Opal Dialer data connection - Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development

I there a way to get the data connection arrows to work properly?
I've searched all over and I can't find an answer. I found info for ## codes and for 911 but nothing for data.

I am working on that... I had it working at one point but the performance of the Slide to answer/Ignore feature degraded greatly... I'm hoping to have it fixed soon though....

Thanks
Is a matter of registry settings or dlls

When you figure out what is causing the problem would it be possible for you to post here what steps or how to fix the problem.. I also have that problem with a kitchen I use .. and I have never known how to fix it.. maybe its the same sort of problem.
Thanks

any fix yet?

911
Has anyone found fix for 911?
That is honestly more important then data arrow issue.

I agree but.. Im using my own 20748 kitchen and 911 works.. Im personally just having the dialer arrow issues.. Hopefully you find a fix for your 911 problem

So I finally got to the bottom of it.... it is NOT and issue... see when in an EVDO coverage area EVDO is DATA ONLY so the X symbol you see if for no Voice connection... is you force your connection to 1X or if you are in a non EVDO coverage area you will see that the icon with an X converts to an icon in 1X and the second icon is the one that actually refers to your data connection which should show arrows whether you are in EVDO or 1X... make sense???
If you look at a Diamond or Touch Pro CDMA you will see the exact same thing... if we had EVDV (data and Voice) the I guess we will see both icons all the time...

Sorry page froze while adding link see below

No that doesn't make sense at all because if I use a vogue dialer that's not the case. The icons work as they always have. The arrows should always be there but they are grey when not connected.
Also I have a link to a ppcgeeks thread that is supposed to fix ## and 911 the dll changes the call log icons but supposedly it works. I haven't tested because I don't want to actually get through to 911

you mean if you use a Vogue dialer it changes the icons shown by the enlarge title bar app???
The icons in your post are the ones shown by the enlarge title bar app... not sure how the phonecanvas.dll would affect that... but if you have more insight that would be great....

Yeah, with the vogue dialer I didn't have that icon at all. It didn't show evdo or 1x it was just gone. For the data connection arrows they were always there but grey when there wasn't an active connection.

I stand Corrected. I installed a cdma to double check because its been a while. The x arrow icon still displays but the arrows went back grey when not connected.

I'm having trouble following this thread... So, it is confirmed then that the Opal dialer is what's causing the connection arrows to remain at a constant white, rather than fluctuating between gray/white to indicate an idle/active data connection? Thanks,

That's exactly what causes it but no one seems to have a fix for it. Any dialer that is designed for a gsm phone will produce solid data errors on a cdma phone.

Thanks, so are there other "dialers" that one could install to replace the Opal dialer? Does this require cooking a new ROM? (I didn't cook mine, just using WDM's 1.6 ROM for the Vogue)
Thanks!

There are several cdma dialer cabs in the development & hacking section that would work

Cool, I'll check that out. Am I losing functionality by going to a different dialer? - in other words, is the Opal dialer the current "en-vogue" (pun intended) dialer?

WM5 AKU3 / WM6 little 3G icon

Hi,
On Universal WM5 AKU 3 versions, and WM6 the little G icon in the upper left corner of signal strength icon is not correctly displayed.
G is displayed instead of 3G when Universal is connected to the internet via 3G.
So my current toy is to fix this
Helmi talked about RSSI_Icons.dll on an other forum. ( Thanks )
RSSI_Icons.dll is responsible for radio signal strength and big data icon displaying.
I have written a new RSSI_Icons.dll.
It's a very first version, so it may contain bugs.
And unfortunately I don't have possibility to test it under different network conditions. It's working in my room(3G), and it's working If I try it on G network. But who knows
So anybody who likes can try it and report any bugs here. Thanks!
Install :
- unzip RSSI_Icons.zip and copy RSSI_Icons.dll to Universal's Windows directory
- soft reset
Uninstall:
- rename RSSI_Icons.dll to RSSI_Icon.dll for example
- soft reset
- After soft reset you will see original RSSI_Icons.dll because it's in ROM
- delete RSSI_Icon.dll
See the attached screenshots with the new RSSI_Icons.dll
First pic:
Universal is esablishing connection to the internet on 3G network.
Animated arrows, and little 3G icon!
Second Pic:
Universal is connected to the internet via 3G.
Notice little 3G icon
Version 2 (RSSI_IconsV2.zip)
---------------------------------
- Fixed small memory leak bug and slightly modified conditions
- Before installing uninstall previous version
I will leave previous version here if somebody have problem with V2.

Have tried it on O2 in London and seems to work fine. Couldn't get a 3G connection at first but I suspect that that was probably down to the weather at the time! Now I have a 3G connection, it seems to swap icons happily when I go from 3G to GPRS. Thanks for curing that annoying niggle!
Ok..work perfectly!
Installed... Nice tweak, congrats!
3g tweak
I niticed that I no longer was able to activate wifi with your dll. The option is not there and wifi would not activate in the com manager.

It's not my dll's fault. Maybe one program that was installed before.
I use wifi every day and I can activate it from the big G/3G icon and from Comm Manager.
And I'm using my own RSSI_Icons.dll of course

big g/u icon
Hi is there a way of converting the large G/U icon to say 3G instead of U??
If you understand me. When connected to umts it says U but the small icons now say 3g. Hmmmmmm confusing.
Not working
Hello all,
Tried this in a i-amte JasJar, with Helmi's WM Aku 3.2, and did not get the little U, altough I was for sure conected in UMTS mode.
In fact, the only diference I could see, is that the normal, big U, dissapeared, and now it shows only big G, no matter wath kind of phone connection I get.
Any ideas?
TIA

I don't have this error because I'm Using Helmi WM6 1.1.
It seems that your OS didn't load my RSSI_Icons.dll at all.
The factory default RSSI_Icons.dll is only responsible for big U, and when you overwrite it with mine and your OS doesn't like it, you will only see big G.
The question is why..
Do you see warning bubbles when you run unsigned exe/dlls ?

Yes, I understand.
It's strange because big 3G icon is included in my RSSI_Icons.dll.
Windows should call the exported LoadOemDataIcon and LoadOemDataIcon should do LoadIcon for big 3G if HKLM\System\OEM_State\RSSI, CSAF value is 16. Can you check this registry value ?
If it's present, then something other is the problem.
Maybe windows doesn't call at all LoadOemDataIcon on your OS.
I don't know
But if you like drawing you can use a resource editor to change small 3Gs to Us. That's my last idea, but it must work
Hi,
I've been using this since it came out, both V1 and V2, however, I've noticed a problem with it, I think.
I don't get the text and mail notification icons in the top bar (possibly voicemail too), and when there are multiple notifications (when you get the speech bubble) then the lower bar is always empty.
I can't say all of these symptoms are due to this DLL, but the text icon definately seems to be.
For info, I'm using Helmi's v1.1 Crossbow.
Cheers,
Steve.

I noticed on mine, I don't have the small bubble notification on top like on AKU 2 ROMs, but it was replaced by a big bubble notification showing how much I was charged with an OK button. A temporary mail icon appeared for 5 seconds followed by a left soft key notification, which I setup from settings. I also have the flashing orange light setup with sounds. So I think we have a lot of options here to remind us that there is a message.
I forgot to mention, I am using PDAViet's ROM.
I'm definately missing some of the icons on the top bar - they have returned now I've uninstalled.
Cheers,
Steve.

Video CALL xda live or Vanila.

I upgraded my tytn with xda live.
I read a lot and did find a solution for video call.
Did someone have Video Call working in xda live or vanila ?
How ? pelese ?
I would love the same if possible.
****************XDA LIVE ROCKS******************
Video calls solution
Galinha, Griffy wiffy!
I used this solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1149766&postcount=82. Some other people also reported this helped. The only difference for me, was that I installed these skin cabs (see attachment) one after another: "TyTN_Blue...", and then "zphone_..".
Please use search "search" function - these questions were discussed several times in XDALive threads.
Good luck!
Really?
Dear Konstantin K.,
Can you really use the video button to dial video call?
Some people can install the dial pad but when pressing the video call button, it just make normal call (NO video)....
Thanks for your reply in advance.
Install These cabs
Install these cabs it worked on my spvm3100 and video call works fine.
First install MT_PC_HERMES.... then the zpv_leaf
the first adds video calls the second installs the skin.
also make sure that your phone has the correct settings in connections so can actually connect to the 3g network to make video calls
hope this helps
This works well on my UK SPV M3100 on the 3 network.
Used the TyTN Grey dialpad from the wiki to try and match the colours on the Aero scheme.
Anyone found a better dialpad that matches the colours well??
work fine for me but device seems to be slower, that it was before I install it.
I used this:
MP_CVSDcpl_20060920.cab
MT_PC_Hermes_HTC_REG_070112.CAB
P_Generic_UI.CAB
and after that
zphone_reptile_blue_mm_qvga_3g_wm5.cab
Hello :
Thnks ! Where can i get these files ?
Are you haooy with you radio version ? GPS WORKS ???

PS I can receive Video calls fine, its just initiating the call from my M3100?
Just noticed that installing this fix on WMXL v.20 gives me the old green background on the Comm Manager program. It's hidious when compared to the rest of the theme. This didn't happen on WMXL v.10.
Any way to skin it back??

I have this problem also, I thought it was due to my video skin only though. Not too much of an issue, but suspect when the 'official' XDA Live skin for video calling comes out, then it'll be fixed.

My comm manager is blue. but this dialer lags horribly.........
Strange, my dialer works fine (except for the contacts button obviously) no lag at all. However as soon as I install the P_Generic_UI cab file included in the zip of 3 cabs poseted here my comm manger goes back to the old green HTC one in WM5. This did not happen to me in the previous WMXL release.
Tried it twice now and my comm manager has been reskinned.
Must be doing sommin wrong here, lol.

3G or not 3G

Hi there,
as you can see in the screenshot. I am not sure if I am connected with 3G or not. Acctually it looks like I am not. I think the small G should be a smal 3G, correct?
I had this problem with different rom and radio versions since I installed windows mobile 6.
Berfore I had WM5 with no problem.
How can I be sure if it is GPRS or 3G?
Cheers,
Christoph
Yep - you are connected with 3G. The little "G" icon is a little misleading, it just means you are connected - the icon to the left will indicate what sort of connection you have.
Cheers,
Steve.

Hi Steve,
I don't have the problem you described. Are you referring to the icon like a mail icon, appearing during an email or text message, as an example? If yes, then it still appears on mine.
I personally think too, that there are too many notifications already showing. For example, I get a text message, I get the email icon on the top bar, I get the bubble stating I have this # of text or email, and another notification on the left soft key. To me, having 3 notifications for one event is not good. First of all, it eats up memory. We all know, memory use is not one of the strong points in the Universal. Second, to negate all those notifications for one event, we choose which one to tap, and that is right, but who needs 3 notifications for one event in reality?
Sorry, for ranting on Microsoft...

3G and wifi balloons missing options

Hey!
So I upgraded to WM6 using Schapps' rom. So far so good, but I am really missing my connect / disconnect options from WM5 in the Today icons at the top of the screen. All they give me now is an option to go to the wireless manager.
How do I restore this much needed functionality? For example, when I launch IE or Opera by 3G / GPRS and then close the browser, I stay connected (with a little timer in the bubble). How come this no longer auto-disconnects? Also there is no option to force a disconnection from within the bubble.
Use shadowmite's tweak tool, this is a reg hack.
http://shadowmite.com/wiki/index.php/HTCustom
Hi, thanks for that, but I've got Schapps' Advanced Configuration tool in his ROM, which appears to closely resemble this. But there is nothing about the wifi balloon, nor is there anything about making 3G / GPRS auto-disconnecting. The "3G and GPRS disconnect and timer" option doesn't seem to work.
Edit: I don't really understand; why are reg hacks even needed to restore functionality that was in the previous version of WM? It seems like things are going backwards!!!

Those functions were unlocked using the exact same reg hack by carriers. They are disabled by default on all ROMs afaik.
Hi, I'll give the tweak tool a go once I get home. However I certainly did not have a countdown timer for 3G / GPRS when I had WM5. Is there no way to have an auto-disconnnect?
Also the tweak tool doesn't mention anything about the wifi balloon?
I know it's bad form to reply to one's own post, but just to crystallise this:
Why has my Wifi and 3G "Connnect / Disconnect" options in the icons at the top of the today screen (on the title bar), been replaced with a link saying, "wireless manager"?
And how do I get them back?
Okay looks like I may have found a solution. Please tell me the below is possible in WM6?

Question about 3G icon in new AT&T WM6 ROM

Hello everyone.
My first post here, although I have been an avid reader for a while now. I'd like to say thanks to vp3G and others for the excellent cooked ROMS.
My question: I just started using the new official WM6 ROM from AT&T. My fiance and myself both use AT&T 8525's, and I loaded the new ROM on both of our phones. Now, we can be sitting right next to one other on our couch, and her phone will read as having full bars with the 3G icon to the left of them. Then I'll look at my phone and I have full bars with the E icon next to them.
Would anybody here have any idea as to why? Identical phones, with identical ROMs and identical radio versions, yet she gets 3G while I only seem to get Edge, with the phones sitting side-by-side on the coffee table.
I'm confused on this one ...any ideas? Thanks a bunch in advance for any help and for the great site!

Yes, they are the same. We bought the phones a few months back and both shipped with one of the new AT&T SIM cards with the 3G logo on it. I used to get sporadic 3G at home with the older radio versions, but she has always had rock solid 3G on hers. It's weird, I know.

Well, since you looked under the settings>phone; you have the enable band tab reg edit right? If so make sure this is on Auto.
Couldn't tell from your post if you had this exactly.

I'm feeling kind of silly right now...I'm not sure what you're referring to. I open up the com manager in the lower right of the today screen, and then the left soft key becomes a "settings" tab. Opening that just takes me to the phone setting menu (Phone, Services, Network, etc...).
I haven't made any changes to the ROM, just using what it had available.

Ok. Go to Start-Settings-Phone
See if there is a tab on the bottom that says Band...
If you do then make sure that it says Auto on both.
If not then check out the hermes wiki and go to tweaking the hermes registry...
If your are using the 'official' att rom, and if it's anything like the old roms, then the band tab will not be there...
