What happens if you put the phone in flight mode, soft reset while in flight mode, then try to make a usb connection? The reason I ask, is that doing so resolved the "unable to obtain ip address" problem in 3.3 kitchen for me.

understood finster, but this is a different problem now. Note that its not just that i cant get an ip address with this patch. Its that the PPC completely freezez.

Nevertheless I gived it a shot. One problem though. In order to get into and out of flight mode I have to touch the connections page. And that is not a place my little stylus had better get close to w/ this patch. Not unless its hungering to punch itself into the tiny hole at the bottom left..

Snicker.

Not so much. Its actually worse in that now if I access the connection settings in any way, the ppc locks up complety.

However at that time it ALSO locks up the PPC, so no address is given out.

So. This is the right area. We were having significant problems w/ the Bluetooth screens not working right, and having very long delays and then unsuccessful attempts to enable / disable.

However from a practical point of view, its not so good. snicker. You think maybe the registry entries need adjusting?

By the way I used a build straight from IMCokeman here, no mods whatsoever from what he has on our ftp site. just a build, hard reset. hard reset again for "good measure", install cab. Soft reset (forced by the cab install).

then attempt usb, or bluenet adjustments. Either of which fail.

By the way another "interesting" side effect is that whereas the wireless today plugin was showing "sprintpcs" before installing the cab, after the cab, it only shows "Home Service". Seems that maybe some function call is returning "wierd" to the pluggin

hmm... thats because, I included the ms2_usbfn.dll registry in platformxxx.reg... thats for testing...
btw the two file wavedev.dll & mfcce300.dll should fix the bt issue because I've learn the rom core, there was a conflict in ram address, see below:

Wavedev conflicted with intshare at ram address
Ram Address: 01290000
Ram Address: 01291000
Ram Address: 01292000
Ram Address: 01293000
Ram Address: 01294000
Ram Address: 01295000
Ram Address: 01296000


and for mfcce300.dll is conflicted with bthuart.dll at ram address
Ram Address: 01C80000
Ram Address: 01C81000
Ram Address: 01C82000
Ram Address: 01C83000
Ram Address: 01C84000


so theorytically speaking, the two files should fixed some issue with BT and internetsharing if the both function is been use for the same time, since they overlap each other ram memory, sound & Internetsharing or Bluetooth with any app that use mfcce300.dll, or generaly make the system unstable in some function...

the two files it self will fix that, not the registry value that I added to platformxxx.reg for ms2_usbfn.dll... so u might extract the two files from the cab, or remove the platformxxx.reg from the cab.

hmm... I think we need to patch other device driver (ms2_usbfn.dll) hopes that will fix the problem...

[sfaure03]

ok.. so i'll try that.

[finster869]

sfaure03: Any luck after you extracted the files and patched?

[sfaure03]

bluetooth improved. USB not resolved. Attempted to get copy from drivers for mentioned usb dll, but it also did not resolve.

[vboyz103]

I took the plunge and install it on my AKU 3.3. It seems to fix the bluetooth problem I think, because now Bluetooth turns on and off correctly and almost instantly. Whereas, it was very iffy prior to the update.

As far as ActiveSync goes, I can't confirm yet, because prior to update, it seems to connect with PC after I reboot it several times, in which I did today before the update. But I'll keep monitoring to see.

Hi guys pretty new to the forums, anyways I got 2 ppc 6700s, 1 is my main unit the other is my test unit. Thought I could help out. Anyways I installed aku 3.5 and imported the reg folder usbnf from aku 3.3. Didnt work, and had the same problems. Anyways I decided to use software from my Treo 700wx. Its a cab file from the Palm site called USB switch (basically if you have problems conencting through USB). The software switches from serial USB to RNDIS USB connections. I switched the unit to RNDIS and viola! Active sync recognized my 6700!! its starts syncing, it will sync files on my PPC but not calender & contacts. I get an error code from Active sync. Support code:800700c1. Mehh it was worth a shot.. Oddly though since I have installed USB switch and left it on RNDIS USB my test unit is not freezing up??

Tells us it is, indeed, a dll conflict problem.

I'm rolling back to 3.3 though.. See if WMP has issues. I've noted that even w/ a headset under 3.5 the first 30 seconds of WMP skips, just like in bluetooth.
