Weird - I've never had that problem with the ROM version that I'm on now. I'm on Sprint, same phone as yours, same ROM. The only thing I could mention is that there are differing ROM's out there and the one that I'm using came from this link...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=397134

...because the previous ROM that I was using always sent my text messages as encrypted whenever I sent it to a 5-digit short-code. So, the automated services that I was trying to text never knew what the hell I was trying to request. So, finding a different ROM fixed it - it's the ROM I referenced in the above link. The ROM itself really I think may have been pulled from the Treo Pro - that's how new it is.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dcmidnight:
A hard reset - unfortunately - seemed to be the fix.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] juliano.ramos:
That's the default functionality for the new PIE. It's actually pretty helpful to me now that I've gotten used to it. But the copy and paste functionality can be utilized by going to Menu=>Copy/Paste=>Make Selection. Thats where it'll let you do the old fashioned click and drag. You'll get used to it... it's better and easier this way.

Same thing happened to my wife's Treo last week. After spending an hour on the phone with Sprint (time wasted) I figure "what the hell?" and flashed back to WM5 rom (SMS worked) then flashed back up to NR's WM6.1 (SMS worked) and then restored from backup (SMS failed). I then did a hard reset and manually restored all programs from .cab files and it now works. I figured it was a configuration problem until I saw your post.

But all in all a very minor bug in an otherwise perfect release. In case I haven't said it before, GREAT JOB Night Raven!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] juliano.ramos:
Yah um... dare I take a raise-of-hands as to how many people would agree that calling Sprint for any purpose beyond "saying hello" is useless.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mungo888:
I actually ran into this exact problem 3 months ago. I spent several hours running various different tests including calling Sprint, useless, & flashing back to WM 5, which SMS worked, & eventually came to the conclusion that a hard reset was the only way to fix it. If I remember correctly I was able to restore back, using Sprite Backup, to a prior clean backup I had made right after I had finished flashing to 6.1, configuring, & installing all my applications. However restoring the backup I made after SMS stopped working did not fix the problem. So my guess is that something got corrupt in the registry.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] juliano.ramos:
I think certain ROM releases have a bug or two in them and the texting component seems to resonate. I had the texting problem with short-codes (the 5-digit codes normally used by big corporations to make texting to them easier) and none of them would work. Turns out, once I downloaded a completely different ROM, the problem was done. Plus the ROM had better functionality than the one I had downloaded previously.

Web Search plugin

Has anyone found a solution to the Web Search Plugin being missing as a selection on the Items list for the Today Screen? I really miss this feature.

I looked in the registry and the entry is configured for the Web Search item for the today screen. Is this an incompatibilty with Windows Mobile 6.1?

Thanks.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] allivant:
i have that problem.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] juliano.ramos:
You know what I did notice that. I never paid it much attention since I use (not trying to advertise but I use) the Google Mobile App which does have Today Plug-in functionality. The plugin however is about 1.5x the regular height of normal today plugins so I just leave it off of the Today screen and just access it from the Programs menu when I need it. You could also rig it into the Start Menu if you wish. Lot's of options to choose from - each person will have their own that works best for them. :)

Hope that was somehow helpful.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] allivant:

I have searched and not been able to find a solution when the phone is in a data connection I can not send a txt message it fails. With the verizon rom it would i guess hold it and send it after the data not really sure but is there a fix for this. Thanks for the help in advance.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] juliano.ramos:
Well this is really something you should post in the SMS forum but I'll go ahead and tell you that your problem isn't abnormal.

I'm on an EVDO and I have the same problem you do, so what I'm about to say only applies to this technology - I'm unsure of how others work.

Just like in recent eras, you couldn't talk on a landline at home while you were connected to the web via dial-up. Today, you can't be on a voice call on your cell phone and still use data (your phone won't even pull your emails until you hang up). Unfortunately the same goes for SMS. Even though you can easily send and receive texts while you're talking on the phone, the data connection works differently than a voice call.

For me, the functionality of the error message that pops up on my phone makes it easy for me to simply re-try and it will go through after a few tries. Maybe that's what you should give a shot at... just persisting with the text message until it gives-in.

But unless I'm wrong, there isn't anything that can be done to fix this... it's just the way the sharing of technologies (data/voice/sms) works.

If you have any other concerns on this, please go to the main page (xdaforums.com) and search for the forum specific to your handset.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] j77drummer:
that I understand but it hasn't happened on my 6800 or my touch pro or my treo700wx. Except for this rom alone so idk lol. I love this rom its so much better than verizons crap. Its just annoying with the sms deal lol and thank you for the reply tho. Is there a way to set it up to automatically retry maybe ? that would be good enough for me
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fr4nk1yn:
My wife really loves her 700wx. I've given her 2 other phones and she goes back to it.

I did the WM6.0 update when she first got it and she hated it.

This update is nice and fast. Amazing work.

I think I brick'd my phone

OK, I'm on the Telus Mobility network here in Canada. I downloaded the WM6.1 Rom for Treo 700wx Alltel/Bell/Telus - Release 1.3 Build 20931 rom, formated SD card to FAT32 and copied file to SD card.

OK, so here's what went wrong...I did all of this..

Check - Format SD Card as FAT32.

Check - Copy Rom image (NapaBoth.nb0) to SD card.

Check - Remove Battery from phone, and unplug the power cord.

Check - Reinsert battery while holding the up volume button on the side of the phone.

Now from this point on things go wrong

Check - Follow on screen prompts.

Check - Once the update starts, plug in your power cord. You don't want the battery to go dead while updating.

No go - Wait for approximately 20 minutes for the update to complete. just as it was doing the OS + BL update 1 tick in, power went out and the phone went dead, guess the charge didn't hold. So now I have a phone that won't turn on, not even with the charger plugged in. Not sure what to do..

TIA

OK, so it turns out it's NOT the battery with the issue. Had it checked with Telus. It's the phone now, what to do what to do

Can I jump right in at 6.1

My treo is a Verizon phone. I have up graded through Verizon the WM 6.0. Some software my company is rolling out works with WM 6.1.

My question NightRaven is do I need to start with the NightRaven's Treo 700wx WM6.1 Kitchen and work my way up the revisions or can I jump right in at the Verizon - Release 1.3 Build 20931 level. and do I still need to use the Kitchen as described at the bottom of your page for WM6?

Thank you for all the work
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Captain_Throwback:
You can install whichever version you want; no need to use the kitchen, as NR has prepared a Verizon ROM. Just download, flash, and go!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DITman:
First post to this thread.

I've updated the ROM image of a Verizon Treo 700WX, Ver. 1.24, to the 1.3.0 posting. The phone reports as WinMobile 6.1 with the following ideosyncrocies:

1) In the ABOUT, VERSION screen, it doesn't report out that there is a 2 GB SD card installed, although the card is installed and usable.

2) In the ABOUT, PHONE screen, it does report out the DATA USER NAME (only a blank field is displayed), although the CONNECTIONS, BROADBAND ACCESS screen has the username entered and highlighted.

3) Most annoying is the rotating MS ball that is displayed almost ALL the time, even when the Task Manager is cleared of memory-bound applications.

The only add-in programs I've installed post WM6.1 are:

1) Windows Live 10.6.0034.0800

2) Google You Tube

3) Google Search

4) Google Maps (for Latitude use)

5) Astraware Soduko

Has anyone seen this annomalie and figured out how to get it to stop? Other than that, it's nice to be able to make WinMobile approximate the functionality of my Palm Treo 650 under PalmOS 5.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Captain_Throwback:
Thanks for the quick response. Its not an SDHC card. Just a regular SD card I bought about 2 years ago for my Treo 700w. I haven't installed the SDHC slot driver on my 700wx yet, but as I understand it, once I upgrade the ROM I won't have to? (I read earlier in the thread that someone requested that it be included in the ROM, but I didn't see if it was or not). I think the only blank card i have is a miniSD card w/a SD card adapter. Will that work?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lennysh:
Well, miniSD is worth a shot, not sure if it'll work or not. Only testing will tell. But if it doesn't, I'd advise you either format the 4GIG SD, or buy a smaller SD... All you need is like a 256 MEG SD to use just for flashing. I use a 1 GIG for flashing all my SD loading devices.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Captain_Throwback:
Since I didn't have the miniSD card handy, but I was able to acquire a card reader, I moved all the stuff from my 4GB card to my computer, and reformatted it (FAT32 of course, which was actually the only option), and put the ROM file on there. It just finished updating. Thanks for the help!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TrendyPick:

Cannot Download Outlook Mail

So I have the WM6 ROM installed now (on my VZW Treo 700wx), and its working okay. But I've noticed 2 issues:

I have my device set up to sync with an Exchange server for my job, and I have it set up to download the headers only, and store any attachments on my storage card. However, when I go in to any of the messages, and click to download the messages, they never download. So Then I looked in Activesync at the Exchange server status, and it says "Connected", but not "Synchronized". When I press the button to "Sync", it looks for changes, but then just goes back to saying "Connected".

EDIT: Well, the messages finally downloaded, but only after I got new e-mail. Now, this seems to be working fine. That's odd.

Also, I installed the Threaded SMS, which is quite neat, but it doesn't work with my Jeyo Mobile Extender 2.5 for Outlook. Previously, when I had my phone connected to my PC and i got a text message, i would get notification on my screen, and could easily reply. Now, the notifications don't get to the computer at all. I can still send SMS from my computer when connected, but the items don't get saved in the "Sent Items" folder on my device.

Is there something I can do to fix this?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Captain_Throwback:
I have one more problem too - my battery life is completely horrible now. If I use Internet Explorer, and TomTom for any extended amount of time, my battery barely lasts 4 hours. It was just fine before I put WM6 on it. Any thoughts on why that might be?

No tips for my text messaging problem?

Is any other Alltel users having this problem or is everyone's working great? Should I reload the rom?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] barrowbl:
I am on Alltel and I dont have any problems with texting. I used this ROM for about a month with no problems. I've been on Ebags ROM now for about three months and love it! my only problem with texting is i cant send messages over 150 chars. I don't know what the problem is but for sure it is frustrating. It should break messages over 160 chars into 2 or more messages but it can't even send 1 message at 150 chars. Crazy!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:

I don't think i had this problem on your ROM. It also does it with the threaded SMS program.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] afripino:
I've got an issue where the carrier name shows as the current date. How can I get that to change? I tried the \hklm\software\microsoft\ril\carriername change, but that just reverted back after a disconnect / reconnect. I thought it was a cool feature at first, but now with SPB MS skins, it is a bit annoying. I'd like to go back to a simple carrier name.

Help?

now I have another issue. I accidentally went into the phone settings. I didn't change anything, but when I hit the OK button to get out, it gave me that darn Roaming issue. now I think I'll have to hard reset to 1.15 then back to the custom ROM. I was soooooooo close! do we have a fix for this yet?

:(:(

I don't really have any problems w/ always being on roam (phone-wise), but my Ringtone is always going to be the same and ActiveSync to my Exchange server will not sync automatically. I have to manually send / receive my emails now.

EVDO disconnect issue fix.

For those of you who are Alltel customers and are having issues with evdo on the newer ROMs 6.0 and 6.1, I have a fix for the issue.

Problem Description: After disconnecting the EVDO data session (either dilberately or when in a place of poor service), EVDO does not reconnect. When EVDO attempts to reconnect, you receive an error message that state something to the affect of "The answering modem has disconnected." Then only way to get EVDO to connect again is to soft reset the phone.

Problem Resolution: Contact Alltel technical support. Have them reset your Class of Service. Specifically have them change it from "AML Simple" to "AML" and back to "AML Simple".

This has been a long running issue with most of the alltel users I have talked to who are running the newer roms. These steps have resolved the problem on my phone. Please take to time to test these changes on your phones if you are having trouble, and please post the results. Again this is only an issue if you are an alltel customer running a 6.0 or 6.1 on your Treo 700wx.

WM 6.1

installed on sprint branded 700wx... no issues and my backup (sprite mobile 6.5) took instantly... thanx again Night Raven and LennySH for your great work!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Captain_Throwback:
nice . . .

I installed this on my Verizon Treo 700wx. Its a big laggy, and my SD card isn't showing up in File Explorer. I tried applying the SDHC driver (which I don't believe I should need with 6.1), and it still doesn't see it. The phone does vibrate when i put the card in, though. It just isn't accessing it for some reason.

EDIT: Well, I uninstalled the SDHC driver and soft reset the phone, and now it sees the card. I probably should've just soft reset it in the first place.

Removing Palm Threaded SMS

I am noticing the same issue as well but only after removing the Palm folders from the OEM folder per the instructions earlier...

My question: Is there a "safe" way to remove the Palm threaded sms app in order to build the rom without it? As it is I am not getting rings at all when it is removed...

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tjacoby2006:
Please forgive me...

Ok so I have been pouring over this thread for a couple of hours now (searching... searching... searching) and I am really excited about all the NightRaven has done. Thanks!

Now my question is, through all of my searching I have kind of gotten myself all turned around as far as what actually will come with the Verizon ROM (I have the Treo 700w on the way).

1. Does it come with the Palm threaded sms application, or will I have to install that separately (I want this!!!)?

2. Does the above work properly with MMS with Verizon (I think I saw that it may require tweaks, but that may have been an older post)?

3. If I need to use arcsoft for mms, does that work properly with Verizon (i.e. I am not going to suddenly have a bunch of data charges on my phone, it will use my plan that includes MMS)?

Thanks again for all of this work! And I am sorry if this has all been spelled out somewhere, like I said I have been looking and looking and found no definitive answer.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] shawnsturm:
Resolved

HKCU>ControlPanel>Notifications>Phone

Delete the "Order" DWORD value (None of the other phone keys had the order value)

The "Phone: Known Caller" event now displays in the correct order, the "Ring type" dropdown correctly pulls the available options and everything seems to be working fine (receiving phone rings again)

This might not be the correct method, but it does work.

I just wanted to say thanks to NightRaven! You made my Treo my favorite phone again :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
I dont recommend running 6.1 on the 700w. It simply doesn't have enough ram to support it. It will load, but there have been a lot of compaints about the speed.

1.) It does have palm threaded SMS built into the rom.

2.) MMS does work with verizon provided you install the verison rom version. It useds palm threaded sms for mms as well.

3.) You don't need to use arcsoft. However, you do need to have mms enabled on your plan.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tjacoby2006:
Awesome, thanks for the response! I think I will give it a try anyhow, as I really do not plan on using the phone for anything other than calls, texting, and keeping appointments. Do you think that would give me troubles (I absolutely will not be doing web browsing, media playing, etc)?

As far as creating a backup of the original ROM, should I use Grab It (saw this somewhere earlier in the thread), or is there a better way/software?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chris2k5:
Just wanted to say THANKS! I searched for months for Windows 6.1! It worked without a hitch. You are TRULY the best!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tjacoby2006:

Hey, everybody:D! Cheers from Brazil.

Firstly, I SWEAR I've searched a LOT before posting these upcoming questions. Maybe my searching skills suck:p. Second, THANKS everybody for the amazing support you've been providing, specially NightRaven. This is my first post. I hope it doesn't hurt... :rolleyes:

(background first): I have a Treo 700wx. This week I tried WinMo 6.1 (Sprint and Verizon's). Both worked smooth!! To the questions:

1- I simply don't wanna use IMAP email. It takes longer to download (compared to WinMo 5.0). People say I need to disable the "try to auto setup your account" field. THERE IS NO such field in my Treo. And after it creates the IMAP, I tried putting manually the POP/SMTP settings and apparently that doesn't work, since the field:IMAP is still set and gray (I can't change it). How can I setup manually a POP3 account?

View at EasyCaptures.com

1b- Is this related to WM 6.1? If I downgrade to 6.0 will be this issue addressed? What will I loose if I downgrade (I mean, 6.1 is REALLY better than 6.0)?

2- I know that's weird: but I prefer the old Pocket Internet Explorer, from WM 5.0. I need to get texts fast, I like navigating in "one single column" display, due to speed and ease of use (I'm a teacher, I need fast access to text-based web sites; besides, I'm always on a bus or in the subway, my hands are barely free, navigating on the OLD browser is easier). When I want quality navigation, aspect ratio preserved and access to the beautiful desktop-like screen, I go to Skyfire or Opera, or even the Internet Explorer that came with WinMo 6.1.

Thanks in advance, forgive my poor English and also forgive me for this loooong post.

Cheers!

WM6.1 Rom for Treo 700wx

I installed the ROM in my 700wx, but there is hardly any difference from 6.0 the task manager is 6.0, and the X option is not available is there going to be a new update?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chris2k5:
I noticed the X Option not being available. I wish I could have the option to make X exit a program instead of minimizing it.

Other than that I noticed performance isn't as fast as 5.0 or 6.0 BUT it isn't that noticeable. The processor isn't that fast to begin with anyway.

I mainly got it for threaded SMS and it works BRILLIANTLY. I am having the time of my life texting away. :) I am NEVER going back to the old SMS formats. Threaded is LIFE.
