I have CID Unlocked my 8125 and upgraded numerous times. In my playing around with the roms and Cingular Ext Rom cabs i found an intersting abberation. No matter what Rom I use if I the cingular 1.08 extended Rom cabs and install them on my 8125 and Run one cab in particular. it is the Signed_gprsstall.cab.sa. Then I flash my radio ROM twice. I then have 4 bars of reception just about anywhere i go. For example on of our stores we normally get 0-1 bars of reception, but when i do the above mentioned process I get 4 bars at the cost of a little more battery power. But when i do this I cannot use the wifi. I click on the wifi icon in the connection manager and it thinks for a little bit then goes back to the icon with the x in it. Anyone got any ideas?? Like the extra power but want to use wifi.

I seem to remember sumitter mentioning something about him leaving that particular cab out of his ROM's due to that WIFI issue...

I have been searching for days on wifi issues. I tell you the trade off is almost worth it. I find it very interseting quirk how the wifi doesn't work but the reception of the phone is increased. I wish i knew more about it to find out why it happens like that.
I don't use Wifi at all having unlimited data tariff, and the reception where I live is absolutely terrible- most of the time no signal at all.
Is it possible to install that cab and then uninstall it somehow without the hard reset? If I need to use wifi abroad etc.
Could someone please post it here?

If you go to the FTP and go to wizard page and the Extended Rom. Look for the Cingular_8125_108EXTROM. download it and unzip it and look for the Signed_gprsstall.cab.sa. You will then have to falsh your radio twice. I reccomend Summiters 2.17 and then the wizard 2.25. I have not been able to figure out how to disable it through the registry. I don't know what settings that it is playing with. Each time i had to hard reset to remove the problem.

Too much hassle with hard reset and reinstalling everything...Can't be bothered then, even for improved reception...
Noone calls me anyway

Drives me nuts. I never use wifi but i always want everything to work perfectly though.
I found the file that causes the conflict but have not been able to remove or correct it. When you install the gprsstall cab it installs a file rilgsm.dll. When i renamed it through the active sync for a brief moment the wifi appeared again until Windows automatically duplicated the file and put it back on.
This is a very sad thing!
I have my Tilt (thankfully got the defective one replaced!) and I set it up to sync with my exchange 2007 server which should be push e-mail. In fact I know it is....
On the AT&T stock rom, it stays connected 24/7, never goes offline which is what it's supposed to do.
I get home, flash on the HTC ROM. Set up the partnership with my server, and I look, an hour later it's offline, showing last synchronized 45 minutes ago. I hit sync, it syncs, stays online for maybe ten minutes, then the same thing.
I've tried every cooked ROM too, same deal.
When I do manually sync, it doesnt try to connect to the network, it's already connected. I was wondering if the network settings may need to be tweaked...?
I've already tried adding an exclusive in task manager for activesync.
I'm using a Tilt and on AT&T.
I'm really going to be upset if Im locked to the AT&T rom just because the other ROMS dont handle active sync properly...and I can't beleive that the stock HTC rom has a problem like this...so I'm wondering if the network wizard may not be entering all of the proper settings...
Oh, and as a side note, this is my second Tilt, the first was defective, it it exhibited the exact same behavior. AT&T ROM stays connected properly, non-stock ROM disconnects....
Any advise? I dont want to be stuck with AT&T!
I'm wondering if it's you. it works fine for thousands of other people, and for you, 2 phones it's been "broke"
I had my phone disconnectng from active sync. It didnt bother me in the least because I'm not updating my phone but maybe once a day, i really dont care if it disconnects every 15 minutes. After I found out it was my USB hub, it's worked perfectly ever since. And I never once blamed the phone.
Hey now...no need for any snippy tones there...
I was asking for help here, not looking to be blamed as the source....
Exchange 2007 is supposed to remain totally connected 24/7....and it isnt. And Ive been able to recreate the problem on two separate devices....
So just looking to see if anyone else had had the same.....

You must admit - this statement boggles the mind. You expect AT&T to replace a device because it only works right on their network with the software they shipped on it? Umm, that's their whole EXCUSE for shipping custom ROMs and you're busily proving them right....
It's obviously too late to ask you not to return a hacked device as "defective" and f$ck it all up for the rest of us, but please don't do it again!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your actual question would probably better be phrased as "Anyone on AT&T managing to keep ActiveSync continuously connected to Exchange 2007 with non-AT&T ROM?"
Not at all...I actually had a boat of other problems with my first Tilt..I did not in any way return it because of this problem...
Im not daft...I would never go back to AT&T and ask them to replace something because I monkeyed with it and broke it...
My scroll wheel stopped working along with my GPS....which is why I returned it...after restoring the AT&T ROM back onto it.
So...I will just drop this since it seems as if nobody actually can listen to my problem and offer up solutions,but would rather take potshots at their impressions of my behavior.

No offense, but if you write more clearly you will be misunderstood less.
the first was defective, it it exhibited the exact same behavior doesn't read many other ways than "I returned the last one for this problem".
i gave you a suggestion to start looking at. AT&T and us posters arent out to get you. trust me.
this may sound kind of obvious, but did you check your sync schedule in ActiveSync? Make sure it is set to as items arrive.
I have my activesync working fine with Exchange 2003 on AT&T's network.
Only other thing I can think is if you have KaiserTweak set to disconnnect GPRS automatically after X amount of time.
I have the same problem with mt Tilt. If I use the ATT ROM it works fine but if I move to one of the HTC ROMS I get that problem with Activesync disconnecting from the Exchange server.
I had the same issue on my 8500 with some of the cooked ROMs. On that device the ATT ROM and vp3G's ROMS worked fine (except for one of his; the hybrid I think).
For now I'm just sticking to the ATT ROM and pray vp3G gets a Tilt so he can start making ROMs for our device.
If you don't want all the ATT bloat installed then hard reset and then just hit the soft reset button when it pops up saying it going to customize the device in 3 seconds.
me + kaiser + htc rom + exchange 2007 + at&t network = working just fine

Psy....
THANK YOU!
At least Im not nutso...
I am using the clear AT&T ROM which actually runs very well...its just the customizer in me that needs to make things better even if they arent broken!
Everybody else...sorry if we got off on the wrong foot with this thread...
Start fresh?
I wanted to throw an update out there....
My desire to figure this out got the best of me, so Ive been pretty much just flashing and experimenting for the last few days, and I think I may have actually figured this out....
It looks like it IS something to do with the network wizard. I pulled out a cingular settings cab from my hermes days. Flashed on the HTC rom, cancelled the network wizard, install it, and my AS has been connected for hours and hours. Did the same with one of the new cooked ROMs, same thing. So it looks like something just isnt quite right with the network wizard when it puts in the AT&T settings....

Nice work! What I've done to track this kind of thing is to use DotFred's TaskManager and export the *entire* registry before and after, then use a "diff" type utility to compare the two. Some obvious timestamps, etc, always change but it's usually pretty apparent where the change(s) were.
Might be interesting to do that between your working config and the wizard's config and see if there's just one or two settings different....

I wonder what all there is in the cab file? I haven't tested it on my Tilt but on the 8525 if I canceled the customization and inputed the network settings myself it didn't stay connected.
Where do I get a copy of this cab file so I can look at it?
I'm attaching the cab for the settings....been working like a champ for over a day now, so Im going to call this issue resolved in my book....
rsoloman,
Sounds like a plan...there definitely has to be something different between the AT&T settings both in the cab and included in the AT&T ROM versus what comes with the network wizard......
Sounds like a scooby doo mystery to me!

Well, personally I'm happy on the AT&T ROM, so it will take someone else running the .reg file extractions. I'll be happy to help analyze the two, but right now it won't be me extracting them
Richard
For the record I'm using a tilt flashed to HTC ROM on at&t without any AS problems running Exchange Push.
I always manually input the at&t settings though.
Mine actually worked fine both the stock AT&T rom and the HTC rom. I just started having this problem with duty's touchflo tilt rom. The cab posted here did not make any change for me. Any other suggestions?
ActiveSync BOOSTER
Is there a way to boost up speed of Sync
Is there a any software or Cab file for it ?
Also want to know after we sync Phone
It keeps repeating to sync, is there a way to stop it ?
With removing the phone
Please Help
Does anyone else have this issue? I set up 3 or 4 speed dials, when I next try them, maybe a day later, they don't work... they've all vanished again!
Anyone have any ideas why?
Did you get an answer for this? I have the same problem. What rom are you running? I'm running Duttys v4
No not yet... I have the original Orange ROM I think. I guess this maybe means its not so much ROM related as Kaiser related?
Well until I flashed my rom to duttys v4 this didnt happen. Ive run a couple of other versions of duttys roms and this hasnt been a problem. i have read a few posts on the v2/v3 thread saying that you need to turn on touchflo through the ftouchfloconfig and then use the cube to add your speed dials. obviously this doesnt apply to you as your not running a rom with the cube in it but it didnt work anyway.
I wonder if its related to the radio? I wouldnt have thought so cos i believe the radio only deals with calls, wifi etc but just noticing were both on uk orange and I still have the original radio (1.27.12.29), which radio are you running?
Anyone have any ideas on this??? its pissing me off now!
load your speed dials thru your cube. power down power back up. all fixed.
Great that worked thanks. I could have sworn I'd already tried that. Oh well, im an idiot! Any ideas why it doesnt work on AndyCr15's device? He has original orange rom. You could always just flash it I guess, original Orange rom is ****e anyway compared to the custom roms you can get on here.

To be completely honest. I have no idea. I am not familiar with the orange roms.
I have no problem flashing my device, I did it several times with my old Universal. Can you advise what would be a good one for me? I tend to prefer simple but fast ones.
one of duttys lite roms then in that case. ive only tried duttys but from what everyone says, theyre the best anyway. make sure you only flash your rom and not your radio or get your phone sim unlocked cos theres problems with blocking the phone when flashing radio on orange phones. theres a thread on flashing orange kaisers somewhere on here. and if you go to the dutty v4 thread you should be able to find the link to all his roms and other cab files in the first post.

I just got an ATT tilt yesterday coming from a 8525. For the life of me I cannot update rom with wm6.1. From what i found is that if I do a hard SPL I will not be able to go back. Not good. Even with out hard SPL I still cannot update. I've looked around and tried differant things for about three hours last night. Even with stock Rom I'm not able to use my phone to access internet thru my computer. Cound not find internet sharing. What I did find in connections tab did not work at all.

Hmm where to start. Ok so are you flashing a ROM from this site? Because if so, then you have to do the HARD SPL thing.
I've never got on my phone and tried to use my computers internet. Sounds silly to me.
Yeah really this post doesn't make a lot of sense.....
Internet sharing (on a tilt) is in the windows folder and has to be ran from there. This allows your computer to get on the internet through your phone (oposite from your above mention)
I think you need to read more, because you don't seem to have the basic understanding of things. Or maybe you need to explain a bit better. One or the other.

If doing a hard SLP is gona void my warranty by not letting me revert back if I need to then its not worth it to me. I use internet sharing with my 8525 to my laptop that means when im going down the hwy I can stream my sling box to my laptop or download music from limewire. With the Tilt they use wireless modem found in Connections tab. Its not working for me. Nothing is happening. I've flashed my 8525 countless times with no problems.

you can always revert back to stock spl and rom even after flashing ... please read the kaiser wiki
it's obvious that reading isn't something you do or you would have read.

And understood that your method is wrong and that is why I outlined the correct method.
Problem on doing hard SLP
I downloaded hard SLP v1 watched yoytube clip. I do not get the tri colored screen. My screen stays white for ever. Thats my problem so far. I like the phone but want wm6.1
search white screen, it's a common problem.

Hi there,
Sorry if this a retarded question, I can't find anyone else that's asked.
Basically my unbranded Touch Pro 2 has in the data connection settings the default selections of UK and then TMobile.
What i need to know is, on these cooked ROMs will that setting still be there? If not where do i get the settings to reenable my data.
I'm going to do the HardSPL and flash thing tonight for first time. I'm a little aprehensiveso just wanna make sure I don't install some flashy ROM but lose my 3G browsing.
Thanks to whoever can set my mind at rest.
I have an unbranded tp2 on tmobile uk from expansys, connection settings with custom roms bring up tmobile uk. It did when i was flashing Kaiser roms.
Having trouble at the mo with mms on the current rom I've flashed but gonna do a bit of searching tonight to sort that.
(need to update my sig from kaiser to tp2)
cool, good to know someone else with sam setup. mine is from mobilephonesdirect.
I don't send a lot of mms, but what is the known issue?
Also were there any complications for you or a smooth install and Hardspl flash?
cheers
I think maybe we should take this to pm to keep the forum uncluttered? check your inbox.
@dazkeirle
My unbranded TP2's on T-Mobile and from MobilePhonesDirect too!
OK I was all up for flashing last night (HardSPL) but lost my bottle when i came to something which was not mentioned.
When i first started tot run the program, with my phone in an activsync connection everything was normal.
Then when i click Automatic flash, then ok on the next screen (before the screen with the picture of the TP2 on it) my TP2 goes into a kind of dead mode, black screen no lights.
Now i think this is normal from what I've read, but the weird thing is my computer indicates here that the USB is dropped and activsync disconnects, however some other drivers are then installed and the phone is sort of still connected (although that isnt indicated anywhere).
I was nervous as activsync was not there so hit cancel, did a soft reset on phone and all was still normal (preflashed state).
Please can somebody confirm that activsync only is there at the start and that the activsync will disconnect after you hit ok, it's not explicitly defined in the tutorial and I'm nervous of bricking handset.
Thanks
