in-call keyboard issues, back again???

alright, it's been awhile since i've been here but the last ROM i used was vp3g's v3.62.3 ROM on my ATT 8525. well it works great but here's my prob. it was running a little slow so i decided to try some updated ROMs. Now there was a problem with the build-in keyboard being suck on numeric when trying to use the built-in keyboard while being on a call. It worked just fine with vp3g's last ROM. I tried CRC and Shadow's 6.1 roms and it didn't work so i even tried Schaps latest wm6 rom and it still doesn't work. i don't want to use the on-screen keyboard for long texts messages while in a call, that's a pain in the ass. i can't locate any patches for this issue and i researched and it seems to still be an issue w/ other wm6 roms too. does anyone care about being able to use they're built-in keyboards while on a call to surf or txt? i know i do. i hope others and the cooks read this and understand that is was fixed and it's now broke again and needs a fix again. if i'm over looking something with this issue like a patch or a fix can someone point it out to me?

Raven,
Currenty, I am running K's ROM v1.30b, and dont have that problem...I was able to use both keypads during several calls - might be an issue with the ROM. Might need to either reinstall or switch ROMs again. (I'm partial to K's and Pay's ROMs)

Pays 6.1 rom has this issue as well... The fix has to be cooked into the rom, as it is a keyboard file that has to be replaced... and supposedly you cannot replace the file via the OS...

i'll try k's rom listed above to see if i have same issue. i really hate using older ROMs but vp3g's as i said was the last one that worked for me, unfortunately. hopefully k's will do the job.

I have used that version of K's Rom and can confirm that it does work. Jumped on the 6.1 bandwagon with Pays and issue is back. I'm actually going to flash back to K's Rom until there is a version of 6.1 with the issue confirmed fixed.

New hermes 8525: new Wifi issues

hey everyone i recently purchased a cingular 8525 with wm5 and decided that it would be a good idea to upgrade to wm6 (don't know exactly why but i did it) anywho... after i did so i found out that the wifi does not work anymore and i'm new at this so i have no idea what could possibly be the prob. Before i upgraded the os, wifi worked like a charm didn't really have to configure it or anything just detect settings and available wireless signals etc and that was it. pleeeez ppl who ever knows what i'm talking about please pretty please help cuz this is annoying me

Hi
Which ROM did you upgrade to, also, did you flash HardSPL before that? which Radio ROM are you running, and does the WIFI actually turn on when you use the comm manager?

I upgraded to the WM6 Cingular USA version, I did not flash HardSPL before that. I assume that unless the upgrade from wm6 changed the Radio ROM I am running, I’m still running the same one that comes with the version of wm5 that came with the phone when I bought it (btw what is a radio rom? Sry for my ignorance) And yes the WIFI actually turns on when I use the comm manager in fact it all seems to work fine but I just cant access the internet with it, even though it detects a signal. It stopped working the moment I upgraded to wm6

After flashing roms I had the same problem..make sure under the tab network adapters the line that says My network cards connects to..is set on internet..most roms start out with it on work..that change always works for me

So i deceided to downgrade the rom from wm6 to wm5 and yes apparently it has something to do with the rom version because my wifi connection works again!! with the old version which is wm5, but the moment I upgraded again to v6 it stopped working and like I said everything in the settings seems to be working fine, there’s just no internet, I should just be happy with the old version of windows mobile but version 6 has some features that I really liked does somebody know why this is happening? and if yes is there a solution? It might b more obvious than I think but I really don’t know so I really appreciate those who post help and advise thank you!

Put it back to WM 6.0..we will figure out what is wrong. There are alot of really good people on this forum and the answer to your problem is here. WM 6 is so much better.

Thanx for the support and the advise. So i installed another version of wm6 this one seems to be for Dopod but at least the internet works!!, the one i previously installed was an official version of wm6 for cingular which like i said before, for some strange reason i was not able to use the internet with wifi my only concern with having this Dopod version is that... well... its for the Dopod and does not come with the features that cingular offers to AT&T/ cingular users like myself. But then again it seems like everything else works just fine I just wonder why the cingular version doesn't work?

Sounds like your a little new to this. Here one of the golden rules:check out the hermes wiki and learn alittle about the flashing process and the different roms and their settings. There are alot of good roms out there that set up for ATT users, like K's Rom ,which is what I've been using for months. Works fine right after flashing. It has the right amount of programs and tweaks. Do alittle research and it will be worth it. It may take a couple different roms to find what you are looking for. Make sure you HardSpl your phone(the guide of flashing is in the wiki) Good Luck

i second blackout128's post
read the wiki
install hard spl
flash to your hearts content!
although, make sure you read the threads first! good luck and welcome to hotel d'hermes!

Had same problem with WIFI using (RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_3.62.502.3_6275_1.54.07.00_108_UOOS_SVN05_Ship.exe) ROM. Had to disable the Cingular proxy. Select: START-PROGRAMS-PROXY MANAGER-DISABLE PROXY. After that, was able to connect to the internet with WIFI.

What is it that you need help with? I have a 700wx and would love wm6.1, however, what would be the advantage of flashing to 6.1? and is there an unlocker available for the 700wx?

I'm very new to all of this, so I'm not really sure what the unlocker would be for. There is a way to load custom roms. It's extremely easy. I would like to get the 6.1 rom I have for the 750 on the 700wx, because I want the threaded sms embedded in the rom, and I would also like to get EVDO working correctly. I believe EDVO is not working correctly because of the verizon update. At the very least, I need a way to get it out of the current wm6 rom.
I have been able to add and remove files from the wm6 rom for the 700wx, but I am unable to dump it without errors. I have tried removing all of the files in the rom, and adding the files from the 750 6.1 rom. The rom will flash fine, but then 700wx sits at the bootloader. When I run nbinfo on the 750 rom it shows that it has a boot sector, but the wm6 rom for the 700wx does not.
Like I said, I'm very new to this. My progress so far has been trial and error.

NightRaven said:
I am currently trying to create a WM6.1 rom for the Treo 700wx. I have a working WM6 rom running now. However, there is an issue with EVDO not reconnecting after a disconnect. You have to soft reset the device for it to connect again. It will then run fine until EVDO times out, or you loose signal. I know verizon bastardized there EVDO implementation, and had to release a patch to correct there EVDO issue. I believe this patch was added to this rom, and is causing problems if you are running on another carrier. I'm running on alltel.
I am hoping an unbranded 6.1 rom will correct the issue. However, I am having trouble getting the 6.1 rom to boot after it has been flashed. I will give the 6.0 rom for the Treo 700wx to anyone willing to help. It runs much better than the stock rom.

I have a 6.1 rom and I'm able to get it to dump. I just can't figure out how to get it ported over to the 700wx.

Before you can flash custom roms to a phone you need to be able to unlock it. Thats why I asked if there was an unlocker for the 700wx, as far as I know there isnt one. I have been searching for one and havent found one as of yet.

The link in my first post is a custom wm6 rom. I was able to successfully flash it to my 700wx. It runs well with the exception of the intermittent evdo issue. All I had to do to flash it, was format my sd card as fat32. Copy the file to the sd card. Take the battery out of the phone. Reinsert the battery while holding the up volume key. The phone displays press up to update rom. Press up on the direction control. The phone will display checking sd card. Then it will show a screen with a progress bar that says downloading rm + bl or something to that effect. After the progress bar hit 100% the phone reboots, and you are running wm6. I never had to unlock my phone. I have confirmed that it works for Alltel, Sprint, Verizon, and Bell 700wx's. I would be really suprised if it didn't work for all of them.

NightRaven:
Interesting stuff. I'm going to have to DL it and take a look.
Couple of questions.
What AKU is this?
Does this have the Palm branded tweaks (IE: threaded messaging)?
Does this have SDHC support?
Where'd you get this ROM? (I suspect I know from where...or maybe I should say from who... )
You might also want to check out what we're doing over on TreoCentral. We have a WM6 ROM that seems to be working okay. I haven't used it a lot as I personally prefer the speed of WM5, but I'll probably start playing with it more at some point.

Not really sure. Does Sprint have the *228 option to activate a phone or update the PRL? That might help... You could also try one of the other options in Settings/Phone/Services tab/network.

How did you flash?
I haven't used this ROM yet, but I've used another WM6 Verizonized ROM, and had no problems with my Sprint Treo 700wx.

The WM6 ROM posted seems to be working great on my Sprint Treo 700WX. I flashed using the instructions provided in this thread. I've added the SDHC patch and am now running a 16 GB Treo 700wx!! I'm not getting the digital roaming message, indicated earlier in this thread and everything seems to be working the way it should.

If you PM me with a link to the SDHC patch, I'll build it into the ROM.

I added an Alltel Branded ROM link to my first posting.

Any luck with the EVDO issues?

I'm having the same problem. I flashed with WM6 and my phone no longer would connect to a Sprint tower, always on Digital Roaming. Also, under Settings > Phone > Services > Network I only had 3 options. Home, which got no signal at all. And two with the same name (I don't remember what it was now) but with A and B at the end, both of which would only do Digital Roaming.
So, I flashed back to ebag's Final ROM (http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=164457) and now my Services > Network options are back to normal, but the Home Network Only gets no signal while the other two are Digital Roaming all the time.
Can anybody help with this? I've tried calling Sprint and updating the PRL, I'm at 20229 right now, but no help. Somebody else suggested I needed to reprogram my MSID and SID, but the MSID is still correct and Sprint says they never put anything in the SID part.
I don't know what else to do now. I'm gonna try real quick to flash back to the Stock ROM, see if that helps.
I'm open to any suggestions now. I've been 2 days stuck on 1xRTT and it's killing me .

I'm using the Alltel branded ROM and it seems to be working fine. I think there might be a little more battery drain than I am used to but that is ok. The ROM is certainly faster that the stock 700wx ROM. I have yet to put many programs back on it but the apps i have installed are working flawlessly (SPB Time, Phone Suite, Mobile Shell, Pocket RAR, Pocket Music, and WMTorrent). The MMS doesnt seem to be working though. I'm not sure if i just need to apply Alltel's settings or what. The fact that MMS is not working is not too upsetting as Alltel phone's have never had it to begin with anyway. Truth be told, it is an excellent port of the popular WM6 OS! Great Job!!!! I would just like to note that EVDO is working perfectly.

Vogue GPS hardware port (TELUS)

Hi all, after following all the FAQs/instructions I upgraded my vogue on Telus to 6.5 and installed the Telus carrier cab and the GPS registry fix.
My GPS still doesn't seem to be working though - in particular, under settings there is no GPS detected and therefore the hardware port is not set to anything. Does anyone know the settings to the TELUS vogue to make it work? I've only tested iGo 8 so far, which doesn't detect a GPS. I will probably try iGuidance 4 on it soon also, but so far I can't seem to figure it out.
Any help would be great! Thanks!

Did you run the Bell ROM first to get your radio up to 3.42.50 or something similar?

He doesn't need to. The current Telus Radio is 3.41.00 which is high enough. Running his own radio will help with carrier provisioning as well.
From a fellow Canadian who knows lots of Telus Vogue owners that is good enough.
Where you errored was the gps registry fix. That is for Verizon users.
1. Reflash your Telus 6.1 Stock ROM, let all customizations run
2. Reflash V8 (or wait for V9) from bootloader
3. Hard reset
4. run Telus carrier cab
Done.......load google maps and the GPS should work.

Thanks jmitr. I'll give it a try since V9 is out and I'm going to upgrade anyways.
What's strange is on the NFSFAN page 238 rom, those GPS cabs are listed for all providers other than Bell, and Telus does have one (that's the one I used) that's separate from the VZW one. I guess that should be clarified somewhere.
Thanks again! I'll let you all know how it goes.

Help to find wm6.5 rom

Hi all
I ve searching for rom already for 2 weeks. I bought used diamond which came with cooked rom which I think was most stable rom, I flashed my dm many times to get my gps working but nothing helped I tryied official roms, cooked roms with different radios but cant find suitable (always flashed with mtty to avoid problems). please help me to find rom In which gps will work, will have integrated g-config, ezinput, manila 2.1 (not colored taskbar), and will be STABLE. Sorry for my english and thx for help
hspl 1.93 olynex
radio 1.09.25.23
The only rom which is close to original rom is satus rom below but it has some annoying bugs which roms are like this but fewer bugs ?
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559928

problems not the ROM's, its more likely to be your Radio.
Install a newer Radio from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470306

I tryed many roms with different radios but GPS is not working. I ve tested radios 1.09.25.23 and 1.11.25.01. Even with official rom and official hot fixes from htc,also with htc gps tool and cold start but nothing ...

Considering you did try everything concerning radio and rom, i get the feeling you might have a hardware failure. I've had some GPS problems on various devices but was always able to solve them with the HTC GPS tool.
When and how did your GPS stopped working?

when I bought it gps was not working It came with hspl 1.40 olinex unsigned, and wm6.5. I even tryed garmiin 4 and tom tom 6 without results

i've got the same hspl as you with a wm 6.5 rom on it and a rather old radio (1.13.25.24). No problems using GPS in Googlemaps and TTNavigator (7.916.9189)
Lemme know if you wanna try any of them, can upload them for you.

Yes. Steps involved while testing.
Install google maps (if not in included in rom)
update quick gps
Install htc gps tool =>change mode to cold start
go outside and run google maps.
no improvement

I need your sggestion. I m searching for rom which is wm6.1 with tf3d 2.0 or tf3d 2.1 and very close to official one ??? Or is it possible to uninstall old touch flo from official rom and install 2.1 version or just updae to that version ???
