I have one question - Since installing, when I go to close out of a program the program will close but then right behind it (if I have contacts open) the contacts page will pop up and I have to close out of that as well.

I have seen the fix for the phone app popping up but I have not seen this posted.

I can live with it but if anyone knows of a fix I would appreciate it.

The phone app fix is stickied to the top of the Vogue Forum...and has been referenced 10+ times in this thread

Please read the posts before you post!!!!!

I completely understand that the PHONE APP has been addressed several times in this thread - however - if you read my post you would see that it is not the phone app that is popping up but the contacts page.

If there is one thing that upsets me more than any other is that people seem to think that helping people is something hard to do.

Please read my posts and you will find that I try to help out without making people feel they have made a mistake by asking a question.

My apologies, if I upset you. I am here to help in almost any way I can. I did re-read the post (quoted below) and here is my not-so-hurried corrected reply:

So if you have your contacts open, then you open another program over contacts, close that one, it does make sense that the contacts will remain open when you close the last app. I just verified it on my handset. Unfortunately I do not think there is a fix for this, because this is normal for windows mobile. This is also how it works on your desktop/laptop, just how Bill likes it. Check the software forum as there may be an application that will close all windows when exiting an application and return you to the today screen.

I was playing this morning and I was able to duplicate this as well.
Here is what I did:
If you have showtitlebarclock=0, and open contacts, then close it via the 'x' button, (it is still listed as open in quickmenu), then when you close an application, contacts will open up again. If you don't have contacts open in the background, all is good.

Unfortunately, the only fix still is showtitlebarclock=2 to avoid the dialer/contacts pop-ups.

skyfire is pretty nice but you need an invite.

no....1st follow the steps to flash the leaked rom to upgrade your radio. the custom roms have to be extraced on a pc, then run the romupdateutility from the pc.

I ran the unlocker, and then I installed the Alltel ROM. I didn't stop the customization because I didn't know how so I just let it run.

That's all that I have done, but it's not fully correct. GPS doesn't work, I've tried google maps. If I want to do this over again and do it right & thoroughly, what do I need to do?

Thanks.

you need to flash the leaked sprint rom 1st to upgrade your radio....so skip customizations, just softreset when u see the 3 secs msg.

the instructions on post #1 are about as detailed as your gonna get lol.

I loaded a few programs and a week later no locks any more, so I do the ppst hack and get my pri to 2.03_003 and still no luck. Well I then flashed NexVisions rom(it is really nice as well, I love the splash screens/slide to unlock/ultimate launcher) but no GPS what so ever, just errors.

I would like to load OMJ's rom again can anyone direct a Bell user as to what rom to load(latest greatest working on Bell rom)

3.17.15 radio
2.03_003 pri

have u tried my bell version on post #1? the v2 & v3's were sprint versions.

I started with the stock Alltel ROM with radio 3.37.10 and a "Enable GPS" package that I had found on another thread. The first time I did this I was able to get a GPS lock on my way home from work and it worked incredibly well. That night I decided to cycle the phone on and off to see how quickly it would reacquire the signal and I have never gotten it to work since then. I have tried OMJs rom with 3.37.15 radio, and 3.37.10 radio and get the same result. GPS viewer does appear to find GPS on scan, but when I look at the status, satellites appear and disappear and I never get a lock. I have re-flashed several times and the results are always the same. I am even more frustrated because I saw it working on my phone and now I can't get it back. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. In my reading I have heard several people refer to radio 3.35.04 but haven't found anyplace to download it for the Vogue as it appears the author removed it after people had problem. Thanks again for any help.

3.35 is for the titan/mogul, it's not really meant for the vogue......how long did you let gpsviewer run? the initial lock will take awhile. someone about 15-20 posts back had some good tips that included changing the com port to 2.

I forgot to mention, I'm a complete noob. I just got this phone last week and it's my first PPC ever.

Needless to say, thorugh, detailed instructions are what I need.

I'd appreciate anyone's help!

Check out the consolidated rev a tutorial. Just follow those steps.

I just did the flash on my phone. Everything else (Rev A & GPS) works flawlessly, except I have a really hard time getting an activesync connection to my PC. Have anyone had this issue? What should I do about it?

Try this setting on your device:

Start Menu -> Settings -> Connections -> Usb to PC

Check it if you have Windows Vista,
UnCheck it if you have Windows XP on your PC.
