Supports HTML no problem.... works great.

Well I got everything installed but strange thing is I'm not receiving any emails.
I'll have to check my settings or something..

When you sign up for the beta does the service become active immediately or you have to wait sometime?
Thanks.

Once you´ve signed up and activated your account you´re up and running. It´s almost instantaneous. Then, just follow the instructions in the link in the first post to configure your device

Is it free? Don't we have to pay for the data traffic?

Of course....

wow this works pretty well so far. I still have my exchange server setup but if this continues to work okay then I may drop my exchange server all together..

Have just tested it on a WM5 smartphone device (samsung i600) and it works perfectly there too...well well...microsoft strikes back!
It works even better there because the "as they arrive" setting sticks..

That´s great... the settings thing is strange, they stick in the sense that the mail is pushed "as they arrive" and I receive the mail... but it´s true when you go back into options in Windows Live they don´t appear as selected???
But it´s working perfectly.... made my day!

thiis is my question too... i think that depends on the traffic plan you have... isn't it?

I get a java-/browser issue notice when trying to sign up...I guess you need to do it from your PC?
thanks

Cool.
Thanks for the heads up, nice post. Works great!

works great....can we do the same for the calendar??

if only it weren't part of microsoft's hotmail this'd be great.
google will have this eventually. i'd rather wait. no point moving to crappy hotmail/windows live crap just cause of this one feature; cause there are tons of other features missing.

does this still work? I try to sign up for it but it says I am not allowed to see the page...

Oh great.. now my jasajam is NEVER gonna stop beeping!!!
I have push mail through mail2web. 2 Gmail accounts are forwarded to that one, and now My hotmail account...
hmm is there a way to have 2 hotmail/live accounts on 1 device?

my battery drains extremely quickly when using the hotmail push-mail (this is the first time i am using push mail). i understand that the 3G connection needs to be constantly on for the Windows Live push mail to work but is there anyway to reduce the drain. My batter was at 60% last night and in 8 hrs, it was down to 10% (is this normal?)
I am using Black2.5, Radio 1.38, 2.10 Olipro (if this helps)
Thanks

Yahoo Go! and Windows Mobile 6

Call me crazy, but I decided to install the new Yahoo Go! 2.0 (beta) on my device (just to see if it is as crappy as the old version). The Yahoo website recognized that I was running WM6 ... nice ... I have (for those who care) Sleuth 3.1 installed at the moment.
So, far, it is running nicely. I like getting my yahoo mail on my 8525 without having to sign up for any special yahoo plan. Time will tell whether there are memory leaks.
For those in the United States, you can download from http://us.get.go.yahoo.com on your PDA ... or if you prefer, the cab file I downloaded is below. [there presumably is another link for other countries]
For others who try this out, we can use this thread to compare notes.

I was hoping the holdup was a new messenger... bah.

You know, the "push" side of things doesn't seem to be working for my Yahoo Mail... it says in settings it has it, but it's not pushing anything...

i know shame about the push
just out of interest which do people prefer, live search or yahoo go?
they're both very similar

Live Search doesn't have Maps.. .. that's what I like about Yahoo Go! .. that and it seems to be device specific.

hey same here Push is not wokring !!!!!

I wish there was some way to select and delete multiple emails .. anyone figure that out? Or even just to scroll through emails easily. The mail interface, in general, seems to suck.

same thing i said... no messenger... yahoo sucks ass. i think charging for im is dispicable. once you've got a net plan it should be free. i dont care if they put ads on it. they're so greedy they make deals with the carriers to milk us each message. and that forces you to buy a text plan.
thats why google will always be ahead of yahoo. google understands that you can make just as much, if not more money in ads and give away products free as if you would try to milk customers.
in conclusion: yahoo go with no messenger.... they lost!
on the brighter side, its just beta so maybe the official version will have it.

i love the go gui. yet the live gui is more to the point and simplistic, and that can be to the user's advantage.

Yeah, the Go GUI is totally sweet actually. Very easy to navigate. Now, I gotta convince my buddies at google to make something like this.....<wink>

Wrong. I don't know what you're talking about because Live Search has both Road and Aerial maps...
I've been playing with the new Go 2.0 today... mostly unimpressed. It runs slow and I've had to re install it once already.
The only cool thing I've found about it so far is the direct Flickr uploading ability. That is cool, everything else is sub-par.

Installed the new Go 2.0 beta today with no problems after reading this thread. I'll be playing with it the next few days. So far the GUI looks nice, but runs slow on my Edge connection.

It works pretty nice as an RSS Reader as well. One thing I really liked about the old Yahoo Go, is as soon as you took a picture, it would upload it to your yahoo photos if you wanted it to. Now with the Flikr deal, it doesn't do that... You have to go into the GUI and pick pictures to upload. Now you can manage the pictures better though... I have mixed feelings about that one.

Just had to uninstall yahoo Go because my phone kept freezing up..

Why can't I get Yahoo Go to work? My connection is set to Media net. I can't get Yahoo Go to connect, Google Maps to connect, Live Search to connect. Before I upgraded to WM6 I could get 3rd party apps to run fine.
I tried switching to my isp instead but when I switch to it, I get a message that 'the answering modem has disconnected....'
Can anyone help me?

If you have not put in your operator settings in, it will not connect because the settings are blank.

same here. Conclusion: NOT very impressive

Is a memory sucker too.
Prior to install would have 18-19mb of RAM avail.
After install was down to 12-14mb.
Now after uninstall back to normal.
With most email going through my exchange server and google maps and live-search, I see no need for more bloatware.

hear hear!

Oh well.
I had been waiting for this software for a while now. I can't believe they didn't include IM!

what programs are u using on ur dash

Essential Software
Well, I am sure this is a common question with any new phone. I have been trying to transfer some of the applications such as Pocket Plus, MS Streets, etc. from my sister's PPC and I have been unable to do so due to incompatibility. What software do you guys recommend that is compatible for the Dash?
I would like an e-mail software that works over Wi-Fi rather than T-Zones. I do not have the data service from T-Mobile but am constantly covered by Wi-Fi from my school.
In addition, I would like something that would keep my finances in check. I had a software called SplashMoney for the Palm that would synchronize with my bank account everytime I AutoSynched so that my account would automatically be updated. Anything like that for the Dash?
Finally, I am wondering if there is a MS Streets program for the Dash? As a new resident of Boston, I am constantly getting lost in this web of streets. Something to guide me from A to B would be essential.
Thanks again guys...

Using the e-mail on the dash will use the WiFi if you have a WiFi connection. Make sure your e-mail is setup to connect using "The Internet" and it will use WiFi and if you don't it will use T-Zones.
However I would wait for someone else to confirm what I'm saying just to be safe.

Good to hear. Do you know exactly how to set that up?

What e-mail domain are you wanting to setup?

What do you mean by domain? I am using my school's e-mail service with the following information.
pop.ufl.edu
smtp.ufl.edu

Use this to help you setup your account.

Hmm in that case, you may browse around on your schools website and look for directions on how to setup pop3 e-mail programs with your schools e-mail service.

There are a lot of online resources for you to look into, maybe start with http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/default.mspx -- take a look at sites like http://www.handango.com to get an idea of the software available. Sounds like you're used to homework, you have some more now

Wow guys, thanks. The e-mail is working perfectly. I wish it had the ability of setting up 2 outgoing servers within the same account so that you could just choose what account you'd like to send from, like Outlook on the computer. But having 2 separate accounts isn't too bad.
Thanks again guys.

Voice Recorder
I see a Voice Notes program on the Dash, which will record both sides of a conversation for 60 seconds during a phone call.
However, when you try the Voice Recorder application located in the Accessories folder, it doesn't allow you to record during a phone call. The record option is simply unresponsive. But, as soon as the call ends (even when you are still in the app), you're allowed to record.
My question -- if someone knowledgable about these things would be so gracious enough to answer -- is this: Could there be a registry entry that allows you to record during conversations?
Just poking around I found a binary for: HKLM/SOFTWARE/HTC/Recorder
I have no idea what it's for. Maybe this can't be done? Thanks in advance.
(p.s. I know there are legal implications about this in certain states, etc. with notifying the other party. But sometimes when you're on the phone in a place you can't take notes and you're receiving directions, important info, phone numbers, etc. it would be so nice to simply say "hold on a sec, i wan't to record this.")

Voice Notes as the name implies is for taking voice notes, not for recording a conversation.
Vocal data going through the modem is not handled by this application.

That would actually be a good idea. Having directions recorded would be a major life saver. I'm sure someone will be able to tweak around it.

Just use this instead: http://1800message.com/SPWM5CallRec.cab

website for free downloads for dash
does anybody know a good website where i can download free programs for the days? thanks in advance

It says MDA but all of the apps on the page are for Smartphone Edition. Trust me it's a favorite on my dash.

thats weird, cuz when i tried downloading them, none of those programs would work? do i have to do something first?

OZ messenger not connecting

Sup guys, I just came across a problem today. I've updated my tmobile dash to ookba's (finally it worked), and installed oz messenger on it. Why oz messenger because I don't have a data plan and have unlimited sms texting (also its not a memory hogger like the aim client). When I try to connect aim through oz messenger, an error "4670" opens up. Can anyone help me setup the wap network or something? Let me know thanks!

download palringo at http://palringo.com its much smaller and faster with more networks to connect too, facebook, gmail, microsoft live, yahoo, aim,
EDIT::: check the sticky for proxy settings

OHHH ^^^^ I'm A SENIOR MEMBER NOW!!!!!

I already tried that. HELP ME OUT GUYS! OZ messengerl loads up but when i try to connect, i get the 4607 error.

i haven't tested oz messenger on 6.5 it maybe completely incompatible. when more people respond tomorrow we'll know for sure. you might have to downgrade to ricky watts and kavanna's 6.1 rom. i used oz messenger with it and it worked perfectly. but tomorrow i'll get hod of a few ppl and see if anyone has the answer

Thanks for responding really quick jdshifflett, I appreciate it! I'm not feeling the wm6.1 rom because it doesn't have the titanium nor chrome panels. Anybody else has a problem with this?

Yeah i have been having the same problem also. i have downloaded every oz im client and cant seem to get any working in 6.5. They all work fine for me on 6.1. At the official Oz Im site they have a new one that looks cool but cant seem to find how to get it. Hope somebody can help out.

Damn, it there isnt a solution, I mind as well go back to kavana's 6.1 rom so I can use it . Thanks for the help guys.

Any new news???
Did anyone ever find a way to get OZ working in Ookbas 6.5 ROM? I also want an SMS based messenger(I have unlimited texting). I find that with DATA based messengers...I sometimes don't receive phone calls when chatting on DATA based messengers....they get sent directly to voicemail. Any help would be appreciated.

help
im having the same problem too
i have wm6.5 and OZ is not working
somebody help please

I just tried it myself and it doesn't seem to work.
I have all WAP and Proxy settings so it is probably incompatible.

Data connection question

I have the Telus Touch Pro 2 and have noticed for quite some time now it has been randomly connecting and I haven't been able to track down what program is doing it. I have disabled the push internet and even installed the NoPushInternet_v2.cab but it is still doing it.
Is this happening to anyone else?
Is there a program that can track what programs call up the Data connection or maybe the aGPS?
Thanks for any info you guys may have.

If you have it enabled, both the weather tab and the Facebook integration will use up data.
Also, if you set up an exchange account, use activesync, Windows Live account, or QuickGPS.
Google Maps can also run in the background to transmit your location data if you have it enabled for Latitude.

Make sure you used tools like memmaid or other similar tools. It will show u what services is running even though you thought those programs that you closed, actually they are not closed.
I have mine behaving the same problem like u discribed, checked the microsoft live service still run causing the problem. I used memaid to stop it from lauching. and now it fixed.

hi there
maybe this will help OP as well, is there a tweak that will allow the Data connection to ask permission before connecting?
thanks in advance
C

That was one of the things that really bugged me when I first got my TP2. I didn't always need data, and it annoyed me because of the batt instead of data charges. Try a program called No Data. I think the actual cab file is called nodatahtcdriver. You'd have to do a search to find it because I can't remember where I found it. It allows you to toggle your internet, data and MMS.
