Hi there,
Playing with Crossbow for a while now and here is what problems I encountered:
==============================================================================
1. No Videocalling support.
This is a well known one by now. Hope the fix is there soon!
2.Windows Live Messenger contacts to be synced with own Outlook contacts.
Also a well known one and very annoying as well. As annoying as it is, I guess I can live with that.
3. "Suggesting words when entering text" automatically enabled after soft reset.
Also very annoying. I always disable this function just because I don't want the device to suggest words while I'm typing. Seems to be a bug.
4. Homepage cannot be set in Internet Explorer.
The option is actually there in "Options", but the entry field is disabled, so it will keep Google.com as default home page. You can still set the home page by change the corresponding key in the register, but I think it should be possible just to set it in the Internet Explorer itself.
5. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth cannot be activated/deactivated by using the "Wireless" today screen item.
Better yet: the entire "Wireless" today item isn't doing anything when you click it.
6. ClearVue PDF comes up with an error when opening a PDF document.
Sometimes it will open a file, but most of the time it won't. You can use PDF files by installing Adobe Reader 2.0, but ofcourse it just has to work with the built-in ClearVue.
7. Freeze after soft reset.
Sometimes the device just freezes when rebooting after a soft reset.
Sometimes at the "Enter pin" screen, somtimes after entering the pin code.
Soft resetting again solves the problem. Bug?
==============================================================================
That's the list.
I hope this information means some value to you who are improving Crossbow!!
4) use registry
3) no need to edit it in registry, just click yourself through settings<br>
Start / Settings / Input / Word Completition.<br><br>
And I think it is not bug, but feature. If it wouldnt be switched on, you might not know your device can do it
because you either selected us as your location or you didn't select one and us is default
yes you were right, thanks. Tried to delete that post but no luck.
2) Actually, you can prevent that the synchronization of Messenger contacts results in unwanted contacts in Outlook:
- Before you sign in to Messenger, do the following
- Open Outlook (either on your PC or on your mobile device)
- For each of the contacts you've defined both in your Outlook and in your Messenger contact lists, specify the instant-messaging (e-mail) address of the Messenger-contact in the Outlook-contact; in the field called "IM" (in Outlook Mobile) or "IM Address" (in Outlook 2007)
- If you did the previous on your PC, synchronize your Mobile device with your PC
- Then sign in to Messenger on your mobile device
Now, when you open your Contacts application, you can see which contacts are online...

It IS a bug. I don't want this function to be enabled, so I switched it off. After a softreset it's always switched on again.
Mate your a bug! I am a systems analyst ok. A bug is something that DOES NOT WORK! Not something that doesn't work the way you like it!!
I see this trick every day. People request modifications that they want urgently by posting them as bugs.
Stop wasting midget's time. A new WM 6 ROM is important and needs to be tested and DE-BUGGED so amateurs like you can modify to your hearts content while power users like US can run a stable operating system.
I don't mean any offense but posts like yours waste our time - for example I receive these live via push email and feel compelled to review them in case there really is a BUG I need to be aware of.
My advice to you - go and buy a second hand palm & go play in the traffic...

Not that I care, but:
-Videocalling is supposed to work, and doesn't. That, by your definition, is a bug.
- Freezing on soft reset is a BUG. Freezing for any INTERNAL reason is due to something NOT WORKING
- Homepage settings, and word completion, settings not sticking after a reset are BUGS, because IT IS SUPPOSED TO DO THAT.
- The BUILT IN PDF program that freezes when you open PDF's is not a bug????
- I'll give you the wireless plugin for now because I am not sure if it is supposed to act differently.
Just because YOU CAN"T FIX IT doesn't mean it's not a bug!!! There are a lot of low-level users that read these forums and use these hacks. Issues like this are important to know to people who are contemplating changing ROM's. Have some consideration for them, and everyone else on this forum other than yourself.
I hope this is being pushed to your phone right now, and you are in the middle of something very intensive.
Like, sitting in traffic maybe
Encryption
Bug :
- Encryption Control Panel applet is useless.
I have to make registry changes to use encryption.
( By adding values to HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMemory)

And thanks for your support. Much appreciated. Really!
Anyway, when I uncheck the 'suggestion words' option by choice and it returns to enabled after a softreset... is that something that does work correctly then? It's not.

Hey fuho,
deleted the post for you...
I have a slow memory leak. It starts at 24M and after 3days i only have 17~18M (no programs running, of course). After a reset, returns to 24M.
Virtual poll - OK
pinnacle chess - OK
Text Maker - OK ...but it have some small issues
Pocket Stars -OK
SK tools - Ok

Well, I suggest waiting 5 minutes before soft-resetting. Changes you make to the registry need to be synced to the flash rom, which will take a little while. Happens everywhere, though. Try reading an email with direct push enabled (marking it as read) and immediately reboot. After starting mail again you'll see that that the mail you just read is marked as unread again. Same issue.
Just FYI...

I believe he his saying he didn't soft reset in 3 days.
yes. I simply didn't soft reset in 3 days.

Well then 17ish meg is pretty good then. Take it that would be normal use then - not really surprised.
So, I managed to upgrade to Kavana 6.1 on my own (yeeeaaah). I got a couple of questions though.
I followed the update with pics thread. Apart from the fact that it should state (for newbies like me) that you need to unzip the chosen ROM and run THAT RUU but anyway... at the end on the thread, it shows how to configure various things like wi-fi, texts etc... My question is, is it possible that mine did that all on its own? Because I did not get those images asking me what setup to get and the keymap/keyboard works fine, the wifi works, so far everything works, it even picked up T-Mobile on its own. Anything I should know? Second of all, the quote below... does not make sense in the English language. Please be more specific because I can't seem to get active sync to work. Thank you.
To Get ACTIVE SYNC to work after this:
Do this with the USB cord DISCONNECTED from the computer.
Scroll down or up to the settings panel.
Select
Scroll right or left to USB to PC.
Select
UNCHECK the first option.
Connect the USB cord after you click on ok.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Settings\USBtoPC untick advanced network functionality, do you get data if not then Connection Setup needs to be run.
Also if you want predictive off FN+SPACE in a text input box ABC.
That's it all done
well on your sliding panels homescrren the very last pabel is settings scroll over till you see the usb to pc panel cick on it and uncheck the first box.
lol sorry stlez gues we responded at the same time lol

Got it. It wasen't clear that it had to be done on the cell itself.
So, is it possible that all the settings have been setup all fine on their own?
What about Tegic multi languages, I tried it on WM6 and it did not have the et9 for Italian for example and the mapping was all wrong. Does it work only for WM6.1?
Thanks.
What is the up and down sign next to E? I guess its the jogger thing?
I love 6.1 so far.
Anyone?
So far the ROM is really good, but I got a couple of questions.
1) I think I solved the issue by deleting a draft text I had, but at times the phone would just vibrate without me getting a text or missed call, etc. Is this something that has occurred to others? Or you think it was just the draft text?
2) I was wondering if the et9Tegic with 14 languages works solely on WM6.1, reason I ask is because I installed it on WM6 and it did not have the et9 for say Italian. Maybe it was conflicting with Tegic-US?
3) I went on wifi, connected to my own connection that I have home, went on skyfire, and after a bit, the phone went sort of crazy on me. It would just click and move on its own. I had to turn off the phone in order to restore it to normal. Anyone know the answer to this? Should I worry? Is it frequent? I re-went online when I restarted it and it was fine, but I wonder if anyone had this issue.
4) To setup a background image, is 320X240 the whole screen, or does it cutoff the menu bar? If so, what is the actual visible size of the image?
5) I didn't have to go through the whole setup and was wondering if its normal that it setup sms, mms, wifi and everything else on its own.
Thanks.

We're you using the jogger to scroll when it went all crazy on you? That happened to me a while back , when I was using the jogger to scroll , it would not stop scrolling up or down. What worked for me was to set the jogger to use only for speaker volume and and for the wmp.
The backgrounds will use the whole screen at 320x240 size. I do all my images at 320x240 and they display perfect.
You shouldn't have to do anything on sms,and mms, other than connection setup, for your country and carrier, unless you get the mms problem that some people get.
For wifi, it should work right away,but to be able to connect, you have to set up your wireless network if you're at home or work, by searching with the phone's wifi and connecting and then providing the usual, (network type,authentification,data encription,network key) .

I wasen't using the jogger but I might have touched it involuntarily. Once I tried it again I know I did not touch it and it was fine. I guess I will also set it up like you suggested.
I didn't have to setup anything as far as SMS are concerned and I haven't tried to send or receive MMS yet, but once I completed the RUU the phone went on cold booting on its own and restart it fine all on its own. Wifi same thing, no need for me to do anything, I just connect fine anywhere.
Another thing it does, if I use the jogger or not, it pops up something telling me that dimlight should be kept at something like -t instead of -m? How do I get rid of that thing?
I got a bigger problem now. The phone at times just vibrates on its own without getting any sms or mms or missed call... What is it?
Thank you.
The -t and -m thing refers to the LowLight program. By default it's activated by tapping/touching the jogger 3 time within 10 seconds.
I was playing with it, after a new upgrade, last night.
Apparently you *are* touching the jogger...probably without realizing it.

Lord knows THAT is easy enough to do, lol!
When I first bought my Dash, it had WM 5 on it, and there was a setting for JOGGER sensitivity. Not one of the "cooked" ROMS I have used here have such a setting, thus even breathing on the JOGGER can set it scrolling/clicking madly.
How about it Kavana, NRG, Rickywatts? Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity of the JOGGER?

The only way that I know to adjust any type of sensitivity on the jogger is the speed of it. The faster you set it , the more sensitive it will be to the touch, and viceversa.
So, I think I figured the vibration. I was closing the Texts when I saw it pop up in the conversation, you know 6.1 has threaded texting, so I thought it would send it once it popped in, but I noticed that you still got to wait for the OK Info to come up to confirm the message has been sent. So far all good and no more vibration. So far...
Joggr don't matter. I set it to adjust volume only since I use the keys to scroll up and down.
1) What about the fact that I didn't have to setup anything (WiFi etc)? Is the setting up something that only non-USA resident have to do? Or...?
2) And does anyone have an MSN Messenger (or something close to it) that works on TEXTS and NOT data? I looked everywhere but nothing! Thank you.
3) I tried to look up here on xda and on Google, key mapping... kmap... notepad kmap... etc, but nothing. What I would like is et9 that has the USA Dash keyboard layout (keeping the t for CeleTasks of course) but also et9 for US English and Italian. I installed the et9TegicFull but the keyboard layout is UK English. I modified the .txt files in the et9 folder but the tab and symbol keys do not work except for writing 0 and going to the camera. Anyone?
4) When I restart the phone, the options on the media sliding panel on the home screen work fine. If I click on images, it goes to images, if I click on profiles, it goes to profiles. However, I noticed that the wifi one works fine at first, but after 3 times or so that I use it/click it, it stops working and to get on wifi I have to go to Start>CommManager and click on wifi icon. Even when I click on the right soft key (when on the media sliding panel home screen) which is connection settings, and I click on commmanager there with the center key... nothing. It clicks, but doesn't go anywhere. Why?
Thank you.
Anyone please?
1) If your router is not encrypted then it would just connect, if it is encrypted you must have put in a key.
The rest if set up don't worry generally have to run connection steup.
2) You want OZ Messanger think only jdog & Mikey know how to set up?, You could set up Yahoo on home computer and when people sent message will come to phone and can reply via text.
3) Not sure what you mean does nothing work?
4) Sounds like a hard-reset needed bruv as never had probs with Commanager on Kavana's

1) I mentioned wifi just to make an example. I didn't have to setup anything like carrier sms mms etc but I see in the guides that some people do? Mine just restarted fine.
2) I have unlimited texts. I have T-Mobile OZ Messenger and it works. I have AIM, ICQ and Yahoo. I was wondering if someone has an MSN program that works on texts. Also, I noticed that when I open the .cab file for the oz messenger on my desktop, it has an MSN file. I was wondering how to make that one show instead of ICQ. Maybe it will work?

3) I never said nothing works... I asked to have a US Dash keyboard layout and et9 for English and Italian.
4) Sorry but what is bruv? What I am saying is, when you go down the last panel on the Home screen, you can choose from profiles to taskmanager to jogger settings and also wifi enabling. So, if I were to click on wifi, I would get a panel when I can click on/off. Ok? It works fine for the first 3 times I use, but then... when I click on the wireless manager on the home screen again, it doesn't go anywhere. Why? For it to work again I have to reboot the phone.
See...
This is Wireless manager...
When I reboot my phone, if I go to it and click on it... I get this...
But after a while, both this
and this (CommManager after I right clicked on connection settings, as you can see in the image)
when I click on them with the silver center button, do not work. Got it? Send To Phone

1) Yes thats why the second sentence
2) Just use OZ if you got set up, MSN messanger does not do text.
3) I needed clarification don't think possible as can't have Tegic & T9full, Tegic English is US eT9 English is UK
4) You have something wrong if you cannot always access commanager, to which is why say hard-reset. "not normal behaviour" lol no need for pictures i'm not a noob
I know you are not. But maybe I was not clear.
1) Reason I ask if its cool that everything worked at once on its owns is because I was wondering if maybe later on I will encounter issues. Wanted to get them out of the way now.
2) So, there is no MSN Messenger or other program for WinMo that works on texts? Wow.
3) I could simply install the et9 Tegic Full with 14 languages and remap the notepad files. I did so, but I can't get the tab to work as a tab, it just types 0, and the symbol button just works for activating the camera or it writes an e'. I was wondering if I can change something in the notepad files to make those two work because other than that I fixed the problem. Anyone?
4) Alright, I will try hard reset. Will this delete everything or no? Anything I should watch out for? Thanks.
