Finally I upgraded to WM2003SE (2.06).
Direct reason was the declining performance under WM2003 (1.72). What happened was that when running TomTom 5.1 and a phone call came in (or I made one) the connection with my SD was lost. Exit TomTom, take-out & re-insert SD end eventualy restarting TomTom solved that on an incident basis.
With WM2003 SE that problem has gone. BUT I got something back: The sound in TomTom (5.1 and 5.21) is severely distorted ('clicking' like sound). The same (but not that severe) happens when I run Tomtom and I play an MP3 using WMP9.
I tried XCPUScalar, but the CPU load most of the time is around 60-70% (@400MHZ).
My Extended ROM does not have suspicious tools that run permanently in it.
Any clues?
Update: Same issue happens with ROM 2.20.07CHS (translated).
I received a clue from mamaich :
Create a "Priority256" key under HKLM\drivers\builtin\wavedev and set it to 128 (0x80)
First results are promising!
mmm looks like I am talking to myself in this thread.
Anyway: The registry hack worked fine for me. Even better: the GB-Tweak applet I allready have does just the same (via the Audio priority option).
I am now very happy with the 2.20 translated SE ROM for my Himalaya. I might just keep on using it until my Wizard arives in two weeks 8)
Had the same problem, tomtom stutterd, GB-Tweak did the trick.
Thanks for the help.

Here are some screen shots of the new visible features from this leaked ROM.. very nice rom
Camera has definately improved in low light mode the picture still come up very good.. night mode also works very well.. overall nearly as good as nokia phones now
The bluetooth connections seems to be better also
The phone pad now donot delay when you have short tones enabled.
and so far i have not have any problems with this rom except that getting used to the new today page.
Assasins - Do you know how to make the Date item on the today page the same as in the old rom? Do you know any registy keys that customizes this? Thanks for the ROM by the way [/img]
Damn good catch, mate! The camera clicks, and the photo's taken, so I don't have to wait five seconds more! The picture quality is pretty similar, but good enough for me. The unit's faster, and the new functions are great. The best is the BT and WiFi controls on the today page! Finally! (OK, I've only had the thing for a couple of weeks, but I really missed that.) Most of my annoyances are totally gone, except for two: Why is WiFi off after a reset? Every other unit I've had so far, has it turned on by default. And it still turns on when it gets an SMS, if there's not some setting that I haven't yet found that stops it from doing that. Still, this unit is now very close to perfect!

Just downloaded and upgraded mine
Which seetings are you using? Are you saving the photo in device memory?
For me, the 5 seconds lag is still there - taking photos at 1600x1200 and saving them to mini-SD.
Also, did anybody notice the funny "plah plah" sound after turning the volume off?
it took long time for me to save a 2MP JPG to the MINI-SD...
but! if you will format your card, the speed will improve immediatly...
try.
Nadavi.
Just tried the installation as well and things are working smoothly Nice one assassins!! 8)
Funny things I noticed:
InstallShield is spelled as InstallSheild
InstallShield wizard said "(test only)"... Woooooh Just hope it won't say "invalid device" next time I upgrade to the official O2 released ROM ... :shock:
should i upgrade
my O2 came with 20060123B1WWE whould I upgrade?
I gotit from an official O2 dealer in Mumbai, India but when I try to register it O2 claims that they do not recognise the IMEI number. Why?
Navin, register via the Australian site at www.see02.com and not the UK site. :lol:

Sorry to inform u that this version is not compatible with Chinese/ Japanese enabler software (CE-star V2.8r1)!
Is it me or is this version a drain on the battery power?
It's not you, it's the WiFi. If you don't turn it off with the new, shining wireless toggle app, it will stay connected, so the unit doesn't really sleep at all. Try to ping your Atom (if you have a static IP) when it's "suspended", and you'll get answers.
Guys, what's the Storage card called on the atom? "storage card" or something else (in gsfinder etc).
V
"Memory Card". At least in WM5's File Explorer.
upgrade working fine
Did the new Rom upgrade this morning and everything is working great.
I am using 4smartphone.net (exchange server) and the push email is now working. That was the main reason for my upgrading.
I highly recomend doing the upgrade.
BT voice dial on Atom
Is it possible to make voicedial function available through bluetooth? When I press a button on my jabra BT800, Atom launches phone module and does nothing else. Could there be a registry tweak to make it launch sddial.exe while opening audio channel to/from bt headset?

How did you activate the push mail option on the atom with the new rom, couldnt seem to find it..?
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.

Thanks for all the input.
@Pyrofer, could u upload yr WLM5.cab here? thanks in advance.
I just thought that amidst all the abusing by various people, and asking and begging etc, the people who actually have the rom should post their findings on it so far. Maybe say what os u used to flash, and then any problems you have had with it.
I used XP SP2 32 bit, and these are the bugs ive found:
1)I have this weird thing with the battery where even after being on 80% at night, then charging overnight, both pocketplus4 and resco today say its on 95%. The light is also green before i pull the charger out.
2)I had a problem with wisbar not showing the full start menu, in that some parts only had icons and no text, but a reinstall fixed this.
3)Opera also doesnt load my homepage properly. I have set it to the athena mobile 6 forum, and whenever i load it, it goes to www.htc.com. But when i click settings, it userdefined is selected and its the right URL.
4)Theres no top line on the tabs at the bottom in settings just the lines between "personal" "system" and "connections", ill post a screen shot if needed...
5)finally, audio sometimes doesnt resume when i pause a video and resume it.. but the video does..
Im not trying to complain here, just thought it would be good for the team to ahve somewhere to look to see the bugs people have, and maybe you can try and iron them out for the full release. that is why there was a prerelease after all.
Fianlly, please REFRAIN FROM POSTING unless you have the rom.
If your device has been "bricked" by the prerelease spl, please post in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=385148 not here.
Solutions to bugs:
The battery bug: no soultion yet
Opera Homepage bug: instead of going to a page, then settings and clicking use current page, copy the url, and click user defined and paste the link there
The settings tabs graphic problem: Solved by a hard reset. a hard reset may also solve all graphics problems
The audio not resuming problem: disable wow hd [ people said this, i tried it, didnt work for me]
Thanks to the team for all their hard work!
Rory
3) Opera homepage was wierd for me in not working initially when I set it but ok now.
Think what I did different was to set it in "User Defined"
Its not obvious but you can finger scroll the opera settings pages down to show more options
4) Line is ok for me, running RealVGA 96dpi
5) try turning off WOW HD Settings
AP4 works great for me. Other than a few missing icons I have zero problems. The battery (new) shows 100% when fully charged.
Agile Messenger
http://www.agilemobile.com/
is an example of several applications that appear to install fine, but when you try and run them, don't start. Maybe a WM6.1 problem rather than AP4.0 ?
I REALLY do not like Agile anymore. First, they charge. Second they send your password as plaintext! How stupid is that???
And yes I do have the 95-96% battery bug.
Flashed using XPSP2 - followed the PDF exactly by updating radio to 1.57 first and then installing enableRAPI.cab before starting the update process. Have flashed before so did not need to install the drivers from boot loader mode, they were already there.
1: Task Manager icon missing at 96dpi
2: logmein seems to be an issue with WM6.1
3: camera album hangs when opening a video, needing a soft reset
4: WMP will not open in Portrait orientation in 96dpi.
5: The comm manager is still only filling a quarter of the screen in 96dpi mode.
6: Device hangs when trying to open BT SAP settings in 96dpi.
I know some people have mentioned issues with the USB to PC storage mode, but i have not tried this yet, but will report back when i do.
gonna keep testing to see what i can find and update this as i find them.
EDIT:
Fixed no. 4. - Whenever i tried to open WMP in 96dpi portrait it simply crashed and closed again. fixed in the following steps.
set real VGA back to 192 and reboot device
open WMP in portrait.
Got to menu/options and select the skins tab.
Wait for the skin to appear (this will take several seconds)
Once it has appeared on the screen, tap OK and then close WMP.
reset VGA to 96dpi and you're good to go.
This was exactly the same way i used on the WMP bug in AP2/3.
USB to PC storage actually worked VERY well for me Saved me from having to download WM5torage.
I haven't had any of thoose problems. I flashed it via xp and just clicked on the athena wrapper. my thoughts so far is that its a nice rom some annoying problems I had were the screen oriention changing when ever I soft reset. soultion was to copy the toggle to windows\startup and reset and it won't change by itself. as for opera I hated the 9.5 so I uninstalled and installed 8.65 I cant get tomtom to install on this rom. but was able to run route 66. had problems with palringo(im client) and it upgrades itself. I installed schaps configurator and maxed at all the settings. runs super fast now! questions I have for the team is why do they recommend upgrading to 1.57 radio? im using 1.38 with out any problems. another is does the new home screen require net frame 3.0 to run? or why include it in the rom. if im wrong correct me but isn't it a beta?
overall good jobs guys
tomtom 6.03 installed and running fine for me.
Only odd thing is that as you drive screen keeps swapping between landscape and portrait, so just used the icon to disable auto rotate.
What about a option for no bugs?
another thing i just noticed is that the device runs much qiucker using the netcf 2 rather than the 3 thats installed on it. another thing i noticed is that if your sending a message using the attached keyboard when your typing the sender it wont pre guess it. but if i use the sip it works fine
still existing the problem with the watch, as for AP 3. The phone each time you reset moves the zone to GMT +2
I don't understand the brick advice. It is a regular update of rom.
There too much programs no needed, still waiting for a vainilla version.
Now i see what you mean by the battery bug. I had not noticed it previously.
If i charge the device to 100%, showing in the settings menu, DCI battery bar, and also green light, as soon as i unplug the device, it drops to 96% almost immediately. I can actually watch the battery bar clicking down each percent over around 15 seconds!!
Windows media player not opening in portrait at 96dpi has been solved, simply go back to 192 and open WMP in portrait. Got to menu/options and select the skins tab.
Wait for the skin to appear (this will take several seconds)
Once it has appeared on the screen, tap ok and then close WMP.
reset VGA to 96dpi and you're good to go.

Have you read nothing on AP4.0? It certainly ISN'T a regular update of ROM!

Several bugs
I have installed AP4 according to the manual and it went like clockwork.
After four days of havy use I have noticed some problems:
1. On sunday and monday I had several problems with the microdrive. Several times the drive vanished in Resco Explorer or there were strange files, or complete directories were read only. Everytime a softreset solved it. I decided to flash my device again and now everything works fine.
2. I use TomTom very often. Installing works fine but with the latest versions 6.032 build 8351 and build 8355 I have problems. It happens very often when I am navigating and I change te route, that when TomTom is recalculating, the program gives a error saying that because of an error it can not calculate the route. Only a softreset solves the problem. Tomorrow I will test the wm2003 version 6.03 on AP4 to find out if WM6.1 is the problem.
3. Today I had several problems with the radio version 1.57. It was already installed when I used AP3. After entering my pin the device connected to the intenet but there was no trafic possible. A softreset solved it. But this happened several times today while driving on the road. I also noticed a problem I had in the past with my universal. While I had te problem I disabled the phone, but the connection stayed. There was also trafic. Very strange.
4. Another thing that bothers me is TouchFlo itself. Sometimes it makes it impossible to select text. Within TomTom the screen does not respond as it did in AP3. You have to press hard and for a longer time before TomTom noticed that you pushed the screen. The same TomTom has no problem on my HTC Touch Cruise (Polaris).
5. I used F-Secure for months now but now it will not install. I had to install compact framework 2 first.
6. I noticed another thing this aftenoon. When I was in TomTom te diable call button will minimize TomTom and you cannot see it anymore with WkTASK. First I thought it hd crashed but after starting it again I noticed that the program was running in the background.
7. This evening I was browsing with RSS hub and Opera. I was hitting a link and on te page was a flashvideo. After Opera had started the page was loaded but just before it was finished Opera shutdown completely.
8. I want to end this review with saying that I also have the probem with the battery indicator not showing the 100% energie level, the htc album freezing my device, iGO8 not wanting to start, Opera not wanting to start mediaplayer after hitting an mms link. Internet Explorer does, and several websites use a specific fonts which result in a webpage with very large text. E.g. http://mobiel.nu.nl/pda which normaly shows small fonts. I have no probem with it on AP3.
Beside all these problems I like the rom. Route66 workeds perfectly on AP4 so I can live with the TomTom problem. A few weeks ago my plus account ended and I did not renew it yet.
QAN
OK, battery bug seems to be getting worse, charges fully and light goes green, all battery meters read 93%, even when still plugged in!
I am also experiencing problems with the internet as detailed by Qan. It works fine for a while and then it stops and i have to soft reset. Am going to flash back to 1.50 radio as i never had a problem with that - although i am a bit worried about flashing a radio on the pre-release as it does not have the locked SPL that would be in the final release, but i suppose if i use an updater that only contains the radio, it shouldn't be a problem (famous last words!!).
I have noticed that my touch screen seems to be much less sensitive. This I am guessing is down to touchflo waiting to see if you are going to scroll and therefore it is not picking up the quick taps. Annoying, and possibly the one thing that will send me back to AP3 dual. The touch itself bugged the hell out of me for being so unresponsive on the touch screen, but the touch dual was much better. This seems to be at the level of the original touch and not sure it is something i can live with.
This is not to detract for the rest of the ROM. It is superb, and the current bugs are minor, and no doubt the guys and gals of the AP team will fix them all in no time. I just am not a big fan of touchflo and would rather it was not there. but hey, we all have our own personal tastes.
I am unhappy with the autorotation of the screen (you can imagine while you are driving).
The device is times no responding because maybe touchflo way of work.
I don't see special speed or capacity improvement from ap 3 and times speed is lower than generic 6.1
Bluetooth disconnect more often, but not sure if it is because I moved radio 1.53
The other point I see is that there are too much stuff programs for me. I use other ones and the problem is memory...
still waiting a vainilla version, if it is possible.
I would like to be a technician in order to understand the memory improvement this rom has meaning, may I ask somebody to explain please?
I've connected bluetooth GPS to 3125, seemed to be OK (it asked about pin and after that info about equipment beeing connected).
Unfortunatelly GPS software doesn't communicate with GPS equipment. It is searching for bluetooth GPS but doesn't find it. I tried to set connection (port, baud rate) manually but I don't know which COM port is assigned to bluetooth
Is there any way to check this on ?
P.S. I've installed WM6.1 standard by Erofich
try 6.1 pro
I found that bluetooth is using COM6.
The biggest problem was in finding properly working GPS software
hi bchrubas,
Which GPS software are you actually using on WM6.1 standard?
I tried WM6.1 pro for a while but found WM6.1 standard more handsome since I manly want to use my phone simply as a phone
Anyway I'm still missing a good GPS program for navigation which is not intended for touch screen devices.
For now I stucked with Sygic McGuider (http://www.sygic.com/)
It doesn't need touch screen and StarTrek (or At&T 3125) is on the list of compatibile devices. MCGuider runs on STK quite fairly, I didn't noticed any major errors, maybe if it was little faster? (I know that it is possible to overclock this phone but i'm not quite sure about it
Anyhow, I'm stiil searching for some simple GPS track loging software
I looked around a bit and on smartphone-freeware.com I found these two programs:
gpsVP
chtiGPS
both seem to be able to do the loging. And the first one might even be worth trying as a navigation software for me.
not bad, especially this gpsVP
if it really support Garmin format maps it could be very useful
