so i instaleld the beta.. the setup went throught really nice..
here are my current problems i dont like..
1- When searching for contacts the hey pad 1~9.. corresponds to the alphanumeric a~z's.. this is really annoying and hard to search for contacts..
example.. If you press the E(3) button.. it searched for a,b,c
2- Windows live messenger forcefully makes you sync your phone's contacts with your msn/hotmail contacts.. this is pretty dumb,
i'll be posting more issues as they come up
1 is valid.
2 is the Windows Live experience. It's not a bug.
My thoughts...
There are bugs listed in the other thread. You may want to check there before posting any. That's where I posted mine.
Don't forget that it's a leaked beta that we shouldn't even have...
-Mc
ya i think ill be waiting for the release
well.. number one is bugging me.. i tried to remap the keys.. and it ended up locking out the keyboard.... took me 3 hours to fix

Hi guys,
I've seen the thread from Midget but I have to say I don't feel like going through the 200 posts to see if everyone is happy.
Could someone do a small list of is working and what is not?
I've seen people getting problem with Office files, backlight sensor, wifi, freezing screens ....
Well my question is should I flash my Exec?
Thanks
Alternatively, you could read those 200 posts and learn for yourself.
There are 3 versions of the same base image, each thread has people's posts relating to it.
Don't be so lazy.
Almost
Ok I'll make it short !
I'm just gonna use the calendar, contacts, tasks, office mobile, explorer, live messenger and Skype on the wifi.
As anyone had any problems trying to use those features ?????
I only have internet at work for the next few weeks and i don't really have time to go for all the posts.
Thank for your help.
All of those will work.
And really, if it takes you more than a little while to read that one thread.......
I recommend you read it, it will save you asking the same things other have asked.
The programs auto close when running in the background
this is a useful feature
but annoying if you need to use 2 apps at the same time
Core player does not open Video files

For me, not until the Video Call is working.
Keep your ROM in safe backup, the ROMs are removed on the request of you know by who.
The only one left is the one on the Rapidshare.
I have the same opinion. I wont install a WM6 ROM until the videocall issue is solved!

Video call is not working on both Infidel and Midget's ROM over 3G networks??
Yes this is the real thing!
I can't believe how long it took for this to get out to the public finally. This is works (so far for over 1 week) great on my T-Mobile Dash. I didn't need to CID unlock it or anything (though i believe I tried application unlock app and that didn't seem to have worked). This is T-Mobile branded so if you have a different carrier there MAY be some modification required for proper function...though I wouldn't really know since I use T-Mobile -
This thing has it all working so far except the T-Zones in WINWAP. It tells you this version of WinWAP is not supported by tmo..if you are testing you are using an unregistered version and you should contact your test lead to get it registered...No biggie because you can access your account info via the new IE browser.
The new IE Browser is quicker and more functional in general. You also get Live! Search for 411 directory (which can dial/add to contacts directly from there!!!!) also Satellite and road map/GPS/directions/traffic... oh yes no bull... It has Windows LIVE! messenger and email integration to your home screen which is still buggy (gives error and you need to change to another home screen). Tmobile Blue home screen works fine...though there is a BETA stamp in the lower right corner (Also a big red UI TEST BUILD notice when you turn on the phone...oh well).
Anyways...I'm sure you've read all about the new features forever and been pissed that a couple of leaks for other version were out but not our beloved Dash. Here it is guys...Oh yes not a virus either.
Just one bit of advice. BE PATIENT DURING THE UPGRADE !!! It may look like it freezes at some points, but trust me it didn't.
File named RUU_Excalibur_TMO_US_1.20.531.1_4.1.13.34_02.79.90_Test.exe and it is 44.7 MB
Since I can't attach it here to the post I am posting the link to a torrent site which I've...yeah...well it's there and it works:
http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/1061423/4574331/
If for some reason the link doesn't work go to the main webpage and search...if you STILL can't find it...you don't need to be upgrading your phone - you'll probably break something lol
fo a second there i thought you had a different beta rom this has already been posted but thanks anyways!
thanks for posting a link, but this has been discussed in this forum for two weeks and there are a few threads that discuss different aspects of this rom. you really should do a little research as you will find fixes for a few of the small bugs you are no doubt experiencing
argh...I searched and didn't see any thread clearly saying there was something for the excalibur...maybe I should have looked closer. Sorry guys, but hey - it's another source to download it from I guess. Hopefully someone finds this useful.
Didn't mean to make it seem like I released something "newer" -
oh well - This site rox
i got wm6 black and once i open SMS up..
the soft key on the left handside is "delete" i wanted to chante to "new"
can someone tell me how to do that please?
thanks.
This is asked for in another thread as well, but not answered I'm afraid. Seems like it's hardcoded in tmail.exe, so there's no way to change it like a normal softkey or in the registry or something.
The delete button is bugging me as well...
I have been searching for this in the registry but i can't find it. I want to change this softkey to new as it used to be in WM5, as it easier to press the softkey then go through the menus while in the car.
If any of the gurus out there can help out on this one..........................
There is a work around with this, if you use the softkey changer and apply one of your soft keys in the today screen to New SMS it will take you directly to a new SMS message. I don't you will find the solution that you are looking for without alot of trial and error. This might help in the mean time.
As Video calling has been disabled in the new WM6 Roms i have used the Video calling button on the Uni as the 'new' key which does get me around but its still so annoying where i am so used to pressing this button when looking at other messages to create new messages and now when i press it it asks if i want to delete the txt.

Yes., it's annoying. But what is really amazing is the utter twat that came up with this change and the equally dumb twats that said "Good idea! Let's do it". Really.

Your Welome!
I agree that it's frustrating that they changed the key to delete. I personally delete very few messages, and if I do I delete a whole batch of them in one go, the new button is one which I use MUCH more than delete.
Anyway, I was wondering if you might be able to help me with another issue which I'm having. When I open a message (email or text) it jumps down to the bottom of the page. Has anyone else experienced this, or is it just me?

My guess is that this was a customer-driven change requested by some of the huger Windows Mobile customers.
I'm not sure what is your background, but I am a "corporate type" and I receive about 100-200 messages per day in my Activesync inbox. I usually reply to messages rather than writing new ones.
I use the Delete key MUCH more frequently than the New key so this is a welcome change for me. Most messages are FYIs or system notification messages, or long threads (and I can read just the last message in the thread and then toss all earlier messages).
Have you changed the size of your scroll bars? if so change them back to default (13) i think.

Here's another preformatted shortcut. I found the one attached by Mike in post #6 just opened my Inbox. It was easily modified using the link he provided, but for the lazy ones among us! This one opens a new (blank) SMS, tested on my Exec running Jwrightmcps Crossbow ROM Update 2.02.02 WWE.
Unzip the file, and copy it to wherever you want on your device.

This only start the messaging application and go into the SMS view.
It doesn't start a new SMS ; at least not with my Schap's ROM with SMS/MMS combined.
EDIT: Works with the new .lnk file ; Thanks !
Thank you Mike the link to the Modaco site was the solution I was looking for. I created that sms.lnk shortcut and then assigned it as a softbutton on my today screen, now with one click I have a blank SMS ready for sending. Works like a charm.
Hello,
i've flashed my german T-Mobile MDA with an Windows Mobile 6 O2 Image.
When i go to the sms inbox the left softkey is set on the "delete"-function.
Before flashing to windows mobile 6 there was the "new"-function attached. This is IMHO much more useful against delete which you can also do in the context-menu quick and easy.
How can i get it back? Is there any registry hack ore something i didn't found yet?
Thanks for help.
Agree with you....very strange this function...
noticed this too - wired, 2 extra button presses... i suppose they need to warrant the new version some way!
Well I prefer it
I much prefer having the delete in the left softkey... brilliant improvement, especially if using for email... quick look at the message in the list and delete it... much beter than having the new button there.
It your only reply who prefer it to be like this.
I have searched the whole world for this thread & saw nobody saying "I prefer".
I don't know who the hell MS* researched for this preference.

Because I prefer it too, but I don't feel the need to announce all my preferences to the world as routine.

Hello all,
I'm a noob in winmo and smart phones. Didn't want a smart phone until the start of the year where my business started to get busy. I needed to respond to clients sooner even when I'm on the road. I did not want to get an iphone as I did not want to be just another guy who has it. lol.
I almost bought a palm pre but did not like the keyboard I looked at nokia smart phones but didn't like it either. I then saw the TP2's keyboard and fell inlove with it.
Not knowing what winmo is but I was set to get this phone. I am so glad I waited for this phone because it passed my expectations and the fact that I found this website (checking it everyday now), this phone will do what I need it to do and entertain me (tweaks) for quite some time.
Anyway, that is my intro. I have questions regarding email and flash using IE.
I have 2 email accounts setup on my phone. My first account (gmail) doesn't have an email at all. I received couple of emails 2 days ago and I'm surprised to see that its not there anymore. My wife's iphone can see all the messages in the gmail server even the sent mails. Is there a way to have that same setup on our phones?
And lastly, my understanding is that IE has flash support, however when I was looking at a website that has a flash video, all I see is the flash icon with "9". Can someone steer me to the right direction?
I know this is quite long but thank you very much for your time. I am really enjoying my first ever smart phone, winmo and this awesome website. I hope I can contribute to this site in the near future

Thanks again for the link.. I realized that I've already read the page page that you linked, so did you mean that I need to flash my stock rom and use another install another rom to have the ability to view flash websites?
I am actually trying to wait for this guy to make a bloatware remover on Tilt2 before messing with other ROMs (as much as I want my phone to be very fast)
Thanks

Have you tried using Opera Mobile instead of IE on the site? I find that that Opera usually plays flash videos better than IE, even though they use the same flash plugin. For example, YouTube plays fine on Opera, but shows the 9 in place of a video on IE.
As for the page previously linked to by WillardZ, I think he thought you were talking about flashing ROMs. There is no requirement I am aware of to flash a new ROM for browser flash support, unless there is no flash at all included in your ROM (not the case here), in which case you could flash to one that does. I hope that clarifies it for you.
DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Thank you very much for clarifying that.. I tried using opera mobile on www.videosbyccp.com The main page has flash video and I can't even see the flash icon, its completely blank..
I'm going to try to download skyfire and I hope that works..
Thank you once again..
niM
Dave or anyone,
You said you can view youtube videos no problem using opera. However, mine says ..
"Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Download flash player"
I checked my opera setting and javascript is checked the whole time. So obviously some of my settings are different from yours and I hope you or anyone would like to help me.
I installed skyfire, although my wife can play farmville (very laggy), I'm hating the crappy display..
Thank you very much.
