Treo 750 WM6 Technical Discussion

[oo3]

I'll start. Anybody know of another cab file to get rid of the logo with bluetooth? hidelogo.cab no longer works. When I install it and activate it, I get an endless loop of soft resets.

Another thing that's going on is everytime I soft reset, it shows that I have a voicemail, and it only goes away when I check it, even though I have no messages.

[OrangeTruckGuy]

I broke it! I hard reset my phone. Then I formatted the memory card in FAT32 to make sure it was good. I then copied the file to memory card. Used the left bottom button and reset spot to reboot device. After reboot, able to press END/Pwr to start update. It goes all the way through the update to only a hair left on the end. At which point I get a fail message.
I have Cingular branded Treo that I use with my T-Mobile sim card. Battery fully charged. Tried this 3 times. If I reset, setup auto starts. If I take mem card out and reboot, I get the colored screen, with 'Serial' at the bottom.
This is what my screen shows:

00018002
CHEEIMG.nbh - FAIL

SPLASH1 - OK
bOOTLOADER - OK
GSM - OK
MICROP - OK
EXTROM - OK
OS -

UPDATE TERMINATE

Any ideas ?

Don't panic.. =)

Let's try a few things. First, reformat your mem card (yes, again) and make absolutely sure it's formatted fat32. Next, copy the CHEEIMG.nbh file over to your card. Now compare the size of the file on the card with the original copy your downloaded and make sure they are the exact same size.

Next, take your SIM card out of your phone. Then put in the memory card, and go through the process again.

Let us know how things progress.

[RF9]

OMG! We now get the "E" icon for EDGE!
Carrier now says "AT&T instead of ATT
I like the new card detect/remove sounds.

[cjmedina]

a couple of things I noticed so far. the web kind opf stalls out after a while of surfing. I have to disconect then reconect for it to work again. I also noticed that if you install the htc home screen you lose the send button, meaning it won't work anymore you also lose the keypad. it also doesn't come with a streaming app so no rtsp (3gp) streaming. I tried installing the hermes version but only got to 99% then pushes me back to pie

[SecureGSM]

Settings -->System-->About-->Phone:

Software Version - doesn't get updated properly with this ROM.

It stays as it was prior the upgrade.

[ga41]

I noticed that you can now charge the battery via USB

[rosewood2k]

1) installing and removing programs take more than twice as much time, i.e. Windows Live. when removing it the phone seems to hang for minutes.

2) I've set a password to protect the phone after 10 minutes idle. now after resetting the device it shows an unusual behavior:

first it asks to enter the lock password, after that it should ask me to input the pin for the sim-card. the "enter pin" screen shows up for only a second and goes away straight to the "today" screen, leaving the phone useless.
to enter the pin I have to switch off the phone and turn it on again.

3) starting up after reset seems to take one minute more than before. with the bug in (2) it's about two minutes more...

[AKTOPSHOOTER]

Looking at the rom after experimenting wit it a bit I found the Htc touch homescreen to alter the devices send hardware key. It somehow alters the reg for the default dial key. Loading the the hermes or kaiser's six button com manager also has no response however it disables the default Dial pad which I regained via hard reset. This rom will definitely take sometime to cook and perfect. I hope they soon release the offical update in which may have more support. However if any this would be the idea rom to start experimenting with in the kitchen

[cemak]

After upgrade it changed my IMEI. Not fully only two last number! Now I have problem with my purchased software :-(
Any idea?

[spartanrob]

I have noticed the same problem.

[rosewood2k]

it added two digits to my IMEI (20)

[spartanrob]

it added two digits to my IMEI (20)

It changed my last 2 digits to 20.

[cemak]

It changed my last 2 digits to 20.
Exactly :-( But now I downgraded back to original Palm WM5 ROM and last two numbers are again changed! So with WM5 ver. 1.14 I had last two numbers of IMEI ...12 with WM5 ver. 1.16 are ...14 and with WM6 ver. 1.47 are ...20 - interesting...

[spartanrob]

Will this effect the unlocked status? mine unlock code was provided by cingular.

I don't think it changes the IMEI, it just adds two digits to it depending on the firmware!
the IMEI on the sticker behind the battery has 15 digits, in the about box of Windows Mobile it has 17 digits...

I don't know my device is branded by Vodafone and I use it with T-mobile on any ROM with no problems. Seems to be fully unlocked.

Ahhh. Nice catch. I checked the sticker inside and the last 2 digits don't appear. but, it stll causes some of my software not to work.

I had the same issue. Make sure that the ROM you downloaded is the full 83 megs. A couple of places only downloaded 26 megs and then stopped, but said that the download was complete. When I tried to update, it was not the full rom and failed. The fix was to load the complete ROM onto my miniSD card and then performing the update again. It installed with no problem. Hope this helps.

[NRGZ28]

Here's another rapidshare mirror of this ROM in case anybody needs it. It's the full 86 Megs, uploaded by me.

Well, I'm thinking that the SD Reader built into my laptop took a crap. I put the card back in so I could reformat, and it just wouldn't recognize it, or any other SD card. Went to OfficeMax and picked up a USB SD Card reader for $10. I was able to format my card in Fat32 and update seems to have gone well. Thanks!

[AKTOPSHOOTER]

any chances we can change the size of the htc touch cube so that it will fit the treo screen... I really which the home plug in didn't screw wit the hardware buttons hopefully we can work on a reg edit for it to operate correctly while the plug in is enabled... The ui really is convenient on the treo with its keyboard easily defeats the htc elf

[graylion]

OK now I have 1 problem after the upgrade.

I am using a 750v with the WM6 rom on the former AT&T (blue) network.

I can not edit the speed dial #1 voicemail. I have had to use another slot.

I have tried editing the registry

HKLM\Software\Palm\Varnish\SpeedDialPlugin\Voicema il..

Change the DWORD value of "IngoreSIM" from 1 to 0

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Palm\Varnish\SpeedDialPlugin\VoiceMa il\Deletable
to 1 as well.

I had the same problem when I first purchased the 750v but it was fine after i changed the registry.

Now the registry change does not work.

I would really appreciate anyone who can help or shed some light on this.

Thanks

[100thMonkey]

so, I have the voicemail buttons setup to display for all 5 of my voicemail lines, but no joy on getting them to display on the today screen during a call. Actually during a call, my screen no longer is dominated by the call. Defiantely a bug

[dma1965]

Okay, I found a bug that I can reproduce. It is fairly minor, but a bug nonetheless. If you adjust the brightness to anything less than the 5th tick from the left (or one less from dead center), when you power off the device, or the keyguard powers it off, it will power itself back on. This will go on randomly for several power off cycles. I could not figure this out, so I hard reset and made changes one by one and tested, and sure enough, when I set the brightness to the 3rd tick over (I do not like it too bright), it happened. Fortunately, the fix is easy. I just move it up 2 notches. Now where the hell are my Oakley's ?:D

[100thMonkey]

here's something interesting. In the today plug in settings, uncheck EVERYTHING, then go to make a phone call and dial from the Today screen. A different dialer pops up for me than the Palm dialer

That is the default Windows Mobile 6 dialer. Microsoft incorporated it in the WM6 ROMs. It is the same one used in the Cingular 8525 WM6, and it is really good. It probably appeared because something in the Palm ROM is tied to the Palm lookup in the today screen.

[barrydavisjr]

In case anyone else is interested. I am waiting on another forum for a response back from someone who was able to get cingularvideo working. will post when i find out. I have tried changing the UA but that did not seem to work.

[MilanoRex]

I'm already regreting jumping on the upgrade..it seems slower than WM5, and it's pretty buggy. It wouldnt let me answer a phone call, now my backlight wont turn on, even after a soft-reset!!

[Merlyn_3D]

I would try the flash again to be sure, there are many who aren't having these issues at all.

[MilanoRex]

It flashed fine. The ROM is just buggy.

i got cingular video to work by installing wpbear customized cab, only problem is that it gives you some stuff that doesnt work on the treo, because it was designed for the hermes

[MilanoRex]

I got the backlight working after a hard-reset. Hidealogo.cab installed fine and got rid of the carrier logo + bluetooth icon. I noticed that the system tray is active, even though there's no icons. Anyone know how to get rid of that? it's taking up valuable space!

also, the PTTFix cab works great too.. now I can use the side button for press AND press+hold

[RF9]

In case anyone else is interested. I am waiting on another forum for a response back from someone who was able to get cingularvideo working. will post when i find out. I have tried changing the UA but that did not seem to work.I did get it working. The problem is that the User Agent has moved to a different place in the registry. So if you use a cab or .reg fir to import a UA, it does so to the ol location where IE no longer looks.
I'm not at a PC right now or I'd post a reg file for you to use and the UA location.
In the mean time use resco registry editor to search for "agent" until you find the new location, then edit it by hand to the blackjack UA. 8525's might ork too.

[spartanrob]

Not buggy for me, seems to be working great. It also seems that I am getting a better signal.

[Merlyn_3D]

Ditto...except signal is the same, but I haven't noticed that call dropping issue anymore in a UMTS/GSM hybrid area.

[100thMonkey]

A hard reset revealed that it must have been a bad install of apps because a clean unit had none of the problems I had earlier.

I have noticed that Adobe Reader doesn't seem to want to install on the WM6 ROM, though Piscel is already on there, so its no big deal

Thank you! I've been trying to figure out what was making my Treo randomly power on all day. I too like the screen a bit dim since it saves quite a bit of battery, but with this glitch it makes it impossible. Maybe there's something that can be tweaked in the registry?

Here is the registry export. One is for the Samsung Blackjack, and the other is the original Treo 750 (if you want to go back). I can confirm this works, as I can now watch Cingular Video.

I tried the 8525 user agent as well. I found that when you use the BJack user agent the CV site gives you larger fonts. When you use the 8525 it gives you smaller fonts.
I recommend the 8525 UA.

I'll attach a zip file with an 8525 user agent that works on Treo WM6. I've included BJack and Treo 750 also (all 3.)

[kortez]

A little guide here please on the install of these files

[Merlyn_3D]

Quick question, has anyone actually seen their treo handoff from GSM to UMTS? I know it hands off fine from UMTS to GSM, but does it go the other way?

[kortez]

To delete all the AT&T links from programs folder just delete 'em in File Explorer: they're in Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder.

[RF9]

A little guide here please on the install of these filesYou will need to install a registry editor. I've only ever used Resco Explorer registry editor, so I don't know if others work this way or not.
But Resco Explorer registry editor associates itself with .reg files.
All you do is open up the normal file explorer app, and click on the .reg file, and resco explorer will 'import' that setting in to the registry.

The registry editor comes with Resco explorer (You'll notice it's a separate .cab file that's a plug in.)
http://resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/default.asp

Again, i don't know if other free registry editors will import .reg files just as easily.

This works on the reverse as well. What you do is explore the registry then click and hold on any a folder and you'll get the option to export those settings to a .reg file. This is a good way to back up settings before you screw with them

You can also copy the .reg file to your pc then right click and "edit" the file if desired.

[ghettopops]

Hmmm I downloaded both the Treo file and Resco and it says that it installs the reg file but i still get no CinVid

Try a soft reset

[ghettopops]

Did, no luck. Darn.

[RF9]

Use the Blackjack or 8525 file. The Treo file will put it back to default.
Also, press and hold OK and stop IE after making the change. IE has to be restarted.
Remember to reapply the Treo user agent if you dowload software directly to th phone via IE, as some sites like yahoo go use the user agent to pick which cab you get.

[spartanrob]

twice now my touch screen has stopped responding. A soft reset has resolved the issue. Anyone else?

I guess they've proportioned the text to fit the screen best.
So I recommend the 8525 user agent. Just FYI.

so after the initial excitement i've found that my BT headset doesn't work. it connects and disconnects but isn't receiving or transmitting voice. tried everything but in the end reverted back to WM5. BT headset now works fine so not sure what there is in WM6 that killed it!

My motorola 850 is working perfectally, maybe try to delete and re-pair it.

[jnl]

Hello,

I have just loaded the WM6 ROM from this site and am experiencing the following issues on a Cingular Blue SIM in CA:

1) cannot send text messages. every outgoing text message results in an error within a couple of minutes indicating the message could not be sent, error # 60000005

2) every time I call any number whatsoever the phone believes I am making an emergency call. This is primarily a cosmetic issue except if I disconnect the call to quickly; disconnecting too quickly results in not being able to make new calls as the phone is now in 'emergency call back mode' (?)

These are both serious enough issues that I think I'll have to go back to WM5. Too bad.

[mikechadwick]

[sevet]

Just installed it on a vodafone 750v seems to work great (still unlocked) except that iGO 2006 plus (my (best) navigation application) now doesn't work correctly, the screen is compressed in the middle of the screen... the buttons in the screen are where they should be and not like what is shown on the screen itself (a button at the lower right is shown in the middle right of the screen but pressed at the lower right), needless to say it word fine on WM5.

[Andrea71]

Hi, how to enable internet calling with wm6 treo 750 rom?

Thanks

[spikesclone]

I'm not sure if this is normal or not. After installing new WM6 ROM with HSDPA supposedly activated - I was still getting '3G' with 100% signal in a known HSDPA area. It was only when I launched PI that it changed to 'H'.

But it's intemittent - stop actively browsing, symbol changes to 3G, start surfing - changes to H.

After soft reset - cannot get H back in same location is was there before.

Installing the old HSDPA hack for WM5 - seems to trigger HSDPA connection again.

Soft reset - lose it.

Soft reset again - it's back & remains so until another soft reset.

Is this normal??

[summiter]

A little birdy tells me it's an attempt at power savings. You'll get the "3G" indicator when UMTS is available. When you are actively pushing data, the device will climb into HSDPA mode if that is available. Shortly after data flow stops it will drop back to UMTS to conserve power.

I'm not sure what percentage of towers have HSDPA active in my area, but I've found that within the same 10 sqaure feet of my cubicle prison I can get HSDPA consistently for hours, and then other times not so much.

[awojtas]

I've upgraded my VF 750v running 1.15VF to WM6 and can't receive calls at all. When I would expect an incoming call, I can watch the phone and the signal icon changes to completely no signal [Yx] and the phone searches [Y...] briefly (about 5 seconds) then finds the network again and is back to normal signal.
The phone itself does not ring or show any alert of any kind to indicate a call was supposed to come in. The voicemail alert (if a voicemail was left) only comes in when you make a call out.

I upgraded by using MiniSD card FAT32.
I thought perhaps old software was left on, so I used Palm's Devicereset tool, hard resetted again, and then flashed WM6 again and hard resetted again after flashing - no difference.
I've tried forcing GSM only, and even using Manual network selection.
No additional programs are loaded on, it's completely standard.
Outgoing calls work fine. Txts work fine outgoing, although incoming are somewhat delayed, seems like it has sleepy phone syndrome - not waking up on the network - unless an outgoing call/txt is initiated.
I can use the internet fine, HSDPA is working great.
Bluetooth is also working very well.

Any ideas?
I noticed a couple of other ppl on here said they found it buggy and were pooh-poohed by other members of the forum. Perhaps it's hardware version dependent? Like the HTC Wizard... there were slightly different versions of hardware that affected WM6 upgrading.
Serial #: PRNU0CM6H0ED
IC: 3905A-KITT
No revision numbers anywhere under battery.

[netsyd]

I've upgraded my VF 750v running ....

I noticed a couple of other ppl on here said they found it buggy and were pooh-poohed by other members of the forum. Perhaps it's hardware version dependent?

Stands to reason. Given a lot of the other people with problems seem to have also been running the 750v or from outside the US. I honestly don't know if there was a hardware rev. between the 750v and the 750... But so far I can say on a Cingular 750 it's been nearly flawless.

I say nearly flawless because I have atleast one problem, when I try to sign on to Windows Mobile Owners Circle Forums I get an error that says JavaScript required to sign in and that PIE may be blocking scripts. Wasn't that way before.

Is this normal??Yeah I also notice that I get "H" when actively using data and then it drops back to 3G when it's 'idle' (if you will.) But it usually goes back to "H" when doing data. It toggles back and forth pretty consistently for me. But no, I haven't had a problem getting it to go back to H. It usually does but not always in weak areas.
I also assume this is due to power saving.

HSDPA will only stay active when you are using it. It then times out and goes back to 3g. There's technical writeups on here somewhere if you are interested in the details. If i remember correctly it has to do with power and that the cell sites can only handle a very limited number of hsdpa connections at one time so it downgrades you when you aren't using it.

[awojtas]

I've now gone back to WM5 because I couldn't receive calls. I don't mind Bluetooth or HSDPA not working... but a phone just isn't a phone when it can't receive calls :)

So I was wondering if there is a way to extract the Radio ROM out of WM5 to use with WM6? Then some of the ppl having issues with calling/freezing could test and see if the Radio affects this positively - could be dependent on wireless network or handheld hardware revision etc.

this is the second wm6 rom that i have tried and both of them have had the same problem. call waiting does not work for me. if i am on a call and another call tries to come through i can hear a call waiting beep, but there is no indication on screen that there is a call waiting and there are no options in any of the menus to answer either. i have an at&t branded treo that is unlocked and i am using it on the rogers network in toronto. when i flash it back to wm5 it works perfectly. can anyone help, or can anyone at least confirm that call waiting works for them?

Call waiting works perfectly for me. I've confirmed this by calling my voicemail then calling my treo from skype. Works everytime.

Try the palm device reset, then flash the rom, then the hard reset involving the up button, and let the treo do its initialization thing and see if it works.

[Iman07]

will this rom work with the treo 700w? i cant get a straight answer.

No (to my feeble understanding) ... they use different radios. One is CDMA the other is GSM, so technically it won't because the hardware is sufficiently different.

[hondaguy]

I was under the understanding that the palm reset program was used to clear out all of your data and settings so the device could be set back to original condition. if I flash the device with a new rom then all of my settings and data would be erased anyways, so I am not sure this extra step is needed. after having the exact same problem with two different versions of wm6 (completely unbranded and att version) I am skeptical about flashing again. I just don't want to go through the hassel for a 5th time unless something has changed or until there is an actual workaround or patch.
thanks for the thought, though

I would just like to say that i have eveything working 100% for me now. i have deleted all the AT&T stuff too. Very very happy, almost a legit rom...:)
Hopefully telstra will release the official ROM soon!

[moe-lee]

Does anyone has test the sound of Hardware Button? Because when I type something with the keyboard and the tap sound is come out slowest than it should be, it sound strange when you hear double tap sound at same time. When I was using WM5 it didn't happen. Because I like to type with that sound, it feel like typing in machine type. And how to solve that problem? Thanx :(

Do you have idea how to remove AT&T logo when you switch on/off the phone?regards

[conekkted]

It sure would be nice if everyone would put some information in their signature about their device, carrier, locked status and the software they are using...especially for a thread like this one. It is difficult to tell what devices/carriers are having bugs because folks are posting issues with little to no information. If we truly want this thread to be successful then please take a minute to add this to your signature. That way people can make informed decisions (and also help you much easier if you post a question). Thanks in advance. Great job everyone.

[RF9]

Do you have idea how to remove AT&T logo when you switch on/off the phone?regardsI have tried. There is a place in the registry which points to the .wav and .bmp file for the logo graphic and sound. On WM5 I could just change this reg setting, but on WM6 this reg setting already points to the Palm_ROW graphic and changing it doesn't work.
So I've tried and failed. I assume it's in .dll file or something. But I too would like to know.

I had a similar issue. The fix is to download the full file and then load it on your sd mini card through your computer. You can then follow the instructions to update and it will complete the update. Don't worry, once you have the full ROM your Treo will work again.

Hi guys thanks for your tips. Can you also let me know of a way in which I can go back to the WM5.

Has anyone else experienced any issues with their voicemail speed dial not being able to be changed? I know that one other user ... back on page 3 (sorry, I didn't write down your name) had the same issue, but then it wasn't discussed again. I've edited the registry entries (successfully on WM5) and tried to do so in this ROM. So I know that it worked in WM5 because I was able to successfully change the entry.

However, even though the entries stick (they're now a 1 as oppsed to be a 0 before). I still can neither Ignore my SIM settings or delete the Entry.

I'm using youmail as my voicemail provider.

It's not a life or death thing. I've already programmed a different number for the speed dial as well as having a contact entry for it. It's just that the voicemail button won't work when I have a waiting call. More of a frustration thing than anything major.

Besides this, I like the ROM, better radio reception for one thing!

[singhnx]

Alright, I've run into another problem. I've got the old ATT Blue plan and I can connect ... once.

Then I have to go and view my connections settings again (mind you, I don't have to make any changes) and it'll work again. ... Once ... Then repeat the cycle. :)

u have download a corrupted file, the correct rom size is 82.3MB under Vista. Make sure u formatted yr MiniSD to FAT32 (i am using Vista) and do as per instruction. U should be able to flash it to WM6 ;)

[spikesclone]

Don't know if this is an issue only for UK (or other guys outside of the USA) but HSDPA on this ROM still requires me to use the original hack for WM5.

After seeing replies from you guys regarding the appearance of the H only when transmitting data I did a few experiments.

After a soft reset HSDPA access was no longer available, was always 3G. Soft reset many times- could not get HSDPA back.

Applied the patch - soft reset - 3G

Soft reset second time - HSDPA back.

This is repeatable every time - no HSDPA without hack - get it back after 2nd reset with hack.

I have an unlocked 750v on Vodafone uk contract.

Do you think it has anything to do with the fact this is a US AAT ROM since you guys in the US get HSDPA without hack?

I tried what you suggested, then hard reset it and reinstalled the wm6 rom and the call waiting problem went away! not sure, not sure that I care why. thanks for the suggestion.

my phone will connect quickly to the rogers data network in toronto and does show the H when transferring data.

[hondaguy]

no i only receive about 1 out of 20 calls! doesnt seem to matter if data is attached or not. the phone looks like all is well, but it will not ring. i can make calls and data works fine. i am trying one more hard reset, if it doesnt work then i am giving up

AT&T Sim & Treo 750

Well it finnaly happened. I needed a replacement SIM card because all inbound calls went to voicemail. Outbound was ok.

After turning down several reps who wanted me to upgrade to the new and great 3g cingular orange. I received my replacement blue and white AT&T sim card. After activation I can now make and receive calls.

But, no text, no internet and no email, ARGGGG!

After many hours on the phone with a very nice and knowledgeable tec I was told this is not a supported device and service could not be provided. So I pulled out my Nokia 6201 and said ok lets support this, in this case.

Anyway lots of pain here are the steps and settings I used to get my internet and email.

Settings > Connections > Connections > Manage Existing Connections

This should take you to the MyIsp Modem Screen. There was a preloaded ATT connection that I think was created using the SIM card. I will not go into the number of settings I tried with this that did not work. In the end I found out I could delete this modem connection by pressing on the black dot.

Next touch new for a new modem connection

i just lost vibrate. now the phone won't even vibrate after the upgrade. anyone experienced the same problem?

[singhnx]

I don't understand what you mean by you lost vibrate? Did the checkbox for it diappear ... is it grayed out?

Or can you not turn it on whether the checkbox is checked or not?

Have you tried a soft reset?

Do you have Spb backup or sprite ... so that you can try the following:

1. a hard reset ... see if the vibrate works
2. load your backup file back on
3. see if the vibrate continues to work

I think that both sprite and spb are free for 14 days.

[jakibe]

Occasionally, the vibrate alert gets stuck. I have had it happen twice -

Once when I switched the top switch to vibrate

Once when I recieved a call and the phone was in vibrate mode

In both cases, the vibrate got stuck "on" and just went on and on and did not stop. I had to do a device reset to recover.

Has anyone else seen this?

A reset with the reset button next to the sd card. I assume this is a "hard reset".

Jakibe

:) It's actually a soft reset. A hard reset is when you hold down the power button, (the red end call button) while you hit the reset button.

It will prompt you to hit the up jog dial to confirm you want to do a hard reset.

Yup, i can confirm that this also has happened to me. But i thought it was the mring ringtone manager that was made for wm5 that was acting up? Are you using any ringtone manager? I had to softreset mine too.

[freitasm]

I've installed this on a 750v... Initially it can place phone calls, but the first time I try calling my own number from another phone it will simply return a "Number out of service".

From this moment the 750v won't place any calls. Data (WCDMA, HSDPA) works ok, SMS works fine, only voice calls won't work.

I tried my SIM on another Pocket PC and it works fine. I tried someone else's SIM on this Treo 750v and it fails too.

Any ideas?

no ringtone mgr here. the only thing I have loaded audio wise is tcpmp. I did not notice it until after that.

[abs99]

Okay, I found a bug that I can reproduce. It is fairly minor, but a bug nonetheless. If you adjust the brightness to anything less than the 5th tick from the left (or one less from dead center), when you power off the device, or the keyguard powers it off, it will power itself back on. This will go on randomly for several power off cycles. I could not figure this out, so I hard reset and made changes one by one and tested, and sure enough, when I set the brightness to the 3rd tick over (I do not like it too bright), it happened. Fortunately, the fix is easy. I just move it up 2 notches. Now where the hell are my Oakley's ?:D

Yes, I just confirmed - this is a bug. Hopefully the final release will solve.

[abs99]

It flashed fine. The ROM is just buggy.

I haven't had these problems - what do you have installed on that phone?

[abs99]

I can confirm that call waiting is working for me. I just did a test where I dialed out on my Treo and called into it from another line. I get the call waiting alert and I was able to switch to the second call without any issues.

I haven't seen this problem yet. Can you list what software you either have installed currently or installed and uninstalled since your last hard reset? I am guessing that some software may overwrite some files or change the registry with settings from WM5 and cause this problem?

I am using PhoneAlarm and have not seen this issue so far (about 2 days since my update).

I am trying to track down the touted "Flag for Follow-up" and HTML messaging that was supposed to come with Outlook in WM6. Am I missing something or did it not make it into the WM6 release?

[eneisch]

It works for me with my pop mail. If you are trying to get HTML e-mail through exchange push mail the version of Exchange Server needs to be 2007. Unfortunately my company runs Exchange Server 2003. For me the HTML option for my Exchange account is greyed out on the Treo.

[jshank]

I found the setting for html email buries in the Exchange account setting and it is greyed out for me as well. looks like its time to upgrade our server. How about the flagging?

[vtdev01]

That is the default Windows Mobile 6 dialer. Microsoft incorporated it in the WM6 ROMs. It is the same one used in the Cingular 8525 WM6, and it is really good. It probably appeared because something in the Palm ROM is tied to the Palm lookup in the today screen.


Is there a way to default to the windows mobile 6 dialer? Or access it? I have tried removing everything from the today screen and can not produce the wm6 dialer. Thanks.

[lmcdaniel0910]

i feel rather dumb asking this but can anyone list out the step by step directions on how to install the ROM update. i read the original instructions but I am lost at the mini sd part. is this a file i can just download onto my device directly (treo 750 from AT&T) or do I dl to my PC and activesync????? Furthermore, what was this that I read where someone said to pull out my SIM card and insert my SD? Sorry for all the questions but I am new to this and I want to make sure I do it right.

[summiter]

Hi lmcdaniel -

Your SIM is not involved in flashing the ROM.

Here is the process:

Download the cheeimg.nbh file to your PC

Ensure your memory card is formatted FAT32 and has at least 85 megabytes free

Copy the cheeimg.nbh file over to the memory card, either with a card reader on your PC, or if your device is connected via Activesync, you will be able to see the memory card as a drive on your PC

Insert said card into your Treo it's not already

Hold the PTT button (the button below volume down on the left side) while pressing the soft reset button with your stylus

Follow the onscreen prompts

You WILL lose any data, including contacts, call history, and calendar entries

Hope that helps..post back here and let us know how you get along.

thanks summiter...dop i need to pull out my sim card? also i do not have a card reader for my pc...can i check format and change it if necessary while activesyncing??????? again, thank you.

[summiter]

You can leave the SIM in place - it has nothing to do with the upgrade.

You should be able to check the filesystem format and copy the file over with your device plugged in to your PC. Establish an Activesync session - and you should then see the Treo and it's memory card as mounted "drives" when you click on My Computer. If you click on Properties on the memory card it will tell you what filesystem it is formatted with.

Is there a currently working link for the dl?

Anyone find a fix for this yet? I see a couple others are having the same problem a few posts up.

Thanks :)

[kuruptnation]

Just for reference, I hard reset and it fixed the problem.

I dont know what I installed that caused it but here is what I did.

Installed tcpmp and the windows media audio codecs.

Installed resco explorer, today plugin and ftp plugin.

and applied the dial pad hack. I think that is what may have caused it. Cause is when I noticed it.

I'm trying to play some .wma videos and it's saying I don't have the audio or video codecs for windows media. Thanks

It also looks as if this week they might release the official WM6 update, so we won't have to deal with this leaked ROM much longer I hope. Though I've had no problems, it would be nice to be on the final release.

I noticed that Windows Live will very seldom update automatically. I have it set to sync when emails arrive but most of the times I have to manually send/receive if I want to get messages for my hotmail account. Anyone else is experiencing same problem? I didn’t have these issues with wm5.

[PsyberEMT]

Not sure how many have tried A2DP with the WM6 upgrade but all I can say is wow. The BitPool settings and whatnot are all the same as they were in WM5, save the fact that JointStereo was now set to 0 instead of 1. I upped the bitpool to 48 and must say that this is the best sounding A2DP device I've used yet, and my old Moto Q was hard to beat. Neither my AT&T 8525 (Tytn), Blackberry, or older (this is my 2nd) Treo 750 came anywhere close to this quality, also seems to be able to "handle" playing the MP3s via BT much more easily than WM5, even with the Q it would skip stutter and hang as I tried to use the device while playing MP3s, now even playing a 244kbps MP3, the device is still well useable. WoW!

[PsyberEMT]

Another interesting tidbit. My HS820 (A2DP headphones) work just fine with BT VC, but I cant get my JawBone or HF850 car kit to work with it properly. Anyone tried the patch for the TyTn on the 750? Gonna try it after work but just thought I'd see if anyone else had to save myself the trouble.

[RF9]

Something not clear on your post. Joint Stereo is set to 0 by default. Are you saying it should be 1 to enable joint stereo or remain at 0 for joint stereo?

I just upgraded today and so far everything works. I previously had problems loosing my ring and notifications and had applied the patch from Palm. Will that be needed with the new ROM or is it a wait and see?

[kuruptnation]

Just for reference, I hard reset and it fixed the problem.

I dont know what I installed that caused it but here is what I did.

Installed tcpmp and the windows media audio codecs.

Installed resco explorer, today plugin and ftp plugin.

and applied the dial pad hack. I think that is what may have caused it. Cause is when I noticed it.

Just cause I'm curious, has anyone had any trouble installing the hack for the dialpad. Im reluctant to try again since I dont want to have to hard reset it again to fix it :(

[kuruptnation]

Ok, Im going to apologise for spaming :D

But I went ahead and tried the hacked dialpad again as in this thread: http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=139355&page=2

And again it wouldnt ring for incoming calls.

But I found a fix :D

All you do is change:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0]
"Sound"="*vibrate*" or "none"
"Script"="a"

to:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0]
"Sound"="To the path containing your ringtone ie my ringtones etc"
"Script"="apw3r"


Then soft-reset or turn off the screen for 10 secs or so. And now Im getting ringing AND the new dialpad which in my opinion is much better the palms offering.

-EDIT

BTW Just messing around I learned that you cant change your ringtone or it wont ring again. Or else you have to go through that process again. Anyone find a fool-proof way? It seems to be fine if you set ringtones to numbers. :/

I have a Treo 750 with wm6. I followed the link above and changed the registry value:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled] from 1 to 0.

I did a soft reset. The wm6 dialpad worked for one call. On the second call it started out using the wm6 dialpad, after 2 seconds, it switches to the palm dialpad. The wm6 is so much nicer. Any ideas?

BTW, I didn't have any issue with incoming calls so I did not make any changes to the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0] registry value.

[kuruptnation]

Yeah, it's doing what you described to me too. Is there a method that anyone knows of that will force it to use the wm6's dialpad permanently? Or is Palm's pad something they have hard coded to use all the time?

[frozenwaffles]

ok so i have had my device clear its exchange sync partnership twice now. not sure why but i hope it is fixed in the official rom...

[medenblik]

I can't get it to work either.

How has anyone got the WM6 dial pad to work consistently?

[stack697]

Does anyone has test the sound of Hardware Button? Because when I type something with the keyboard and the tap sound is come out slowest than it should be, it sound strange when you hear double tap sound at same time. When I was using WM5 it didn't happen. Because I like to type with that sound, it feel like typing in machine type. And how to solve that problem? Thanx :(

I have the same problem, the hardware tap sound seems a fraction of a second slower every other hardware key press, can really hear it when when typing fast or scolling the contact list.
Have not found a fix or too many other people with this same problem?
So I just turned off my hardware sound setting for the time being.
Anyone else have this issue?

[PDADoc]

My upgrade went very smoothly, and I've been running it for about five days with no REAL problems, although I've noticed two very minor things:

one, the touch screen isn't as sensitive as it used to be, though it's by no means dead, just less sensitive, particularly when I'm in TomTom. And two, in the past, whenever I would turn my device on and the owner information would show, I could close it by pressing the OK button, but I can't do that anymore. FWIW, though, this might just be a WM6 thing, as I've noticed that I can't do it on my 8525 either.

Overall, it's added new life to my Treo and I'm very happy I've done the upgrade. My next step is to research how to remove all the AT&T-branded stuff to give my a little more storage space, or pray that someone does it and posts the ROM (like vp3G did with the 8525!).

One last thing: After reading and reading through the thread(s), I see that some people claimed to have gotten hidelogo.cab working, but I have not had any luck there. Is there anyone out there who has managed to get it working that could give me a couple of tips or a workaround? Any assistance is appreciated!

[ghettopops]

Sorry if these 2 questions are repeats but.....

1. My phone(green button) no longer works, any fixes?
2. My end(Red button) no longer locks the device, any fixes?


Thank you all in advance.

[sevet]

I have mixed feeling regarding the WM6 on the Treo 750

All previouse problems gone: Always get ring sound, the SD never disconnects...
Also I now can't leave with out the internet connection sharing.

The device locked up ALOT i found out its the activesync, I have about 150 contacts with about 20 with pictures and about 300 synced schedualed events, plus not too many mails,

Activesync works really slow and slows down the entire device when active, sometime it freezes the device, I used to find that it is stuck, so I changed the activesync to manual schdule and since then 4 days without soft reset.
I used to sync every 15 minutes and not "as items arrive" to preserve battary.

I also have a problem with iGO gps software that loads compresses, I think I pinpointed this problem to a GAPI problem, I started MorphGear and used manul driver, when GDI and raw framebuffer the display is ok, with GAPI the screen is compressed like in iGO,

Any chance its possible to get old GAPI drivers from the WM5 Treo 750? which are the files controlling GAPI?

[lingalan]

After a few days playing with WM6, I got these:

Bad:
1. Sometimes completely hang, need to soft reset.
2. Ram used to much for a fresh machine
3. Old version CE-Star crashed the WLM, need to use a new version, however Palm Asia still not yet release the newest verion of OEM CE-Star
4. Always ask me if I want to see the photo in my SD after I restart the machine.
5. No VoIP Phone embedded (Y?!)
6. No WLM embedded

Good:
1. I love the at&t theme, cooler than the Vodafone one
2. More stable than WM5

One last thing: After reading and reading through the thread(s), I see that some people claimed to have gotten hidelogo.cab working, but I have not had any luck there. Is there anyone out there who has managed to get it working that could give me a couple of tips or a workaround? Any assistance is appreciated!

What I had to do was hard reset and make sure hidelogo.cab is the first thing I do. Also I noticed that I couldn't have the HTC X-Button installed because it was conflicting it somehow. If you need a simple task manager I use inclose.

[jbcross]

If my memory is correct hide logo needs to be the last thing - moved down to the bottom of the list on the pref. listing of the today items. Also I have v 1.0 of the x pgm working just fine. happy to post the cab if it is needed.

My only issue is that my 750 keeps going in No service, I have to turn the phone program off and then on or soft reset the device. I may hard reset my device to fresh WM6 tonight

Does anybody know how to solve this?

Until now, no other problems.

I would like to know the same thing. I found the Cingular ROM but not the ATT.

I don't think that there is an ATT downgrade Rom, just the Cingular one.

[qwikndrty]

This is what I've discovered with WM6 750v ROM:

When placing a call, a white today window pops up on the today screen displaying the number, duration etc. (Active Call?). However, the scroll bar on the right side is also displayed cutting off part of the white window. I've tried removing some of my "today items" so when the white "active call" window pops up it has enough room to "pop out", but that doesn't help either. I also tried unchecking the "Active Call" feature, but any calls I make or receive never brings me to a dial pad or anything!, meaning I have no control over the call (enable speaker, hang up, etc). :confused:

If I keep "Active Call" enabled, but uncheck "Dial Lookup", the "Active Call" window is even worse--now during a call, half the bottom plus the right scroll bar take up the majority of the white window. :eek:

So now I'm forced having both "Active Call" and "Dial Lookup" enabled so I can at least use the phone. :(

Sorry to ramble, but has anyone else experienced this? I've searched through 90% of the discussions on the Treo 750 here and via Google, but haven't found anything conclusive. Maybe just a hack to reduce the scroll bar size is all I need :confused:

[guywithahobby]

I see where some people are seeing the dialer pad incorporated into WM6 which I prefer over this klunky dialer built-in.

I got rid of other AT&T software by unlocking the rom extension and deleting.

Phone functions fine but I can't seem to get rid of the dialer and still have the Green Send Button launch the WM6 dialer AP.

I've disabled in the today screen the hidded startups as well and then the green button becomes totally nonfunctional.

Anyhelp getting rid of the TREO/AT&T dialer so I can use the standard WM6 I would greatly appreciate it.

Nice Fast Phone with fantastic available memory. I'm running everything off main memory that I used to push into my SD cards.

Screen is soft but a nice phone.

I just moved out of a HTC Touch and the screen on the touch was crisp and clearer than anyone I used. They just did not have 3G and I wanted the faster rate.

HELP!!!! How do I get rid of the built-in dialer and use the WM6 dialer!!

[amberzombie]

WM6 works great for me. i'm not a power user like some of you guys are... i mainly use it just to get my emails, make calls, and use Tomtom.

my only gripe about it is that now it seems to take a tad longer to load up word and excel documents. it used to be really zippy on WM5 but not so on WM6... even on a small document.

does anyone have that problem too?

[tmknight]

I'll start. Anybody know of another cab file to get rid of the logo with bluetooth? hidelogo.cab no longer works. When I install it and activate it, I get an endless loop of soft resets.

Another thing that's going on is everytime I soft reset, it shows that I have a voicemail, and it only goes away when I check it, even though I have no messages.

Works fine for me (both ATT and Vodafone), it MUST be installed in main memory.

To that end not a single app I use that previously worked with WM5 has failed to work with WM6.

Cheers

[tmknight]

I noticed that you can now charge the battery via USB

ATT wm5 always could, just took AGES...

[miloszz]

Damn, I have a problem with my "Active call".

When I call someone I don't have this white screen with pic and call time info. I see my today screen. Was looking for Active Call in today settings, but without success :( I have Dial Lookup activated.

The only thing that could cause it (two days ago I hadn't that problem) was playing with htc today plugins (HTC Home and HTC Plus! - none of them was working). I was so stupid to not make bukup before it :(

EDIT:
Maybe someone could send me screenshot of HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Active Call"? I want to check my values...

EDIT2:
I restored old registry backup and it works fine now. I mean Active Call, because other programs have problems ;)

[qwikndrty]

Ok, so what I've come up with so far (and seems to be working ok at the moment) is; I downloaded a registry editor (PHM Registry Edit) and went to

HKLM > System > GWE

and changed the scroll bar values to a smaller number (since I mostly use my Treo with one hand this work well for me)

cxHScr changed to 10 (default is 20)
cxVScr changed to 6 (default is 13)
cyHScr changed to 6 (default is 13)
cyVScr changer to 10 (default is 20)

Those gave me a scroll bar thickness of just about 50% of OEM and I like it. If you're standing still, you can still use the stylus just fine but is tough to use while on the move and almost impossible to use with your finger (fingernail MAYBE?)

You've got to keep in mind these settings also change the volume and PIE bars so beware!

Lastly, I had to soft reset my device before the changes took place but more importantly, I had to wait about 5 minutes before reseting or only one or two of my saved settings actually took place. :eek: I think the phone "auto saves" itself after a bit and not instantly for some reason? I've found this out with pop email as well. I will read a couple of emails, then soft reset (for whatever reason) but as soon as my phone comes back to life those same emails I just read are back in my inbox as new messages :confused: ...so FWIW wait 5 or 10 minutes before soft-reseting.

So anyway, that's what I'm doing until a better option comes up. FYI, I'm using the Vodaphone WM6 ROM so those using the ATT ROM, this may not apply to you at all.

[summiter]

You've run into the peculiar, but by-design, behavior of only flushing registry changes periodically. Registry changes are only written to persistent storage every few minutes or when certain actions take place. A few examples of actions that cause the registry to be immediately written are changing a setting in control panel, installing an app via activesync, and putting the device in standby. Out of habit, after I do a regedit that will require a reset I put the device in standby for about 5 seconds first.

Some apps that do a soft reset also properly call APIs which flush the registry prior to the reset.

Hope that helps shed some light on what you were experiencing.

PS. Unless you just type slow, I find it odd that some entries were flushed and some weren't. =)

Thanks for your reply Vladimir. Now I have another question about the 750, if you have your contacts in the sim and in the phone, how can you filter the dialing list from not showing contacts from the SIM for example and only from the from the phone ? I mean no duplication ?

Thanks :confused:

simplest thing to do is to delete contacts fromthe sim ? i wuldstill have copy in the Phone (smartphone) and Outlook

Yes, I have the same problem with WM6. It's so annoying when typing fairly quick-I just turned off the keyboard taps sound setting altogether.

[alamerican]

first off, i have been running windows mobile 6 on my 750 now for 24 hours and i love it. i am experiencing the common minor issues others have such as ssl not working with exchange, click issue when typing, etc, but I am very, very happy with this over wm5.

ok so here is my issue that i have not seen posted so far. i admit this post is trivial given some of the more important issues posted to this board, but here it is anyway. so in contacts in wm5 my contact pictures in outlook 2003 would be automatically updated to my Treo. that is not happening in wm6.

anyone else experiencing this?

first off all i woud like to thank all you guys for this great site! I just upgraded to WM6 with no hiccups! everything is working great!

It's funny that you mention that, because I was wondering the same thing. While I've not used the remote desktop app before, I have been trying to get it to work, and I also use DynDNS for my domain service. I thought that maybe I was doing something wrong, but now I don't know. I didn't have any problems with WM5.

Hello,

I have a UK Palm Treo 750v. Which WM6 ROM is recommended for use in Australia? I read somewhere in the forum that the 3AU WM6 ROM had a better radio stack?


Cheers,

Chris

[gilmargolin]

how did you perform the rollback?

[idyllic]

Thanks!
I tried the 8525 user agent as well. I found that when you use the BJack user agent the CV site gives you larger fonts. When you use the 8525 it gives you smaller fonts.
I recommend the 8525 UA.

I'll attach a zip file with an 8525 user agent that works on Treo WM6. I've included BJack and Treo 750 also (all 3.)


So I have loaded the agent (the 8525 and then the Black Jack agent) into the registry. Initially Cingular Video DID work. Later, I installed Real Player in an attempt to view a particular set of video files. Unable to play the files, I uninstalled Real Player. Real Player did not uninstall completely so I removed it file by file. Now I get this error:

"The file "Video" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring the file."

I have tried reinstalling Real Player, but that doesn't work. I KNOW I was extremely careful NOT to remove files unless they where in a directory that was associated with Real Player. Any hints on how to fix this?

[other than reloading the ROM]

idyllic

********** NEW INFORMATION:

Apparently AT&T now allows CV to work natively with the Treo 750. I found this out after reloading the WM6 ROM.

[100thMonkey]

So, I noticed that after upgrading from WM 5 to 6 with the ATT WM 6 that windows is no longer able to manage the GPS BT connections well. Specifically, I used to be able to run both Google Maps and Navizon easily, but now not so much even when I have the option checked to have Windows manage the BT GPS connections automatically. Its like Navizon gets GPS for a few minutes, then Google Maps gets it and they switch rather than being able to share simultaneously.

Any thoughts?

[brained]

I am new to treos (coming from a Hermes) and I just upgraded to the 3 Aus WM6 rom. Almost everything works perfectly except the end button no longer actually ends calls anymore. I was wondering if anyone else experienced this problem and I'd appreciate any insight into a solution.
