I just upgraded to WM6 Vanilla on my 8525. I now no longer have access to the internet through the 3G data service.. Also the keyboard is messed up.. I could careless for WM5.. this phone was seriously pissin me off with WM5.. it was so slow and froze up all the time.. etc. Things seem a lot faster with the WM6 Vanilla.. but I'd like to have more features..
I'd appreciate some help.. I read and searched as much as possible but most of these threads have 30+ pages
PS. Wireless doesn't work either.. the Wifi won't turn on.
I really want to keep WM6.. I just want the full features of WM5 along with it..
Perhaps you should do some more reading then. If you look at the thread with a title something like XDA Live issues (its in consolidated sticky), you'll find a fix for your keyboard - I'm assuming you're running an 8525 or whatever you US guys call it?
I don't know why you flashed Vanilla as well, you'd have been better off with XDA Live.
Your internet problem is due to not having the settings for your provider now. You might find the answer in a thread, there might be an ExtROM cab you can run to get the settings, or you might have to find them on the providers website and manually enter them.
I would like to keep PTT.
I just tried XDA... not appealing to me. I like Vanilla.. just not so damn plain.. wish it was full feature.
dont you get it...its not meant to have any extras just plain "vanilla", if you want extras just add them as most stuff wotrks if you install it, ive got vannila with only what i need, tomtom and my provider settings, and works perfect for me
I'm an F'n newb to this stuff.. so no I don't get it .. lol.
I just put vanilla back on...
So now the question is, how do I find out what cingulars 3G (EDGE) information is so I can get that working again.. and also how can I get Wifi working.. currently it will not even enable(turn on) the wifi...
see https://www.cingular.com/support/deviceConfig.do?content=KB71396.html to set up GPRS/UMTS on your device
Thank you very much skyyboy, that did the trick!
Now can someone help me fix the keyboard? When I go to do @ I get a question mark.. I have to use the key that should be ! to get the @
Thanks
Is there any way to allow the phone to have more than one data connection open at once?
Sorry to tell you, neither WM6 Rom supports PTT.
Actually Vanilla can't support it (need to swap some important system files and it can't be done with a cab file) whereas there are a couple of people working on getting it to work with WMXL (WM XDA Live)...

Seriously, it is rude to start a new thread for our own personal questions which have been asked and answered time and again. I am cloing this thread. read the Wm6 threads for your answers.

Hey, I've always seen this (mobile operator settings) when I'm upgrading a ROM, but I have NO idea what it does. When I select my carrier, it seems to install something, but after the installation I still have to configure my carrier's (Cingular) GPRS and MMS settings. (Maybe it's not suppose to do that at all?)
So, what exactly does this cab do when it's installing, and what does it install? What I THINK it's supposed to do is not happening (putting in GPRS/3g and MMS setting)...but if it did, it would make installing new ROMs just that much easier. Not that I'm complaining, I just want to know what it does.
Thanks in advance.
I noticed this too on my O2 UK settings - seems to do something - then still have to add them manually!!
So on one knows?
It corects the name in the OperatorNames section of your registry, adds email settings, sometimes wallpapers and in the case of 02 i think the o2 active application, thats what its supposed to do also it removes some bits the network wants removed or may lock settings
I think that is certainly what the Operator versions do...
I think if you mean the CABs included with say Jwrights ROMs, these are little homemade CABs supposed to set up all your operator settings as the Operator CABs do, but it seems it only works for some and not others.
I'd love to know how to write CAB files myself, cos you're right, stuff like that would be sooooo handy to produce and post!
@NokiaIRL, I've seen a few of your posts and you certainly seem to know what you're talking about.... fancy writing some operator CABs? And if you do... can you take me through the process? (Or anyone else who can guide).

Yea that sounds good.
It came across my mind because I when I'd do a FW upgrade on my Sony Ericsson, I'd just have to goto the SE website to have them send the configurations to my phone, and it was that simple.
One that works ALL THE TIME would be great for the Uni.

In theory it should be a standard process. Would be great if we could sort this out... any of the dev's able to guide us a bit?
How to unshow the contacts for SIM?
Just don wan contact to show SIM contacts?
Any idea?
Yes you can do this by running Advanced Config by Shaps. It's cooked in most roms.
You can find it under the Phone section. "Show SIM contacts", set to No.

Thanks a lot
it is also a simple registry hack. if you dont want to install schaps adv config then change this reg entry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone"
name="ShowSIM"
<value data="1"> SHOW
<value data="0"> HIDE
I saw people very kind here. Why not let him/her try the searching thing?
so when the next person tries the search thing it is alot easier to find. i dont have a problem with helping people. i find it easier to write what you know than to think of some idiotic response in relation to what they should or should not do.

I'm not agree.
Impossible you'll know everything. This time you help me, mayb next time you need my help. Just that simple.
DOH! I'm kind/helpful by nature... *sigh*
Anyway...
The answer is not always the solution.
I'm using one of the latest Abusalza releases, don't remerber exactly wich one, and the trick don't work.
I could change the setting (in Shaps Adv. Config or directly in registry) and the sim contact dissaperared just temporaly. After a reset, they are there again....
I'm using Abusalza's V25. I have no problem.
Maybe you need to try a different version of the rom to the one you are using...
It may just be a quirk of that particular version...
Cheers...
Never mind how do we hide sim contacts, how do we hide off topic posts in threads
Hahahaha
Yes its like that!!!
On PhamQuang PDA VIET cant be hiden... even if i use schaps v3... strange isnt it... I dont use the Registry mod i will try it...
I see somewhere a cab that does the trick but I cant see it ..
OK oK I cant remember where... Thats why sometimes we ask... maybe and hopefuly somebody has a fresh mind and remember where are things or cabs...
Lets search Srs.
edit:
hahahahaha Just searched about... 10 seconds with the new Googles advanced an XDA is very simple and search tab ofcourse... I found it...
It maybe works i will try it...
It is on my Skydrive on my signature link, but attached too.
Now we have three ways to do it....
Ok guys, i need help.... I saw a LOT of threads regarding this issue, but I think i'm blonde, because i can't seem to make it work.... :-/
I'm with Rogers Canada and I just bought a HTC S620 unlocked with windows moble 6.... I see the number of the person calling, but not his name (and I do pay to get this service)
I know I can make it work by changing the values of the registry key, as I have read a couple of times in other forums, but... this is where i'm totally lost....
I'm on MAC, so I use Missing Sync to synchronize my phone, not Active Sync.... I tried downloading Mobie Registry Editor, as well as PHM Reistry Editor, but it does not seem to work (or i'm not doing the right thing...!)
Can anybody please tell me what i need to do (with a LOT of details LOL)
thanks a lot

Did you imported the contacts from your simcard to the contacts in the phone ?
I think that will help.
Yeah, the name display appears when one of my contact is calling, that's not a problem, but I want to have the name displayed when it's someboby OUTSIDE my contact list who's calling.... The number of the person appears, not his / her name (i do pay for this service and the name did appear with my old phone).... :-/

Your service might not support that so your name will not show up. It only shows up if it is in your contact... Many cell phone providers do not have this option....
Mine does I am 100% sure... and i have read on many forums that since this phone is unlocked and not "officially" supported by Rogers, I need to modify the registry in order for the name to be displayed....
check this thread....http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-367381.html
i just can's seem to figure out how to edit the registry, especially since i'm on mac...

The reg edits you pointed to seems as if no one got it to work anyway from what just read and i did read every link off and more.
This quote seems to make sense:
NotATreoFan:
If it works on the stock Rogers ROM, but not any others, one can conclude Rogers has some special software baked into their OEM ROM.

Actually Stylez I am using Ricky and your Rose 1.5 ROM and Rogers Name Display seems to be working with this version. I was never able to get it to work with the orginal WM 6.1 ROMs but it tis working in the Rose ROM.
For those who don't know Rogers Name Display is basically Caller ID for your cell. It will display the name of the caller even if they are not one of your contacts as long as the Rogers network can figure out who the caller is.

Rose is an s740 to which now has it's ROM ported to the s620, Rose can be found im my sig, also NRG has the original available.
The guide to flashing is in sig too, also sorry about the confusion over gender
would by any chance have the link to the Rose ROW, the one I found and downloaded gives me an error message saying that a file is corrupted and it stopped the upgrade at 4% (thank god the phone still works....!) thanks a lot

Have you tried this:

It's for the BJII, but it may work. If you could try it and report back any success or failure, that'd be great.

thanks for replying. Ok so i tried the 1st method you suggested and it wouldnt let me install the cab. and i also tried the sda app unlocker and it came up with a message that said the phone is not unlockable. I also tried the second method, and sadly no success there either. I didnt try the third one because i dont feel comfortable editing the registry in my phone. so sorry i couldnt give any feedback on that. Hopefully someone can find a way to do this.

Hi all, new person with the same problem here. I installed the "remove security" cab successfully but am still not able to make registry edits with any of the tools I have (Total Commander, CERegEditor, PHM, etc). I can also confirm that SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe says the phone is unlockable. The "Unlock Registry" tool in CERegEditor doesn't work either. Is it a matter of not having a registry editor that is signed by Samsung? I'm a pretty technical guy so please feel free to make any suggestions you can think of. Thanks in advance!

It may be a matter of needing a registry editor that's signed, period. Were any of the editors you've tried signed? You may want to give something like this a shot:
http://www.handango.com/catalog/Pro...9&platformId=110&productId=217945§ionId=0
They do have a free trial version, so you could maybe see if it would work without spending money. I have a feeling it probably wouldn't, but it couldn't hurt to try.

Thanks for the suggestion but no dice. The trial version is fully functional but I was still denied access to change the registry. I don't know how to tell if the registry editors I have are signed but I have tried about five or six of them now. Please let me know if you have any other ideas.

Well, not really. The author of CERegistryEditor may have some ideas if you email him, but I'm not sure that it's doable. From what I've been led to believe, WM 6.1 is a whole lot harder to unlock. It's a shame, because the Propel Pro has a really interesting/funky resolution, and has the potential to be a great WM phone.
Hi all,
Thanks jonnycat26 for your time! I found a trick yesterday which will get me by. As you might guess, I was trying to unlock the registry to get tethering throup a WAP instead of the ISP and never could edit the HKLM keys, but I was able to unlock the GPRS settings by going to Windows/UAMgr.exe thanks to this article:
http://forums.wireless.att.com/cng/board/message?board.id=samsung&thread.id=69696&page=2
I was then able to change the settings through the regular menu to match this article:
http://stevenharman.net/blog/archive/2008/10/03/windows-mobile-internet-connection-sharing-hack.aspx
I have to do a little dance where I open UAMgr.exe and unlock the keys again and then start ICS, but it does work (I am posting through ICS right now). By chance do you know why this would be and if there is a smarter way to do this? Thanks again!
Has anyone seen any progress on this phone? It has potential, but I'm amazingly annoyed at it's inability to install almost any application between the ATT lock/permission problem and the odd screen resolution that's breaking apps like cleanRAM.
See: link
Great phone, but seriously handicapped...
It is almost impossible to find software that is not rejected by the application lock: MemMaid, Pocket Mechanic, CorePlayer, Google Mobile all failed.
Does anybody have an idea how to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance!
Still searching...
Been googling for days and have not made any progress......Anyone else???
Can't even run mobile shell......
Update...
Found this site with PHM Registry editor that does install on my propel pro....Just use the smartphone,arm .cab and it installs and runs....have not tried changing values but it looks like it will work.
http://www.phm.lu/downloads/download.aspx?{940B734A-C437-41C7-ADED-2A4418802FD3}
Failed attempt...
The registry editor does install; but, when I run it, the i627 does not allow me to save any changed values.
yep....my mistake....
After I tried changing values I got the error message as well. I've installed chome and am able to change a few settings on the home screen but most of the changes give me the access denied error when trying to change the registry....I'm still hoping that someone will find a way to app unlock this device....I have a feeling that the Jack will be more popular to techies and therefore will be looked at by crackers and developers...Guessing some of these will also work on the Propel Pro......I also noticed that the Wifi radio in this phone is not nearly as powerful as my old Axim....I can not get a fix where my old device used to be able to. Oh well. Maybe its time to look at selling off this locked down toy and look at a different one. HTC here I come......
Propel Pro and Jack App Unlock

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001017 = 128 -> change to 144
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Security\Policies\Policies -> create new key "0000101a": Dword = 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Security\Policies\Policies-> create new key "0000101b": Dword = 1
I will report back to confirm that it has worked.......
IT WORKS!!!!
I am able to modify the registry to my liking now folks...it works!!! was able to turn off the media net, as I don't use it, only wifi, and after changing software security, my pocketnester also works......Just follow the directions from my previous post.....I am always looking on the web to techies and am finally happy to contribute....now I think I like this phone....
