Seems like this may be old news, but I just saw it.


The WinMo 6.5 update for Epix was released on the Samsung site on July 2.

I don't have my usb cable here, so it will be Tuesday before I can give it a shot.


Enjoy

Not that old at all. Folks have just started talking about it over on XDA in the various custom ROM threads . It took a bit of doing with my Win7 machine, but I have the upgrade installed and first impressions are that it has fixed the GPS and mouse issue. I've not had much time to play with it beyond that.

Put together a thread at XDA with some tips and tricks… including how to get it going on Win7.

On July 2, Samsung released WM 6.5 for the Epix / i907. It is available here:

http://www.samsung.com/us/cons…..ab=support

Q: How do you get the Samsung official WM 6.5 upgrade for the Epix / i907 to work on Windows 7 64bit?

The trick is to get the drivers installed and then the Vista 32-bit installer works fine. You can get the drivers from:

http://downloadcenter.samsung……taller.exe

Run this install program. It will put the drivers in Program Files (x86)/Samsung but installation won't work. Next open the device manager and then update the driver for each of the non-working devices… Select the Program Files (x86)/Samsung directory. Windows 7 will successfully find and install the drivers.

Note that you will also need to set the USB connection mode to “Modem”. This is located in Settings / Connections / USB Connection Mode.

Q: Does HTC CM Internet WiFi Sharing work on the official Epix WM 6.5 release?

Yes. But to get it to work I also needed to install and RUN the Topaz CommManager. Start CommManager running and then start CM Internet Sharing. See this thread for details.

Note that the Topaz CommManager works but is not as clean as the default Wireless Manager. Also I installed the Application Unlocker from:

But not sure this was necessary.

Q: How do you get rid of the Startup and Shutdown animations and noise.

The following works on the official update.

I have been checking the MSFT site for a 6.5 update forever and I finally found this while paying my ATT Bill today! Im so happy this is out.


I was using Trashcan's cooked 6.1 ROM and had so many problems. Could not send or recieve pics in txt messages. Phone would turn on after 30 seconds after I shut it off. Finally txting pics works with 6.5 again!


I was about to cancel my ATT and switch carriers because the ROM I was using was so bad, but now I have no reason to!


FYI: I am using Windows 7 32 bit/Professional, and used the Vista version of the install tool and it worked flawlessly.
