Bluetooth DUN

OK Helloworld, I found another issue with bluetooth DUN on b135, I am not sure what the difference between b39 and b135 in bluetooth DUN, I just couldn't get data to flow.

Here's what happened, I could connect to GPRS via Bluetooth DUN no problem, internal IP assigned, but couldn't get external IP, and I can see constant outgoing data, but no incoming data...

I have no problem with internet access or push mail on the device itself.

I have tried to removed all settings then added back in one by one, same result.

I have tried to un-pair and re-pair bluetooth no problem.

My carrier doesn't use proxy etc, I had it working on b39, but I have no joy on b135 with the same settings.

Any idea?

thanks,

K

Try This...

I created BufferAddHeader.Bat but never tried it. It is just a shortcut instead of remembering & typing the commands.

Anyway I've not tried it because I switch camp from b135 to NHOCBANME 2.03.03a temporary but when I tried I hit the same problem.

From all your error screenshots it looks like these files are missing

1. EBOOT.nb0

2. ExtendedRom.img

3. nova_pda_033105.mot

4. vl1d_pda_Ver.mot

and

5. execute DSUU from C:\Windows\Temp folder (PCUpdate + ROM + missing files)

Hi Helloworld1,

is the base ROM of b137 and b142 same?

I try b137 and GPRS hard to connect. althought I install htc config, it need 10 times soft reset to succesfull connect.

How about b142, could the GPRS connect properly?

thanks.

Try 1GB SD card

Try a SD card of 1GB or less, people have reported problems using anything larger. I use a 1GB card in my 6828 with no problems. One other thing, make sure there is nothing else on the card - you should only have the diskimg.nb0 on there.

Hope this helps. - Oops, sorry, didn't see earlier post, good that your problem is fixed. :-)

After flashing not less than 10 times today come out with this conclusion for PC using BL1.0.1.

Flashing must be done from C:\Windows\Temp. So why not start everthing from this folder ie PCUpdate + ROM + missing file(s).

Hi,

I've always used SBSH PhoneWeaver that can automatically change background light based on profiles, so in the evening and in the night it makes a lower backlight (that could save more battery!). Now that I have your rom (but the 6.0 wm6 version) PhoneWeaver doesn't work anymore with backlight. Is there a way to make it compatible? Maybe there are some files from the original hp's rom that could be restored (the ones that control backlight).

I really hope it could be done because I was a beta tester of PhoneWeaver and the developer worked hard to make it compatible with rw6815!! I think it is a great function.

"no new confirmed bugs" does not mean all the old problems have been fixed.

Prolonging the battery life is not a easy job. I haven't had a clear idea how to do that. Also b142's battery life is improved a little.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] kusanagi:
Cool, I'll upgrade mine then, there is still a program I have yet to re-apply for reg. code, which changed randomly even after a hard reset (annoying).

Speaking of bugs... b135 bluetooth DUN didn't work for me, the Macbook managed to connect to the modem no problem, however there's no external IP address assigned, therefore there's only outgoing but no incoming traffics.

The exactly same bluetooth DUN setting worked on the b36, I have no idea why it isn't working now, has anything changed in bluetooth DUN since b36? I had to use HTC network configurator to get my gprs going after flashing to b135, possible something to do with this?

Any known troubles with restoring SPB Backup from b135 to b142?

BTW, this post has shot pass 1000 threads without even knowing!! from just a few threads to start with, that tells the popularity of Clean ROM. Well done.

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
I haven't tested the spb because I haven't backup before flashing and do a fresh installation afterwards. Testing the bluetooth DUN can not be done recently because I forgot to take the bluetooth adapt back from my univ.

Spb Mobile Shell 2.1

Anybody tried this & what's your comment?
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] kusanagi:
I'm using this atm, because spb plus is playing up for unknown reason.

SPB MS provides a simple interface with a couple of screen transition effects, it is more of an eye candy than function, it is getting more mature compared to when it was first released, and you can download lots of skins for it right from this forum somewhere, and they just look gorgeous.

I am a very picky person, so I found MS still has lots of inconsistencies throughout. But I don't mind using it as a simple touch screen interface.

Keep an eye out for Vito Winterface, this software is just released and I think it has potential.

Helloworld,

I just upgraded to b142, I've done an initial test with bluetooth DUN after clean boot, it worked!! So I proceed to restore from SPB Backup using ROM upgrade mode, everything seemed fine, and bluetooth DUN still worked!! In fact I'm typing this thread via bluetooth DUN. So in conclusion, bluetooth DUN in b135 may be broken.

I will continue to monitor this new ROM and post back later.

Hi,

SPB PP crowded? or did you mean bloated? with PP you can simplify the today plugin to just 1 or 2 tabs if you think it is crowded or selectively disable some of its features, but if you meant bloated, yes I think the same too.

I have been using PP since the first day I had my 6828, until I upgraded to 6.1 which caused some weird issues, so I had no better choice but to use SPB MS, I felt the same way too, not much to the functions except eye candy, but after using it for more than a month, I think I'm used to it now and I don't actually mind it.

I tried the trial version of Vito Winterface v1.0 before I flashed to b142, I actually quite like the simplicity of it, but the app has some bugs and it failed to remember my customised settings after soft-reset, so I'll wait for the bug fixed version. You can google it.

I actually don't like the "X" button to completely close my running programs, as I tend to switch between apps a lot, since I don't run PP anymore, I use a free program called Task Switcher by Fdcsoft, you can selectively to switch or close or close all running apps, it's a very tiny app you can install and assign to a hardware button.

Hope that helps.

Push mail problem

Hi Helloworld,

I found that the push email is not working, I can manually sync with the exchange server no problem.

When I set my sync schedule to "As item arrive", normally it will initialise the gprs connection right away, even if I manually close the gprs connection later, gprs will re-connect itself in a few seconds (invoke by activesync), this should be the normal case.

With b142 it will not re-connect (gprs connection hasn't dropped), usually the word "Connected" is displayed when activesync is keeping a heartbeat with the exchanged server.

But after awhile when the phone has gone into standby mode, activesync will lose it's heartbeat with the exchange server, and activesync will show "Synchronized: dd/mm/yy hr/min am/pm" so I will have to manually press the button to sync, then the heartbeat comes back and then the cycle begin again...

Any idea what is causing this? I have used Schap's advance config tool to enable every power saving, could this be the culprit?

edit: I will do some more test here, just want to make sure it is not carrier related.

One more thing... after using SPB Backup ROM upgrade restore, quite a few things are broken, especially those .lnk files sitting inside Windows folder, and SRS WOW 3D no longer worked too, but I will try re-install it later to see. The rest are OK though.

K
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
I configure the push mail through mail2web service. There is no problem at all. I see your problem. It is because the spb does not fully restore something. You should delete the server and reconfigure it.

The srs should work without problem. I have test it several times. You may need to do a soft reset after installation.

What'bout SPB PP this time?
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] kusanagi:
I'm using mail2web as well, the more I test, the result becomes inconsistent, one minute it worked and the next it didn't...errr

I tried to send myself emails, in a few tests, the emails came in after 5 seconds I clicked on the send button on my desktop computer, but in other tests, the sent emails will eventually come in, but can be as long as 15 minutes, I have checked my mail2web account, the emails were already there waiting long before they get pushed. hmm....

I haven't noticed this until recently, I can only remember on wm5 and b39, push mail was always instant (almost), but not 15minutes...

I will try to remove server and see what happen.

Oh... SRS failed to work only after restore, I believe it will work if I re-install it, it seems a lot of things SPB Backup ROM upgrade mode failed to restore.

But in general, the device is running pretty well even after a dodgy restore, I think the b142 is generally very good, it's just I am being too busy (lazy) to re-install everything from scratch.

SPB PP? I have not had a chance to test it yet, is it running OK on yours?

K
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
push mail arrives in 30-55 seconds in my test. But in b39 times, when I use it more frequently, I noticed that some mails never arrives before you manually sync it because of the network problem.

spb pp is always working fine(b92 is an exception) since my first pocket pc(2003).

If one day you feel froggy, you can reinstall all the app. I am interested in serialized automatic installation now and want to make a little program or script so that I can reinstall bunch of app at once.

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] kusanagi:
Ok, push mail seems fine, I think it was caused by the network congestion in my area or something, however I always thought that WM5 ROM push mail was more responsive, again could be a network issue.

I thought spb pp was really cool as it provides multiple tabs that contains all my programs for fast access, but to be honest, out of the 20-40 or so apps on my ppc, I hardly use them at all!!

So if I were to re-install everything again, it will be only a few that I need most, an have the others in .cab on storage card with serial stored in my spb wallet, so I can install them when I really need them. The features in PP I use most are Alt-Tab switch assigned to camera button (hold for camera), the file unzip and file properties.

Speaking of spb wallet, which is OK, I was using Crypto Card which is free, very good and light weight, unfortunately it refused to run on b39, therefore I had to spend $ on commercial app. Not sure has anyone tested this app on the latest ROM?

To me at the moment the only con of this latest ROM is the battery life with push mail on, battery drop 7% in about 1.5 hour on standby with zero usage, so will barely last me 12 hours on standby.

edit: about your potential script/app for bulk install, it's a good idea, but can you do this for just about any apps? as I believe the apps people use on this thread are quite different, it'll be nice to have something like apt install or rpm -install in the .nix world.

Push mail drains more power in the 6.1 ROM so I do not use that since then. But the MS's "What's New" says push mail uses less power in 6.1. Interesting.

I think cab works a little like rpm package. I ripped the cab file of every program I have installed and store them in the card. The most annoying thing of cab file is that you need to click where to install, which halt the batch process.

What I want to make is a program that will generate a batch file that install all selected cab file at once.

MS is very bull**** with said that push mail consumpt less power.

is it run under win XP or WM?
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] kusanagi:
emm... I dunno, for push mail to work, it needs to maintain a "heartbeat" with the exchange server, it's kind of like the "keep alive", i think when in a situation where the gprs signal is weak, the phone will increase power to the radio and hence the increase of power consumption... also the power management within the OS plays an important part too, and I think wm6.1 failed to do, or may be wm6.1 isn't optimised for the dated hardware of 6828? Just my guess.

Oh? can you guide me how to rip .cab files out of exe? I heard someone said that just rename .exe to .zip then extract with winzip?

I can vaguely remember coming across a thread talking about by changing the registry you can bypass the install location prompt, may be there is a way?
