Hi guys!

I am still using 4.1, and I am quite satisfied. Big time!!

My only problems are, as many people have seen:

1 - The occasional rebooting while using GPS/Google maps and Opera's favorites.

2 - Rebooting while playing MP3s using Windows Media Player

3 - Very slow performance scrolling through albums with TF3D's music player.

Aside from those issues, 4.1 rocks my world!

...Great battery life; Caller ID is perfect; Alarms keep ringing; Bluetooth is bang on. Excellent signal strength. Got rid of the black bar. Slight GPS lag, but it does work nicely with iGuidance and Google Maps while driving. Activesync works everytime...

....Now, correct me if I am wrong, but 4.2 DOES fix all those rebooting bugs, right? Thrilling to me!

However, after reading the latest posts, I see there are a whole bunch of issues and bugs with 4.2 that were not present in 4.1, including more of that black bar; Bluetooth issues (fixed, I believe); GPS not found, crazy battery drain; caller ID not working with Rogers; alarms not repeating; and a few other reported bugs.

So, here is my question for NATF:

Is it somehow possible to correct those V4.1 rebooting nightmares, without making all the 4.2 issues creep up?

I'm not a chef, nor a cook! I'm the furthest thing from an expert in any of these domains, so I don't know the proper protocol on how to fix bugs....

...but I am just wondering what the next step is... when to expect either a 4.2 FIXED (x2), or a 4.3 or a 4.2c.......?

Again, I think these ROMs are the best out there. They seem soooo close to perfection.

Oh my, if 4.1 just got rid of the rebooting issues, I'd be in heaven!!

I've been checking these boards daily for 4.2. Now that it's here, though. It looks like I have to stick with 4.1

NATF, if I could know your possible next step, that would be so helpful to me.

...Everything from "Hang on to 4.1 for a month, dude" to "I'll get these 4.2 bugs out of the way this week!" would be cool. I'm certainly not trying to rush you...

...I'm just lookin' for a plan, Stan!

Thanks for all your effort. These ROMs truly are excellent. Any insight on your next moves would be much appreciated!

Thanks!!

:) @NATF

This ROM is working for me without a hitch, my FuzeBerry v7.5CFC runs as smooth as can be. I always flash from the SD card and have not had any of the problems others are describing throughout this thread.

Once again, I thank you for all your hard work.....

Considering it only takes about 15 minutes to go from 4.1 to 4.2, why don't you just do it?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] kingblind:
data connection question

Quick question, Sorry if this is dumb.. If I have the data connection turned OFF on my Fuze does that turn off Push email as well? I notice everytime I boot with 4.2 data connection is turned off..

OR.. Is data connection just for when you are roaming outside of AT&T..

(The reason that I am asking is that I don't seem to be getting emails UNLESS I hit send/receive I don't see any push going on.)

I can find a clear answer anywhere.. Thanks for everyone's time.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] tadevinney:
I too, do not mean ANY disrespect to the wonderful cooking job, But I too am not using the newest version (4.2) and have choosen v 4.0 to work best for

me

. However, I wonder if there is a fix that can be applied to v 4.0 to fix Rebooting while playing MP3s using Windows Media Player.

Thanks again to everyones help and input. It is greatly appreciated
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] garyfunk:
No. If you read the posts from NATF, you will see that the fix was to make some OS changes.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] garyfunk:
The data connection is use when sending or receiving data. Push mail, email, web browsing is all data.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] kingblind:
how to have data ON as as default

So my default in 4.2 is to have the data connection turned off.. How can I have it ON as a default. (Or does it automatically come on when I need it?)

And why is my active sync not get my email automatically.. It use to work.. Now it doesn't. (I have to manually hit the sync button in the settings tab to see new email, OR hit Send/Receive)

Thanks for the help..What a great forum..
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Michael_514:
LOL! Gary, are you kidding? :)

I am a firm believer in doing a 100% clean upgrade. No SPB Backup for me! Full-On Hard Reset, and reinstall all the apps, all e-mail accounts, settings & signatures, Full ActiveSync, customized backgrounds, Advanced Config Tweaks, Owner Info, device name, customized sounds, etc. from the ground up!

If I go from 4.1 to 4.2, I will literally spend two or three days (or more!) tweaking, tweaking, tweaking. Like most of us here, I am a power user. I am also a business owner and attorney, so I need my PPC working, big time! It's my lifeline!

It is part of my "production environment" as I used to say when I worked in I.T... Believe me... if I had a second Touch Pro, you bet I'd play around with 4.1, 4.2, and half a dozen other ROMs, the minute they are released.

But business is not that brisk that I can have one $500 unit to play with just for upgrading and downgrading ROMS.

So, all this to say... I am VERY careful with my ROMs and take upgrades seriously. If 4.2 corrected those reboot bugs and sluggish TF3D MP3 player issues... I'd be all over it like a fat kid on a Smartie!

But if users are complaining about battery drain; alarms; GPS hardware not found; and so forth, then in a million years, I would leave the device as is (reboots and all), and find out what the plan is...

I hope this makes sense...!

I certainly don't like hogging ROM threads with discussions, but I do hope that my logic is shared with other users who use their devices a lot, who also feel that a ROM upgrade is something not to be taken lightly!

...I just love 4.1! If only the reboots stopped and the music player was a bit more responsive, I'd upgrade in a flash (haha.. pun intended!)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] kingblind:
Wait.. I see that the Active Sync is set to only check once an hour on the weekends Or depending on how I have my peak times set in the schedule.. FIXED..

Now I someone can confirm that the data comes on automatically and I will be all set.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] garyfunk:
NO. I'm not kidding.

Yes. Me too. Never used SPB Backup. Never will. I know exactly what I want in the phone.

Not much different from me. Except that attorney part, though I do have a few that work under me. As for being a power user, I'm a Power power-user. It's not only my lifeline, it's the lifeline of many. I'd had to learn someone died because I couldn't be reached.

Yes. I have a spare phones. In fact, I carry at least two active phones at all times. Even to the toilet.

Wow, I only pay $250 for the Fuze units. Sorry about that.

As do I.

Strange isn't it. I don't have any of those problems. But then again, being in IT for over 35 years, I understand a whole lot more than most people.

I understand your reasoning, but not your logic.

Upgrading in a flash (pun intended) is what this is all about. This ROM has full UC, and not enough people use it. Maybe you could use it to make your life easier. It's nice to be able to put in a new ROM and be back up in 15 minutes. If it fails, I have the option to be back on the old ROM, also in 15 minutes, just as if I never flashed the new ROM.

Best regards,

PIE

NATF,

I just upgraded from 2.3 to 4.2 and I love it! I have one problem though. The text in PIE are really small and I cant select it to one column or get the text to wrap. Can you tell me what has changed in pocket internet explorer? I need it to wrap the text and increase the font size. I use beyondpod and it is dependent on PIE setting. thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] DerekHaltom:
I'm in the same boat as every time I change ROMs, I do it the hard way. But, as someone that was a huge fan of 2.3, 4.2 fixed is my new favorite. I have had no battery issues, no gps issues, no music issues, and while I did have a slight issue with the black bar and text thing, a quick cab install fixed it fine. Now the black bar does pop up, but it doesn't stick any crazy words into my texts (or anything else for that matter). I think it is more than worth it as an upgrade.

Alarm bug?

When I set an alarm, the screen flashes, but no sound is made. Yes, the sound is turned all the way up. When I go to settings, then "Sounds & Notifications", then notifications, then event, I couldn't get alarm in the drop down menu. This is where there should be alarm listed to assign a sound to the alarm. Can you verify this on your 4.2 phone and/or tell me how to fix it?

Oh, and GO STEELERS!!!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aak4:
On my phone, the alarm doesn't sound at all, let alone repeat. My phone also has a great improvement in battery life with 4.2. Major props to NATF.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] DrzNight:
Well I can hear my alarm it just doesn't repeat and gets cut short.

and btw GO CARDINALS!!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] cushcalc:
I also use T9, and like it for the most part.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] silverkiller:
having a problem, with my fuze, put on the 4.2 NATF, i can email fine, use weather fine, but i can't browse the web with opera or IE(no problem with wifi though). i searched and saw someone with the same problem but no replies. hope i didnt miss it

do you think its a radio problem or a bad flash? or a hardware problem. (though i doubt its hardware since i can use wifi to browse just fine, and i can browse every blue moon, its very flukey)

im gonna attempt to find a stock ROM and flash it to see what happens when i get home. but any help is appreciated.. you guys seem very helpful.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] TheWebMachine:
LOL You crack me up Gary. So v4.2 is working great now. This new disable xT9 cab seems to do the trick. It's nice to have the option to type one-handed again. Everything else seems ok...the SMS unread bug is mildly annoying...but I can actually type full speed again so I'll take the lesser of two evils!

I have been hearing mixed reviews about several Blackstone radios having very good performance. Anyone in here using one? Care to share what you know? Thanks. :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] clavace:
Push email

Go to your inbox (list of emails) and tap Menu on bottom right. Select Tools//Options//In Accounts tab tap on email account name (mine is Comcast)// tap Send/Receive Schedule//Select Automatic Send/Receive time from drop down menu (mine is set to push email every 30 minutes).

Email send/receive uses data. Data should turn on when needed.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Imatard2006:
I have always had the same problem with mu Fuze whem I change Roms. I have to reload the radio once or twice and after a couple of resets the gps will slowly show all the satalites. I get 4 to 8 satalites lock from inside my house . Hope this helps....
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] garyfunk:
4.2 is by far the best ROM to date. I have NO problems with it as it is and I am now able to backup and restore pim.vol and cemail.vol. I'm still looking for some registry entiries but soon I'll be able to install a new ROM and have my phone just as I want it without having to do any changes. UC is great and super fast. Saves me time and gets it right.

I think you meant"... any time sooOoooOon"
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] H4ck54w:
Hahahahaha!

"Oh man there's blimp in my milk!"

That's great.

Great ROM. I was using Da_G's clean for a while then realized every time I customized it after flashing it ended up like your v4 almost every time.

I DL'd your OEM/ROM/SYS but haven't had enough time to give it my full attention, but I can't wait.

(no offence Da_G)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] systematicdecline:
i have not had this problem with 4.2 fixed. This rom kicks major but!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] HHumbert:
Definitely a quality ROM

To echo the sentiment from above, there is some major ass getting spanked with this ROM. I switched off TF3D, and with NATF 4.2, am absolutely loving this little PPC of mine. NATF hit a home run with this thing. This may be my goodbye post because I can't think of anything else that I'm lacking. When there's no pain, why change?

Can anyone give me any argument as to why I should upgrade to NATF 4.3 or 5.0 or whatever? Being addicted to flashing doesn't count as a valid reason.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] drugusv:
thanks

i change my Radio to v1.02.25.28, and couple off Hard Reset, and now i find sattelites in the house :) thanks!!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] garyfunk:
Yes. NATF found good reason to make a 4.3. It's not like he's going to make future ROMs worse. They are all better for some reason.

charger launches internet sharing app

I have this issue, and accidentally hit internet sharing. now I get internet sharing popping up every time I plug in the charger or usb. I'm going to have to go away from this rom if I can't figure this one out. any ideas? I wish I hadn't hit that button. is there a way to turn this off in the registry?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] NotATreoFan:
Start -> Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC. Check the box for prompting.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] tt_ttf:
4.2 seems to be a power hog....

I had 4.1 and whilst it had a few quirks, battery life was good. Easily see 1.5+ days on a charge

With 4.2 (there is two of us here with the same load) battery life seems significantly shorter. We are lucky to see a day. Right now down below 50% after just 4 hours.

2 different radios - one is stock and I have the Telsra radio loaded.

Any idea NATF?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] AskTheAdmiN:
I had this issue briefly but a soft reset kicked it back into gear, I was getting the RED X in Opera and Errors in IE but email and weather were fine.

Soft reset and I am back in action!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] eras2r:
Guys, there is no need to reflash your radio. It's pretty simple. When you flash a new rom:

1) Make sure AGPS is disabled

2) Update QuickGPS

3) Run GPS Test to get initial satellite lock (I usually change the baud to 38400) The first time you attempt to get a sat lock, make sure you have a clear view of the southern sky. It may take a few min to 7 mins depending on yer location. Once GPS Test has gotten your first lock, your phone will lock quicky from now on - even after a soft reset.

Just be patient for the first lock. Also you can play with using the Microsoft GPS intermediate driver vs. COM4 in your nav software. I find that with Garmin Mobile XT there is less lag using the COM port directly.

-e
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] garyfunk:
Thank you for the information. I am going to try your suggestions. Where does one turn off AGPS?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] NotATreoFan:
You found my hidden file!

I was having issues with my battery charging slowly when I first flashed v4.2, but after doing a hard reset (to test a few things), my charging time this morning went from 40%-100% in under 1.5 hours.

Opera has a nasty habit of not starting a data connection if the phone is connected to a PC.

Dumb question... I always use COM4 in iNav. Is there another way to try getting a fix?

AGPS is disabled by default, but can be toggled on/off from Start -> Settings -> AGPS Settings
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] garyfunk:
I found the file when I was looking a ringtones. Thought it weird but didn't give it much thought. So where did it come from and why?

Okay, AGPS is disabled. That's why I couldn't find it On. Thnaks.

I have been looking for the "Enable advanced network functionality" registry entry. Will someone please tell me where it is located?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] kcnaylor:
Really don't know if this is related to 4.2 or not, but after flashing to 4.2, I keep getting random error messages - 'Cannot execute Calnote.exe,' 'Cannot execute Tskschedule.exe' and 'Cannot Execute Replog.exe.' They don't seem to be creating other issues; my Fuze syncs correctly, alarms and notifications seem to work OK. They're just annoying. I didn't see this with the stock Rom or NATF's 4.1, which I had been using. Running the same apps (use UC to install) on both 4.1 and 4.2. I've hard reset a couple times since re-flashing and see the same errors.

I've done a fair amount of research and seen a number of others having similar problem (not specifically on the NATF rom's), but have yet to find a clear explanation of a fix.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Ringer Silent

I notice this probelm too, but I read somewhere someone reflash the same radio onto their rom and the battery life improve. I did the same thing with mine. When I had flash 4.2 over my blackstone radio 1.09.25.35, I notice a big battey drain. I took the advice and flash the blackstone radio again onto 4.2, so far, battery life seem to improve greatly. Not as good as 4.1, but not as bad as 4.2 before reflashing radio.

Screen Rotation

Hey NATF, not sure if you would be able to do it but would it be possible to speed up the screen rotation?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] garyfunk:
I think if it could be done, he and every other chef would have done so.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] silverkiller:
Well i flashed a stock ROM onto my Fuze and was able to browse the web fine, i did notice that it automatically asked me to setup the network when it loaded.

i reflashed 4.2 onto the phone and again and im having the same problem as i did before, weather and mail work fine, but i cant browse the web. weird problem

no idea what it is, but i wont be able to use this ROM :(, i need the browsing obviously. its too bad because i really like it.

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] wildace408:
I think that the TouchPro ROM will ask you to setup the network but the Fuze Rom does not since it is setup to work with AT&T with its proxy.

If you are using a Fuze on a non-AT&T network you could try installing the remove proxy cab NATF has on post#4

@NATF: I was just wondering if you have had any info on how aGPS is working on this rom. I have always disabled this since I first got the fuze so I'm not too sure what to look for while using it. I will try to get some more tests with it and give feedback.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] 4wrestling:
Just wanted to say thanks for all of your hard work. I'm not a real phone techie, but I've been using this rom since 2.0, and it is spectacular. I added the disable cab for the black box in 4.2, and this is definitely the best yet.
