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

Softbank has MMS working on the X01HT some time ago. There is no English translation though. Download link for the MMS Cab is here:
http://mb.softbank.jp/mb/support/X/product/x01ht/ That works only of you stay with original Softbank ROM.
There are is an easier way though to have MMS functionality.

I know that Webpage. But you need to have a Softbank ROM to download the CAB, and I don't have one! That's the reason I'm asking for it.
Also, if anybody can post the "My Softank for X Series" URL maybe I can manage to Download it.

well, I have heard the same. As I am using a non-SoftBank Hermes here in Japan with an English ROM, I have never tried it. It anyway would not work on my Hermes because you need a Japanese based ROM to run it. I just download it out of curiosity. It's a big software package. I am using MMSLite (+ CEStar to get the Japanese fonts) without any problem since many months.

mmslite versions
@chainbolt - sounds like we are in similar situations.
I wonder, which mmslite build are you using?
I am using 265 and it runs without locking up. I have used 275 as well, and like the extra options it gives, but have heard it locks up sometimes. Apparently there is also a 292 somewhere, but I haven't been able to find it. I have been googling around, but haven't run across it yet. Any opinions/experiences from your end on mmslite builds?

I am also using 265 +CeStar, works like charm. I have tried once 275, but it did not install properly. I think 265 is the most stable version.
By the way, I found the "SoftBank Mail.cab" . If somebody wants it here, give me your mail address.
Sure, I love cabs. Hit me at larsuck at hotmail dot com. Appreciate it.
The only difference I have found bewteen 265 and 275 is the following: Sometimes someone will send you an MMS using your phone number instead of your email address. In 265, if you reply using the number, it gives you a reply stating that POP3, IMAP accounts cannot be used to send SMS. In 275, it looks up the number in your contacts list and gives you the opportunity to change the number to an email address.
Also, upon further research, it seems that build 280 and 292 are malware of a sort. Apparently, people install them and they wipe the password to the Softbank connection - and that's all it does.
Sounds like pretty weird malware if you asked me, but that's the scuttlebutt.

Hey Chainbolt, think you could fire that cab file to me too at mechbase at hotmail dot com?

Nobody has this CAB? Please, put in RapidShare ...
Can someone please post this CAB?
I'd prefer not to send via email. Can someone post it, please? Thanks!
I have it, and I have mailed it already to the OP. I will definitely not upload software that I don't own.
Understood . . .
I understand. But I don't know why it is so hard to get. I don't speak/read Japanese well, and I have been struggling to find it through the web -- either on my PC or on my X01HT. I've never used "My Softbank" and I don't have a "My Softbank for X Series" favorite URL link in PIE anymore (I deleted all the preloaded favorites that I didn't think I would use). I found something that looked like My Softbank (it was mostly Japanese) on my X01HT, but it looked like the page was built for PC, not mobile phone . . . and it looked like I needed to enter a ID/PW. Do you have to enter a User ID to get into My Softbank for X series?

u should really read thru the forum there are tons of postings on 3g dialer. welcome to the site. but to not get flammed i would for sure use the search function for "3g dialer"
doesnt work
thanks 4 your prompt answer, i have installed "schaps video dailer" it became purpel but the video buttom doesnt shows.
what should i do?
It was reported that none of the actual 3G dailer works on the new WM6 rom but Black's one (part1,part,part3). It can be found on the thread of my rom (near the last page I think); but it is a very very unclean way to get a 3G dialer.

fun_key's method (part1,part2,part3) works fine but as he said, it seems quite an unclean way, i mean opening up the windows folder would now take me 10-12 seconds compared to previously 2-3 seconds.Aside from that, havent really noticed any other slowdown but i'd really like to know fun_key's other way of incorporating the 3g dialer....Fun_key if you could help us on this please? I noticed that u did it on the last version of ur rom and I'd really like to know how u did it...
What seems to slow windows listing is to overwrite ROM files. If the files are allready in rom, no problem.
What I did was something like that: Look into the part1.cab with a cab tool, copied all the data to the ROM and the registry. But 2 of the bmp located in the part1.cab are corrupted. You will find in a folder called wm6 extra or something like an uncorrupted copy of those file. Replace the corrupted file with the good one and you're done.
The part1,part2,part3 is an unpretty workarround to get rid of those corrupted file.
I also did some test with the beloved Kaiser 3G dialer, and everytime I made a video call my phone allmost crashed (work fine though). Any further information about this issue welcome (thread jacking on it's way )
Thanks Fun_Key! Will give it a try and see if we can come up with a new cab installer!
If anyone else has done this already, I would appreciate it if someone would let us know so I don't have to reinvent the wheel!
Thanks Everyone!

Please help, 3G video dialler not working for me.
Hi all.
Sorry for double posting my problem, but Fun_Keys ROM thread is now 28 pages deep, nearly 300 posts, and growing!!
This thread is relevant to my problem, so I add it here -
I have Fun_Keys WM6 1.5.2 on my UK T-Mobile Vario II hermes and after enabling the video dialling button using the advanced config tool, I still cant make video calls.
I've tried calling somebody with a 3G phone who can video dial other people. If he video calls me, he gets a service unavailable beeping sound. If I call him, I just get nothing but this dialog -
"Fail to make the video call. What do you want to do?"
Try again
Make voice call
Send SMS
Send MMS
Does anybody have any ideas what to look for to sort the problem out? I'm very new to custom 3g dialers and custom WM6 ROMs. I've taken a look around but cant find anything suitable. Its now the only thing I'm missing from the original firmware.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Stu

I just bought my dash, first smartphone ever, and I seen the Kavana video on youtube and found this site. I flashed the Rom onto my T-Mobile Brand Dash and it looked great and I love using the side slider bar. But when I tried to text the keys were laid out differently and I'm not savvy enough to fix that myself and I tried searching but I'm not to great at finding the answer by being a brand new member and a new owner of this phone. Also I tried to use the internet and it said I have no conncection and I heard people say just put in my current ip settings that I use on my desktop but I pay t-mobile 20 bucks a month for their unlimited internet that I would like to keep the same and I don't know how to get that back as the primary and default browser and I would really really really appreciate any step by step process in how to get a correct version of Kavana 6.1 that works perfectly with my T-mobile dash with the t-mobile internet settings already installed or set. I flashed the phone back to the t-mobile 6.0 rom so I can still use it but if I can get an answer onhere i Would love that so I can use the sleek layout of kavana.
Thank you very much.
I found the keyboard thing, I think
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2074399&postcount=1148
After looking around I found this and I haven't tried it but I'm assuming that will fix all of the keyboard problems but the only thing as of right now that I think I might need help in is the whole internet thing. I'm not good at setting ips or anything dealing with it and I just want the standard settings that it came with when i bought it from t-mobile when it comes to the internet.
Thank you.
start > accesories > connection set up. select us, then tmobile then reboot.
when i go to start then accessories theres nothing about connections in this older. if you mean go to start then settings and then connections there a whole bunch of diferent folders. you have com manager, beam, bluetooth, dial up, gprs, proxy, vpn, wifi, sms, usb to pc. where should i go
download v23 of rickys revised kavana rom
if u download and flash v23 of rickys revised kavana rom with opera, u will find the connection setup under accessories. this is also the folder in which you'll find the internet sharing program.
pretty sure its in all the kavana and ricky roms.

Try using the SDA Unlock again and then just run the auto included with the ROM it should guide everything through for you. Make sure that you get the almost white screen and you should be good to go
i ran the sda and succesfully unlocked it again and then ran the auto thing from ricky and got to the white screen and it gets to 3 percent and then says error 270 corrupted

Very useful thread, thank you. Before I do any of that can I have your and others honest opinion should I flash to the v23 of ricky's version of kavana? I got the kavana 6.1 original on here and I was able to get the internet working and the keyboard working and so far everything looks good. Is it a whole lot better to get the opera ricky version?

i really this rom update but one of the things that didnt work for me was my voicemail. everytime i tried callin it.. it wud ring a couple times.. that jus end. sometimes it wudnt even ring. it wud jus say call ended.
PS. i have tmo
does it connect to your voicemail? If not call t-mobile and get the local number and reassign it to your voicemail.
If such a ROM exists, i would like to use it to brand my phone to 3 to get the free skype calls, is there such a ROM?
what do you mean to get free skype calls?
You would still have to be on the 3 network.

Why not just download the Skype app?
http://www.skype.com/intl/en/download/skype/windowsmobile/
if it was that easy, dont you think i would have done it by now???
to use the free calls offer, you have to use the 3 skype software, not the usual version.

Sorry but perhaps you should be clearer next time about what you need and why.
You actually don't need a rom you need the software. You might be better off putting this in the general hacking section as I am sure all you need to do is get it from a WinMo based device. Not specifically a diamond.
Hi all,perhaps you may help out here.I have an HTC touch diamond and I'm in South Africa.
Now,I want to flash my rom as well to escape all the problems that are ROM related.I came across this rom:1.94.421.2 wwe,has anyone tried it and saw it is any good for a South African based HTC Diamond p3700.
Thanx

you do actually need to download the 3 skype software, they don't let the normal skype software use the free calls things
http://www.three.co.uk/Internet_Services/Call_chat/Call_chat_service?content_aid=1220455597804
the only way to get the 3 skype software at the moment is to either buy a 3 skype phone, or use a ROM that has the software on it already. i also have a kaiser which i have heard has an official UK 3 rom, but don't use it as my primary phone.
3 have said they will be enabling all 3g phones to use their own version skype software later this year though, but i want to start using it now.
nice idea along with me being on 3 - ive scanned plenty and cant seem to find anything
keep reverting back to the Sony if i need it but sim swopping is a nightmare
bookemarked just incase anything comes up

Iskoot is the skype client 3 uses. Works perfectly for me
When I had my n95 on three to get the skype app all I did was go to planet3 on the phone and download skype on that. Im sure that could be done with windows mobile

Yeah it works for the free calls. I left it running on a skype call for half an hour and my voice minutes remained the same.
I'm not sure if there's a 3 windows live messenger for windows mobile. Someone got a java version working but it's a little low res for the diamond. Works great nonetheless.

nice one mate, it does indeed work. i feel like sending you actual money to show my gratitude
edit: ****, i spoke a bit soon there, the stupid iskoot is not persisting my changes to the registry, therefore it is no longer working, despite my repeated attempts to re-modify the registry after uninstalling and re-installing. argh!

Thats strange, maybe it could be down to the rom youre using. Ive tried it on several roms and it worked fine.
The only thing I do is change BackupHost, CallURL, DefaultSKHost and BaseURL to http://mobile.three.co.uk/948, and run the program. That guide doesnt tell you to change 'BaseURL' which could be the problem. Do you change the phone number in the registry or anything else?

i tried it on the reconstructed 3 rom which was probably a bad idea, as the rom is a bit old now. i did change all those values to http://mobile.three.co.uk/948
i didnt change the phone number though, am i supposed to?
anyway i am off sick from work, so gonna try out a few different roms
annoying thing is, it did actually work. but when i exited, it just reverted the settings back to the defaults.
btw, which roms have u tried it on?
edit: yesssss, got it working again, using shifus latest rom.

Thats great that its working now. The link I provided had a different number to the one that came up in my registry so I think 3 changed it, therefore it wouldve been a bad idea to change the number in your registry.
I tried it on Nataly 2.4, Shaks 4.20 and several Energyroms. I think some roms revert the registry back to default after soft resets.
just as an aside, i recently bought a skypephone (S2), this is before i found out i could use iskoot on any WM6 phone.
the version on the S2 is 2.9.18. it doesn't appear to be a java app, but the voice quality is a lot lower than what i get on Windows XP Skype.
is the latest WM Iskoot version the 1.1 version? has anyone tried signing up through their form to see if they have updated it at all? i might give that a try...
3 have stated on their website that they will soon make the skype software available to all 3g users. i'm guessing they are going to do this using java, as how else would they be able to support the myriad phones OSes out there?
edit: looks like 1.1 is the latest....
hey guys. i was wondering if anyone knows of a file or registry hack to bypass the ringtone limit on the tilt 2? thanks so much for the help .

FileSizeLimit
How odd that I asked almost the exact same question 2 hrs earlier
Anyone solve ringtone file size limit? Or I need a good pager solution!

I really need to be able to play an extended ringtone and it seems the Blackjack II had a registry tweak to handle this. That tweak doesn't work on our TP2s tho.
I am honestly surprised more folks haven't inquired about this.
do a search on this forum for "NoRingToneLimit" - it is .cab file and it works.
I searched the forum and did not find any hits, so I did an advanced search which took me to the archives.
There is a reference to a fix for 6.1:
mikefordmustang.com/downloads/NoRingtoneLimit.cab
Can anyone confirm this works for 6.5?
Found this as well but I haven't tried it personally. Seems easy enough to test though if you want to give it a go.
- Go into HKEY_Current User > ControlPanel > Sounds
- Delete the key of FileSizeLimit
- Done, You should now be able to set any MP3 as your ringtone.

That is the same tweak I found on a google search that was said to work for the Blackjack II. There is no such entry for WM 6.5 on my gsm TP2.
I did add the entry, using a larger value, and it did not work for me.

I tested this on my gsm TP2 on WM 6.5 and does not work. It will only play 20 seconds of a lengthy mp3 file on local memory. Still looking for a tweak/fix!!

You might have already tried this, but did you search your registry to see if that key existed in some other location maybe? I have 6.1 or I'd go look myself...

You know, I did do a search, but it just occurred to me that I searched for files, not strings within the registry.
I am going to do a search on both FileSizeLimit and NoRingToneLimit as strings and see what it comes up with. Total Commander is proving to be invaluable right about now!

I do like TC and can't deny its swissarmyknife-like utility, but for when I just want to zip around in the registry, I like the look/feel of PHM_regedit better.
thx for the tip! i'll look into that ..
Use ceregeditor and browse your phone registry form your computer making it 100 times easier.
so I grabbed ceregeditor and yes indeed, it makes it sooo much easier to search/edit registry entries.
so ... my findings:
Installing NoRingtoneLimit.cab did put an entry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds:FileSizeLimit

The default Value Data was set to 0 .. this did not work.
I increased the value to a high # .. i saw 10487200 as a possible value when I found the blackjack ii tweaks .. that too did not work.
Im guessing everything Im doing works just fine for WM 6.1 .. but nobody has figured out why it doesnt for 6.5. I hope there are others out there with more insight into this. I really dont want to go back to my old phone when I go OnCall this weekend!

It works on my AT&T Tilt 2 with 6.5 - Have Hallelujah Chorus (eleven minutes) as a ringtone.
well now i'm bummed even more!
i am going to uninstall the .cab .. reset .. and then re-install .. and reset to see what happens.
iv'e tried different things to come up with a solution and nothing appears to be taking: repeat notifications, filesizelimit, notificationlayoutnew.dll ... i get zilch on each!
wow .. 11mins!
well i am just so frickin' dissapointed in this thing now. i just cant fathom as to why a GSM model would be that much different than an ATT Tilt2.
I guess perhaps using one of the many available ROMs on this site could help? Any advice, anyone?
And that made all the difference!
It finally works!
I knew there had to be something weird about my setup that was causing this not to work for me. I was timing the length of the ringtone and while the longest was at 20 seconds, there were times when it was a little as 10.
I started thinking that perhaps something was intercepting or disturbing the process that killed the ringtone. I never thought to uncheck DISPLAY MESSAGE ON SCREEN.
This is what made the difference. Once the txt message screen timed out and disappeared, the ringtone died as well. Unchecking it allowed the ringtone/vibration to play fully. WHEW! I swear, of all the things to check last ... when will I ever learn!

Hahaha congrats! I was trying to figure out what the heck could still be keeping you from playing them properly, and I honestly wouldn't have thought of that either! I bet this will lead to a lot of "a-HA!"s in RhodiumTown tonight! lol
