A lot of people here have problems with their windows 6.1 and GPS. It seems some people have more problems than others, but someone on this forum has found a registry setting which solves my problem. At least until I soft reset my device, this causes the registry setting to go back to standard.
I’m talking about this post:

This solution helped for me:
The problem was in the registry of QuickGPS.
I changed the region settings of my PPC to Dutch, but QuickGPS doesn’t get this settings. So I assume it’s downloading the wrong GPS information.
After I changed the following registry setting I had a fix almost immediately :
[HKLM] - Software\HTC\QuickGPS\region changed from -- to NL
After using GPS Test I got a fix very fast.
Using:
Kaiser
OS DCS 1.4 WM6.1
R 1.64.06.04

Believe it or not but this works for me as I live in Holland but I think this could work for everyone who has problems regarding 6.1 and GPS no matter what radio you use. All we have to find out what the region codes are.
But this is a temporary fix, as I said soft-reset causes the setting to jump back to ‘--’ again and GPS is very slow whit the fix. Is it possible to create some sort of cab file or setting to set the region setting in the registry to user settings at reboot or wake-up? Or is altering QuickGPS also possible? If someone could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.

After thinking about this on my way to work, I came across the fact that since I use KaiserTweak it will set the default QuickGPS settings back, which of course has its region set to "--". So i'm assuming that's why when you reset your phone thats why it resets your settings again

Then I will look into the kaisertweak’s XML file and try to remove the QuickGPS settings and see if it works. Will keep you guys updated.
edit: Okay, this does not make any difference. So we have to find a way to set the user setting on every wake-up or boot. Does anyone know how to do this?

what do you mean "BUT AFTER YOU CHANGE THIS VALUE, FIRST REBOOT HAS TO BE DONE WITH SOME SOFTWARE, NOT WITH THE RESET BUTTON."???

QuickGPS runs as a service (a very annoying one if you don't disable the audio & popup and vibrate notification immediately ).
Have you killed QuickGPS via task manager before editing the registry and then soft resetting? (I use dotfred's, best task manager + utils proggie out!)
If the application is re-writing the registry constantly with the settings it started with, then that may be the reason why editing the settings doesn't work and why it also doesn't stick.
Give that a try...
Hope this helps!

Hi _Alex_,
Thanks for your input.
I did try that, but unfortunately it still does not keep the same settings.
What I did was soft reset, change registry, soft reset - Then I had noticed that it kept the settings, but then I did a complete shut down and power up and then again, registry settings were back to '--"
I'm using the standard ATT ROM and the wierd thing for me is that I used the GSP (TomTom) on Tuesday with no issues. I tried to use it today and am unable to connect at all to the GPS via TomTom, Google Maps, or QuickGPS.

But did you kill QuickGPS before editing the registry and proceeding to the soft reset? It runs as a hidden service, which is why I recommend using dotfred's task manager, because the standard HTC task manager might not show it running.

No, still did not work. But thanks for trying, and yea that task manager shows a lot of programs that you can't see running
If you use Alexs kitchen, i think you can edit the Rgu file under region to reflex where you are and cook the package back into your rom and it would always reflex the region you choose?
I've not tested it, but would a MortScript in the startup folder not do the job?
I made a little MortScript and added it to startup:
Code:
While (1)
Sleep (60000)
If NOT regKeyEqualsString ("HKLM", "Software\HTC\QuickGPS\", "region", "SE")
RegWriteString ("HKLM", "Software\HTC\QuickGPS\", "region", "SE")
EndIf
EndWhile
This works and keeps the "SE"-setting (for Sweden), but having the script running constantly isn't exactly optimal as it uses processing power and thus adding to battery-drain. Anyone have any ideas on a different way of making the script, which is more effective/power-saving? Or is there an even better way to make the registry key stick?
Hi all, after reading numerous articles about how to fix my issue with GPS, I've managed to find a fix using the UK radio rom compatible with Dutty's 6.1 rom. What I found out was the my first lock always never locked or took forever. So, what I did was go to the registry and left the key:
"HKLM", "Software\HTC\QuickGPS\", "region" to "--"
Then for the first time, after a hard-boot, (power off/on), I had to do this once:
1. Start up GPSTool
2. Change the setting to "Warm Start" and click "open".
3. Leave the app running and open up my TOMTOM application.
4. Give it about a minute or two and then it would lock, no problems.
5. I then, exited out of TOMTOM and closed the GPSTool.
So, for the next time I need to start a GPS, enabled tool, I would just start it up and no problems, it locks right away, until the next hard-boot. Then I would do this again. Kinda stinks, but this was the ONLY working solution for now because I don't feel like flashing my phone again. I have many apps installed and it takes forever to reinstall everything. Hope this was helpful for some people. Enjoy!
--edit
Well, looks like GPSGate fixed another phone... hehe, very happy now!! Thanks all for mentioning the program!

I don't understand the link between:
- the registry key "HKLM", "Software\HTC\QuickGPS\", "region"
- and what you said about GPSTool
In the end how do you solve the problem with the region ?
Chris
The GPSTool is built into the Dutty's 6.1 ROM. Don't get that confused with the GPSGate application. They are two seperate apps.
In order for this to work, I set had to set my the registry entry "region" from "US" to "--". The full path location is listed above. I think when I ran the QuickGPS utility, it set my region to "US" in the registry. You will have to regedit it back to "--" then try what I did, or it may not work. It didn't for me until I changed it back to default, which is "--". I remember reading somewhere here that a "warm boot" was clearing the RAM within the GPS hardware, so I played around with the idea of it running, while starting up a GPS enabled application and got it to work.
But I eventually decided to use the GPSGate application which solved my problem, without having to run the GPSTool method. Note that I got a quicker lock, after regediting the region area back to "--" and running the GPSGate application. Usually the first lock would never happen or take well over 10 min. Now, the first lock is with 1-2 min. which is fine for me and every subsequent time I need to use a GPS enabled application, it would lock right-away, within seconds, until the next hard-boot (power off/on). Hope that clears things up a little.

Hmm good solution now its takes less than a min to start tomtom. thanks.
Is this problem in all wm6.1 roms....Im certain that this is the issue with mine as once i downloaded data my fix was much more rapid then without (1.5-2.5mins, no tall buildings around clear line of sight). Any wm6.1 not have this issue??

Well If you enterd this thread, You probley figured out that we have a 6.1 T-mobile edition rom thanks to ND4SPD. How ever at the moment it is limited to a small group to test. At the same time I hate using the PM system when multiple ppl are testing anything. So I made a thread were WE (the TESTERS) can discuss and post fixes for this rom so we can get it released to you (THE PUBLIC) soon. I ask please, PLEASE, Do Not Post in this thread UNLESS you actually recieved the test rom from nd4spd. When a nonsence post is posted it makes it harder for us to concentrate on working on the rom when we are answering your questions.
#1 Question to be posted in this thread is...
Q. WHEN IS THIS ROM GONNA BE OUT ????????
A. AFTER WE FIX BUGS AND ND4SPD FEELS ITS READY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
##############################
On to the post.
What I have found so far..
1. HOME Messages Tab crashes NEO when enabled.
Installing my cab of 4.0 Arcsoft mms did not help this problem.
2. HOME My Faves App does not work, but My Faves settings will run.
I have not tryed to fix this.
3. HOME Notification Tab does not open the text its notifing you of nor does it dismiss the text by pressing dismiss
I have not tried to fix this
4. HOME Wap Shortcuts cannot find winwap or one of its components.
I think adding regisrty values for clinks instead of using the guid will fix this.
5. HOME Settings tab doesnt include battery display
Figured out why but dont have a fix. Im missing HKCR
6. Start Menu Recent Programs includes 2 shortcuts that do not work (Instant Messaging.lnk and Task Manager)
In conveinence untill you open 9 programs to get these off recent programs. These programs work when using the shortcuts in "all programs"
7. PIE Favorites & History when clicked open file explorer. instead of drop down menu.
I havnt looked into this. How ever ive had the problem before and its usually the html file being used.
8. WAP BROWSER says my homepage is unavalible (but the default t-mobile rom told me this as well)
I dont know if this is just my phone, Feedback needed.
9. UNLOCK SCREEN still does not show clock and date when set to
Seems like we are going to have alot of fun with this one.
10. HOME Getting Started is not displayed.
Simple menu added to the registry for neo will fix this.
11. PHONE Can not initiate call by dialing number and hitting send key. (have to hit center button on D-Pad)
I have no clue were to start looking on this one.
12. MMS Does not work
SMS Works fine.
--
I have not tested WIFI or BLUETOOTH
ND4SPD said neo is looking for arcsoft 4 but arcsoft 5 is on this rom wich is why the message tab isnt on the neo homescreen.

5. HOME Settings tab doesnt include battery display
The battery in the settings tab is not showing up due to the ID in the registry {634CA962-22D8-4671-BBC7-BAC47148A4B6}, When its switched to the wifi ID wifi status shows up on line 2 but the battery is displayed in the settings tab and opens power.exe when clicked. But when switched back to {634CA962-22D8-4671-BBC7-BAC47148A4B6} the battery display dissapears.

The html coding is causing the favorites and history drop downs from displaying correctly. This reg edit will fix this issue simply by using the default windows mobile homepage. wich is the same page but not skinned by t-mobile
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AboutURLs]
"version_0409"="[URL="file://windows//default_0409.htm"]file://\\windows\\default_0409.htm[/URL]"

shadowmike one of the biggest problems I am having is it locks up on the home page and did you nodes win going in to
internet explorer and hitting favorites or history it brings you to the windows folder
I think there are two ways of solving the problems:
The Easy Way:
Just use the wm6 OEM files and use all wm6.1 SYS files except CHome and ConfettiCore
This will get a working rom quickly but the problems we have now will still be there if we try making separate organized packages for each software.
The Hard Way:
Fix all these bugs one by one until assured to work and only then post a public rom. This means that the rom will take a longer time to release.
I prefer the hard way, but am open to the easy solution. What do you guys think.
btw, thanks shadowmike for making this thread. PM'ing was pretty tedious

Explain lockup ? as in freeze. And how do you get it to freeze ? Are you switching home screens and when you try to get to homescreen you cant ? what apps are you running on the rom ?
and #7
it just freezes by scrolling down it .well as there is so many bugs I am running no apps and by lockup I mean the home screen freezes so you can't scroll it but you can go to start and to other app but the home screen stays locked till reboot are you having the same problem if not I will try to redownload it and reinstall it... nd4spd did you work the bugs out of the new way of installing from the T-Mobile rom if so I will give it a go and I would like to see a stabile T-Mobile wm6.1 rom with out neo first thin work on this but you are the cook not to say I would use it I like the clean wm6.1 I have......i would like to see UC (user customizable) 2.0 Capable in the clean rom

I have not had your "Freeze", however since the shadow is underpowered. when i switch homescreens if i dont hit end call or the home button before it starts to load the homescreen i have to restart. however this also happend in the official t-mobile rom.
Small bug I noticed is when you set your calendar view to default to month (say), it still only opens to agenda view.
Not quite sure what received from nd4spd means but with a few hacks this is a great rom.

It means he pm'ed a few ppl a link to a new 6.1 t-mobile NEO homescreen rom.
From what he told me it was not publicly released... so if he did not send you the link to this rom and you have it. somone leaked it... thats what it means. basicly. I dont want ppl that dont have this test rom to come in this thread and ask questions and make this thread 10 pages.
How is the process going Guys.
well i decided to come back and work on this again.
im currently installing the rom. simply because i want to use the portrait camera. and since it works flawlessly in this version. yeah.
Yea Mike, what I been wanting is the original T-Mobile screen back.
Hi, not sure if anyone having similar problems or not.
Problem 1: I live in Sydney, I've set the time to GMT+10 Sydney, after a while, the phone automatically change the time setting to GMT+10 Vladivostok. Any idea how to fix this minor problem?
Problem 2: When I put my phone to stand-by mode (eg. after a while the phone's screen is off or phone automatically lock up), when some one send the sms to my phone, the phone does not play the warning sound for incoming message, until I turn on screen than the phone play the incoming sms sound.
Problem 3: Weather--- I've download the update for weather for the whole week. For example, on Monday night I've downloaded the weather, the screen showing the weather at night (for Monday), than On tuesday morning, the weather screen does not update to Tuesday's weather, it just stay for monday night's weather screen. Does Dimond automatic update the weather for each day base from the data which already downlaoded?
Thanks for you help!
ohh guys... how come no one can answer my problems??
1. happened to me also. i don't care if it is jerusalem+ or beirut+2. do you really care? for a possible solution see also post # 11.
2. somewhere in the forum there is a tweak (or a registry edit?) for this. i think there are ROMs with this bug solved.
3. you can choose to have the weather update manually or automatically.
weather/menu/settings/download weather automatically (thick for auto).
there not such thing like downloading the weather Monday for the whole week...the weather is changing (like when they said tomorrow-rain and you walk all next day feeling ridiculous with yr umbrella and the sun is shining ).
if it is important for you live it on manual and each time you sync with yr pc download the weather. is cheap and fast and daily.

If you ask me, it's a bit stupid that it changes the time zone constantly when you select to sync the time. By the looks of it, it always changes the time zone to the last item in that zone (Ulaanbaatar is the last item in +8).

Only way I have found to fix this is to go the Phone Settings area, Then Time Zones and turn off "Automatic change time zone and clock" . I had this same issue with my TyTnII and now my Diamond. My guess is the Telco Networks transmit the time as raw UTC along with an offset, but without a location stamp. Something like "it is currently 0230UTC and this location is GMT+10". It is then up to the WM6.x to go into its list of timezomes and I bet it just grabs the first in its list that is +10, so Vladivostok. Buggers up summertime offsets too.
Good news is if you leave this turned off the time will still get updated when you activsync by way of HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Clock\NetworkTimeSync.
Just that it wont automtically change when you move time zones for example.
I've set mine to off, I'll report back in a few days, sounds like it will be fine looking at previous post by Logger.

what I mean was you know when you hook up to the net and downloaded the update for the weather, the phone will update for the whole week's data. As soon as the update is done, the phone will show you the weather of the same day (the date you updated e.g. Monday), but the following day (Tuesday), the weather still showing Monday's weather and doesn't change the date Tuesday, but I know the weather for tueday was also downloaded (yeah I know the weather maybe is not up-to-date since was downloaded on Monday).

14.1 best IRC solution imho, is the HTC's own program. you can find the program and a few explanations here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3800829&postcount=183
this one should be used only after editing the registry as described in fix 13 or (as i discovered by chance) you can first install mskip's cab (the cab is going to edit the registry for you) and after that install the HTC's app found in the above link.

20-Work around HTC album half screen zoom problem! (thanks you oemie!)
The workaround is found in Flip_it (from the WildBerry Team)
In many roms Flip_it is already cooked in (i am using Miri rom so i had to install myself) so that is easy.
When you set Flip_it to rotate 0 and 270 degrees, and after that choose HTCAlbum.exe and also check 0 and 270 degrees then the problem is solved.
You can dubble tap on a picture in landscape and the picture is zoomed how it should.
I think till a real solution comes, this is the way..
21- Restoring the multiple snooze option in Notification Manager (thanks, biiig thanks to crackwhore and avimak)
21.1-crackwhore elegant solution for letting the graphically chic Notification manager but allowing multiple snooze options in the notification bubble is here (cab file):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3716251&postcount=2280
21.2-avimak's more radical solution for the ones that want to have again the option to get the command manger and volume control by clicking the top task bar:
If you're using Dutty X3 ROM (for sure not only Dutty's) you should have this files:
NotificationLayout.dll
NotificationManager.dll
replace them with text files having the same name. avimak's advice is to use non empty files (type yr name inside, for example) but i can say it worked even with empty files.

If you like what i did and you are under age go and play with your friends and forget about your PC and this forum for at least a few hours!
Great initiative, since the rom cookers dont collaborate no more we need such threads for us users, and rom cookers.
I hope this'll open eyes of the ones not sharing and not taking advantage of the bugreports here.

Mh, in some ROMs (Dutty 2.3 XTREME, Davideuck V-3 H.P., etc.) this issue is fixed but I think because of other sources and not a fix.
PS. Great Idea, but we have to add, for which manila, wm version the fix works.

In the first post, you better change the headline "More than 3 lines in SMS." because this is only for the input-field in outlook(!) by threaded layout.
Related to new manila ROMs "3 lines in SMS" imply the new manila SMS layout, which cut messages after some characters (normaly 3 lines).

thank you for yr help, much appreciated but please PM me so we'll keep the thread clean as much is possible.
Must be a sticky in my opinion,
Just wondering if any of you have come across this bug in Duttys V2.3 which I've posted in the thread but I've had no responses.
Maybe you are able to help?
I have restored the Programs Tab and the Old Start Menu. If I enter the Programs Tab the 2 soft keys at the bottom are All Programs & Remove as normal. But if I click on any other Tab, i.e. Weather etc All Programs & Remove remain as the soft keys. A soft reset returns everything to normal i.e. New SMS & Contacts in Home Tab. Only problem is everytime I enter Programs Tab they return to All Programs and Remove and stay this way until I reset again!
EDIT
Another little bug which appears once you have returned to the old start menu and restored the programs tab is if you open any program through the programs tab the start menu is automatically opened along with program??
Any solutions to either of these??
@fallen spartan
please, let's keep this tread for fixes (problems solved) and not starting a [email protected] thread. i am sorry, i do not have a solution since i am using the ROM with the new start and love it this way. the old start has only 7 entries, now we have 15 or more. i do think is an improvement
bluetooth AVRCP (remote control)
What about the bluetooth AVRCP bad egg, it calls the crappy media player everytime I press the buttons on my stereo headset, any fix for that ? just want to have the windows mobile normal AVRCP

No probs. Apologies
Contacts BUG (doesn't read SIM contacts):
(in Manilla 3 ROM Topaz/Rhodium; Davideuck_V-3_HP,OS 5.2.21014,ORIGINAL RHODIUM OEMs,[18-3-09, UPDATED]!!!)
TY for the new version; testing it atm.
1 big issue I ran into:
When I go to Messages, and create a New text message, then under Menu > Add Recipient; I can *only* select from my Contacts & Company Directory; but *not* from my SIM card.
Can anybody else see the contacts on their SIM there, or it's a bug? Personally, I want to keep my contacts only on my SIM, because it makes the flashing easier, and if my phone would break, I would still have all contacts on my SIM...

Many people asked to hide sim contacts in all the roms, in "old" roms too. So, in my rom they are hidden by default and there's ING_HideSIM_V_2_1 too.
Now, you can try a thing(I don't know if it'll work becouse I'm testing WM6.5 now, I'm sorry for this), change this reg key:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone
ShowSIM=1
P.S.: I'm sorry becouse I have no time in these days to follow the forum, but I'm busy with my "normal" life too

Thnx! Worked fine on WinMo 6.1
I have a feeling everyone knew this except me... but
If you are getting the double contact suggestion list with writing an SMS, you can disable the WM suggestions with the reg key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Inbox\RecipientAutocomplete]
"MaxSuggestions"=dword:0
Everything works fine for me after that.

Did you notice that softkey bar is diffrent between this screen and screens above?
Also, WM6.5 applications would not work on 6.5.3, because of dirrfent shell, you can assign OK/Close key to any hardware button and use it like a magic, it works in most cases

It;s fixed, it shouldn't appeatr, but if it does, try to find DeviceBeta entry in registry and change it to " "
Superb! Installing it now (64MB)
Will report if any more bugs found.

Two things noticed really
1: The expiration message pops up right after a fresh install (ImanD was right about this - please see attached pic)
2: After installing 64MB version, the RAM still shows as 14MB, is it right? or am I doing something wrong here?
More testing on its way.

I have to guess, what your problem is.
Search for Settings Network and switch from ISP to My Home Network.
Enter Advanced and check Proxy to 'connects to the internet'
Good Luck
Is it really a final version, because after a fresh install I got that message too. expires within 30 days.
The expire date shows when I enter the correct date exp. 2010-04-07, but if I let the date by default 2009-01-01 it doesn't show the expire message.

Hi! First of all, thanks for an awesom ROM. No issues so far, except;
ActiveSync? It's not working? I turned off the advanced networking function but that causes the device to lock up when connected.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a known bug?
