Re: OMJ's HTC Sense 2.5 & 2.1 ROMs | WM 6.5 / WM 6.5.x | 21055 / 21895 / 23557 | 4/13

I haven't posted in a long time because, honestly, this is the best my phone has run since I bought it. But I am finding an odd quirk that I have no idea how to troubleshoot.

I got my wife an iPad a couple weeks ago, and occasionally when we go out to someplace that doesn't have free wifi (which is surprisingly rare these days), I'll just fire up wifisharing on my phone and have her use that.

The problem is that, even after I turn it off, it seems I'm still broadcasting. And strangely, it even persists past a soft reset. We had a power outage and my wife had to reconnect her desktop to our home wireless, and she noticed that wifisharing was broadcasting, even though I didn't have it running (and had even soft reset my phone earlier due to a freeze).

I don't think it actually works unless I'm running the app, but as far as the phone is concerned my wifi radio should is supposed to be off, and it's obviously not. Any ideas?

Weird aside: When this happens, if I try to connect to a wifi network from my phone, it will default to connecting to wifisharing, which just makes my head explode.

Not possible.
You can only assign the long-press send/green-phone key.
Settings;Personal;Buttons- select VoiceCommand. TADA!

Thanks...New to this rom.

I was using Gadget Rom. Liked it but was having freezing issues and couldnt see it in sunlight.
Another question. Do I have to add opera cab, prl update cab, and google maps cab or are they here and I cant find them.

Thanks again

OMJ usually makes a generic rom, and leaves out those items that occasionally require updating or personal preference. You will need to add them ...

I think this is because the wifisharing app uses wifi in ad-hoc mode (peer-to-peer). When windows PCs hook up to other windows PCs in ad-hoc mode, they actually retain the wifi setup for that peer-to-peer setup. They actually broadcast the ad-hoc mode that they are connected to, so they can reconnect directly. That's why you sometimes when you are traveling, you can see Wifi Access points and also some people's wifi pcs. I think the iPad is doing something similar.

It isn't really connected to the wifirouter app, it is broadcasting to try and maintain the connection or so that the wifi router can connect to it.

Anyway.. the way I disconnect the iPad is to go to settings and turn wifi off and then back on again and it stops doing this. Not sure if there is another way around it. The Diamond is definitely not broadcasting anymore though.

Interesting, so when my wife saw the network show up on her desktop, it was actually coming from the iPad and not my phone? Good to know, I guess.

Hopefully some one has an answer to this because otherwise I'm very confused. I just flashed Sense 2.5 2012 | 6.5 | 21895 | v1.1 and everything works fine but... I am unable to save contacts what so ever. Whenever I try to it always saves as <Unamed> and no information that I inputed saves. Any ideas? I tried to search this thread, but didn't find much.

I'm using 23557 w/o Cookie mod cooked in. (I added CAB) My voice dialing does not work now and I don't have an option anywhere to choose it as send button item or even set it up.
Also, I don't seem to have speed dial capability anymore either.
Anyone else have this problem?

Hi Tom and OMJ,
Yeah, I'm having the same problem. I really like the newest rom 23557 but I have lost the Voice Command function and can't find it in setting either. I even loaded 23557 in the kitchen but I couldn't find an option to turn on Voice Control. I'd be very grateful if OMJ or someone could help us out on how to include that capability.
I couldn't get voice search to work on either the new Google Maps or Bing. Other than that, it seems like a great rom.
OMJ, thanks for the great new rom and updated kitchen!
Brad
P.S. I'm reluctant to give up my great legacy plan but most likely going to take the bait and jump on the Evo when it comes out. It's sounds like a fantastic phone but I feel spoiled right now with OMJ's rom and kitchen...like I'll be lost in the dark wilderness of Android when I make the jump....does anyone else have that concern?

Sorry OMJ, but I had to roll back to previous ROM, with Cookie's 1.6.0. Besides losing all voice command capability, I ended up in lock screen hell with a white box that covered the bottom half of the screen, and an unlock button on the bottom that alternated with an unlock button in the top task bar. One would trigger the other and it would never truly unlock. It's a shame. I really liked having all the info visible on the lock screen with just a little slider on the bottom. Please see what you can do with 23557. I've gotta have voice command because cell phone use without a handsfree device is now illegal in Hawaii. (BTW, I got the new Jawbone Icon and it reads the calling number too me, so I can screen calls without looking!)

Once again, Ken, I certainly appreciate all your hard work. It has made my TD very pleasant to use while we all breathlessly wait for the EVO.

it looks like the 23557 sys was missing Voice Command, I'll update the ROM
