Mr. Obvious, seems to work fine now. Only two things bother me:

• For some reason, my EV icon on the top bar (I'm on Verizon) seems to keep flashing from EV to an antenna icon and back to EV. It didn't do that before.
• I had over 30MB free RAM once I booted the first time. After I installed a lot of my apps I am down to only 26MB free after booting. Weird, cause I didn't install any memory resident stuff (I don't think) but I can't figure where that extra 4MB went.

Other than that seems to work OK. I'll put it thru the paces tomorrow, and repost then.

Excessive Icon flashing can be fixed by using MemMaid (trial version) and finding the repllog.exe that indicates (down below) RunAfterTimeChange or similar words, and deleting it. This will also greatly improve battery life. This stops the phone from trying to sync every time the clock changes.

Learned this right here at PPCGeeks, but don't remember who to thank for it.

Hmm. I think it could be a memory leak in your selections or your today screen is fubared. As far as the EV it's probably the wi-fi needing to be turned off.

That's what I thought too (about the wireless)... but from what I can see it is not on! I have the hardware switch off, and I believe it is off from the CPL. Is there anywhere else I need to check? I use Verizon internet rather than the wifi stuff.

Can you take a screenshot? I don't know what you are talking about exactly.

For some reason it has stopped doing this. Seems to be working fine now. I fiddled around with the hardware switch setting (it was already off for WiFi so I turned it on and then back on a few times) and now works fine.

Wierd... Anyway things working OK here, and memory usage is great! (~25Mb free even with WAD2 running!)

Which selections are you using? My selections are not guaranteed because I lost my original when I made my ROM when I had to reinstall Vista. (Regcleaner mistake!) And AFAIK MMS should work with Alltel. You may have to reinstall Arcsoft from the cab but other then that it works.

Glad to hear.

Good. Yeah just make sure you play with those settings if you read this.

I'm new to this, but I am also having trouble with the Wifi constantly switching on and off. I toggled the Wifi on and off as Chimp suggested he had done, but that doesn't seem to stop it... Nevermind, I solved this by unchecking the "enable hardware switch." I was able to resolve the sound issue as per doc's suggestion of switching from the ringer switch to wireless switch, at which point I had left the box checked and the Wifi acted up.

I appreciate all the input in this forum.
