Activesync blues with the 1.40 upgrade... Ideas?

Hi guys!
I have seen a few posts from several of you regarding slow ActiveSyncs after upgrading to the latest ROM/Ext.ROM/Radio Stack, as available here.
I, too, noticed a HUGE slowdown while ActiveSyncing my device, right at the beginning of the sync... once things are moving along, it's okay.
Another problem I have is that every so often, it will start to sync, and then it will disconnect. I'll hear the chirps, but the green progress circle will still spin.
Anyone else have that?
Anyone discover any fixes?
Any ideas what's causing it?
Aside from that problem, so far the 1.40 ROM and standardized EXT ROM are going quite well.
I'd love to hear about what you've discovered regarding the painfully slow ActiveSync issue.
If there is another thread about this, please direct me... If not, maybe we could come together and find out what's causing this, and then perhaps we can solve it as a team.
Thanks,
Mike

If you are talking about AS via WiFI and how slow it is to make a handshake, you wont find any help here as far as how to fix this problem. No one on this board knows anything about it other than what is posted on the wiki.
I have tried upgrading and downgrading ROM, Radio ROMs, and cross grading. All kinds of ****ing ways and MS or O2 seams to just **** it up some how. Some ask you to upgrade to AS4, which in my opinion is really a downgrade because AS4 doesnt support WiFi.

Hey dude,
Actually I was just ASing through USB.
I seems like it's a lot faster now. It's picked up speed.
But sometimes it will drop the connection, so I have to take it out of the cradle and put it back.
Other problems lately are low volume, and I think my signal strength isn't as good as before.
I used to always get 40% sitting here in my basement. Now I am getting 20%'s and 30%'s.
I am excited to have the latest ROM and Radio, but the truth is, I think I was actually better off with the one that was shipped with the phone.
We'll see what comes out next...!

Actually, AS / USB works great on my unit and no disconnect at all. Do you have Wisbar Adv. installed? If so, what version/ build?
I can't comment on the signal strength since mine is always between 60 and 88% where every i go in the house.

Hey there,
Believe it or not, my AS is working flawlessly now.
No problems to report.
As for the signal strength and overall volume.. both seem to be a bit lower than before.
But it seems as if things are improving on their own!!

Wifi issue

Hi Guys
I have been on s many threads looking for an answer but can't see one. There are loads of posts where folk are using the special roms ( like summiters latest masterpiece) and are over the moon about them but the Wifi doesnt work.
Is there a cure?
thanks
bhayani

use edge/gprs?

i am using summiters latest and wifi is great ...
i was just watching live tv from a friends sling box

I do use gprs ( no edge for T-mobile UK)
I really need an answer to this.
I only allow myself time to play phones on the weekends and would like to get this working.
Is the radio rom the one that controls Wifi, If so it mmay be worth trying a different one
help much appreciated
bhayani

Ok

I tried getting answers from folk on here but wothout success.
I have just changed my rom to Mr Cleans UK T-mobile rom and the wifi flys!!!

WIFI on my P3600

Hi everyone!!
This my first post I've being reading these forums for weeks and I got impressed with all the knowledge around here,I've been trying out a lot of the ROMS and they're all great,like I said really impressed with the pros around here.
After trying out different ROMS from HTC,LVSW and MUN I still have the same issue with my P3600 or my router.Let me tell you about it.
Router WHR-G54S firmware from DD-WRT,different firmwares installed but the problem comes when I start setting up my wireless network,security WPA-PSK,Mac filter,SSID (hidden or not)either way,the P3600 with the same parameters.....everything seems to be beautiful and compatible and now is when the big issue starts,I get on line and the router seems to freeze,or just VOIP works,no surfing or maybe yes,online radio works or it doesn't,it's like everything goes on and off.After all this the other pcs can barely get online until a reboot the wifi router.
The device works really well when the wireless networks are open and it works in my house(whenever it wants)even with WPA,MAc filter etc...
So I don't even know what to do I tried everything,firmwares,resets,reboots,updates,different settings etc...
I know is hard but,does anyone have similar issues.
Thanks so much for reading this.
You'll have a great day

Is the wireless network b or g? Have you try the registry hack for connecting to 802.11g wireless networks?

It´s working
Thank you oracle40210 for your reply.
I double checked that option and it was on,what I did was when I was setting the wireless router thru the browser every little changed I needed to do I was rebooting the router,eventhough the changes were in the same part of the menu and now is working really well.
Thanks again.

GPS profile changer

Hi,
I am looking for an application that can automatically switch profile depending of your location (using GPS).
Does such application exist for WM6?
Thanks,

Yeah that would be nice.
I have tried CommMgrpro:
http://www.commmgrpro.com/
But I can't find out if it works on GPS too.
It work perfect on GSM.
But it seems to drain the battery way too fast.

The interface is terrible!
Far too complexe, I am not a .NET developer, I'll try to post that as a request.
So may be someone will figure out how to make a simple app...
Thanks,

I can't see the point, do you switch on GPS each time when approaching your office so it can select right profile ? Wouldnt it be easier to press an on-screen button to do that ?

You are right the GPS would have to be always on.
I was just using an application on symbian called miniGPS, it was doing exactly this but by using the GSM network. GPS would be far more accurate.

Are you sure this would be workable in practice given the high power consumption of the GPS?

As said above it is not gonna work with GPS, it will eat your battery super fast ... not a bad idea with GSM though ... I would definately be interested in such utility

Kaiser Wifi Performance

I user my Kaiser (Vodafone v1615) as a riggers remote with a theatrical lighting control system.
It uses wifi to connect and I was wondering if there is anyway to boost the performance/range of the wifi? (it uses a web browser to run the control interface)
I no longer use the device as a phone, it is purely used as a remote so I don't mind if any of the other functionality is impaired or if the battery life is shortened.
I guess that I need to try differnet radio versions or ROMs, can anyone point me in the right direction please?

i vaguely remember reading here on xda (emphasis on vaguely) that the wifi performance is NOT affected by the radio ROM version.
also, have you set your wifi Power Save Mode for "Best Performance" as opposed to the default "Best Battery" setting?

I think you are vaguely correct.

Hi, I am fairly new to XDA Developers, I am still trying to get up to speed with the best practice for playing with ROM's etc.
So other than setting "best performance" (first thing I tried), are there no other settings that the ROM cooks can play with? For example, there is already the best performance versus best battery life slider; has no one tried to allow whatever parameters are set for best performance to be "turned up to 11" to quote a certain metal band?
Any help is much appreciated. (My new phone is an unlocked HTC Topaz, if anyone can reccomend the best beginers route for ROMs etc for that I'd be gratefull- I had SPB shell3 on Kaiser which I loved. I like the Diamond 2 interface but prefer some of the SPB stuff)
Apologies for going off topic & off device.

Honestly, don't you think that would have already been done if people knew about it?

Like I said, I'm new to this forum and there seems to be many thousands of posts on what are essentially similar topics; making searching for answers a bit tricky for us noobs.
I try to search old topics on this subject but sometimes the best way to get results is simply to ask.
No worries if there's no positive answers to my query, just thanks to anyone who took the time to have a think about it.
I'm currently waiting for my old phone number to be ported to my new account on my Topaz and then I might be brave enough to try a few custom rom's on the Kaiser. (any reccomendations for someone who likes the SPB stuff?)

wifi riggers
I use my phone for exactly the same thing... in order to boost wifi i just bought a cheap router, placed it in the auditorium and then conect both devices to via dhcp... because the router has no internet connection i remove most of the security and set the router to only allow the mac address of the two devices.. has worked like a charm in all the theatres i have travelled to..
