T-Mobile MMS settings

After 5 years with At&t I broke contract and went with T-mobile when they brought 3G to my city. Unlimited everything for roughly half the price and no contract.

I love my year old Epix and don't want to trade it in. BUT...

Is it still the case now that I 6.5 that I still will be doomed to EDGE only with the Epix on T-Mobile?

Since I flashed this yesterday I have been unable to multi media text. I've read every page in this thread and I saw a reply with T-Mobile MMS settings. I edited them in but was unable to change the Gateway from wap1 to wap2. I still couldn't send or recive.

After trying 6.5 I will not go back. Even if I have to buy another device.

The mouse issue is still there. Really all I'm missing is the indicater next to the keybord that shows if I have the fn of shift pressed. Both minor..

Thanks Trashcan and everybody I've learned alot from this thread.

Minor Issue

Has anyone else noticed since the latest build that when you are talking on the phone and someone else calls, the sound that used to play doesn't anymore. I have no idea when someone else is trying to call, unless I look at my screen. It has already caused a fight or two with the wife.

Has anyone else had this problem, or know of a way to fix it? Thanks.

can someone PLEASE give me a link to the 6.1 clean rom? i connot get the download on rapidshare to work right. if u would upload it to mediafire or megaupload so i could download it i would appreciate that. please i wanna go back to wm6.1.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VinceInSeattle:
I've also had difficulties w/ mp3 stopping using Windows Media Player and my GPS program. I use a program called SportyPal to track my runs, and WMP to play music. I get random pauses during my workouts. Don't know if the phone is underpowered to run these two programs at once, and might try Kinoma or some other media player to see if it makes any difference. I also get WMP shut-off from the sleep key - I just stick it in my carrier and let the screen go to standby by itself.

It's been rock solid for me. Have you ruled out other software conflicts by not reloading software? I would have problems when i blew back files from a backup. Now i just reload what I need when I need it. Haven't had any problems.

Steve
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fb2:
Hadn't had a chance to reload any software. I had set up my e-mail accounts and stuff, but I wasn't downloading messages yet. I hadn't used the browser or set any ringtones or really done anything but change the power settings and turn off screen taps.

I re-flashed last night, and it locked up once more, but it hasn't done it since. I haven't loaded anything new; set up my e-mail again, downloaded some messages, and configured My Phone, which didn't sync completely for some unknown reason.

Other than the freezes, the build looks great. I love the functionality of it, and I hope that mine continues to work. Trashcan did a great job on this one (and 23017, which I had been running for months). I'll report back if I have any other troubles.

Instant Messenger, Pics and the card, the mouse, an Opera and me......

I love this 6.5.

What happened to the instant messenger app in 6.1? (MSN/YAHOO/AOL). I couldn't even find a stand alone Yahoo messenger. I use it alot. I installed an app called Fring... Locked me up and had to do a hard reset with the power key and H button. Anybody know where to get the 6.1 messeging app? Or at very leaset Yahoo IM?

Also having problem with attaching photos from 2gig Sandisk card to email if I use the insert tab. Or Setting contact pic from contacts. Locks me up and must do soft reset. If I open the photo and use send tab it attaches and sends fine and if I open photo and press set as tab it sets as a contact properly.

The mouse thing has been a big issue all thru this thread. I didnt do this soon due to what I read. Being a heavy mouse user I didnt want to risk it. Two things I find about it. 1. The trade off for better finger use is worth it alone. 2. It is annoying, true, but its not any real problem to the over all performance.

I do prefer the 6.1 version of IE. I hate this IE so much I looked installed Opera10beta. I had bad times with Opera on my old Palm Centro I was really impressed with this new one. IMHO, much better than mobile IE ever was.

Thanks again..

Hi, my Epix cannot detect the SIM (it doesn't alert "Insert SIM" when there is no SIM) then it cannot turn on the phone feature. Does anybody meet this situation? Any solution?

It could be the bin size is a little oversized but it was fine on my phone. I did get the completed message. I can remove a few programs such as remote desktop, windows live search to shrink down the size a bit.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ~~Tito~~:
Hey trashcan, on your rom there are 2 apps that can view pictures and videos, can you remove "My Stuff", since the one that is provided by default is better. Also, in the "Applications" folder there where a few at&t java apps there.

A fix for the mouse rendering issue is to move the finger mouse off the screen to the right side, and then set it to 4-way navigation. Unfortunately, you have to do this everytime you soft reset the phone.

finger flick scroll problem

trashcan your doing some amazing things here!!

other then the mouse thing and the slight slowness in general (compared to 6.1)

in the start menu page my finger flick only seems to move the screen like 3/4 to one page at a time. i am not sure if this is for "convenience" or if it is glitchy. for instance if i want to start a new program i just installed it is at the bottom and in order to get to it i have to swipe the screen 6 or 7 times to get to the bottom. shouldn't i be able to give it a hard swipe and it just shoot to the bottom?

basically i am just curious if anyone else is having the same issue.

on another "complaint"...what is on the very bottom left of the screen? it looks like a grey oval with three black lines on it. any ideas?

This should be used in place of the "regular" 6.5 ROM, correct? What are the actual differences? The page pool one is a slightly bigger file, but it's organized differently for speed? Does it still have the mouse issue? Anybody run both and care to offer a comparison?

This is great stuff! Gonna give it a go this afternoon!!

Radio Rom

A little off topic, but this is where the Epix Users hang out...

I tried flashing a radio rom (phone.bin) from an Omnia (Latin America version - same 3G bands). The device turned on fine, but the phone was showing up as off. Couldn't turn the phone on. So I guess it doesn't work.

Good news is that I reflashed the ID1 update and it put the Epix phone.bin back on and everything is working as before (GPS still pegs device.exe usage...)

Back to the drawing board - or play the waiting game with Samsung tech support.

The page pool is bigger, system has faster access to the ram. It still has the mouse issue but if you allways but it at the bottom before you switch or go to a different app it wont even happen.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gistofit:
bigger page pool ponderings...

so we take the default page pool of _____ and increase it to 15mb. So there is now 15mb of space dedicated to the system? and in order to make room for this bigger page pool some other files/programs were removed but not quite the same amount as the increase which leaves us with a slightly BIGGER *.bin file even though it is a slimmed down version of 6.5?

am I understanding this all correctly?

what was the previous default page pool size?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ~~Tito~~:
I don't think that's how it works. Here in the wiki, it explains what a page pool is. Basically its more connections to the ram from the ROM to load up the code necessary to run the system.

I had that, and eventually had to hard reset the device. I have Win 6.1 though. I WANT so badly to load a 6.5 Rom, but I don't understand how. I'm wondering if it's like my TILT where I have to load HardSPL or something? I'm so afraid of bricking this phone. The Tilt... I'm very comfortable, as I KNOW what to do.

What do I need to do before loading the 6.5 Rom? And, is this ROM working in all areas?

Thanks.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hizhonor:
I've been applying Trashcan's ROM since he started posting them for the Epix without any issues. I'm by no means an expert, but I do a pretty good job of following instructions and not panicking when things don't proceed as expected.

Review the information in this link: http://www.mysamsungepix.com/category/windows-mobile-6-5/

I still use it as a reference each time I flash a new ROM version. The only thing that needs updating is the name of the file for the ROM. You can get that in the first post of this thread. And, if you're running Vista or 7, right click and run GrandPrix as an Administrator. Everything else is accurate. There's even a screen capture video of the process to help smooth the rough edges. It was this step by step video that got me over the "should I / shouldn't I" hurdle.

Each build posted has worked fine for me. Sometimes there are little bumps along the road, but I usually am able to trace them back to a third party app messing with stuff. For instance, I still can't get Internet Explorer in 28008 to connect to the Internet despite the fact other have no issues. But I've been using Opera 10 beta 2 and Skyfire 1.5 to surf and actually prefer them. In all cases I've never had a major system failure. That said .. you are experimenting so proceed at your own risk.

The ROMs posted here do nothing to address the GPS issues. So if you're already running the ID1 update, your GPS will continue to be wonky. There are artifacts from using the optical mouse that also are not addressed with these ROMs. I'm told most likely due to 6.1 driver incompatibility. There are work around that make it a trivial non-issue.

Good luck and let us know what you decide.

Steve
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] porkenhimer:
I have tried three of Trashcans 6.5 roms and i was not happy with any. 28008 was the best. my problems with his roms r that they r not made for the Samsung Epix and everything is too big. some icons look great while some are blurry or just not recognizable at all. I think the softkey bar is way too big. it takes up about 1/4 of entire screan space and realvga does not function on 6.5.

My Samsung Epix gps worked fine out of the box till i used the 6.5 roms. then couldn't get a data connection when using gps and never got a satelite lock. i have a simple fix to get the gps to work. Open the file explorer and go to windows then find the gprsmanager. then select at&t then if u use your gps it will connect to your data connection.

the mouse issue was not that big of a deal but the mouse was too slow. it works much faster on 6.1.

windows media player does not function as it should. videos remain small on full screen mode. video perfomance overall is bad on any player. coreplayer, tcpmp, wmpm all play videos with less quality plus the video is not as bright as when played on the 6.1 rom. i do not know what caused this to happen with videos playing darker than everything else on the screen.

everything is so big on the 6.5 roms that it requires more scrolling in every program. all menues are huge.

imho the clean 6.1 rom is the best rom for the Samsung Epix. if u are thinkin of upgrading to 6.5 i would wait till Feb. 2010 for the official 6.5 rom. the unofficial 6.5 roms are not bad but they are not good either unless u gotta have it stick to 6.1 for a month cause they are junk. if u are gonna flash to 6.5 make sure you also download the clean 6.1 rom cause it is so much better and if u r like me you will wanna switch back to 6.1 after the first boot.

these 6.5 roms are not meant for the Epix and only make the phone slow. the roms take so much memory just from installing. it takes around 30mb more than 6.1 did.

even if u are using the 6.1 stock rom u really really need to get the clean 6.1 rom. by far the clean rom is the best to have on the Epix.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] porkenhimer:
The problems listed above are not the only problems with the 6.5 roms they are just the problems i hated most. No realvga, video players with bad quality, slow mouse, memory loss, gps with no data connection and overall network problems are just the few things that made the 6.5 roms a deal breaker for me.

there is more problems too. if u have not switched and want an honest opinion about the roms just ask. i will be honest. i am not someone that thinks it cool to have it on my phone cause its new. if it makes my phone suck its not good and these 6.5 roms made my phone suck.

man i hate that you have had problems with the 6.5 roms ....but its why i still have my phone ...the 6.1 stock blew like none other and then i put on the clean 6.1 ( thanx Trashcan) then i heard about 6.5 and put it on it was like a week after the clean 6.1 came out so i installed my trusty 6.5 (23017 thanx Trashcan) then i tried someone elses rom with a bigger build # ran it for not even an hour and flashed back to 23017 and ive never had any real problem i can get gps lock in less then 5 mins and hold true for hours (never did id1 update) and as for speed you prove to me that you 6.1 build is more stable then my 6.5.3 and ill switch back to clean 6.1 ......you right this is experimenting and its fun thats why we all did it and put a unsuported rom on our phone ....its why we are all here so if it ran bad on your phone then maybe it was your phone cause mines nice and stable and i havent had an issue with it

the link to 28008 is on page 70 and the clean rom is on page 79 of this thread. both are mediafire links. i dowloaded both with no problem. the rapidshare links did not work for me either. 28008 is pretty good but i can wait till the official 6.5 rom is out in Feb. trashcans roms are ok but everything is big. i am hoping the official 6.5 eill be similar to the official 6.5 on the Samsung Jack. the 6.5 on rhe jack is really nice and everything is basically the same size as the 6.1 rom. and all the icons look great. the icons on 28008 are ****ty. way to big fot the samsung epix but i prefer smaller size graphics like 96dpi on 6.1. i doubt u will like 28008 after the cool factor wears off.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] .fenrir:
While I have to agree that everything, for the most part, is too big, its 320x320 at 128dpi so no surprised. The softkey bar is somewhat big but if it were any smaller then it'd be better off with the 6.1 style. 1/4 of the screen is an exaggeration I'd say 1/5 sounds more like it.

My gps works fine, although that might be cause I never updated to ID1. I also don't have a data plan, so my gps still works even without the data. Just though I'd make a point that not everyone has this problem...or I'm just lucky.

I didn't try the previous builds but I think 28008 is pretty stable. On my phone its much faster than the stock rom but I guess anything is faster than the stock rom. Memory wise I feel like its less, but again I'm comparing it to the stock rom that I was using since Nov 08.

IMO 28008 is a good rom and major props to trashcan for it. I haven't had any problems others have had on it aside from the mouse issue of course, but I just use Mortscript as a work around for that. My only annoyance with 6.5 right now is that I can't find any program that can remap the OK button to actually close programs like in 6.1 since in 6.1 there were plenty that worked like Quickmenu, HTC Task Manager, etc. I've tried a number of apps to no avail, anyone found an app that does the trick?

I actually posted it back at #159 originally, it only fixes the cursor corruption for people using the D Pad, if your using the mouse function my understanding is the corruption is an unavoidable side effect of the mouse cursor itself.
