Any new development or fix for getting sling player mobile to work with wm6?
I thought i put a post yesterday about it, but it must have been deleted. I didn't add it to the XDA live or vanilla threads, since it doesn't seem to work on either version..SO i guess its just a WM6 thing..
Has anyone been able to get sling player mobile to work on any version of wm6?
No it is missing an audio codec or atleast the correct reference to it, we do no know which codec either.
I have the request in with engineers at sling, but no response. I am working through some other registry stuff but nothing yet.

Yea, I re-installed WM6 on my universal and tried sling and it doesn't work on that version of WM6 either. I called in a support ticket to sling and they were basically no help. Aware of the problem, but since WM6 is not officially released for hermes devices or universal devices, it was not high on their list to fix. Although, they admitted a future fix may become available. They said they hoped to have a fix available when WM6 devices become more officially released. And then may only work on the devices that are officially supported as WM6 devices.
We r keeping track of this over here

it seems that whatever is TCPMP slingplayer from working is also messing with slingplayer.

What devices actually officially have WM6, we should call a trouble ticket on that. Tech support piss me off. They want to know which device so they can say it is unsupported, but really it is WM6 and not the device.

I've upgraded my wing to wm6.1 and my slingplayer quit working as well. Now I'll post a note with sling media requesting an upgrade.
Edit: I tried the different fixes suggested in the referenced threads but they didn't work for me. It installs fine, it locates my box fine, tried to connect then errors. It did work on wm6 but not 6.1.
I have Sling Mobile working on WM6. Are you referring to 6.1? If you're talking about 6 then I'm not sure why mine works but I will be happy to list all of my specs.

Same here, it works fine for me on WM6, VP3G 3.62.3 firmware, radio 1.54.30.10....
I've got TNT 6.1 ROM loaded on my device and SlingPlayer works fine. There shouldn't be a problem with WM6 or WM6.1 that I've seen and I've flashed both versions in last few months and have used SlingPlayer. I'd make sure your passwords are all correct and that you are making sure you are using the admin password if that box is checked.

When I am connected to my wifi at home, I can connect fine on wm6.1. As soon as I go back to Edge (T-mobile) - it tells me it can't connect. Hmmm.
radio = 03.07.90
Sling Player
I have had no problems with Sling player on mine using any of the 6.0 or 6.1 versions so far. I am currently using Faria R32 and it streams just fine.
I realize that BBC is very low on most people wish list here but until our company upgrades to Exchange 2007 later this year, I am forced to use the Blackberry Connect client if I am to carry my preciouse 8525 instead of a blackberry. I just got the BBC working on WM5 in 3G and am thrilled. However, having tasted the great WM6 Roms here, I must have it!
Does anyone have a good WM6 rom that the Blackberry Connect client actually works on without having to hack the OS? I'm fairly technical since I manage our IT facility and can reg edit, etc, but I don't feel too comfortable with the OS hacking I've seen in some threads to make the BBC client work. I am almost sure I'd brick my device.
If anyone could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful. Thanks for your time. - EH
BB Connect works fines for me.
First post, but have been reading the boards and enjoying the benefits for months.
I'm using the radio that was released with the Cingular 2.06 ROM, but it might work with others. I didn't have to do any OS tweaking. I just installed the Desktop Activesync program and the BB Connect for WM6 that came with WMXL v0.20 and everything worked. Of course, I called Cingular and had them change my data plan to the PDA Connect for BB Connect Unlimited.
So excuse my ignorance but I haven't been able to find this. You are using a radio version not included in the WMXL .20 rom? How do you keep your orignial rom? Oh, and thanks for the quick repoonse.

easy... you cook a Radio ONLY upgrade using Dutty's NBHTOOL1.0... you can find the thread by using the find function or reading the wiki...
WMXL v0.20 doesn't come with a radio upgrade. Using the Wiki, you can find the available radio upgrades, of which mine is one of them. Just flash the OS and the radio independently.

If you don't feel confortable I would say don't use any of these WM6 updates since NONE are official.
But if you want WM6.. Why not use WM XDA Live .20.
It's got the OS # changle already done to allow BBC..
(At least as far as I know.. I don't use it...)

So let me see if I have have this correctly. I if I use the WMXL .20 rom, it will not change the radios? I will have the same radio verison after the upgrade or will need in reinstall the radios as well? Forgive my ignorace. I just want to make sure I have the right Cingular radio version to keep the Blackberry Connect going.

only the OS will be changed. the rest u leave alone and will remain as was before an OS upgrade.
Depending on what you have now you probably want to upgrade the radio.
Not only will get better data connections as well as less problems.
But some WM6 things like the connection Icons require radio 1.27 or higher to work properly.
Ok. Thanks guys. I'll give that a go. The only concern I had was using a radio or OS version that locked out BBC. I have read the other users lost BBC connectivity after upgrading their OS to WM6. I would like to use the lastest radio versions for the improvment as long as they don't kill my BBC.
Thanks again for all of your responses.
BBC
try this maybe working for you
@EH
I am running WM6 v.21 and my radio, etc. is as in my sig. BBConnect was (briefly) an issue with WM6 on v.1, but since the update to .21 and the hacked BBConnect (also listed on the initial post) it works a treat.
Hope this helps - feel free to PM if you have any questions

Thanks! Can you tell me what you mean by the "hacked BBConnect"?
@EH - sorry, I mean v.21 is hacked for BBConnect.
I run BBConnect client 2.1.2.31, but I also believe you can run .52 (someone correct me?). I had to dig around for .31 (.exe file, got it on local PC, so could email) but you can get .52 from the FTP on here.
Here's a link to a BBConnect thread that may help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294218
Ok. Cool. Could you email that to me? I am running .52 but it won't start. Also, I assume by v.21 you are using the WMXL v.21 or am I off on that? My email is [email protected]. Thanks again for your help.
I am also using BBConnect client v 2.1.2.31, works like a charm.
Well, I guess I'm beat. I have installed:
WXML v.20
Radio: 1.33.31.00
Rom Version: 3.22.110.1
Can't get it to work. :-(
Jakirkla: What version of BBConnect are you using?
Ok. I'm just freaking excited now! I did this reg edit that I found posted in another thread. It was in the LSVW build but I used it on the WMXL build and it worked. Not only that, but previously, my BBC would disconnect while I used the web, messaging, etc. And I had to wait awhile for the BBC to reconnect after the browsing was done. NOW, however, they are running simulatinously over the 3G network. The BBC icon stay completed connected and I receive mail WHILE web surfing. This was what I did.
Changed HKLM\System\Versions and edit the Aku string from .0.0.0 to .2.3.0
Restarted Hermes (holding power button)
Installed BBC 2.1.2.54
Install Blackberry Desktop 2.1.1.21 (for BES users)
Forgive me if this is old news but I haven't seen or heard of this working before. I'm so excited that I can seem to have BOTH services running now and on WM6. I'd like to thank everyone again for their reponses.
Hermes exclusive???
Hi man,
The ability to use both BB service and browse the internet is exclusive on the Hermes (because of HW capabilities) or can it be done in other PPCs?
I had never heard of such a thing until now!!! I am impressed...

HAve you looked in the extras section for WMXL?? There is a version of BBC in there, I dont use it so im not sure if it will work but that is the one most people are using in WMXL, as said before the CE build version in WMXL v0.2.x was modded to allow for BBC to work?!
I'm looking for a good WM5 aku 3.5 (Helmi would be nice) without old WLM beta!
I pray you: i need it 'cos i want to use the new messanger and i don't want that USELESS WM6 beta rom!!!
Do you really want to use an Universal WITHOUT videocall?? Why did you buy a device that make videocalls??? I really can't understand!
Believe it or not, videocall is not the be all and end all of owning a device like the universal - for example, I love my universal, but have never used, and am never likely to use, videocall.

I would agree with you.. But when you buy a Jasjar you pay EVEN videocall circuit..
Anyway: Any AKU 3.5?
I don't believe Helmi created a 3.5 version without WLM. You can try Ivan's 3.5, I don't remember if it has WLM.

I think it's strange, isn't it? Well, i use an Italian rom based on Helmi... But i would use a WWE version.. 'cos it's too important for me MSN!
I hope Mr. Helmi will see this post... 'cos i think his rom it's the best.
I hope that one day there will be much more attention to old (!??) WM5.. I think i'm not the only one who cares about stability and videocall!
Ok.. It seems nobody cares about a fresh new AKU3.5...
Thank you all.
I hope those damn WM6 _BETA_ will be, ONE DAY, as usefull as AKU 3.5..
Will be from china? Vietnam? Maybe Borat will share with us his rom made in Kazakhstan...........
DJ Palmis
Use mamaich tools and remove WLM from Helmi's WM5.. That's easy.
Noone cares about WM5 because WM6 (even Beta) is better than WM5. Videocall is just a temporary problem, and in all other sides WM6 is much better than WM5. Try latest darkforce's ROM, and you'll see what I'm talking about

We need driver, am i wrong?
To write those dlls we have to know very deeply Windows Mobile... AND DATA SHEET..
HTC ONLY own data sheets of our Universal...
So, sorry for my impertinent question: DO YOU REALLY think that is possible to make new driver WM6 compatible using reverse eng on old dll??
I am a realistic man, i respect your work.. but we need a MIRACLE...
In MY OPINION it would be better to work on our old WM5...
That's my two cents!
Currently I dont hv time to play around with WM5 or WM6, hopes someday I'll manage time...

I believe I've fix Crash on SR on v.1.1 midget? Jwrightmcps use my 1.1 as a base rom and delete some file, VGAMode, Intelipad, Ringtone, broadcomm files , added some file, modify it registry... but some file, my broadcomm file are still there for some reason... the funny thing that he never mention My name, even after I talk to him...

i thought his was based on the DarkForce rom, but i never looked into it that much. The crash on softreset is fixed by changing the blocksize for sd/mmc cards to 256, i assumed it was jwrightmcps that came up with it as he posted it but maybe not
Hi all
I would like to known the more simple and shure way to make BBconnect 4 up and running with WM6.
My TYTN running actualy the Schap's ROM version 3.57a.
please HELP ME.
HTC TYTN
ROM Schap's 3.57a
radio 1.48.00.00
Protocol 32.81.70.20.20W
CE OS 5.2.1437 (Build 17944.0.3.1)
Ask Schap nicely to hex edit his Rom so it works with BB Connect.......otherwise use Slueth's Rom which already works with BB Connect.
I've been quite happy using Slueth's Rom and have no complaints!

vp3G and Sleuth both have BBC version. I can post links for Schap and Black Satin tonight. But if you are comfortable with entry level hacking - it is a trivial job to make any ROM based on latest official ATT or Dopod releases to be compatible with BBC on Hermes. There was a lot of discussions and questions answered here on this subject last few days if you'll desire to know more and "Howto". Regards

Hi Khristopher
I too am trying to get Blackberry working reliably on my xda Trion. I'm running Custels WM6 2.5 ROM thats blackberry enabled, along with 2.x.x.54 blackberry client for the Trion and the 1.41 radio
Problem I have is that when I invoke flight mode and then switch radio back on, my blackberry app is off line and I cannot get it to reconnect without first disablling it, then doing a soft reset, then relaunching blackberry. It then repairs the settings and goes on to connect and its back up and running All a bit of a pain! I tried the 4.x.x. client, but it has the security feature set on the server such that after 10 mins inactive, it locks the screen and needs a password to unlock the device.
Are you having similar problems with the sleth ROM? If not, could you post the rest of your ROM/RADIO/BB Client config? If you are using the 4.x.x BB client, have you found a way of disabling the device lock?
Many thanks
Chris

Custel ... that's I'd say 2-3 major updates step back. I haven't tested Custel's ROMs, but correct me if I'm wrong it is a LVSW or Black 3.01 derivative. Neither one had any issues with BBC re-connecting. As a matter of fact, from my personal experience, BBC will make *any* connection drop in a blink of an eye and will happily monopolize your data connection, making it almost impossible to have automated POP, RSS or Podcasts collections. I'd say your first step should be backup, hard reset and restore if you are keen to the existing ROM. Then I'd say you want to update to the latest distro and radio. Hope this helps.

Hi Moisha
Many thanks for this, very helpful. I'm not wedded to the ROM by any means, so would happily change to a combo that kept a reliable connection. By 'the latest distro', do you mean one of the WM6 ROMs or release of the BB client? I see you are using the 1.48 radio.. What would be your recco for a BB compatible ROM and radio. Not sure I want to get into hex editing at the moment, so would like to use one one the 'off the (xdadevelopers) shelf' ROMs if poss...?
Thanks much in advance

Have just updated to the O2 WM6 ROM.
Installed the SPB GPRSMonitor which came with the Orbit and worked fine under WM5, but it will not monitor or control the GPRS under WM6
Anyone else noticed this and/or found a workaround?
I have 10Mb data with my tariff, but am mindful at £3 per meg after that, I really do use SPB to ensure I don't stray over my inclusive.
Spooky , Efficasoft worked on WM5 but doesn't seem to monitor under WM6 properly as well.
I've just put on the Efficasoft GPRS Monitor (V1.2) and that didn't work. So, as suggested on their site, I put on V1.11w which works OK and actually I think I prefer to SPB (though you cannot get the day-by-day charts for useage).
Looking at the SPB site, it doesn't show as compatible with WM6. Hope they bring out a patch soon....
The version of GPRS Monitor that shipped with the original Orbit ROM will not work with WM6. There is an updated version which should be on the O2 web site soon. I will post a copy to Rapidshare when i get home tonight.
Cheers
LB
Thanks for the heads up everyone.
The community strikes again.
There is a beta of the SPB GPRS Monitor from the SPB Club forums which I installed and it broke my WiFi. DO NOT INSTALL!!!!!
Just installed v1.11w and it's doing exactly what it says on the tin.
Thanks for that

Hi all, just thought I would put an update out on this.
I have just received an email back from o2 data support. They have just sent me a new version of the GPRS monitor application that should work with WM6. They tell me they will in time be releasing this as part of the XDA microsite. If you email them ([email protected]) though I am sure they will forward a copy of the application onto you too.
Hope this helps
