WM6 seems like it runs allot better but I do have some small issues with the way the phone works now:
1. When I dial out anywhere and it says "dialing..." if I hit end before it starts dialing (ie: i dialed the wrong number by accident) it ends the call but then looses network service and says "searching..." and regains signal after 10-15 seconds - kind of annoying.
2.When I dial straight from the home screen and start typing a name it uses letters for the numbers now as if it were a T9 phone (ie: if I hit 4 for "S" it will also search G,H,I - with my WM5 it didn't do this) - hope that makes sense to you guys out there?
Everything else seems ok about it. I can't remember if there are any other issues that I don't like.
Symbols disappeared... I mean the key below the camera icon, if I press it I have è or à, I have a WWE Rom....

Hello guys, I would like to hear from You if you have similar problems in 1.13 version as I have in 1.11 test rom, any answer will help me with the upgrade decision:
- “contact” soft key is on the RIGHT when desktop is visible, on the LEFT in phone application and in the MIDDLE button during the phone call. JUST Imagine somebody in the car who wants to make a phone call….. especially with MISSING REAL HARDWARE BUTTONS to assign the contacts to…
- In the phone application – last unanswered phone call is not displayed on the phone screen – you have to click HISTORY to see it – just the same problem in the car – somebody is calling you, you can not get out the device on time, so you press twice TINY TINY green button on the hinge, and …. You call the last number you have called before…not the last missed one
- Phone application just shuts itself of and Universal comes to the desktop screen WHY? (Imagine AGAIN in the car….)
- REALLY ugly TMobile skin, but the original blue skin has to low contrast….Again IN THE CAR…
- maybe I did not try hard enough but I can not obtain predictable results with the onscreen quickdial (not to mismatch with SPEED DIAL butto which Is OK, )– how to obtain the names starting with second or third letter from the key – I don’t know, and anyway it does not work if you have about 1500 contacts as I have
- check how SPEED DIAL it was done in the old handspring TREO phones – large buttons with the names on them in two columns rather than one list, with whole screen “pages” of 12 contacts each, for me much easier to use and navigate if you have more than one screen of numbers as in the car there is no chances for easy up and down navigation, what you have to do now with the numbered list.
- With all this missing hardware buttons what happened with the D-Pad functionality – in Blue Angel it was UP- History DOWN – speed dial … but in Universal nothing works ?????
- “during the call” screen with 6 soft buttons stays on when the phone call is already finished – again you do not find the soft buttons in the right places when you want to make next call
- When I got rid of the TM skin video call button is missing, I can not use UMTS yet as it is not available in Krakow, but it will be needed some time…
- No BT icon on the desktop – no chances for the quick verification of the proper connection between headset and the unit
- I have heard that voice dialing functionality does not work when the unit is closed (I always keep it open – screen on the top)
- There is no voice dialing available when the unit is protected by the password (but this is disputable)
Hi there
I'm pretty happy with my XDA exec installed in "corporate mode" (far more reliable/stable than the standard mode i received it in from O2) however i have a very annoying problem:
After its been switched on and in use for a few hours the "phone" feature stops giving you access to the on-screen number keypad. When you select the "phone" app from the start menu shortlist it takes you to a page with only the following 6 keys: "call History" "mute" "video" "note"
"contacts" "hold" and "end".
In order to get the number pad back (so you can call people other than those in your contacts) it offers you a "keypad" option. However when you click it this does nothing.
This is quite frustrating as it means if you wish to make a call in PDA mode (where the qwerty keyboard is hidden behind the screen) you have no number keypad with which to dial a new number.
Is there a fix for this? Perhaps there's a home screen i can set it to which always has the phone number keypad displayed.
Many thanks
Charlie
Hey everyone, I've searched the thread and hope I'm not the only one experiencing this problem with the Dopod WM6 Rom.
This happens every time I'm on a call and go to my notes to type info, the numeric keys 0-9 activate and I only get numbers when pressing them, and not the alphabetic characters, as soon as I end the call the keyboard returns back to normal.
Any suggestions?
Many people are aware of this problem and currently, there is no fix for it yet.
Some people were saying it isn't a bug, but it was intentionally made so the numbers input during a phone call when your phone is open to dial other numbers. You can always use the on-screen keyboard to type.
Thanks, guess we'll just have to wait then
A problem i'm facing at the moment on my Black satin 3100 is:
1. During a call the phone slows to beyond usable meaning that if i want to take a note or load something up the phone is so slow i have to ask them to hold on sometimes over a minuite just to load notepad bringing me on the:
2. while in a call and having successfully loaded note pad, typing on the keyboard when i select a key that also corresponds to a number i get the number instead and i can not select the letters until after the call is ended.
3. the voice mail icon is always showing regardless of there being a message or not and this has been since i installed satin and is not a recent thing.
if anyone has any thought please throw them this way

Flash a new Rom

2. Your ROM does not have the keyboard fix. vp3G's, and a few others, have it included.
3. Might try a reflash for this one. Just do a quick backup first.
2. As just said - this is a ROM thing. Find one that has it fixed. (The new Schaps do not.)
3. Call your phone. Leave a voice mail. From your phone, go to voice mail. Listen to and delete the message. Press the * key (I think) until you exit VM. Then hang up. The indicator should go away.
On my T-Mobile Touch Pro 2, if I select the phone menu it starts the list of calls but then automatically starts the dialer and quits the phone menu when what I wanted to do was see a list of phone calls, and more importantly the time for the phone call and the dailer does now show this.
Nevermind... Figured out you have to hit the view softkey instead of just clicking the Phone/Missed Calls.
Ugh... this is why I hate WM6 sometimes because it has to be skinned so much that everything just behaves erratically and changes with each version of Sense.
With all its short comings, the one thing I will like about WP7 is preditability, like WM was at first...
