It's a known bug caused by the e-reader tab (read somewhere in the forum). I do face the same too. To recreate the blank screen on the 'Sound & Display', first go to e-reader tab (and flip thru the ebooks) and then go to setting and open the 'Sound & Display'.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Ahhh, you're right...that's the cause, thanks!. I guess you should just go start menu > Settings > sound and do it that way ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] babblerx:
Scotsman, that's spot on!! I've got my HD2 just about exactly how I want it now...with the eReader tab.

Cheers :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
No problem, glad you're happy with it ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] hpacura:
No biggie. Very rarely go to e-reader but it's nice to have it there just in case needed.

btw, thanks for the update. Really love your ROM - stability and performance plus all the goodies built in :D . Please keep on updating to the latest and maintaining the current ROM style, and leave the customization to the users.

I would like to buy you a beer as a way to say THANK YOU :D

Excellent ROM. Good to see an Australian based ROM chef. Could you recommend a Radio for Australia? I am with Three and when the phone goes to Telstra's Edge (ie when out of the 'Three Zone') the voice on the other end is very tinny and hard to hear. When in 3G I have no problems.

Again many thanks.

"this happens because I have Manila set to rotate. And when you do this, it's either all or nothing. The problem with the music and photo tabs are a side effect of manila having rotation.

if you want to disable it, install the disable rotation cab from post #2 and it will be back to normal "

hey scotty

if i disable landscape mode with ur CAB will i still be able to have the phone menu, front page etc with quicklinks show up in landscape?

i would like to have the pictures/videos flow like normal like how they do so in the stock ROM but i think if i use the disable landscape cab i will lose the phone menus etc going to landscape?

can you please confirm this

excuse my jibber hahahah
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Hey :)

Unfortunately, you cannot have the fancy flow effects on the photo and music tabs and have landscape manila enabled..it's one or the other.

You can however use BSB Tweaks to enable landscape mode on individual things like the phone, start menu etc.

Data Connection

I cannot get my Telstra Data Connection to work, and hence cannot link to my bigpond account. I can get Internet and SMS seems flakey.

Advice please...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Telstra Data Collection? What's that? Internet works fin for me on Telstra...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KaH_ACT:
There is a Data Connection under wireless controls that will not turn on! Used for access to downloading data such as emails from bigpond.com
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Ahhh...you said collection not connection.

Telstra data connection works fine. Did you do MTTY before flashing?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bigfun:
hi Chief,

Can you help to release the pure rom with only upgrade of shipped softwares and tweak for Speed, Stable only? All soft we will install later.

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KaH_ACT:
I have no idea what MTTY is, so no didn't do it. Could you please explain as it was not in the noobs list to do?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Sorry, I can't customise the ROM for each individual person....I have it tweaked how I like it. I do listen to my users for suggestions though, but I won't be removing all th software

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=623356

Basically, it formats your phone internal storage (not sd card) before you flash, which ensures a proper flash.

Telstra data connection works fine for me so I know it's not a ROM issue.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KaH_ACT:
Have done MTTY - reflashed radio and ozrom - data connection still does not turn on. Goes through process of Cennection Setup but still shows as off. Your suggestions would be grateful ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
So how are you testing it? have you gone into connection manager and turned on data connection?

Or try going to weather tab, open the menu and enable location service. Then update the weather.

I am on Telstra, as are several other users of the ROM, and it all works fine.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KaH_ACT:
Not even the internet is working now!! Weather gives error too. Error - Cannot Connect. Also in Sync shows as HTC 8xxxx when it was Telstra build it was a HTC 9xxx. I may need to find out how to go back to Telsta Rom, that would be a challenge too. Telstra shop could not find how to set up either.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Something isn't right then, this isn't a ROM problem. Was the Internet working on the original Telstra ROM?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KaH_ACT:
Yes all functions were working well :-(

SMS for email setup from Telstra is not being recieved either
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Is your phone working ok? You don't have airplane mode enabled or something do you?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KaH_ACT:
I have not problems syncing with Outlook or using the phone, anything else is "dead" saying settings not set correctly.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
What exactly does it say when it says settings are not set correctly?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ccristal:
Try Start => Tools => BsB Tweaks => Menu => Data Connections. Is "Enabled" checked?

ccristal
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KaH_ACT:
It comes up with the screen for settings, internet & email working thru wireless

For weather - Connection Error - There was a connection error while attempting to download weather data. Retry? Yes No

Internet: Dialed: Telstra "Cannot connect for an unknown reason blah blah" - Setting Dismiss
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KaH_ACT:
Is "Enabled" checked - unchecked and rechecked now :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
DId you check that Telstra Internet is the selected one in start > connections > connections > avanced?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KaH_ACT:
Have fiddled with it now have internet working but still no data connection showing and no email via phone only wireless :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ccristal:
Ok, try this:

Settings => Wireless controls => tap on "data connection" (on the label, not on the green toggle) => Set country and operator => Menu => check "Enable Auto Configuration" => Menu => tap on "Update database" => check "update the latest settings for all operators" => tap on "Update Database".

At the end of the process, it will ask you to soft reset. Do it and see whether you can connect after the reboot.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gotovamsee:
I think there are some GPRS issues with this latest build ROM's which constantly struggles for a connection coz even I too get this weather connection errors frequently especially when manually updated. Moreover this never happens when connected to WIFI.

Another annoying situation with this weather update is that all of a sudden it takes "My Location" on home screen to some alien name like "CASA etc etc" altogether a different continent. That time google maps also shows this wrong location.

Either I have to come to any open area to allow google maps to get proper location details so that "My Location" will be set correctly. Otherwise tap on home screen clock and add my current location as default. But this way weather updates cannot be updated properly. It shows a hot sun even at mid night.

Any views on this??

I get the "cannot connect" error :( - thanks for the suggestion.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] hpacura:
Just double checking, do you have a data plan with your cell phone provider?

I live in NA, and I've been using OzROM Series since I got my HD2 (btw, the Telstra version) more than a month ago and never have any problem with data connection like you mentioned.

Why don't just redownload and reflash gain, maybe it was a bad download / flash.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KaH_ACT:

Camera not working

Hey the_scotsman

Just installed your rom, thanks for a job well done.

So far I found that:

a. it only works with the radio that you recomend

b. the camera & video camera is not working on mineI get a message"unable to switch to preview mode. failed to set up the camera device"

c. cannot play mp4 files, just a blank screen.

Do you know of quick patches to fix my problems?

Thanks mate
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Gerbon:
this is the first custom rom i installed

to be honest .. i can't say i'm very pleased with this one

i installed a custom one because i was hoping for a smoother running, less RAM consuming OS

guess i'll have to look on ... this one lags for me and boots extremely slow
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ebliss:
For the two of you below, are you running any other applications or just using what's in the ROM? Any registry tweaks etc? Did you restore any files or registry using a backup program like spb backup?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Did you use MTTY before flashing because my camera works fine.

You're complaining of higher RAM usage? The HD2 has more than enough RAM...my ROM deliberately uses more of it to increase the speed of the ROM...there's still more than 50% free always...:rolleyes:

I'm surprised you didn't find my ROM smooth...it's a ****load better than the stock ROM...but I guess I can't please everyone...I'm guessing you didn't use MTTY to eliminate any "lags"...and if boot is a little slower, is that such a big deal? It's something I've tried to fix in my new release that I'm currently testing myself...

I think I'll add a big message to my first post...I RECOMMEND YOU USE MTTY BEFORE FLASHING
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tigabert:
Hi the_scotsman,

I just wanna say that I've been using your ROM for the past few days and installed lots of 3rd party apps. I found no problem or bugs at all. It's very smooth, stable and fast. Keep up the good work. ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Thats good hear hear, I'm glad you're happy with the ROM :)

Hi there, thanks for your reply,

1. no i didn't use MTTY before flashing my hd2

2. the only new aplicaions i installed are skype and spb keyboard.

What is the best way to work out my camera & mp4 issues?

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] beddo:
After flashing, I had to do the update that was advised before. Do you get the cannot connect error when clicking the Update Database button or is it when going back and trying the Internet after updating the database.

I had to do one thing:

Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections -> Set up my proxy server

Make sure the "This network connects to the Internet" box is checked and uncheck the proxy box. Write down the IP that is listed just in case you need to put it back later!

It might also be handy if someone on your network can give you the modem configuration specified on the same tabs just in case your phone has the wrong ones or something similar.

Hi!

I'm having the same sort of problem with the data connection that has been outlined before, although it doesn't happen all the time. I'm with Vodafone UK, radio 2.08.50.08_2, and occasionally, I get the "can't connect for an unknown reason" message. I've not been able to find a pattern, but I have checked the settings both before and after the problem occurs, and both the "Contract Internet" and "Contract WAP" settings seem to be the same.

I have an idea, though... can you publish a cab that removes the "3G" toggle from the "Wireless controls" page?

Thank you very much for your help!

Defect

Hello again!

Just a minor defect, which hopefully you will have a chance to look at before your next rom is published.

In the "Settings" => "Sound and display" page, the "Automatic" option doesn't work for me. As soon as I set it, the volume goes to zero and vibration is enabled, and the beginning and end of a meeting don't have any effect on their status - they remain in the status they were at before the meeting when the meeting starts and when the meeting ends.

Can you reproduce the problem? Any idea about how to fix it?

Thank you!

ccristal
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Hmmm...yep, I can reproduce this problem...time for my bed, almost midnight...

But can you test if you do this: Set to Automatic, but then drag the volume sliders back to 100%. Then see if it does only vibrate during meetings.

If not I'll see what I can do about it tomorrow :)

Thanks for the heads up!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ccristal:
Done it already. Here's the testcases I ran:

set the volume to 60%

created an appointment

set the profile to "automatic" before the appointment start time. Volume goes to 0%, vibration gets activated.

At meeting start time, volume stays at 0% with vibration activated. Same at meeting end time.

set the volume to 60%

created an appointment

set the profile to "automatic" before the appointment start time. Volume goes to 0%, vibration gets activated.

raised the volume back to 60%

At meeting start time, volume stays at 60%. Same at meeting end time.

set the volume to 60%

created an appointment

set the profile to "automatic" after the appointment start time. Volume goes to 0%, vibration gets activated.

At meeting end time, volume stays at 0%, with vibration activated.

All of the above scenarios were working well with v1.30.

Thank you for looking into this... :)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:

What can we expect in the next 6.5 rom? I have never tried a 6.5.5 rom as I hate those horrible buttons at the bottom of the screen, but, I wonder if I am missing out on other features it has.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
To be honest, they are really quite similar except the buttons.

New 6.5 ROM will hopefully be released tomorrow (late Friday night UK time :p) if not then later in the day.

I'm playing with Extendir at the moment, seeing if I can get it working.

v1.50 freezes after reboot.

Hi, I've just flashed to this ROM (my first flash).

All seemed to go well and it worked fine for about an hour. I'm only just beginning to play with my phone and exploring it.

Anyway, switched it off and turned it on again the next morning only for it to freeze at the HTC splash screen. :confused:

Any ideas?

EDIT: OK, just reinstalled it, worked fine (i.e. Windows booted up and I was able to navigate the menus). Then switched off. Switched on and same result. Freezes at splash screen.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] donalgodon:
I was very much like you, but now I am totally committed to the 6.5.5 design, and the the buttons do not bother me at all.

The times when the WM interface peeks out from behind HTC Sense do not make one wish to vomit nearly as often as before, and the larger button interface enhancements really are worth it.

I was very hesitant and reluctant to change from 6.5, but I don't see any reason not do use 6.5.x ROMs now. Just my 2 cents.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] beddo:
Have you tried mtty before flashing? seems to be the cause of a lot of problems not doing that!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] donalgodon:
Freezing at the slash generally indicates an incompatible Radio, but since you were able to boot I doubt this is the cause in your case. Make sure you have the correct Radio flashed before you proceed.

MTTY is also a good thing to do, just to clean out all the junk from the old ROM first, as it seems like you might have some bits floating around from your previous ROM.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tboy2000:
I just flashed your 6.5.5 rom and dont' like it at all. Not your rom I mean, but the new interface with the big buttons at the bottom. I don't like when text is truncated in the buttons etc. Also I can understand having big finger friendly buttons on a small display but with the huge 4.3 dispaly of the HD2, I don't think you need these new big buttons. I have never had any problems tapping on any button on the 6.5 roms. Oh and no need to have the start menu button as part of the bottom soft key as we already have a physical start button at the bottom of the phone near our thumb. Another reason why I don't think 6.5.5 is needed for a HD2 (but needed for other phone models)

Again, not saying you have a bad 6.5.5 rom (actually it seems faster than the 6.5 rom) but am flashing back to your EXCELLENT 6.5 rom.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] miksi:
I flashed the ROM but it won't work. With older radios (2.06,2.07) I could start the phone, but I can't phone anybody because there's no voice(sound) and then phone is frozen.

Is there any problem with 2.10 ROMs and HD2 model 8585? If there is, it should be sticky warning post or thread.

With radio 2.08 I can't even start the damn thing.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
There is no problem with the 8585 and 2.10 based ROMs.

There's nothing wrong with the ROM or with using 2.07.xx or 2.08.xx radios. If you flash to a newer radio, you need to reflash the ROM, otherwise it might not boot, like you discovered.

2.06.xx radios are not advisable on these 2.10 based ROMs.

If you flashed 2.08.xx and found it won't boot, try flashing again now and it will work....you need to do radio then ROM.
