Solid so far

So I'm new to the Epix in general and WinMo6.5 28008 is the first thing. I've been doing a lot of research and have a couple of questions:

1) Someone mentioned the EpixWiki, which is down now. But there was a "Performance Cab" on there, have these tweaks already been integrated and if not, where can I find them/are they still useful?

2) Does the EpixVGA/High-DPI fix still work with WinMo6.5? I went into the settings and reduced the text size under screen settings and most things look right but most main/thumb-friendly things are still HUGE. I know EpixVGA is based off of RealVGA + 96DPI icons, does this still work on 6.5 and is there a set of 96DPI icons for 6.5(I assume they are different)??

I had a problem with radio after flash. Flash by Grandpix only PHONE. All passed successfully and the program wrote ... Done. After a restart radio left off to be included. I flash again, but writes an error ... port create failed. Who can knows how to decide my problem. Wanted what it was better, but spoiled. Help please.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Cascade2:
If someone is on the sidelines interested in the Epix, I will sell mine for cheap. It's running 6.5 - I can flash to whatever version you want. Battery cover and port cover are a little scratched up but work just fine. Screen and the rest of the phone is perfect - it's had a protector on it since the day it was new. Accessories included. PM if interested. Pics available.

By the way, thanks Trashcan for all your work on this! Made it a much better phone for sure. A part of the sale of this will go back to him !

Thank YOU! You're the Epix saviour :)

You must select PDA when flashing with this ROM, *not* PHONE!

How to fix it: (start with a full battery)

1. hard reset (turn Epix off, hold the "H" key, turn on Epix, follow instructions)

2. download older system (WM 6.1 ID1 update from Samsung) and run it (it will flash Epix by itself, no need for Grandprix):

http://www.mysamsungepix.com/the-basics/samsung-epix-id1-software-update/

3. hard reset (turn Epix off, hold the "H" key, turn on Epix, follow instructions)

4. flash with WM6.5 28008 ROM with Grandprix software, but this time select *PDA* !

ROM 28008 issues

The annoying ringtone bugs are gone, also I had only one freeze yet (messing with the MMS app).

I did a fresh install of my sw and settings (didn't use an old system backup).

Noticed bugs:

- after installing Gmail and restarting, JBlend Java no longer works (shortcut is gone, manually starting Jblend via explorer doesn't work: the hourglass dots appear for a few seconds as if it was starting, but nothing happens)

- backlight timeout doesn't work: screen stays on (Settings/System/Backlight -> 10s timeout on battery has no effect). Power saving (Settings/Power/Advanced) work - screen turns off after 1 minute.

- Advanced Config 3.3 no longer works: throws an error (PlatformNotSupportedException)

Thanks again for the new and better version!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hizhonor:
I too want to say thanks for the efforts put forth with this version.

I have noticed a couple of items that coincidentally started after the most recent flash to 28008. It could still be a nut loose on the keyboard ...

Not that I use it much at all as I really prefer Opera 10 and Skyfire which fire right up, but is anyone else having issues with IE? It no longer makes a connection. I've not had any issues with the ROMs prior to 28008 using IE. An option setting I've missed or perhaps a registry entry I should poke?

Also, with the new top taskbar, I see E more than see H or 3G. Not sure if St. Louis is having 3G issues and the indicators are showing a true status or if this has more to do with adding in the HSDPA switch.

And mentioned earlier in this thread, the ability to set the FN keys seems to have disappeared.

Anyone else?

Steve
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Snickolaz:
I've been noticing mine going to H recently, but it jumps back to 3G a lot. But I haven't noticed it dropping to E more than usual. But hey if MO is getting more HSPDA coverage that's awesome! I work in an older building so there's always been those spots that reception is spotty.

Voicemail

Anyone having issues with voice mail? Everytime I get the internet / data connection to work, my voice mail doesn't get fowarded to my mailbox. Instead, when people call me, they get "welcome to ATT voice mail, we need more information..blahblahblah"

But when ATT fixes my voice mail forwarding issue, i can't download any MMS.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] blazzr:
IE does have some problems connecting in 28008: it can take up to a minute to get a connection, but after that it works. You just need to be patient.

But if you immediately get a message "cannot connect with current settings" or something like that, go to WM Settings (not IE settings), Connections, Proxy Manager and *clear* the little box next to "Do not use a proxy"... this setting is exclusively for IE.

Yeah, and the MMS still don't work for me :) Epix shows it's connecting with the right APN (mms...), and then fails. I tried with ARCsoft MMS, same story.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] BoZhe:
Than differs HARD RESET by "hold the" H "key, turn on Epix" and HARD RESET by "START> SETTING> SYSTEM> HARD RESET". I tried to make by "START> SETTING> SYSTEM> HARD RESET", but phone asked turn on radio and to try again. But radio not turn on.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] prp190:
In 6.1, its possible to tell if fn key or caps key is enabled for a single input or contiuous input by looking at an indicator nexto the keyboard icon. In 6.5.3, it does not seem like its possible to know if fn/caps is enabled at all. Is there a fix for this?

And secondly, the font is different on different pages in IE. for instance, news.google.com its about the right size when the font size is set to smallest, and the zoomer is zoomed out completely. but in gmail, its about the right size when the font size is set to medium, and the zoomer is zoomed out completely. again, is there a fix for this?

Hi All,

Trashcan great rom !! I updated last week and it works beautifully. I have though some requests. Is there way in the registry to adjust outlook to 1-3 minutes for picking up mail from the default of 5 minutes, I would like to be able to get mail on a more frequent basis ?

Is there way to initialize for IMAP configuration the Idle feature so the account is always connected. I know there are other programs like Flexmail or Profimail But I tend to like the built in programs.

Also on the next build can you support Skyfire instead of IE much much faster and better !

HI All,

I just came across a small bug and not sure in anyone else has experienced it.

I have phone alarm and skyfire and pocket informant appointments on my today screen. I am using classic blue.

the order is

Phonealarm

skyfire

appointments

the problem is that is I scroll down to the appointments and if phonealarm scrolls up so it goes off the screen I cannot see to scroll up to get back the screen. the only way is to shut off the phone and restart. Anybody have a workaround or ran into this problem ?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dreamfly555:
Thanks a lot, trashcan

I have been on the sideline, resisting and waiting for the official version. But your Chinese viewing capability finally got me. Please don't remove it in your next build. I don't see any harm of having that.

As another person reported, the LCD timeout simply didn't work. I had to mess with many registries that I don't remember to get it to blank the screen.

Also please put a better PDF reader (I think you did put the Adobe reader before) in it. The built-in one isn't that good.

Thanks a lot!

One more thing: how can I get the Enhanced GPS settings to work? I tried clicking the "XTRA data download" button, but it gives up and reports failure after about 10 seconds.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dreamfly555:
Here are some of the registries that I messed with:

http://www.wiseworm.com/index.php/2009/10/06/samsung-omnia-backlight-fix/

http://www.careace.net/2009/03/11/reduce-backlight-uptime-and-conserve-energy/

I don't know which registries made the difference as I have to power off/on the Epix to find out so I changed a few of them at a time. Now my Epix's blacklight will go off in about 10 seconds, no matter what. It's not ideal but at least I won't run out of juice before the end of the day, especially when I am at work using active-sync the whole day.

Just tried the PocketXpdf and it ran out of memory loading the California 2009 Fishing Regulation. The native one doesn't but it has problem rendering some pages. Still searching a better one.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] blazzr:
Sorry about the pdf reader.

Backlight hack:

this one works!

http://www.wiseworm.com/index.php/2009/10/06/samsung-omnia-backlight-fix/

I didn't even need to restart! I just changed this setting with the built in PHM registry editor:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\BacklightOff]

“bkl1:”=dword:00000003

And after ten seconds the screen went off! I tapped the screen and it turned on again :) Thanks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Michael Entin:
Someone posted a workaround at mysamsungepix:

Run GpsTest.exe (in Windows folder), set GPS mode to Stand-alone.

Works for me, and solved the problem with draining battery.

I did not check which registry is changed, but probably it is possible to include the fix in next ROM, it trashcan is kind enough :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dreamfly555:
Which one is the back button on the Epix

I am almost too embarrassed to ask. In the Blackjack II, there is a "back" or "return" button that you can return to the previous screen, like the Back button on the browser. Do we even have that button on the Epix? It seems like it's a function of Windows Mobile. So if we don't have it, can we write a simple app to call that function and assign a button to run that simple app?

Sorry to hijack this thread but couldn't find any references to this on the web.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hizhonor:
Gee .. quoting myself, now. Thought this would be the best way to keep thoughts together.

The 3G issue seems to have been a St. Louis area issue. After a couple of days, the familiar 3G and H have been showing up with regularity. No sign of just an E.

I would like a suggestion or two on the IE question, however. I did check that the proxy box is not checked as suggested earlier in the thread, but it's still unable to make a connection to the internet. Skyfire and Opera work just dandy.

Thanks,

Steve
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] BeyondTenor:
I noticed that it likes to give me problems with MMS. I can download MMS fine. If I use the internet/email at all, I have to go into my wireless settings and then off/on the phone's radio. Then I can download MMS again. If I don't off/on the radio it always fails. The opposite is true. If I use MMS, I have to off/on the radio to get internet/email to work correctly.

I've also noticed a few little bugs that cause it freeze on rare occassion. No idea what sets that off.

As for a GPS fix, I tried that work around, and now I can't hit a single GPS satellite. Until I got my replacement phone, I was using Pre-ID1 (never updated that way to avoid the crippled GPS) but the replacement (my charging port broke somehow) is ID1 and no matter what I change the GPS malfunctions. It will work if I leave it as set by default, but then the battery drain happens. We need to find a .bin for the phone so we can update that using GrandPrix, or roll back rather, to the Pre-ID1. I believe that GH5? Anyone have the ability to give us that .bin file? Trashcan?

As far as the FN Key Settings, there is a hidden app in the windows folder called FNKeySettings. Just add a shortcut and you are good to go.

Great job, Trashcan! The Epix is no longer my primary device, but its nice to know that its capable of running 6.5.3 and higher builds. thanks for the hard work! I got this installed, and for the most part, it seems to do most of the things that I would need it to. I haven't used GPS yet, as I have it working on my primary device (HTC Kaiser with a cooked ROM from another XDA forum).

Again, GREAT job!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] generalfirefox:
Great, but is anyone else having issues with Epix Text Notifications in general?

Thanks. I too was hesitant to update my Epix to Windows Mobile 6.5, but with the new 28008 release I couldn't help it anymore. Great work Trashcan! I'm loving it!

One issue I have noticed with my Epix in general (not specific to just Windows Mobile 6.5 as it had the same problem when running Windows Mobile 6.1) is that no matter how many times I change the "Sounds & Notifications" settings so that when I receive a new text message it will only play the sound and vibrate, whenever I restart my device the "Display message on screen" option always reactivates. This is incredibly annoying because I hate having to change the setting every time I turn on my device. I hate that notification setting because it always interrupts whatever I'm doing on my device at the moment when I receive a text. I even found the correct key in the registry to change that setting ([HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{CLSID}]) and changed it to the correct setting myself manually, but it still always goes back to activating that option every time I soft reset my device. Has anyone else experienced this issue and/or found a way to fix it? Or, does anyone know how to make a change to the registry and/or run a "*.reg" file at startup? I've heard that you can use Resco Explorer to do this, but I wouldn't know exactly how, and I don't want a program to come up when it imports the registry key, I just want it to add it. and then continue with the startup processes. Any ideas? Thanks!

Samsung i907 Epix Windows Mobile 6.5 28008...

As I just started to get used to the new WM6.5 interface, at some point my Outlook ActiveSync would stop synchronize with the corporate e-mail. I soft-reset the phone and ALL MY OUTLOOK E-MAILS DESSAPEARED AND ALL PERSONAL EMAILS (YAHOO, GMAIL, EXCEPT FOR HOTMAIL) GOT DROPPED, AND ALL MY TEXT MESSAGES GOT ERASED... What kind of problem is that.. I redid the steps for corp e-mail activation but it still shows me as "connected" in Activesync and NO emails...also I can't see the Outlook account in my account options... A total mess!!! Is this a build or this is my phone? Never had these problem with WM 6.1... I spent 6 hrs last night re-configuring/reinstalling everything for WM6.5 and now sounds like I need to hard reset my phone? Thanks.

Shortcuts as Fn+Key...

I found the file FNKeySettings file in the Windows folder and used it to assign shortcuts. BUT I wasn't able to set the Media Player as a shortcut, it's not listed as an option. So now i have to scroll and browse around to open a Media Player (I have to go and actually find it in the "Applications" instead of shortcutting (i.e. Fn+P). Is there any way to be able to assign Media Player to a FN+button?

Another question can I change the skin on the Media Player...the buttons look too tiny for a touchscreen interface... the MP on the prev version had big button.. Thanks... Other than that so far so good. so far...

Great!

VinceInSeattle/ me neither. I also have same error message with enhanced GPS.

I have installed 28008 ROM. It is really great and much better than Samsung's original ROM. The weired things I found are...

1. Enhanced GPS does not working. I am keep receiving error message as same as VinceInSeattle has.

2. In lock mode(holding endkey), playing mp3 is bumpy. High quality mp3(eg. 192 kbps) file is worse than low quality mp3. But, when I set password key, this problem disappears. Also, when I push power(sleep) key on the left side, Windows media player just stopped. Yet, as I remember, media player doesn't stop playing musing with original Samsung ROM even it is on sleep mode.

Even though above things, I can say this is much better than original one. I appreciate it, Trashcan!! Thank you.
