HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\UI

EnableServerEdit from 0 to 1

This took me forever to figure out how to unlock the server settings to change them... Just good for anyone else stuck.

Thanks
Keri

ADDED and THANK YOU!

hmmmm store them in outlook contacts, so when u activesync it updates your phone, or u can set it so activesync can upgrade both i think (extras in phone upgrade outlook, extras in outlook upgrade the phone) but if u didnt set it up that way, u need to delete the connection from activesync and reestablish link, then it should ask you.

You could try this backup program. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705 Its meant for PIM backups so it should be just what you arte looking for.

just call verizon and say you cant make any calls. they will get u up and running. first time you goto a new radio, u need to reauthenticate. i had to call VZ myself. they ask you to call a number or 2 and then should work. i dunno maybe there is another way but that is easiest. just say your phone was acting funky all day after leaving it near a magnet haha, and now cant make calls at all.

called and they got it fixed. Everything works great now, so happy i flashed

Is anyone else using the xv6900 with a Motorola S9 headset? After flashing my ROM and using OMJ's Verison ROM, I cannot get my headset to work properly. There is a Utility called BT Audio that allows me to turn on/off the bluetooth audio. When I turn it on, I get sound but only through a single speaker (mono.. not stereo). And, the quality is very poor.

Is there a program I can install that would help me? A co-worker also has an xv6900 that hasn't been flashed, and my S9 headphones work just fine on his phone so I know it is not a hardware problem.

I will continue researching this and will post a reply if I find a solution. If anyone out there has already been through this and already has a solution, I'd deeply appreciate the assistance!

Thanks in advance!!

I flashed my device on Sunday and had the same exact situation you are having. If you call #8899, they will ask you to hangup and call back on a different phone. So, call 1-800-922-0204 to speed up the process. I just told the Verizon tech that my phone locked up and I performed a HARD RESET to get it going again. They apololgize for the inconvinence and walk you through getting it going again. It only takes about 5 minutes and you'll have your phone working again.

Congrats on a successful flash!! I'm enjoying my GPS as well!

Depends on the rep I guess. I called from my 6900 and they were able to fix it while I was on hold.
