T-Mobile Dash - HTC Excalibur

I am buying a T-Mobile dash off ebay that has been flashed with Windows Mobile 6.1 from this forum. I use Myfaves to keep my cell bill low and I guess the version of 6.1 on this phone doesn't have it. Is there a version of WM6.1 that has myfaves that I can get a hold of or am I just going to have to downgrade it to WM6.0. Thanks for your help.

which goes to a non-working "solution" and a dead-link.

joshua couple things to know about myfavs u do not have to have the user interface for myfavs on your phone to be able to get the calls to those numbers free. those can be managed from the tmo site and as long as they are entered when the number is called or they call you it is free. secoundly the user interface is really just a fancy speed dial for those contacts anyhow and there are a few roms and apps that can duplicate what the myfavs UI does. Good luck.

Did you see this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2050951&postcount=20
Another solution is just to make a panel with my faves no.'s

As someone noted above, you don't need to have the myFaves interface on your phone in order to use it. I have 3 phones under my T-Mobile Account, and only my son's has the phone interface. You only need to make sure that it shows your selected myFave numbers on your account at http://mytmobile.com . This is where you can manage your myFave contacts instead of through your phone as well.
Thank you,
Tim

Yes, but it's not T-Mo's MyFaves application. It's just a panel where you can put ANY of your contacts as a "Fav".
As others have said... you don't need a MyFaves app on your phone to make free calls to the numbers you've selected as your Faves.

I was searching for this solution a while back. Just follow this link and install. Go to the TMO website and update your Faves and push back to your phone. As others have noted... the app is just a fancy speed dialer. Goodluck!

Missed calls Today plugin for WM6

Hi,
I noticed somewere - can't recall where - that there is a "missed calls" notifier for the Today screen, looks like the New mails notifier.
Does anyone know where I can get it from?
TIA

Phone alarm I guess, no ?

No, I mean a real Today plugin. It shows as follows:
Missed calls: N
Where N represents a number of missed calls.
this may not be what you are looking for but o2 plus has a today plugin that will show the last call whether missed or dialed... it has a ton of good plugins in it.. if you want it just do a general search for o2 plus

Many thanks. I will give it a try tomorrow. My JasJam is being tested overnight with Exchange 2007 for seeing the new features supported with WM6
I use DKToday - It dhows your network and signal strength, the days missed calls, days talk time, months talk time and months txts sent as well as having a little icon that turns bluetooth on and off.
Takes up double the room of the new messages today plugin and shows more than you're after, but maybe worth a look if the other info is of interest.

I've been using your CAB for a couple of days now, and I didn't even thank you...
so, thank you, o2plus is gr8!
found out they have even more apps, like messaging plus(treaded messaging that does not replace the original messaging!)
but they are very hard to get "patched"
anyway, TNX!
I can CONFIRM this works with WM6 on Dopod 838 Pro
Thanks.
This seems to be an earlier version of O2 Plus, the one a recall on the O2 Atom had options of modifying the font size and so on in the setup.
Is there a later release ?
Does anyone know how I can remove the bottom 2 lines on WM6 today screen - which is "Calendar and Contacts" and above this "Battery status and Comm Manager"
Cheers
You know how to upgrade to WM6 and install CABs but you don't know how to remove plugins from the today screen ?!? What is this world coming to.. ay ay ay....

To remove plug-ins don't you just go to "Start>Settings>today" then choose the "Items" tab and unselect the plug-in you want removed from the today screen.
If you want to remove the whole plug-in and it's program, just uninstall the program from the "remove programs" application. (under the "System" tab in settings)

Is there a fix for HTC home Weather plugin with T-mobile tzones internet?

Did anyone manage to get this weather plugin to work with Tmobile tzones ($5.99) internet? I tried to search for this issue but couldn't find a clear answer.
I works fine via ActiveSync or Wireless internet - but no go for t-zones proxied connection.
If I understood correctly, you would like to load the weather data over T-mobile. Correctly?
If, functions perfectly. Only select city and completely.
Or did you want another program, in place of the HTC weather Plugin?
Describe nevertheless please times which as much money costs there.
I am not safe me whether I you correctly understood.

I think you need to learn the English language a little better, before you try to help others... hehe I have no idea what you're talking about!
There's a fix for it. Someone created a server for the HTC plugin to get its data from and it works through TMobile (tzones or not). Read the HTC Home plugin threads around here and I'm sure you'll find a cab...
I tried the patched version on t-mobileweb and still couldn't get it to work..
I use spb mobile shell. It works.

Yes, that what's happening to me. There is a thread for HTC Home weather fix, but it looks like the author is rarely responding to peoples questions. Yes, he created a modified cab file that uses one of his servers to re-route the data, but somehow it's not working. I believe it's because of t-mobile tzone internet is using proxied access. On the regular internet access (thru WIfI or wireless lan or activesync) the plugin works great.
Is there a lucky person who managed to get this plugin to work on T-mobile USA tzones internet?
juzzie: the 6tab cab worked for me on this t-mobile plan:$29.99/month, Unlimited w/o VPN, internet2.voicestream.com. And U'r right, it looks like the owner of that thread has left the building!

Yep, I know. It's working on T-mobile data plans. But I'm using tzones which is a proxied connection.
To tell you honestly - I gave up. I tried Fizz weather and it works like a charm. It offers far better weather related services and takes only a thin bar on the home screen. You just have to configure it properly: I'm using 2 days forecast including current weather.
Been Trying!
I been trying for a long time now everyday to find the answer to Tmobile USA not being able to use the htc plugin weather program. I myself have full access internet 29.99. sometime it will load it, some times it wont. Maybe its where your at? check the tmobile site www.tmobile.com to see how is your signal. If everyone can come up with a test simple it would be faster to figure it out. Developers neeed help and imput. good luck
yeah, the modified cabs of the HTC weather plugin will only work on a non-proxied connection. I'm having the same trouble, and have tried everything out there.
N2A (creator of the modified HTC weather server) goes thru port 80 which is blocked on $5.99 T-zones, so thats where we suffer.
As far as SPB mobile shell goes, does it integrate with HTC Home tabs? or is it something on its own? any screen captures available?
Well maybe you can ask the guy nicely to make another dll for you that will connect to his server using a different port !

lol, I guess I could do that.
I would also recommend WeatherPanel with the "son of commuter 240" theme. It's just an awesome combination...
Maybe, just maybe this could help
Hi, I recently changed a HTC Touch (T-mobile GER) around completely to get rid of the (for me) unwanted carrier specifics of the original Rom. I Backuped the Ext Rom in which I came across the attached cab (I frankly don't have any idea what it does - all other contents were merely hompage setting or spftkey changer app...)
Since Tmob found it useful to play with the weather, maybe someone could see what's inside. Maybe it could solve the problem.
Cheers, Chris

No guarantees, but you can try this CAB. Just adds a few registry entries. It's based on a Schap's ROM with AT&T carrier. Maybe it will work for you... or not.

This one works for sure but you need to inport it in using a registry editor. It is regitry changes I exported from VP3G ROM.

Remove roaming triangle
Go to this link and see post #25: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360452&page=3
Since the triangle will be gone, if you want to know if you are really roaming (like when I went to Canada) read the provider name in the top of the screen. If it isn't your provider (ex: I got Rogers in Canada instead of Cingular) then you are roaming.

How to set individual contact ringtones?

I'm using the Kavana 6.1 ROM, and of course, I love it. However, one problem I've run into, is I can't seem to find a way to set contact-specific ringtones. Wondering if it's possible in this rom.
Also, does the rom support 8gb sd cards? I've googled the subject quite a bit and found mixed answers.
just go to your contact name then edit it scroll down and look for the custom ringtone assignment. hope this help.

No. After installing Kavana's 6.1 ROM, I no longer have that option in contact setting. Only name, number, and number type.
They have to be in the Phone memory and not on the sim
thats odd, because i've flash my dash from rom of one version to another but i dont have that problem.

Caller Name display with Rogers on HTC S620

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

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....

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....

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.

The guide to flashing is in sig too, also sorry about the confusion over gender
