Well maybe not quite 28 days but I loaded the WM6 pretty soon after it was available. I had some battery life and processor speed problems at first (as I posted a few weeks ago) and was considering returning to my last Phoenix C&S but decided to just do a clean install again. Stangest thing, it did actually run better after a second install. ?? I have not added any software except for VTap and I have not altered many of the settings in HTC. I have no problems with AD2P, my WAP-PSK acutally works (??) and my power consumption is a little better. I soft reset maybe a couple of times per week and it is still slower than with the old ROM but not to a degree that it problematic. I do not have 911 still.

Since I use my ppc6700 pretty much as an entainment and email tool, I am really happy. I am looking forward to a Serivce Pack that is in development elsewhere on this site. Of course I really look foward to a Kitchen.

Great work folks!

Don't know if anyone has asked this already but i'm having an issue with the text messaging on my Sprint PPC 6700. When i receive a text message, the first word of the messages shows up in the "From" field. The rest of the text message is in the body. Fore example: if the text message were to say "Hi how are you" if would show up in my inbox like...

From: Hi
Body: how are you.

There is no way of me telling who the text is from unless they sent a callback number with it. Has anyone else had this problem? any workarounds?

Thanks in advance.

MFAO!

@legarland: Well known issue. Read a little. If you don't like the option of reading through the thread, search a little.

I've been using WM6 since the day it came out, and over-all, i'm quite impressed. One issue I did come across was that when replying to emails or text messages, periodically, it'll cut off half the screen, making it all white. I can still type, and it goes through, i just can't see what I'm typing. It's not huge, but kind of irritating. Sometimes if I close the slider and re-open it, switching to portrait then back to landscape, it will fix it.

I did a bit of searching, with no results that I could identify, though I'm not entirely sure what I should be searching for. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'm not sure why this happens though. I saw a dropoff when I went to the 1.41 radio and then again with WM6. I do notice that this OS seems to do a lot more stuff in the background. I use a program that monitors opens and closes of programs with sounds and it's much more "chatty" with this ROM than with WM5. Dunno, but that may be part of it.

I bought an 1800ma battery from Verizon and it seems pretty nice -- where can I get this program that monitors opens and closes of programs with sounds?

Also, I have not found the place to make sure that a close gets rid of programs from memory -- most programs seem to do so, but not all, but I was curious more than anything else to verify the setting.

Thanks.

I took the plunge last week and over all I've been pleasantly surprised. The install went without a hitch. I have found an issue however. Due to the fact that you can't password protect your contacts, I have my phone lock at startup and require a password after 30 mins. Any way, If I need to do a soft reset, the password screen locks up intermittedly. (The keyboard icon on the screen does not appear and since I can't type in the password, I'm stuck). After waiting for 5-10 mins sometimes the keyboard loads-allowing me to enter the password, sometimes I need to soft reset muiltiple times before it would appear. I have thus turned off my require a password, and have not had any problems as of yet. Can't wait for the service pack to be released to address the minor glitches.
