I don't use sprint, but that's strange. It is the same server, so it must be that the dns isn't resolving for some reason. I guess the numeric is the way to go if it works. Is anyone on sprint able to make this work without using the numeric ip address?

I for one have never had a problem using the name. I suspect it's specific DNS servers some Sprint users are being assigned.

Another solution is to use OpenDNS DNS servers for the Sprint connection. I actually had that set up for different reasons in the Sprint ExtROM OEM in previous kitchens... but I reverted it back to use server-assigned DNS addresses in this kitchen to keep things more "stock".

I'm trying to figure out a good way to allow one to choose OpenDNS servers as part of the buildos process--have a few ideas but nothing solid yet. In the meantime I have set the Sprint extrom OEM to use the IP address for now.

Well, I built one without any of my customs and the pages work fine. Thanks for checking guys. I'll do the one at a time thing until I find the prob. Thanks.

It was in my OEM for my reg settings. This was the problem:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
  "MaxRequestThreads"=dword:00000030
  "MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:00000030

That gave me no problems on WM5, but WM6 didn't seem to like it. Sorry for all the posts on the problem.

I think you've got less free memory in WM6... even in WM5 30 request threads would give me problems. Are those set at all in the kitchen? I don't think they are - they weren't in the first rev anyway.

Question: When my Bluetooth is on and my phone rings, the ringer only plays on the headset, rather than the actual handset. How can I fix this?

[kevdawg]

Does the phone screen come up for you guys with this build when you select certain settings or close various windows? Is there a fix for this? I can live with it but it's annoying sometimes.

Edit: FYI I installed the Vogue Dialer

I am guessing that your bluetooth headset is also engaged in wireless stereo headset mode. this forces reproduction of the device sounds into the headset. turn off the stereo headset mode and then the phone will ring normal.

After I load my rom, do a hard reset, come up to the Calibration page. I select US Eastern (gmt-5). The time on the clock is correct. However, if I create any files or folders they are timestamped at GMT. I also have an app that just logs an entry to a file with the current time, it also shows GMT. I am not doing any time zone settings in the oemizer.

I've been using the latest version since it's release.
Love it except for one issue:

The only issue I've hit so far is that while everything else on the phone works... at times (intermittently) "Messaging" won't open. (either from the HTC home shortcut, from Start menu, or even from hitting the icon in explorer). Weird. A soft-reset makes it work again.

Add that to the glitch list.
Other than that.... this version rocks for me.
