Did you let the entire customization happen? Or did you selectively install stuff from the extended rom?

Entire customization--no hacks until I learn more.

Your adventure on TreoCentral had me lusting for a 700--not anymore! Glad you emerged standing tall

I must admit, the speed boost brought on by this rom is really reall nice. Are you sure it's an active session that your call interrupts? White bars?

I posted earlier about the ActiveSync button being disabled in CommMgr. I see it's active when connected via USB. Curious... Also, as soon as I unplug, the phone dials #777. This is probably a result of having DirectPush enabled. BTW, DirectPush was apparently enabled by default when I installed the cert and set up to sync with my Exchange Server (2003 SP2).

Yep, white bars--I'm 100% certain a phone call interrupts EV-DO with my unit.

And you have the new ROM update installed? If so then my guess is that you didn't install (or only partially installed) the extrom. Can you confirm this?

EVDO seems to connect right on startup. Odd.

Oh OH....nice find:

\HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting

Change the option HiddenPreferenceMode from 1 to 0

Then go to Phone, Options, and check in the list. You can now change the preference of operation. You have 3 choices, Hybrid, EVDO, and 1X

AND THIS.

When I stopped browsing a page (EV arrows are grey, but am still connected) I get the call AND it drops my connection, so I have to reconnect on my laptop... WModem on the 6700 drops the yellow connection box when the call rings in, even if you hit ignore.

Oh wtf...I didn’t touch my 6700 and left WModem up and after getting Disconnected because of the incoming call, my network status on my computer still showed me as being online but I couldn’t browse, it wasnt reconnecting like it used to do. So I right-clicked and disconnected my USB WModem (CDMA) once I did that the WModem on the 6700 went back into connected mode, the EV icon changed back to the arrows and the yellow connection box was back. I had to reconnect my Dial-up connection like I would if I was connecting for the first time.

I dont know if this is different if you use the Windows WModem to tether. I am just clicking the one listed under my Network connections and having that dial.



--

Ok did another test. I connected with the WModem that came on my 6700 CD for windows. Connected and was still unable to get the call while sending/receiving data. Stopped the data and arrows went into grey, call rang in and picked ignore and was still "kicked" offline. Did this once more and instead of Ignore I hit the hang-up button, it seemed to not work the first time I hit it, as the phone didn’t stop ringing so I had to hit two more times, but I was still "kicked" offline.

Looks like its back to the old 6600 ways I really hated that, I liked getting having my calls come through and still stay connected.



I did a Full install and let all the cabs install.

Have not changed any reg settings yet..

See my post above.

Does it drop your EV connection once you pickup or hangup the call?

It never did this before, i could be downloading a file get a call, and not able to go to any site while the call is coming in. Hit ignore or hang-up and my download will contiune on like it hadn't been disconnected.

I have a sneaking suspicion that it's one of the cabs that install. However, I dunno, before the ROM upgrade it would interrupt the EVDO session.

BTW, does anyone know what DDTM is and how to change it?

Yep the Old Rom would interrupt EVDO. That was the first thing I noticed after switching from the 6600 tot he 6700

Thought it was an upgrade or 'fix' they did in WM5

First, to clarify, I wasn't teathered when reporting results earlier. I've never teathered the 6700 as I have a data card, too. I was streaming data when testing, and the call interrupts the streaming and the streaming resumes when the call ends.

Mine is also not disconnecting EVDO for an incoming call. I did not install all of the Ext Rom.

[edit] I was streaming a movie over Orb when this occurred [/edit]

Maybe we should compare #3282# information?

I'm gonna try a reset from ##786 to clear out my MDN and everything too. Let's see if it works.
