Sure it does!

These two things make me think you may have a lose cable in your device. I always use the slide out keyboard for my SMS messages and browsing so if it didn't work, I'd know about it. Same with the other buttons.

Device Update enhancement

Hi CRC,

Any chance of an enhancement to Device Update so that, optionally, a user can register with the server? One of the things I dread about flashing a new ROM is reinstalling all my apps. That is why most are on my SD card.

My thinking was that if I could register with Device Update, I could automagically receive all my updates when I connect after flashing my ROM:D!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
This is already on my to do list - however it will be quite a while before it actually happens. We won't be using a username/password - but more a unique identifier for each mobile phone. This means it can be done on the initial run of Device Update without any user input. Part of this code is in place already, but it will be a long time until I get to finish it due to other things being a priority.

DirectDraw?

Hi

I am running 13.0 and I cannot get any DirectDraw programs working.

When calling SetCooperativeLevel(window, ....) on a DirectDraw object it simply returns "not implemented" 0x80004001. I also tried a ddraw demo and that too did not startup.

Is this a known issue?

Is there a fix?

Thanks

Device Update, update

My Device Update updated itself to the latest version the other night. Since then, I've noticed that an update and a new application that I installed are still showing as available for install.

On previous versions they disappeared once I'd installed them.:confused:

BTW, are you affected by the bushfires at all:eek:????
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Use Device Update to install a comm manager. By default, the naked builds do not include a comm manager.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Which apps? They should still disappear when installed.

The bushfires are about 20km north of me - thankfully they didn't get too close for me to have to worry. I do feel sorry however for the 500+ families that are homeless today as a result of the fires. Sadly, the death toll is currently approaching 200 people as well :(

In other ROMs I've had the ability to beam or sms a business card from the MS contacts. I don't seem to have the ability in version 13.3 rom. I've searched for a cab but have come up with no results.

Slow hardware buttons with 13.3 naked

All,

I've searched but could not find an answer to this problem I'm having. I've loaded v13.3 naked, and navigating with the D-Pad is very fast until I start to load applications with device update. I can load all of the system utilities without any slowdown, but as soon as I start to load apps from the other categories, D-Pad navigation REALLY slows down. There is almost a 1/2 second delay from when I push the hardware D-Pad to when the item scrolls to the next. Uninstalling the apps afterward does NOT fix the issue. I've loaded MemMaid and set it to max performance settings, and the scroll speed is still the same. The applications don't load slowly, it's just the scrolling.

Any thoughts???

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
That is correct - hence it is the naked version...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Uh oh! :)

Well, to summarise, you can ping the pocket PC when connected via wifi - so its not going to be a driver issue or anything like that. And you're saying that Device Update works over wireless? If so, that again rules out a problem with the wifi link.

Check to see if you have a proxy set in the connection settings - if so remove. If I'm right with the above, it's just a configuration thing - not a driver issue etc...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
1) Go to start > settings > connections > Connections > Advanced > Select networks.

What do you have the first drop down box set to?

2) Try the cab called HTC_Hermes_WiFi_drivers.cab.

3) Does this same problem happen on OEM roms?

4) start > settings > connection > wifi > advanced > "This network connects to" : set it to "The Internet".

I would also suggest updating your radio rom sometime, it is a bit old and you should get better signal ect with a newer one, the radio rom has nothing to-do with wifi though.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pjeedai:
update

thanks for the suggestions. will try them tomorrow morning.

just to clarify the DU only works on 3g - no internet connected progams can connect on wifi - it connects to router, assigns IP 192.169.1.110 DNS set manually and... no internet sites or internet connections.

like i said it seems like a DNS issue or possibly MAC address .. but router is reporting PPC as connected and listed as an available MAC client, the PPC is reporting good signal strength and connection in the wifi connection advanced settings.

but no websites, no connections to the interwebs

bee zah

as usual with anything TCP IP i am sure its something simple and frustratingly labelled to be the opposite to what you would expect but this phone was connected to same network on WinMo6.0 from O2, and again (but with terrible battery life) on 6.1 however on this ROM it "sees" the network, "talks" to the network but won't connect on 80 or 443 or 25 over the network to the internet on wifi.

hey ho it'll be a project for a while, will have a look at that Cab tomorrow and see what happens. thanx
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Hmmm - Have you set the default gateway on the phone?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
I think the driver was discovered by someone having issues with mac address filtering or something, so it might help.

Device update broken

I'm having the same problem. Just flashed the naked.bs ROM and, after installing the required update, can't use DU. HELP! Please?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pjeedai:
Wireless access to the Internet restored

Hi all

quick update for you.

Double checked Wifi connectivity to the router - used router IP and got the netgear admin log in on both pocket IE and Opera. Double checked my MAC filtering and DNS settings whilst using the Hermes. So Wifi works and PPC has matching DNS entries. But no internet.

Installed HTC Hermes Wifi cabs, soft reset. still no joy

cleared existing connection - deleted settings from Available networks.

Soft reset

on reboot start wireless and get network detected message.

ignore the unsecured BT wireless neighbours and go straight for my network.

use std Windows network set up to select network, encryption (WPA TSK) and input manual key.

Use Wifi in Settings to set static IP to the one provisioned on router, set DNS to router DNS, save settings.

Wifi connects

Fire up Pocket IE - use handy link to XDA forum cooked into IE favourites (nice touch) and the site loads. I HAVE teh internets!!

check with Twitter client, email and Opera.

Yep all connected apps now can access over wifi

Now the IP and DNS settings were identical. But the fact i could get the router admin and ping other machines meant the wifi was working. ordinarily i would tell anyone recheck DNS. But i had already. several times.

so i follow the counter intuitive plan of updating drivers. Nope same problem. Possibly faster connection to router admin or possibly just caching or me wanting something to have changed!

but then deleting settings and using the "detected network" notification and following that... same IP address and DNS. this time it works.

so it would point to a snafu with DNS registering or some corruption of the information - networking was correct but internet access using wrong or corrupt DNS.

It doesnt seem to help with the new problem raised by Donny but as my issue was resolved on the original CRC Rom i flashed i suspect it isnt a versions issue but rather an underlying issue with Windows networking on this device (and some others reading Google on this subject).

so after much worrying and teeth gnashing the resolution was little more than turn it off turn it back on again.

I think having fresh drivers and deleting the somehow incorrect network settings and replacing them with a new network connection (using Windows network wizard not manually(with the exact same settings mind)) has done the job. Why this worked and previously didnt work however is beyond me.

thank you people for your help, i have read a lot of the forums and there is lots of useful information here but you DO have to be prepared to dig a little. handset is now stable and better battery life. So i fully plan to knacker this by installing every recommended Cab and playing with the settings to full break it again. once i know what works i will flash a ROM and install only the apps i know i like, will use and play nice together.

battery issues

to all those with battery issues, I have been playing around and found that:

black satin + radio 1.47 = good battery life

this rom + radio 1.47 = terrible battery life

this rom + radio 1.56 = good battery life

so if you're having trouble, try updating the radio to 1.56.70.11
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] arcy:
just a curiousity

quick question, I've used CRC before (old version 12.1) and it was able to automatically find my email settings. With 13.3, I have to manually enter them because it cannot find the settings. Is there anything I can do to have them automatic again? I use 3 email accounts and manually inputting the settings is tedious and time consuming. I flash my ROM quite frequently and this is the first time it's happened :confused:

Time issue

I have a problem with synchronizing my Hermes. I synchronize between two computers - one at work and one at home - both XP Professional. As soon as I synchronize with the second computer - at home normally - it sets the time on my phone back by one hour and completely messes up the appointment times in my calendar.

Activesync 86000107 error

Hi CRCinAU,

According to various websites a fix for this issue (can't find the kb number) is in AKU1.2 that has been released to OEMs. Please excuse my ignorance, but is your kitchen using AKU1.2 yet:confused:? I'm finding this frustrating as using iContact to make changes on my device (even accidentally) breaks activesync as my PC and device think every contact is updated (breaks the 100 change limit).

Also, I can't sync with home and office as, again, the second sync partner thinks everything is updated, which breaks the 100 limit.

Cheers

The settings for what? Not sure what you mean here.

I have to agree with this post. I was running radio version 1.54 (default for my phone when purchased), with CRC's awesome ROM (normal version). I upgraded to 1.56 on the radio and in the few days that I've had it running, I have noticed considerable improvement in my battery life.

So if you're having battery issues, try upgrading to the latest radio.

now that one thing is cleared i'm looking for a soloution for another problem.

i want to remove or at last disable x-button completely. to save memory and remove the "x"

i use another task manager and now i have 2 "x" :)

i found this in the forums:

EDIT:

To avoid misunderstanding I'll describe steps:

1. Delete registry value: "Open registry editor and remove X-Button daemon "taskserStart.exe" - go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Init and find value "LaunchXX" with data "taskserStart.exe" and delete it!"

is this a safe soloution?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jws3:
Same recommendation. I flash Vp3G, which is essentially the AT&T 6.0 ROM, before flashing any new ROM. This baselines my device and prevents problems.

A second recommendation is not to use CAB fixes from earlier ROM versions or other ROM cooks unless you really know what they do to the registry.

Just setup my V11.0 today and everything looks OK.
