I've been trying to sign up for Sky Mobile TV through t-mob for my Vario 2 but when I get to the sign up page it says that my phone is not compatible. And as we know, the Vario 2 is a super phone so what is going wrong? Does anyone else on T Mob or with a Vario 2 have any words of wisdom to share or even better, got it working?
As always, cheers muchly.

It only works if you have an official T-Mobile rom on the phone.

If this is the case then in theory you probably need to use Schaps Adv config to get the IE User agent string from the working T-Mobile rom, then apply to yours - thats assuming the t-mobile rom doesnt also contain codecs etc for Sky mobile tv function.
First step would be to get hold of a t-mobile rom, flash and test....
I noticed a minor niggle whilst trying to view Mobile TV on T-Mobile UK.
According to There tech teams the device was sending the incorrect User Agent string.
I found by using a Vario II with its original shiped ROM had the following settings that differed in the BlackX Registry
Black X Registry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent\Post Platform]
"PPC"=""
MDA Vario II Registry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent\Post Platform]
"PPC; MDA Vario/2.0 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1"=""
Once i ammended the setting using Schap's Advanced configeration tool Version 0.9b
Hope this is of use to others.
I works on my Vario II with the T-Mobile WM6 upgrade, but it does not work on my Tytn II with T-Mobile internet settings. T-Mobile tech support say it must be a T-Mobile rom for it to work.

I am using t-mobile wm6 at the moment, but previously I have used mainly the black roms. All I had to so was email t-mobile and they emailed me the link for sky tv.. sorry I did not keep the email, but you can watch it on other roms.... you just can't access it through web n walk on your browser
You can get the link by going to www.sky.com/mobiletv but when you run it on the phone if it is not a t-mobile rom it says the phone is not supported.

Great work to all the chefs out there - love your work !
Just a quick comment on various WM6 ROMS. I had an Original Imate JasJam (HTC) with the original Telstra OS (WM5) loaded and was told when I got the device I wouldnt be able to watch the Foxtel service on it as it was pending a software update. Anyway a quick google search got me the Philips player which solved my problem within a day of owning the device.
Since then, I have experimented with various WM6 ROM's in Conjuction with CWW AUS Operators CAB have found that;
LVSW 8/4 - Foxtel Works Fine
Black 2.0 - No Foxtel
Dutty WM6 Premium - No Foxtel
Custel 1.1 - No Foxtel
I also tried last weeks Telstra native release and yes it worked fine, but again was WM5.
In all cases, I tried using the Telstra proxy (which is essential as that's how they identify you as a Telstra customer).
Keen to here from any other Telstra customers using Foxtel on WM6.
Thanks all for the great work !
No Problems on Black 2.0.
Just need to go Streaming Media options and set the Connect via to Telstra.Internet instead of Internet.
Then you can use it as the video player.
Update - Foxtel Mobile (Telstra Australia)
Tried Black 2.5 and changed from telstra.wap to telstra.internet with and without proxy - no success ...
Trying LVSW 22/4 and Dutty 22/4 next ...

Thats most likely it. I am using the Telstra V5.2 cab from the new extended rom
Ive seen a lot of new roms, some based on official and some built up themselves.
First, whats the latest on an official WM6 ROM from T-Mob UK?
Second, whats the best rom for a UK Compact III? How does it handle the lack of Wifi. Im mainly intrested to hear from those Compact III users who have switched and if they have noticed any problems or missing features.
Third and finally, is there a download for the original rom? Or can I flash it to the T-mob WM6 rom (if one comes out) if ive flashed to a 3rd party rom?
I had problems with some WM5 roms on my prophet in that the sound was too low or it contained crap. Sometimes things didnt work like when you clicked on a text entry box the keyboard didnt appear.
Thanks

WM6 works really good on my MDA from t mobile.
I'm actually using Bepe WWE rom flashed with USPL, I have already flashed two devices without any problems (exept problems with doing it on vista but it was also solved).
Generally wm6 works faster and is more stable then wm5 but nothing is perfect, i've notticed that some programs have problems to run properly.
Spb Gprs monitor doesn't work at all and spb backup has problems with reading files from windows directory.
wm6 is far better then wm5 and i can recomend it to anyone even if you must used to some issues.
there is no official wm6 rom from t-mobile uk and probably there will not be one, but if i am wrong you can obviously flash your device with it.
mda mms settings
Hi there, need help with my mda vario. I unlocked it for cingular and works fine but then i upgraded the rom to 2.26 and can not get my mms work. The MMS settings is totally blocked out. Someone please help!!
I know there are some ROMs out there optimized for AT&T, etc. What do you guys recommend for us Canadians using Rogers? Anyone else on here on the Rogers network? And what ROM are you using? I also need BBConnect to be functional too. I'm so undecided on which to use... I'm still on WM5 at the moment. Thanks.
I use Black Majik (bbconnect version) with Radio 1.43 on Rogers with no problems.
Hi.
I live in Austin. I have both ROGERS and T-mobile. I use, on my TyTN, Elf Mobile 6 Edition. I just switch out the SIM cards. When I visited Vancouver in March, it worked great (I am not Canadian but I have a Canadian number since I normally spend 3 to 6 months a year in Vancouver).
Custel also works well.

Yes, I'm using Elf 2.1 as well, in Toronto. So far so good
Try them all.
Use the one that fit your needs best!!!
If you are undecided, then you are not ready and I would suggest that you do not bother.
In any case, make sure your pda is CID and provider unlocked. Good Luck when you are ready to jump in!

i am a noob so don't flame me for asking this but how do you know which radio version you are using
Start->Settings->System Tab->Device Information.
I'm currently using Sleuth's v3.1 Crackberry ROM and am extremely happy with it!
Lurch has created a cab file with all of the Rogers settings in it which you can run after flashing your ROM.

fast, reliable, best combination of ROM and Radio yet.
Started with the official AT&T 2.15 radio 1.40.30 (WM5... yuck)
Tried a couple of versions of Black, got bored with the number of resets and the number of programs that it didnt like. Very slick look, but very experimental.
The elf did a great job for a while
LVSW was my choice till the official AT&T WM6 ROM came out and VP3G put it on a diet and killed off all that useless junk.
It finally works the way I expect it to, the first Windows Mobile (CE) device I have ever owned that does so.
One trick.... I have consistently noticed that, with all my various Windows Mobile devices I have owned, the stability is better with less junk on the today screen. I now run just the date, Live Search and Pocket Informant plug-ins.
Also, dont forget to do the activesync fake server fix and kill off the nasty activesync whenever it starts up unwanted.
Radio Change:
Droped calls with the 1.48 radio and it wouldnt find service for over 5 minutes. I've just flashed to the 1.43 radio and will report
I've had search on the forums, but have questions i can find the answer to.
I'm a PC tweaker and overclocker. I fancy doing the same with my phone. more out of curiosity then any real need.
MDA Compact 3 (tmobile)
Most used app is tomtom.
I've found the how to bit, and understand the the getting "CID unlocked" then doing the rom flash.
My main questions are.
Once flashed, is there much needed to be done to get it back on the network? ( buggered about on a mobi a while ago and getting it back on the network took ages)
What are the main benefits of upgrading?
I've seen the touchflo demo on youtube and know you can get roms for my phone. what is the best one for my phone/network?
And what the most stable one?
what would be a good rom for some one who install/uninstall lots of app and generally like to poke around, but really only uses it as a phone and gps?
Cheers for any pointers/help
Hi Megabite,
What do you mean with network?
The Network of your telco of your home network?
The best rom for MDA Compact is B&B 4.0 with touch flo.
GPS is working fine
But 4.1 is coming with the latest OS.
And the camera is also fixed. So just wait until released.
The rom is in beta testing
Thanks for the reply.
I meant network as in my telco, as in t-mobile UK.
So just to clarify, touchflow is the user interface that "sits" on windows mobile version 6 (or wm v5) or is it a seperate user interface?
and any date for the realse of 4.1
No, no network problems, you'll just have to run the network wizard to auto configure the gprs internet stuff.
The touchflo cube is just a pretty app that sits on top of the OS - it's ok, but I find the fact that the touchflo driver allows you to scroll up/down in lists and docs a lot more useful.
As far as 4.1 coming out, it comes out when Tom and his testers think its ready - no ETA yet from what I've seen
The Touchflo cube is an interface for accessing some commonly used programs, contacts etc, Touchflo also allows you to scroll using finger movements in other apps, eg internet explorer.
If you do upgrade to a WM6 rom the benefits are a more stable OS & HTML email amongst other things. Tmobile have stated that they will not be releasing a WM6 ROM for the MDA C3 so if you do want to upgrade you will have to use another carriers rom or a cooked rom. There are 2 official roms available, O2 UK and Dopod SEA, both are WWE (English). I use Tom's B&B v4.0 rom as it looks and feels the best and doesn't have any operator rubbish in it. In order to upgrade your rom to WM6 you will first need to CID (Carrier ID) unlock it as you have already discovered.
It is very easy to put the tmobile uk settings back in, there are plenty of cab files in this forum or the settings can be found on the web. If you really can't find them I have a cab file somewhere I can send you.
Regarding a release date for Toms B&B v4.1, Tom produces these roms as a hobby not a job, therefore you won't get a release date, just the rom when it is ready!
I have a MDA Compact IV (equivelant to touch diamond). I have used a number of diamond roms and love some of the features in the 6.5 roms (i.e. new lock interface).
However i have problems using all the t-mobile features via web n walk such as mobiletv, youtube, windows live etc.
Is it possible to have wm6.5 with the t-mobile customisation?
Thanks
I don't think so.
Custom ROMs are made to get rid of provider stuff and such crap.. the only way you might get your stuff is, imho, that you dump a ROM from your provider and grab all .cab files you need to get everything working.
have to admit the same day I got my MDA with in the first hour I was trying to get rid of all the T-Mobile branding and the software and the ugly pink colors that T-Mobile had and am glad I dont have the branding stuff on there as still a T-Mobile customer.With the WM 6.5 I have notice the battery holds alot longer and the Extra cap.bat original HTC bat with cover holds almost a whole week.Like they said you will have to extract the cab file from the t-mobilr rom and install them ,if they work on the 6.5 ,I am not so sure.
