Apache WM6 CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)

Ok. My input after using this for 12 hours.

1) The Voice Command button issue is back. Setting button 5 for "press" doesn't work. Setting button 5 for "press and hold" then simply pressing the button and releasing it quickly activates Voice Command. I'm pretty certain there was a fix for this, but I didn't have to add it as I assume Helmi, BigJ and the rest had incorporated it into their custom roms.

2) This may have been covered, but I haven't read the entire thread as there's 90 pages. There's not much audible feedback. When launching a program or opening a menu. I'm not talking about the screen taps, but the usual sounds associated with executing applications. Does WM 6 not have this? If it doesn't have it, can we force it to do so? No big deal if not.

Loving it so far Helmi. Thanks again. I hope these weren't redundant observations.

Does anyone use Gmail on their phones and also on Outlook and have a problem with WM6 deleting the emails. On previous versions, as a workaround, you could set the Gmail account so that it only downloaded headers and 999Kb of the message. They removed that option in WM6, you can only choose full message, or message headers only. So, now if you let POutlook check your Gmail and download the message, the next time you send/receive, the messages disappear. Any advice?

Magyoi - You might have the wrong guy. I flashed in Vista flawlessly. There was another guy who couldn't that I responded to.

By the way, Scott speaking of mail reminded me.... I can confirm that this works without a hitch with Outlook Anywhere and Microsoft Push Mail with Exchange 2007.

After the first sync it keeps saying unable to detect USB device.

Try disabling the Advanced Networking feature in Start > Settings > Connections > USB to PC.

Hi folks. When I go into bootloader mode, it says 1.02 (This is a XV6700 Verizon). However, the exe file when I run it gives me an error 150 and says its not the correct ROM updater for the device. I am using VISTA Business if that makes any difference.

Should I try the other one -- any strange consequences if I do that? Any other ideas?

I had this same problem trying to flash it from my Vista Ultimate. I ended up doing it from an XP machine and it went through without a hitch.

OK, I will definitely try that. Thanks.

If all my applications dont work with WM6 can i flash the phone again and go back to WM5? I have the file to do it, but I want to know if the phone will accept it. Anyone know this??

Yes. Just hard reset, get into bootloader, connect to usb, flash with the stock wm5 rom, then hard reset again once complete.
