With all the hub-bub about CTIA, we let this one slip under our radar: Verizon and Palm let loose the WM6 update for the very long-in-the-tooth (but reliable as heck) Treo 700wx. (nay on the 700w, though check out Ebag's custom ROM for that one).

The update can be found here and is the usual ActiveSync installation.

Users in our forum are reporting that their devices are actually zippier than before, while a few say slightly more sluggish, so YMMV.

Improvements in WM6 include:

*

Calendar functionality - See the big picture at a glance. A Topline bar in the agenda view shows when you're free or busy, and when you have scheduling conflicts. Drill down to view meeting attendees, contact information, acceptance status, and reply-to or forward meeting requests.

*

Email support- Send and receive HTML emails with tables, bullets, and colored text intact1,2,The "smart filter" for contact search is available so you can search for emails stored on your company's Exchange Server2. Send an automated "out-of-office" message from your device2.

*

Office 2007 support - Open and edit Microsoft Office Word and Microsoft Office Excel® documents, and view Microsoft Office PowerPoint® documents. Backward compatible with Office 2003.

*

Windows Vista® compatibility - Easily sync your smartphone to your Windows Vista PC, via the Windows Mobile Device Centre (WMDC).

*

Powerful security and IT policies2 - Remotely wipe devices and SD cards clean in case of loss or theft. Plus, IT can create and enforce tougher security policies, such as password protection to better manage the entire device fleet.

*

Email hot keys - Work in the fast lane with single-key access to your most frequently used email functions. Press "r" to reply, "a" to reply all, or "m" to move to one of your folders.

*

Email Inbox search - Find that important document or email. Automatically search for attachments, senders, or keywords by simply typing a few letters while you're in your email inbox.

*

Access Sharepoint - Get what you need then get going. Access documents stored on your company's SharePoint servers via links in HTML emails1,2.

Not sure what you're talking about here. We're all aware of the WM6 update for Verizon; in fact, NightRaven linked to it in the first post. This thread is for WM 6.1.

It doesnt syn with Microsoft MyPhone or any other application I can find!

I have searched the interwebs for almost a week and installed many, many apps

Does anyone know a way to export the SMS from the Palm threaded SMS app? It can be any text based format. I can then modify the text for import back into the Outlook mobile format that will sync with the MyPhone service.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

sorry guys if this question has been answered cant read thru 160+ pages .. I upgraded to the Alltel branded WM 6.0 on my treo 700wx .. Now when i ever i receive sms it comes in blank .. and when i send the recipient receives a bunch of numbers instead of the actual text.. any ideas?

Bricked?

So I've gone through and attempted to load at least five different ROMs for my Verizon Wireless Treo 700wx. The factory update to WM6 which upon a soft reset after the install flashes the white Treo splash screen and goes no further. That brought me here because of the obvious lack of support from Palm & Verizon. I put myself through the torture of reading 160 pages of this thread and can't find anyone who's worked around this issue or even really run in to the same thing I have.

During the ROM update, the screen says "Downloading OS + BL" then signifies success before rebooting. The reboot lands me on the white Treo splash screen. I've applied all of the WM6.1 ROMs here and I get the same thing.

I've applied a hybrid of the factory WM6 combined with the latest WM6.1 ROM and get the same thing.

I have tried the Alltel WM5 OEM ROM and again get the same thing.

Am I correct to assume I'm screwed?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

MMS

I just installed the latest WM6.1 Rom on my 700wx. It seems to be working great. I did however notice that there are no settings for MMS under options and the advanced tab. It's set to manual but when I click edit, the items are blank. This phone is not yet activated on my Verizon account so I can't test it. When I activate it, will the settings populate automatically?

Message Center Number:

Email center number:

MMS Gateway address:

MMS URL:

Network profile:

I'm assuming these need values in order to work. I just put the WM6.1 Rom on here because I wanted threaded sms really. Was this a bad idea? Should I have just patched the WM6.0 Rom?

Many thanks,

Will

Do a "Search this Thread" of "Verizon MMS Settings", and near the bottom of the first page of search results, you should see a post with the values.

Can you please provide a link of the signer?

Thank you.

How are you able to patch it? Would you mind sharing your howto with others?

I looked at the PRL section but it seem to be 'compressed', when I compared it to the prl_0000 file or sprint/verizon (I forgot which one was in the EXE by default), it could not find the PRL.

A great custom ROM...

Hey NightRaven! Thanks for the wonderful custom WM 6.1 rom for the 700wx. My VZW Treo went from antiquated to relevant in 15 minutes! Though I can't send MMS messages, I still can receive them. And the threaded SMS is a treat! Again, GREAT JOB! By the way, any suggestion for a safe (and free) regeditor for this custom ron?

Just a FYI to my "can't send MMS" issue: I'm receive this error message, "Delivery Failed An unspecified error (0x84) occurred while sending this message. Originator Address Not Found." Installed the "GC VZW Arcsoft MMS 5.0.70.24.cab" onto the device. MMS (still) can't be sent.

sms 160 message split

I installed Verizon - Release 1.3 Build 20931 on my 700wx twice now and i cant get sms messaging to split into 2 messages after 160 characters? It looks as if the application is designed to split the message into 2 or more after 160 but it just stops allowing text entry and starts beeping?

I searched thru several threads in several different forums without any answers.

I am convinced it is a simple 1 or 0 in the wrong place in the registry but havent found anything that looks out of place.

I have tried several different patches and found 1 that worked "Palm_Threaded_SMS". With that application the split after 160 worked fine I just could not send or receive MMS's? Went through several different settings and still could not get the MMS to send.

So I am coming back to where I got the ROM hoping to find a answer.

Thanks Dave
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mungo888:
You are correct. It is a very simple registry entry. No need to keep reflashing your ROM. It is listed somewhere in this long tread. The key is below.

Increase SMS Limit From 1 To 10 Messages.

This makes it so you can exceed the 160 character limit when writing text messages. By increasing it from 1 to 10 it gives you a 1600 character limit.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Software\palm\varnish\messaging\sms

MaxPartsPerMsg to 10 (from 1)

MMS videos come through as pictures

I dont know if its the search feature on this site or more likely I just dont know what exactly to search for but I got another issue.

When I receive a MMS video the video comes through as a series of pictures all of the same picture, looks to be the same picture of the first frame of video.

I'm sure another setting in the reg somewhere.

Or

A missing dll. ?

No data with 6.1

I'm so glad that the 700wx isn't completely out in the cold yet. I'm dusting off Treo700wx after a few years and decided to update it to 6.1. Everything went fine. I can make calls and even used XCPU to overclock and am getting a very stable 626 Mhz, which was an issue on wm5. It runs very nice and is faster then my Touchpro.

For some reason I can't get data to work. I did do a search but the terms I used didn't turn up anything fruitful. Any suggestions? I did try going into settings/personal/phone/services/internet but the internet tab was not there. I also tried ##data# and updating that way but no luck. Any other suggestions?

I do have a HTC Vogue, RevA, that is cloned to the esn of the Treo700wx. I only turn on one phone at a time. Could it be that because the Treo is power vision and the Vogue is on a faster data, for some reason my account is locked on the faster plan? With the Treo's esn the Vogue still gets 1.8Mbps down and 400Kbps so Sprint hasn't done anything. I just remember that when I switched off the TREO in the past the rep mentioned that they had to change from power vision to vision.

I mainly want to use the Treo for long trips because I have a the bigger battery for it but I don't need all the time. I really don't like logging into Sprint and changing the phone online. Everytime I change Sprint sends me a new welcome pack, trying to save a few trees.

Thanks

edit:

Nevermind, I ended up using Google and it pointed me back to thread to post 50 something. I just called sprint for my msl# and did the following:

##rtn# /options/rtn reset/enter msl

after reboot

##mslnumber# and enter mdn (phone number) and msid. I got that from other phone using ##data#.

then finally ##data#/update profile

I guess my passwords were outdated.

wm6.1 Text message will not display words

Hi this message is for NightRaven or anyone actually that can help. NightRaven, I downloaded and flashed my phone this morning with wm6.1. It is working really well thanks :) Have one issue and do not know how to fix it. I can send a text message and everything is fine however when I receive text messages they will not display. They are either blank sometimes or where the words are supposed to be, there are squares displayed instead of letters. I have checked my settings/language etc and it all seems correct. Am I missing something or is it something I have done incorrectly?

Hi Mungo888 .. actually just did reload it from blank again but the same thing is still happening. Also tried the Palm threaded SMS but didn't make any difference. Not quite sure what to do. Everything else if working perfectly except for text messages / can't read them or they are completely blank. The phone is a Palm Treo 700wx on the Bell network (cdma) if that helps?

Hey Mungo888, I was searching around on the web this afternoon and I found this ... http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?p=1484586 .. same kinda thing as what is happening with mine. Also, I got a text from my ex today and I know she is on the same network as me (Bell) and I could actually read what it said .. it came through normally. It's my friends who are not on my network like Rogers or Telus etc .. that come through blank or unreadable. I don't know enough about this stuff but is there something I can change in the phone ?? .. I think I have pretty much gone through every possible setting in this thing today.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mungo888:
I took a look @ the link & I'm sorry I do not really have an answer for you. You can try checking under Messaging, Menu, Options, Advanced, Manual, Edit & the settings in there; Not sure what they should be for Bell, but I believe NightRaven should have those set correctly already for each carrier's ROM. Another thing is try installing the Palm Threaded SMS under Misc. Applications in the NightRaven's first post & seeing if that helps.

wm6.1 text messaging unreadable

Hey Mungo888 ... I'm sitting here playing with the old phone and you know what I noticed. I have an old Samsung that I turned on too just to make sure I wasn't seeing things. In the phone settings .. like once you turn it on and it's logged onto the (Bell Canada) network ..You know on the Treo where you can click on "About" ... start/settings/system/about .. when my phone is on the network it has "channel" .. it says "350". In the one that is giving me the problem the channel is "1075". Would that possibly have anything to do with it? I know before I flashed it with wm6.1 it used to say "350". I wrote everything down before the flash ... The frequency, SID and all the other numbers remained the same but the "channel" changed? Is there a way to change it ?

Sincerely, Ridexxx.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mungo888:
My understanding of the channel is it's a subset of the frequency used for transmission between your phone & the cell phone tower. I don't think you can manually set that as it is controlled by the network & changes all the time. I don't think that should have anything to do with the text settings.

There are also lots more advanced setting in your phone that you can look @ & change with various ## codes. But please do not change anything without knowing what your changing.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] devmanya:
I too have the exact same problem as "pda1980", specifically:

I can't change my phone's Software Version back to TREO700WX-1.15-SPNT from TREO700WX-1.11-ROWEN.

This is how my problem arose:

-I've successfully used Nightraven's WM6.1 v2.1 for most of 2009.

-I decided to go back to WM5 due to some texting issues.

-I copied ONLY the "Alltel WM5 OEM Stock ROM"s Napaboth.nb0 file from the 1st post of this thread to my SD card and successfully flashed.

-As a result my phone's Software Version changed from Sprint to TREO700WX-1.11-ROWEN.

I know (now) that I shouldn't have flashed an Alltel ROM onto my Sprint phone but I simply made a mistake. I was unfamiliar with Alltel and I thought the "Alltel WM5 OEM (Stock) ROM" was some sort of generic baseline 700wx ROM which could be used for lack of a carrier specific WM5 ROM which I could not find at the time.

In an effort to restore my Software Version I've tried:

-Successfully flashing back to Nightraven's WM6.1. (Even with WM6 installed it still reads TREO700WX-1.11-ROWEN).

-Successfully flashing to the official Palm Treo 700wx Sprint 1.15 updater (extracting all files to my memory card and then when that didn't work I used just the Napaboth.nb0 file )

-I also tried successfully running CDMAFirmware.exe from the "Palm Sprint 1.15 Updater" package but still no change to my software version.

The phone *seems* to work OK but I don't want to get surprises on my bill or have technical problems. For example, I am already getting an "unsupported device" error trying to use the official Palm Sprint Treo 700wx v1.15 desktop updater from the Palm website. I eventually successfully forced the flash using the memory card method. The reason I say the flash was successful was because I now have bloatware like "Goodlink" which was in my original Sprint WM5 installation, however my TREO700WX-1.11-ROWEN remains so was it really a "successful" flash? I also can't install other basic updates and patches from the Palm/Sprint update page like the Daylight Savings Time update or the Sprint SMS patch. Do I need to install these patches? How could I even check?

Nightraven or pda1980 (or anyone else) do you have any ideas on how to change Software Version to TREO700WX-1.15-SPNT. If not, what adverse consequences can I expect? Any help is appreciated.
