POP - T-Mob Crap and more - HTC Excalibur

All,
I just used an IMEI service to unlock my two DASH phones. And now i obviously want to maximize the use of my phones. first by getting rid of the T-Mob crap that is on their by default, then setting up my POP email so that I am not limited to the default T-Mob "My-Email" config.
So...
1)What do I gotta do to get rid of the T-Mob crap? Is the IMEI unlocking a full unlock of the phone? Do I need to flash a custom ROM or change some REG KEYS?
2)How do I config my DASH to work with any POP mail account I want? Gonna guess that this will be partially sorted once the first issue is sorted. But surely there is way for me to config email on my DASH so that when connected (WiFi or GPRS) I can send/recieve my mail as if I were on my laptop?
3)Games and Apps. Would like to know the best site for FREE smartphone apps. (I am assuming these are different then Pocket PC apps?) And what would be the top recommended programs to make my DASH more functional?
4)Are there any good English-Spanish translators and Bibles that are available for download.
5)What is the best way to get movies (DVD's) on to my Dash so I can watch them. What format is best
6) Is there a way to get more use and function out of the JOGGR bar? Thought it was to help with scrolling and overall navigation, but it only seems to work for the volume (even though I have changed the setting for device and phone control)
Long list, but any help especially with the T-mob crap and the POP.
Thanks

Anyone??? C'mon some of you got to have answers to some of these issues and questions??

You could try searching this site a bit. i know that the answers to at least 3 of them are fairly easily found here.
also, nothing is stopping you from adding pop accounts, not even the t-mobile app.

FIDO GPRS SETTINGS HELP FOR IM portal

Before you go on to post "read the wiki" ,"search the thread noob" etcetc
Ive done that and i found no help for it other than some settings, which i already tried(didnt work) and ive gotten more settings from the fido csr
and ive plugged those in but still no.(tested gprs/edge by starting pocket IE)
no connection.
I've gotten the value pack for fido which includes the Instant messaging portal for msn and yahoo where i can chat and message and check email unlimited... now the only problem is i cant connect to gprs/edge to use it.
question 1. how do i get the dam settings to work?
question 2. am i able to use the messenger included in the rom? or do i need to use the one specifically for fido?
question 3. once the previous 2 are answered..... Am I able to make it where only the associated program uses gprs/edge for data..so that way if i use pocket ie on wifi i can still use watever im using with gprs?
ie: surf the net on wifi, while im chatting msn on gprs?
thats all i got for now,
I'm using a softbank x01ht with black majik rom.
Thanks for any help i receive.
When I first got a windows phone I was so determined to get it set for Fido's services. With my Universal it took me days to figure out what the settings were. I thought I knew everything after that. Turns out that there are a bunch of other factors such as MMS won't work until you've exchanged msg's with another FIDO customer. Also internet doesnt work without a proper plan first, it doesnt work like it used to , which was PAYG. Lastly the settings don't kick in until you reset the phone, and even then I have heard stories from some where it took upto half hour for some settings to kick in. I find it so complicated now that I seem to know where all the free wi-fi hotspots are around my area.
I hope this doesn't discourage you from figuring out ur settings through trial&error.
I encounter none of what you said. I dont use MMS so I am not familiar with ..all others is no big deal.
It takes me 30 seconds for set up and I am ready to go.
ps: I am on a unlimited for years.....
Well I guess it mustve been different with the Universal and your Hermes.
thanks for the feedback still havent figured it out as of yet though i do know theres supposed to be a dial out to *90# or something like that cant check the txt i received from fido right now.
anyways i hope to get it up soon, im gonna try to port over the IM program thats in my friends rogers tytn and see if i can change the settings on that thing for fido.
wish me luck
They toys bahave different

You bet money on it. I have an 8125 and also an 8525, both have exactly the same UI to set the connections up, however with exactly the same settings I´m able to surf the WEB, get GMail, all MSN Live services,etc only with my Wizard because with the Hermes I´m able to open just a very few wap sites. I´ve had this problem since day one with my Hermes and looking for a solution in this site and in many others I´ve found that I´m not the only lucky person with a $400 toy that performs worst than the cheapest Nokia, there´s a lot of people with same problem and nobody knows why this happens.

For those who've got it working, could you please share HOW? It would be much appreciated.

For guys girls who didnt know about RemoteTracker - Antitheft software by Joubert

Guys/Girls since we are equipped with an expensive piece of phone i guess this software is very useful! After all its Totally FREE!
Check it out! it is released by a guy called "Joubert Vasconcelos"
on XDA he is known as 'joubertvasc'!
I guess we all should have this on our HDs i have on mine already totally awesome and working!
this is where you can download the app.
http://remotetracker.sourceforge.net/
this is where you find support
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=394203
A word from the Original Site:
"This is an Antitheft software and you can use it to track your Windows Mobile device when it was lost or stolen.
It works catching a formated SMS sent from any phone, MSN, AIM or web sites and then send useful informations back. These informations can have GPS coordinates, list os contacts, owner informations and more.
You can use it to others objectives, like keep your eyes in your child. Use your imagination!
To use all features RemoteTracker has, your device must have GPS and GSM capabilities. If your device does not have a built in GPS receiver, you can get the position based on the Cell Tower it is answering. Please visit OpenCellClient project for more details.
If the thief change your SIM card, you will receive a SMS alerting you and you still can track your device. All you need to do is set an emergency cel number."
Enjoy!
i've been using this app.. really great stuff
UPS this is COOOL !!
I am always hanging around with an expensive piece of hardware, you´re damn right !!!
This will help to make me feel more comfortable with my SEX1
THANKS !!!
you are welcome!

When I read this post, I thought the same, this should be cooked in all roms.

Yeah they should actually. the guy who made this app is even giving out code to have it cooked in Roms.
My only question is even if they do cook this into roms, after a hard reset by the guy who steals the phone how will the settings be loaded again to the program? (such as the Number to SmS) hmm.. if they have a workaround on this too it will be so great!
for true tracking & protection and to be "cookable" it needs to be stupid on the device. By that I mean all it knows how to do is call home and report the phone IMEI & Location info. For example:
On hard reset it is set to run as a service in the background.
On New SIM Detection it calls home and report phone number & IMEI.
Server side has info for registered owener of the IMEI. Forwards the message to your e-mail.
If the phone was taken you can send SMS to the number to enable "active tracking" which sends location reports to home on a regular interval. All message sent home are forwarded to registered owner.
If a developer did this they might even be able to make a deal with providers so that the Call Home function is directly to the carriers and it gets built into the Stock Roms.
I use Sprite Terminator. Has the option to remove all your important data.
Usefull thread. but only missing small how to cook this into the touch diam/pro or HD ROM. The main problem is how to make that shortcut fo SMS

Handsfree Dialing while phone locked

Hi Guys,
I've just ordered 17 touch pro 2's for work and I'm very impressed with them so far. Absolutely awesome phone. We've just got one issue which is the fact that when the phone is locked (we used centralised policies with exchange) you can't dial from our Parrots. The phone says you must unlock the device to allow bluetooth connection.
Does anyone know a way around this without taking the locks off of the phone which is a big no no. Tested it with a collegue's Omnia and it works fine.
You can replicate this issue by using the Bluesoleil dialer which is what I've been doing for testing.
The parrot receives calls fine, just can't make them he the phone is locked.
TIA.
Same problem
Hi there,
I'm having the same issue for dialling out via bluetooth whilst the phone is locked. The TP2 says it needs to be unlocked before answering the call.
There MUST be some registry key to change to prevent this "feature" ... none of the previous HTC phones I have had have had this problem.
Thanks in advance for any help!
i have the same problem, i installed s2u2, which solves the not being able to dial out when its locked, but it's not the most reliable solution.
i'd rather have it working like it did on my kaiser before this phone.
hope someone helps us out.
I tried out S2U2, but the problem is it's only a keypad lock, so plug the phone in USB for example and you still have full access to the device.
S2U2 also does not stop you sliding out the keyboard and pressing the mail button to read the emails on the phone, so this isn't a solution we can use, it's not even a compromise
Haven't had much luck with HTC support either. They are very quick to respond but don't respond with anything of value.
I just wanted to bump this thread -- I picked up a Tilt2 and have the same problem -- really annoying when trying to dial from the car and having to unlock (didn't have this issue on my Fuze).
Yeah this is the most annoying thing I have ever seen. There must be a way to turn it off. I use Ford Sync and really don't want to have to worry about my phone being locked or unlocked. Seems like this goes against all those phone laws. You are making me look at my phone first to make sure it isn't locked before I can safely dial.
Wish I had found this thread before I went ahead with getting a Tilt 2. Didn't have this problem with my Tilt.
Is this a WM6.5 limitation? Hopefully there is an obscure setting that I'm too stupid to find.
Cheers
... and I was just about to ask on this thread whether or not this was still a problem in WM6.5 but I guess I have my answer now.
It's definitely an issue in WM6.0
I contacted AT&T and they said to contact HTC.
HTC gave me this answer:
Thank you for contacting HTC Technical Assistance Center. I apologize for the length of time it took me to respond to your email. I understand how important it can be to use Bluetooth from your device when your device is locked. I will be happy to address the concern for you.
There is not a setting on your ATT Tilt 2 for enabling Bluetooth when your device is locked. When pairing Bluetooth with your vehicle your device must remain unlocked to use the correct functionality. I would suggest placing your device into hibernation mode and keeping your device in a carrying case.
Hi,
I have upgraded by TP2 with the offical HTC rom for 6.5 and installed my blackberry connect 1.06 client. Now, even with the BB lock enforced, as it was with the TP2 using 6.0 and it is working perfectly handsfree in my CAR, locked or not. Previously the TP2 with the stock 6.0 ROM wouldn't make calls when locked.
If people are reporting here that is didn't work in 6.5, then there must be a registry setting somewhere to enable or disable it.
I am just happy that I can make a call in the car, without having to pull over and unlock my phone.
If someone can give me a hint as to where in the registry to look I can compare some settings?
I have a stock AT&T Tilt-2, I loaded loaded "smartlock 1.7" to autolock the phone at power off and also when "in-call" to avoid random dialing. I don't use the PIN for locking.
I can dial hands free BT in my car and with headsets with no issues, power on/off whatever.
Maybe it'd disabled when locked with the PIN?
I am seeing the same issue with two of my users:
One is using a Verizon Wireless TP2 with MW6.1 stock ROM
The other is using an Unlocked HTC touch Pro 2, on the AT&T wireless network (not a Tilt2) with the HTC WM6.5 ROM upgrade.
The Verizon users is using Sync on his Ford Vehical. The other is using whatever system is in his BMW.
Both can pair with the car's system, but if the phone is locked with a PIN the user is not able to place a call without first unlocking the phone.
Has anyone found any information on this?
If MSVC is an option then it has the ability to dial while password protected.
Just noticed this has been bumped. I upgraded all of our phones to the standard Windows Mobile 6.5 from Vodafone when it came out a month ago and this problem is now resolved you'll be glad to know.
I've got 25 handsets currently working fine with no real issues. All the niggles that I had have gone away with 6.5 so it's definately worth the upgrade.
6.1 was screwed and no use with handsfree dialing if you use windows lock which we enforce on our exchange server.
Seems like every provider is a little different.
I have the AT&T Tilt 2 which came with WM6.5, AT&T support claims its a Microsoft and HTC problem. HTC claims its a Microsoft problem.
Anyone have a good support link to Microsoft to get this problem resolved?
Can someone with a working 6.5 rom please post the following registry info to see if there is a way to enable the bluetooth dialing on the roms that are not working?
HKLM\Software\Widcomm\General
When you get the unable to dial message it puts a new key in there called DontAskHfpCallFailOnDeviceLock and I figure that the bypass might be in this same area.

erenken,
Thanks for the info. The only item different on my 6.5 Tilt2 is that I also have a key "DontAskHfpCallFailOnDeviceLock"=1. Sounded very promising.
Unfortunately, changing this key to 0 and even deleting it doesn't make a difference: I still cannot dial via bluetooth while the phone is locked with a pin. I tried these changes both with and without a soft reset between.

No, so far no luck. I can't say I've been looking very hard, though. It's one of those things I've started to learn to live with, as annoying as it is.

'Push' Internet

I got the Touch Pro 2 via Orange, however have it unlocked to O2.
The push internet feature however doesnt seem to exist on this rom!! I dont mean even disabled because ive moved to O2, just isnt there!!!
No icons beside the pages, no option to 'add new push page', and no options in menu for schedule settings or data settings!
Has anyone else experience the Touch Pro via Orange UK? Am i missing something very simple, or is there a way to enable thsi feature??
Help appreciated
I've got an Orange UK TP2 too and its not there either. i havent tried adding though, sorry!
'tunes
Thats a useful reference point anyway so thanks. At least i know its not something i have done. Orange must have been trying to cut down on bandwidth usage or something!!
With this in mind- any easy way i can restore the push functionality without flashing and putting a different rom on board??
Ok im on the verge of reflashing to an htc Rom. Really dont want to because push internet is all im after, but dont see any options.
one last appeal- is there anyway i can 'restore' push internet to my Orange branded Touch Pro 2?? Any ideas??
Q
Why so desperate for push internet?
It's just a scam by the carriers to make you use more data... just add your favourites to your favourites and check them whenever you want/need.
IMO anyway.
The TmobileUS TP2 doesn't have Push Internet either & I don't care. I doubt it would be something i'd use even if it was in the ROM
I was reading in a thread where people wanted to disable push internet that the way it worked was to load Opera at start-up and use the browser to download the webpages at specified intervals.
It means that Opera will be in memory all the time and running in the background.
Having tried Push Internet for a few weeks, I can say I liked it but I haven't found it essential. I found myself refreshing the "pushed" page just to see what the most up-to-date information was anyway. For my internet usage, I agree with the previous poster who suggested loading the page from a bookmark (or use an RSS feed reader).
Unless there's a specific need for Push Internet that you have in mind, I don't think it's worth the hassle.

If I were you, I would not be too disappointed to have no push internet. It drains your RAM and your battery.

Configure T-mobile Data plan $9.99

Hi everyone!
I wanted to know how to configure my HTC S620 Phone with WM 6.5 to use the $9.99 data plan and NOT the Smart Phone Data Plan.
I wont use it to surf the internet, ONLY FOR EMAILS. I feel like I will be paying way too much for the Smart phone data plan.
Can any one confirm that the $9.99 plan works? If so what configurations did you do?
Thanks for reading and hope to find answers!
I would also like to know the answer to this question, as before I switched to a Dash, I had the web service that is listed as T-mobileWeb service. With the 6.5 WM 3vo rom, I have no problem loading the internet. But when I switch to Kavana's rom, I can send and receive text and calls, but have problems with accessing the internet, and it refuses to load. Am I doing something, or are these two roms actually set up to recieve data differently?
Also on a side note, I would prefer to use Kavana's so if anyone can shed some light on what settings I need to change so that my internet begins to function again, I would highly appreciate it, and I believe it would answer both of our questions.
Thanks, and sorry for posting in this manner, but I figured instead of starting a new thread, I'd just add it here while it was posted.
I thought that you had to have had the 9.99 plan......
Didn't T-Mobile get rid of new people getting onto it?
"Tzones Proxy Hack"
on another website they have instructions for it but in your profile i left you a message with the link. i've used this method for a while with no issues but its not my own thought up solution so take it for what its worth.
