Please log in for more thread options Will be interesting to see if this is actually a Microsoft issue, or
T-Mobiles implementation of the ROM. Personally, I think it's that latter.

>>> Hi,
>>>
>>> I have loaded the WM6 upgrade onto my T-Mobile Dash and have a few
>>> issues.
>>>
>>> The background ...
>>>
>>> On the new ROM build there are only 4 Profiles available - instead of
>>> the previous 7/8 on WM5.
>>>
>>> These are Normal, Silent, Vibrate, Outdoor.
>>>
>>> in the profile selection screen, the right menu allows you to edit the
>>> settings within a profile. This is as with WM5.
>>>
>>> However, it seems that WM6 distinguishes between Notifications and
>>> Reminders - and that of the 4 profiles installed, only Vibrate actually
>>> has the settings for Reminders exposed.
>>>
>>> The problem ...
>>>
>>> If you load the ROM and are in the Normal profile, you get audible
>>> alerts for your calendar entries. everything is good.
>>>
>>> But, if you switch to Vibrate, the settings for the vibrate profile get
>>> written to the registry. At this time the Reminders sound and the
>>> Reminders Volume get overwritten with those from the Vibrate profile.
>>>
>>> Now, if you switch back to the Normal profile, the settings for the
>>> Normal profile get copied back to the Registry - BUT as there are no
>>> settings in the Normal profile for the Reminders Sound/Volume the
>>> Vibrate settings for those stay in place.
>>>
>>> Potential cause ...
>>>
>>> The four profiles on the phone - Normal, Slient, Vibrate, and Outdoor
>>> appear to be provisioned onto the phone from four XML files in the
>>> Windows folder
>>>
>>> Normal - Normal.def.prof.xml
>>> Silent - Silent.def.prof.xml
>>> Vibrate - Meeting.def.prof.xml
>>> Outdoor - Loud.def.prof.xml
>>>
>>> If you look into these files, you will see that they contain the entries
>>> to populate the Configuration Manager database for the Control Panel.
>>> However, of the 4 files, only the Vibrate one contains the entries for
>>> Reminders.
>>>
>>> Potential Solution ...
>>>
>>> I can easily add the additional Reminder settings into the other Profile
>>> definition files to expose all the settings. That part seems easy .
>>>
>>> Anyone know how to run the Provisioning "whatever it is" to get it to
>>> activate the settings ?
