hey i noticed something odd in the wlan utility menu, didnt ever notice it in the A03 rom or 2003, maybe im just blind, but after you turn wifi on, the button seems to glitch along with "WLAN ON" not in any exact set time that i can see. just noticed it bc i was staring at my screen with a blank mind. being that sometimes that i can see my router and others not and not being able to connect be a result of the wifi card being tuned on and off repeatedly? could it be that the software would show that its enabled but keeps power cycling for what ever odd reason. also noticed it does it when the wifi card is off, another though, could it be the code for seeing if the card is enabled is not fully operational with the wireless chipset ?

sorry if im being retarded but it was just a thought.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
I mentioned something similar to this in the WM5 A03 thread yesterday. I've noticed the same behavior.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] satnile:
cavyman,

When I go to the WLAN utility, then config tab, then look at the signal quality, I can see there are intermittent good signals coming from my wireless router for a second then it disappears. For some reason this WM6 rom causes malfunction of the WLAN adapter probably due to problem with the WLAN utility driver.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] WraithTDK:
That got it! Thanks man!

I first updated Windows 2003 SE to 2005 and then to 2006. Everything works as advertised :) Thanks for the ROM!

To those who are having problems getting it to read the image... as someone suggested earlier, you need to hold the Power + Wireless for a few seconds before you click Reset and continue holding it until the update screen comes up.

Be patient and don't give up.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
Actually, there is no requirement on how long you hold Power + Wireless *before* tapping Reset. The only catch to the process (and the key to getting into the SD Image Loader) is to *quickly tap* the Reset button. Most people who are not familiar with the process make the mistake of holding in Reset as long as they would for a hard-reset.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] blazingwolf:
I know holding the power and Wireless button before hitting reset worked better for me. I had trouble no matter how quickly I was hitting the soft reset button before doing this.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Empel1960:
Hi,

Maglite this version doesn't have office on it?

I can't find excel nor any of the other applications

Regards
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
I think you misread what I typed. You *must* hold Power + Wireless *before* tapping Reset. However, what I was saying is that it does not matter how long Power + Reset is held before tapping Reset. What I wrote was in response to the previous post by kallin:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
They're on the Start menu:

Start -> Office Mobile

That will pull up a folder with the office apps in it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Empel1960:
Doh...

Thanks cavyman, appreciate your help
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 1337woody:
just thought of something about the wifi issue. i used odyssey client to connect to my wifi and it continues to connect and stay for a few seconds then disconnects, maybe it scans for AP's finds 1 connects but dosent register as so and tries again and reinitiates a scan and the process starts again. now i killed odyssey and it now stays connected.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
But I can almost guarantee that if you were to soft-reset (or maybe just turn off) your Axim that it will not connect again automatically as it should. I have had no luck whatsoever with Odyssey in WM6. :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 1337woody:
actually after connecting with odyssey and then proceeding to quit the app my unit has remained connected as far as i can tell while browsing the net. and i have turned it off 2 or 3 times and it still auto connects without asking for my wep key. maybe temp workaround?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
Well, for what it's worth, after not connecting to my wireless all day, I just cradled my Axim to charge it and it connected to my WiFi. :confused: Now it's working fine even off the cradle. :rolleyes:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 1337woody:
ok never mind that, it showed that i was connected but wasnt working with net so i turned it off and it didnt reconnect this time. on well must have been a fluke. well i guess also for what its worth my odyssey strategy for a 2nd time for me but might just be luck

WM6 for Palm Treo 700wx

would this rom work on my palm treo 700wx? m currently running WM5.

Please email me at gil2027@gmail.com

thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] blazingwolf:
I didn't misread. I literally had to hold the wireless and power longer (perhaps a couple of seconds) to get this to work. If I didn't then it did not matter how quickly I pressed the soft reset button. Took me about 15 tries to figure this out.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
No, it is designed specifically for an Axim X50v. You will have to search around for a WM6 ROM for your Treo device.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JSFerris:
Interestingly enough, formatting my SD card then recopying the image over to it did, in fact, work. I have absolutely no idea why that made a difference; I had deleted all the files off the SD card before I originally copied the A02 PR1 image over, but apparently that wasn't enough.

The upgrade isn't done yet, but its installing now, which is much farther than it was getting before.

Thanks for the info. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] saukoon:
if that's the workaround, it seems that the SD Loader has put in some hidden file or changed the structure of the card..

Glad there's a remedy for this
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lysiong:
But my 2gb SD card is working fine even I have 1gb+ data on it. I just simply copy the latest rom into my existing used SD card & use the SD card method to flash my x50v rom.

I'm using WM6A01, after installing Pocket MSN, I could no longer add new email accounts under Messenging. I even tried removing the Hotmail account under the registry. The "add new account" just does not work.

Removing Pocket MSN brought the system back to normal.

Any help ? Thanks.

Is it my Axim dying or anyone else noticed reset with memory error screen from time to time? It happened soon after installing this ROM.

Guys, please test Wi-Fi work with all encryption standarts (WPA, WEP, Non-secured) and write about results in this topic :rolleyes:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bcbarnes:
Tested WiFi w/WEP (4 keys - I think that's a particular type of WEP?) to a NetGear MR814v1, with no problems.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] saukoon:
Tested:

Using SPB Backup, I am able to restore the image when upgrading from WM6 A01 to WM6 A02 PR1. The only problem is btdwake.lnk and splashV.lnk are reported to be 'not signed'.

Anyway, both of the shortcuts could be removed from Windows\Startup without problem.

Also the reset hangs at 80% problem is no more. Thanks MagLite!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kriketronic:
Hello, excellent work, I test A01 and works fine, but A02 is excellent.

My tests:

- WiFi with WEP 64 bits works fine and connect very fast.

- I can't connect ActiveSync with Bluetooth connection (Maybe my mistake?) look for second opinion.

- I think this is a bug: Alarms works fine, but no sound. simply visual message but no alarm sound. In WM6 A01 works fine, but today with A02 PR1 I didn't wake up at time. I tried to change sound file Alarm2, Alarm5, Default, etc...

Thanks, It's a GREAT JOB!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] BrettDioson:
Wi-Fi with WPA-PSK works fine for me connecting to a DGL-4300 dLink Router. Even after a soft reset or two. Connects without intervention.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
ActiveSync via bluetooth works great for me. In fact, it's WAY syncing now than it was in A01 and A02 alpha/beta.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MagLite_RUS:
Yes, it's a bug... Sorry, I hope you are not late for work / institute? :rolleyes:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
Non-secured works great for me.

WEP also works wonderfully.

WPA-PSK finally works consistently and connects very quickly.

WPA (non-PSK) seems to initiate connection fine, but I fail to fully connect to my university's wifi due to a certificate/security problem. I'm able to put in my username, password, and domain when prompted (due to 802.11 authentication), but I do not have a certificate from my university.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MagLite_RUS:
Thanks for testing! :cool: I'm working on "certificates bug", today i'm testing new Football's rom (A03) and i'm successfuly install certificates... =\
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] doclorenzo:
Great work MagLite

Just upgraded to WM6 A02 PR1 from WM5 A03 yesterday and I'm very impressed. It's faster/more responsive and looks better :-).

One thing I'm wondering though. Why was Odyssey removed, and is it possible to make a .cab file for it?

So far I have only found one minor bug, a bug that I am quite sure I saw someone mention earlier in this thread (this 'someone' was using WM6 A01):

- Word completion is not working. No words are suggested when entering text.

--

WM6 A02 PR1 with WPA-PSK is working in my setup (linksys WRT54G router).

--

Very impressive work MagLite - thanks for doing what Dell couldn't (or maybe rather wouldn't) do :-).

- John

BTW: For those who might be considering installing the Widcomm BT stack:

I installed it (could not connect my headset with the MS stack), and it seems to work quite well with WM6 A02 PR1 (no problems so far...).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
Excellent! But no need to rush A03 out! You deserve a break after working SO hard on A02! :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MagLite_RUS:
I'm create Odyssey.cab and install it into my PDA... But since then Wi-Fi not longer worked! :D And i had to make hard reset...

Has anyone else experienced a problem adding an e-mail account into Pocket Outlook (Messaging)? Whenever I click on "New Account", it immediately takes me to the "Outlook" e-mail inbox. I have removed Windows Live Search on the odd chance that had something to do with it, but it still will not allow me to add an account. Any ideas?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Gix:
WPA-PSK working great with an Atheros XR (108 extended range) AP. I've found out that wifi starts OK only if one of the following is true:

- connections/ beam/ "receive all incoming beams" is ON.

- or -

- bluetooth is started.

I prefer to use "aximsite wirelesspower" in cycle mode to start BT, then start Wifi, then stop BT.

Also I tested a TI AR7WRD based Wireless ADSL router. It is working in WEP mode but in WPA-PSK mode is acting like in WM5 A02 situation: it connects but after a couple of second disconnects, then again connects/disconnects for ever (but i remember that in WM2003 worked fine). This was reported in aximsite forum by several users.

Regarding the root certificate issue, maybe some help could be found here: http://www.jacco2.dds.nl/networking/windowsmobile-certinstall.html

There is also a import program with some sample certificates.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
Not true for me. It works even with both of those "off". :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] saukoon:
btw, just curious where's the OneNote mobile that magLite has included in A02 PR1.

I've checked the Office Mobile folder and the general program folders.. not found either.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Gix:
Strange indeed - but could be related to some board/wifi chip revision...?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Gix:
Are you sure you didn't download the A01 version instead?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MagLite_RUS:
LOL :D See screenshot ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] saukoon:
I'm sure i downloaded the A02 from rapidshare.

So its due to SPB backup. I restored from WM6 A01 :p

Thanks everyone!

why still feeling more responsetive wm5A03 than wm6 PR1?

screen speed is much faster in wm5 A03 in WM6 PR1 does't feel snapy tha wm5

any 1 have the same impresion

there is a any way to speed up the driver ...like windows pc overclock the gpu ... or some thing like that?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] drnihili:
The latest ROM was released as a preview release. Has it's status changed? Or is Maglite just tweaking it for final release?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] blazingwolf:
Both work just fine for me.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DrBios:
that only work for games ... dayly screen is not afected by this driver

what i mean is than even changing the GLYPCACHE to 32 KB wm5 still feeling more snapy than wm6 ... there is any way to speed up this ?... a new driver ? overclock option for GPU?

PPC that doesn't have VGA accelerator are snapy than ACCELERATED units like x50v ... i think that this is because OS doesn't use the GPU to diplay images
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] arne-f:
Thanks MagLite for this great work. I just installed wm6 a02 and i'm impressed how fast and stable it is.

I have a problem with the batterie indicator. After changing the batterie an error occurred and the device does a reset. The batterie indicator now shows the same capacity left as before even if the new batterie is fully charged.

WLAN is working fine without encryption and with wep. With wpa encryption my axim connects to my "avm fritz box" router, but disconnects the connection after about three seconds. I had the same problem with the offical wm5 release while it had worked under wm2003.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
That probably is happening because your wireless is not fully enabled. After a soft-reset, you have to turn your Axim off and then turn it back on again before the wireless will actually connect.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] arne-f:
Believe me, I did a lot of soft restets in order to solve the problem ;)

It seems to be a general problem with wm5 and wm6 because under the offical wm5 it didn't work either. Maybe it is just a bad hardware combination with my router. (But why did it work with wm2003? :confused: )

But it's not ab big problem, i'm now connecting with wep encryption :)

I bet you have a TI AR7WRD based router :)

SSL issue?

Hi -- I just tried installing A02 Preview and am having the same problem folks in the Football/x51v WM6 are talking about: SSL certificates don't turn up with the correct name, so Microsoft Exchange won't work with SSL, and secure websites (like gmail) give certificate errors.

I'm seeing a few isolated reports of this issue here, but nothing clear. Is this a known problem? Is it expected to be fixed in A03?

Thanks!

Maglite,

i don't know but after i installed this WM6 A02 PR1 the compaction thread once again seems to be hitting a lot more, like it did in Dell's WM5 A02 Rom. My device seems slow again. I didn't even sync with my PC yet, and only installed TCPMP in main memory.

Anyways, i really want you not to worry for now about making an A03 version, but rather just release really soon a WM6 A02 final version. By that i mean fix all of the bugs that others are talking about, and especcially make sure Windows Live now works (cause football just got it finally to work in his WM6 A03 Preview). Also you can as well enhance the bluetooth icon with the one from aximsite(like football did), and new icons for power and brightness. Football's look very nice!

IT WILL BE GREAT IF THIS WM6 A02 FINAL WOULD BE 100% BUG FREE!!!

Hi,

Your post, quoted here, sounds rather demanding of someone who is generously taking time from his life to work on this for us.

I know I only have a few posts here but have been following things here and it would be nice if people used proper etiquette to make requests instead of it coming off as a demand.

I am sure members here are grateful but please show this in your posts and please do not demand things be done.

Xdenwarrior, I am sure you meant no disrespect and were not demanding things but your post needs to show this.

Sorry for the offtopic but Maglite deserves more respect for the great work he is doing.

Just bricked my axim but o well not the first time i bricked a device. any options here sell or something to recover it other then jtag.

never mind was not bricked power button is getting stuck and sd flasher was not coming up
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
Very nicely put. ;) This brings to mind an old saying that I'm sure most of you have heard before. It goes something like this:

"Beggars can't be choosers."

In an era where so much of our lives are based on and around computers and instant information, I think people often forget that ultimately there are humans out there who are still having to do a lot of the behind the scenes work to make computers and machines work correctly. I am constantly amazed at the way people can show such a selfish attitude by demanding things "here and now" for free. Chances are pretty good that if you find something that is "free", someone or something had to give up something for it to be "free". MagLite's quality of work on these ROMS is amazing. Think about this....how many people who actually followed the directions correctly actually have had their device bricked by one of MagLite's ROMS? They work so well because he puts so much time and effort into making them good. So there's another little saying that I'm also reminded of here:

"You get what you pay for."

Seeing as how none of us are being charged for any of these ROMS, how can any decent person make demands of someone who is, in fact, doing us a favor? Now that quote is not to say that because we don't pay, we are getting sub-par work from MagLite. But what I am saying is that if you want the latest and greatest OS which is close to 100% bug-free right this minute, then you probably need to go out and buy it from a company whose job is to pay their numerous programmers and testers to make it 100% bug-free. I don't have any doubt that MagLite's WM6 ROM will eventually reach a close-to bug-free level, but none of us should ever demand (or even insinuate) that it be done within our own selfish time constraints.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ultraprimeomega:
ok i know that this rom still has bugs but i have to say that this rom is one of the most complete rom that has been ported and is like this on the second release. Thanks MagLite!!

Don't know if you care but you are another Dev that i will trust. Thanks.

This cab that i posted was made when wm6 was ported to the HTC Wizard i still keep old files just in case. It was for when you click the start menu you would hear the click, if it was already posted sorry but if not hope it helps people in some way. It works. Will look for other cabs that we used to get wm6 to be a complete rom, and to help out on getting this rom up high like other wm6 roms (hope that its better then other roms)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] wooikok:
agree with this above 100%...i thought my axim x50v would b doome with dell's upgrade wm5A01>>A02..but after MagLite and gang came to our rescue..the situation changed...now my axim is it's old self again..thanks to a bunch of heroes...so please be considerate..if they come out ith new versions...try them out and give feedback,..mind u they are not PAID and they have a LIFE of their own..they just do it out of interest like the rest of us...so thanks Maglite and gang..:)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pacino:
Hi,

Yes, I do know this and it is something I considered when I made my post.

I guess I had seen so much discussion of roms at Aximsite and people posting the were entitled to these by Dell and I just see some of this kind of attitude here also.

My post was not directed to a particular person, the post I included was just an example of some of the posts I have seen.

Maglite has gone to great lengths to make sure this is a quality rom for users here and it is rather difficult I am sure as there was no template from Dell to work from.

To all, and me included, just please show some patience and remember that kindness gets kindness back.

The HTC_Audio_Manager does work but it runs like when a app on wm2003se ran on true vga, small on the top left corner.

I may sound like I'm getting ahead too fast but just wanted to test app from other wm6 roms and see what works or not right now

i think the clock speed changer is stuck at max, bc my battery seems to drain relatively quick as if it were. maybe its just me. fyi i have ddwrt firmware on a linksys wrt54g rev 1 and wep does not work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Ownaginatious:
I'm not sure if this is actually a problem, but I have noticed that when I leave my x50v in the cradle charging (with the original WM6 A01 ROM), it just "wakes up" while charging. This is kind of annoying and drains the battery until the PDA just turns off from battery exhaustion. I remember this being a problem in WM5 A01 as well...

As I said, I'm not really sure if this is an actual problem with the ROM itself because I recently installed Vista x64, and perhaps this is just a problem with the OS itself.

On a side note, thank you Maglite for porting WM6 to the x50v. I was so certain my device had been left in the dust before I came upon this :p.
