Helmi Apache WM6 verizonguy edition (early devel)

[Noir]

let me just say I was using a samsung i730 before I went through 3 replacements and was given an xv6700 for free from verizon and as soon as it came yesterday I installed the WM6 here. The hardest part about the install was getting the thing into boot mode. But once I got into boot mode, everything was flawless. The install was fast! the programming was fast. Everything worked so fast in wm6. I think I soft reset twice and that was because of palm threaded application and the registry tweaks for battery life I performed. You have made me a very happy new xv6700 owner. Big ups to you

I was having a problem connecting to active sync (I use the wireless sync for PIM and emails, but needed the USB connection for file transfers - obviously). I fixed the problem by unchecking the "Enable Advanced Network Functionality" in the 6700 system settings/connections/USB to PC. Hope that helps other. Any insight on what this option is doing would be nice to know.

Try this thread first. It sounds like you are stuck in Bootloader mode.

Try this to isolate things:
Flash devel4 to your phone again and then hard reset. Run it for 2 days without installing anything or putting anything on it other than contacts.

After 2 days, if you have no problems, install 1 application or item to your phone, give it a day, and if still no problems rinse and repeat (add another item) until you start seeing those symptoms again. This should give us an idea of what is causing the problems.

Thanks for the response =)

That's just it, I did the Devel4 upgrade and I haven't installed any applications on the phone at all. I have noticed that it does get just a tad better (response wise by about the 3rd day) but not much.

I'm still having USB issues. it connects, but I can't transfer files over reliably. After a limited amount of data before the USB connection seems to hang. I end up having to reset the 6700 - it thinks it's still connected and can't disconnect (hangs). I wasn't having this issue before and I haven't been able to find any other fixes searching the forums. Thx for any help!

Given no changes to what you install/uninstall, why would a phone change it's performance after a few days. It's not like a mechanical device that 'warms up'. As a network tech, this concept baffles me.

Thanks verizonguy for your hard work!

I'm on Dev 4 after, running 1 & 2. I am no longer getting email notifications from my DEFAULT Outlook/Wireess Sync account. My two (2) pop3 accounts get notifications, as set in the properties. But, the default account attached to Wireless Sync does not. I've done several hard resets & reloaded the release, still no notifications.

Any ideas what's going on? Anyone else experiencing this issue?
