March!?! No wonder it is not on the list of phones that are officially getting the update that came out today:

http://www.wmexperts.com/list-us-windows-phones-be-officially-updated-windows-mobile-65

Looks like I'll have to install one of these roms afterall!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] BWheezy:
They changed the list if you look at the link again. Mirage was the code name for the Epix for a while (or at least what people thought would be the Epix). The Epix has been on the list since the start as it meets all the "6.5 requirements".
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hoangnguyen86vn:
with one is better

i dont understand what is different between

WM6.5 build 23017 vs

WM6.5 build 23017 15mb page pool

i see that there are some bugs on 23052. are there any improvement over 23017 ???
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] BWheezy:
The 15mb page pool is like a cache ram for the kernel files of the operating system. The Epix has a huge amount of ram compared to most winmo devices so 15mb of page pool increases the performance without giving up too much ram for program files.

23052's bugs are pretty minor, and it has a number of new features interface wise (the new "soft buttons" at the bottom etc). 23017 15mb page pool is definitely the best performer with the least amount of issues but 23052 is excellent as well and is the ROM I use daily now, I tried several in between and kept going back to 23017 until 23052 came out.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] drewopo77:
if you are still,l having problems i can think of two possibility's that it might be, 1. On the post that has the settings for mms, i found that i had to have it set to "the internet" and not "my isp" under the connect via setting i did that and it downloaded all my mms messages

the other one was that some of mine came up like u said, "message not found' and that was for one's that have been waiting for awhile to download they get deleted off the server hopefully that will help you out
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ScottyNuttz:
I didn't know it was AKA the Mirage... Thanks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Signpainter:
is this official enough?

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/meet/wm65-upgrade.mspx

I know it doesnt have a date but until we hear directly from samsung, i think thats as close to a confirmation as were gonna get.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VinceInSeattle:
I can't get into the Windows Mobile app store either with 23052. And the app store isn't accessible from a PC at this time either. MS announced this premiere date for WM 6.5 months ago, you would think they would be ready!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] BeyondTenor:
MMS

Can any of you tell me how to get mms to work on the latest build? I use MMS a -lot- and can't go without it. I would love to use build 52 but just can't get MMS. any help is much appreciated. Thank you!

-Beyond

EDIT: My apologies. I somehow missed the post with the answer. that's what I get for using a mobile browser 24/7. sorry about this.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pulsorock:
I totally agree... although 23052 has some nice features, 23017(15MB) does offers better performance.

Does anyone know what build version was used for the "official" WinMo 6.5 release?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gungho:
MMS Settings that worked for me

I confirmed these settings and corrected them as needed as stated by

xhaloz

Junior Member

Go to your text messages and click the notepad paper next to the X button, scroll down until you get to MMS options

Click on servers..I made a new one

MMS SETTINGS

Server name: AT&T MMS

Gateway - wireless.cingular.com

Port - 80

Server address - http://mmsc.cingular.com

Connect via - MY ISP

Send limit 300K

WAP Version 2.0

MY ISP SETTINGS

Click start, settings, connections, and connections again (yes)

Click Manage existing connections

I made a new one called AT&T Media Net

Access point name wap.cingular

Username wap@cingulargprs.com

Password CINGULAR1

Domain is blank

Under general I named it MY ISP...If you change the name make sure to change the connect VIA part in MMS settings to the new name.

It still didn't work until I saw post by

drewopo77

Junior Member

If you are still,l having problems i can think of two possibility's that it might be.

1. On the post that has the settings for mms, i found that i had to have it set to "the internet" and not "my isp" under the connect via setting i did that and it downloaded all my mms messages

the other one was that some of mine came up like u said, "message not found' and that was for one's that have been waiting for awhile to download they get deleted off the server hopefully that will help you out.

I did the following and it started working.

Go to your text messages and click the notepad paper next to the X button, scroll down until you get to MMS options, then Click on servers, click on the server and the settings page will display for it, under Connect via: I selected "The Internet" as stated above and MMS started working properly.

Hopefully this helps.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] BWheezy:
My impression, and what I've seen on most review sites, is that the 23017 "branch" (not necessarily that specific build) will be on the first releases out. The newer soft buttons/top bar etc branch that 23052 and a number of others recently were built from was supposedly going to come later as a new revision from what I've read. Assuming the Epix release is shortly after intro as has been suggested it will likely be based off the 23017 branch, but if it's delayed significantly who knows what version we might see on it. I'm hoping they drop it soon with a fixed radio, I could care less about the PDA ROM, the chefs will take care of that part.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] BeyondTenor:
I couldn't get MMS to work. oh well. I like 23017 anyway. Works for me, except the sound killer bug. Maybe we'll get a hack of new drivers to play with? ;)

If anyone knows a good kitchen, I'd love to cook. I was looking around, LG Incite has a few bug free builds and such. They tell everyone what kitchen they use, too. I'd like to know what to use for the Epix.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JaureguiRoberto:
I couldn't get my mms to work either. :-(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hizhonor:
Several have hoped that the GPS issues would be fixed with the various ROM posting throughout this thread. Obviously, since we now know it's an issue with the Phone portion, it's not in the cards.

However, since it's been a bit quiet here (and at the risk of taking us off topic for a moment) buried deep in an article comment over on mysamsungepix.com was this little gem:

Navigate in the file browser (programs>applications>file browser) to My Device/Windows/GPSTest.exe

Select: Menu>Options>GPS

Under the “Operating Type” option select “Stand-alone” and then select “Done”

basically disabling the aGPS function. It has made the use of GPS on my EPIX usable again. No more high device.exe and associated battery drain. Initial lock takes a bit longer but I've been using it with several GPS apps over the past few days and am pleased with the results. Having this "must have" feature of my phone back makes waiting for the official fix tolerable.

For those that want more info on this "fix", a thread has popped up in their "how-to" section.

Now ... back to our regularly scheduled programming ...

i kinda feel like an idiot.... but first il say i really like 6.5, but i guess i have ran into an issue. I was playing with it last night and had my GF send me a text message, and i recieved it then i tried to compose and send her one.... i cant find a button to send the stupid thing and its getting me frustrated. HELP please im using the latest bin aswsell.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT NVM i guess i had to restart my phone and now i can send them. With that being said i really like my new phone OS thanks to everyone involved. But i have one question i had read somewhere mabey here or on mysamsungepix.com that these release's were time bombed whatever that means, and if so is this latest release.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] BWheezy:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] deathserver:
ok thanks for the reply. i did try the suggested mms settings supplied by gungho on page 54 i believe, now are those setting something that could cause data plan cost to me because i have no data plan, if so what were the default settings. i guess i should hav wrote them down. Oh and if they do release a OEM 6.5 update how will it be installed will i follow the same procedures i used on this one.

oh and i guess i may have found a bug something with the picture saying there not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its componets is missing, i dont know if these where left out intentionally based onbin file size or whatever. But i was able to navigate to pictures and stil apply them as backgrounds but mehh whatever no biggy.

Epix 6.5 ROM problems

Sadly, I've not been able to get any of the 6.5 ROMS to load on my Epix. Every time I try to load them using GrandPrix 1.6.4 for Vista, the install gets stuck at Downloading PDA Region #1 (DiskImage) and never progresses. The Indicator runs to 100%, but no other text appears in the status window. I've tried all of the available ROMS on this board. Ive even tried flashing the cooked 6.1 ROM also posted in this forum. None of them work, so I suspect it's a problem with GrandPrix. I've tried redownloading the .exe and all of the ROMS with no success. I've been following the instructions off MySamsungEpix.com. I've even tried some of the Mirror downloads from there as well. It does detect the device though when I connect it. Thankfully I've been able to use the Samsung flash utility to reload ID1 after each failed flash. Otherwise it just gets stuck at the Samsung load screen and never gets any further. I've tried this on a XP SP3 machine as well that I use to restore ID1. I can restore ID1 just fine with it, but using GrandPrix 1.6.4 for XP to flash 6.5 doesn't work on it either. I've gone through every other step to the letter on both XP and Vista. Any ideas?

Flame rom 128 !

I went for the flame rom 128 dpi in the end ...

I almost instantly stopped using the finger mouse.....it says allot about 6.5 really. Initially why \i went for i780 was for the mouse cuz winmo and my big fingers didnt play nice....but 6.5 ....yeah it will tie me over nicely.... its allot faster (in my experience) than the offocial samsung 6.1 rom ... so yeah excellent

Hi folks... I need some assistance.

I'm trying to update with the 23052 rom. I've used two different versions of Grandprix and the results are the same. Following the recommended steps of:

1. Turning off the phone with USB plugged in.

2. Setting up Grandprix and clicking detect.

3. Turning on the phone.

I get this result:

OnDeviceChange: DBT_DEVICEARRIVAL

OnDeviceChange: DBT_DEVICEARRIVAL

It sees the phone, but it does not start the file transfer. Grandprix 1.6.4 is running with admin privileges. I've even tried running it in XP compatibility mode. The phone is set to "Modem" under USB Connection Mode. I am using Windows 7.

UPDATE: For anyone having this problem, the drivers install more than one device for the phone as a modem. Disable one of them (the serial port) and the program will recognize the single device and proceed accordingly.

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/meet/wm65-upgrade.mspx

I assume people are watching this page. As of yet there hasn't been a date announced "officially" for the epix. It seems as though the could announce in November that it will be out in Dec. I don't know. You would think that someone somewhere at Samsung is actually working on it right now and that they have some idea when it will be done. Inefficiency in huge companies is just pathetic. Especially when you put them up against the likes of trashcan who do the same things in their spare time without the proper/actual tools!!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jgreen7:
I had similar problems when I was first try to put a new image on my phone. I was able to duplicate the errors you posted above by having the phone connected to my computer and starting grandprix before I turned the phone off.

To get it to work after following all (most :) ) of the other instructions for flashing, I did the following:

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.

Once I followed those steps the phone was detected and flashing occurred successfully.

I have it. I do have the mouse issue. IE is working :D. I love that samsung boot/shutdown animation! Its a bit rough around the edges, like going from application to the today screen or transitioning from app to app. It needs to be a bit more optimized for the screen size I think. It makes the phone seem slow in some applications and it doesn't respond that good to the touch. Its awesome :) though.

Looking forward to later revisions!

Also, can you try to see if you can use the keyboard driver from the BJII? Someone on here was trying to see if they could implement it but I don't know if they have.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Snickolaz:
I've been playing around for a bit and it's been working pretty good. I did notice if you tell the clock to be up top on all apps it will hide the battery meter in the today screen.

The lock screen is pretty sweet! I just wish they had a better contact manager. So I installed Resco Contact Manager. The camera works too. IE is also working good too.

I got Garmin Mobile to load up, but still having the GPS problem that started after the ID1 patch. I kind of miss the old start menu a little because it had the recent apps and you could put same favorites in it. Is there any way to re-arrange the start menu? Other than that keep up the good work!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Snickolaz:
Oh yeah, I get the mouse thing too. But it's only when you use the mouse and the screen refreshes or you load a different screen. Then you'll see a box where the mouse pointer was. But if you don't use the mouse the screen before you won't see a thing.
