Hi guys, last couple of days I encounter the following problems:
1. P3300 goes to stand-by during the night time and does not wake -up by incoming calls or incoming sms on the morning. Sometimes it also happens if the phone stays untouchable during few hours on a day time. The people on another side who are trying to call or sms me get the reply that I'm not reachable. Just switching on the black light does not help even so that the network coverage indicated as 100%. Only when I start to call someone or try to send sms, the storm of the delayed SMSes suddenly comes to my screen and then the people can reach me back by phone.
2. The pop-up message comes to the screen few times per day:
"Pocket PC networking: Unable to obtain a server-assigned IP address. Try again later or enter an IP address in Network settings."
Well this message starts to come very recently and I did not change any network settings before.
I do not know if these two problems comes together, but they are start to rear the heads more or less at the same time.
From the long-time installed programs I have :
TomTom
Fizz Traveller
Resco Keyboard PRO
Opera
Skype
CorePlayer
Vimio LiveTV
The recently installed programs (let's say last two weeks time frame):
Softick Card Export II
BatteryStatus (overclocked with CPU Scaler : min 143- max 260 boost)
So, guys, your suggestions what it could be are very appreciated.
If interested I have Test WWE HTC ROM 1.12.405.1_026790
During an Activesync connection in which I was transferring some files from the PC to the P3300, the power suddenly went down.
I don't know if this had anything to do with it, but after that I started to get that same message you refer to in problem 2 and I was unable to access the internet while connected via USB to the PC.
Anyway, I googled around and found this:
(http://blog.offbeatmammal.com/blogs...-an-IP-address-in-Network-settings_2E00_.aspx)
Solution #1 - via the GUI
In Settings | Connections go to Configure Network adapters.
Set the 'Remote-NDIS Host' settings to use a specific IP address of 169.254.2.1, subnet 255.255.0.0, and a default gateway of 169.254.2.2
Solution #2 - via Editing the Registry
Fire up your registry editor then head to:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\RNDISFN1\Parms\TcpIp]
Set AutoCfg to 1
Set EnableDHCP to 0
Soft reset the device to activate the change
I've tried solution 1 and it works (so far, at least).
Regards,
cfvilela,
I appreciate very much that you redirected me to that blog.
Fixed the issue with Network message with the help of option 2.
Well, we will see where it leads me.
Anyone has the idea about my first issue?
Last evening I changed the reg values as described in order to eliminate this annoying message.
Well, this morning the Network message was popping-up again.
So , the solution number 2 does not work for me.
cfvilela,
to use the solution number 1, where did you find "Configure Network adapters" in Settings/Connections menu ?
Actually it was the reason why I choosed yesterday the second way, could you advice?
- Click the 'Start' icon on the today screen top bar, then select 'Settings' and inside it, choose the 'Connections' tab.
- Then, choose the 'Wi-Fi' icon and inside it, the 'Network Adapters' tab.
- Once there, choose the 'Remote-NDIS Host' and it will open another window.
- On that new window choose 'Use specific IP adress' and use the following settings:
*IP Adress: 169.254.2.1
*Subnet mask:255.255.0.0
*Default gateway: 169.254.2.2
*Don't change anything in the 'Name Servers' tab.
-Click OK and hopefully it should work.
Good luck.
It still works on my P3300. I use two different PCs, one at home and another at my working place to synchonize and it works with both of them.
regards,
cfvilela,
obrigado
I discovered Networks adapters in Wi-Fi, but since it was not mentioned in original blog, I was thinking that I overlooked something.
Great. Thanks again.
Same here
I have the same problems here.
The network error doesnot bother me much but not receiving calls is anoying.
After all, it is one of its main functions!
I tried the following with No succes:
1. T-mobile gave me a new sim-card. didn´t help.
2. Technical service of T-mobile did some kind of network reset thing. (He didnot want to explain any further.... I suspect he just rebooted something and hoped it would help) Didnot work.
3. Hard reset of device Didn´t work.
So, If anyone has a solution, you´ll help at least two people!
(are there more with the same problem?)
greetz,
Pfeffa-rah
Still NoGo
I still have no solution.
Anyone else have the same problem? or is it just the two of us?
T-Mobile is verry unhelpfull. They prommise to return my calls but then only send an sms that I should call back, or that they are workin on it or that they couldn´t reach me (duh)....
They want me to turn in the device but I don´t want to miss it for the two weeks it will take them and only get it back with the memo "works fine". So I realy want to speak to a technician so I can explain him what the problem is.
The customer services ladys are verry polite and nice, but they really don´t know anything about technical issues.
So I am still stuck here.
greetz,
Pfeffa-rah
I have been thinking about this for a while so I will go ahead and get it started. We all know that Tom_Codon is currently working on V 4.0, and as always he will thoroughly test it before release. I thought maybe we could, as a community, come to a conclusion on the fixes for the upcoming rom.
We all know the problems such as
1. Dialerpad not working for redial( green button) different dialerpad fixed
2. Flashing issue that was resolved.
3 HTC plugin going to vibrate during appointments- not a rom problem but an issue
4. Weather for "your town"- not a rom problem but an htc server issue.
We need to get together a complete set list,if you will, of known issues so that these bugs can be worked out before the Rom hits "production".
PLEASE, dont turn this into a request thread. Lets make an effort as a community to help Tom, put out the best Rom of his ability.
I have talked with him recently and he feels that the Touchflo is working flawlessly, but this is going to be a completely new build, from a new version of windows 6. So there MUST be some test time
I think as a group we can pitch in and give some targets to look at, via our experiences with 3.7
On another note, many people have donated to Tom, but the truth of the matter is more have not. I understand that times are hard, for some, harder for others, but we should look at it like this, If Tom wasnt doing what he was doing, along with others like him(none have released anything as complex and mature as Toms) werent doing what they are doing, you would already be in the market for another ppc, some, like here in America, having to pay upwards of $550.00 like myself.
Some of us appreciate the hard work of others and are willing to cough up $ without much proding, while others just download and go. I myself am guilty of such actions, I mean I do have and have had a usenet account for about 3 years, and have used bit torrent since it was in command prompt days(bit commet anyone) but I do recognize hard work and a love for what one is doing, so please make Tom feel your appreciation, this guy is having to go way out of his way to do research for us, due to internet issues, so please donate to Tom's work. Drink one less caramel mociado,beer or coke for that matter and send some $.
Back on topic.
Please help by posting any known issues with 3.7 so 4.0 can be tested properly, Thanks.
I agree with 1 to 4 in the previous post, also, the dialer writes text in green, this is very hard to see and suggest changing to white text.
5. Dialer text changed to WHITE for easier reading
Another Issue
First of all Congrats to Tom for making the bes PPC a million times better.
I had some issues, besides the redial button some programs crash my machine, for example yahoo go 2 and others.
Also the machine sometimes restarts itself with programs like tomtom and google.
Thanks for all your hard work!!!!!
5 good point, I am sure that will or has been changed already
yahoo go... what others, lets try to make a thorough list
6. Inclusion of TouchFlo cab
(The dialpad was really a big issue in my friend's phone i upgraded, so had to go back to B&B 3.0)
Thanks for all ur great efforts Tom!
I fully agree with post 1.
The only thing that is not working for me is the camera.
Gpsphoto is not working for me. Gps is not turning on.
And the colors of dailpad. They are now green but difficult to read.
White is much better.
For the rest it runs perfect.
But please Tom take your time.
And guys the rom is for free so donate to Tom. Mobile Telco's have to pay Microsoft for this update. And we get this for free.
I haven't donated as well but i will this week.
There is a workaround for GPS Photo. Just change to main memory as storage. Then restart the camera and off you go Nasty thing is that you have to do this every time you want GPS photo. It's a ROM issue and has nothing to do with Tom

Hi all,
my only (not so big) problem in B&B 3.7 that I wonder to be solved in the new version is the camera delay problem, when I push the button it takes about 3-4s for the camera to take te photo.
The other issue is pics destination folder. My old ROM saves the photos to \storage card\my docs\my picture, that was very nice, this new camera saves the photos to a specific folder, it's not a big problem, just annoying...
By the way the B&B 3.7 is the best rom what I've ever tried, so Tom, appreciate your work...
Hi!
I don't know if I'm the only one, but when I desactivate the WM5storage apps by clicking on "desactivate", it runs TOMTOM automaticaly!
It can be a bug...
@++
TraXer.
Taking a picture in 3.7 takes about 3 seconds.. Still can't fix that..
Wi-Fi issue
Hi @all,
the B&B 3.7 is the best ROM i ever had. Thanks to Tom.
I've an issue with the Wi-Fi start/stop.
I can start and stop Wi-Fi with the comm Manager but if I start Wi-Fi I could not stop Wi-Fi over the Wi-Fi icon on the Headerbar.
Normaly there is a link if you click on the icon [Turn on Wi-Fi] if its off and [Turn off Wi-Fi] if its on.
I have always [Turn on Wi-Fi]... also if its on and if i click, nothing effects.
I don't know if someone else solve this problem and if its a bug.
Cheers
[email protected],
First of all, i would like to express my eternal gratitude for tom who is doing a great work. People like you makes the community better and better.
I have another issue:
when using de X-Button, the rest of icons of the heather bar doesn't show properly. The signal power of the operator displays only left half and he volume icon doesn't show.
make a contact picture also does not work: not file is saved after shotting
Agree
I agree with you and i would like to donate to tom. But i need account information, i don´t use paypal.
However i have not been abel to use Tom´s 3.7 ROM at all. No problem flashing it but my sound on bouth, my HTC P3300 goes balistic (like if my botton was stock)..
This has happend everytime i tryid this ROM and i tryid it on my too. P3300 and my body´s too..
So i haven´t realy enjoyed the ROM at all.. just tryid it and shiftet to the new WW3.7 Original (which works flawless on my phones)
.... but still i would like to support the great work and research Tom is doing.. Please make it possible by posting som account information so i can transfer a donation to you Tom
i only tried 3.7 for a short time because i had the battery drain problem, and the redialing problem was getting on my nerves.
however, there were 2 problems (or 2 times the same) that i also have in v3.0 (german version):
wlan and gps connections cant be deactivated using the taskbar icon. the "bubble" always says "no connection".
for wlan, i use connection manager to disconnect. that works perfectly. to stop a gprs connection however, i have to switch to flight mode and back...so:
7. (or whatever) would be nice to have a more confortable way of disconnecting gprs than using flight mode...
to stop a gprs connection however, i have to switch to flight mode and back...so:

I haved the same problem but after looking close all the app (like msn messenger) who use Gprs Data and with com manager you can stop it ^^
More problems, possibly unreported?
I have a couple of issues with 3.7, and I don't think I have read about them anywhere else.
Firstly, this may be a problem with the Comm manager. Sometimes I turn the phone to "off" in Comm. Manager, and then when I click again to turn it "On", nothing happens - the code lock keypad is supposed to show but nothing happens at all and I have to soft reset.
Secondly, after a soft reset, MSN contacts do not appear in the list when you login, and you must chage accounts to see them again
I also had the more common problems with green button and HTC home screen vibrate mode.
Also would it be possible for us to have Windows Update inlcuded in the ROM?
Excellent ROM though by the way! Will be donating very soon!!!

yeah, you are right. i just tested what you said, and indeed: the "Datenverbindung" button in comm manager (i got german version) will eventually light up when i switch to conn manager and a gprs connection is active. but it takes something between 3 and 10 seconds for that button to light up. that's why i never saw it.
but waiting for the button to light up then clicking it will indeed cancel the gprs connection. i am cool with that. thx for the hint.
Actually this started as a B&B 4.0 issues thread...
but i really would like to thank the person who open it because i had the opportunity to see all the bugs of previous versions in one place....
Thanks again...
Many thanks to Tom as well for his effort..
Looking forward for v 4.0
I believe we are on the right track, but I feel some of theres issues are problems do to the base OS..I will later update my most and include a pool to see where we stand as far as how may people are experiening these situation.
Hi Folks
My Hermes/Tytn is an Orange M3100. Recently it has begun dropping calls, or rather, ignoring them. The caller could hear a ringing tone but the phone wouldn't switch on, show me an incomming call or anything. A short while later, usually after I'd switched it on (I mean, the screen, "off" is that it's on standby) I'd get the notification of a missed call. More often than not it would come through after I had made a call.
This reached a "point" on the weekend where I missed about 17 calls from the Agency to get work for me as I was the only one available
So. I upgraded as reccomended on here. Up to HardSPL 2.10, Radio version 1.41 and then upgraded to Schaps 4.22 WM6 Rom.
Now, I made sure that ActiveSync has connected and synchronised, and all my contacts and PIM info is in Outlook. However, A/S won't transmit the information to the PDA, even though it tells me it's synchronising.
The only way I have managed to get my PIM data/address book back onto the PDA was by running a custom SPB backup file to restore the calender, sms and phonebook.
This is where the fun starts. My PIM and Tasks then go "read only" merely by having a warning telling me I have no memory and to go and close other programs down. But there isn't anything else running!
Fine. Right. Ok. Obviously I've done something wrong. I did a hard reset this evening. It wiped all the data internally and reset it. I changed the details to match the username that was already stored in A/S and plugged it in.
It tells me "Connecting" and the green thing swirls around but doesn't actually do anything.
I have heard mention of the MTTY software, so I've got that here. But it won't allow me to connect on USB, only Com1, 2 or 3.
So I've a pretty useless phone at the moment. It's got none of my files on there, the satnav is rendered useless merely because I can't install the sod and all the other problems to go with it.
Short of screaming abuse at it and throwing it across the room I'm a bit stuffed. And I can't spend anymore time on it as I've got to be getting up for work at 4am (only finished tonight at 8pm ) for another full day
I've read the wiki, I've gone through the pages and pages and, er, pages of posts but I'm hitting a brick wall somewhere. I'm not as bright as you guys, but I get by.
TIA. Elwyn

Try disabling the enhanced feature in your usb to pc settings on the device. Also try removing and reinstalling activesync, I have to do mine roughly once every fortnight or so and I'm on the latest build of AS4.5

This has now improved, with most calls going through. Possibly only the Radio upgrade was necessary, but, hey, I've done it now

The drawback I had was A/S wasn't telling me it was done, or that it was doing anything. I still don't know how to fix that if it happens again

Ok, as the first reply said, YES. The USB advanced thingy was checked. Once that was sorted then it sync'd. I still couldn't write to the PIM/Messaging/Phonebook but I could get it backed up. Once that was done I did a hard reset, then before I plugged the "fresh" install into the computer I set up the variety of settings (machine name, usb advanced, name etc) THEN plugged it in. System recognised it, and then proceeeded to "restore" the relevant details of my PIM/Addressbook/Messages.
I think the restore from SPB was being written to a part of the memory that it wasn't supposed to. Either way, I've stopped using SPB Backup now.
The phone works well. I've even got all the SatNav software installed and working on it. The installation from the memory card didn't take that long, once it was working propperly. Which was good as I did all of that "out on the road" away from the computer (I was in the passsenger seat then).
The only issue I have noticed now is that the battery seems to go quick...
Anyway, thank you for your help. I can now go and have some xmas shopping to relax with....

Glad to hear you got it working, for backing up your contacts, messages etc I'd recommend PPCPimBackup, if you do a google you should be able to find it easy enough.
Have a good Christmas.
After installing Hard SPL 2.0, ATT radio 1.5.4, and Pays 6.1 i have the following problems, have searched for a few days now and still havent found anything.
I installed a CAB to set up my phone for ATT service, now i can recieve email, get online and Download MMS. SMS is fine. I can even use internet sharing perfectly. (although OUTGOING email also doesnt work when teathered.) Everything else is good besides:
No Camera, No Flashlight, No Superbright. Cannot SEND email via smtp with auth. Tested the smtp from my pc (not teathered) and it works fine.
If anyone even has this problem, make me feel better that im not the only one. I have tried flashing to different ROMs and camera has never worked since 6.1 flash. I also installed radio version 1.4.8 and still coulnt send email. - could this be my internet settings?
Thanks to all who can help!

Did you flash to a stable ROM (eg original WM 6 ROM) before fashing Pay's ROM? My two cents; try flashing your phone again, this time flash to an original wm6 ROM like a AT&T ROM, soft-reset before customizations start, then flash Pay's ROM. Hope this helps.
Soft reset before customizations start?
When the phone turns on for the first time after flash - before the customization screen? Is that what is meant by that?
I would definatly flash to an offical AT&T ROM and then see what happens..
I had installed the official WM6 rom - camera did not work. Did not set up email so i dont know if that worked. I also installed a custom ATT specific rom which camera did not work.
Why would i have all other types of internet access except outgoing email?
Camera problem
I get that from time to time on my 8525 (Hermes). The fix is simple, unplug the phone from any power source, pop out the battery, wait about 20-30 seconds and place the battery back in.
In the old "PDA only" world, this is what we'd call a Battery Reset. More effective than a Soft Reset and not as drastic as a Hard Reset.
When my 8525 (Hermes) Camera stops working, as well as the flashlight and all, I do this little trick and it fixes it every time.
I hope this fixes things for you!
I am having the same problem with my 8525 running pays rom tried everything still can't send email. tried flashing to an official att rom same problem problem started only after i flashed to pays rom....help.
Camera problem
I Flashed my XDA Stellar with supposedly the official wm6.1 rom. Now my TOM TOM takes forever to get a fix and although my camera still takes pictures, there is no view finder image to show me what im looking at. Dissapointing.

I've downloaded and installed the trial for wmIRC and it's working fine over WIFI on my HTC S621, but I can't get it to work over GPRS\EDGE ? I can use IE and Opera Mini without the WIFI.
Any ideas of what I can try, or are there other Windows Mobile Smartphone Standard IRC clients I could try?
Thank you,

make sure you start an edge connection before trying to log onto irc. i use wmirc daily and works through either connection. just open a browser and go to a website to initiate the data connection (for some reason wmirc will initiate *sometimes* and not others) then open irc and just hit connect. may take a sec to go through the ident and ****...but it gets there...

I've tried that, no luck. I don't have the ident option checked, but I never need it for WIFI. I'm just wondering if it's my carrier, Suncom blocking it. It's just strange to me that my email, IE, mini-opera, etc. works. But not this.
I'm looking now to see if I can find a way to link (or echo) messages over to an instant messenger ID. Because I know that I can get Palringo or some other IM client to work.

I wasnt so much talking about enabling indent..i was just talking about when you connect to the server and i queries the client..
what version of wmirc is it?
This probably doesn't help much but I have it working fine on another device over CDMA.
Honestly, prepare to be disappointed though. Its a very buggy program. The user lists tend to disappear, sometimes a new pm opens and switching from one to the next shows the same messages, and it randomly completely crashes.
There's also zsIRC at zsirc.com. However, this is many written for WM Pro, so there's a lot of things that you can't do if you don't have a touchscreen (also, you can't install the .cab on WM Standard and need to use the .exe installer.)
i agree. but for smartphone its really the only one that works. ive tried 3. wmirc, jirc and some other one that i cant remember.
as far as just chattin in a channel, its fine. ive had it up with no disconnects on the edge network for 8 hours. with wifi i have left on for days and it never crashed or disconnected. yea the user list is a little retarded, but thats a non issue for me. you can still use basic commands like /whois . i dont think its ever going to get better than this though. as far as i know, no one else is developing a new client.
so i guess just pick the lesser poison..if you want to run it through java (which i couldnt stand) try out jirc.
shoot me a pm and let me know what version you have. i will probably just give you a link to my site and you can try the one i have because i know it works. im running 6.1 rickys v. 24
I'm just using the standard 2.2 from the wmirc.com site.
