Windows Mobile 6 (Black 3.1) and Orangeworld

Hi,
Just upgraded my rom, and for some reason, when i go the the orangeworld site in pie, it only displays a text version. No graphics or anything.
Any ideas?

all these fantastic genius's here, and no ideas?

I have noticed this too, and it must be something to do with what PIE reports itself as for User Agent.
The sites work fine with Opera, but cant see if that reports as Mozilla for whatever.
We need someone with WM5 to look....

I use PIE+ and tried all the user agents, but no change. Also noticed gprs/3g connection is real unstable! I'm in london, so definately a good coverage!

Erm....?
Any ideas?

What is the URL? Assume you have "show pictures" set etc ? I have black 3.1 on T mobile (well, virgin) and connection seems stable. This is on a m3100

Yeah I noticed this before too... I've only installed Black up to 3.0, so it the problem existed in at least version, maybe earlier.

http://wap.orange.co.uk for orange world. WEorks in opera fine. in PIE every other site i look at displays correctly, only orange so far is appearing as plain text.
As for the connection, i'm using the latest radio upgrade. to be honest, the connection was pants when i had the standard os installed, but then upgraded the radio, which improved it. But now i upgraded the os, the connection is worse than ever.
Also, Skype refuses to log in!
I'm pretty much ready to the sell piece of $h1t on ebay and get something else!!

So nobody able to help me?????

I don't use Orangeworld. Sorry. Have not had this issue. What apn are you using, the orangewap one or the orangeinternet one?

I dont think its down to that in any case, coz it works fine with Opera.

yeah I know, just grasping at straws. I seem to remember that some of the orange sites only worked via the orangewap apn. never use them so dunno really.

Hi, sorry am unable to help as I have same on orangeworld, but would just recommend that before you sell, you try reverting the radio version to 1.38.0.10 or .01.
Makes it a whole different phone, no dropped signals, better battery.

Yeah, no problems - orangeworld works fine in PIE for me WITH graphics (after I fixed it of course!!)
First I would recommend the latest Orange Radio ROM which is 1.38.00.01 - works best for Orange UK (this is not necessary for my fix to work though.)
See my cab file which installs the Orange UK MMS and internet settings as well as fixing the voicemail icon issue and the orangeworld graphics issue
If anyone needs it, I suppose I could create a cab file containing just the fix for orangeworld on PIE

Ok, here is the cab to just fix the Orangeworld site on Orange UK - it also fixes the voicemail icon since this is kinda essential
This should work on all WM6 ROMs on Orange UK
ps. you DO NOT need this file if you are using the cab file in the post above

Thanks alot Rabdo!!! I'll try the radio downgrade when i get home!!! Orange now works a treat!!!
Thanks!!

Just a quick question. What was the problem? It almost looked like it didn't pick up the css or something, but the strange thing was the fact every other site i looked at was fine. Would be nice to know exactly what was up with it.

rabdo! my wife can have your babies if you like!
radio fix and settings cab have sorted me right out!
keep getting the "H" symbol. did a quick test and was close to 500kbs! not sure how reliable that is, but just browsing now is a dream, and no connection dropped!
thanks a lot!

I have a similar problem on 3 UK in that none of the icons on Planet 3 show up - is this cab something generic that might fix my problem? My phone is working nice and smoothly and the moment so don't want to install it just in case.....

No phone service and Radio Roms

hi all I've just updated my O2 xda exec using the WWE MW6.1 19174 build DarkForce rom release: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365335
Intially the update didn't take, so i had to use the mtty utility to enable me to re do the update, I attempted it again and this time it worked fine.
The problem I now face is that I can connect via wireless, bluetooth etc and it is very quick, but I can't seem to get any service signal! on the screen it comes up with 3G and then it looks for O2 service but it can't find it. I've set everything to UK and set the time and date correctly, phone service wise everything is on auto, although I have tried it manually.
I have the 1.15.00 radio rom and wondered if this may be the problem; to be honest I'm not really sure what the radio rom does. Would this have any effect on my phone service signal and would updating to a more recent version help, if so where can they be downloaded?
I also have a Nokia N73 and the O2 sim works fine in that, so I know the sim is ok.
regards Lee

Same here... any sugestions?

Hi I contacted O2 yesterday afternoon and asked if my xda exec had been blocked? apparently O2 had blocked the imei number, and was supposed to have unblocked it!
I think i need to explain why...
Once upon a time... I went shopping to asda and stupidly left my xda at the checkout, the next person along had their shopping packed because they were on crutches, the packer assumed the xda was hers so they also packed my xda in with the girls shopping. 3 minutes later I came in feeling sick because i'd lost my xda, only to be told no-one had seen it. I cursed the thief and I resigned myself to having lost it. I thought quickly and realised I was near enough to have an upgrade so i contacted O2 and got an N73, phew! that was close. Approx 2 days later I received a phone call on my home phone; the lady who had my phone packed in her shopping had found it after unpacking but had to wait to unpack the shopping as she was having a kitchen fitted - I could have kissed her, it restored my faith in people. In between all that I told O2 to block the phone because as far as I was concerned some git had stolen it. After getting it back I asked them to unblock it which they said they had done. but again in the meantime i had gotten used to the N73 and the xda had just been put to one side.
After the N73 novelty had worn off I went to my xda and upgraded it and put my sim in and that's where the story begins...

change radio rom.
I have a jasjar 1.13 radio with working all wm5 but not working with all wm6. I can no find 1.15 in ftp, wiki or smw else. 1.18 radio working with wm6.
Try and find a working radio rom.

blackberry connect on htc hd

hi guys, does anybody knows if bbconnect works on hd

Tried version .103 last night - not yet working (i.e. no PIN) will investigate further with other versions when I have a little more time and report back - anyone else working on this with any success please share?
Thanks

Any luck making the HTC Touch HD work with BBC-Blackberry Connect (BES)? I am still stuck in "PIN pending" on my side whatever I do... Thanks for letting me know.
Otherwise, the HTC Touch HD is definitely the best HTC device I have used since converting from Blackberry; I would hate to have to go back to BB devices, even though the Storm seems to be a giant step up (but no Sling player, no Kinoma Player, etc.).
28Wagram (A Frenchman lost in the US for the last 10 years...)

obviously i am having the same result as you guys trying to use version .100 This version worked on my touch pro. going to try a few version and see what i can get accomplished here
Versions Confirmed NOT working:
.103
.100
.92
.91
.90
.84
.67
These are the only versions I can find so I can say its a no go for now.

Did you try changing registry setting (HKLM\System\Versions Aku set to for example .0.4.2?

no
I took your advice, changed it and soft reset. I then installed version .103 and PIN still reads pending. What version would you recommend for this setting? I dont want to go through them all again haha. I also tried th eone that worked on my touch pro (.100) and still no PIN.

I would not know what to recommend. My previous suggestion came from my experience with the TyTn II but I suppose the value to use is device dependant. Maybe another user can help us on this
I hope that you succeed because my decsion to the Touch HD depends on whether one can install Blackberry Connect.
Please let us know if you manage to make it run.

I have a corporate Vodafone BES blackberry account - have bbconnect .103 install - had NO PIN for days but .... my PIN has finally arrived - seems Vodafone have added the HD to the supported devices list!!!!!!
.

BB Connect
version .103 was stopped after 5 minutes. I had PIN and everything, now I have nothing , no connection no PIN

Same here in the US, on AT&T/Cingular, with BBC .103. Five minutes of heaven, PIN out, connection, and then... nothing - No connection any longer. Keeping my fingers crossed...

Guys , any news on this topic? It would be nice to share your success with us! Thanks, Thorsten

i still havent had any luck. i am monitoring his thread which seems to have good info but they are still stuck as well

Pulled this from Sems website -
Hi
Just to confirm
BB Connect Version .103 is working on my HTC Touch HD !!!!
This is cool
Posted by Piotr on 11/15/2008 @ 7:38 AM
version .103 on Touch HD is no longer working . I had PIN was in a middle of synchronization and connection was stopped , i don't know why

Seems like were all in the same boat - I'm checking daily for updates - I think we'll have to wait for RIM to issue a new version of bbconnect (maybe a .105 version) as they did with the Pro before we see this working properly.
If anyone else has any updates or thoughts then let us know!
.

Status
So I've got Touch HD on Vodafone UK and installed Blackberry Connect v 4.0.0.103.
Seems to have registered with the network as I have a pin code but struggling to get services activated with company BES.
Try to connect to Desktop Software (v4.0.0.22) but get a cannot connect to device error code.
Saw someone posted success with a Vodafone UK SIM - could you post the specific versions of desktop software et al and whether you were connecting to a company BES?
Feel like I'm a step or 2 away from a perfect phone
Thanks,
John.

but for the specification they mentioned about they don't have Blackberry support, right?

I'm also following this thread HERE apparently theres a version 1.0.0.104 about but I'm sceptical - lets see?
If anyone else comes accross the .104 version on their travels (searches) then please share!

Keep trying guys.....

need help with my htc s621

hi;
need help with my htc s621, was using it in Vancouver/ Canada;
couple of mounts ago used a service here to unlock it and was able to use it in Iran while I am staying;but with some problem;
on regional/Locale there is no Iran in the country list, there is problem that I think it is related to it;
when I make a call using the keypad, the call will be ended so it won't make a call, but if i save the number into the phone book and call the number from there; then it works, to mention that I changed the locale to Sweden, because this way at least i can make a call from phone book, and when I get a call can not return the all using the number, because it will add the country code to the number, so I have to enter into phone book and remove the country code then be able to use it.
anyway I can make this work?
some kind of ROM update ?
I have searched many local shops here, but there are other models of htc around but not excalibur to get some help;
appreciate any help;

Welcome to forums
have a deep read here:

Reflashing to a newer ROM could help your problem (which I don´t understand quite well)
Good luck,

Hi,
I am also in Vancouver although my phone is a T-Mobile Dash that I got on eBay. You really have a different problem here. I assume that you are using an Iranian SIM card when in Iran and not your Rogers/Fido SIM.
Another guy I work with has a Rogers s621 and even though I unlocked and flashed his ROM for him (originally to the Kavanna 6.1 and now to the EVO 6.5 ROM) he had trouble on trips to China with his China Mobile SIM which itself needed to be unlocked to use it. He ended up buying a phone over there instead.
I assume you are still using the Rogers 6.0 ROM, which is better than the T-Mobile but far behind either of the two I listed above. I would flash to Ookba's 3VO ROM, it is really great and runs beautifully. But follow the direction to the letter, don't skip any steps. I have no idea if it will solve your particular problem, but even if it won't you'll be a lot happier with the phone using it here in BC.
Here is the link to the ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523718

Thanks for the replies guys;
I will do some reading and will upgrade to see if it will become better or not;
yes I still have the Rogers 6.0 ROM; and use an Iranian SIM card;
I wonder if I upgrade and then some problem occurs is it possible to downgrade to what I have, perhaps a way to backup the ROM I have.
Thanks

As long as you follow the instructions on my previous post al should be ok, but in case it fails you can always go back and install another ROM, but believe me if you install any new ROM (6.1 or 6.5) you´ll be so happy that you won´t want to go back

OK;
I did install the new ROM (EVO 6.5 ROM);
it is very nice, I like it but the name of my country Iran is missing in this version also,
by the way I believe this ROM is application unlocked, I wonder why I can not install any application on it;
I searched online and found couple of free apps fo wm 6.5 but it won't be installed. I have not got any error or something.
some of the apps will go half and some up to the end but I don't find it anywhere.
any idea why?
if anyone has installed an application on htc s621 using same ROM please provide a name and a link to download if possible.
appreciate your help.

I don't know if this will help, or whether you have already tried it. You would probably have to do this while in Iran with the Iranian SIM card in the phone. Try entering your settings menu, All Settings > Phone > More > Networks > Menu > Preferred Networks. Scroll down to see if your Iranian network is shown with all the other international choices.
I have no idea how this list is generated, I assume it is by Rogers/Fido here in Vancouver. But you may have a political problem on your hands rather than technical. Are the sanctions against Iran reaching to some organization of cellular providers and the Iranian carriers are being blocked by them from being on the list? I don't know the answer, you would know a lot more about what is restricted in Iran (from within or without) than I would.
In any case, good luck.

OK; Here is what append with my phone;
I upgraded to 3VOLUTION series to see if the dialing problem will be solved or not, everything was OK after installation no errors or something, but as for the calling, as my phone had problem calling out using keypad, now this time after upgrading to wm6.5 my phone could not dial from phone book either,
so practically useless phone, it could only receive calls.
I searched for a solution online , did not find any answer, looked around phone shops here in my city, until I found a guy that said he can make it work, he had a box so in less than 20 minutes did something and phone start working properly, I can make a call from keypad and phone book no problem,
and in the location status the country of Iran is not listed either I am not sure what he did using the box.
I did asked the guy if I upgrade or downgrade WM can the same thing happen again, he was not sure.
I am thinking of downgrading to 6.1 since there are not much application found for 6.5.
but I don't want to pay the guy again for the same thing.
does anyone know of this things?
what he actually did with the box that can not be done without it?
appreciate any help

Quality check - for current owners??

http://stuff.tv/news/HTC-Desire-fails-T-Mobile-quality-checks-store-availability-delayed/14293/
Could this be for current owners as well?

Slightly worrying as I've got one from T-Mobile. Couple of things keeping me from being too worried:
1. I haven't noticed anything awry yet
2. If there is a glitch, it seems to be software based, so flashing the phone with/when the generic HTC ROM is officially publicy available (which I intended to do, anyway) should fix it.

load of bull because its available in shops now

I think it's likely that we've got phones with bugs and will get OTA update soon.

i wonder what about the unlocked and unbranded phones from mobiles.co.uk ?
maybe they had the t-mob versions and just unlocked them ?

Maybe so. lets wait and see. if its a software bug, i can live with that as it can get rooted/updated but if its a hardware issue.
well were ****ed then

My only grief until now is the absence of the voice-to-text facility. HTC have specifically mentioned this on desirehtc.com -> Android. They mention that "Rather excitingly, it brings us into a realm where voice-to-text is a reality in all text fields. Imagine sending texts or emails simply by talking to your phone. Now do it, we're there." How the t-mobile desire version did not get it is beyond me at the moment.

I find it strange that they only included the HTC Touch keyboard and removed the standard Android one. I ran both on my G1 and it was each to switch input methods with a simple long hold in a text entry field.

-deleted...-

Can't say I have seen anyone complaining of any problems yet.
Can't be that serious can it!
If it's a software problem it will soon be fixed. If it's a hardware problem I guess we will have our phones replaced.
I wouldn't worry about it. I would rather have the phone now with the seemingly trivial problem.
I flashed the Generic ROM anyway but I wouldn't recommend it as it's not possible to revert to the T-mobile ROM if you need to.
