This has been happening regularly, but was stable for me on WM5.

This is a result of an issue I posted about in the other thread.
Go into Bluetooth settings from your CommManager; Mode tab. Make sure that the box "Make the device visible to other devices" is checked off. I've found that mine will de-select itself after a profile change or soft reset. But not all the time. Once you know about it, it's easy to fix. And I'm sure that it's an easy fix for the next version of the ROM.

Internet Sharing has worked in all V2 & V3.x WM5 OS's I've used, but I cannot seem to get it working on Helmi's WM6. It worked immediately with the last 3.5 I installed (thanks again colonel), which looked like the same internet sharing software as is used in Helmi's WM6, but it just doesn't seem to work. This is on a Windows XP Pro SP2 machine using the built-in driver "Windows Mobile-based Internet Sharing Device"

It seems to be IP address related. It gets stuck at status "Acquiring network address" then switches to "Limited or no connectivity".

Under Support Details, the connection is assigned an address of 0.0.0.0 or some random 169.254.x.x address.

I obviously don't know how all this works, but it worked before and now it does not - does anyone have any ideas? I'm sure this a novice question to most out there. Any help is greatly appreciated - I need this connection frequently for work.

I just read through this entire bugs/patches thread and I see others with this problem, but no solution (did anyone with this problem find anything?). I have disabled bluetooth and the that improved the speed at which the problem occurred but didn't solve it. I uninstalled the Device in XP and had it reinstall itself with no joy. PLEASE, one of you senior guys, help me out here...

And thanks again to Helmi for his amazing work on WM6. I've been using it for 6 days now and have had to soft-reset only once. AWESOME.

FIXED!

To anyone having issues selecting a new keyboard SIP, try this:

Go to your keyboard options, select the new keyboard (eg: PCM Keyboard), then without exiting out of anything, click on the input changing icon on the bottom taskbar, select PCM Keyboard (or your new method), and it will change. Please note that, for me anyway, when the device turns off (soft reset, etc.), you must go through these steps again to select the new keyboard.

Works great, though! PCM is very sexy and easy to use without sliding the keyboard and using both hands.

Try installng the cab found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271008
This will change your default. So you won't have to go through all those steps after a soft reset. PCM is working great once I used this utility.

Hey this worked for me.
I could not figure out how to get it to work before reading this.

Thanks

Hi, this is my first post ever. So, I hope its in the right place and all.

I've been playing with wm6 and its going well but, activesync is not syncing my notes.

it does about 10 of them and then hangs. I have about 50 notes.

Im going to try a few things and check back with you guys. but is anyone else having the same?

ok , i deleted some weird notes from outlook that had what i believe to be non standard characters in the name ( like slashes and such) did not have a problem with these before. Also turn off advanced networking for usb under connects. now everything did sync ok!! yah!!!

This registry edit no longer works to fix my server configuration (dnscacheenable). Note, it didn't work on 3.3 or 3.5 roms either. See this thread:

Any ideas would be awesome. At this point, I have to reset everytime I walk away from my desk and unplug my phone to clear the dns.

Anyone here notice sort of a freeze/pause period after a soft reset where if you quickly start using WM6, it will lock up or take 10-20 seconds to come "alive?" I've been having to set my phone down and wait approx. 15 seconds after I soft reset to be able to use the phone without it locking up. Nothing major since I don't reset that often, but just curious if anyone else is in this boat with me...

I'm actually having a problem with the phone too i have windows mobile 6 and i receive text messages but it doesnt let me know who its from, anyone else having this problem
