jpg extension changed to 218459bc.menc

Hello all,

I recently upgraded my phone to vp3G 3.62.0 ROM Date 10.3.07 Radio v1.43.00.00 Protocol v 32.76.7020.19H on an HTC 8525 with AT&T as my Local US provider. My problem came when I was trying to view pictures that are stored on my memory card "512 Meg" most of my pictures 167 to be exact out of over 250 were changed to a file extension shown in the Title bar of <filename.jpg.218459bc.menc> picture viewer will not open the file and when I change the extension to not include the 218459bc.menc the icon changes to resemble a jpg file but the image will not load. I then moved them to my desktop thinking it might be an application issue, changed some files on local desktop tried to open them again and the same issue with three different viewers. Then I remembered that I had my flash card secured with the security option enabled, I went back and it had changed when I upgraded to the new version. I set it back on and nothing is different. Someone please help, I can even upload an image or two to see if anyone can assist. :eek:

thanks

Audio Manager issues...

Is anybody currently having issues with the Audio Manager? When initiating Launch Music Player, Audio Manager, "All Songs".....I pick a song and am taken to a white screen indicating "program memory low" No problem if I select "Artist" or "Album" etc. A previous thread suggested bit rate problems I believe.

A big "thanks" to vp3G for all his work on this latest ROM.

Sprite Backup 6.0.1

I am unable to perform a backup using sprite backup. I was able to do this using vp3G 3.62. Is anyone else using sprite backup with this rom, so would you please report if you are able to perform a backup? The error message I receive says, "back up stopped due to an unexpected error. If this continues please visit spritesoftware.com"

...but apart from this my phone is perfect now. Hence why I want to perform a backup. In case I install something later that screws things up. I can get back to a perfect base. "Thanks vp3G for the great ROM"

Solved the problem upgraded to Sprite version 6.1. No more error messages.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] aadadams:
I use Sprite v6.1 and I have not had any trouble backing up manually or using the scheduled backup feature. My advice is to hard reset and update your Sprite installation.

New build killing my battery....

This last build (3.62.3) is draining my battery quickly as well, even if I don't use the phone at all. I used to be able to let my phone sit for 2 days without charging if I happened not to get but one or 2 quick calls. With this last build, I can get NO calls, and my phone will be down to 50% within about 4-5 hours.

VP, any ideas why this is happening? Are you seeing this? Should I just clear memory and rebuild?

One other question: I tried to flash the ATT official build, but it does not run. It appears to see the phone, then quit, at least on Vista. I've been using Vista successfully to flash for the last few months now, so I don't think Vista is the issue. Do you think ATT wrote something in the build to detect Olipro??????

Thanks?

I know I must have done it with the last build, but have forgotten what I did.

After unpacking, it's not a cab, but an XML with a bunch of other files. Do I copy all of them to someplace (any place in particular) on my Hermes?

I've been using VP3G's "original" 3.62.0 build for quite a while. In looking at the "new" stuff added via the official AT&T ROM, I don't really see anything that particularly interests me.

So, can anyone recommend whether to upgrade? Any small bug fixes you've noticed that aren't mentioned? If I'm happy with 3.62.0 should I just stick with what I've got?

Also.. one of the biggest annoyances for me w/ WM6 is that in messaging, the left soft menu key was changed from "New" to "Delete", how antisocial is that? :) Anyone know of a "fix"/patch for this?

Hi,

Thanks for your great ROM. All is good but I have a little mistake. I can use push mail (receive and send), POP3, download weather data, but can't access web with Internet Explorer.

I have tested some ROM and any could synchronize time with my operator. HTC ROM can't too ! Yours can synchronize !

How do you perform this ?

Could you help me

Thanks in advance

Roaming

vp3G or anyone else,

Does either of you know what controls roaming on the AT&T branded 8525. I've only noticed my phone roam when I used to use Schap's 3.54c. I have 3.62.3 installed an really like it. Simply want it to roam when I'm traveling throught fringe areas. I'm only in that area maybe 10 min. but sometime I missed calls when going throught there.

Thanks,
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jws3:
I haven't checked to see what radio the "official" ATT ROM uses. I upgraded my radio about a month ago and stayed with it based on what vp3G personally uses.

rom not working right

i install vp3g 3.62.3 and the background is white but it is working. i see the task bar but in between the two is mainly all white. 3.62.0 work fine and and AT&T Final WM6 ROM (3.62.502.3) work fine too.

Please Help...installed vp3g ROM has crashed my device

Hello all. I would appreciate any help I can get.

About 2-3 weeks ago, I installed vp3g 3.62.

Everything had been working great...I configured it to read e-mail, speed dial, synched contacts with Exchange, nothing more as I just wanted to test it before I went all out.

Today, my phone, an ATT 8525, had its battery at 20% and got the low battery alert. I had gotten the alert in the past with this ROM...so i plugged it to start charging...when I went back to see if I could make a call..the phone just hung. I then proceeded to soft boot - by using the stylus and poking the little tiny hole to reset. The phone started up but then went into an endless reboot cycle. Now I cant make it get out of this cycle. It starts, the HTC screen comes up, then the green Microsoft Window, then it blanks out and reboots. The only way out is to take the battery out.

Can anyone provide any help?

I now have the official HTC rom from their website, but unless I am able to create a synch connection, it seems like its a bust...please...please help.

Thanks,

-Nic

Check your device for bad blocks with 'info 8' and fix them with 'task 2a' if you've got any (assuming you've got Hard-SPL installed).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
a) Try a hard reset.

b) Learn how to put your device in bootloader mode manually (you don't need an ActiveSync connection to flash).

c) Refrain from blaming my ROM for "crashing your device". :)

Hello,

I had the similar problem before with this endless reboot cycle issue. I removed the battery put the battery back and then I turned on the phone and every thing worked fine. Just try this before hard reset to see if this works for you.

First off, great release! I am having a problem though when I try to make a call there is a long pause after I hit "send". I don't hear the phone calling anyone, just silence. Any fixes or suggestions for this?

Testing now..

First, thanks for the quick response..you continue to impress me...Yeh the comm was hidden on the today screen (In HTCustom...)...I just unchecked the box and it reset fine...I don't know what that did but man that sure did make the rom run slow....I did not mess with the settings either....anyway...seems to work fine now..thanks!:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mcorrie1121:
When you first run HTCustom the option to disable them is automatically checked so if u dont uncheck it on the first reset it'll remove them without your doing.

But overall does seem faster
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Seems odd. What should the security model have to do with it?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Haighter:
Not a single twitch flashing the ROM and been running it all afternoon/evening with no problems. Fast and stable, but I expected no less!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mcorrie1121:
Ok, i got something thats not workin...the blue dot-tab button combo to get to the symbol pad doesnt work; it does nothing.

If you do blue dot-space, it comes up. Which is all fine, but normally that combo is a short cut for symbols.

For example, if you put an apostrophe in, then hold the blue dot and press space, it cycles thru a few symbols (3rd one is quote marks).

I know this works in other ROMs, including 3.61.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Both key combinations are working fine for me (in Notes, anyway). Dot-space sounds like it's working properly on yours, but why isn't dot-tab.... :confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] leoiden:
good evening bro vpg3

would you consider changing the look of your roms when you update to new build ?

in my opinion makes it feel like a total new rom built?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Not sure what you mean.

I treat each new ROM as a refinement of the last and I think it's about as good as it's going to get for Hermes.

If totally different is what you seek you're not going to get it with me, but there's always plenty of other ROMs to choose from.

:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mcorrie1121:
This is all in text messaging, if that changes anything.

Right now dot-space is NOT doing its function, its doing dot-tab's function, and therefore will not do its correct one.

I just checked, and it does the same thing in notes.

Ill try reflashing and see if it fixes itself.

EDIT: Ok after a fresh flash all works fine. So i will just have to reinstall everything one at a time and see if i cant find the culprit.

vp3G's WM6 AT&T ROM v3.62----

vp3G,

Would it be possible for you to include the "setacousticparam" in this new 3.62.... It's does seem to work fairly well..... and makes the phone a little more appealing......

I was wondering, if it's no longer being used or used differently so that it is not really effective???? I seem to recall there were older WM5 roms that had better volume in them....... possible due to it being included there....

Anyway, I have been using your 3.61 with it included.... I have noticed some strange behavior, but not sure if it's due to the setacousticparam or an update to radio 1.54.07.00..... the rom has always seem to load slowly.... but even more so after upgrading the radio...... any ideas??????

I have reflased the rom & radio, with marginally better results.....

Thanks, and keep up the fantastice work,

vpu2....OUT!!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MaRaHoX:

Skype not working now

Hey vp3G,

I know it's not the ROM itself, I like the ROM, but not ten minutes before flashing your ROM, I was using Skype. I was on a call with Skype to my girl in another country. After the flash, I can't seem to get Skype conect. Before the flash, I could get 3G and H in my house, now, I have to go a block away to get 3G and H. I have checked the settings for the the connection, I have AT&T as my ISP :( and it seems fine. I get 3g & H, just not in the house. Internet is fast as ever. I have 1.54.07.00 as my Radio. I went back down to see if it would work and tried various older versions. Nothing. Skype can't connect now. Any ideas? It really is the cheapest way for me to call and talk abroad. Anything would help.

Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] asfoor:
Can you connect to the Internet... access a web page like Yahoo.com? If you can , then click on Start (while you are still connected to the Internet), click Skype and see if it connects. I was told by AT&T tech person that there are signal loss incidents and ATT is working on their repair. They were delayed till Monday b4 it is fixed. This affected Southern California areas like San Diego and parts of Los Angeles

htc wm6 new release

vp3g,

did HTC buy your work or just copied it? I got an IM message that sends me the link to their website and sure enough...it says 3.62 and very similar to your version number. Don't know what that means, does anyone know?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] papichulothrawn:
I did that :)

I tried that. I connected to the internet, went to yahoo.com. I then tried skype, but it just stalls. I will keep trying until after Monday, and report back.

Thanks for the suggestion.

On a side note, the reason I put this on vp3g's post is that before I flashed, I seemed to get a 3G connection at ease, and now I don't. Again, I don't think the ROM should be the cause, I just find it strange that it happened and was hoping he, with his expertise, could point out something I'm overlooking.

I'll report back Monday and see if AT&T gets their act together, if that's the problem. :)

Maybe a dup question.. Sorry in advanced.

I have a Hermes TyTN with both cameras..

Many sales reps are saying the new BlackJack will support Cingular's "Video Call" Feature. Is this something that can be made into a program to install for other Hermes ???

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] papichulothrawn:
I was using SkypeForPocketPC-2.2.0.18 as after reading the forums, this is the version that semed to work for everyone. And it did work. As I said, I was using it before. However, I also tries using versions from 2.1 that I found, with the same results. The issue is not the version of Skype.

(On a related note, I was perusing the forums on the Skype page and it seems on Nov. 8th, the latest version of Skype is out, 2.2.0.37, which supposedly addresses all the bugs. I haven't been able to get 3G or H to try it, though)

Here is what I think the issue is. Some setting is defaulting me to connect at E, whereas before I put on the vp3G Rom, I was default connecting to H, then 3G. Does that make sense? Is there a reg setting that will force the faster connection? I think the default AT&T setting (which is the base of the vp3G Rom) is not necesarily the fastest connection.

Thanks!

I think VP3G has to interfere in answering this one. I faced the same issue after I upgraded to VP's latest. I re flashed to Schaps and same issue as well. I am noticing though lately it switches to 3g / H / faster than earlier. It might be a radio compatibility issue. I am going to downgrade radio to see if the problem subsides.
