Lets get a head start on B&B 4.0 release issues

[imstill@g]

I have been thinking about this for a while so I will go ahead and get it started. We all know that Tom_Codon is currently working on V 4.0, and as always he will thoroughly test it before release. I thought maybe we could, as a community, come to a conclusion on the fixes for the upcoming rom.
We all know the problems such as
1. Dialerpad not working for redial( green button) different dialerpad fixed
2. Flashing issue that was resolved.
3 HTC plugin going to vibrate during appointments- not a rom problem but an issue
4. Weather for "your town"- not a rom problem but an htc server issue.
We need to get together a complete set list,if you will, of known issues so that these bugs can be worked out before the Rom hits "production".

PLEASE, dont turn this into a request thread. Lets make an effort as a community to help Tom, put out the best Rom of his ability.
I have talked with him recently and he feels that the Touchflo is working flawlessly, but this is going to be a completely new build, from a new version of windows 6. So there MUST be some test time
I think as a group we can pitch in and give some targets to look at, via our experiences with 3.7

On another note, many people have donated to Tom, but the truth of the matter is more have not. I understand that times are hard, for some, harder for others, but we should look at it like this, If Tom wasnt doing what he was doing, along with others like him(none have released anything as complex and mature as Toms) werent doing what they are doing, you would already be in the market for another ppc, some, like here in America, having to pay upwards of $550.00 like myself.

Some of us appreciate the hard work of others and are willing to cough up $ without much proding, while others just download and go. I myself am guilty of such actions, I mean I do have and have had a usenet account for about 3 years, and have used bit torrent since it was in command prompt days(bit commet anyone) but I do recognize hard work and a love for what one is doing, so please make Tom feel your appreciation, this guy is having to go way out of his way to do research for us, due to internet issues, so please donate to Tom's work. Drink one less caramel mociado,beer or coke for that matter and send some $.
Back on topic.
Please help by posting any known issues with 3.7 so 4.0 can be tested properly, Thanks.

I agree with 1 to 4 in the previous post, also, the dialer writes text in green, this is very hard to see and suggest changing to white text.

5. Dialer text changed to WHITE for easier reading

[palmbluetooth]

First of all Congrats to Tom for making the bes PPC a million times better.
I had some issues, besides the redial button some programs crash my machine, for example yahoo go 2 and others.
Also the machine sometimes restarts itself with programs like tomtom and google.
Thanks for all your hard work!!!!!

[imstill@g]

5 good point, I am sure that will or has been changed already
yahoo go... what others, lets try to make a thorough list

[Insane Devil]

6. Inclusion of TouchFlo cab

(The dialpad was really a big issue in my friend's phone i upgraded, so had to go back to B&B 3.0)

Thanks for all ur great efforts Tom!

[m@rco]

I fully agree with post 1.

The only thing that is not working for me is the camera.
Gpsphoto is not working for me. Gps is not turning on.

And the colors of dailpad. They are now green but difficult to read.
White is much better.

For the rest it runs perfect.

But please Tom take your time.

And guys the rom is for free so donate to Tom. Mobile Telco's have to pay Microsoft for this update. And we get this for free.

I haven't donated as well but i will this week.

[TheOnly1]

There is a workaround for GPS Photo. Just change to main memory as storage. Then restart the camera and off you go :) Nasty thing is that you have to do this every time you want GPS photo. It's a ROM issue and has nothing to do with Tom ;)

Hi all,
my only (not so big) problem in B&B 3.7 that I wonder to be solved in the new version is the camera delay problem, when I push the button it takes about 3-4s for the camera to take te photo.
The other issue is pics destination folder. My old ROM saves the photos to \storage card\my docs\my picture, that was very nice, this new camera saves the photos to a specific folder, it's not a big problem, just annoying...:)
By the way the B&B 3.7 is the best rom what I've ever tried, so Tom, appreciate your work...;)

[traxer]

Hi!

I don't know if I'm the only one, but when I desactivate the WM5storage apps by clicking on "desactivate", it runs TOMTOM automaticaly!
It can be a bug...

@++

TraXer.

[sandoval]

Taking a picture in 3.7 takes about 3 seconds.. Still can't fix that..

[Dr. Elch]

Hi @all,

the B&B 3.7 is the best ROM i ever had. Thanks to Tom. :o

I've an issue with the Wi-Fi start/stop.
I can start and stop Wi-Fi with the comm Manager but if I start Wi-Fi I could not stop Wi-Fi over the Wi-Fi icon on the Headerbar.

Normaly there is a link if you click on the icon [Turn on Wi-Fi] if its off and [Turn off Wi-Fi] if its on.
I have always [Turn on Wi-Fi]... also if its on and if i click, nothing effects.

I don't know if someone else solve this problem and if its a bug.

Cheers

Hi@ll,

First of all, i would like to express my eternal gratitude for tom who is doing a great work. People like you makes the community better and better.

I have another issue:

when using de X-Button, the rest of icons of the heather bar doesn't show properly. The signal power of the operator displays only left half and he volume icon doesn't show.

[opera]

make a contact picture also does not work: not file is saved after shotting

[MicTh]

I agree with you and i would like to donate to tom. But i need account information, i don´t use paypal.

However i have not been abel to use Tom´s 3.7 ROM at all. No problem flashing it but my sound on bouth, my HTC P3300 goes balistic (like if my botton was stock)..

This has happend everytime i tryid this ROM and i tryid it on my too. P3300 and my body´s too..

So i haven´t realy enjoyed the ROM at all.. just tryid it and shiftet to the new WW3.7 Original (which works flawless on my phones)


.... but still i would like to support the great work and research Tom is doing.. Please make it possible by posting som account information so i can transfer a donation to you Tom :)

[soardiac]

i only tried 3.7 for a short time because i had the battery drain problem, and the redialing problem was getting on my nerves.

however, there were 2 problems (or 2 times the same) that i also have in v3.0 (german version):
wlan and gps connections cant be deactivated using the taskbar icon. the "bubble" always says "no connection".
for wlan, i use connection manager to disconnect. that works perfectly. to stop a gprs connection however, i have to switch to flight mode and back...so:

7. (or whatever) would be nice to have a more confortable way of disconnecting gprs than using flight mode...

[morpheustfw]

to stop a gprs connection however, i have to switch to flight mode and back...so:
I haved the same problem ;) but after looking close all the app (like msn messenger) who use Gprs Data and with com manager you can stop it ^^

[tristan_2468]

I have a couple of issues with 3.7, and I don't think I have read about them anywhere else.

Firstly, this may be a problem with the Comm manager. Sometimes I turn the phone to "off" in Comm. Manager, and then when I click again to turn it "On", nothing happens - the code lock keypad is supposed to show but nothing happens at all and I have to soft reset.

Secondly, after a soft reset, MSN contacts do not appear in the list when you login, and you must chage accounts to see them again

I also had the more common problems with green button and HTC home screen vibrate mode.

Also would it be possible for us to have Windows Update inlcuded in the ROM?

Excellent ROM though by the way! Will be donating very soon!!!

yeah, you are right. i just tested what you said, and indeed: the "Datenverbindung" button in comm manager (i got german version) will eventually light up when i switch to conn manager and a gprs connection is active. but it takes something between 3 and 10 seconds for that button to light up. that's why i never saw it.
but waiting for the button to light up then clicking it will indeed cancel the gprs connection. i am cool with that. thx for the hint.

[paman]

Actually this started as a B&B 4.0 issues thread...
but i really would like to thank the person who open it because i had the opportunity to see all the bugs of previous versions in one place....

Thanks again...

Many thanks to Tom as well for his effort..
Looking forward for v 4.0

[imstill@g]

I believe we are on the right track, but I feel some of theres issues are problems do to the base OS..I will later update my most and include a pool to see where we stand as far as how may people are experiening these situation.

[bex]

imstill@g:

I think it would be best if you could update the numbering list that you started, I added with 5. but then it got sidetracked a bit in the thread. A definitive BUG list would go a long way to helping Tom produce a superior ROM for us all.

Lets maintain the numbering guys and please leave out requests for ROM features.

This bug also exists in my original O2-Rom (seems to be a standard WM 6-bug) so Tom is not to blame for this.

Waiting for 4.0 (will be the first Rom I flash on my Orbit - will there be a possibility to return to my old O2-Rom - just in case it doesn´t suit me?)

sorry but that doen't work in v3.7. i don't get this memory option anymore in v3.7.it worked in previous versions but not in v3.7.

so 2 things on my wishlist:)
-the gps photo problem (so damn cool when i go on holiday)
- and i like a NEW button (right under on the screen)when i want to write a new sms/mms instead of going to ...menu --> new sms/mms.

these 2 things are essential for me, otherwise i have to go back to v3.0

thanks Tom

Just download the orig. ROM from the o2-Website... available for almost 3 days now ;-)

I'm also waiting for the 4.0 for my first flashing... but there is no orig. German WM6 online yet. I will have to keep my fingers crossed ;-)

[zsitvayb]

Hi guys,
I've discovered a new bug. I've correct time zone settings (GMT +1), but when I received an SMS at 17:20 the pda displayed that the message was received in the future at 18:20. :)
Does anyone have a similar problem or just I have?

[akismal]

It would be nice if in the new B&B 4.0, Tom could add the option to reset the call counters for incoming and outgoing calls

[Dilop]

I am using B&B3.7 for a week now, i am very pleased with it. I got just a few point/idea's...the green color when you are going to call someone is not readable when you are outside (the sun is shining here \o/).
And with my orginal rom i used SPB PocketPlus where are a nice feature which select what kind of function do you have for your buttons. One of those functions was device lock..i really miss that @ this version :(
Another point..which i alreay missed @ my orginel rom (t-mobile) was to apply a mp3 sound when you are getting a new SMS..because the standard sounds really annoy's me :P
But i dont wanna sound negative..i really enjoy this version!

Just copy your mp3s into your windows directory for sound
Been real busy
When I get a chance I will consolidate the issues with 3.7 and bring them to Tom's attention.
4.0 is very very close to release... I just have that feeling. I know we will be amazed


PLEASE DONT LET THE DONATIONS GO STALE. This guy is working day and night on this Rom,
I GIVE YOU MY WORD THAT YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED WITH 4.0

[redski]

LARGER PHOTOS in dialer!

[mode80]

I have an issue when creating a new SMS or Mail Message. When in Messaging and creating a new message, the screen switches to the Today screen. Often it switches right back to the Compose part of the new message, but sometimes it doesn't.

Anyone else experienced this?

Thanks again for a great ROM.

[biou]

htc will not allow any touchflo like roms be released by third party. rumor to be confirmed

confirmed... it IS a WM6 bug... not tom's bug.

[arizhasan]

two issues that i realised
1. agree with the dialer issue, but i changed it to wizard re-touch dialer and it seems to be okay.
2. transcriber is missing in this rom. i dunno how many of you guys use it, but i did quite a lot.

[petervbeck]

You can use WM5NewMenu to create your own menu..: http://www.pdagold.com/software/detail.asp?s=1178

[arizhasan]

installed calligrapher 8.5 last night, and i think the transcriber issue is resolved now.B&B does'nt has transcriber, but now am not bothered, using calligrapher now.
