Upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.1!

All,

A day before had downloaded the 6.1 version from xda forum. I was very eager to flash it on my phone (HTC S620) however due to circumstances couldn’t. Well today in the morning I did! Those 10 mins of upgrade, let me tell you, are thriller! Your phone is no fragile at that time, after I hit the “Go” button, I was 3 feet away from the laptop and phone. I wouldn’t allow anyone to get near!

So here are the crux of the experience.

Improvements:

  1. Homescreen

  2. Overall menu navigation

  3. Zippy execution

  4. Variations in alarm clocks

  5. Flash! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

  6. M$ Voice Command

  7. M$ Office (Cant create all the kind of docs)

  8. Foxit PDF Reader

  9. Audio Manager: Audio Quality has improved(may be due to better codec).

  10. Better Task Manager

  11. FTP Over Bluetooth (However I have written my own application of FTP over WIFI :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: )

Some shots of the same for you folks.

Ohh yeah! totally forgot after the installation, one needs to install Tegic eT9 US English.CAB in main memory to fix a small keyboard issue. Post that this small dude rocks!

Gr8, will look out to get my P3300 updated on weekend. Is it also available thorough in-built windows updater ?

I ve it flashed for a month now :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

That reminds me…need to update my sig :face_with_tongue:

Any body tried to flash a P 3400 to 6.1

Has anybody tried to install the CUBE on a non-Touch device

i have flashed Shadow 2.1 ROM sinc feb.. it rocks! WM 6.1 threaded sms is the best feature…

Ahh no, its a modded version.

I have the same one (P3400) .. looking to flash it to wm6.1.. does anyone know how to ?

I’d upgraded my P3400 to WM6.1 a month ago i guess.

Plus points
Much faster
looks slightly better

Cons
i’m unable to connect to my PC’s net via usb now. (want to use that and net via bluetooth badly)
I do NOT like the threaded sms feature

I’m thinking about downgrading to WM5 :expressionless:

Well, i hate that feature.. cant delete messages that easily

Woah! U hate that feature? Hmm interesting!

Flashed a Touch Dual a month back. Can’t compare with v6 as I hardly tried that. Flashed it straight out of the box as I had read about the improvements.

Btw, the Dual was a friend’s piece! Crappy video. It seems the discrete graphix does not work as HTC has not provided proper drivers for it. A patch for proper utilisation of the graphic chip was supposed to be launched in April after lotsa complaints and threats of a class action lawsuit from Dual owners :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: . Will have to check up on it.

well, its possible i might change phones later on, so i want my messages to be intact.. this threaded message thingy scares me because already a secondary group sms software is not recignizing my inbox now :frowning:

ahh hmm I understand now…I backup my SMS when flashing, however havent felt the need to read from them, so no problem… they are there if I need them though.

@vince: u can easily turn off the threaded sms feature via a registry editor !

Have done it on my Touch ! Look @ xda.

^ thanks for the heads-up.. i found it.. it works :slight_smile: i’ve tried that Modesms thing

Now ONLY if i could get that internet from my PC working via usb, i’d be one happy guy :frowning:

You are welcome buddy ! :slight_smile:

About the internet from pc.. works like a charm for me !

Whats your Network Settings on the phone like ?

Set it to “My Work Network”

Should work fine i think !

I had 6.1 for 3 days and reverted back to 6.Seemed like much slower.

Btw it’s a HTC P3300.

Hmm am still on it and am no way going back right now… seems mileage varies with each phone.

can anyone give me a step by step walkthrough on how to upgrade the P3400 to WM6 please !!?

There is no Official WM6 release :frowning: from HTC yet.

I will soon post a guide to upgrading :slight_smile:

Here you go

You mean WM 6.1 ?
