Major problem with WM

Hey i00

I've got a major problem with my HTC Shift since upgrading the rom.

Before upgrading everything worked ok when WM when to suspended mode and I pressed the Snapvue button WM come alive straight away.

Now when it suspense in WM and I press the snapvue button WM does not come alive anymore even when Vista is running and I press it again Vista does not come alive. The only way for me to make vista come alive is to slide the switch button and vista come back on.

If I press the snapvue button again I only get a blank screen I press it again and nothing unitl I press the switchy on the side and visat is on again.

To make WM work again I have to remove the battery and its back up and running until it goes back to suspended mode.

Is this a bug or is they something I miss out when I upgraded the ROM.

Please I need some help here because nowe I cannot use the HTC Shift in this manner.

Please Advice me what I should do?

Thanks

common problem

This is a common problem with all custom roms...

The resuming button does not bring wm back ...

Go to communication manager in vista and go to the "Advanced Settings" then "Snapview mode"

and press Reset snapview.

It will reboot wm side.

Then, just go to wm Settings->Power->advanced and uncheck "Turn of device if not used for 2 miniutes".
[Shift Development] i00:
Yea only happens with some shifts though ... mine works fine ... ie the SnapVue switch actually turns the WM side on if its in sleep mode :) - will add this to Post #3 (the FAQ)
[Shift Development] joy.d:
interesting, if this problem only with some Shifts.

maybe different BIOS on Windows Side? Or different Radio Versions? Or the different is the European 3G modell to the other CDMA Device?
[Shift Development] nbos04:
Two Solutions to the Problem

As said - 2 solutions.

1. on WM go into Settings, Connections Tab and then USB to PC application and tick "Enable Advanced Network Functionality".

OR

2. Reset your power settings on WM. See this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3408200&postcount=143

Both options work. Obviously option 1 is the best as it allows your computer (WM side) to "sleep" and therefore save more power. The second option is for those that sometimes have synch issues with the Enable Advanced Network Functionality set on (like me from time to time).

Cheers
[Shift Development] i00:
Ahh so thats what causes it .. hrm it should be set to advanced network functionality by default tho... maybe i will make it so you can't disable network functionality in a future relase
[Shift Development] PlayStation:
For some Shifts (mine included) if the box for "Enable Advanced Network Functionality" is checked it is not possible to sync. i grappled with the problem of vista failing to see mobile side until I unchecked the box. The box is enabled by default any time you reset winmo and I have to uncheck it to enable sync. That means that if you cook a rom that cant disable network functionality some of us would land into problems if we use the rom. I would thus suggest that you dont disable network functionality for future roms for the benefit of those of us with those kind of Shifts. Thx.
[Shift Development] joy.d:
hmm, but maybe that problem was only with the first version of usbtool? (the network connectivity - if you uncheck the advanced Network funktion) or I thinking wrong?
[Shift Development] nbos04:
I have the first version of USB Tools (from thaihugo phone ROM). I have the advanced functionality checked at the moment and it syncs - though sometimes it "chucks a nana!" and I have to turn it off.

This is why I found the "other solution" to the problem.

Can't remember if the new version of USB Tool (from liberation) had this problem or not.

Anyway, my big problem now is trying to get KeepTrack to synch - going to have to send a "help" email to the company:)
[Shift Development] thaihugo:
Ha the greatness of the USB tool problem....

To make thinks clear: USB tool change a registry key to redirect a com port. The com port is either inside or outside. Version do no change anything to this fact. Stop thinking your problems comes from it, and start searching about differences in vista or WinMo configuration.
[Shift Development] i00:
just wondering if anyone knows how the usb tool works? i would love to make a service that does the same thing automatically so you don't have to open a seperate program

Kris
[Shift Development] centronics:
Great!! Thx i00 for your rom.. nice..:)

I hope someday, there is a rom can access SD card, bluetooth and wifi on winmo. I think uiqjirka can help for this, look at his post in this thread
[Shift Development] i00:
Thats kinda a cheet method ... ie it actually creates a network drive to access the sd card - you can also make it access the hdd this way...

direct rom access would be much better as with vista loaded my shift lasts about 2 hours as opposed to about 10!

Unfortunatly cracking the Radio's / ROM's take time and some hardware may not even be physically exposed to the WM side... only time (and lots of hard work) will tell...

[Shift Development] hdbueller:
I will be happy to just get the headset working....wired or not. Can't use it in the car without a headset due to noise.... :(

E-mail (pop3) does not automatically roam

Dear i00,

Fist of all: THANX for the effort sofar.

Today i installed the update rom (03-03) and i have been playing with it all day. Phone tryout is next for today.

I am used to sync/roam my pop3 e-mail accounts (2x) every 30 minutes or so.

This can easely be set in options on the emailaccountsettings.

I cannot seem to get it functional.

Settings are ok.

tested everything on manual sending and receiving e-mail and that worked like a charm.

Is this a known issue with this rom?

Did not read about it on all the 11 pages sofar.

Look forward to an answer.

Edit: (I experience the problem on WinMo side)

Best regards,

Qtek9000Jan

.NET 3.5 implementation not complete ?

Anyone else facing problems with .NET apps like PocketReperion GPS Tracking or AEGphone ?

THis is the first rom that fails to load these two apps, so I gather it must be something in this rom. Errors complain about missing functionality.

Could try reinstalling a full .NET 3.5 package but rather await comment from

the cook , who's done a great job.
[Shift Development] hdbueller:
Absolutely
[Shift Development] i00:
Hrm... a few of you seem to be having issues with .Net 3.5 - Thanks for pointing it out ... I have since looked into this and it appears the OEM I created works for applications as long as their in the windows directory ... such as my registry editor (which is why i hadn't noticed sooner). If someone wants to post a working OEM i will be sure to implement (I will be busy this W/E so won't have time to seek for one myself; will try to post an updated ROM if someone posts the OEM though). Until then, I guess you could copy your apps to the Windows dir

Kris
[Shift Development] nbos04:
Well, there you go. I should define myself better - I am a User not an Operator :)

Anyway, I have never really worried about the USB Tool "drama". I'm happy ticking and un-ticking boxes. And I never have had a need to have the modem running at the same time as a synch.

if I was to play with anything else I would probably brake it;)

Clarification

Hey i00,

Noticed that my name is up on your FAQ. Just to clarify - the solution is not mine, I found it on some other threads. Though I would like to give the name of the person who worked it out first, sifting through the search to find that "first post" will drive me INSANE!

Hi Kris! I've a question, does the built in mic in shift work when made calls, and can I make the call private using headphone that comes with my shift?

Appreciate all your works and supports.
[Shift Development] wr6969:
Maybe it's just me, but if you don't allow the user to switch advanced network functionality on or off, I'm afraid I won't be able to use your great ROM anymore! I need it - if I use USBTool, I always need to uncheck it, then check it again once done, because if not, as we all know, the device won't wake up!
[Shift Development] titamarco:
Same problem, to connect WM to VISTA I must select and unselect enable advanced network functionality, this is the only solution and does not always work.

Hello world from VENICE:D
[Shift Development] hdbueller:
The internal mic works, but you have to turn on the speakerphone for it to work. It does not work with the headset yet..... That is now the biggest issue to solve! Hopefuly when cmonex returns home from her trip, we will be able to solve it,as no one else has yet.

downloading mail on WM side

Hi i00,

I already posted this question in post nr 109 on page 11.

Please help!

I am used to receive my pop3 mail every 30 minutes.

This is easely set in settings of the emailaccount.

I tried several times to receive mail automatically after updating your rom.

It did not work.

Settings were ok since i was able to retreive the testmails on manual sent/receive.

Awaiting your help,

Comm Manager Button

Hey i00

could you please tell me if the comm button on the HTC shift activates the comm manager in WM because since I've put this rom it does not activate it, I remember that it works in Vista but I cannot remeber if it works as well in WM.

I've look under Start > Settings > Buttons

but the is not button that I could assign to any program and when I look under Assign a program Comm Manager is not in the drop down list.

If this feature is possible how can I get the button of the Comm Manager to launch the comm manager can I do anything in the reg edit and if so which one do I modify.

Thanks

Gigino
[Shift Development] i00:
Yea i wrote a program in .net to do this (i00 - AutoSpeaker.exe in the windows dir)... I don't really know other methods of programming form WM so i am not entirely sure (i assume it would be easy for someone in the know)... but basically it listens for when a phone call is active and uses ossvcs.dll#218 to enable/disable the speakerphone... it listens for the call even though you should be able to just set it at any stage, even when not in a call, because when i enabled it outside the phone there was a constant notification stating "The speakerphone is on"; it worked on my Touch Pro without stating this all the time

I picked up the phone events using the built in .net call Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status.SystemState

Kris
[Shift Development] i00:
It doesn't seem to make a difference actually ... you can still switch the screen off when the Vista side is off it just doesn't do it automatically... just press the snap vue button
[Shift Development] i00:
Hrm don't know - works fine with my gmail account ...

Does it work on a different sync interval?

What provider do you use?

I just realised it uses POP3 ... hrm I should change my ROM so it finds the smtp settings automatically for gmail...

Kris
[Shift Development] i00:
It didn't by default before ... hrm ... ill have a look into mapping that button to comm manager later .. good idea ...
[Shift Development] i00:
had a look at the comm button thing .. i couldnt get WM to recognise the button in a test app i made - so doesn't look hopefull :(

Kris
[Shift Development] thaihugo:
I'm not a .Net specialist, but you could compile this against .net 2.0 framework in your compiler settings. If the instruction exist in 2.0, then you drop the 3.5 requirment and save 4 Megs from the rom if necessary.
[Shift Development] i00:
ahh thats what u meant i thought u meant programming it in another language... opps... but i include the .net framework anyway atm ... will look into removing it later mabye...

oh and btw it works with V2 of the framework .. will consider converting my other apps

New version - Working headset yet?
[Shift Development] deadnex:
Is this ROM GSM only or does it have full 3G funtionality?
[Shift Development] hdbueller:
It should be both. In the connection settings,it has the 3g option in the drop-down box in set up.

Later
[Shift Development] sarvesvara.dasa:
To my understanding... it is both
[Shift Development] thaihugo:
there is no rom gsm only. all are gsm and 3g. gsm is used to oppose to cdma, not 3g.
[Shift Development] deadnex:
Aaah, I misunderstood what was written on a different ROM thread. It said GSM only... :P

Thanks
[Shift Development] i00:
That would have meant for the GSM model of the Shift only ... there are 2 models of the shift GSM and cdma. However, to my knowledge,they do both anyway (the GSM does at least .. I set mine to CDMA under the Sim/Band settings because Australia 3 runs on it .. and Roams on GSM... and here you get charged a fortune for data when roaming).

MMS

Hey i00

thanks for remaking this new rom the framework works fine now great work.

I have a few suggestion if I may,

1 add MMS to the rom if possible

2 add NETCF 3.5 Messenger the reason for this is when you get an error sometime you well get a messege say that the NETCF 3.5 messenger is missing so it cannot display the error.

3 Would it be possible to add One Note as well.

Thanks

You are doing a fantastic job thank you very much for all you effort.

God Bless
[Shift Development] hdbueller:
Does the headset mic work in this rom yet?
[Shift Development] i00:
1. Good point .. will add MMS soon... - will be about 1.5 MBs tho :(

2. Will not add the NETCF Messenger... mainly used for developers ... not enough need for it for the end user... so will save 401 KBs

3. Yes ... but i am trying to keep 30 mbs free... may put it in when i rip some more out of the ROM

Maybe you coud rework the weather some how so it work out here (In DUBBO)

Download this Cabs package, then by using USB Tool copy them to SnapVue. Install them one by one, whatever you like. This include MOBiDIV Arabizer, Prayer time, calendar, dictionary, display which change the interface into Arabic.

I love this ROM!

It works great now.

I have 2 questions:

1. The power management button is missing from the settings --> system menu. Is it a way to add it here? I want to change the settings so snapvue screen doesn't go to sleep after some time.

2. Is it a way to add disable data connection to the comm manager? I tried to install Schaps advanced config, but when adding dataconnection in the menu it didn't appear. Seems like the snapvue interface overrides everything.

Thanks anyway

finally money at work (the HTC :-)

Hi All,

first of all, thx to xda dev, you and all others involved in finally getting this shi"f"t to do what it was obviously designed to ...

Your ROM worked superbly, but before u release the next update, here some suggestions:

headset works, but the mic doesn't :confused: (HTC original ... any suggestions? can this be fixed? (((pleeeeaaaze)))

is there a way to make the USB connect a bit more ... how should I say, reliable, well sometimes it connects sometimes it doesn't ...

I had after purchase a long discussion, arguments and more with HTC (having been a really big fan of HTC up to this point), but boy was I angree when I had seen this cripple WM. Well, again, thx to all involved, I think we are all happier now than if all would have been fixed & released right in the first place :-)

Greetings to ALL.
[Shift Development] joy.d:
hehe :-) one of the goal is - that HTC cannot modify the graphic card drivers into WM for full widescreen resolution ...
[Shift Development] i00:
Yea I had a look into the ddi.dll a few days ago to try and get widescreen working - however this driver (GPE) appears to be generic .. so i doubt if it can be done without making a new driver :( (or using another compatable one)

Its a shame .. if this device used the MQ200 it would be easy (just a registry change)

If anyone could post a 800*480 driver from another device it would be appriciated..

Also if you feel like helping change this (and now your stuff) you may want to check out this, it explains how to Create a Display Driver Based on the GPE Classes (not very well though - no surprise comming from microsoft :P)
[Shift Development] i00:
Headset is secondary IMHO - it will be implemented when it is worked out - however my priority now is widescreen and SD

HTC original? - what do u mean?

I know (for alot of people at least, works fine for me) usb tool is dodge.. i do want to work out how it works and re-write it so that it just auto-connects with no interface (any knowledge on the workings of the tool would be appriciated), but until then we are stuck with the tool that was leaked from HTC :(.

[Shift Development] i00:
Power is under settings from SnapVue - if SnapVue is disabled you can find it under \Windows\Settings

If you are in Australia and on 3 you could set it to GSM only under SIM - works for me :) - I don't know about other providers though

Maybe it helps if I make a ROM Dump of a Blackstone like i do that before with a S740?
