Is the official TMo WM6 upgrade worth it? - HTC Excalibur

hey, I've been using the first beta wm6 for 3 months now, and it's been very good other than the slow ram/memory drain.
(17224.0.1.0) radio(4.1.13.34_02.79.90)
Since Tmo has released their official wm6 upgrade, i'm kind of skeptical about it. what has tmobile changed since. so far i'v noticed the official release has a differnt OZ messenger that doesnt support MSN
Let me know on some input
have they fixed the mapping of the keys when searching for contacts?
etc..

yep move to final asap, no point using a beta
Contact and email search keys are fixed
Push email over wifi now working
Nicer blue background on the home screen
One bug still remains though, if you open an email attachment such as a powerpoint slide show, when you return to email the list loses focus so the up and down buttons stop working. You need to close messages in the task manager.
I use the WM6 live messenger, not t-mobile's one.

There's so much information here on this... I guess there's no such thing as a stupid question, but...

IM client for Blue Angel

Agile crashes on my blue angel anybody know were to get a cab with OZ im in it?
Yea, there ya go: http://seamonkey420.tech-recipes.com/mda_wm5/zips/My_TMO_cabs.zip
sort of related question, are these the files which would customise the phone for T-Mo? I just saw a friends older HP phone from TMo and the Today screen had a bunch of stuff which was T-Mo specific - battery meter,call log, etc....I would like that!!!! :roll:
any idea if this would do? and is OZ IM better than Agile? I just installed that last night... :?
many thanks for any answers!

are you talking about the Win32 API error when trying to run it on WM5? I somehow managed to make it work on the latest logout rom but when I reflashed it and tried installing it a second time it gave the error again.. so far nothing I've seen is as good as agile..
Another Option...
Why not use IM+?
I have used it on both WM2K3 and WM5 flawlessly... built in support for Yahoo, AOL, MSN, ICQ, Jabber and GoogleTalk... and configurable for any other if you know the settings...
I've never tried IM+.
Have you ever though of using regular AIM? I wish there was an update to AIM 2.0 though, I love being able to custmomize my away messages. Its just that the vibrate feature does not work.

yahoo go and outlook with wm6

I am using Black 2.0. I love it btw.. Problem is with Yahoo Go (I guess ver 1; 2.0 not available)
Seems to work ok and lists/syncs emails however when I go to look at an individual mail all i see is a blank white screen. I suspect this may have to do with the outlook upgrade. Is anyone else experiencing this? I tried direct POP access and it works fine.

I rec'd the same issues when trying to use wm6 with yahoo go, i believe that yahoo go is only workable with wm5.
I am having the same problem.
I tried several WM6 ROM flavors and all have the same problem.
Black 3.0.1
Black Dymond
LVSW's latest
faria's latest
This is a known issue .. to-date, Yahoo Go does not work with WM6
Heh... did they finally release Go! for the Hermes family? Last I checked it said "not yet available for your WM5 device."

Never formally released, but you can pull a WM5 windows version off the web which works fine on the hermes ... unfortunately not WM6 yet (to my knowledge)
I've gotten Yahoo! Go to work with my WM6 device.
The problem everyone seems to be having is that when one goes into the message, a blank white screen appears, correct?
The same thing happened to me. So from that 'white screen' message, I scrolled to the next message, and voila! I could see my messages again.
I guess this wont work if you only have one email in your Yahoo! mailbox, but it's better than nothing, eh?

Thanks, is this 2.0?
Back on my Symbian, Yahoo Go was great. Not too much of a battery or resource drain. However on WM6, holy crap, it is a huge hog. I had it for a
about two days before I gave it up.
Since battery life is most important to me, I decided to stick with Windows Live instead.
Hi,
I'm from Malaysia and when I try to download Yahoo Go using my mobile number it says that the version is not available yet.
I'm wondering if someone could post the cab file here or somewhere where I can download to test it out.
Thanks.

Live messenger contact login sounds?

Long time daily viewer first time poster!
Question is; The new live messenger does not seem to have any sounds for contacts logging in, now i remember on my t-mobile wizard there was a registry hack which i think was a cab file that added the option in sound settings to change the login and type sounds pocket msn wm5....
However now using a Hermes running wm6 im wondering if the same thing maybe applicable using live messenger, is this not possible with the way the new messenger works. It would be nice to know when a new contact comes online, if your waiting for someone..
Not much about this anywhere but not much demand i guess? seems strange though to remove it.
I have not found the cab file i originally used to see if any registry keys may setup sounds but i guess live messenger is very different to pocket msn.
reg hack attached
wlm doesn't look or use this anymore
appears in sounds n notifications, but doesn't get activated or used.
yes I wud like the feature also.
I previously posted but got zero response...

Msn messenger shutting down when just running in the background. ?

Fresh hard reset actually two row, on Evo 6.5 3.00, ive never really noticed msn to shut down tho before, few times here and there but seem like now its happening more.. anyone know why mine seems to shut down when i minimize it and go on opera etc for awhile. ?
Thank'Z In advance.
I think i solved the issue i had a extracted SP Msn cab file i downloaded somewhere awhile ago and installed it over the 3VO 3.00 and now seems to stay online if anyone has this issue email me at XXXX and i can email u the cab.
Mod Edit: Edited out email address for reason mentioned
Might wanna attach the file and remove your email your opening yourself up to spam
Also means if other users have same problem they can just download, if problems uploading to site you can place on my 4shared.
well it just happened again.. so i dont think this solved the issue, Stylez.. do you know why this is happening. ?

Phone keeps hanging with 'Messaging' menu appearing

Hi All,
I'm a long time lurker and first poster - just want to say initially thanks for all the helpful hints, tips, software etc I've picked up from the forum.
However, I've recently got a problem that I can't seem to crack and wondered if anyone has any ideas. I've tried searching but to no avail.
Randomly (and often when browsing) 'Messaging' appears on the top bar (with 'Delete' and 'Menu' on the softkey bar (as if it had suddenly shifted to an email page) but the main portion of the screen remains frozen with whatever was going on before (i.e. the webpage, today screen or whatever). It'll happen a few times then Opera crashes, but it also happens with the phone on standby (not sure if Opera was still running).
If I hit 'Menu' then 'Reply' it comes up with the latest message from my Hotmail account. I'm running Windows Live as a push account I think it may be that triggering it when it starts to sync. Perhaps some sort of problem with Opera and Windows Live when they're both running?
I've not got any serious mods installed and didn't have this problem until recently. I've got the latest versions of Opera, Windows Live and have recently reflashed the ROM in case that was the problem but no such luck.
I'm going to disable the push email and see if it still happens then try uninstalling things to see if that stops it but any suggestions gratefully received if you've had a similar problem and have managed to solve it.
Brief spec:
WinMo 6.5 (latest official HTC ROM)
UK O2 network
Opera Mobile 10 Beta 2u (Ninja Duck enhanced, but it happened with the Opera official version too)
1% Battery mod
FInixNOverBatteryIconsOnly battery icon mod
sdkcerts for above
SmartPhone tracker (disabled - going to uninstall to check)
ive got the same issue with my stock att branded tilt2
hope someone knows whats causing this...
I'm now thinking it may be a memory shortage issue - last time it did it I checked on task manager and it said memory usage was 95%
It's only about 59% when I reboot so I can only assume that Opera or something is using an inordinate amount of system memory. No idea if that's it, though
HTC Imagio Too
Same problem with my HTC Imagio. Messaging just pops up randomly and for no reason. I believe, too, that it has something to do with the Hotmail push email, but it has not always done this, which is the real mystery.
I'm having the same thing happen. But when I hit the reply button, it just brings up a blank email with my address in the From line. I haven't noticed any increase in RAM though. To me, it's nothing more than a nuisance.
Same here, tmobile stock rom wm6.5.
But when I touch the center area the message tool bar goes away and I resumewhatever I was doing just fine, so I normally ignore this.
May have something to do with checking email. I don't have push (push for gmail still not good IMHO), but the phone is checking my two gmail accounts every 15 minutes.
I have this problem too, and can't stand it. Have push Hotmail via Windows Live, Sync "as items arrive" from 7am to 11pm.
I've also downloaded the HTC hotfix for SMS freezing (in case this is related somehow).
I searched for it and can't believe this hasn't been solved yet.
Same here.
I have had this problem since day one, about 5 months ago on my Tilt2. Grrr.
Same issue here.
I also have this issue.
I have observed this occur with 65% memory usage.
I can also confirm this occurs with POP3 email. I have 2 POP3 accounts and no push accounts.
It does not seem connection related, happens when connected via EDGE, 3G, & Wifi.
I am running an NRG wm6.5 ROM.
same problem here. was hoping to find a fix on here.
Same here, Verizon TP2 when I hit the messaging image, it just goes away. Using stock WinMo 6.5 rom with about 8 apps from OpenMkt. Device is pretty stable and other than above and very slow opening mail sometimes.
everyone has thais problem and no replies :-( I also have this problem
my phone freezes a lot when opening a new txt. I downloaded the hotfix sms fix from htc and when i go to install it it just says the hotfix is not compatible
I have a problem with mine regarding opening TXT messages in windows messaging app, not in the HTC txt app. When I close it, it just freezes then I have to hit the side button to reset....Anyone have a fix for this? Im running TMOUS windows 6.5
Same problem here. Although mine happens on both emails (pop and windows live) and text. Whenever I close any of them the messaging will pop up 5-30 seconds later.
Hopefully if we get enough people with the same problem someone will eventually find a solution!
EDIT: I'm running stock Verizon ROM with a couple minor mods (nothing that screws with messaging, other than the disable SMS sent popup)
Me 2
I too have the same issue with stock tmo 6.5 rom. I never noticed it with energy roms. I wonder if maybe he knows what could be causing this issue? Just an idea.
