Na lol What gender is the dash

Blackberrys are males cause they have balls, so I assume Dash's are female.

Three questions actually - - -
1. Why is there lint in my belly button?
2. What is the meaning of life?
3. When will there be a WM 6.5 version for the Excalibur?
(lol, I think I know the answer to the last, seeing as how Microsoft has ordered 6.5 ROM's to be pulled)(Or should we not talk about that, if so delete this post)

Well I got a problem with my S621
I try to update the rom from wm5 to wm6 and know my phone is dead
I can only enter the bootloader I have try everything, from testing all the roms I have found to copy them to the sd hopping that will fix i, but is still without os.
If someone can help me with these I will really be grateful for years.
My S621 is from Mexico.
Thanks in advance

Extended Rom unlock and Intent cab??

Has anyone been able to figure out how to unlock teh extended rom on the Dash (actually more specifically the s620/excalibur)?
The reason I'm asking is I'm looking for a cab for the intent midlet manager. I'm curious to see if it handles the high mem version of opera mini better than teh default esmertec one does. I'm not patient enough to wait for their "fix" I guess
TIA
there isn't an extended ROM in the smartphone OS.
*BUT*
The high memory version of Opera mini works great on my Dash running the S620 OS.
-K
sweet. does that mean you wanna trade!!
apparently the problem is in the midlet mgr tmo usa bundled, hence the request for intent.
thanks tho

Why don't you just install the HTC ROM?
re-read my post. I own a Dash and loaded the s620 FW on it. Best think I ever did.
ANYTHING to get rid of XT9!!!!

Ah I missed that part. I received teh reply notification while I was in the car. Typed teh reply at a red light
I've debated bewteen installing it or not. Here's my reasons why not:
1) I'm cheap. I don't know if I wanna spend the $40 to unlock.
2) This is the first smartphone I've bought from tmo. I'm still nervous about voiding any warranty. I need to research a bit about being able to either reflash to the stock tmo rom or backing up my rom to a microSD like I did with teh MDA, as well as being able to CID lock my phone again just incase I have problems.
3) I'm coming from an MDA that I've flashed probably 15 different times. Its a slippery slope to Phone geekdom once I start.
We'll see what happens, thanks for the tips tho. (Eliminating xT9 would be nice though...
Reasons to unlock your phone and flash the s620 ROM on it...
1. the original T-Mobile ROM is available so you could always go back.
2. I'd pay T-Mobile 40 bucks if they'd tell me how to at least turn XT9 off permanently!
3. I hate carrier branding.
4. You'll get that good java client you want
5. You know you want to
6. You'll be able to use *ANY* ROM that comes out in the future.

My understnding is the HTC ROM doesnt support teh push and hold feature to get teh alt of each key?? I've really gotten used to that now.
that is correct, no push and hold. The only other thing that is wierd in the s620 ROM is when you're surfing a mobile webpage where you can hit a number for an option instead of highlighting and selecting it, it doesn't work. Typing 7 to delete your hotmail works on the T-Mobile ROM but not the s620 ROM. No idea why.
*BUT*
That XT9 irritated me SO much, I don't care what I lose. Losing XT9 is the best feature of this ROM and my main motivation for doing it. Also, you get the native JOGGR functionality back (which is a little buggy and slower than using the D-PAD but I digress).
It is a very solid ROM and the Intent Java client is a nice bonus.

can you confirm this that no such extended rom on smartphones
yup. There is no extended ROM on Smartphones but POF can probably answer better than anyone.
I'm saying there isn't... But I've been wrong before.
-Mc
i think you are!
there is other smartphone with extended roms and to clarify to those who do not know what extended rom is ,when its visible on your device it is a folder with all the applications and carrier settings in it ,that when you hard reset your device they are installed,and one thing is to find how to make it visible with file explorer and another is to unlock it to be able to copy the files some where else ,!!!

Address-autocompletion in WM6

Hi Folks!
Has anyone managed to get the To-Field autocomplete functionality in WM6 back to how it worked under WM5? Under WM5 it checked the name I typed into the To-Field against the Addressbook in "realtime" - under WM6 I now have to go into the Menu and select "Check Names".
Ciao,

I don't find anything negative in "Geek" and I would define myself as such but since I definitely did not mean to offend anyone and since It's sure that at least one person did take it that way I've changed my posting.
Lol, ok ok
My autocomplete seems to work fine on WM6. I start typing the name and i get a list automatically pop up so i can just click it. I get this for SMS and email. MMS unfortunately i still have to click to and then add names manually but then i had to do that with WM5 anyway.
Didn't really get offended, just having one of those days mate, sorry

That's strange - for me it does not. Have you installed an extended ROM? Because I haven't and thats the only difference I can think of.

No problem mate! But still I will not call anyone Geek anymore since it's apparently not for everyone as positive as for me.
Nope, only cabs i've installed from an ext rom are the ones that get video calling working.
Pretty sure that it was working before then though......
With WMXL v.20 coming soon (no doubt you'll be upgrading) you may want to try a hard reset or perhaps a reflash to see if your problem persists.

6.1 back to 6.0

now i love the 6.1 by Kavana but it seems it lags too much to start up and eats the battery so much, so my question is.. can i downgrade to 6.0?
oh and where can i find a list of the things thats are in the Kavana 6.1 i want to install the things i really need manually

Also, before downgrading i suggest you take a look at what you have installed that is loading at your start up and running on the background, because that is probably what is causing the lag at the startup and the high battery consumption.
I'm saying it because i experienced the same and after optimizing my startup/boot the phone started booting real fast and the battery is lasting a bit longer.
At last, depending on how old you battery is and how intense is the use you make of your phone, downgrading might not help at all, probably a new and/or higher capacity battery is the best solution.
Hope i helped ratter than confused.
Cheers.

why yes it is. but i think crazyasslatino went back to wm6 if im not mistaken, so he no longer has threaded text.
But you can always use a third app program to do your messages like threaded... I forgot what it is called though... Uhhhh... Let me try to find out...

Ummmm stop with the google?
Did you notice what i typed in the search engine? Im sure you knew or had a clue , you could of thought of those keys words yourself.
You don't need to know names to programs, KEYWORDS for what the program does and what it's for, will spit out 1000000 of results.

Mikey has really helped you out there bruv, it's all in the key search words. I did a search myself and came up with similar results by using "WM6 threaded text".
I admit Mikeys choice of key words is better than mine.

Is all good, always try whole names or phrases when searching, too short won't work. OZ Messenger is what you needed to type.
I can't say if it's better or not, I just use it because I use sms not an internet plan.
Anyone wanna give me some help on how to write for chome?
Maybe I'll be able to start offering more to the community? 0_0
