WM6 for T-Mobile Dash - UI Test Build - BETA

Yes this is the real thing!
I can't believe how long it took for this to get out to the public finally. This is works (so far for over 1 week) great on my T-Mobile Dash. I didn't need to CID unlock it or anything (though i believe I tried application unlock app and that didn't seem to have worked). This is T-Mobile branded so if you have a different carrier there MAY be some modification required for proper function...though I wouldn't really know since I use T-Mobile -
This thing has it all working so far except the T-Zones in WINWAP. It tells you this version of WinWAP is not supported by tmo..if you are testing you are using an unregistered version and you should contact your test lead to get it registered...No biggie because you can access your account info via the new IE browser.
The new IE Browser is quicker and more functional in general. You also get Live! Search for 411 directory (which can dial/add to contacts directly from there!!!!) also Satellite and road map/GPS/directions/traffic... oh yes no bull... It has Windows LIVE! messenger and email integration to your home screen which is still buggy (gives error and you need to change to another home screen). Tmobile Blue home screen works fine...though there is a BETA stamp in the lower right corner (Also a big red UI TEST BUILD notice when you turn on the phone...oh well).
Anyways...I'm sure you've read all about the new features forever and been pissed that a couple of leaks for other version were out but not our beloved Dash. Here it is guys...Oh yes not a virus either.
Just one bit of advice. BE PATIENT DURING THE UPGRADE !!! It may look like it freezes at some points, but trust me it didn't.
File named RUU_Excalibur_TMO_US_1.20.531.1_4.1.13.34_02.79.90_Test.exe and it is 44.7 MB
Since I can't attach it here to the post I am posting the link to a torrent site which I've...yeah...well it's there and it works:
http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/1061423/4574331/
If for some reason the link doesn't work go to the main webpage and search...if you STILL can't find it...you don't need to be upgrading your phone - you'll probably break something lol

fo a second there i thought you had a different beta rom this has already been posted but thanks anyways!

thanks for posting a link, but this has been discussed in this forum for two weeks and there are a few threads that discuss different aspects of this rom. you really should do a little research as you will find fixes for a few of the small bugs you are no doubt experiencing

argh...I searched and didn't see any thread clearly saying there was something for the excalibur...maybe I should have looked closer. Sorry guys, but hey - it's another source to download it from I guess. Hopefully someone finds this useful.
Didn't mean to make it seem like I released something "newer" -
oh well - This site rox

Anyone who can get this site to work on our WM6 Hermes?

Hi all,
First off, check out this site I was turned on to
(Go to it on a PC though to see how it works...)
www.tv-links.co.uk
It's a TON of tv shows/movies that you can stream for free.
Click on a show... any show, and see how it opens a new IE window and streams. This is where I'm a little hazy on what's happening. I'm not sure what's going on "Html-code-wise" to know why it won't work on my Tytn.
I've tried PIE and Opera, and set them both to be recognized as a desktop, but nothing will stream the content. It does open a new window, but then nothing happens. I'm doing this over HSDPA so I don't think speed is the issue at all.
This would be a great site to be able to get to our Tytn's. Can anyone figure out how to do it, or at least tell me what is happening that is not yet supported by mobile browsers?

the flash player in WM6 is not the full fledged desktop application to my knowledge. this website utilizes some Flash 9 components that just aren't in the mobile version. (again, to my knowledge).

And this is truly a shame. I had tried months ago to view ComedyCentral's Jon Stewart clips, to no avail...for the same reason.
I wonder how long it's going to take for Adobe to give us something for WM devices that works with the new security features they've built into the newer desktop versions.

Hmmm ... Flash Player Mobile, eh? I DL'd the trial, and I'll check it out with Jon Stewart tomorrow.
Thank you VERY MUCH! I hope this works, Diem! If it does, I owe you a beer or two.

[UPDATE] OK, I installed the Flash Player Mobile app this morning, and have tried to view the ComedyCentral videos. FWIW, I still cannot view them. The site still comes up only with links to upgrade my Flash Player wherever a link to a video should be. There does not seem to be any way to DL the flash files to play them locally.
Maybe I'll browse through that second URL left by Diem, and see if I can find anything there that works.
FWIW, I left a Q with Comedy Central, explaining the issue and asking if they would/could do anything to support us users with WM devices ... maybe provide an alternative media format that will work with our devices. I'll post back to this thread if/when I hear back from them.
Also FWIW, I did NOT try to view the URL provided by the OP ... so maybe he's finding success with this app.
Sorry Diem ... no beers for you yet [/UPDATE]

so I am to understand that the flash player that comes with WM6 now is the Macromedia (Adobe) Flash ActiveX 7.0 for Pocket PC, and this mobile version does not rely on ActiveX?

Dont ask me nothing I'm just waiting for a sweet cold Heiniken

Ahhhh, but THAT deal was only good if I got to view Jon on my Hermes. As it didn't work, you'll have to be happy with H2O
So if you want a glass, come on over, I've got a whole tapful
Seriously, I wish Adobe would catch us up with their desktop offerings, or some of these video sites would post in a format we could use.
Oh well ... it is what it is. I've already got plenty of other stuff that works fine, and keeps me using my device for more hours in the day than is good for me.
-pvs

I don't think the videos shown on the tv links site that I posted have anything to do with Flash. Dapzmob was probably the closest by calling Divx. Hope you guys figure out your Jon Stewart stuff nonetheless.
In anyone knows of a player that can play Divx AND integrates with PIE through a plugin, please let me know!

Streaming Radio problem

Hi - this might not be specificially related to the WM6.1 update - but I hope I can gain some insights.
I used to stream a particular radio station from my phone. It is obvious that the site was not really designed for pda/phone use but it worked soso despite the site graphics/buttons not displaying well in the mobile browser ... the streaming was choppy but OK. I am not sure this is a problem with their site or with my device (Dash) - since other sites stream OK, and this site streams OK from other devices and PCs.
But recently the page for the streaming site glitches out such that I cannot navigate or get the stream started. Might be a browser setting or something else. I can't tell.
Anyway - I was hoping someone here using WM6.1 and the included IE browser could give it a try and lend some insights.
Here is the bookmarked URL that I use, that used to start the audio directly:
http://gateway.andohs.net/player/?sid=5864&nid=2920
Alternatively, you can start here: http://www.ksfo.com/article.asp?id=53139 and click to 'start live audio'
I'd be interesting in know if anyone here can see the page and/or get the streaming working - particularly on a WM6.1 T-Mobile Dash, but also on another device (as a reality check).
Depending on what others see, we can discuss whether this is just me, or something quirky with the WM6.1 browser or something else.
Thanks!

Try this link instead...

I have never in my life posted anything profane online, but Perry, ... Holy Sh*t ... how in the world did you find that link? I've been emailing those guys forever and no one ever replied.
OMFG - my life just improved immensely! I've spend the better part of 2 months trying to get bluetooth stereo working with my streaming sites for my daily run ... now I can listen to one of my fav radio stations again.
Thanks so much! Profanity was definitely warranted here ; )

Another Site ?
Well, I might as well push my luck.
ANother streaming site - different problem
http://www.kfox.com/pages/streaming.html
the browser brings up the site with a message that says something like "Flash lite player play back flash files that are created for mobile devices"
Any solutions, insights or alternatives?
Thanks again!

Try this one, I think it's KFOX (KUFX):

Well, happy to help :^)
For this one I brought up the player in the URL you provided, then right-clicked on the 'Play' button to get the link properties. These stations often use reflectors or other indirection, so you need to get as close the the music as you can to start poking around :^)
My own personal quest was similar a few years ago, trying to get WMVY to stream.
Enjoy!

thanks - that was a nice try but something is amiss. Apparently KFOX also goes by KUFX ... but when I click directly on the radio station's site their special player says a specific song is playing (and the song is playing). When I click on the URLs you clipped or on that usliveradio site - the KUFX link brings me to a windows media player that actually plays video - and certainly not the song the radio station is currently streaming.
The search continues.
Thanks for the help! And I definitely want to encourage more help!

I use The Mobile Stream Center for all my radio streams. I use TCPMP to save the link in a playlist so I can have all my favs in just a click It list all streams available in the 50 states.

I am not sure how this helps the thread. If the specific radio station I want is not on the list, then my problem still remains.
I was hoping someone could offer another "miracle solution" like the first radio station I listed (they somehow were able to extract the URL in a different way that worked like a charm on the Dash). This other station - just as popular - seems to pose more problems.
The other station is: KFOX in San Jose (actually the real call letters seem to be KUFX) http://www.kufx.com/cc-common/streaming_new/index.html
Thanks.

Perhaps you should have looked and saw how it helps the thread It is listed 98.5 KFOX (KUFX) [San Jose, Classic Rock], and it has a PDA only stream (WMP), which means load it in your Dash and play away. By the way the other station is listed as well 560 KSFO (KSFO) [San Francisco, News/Talk] in both PDA (WMP) and MP3 streams.
Like Isaid, I use TCPMP, Windows Media has problems with some streams that I have never had with TCPMP (in options/ file assoc on TCPMP make sure you select HTTP and MMS).

yeah, you're right ... that link probably helps a lot of people - just does not solve the current problem-link that I was posting here. Thanks.

You know, as the OP, I have to again thank this community. At least with the KSFO station, I am just a happy camper listening while I run etc on my Dash. This forum has really saved me so much heartache and in this case added some productivity and enjoyment to my Dash use. Thanks again! (now, if I can only get KFOG working, my life would be perfect ; )

KUFX (KFOX) from thestreamcenter.com works on my Dash. It's down toward the bottom of the CA list.
Is that what you meant by KFOG or are you really looking for KFOG?

1. Thanks for seeing through my typo. Yes I meant KUFX/KFOG
2. the bad news is that, for whatever reason I can't get that link to work on my dash. The Icon implies it is a WMP site but the browser same popup window appears (same as the one from the radio station site). The url in the address bar is: http://www.kfox.com/cc-common/streaming_new/index.html?refreshed=yes
if you get something different, please let me know the link that workd in your dash (I am using WM6.1 btw).
Thanks!

Usually a look at the properties of whatever's playing will reveal the final URL. Many streaming feeds go through one or two levels of indirection. In extreme cases you might need to look at the source HTML of a page in order to discover the link...this happens a lot when there's a JavaScript popup player, for example.
I have a Bluetooth-enabled car stereo and use the Dash all the time to stream internet stations into the stereo.

I used the link for KSFO radio in SF on my BB 8800 and got an error message as follows: "Error Playing: The media playing is of an unsupported format" i believe the radio station uses Windows Media Player, and an MP3 streaming format.
Any ideas anyone.

[Q] Looking for App: Call Recorder

I am looking for a good and working phone call recorder. Which can record directly, not over the speaker or something else.
In the market I saw some of them but they seem to be buggy.
Any idea?

Me too, but I have found none that works well is isn't crapware.
My only hope so far is Total Recall by Killer Mobile. I paid for their product some time ago for my Symbian handset and it has been perfect. Reliable and very flexible (you can define rules, exclusion lists, etc)
Unfortunately the developer seems to be working on Android versions.. some are working in some units but on the Galaxy it is still not finished. I downloaded the demo but it didn't work.
You can keep an eye on it tho at Killer Mobile's site (forum part).
If anyone knows of a better product for android, please let us know... call recording is very useful when you need to keep track of details and can't write at the time.

i saw a couple of them on Android Market, forgot the name
they both can record live calls
is good if you want to tape something to be used as evidence

any news?
The original post is a few months old, can anyone name a working application please? I switched from Omnia 2 and cant find any program that can match Vito Audio Notes or Resco Audio Recorder
Total Recall records only in A-Mode a few seconds, beginning with the line waiting (ringing on the other side) and the sound is distorted.
(the missing call recording and Garmin Maps make me think to go back to WinMo)
Thanks!

Hi, suggestion awaited..........

Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

check hero/g2 forum, someone made a call recoder, it uses kernel library specific to hero so dosn't work on other phones, but devs can try hack like that on sgs... maybe.

Any NEWS on this issue.
haven't found a proper application until now.

haven't tired it yet. SGS is listed as compatible. Will test it myself once I flash to jp6.

Tried it and have to say it does not work very well so far. I'll play more with different settings before uninstall.

I tried this on my HTC Arrive. It worked almost perfectly, but it called it a 'Generic Windows Mobile' with WIFI. Then I tried with no WIFI, but then it asked me what phone I had. I chose the Arrive, and then it showed the speeds. Great work, keep it up!
