Apache WM6 CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2) Bugs/Patches

[pdx77]

When viewing a video fullscreen in Windows media player (also MobiTV) the screen doesn't goto landscape mode, so it makes viewing in fullscreen kinda point less. Using CorePlayer it shows just fine.

I love it, but just realized that it doesn't show who's sending the text message... Anyone else?

I am having the same problem with text. I can't reply without searching the name in contacts. That is only if I know who sent me the message. Is there any fix for this? I let the Sprint cusomization run on the initial re-boot. Any help is appreciated

Try using Finger Flick Contact Manager. I have been using it all weekend and text messages work perfectly with this.

After ROM upgrade and adding certain programs had a problem where Activesync would not work with desktop (activesync code:85020006 reported on desktop). Got this working by going into desktop Activesync 4.5 (click on File, Connection Settings) and setting "This computer is connected to:" The Internet (thanks to eskasi at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299558 ).

For Internet Sharing was able to get that working (was timing out/not connecting and saying "Limited or no connectivity") by stopping bluetooth on the PPC (thanks to Sleuth255 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296829 ).

Funny thing is I did not have these problems with the first iteration of adding programs after the ROM upgrade - everything worked OK until adding Opera Mobile beta 8.65b (so I was not surprised PPC hung - screen went blank after heavy usage of Opera and PPC-6700 was Frozen, has to soft reset). After hard reset and backing off to Opera 8.60 public release all was OK, but then had this connecticity problem described above.

Great job Helmi - I suspect there are MS bugs as you would expect, maybe the BT stack used is the problem for Internet Sharing (sounds strange), but suspect a MS bug in ActiveSync with WM6/AS 4.5. I will see if this is a keeper. Kirvin put out a great WM5 AKU 3.5 which seemed cleaner and faster but I'm sure Helmi got the ball rolling for WM6 nicely.

since Kirvin's ROM is just a tweaked version of Helmi's 3.5, you can thank Helmi for that too.

Yeah, the sender name = the first word in the message. Example: If I receive a message that says "Hello there Jeff, how are you doing?" The person the sent the SMS is named "Hello" and If I type Reply, it fills in "Hello" as the recipient. We are not receiving the Text address of the person that is sending the SMS.

When I setup my corporate email using POP3 access, I get the following error:
554 <blank@yahoo.com>: Relay access denied

The following recipients did not recieve the message:
blank@yahoo.com

I have checked all of the email settings and they are correct. The server does not require authorization for outgoing mail, but I tried with and without that setting checked and still had no luck.

I also noticed that there is not a voice dialing feature. This might just be something that MS took out, but I can't imagine why.

Other than that I love this new build I think helmi_C is some kind of PPC God. Thanks for all of the hard work.
