Problems

I have mixed feeling regarding the WM6 on the Treo 750

All previouse problems gone: Always get ring sound, the SD never disconnects...

Also I now can't leave with out the internet connection sharing.

The device locked up ALOT i found out its the activesync, I have about 150 contacts with about 20 with pictures and about 300 synced schedualed events, plus not too many mails,

Activesync works really slow and slows down the entire device when active, sometime it freezes the device, I used to find that it is stuck, so I changed the activesync to manual schdule and since then 4 days without soft reset.

I used to sync every 15 minutes and not "as items arrive" to preserve battary.

I also have a problem with iGO gps software that loads compresses, I think I pinpointed this problem to a GAPI problem, I started MorphGear and used manul driver, when GDI and raw framebuffer the display is ok, with GAPI the screen is compressed like in iGO,

Any chance its possible to get old GAPI drivers from the WM5 Treo 750? which are the files controlling GAPI?

maybe stupid questions. you call the lower button the ptt but the rom has no ptt on it after intsalling

Saving Personal Informations

Hi,

Here is a really stupid beginners question:

I've downloaded the wm6 upgrade, but after Upgrade all personal Informations(SMS,MMS, Pictures, Email, Contacts...) are lost, right?

So, Pictures, Emails and Contacts shouldn't be a problem, because it's synced

to my PC via ActiveSync.... but how about SMS, MMS and so on?

Is it possible to backup them and restore after Update?

Thanks for the help...
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] lingalan:
For backuping the SMS

Please manually copy the file at

Windows/PalmMsgV001 to your SD Card
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] silverzz28:
ok can anyone answer the question? Is this rom suppose to have PTT?

I really need it for my business!

WM6: Poor Battery Life

Anyone noticed improved battery performance (that is if you had poorer battery life after WM6 update) when mounting extended rom, wiping default setup stuff and hard resetting device? I feel I did, definitely noticed more pep to the OS behavior, but feel the battery is doing a bit better too. Went an entire weekend (allbeit with very little phone or internet activity) between HSDPA and 3G and battery life was on par with WM5 behavior (for its worth). So far today with normal phone and internet activity still seeing WM5 comparable battery life.

Just thought I'd share to see if anyone else feels similarly.

Has anyone tested Nokia Intellisync on the WM6 ROM? My company runs Intellisync to sync Notes email to remote devices and I don't want to break something by accident.

Also, how would one "go back" to WM5 if something doesn't work out?
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] djchewy:
I am soooooo fed up!!

Can anyone here give a straight answer?

There is so much technical BS here that I've gone crosseyed already and taken a double dose of exedrine to help the migrane. :mad:

When I get stuck or focussed on something that I want... I need it and at this point I NEED to upgrade my CINGULAR TREO 750 from WM5 to WM6.

I have flashed phones before... too many to count... but for some reason after 23984298 tries I still get stuck on this multicolor screen that has the PALM version numbers and stuff like that.... with the word SERIAL on the bottom... Im sure you all know what im talking about... its been up here numerous times! :(

I've even tried the multiple different download sites and versions and the one for Cingular with the two files... and the separate loading of those files. Also tried to get a third party bootloader... that didnt work either... I feel like a putz right now b/c Im prolly the 3247826583454365398 person to post this without getting it done.... AND I DONT GIVE UP.

If somebody can post a how to with pictures or even call me collect and walk me thru it...lol... Im desperate to get this done!! I need to, first of all, feeel better that I can do this and, second, I'd love to know WTF I was doing wrong! :eek:

Any help is greatly appreciated... and I'll even share a laugh at my expense with you if you can tell where and why I am such a putz!

The last thing I want to hear is... Oh u have a Cingular phone... its not possible with them! That would explain it but then I am just take a large calibur shotgun to the dome... just kidding... dont need the police comin to my door checking for my body... :D

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] tmknight:
Issue I had was needing to format to fat32. Used this trial tool, worked like a charm: http://www.cnetx.com/format/download.asp

Good luck

PS Not being a smart-ass nor trying to get your BP any higher than it appears to already be, but remember that this is unofficial and not supported at this time. If you trully need wm6 functionality for business purposes then you should get a device with supported wm6 OS. If its THAT important to your business, wouldn't you want something that you will get you provider support - if you brick your phone with an unsupported flash, then you're on your own and SOL. Just trying to put things in perspective. Again good luck and "serenity now".
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] djchewy:
I'll try the link... thanx for the effort of replying! But i just wanted to comment and rejustify... I dont need this for business use... i have just put so much blood sweat and tears into getting this to work that I feel like a schmuck if I cant do it but other ppl can... I think only a few ppl can relate to that... i feel its some form of OCD personally. I love to debug and troubleshoot things as well as build from scratch and rebuild broken things so I guess it's just me... but once again... HEEEELPP!!

I can almost gaurantee that if somebody helps me do it I will return the favor ten fold and post a very complete and detailed way with pictures on how to succesfully do this with bricking anything or anybody!
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] abs99:
Yes, these are great too although I still can't comment on the BT functionality :( !

if yes will there be defult palm logos or WM6 logos

like

when u turn on and off Phone part of treo on unbranded WM5 it had Treo Smrtphone Logo

in ATT it had ATT logo
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] bnycastro:
yes if you delete the ext rom files and do a hard reset the att stuff will not be installed this includes the radio on and radio off images. they will become palm's Treo logo instead of att. the links for att and other att stuff are also gone.

[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] :
I found 2 files under ExtendedROM\Partiotion. Is these 2 files all I have to delete?
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] vladimir2989:
DA - Yes and do hard reset after that
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] :
vladimir2989

Thanks. I hope official version will have the same WM6 number as this At&t. If I'd have to do another hard reset in a week or so, I'm gonna lost my mind.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] abs99:
Anyone know how to disable internal GPS Location Service?

My brother just told me he was able to greatly improve his battery life on a Moto Q just by disabling the GPS Location service (he left 911 service active). I remember WM5 had this option on the Treo (and I had that disabled) however, I can't figure out where to go to disable this on the 750? I see the icon for disabling the external GPS receiver but I think that is something different . . .

Thanks.

Problem receiving incomming calls since WM6...

Hi,

I've just upgrade my Treo 750v (french vodaphone branded, unlocked) with the WM6 version posted in the forum.

Everything was just fine untill I understood the Treo could'nt receive the incomming calls.

I can call normally call, send SMS, MMS, use the Edge connection for IE but can't receive calls.

I checked up the settings for forwarding calls and it seems OK.

Anybody encounter the same problem ? Someone has tested the WM6 in a french 750 ? With Bouygues Telecom ?

Anybody knows how to fix the problem ?

Thx :(
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] vladimir2989:

[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] The Solutor:
Delete ONLY the capackage file, don't touch the carrierdb file or you are going to loose the autoconfigure network parameters feature.

Not big thing but you have to configure th apn, the mms settings, the proxy (if needed) and so on.

With the carrierdb file all the parameters will be set automagically on the first SIM insertion.

All the AT&T crap is inside the cabpackage file
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] vladimir2989:
no need for carrierdb if not in US

i delited bouth files and it found all the settings for Russian MTS carrier works great internet explorer, e-mail

ill thou for some reason Live Messenger dosent see network connection even if im browthing with IE at the same time ???
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] :
Now I have unbranded WM6 ROM, too. Thanks goes out to Asukal
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] The Solutor:
You are partly right, carrierdb is (obviously) needed for the auto network configuration but there is a second copy of it in the windows directory, so is safe to delete both the files in EXT_rom
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] jrmccracken:
Wow

Has anyone noticed a major performance boost after updating? My ATT 750 seems to be running a lot faster even though it is using about 15% more memory. The only "bug" I have been able to find is that Voice Command still will not announce through my bluetooth headset, which is a major inconvenience but every rose has thorns.

Has anyone experecned the WM6 bootlogo change after upgrade WM6?

Which i succeffully upgrade WM6 and also unlock extrom from the discussion previously. However, i found that the position of the my bootlogo has some offset and color has been different (not sure? i don't remember what it was previously) as well.

Does anyone know how to change the bootlogo picture or how to adjust the position?

Trying my hardest to upgrade to WM6

What am I doing wrong?

I have an exmpty 2GB miniSD card..

Only has a folder called WMDRM and the CHEEIMG.nbh file

Pressed the PTT button and the reset button while plugged into a power supply.

It only restarts and then that's it...

Have I missed a step? Please help!

Should I move the CHEEIMG.nbh file in the WMDRM folder? or leave it in the root folder?

mate you'll need to take out the card, insert it into your computer/laptop and format the card to FAT32 first. after that copy and paste the rom file onto it, insert it back into your Treo then follow the instructions.
