I'm having the same issue as well (I'm with Sprint).

The only piece of software that worked in WM5 that doesn't work in WM6 is VoiceMinder. That's a huge bummer for me but not a deal breaker.

Does anyone have any ideas for the WIFI (WPA-PSK) issues?
Fixes/patches for this?

A few bugs:

1. sprint rom seems to default in vibrate mode. Even after fussing with the comm manager vibrate button and taking off vibrate, the phone consistently switches back to vibrate on its own. After a soft reset, and more fussing with the comm manager vibrate button, it finally switches to "ringer" mode. If I press "ok" hard button after taking off vibrate to minimize it seems to help. I have HTC task manager set to minimize, not close apps.

2. phone also seems to wake itself up. When charging, the backlight will not stay off. Also, seems to happen when not charging as well. Screen will light up on its own.

3. Can confirm the default backlight time is hard to kill. Keeps going back to the default. (10 seconds? or maybe its 30 -- I like to set it to one minute).

I have these exact issues on the Verizon ROM as well.

Anyone got a fix for the TCPMP Player? When I installed the new ROM it will not play any of my videos! The sound is there but no video. I read somewhere that there are codecs missing. If so, how do I get them back in the ROM? Thanks for any help in advance.

Not really a bug, but how do you remove programs from the Launcher? It seems to have some defaults in there and I'd like to remove them and add my own. Is it in registry or is there a non-registry way to do this?

you fire up resco explorer, go to options, general, and disable those "hide" options.
then, walk to \windows\startup, there you can modify most of them.

Go into Launcher and click the white "X" in the right hand side of the bottom row. That puts on "x" over each icon. Just click the ones you want to delete.

Hope this helps.

Have you searched this thread for WPA-PSK? There is a "Search This Thread" link at the top you may want to try.

For the record, I'm not sure if a fix has been released yet. I did read that someone switched to WEP and it worked fine (WEP is definitely less secure than WPA though...)
