I recently got my MDA Pro, and it didnt have msn or outlook preinstalled (or anything else for that matter!).
I just tried installing Skype, and that didnt work, and i'm now wondering if t-mobile have deliberatley cripped the device in some way?
Either way, it's annoying, and i can't be bothered to pay $20 to download MSN mobile, when i should really have it pre-installed :/
If i install the latest T-mobile ROM, does that come pre-installed with those apps?
Can someone recommend me a decent fast ROM that would have all that included?
Thanks!
MDA pro and MSN
The latest rom at the T-Mo download site has Msn included, so get over ther and get it for free

Try Agile Messenger. Works well enough.
$20 to d/l MSN Mobile? Good God.
With regards to Skype though, be careful:
T-Mobiles new web and walk unlimited tariffs are "not to be used for other activities such as modem access for computers, internet based video/audio streaming services, peer to peer file sharing, internet based video download and internet based telephony."

Which rules out, oh, 75% of what I'd like to do with an unlimited tariff. How companies get awawy using the word unlimited in advertising is beyond me. My company, O2, is no better - our unlimited data tariffs is limited to 1Gb. I could do that in a few days. Our unlimited talk tariff is limited to 10'0000hours. Who's gonna do that? Why even muck around with an artificial limit?

Where is the latest T-Mobile UK ROMs? I've been trying to get it for a while, looking at two diferent Iris.uk sites, both say it's due Jan 06, but neither have it :-(
Please can someone help :?:
I've just gone to the IRIS site and downloaded apparently the newest ROM for T-Mobile UK. Which it states is the factory version.
On running the update it tells me that this will upgrade me to:
CE Image Version - 1.20.32
Extended Image Version - 1.20.120
Radio Image Version - 1.06.00
But it tells me that my CURRENT version is:
CE Image Version - 1.12.42 - NEWER
Extended Image Version - 1.12.126 - NEWER
Radio Image Version - 1.00.02 - OLDER
What do I do?! What's better newer CE Image/Extended Image, or a newer Radio Image version??

Nope, that's the same version as mine... well yeah, it is old, but all but the Radio version is NEWER than this update that T-Mobile have on their site... I'm confused...... :-\
Weird :/
Well can someone please put me/us out of my/our misery and confirm or post a link to the newest T-mob ROM? (is there a specific UK version?).
Also could someone list some major differences with the newest ROM and my current!? I'm a little baffled as to why most of the decent apps (Outlook/MSN) Aren't installed on the MDA by default :? (I'm assuming it's because they want you to TXT instead of instant message, and use THEIR e-mail service instead of 3rd parties?)
Anyway, i'm REALLY anxious to update my ROM, thanks guys
Http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/webnwalksoftware/
that is the latest supported version of software
they are bringing out webnwalk option pro that will allow 2gb uasge and no restrictions on apps using service, coming first of may
Is anyone currently using this ROM, if so, does it have MSN & Outlook on it?
(I'm assuming it'll already have the correct t-mob GPRS/3G network config?)
Thanks again.
I am running that Rom, and I can confirm that it does have MSN, but as I am using Pocket Informant I don't know about Outlook

Hi
Thats a pain... I am on a pre 'unlimited' web 'n' walk tariff with 12 months left to run :-( !!
T-Mobiles' latest rom is dark ages stuff. I wonder if they will ever bother to update it?

Zoidster.... completely correct!! I misread my screen, don't know why I didn't pick it up when I copied it to the forum!!!
Updating my ROM now Cheers everyone!
The ROM update is great, it's added:
- MSN Messenger/Hotmail with Pocket MSN
- Lock Today plug-in, which gives you a keylock like the menu * on Nokias.
As far as Outlooks concerned, I don't know what people mean, it has the Outlook Email, that it used to have before in the Messenging Section.
Well worth an upgrade!

I am interested in trying out these new WM6 roms. however, I was wondering if anyone knew if easysync pro will work with WM6.
Yes it works without any issues. I am using Easysync since 1.5 weeks on wm6.

Please - What version are you using?
What version of EasySynch Pro works with Windows Mobile 6?
I'm also interested in using EasySynch Pro to synch my WM6 Device? Bunique, what version of EasySynch Pro are you using?
mine is 4.2.5
Easysync pro works with wm6 since V4.2.2. U have to install to main memory.

I have v 4.2.4 and was unable to install it to my WM6 device. Are you sure about this? The system requirements for 4.2.4 list the following as supported:
Microsoft Pocket PC 2000 / 2002 / 2003 / Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 for Pocket PC devices (ActiveSync)
alanchia67: Where did you get 4.2.5? I don't see it listed on IBM's site.

1.-I'm quite sure on this.
2.-I got-it under IBM internal site (i'm an IBMer)
3. 4.2.4 should work. just install-it into the main memory and u have do do something (i don't remember what) to allow restricted operation on the PDA, this is a reg-hack or something, search xda and u will find!
ps. 4.2.5 is a fixpack

Thanks for your reply. I found an IBM article outlining 4.2.5 and support for WM6.
Perhaps it was a problem with allowing unsigned apps? I seem to recall a registry hack/cab available to fix that. enable_rapi?
It's a bit of a moot point now since I reverted back to a WM5 rom last night. Maybe I'll try reflashing a WM6 rom and see if i can get it going though a hack...unless of course you'd be willing to send me a copy of 4.2.5, for evaluation purposes.
Thanks!
-Brett.
sorry , can't do that.
Anyway, yes, , its is the unsigned apps problem.

First off, thanks for the reply. I hope this isn't in the wrong forum... I found this thread through a search and I was hoping it applied to me. I've got a Wizard (Cingular-branded 8125), but I am using WM6 & Easysync Pro.
I still can't get EasySync 4.2.4 to install. I get a series of errors when it's trying to install the cab:
First, "this program uses a file that is no longer supported please obtain an updated version of the program"
Then "unable to launch \windows\xcpcsyncsvr.exe: error 1411"
Finally, it says that it's installed, but it isn't. And Easysync on the PC reports that it can't connect.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
-Brett.

i apologize if this is the wrong forum for this. has anyone had any success trying to extract the myfaves today plugin application from the wing/herald? i want to put it on my 8525. i dumped the .bin file from this thread and copied all the 'myfaves*' and 'my5*' files to the /windows directory and ran the myfaves .exe file and still no luck. there is even a myfaves service that i enabled and still no luck. i dont have much experience here. can someone lend a hand?
anybody??? .....
Sorry for bringing back an old thread but i am curious if this has been done yet?
I'm interested in this as well.
From what I read on another thread. It can't be done but also not necessary. You can have my Fave 5 without having a my fave 5 phone. You can Check or Change yoru 5 via logging into tmobile account and changing it online. Having the My fave 5 app on your phone is only convient to Change it from your phone. No Big deal seeing that you can only Change it once a Month Anyway
Download Opera 9 for PC and import favorites on desktop then sync with opera online, then load up Opera Mini 4 on WM5/6 and sync favorites.
You can also sync fav's w/activesync for iexplorer. Opera 8.65 for wm5/6 will import your iexplorer favorites also.
Good luck
Chris
see this thread to get myFaves working on your phone. I have it working on my unlocked Tilt now...

do you have TMobile or AT&T
Apparently that cab that was made was missing some DLL files ... so I corrected that problem... here's the fixed cab...

I have T-Mobile. the only reason my phone says AT&T is because I actually work for an AT&T authorized retailer, and I don't want customers seeing T-Mobile on my display. and thanks to the Personaliser cab I am able to do that.
I'll give it a try. The last thread posted before the CAB link led to a package that kept crashing on my 8525.
Okay I installed the cab file on my 8525 and it works, but it crashes after a minute or so. It maintains fine on my Today screen, but when I'm trying to edit the profiles of my MyFaves contacts it reports that the application had an error and needed to close.
I managed to get everything updated quickly between crashes, but the application works though.
I'm still running the stock ROM that came with the phone when I got it a couple days ago:
ROM version: 3.57.502.1
Radio: 1.48.00.00
WM6 version: 5.2.1437 (build 17944.0.3.1)
Anyone know of a good, stable, and fast cooked ROM for the 8525 that they would recommend, could you send me a PM with a link?
which one did you install? The first version posted was missing DLL files ... which i added here http://rapidshare.com/files/94439605/MyFaves__dD_.cab.html
See if that works? I dont have myfaves on my plan, so I've never used it.
I installed the link you just posted and its doing the same thing on my phone.
UPDATE 2/26/08:
I updated my phone with the latest AT&T 8525 standard release:
ROM version: 3.62.502.3
Radio version: 1.57.07.00
WM6 version: 5.2.1622 (Build 18128.0.4.4)
I reinstalled the MyFaves cab and it works beautifully! It appears my previous ROM image was pretty horrid - had issues with GPRS/EDGE and auto-switching to WiFi all the time. Now I don't have those issues, and it runs sooo much quicker.
Hello

I'm using NRG's latest 2.1 rom and have just installed windows market place. just download and install
im probably gonna get flamed to hell for this - but my rom doesnt have the marketplace cooked in - is there a user installable cab? ive searched but failed.
I installed it but it complains that it can't talk to the server
Have they taken it down again?
EDIT: Seems like VodafoneUK and O2 UK don't have it accessible yet...

im seeing some people working fine with marketplace - so im thinking its a rom specific thing - probably some reg setting for server or something - will be trying a few new roms today
I just tried that MP.zip on my TP2, unzipping all files to a folder on the SDcard & running the main app: nothing for me, it starts up & then nothing happens

I am running NRG's lastest ROM as well on Tmobile USA. When I first opened up Marketplace, it told me that I needed to install the Updated App and that worked fine. After that however, it says that it cannot reach the server
T-mobile USA, cannot connect to server here also.

I know ms is updating their server and stuff, I got an email saying that myphone service is the being updated and it wont be available for sometime, maybe the same with marketplace. And can some one put a cab here in this forum, no point linking us to a diff forum where we have to register again to dl.
I downloaded the cab from ppcgeeks, it took me to a page in opera asking me to download another cab, I did so, and Marketplace is working fine over Wifi with my Sprint TP2!!
Still no worky for me even with that cab
