Bearable... just barely.

Hi all. I'm having real mixed reviews with this WM6 ROM. Granted, it's cooler than a snowman's butt. Yet, I am having some issues with programs that I need. Maybe someone can help me out.

(Just a note: I had Kirvin's latest ROM before installing Helmi_C's WM6. Had these initial issues, so I reinstalled Sprint's 2.06 WWE ROM, then upgraded to Helmi_C's WM6. Same issues. Although it did fix my wi-fi issue and Bluetooth PAN issue.

1. Call announcement over Bluetooth. Seems to be an ongoing problem. I have MSVC 1.6 and IDTransfer 1.03. Still, no announcement of the callers.

2. Cannot connect to SlingMobile. All settings are correct. Don't know why. Others have been successful.

3. Wi-Fi issue (Fixed by reinstalling original Sprint ROM, then upgrading to WM6)

4. Bluetooth PAN (Fixed by reinstalling original Sprint ROM, then upgrading to WM6)

5. Random Bluetooth disconnect (problem carried over from other cooked ROMs)

6. Can't delete junk ROM files from Extended ROM. Always comes back after a soft reset.

7. Can send MMS, but when receiving, it comes in as a TEXT message. When following the URL link, the picture/video isn't visable. I have to copy/paste to an email and email myself, so I can get the link off my phone.

8. Not showing who's texting me.... real annoying.

Other than that.... the ROM is awesome. I can almost live with these issues. can't wait for a kitchen version. That oughta be GREAT!

Thanks Helmi_C... a GOD in your own right!

Bug:

As previously mentioned, Internet Sharing does not work properly on the current Apache WM6 image if Bluetooth is enabled. The PC will not acquire a valid IP address.

As a work-around, Bluetooth can be disabled when establishing the initial Internet Sharing connection. I have found that if the Apache is not rebooted, subsequent Internet Sharing connections can occasionally be made without disabling Bluetooth, but it is not consistent.

Anybody else experiencing this??
It seems that mine loses alignment as the day progresses. I had thought it was the screen protector that I had on it, but seems to be just fine once I realign it. havent noticed to many posts about it but it has been consistent since running WM6.

*update* It turns out that my screen is starting to get a dead spot in the middle of the screen. I noticed this one night on Pocket sands. I tried to draw a straight line of something and when it hits that spot it goes all over the place around it but not in the middle. It does the same thing when using the on screen keyboard too. I flashed back to the standard sprint rom and rtn'd the phone and was still having the same issue.

No alignment issues here. Everything except for MMS (Alltel) works great.

HTC HOME Plug-In

I was just about to downgrade because I was having to Hard Reset at least twice a day. But I decided to disable the HTC Home Plug-In and see what happens.

Since disabling - I have not had any hang ups on the Boot Screen requiring a Hard Reset (2 days). And the device seems to be running even smoother - which I did not think was possible.

So it looks like the HTC Home Plug-In may be the problem with hanging and need for Hard Resets.

Sucks though, I really like that HTC Home. Need a good stable alternative.

Again - thank you to Helmi_c, luv2chill, colonel and everyone else who has worked to make our devices and this site amazing!

Fix for home plug in lock up

Here's a fix that's a whole lot easier than hard resetting.

Find a safe mode program.
This one works great!
http://www.monocube.com/content/view/5/37/

It's Safe Mode 2.

You can set it to start in safe mode if it ran for less than 30 seconds or so.
Then go to today settings, uncheck home plug and restart. Then re enable the home thing.

Works great!
I decided to do that after my second or third hard reset. Now gone for over 2 weeks, and still going great.

Erik

Believe it or not, I've read this entire thread, as well as the entire WM6 thread by Helmli (thanks!).

As has been posted before, the fix for the phone returning to vibrate automagically is to remove the profile tab from the HTC home plugin using the customizer here:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=6355

However, I am stumped by something basic, here:

1. Which tab is 'profile'? The tabs I see are home, 'favorite people', weather, launcher, music and sound. These are represented, as I understand it, by the numbers 1 - 6 in the customizer.

2. How do you remove the tab? The HTC Home customizer has two options categories, "HTC Options" and "Optoins". The only tab function I see is "Tab Order" under "HTC Options". Is this where you go to remove a tab? How do you remove one and which of the above is the 'profile' tab?

Thanks all!

edit-
I have seen this mentioned elsewhere, but cannot recall if it is in this thread - on another apparent bug (Verizon):

The phone will attempt and fail at a data connect (#777) through the cellular network while it is cradled with Activesync. This call will fail (error code 37) and the phone will then go into a loop of trying to dial and displaying the error continuously. A soft reset is required to clear it up.
