Anybody able to get the alternate DNS server settings to stick? Mine always reverts back to sprints.

My pop email works perfectly. I have reset it a bunch of times with no problems.

Okay, I got this installed everything is great!

I just want my Palm SMS Threaded back, how do I do this? in the instructions it says I souldn't copy the files to the windows dir, But then it won't replace my current text program right?

Just install the cab (no need to copy any files over).

Are you sure you have to do this on the 3.3 rom. Read the readme that came with the palm sms cab file.

2.3 and higher its not nessecary to overwrite those files. I installed palm sms and it seemed to work fine. ( very fast too) 3.3 C E

Which CF is inbedded in the 3.3 rom? Do we need to install CF 2.0, cause i really hate to lose that much space.

I'm not sure which is embedded, but there is a link to a version of 1.1 cab in the main 3.3 thread that is only about 2 megs. Based upon someone's post, I used that rather than net2 in order to get livesearch working. Like others, I am trying to avoid net2....so far so good!

I do not think there is any CF on the ROM. At least as far as I could tell before installing CF2. I will look more into this, but it seems that any of the files that I knew of for CF1 were not present.

Also, can anyone else confirm whether UPXing CF2 corrupts the files. When I did this and inserted it into the ROM, all the apps that needed CF1 worked, but CF2 apps failed to open.

Beware of restoring your contacts,

You need to use activesync. Your Pim.vol file will not import successfully (Symtoms include flashing back and forth from today screen to contacts). This has to due with the pim.vol format. It was changed from 3.2 and lower. Anything with 3.3 you will run into this issue. You may lose voicemail speeddial setting on #1 as well. If you import from outlook via activesync they will import just fine and VM on 1 will survive. All your other speed dials will not be as lucky. Once this is complete you need can successfully push contacts over exchange and no ill side effects with the contacts or speed dials. Bad news is that you lose the speeddials in the end.

A side note, the contacts backup program at xda forums causes the same issues. Well not exactly but the speeddials import and have names but are blank numbers. Just re-enter them from scratch. The nice thing about syncing over active sync is that you can import those holidays that the free exchange mail servers don't implement.

This was experienced on the XV6700. Since this is an issue with the pim.vol format in 3.3+, I would imagine this may pop up more than a few times for our members as well as the other communities.

If anyone knows of a patcher for the pim.vol file or a utility that will convert its compliance to 3.3+ please let us all know.

Note - any users going from an official 2.2 rom or possibly lower will get the flashing contacts if you dont hard reset as this is just a CE image and it doesnt not erase your apps. I noticed resco file ex did the same thing as well. Flashes back to the today screen.

Still there is the pim.vol issue as well as exchange. REMEMBER - Activesync First!!!!

Then return to the wonderful world of exchange PUSH!

So I thought maybe there was something wrong with my install and my POP3 mail so I installed the last sprint upgrade again, then the 3.3 upgrade. Made my POP3 acct. again then soft resetted. Opened up messaging and the same thing happened. My POP3 acct. was deleted. Does anybody know a fix for this? I must have my email........
