Help! - Can't sync

After installing this ROM I can't sync with Windows Mobile Device Center (Vista)!

When I connect the 8525 everything seems fine. Than I set up a parnership and the "syncing" symbol just keeps spinning and spinning and spinning...

Any thoughts???

On a side note - the rom is awsome

Possible fix to WMDC sync problem

You can try changing the sync contents in WMDC. First deselect everything, and then add one program and sync. Add another program and sync again. Repeat this until you find the culprit. This will let you know which program (or its data) is causing the sync problem, because it isn't the ROM. Whatever program ends up being the culprit, you can probably fix the issue with modification of settings in WMDC or in the program itself. I found this to be true of Microsoft Outlook and syncing my calendar. I reduced the old data to sync and it started working again.

You can also enable WMDC.log to see where it is hanging on sync.

Hope this helps.

Some issues with the 3.62

Hello,

I was a happy camper with my 3.61

initially i was happy w/ 3.60

But as you know i like to have new things and new roms..

I enjoyed my 3.61 with all its features.

But then i saw 3.62 i hesitated b/c it wasn't that much different.

So i opted to update my g/f phone to 3.62 --- suffice to say i was impressed.

Make the long story short, i too updated to 3.62 <--- now there is the problem.

The programs that i had w/ 3.61 running smoothly, are giving me some problems w/ 3.62

Now i haven't installed any new programs but the load time has increased, and also it freezes a lot. So i know there are some internal software conflicts and i don't know where they are.

I'm guessing one would be with the HTC home app. and the other apps that are active on today screen.

Anyone else w/ similar results.

at the moment i'm going to play w/ this a bit more but will be going back to the 3.61 when i have some free time or if the problem gets worse.

It works!

It works! I don't know what was wrong or how I fixed it, but I'm very happy to have the ROM! Thanks for the help and suggestions
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] whozethere:
Yep, started having dropped calls and freezing programs just like I did on WM5. Decided when I elected to add an antiviral program that an important file may have potentially be quarantined. I elected to reinstall this version and see how it goes. I am having a lot of trouble talking with my aunt who just left MI and went to FL for the winter. She has Verizon. Suddenly it is like being on a walkie-talkie and then the phone freezes. I reinstalled the radio version as well. No problems talking to other people so far.

vp3G, I Found the Comm mgr taskbar issue!!!!

It appears that it is some sort of incompatibility with htc task manager 2. I flashed the official att release (to see if it drained my battery), and had removed the comm mgr from display in the task bar. I had rebooted several times without issue. I installed htc task manager 2.0, and on the subsequent reboot, crash, bang, sloooooooow boot! So, there's the issue, apparently. Hope this helps!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nostabo:
I guess it really depends, vp3G's ROM has the least compatibility problems with my bluetooth devices...among a few other issues. Schap's is good but I have problems with my Plantronics 610 headset (the Cardo 600 works fine) when using it. My 8525 regularly hangs, or runs like a pig with any OS higher than 5.2.1622.

It may not be tweaked to the bone, but my phone works...and it isn't purple...I hate purple!

...thanks vp3G.

That said, will there be any more releases for my Hermes?

Something in the tip jar.... Thank you.

VP3G.... I just left you something in the TIP JAR.... Thanks for your great work... I would hate for you to leave us here alone...

Like many ROM junkies here, I came to my original conclussion... Your ROMs are the best on this forum and I am sticking with them. With due respect to Schaps and others, their Roms are not as stable as yours.

1. I added Imagenet keyboard support.

2. kaiser Comm Mgr.

3. 1-Calc full version.

4. Resco recorder and Radio

5. iGO Nav Program

6. Skype 2.2 ( The Latest )

7. Few TSK files for splash

8. MS LiveSearch

All is running without a glitch... I do appreciate your continued attentiveness and support to everyone on this thread.

Thanks again and God Bless.

What are your settings?

Hey Asfoor,

So your skype is working for you? Thanks for the previous attempts to help me. How about this. What are your connection settings? (i.e. are you using ISP or WAP? Which Network type and Band are you using, etc...) We're both in California, we're both using the same rom version, we're both using the same skype version. Maybe if I use your connection settings, I will be as happy as you seem to be :) I just want to be able to use skype again.

Thanks!

and vp3G, any ideas for the problem I'm having?

Thanks!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bjevers:
Good find! Working here too. BTW, I don't use HTC Task Manager anyway. WkTask is what I use and recommend.

vp3G - Just wanted to chime in too and say your ROM's are always the most stable for me. I have all kinds of stuff installed on this latest one and I don't have any problems.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] singhnx:
vp3G ... you've got a better handle on your emotions than I do on mine.

I would disagree with wizurd's opinion of your ROM. I've enjoyed your work for a long time and am pleased that you have given not only your rom to the users of this forum, but also your regimented approach towards fixing issues/bugs with your releases.

Thank you for sharing your work.

i'm hooked

I've been a long time lurker on these forums, but this will be my first post. I just wanted to thank vp3g for this most stable rom. I've tried the other roms (which have some positives in their own right), but I always come back to vp3G's roms. This latest revision is very stable and my apps just work without any problems.

I certainly hope this isn't the last rom you'll have for the 8525. I don't plan to upgrade to a new phone for a long while, so I hope you keep the roms coming! You'll be seeing a tip from me soon!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] noellenchris:
Ok Wizurd.....which rom are you using? Or are you just trying to irritate people. If your going to add your opinion please explain why or give some constructive criticism. Otherwise don't leave insulting comments on this board. If you read through all of VP's post's, you will have noticed your the only one with a negative opinion. If you have some suggestions please post them and enlighten us with your wisdom of how great your rom is. Thanks. I've loaded this rom 2 times in the last week and I've carefully added all my must have software since I plan to settle in with this rom. It's stable, clean and overall in my opinion the best rom for most. Thanks again and please keep up the excellent work vp3g.

Question about speed

Let me start off by saying thanks to everyone who contributes here. That amount of knowledge here is amazing. I hope to learn enough to start contributing as well.

I have an 8525 running vp3g 3.62.3 with Radio 1.54.07.00.

I have been on here for weeks reading and searching and learnig.

My question is: What can I do to improve the speed/responsiveness of my device? I have seen mentions of mem maid, but i am not sure what it does. I also test a lot of apps on this phone adding and removing some everyday. I am currently running ftouchflo with slither's cube, and it is very cool. i just wish it were quicker to respond.

Other apps I run are:

PocketCM

TCMP

HTC Camera Album - which is also a little slow

Mobi TV

FlashMobile

FlashLite

Thanks,,

Start/ Settings/Connections/Select Network/From both drop down lines, select Media Net, then click OK and exit.

Go to the Internet, Type www.yahoo.com in the address bar, Click on Start then Today, then Skype. It will ask you to either connect via WiFi only or wifi and 3G, select the choice with both connections. It will take few seconds, to load completely, it will also update your contact list. Make the Echo call and if you notice lots of echo, go then to settings and check the echo elimination prompt. and start skype again.

I am using your latest ROM on my ATT 8525. I have tried streaming music using plantronics M2500 Bluetooth headset and my phone works fine for phone calls but does not work for music. The same headset worked fine with my friends phone which is TMobile DASH with WM6.

I checked all over the forums and tried all the A2DP fix cab's and settings but with no luck. I reflashed the rom to get back the original settings that are provided with this ROM.

I am planning to buy Tritton bluestream, plantronics 620 or motorola s705 and I am not sure if it will work I don't want to spend >$60.00 before make sure it works.

No Cingular Video on 3.62

VP3G - This ROM is working great, except even after installing your add-on for Cingular Video, in which I DO now have the icon and CAN get to the CV web-site w/ no problem - nothing happens after I try to click on one of their links.

It appears to download a *.RAM file (realaudio) file into the My Docs folder, but there appears to be no player on the ROM that can open it. I tried associating it with "Streaming Media" and then open the RAM file, but it still won't work. What am I missing?

Thanks much.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
CV is working fine for me at the moment, although it's been known to have problems at times. It should be launching RealPlayer, so if it's not something must have horsed up your associations. Assuming you installed CV v2 from my Add-Ons RAR r2 and have the proxy enabled, I know of no reason it shouldn't work.

Might have bricked my 8525

I tried to update my phone with this rom and when I did it autodected the SPL and chose the safeSPL method. It started the update, got to 1% and then gave me an error. I followed the recovery method suggested by the rom updater, but when the phone rebooted it went to a blank white screen at the time it would normally load the OS.

I've tried reflashing, but the same thing happens each time. Any suggestions?

I had the vpg 3.0 rom on it before trying this new one. I've tried reflashing that one and it won't work either.

Update: The AT&T wm6 release rom flashed to it fine. I'll just stick with that since I'm selling it in a few days.

VP3G, I'm still so perfectly happy with your previous version of this ROM (v3.00) that I almost don't have any real reason to make the switch. I'll probably get to it sometime after Thanksgiving though.

I do have a question related to the previous ROM that I thought maybe you or anyone else could answer for me. I see that it was indicated on the v3.00 thread that the ROM has 4GB SDHC support. Was 4GB only mentioned because that's what was out and available at the time or can it really support higher capacities such as 6GB or maybe even 8GB? I'm looking to move up soon and wanted to make sure I stayed compatible.

Thanks.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Should support any SDHC card, although I don't recall if anyone has confirmed it yet. 4GB was just the largest available at the time.

I used to get 3G or H at will, now it's only edge, unless I drive to a stronger zone. I have no idea why that would happen with just a ROM flash. The skype issues resolve themselves when I'm in the stronger signal zones. I just don't know why before the flash I could get the necessary signal from my house, and now I can't....

vp3g 3.62 hick up

OK!...

I've been a big fan of vp3g ROM's. I started w/ the 3.0 --> 3.6 --> 3.61 --> 3.62

3.6 was a bit slow so i quickly switched to 3.61 <--- liked it it was like having the functionality of 3.0 but better. But then i said 3.62 has got to be better, so i installed that on my wife's phone and kinda liked it. So i said what the heck, i'll update.

3.62 was a pain, initially it worked fine, but then it was giving me problems. I think the today programs really put a lag on it.

my wife's phone doesn't have too many programs on the today screen except for the ones that come with the ROM, and no problems. (she's not too technically inclined) but me, i like to install, and uninstall and on and on and on...

Currently i've upgraded my ROM to Schaps 4.01 see how that handles,..

vp3g can you help me figure out why the ROM became unstable after 2 weeks of usage?

Otherwise the 3.61 was really great, i think i might make it a keeper,... but in the mean time it's ROM hunting again..

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] asfoor:
depending on demographics, Radio version has a direct effect on signal strength. I was in Boston last week and I had horrible signal strength, could not get out of EDGE... Then I went to San Fran and was always on H. I would recommend for you to downgrade Radio to 1.48 or 1.50 and see if that makes a difference. You will also notice that the battery lasting longer if the signal is stable. Continuous jumping from E to 3G to H etc.. I think causes the device to keep active thus the battery drain.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] asfoor:
VP3G.. I know that AudioManager sometimes becomes a memory hog but only when I inadvertently create multi library list of my music on my main memory. In Win Media Player, it is very easy to make an error by creating duplicate Music Library files for the same songs , and that is not a ROM issue, it is however Windows PPC issue.

A possible fix is to delete the Music Libraries from the main mem and keep only one, however, when you need to be selective, access the music through the SD card, preserving more main memory. My 2 cents...
