Reliability issue

Football is great. Football is good. Long live foot ball. All kind thoughts and respect to him and his family.

Now, my observations on his work. Using A03 preview I get crashes/lock ups frequently and they appear to be connected to alarms. What happens is all runs well and fast except my scheduling. If the PDA is off, no alarm will sound. When I turn it on I get the reminder and an alarm sound (late) and when I try to clear the reminder the machine locks up. That is frustrating. As long as I leave the machine on the alarms sound as they should. I have noticed that when I turn the machine on the time takes about a second to switch to current time some times. That may be part of the issue. I have also loaded the sound fix cabs and this has not worked for me to solve the reminder/alarm issue when the machine is off. Over all, it is faster. I like HTML email in WM6 better than FlexMail and bluetooth hooks up very fast to my keyboard, GPS, and phone.

I have loaded A03 twice. I did not have problems with the alarms at first but after a day or two I noticed lock ups. I unloaded and went back to A17 which has not such issues and worked great for me. And yet, I would like WM6 to work for the e-mail, speed, better bluetooth, and other features that are a little slicker. I am patient. A17 has been fine. A17 was more reliable than A12 by far, had more available memory, was faster and so on. I do use my PDA for business. I will probably go back to A17 until this glitch with alarms and reminders is cleared up.

Hi There

Can you please tell me how to go back to a17? and can you attach the cab file or file needed? can you email me my email is hyedegha@gmail.com

Here is a thread on the ROM

http://www.aximsite.com/boards/x50-x51-forums/214796-x51v-rom-aku-3-5-2-a.html

Good luck. Regarding the sound fix files, they are on this XDA site in a thread for bug fixes on the WM6 rom but I do not have the address. Just know that this only adds some sound files that are missing. It does not fix the bug that fails to sound the alarms.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ChillyCat:
Observation & Opinion :​

Please respect the fact that "FOOTBALL" does all this work on his own personal time. He owes all of us nothing. There has never been any posting that indicates any of his work will work for everyones device.

Clearly, not all featues are working 100% for everyone. For the most part, i've found his latest build to be fully functional with just a few minor bugs related to connectivity.​

If you've found that his ROM is working for you....that's great.

If you're experiencing issues....then revert to a known fully functional ROM

In the meantime, respect the fact that his work is indeed a "work in progress"​

My sound

I have the same problem with the alarm sound not working. But with Battery Pack Pro installed, there is a program Power Alert. With Power Alert you can config sounds for calendar, tasks and alarm events. When I did that, my alarm sound is working.

Ofcourse this sound is 'produced' by power alert, which monitors the events. And so doesn't solve the real sound problem. But sound is working with it, so that's the most important thing for me.

x51v rom editing

Would it be really hard to

remove programs like htc home,task

swither etc from the rom to get more

free ram?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ahovis:
This is not hard. If you want to participate in the DEVELOPMENT of the WM6 ROM for the x51v stick around and if you have anything constructive to say please do. If not, go somewhere else to complain.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gjw:
I wonder if the alarm problems are similar to the WM2003 alarm problems.

In that case, the fix was found by modifying the registry.

Does the following key still exist in WM6?

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts

If it's there (or something similar), it could be that increasing the timeout would fix the alarm problems.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SlowIce:
Dell x51v WM6

Anybody interested??

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cravaus:
All praise and high callorie treats go to Football.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Power\timeout contains the following keys (values) in WM6 Football:

ACResumingSuspendTimeout (60)

ACSuspendTimeout (1799)

ACUserIdle (0)

BattResumingSuspendTimeout (60)

BattSuspendTimeout (299)

BattUserIdle (0)

I am happy to experiement with a little direction so if one of these keys would help with the alarm problem I will try. The funny thing is that the SkSchema alarms work fine. Similar system but perhaps a different method of triggering alarm.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NewtonDKC:
Actually there are other people who have posted that their alarms are working so I'm not the only one. So instead of people getting nasty and insulting each other, how about we try to work together and see if we can figure out why it works for some people and not others? If nothing else, it will help pass the time until Football gets time to make "A04". :-)

Anyway, for my setup, I am using A03 and have installed only the following applications:

(commercial)

Calligrapher

WisBar Lite

(cabs found on this thread/site)

Sirius WM5 (which doesn't work for me)

Sleuth's WM6 VOIP (which also doesn't work)

HTC x Button

Shayd WiFI TOdy PlugIn

WindowsLive (works!)

Shaun SIP COnfig Tool

MS OneNote Mobile (not sure if this is part of Wm6?)

HTC 3D Keyb

Usually I have a lot more commercial apps installed, but my SD card that contains my cabs is missing at the moment, and I can't get my device to connect to Vista to install them thru Windows Mobile Device Center. I'm also going to remove the apps that aren't working.

Maybe if we can compare notes for those who have working alarms versus those that don't, maybe we can find some clue on what's up - maybe a 3rd party app is "fixing" the issue (sort of like krollebol's workaround with Power Alert). Despite the occasional nasty response or ungrateful person, I personally do like helping other people when I can. So maybe we can do something constructive that might actually lead to some information on what's happening in both instances.

GJW - good idea about the issue & fix that worked with WM2003. I'll try to get a reg editor installed and let you know if the entry is still there (as well as what my values are since mine are working).

Anyone else want to list any details of what you have installed with working alarms? Also, specify any details for your particular setup (for example, someone posted that their alarms work *if* the device is already power on - so list anything like this you may have noticed).

Also, I may re-flash mine and see if they work from the beginning, in case it has nothing to do with any installed 3rd party apps. I wonder if there is any differences in hardware - maybe different sound hardware on different revisions of the main board? I remember the debacle Casio had with their Cassiopeia upgrade program when it was discovered one of the "minor" hardware revisions simply would not work with Pocket PC 2000 - this discovered after they had promised upgrades to all owners of the device. So it could even be a problem of that nature. Anyone have any detailed knowledge of the Axim x51v and if it had varying hardware revisions? If so, then we could even list a range of device id numbers to see if we can figure out which ones work and which ones don't.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cravaus:
Football is a fine human being, achieved the ultimate, gained status, and is worthy of praise.

Here is an artical on the WM2003 issue and a registry edit.

http://www.mtekk.com.au/Articles/tabid/54/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/400/Default.aspx

In light of this information, I have multiple calandar entries and alarms for almost every day. The issue may not be the third party apps but the number of entries in the calandar for a given day. This may explain why notifications worked for me when first installing the rom but failed after a few days. I have less entries on a week end. We will see what happens with the time out interval. This artical says to edit the BattResumingSuspendTimeout key but ACResumingSuspendTimeout may also need to be edited given that this happens when my unit is charging at night. I recall doing this tweek to my X30 high in the past and it was helpful. We will see.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cravaus:
Is anyone else finding that their system freezes when you try to clear a notification? This is just an issue when the machine wakes up from off. The alarms sound as expected when the machine is in the on state. Also, the alarms will sound if I do not try to clear the notification and reset the device. Durring the reset the alarms will sound.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Sc0rpion:
About time I had some luck, I better buy a Lotto ticket this week :)

Just tested my reminders/alarms from off and they wake the pda up and sound fine. also no lock ups yet.

The only thing i remember doing was going into settings/sounds & notifications/ and ticking/checking all the boxes.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cravaus:
I wonder if there is a way to do this with SkSchema. I already monitor some system events with that.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gjw:
Are those the only keys?

WM5 has quite a few more:

ACResumingSuspendTimeout

ACSuspend

ACSuspendTimeout

ACSuspendTimeout (yes, a 2nd one)

ACSystemIdle

ACUser Idle

BattResuming SuspendTimeout

BattSuspend

BattSuspendTimeout

Also, if you go up one level to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\

is there a WakeupPowerOff?

What is it set to?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ahovis:
As to alarms, mine all work fine but I am using Agenda Fusion for my PIM. Probably why I have not had a problem.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Xdenwarrior:
Very interesting. Ahovis, or somebody else who has their alarms working, could you check your registry? I think those third-party applications change your registry, which somehow fixes the alarm problem.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] frelnik:
Does anybody find that their battery drains an unusual amount in standby with this ROM? I did a hard reset this morning, did the fake server active sync hack (don't know if it's needed in WM6, but I figure no harm in doing it), installed absolutely no software, and put it into standby. Came home from work nine hours later and the battery dropped from 100% to 94%. Is this normal?

I would just like to say I do appreciate Footballs work but in the mean time I have had to revert back to A12 so that I can use WPA-PSK (I refuse to compromise my network even if the rom is great in every other way).

Keep up the good work and hopefully in the future Wi-Fi is resolved and I will be able to upgrade again...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jackleung:
Why not WM5 A17 from Football? It's the perfect rom for X51v for the moment
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NewtonDKC:
Frelnik - in your fake Exchange Server setup, did you leave the default settings for checking email? If so this could be what's draining your battery as it wakes up every 10 minutes (I think that's the default time interval) to check for mail. I'd try setting these to manual (if you haven't already of course!). Let us know if that makes a difference! :-)

And glad to see other people's alarms are working too!

And yes, I agree with those posting "Thank You's" to Football - you're amazing dude and Thank You so very much for bringing us a way to use WM6 on our Axims!!! :-)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] frelnik:
Yeah, I put it to manual. The battery still drains, yet according to the Running Programs tab in the Memory settings, nothing is open.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] UnicornKaz:
6% in 9 hours ?? :eek: YOU should be so lucky !! :D

That's a whopping 6.25 days ( standby ) .... what are you complaining about ?? :D

As usual big thanks to Football. Currently running A03, has anyone managed to get the Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard to work with A03, have tried but just wont have it.

Will connect under normal bluetooth but WONT give me the keyboard facility, under Stowaway driver util it wont find the keyboard.

Any help appreciated.

alarm bug fix

I checked the 'xml' file in the download and then 'manually' added those changes

to the registry and it worked for me too.

Created 'Alarm' then the 'Speaker' inside 'Alarm',

Created 'Clock' then the 'Category' inside 'Clock'.

These are the changes copied from my .reg export files:

---

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Alarm]

"Speaker"=hex:01

---

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Clock]

"Category"="Alarm"

NOTE: I don't know why the '\Alarm]' isn't displaying properly in the text above.

- there are no spaces in the word 'Alarm'!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pcguymy:
I don't think you should talk this way about a guy who gives his own free time to do the WM6 ROM for all X51v users. How sure are you that he does not know how to make WiFi and sounds work ? If you are worried that his ROM will give you problems, then by all means don't upgrade. Use whatever ROM you think works best for you.

FYI, I have tried A03 and found that WPA does not work and I cannot connect to the Net at my work place. So I went back to the A17 ROM and I will wait patiently until football gets the WM6 ROM right !

Like what ChillyCat said - football does all his work on his personal time and he did not promise that his ROMS will work on everybody. So please respect the man !

Meanwhile I am still happily using A17 ROM and will wait patiently for football's WM6 ROM which can work for me !

I was having issues with WPA in that version as well....A12 from Dell works perfectly with WPA which is what I need...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] krollebol:
My wifi worked after this ...

When I just flashed the A03 preview, my WPA protected wifi didn't work anymore.

But then I tried something posted in the beginning of this thread:

- Go to Settings -> Connections -> Connections

- Choose 'Advanced' and then 'Select Networks'

- Choose 'My work Network' in both boxes. (mine was saying 'My isp').

That's all, after this config wifi is working fine. Sometimes I can't reconnect (when i didn't use it for a while), but switching wireless off and on again mostly helps.

With WM6 it also connects much quicker than on WM5 (a few seconds to connect, on WM5 it sometimes took more than 1 minute).

Untill now no problems with this A03 preview. Thanks a lot!

power drain

I had posted something about higher battery drain on the wm6 roms a while back. there is a drain in my axim. i think i have figured out what is going on in mine.

my axim in set on 'auto' for the cpu mhz. however no matter what it is always pegged at 624mhz. if i manually set it to 201mhz, i get most of my battery life back.

i have used pocket mechanic to see if something is utilizing the cpu in he background, etc etc etc....

I have come to the idea that on my axim that the auto mode for cpu mhz is broken and keeps my axim at 624mhz n o matter what.

can someone look into this? is there a registry setting to force it to idle lower?

also did this on fresh images and such. this has been an issue on my axim since a01.

heres some sauce for the goose: my alarms have worked flawlessly since a01 without 3rd party software. lol

thank you guys!

I'm using A01 and do not have this problem of high processor usage.

CPU usage

Just reminding everyone that the CPU will remain at 624MHz when you are

connected to AC power.

Only when you are on the battery will it slow down when possible.

I am mentioning this because some time ago I had thought that one of the

ROMs had broken that feature until I disconnected from the AC.
