Patrickem – I had the same problem and , silly as it sounds, I discovered that when I downloaded it using Firefox ( 3.5 ) it corrupted the file, but when I used IE ( 8 ) it worked fine.

Give it a shot!

Awesome thanks a lot. I messed around with microsoft live search and now the GPS works but another program vito find me will not work. Now all I gotta do is get that working and everything will be just fine.

^^ you can just pull up a name by saying their name.. but if you want to call… you have to say “Call name here” if they have several different numbers you can say Mobile, Work, home etc.. or it will ask you later..

What’s the deal with the voice command program? I liked voice speed dial soo much better. When I say a name it comes up but doesn’t dial the number. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to get that back on the tilt with winmo 6.1? Or is there another program like it?

Also I am having trouble with my GPS. Live Search will not locate my GPS position.

Other than that no problems yet, and I am using all of my old programs and they are working just fine

Still haven’t fixed the sound problem. Called ATT they’re sending me a replacement. The phone I flashed was brand new. I flashed the return phone with the update and I’m having problem getting apps to work on that one. I hope the replacement has 6.1 on it already.

I hard booted it (for the third time) and set it up using CWMX (for the fifth time) exactly the same as I’d done before and this time it works.

I really do wish someone would explain to me why on an AT&T device using the AT&T network to connect to an AT&T email account WHY this is such a pain.

I installed this right away without any problems. I even put all the programs back on my phone that I had before.: Kaiser Tweak, UI Tweaker, HHC home Customizer, Google GPS maps, Streaming Video, SpB Pocket Plus and a couple more. Not one problem.
I noticed the battery Life lasts a lot longer for me now. I even have all my setting for the backlights to kickoff aroun 5 minutes… I used the phone all day and still have 73% life…
Although I tweaked it with Kaiser, and I also dim the light..

But so far, no problems, no heating up and everything seams to work for me…

Just great! Finally got Skyfire, SRS WOW, even found Tcpmp(not working for flash). took me 5 hours to get setup. I had to call ATT because phone didn’t connect to internet. after all that….now phone has no sound! music,ringtones,sliding,etc,NADA! when I use the phone the sound comes out the speaker,even though it’s not on.

I can’t even get it on my phone. The device is connected to my PC and both my PC and my phone recognize each other but the software doesn’t. With seeing some of the issues, I’m kinda glad I can’t get it. Although, I was really looking forward to the threaded texts.

Ben… check out xda-developers forum. Seems like I did see a thread about TCPMP Flash video bundle for 6.1 or at least getting it to work.

I also got SRS WOW HD working from something over there. I don’t have that thread handy, but am pretty sure it had WOW HD in the title. There’s a post where someone included 2 files: a CAB and a ZIP with the CPL. Using that poster’s instructions, it’s working fine for me now.

Okay, I re-download update today. Reflashed. Skyfire isn’t working. Has anyone seen a TCPMP Flash video bundle for 6.1? The one I have isn’t. WOW HD Settings give me the error no drivers installed must close now. Finally what are the Customization Tools and the Customization Customize Tool? HUH?

Why is there so much less Storage Memory with the new ROM?

G. Edward Jones, for your email send issue, have you tried using “cwmx.com” as the SMTP server? (I also have both “Outgoing server requires authorization” and “Use the same username & password…” checked)

I had the same issue, until I found this on another forum. (ATT user forum, I think?) I don’t recall reading this anywhere official, so if it’s in a manual, I sure missed it.

Whether or not this fixes it for you, this is pretty stupid to have to do, IMHO. That is, this fix and any other basic setting, install CAB/fix, etc. that folks have to hunt high and low through various forums to figure out how to make something basic work…

Installed it last night. Promptly bricked my phone trying to restore my contacts and IMs from Sprite. After I got that sorted (that is to say, my stuff is still not restored, but my phone works). I found out that I can’t send email through BellSouth’s SMTP server. This seems to be a pretty common problem with 6.1 (regardless of carrier) and, as far as I can tell, no one has an actual solution.

So, that’s awesome.

I can get email, but I cannot send it.

Great.
