All, I just used the new PPCKitchen to load the numROM3pre3; however, my bluetooth is not working - seems like it can't find the bluetooth hardware.
I know I saw a message somewhere about this and possible fixes, but now I can't remember where. Anyone remember where these messages were found, and/or know what the fix was?
Thanks.

Not to be redundant with other threads, but to compile in one place, maybe we can list in this thread the known issues in the new Cingular ROM, with links to the other threads where solutions/ideas are being discussed. Some of those which come to mind are the following:
Goodlink Integration with Dialer not Working
PIE Proxy Issues (and related VPN troubles)
SD Card Not Reading Correctly
Disappearance of SmartDialer ... which should be fixable with the cab file located here.
Additionally, know helpful registry tweaks are being (and should be) compiled here
And finally, some helpful fixes/mods:
PTT Fix - to take back control over the PTT button (especially useful if you don't plan to use PTT)
BandSwitch - to manage your connections (and thereby increase battery life)
Well, this is just a start.
What are the SD problems? I haven't run into anything yet...
Check the link I provided on the first post.. many folks (myself included) have intermittent problems where the directories on the card are no longer visible (until after a soft reset and/or removal and re-insertion of the card).
Bummer. I hope that doesn't hapen to me. But if this XDA-Lives ROM is released, hopefully I won't be using Cingular's (AT&T's) 2.06 ROM much longer!
Some, including myself, have lost SmartDialer.
I'm trying to find a solution.

Yeah, I have this problem too. Luckily I've been using the E-Ten Dialer, so I'm not used to the Smart Dialer. But it'd be nice if I had it available, since I'm not using E-Ten anymore.
A lot of people use PTTfix. Might want to put a shortcut to sleuth's thread, as his latest release apparently fixes the issues with it. (I'll post it if I happen to stumble across it in my journies of trying to catch up with the latest posts.)

Yes, but is that really an issue or a feature? I am sure Cingular would consider it a feature, but everyone knows it's total crap.
Smart Dialer coment:
Some are having issues with new ROM and no smart dialer. I had no problems, but I also know that installing ETen Big Button Dialer (available at 8525software.com) disables Smart Dialer. So I tested it. Install ETen and as supposed too, no smart dial. Then I unistall ETen and the smart dial is back working ok. Also in the phone screen the right soft key has an option for the Smart Dialer, make sure it is turned on.
Now if anyone can get ETEN to work WITH smartdial, that would be cool.
I could not get E-Ten to work with SmartDial, though purportedly you can... see link here for discussion on this issue.
If you do get it working, an easy step-by-step would be appreciated!

Heh.. I definitely consider it an issue.. Cingular does say feature no doubt, but I should still have the ability to remap that button. Hence the reason I suggested it.
I added it to the first page (which I am updating as folks add thoughts)

Eten Dialer WITH SmartDial Works for me but the ATT name is scrunched up a little.But everything works.
SEE My next post. Soory
Were you intending to attach files to your last post? Not sure I can follow it.
This has Portrait and Landscape Mode w/Smart Dial, Look pretty good.
Excellent -- seems to work .. now I will see if those black glass skins work with it -- thanks

I unzipped it ... just install the cab file, restart, and it should work ... or am I missing something? At the moment I don't have any version of the e-ten dialer installed (do I need to do that first?)

No the zip with the cab has the smartdialer and the ETEN buttons.
Hello!
I would like to get a copy of DCD's kitchen for his rom 3.2.0 and 3.2.2 (or the closest one to that).
The reason for that is that I want to compare what has changed between the two and hopefully locate the file that makes it so that skype 2.1.0.66 hasn't been working anymore since 3.2.x versions.
Somehow, DCD's site is down and I can't locate those files I need.
Any help?
Thanks!
i have the rom on my hard drive and 3.2.2 as a kitchen. if google dosnt find it i can send them to you

is msxipkernel\nk.exe
Thanks DCD.
Is there an adverse effect in replacing that file in your newer rom? (aside from making skype work?)
Hum...
NK.exe is THE kernel...
Switching it might be a bad idea I guess, it might break lots of things?
Stuck on 3.2.0 until skype fixes their software I guess...

Since dcd knows which file causes the issue and hasn't found a decent workaround/replacement for the file, I'd be willing to bet it isn't a "plug-in the file from a different WM version" fix. As I recall this was a pretty hot issue when WM6.1 surfaced and I believe the post below might say it best.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=434875&postcount=52
It seems Skype isn't interested in supporting our phone and they have the resources of eBay. If they wanted to support us (and a vast number of other phones,) they could..... but they don't. That's called a "marketing decision" when big corporations do it..... specifically, a "poor marketing decision."
I've seen services called "iSkoot" and "Nimbuzz" mentioned as alternatives.
Well,
I just tried both : Nimbuzz does not hear anything from my Titan's microphone and iSkoot wants to call their gateway with a regular phone call, which is long distance for me, so, it's out of the question.
I also do not get any audio with fring on my phone.
Any other ideas before I flash back to DCD 3.2.0?
imo, this was due to an idiotic/crappy/lazy slap wm6.0 code into wm6.1 platform builder move by HTC ... It worked, with some weird side effect on code that uses critical sections it seems... well, not all code... mainly multimedia apps (such as tcpmp). Unfortunately, until HTC fixes the kernel with the correct code, we are out of luck.
3.2.1 and above also broke SRS WOW
it seems the kernel update broke a few media apps...specifically the ones the tried to interface with the audio or mic

the kernels are device specific? i thought they're coded by microsoft and deployed by the manufactures like windows for PCs...that's news to me.
Has anyone else had a problem with the word completion and spell correction on the software and hardware qwerty keyboards? Even though I have both of these features checked they still don't work. When I'm in T9 mode it works ok just not in ABC.
Is anyone else having this problem? I would like it to work like word completion did on my Mogul.
Thanks,
crw
Yeah, me too. I loved word completion on my Treo 700wx. I wish it would start working on the TP. Of course that is minor compared to the TP not wanting answer incoming phone calls. Now THAT just sucks.
Hello.
I asked the same question my self. Here is a link. I installed the cab on my phone and it works great. Just like it worked on my Mogul.

where did the cab go?
phone not answering calls.
There is a fix for that problem it comes from diamond config and advanced config function. You need to do a search it is a quick reg edit that will fix it. I believe I found it over at ppcgeeks. And it fixed my problem of not answering calls.
Classic Word Completion?
I would like to have the classic 6.0 XV6800 word completion. It was alot nicer. Anyone know where to find it at? Ive been looking and searching the forums for it.
Has anybody tried it yet? on my phone, it will crash EVERY single time im either trying to make a phone call or trying to pick up an incoming one. just trying to find out if anybody else encounters this. on a related note: i lost the cab for the (in my case working) version 2.2.0.45. if somebody could please send it to me so i can at least use it again? i tried skype's forum, but the people there are useless
thx in advance
ombre
edit: found the cab. on a russian forum. damn, i forgot most of my russian.. oh well. still interested if someone has the same problem with the 2.5beta tho
Hi,
Skype is just working perfectly for me. I don't know what version it is but downloaded it yesterday from skype directly (2.5 beta).
Dont know if the German language is available in this install:

Are you using an original english rom? from what i have read so far, this problem only occurs when skype is installed on roms with an os language other than english.

Speaker function
When making a call, the call can only be heard through the speakers instead of the earspiece. Does anybody know how to solve this?

General problem with WM devices. Try fring, they somehow managed to reroute the sound from the back to the front speaker. works quite well actually.

Thanks! It works well, the only disadvantage is that you cannot change the volume of the ringtone.
Skype with S740
Skype does work very well on S740 (using Skype 2.5) but i'm forced to use the HEATSET!!!
But got a new problem after installing Real Dice Poker:The Skype notificationflag doesn't show anymore on my homescreen titlebar
I already tried to Hard Reset my S740 but even that did not help.
(Flag does show after entering "Recent Programs" in titlebar)
Any ideas what i should do to get back that systemicon on my homescreen?
First off, I used the search tool in an attempt to find an answer to my problem, but no luck. Anyway onto the question. I recently flashed Simply Honey 3.9.1 without any error. I heard about altering AngryGPS settings to help remedy the GPS problems that plague the Samsung Vibrant. Does anyone know what the best settings are for the application to get the best/fastest/most accurate GPS readings? Thanks in advance for any and all answers.
I too would like to know. And, is it necessary to change the name from angrygps.APk to angrygps.Bak? There seems to be some mixed thoughts on this.
