Yeah it is crazy I have only been here for like 6 months and it is an adjustment indeed. The sun goes down at like 12:30-1:00 am and is back up around 3:30am. It will take awhile to get used to it but then comes winter with like 4 hours of daylight. The "other USA" you have no idea how many people dont even understand Alaska is a state. With it being summer and people traveling up from the lower 48 I have at least 10 people a day ask where they can exchange U.S dollars for Alaskan money:rolleyes:. Half tempted to tell them " Right Here with an exchange rate of 20 to 1. Your 20 to my 1:D"

I think if you search pjcforpres's posts, you will see one from about two weeks ago or so in which he explained the steps necessary to condition your battery. I don't have this issue, so I don't have it bookmarked. It referred to him being cell phone company employee or tech and that he knew the information was accurate about completely draining your battery before recharging. Please search for his post to get the most accurate info. Thanks.

6.1 CHome only. I installed the AudioPara file to increase the volume. Tried all music players today. Nitrogen half a song and done, Audio Manager quarter of a song and done, Media Player never opened. Played music in Coreplayer with no problems. Anyone tried the increased volume on 6.1 CHome only?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Thermopyle:
That's some crappy upload speed you've got there!

Anyway...Running 6.0 and all of a sudden when I plug a USB cable in it has stopped asking if it should do activesync or internet sharing...it goes straight to internet sharing.

Anyone have any ideas how to fix that?

I use it all the time. Did you Flash Stock Rom, Hard reset, Flash 6.1, Hard Reset? What radio and SPL are you using?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] pjcforpres:
I have almost every version of Skyfire on my SD card... I never get rid of old stuff unless the new stuff proves itself, and even then, eh, I have an 8gig card, so room really isn't an issue. I did try an older version, and it works just fine! I still wish I could find out why the new version worked just fine for almost an entire day, then just stopped... all well, no big deal, I liked the older version I am running now more than the new one.

And as for conditioning the battery I will give the run down again...

Run your battery down as much as possible, until the phone dies and shuts itself off is best... Pull the battery out of the phone and let it sit for about 30 seconds to discharge the circuits, then put the battery back in the phone... Don't turn on the phone, just put it on your charger, and let it get a full charge, usually takes a couple hours.

What this does is reset the micro chip in the battery and the circuit in the phone that lets it read the battery level. It won't fix every "bad" battery, it only fixes the most common issue of the battery not reading it's level correctly.

I know this from experience as being a cell phone salesman, with trouble shooting being a large part of what I do. I read as much as I can on different phones and issues and so forth. About 90% of the customers I have complaining about their battery being a bad battery fix the issue by doing this simple conditioning of the battery.

As well, while these batteries are Li Ion, and less prone to truly being damaged by over charging, and charging too early, they can still get hurt by it, but mostly what happens is that they stop reading their actual charge level correctly because if you put it on the charger every day at 50% it will eventually start to think 50% is actually 5% type thing, or in extreme cases, will actually no longer be able to discharge that remaining 50% because it hasn't in ages, and the chemical reaction no longer works.

Not sure if any of you have ever bought a BlackBerry, but if you have, you would have gotten your BB with only 10% charge on the battery out of the box. They do that on purpose to force the first full charge to be a proper one that conditions and sets the micro chip properly. As well, it is recommended in the tech binder I have from BB and HTC and Nokia, and you get the point, that even with Li Ion batteries that we advice the customer to follow the procedures I just explained, and to try to make sure they only charge their battery when it has less than 10% left on it, and to make sure they try and make sure it gets fully charged before they take it off. They also say that the best way to charge is with the phone turned off, as the battery won't get as hot, and it will also calibrate the battery reader best this way.

LOL, I hear you there. Couldn't pinpoint why I liked the older version better, but the newer version just didn't seem as fast or as reliable. Now that the newer version doesn't work on Shane's ROMs, I'm actually pretty damn happy! Glad you got it working though. I prefer Skyfire over the other browsers by far.

Yes.Yes.Yes.Yes. -1.70.19.09(I had been running 1.59.46.12 on phone but decided to try this one out) 3.34.

Radio & Battery

I love it!!!

I have broken ranks with the standard radio recommendation and I have been running 1.59.46.12. This is a newer radio than the 1.65, 1.70, 1.71 series radios. My initial observations are very positive. The Battery usage and normal reception are comparable to 1.70.18.02 and Edge rates are the same but 3g is better! For the first time, I actually got 600 kbps here at home!:D:D Unfortunately, it is still intermittent (not much "inter" - mostly "mittent") :).

Traitor!:eek: You get me to try the new radio and then you go BACK! <grin>

Did you have some problem with the 1.59.12 radio?

Ray
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] zelendel:
It is rare to happen but could be a bad flash or download. So here is my advise. Redownload the file fresh and reflash. Stock and then 6.1. And if you want to be really sure then Stock, SPL, Radio, 6.1
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] zelendel:
I feel you, I spent a few years in G-Vill Florida, going to school and god signal sucked. I noticed that you have mentioned that radio a few times. Might give it a whirl tonight when I am testing out roms.

Stuck at splash screen for Elite v6.1

I feel like I haven't searched through the thread enough, but nobody else seems to have had a problem like this:

I flashed the elite 6.1 (with just CHome) using radio 1.71.09.01 and hardSPL 3.56, and around 65% activesync disconnected from my kaiser.

I tried a soft reset and got the bootloading screen, so then using mtty I ordered a reformat.

And now I'm stuck at the tpc splash screen. I feel like I've hit a pretty big brick wall here, can you pros help a guy out? :confused:

Should I try that radio and SPL? I'm having battery issues sometimes. But my main issue is during calls. Whenever I talk to someone on the phone, it'll just turn itself off for no reason. It can be on all day no problem, but talk to someone on the phone? BOOM! There it goes.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] raywaldo:
family

I totally agree Mikulec! If we never saw another new rom, it would not be the end of the world. (Although some of us would be hitting f5 for the next two months as we go thru withdrawal!) And the Rom Flashers Anon (RFA) meetings would have to resume!

But if we fail to spend quality time with our families, we WILL lose. Thank you TPC for spending quality time with your wife & family. *WE* will benefit from your continued family happiness. And, of course, if you don't have a job, you might not be able to afford to feed us the quality roms that you produce. THANK YOU!

"Be well, do good work & keep in touch." Garrison Keiler

Edit:

It is generally understood (maybe in the faq?) that before you ask for help, you should try to eliminate known issues yourself. One of the more common solutions is to use a standard radio/spl on one of the published roms. So, yes, it would be appropriate to flash that combo and THEN if you continue to have problems, ask here.

*AFTER* you have a good working rom/radio/spl, it is sometimes fun to experiment with others to see if you can improve. That is what I (and many others) do. But when you experience problems, revert back to the "last known good configuration" before reporting a "bug."

How to disable slide to unlock?

Guys,

Running this rom now for a day and it's amazing how this device changed! Realy Cool! BUT I found something annoying. I sync mail from the exchange server at the office remotely. Exchange pushes a policy to every pda/user that locks the device after x minutes. That's fine to me, but now I also have to move the unlock slider first before I can type my pin. Is there a way to disable the slide to unlock function?

Thanks!

Its good for all of us flash addicts to do a good TPC detox.

Now everyone stay strong dont lower yourself to find some halfbacked rom and slap TPC welcomehead on it cause the only person youll be hurting is yourself stay strong the shaking hands and constant twitching at the sign of a F5 key will go away.

I haven't been able to get Activesync to detect the phone and for some reason my SD card causes explorer to freeze when I put it into a card reader. I guess my first problem is that I can't get the phone connected to the pc.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] raywaldo:
sd card issues

I suggest that you put the sd card into a reader on your pc and if it will not read, then reformat it. It is easy to get the File Allocation Table (FAT) corrupted if you move the card before any write operations are complete. I keep SEVERAL MicroSD cards on hand to switch. You can buy a small one for practically nothing - even at Walmart. Get a new card and use it exclusively to flash your device.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] anagarika:
Shane,

Totally agree, family and your personal life & earning a living should come first! Otherwise, you won't have the peace of mind to create such a great work!

I'm reporting back (pls bear with me, still on 6.1 FULL)

I hope you don't take this as nagging. I'm reporting back because it baffled me, and because I like your ROM! However, IMHO, a good phone should work well for basic phone functins, & SIM PIN is one of it.

To resolve the SIM PIN issue, I did this today: flash OEM (from Josh'), HR, flash V6.1 HR. Prevously, I did this too as the result of the other thread discussion. I mention it again so you know the issue is not from not flashing OEM.

Proceeded throughout the day installing & configuring my apps, mostly with reboot every time to ensure it still working. Didn't turn on M2D. I add one more cab :Devicelock.cab to replace S2U2. All still well.

The last one installed were Mapking, WifiMonster. Mapking put one Startup item, that has to do with SMS. I rebooted. The SIM PIN stopped working. Removed the Mapking shortcut from startup, it worked again.

Now, I thought I had found the culprit. I turned on M2D, worked ok. Put on my theme with analog clock, still ok. Thought to test S2U2, I installed Sprite Backup, so that in case it screwed up, I'd HR and restore it. Listen to music using Audio Manager, created one playlist with 3 songs. Devicelock works well. Not yet run any backup (I thought, later, at home)

Now, wanting to report it works so far, I turn device off, swap SIM (cause it's cheaper than my regular). Booted up, SIM PIN GONE!. I swapped back the other SIM, still gone. I tried disabling PIN from phone setting, rebooted, enabling again, rebooted, still gone.

My observation is: it's unstable (refer to MApKing startup above) and easily disturbed. On CHome, it could be reverted, but not on Manila. Once broken, no way to get it back. Now I have to go back to ny false startup item :)

Note, I haven't really tried Zel's version, cause I like your M2D. Haven't changed my sig. yet.

I hope this brings something, and if you have pointers at the registry for me to try tweaking, I'll do that. For now, I'm quite burned testing this throughout the day.

As I said, the ROM is great, which is why I persisted ;) THANKS!

Side note: when Audio Manager playing, device won't go sleeping, I have to manually put it sleep (noticed since V5.1). No big deal.

Also, the hardware key turned on won't stay if rebooted & if sound changed profile (i.e. normal to vibrate, then back normal).
