Messages disappearing problem partially solved:

Messages disappearing problem partially solved:

I think I have figured out and reproduced how to fix the problem where your text and email account disappears. There may be other causes to this problem, but here is what I found.

If you meet all of the following conditions you may have the problem:

1. you set your email to store attachments on the storage card (under email, go to Tools > Options > "Storage" tab and see if box "when available, use this storage card to store attachments)

2. You connect using USB to PC "Disk Drive" to your computer (not activesync)

3. During a USB to PC connection, you or your phone happened to access the messaging database; this can be receiving a text, opening the messaging program, or using PIM backup, for example.

The result: you cannot open messaging at all - no messages show up in TF2D, and if you go to programs and click on messaging, nothing happens

Why this causes a problem:

When number 1 is activated, part of the messaging database begins accessing the storage card (you will see folders "Inbox 12213241xx"). If it tries accessing the storage card and does not find it (storage card unavailable due to being connected as a flash drive to your PC), it creates a new storage card folder to access - you can use total commander to see this happen. Then, when the actual storage card comes back online (this is the part that I am not sure about) something fails to sync appropriately when accessing that folder again.

I could not access my messaging for a few hours it was not available. I then reconnected using USB to PC, and suddenly had access again. I noted the above happening using total commander. I disconnected from my computer, and then could not access messaging period. I deleted the new storage card folder, restarted, and still could not access messaging. However, connecting again to USB to PC, I could then access messaging again. Strange. So I took the new "Inbox folder" from the new storage card folder, copied it to the real storage card labeled Storage Card 2, and then soft reset. Still no access to messaging. After reconnecting to USB to PC, recopying the folder as above, and then unchecking the "save attachements to storage card" box and two soft resets, everything was back to normal, and I could see my messages while not connected to my PC.

For full confirmation that this is the problem, I need to test now if I can access messaging while connected to USB to PC and then disconnect and reaccess since turning of storing attachments to the storage card. Just happy that I got messaging back, and don't want to mess things up again. If someone that has never had the messaging problem wants to try to reproduce this, we can add this to the FAQs on how to connect using USB to PC "Disk Drive" safely.

The reason I say "partially solved", is that I had the messaging problem occur and then fix itself 15 minutes later about a week ago, so there either is another mechanism, or a way that things fix themselves, which also would be helpful to know.

so the phone decided to hard reset itself. again. this is like the third time it's done it on its own. the phone was just sitting on the table, with the screen off. i went to turn it on to check my mail, etc., and it wouldn't turn back on. so i soft-reset it and the phone came up as if it hard-reset.

this has gotten real old, real fast.

you can turn on the auto-lock. you just have to set a 4 digit password and set the time to auto lock when inactive for 0 minutes. then as soon as the screen goes black it'll lock. works well and you don't have to install any programs. locks all the keys including the power button.

Something is fishy, I do not do tethering much, I do occassionally and can tell you the exact date and time I did, and I usually check after a couple of days to make sure all is Ok, however in checking my unbilled usage details through BM today and looking back to last thursday, when I know I tethered, my usage was not even recorded as anything, not there, no charges, no record, no nothing.

This is different than normal now, gotta go get my tin foil hat from the closet, but something tells me something is up.

Thanks for great ROM! I have one question about volume control. Right now if you press up/down button on device, you get black volume control that changes RING volume. Is there any way to make it change SYSTEM volume instead? Or is there any way to get back to standard WM6.1 balloon volume control? Thanks!

Problem with saving text messages

Hey guys,

Dunno if anyone ran into this problem, but after flashing 1.29 (without making any additional edits), I ran some test text messages. They worked fine, but then I completed a soft-reset, and then the test texts were deleted.

Anyone run into this? Any solutions NFSFAN?

Thanks.

In call volume problem

I'm not sure if this was metioned before but I seem to be having this problem with my phone (Sprint touch 1.10) My father-in-law is also having this problem (Verizon touch 1.12) After we have made a call or recieved a call, while on the call the volume is loud which is nice but sometimes it needs to be lowered but the moment we do we can't ever get the loud volume back even if we hang up and call again. It only seems to fix itself when we do a soft-reset. Anybody else have this problem and maybe know how to fix it? Its quite annoying when I'm in my service vehicle at a stop light and I get a call its a little too loud but when I start driving then I can't hear because I turned the volume down but it wont go back up.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
Regardless of starting connection directly withing ICS or from IE, Opera, it will connect to the default connection string. CDMA Providers monitor tethering through a dynamic link library called isext.dll. This library monitors when ICS application is turned on, and switches a value in registry (TETHER_NAI) from 0 to 1. Removing the library and removing that value, will harm tethering, and you will be detected. The isext.dll is removed from the ICS extension mechanism, and is not being called by that program. You can test that TETHER_NAI value always stays on 0 even with ICS connected. Unless Bell implemented a separate M.IP through which the phone is forced to reconnect upon using ICS, you can't be detected, and it won't show any activity on your bell.ca profile. We can see that we aren't forced onto a separate connection, because the current connection remains active, if already alive.

EDIT: For bell we have 2 M.IPs

1. xxxxxxxxxx@1x.bell.ca -->Main EVDO connection

2. xxxxxxxxxx@services.1x.bell.ca --> Secondary EVDO connection (WAP Server) for DUN.

If the NAI is switched, then we would see the connection bubble reconnecting even if there is a connection already alive.

ROM will not update time when I move across timezones

When I visited Chicago last weekend (I live in Boulder, CO), the time was not updated automatically, like before when I turned on my cellphone after the plane landed in Chicago. Sure I can put in the "Home" & "Visiting" Timezones on my phone but this used to happen automatically before & is a bit irksome. Anyone got any ideas...?

WM 6.5 Review

Thought I'd post a few thoughts about 6.5 after playing with it for a day. Overall, I find NFSFAN's M2D ROM much easier to use at this point. Maybe 6.5 will get better when Microsoft moves it out of beta.

The new Today screen is interesting, but at this point you can't add/delete the menu items on it as far as I can tell. Also, if you'd like a menu item to execute a different program (say a differnt picture viewer), you're out of luck. After closing programs and falling back to the Today screen, you are defaulted to the first menu item, which is the IE favorites. I think it should go to the clock item where you have menu selections above and below it.

Speaking of IE, its much improved. I'm using NetFront now, and the speed was similar. Only thing better in NF is it allows for more viewing options. However, I could see using IE as my main browser.

There's lots of complaints about the honeycomb Start menu. Personally I didn't mind it. One big problem is changing the icon order. You are allowed only to move an icon to the top of the menu. You really need to be able to drag them to where you want. I'd bet this will be changed before 6.5 goes GA. One other huge problem is when you invoke a program, say Settings, then finish what you're doing, you are thrown back to the Today screen. If you need to do something else, you have to go to Start again and navigate back to where you were. Real tedious when you're setting up your device.

I use the favorite contacts in M2D (where you have big icons and pictures to add 12 contacts) very useful. 6.5 has nothing like it, and I missed it. Going into the main Contacts list and scrolling or searching was a pain for people I contact regularly.

I setup an IMAP email acct for my Gmail access. It connected fine and synced my msgs, but I couldn't open an msg thru Outlook no matter what I did. Weird.

NFSFAN's build includes the usual stuff, and the extra programs in 1.29 (eg. Facebook). I was able to make calls, surf the net, use RSSHub, etc. with no problems thru the day. Everything seemed pretty stable. But as I said, usability is not nearly as good as M2D yet.

Hope this helps anyone thinking about loading 6.5.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] pizzer:
Sooo... Are you saying you still prefer NFSFAN's ROMs to the new 6.5 ROM? :confused:
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] pizzer:
Do you have Sprint? I have experienced that issue with every ROM I have ever run on my Touch. I had it happen even with the original ROM, way before I ever flashed it. I think it has to do something with timing. I say this because I have noticed that if I send a text, then shut off the phone within mins after sending it, they are gone when I reboot. Same goes for messages I received. But, if I waited a little while before shutting down, say like 30mins, they would all be there when I rebooted. Weird. But I dont think its a NFSFAN ROM issue.

Here's anothing little bit of information on my tethering saga. Something screwed up on my phone because yesterday I did a bit of a test, I didn't connect my phone to my computer at all, but I used data on my phone (Google maps, Opera) and it showed up as tethered data under my usage. Needless to say, I had Bell wipe the $1200 worth of data off my bill, but I'm going to be flashing my ROM when I get home, I'm not sure yet to what tho.

I have a sprint vogue and just upgraded from the official sprint 6.1 ROM. Most things work good, except one problem. All of my contact's phone numbers are stored in MS Outlook in the format of +1 (800) 1234567. Now the phone try to dial exactly as +18001234567 and it never succeeded. Is there any way to omit the "+" when dialing? I didn't have the same problem with official sprint rom.

"suggest words as you type"

Hey guys, I usually use SPB Fullscreen Keyboard myself, but my wife still likes to use the basic Keyboard on her Touch.

The problem is this: the "suggest words as you type" function only seems to work on the Compact QWERTY and Full QWERTY keyboards that were not on the stock ROM. No matter if the feature is set on or off, it just doesn't work for the small black Keyboard. (it works fine for SPB keyboard.)

Hers is on 1.28 right now and I see the same on my 1.29.

Is there any way to change this? maybe a registry setting or something?

She just likes the small keyboard because she is used to it....and used to the gestures...
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] suanccd:

Alltel MMS has been fully fixed. I've used the newest version 5.0.71.24. Tester confirmed methamp confirmed it works great, sending/receiving. Thanks to methamp for putting many hours into this testing.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
That is the stock MS keyboard. It has no T9 support, it is just a basic keyboard.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Ta-mater:
Ah, but there's the problem... In the Stock ROM, it does work. T9 refers more to the predictive text using the Compact QWERTY, right? (ie, more than one letter per key = requires T9)

I only started using your ROMs when 1.28 first came out. Before that, I had both mine and my wife's phone on the latest Stock Bell ROM. Using that basic keyboard did indeed support the "suggest words as you type" function. Otherwise, my wife wouldn't be complaining for me to put it back the way it was...

Of course, I could go back to the stock ROM for her phone, but she likes M2D and the Touch Response thing...so she wants the best of both worlds...
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] hemirunner426:
Thats good to hear! Thanks to you both for the work! Can I ask, what was the issue?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
A combination of registry + a new Arcsoft fixed it :)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
The entire T9 support is only for the HTC keyboards. Predictive text is removed from the other keyboards, except for the HTC ones by default. The stock bell rom is on the 19208 build, mine is 21028, also I'm using the newer keyboards, in which the T9 files and predictive support for keyboards other than default HTC ones is not there.

Mercy on the noob please

Hello All,

I have a 6900 with VZW. Went from shipped WM6 rom no gps to Official WM6.1 rev.a GPS radio 3.37 and let cusoms run. I installed the Valhalla cab and GPS worked great. I then got brave and unlocked the phone using 2.31 unlocker but left the stock rom on for a week, i noticed that GPS stopped working aroung the time that this whole VZ gps thing went haywire. I then flashed to NFS 1.13 from the BL, allowed customs to run and hard reset. Rom works great, no issues except of course for GPS.

However, my question is this. Is it possible to simply flash back to the official 6.1 rom form VZ? or second part of the question, can i go back further to the original wm6 rom with no gps. If so where can i find the WM6 Rom?

I am not sure it it pays to start from scratch to resolve the gps issue, or am I wasting my time. Should GPS work, or is there a problem with VZW and GPS? Either way It would be great if someone can answer all my questions. Sorry for the long post..

Hi, I had a problem trying to install NFSFAN ROM 1.29 (bell). I unlocked my phone with the program recommended in an other topic... everything went well. I launched the Rom update and followed all the instructions... first I got to 17% or something and had a n error message (26??). Followed the instructions then it was stuck at 0% and I had error 262 report over and over again. I was stuck on the Red/green/blue screen and I decided to launch the original Bell ROM. Fortunately it worked… my phone is ok.

I would really like to have this ROM version, but I’m still hesitating… not really good at this and I don’t want to brick my phone.

Does anybody can help me with this problem?

I was wondering does anyone know if there is a way to relink the start menu to the Touch flo 2d/manila programs tab which is kinda similar to the Touch Pro 2 interface. I have found I use the program tab more often then the traditional start menu because of the ease of use of Touch flo 2d vs the older regular touch flo. It would be really useful for me if this was possible.

Storage Card folders/files disappearing/reappearing issue update:

For those having this problem, I have dug around and found some info on some possible causes. After reflashing from the bootloader, hard resetting twice, I still had folders disappear and then reappear. There are three theories that I found, I am trying two out of the three and will post back.

Theories:

1. Power management of the SD card causes errors with the card somehow. Change the following:

HKLM/Drivers/SDCARD/ClientDrivers/Class/SDMemory_Class/DisablePowerManagement=1

and

HKLM/Drivers/SDCARD/ClientDrivers/Class/SDMemory_Class/High_Capacity/DisablePowerManagement=1

2. The SD card becomes unstable because the phone has problems caused by accessing the card in memory block sizes that are too large. Smaller block transfer size = less errors, but also = slower card access.

Change

HKLM/Drivers/SDCARD/ClientDrivers/Class/SDMemory_Class/BlockTransferSize=

and

HKLM/Drivers/SDCARD/ClientDrivers/Class/SDMemory_Class/High_Capacity/BlockTransferSize=

to 32 or less (currently set to 64).

3. It is the brand/build of memory card that is simply prone to errors. Buy a kingston card made in Japan, and this will solve all of your problems.

I've always had a Japanese Kingston card, so there goes number three. Previous to switching to NFSANS rom, I use OMJ's outdated but extremely stable 3.09 rom. I had rare, very rare disappearance of small files in folders on the SD card, nothing like the 2 GB that has disappeared now, and the 5 or 6 root folders that keep appearing and disappearing on my SD card. I will compare the reg settings between the two ROMs to see if there is something to the above.

One tip is that if you notice something missing, either immediately soft reset, or turn off the phone, remove the SD card, and restart your phone with the SD card out, then replace the SD card while the phone is on which reportedly restores missing folders/data.

I will reformat my SD card and apply the above reg hacks. NFSAN or detroit_doug or other knowledgeables, can you comment on the above?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] nathan_barstow14:
I've never had any problems with random folders or file disappearing off my SD card... that's interesting. Now once or twice I have had the whole card disappear, due to the PowerManagement I assume. Fixed by simply taking it out and putting it back in...
