Telstra Pocketnews - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Hey guys, i really want to flash a new rom, but i really use telstra's pocketnews a lot.
If i flash a new rom, chow can i put pocket news back on without reflashing a telstra rom?

You don't need to install anything to get Telstra's Pocket News. Just go the to the Pocket News web site and follow the setup instructions.
http://es.telstra.com/PocketNews/alerts_def.jsp
You just have to send an sms to sign up for the alerts - that is all the Pocket News program does anyway.
sms to 176
ON.NEW.GEN for general news
ON.NEW.SPO for general sport etc
The other codes are on the website.
Mind you it seems like a scam to me... try to work out how to stop the alerts... good luck!

so let me get this right, on my phone before the flash, i just went telstra tab/ pocketnews/ afl/bombers.
when i send the sms to 176 on.afl.bom it says invalid code. Any help would be great.

OH... just had a thought... it is probably already on, as it is related to your phone number not your phone operating system.
... and it stays on till you work out how to turn it off.

WM6 T-Mobile US Beta Build 17224.0.1.0 Calling Home?

After every restart, I receive the following text message:
<sisr:RZufTBoOhCcgkA5IVA=:1:1:0>http://70.103.79.209/;+447624806186;XXXXXXXXXXX;F9tKNrMDROAD+YTw1/MEnPqRqbKkjkQ
The XXXXXXXXXXX is my phone number. The tangled bits of alpha after the sisr: tag and my phone number change every time.
I’ve tried to break apart this cryptic SMS message into parts to better understand it.
First was the <sisr: variable >tag, I’ve never seen this before. I googled and was able to find the following documents.

Internet backbone provider with long haul capabilities. Hmm…
Next was the country code +44 (UK). I called the number. “Your international call cannot be completed BEEP BEEP BEEP”. Dead end. No such number. No luck there trying to identify.
Conclusion? I don’t know. I’ve never seen this nomenclature before in xml or html.
Comments?

I get this same freaking msg with every reboot and changes each time to a diff msg. Not sure we shud call that company.
I accidently went to http://70.103.79.208/ by accident. (typo) and came up with some site about "SNAPin Software"
(possibly http://www.snapin.com/)
New feature in wm6? The address book sync thing?
I got the same message once, while playing around with the Excalibur i deinstalled the pre-installed software, and now i do not get any more messages.
Which pre-installed software
Tag,
Which software did you uninstall to make the default boot SMS message go away?
Tchuss,
jromney
Can not say, which software, because i deinstalled ALL preinstalled SW.
I didn't uninstall anything and I stopped receiving the txt's after 10 or so reboots.
Hope that helps.

\Program Files\SNAPin, i tried to delete this folder, two files could not be deleted, sihome.exe and siwatcher.exe, so i renamed them and deleted them after reboot.
There also exists a registry entry, HKLM\Software\SnapIn\SMS\Inercepts\<sisr
I tried to delete the SyncManager software link out of the \windows\startup folder and that didn't help.
After I deleted the Voice Command.lnk out of the StartUp, I only got 1 text message.
AND WHY DOES MY HOMESCREEN KEEP SETTING TO THE T-MOBILE BLUE?!?!?
GRRRRRR...
All of these happen after the device boots up. Something is running to initialize everything back to default.

Have you got any kind of Silent SMS traffic coming to your phone ?
I have the T-Mobile mail manager sending silent SMS triggers to my phone, and I noticed that the SMS's it sends out (identified with 701) were not being processed silently - but were showing up in my inbox.
I have reverted back to the stock build too.
are you using the msn messanger program? i noticed that when i sent our received emails using the windows live account that test messages were being sent so i will sign out of that program
I just checked and I have 17 sms messages sent since installing yesterday. I haven't used any mail or IM program or anything that would rely on SMS.
I am NOT pleased

Hello,

Ok, so I reloaded WM6, and have a dead SIM in, so it won't text/sms. Loaded Binary's Task Manager, and the following "prpcesses" are running:
NK.exe
filesys.exe
device.exe
fexplore.exe
telshell.exe
gwes.exe
My5MsgCente..
connmgr.ege

cdial.exe
cprog.exe
repplog.exe
SPTaskMgrEN..
siWatcher.exe
siHome.exe
SyncManager...
My5Service.exe
ceipui.exe

Which one is the guilty party?

Use the thing I have on the bottom to fix the problem with the MMS...

http://tmobileuspublic.wdsglobal.com...9&phoneId=1828

i did that part already with all of them, and i still cant send...
and when doin regular txt message and u go to insert all the choices r faded, can u tell me how to fix that?
I also hav At&t not T-mobile, does that matter?
Well since those settings are for tmobile in that link, then on ATT, of course, the settings would be different.

There is a program called "Connection Setup" in the new ROM's just run it and select your country and carrier and it should set everything up for you.

I believe it is under Accessories.. I don't think you can add stuff like words pictures, voice notes... because those are things that are done within MMS messages to my knowledge and not just regular txt messages
THanks, it was the wrong rom, i downloaded the karvana one... works fine so far

That "vista button" you're referring to is a plugin called SmartToolkit. This thing has SO many functions... It has an auto-keylock function which can activate a screensaver; it restructures your menu interface to resemble more of a "PC feel"; it also makes your files easily accessible (quicker than using File Explorer). These are just SOME of the many things you can do with this sucker.
EDIT: From what I hear, version RC08 is less buggy and more reliable than the newer RC09.

Edit: Im using the OZ messenger...
also when im at screen to pick AIM, ICQ, or Yahoo messenger, at the top it says t-mobile , does that matter as well...??

mmmm
ok I'll try, only got like 3 but ok. did u put all the right settings ??
have had this last days for first time, too... in Czech Rebublic where I was in holiday... here in germany nothing about this problem. Have had also problems with sending SMS. They where first in the outbox, after some automatically retries a message appears that it could not be sent, then the SMS was shifted to the drafts... after a restart all SMS were sent immediately!
I think it is a problem of our self cooked ROMs... like so much other problems too...
ok..
guess gona change rom, any suggestions? I am using the V4 ultimate DXHE1 rom, which is supposed to be the good one. the other case is my carrier..

Text messaging driving me CRAZY

ok, i just got this phone yesterday, and its AWESOME. Just one minor but VERY annoying problem tho, whenever i send out text messages, it will be displayed in the correct time, but whenever i recieve text messages, it will be 4 hours before the actual time... It seems its been set to a different time zone or something... Anyways, does anyone know how to fix that?..
Thanks.
oh and is there anyway i can find out which rom/country my phone is currently using? I bought it unlocked from a local chinese retailer, and supposedly they get all their stuff from hongkong, is there anyway to check?
anyone? bump
it depends where is the person which sends you the sms, as a matter of fact if the person is in paris ou you are in London, then the message will be displayed with GMT -1

I had the same issue, I apply the summer time fix followed by the df_timestamp_fix.cab I attached. (Thanks to the author, it's floating in the forums if you search for sms timestamp or something along those lines if your curious to know what the cab does)
I am not sure the summer time is needed but it work for me.
The issue is with a "Trust time zone" Reg key. From what I understand, your provider applies the GMT -4 and your phone do it a second time, hence the time difference.
Hope this work as well as on my phone
wow if i was anywhere near u i would go over and kiss u, thanks a lot man! I didn't know the correct term for it was "timestamp" and i been searching all over the forum and came up with nothing. Thanks again! gonna go try it now
the unfixable unread count is even worse.
at the moment i have 8 unread SMS messages i cannot make go away. even when i use a CAB to handle this things go back to the way they were after the next text comes in.

I haven't had that problem at all and I do alot of texting! Sometimes it'll have a 1 by it when I though I read all my messages but I really didn't.
Did you try disabling touchflo from today screen in settings rebooting and then re-enabling it?

I only had that prob once on my TyTn2... or was it my Prophet...? Anyway, try this file. It worked for me before.
Not working.... Just tried it.
this was exactly what i was looking for.
thanks SO MUCH.
EDIT: doesnt work.
Try this
Start/Settings/Text Messaging Change to Classic and X out.
Go into your text messages and you will probably find the culprit in bold. Once you open it, that should reset the counter. Go back and switch to threaded.
First, make sure local time setting is correct (as above posts)
If still persist, try reghack; open phm regedit or resco or else, navigate to HKCU/System/State/sms/Unread, change the Count value to 0. Exit regedit, press power button to suspend your device, wait 5 secs, then softreset. Please try and feedback.
The timestamp_fix.cab did not work for me. The MTS_RecvTimeStamp.cab did the trick.
link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=159852&d=1235328543
This didn't work either for me.
I noticed if HTC Messeging is installed, the cabs will work, if its not, they wont work.
But HTC msging is slow.
anyone with a solution for the timestamp issue?

Apparently I "subscribed" to this service before I rooted when I got my phone replaced the other week.
Trouble is I don't have this app any more as I am using Cyanogenmod, I tried to install it from a backup to no avail, also I am unable to go back to stock either as their is no orange RUU.
Before I call orange and tell them to void my warranty (because I am rooted) and cancel the subscription anyone have any clever ideas??

Try downloading it? http://traffictv.orange.co.uk/
I accidentally subscribed and even with the app, it wasn't the easiest thing to unsubscibe.
Failing that ask OrangeHelpers on twitter to cancel it. Problem is they won't be back until monday. Otherwise play dumb, call customer services don't mention rooting etc...It will be easier for them to cancel it on their system than to talk you through it.
Thanks for the link, i couldn't download the app from their though, got to the last stage and it would just fail.
But I did find an email and phone number for TrafficTV on that site.
Going to give them a call now and get them to cancel it from their end.
Thanks.

Not sure if you guys have figured this out yet, realizing that this thread is 2 years old, but text STOP to 84300 should do the trick!
