This is pretty exciting stuff! I've booked a chunk of my Saturday to load it up. A few questions:

1. Any screenshots?

2. Any issues loading programs? Specifically Mobile Shell or Kinoma Play?

3. How's the "snappiness" compared to 6.1?

4. Any plans for the new 20322 ROM that just came out?

Thanks, trashcan!!!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ~~Tito~~:
Hey trashcan good news! I used the omnia 1% driver and it works just as described! Maybe yo can use this in your next revision :D. Just let me test it for a bit to make sure its stable.

http://www.modaco.com/content/i9x0-omnia-http-omnia-modaco-com/288676/1-driver-for-omnia-here/

I have deemed it too unstable to use.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cherrybombaz:
1. It looks the same as any other wm 6.5 rom

2. I haven't encountered any issues. If you mean spb mobile shell, that works and kinoma play works too.

3. It feels a little slower than 6.1, but a lot nicer looking and easier to use.

found a fix for that little box in the middle of the screen because of the mouse, just set the mouse timeout to never
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] atown305:
and if u wanna use ur shortcut keys but dont want to update just change all the keys to something else press ok then go back to the setting but them back to the original ones and there you go :cool:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ~~Tito~~:
Or switch it to 4 way navigator, since most of the UI is finger friendly now. :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] atown305:
yea but that box is still there on 4 way, u still have to set the timeout to never.... and how come the c something dummy didnt write?

Okay guys, I'm having problems now

I recently upgraded to Windows 7, and I cannot for the life of me get GrandPrix to detect the phone. I installed the Samsung Modem Drivers, plugged the phone in and switched to Activesync, Storage, and Modem mode to install all those available drivers. I can't install Activesync on the PC because 7 restricts it since it comes preinstalled with Windows Mobile Device Center, but that shouldn't be an issue. I have restarted the phone while plugged in to install the flashing drivers.

I have also run the Vista version and XP version of GrandPrix as Administrator, and have also tried changing the compatibility modes to XP and Vista respectively.

Any more ideas? I have restarted the PC many times, made sure WMDC wasn't running, and I even tried it while it was running. I even tried starting the phone up in each different mode.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xhaloz:
Hey man you have to do this exactly and I'm running Windows 7 as well

1. disconnected my phone USB

2. Powered off my phone

3. Shutdown mobile device center if it is running

4. start grandprix as admin and input the necessary parameters

5. click on detect in Grandprix

6. connect the USB to the phone again

7. turn on the power to the phone.

You miss a step you miss a flash.........READ IT WORD FOR WORD
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] BWheezy:
23081 is awesome, my only complaint is that it doesn't work with the VGA patch very well (the home screen has no icon files for the bottom or top bars in the higher DPI format) All other menus etc work with the VGA patch, and it works fine without VGA, but I really would rather have VGA working if it's possible somehow to get the icons etc to make the top and bottom bars work right. For now I'm just using it in non-VGA and it's probably the best ROM so far that way.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] XSafire:
Wow, Thanks. Managed to work it out. For some reason clicking detect on GrandPrix then connecting it to my powered off phone first, then turning it on worked.

I would also like to make it clear to future users with Windows 7 problems

Setting up GrandPrix Correctly for Windows 7

-You need to use the Vista version on GrandPrix, in Vista SP2 Compatibility mode

-Right click on GrandPrix Vista, Properties>Compatibility>Check "Run this program in compatibility mode for:">Windows Vista Service Pack 2. OK

-Right click on GrandPrix Vista, select "Run as Administrator", if UAC is enabled click OK to the pop up that comes up.

-Make sure your device is powered of AND disconnected from your computer before you click "detect" in GrandPrix

Hope this helps.

im a bit dissapointed in the new build. i didnt see too many changes to the os. it is more finger friendly tho
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Snickolaz:
I installed the new build last night. I'm liking it so far. But for me most of the buttons weren't mapped to anything. Like the web button and the calendar I think. Most importantly the camera button isn't mapped. I tried to find it when you go and edit the buttons, but I don't see a camera option. Anybody else have this problem?

Why do you think Samsung will provide 6.5 upgrade?

We know AT&T have officically dropped the Epix. Why do you think Samsung will provide the 6.5 upgrade? There is only good will to gain and nothing else.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] PDA-Geek:
Power-save... Am I missing something?

I'm a long time browser, first time poster to the XDA forums.

For almost a year now I've been the owner of a Samsung Epix, and haven't always been happy with it (be it the device or WinMo 6.1 Pro, I've never been able to detach from one another), but have always been hopeful that better times would eventually come.

As of yesterday I'm using the 23081_15pp.bin ROM on my device, and I have to say, so far so good.

The only thing I haven't been able to figure out is how to keep the device's LCD off while listening to music via Media Player.

Previously, I would attach my BlueTooth headset, fire up Media Player, and roughly 60 seconds into the first track, the LCD would get dim. Then about 60 seconds later, the LCD would go out.

Now, about 60 seconds into the first track, the LCD still gets dim, but it never goes fully out. Of course, this is equating to a lesser battery life during the day, as I'm grinding away at my sys-admin duties while pumping music into my head. It's not a horrible deal-break so far, since I can just USB the device to my workstation to get things recharging. But of course will eventually become an inconvenience, the day I'm on the road, working on hardware in the datacenter, or some other predicament that keeps me from being able to plug the device in for some time.

I've fiddled and fuddled with the power options to no end, and just can't figure out what I'm missing here. There must be a way to tell the device to simply shutdown the LCD screen, like it used to do, while I'm just listening to music.

Any help would be most appreciated, :)

And to the poster of the ROM bins, thank you thank you thank you! Maybe I'll finally love my Epix now that it's been bumped up to WinMo 6.5, :D

My phone just told me my battery is low. That was strange... Anybody else have any problems with IE? I can get my emails and get on the internet with other apps, just not IE. Any suggestions on that?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] andyastandyast:
I had the same problem, but I found a hidden camera.exe in the \windows folder. I added a shortcut to the programs menu folder and then I could map the button to that program and the camera works like a charm.

FYI: You may need a different file explorer to find this file, I use an extension called "HouMing File Explore Extension" (allows sorting by dates etc.).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xhaloz:
Me neither

I'm not too impressed either man....the bugs in this new build so far

1 - As trashcan stated mouse rendering still an issue

2 - MMS settings don't work (not even the ones I've posted before)

3 - Internet explorer doesn't work (don't know what settings to use I've tried previous ones)

4 - SENDING MMS creates a lag and the spinning logo stays on the middle of the screen

5 - Can't view photos from the home screen (certificate error)

I hope these help for the next release hopefully Samsung has a grip on their official release..I'm sure they have plenty beta testers
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mudman4x4:
I have been using many different builds for the Epix but this current one has me stumped. I cannot get the IE to connect no matter what settings I use. I can however connect to my Exchange server and sync (over the cell, not WiFi) but other than that, nothing. If anyone has any insight on this, please let me know.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] PDA-Geek:
My bad. I guess I should have included that I'm already doing the hit-the-power-button manually as each track starts, forseeing this type of response, :)

As each track starts the LCD comes back in dim-mode.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xhaloz:
Same problem see my post above
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pgens:
Perhaps they want to catch up with the good service of other smartphone providers. Does AT&T still sell the iPhone 2G? No, but all the OS updates work on it. Does AT&T still sell non-GPS-enabled BB Pearls and Curves? I don't think so, yet RIM still releases updates that work for them. Android devices can upgrade.

Call it good will, I call it establishing an expectation that your Windows Mobile phone isn't a dead end when you buy it. Just about every smartphone OS has surpassed Microsoft. Microsoft needs to jettison the practice of leaving customers with phones that will never see improvements. Every phone should see at least one OS upgrade (not counting bug fixes).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mudman4x4:
I believe the problem is Internet Explorer driven. I did a hard reset, basically to let the phone itself re-do the internet connections, then soft reset, then setup my Exchange server. Everything works flawlessly with data over 3G, except IE. I do not have a cab for skyfire but when I get one I will see if it works.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Snickolaz:
Yep I have the exact same problem. I even installed PockeTwit, and that works just fine. Plus every other app that goes to the internet. Just IE doesn't work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] acabtp:
Microsoft updates WinMo fairly often. It is not like on the PC where there is just one architecture that needs to be supported; it is up to the vendors and carriers to work together to get those updates onto the phones.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] technode:
I had this problem as well, and was able to get IE working by cycling the external proxy settings. It was off by default, so I turned it back on, then went in and turned it off again. I was then able to browse to websites over 3G without issue.

The proxy settings can be found by going to Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Proxy Manager.

I'm curious if the phone configuring the internet connections is breaking something with the proxy software configuration.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] XSafire:
Changes I've noticed in this build

Changes

-When you tap the top icon bar, all the icons are correct, instead of incorrect icons for some programs (compared to the last build).

-The "Send" and "Reply" buttons when using Text message are correct images

-Almost all the dimensions are correct for text (IE: wifi settings, Home settings, the buttons on the bottom bar, etc) Compared to the last build.

-Many icon fixes

-The themes (Start>Settings>Home) are much nicer and fitted for the device, mainly the bottom bar skins.

-When editing a contact, it has been redesigned to display only relevant information that average people use. Stuff like "Military ID, Spouse, Children, IM, Address" aren't displayed. You can of course choose to edit these if you wish using Advanced Settings.

-more as I find them

Bugs

-When opening images from the File Explorer, I get a "Corrupted" message, although I can easily view the images from the Pictures & Videos app

-Still some dimension issues, but not many.

-Shortcut keys (Such as camera) are not assigned by default.

-more as I find them

Overall it is much better then the last build, and much more easy to use.

i have tried that and i still couldn't get it to work with windows 7 till i tried to set compatibility mode to windows xp service pack 3 and then it did, hopefully this will help anyone who is still haveing problems getting it to work in windows 7
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] PDA-Geek:
Excellent, can't wait to try it.

Currently I'm running with the 23081_15pp.bin ROM on my Epix from a couple days ago, and I'm liking it.

The only gotcha I've run into, is I'm running into out-of-memory errors here and there. The latest occurrence was after I opened my playlist via Media Player.

The Playlist opened fine when the device had 6.1 on it, so I figured it was a compatibility problem. I rescanned my library, and created a new playlist, but no change.

The playlist has roughly 1500 mp3s in it.

I've got an 8GB card in the device, which I only use for my MP3s and a couple apps, so there's about 2GB available.

Is there anyway to tell WinMo to go and snag some of the storage space I have available as virtual-memory, similar to the pagefile in desktop-windows or swap-space in a Unix environment?

Latest Build Problems

I got the updated 23081 build and flashed this morning. And the issues that I had seen with the previous build are fixed. Whee!! I am experiencing a couple of issues that I didn't with the previous 23081 build.

1. ActiveSync tries to use the data connection when wifi is disabled or device is suspended.

- Previously it would just not connect, maybe this is a feature, but it wakes up the device trying to connect the MediaNet

2. The "Do Not User a proxy server" option is not checked and won't save.

- IE works just fine over the wifi, so I am less concerned about this.

Any ideas on the first option would be nice.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Snickolaz:
I would like to see IE work over MediaNet since most time I use it I'm not around any wifi. But the first problem you have is pretty strange. I sync to Exchange so it's always using the MediaNet connection.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lifanus:
You can't use 3G on Tmobile because Tmobile uses both 1700MHz and 2100MHz frequency for their 3G signal, and rest of the world use 850 or 1900MHz (AT&T & Europe)

23081 updated

Thanks Trashcan for your work here is what is happening to mi epix

After 4 epix bricked hopefully I flashed to the updated 23081 but still the problem mentioned in the earlier version

1- Internet still no work using the WiFi.

say Cannot fine the server or DNS Error Internet explorer.

2- The theme icon in settings don't have action when is clicked don't do nothing, can't change the theme

3- some windows don't display totally

4- the mouse show up in the Internet even you are using 4 way navigation.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Laserdj:
Awesome rebuild, I can now open attachments in all emails, i can now get notifications from hotmail that a new message arrived, also can now open pictures right from the source, the only thing so far is i still can not get pictures/attachments from text mesages. Internet is much faster ans the entire phone is so much more stable. Thanks for your hard work. I finally have a smartphone i love after 6 yrs of many models/makes!!! If you fix the text msgs and the weird mouse ghosting you have the perfect wm phone!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] XSafire:
1. Has something to do with proxy settings, I don't have clear instruction on that one... Mess around in Start>Settings>Connections>Connections

2. Start>Settings>Home for theme editing. The one you are talking about is basically just the application that was left over from 6.1 and it doesn't work with 6.5

3. Example? I haven't had this problem.

4. Make sure you go to the Mouse Start>Settings>System, change it to mouse, move the mouse in the bottom left hand corner. Then go back to the mouse application and change it to 4 way navigation.

I don't know if that's the problem, but that's the only advise I have.

I fixed the first issue by installing the NODATA app.

updated 23081

XSafire thanks I made the Internet to work after tray to many different thing I don't know what I did but is working.

The other situation is when you are in the Internet with the Internet explorer open you can see the mouse arrow in the middle of the scree even your settings are set to use 4 way navigation,the mouse move slowly and go away after a bit.

You said the theme icon is a left over from the 6.1,so how you change the theme in the 6.5 for example I want to use a different one.

I believe the room acct deferent in every one phone shouldn't be but look like that.Like in the PC the files missing,bad flashing etc

thanks again XSafire.

Issues with the 23081 build

Hey there, thanks for working on the WM6.5 for the Epix, I appreciate it. It works fine for the most part, but I'm also experiencing some issues:

note: regarding system apps, I'm running SPB home 3.01, clean-startup-and-shutdown.cab, chgfingermouse.cab, Zenyee Notif Blinker.cab

I have all power saving options turned on (SD, MMC...). I also tried turning them off, but problems remained.

1. Random freezes (in 23052 and 23081): at least once a day the screen will stay black, and the phone can not be turned on. If I call the phone from another line, I (caller) would hear only the normal call tone, as if I let it ring. Epix stays black and quiet during incoming call. Sometimes the phone wakes up (incoming call or not) after plugging it into power (power management issue?), but crashes and reboots shortly afterwards.

2. Incoming call problem (FIXED): after upgrading from 23052 to 23081 and reloading the SPB backup file the phone would usually show the incoming call for only a second, would not show the caller ID, and would leave a call from unknown number in the call list. Caller would hear only the normal call tone, as if I let it ring. Fixed (I hope) by reflashing 23081 and installing all the apps again manually (not by reloading backup).

3. Annoying senility ;) (appeared in 23081) Phone keeps forgetting settings after reboot: Regional settings time format (keeps resetting to first option), Incoming call ring tone keeps resetting to AT&T tone, incoming txt message keeps resetting to Alarm3.wma. I thought these settings are in the registry. How can they be reset after every reboot?

EDIT: after Googling for the problem it seems it's a ROM bug (appeared before in Black ROM builds for a HTC model). Workaround: installed the freeware Profiles app, and told it to restore the last profile (with desired ringtones) after every WM restart (http://www.winmobileapps.com/device/pocketpc/pwm/pwm_download.aspx)

Thanks for the tips, fixes and comments! :)

I still have the same issue whit the mouse, now show in the home screen even I have 4 ways navigation in the settings. and start to get freeze I have to turn it of
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Michael Entin:
For me it also boots with the mouse, even though the setting say '4 way navigation'. I have to ENABLE mouse, then DISABLE it again - this solves the problem. The only annoyance it has to be repeated after each reboot, but the builds seems more or less stable, I had to pull the battery only once so far.:cool:

Anyone knows what's up with Media Player? It keeps the screen active all the time, draining the battery. If I turn off the screen myself, Media Player immediately stops playing music.

Free tip:

Don't let your epix fall on the floor and hit charger first. I now have an epix that will work right up until the battery dies. Doesn't look good for fixing it either, the port is so small and a couple pads on the PCB look pulled up. If anyone's got a busted screen/case/etc phone that has a good mainboard hit me up.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hizhonor:
I was having the same issues. Did a fresh flash with the latest 23081. But this time, I didn't restore from a SPB back up. Instead, I've been manually adding apps I want/need. So far so good!

I've not had any lockups when hitting the volume rocker. Use to get 5 or 6 of those a day. That's a big improvement. No black screen lockups either.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] blazzr:
Get a standalone charger (they were shipping it with SGH-i780, the Euro version of Epix ) as a workaround for the charging problem. Activesync also works over Bluetooth.

You might be able to get an Epix with a busted screen on ebay.
