Can I go from 6.0 kitchen to 6.1 without a full wipe? Is there some type of upgrade method? I finally got my 6700 working nice and smooth the way I like it and would rather not have to go through all the reconfig again.

If that isn't possible, is there a way for me to save my call history and texts?

No

Yes, flashing a 6.1 ROM

Yeah, but if you want to upgrade...

Yes

I too was having problems with a lag when entering text, especialy after entering the letter I. I corrected the problem by going into Settings>Input>Word Completion. Change the dropdown menu after "Suggest after entering" from After Space, to 3 letters. Change the other dropdown to suggest 2 words. This corrected the problem for me.

No you cannot go from 6.0 to 6.1 without hard reseting your phone which will delete all your contacts, emails, text, mms, etc. A hard reset resets your phone wiping all data stored. So basically you need to download the new kitchen then run a backup program for your info then cook a ROM from the 6.1 kitchen. You will then have to reinstall any programs you had installed post flash (from 6.0)and reconfigure your settings. If you are just wanting the threaded text I believe there is a cab install for it floating around.
If you have the program PIM Backup installed from the 6.0 Kitchen you can use it to backup your call history and ext messages. Unfortunatly the text backup has flaws so It may not work exatcly as you want it to because you will be moving to threaded text. I always delete my text when I upgrade so I am not sure how it will react. I hope that is a better answer than YES.

LOL. You can use something like PIMBackup to save call history, speed dials (this never works for me) & text messages. Then restore after the upgrade.
Contacts & calendar should be synced and then restored when you sync the upgraded device.

You might be able to restore a "loved" config by doing a selective backup/restore with a backup program like Sprite Backup. But I've always ended up reinstalling everything manually and then restoring individual programs from their own backups. Somehow the full restores never seems quite right.

Dang, I didn't type as fast as Ga. Medic!

:sign5: he did not ask how, and the answer's only a quick search away :P

A full restore will rarely work right when moving from one version of windows mobile to the next. Consider yourself lucky if even a partial backup works. As with a PC, your best bet is to reinstall everything when migrating between OS versions.

Hey, I know I've asked the question before (and searched), but no one has really addressed the issues yet.

The Data Connection icon and how it does NOT show idle mode. And, NO, I am not using push e-mail, and everything works fine with the same programs installed on both WM 5.0 and the 6.0 kitchen.

MMS seems to work fine with pics, but movies won't show. It thinks its showing (bar moves across the screen) but no movie. It works this way in the 6.0 kitchen as well. I can save the "object" and then play it in Media Player, but I can not get it to show in the MMS app directly.

My last problem was choppy performance in Media Player with my sync'd Media Center tv shows. The 30 minute files run about 78 megs. They play smooth as silk in the stock 5.0, but the 6.0 and 6.1 kitchens play choppy. I recently up'd the page pool to 12 (I think) in my 6.0 cooked ROM and that seems to have helped.

So, any of you Kitchen Gods have any ideas?

I'd like to try going back to 6.1 but

Yeah, I was not really in any condition to search at the moment as my mental ability was slowed for some off topic reason. Thanks to those that helped.

My shows inactive/disconnected just fine. Also shows disabled/unavailable in flight mode.
You need a codec for that media type. No idea where to get one. If you find one, we'll add it to the kitchen.
By the filesize, I'm guessing you are playing these from SD? Try changing your SD block transfer size.
