I had flashed another X51v- A03 Hardware revision, from a friend with the A10 ann the device had connected straight away on WPA-PSK-TKIP with no problem, smooth and stable. I have with this flashed 4 different Ax and all of them the WiFi WPA had worked perfectly. But by default A10 have check the option "this is a hidden network"; if I keep that bix checked I have problem getting connect; this must be unchecked.

The problem is why the A10 is having problem for you?, not sure about the configuration of your router but if with the same configuration you get connected with L11 it ust to work with no problem with the A10.; L14 is very problematic in this matter.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rhgong:
I just visited LennySh's website and found that L11 was not the version I used before upgrading to WM6.5. I need to find what was the version that previously worked well on my device. I'll keep you updated.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jclampy:
Keep testing this stuff because if you find the answer then it may help others. ;)

Also, changing between chefs is going to 'create' differences through their different cooking methods and setting/customising code I guess.

Also, keep in mind that these ROMs are not official. They don't have production teams and massive testing teams. So saying " 6.5.x should work with most routers" is not accurate.

In fact, I don't take anything for granted. I mean we shouldn't expect to have a fully working X51v with 6.x. We need to respect the fact that we are privaleged to have what we get.

These ROMs are all Beta or WIP builds and just because an earlier version had a feature that worked doesn't mean a newer version will still work as well.

Please continue with your research though. If you can find that ROM that worked perfectly maybe we can pull the drivers from it or something? :cool:

PS; I am still on my own journey to find the perfect ROM for my use. I have it down to about half a dozern ROMs but still need some more research to get it down to the 'one'. So I know what all this searching is like and I will just say "keep at it!"

I've just finish my WM6.5 light project (for 64 Mo device) and I have sent some extendir rom for test do you want me to include you in the loop?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mtal1:
Makuu please can you confirm if you receive my comments via PM regarding to the new project?. I see my message as not sent, however I had sent it 3 times.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] makuu:
Yes thank you, I have it 3 times. ;)

Bottom line: Now my device can connect my router with WPA-PSK/TKIP on Makuu's A11 VoIP ROM.

Since last night, I spent huge amount of time in trying different ROMs on my device in order to find which one worked well before upgrade. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find the one, and no one ROM could establish a WPA link to my router. The following is the list of ROMs I tried:

WM 6.1 ROMs

- LennySh's L11, L08

- Makuu's A08, A06 Pure, A06 Antik

- Football's A07

WM 5 ROM

- Makuu A17

Finally, I decided to give up, and installed Makuu's latest A11 VoIP in order to use it as a navigation device. However I couldn't fall sleep after a long period of time. I decided to give it a last try, and the result surprised me.

Here's what I have done:

Changes on router:

- Channel changed from the default 6 to 7

- Channel width changed from "20 MHz" to "Auto 20/40 MHz"

- Disabled SSID broadcasting and WPS

- 802.11 mode changed from "Mixed 11b and 11g" to "Mixed 11b, 11g and 11n"

- Changed DHCP's address lease time from "1 week" to "1 hour"

- Disabled the MAC address filter, removed all filter entries

- The router was turned-off for a few minutes to let it lose memory

Changes on X51v:

- Changed my device ID from "Pocket_PC" to a meaningful name

- Installed the Odyssey Client 4.57 for WM 5, the download link is

http://www.juniper.net/customers/support/products/aaa_802/oac_client_user.jsp

I just installed the client but didn't run it (it needs a license key to run).

- Turned-on WiFi signal, dismissed all popups for detected WLANs, manually added my hidden WLAN and the TKIP passphrase (remember to tick "this is a hidden network")

- After the previous step, my device was connected to my router with WPA! If it is not successful in your case, turn off the WiFi signal and then turn it on.

After the connection was successful, I rebooted the device, and turned-on the WiFi signal, no connection was established. Then I turned the WiFi signal off, and turned it on again after a few seconds, this time the connection was successful! After this, I can safely turn on and off the WiFi signal, at most time a stable connection can be established.

Then I uninstalled the Oddyssey Client from the device, but stable connection can still be established.

This is the end of my story. Hope it can help you guys locate the problem. I think router setting is the first thing to be checked; then the Oddyssey may add something which is missing in WM.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] osvaldoll:
Hi, I was reading all the post and I´m very confused.

I have a 64Mb X51V running 6.1 VOIP spanish ron fron Makuu a lote of time without troubles. May be some litle problem with WiFi connection but no matter.

The question is: Are a spanish rom for a 64Mb better than last WM 6.1 fron Makuu???? It´s fast, more efficient or simply a nice interface?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jclampy:
Do you think maybe Oddyssey might add the dll files that the WiFi fix cab or other fixes add??

Might pay just to check this if you are interested. :confused:

If so, then the main solution is the 'Router settings' which would be a bit more consistant with some users having problems and some not.

Thanks for what you have come up with!!! :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mtal1:
I think you have confused the whole thing; You had said that L11 connect easily and stable with WPA-PSK, but then result that is not; all those roms you had listed the majority of them do not have problem connecting to the WPA-PSK encryption with the native Dell Wlan utility. SO if you have been succesful before connecting whit those roms, so of course the problem had been associated all the time to a wrong setup configuration of your router; for any reason in your specific case the router configuration had been completely wrong.

When we discuss here if A10, A11 or E01 WM6.5.x have problems or not connecting to thw WiFi with WPA encryption is actually related to connect using the native Dell Wlan utility (or which is the same activating the Wireless button on the side of the axim). It's documented that Oddisey client utlity have work all the time on those cases but in a 64Mb Ram device this utility will take a lot of your very few megas of free ram running a full WM6.5.

But from your case it's a good testimony that installing and then unstalling the odissey utility may be something had been fixed in the system to make those problematic WPA-PSK-TKIP roms works properly after that; It will be good to validate this, if this a real solution on those cases; but if the device if hard reseted those changes will be lost and must be re-do it the whole procedure again.

So far that it is a fact 9according to the experience of many users posted in the forums, including myself) with not need of any 'change' on the original roms, the cases of stable roms with WPA-PSK-TKIP connecting with the Dell Wlan utility, from makuu are:

- WM6.1 A09 VOIP Gold multilanguage

- WM6.5.1. A10 build 23060 VOIP

- And a new WM6.5 not public rom still in testing.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mtal1:
The importance of the original roms work since the beginning just after flash without do any change on the system if because you can have the guaranty that out of home your X51v will can connect free of problems and easily while be dealing with complicated setup or applications in a public network or hot spots; at home with time you all the time sure you can try to make the device connect without encryption, or with WEP encryption that always had work with any of those roms wtih problems with WPA, or forcing the device to connect installing odissey utility.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rhgong:
I reinstalled my device again just want to replicate the problem. Now I'm sure that in my case playing with router settings can solve my problem. So forget about Oddyssey.

When the connection problem occurred, I simply press the wifi button to turn it off and then on, the problem usually solved after 2 or 3 retries. If the problem still exists, playing with the router settings, e.g. change the communication channel, could always solve the problem.

However, I do think the wireless driver on those roms has some problem, because sometimes my configured WLAN (a hidden network) disappeared after reboot, and I have to manually add the network and the passphrase again. Also, sometimes after reboot the wireless manager said my WiFi was turned on but it's actually not on.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rhgong:
I'd like to clarify one thing: the ROM worked on my device before upgrading was not L11, and till today I still wasn't able to find which is the one. It looked like Makuu's A08 but it didn't have the clocks and calendar on the top, and didn't have that many built-in programs. The installed programs at least include MagicButton, TCPMP player, XnView, and YouTube (some of them may be installed by myself). I flashed the ROM one year ago, at that time I also tried almost all available WM6.1 roms. That is why I forgot which one was the last one.

I don't think there is anything wrong with my router setting, because my laptop can always connect to the router no matter how I change the router setting. It is more like an incompatibility issue between this router and X51v, or because the wireless module on X51v is not capable enough, maybe too sensitive to environmental interference. In my living place, my laptop usually detects 4-7 WLANs, while the X51v detects 10-15 WLANs. Most WLANs in my neighborhood use the default channel 6. If I set my router to use this channel too, then there's greater chance that my device got the WPA problem. I still cannot say the communication channel is the source of the problem, because I did this test for only a couple of hours yesterday.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mtal1:
Now Makuu had made public rhgong; try any of the new two lite roms, I like a lot the E01 Lite - build 21876 - Stylus UI using "dell stock" option. No problems at all with WPA-PSK/TKIP encryption. In this new thread are the links:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=586875
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rhgong:
Yes, E01 21876 is an excellent ROM! I confirm that WiFi with WPA is no longer a problem in this ROM. Connection can always be established quickly. I watched 5 hours YouTube video continously, disconnection never happened. If I have to say a problem of this ROM, the YouTube video was not so smooth (but the audio was good), and the Skype voice quality was bad. This is probably caused by the built-in low-speed 802.11b.

My thanks to makuu and mtal1!

Fast battery drain

I have upgraded to Makuu E01 5A2D.

It runs fine for the first couple of day, usually just long enough to get it set up then all of a sudden when I turn it off then go to turn it back on again I jsut get vertical lines across the screen. There is nothing that I can press to make it run. If I then turn it off again andthen back on the unit is dead. I have to soft reset it to make it come back on again. The if I turn it off again same process.

I have also noticed that the battery is draining really quickly while it is in this state.

Any idea?

If you need any more in please let me know and I will give it.

Cheers

Fast battery drain

Forgot to mention that the only solution that I have found it to reinstall the ROM and then put all my software back on it, which takes some time and is not really a good work around as I am haveing to do it every couple of days.

Cheers
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jclampy:
I noticed this with one of Makuu's 6.5.x ROMs but can't remember which one exactly, it wasn't an E01, I think it was one of the 5574 like I said I can't be sure which ROM. Only solution is to try a different ROM as far as I know. I didn't have vertical lines, I had horizontal garbage, like the whole screen shifted down about 50 lines.

I didn't notice battery drain as I had already changed to a different ROM by then.

If I was you, I would try a different ROM, maybe one of his 'lite ROMs' unless you are dead set on 'touch' based UI?

Cheers.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] francky37:
same behavior here: white vertical lines only after "power off" on E1-5A29 (french release)

This happens only if I installed PointUI

with

PointSense and only after I was connected by WiFi or Activesync.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] arasure:
Thanks for your replys. I did like the finger friendlyness of 6.5.1 but have gone back to Lennys 6.5, it seems to be stable on my x51v.

It also had trouble with activesync. It would only work once I had done a soft reset.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jclampy:
Confirmed!

Actually I have just found my old notes.

Appears it was E01 5574 Lite ROM that I noticed screen corruption on 'wakeup/resume'.

Maybe it is associated with 'Extendir' and 64MB devices. Or maybe it wasn't quite implemented properly.

I did not notice this problem with the A11 5574 ROMs Lite or Pro, only the E01 5574 Lite ROM.

Cheers.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] makuu:
This problem can occur in ALL x51v WM6.5 rom. In com2 only the start area is impacted. If I am not mistaken the screen will redraw if calendar or contact button is pressed.

I don't know if the x50v has the same problem. It's probably related to the 2700g driver.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] arasure:
Thanks you Makuu. I will give it another try and see how I go.

Does it matter if I have those buttons set to open other programs, will they still restart the unit?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] makuu:
I can't say much because my everyday x51v is still running 6.1. I haven't get enought time to upgrade. Also I have started working on other mini projects. So I haven't get this issue often, I think that if you press on calendar for example it will redraw the screen for the calendar application (but I am not sure, as I don't know how to reproduce this issue for sure). Francky37 has been using the rom since quite a while, he has more experience on this and he can reproduce the problem for sure using a third part software.

Charger doesn't work

Hello...first of all, great work on this release. However, I have one problem with this release and my x51v...my desktop charger doesn't charge the batteries anymore if I plug it to the power outlet - x51v doesn't recognize it as being connected to the power outlet. I can charge it using usb power, but not power outlet. Any ideas...or you guys don't have this problem, meaning, my dektop charger is SOL.

Thanks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mirskym:
I have noticed this odd behavior now and again. I put the Axim in the cradle and the orange light won't turn on. A soft reset fixes it. Try that.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ahajdar:
Problems with power

mirskym, thanks for the suggestion. i tried soft reset but it's still the same - my charging cradle is useless when it comes to charging batteries through power outlet with this version of rom.

maybe someone has fixed this issue, or knows workaround?

Any chance of that 6.5.3 ROM from CES coming to our Axims? I know there are even some 6.5.5 ROMs floating around. I'm just wondering :)

Problems with reinstalling

Hello...I have tried wm6.5.1 voip professional on x51v with 64mb ram and since performance is rather bad, I have downloaded wm6.5 A11 "lite" version (5574). However, when I try to install this rom, I do the procedure wifi+power+reset (and release), my x51v is stuck in the image loader window and displays only the "Reading SD card..." message, and the bar below is in the middle. I left it for about 10 minutes and nothing is happening...hence, does not display a message that I can install this "lite" rom. I tried couple of different sd cards, but it is the same problem.

Any suggestions?

p.s. I do the hard reset, and x51v goes normally into os, so it is usable but I have several issues with this version so I need to downgrade. :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ahajdar:
it looks like my ROM download was bad. I downloaded another one, and it works fine.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ahajdar:
it looks like the charger doesn't have anything to do with wm6.x..I installed an old wm5 and the charger doesn't recognize the power outlet, so i'll have to take it to a shop to try to fix the problem.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tabatt13:
Bump! Hi makuu sorry to bother but I just want to see how the WM 6.5.3 ROM is coming along. Now that devices are starting to show up with it and Microsoft haas officially acknowledged it I'm very excited. It seems to have a great many bug fixes for Windows Mobile and seems to solve many of the problems with 6.5.1. I have only one request, please don't include Finger Keyboard. I have fallen in love with Swype and the Finger Keyboard you include doesn't play nice with other keyboards. Since its almost guaranteed that WM7 will not run on our Axims WM6.5.3 will most likely be our last stand. I'm sure you will send us out in style:)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] makuu:
I haven't played with the new WM6.5 build, extendir V2 is still béta and I haven't tried it either. I've been working on two titanium pluggins for the next rom. I need a free finger UI keyboard because I'am tired of the stylus, I plan to use Finger Keyboard but if you have a download link for swype.... (Is it a freeware).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tabatt13:
Thanks for the quick response. I'm sure you'll do a great job on the next ROM. I thought the 6.5.3 used a new finger friendly keyboard by default. Anyway. Swype is not freeware but haas been ripped from the Samsung Omnia 2. Im at work now but if you PM me here or on HTCGeeks I will send you a VGA for you to play with. I'm not sure if you can legally include it in you ROMs but I know you will love it much more than Finger Keyboard. Its definitely one of the best apps for Windows Mobile I've seen in a long time.:)

Saying thanks....but.

Hi! could be first post! I don't remember.....

So I'll say HI! to my fellow HTCgeekers here and to the MAN!!! Thanks for all your dedication and hard work keeping the Axim alive with these Great ROMS!!

Here is my wishlist....

Just some suggestions - I am no fool... but I find the release posts a convoluted mess. maybe there can be some simplification.

People want to come and get the latest and know what it is and who it is for.

I dug around... and it can be overwhelmig for some I imagine.... all the numbers....10 pages in to find an update... but is the first post updated as it should be..... other releases.... scattered in the thread..... Hmmmm.

it's a mixed bag....

Not judging.... I would just like to have a clue sometimes more than it seems I do.... LOL

UPDATE - I got the E01 I think just now.

SLINGPLAYER ISSUES

Maybe someone too can suggest to me... or advise me.... I like a touch UI... but the 6.5 FINGER UI breaks 1.6 of SLINGPLAYER mobile.... so I am thinking use theg Stylus UI or back to a6.1 ROM

Sling released a new player that will only work on a 6.5 device..... BUT it does not work and crashes on an Axim 6.5.... Something must be missing.

So... does the stylus UI have the slimmer softkey area.... because it's the GUI that seems to break the Slingplayer APP.

I figure I could just use Mobile Shell as always on top. Maybe that app/shell.... adds some sort of Finger support for itself to be efficient.... and I don't realy have to worry about a finger version of the OS.... but I think I'd rather have the continuity of the WHOLE OS with all the menus etc etc...

Anyone..... help :o

I look forward to all your replies!!!
