Apache WM6 Kitchen CE OS 5.2.1908 (Build 18508.0.7.0) 071117_1 Bugs/Patches

[sweh]

Newbie kitchen user here, on Sprint. The build and flash process worked just fine with me. I haven't used WM6 much, yet, but noticed the following oddities. Most of these are probably stock WM6 issues and not anything you can do (but you've impressed me so much that I wouldn't be surprised!) but i'm documenting them for completeness.

Request for enhancement in the kitchen: an indicator as to whether software is freeware/shareware/trialware/commercial.

Possible or actual bugs:

Password bug after reset (the same as other people have mentioned). This is annoying since the phone sometimes (for no reason I can determine) turns on while in the holster. I use a PIN lock just to stop random things from happening.

Slow syncs (again as others have mentioned). I'll try the USB-to-PC change tonight when I get home.

Occasional unexpected power ons when in the holster on my belt. Can't replicate or determine why. Did this a lot with WM5; one of the main reason I'm trying WM6 is to hopefully stop this.

Unexpected data traffic. Can't replicate or determine why. I've found the phone connected to the EVDO network (especially after a soft reset, but also at other times) but the data connection isn't necessarily working.

Communication Manager can't always close the data connection (leads to "spinning circle of frustration"). WM5 was sometimes bad at handling data sessions (especially in weak signal areas like New York Penn Station). This was my other big reason for trying WM6. It's not costing me money, but it wastes battery life (already low).


I'm very impressed with how easy you guys made the process of building new ROMs and flashing them over! This is good work.
