Still having small issues with CRC 13.0

I'm using the Normal ROM, and for some reason, the WM6 default calendar app won't save settings, and won't set appointments. If I activesync, it'll pick up appointments from Outlook, but I can't add them through the app on the phone.

Any fix/troubleshooting advice? Thanks!

Battery Life-Bluetooth Settings

I think that I found a radio that provides a good balance between power and battery consumption (see signature below). I have traded a little power (3 bars vs. 4 bars at home) with better battery life (30% lost in 24 hours with email checking every 30 minutes).

Still not really happy with bluetooth reception. My setting are (advanced configuration):

OBEX: Disabled

Use joint stereo: No

Bitpool: 58

Max supported Bitpool: 80

Min supported Bitpool: 0

Sample rate: Default

Audio gateway service: Disabled

Audio gateway power save: Disabled

As you can see, I'm killing time while waiting for the next great CRC release (13.1 or 14.0).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
Turn the Joint stereo on, and the sample rate to something higher, should help.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jws3:
veyka,

Thanks; I'll give it a try. Was never quite sure about Joint stereo. I have seen recommendations both ways. I had been using a sample rate of 48000 Hz, but shifted to Default to see if the phone would pick the best.

BTW, I'm using your recommended power settings. Right now the performance looks very good.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
Higher the sample rate = better quality = higher CPU load = can lead to clipping and skipping, just experiment till you find the sweet point!

And im glad they helped :) They are what I use, and find it goes really fast for me!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jws3:
veyka,

Found this link: http://forum.brighthand.com/showthread.php?t=242335

Going to spend some time digesting the information. Interesting recommendation to delete the bitpool ad maxsupportedbitpool registry entries.

Also good comment about the BT stack being from a WM6 ROM or an older WM5 ROM.

I'm new to the phone. I've only had it a week. I read the ROM guide, flashed hard-spl, then tried the ROMs. I never updated my radio. I am using an AT&T 8525. Now with the Official ROM. :mad: The radio version reports as 1.54.07.00. Can the radio be updated seerate from the phone? Or will the new ROM include a new radio?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] quarlow:
I'll give it a try

I followed the link to the radio in your signature. I will reflash the 6.1 ROM and see how that works for me.

YAY!!!

zocster-

Thanks, it works great now, with the new radio. I was hesitant at first to mess with the radio after reading some of the threads, but no problems, and now I can have the ROM I want and surf the internet too. They say you can't have the cake and eat it too. I can now! :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
Great to hear :) don't forget to donate if you like it :) to CRC i mean :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
I honestly wish people did donate. While I'm not doing this to gain anything personally, there are many tools that would make my job much, much easier that I would be able to purchase.

On my "to buy" list is currently:

A second HTC Hermes for testing. This allows me to actually use my device as a phone and keep it working so work can contact me. (~$400AU)

License for WinCE Cab Manager (~$99US)

Bluetooth headset or stereo to test A2DP & BT Handsfree profiles ($??)

probably more.

Now the really interesting part is when you start playing with numbers. At the moment, I have received $51.93AU in donations which sits in it's own paypal account waiting for enough funds for a purchase.

Lets compare this with downloads. To make the figures easier to work with, we'll call each ROM 37Mb. We'll also only count 1 of the 3 mirrors available for download:

* Jan 2008 - 544 downloads, 20.1Gb

* Feb 2008 - 15969 downloads, 558.9Gb

* Mar 2008 - 4552 downloads, 159.3Gb

* Apr 2008 - 7333 downloads, 256.6Gb

* May 2008 - 5336 downloads, 186.8Gb

Now remember, as this is only 1 of 3 mirror sites, at a safe bet, I'd say double these figures. So as a summary, even at 1 cent per download, I would have easily purchased all of the tools I need. So far, I've received $51.93 - not even enough to pay for the bandwidth used ;)

Now while I'm not saying everyone must donate - as I know it is not possible for some people, it would certainly make my life easier having the correct tools. I'm not holding my breath though ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jws3:
I can't believe that your fans show so little support for your effort. Let's get behind CRC and provide the financial incentives that his work deserves. I made my donation last week and thought that CRC would have his development device by now.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] oxydiom:
Thanks... Got it ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] quarlow:
I appreciate your ROM

I donated through Paypal, I am in america, I don't know how the converson works. It's for $15, but I don't know if that is AUD or USD.

I picked up my Hermes on eBay for $200 USD. It's an AT&T 8525. I know you said you have the TyTN keyboard layout, but if it's only for development try the AT&T version. It doesn't have a front facing camera, but other that that the keyboard is the only change. You ROM loaded beautifully on it.

Thanks again!

I don't have battery icon in title bar

Hi,

Just downloaded 9.2 and can not see battery icon with percentages in title bar. What can be causing it?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
It should be down the bottom? A green vertical thing? at least that's what I got on my jasjam?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] artisticcheese:
No, I meant status information about how much battery is left on top in title bar, showing in number in percents how much is left.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] artisticcheese:
It works now, it just shows only on today screen not while any other program is launched. How do I get rid of that bar on bottom which shows battery status?

Dropped the sample rate back to 44100 Hz. Much better reception. Next step will be to delete the MaxSupportedBitPool and BitPool registry entries to see if they are in fact "public enemy number one."

Normal vs Naked

I am liking crc normal. I'm wondering if I'd gain a little more program memory by using Naked?

Here's my question:

Will Naked be stripped of anything Normal has, that I can't download with Device Update?

Mobile Office

Can anyone say they had good luck (or bad luck) with installing Office 2007 via the cab file onto your storage card.

I'm thinking if I get more program memory, my device will be faster...

The programs I use are:

Pocket Informant 8

Pocket Plus

Flexmail 4

Voice Command 1.6

...all which have to be installed on the device, not a storage card. I just wanting to speed things up a bit...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
this bit is the connection wizard as i have not tried naked, it is available on DU if you install it through active sync/wifi

not sure about his cab, but abusalza's cab works real well on storage card.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
Things will slow down if you install to the SD card :) As in operation its slower than the ROM.

Activesync Connection

I've had this issue with previous CRC roms, and have always used Schap's Advanced Configuration to solve it. I want my Activesync to stay "Connected" at all times (24/7). In previous versions of CRC's roms i've done this by going to both my connections listed in Advanced Config and toggled the setting to "Always On". I did that in this rom but the connection always drops eventually. Oh, I'm using Activesync through the cell phone service, NOT wifi. Any ideas??
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
i have always used it and it turns on automatically upon a soft reset with schaps advance config, i am pushing with exchange 2k7 server. Also if you use oxios it kills the active sync connection if you 'free up ram' as it closes all those programs running in background, i set my active sync to sync items as they arrive.

DU stuff
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] charlie71:
Thanks much! I will try Naked CRC tonight. I was just afraid that 'stripped down' meant it wouldn't have the needed stuff for my pda/phone to function properly. One day with crc normal has proved to be considerably faster. I just am afraid I won't be able to get along without Pocket Plus, though. cLaunch doesn't let me use the D-pad for navigating around and picking the icon/app I want to open like Pocket Plus does...

mms question

I can't find anything in the wiki to answer my question. I am trying out crcNaked on my USA AT&T 8525 phone. I send text messages occasionally, but never mms. Do I need to install this Arcsoft MMS v5 or v4 from the Device Update then? If so, which version. (Or, is this driver thing not very big where it would take away much from my performance?)

thanks,

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
V5 is a joint mms, and the only way you send is to send through the file you want to send and go from there, your MMS and SMS will be in one inbox, however if you want to have a seperate inbox for MMS i suggest going to the V4 ... cheers

Problems flashing crc 13

Hello. I am trying to upgrade my Hermes (8525) from crc 11.2 (which has been running fine), to crc 13 and i'm experiencing some problems. I tried from both computer and sd card. From the computer it errors and says that it's not connected via USB although it is, and activesync is up and running fine. When I open the RUUWrapper, click next, and select Auto Detect, a message comes up saying "This is 1.11 retail, you are recommended to use SSPL, would you like to?". I push Yes, and then Force using Safe SSPL is selected. Then I click next a few times, then update, etc, the phone looks as though it goes into bootloader goes to tri-color for a second, then gets hung up on the grey screen and says ''Loading...''. It stays there (and on 0%) for about 30 - 45 seconds then says the RUU cannot connect to your PDA phone and the phone remains on the same screen. A soft reset is required to get it back into windows.

Trying the other method...

When I put the nbh file in the root of my 2 gb sd card and name it HERMIMG.nhb, go into bootloader, it still doesnt do anything. It hangs on the tri-color screen and says serial on the bottom. Again a soft reset is needed to get back into windows.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
ok get it to the boot loader mode, press ok on left and power on on right and stick stylus in.

How are the timezones for Australia on this version?

This may be a Windows Mobile specific question rather than this ROM, but it doesn't hurt to ask!

Since Sunday, the time zone information in regard to daylight savings seems to be screwed up. I think the new daylight savings info for eastern Australia is still the old values. Any idea how I can fix that up, so my clock isn't an hour behind!

Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Check to make sure you have the timezone etc updating from the network in Start -> Settings -> Phone -> Timezone, then power off your phone, power on again and wait. The clock will automatically sync from the network.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Pieter Pretorius:
The problem is that my phone always defaults to Vladivostok and not Sydney when I tick this option for some reason and now - if I untick this option - as soon as it synchronizes, it sets the clock one hour back from EDST so that the time between my computer and phone differ by one hour.

When I change the setting from Vladivostok back to Sydney and leave the tick in place under Timezone, it also changes the time back one hour.

This of course has changed all my calender times by one hour as well.
