Hi!
I successfully upgraded my P3300 NOR to WM6 WWE, but there is some new "features" in WM6 that I don't appreciate that much:
1) In the message application the left soft button is changed from new to delete. This I find rather irritating because the majority of times I want to compose a new message, not delete one (I almost never deletes messages). I know there has been some discussion concerning this issues over in the hermes forum.
2) When writing a new text message (or e-mail for that sake) and you start typing in the to field, WM5 displayed a list of matches from your contacts that you could pick from, and the field populated itself with the right information. This is not happening on my device after upgrading, is it a setting that controls this behavior or do we have to hack something to accomplish this?
Any suggestions on how to solve these issues?
Regards,
PK
I know what you mean with the Delete in messages, its a right pain!
With regards to the contacts, mine kind of works, I use transcriber and if you write say A it comes up with the A's or some of them at the bottom of the screen.
If you click one it just inserts it after what you put, so for example you'd get To: A; Amy(m);
Which seems to kind of be a waste of time as you then have to go and delete the A bit?

Hi!
Thanks for reply! In WM5 (at least on my device) the item you picket from the list replaced what you already had wrote, so there the functionality made sense. If this is not true on WM6 then it's absolutely wast, as you pointed out.
Regards,
PK
On my device the thing with the contacts work just like in WM5... It does not work if i your Phonepad, but with the normal keyboard, a smal rectangualr pops up with the Result matching my already typed letters, i then can pick a contact and the device replaces my input with the number...
And the Thing with "Delete" instead of "New" is really a senseless change, although im usign the WM5 New Menu in my Today screen, where i can assign a Softbutton with "New..." and then creat a SMS, email, Task or Note, whatever you desire, so i never really go through the messaging -> new menu...
Can anyone help me please? I live in the US and bought my Orbit directly from a Hong Kong dealer through Ebay. Now I want to upgrade to WM6 but the website keeps telling me that the S/N is wrong. My S/N is not in white as it says - it is on a white label and the text is in black. The S/N is S/N:HTXXXAAXXXXX with a B after a few spaces where the XX are numbers and the AA are letters. No matter how I try to enter the number (with the S/N, without the S/N, with the :, without the :, with the B, without the B) it tell sme that my number is invalid. Is the problem that my phone came from Hong Kong and the number doesn't match the UK version? Will Tom's B&B version work for me in the US? Please help.
Dont bother - Ive got a better idea for you...
Dude,
dont bother with the "official" WM6... look in here for the PDAVIET 4.0 update. its the same as WM6, but our friend Tom has added some apps, and tidied it up so much that its a wonder O2 havent snapped him up as a designer. the downloads are far more available, and you wont regret upgrading.
Good luck, and Rock on.
I agree with him
Why bother with O2 when there is our Tom.He shud be the design manager of HTC

My Orbit can upgrade with wm6 German Rom. This Link to download: http://www.o2online.de/nw/support/downloads/software/xda/xdaorbit/index.html
I sucess upgraded, but I can't use more fuction of my phone. Because I don't know German Language.
I need English wm6 rom for my Orbit. Please help me...

tough choice when there isn't a windows pc in sight and you only have FF, seamonkey or konquerer coz opera is broken. i'll try with konq but if not looks like i'll be hitting one of the mirrors.
fyi, i'm an it tech with a passion for hating MS. only got the phone coz the budget was tight and vodafone like to sell their treo with wm5 at an extrotionate price.
every one seems to be a techy these days yet i still manage to beat o2 (after a 15 minute fone call to there xda tech guys who's response was the download is not available) that was using firefox
gave IE7 a go thought why not and it accepted my S/N and downloaded
use the 02wm6 rom supplied then
FYI i hate MS to but im lazy and it works lol if not i force it to

If it is an Orbit AKA Artemis, tom rom will work. Before flashing remember to run USPL, or u might brick u'r device
Cheers

well it doesn't work in konq, FF or it's big bro seamonkey. i did manage to fix opera and scored. dunno if i'll install it tho coz the app i need to use to sync the device on linux doesn't really work with wm6 afaik
i done mine in boot loader mode
just plugged in device and openned rom
2mins later job done
no WMDC installed
(ive had it a week my 1st PDA if you a IT dude you should manage more than i can )
your right i can but knowing how to code a program to be compatible with the changes in wm6 is different to knowing how to repair a system (which is what i do). So in the sync program department i have to rely on other people in the linux community and i'm really not sure if i could get a good sync out of it with the pda running wm6
Just FYI I had this problem (but now got BB4) I managed to download the official O2 WM6 use internet explorer, no capital letters and include the letter at the end.
Hope this helps

well i just put in the first 14 characters including the "HT" part. all lowercase and as i said i used opera. i have been told that wm6 works with "synCE" (the linux sync tool i have to use) as long as you don't password protect anything. so i may install it when i get time.

I dought it, 'cause first off, there's no official wm6.5 , so how can there be a wm7.0 update, and maybe an 3VO, not even close, unless they stole the rom's name from oOkBa himself.
Ookba created the name of 3VOlution Roms, so i don't see how you could have a 3VO update unless coming from oOkBa.
Every single 6.5 rom running on ppc's or smarphone's are all beta, all of them.
Further more if M$ ever get off their a$$ and release a true official Windows Mobile Rom update for the 6.1 , either a 6.5 or a 7.0, it won't be for the Dash/Excalibur, it will be for a much newer device with a much faster processor and lots more ram. Shoot go ask ookba how hard was for him to get the wm6.5 to work as smooth as it does now on the dash.
no. no . i haven't link! It was a warning message on my s620 ,but i was ay work so i ignored it!! It was happen the same in August..and in fact after some days Evo rom 2.50 was out! I don't know exactly why!

I think he's forgetting something, before M$ releases any rom, it will be here, being used by us, as we are the beta testers
I do not know why but I swear .. is the second time that this happens!
and every time I'm busy and I can not understand the meaning of the message because i press dismiss this
ufff!!
I also thought that maybe this is a message on the wm 6,5 official rom based...somehow reach users of that ROM!!
but surely I'm wrong!!

I have an official WM 6.5 ROM not yet released for the Maple. To be honest, it sucks. It looks excatly like WM 6.1 that shipped with the Maple with 2-3 extra apps and Windows Skymarkey that doesn't even work yet. No Titanium, nothing worth an upgrade. Lol.
Also, the only HTC devices scheduled for an official WM 6.5 update are the HTC Maple (SNAP, Dash3G), HTC Cedar (Ozone), and HTC Willow (HTC Snap S511).

Well, I don't know about this ... but I definitely will go with Vonrottes post. Maybe it's spam. Also, remember that evo roms doesn't have any windows update features in their rom versions so far...if I can recall. Regarding your screenshots get smartoolkit it has a very simple feature to capture a screenshot in your mobile or google it to find other app in the web.
ok...i will do..for next time!
now..after almost 7 days from usual message on my excalibur..EVO rom have an update!! Coincidenze????

hello to everyone here in xda
I just got my sprint tp2 three weeks ago because i needed a winmo cellphone to install chinese dictionary/1,500mah battery/hardware keyboard/ and something different than samsung, (last phone was samsung innov8)
I've modded my phone little by little by lurking, but there's some annoying issues that i've been trying to solve by searching the internet and xda forums but couldn't find it, like:
(using today's screen)
-making the contacts remember the setting "filter by Device Contacts",
it always display "all contacts" <--- Big headache...
-that same contact's menu uses big fonts, i've changed the fonts to small text, but still couldn't make it smaller (attached file)
-adding and removing things on windows today screen(attached file)
-any good converter to change money, mass, temperature....
I've changed rom, but the same problem were still on the original sprint 6.5 rom, software information are:
OS version: 5.2.21889 (21889.5.0.87)
Manilla: 2.5.2010121225.0
ROM : Mr.X ROM 2.5
Rom date 04/10/10
Radio version 2.32.00WF
thanks !

I can't really help with the other issues, but I can easily recommend uConvert as the best measurement converter available for the TP2. There's a basic version available for free (cab is attached below), but for $.99 you can purchase the full version which just unlocks some more types of measurements and units.
More details: http://uconvert.us/
thanks.. ! i wonder if... nobody have this problem on their sprint tp2 or they just use sim contacts???

hello peopple i just had for many years a HD2 , now i got a brand new HTC One X, the truth iam lost with android system , I dont know where to star y have being out of developers for amost a year, some can tell me where to look? what can i do with this divice? thanks in advance, sorry for my inglish
honestly mate you should check out the threads here in the hox section also you should check videos in youtube out to see what youre able to do. you will find a lot of stuff and with the time learn a lot about android. congrats to your jump to android and have a lot of fun with it.
maybe you should go read the manual?
many years with HD2 but you didnt try android on that? man~~ that thing is a beast.
Open the list of all your apps, there's an HTC app, I'm guessing it's called "Show" in English (I have the Dutch version myself, so I'm not sure what it's called in English), it has a green round icon with a white "i" in the middle. Open this one, it asks you to download new explanations. This app basically explains everything that is on your phone and how to use it. Have fun!
