Oh, and Microsoft's own Voice Command still doesn't work properly with bluetooth headsets. Absolutely amazing that they can't get their own app on their own OS to work properly.]]>Aug 31st 2007 12:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/cooked-winmo-6-rom-verified-for-ppc-6700-xv6700/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/cooked-winmo-6-rom-verified-for-ppc-6700-xv6700/
Now the upgrade from WM5 to WM6 is freaking phenomenal. The boot time is faster, programs and applications load faster, sure there's a few bugs in the beginning (You know the phone's NOT even supposed to have WM6 which is kind of a big deal in itself).

If you look at the big picture, with a community that's actively modifying and supporting a phone like this, it actually rivals some of the newest phones on the market. I myself was going to switch to a mogul, but with this upgrade why bother? There's going to be roms and kitchens galore soon.]]>Aug 31st 2007 1:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/cooked-winmo-6-rom-verified-for-ppc-6700-xv6700/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/cooked-winmo-6-rom-verified-for-ppc-6700-xv6700/

I would love to do this upgrade now at work, but I gotta sync with my outlook one more time to get my calendar and contacts out. Does anyone care to elaborate on the instructions? esp for us Sprint users. The only thing that http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=7671 seems to say is:

Quick How to:
1. Put your device in bootloader mode (RECORD+POWER+RESET) and click APAC_WM6_R0_[Ur Operator name].EXE then click install wait till it finish.
2. Then Left Softkey+Right Softkey+Reset and then press Y (Hard Reset)
3. Done

Phone definitely has a new lease on life. Everything is faster and I was able to backup my contacts to the SD card and import them back in.

Phone is great now!]]>Aug 31st 2007 2:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/cooked-winmo-6-rom-verified-for-ppc-6700-xv6700/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/cooked-winmo-6-rom-verified-for-ppc-6700-xv6700/For example, If I get a text from john and he sent "what are you doing?" , my phone says the message is from "what" and the message is "are you doing?". Anyone else having this problem??

I should mention that before I updated my phone I synced my contacts to outlook 2007 and then synced back after the upgrade. Could my contact list format be messed up and not recognised by sms? Any help would be appreciated.

2. When it prompts that it is going to start the customization in 3 seconds, do a soft reset.

shortly after my earlier post in these discussions, Sean over at EngadgetMobile took the time to shoot me an email with some suggestions to make WM5 work faster on the PPC-6700 (he tried this method out on his Cingular 8125). I'm going to give it a shot when I get home and try it out for a few days before deciding to make the jump to Windows Mobile 6 on my PPC-6700.

Basically, according to him, a quick fix for sluggishness is to soft reset before the OS is customized after booting the unit for the first time. I asked for a bit more clarification, asking if he meant to:

"... after a hard reset, get the phone back to original state, and then right after the phone starts up (like, when I go through the tapping of the stylus on screen to synchronize my pen), do a soft reset and THEN really start using my PDA?"

And he replied, "Exactly! Carrier customization comes exactly as you described. You will typically see a message like 'Preparing to customize your phone' when you see that, hit reset.
If you don't see a diff or like it that way, you can always hard reset again."

So, there's something to try which I didn't know of before, and I assume some others may have not known this trick either.

One last thing, Sean also suggested making the jump to WM6 as it is better, but he suggested to make note of your handset's particulars and download the original ROM from xda-devs if you can find it (for details you just need the rom version info. It may well be that the updates from your provider are integrated right in the ROM, though that usually isn't the case)

Hope this helps out others. Thanks Sean!]]>Aug 31st 2007 3:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/cooked-winmo-6-rom-verified-for-ppc-6700-xv6700/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/cooked-winmo-6-rom-verified-for-ppc-6700-xv6700/Aug 31st 2007 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/cooked-winmo-6-rom-verified-for-ppc-6700-xv6700/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/cooked-winmo-6-rom-verified-for-ppc-6700-xv6700/
