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

[Richard Ward]

Anyone having the same issue I am with trying to set a new keyboard SIP (PCM Keyboard)? I had it set once by playing with <forgotten option here> then doing a soft reset. I had it working for a while, and then another soft reset (thanks, Spb Backup) and now I can't get it to work again...

I have a problem with my bluetooth. after upgrading to wm6, my XV6700 can find or be found by any bluetooth device near it. I have tried to connect it with my SE M600, but it could not find any bluetooth device. When I opened the bluetooth settings, there is no new outgoing port text in com ports tab.

Wow, I was just about to post that I am experiencing the same issue as ming0971. I need bluetooth ports for ActiveSync. Does anyone happen to know if you can create one in the registry?

Hello, The VC Patch does not seem to work on my 6700 it will not announce call id or number thru BT headset. Does any one have this working with patch on jabra bt250v

Hey guys,

I love this rom, only problem I can find is with the weather program in the today menu. I live in Duluth, MN and the closest city in the range is Minneapolis. Is there a quick edit I can do to get weather in the today program for a city like duluth? Or will I need to install a different weather program.?

Thanks guys,
Eric

vc patch opens audio gateway but announcing call is not functioning.

Any ideas what might cause this. I have only installed implus, slingplayer, and Spb Time .

I've seen it twice on my XV6700 with limited Verizon CAB installation and once on an XV6700 without any Verizon extended ROM customizations.

It stinks to redo.

I was having the age-old issue of having SMS sent to those outside of Verizon never being received. The fix for that was easy back in WM5:

change the registry value from "HTC_SMS_PROVIDERS.DLL" to SMS_PROVIDERS.DLL"

Doing that in WM6, now when i go to text anyone, it comes up with an error message "Text message cannot be sent"

I read the fix for threaded SMS on WM6 and it was found that the SMS_PROVIDERS.DLL was changed in some way. I extracted the sms_providers.dll in their .cab installer and simply copied it over the one in \Windows\ through activesync. Now having the reg value as "SMS_PROVIDERS.DLL" will work just fine.


Just to thow it out there, in WM5 all the DLL keys for all the strings under Protocals were "HTC_SMS_PROVIDERS.DLL", but in this WM6 rom, the "Class2" string had a DLL key valued with "SMS_PROVIDERS.DLL"....

The Touch dialer seems to have a few problems including:

911 doesn't work

If someone calls you and you want to ad their number to your contacts, clicking on :Menu - Add to contacts" makes the phone LOCK UP.

I decided to use the original WM6 which dialer doesn't seem to have either of these problems.

To switch to the original WM6 Dialer, just edit the registry:

[HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin] change "Enabled=1" to "Enabled=0"

I did notice, however, that the WM6 dialer seems to be missing the "DELETE" button(Just an empty white rectangle where the buttonshould go, but it does work if you press it). I will search the forums to see if I find a solution for that.

I tried downgrading back to WM5, however anytime i make any changes to the clock in WM5, the next time i soft reset the date/time resets to 12:00am 2/1/2006. I played around with settings and reflashed different roms in my kitchen, getting it as vanilla as possible, however every time I would set the clock, it would reset to that date/time on the next soft reset. If i soft reset without changing the clock settings (ie, the phone would indicate 12:07am), it would reboot retaining the time (ie, booting up indicating 12:08am).

This also happens after the clock automatically updated time through activesync.

I reflashed back to WM6 and it retains clock settings, so it looks like i don't have a choice.
