Im right there with you. I downgraded this afternoon. While I like the newer interface of 6 I am much happier with the stability of 5. Less rebooting and no more damn reboot loops. WooHoo back to TXTMAN!
i got it thx
I went back to WM5 today also. I wanted my SMS mail triggers from Tmobile. Now I am going to try and cook up the best of both worlds. Perhaps IE, windows media, and the HTML mail part of WM6. I already have office from WM6 loaded.
Keep us posted on your cooking.
Cooking
Ok I took the easy way out here guys. After reinstalling WM5 I copied the files out of it. Then put WM6 back on it. Once WM6 was installed I then followed the directions I found here (http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=239456) too fix the SMS triggered push mail. I have also fixed the alert problem with a .cab file found in this forum. So now I have WM6 HTML mail with the WM5 SMS triggers working. I still have a few problems with WM6, locking up more then WM5 ever did. I think that the lock up are a memory problem more then anything, WM6 is such a hog. Next up is to find a fix for the annoying beap when wifi is connecting or found.

Anybody try to "cook" the Adobe Reader LE included in WM6 onto the Dash running WM5 (just like putting WM6's Office Mobile onto WM5) ?
is the wm5 rom still available? I could not find it on that link. I have the Dash with WM6 and want to flash back to wm5.
Thanks.

Hello,
I update my MDA pro to the new imate ROM but my emailaccount keep vanishing after a softreset has anyone any clue?
Thanx
same here
but on my device it was like this also before the upgrade?
which device dou you have, and which rom you had before upgrading to the jasjar rom?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=161019#161019
dont soft reset using a stilys. Use a program to allow flush the file bufferssss
yeah, thanks but.
i know that and honestly i still have to try it. BUT:
I just want to know WHY this happens, and WHY other users with the same ROM as mine is DONT have this problem.
And, if i incidentally do a Softreset or maybe take out the battery, i lose my account again! thats not a solution for me.
Anyways thanks for your hint . apreciate that.
can you confirm my thought about the battery? or maybe its REALLY losing the accounts just after a Stylus reset?
It hapened to me time ago.. Some programs, like outlook, dont flush their databases buffers each moment. So, if you create a new account, or delete some mails or sms (this actions modify the database files managed by outlook) and then you reset your pda using the stylus, many buffer may be not empty so you loose that information. When you reset your pda using a program (it uses a API funcion that allow the buffers to be flushed to their files) all the information is saved in disk and you wouldnt hava to loose anything.....
thnx
thats was a clear explanation, thank you.
Any ideas why this happens only on some devices, even if they have the same rom?
I ve repeated the test right now. I have sent a email to my account in gmail(this account is configured in my jasjar). I ve connected using UMTS an and i ve downloaded the mail. then a i ve soft reset using stylus. When the device has booted i have launched pocket outlook and the mail wasnt there. I ve downloaded the mail again and a i ve done soft reset using a program (handy meny). When the system has booted the mail was there. Conclusion: I supose Outlook use the api fuction "CeWriteRecordProps" to update or insert a new record in the outlook database and probably Windows Mobile 2005 uses a buffer policy to reduce the access to these databases. so, if windows hasnt written this records fisically to disk then you can lose some information if you reset using stylus. When you use a program to reset, windows informs to the device drivers that "sleep" is in progress and they have to save the unsaved information so the disk driver has a chance so save all.
I hope Microsoft change this policy soon.....
so you...
...think this happens on all HTC Universals?
I think it happens in all Windows Mobile 2005 devices....
ok, i´ll let you know in the next days...
...then i´ll receive some more universals. and also one of a freind of mine, who told me that he hasn´t got this problem. i don´t know if its true, but we will see...
I don't know.I ve repeteated this test with my jasjar and my himalaya(with magneto) with same results
i can confirm...
...your description to 100% !
with a "soft"-softreset everything is fine.
and i´ve found out why other devices semmed to do NOT have the problem. Those users setted up their account, and had serveral (100+) mails ond their pop-server. Poutlook took a few minutes tu download headers and part of the messages. in this time the "buffer" was "written back" to the mail-db.
So: I think that for now, all the WM5, or at least all UNIVERSALS got this problem. Some user just don´t realize it.
Now that we (well,i) now that it is not a problem of just my device, FOR NOW i think i can live with this solution. btw, i use Pocket Plus 3 as task manager and Softresetter.
thnx dherrero.
Thanx DHerrero
After your tip I used spb pocketplus 3.0 and the softreset works wonderfully!
Thanx for the workaround hope they'll fix it soon because pocketplus makes the system very slow.[/list]
strange....
With Pocketplus my system runs fast as always, no problems at all.
Pocketplus
Probably due too a combination of software then.
I'll work it out if you say its not due too SPB Pocketplus
Thanx
you re wellcome. There are many programs to soft-reset the device "softly" and thye dont brake the system.... For example Hany Menu and much more.. :lol:
Hi I just bought MDA Pro badged as T-Mobile in Brunei. The software it came with is O2 !! ?? so someone has changed it from the German OS from original T-Mobile maybe and made it English using O2 software maybe.
Anyway it all works ok apart from I can't synch to my PC running MS Outlook 2003.
I have updated my Active synch to 4.1. My old XDAII still synchs no problem but new MDA gives support code 85010014.
Any ideas
Many thanks
if you can do all the other syncing but not the office2003 sync you should repair your installation of office2003. it is there in the help tab.
Thanks for the help but I have already tried that. Also reinstalled activsync and repaired it. I see from other sources on the web (take a look at google) that this is happening to a LOT of users but NO answers yet. Not that seem to WORK anyway and OF COURSE nothing from MS!!
Just do search for the error code here in the forum and I'm sure you'll find an answer.
I'm not quite sure, as I recall you need to unistall & reinstall outlook, as well as deleting more than one or two partnership is in active sync.
Thanks
Agile crashes on my blue angel anybody know were to get a cab with OZ im in it?
Yea, there ya go: http://seamonkey420.tech-recipes.com/mda_wm5/zips/My_TMO_cabs.zip
sort of related question, are these the files which would customise the phone for T-Mo? I just saw a friends older HP phone from TMo and the Today screen had a bunch of stuff which was T-Mo specific - battery meter,call log, etc....I would like that!!!! :roll:
any idea if this would do? and is OZ IM better than Agile? I just installed that last night... :?
many thanks for any answers!
Kaz
are you talking about the Win32 API error when trying to run it on WM5? I somehow managed to make it work on the latest logout rom but when I reflashed it and tried installing it a second time it gave the error again.. so far nothing I've seen is as good as agile..
Another Option...
Why not use IM+?
I have used it on both WM2K3 and WM5 flawlessly... built in support for Yahoo, AOL, MSN, ICQ, Jabber and GoogleTalk... and configurable for any other if you know the settings...
I've never tried IM+.
Have you ever though of using regular AIM? I wish there was an update to AIM 2.0 though, I love being able to custmomize my away messages. Its just that the vibrate feature does not work.
I'm sure one of you have seen this message before. I'm not sure why I'm getting it, but I have a good idea to guess why. I installed Black 2.0 over cingular's old rom. I then installed T-Mobile's cab file found here, but not for US. I was hoping the servers were the same, but apparently not. Anyway, after attempting to uninstall the cab, I still found some traces of the settings set in the phone. I made sure all those were deleted and installed the information manually for T-Mobile in the US.
I'm using T-Mobile's triggering software, so I went through the registry steps outlined here: http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=239456
to have my email triggered via sms messages to check for email.
The problem: Everytime I manually or trigger check my emails, I get the following message from Outlook on my TyTn:
Messaging (Window)
"You are currently roaming. Synchronizing may result in additional charges."
I know for a fact I'm not roaming. Any help here? I couldn't find anything close on the search through the forums. T.I.A.

This has nothing to do with the BLACK2 rom. it has got to do with the CAB you installed from Tmobile.
If its not the cab, then its your telco/carrier.
Also, dont start a new thread, this thread should be migrated with the Black official thread where issues are discusses.

jj, it's only a problem with Outlook messaging. Do you know of a method to disable this check in the registry? I'd hate to hardreset everything to realize it wasn't the cab file I installed. Much help appreciated and great job on this app.
I don't think it's just with Outlook and not just with the Black ROM. I've experienced the same error/behavior with XpressMail (push) from Cingular. I have not found a solution.

Are you using T-Mobile (US) SIM card in your Cingular 8525?
No, Cingular SIM, Cingular service. I have also not installed any additional CABs. I also have never had any other problems with phone/data transfer/email, just XpressMail for some reason. Every time XpressMail thought about doing something it replied "...Roaming..."

Interesting. Is your Outlook working fine? I haven't tred XpressMail. I also get the triangle at the top of my phone (meaning roaming). I don't see why I'm roaming if I'm connected to T-Mobile's network. i'm confused madly.
Ok I confirmed it's definately not the radio 1.40.xx. JJ said it wasn't WM6 - Black 2.0 and I agree with him to some point.
So i went to use the latest WM5 Shipped Rom from Cingular/ATT: RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_2_1_.15.502.3_6275_1.40.30 .00_108_Ship.exe
Get this!!! You ready??! Interesting find... I got the roaming icon after the WM5 OS was built. But! When it installed ATT's branded stuff from the extended ROM, the freakin roaming icon went away. Something in there changed it. We must disect this and figure it out. Any takers? I'd love to go back to wm6 but I won't until this is fixed.
Anybody found a solution to this? I have just upgraded my Cingular 8525 to WM6 (Black 3.01 and then 3.5), applied the Cingular settings CAB, and I am getting this error as well.
No Fix
Still no fix for this. Sad to say bro, that JJ seems to be the only guy that should know the packaging of his black tyron roms, but the seems he doesn't care given he doesn't live in the US where it appears we suffer from these roaming icons. His latest build of Blacks (Tyron's) Shadow is most definately monstracity, but again, I can't use it with the annoying roaming icon trying to check my email and it won't because it think's i'm roaming where I know I'm not. WM5 seems to be the only solution for now until I get some hacker to figure it out. No time for me since I'm hella busy.
its an issue with cingular period! reflash to black4.0 and dont use Xpressmail its ****!! use activesync with excahnge 2007 and you will not get the roaming message.. also do not install the Cingular settings with the cab set them by hand and dont use MediaNet use wap.cingular

I am using Black 2.0. I love it btw.. Problem is with Yahoo Go (I guess ver 1; 2.0 not available)
Seems to work ok and lists/syncs emails however when I go to look at an individual mail all i see is a blank white screen. I suspect this may have to do with the outlook upgrade. Is anyone else experiencing this? I tried direct POP access and it works fine.

I rec'd the same issues when trying to use wm6 with yahoo go, i believe that yahoo go is only workable with wm5.
I am having the same problem.
I tried several WM6 ROM flavors and all have the same problem.
Black 3.0.1
Black Dymond
LVSW's latest
faria's latest
This is a known issue .. to-date, Yahoo Go does not work with WM6
Heh... did they finally release Go! for the Hermes family? Last I checked it said "not yet available for your WM5 device."

Never formally released, but you can pull a WM5 windows version off the web which works fine on the hermes ... unfortunately not WM6 yet (to my knowledge)
I've gotten Yahoo! Go to work with my WM6 device.
The problem everyone seems to be having is that when one goes into the message, a blank white screen appears, correct?
The same thing happened to me. So from that 'white screen' message, I scrolled to the next message, and voila! I could see my messages again.
I guess this wont work if you only have one email in your Yahoo! mailbox, but it's better than nothing, eh?

Thanks, is this 2.0?
Back on my Symbian, Yahoo Go was great. Not too much of a battery or resource drain. However on WM6, holy crap, it is a huge hog. I had it for a
about two days before I gave it up.
Since battery life is most important to me, I decided to stick with Windows Live instead.
Hi,
I'm from Malaysia and when I try to download Yahoo Go using my mobile number it says that the version is not available yet.
I'm wondering if someone could post the cab file here or somewhere where I can download to test it out.
Thanks.
