I found how to fix it before I was just wondering if anyone had found an alternate method that didn't require another hard reset. Hard resets suck, it takes me the better part of a day to re customize my ppc with all my hacks and load all the programs. Well it's ok, sounds like a project for this weekend. Thanks.

Is there a way to upgrade the sofware in the ROM. Some of the applications such as Resco Explorer have updates, but I don't know a way to upgrade sofware that is in the ROM. I was going to manualy delete the files in the ROM and then just reinstall, auto correcting the keys in the reg. But I couldn't delete the files because they were part of the ROM. The second part worked fine though, I installed the programs just fine, but the old files still exist in the /windows and now they are just useless files taking up space. Anyone have some ideas?

This is just an idea but if the problem is caused by one or more of the extrom programs, have you tried unhiding the extrom (if you haven't already) and clicking on each program except the uninstall hider cab? That would re-install the programs in question and add them to the remove program list (they are removed from that list as part of the automatic setup process). Then you could un-install them from the remove programs list... I would try that before doing a hard reset if you don't want to start over.

Yep, I'm having the same problem with mine especially when using it for SMS.

I have slide sound running so I haven't tried turning that off and using it that way.

you might try that.

The other thing I've noticed is that even before slidesound, when I slid out the keyboard, it lagged just switching views. I vaguely recall seeing something about that, but don't care enough at this point to research it more as I figure some future kitchen will resolve it.

Other than that, no real problems Helmi's WM6.

I have tweaked the reg for BT volume and no SMS sent confirmation.

if you find someone else having the same issue and a res, I'd be interested.

One of the biggest things that causes this lag is the autocorrect/word suggestions. By default it is set to suggest words after one letter is typed, which means that after one letter it is trying to search the dictionary for all the words to suggest, which is ALOT of words. If you change this to 3 or more letters before the suggestion or just turn it off all together it should help out alot.
Slide sound would only affect the transition speed, not the post-transition typing.
Let me know if that helps!

Many thanks... that does seem to speed it up. Still a bit of a lag, but no where near as much.

Thanks again.

Where do I find this setting to change from 1 letter to 3 or more letters? Or turn it off completely?

EDIT: Never mind. Found it in Settings -> Input.

Hi All, I have upgraded to the WM6 ROM and when I run Internet Explorer, the Internet Explorer page loads and then closes so I can't view the Internet. Just wondering if anyone else is having the same issue and or how to possibly correct it. Thanks again Team, really appreciate your help!

I've just installed the wm6 build and have these issues (so far):

1) I have enabled a lock password. After a soft-reset it can take several minutes before I am allowed to enter the lock password even though the prompt is on the screen.

2) Occasionally (3 out of 5 times so far) when I put the device in the cradle activesync will not detect it.

I'm not sure if these are known issues but I don't recall seeing them when I browsed this forum.

TIA
