i had that issue almost every time i put my phone in sleep mode :mad:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] m.e.:
Thanks for new ROM

Installed this ROM, everything works great! :)

Well, one minor issue, does not bother me, but I'll report it anyway: while charging, the charge indicator LED always stays red, no matter how long you charge the phone (overnight should be enough :rolleyes:). Have anyone else seen this?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] heineken78:
Thats is Da_g's rollup tipical issue =) that build is taken from.

If Master say ok, i can share very stable build ;)

I don't want to hijack this thread, but to clarify...when you hit the power button just briefly to turn off the screen is when this happens to my wife.

Is that an issue for all epix owners? She has the stock att rom and even though we tried to flash ID1 it didn't work (I don't think anyway...her GPS is still fine and battery lasts for days).

It is to the point where she has a phone for emergency calls if she pulls the battery and turns it on, but otherwise when the screen is off she has no idea if her phone is working or not. Also any calls or texts sent while it is in this condition never make it to the phone even after reset.

So trying to figure out if flashing a newer ROM like this can help fix her phone or we need to get her a new one. Past the year warranty, but have contract till november. :mad:

Hmmm. The Proxy Manager doesn't seem to like WM6.5 very much. Does anyone remember if it worked properly on trashcan's ROM? The reg edit works but if you accidentally go into the Proxy Manager again it breaks it again...well I've attached the registry edit as a cab file for those who don't want to edit it manually for now.

EDIT: I don't have a data plan anymore but can someone confirm if 3G data still works properly after the registry edit?

Personally I haven't had that problem in a while, but it does happen from time to time. Usually the SMS stays in the database if the phone's off and goes to the phone after it's on...so if you're not getting it in this state, the phone's probably still on and the SMS does go through, but you're just not able to turn it back on. Honestly I don't think its just an Epix problem since I've seen other phones have similar problems. Like heineken said could be just the build problems.

My phone's LED turns green when its fully charged. Strange it's not doing the same for you...never had the problem on any other ROM?

Anyone else have this problem?

Me? Go for it if you want. 28205?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] heineken78:
Do you think I live in Ice Age?

=D

Build 23110 from one HTC device, wont mension model, DD january 2010.SYS Part. Is based on 28xxx branch, but better..

Im working on porting of OEM part, but you dont need it. SYS part is perfect.

Btw 28205 also doesnt have problems, but not so quick.

25xxx releases are so beta, mostly timebombed, they include each new release some new experimental feautures, ex: gwes memory optimising, new mail agents, in compare with 28XXX 25XXX doesnt have new modified themes, have older IE, touch phisics, etc. But anyway,IMHO, cant expect much more than try and delete after.

Tom. I'l upload from work.

Cheerz.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] .fenrir:
Haha =P Didn't realize the SEMC branch has been working hard. All the builds I've tried have been timebombed. Don't see many 25xxx releases though...Isn't 28xxx just a continuation of COM3 from 231xx? I always assumed that from Da_G's thread. Guess I should try out other builds too.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] m.e.:
Turned out it is an issue with USB charger (generic USB charger + Samsung USB cable), LED works fine with Samsung charger.

I'm not sure if phone LED turned green with USB charger before. Maybe this charger is not powerful enough, although the charge percentage does reach 100%.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mmarcoux66:
Yes, works fine after the regedit. Thanks for all the work!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gistofit:
mms issue?

mms is NOT something i use a lot but occasionally someone with send me a pic and i have never been able to download them.

i get a "data connection failed check data connection settings" message followed by a "cannot connect" dialed wap.cingular....with a box to dismiss.

SO....just for kicks i swap sim cards with my wife and with her card in i am able to receive just fine so i do not think it is the phone settings.

so is this just a problem with my data plan? cause i am pretty sure we have the same plan. unlimited texting. could my sim be bad? or some setting ON the sim. do i just need to call att?

am i just an idiot?

let me know thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] .fenrir:
Thanks. Alright, that's good to know. Just glad I'm able to help jump start the i907 community. Might be a bit late, but I know there's still plenty of i907 users out there.

Unlimited texting should be enough for MMS. Have you previously put in a data block on your line? When I canceled my data plan they placed a data block on my line, I didn't realize until months later when I couldn't send/receive MMS. I called them to remove the block and things worked fine again. You should try your SIM card on your wife's phone first just to make sure. I think its either a possible data block on your line or just a very (strange) faulty SIM card. Hope this helps...

On a side note, expect a new updated ROM within the next day or two. I'll also be leaving on a vacation this Saturday (May 25th) for a month. I'll be able to poke my nose in here during my vacation but don't expect much ROM updates. Sorry! Personally I think the ROM's stable enough right now so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

FIX

it was the MediaNet opt out! thanks quick question,quick answer, quick fix!

looking foward to new rom!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] .fenrir:
New updated ROM posted on first post with changes listed. Sorry that its still build 23563, I've been busy packing and haven't had time to trying out different builds. As I updated on the first post I'll be on vacation starting 5/29 until around July. I'll be on here and there but I doubt I'll get any ROM updates in.

Haha your welcome, glad it was the same case. I just so happened to have experienced it in the past otherwise I'd be clueless.

Speed? compare to Trashcan's 28008

Hi,

I've been using Trashcan's 28008 for couple of week, time to time it feels slower than 6.1, I guess that is normal.

Anybody know if this one is faster?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] quadzilla122:
yes this rom is much better
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TeNsTrKe15:
idk what it is but everytime i flash 6.5 roms to my phone, it works fine at first but then like 2 hours with the rom and my text messages can no longer be opened nor can my email :confused: :confused: :confused:

any ideas??
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] .fenrir:
Haha I'm honored my ROM's held is such high regard.

Any apps that you installed? Those could be causing a problem. Personally never had the problem with any ROM and its the first I've heard of this.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TeNsTrKe15:
no, i did not install any apps. im just sure why this is happening so as of now i guess im stayin 6.1
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ftahir:
GPS would not work

I have Garmin and it recognize it as intermediate driver but would not get any signal. I use Igo and it says GPS not detected. I already try changing the port.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] justDave:
Good old "sleep of death"...

Yeah, I've seen this on all my Windows Mobile phones and the Epix seems to be one of the worst. Even when it doesn't go completely dead, it sometimes takes several presses with maybe 10 seconds between each until the phone comes back on. I was hoping this new rom would improve it but it doesn't like like it has so far.

The only advice I have is to avoid using the SD card for anything you leave running. Don't install programs or data files on SD. Google Maps on SD seems to be a common cause but I think it's the use of the SD card rather than any problem with the application itself.

I'm guessing that fiddling with the power management settings would improve/fix this but I haven't tried yet.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] danbutter:
Wow, I have never seen this before on any winmo phones other than the epix and both the wife and I have have winmo for about 5 years now.

Anyway what I did on her epix was to change the "wake up" button to any rather than the power key.

Now since I have done that it has been days since she has had it lock up like that.

She has to lock it now because any bump will turn her phone on, but if it works, it is an improvement.

Don't know if the chefs here put that "wake up" button program into their roms or not. Wife's epix is still stock 6.1.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] .fenrir:
That's incredibly strange. I haven't encountered this at all...any setting changes that could have maybe affected it? And I'll assume you don't have this problem on 6.1?

Dunno about other phones, but on the Epix the Wake Up button setting is part of the OEM.

I always felt installing on the phone was better just cause it does run slower on SD card.

Garmin should work. I changed the default GPS Port to COM 1 specifically so Garmin could work out of the box for it...perhaps try disabling and re-enabling the Intermediate Driver? That's the best advice I can give since there's not much I can on this front aside from revert the GPS port back to GDP 1, how it use to be.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] keff:
I confirm the 'slow microSD card' stuff - I too have problem when multiple apps do a lot of writes and reads to SD card, but it doesn't depend on ROM (6.1/6.5, official/cooked). The problem is that if you have a slow card, a lot of small random reads and writes fill the filesystem buffers, and then the operation timeouts, and after that, WM considers the card unplugged.

To me, this happened mostly when I had both navigation and NaviComputer running with track logging turned on - as I moved, both softwares started loading pieces of map, and the logger was also updating a file every second, this lead to IOException and 'disappearing' of SD card almost every time.

It quite helped to move all files that are being written to internal storage (which has much faster flash controller on Epix), when logging to internal memory, lockups are only ocassional (and almost always related to doing something else - like starting a program from SD card).

The same helped with Opera - it writes a lot of small files to cache, and after reinstalling it to internal storage (instead of SD card), problems disappeared and Opera is much more responsive (on SD cards there were visible lags when writing cache files).

I think that buying a class 6 or class 10 SD card with good 'random read and write of small files' transfer speed would improve situation considerably, there probably is no good software solution.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TeNsTrKe15:
i do not have this problem with 6.1

the only settings i do are the normal, switch to mouse then 4-way navigation to get rid of the mouse artifacts, change my ring, text, email settings...thats it
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gistofit:
anyone familiar with the programs in the startup folder and what they do? I delete all but my personally installed programs and I don't notice a difference. Everything still seems to work as it should which makes me think that they either are not needed or still auto start themselves when they are needed. Any thoughts?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] greg305:
I'm having the same problem with Google Maps. It says there is no GPS device. I've checked the settings to use Com1 but it still doesn't work. Same thing when using GPS Test application.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] justDave:
I finally tried GPS today. No luck. I even tried right after a hard reset. I'm on the pre-ID1 phone rom.

Anyone have any luck with GPS on this rom?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gistofit:
I get a lock no problem defaul settings using navicomputer. Maybe the problem is just in google maps? mine locked on 6 sats within 3 minutes inside my house.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] justDave:
I'll give navicomputer a try but after both Bing and Google failed along with gpstest, I'm not optimistic. Are you on ID1? Did you have to change any GPS settings?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gistofit:
no id1 update(original phone bin). No changed settings (default). Never have run gpstest on his rom. Navicomputer needs pre-loaded maps...which I have on my storage card. I use navicomputer because I do not have a data plan. So I cannot use google maps without access to the internet thus my need for pre-loaded maps. I can try google maps just to see if it works with wifi...maybe that will help narrow things down...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cherrybombaz:
My gps doesn't work either. I tried igo and google maps and neither of them can detect a gps device.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] keff:
Google maps give up searching for position after about a minute, while sucky epix takes about 10 minutes to lock (if it actually has a clear view and internal random generator throws two sixes on dices :))). You need to get a lock with some 'more insistent' program (for example NaviComputer)

and then use google maps.

Epix's GPS sucks (and it's ROM independent - it took 10 minutes to get a lock on every ROM I tried, from 6.1 original, to this one). At least with the 6.5.x ones, when I get a lock once, subsequent locks are much faster, until I take out the battery again (after taking it out, it takes several minutes until Epix sees at least some sattelites, later on it sees about 8-12 instantly, but still takes 5-10 minutes in a good conditions to get a lock).

FYI, I have ID1 update.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] justDave:
That's not it. I used to get really fast locks on the original ROM (no ID1). Much faster than on my Kaiser anyway. Also, I'm not getting a lock at all, even with GPSTest, even after 1/2 hour or more.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] simon1234567:
is it possible to get the update from att to solve the mouse problem?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gistofit:
Mouse Issue Continues...

This question is addressed repeatedly in probably every epix forum...but since this one is new....

the simple answer is no and probably never.

Most of us since the 6.5 roms have just used the 4 way direction function instead of the mouse function anyway. I personally really liked the mouse but because of the artifact issue I just forced myself to use the 4 way and I like it a lot better now. Even if the mouse issue WAS fixed I wouldn't use it.

and just in case anyone else asks more follow up questions...NO this is not something that trashcan or fenrir can fix. probably ever. so it is either samsung releases the "february 2010" i mean "april 2010" i mean never update....we won't get a fix and even if they do release an update (which no one is waiting for anymore) it MIGHT not have fixed the mouse issue.

also FYI....although the mouse is "disabled by default" in fenrir's roms the artifact (screen pixels messed up) is STILL there UNLESS you toggle the mouse on and off (you have to do this every time you reboot your phone) by pressing fn + m twice on the home screen. (non-fenrir roms are fn + n which doesn't make any sense so fenrir changed the "n" to "m")

EDIT: Mouse Issue Fixed!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] .fenrir:
Still on vacation, just managed to find an internet connection but its as slow as dialup. I'd try to fix the GPS problem but I forgot my USB cable for my Epix back at home. If I do manage to find a better connection I'll upload a new ROM (maybe a new build too?) with a hopeful fix to the GPS but without my USB cable I can't really test it so its not guaranteed. Hope everyone can bare with it in the meantime. It maybe incredibly inconvenient but if you really need the GPS, I believe the previous ROMs I had it working.

People just don't like reading long old threads, can't be helped I guess. FN + M use to be for MediaNet, so they made the N the mouse since it was close to it...B's for bluetooth toggle and H is for the headset manager. I believe I made the B and M unchangeable since I doubt anyone would really change it to anything else.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] porkenhimer:
Go to the windows folder scroll down to gprsmgr.exe, pick AT&T USA, wait till it says provisioning succeeded, now close & soft reset. GPS will now connect through your data connection. Been posting this fix for a year but people usually don't read the threads they usually just post. Go to start>settings>connections>gprs authentication before and after and u will see the difference the fix makes.

Report after a month with this build

I had this build installed for a month, the build performs great.

The reliability for me is close or slightly better than trashcan's build. I did had couple times when I had to pull the battery, but the original Samsung's ROM was much worse, and trashcan's ROM is about the same or slightly worse.

Couple bugs I've found in this build that I do not remember in 28008 trashcan used:

1) I've Exchange account, and when I scroll through e-mail accounts at the home screen, Exchange account appears two or three times in the list (i.e. the loop goes Messages -> Gmail -> Exchange -> Exchange -> Exchange). Anyone else has this issue?

2) Voice Command is set to announce via Bluetooth only. But sometimes after disconnect/reconnect, VC would do announcements via loudspeaker (it is like it realized the Bluetooth is connected, and thus does the announcement, but failed to reconnect sound output to Bluetooth).

Also, I don't have any numbers, but it feels like some apps start slower than with trashcan's build. It is not an issue with most, but some like Trapster start really slow.

Neither of these issues are blocking, but maybe we can find a better WM build next time.

The official update actually came true. Haven't installed it yet (can't at work), but will do it tonight for sure.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] .fenrir:
That's great to hear. I've been back from vacation for a few days and have been working on a new build but seeing as how we actually got an official update, I'll hold off on posting it until I implement the update with it. Best part is that the mouse is fixed according to Tenstrke. This is great news for the i907 community, as well as the i780 with a WM6.5 compatible mouse driver.

EDIT: Well I got work in a half a hour but I quickly unpacked the Official Update, and I guess I shouldn't be surprised by this, but the ATT junk is back, so yay to cleaning it up again. Samsung used build 21895 for the update if anyone cares to wonder. By quick comparison to the original ROM, they did take out some of the Samsung junk surprisingly, but at the same time they managed to add some new junk too. Well that's it for now, I'll start cracking at it after work.

Well I don't have an Exchange account so I can't really test that out, hopefully that's more of a build issue than anything else. I'll see what I can do about the Voice Command though.

*CAUTION* maybe...

so before everyone flashes...

do we know if this fixes the ID1 update problems? (mainly gps)

do we know if this CAUSES similar ID1 problems?

am i right in thinking that an extracted and cooked rom would be safer because we only update the bin rom and not the phone part? (which messed up peoples gps)

maybe this new samsung update breaks things too.

any other thoughts of caution?
