WM6 Connection Manager, any better? - Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading

Can anyone running WM6 comment on the Connection Manager (also affectionately known as the Connection Mangler).
Is it any better than the old WM5 one or just the same?
And I mean the Start/Settings/Connections tab/Connections icon, not the HTC CommManager.
Thanks

Looks the same to me

WM6 upgrade made my data connection drop... Provider: Rogers Wireless

Phone: Htc TyTN
Basically I upgraded, and everything went well, using radio 1.43 and vp3g's wm6 rom...
Phone works very well compared to the previous 1.2x radio and now it shows "Edge" in the connection instead of "G" like it did previously...
The only problem I have is my wireless data connection no longer works...
I have 3 other TyTN's that are setup with the factory default configuration, so if data is required from them in order to setup the new one, it can be attained.
I have noticed that while using vxutil on both the new rom and the factory one, the "cellular line" modem adapter entry looks fine, all ip's are good, but there is a second one on the wm6 device, it says "cellular line 2" and this does not exist on the factory unit.
Also using the vxutil "get hmtl" function on the wm6 device works fine, it will successfully retrieve html, but when I try to browse with IE it does not work and hangs on "locating...".
Any suggestions?
Possible solution
Go to Start - Settings - Click connections in Connections tab
Create a new connection under My Work network as per instructions from ur service provider
Saved Connection ? OK!
Click on Connections again - There would be 2 tabs - Tasks and Advanced
Click advanced
Click "Select Network"
Check both the network selected are "MY WORK NETWORK"
OK
Soft Reset ur device
and u r done!!
Good Luck

nope, still the same problem...
I tried exporting the registry settings for the connection manager from the working TyTN to mine and it wouldn't even connect to its voice service after!
;0
I'm sure there are some specific settings in there that need to be changed (hklm\comm\comnnmgr\providers ??), I noticed that alot of the settings are for cingular...
I've got the same problem. i'm with t-mobile uk. any advice welcomed.

found out what it was!!
I had used the first rom I came across, the vp3g with the cingular extended rom!! doh.
I just installed pro_black_3.0.1 and the newest radio 1.4.7, setup my connection as per my provider's suggetsion, and everything works 100%!!
i get 2900kbps when i'm on 3g and about 140kbps on edge, call quality is pristine and the time to live on a call is instant compared to my 1.3x radio!
highly recommended for anybody on rogers using a TyTN!! (rogers is starting to retail it now for 299$ with a contract!!)
[continued...]
1) back up everything using PPCPimBackup or similar
2) upgrade the bootloader to hard-spl-v7
3) upgrade your Radio ROM to 1.47.00.10
4) upgrade your System ROM to pro_Black_3.0.1
5) setup your rogers wireless internet connection:
cellular 3g, gprs
access point: internet.com
username: wapuser1
password: wap
6) re-run pimbackup and restore your contacts/schedule/emails/etc
7) laugh at others who are still using the rogers wm5 build from mid 2006 and the 1.3x radio that came with it.
haha funny do tell me if ur name display works with WM6

lol, no everything works fine.
1.48
Actually- Radio Rom 1.48 works very well- I've been using it for a few days now. Good battery life (I recommend using a comm-manager or data app to kill HSDPA during idle standby because it does make it run out faster)
1.48 really grabs a signal and holds it- good voice quality too.
But- truth be told- 1.42 that came with it was probably just as good....
If your phone was hanging on Locating and you were using the VP3G ROM, you probably didn't disable the proxy.
VP3G cooks ROMs for AT&T use and AT&T use a proxy to connect to the internet. Rogers does not.
Theres a simple program in Programs/Proxy Manager just run it once and presto.... proxy gone and wifi as well as Rogers works fine.
Its well documented in the wiki as well.
I've used the Black ROMs and the VP3G V3 is far superior in speed and stability. Black has lots of bling but seems far to experimental for serious use.

DUN and BT DUN profile for Athena?

Is a well known problem since WM5 AKU 3.0, DUN disappeared (Dial Up Network, using WM as remote modem, via Activesync or BT)
Any TOM TOM Go and TOM TOM One, (not used by ATHENA users, we have our GPS) need IT to be connected with the PDA. In some cases DUN could be usefull also for Athena users, but it was removed from latest WM5 and WM6 Rom (the majority of Nokia and Sony smartphones have it)
Now someone here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1351044&postcount=21 posted the .cab to restore it on a TyTN.
Sleuth put it on his new rom, I've tested on my X7500 (HTC WM6 rom) and I am having some config problem on the USB side...
My be it could be interesting also for some ATHENA user
tried on my touch and tried to dial from my athena with *99# and didnt work..
Maybe I'm missing something, but why don't you set up a modem in Settings > Connections > Connections > Tasks > Add a new modem connection? Just need an APN, user name and password, which vary depending on your ISP (I have AT&T). Modem string and *99# no longer necessary.
If you want to use your Athena as a modem for your laptop, either through a USB or Bluetooth connection, just use Internet Sharing under Programs.
im trying to share between ppc to ppc ...
hy,
I cannot connect athena100 to tomtom go910.
I upgrades WM5 to WM6, I installes BT_DUN, tries several ways, but it doesn't work, I always got a message of DUN-connection problem;
I managed perfectly well on touch, but I have no succes with atnena100;
could you help me?
I'd say use wmwifirouter for this. It will work perfectly for internet sharing with about anything around you over usb BT or wifi
Thank you Astain, but I need a DUN-connection because TomTom does not use ICS.
Do you have a solution for that?

Internet Sharing via USB Cradle with Wallaby?

I would like to use the Wallaby as a modem: It connects to the internet and allows my pc to use that connection. With the HTC Hermes and WM 6, this is easy: I just use "Internet sharing", and then the Hermes connects to the internet (using my GPRS internet connection) and everything works. Just, I have not yet found a similar feature for the Wallaby. I am using some kind of ROMKitchen's version, but it does notprovide the same feature. I have a program called "wireless modem" which allegedly does the same, but it does not (apart from the fact that it only works via infrared).
In short, I would just like to use the Wallaby with WM 2003 in the same manner as a modem for my pc as the Hermes.
1. Is there any freeware available in order to accomplish this goal?
2. would an upgrade to WM 2003 SE help?
Thanks for any help.
Michael
internet sharing that you are using on your hermes is only available in wm5/wm6 and as you cannot upgrade the wallaby to wm5/6 then i am afraid you wont be able to use this feature on the wallaby.
Thank you very much for answering. There is no software-based alternative available, either?

Rudegar , that link describes how to share the internet from the pc to allow the wallaby internet access.
What michael here wants. is to have internet access on his pc via the wallaby. As i have already said though i doubt anybody has even bothered developing internet sharing on the wallaby, i would hate to imagine the slow speed you would get from a wallaby
no only the first one is about that

Which is the configuration for the phone for WM 6.1?

I have tested diferent wm 6.1 versions with radio 1.57 and I am having some strange problems with communications (seventime lotus notes push mail) due problems with the radio and on the other side the symbol of the communication type Gprs (G, 3G, HSDPA) only appears times. I think is due the band selection. I have been trying to change from Auto to the other option but no way, time it words (symbol and comunication when on gprs) and times not.
I think is due rom-radio are not really designed for Europe networks.
Does anybody found a solution?
You already tried AP4 and 5 beta. Network Wizard from this ROM is the best.
I found the AP rom give me better band switching than others.
Maybe problem is in radio 1.57 and not rom issue.
What about using radio 1.50 ?

Getting the DUN profile back into Athena WM6 ROMs

Hello,
I am currently trying both http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1351044&postcount=21 oand the description on http://thinkabdul.com/2007/09/22/ha...ng-dun-profile-on-windows-mobile-6-pocket-pc/ to get the DUN profile to work on my official HTC WM6 ROM (German) on the X7500, however, the DUN profile does not show up whatever I tried.
From what I researched, the bthatci.dll has a hardcoded reference to COMx: (where x comes from HKLM/Software/Microsoft/BTHATCI), but HKLM/ExtModems/bluetooth_dun points to BSP3: (BSP=board support package? function not implemented?). However, I cannot patch bthatci.dll because it is digitally signed by MS and I cannot get it to install via a self-made cab.
The BT DUN profile is important to me because the TomTom Rider motorcycle satnav system cannot use the PAN profile (network sharing).
Anyone able to help?
Greetings,
Andreas
did you find the solution, i'm also trying to find a solution for this
Hi!
The latest version of WMWiFiRouter (1.51) has this functionality (as well as many other futures). Not only it can share 3G\HSDPA connection over Bluetooth, it can even share USB connection over WiFi
WBR, Draco.
Thank you Drakosha, but this uses ICS I think, and the problem is that TomTom Go uses only DUN !!
I tried this WMWIFI, but it didn't work.
Or do I have to uninstall the BT_DUN?
I'm confused ...
