All,
I just used an IMEI service to unlock my two DASH phones. And now i obviously want to maximize the use of my phones. first by getting rid of the T-Mob crap that is on their by default, then setting up my POP email so that I am not limited to the default T-Mob "My-Email" config.
So...
1)What do I gotta do to get rid of the T-Mob crap? Is the IMEI unlocking a full unlock of the phone? Do I need to flash a custom ROM or change some REG KEYS?
2)How do I config my DASH to work with any POP mail account I want? Gonna guess that this will be partially sorted once the first issue is sorted. But surely there is way for me to config email on my DASH so that when connected (WiFi or GPRS) I can send/recieve my mail as if I were on my laptop?
3)Games and Apps. Would like to know the best site for FREE smartphone apps. (I am assuming these are different then Pocket PC apps?) And what would be the top recommended programs to make my DASH more functional?
4)Are there any good English-Spanish translators and Bibles that are available for download.
5)What is the best way to get movies (DVD's) on to my Dash so I can watch them. What format is best
6) Is there a way to get more use and function out of the JOGGR bar? Thought it was to help with scrolling and overall navigation, but it only seems to work for the volume (even though I have changed the setting for device and phone control)
Long list, but any help especially with the T-mob crap and the POP.
Thanks
Anyone??? C'mon some of you got to have answers to some of these issues and questions??

You could try searching this site a bit. i know that the answers to at least 3 of them are fairly easily found here.
also, nothing is stopping you from adding pop accounts, not even the t-mobile app.
Hey!
So I upgraded to WM6 using Schapps' rom. So far so good, but I am really missing my connect / disconnect options from WM5 in the Today icons at the top of the screen. All they give me now is an option to go to the wireless manager.
How do I restore this much needed functionality? For example, when I launch IE or Opera by 3G / GPRS and then close the browser, I stay connected (with a little timer in the bubble). How come this no longer auto-disconnects? Also there is no option to force a disconnection from within the bubble.
Use shadowmite's tweak tool, this is a reg hack.

Hi, thanks for that, but I've got Schapps' Advanced Configuration tool in his ROM, which appears to closely resemble this. But there is nothing about the wifi balloon, nor is there anything about making 3G / GPRS auto-disconnecting. The "3G and GPRS disconnect and timer" option doesn't seem to work.
Edit: I don't really understand; why are reg hacks even needed to restore functionality that was in the previous version of WM? It seems like things are going backwards!!!

Those functions were unlocked using the exact same reg hack by carriers. They are disabled by default on all ROMs afaik.
Hi, I'll give the tweak tool a go once I get home. However I certainly did not have a countdown timer for 3G / GPRS when I had WM5. Is there no way to have an auto-disconnnect?
Also the tweak tool doesn't mention anything about the wifi balloon?
I know it's bad form to reply to one's own post, but just to crystallise this:
Why has my Wifi and 3G "Connnect / Disconnect" options in the icons at the top of the today screen (on the title bar), been replaced with a link saying, "wireless manager"?
And how do I get them back?
Okay looks like I may have found a solution. Please tell me the below is possible in WM6?

Hi,
maybe this should help you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299075&highlight=bubble+fix
- but, I don´t know exactly why - for me it´s not working on Schaps c version - but could be only a problem of the german release.
Let me know if it works for you...
I changed back to Elf´s rom - this is the on that satisfies me most until now, btw. the bubblefix works prfectly on that one.
I posted about this briefly in Sham's 2.00 thread about how I am getting a roaming icon when I use either of these roms. Is this 'normal' behavior? I have been using vp3g's build for sometime now, but was eager to try a Sham's lite rom and was quite pleased with how peppy it was. And yes, I did try both Schap and Sham's connection wizards and that didn't seem to resolve the issues.
I tried searching on the topic, but all I got were hacks to hide the icon and not anything on what causes it, or long term impacts of "roaming."
I worry that something is wrong when I see a roaming icon when I am in my network and don't seem to automagically switch to 3G when I initiated a call in an EDGE section. Additionally, I'll never know when I am actually roaming.
Any feedback, suggestions, etc... would be greatly appreciated for a n00b such as myself. For now I have gone back to vp3g's rom, but would love to use something newer.
Thanks in advance.

I had the same issue. The initial connectivity setup was done here in DC, but when I went to the west coast it said I was roaming when I clearly wasn't. I tried running the connectivity setup again, but that didn't fix anything.
I have a TYTN-Pro on ATT networks in the US
Reg Edit to get rid of Roaming
Use this Reg file to get ride of the roaming triangle. I got it of a registry from a vp3G AT&T ROM.

This just perminately removes it...right? He still wants it to work if he's really roaming.
This has been a known mysterious bug to do with how the os, sim card, & network carrier interact. Most fixes have been by changing roms. Here's the original thread info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295871

You are right, this perminatley removes it as I found out when I went to Canada. I had to rely on the provider name (AT&T vs Rogers) to know if I was roaming or not.
At least It removes the annoying triangle
Hmm... interesting... by what you are saying here, vp3G's has the hack built in? Interesting... in that case, maybe I'll give Sham or Schap's a try again. I'll just have to be dilligent about making sure I am not roaming.
Thanks

my question is that if im roaming am i going to be to be charged if it still says at&t
If I am understanding this correctly... so long as you see your "home network" as the one you are connected to, you should be fine.
I did have another concern: if the roaming icon is disabled, my data will not know any better and auto download. True, yes?
-DR
I got the roaming icon when I switched my radio ROM to 1.47.30 from 1.51.. Also my battery wears out quite fast. Does the phone search for "own" network when it's on roaming state (this might explain the battery issue)?
how do i install the .reg file? Step by step would be nice. all i have so far is 'import it'. How do you do this? I have tried just clicking on it, but it just opens up my registry editor, with no option to import or add, etc.

I guess nobody knows.
You say that it opens your registry without option to import, then you may not have a registry editor installed... If you do, you may see a menu softkey at the bottom right, from there you can click menu and then import your file...
Have a look around, there are several registry editors available... I don't have a link at hand at the moment, but if you use the Forum Search link in my signature, you should get good results... Search for "registry editor"...
Hope this helps...
EDIT: did it myself and this is the top hit... http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/phmregistryeditor.shtml
EDIT2: just in case, copy file to device and then just tap it and it will install itself...
i had the same problem in the beggining when i unloced my 8525 to use on T-mobile network. initially i had no problems, then when i flashed few roms the triangle showed up, i thought it was a rom issue but all other roms even the oem's were doing the same thing. i was googling arround and found someone had changed their sim card and it helped, so i went to t-mobile got my 4 year old sim card replaced and BAM! like a charm triangle is gone on the spot!
chance em!
I have had the Roaming Icon show with some of the ROM's. Right now I have VP3G's 3.62 ROM and no roaming ICON.

Exactly what it has been doing for me. I just removed and reinstalled PHM's Reg Editor 0.70. Click on the ATT No Roaming.reg file, and it opens up PHM's Reg Editor, at the root, with the HKCR/HKCU/HKLM/HKU root menu. Then I click the Tools menu, and Import is at the top, but is all grayed out. I can't choose this option.

Hi all,
Since I installed wm 6.5 (Rom Officiel), the option to answer phone automatically doesn't work anymore .
i'm sorry of that, because i'm a biker and it's very useful.
A hard reset (as asked by the service support) did not change anything.
they ask me now to return the device which seems to be a hardware problem no ?
Are you involved of that problem? any idea to solve it without sending it?
Thanks and Best regards from France
Humm !
I'm surprised that this fonction doesn't interest more people; because after quick investigation, i'm not alone with that problem using wm 6.5 .
Is that happen only with the french version?
I have the same problem with diamond 2 and wm 6.5. Did you find any solution?

Same problem here. Updated using UK Vodafone upgrade and now Auto Pickup cannot be selected.
Can anyone help as this is a big problem. If you have to touch your phone to answer a call while you are driving and you get caught, you are in big trouble.
Could someone check their registry
HKCU\ControlPanel\AutoPickUp
and tell us exactly what is in there. Mine is empty and I think this might be part of the problem.
Thanks

I just checked and mine is blank too...on a US-model T-mobile TP2 with the stock 6.1 ROM. I've never used the function before though, so I can't really say whether it is/was available to me...I'm not even sure where the option to use that is
You guys might want to check out the app in THIS thread, it supposedly makes it easy to access the auto-answer, so it might (...or might not) serve as a work-around for you
EDIT: I just found the toggle for auto-answer in the phone settings...and even though I have that registry entry blank like the rest of you, I still have the option of chosing auto-answer in the phone settings.
Sorry if you did this but can you go back to the setting and make sure it stayed "ticked". What happens on mine is that I tick the box and it shows a tick but if you come out of setup then go back in the tick has gone.

Hey man, sorry about that, I just missed it when you asked that the first time
I just now double-checked, and yes, the tick mark does persist in the Automatic Pickup box in phone settings, even through a soft-reset.
But...even when the tick mark is there, no value appears in the registry entry you mentioned and...it still doesn't work I tried it with the auto-answer interval set at 0, 1, and 2 seconds, and it never answered my test calls.
So...6.1 doesn't work any better, 6.5 is just more honest with you by not letting the setting appear like it's working
p.s. feel free to PM me if you ever need feedback from me and haven't heard anything in a day or two...probably means it just got lost in the shuffle on my end.

Hey guys, I know this sounds like a stupid question but, when I send a txt message it always comes up with the message sent notification. Ive been through all the settings and I can not find a place to turn it off. Ive installed advanced tools and the setting there does not work either. I have a tp2 on verizon. If anyone could guide me to the right location to turn off the message sent notifications Id appreciate it. Thanks as always.
Download and install CeRegistryEditor to your Windows PC. Launch it and connect your phone via USB.
In CeRegEdit, go to Connection -> Connect. Then Tools -> Unlock. Observe your phone and accept to the on-screen notification.
Your registry is now unlocked for editing.
In CeRegEdit, browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings. You will see SMSNoSentMessage with a value of 0. Double-click and change the value to 1.
In CeRegEdit, go to Connection -> Exit.
Job done.
EDIT: FYI, the "Sent" message annoyed me to no end also, and this was the first of many tweaks I made to my Tilt 2.
Yeah I did that registry edit. It is already set to 1. That stupid message sent thing still pops up. Its driving me crazy. There has to be a way to shut it off. Thats the only problem I have with my tp2. I appreciate it the help. Any other suggestions?
Huh... mine is already at 1 also. Anything I might be missing?
