So if you have comments, issues, problems, opinions or just plain questions about this upgrade, post them here.
great job dcs.
let me be the first to post and it's regarding Incoming MSG.
When i first got my unit from Philippines, it was loaded with 1.66WWE and with this version i was able to select preloaded or customized WAV as incoming SMS tone. But it went missing when i upgraded to Waxx's 1.72 and even now to the latest o2 UK 1.72. Anyone else experiencing this?

Personally, I find the performance to be improved and also stability. Also, when a call comes in, the Answer button on the dialog works, which didn't before. As part of the extended ROM, O2 have provided improved video streaming over GPRS plus video for MMS (I haven't used either yet). The OS itself has the Microsoft user update 2 included. Of course, the 181 release also has Blackberry included.

OK. Strange, but at least you are sorted
Edit: Maybe it is something in O2 Active that causes the problem? I have uninstalled it, so perhaps I am unaffected. Could other people with O2 Active still installed throw light on this?
msn
Hi, I have installed the new rom (1.72.187). Everything is ok but Messenger. I can surf web sites using gprs and wifi but i cant connect msn. I always get the same error. "Logon to MSN Messenger failed because the service temporarily unavailable." But i can connect with my laptop. Any idea? thanks....
dcs,
have you tried Battery Pack Pro v1.1.10 on this? The last time i used this with 1.66WWE, i keep getting total blackout on my XDA2 with Bluetooth light steady blue and i hard to perform hard-reset. since then i was afraid to try again.

Have you applied the latest patch from Microsoft? Take a look here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/msnmessenger/pocketpc.mspx
It does state that you cannot access the service unless it is applied. Quote: "Customers without the updated software will not have access to the Service until the download has been completed."

I also have identical experience using the Battery Pack Pro v1.1.10 on 1.60 WWE. Being scared to have a try on 1.72. Should anyone pioneer on this, please also let me know. Thanks
Blackberry?
I'm trying to understand what the benefits of having Blackberry are. The Blackberry website says you get all the stuff which I'm sure I already have with my XDA. Things like e-mail and IE. Except for my e-mail which is blocked by my ISP, Plus.net (I can only view/download e-mails, not send new ones).
What's the big improvement I'm supposed to get with Blackberry? :?

I am running v1.1.1 with no problems on the v1.72 Rom. Worked fine with 1.60 also but no experience of v1.66.
have already installed New ROM 1.72.187
in this ROM, i think it work faster than 1.60 but liked other 1.72 ROM from T-mobile.
In the Ext ROM ,it doesn't include some software such as GPRS monitor.
Now ,I desired to cook it.
More stable without question. Only thing that I have found is that the O2 logo can't be moved. Dam thing stuck in middle of title bar. BT Tools works ok. Better wapsupport for o2 active, though XDA seems to forget it's connected and will drop connection and reconnect when conecting to O2's wap service.
Still it's a worthwile update.
I am having problems with Fonix voice dial. When I adda voice tag I get an error that it cannot update, hard or soft reset doesnt help. Also if I restore my backup using the built in backup program I find that streaming video and blackberry programs both vanish from my xda 2.
Feed back
looking good so far. I have added all my apps including BPP 1.1.1 and everything works fine.
SRS now works as well whereas before it trashed my xda II
I am from Asia but installed this UK o2 ROM and found its totally working good.
However, one thing is the autoconfig function has gone.
Anyone knows how to get this from the previous AISA rom?
Blackberry Config
Anyone been successful with this yet?
Ive activated the install and the BB client tries to connect somewhere over GPRS, but eventually suspends itself.
Ive got access to our Corporate BES so should be able to get it working. However, there seems to be some mention in the ROM upgrade guide about a desktop client manager (needed on PC to download the policy).
Ive seen posts that say O2 is not making it availble until Jan 05 - anyone confirm?
Oh, and Im actually using Vodafone
Hope some one can help me with this one....
I have wm2005 on a spv m1000 (o2 xds2) running no problems, everything is great, BT, phone, activesync via cradle etc etc
big problem i have is i cannot get my contacts and calendar to sync from outlook (2003 sp1)
i keep getting error coming up, support code 85010014 with a little while exclamation mark in a red circle next to my activesync icon.
I can explore the pda but for some reason cannot sync with it... ?
please help otherwise i'll have to revert back to me 2003se....
Here's another interesting problem. I can sync perfectly in the office, but the device is not recognized at home. I've upgraded to Act Sync 4.0 and Act Sync recognizes the old PDA from my wife (only once, but it will start each time) but it doesn't recognize my WM2005. Looking in network connections using use server-assigned IP address it indicates that it is not connected. However putting the device into the cradle gives a ping on the PC. I've looked into the device manager on the PC looking for the Act Sync dll under hidden devices but couldn't find it. There was some strange sign in there which I took out, but now I get the message that Wbutton.sys is missing (maybe somebody can mail it to me) but I can't imagine that this is the reason why it won't work. I've reinstalled Act Sync a couple of times without succes. So after reading the forums for quite some time now I'm without any clue at this point and I could do with some practical advice :?
WM2005 + Outlook
Heres another for you.
I upgraded to WM2005 and activesync 4 and it would sync everything from outlook 2003 no problem then for no reason it just stopped and displays the 85010014 error. Tried reinstalling activesync removing all traces and even reflashing with a newer version of wm2005 with no luck.
I've just been playing around with exchange server and syncing my phone directly to it over wifi (bypassing pc activesync) and it worked briefly, now it comes up with an error message saying "activesync encountered a problem on the server (with a support code: 0x85010014).
Seems to me that its a problem on the phone rather than activesync on pc.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Update !!
reset xda2 back to wm2003 then went back to wm2005 and everything was fine !!!!
really weird that !, never mind, must have been an install error,
BTW :- Buzz's max ram version of wm2005 is excellent !
I have had some weird AS4 probs too, but if I temporarily disable my zonealarm firewall, it works fine every time.
yes disable windows firewall ... solved my problem (wm2005 AS4(via usb))
Same prob. here. At first had a prob. with driver. Had to install ActiveSync 4 before upgrading to WM5. ActiveSync 4 with WM2003SE works just fine. Syncing with upgraded WM5 device is a No-Go.
Am looking into it. Keep you posted!
Any help is welcome. Tim.

Same prob here with Zone Alarm, the connection isn't getting picked up as a new program for some reason so it doesn't ask for permission through the firewall.
Looking forward to a solution!
I can't revert back to WM2003 after flashed WM2K5. The HimaUpgradeUt waited too long, and then showed MODEL ID ERROR.
How can I force it to return to old 2003 version? Thanks

Just add the ip address and sub net of your xda into Zone Alarm and it will work fine. Did for me.
I recently upgraded my PDA2k to WM5 along with the new AS4.0 Beta, and recieved the same 85010014 error. I found the resolution through a thread regarding the same error code on the Internet. Typically, I choose "Work Offline" when I start Outlook. The thread directed me to connect directly to my Exchange server for the first sync. Afterwards, I was able to sync while in my typical "Work Offline" mode.
Hope this helps.
I solved my ActiveSync problem with Error 85010014.
I also run Eudora and Incredimail Plugin for Outlook on both PCs, Work and Home. Both are on XP Pro SP2 and when I installed ActiveSync 4.1 on my work PC without issue, I decided to attack my Home PC Outlook installation to see if I could resolve the issue.
So, At home:
Putting Outlook in Offline mode did not solve the problem.
I uninstalled ActiveSync 4.0 and installed ActiveSync 4.1 - No difference.
I backed up Outlook via 3rd party program to grab account settings as well as my 2GB pst file then ran Help->Detect and Repair... - reboot, no difference.
I then ran Control Panel -> Add or remove Programs -> Office 2003 and chose to modify my installation by adding or removing components. I unchecked Outlook and updated it to remove Outlook from my Office 2003 suite. Then returned to this option and re-checked Outlook to add it back to my Office 2003 Suite, CD-Rom in hand but updating, it did not ask for the Office 2003 Install CD-Rom... - Rebooted and connected - Bingo NO 85010014 error!
I have a GPRS account @ my SP with all the things I need to check my mails, send wap based smses, or check/dl stuff from the net
it has worked OK with wm2003...
it has worked OK with wm2003se...
it has worked OK with wm2005...
but it is not working any more!
in the last two weeks I made hard resets on a regular basis (every another day) installing and trying out softwares on wm2005, sometimes when I needed destinator or tomtom, I uploded my wm2003se full install - after finished, back to wm2005...
as things and limitations clear now with wm2005 (and also have all get arounds for dest & tomtom problems) I would have a full WORKING version of my ppc with wm2005...
but I figured out, that regardless of I make all the correct setup with passwords, gatways, usernames and so on (which I now by heart now the thing refuses to go online...
it tries to connect then say: check your settings...
I am NOT about to check the setup, but to ask you guys has anybody same problem?
anyway it's an xdaII/bl 1.01/wm2005g/no other soft installed
thanks
and - after another hard reset - voila, it suddenly started to work and still working...
although - compared to wm2003 & wm2003se - it has a strange behaviour: when the connection lost (for some reason, usually after a few hours) I cannot reconnect, I have to soft reset
any comment?
1. A2DP icon missing
I want to re-direct skype audio to my bluetooth earphone. How can I do that?
2. I can not login MSN/windows alive though skype can login without any problem via WIFI. Seems MSN try to get online through different connection setting? how/where can I define the connection setting for MSN?
3. Phone module die without any sign. All incoming call is diverted to voice mail automatically until soft reset. As if the phone is switched off.
(I am not sure whether this is WM6 related)
this means you might miss important call without any sign!
Does anybody have same experience?
1) I dont think that was ever a default thing? Did you install something and forget? have a cooked rom? There are A2DP solutions in this forum, "Use the Search luke."
2) No, its shagged. I installed the windowslive50.cab file I had on universal, it works now.
3) No idea, mine works fine. Hard reset? Check your sim?
I can get online with my WLM but it does sometimes take a resync of the whole account to do it.
Skype did say (unless changed recently) that they were still working on transferring calls to bt headsets. Which means, currently, that it does not work through anything other than headphones and the mic on the phone.
Comm Manager
Hello,
It is possible to change the green color from the Comm Manager ?
Thanks
French Keyboard
I have upgraded my french Advantage and all is OK apart for keyboard layout. On my old Universal (also french keyboard) I had changes the registry for hklm/software/oem/qwerty layout to 1040C (hex) and it had worked.
On the advantage this does not seem to change anything, any ideas?
Also has anyone got integrated VoIP working? I have used a CAB file from Universal to activate it and SIP Config Tool to do the set up but it does not allow me to select VoIP from today menu.
Anyone got this set up and working? Integrated VoIP is the reason I upgraded to WM6!
Messenger Etc....
Live Messenger stops working correctly after a soft reset. Initially it works fine. Contacts show as offline, although they are still able to contact me and vice-versa.
As far as I can ascertain push email still functions correctly.
I cannot confirm whether this is related to MS's side (rather than the program) as I haven't had chance to check if anyone else experiences the same problems.
Have tried installing the separate CAB file but I am subsequently told that I do not have the necessary permissions (or something like that).
This comes from tests on a T-Mobile branded Ameo (not the brand new one I'm selling, if anyone decides to cross-check!)
I haven't come across any other problems. Seems a bit less laggy than the original T-Mobile ROM, loads up web pages slightly faster too it seems.
No other issues as yet.
Ive had no probs at all since installing the messenger cab.
Still using it now.
Do we know what version of WLM is on this new ROM?
I've pulled \windows\wlmmessenger.exe to desktop and looked at the Version tab...10.6.28.2700 is what comes out.
Pyrofer - can you do the same on your cabbed version and let me know what the version number says? Not always an accurate guide but worth a shot. Also the digital signature is 3rd May 07.
Cheers
Ant
EDIT - never mind, just seen ur post in general Athena tab...10.6.0026.1400
I wonder what is different? If anything? I also wonder whether this is actually a final release of the ROM that's just been leaked early, as WLM is a pretty central component to web using Athena owners (myself very much included) and for it not to work after a soft reset...hmm.
Hi royalmail,
I've got exactly the same problem you mention about the phone.
I was unable to answer calls.
So I belive you've use the second file to upgrade to WM6 (HTC001 ... with ipl...).
You have to go back to WM5 WWE using the last ROM posted in the Athena upload folder in the XDA FTP. After flashing your Athena to WM5, Use the first ROM posted (the one with a readme file included).
And voila! No problem at all since I've done it this morning, everything works fine!
Hope this helps!
Hi Thibale,
I flashed with the t-mobile version. the phone dead only once so far, though i am not sure it's caused by WM6. Anyway, thx for sharing your info.

Also, read through the forum regarding some of your other issues.
Try to disable your GPRS and see if your calls start coming through.

@Pyrofer, could u upload yr WLM5.cab here? thanks in advance.
so my activesync hasnt been working for a few days, so i went onto microsoft to try to fix it, and they had an idea of removing the program and reinstalling it, so i did that. My device still cannot be read. i am going to reflash my device with dcds rom, but the only problem i am afraid of now is the fact that i dont have any way to back up my contacts since i cannot connect to my computer, can someone please help me, i really dont know what to do
Get the PIM backup program and save the data to your SD card....
how do i get it on my phone, i cant connect to my pc
You have to copy the cab file to your micro sd card with a card reader. Then install from the cab and run backup to your card.
another way is to make a share on your desktop and connect to it on you phone via wifi.
i got it on my phone, thanks for the help, i really appreciate it

I am glad you go the sd card flash to sort out your problem of getting the rom onto the ppc. My activesync connection is incredibly flaky too. One minute it works, next minute it wont. I am almost certain it is a problem with the pc as others have this problem too. I even seem to remember a post by dcd saying he had the same issue.
Well the way I fixed the problem was to turn off "enable advanced network functionality" from the ppc side. The option is in the start-->settings-->connections tab-->"USB to PC" applet. (This is also sometimes misplaced in start-->settings-->system tab when you have WM6.1 running). Once I disable the advanced network functionality my activesync works flawlessly, and despite what the warning tells you, it seems just as fast as with the advanced network functionality enabled.
i tried it, but unfortunately it still didnt work. i cant even flash my phone right now
First,make sure that both the phone and windows mobile device center are configured to use usb. Also try clearing that option and reselecting it. That sometimes helps. To back up your contacts,see if you can sync over bluetooth. I have found that sometimes I can sync over bluetooth even though it wont connect over usb.
I had a similiar prob with active sync, googled and found a newer version installed the newer version after uninstalling the old. No more problems.
gogetta, where did you find a newer version of ActiveSync?
Wait, maybe I'd better start with "What version did you find?"
I've been using the 4.5 that shipped with my xv6800, and it has worked perfectly ... until ...
Last weekend I installed a new hard drive, using the old one as the slave. It's been a nightmare. I can't get it to work at all!
I've installed, uninstalled, deleted registry settings, etc. so many times I can't even count. I've been all over the web and tried many things .. nothing seems to work.
So what version did you find that worked for you?
