Hay guys! ges wat! WPA/TPSK doesn't work! I thought I should skip reading the thread and immediately let you know!

On a serious note, I'll post this again. Works for me 100% of the time and I have never once had a single problem with WPA since A01. Though It could be router specific?

Basically, just start the dell wifi utility and attempt to connect. ( i know it will just keep trying and not succeed). After about 1-2 seconds, just turn off the wifi with the off button. Then, turn it back on and it should connect just fine.

This works for me until the next reset (which thanks to WM6 has not happened for a long time). then I just repeat the process.

Give it a shot. If that does not work, then try odyssey. Otherwise, just wait for a fix. It has been a known problem since the first beta and they are working on it.

So, what is the status with the problem previously reported about not being able to edit mail accounts after initial setup. I am still on 02 and probably will wait for the final release rather than install the preview version as it is working great for me in everything I do. However, not being able to edit mail settings has been a problem and wondered if it was fixed in the preview 03 release?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pcguymy:
I have flashed the A03 ROM and am still not able to add new mail accounts.

Hope this will be fixed in the final release !
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NewtonDKC:
I'm using the A03 Preview and had no problem adding additional accounts. My initial email was for my work (Exchange Activesync - I am SOOOO glad this is working now in A03 - it's critical for me and I was disappointed it didn't work when I first tried A01. But then I tried the WM5 A17 ROM which was a really nice upgrade from what I had been using anyway!). :-)

Anyway, after I read that some people couldn't add additional email accts, I went in and tried adding my Google Mail acct. I used the Wizard and after a couple screens it went out and grabbed the settings off the web and voila! It works great!

As such, is it maybe a problem adding accts manually? I haven't tried that yet - but wanted to post so people would know it doesn't affect everybody using A03 for WM6.

And again I have to give praise to Football for his astonishing efforts - it really makes you wonder why companies like Dell don't - at the very least - offer such upgrades with no support or minimal support or what have you for the techy geeks to at least play with (the average user probably wouldn't upgrade anyway or even know where to check for it). In any case, you rock Football!!!! Thank you a million times over!!! :-)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ahovis:
Just as an update, mine in 02 worked for a while and allowed me to use the wizard but when I saw a post about others having a problem, I checked and mine no longer worked. When I open mail I get the option to add a new account but when I select it, it just opens the last account I was using. Same thing happens when I go to the account list and try to select one to edit. The only one that is active is the Outlook E-mail account. My other accounts can not be opened for editing. Odd behavior for sure.

NewtonDKC, where did you find the FixWM6sounds cab you referred to ? Don't remember seeing that. I too started on an original Newton (still have it and a 2000 somewhere).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nonpaq:
I dont know if this is the one NewtonDKC was referring, but it seems to do the same ... CAB found in this Post from this thread.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JayNewlin:
Arrggghh... Downloaded it to try, only to find out that its beeps, squeaks, and squawks seem to be permanent. I'm not a fan of such sounds, so can anyone tell me how to undo this CAB's functionality? While it installs like a program, there is no REMOVE option. It's also not controlled by Settings --> Sounds & Notifications --> Screen Taps/HW buttons. :eek:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NewtonDKC:
Yes, nonpaq, that's it! :-) I got it from a different thread - I think the Distephano Cab Compilation thread if I recall correctly.

AHovis - I still have my old Newtons too (I have one of each except for the Original and the 2100)!!! I still love the Newton GUI - in my opinion, NewtonOS 2.x is still light years ahead of anything available today (so many reviews that slam it even to this day apparently never used 2.0...I hate reading an article about PDA history as so many of them start out with how bad the Newton was and don't bother mentioning how most of this was fixed in Newton OS2.0 - not being able to sync was the big issue, NOT the HWR!). :-)

I think if someone would just clone the Newton Notepad applet for WindowsMobile I'd be happy - I really miss it - it was fast, flexible, and made capturing any bit of data fast and efficient. Sometimes I'll get them out and play with them - oh the nostalgia!!! I'll never forgive Steve Jobs for killing it off especially as it had just formed its own independent Newton Inc company - and he pulled it back into Apple just to kill it! WHat a jerk! :-) If it stayed around, can you imagine how far head we'd all be with PDA's today? And I know some people will say "Yeah, the iPhone is it" but it's not at all. I had hoped that a lot of the Newton UI would make it in the iPhone, but alas, no.

Anyway, sorry to get so off topic! :-) But yes, the Newton will always hold a special place in my geek heart. :-)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nonpaq:
What I noticed is that after you install the CAB and go to Sounds and Notifications, the settings may be unchecked even though the sounds are activated. Just enable all the settings for the sounds even if it is already active, then uncheck. (Ie. cycle on, then off) By unchecking Events, Screen Taps and Hardware buttons, I was able to 'silence' my Axim as before (note: I am using A03Preview).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JayNewlin:
Upgraded to A03 today

Hi, gang!

First, kudos to Football for all the incredible work that he is putting into this WM6 for us! I upgraded to A03-Preview today, and all is working well for me.

I have been able to install all my programs without a hitch, and I agree that everything seems to be running very quickly.

I installed the Windows Live that was posted a couple pages ago, and everything is working fine. I've also been able to add my GMail and Yahoo! accounts without any difficulty in Messaging.

I'm a happy camper getting happier by the ROM upgrade! :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JayNewlin:
No dice ... It still bleeps and blurps at me because this CAB seems to "see" menu functions as Events. If I turn off sounds for Events, then the sounds go away, but I usually leave Events on. Oh, well ... I probably won't notice if there are other sounds missing. (I'm also on A03.)

Thanks for the reply.

Yup! I used my A02 backup after I loaded A03 and everything is perfect!:)

Just one teeny error, the \Windows\Startup under A02 had a link to SplashV.exe which doesn't seem to exist in A03 so it complains on startup. I deleted the link and now all is fine. Does anyone know what SplashV was/is?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mingjhwang:
Hi NightLoad,

I have similar issue. Do you know if WMV9 is supported in A03?

I have the WM5 codecs in my windows directory. Also I have TCPMP 0.81 and CorePlayer 1600 build installed. When playing a video file in WMV9 format using TCPMP or CorePlayer, the audio is fine but the video is very choppy. I do have 2700G turned on in TCPMP. There is no option to enable it in CorePlayer so I assume it's used by default.

When playing the same file in Window Media, I got an error message "An object or name was not found". Of course, no audio nore video.

Any idea?

activesync problem. Can't sync on both xp and vista

I upgraded to A03, everything works great, except activesync. I tried to sync with activesync 4.5 on xp, didn't work. sync on vista, didn't work either. I tried to read every post in this topic, but has no clue how to fix the problem. Could anyone please give me a pointer to resolve this problem? Thanks.

I found out the problem. Basically, go to start->setting->connection->USB to PC->Uncheck "Enable advanced network functionality"

and it works. Thanks so much the this rom. It's the best.

Does that charge while the device is in use? My separate charge cable only charges my Axim if it is sleeping. when I turn it on the charge light just turns off and it runs on battery.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Lojik Supreme:
the splashv.exe has something to do with funk software ie; oddessy. That's the same error I kept getting when I restored from A01 to A03. Since I just went from wep to wpa tsk, I didn't want to take the risk introducing an wi-fi potential issue with the rom so I just did a reset and full re-install. No error now. No email issues either. I can readily change and edit all of my email accounts. I don't sync with Outlook mail. I have it set to send/recieve on it's own. pop3, gmail, windows live. No problems.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gjw:
Nothing to do with Funk Software.

SplashV is the little Dell splash screen that came up after every hard reset, explaining the use of the Wireless hardware button.

Basically informational wallpaper, it served no purpose other than that.

In CorePlayer you go to Menu - Tools - Preferences - Select Page and there you will find a page for the Intel 2700G.

Spb time does not work here

Hi,

First thank Mr. Football and all you warm hearted guys.

I have a issue with Spb time 2.1.5, not sure whether it's related to the remaining alarm bug or not.

Spb time only popup the snooze/dismiss screen but no sound, and it does not go away with setting "Auto snooze" - that's after a reset, most of the time Spb time just by pass my alarm!

Anybody have the same problem? Any idea!

Mine do have the same problem because Axim draw too much power if wifi is on when I charge it w/ the car. Turn off wifi and it charge w/o problem.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Caveman6:
The device charges while it is on. The Axim requires just a little above 5 volts, so if the charger is on the low side of 5 volts or right at 5 volts, it won't charge while it is running because the power consumption is too high.

If the charger is at about 5.3 volts I think you are fine.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nonpaq:
I did some research on sound schemes and expanded my post here. Looks like sounds are controlled for events by the registry. If you modify the specific registry key, you can selectively remove sounds for specific events (menupop and menuselect for instance). Unfortunately, I can't test it because the regeditor I use (Total commander) doesn't handle multi-string datatypes well. Anyone see a sound scheme editor application to do the registry changes automatically? Looks like it would make for a great xda-dev app!!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gjw:
If regisrations/authorizations are device specific then they're usually based upon the device's Owner name.

As long as you enter the same name after the upgrade then I don't see why anything would change for you.

Mirror Mode available?

Hi you guys,

thanks football for your efforts of modifying the wm6 rom for our beloved Axim X51v.

Up to now I have not tried any different rom than the one provided by Dell, so here is my stupid question:

Does this rom support the mirror mode found in the Dell rom, for it is a feature that can only be found in devices with a VGA out option?

I guess WM6 was not designed for an Axim x51v, that's why I'm asking.

Thanks a lot.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Baron_FEL:
Does this USB cable deliver 5.4v high input current so the battery actually recharges ? (http://www.pc-mobile.net/x50note.htm)

I got my sync/charge cable from gomadic and its bulls***. Absolutely useless if you want to be able to recharge your axim (all it does when plugged is keep it running off the battery - and still I noticed a couple percent blown every 15-20 minutes).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] KBachler:
The battery actually recharges if the Axim is OFF. If it is on then I believe you need 5.3 volts (the device mentioned in the particular URL provides 5.4 volts, which provides wiggle room if the charging device is functioniong below specs.)

I've had the Boxwave device, it delivers about 5.0-5.1 volts. It will not charge the Axim if it is on. You will get the screen flickering mentioned in the article quoted above.

I was wondering about the Penguin from PPCTechs, but haven't checked on it. I currently use a charger from Igo, and also charge my phone and BT headset off the same device.

If you really wish more info, you should move this to another thread. This thread is about WM6 for the Axim X51v, not charging Axims.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] s01q:
so this is a SW descision to charge or not to charge? or is the hardwired?

I just took the plung and I am soooo glad I did, my axim is like a whole new unit again.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jackleung:
As I said before (and further proved by the link about), the problem is not voltage but the current most of the time. That's why we need to minimize current use in order to get it charge.

There is a free today plugin called "battery status" which could display how much current is being consume.

e.g And idle X51v w/ minimum brightness used about 122 mA.

While running w/ 624mzh, wifi, BT, maximum brightness could use 635 mA which could overload many USB power supply.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NewtonDKC:
Okay, finally ran into some issues. When I got back to work, I tried to partner it with my desktop - it steadfastly refuses to sync or even be recognized properly (i.e. Sync Center in Vista never activates or see it as a PPC). I've read back thru and saw another guy with the same problem - is this happening to everyone with A03? I was able to sync just fine with Exchange ActiveSync - it's specifically synching to my Vista Desktop that I can't do.

Also, after trying to partner it and failing, when I got home last night my wireless connection seems to have gotten corrupted or something. I was able to connect to the AP just fine - but I could no longer Exchange ActiveSync, nor could I reach any web sites in Pocket IE. I checked all the usual culprits (to make sure I didn't have a proxy picked up from work - I tried MY ISP as well as Work with the proxy option off but checked to connect to the internet, I had an IP, and so on - but no wireless comm actually worked. I tried again at work this morning, thinking it might be my home AP (even tho my notebook and my friend's notebook and TiVo all still worked wirelessly) but I also could not get anything to work on my work's wireless network either (and again, it connected okay and I got an IP - it's just nothing would work; couldn't Ex Async, couldn't reach any sites in IE, etc).

Has anyone else run into this? I finally did a hard reset and set my wireless connections back up, and everything is once again working fine under WiFi. I still can not partner to my Vista desktop however.

The only other weird thing is that my battery seemed to drop to no power in a very short period of time today before I hard reset. I was thinking maybe whatever was preventing wireless networking to work was maybe taxing the battery, but it just happened once so can't be sure.

Anyway, can anyone sync okay under Vista and A03 over USB? Has anyone else's WiFi stopped working like mine did (i.e. it appears connected with a valid IP, it just can't go anywhere on the web or Sync over Ex Async, etc)?

Added later: this is such a minor item that I'm not even sure if it is considered an issue, but when I go into ActiveSync in A03, the Keyboard or active SIP activates. It's not a big deal to tap it off, but thought I'd mention it since it should only auto activate when something is expecting text input and ActiveSync doesn't have this on the primary screen.

And if there's a place where the issues and solutions is located outside this thread, please let me know where and I'll check it out. If it happens again I may bump back to A17/WM5 until A03 final is released - but wanted to report my problems so Football could see them and to see if anyone else has run into this.

Thanks as always and despite the hiccups, this is fun and has made me interested in my PDA again!!! :-)

wifi appears connected but can't surf anywhere

I just installed A03 yesterday and was having problems connecting to my

wireless router.

The connection appeared to be successful but PIE kept giving me the error

message about "...can't connect using the current settings...".

So I was ready to reflash to A17 when I checked one last setting in the

'Settings' -> 'Connections' -> 'Advanced'-> 'Select Networks':

I changed the 'which networks are automatically used' selection to

'My Work Network ' instead of 'My ISP'.

After doing this everything worked itself out and I was up and surfing the

internet using PIE.

Just thought I'd post this since it appears that separating problems between A03

and WM6 itself are sometimes difficult to determine.
