Helmi Apache WM6 verizonguy edition (early devel)

[Rosewood99]

The WM splash screen locked up on me as well while on the original Helmi version... in fact, that is why I came back to the boards today. Hope this info helps you debug...

Was using Helmi's version for about 2 weeks pretty smoothly with the same typical little hiccups as found elsewhere on the boards. Only additional app installed was Warring Nations demo. Had about 80% battery power. I was playing Pocket Suduko on Very Hard and while generating a new grid and it seemed to have hard locked the whole phone (waited about 15 minutes). Did a soft reset (with stylus) and the phone would never get past the splash screen. Tried removing battery pack, soft resets, etc. I did notice though that just letting the phone sit there, the screen would go black like a normal sleep state and the screen would come back on when I hit the power button. Since I am in a bad cell area, the Verizon service is continuously connecting and disconnecting and it would still give me the audible notification of those connects/disconnects. So that tells me it had to be running somewhat properly in the background, it just wouldn't close the splash screen. Unfortunately I didn't think of trying to call the phone until after I did a hard reset.

I will download devel2 now and let you know if it happens again.

Thanks for all the hard work!

I installed the Dev2 Rom Sunday. No soft or hrd reboots since then until a few minutes ago. I installed a Bluetooth Stereo headset. For some reason the phone had lost the SD card with my music. Ejected and reseated the card... no dice. Decided I would try the soft reboot, using the application, not the stylus, and... Green Screen Lock. I was not running the HTC Home screen, and the only extra App was the Chi-Tai Battery status application (which I will leave off for now). Any thoughts on the cause of this?
Thanks!

Hey, verizonguy - Glad to see that you're back and cranking out the great ROMs again!

I'd love to try out your latest dev ROM, but I had Outlook 2003 syncing issues with Helmi_c's WM6 image. WM6 (or Office Mobile 2007) had a problem where updated/added Contacts and appointments would not be transferred to the other device. (I missed a meeting because of this).

Do you know if any of your registry hacks / updates have addressed the syncing issue?

Cheers!

Yes I had that happen on 2 seperate 6700's. It tends to be intermittent, and will go back to normal eventually. You can try and return it to the store, they will exchange it.

Already found the solution to the problem (l read an article in this forum of the friend Luv2chill, of the topic After rom install-help!!!! .. volume is gone!!!) in which he was explaining a problem that the XV6700 presents. Apparently, when much uses the headset with this telephone and updates (the truth I don't know the technical reason, but I give them the empirical solution, thanks Luv2chill) the sound hardware is blocked, only working the headset. The solution for it (as I say to them, empirical enough, but effective), is to reproduce a long sound (like of a minute or more) and to introduce and to extract several times (as approximately 5 to 10 times) the headset, until sound is listened again in the speaker.

Is the new Office 2007 support built into this ROM, or will it be in future versions?
