Has anyone been able to install Rogers' Mymail on their Blue Angel?
When I go to the site (mymail.rogers.com/ota) it doesn't give me an option to download the application.
- According to Rogers tech support, MyMail will not work on the BA (PDA2K for me).
- Since you must install the client APP through the browser on the PDA2K, it sees that you aren't using the HP 6325 and gives you an error message.
- This is based on what Rogers told me though, not from my own experience.
- I've been using GetMail on my PDA2K using the SX56 client for a couple of months, and am relectant to switch to MyMail unless there is some real advantiage to do so.
- Security issues aside, apparently MyMail can't be configured to dial-up only when user requested like GetMail. This is a drawback for since I need to "pull" e-mail when I want it, not every 5 minutes (or whatever specified time interval).
- If you do hear of someone getting the MyMail client for the HP running on their BA, let me know!!
Thanks,
Rombo

I guess there may be a registry hack to get IE to announce itself as an IPAQ?
I don't see how the software would be different...[/code]
Where can I find getmail?
- Strange that they've taken it off the Rogers site already. I guess since it was replaced by MyMail, there is no longer a need for it?
- I can e-mail you the two GetMail .exe files, then you would need Rogers tech support to walk you through the install, since I don't recall which you need to install first.
- The files are 5.5MB and 2.9MB

Different answers
Hey guys, I got different answers from Rogers. I've tried three times to get the device app installed, and the last two times I just told them I had an IPAQ 6325. Seems the Rogers Navigate browser provides a direct link to the /ota site, while regular PPC browsers take you to the normal mymail website.
Does GetMail provide real time push? I've been using Smartner and it's not too bad, but only pushed every 10 minutes or so.
Groo - did Rogers walk you through the install?

the did walk me through the install. I told them that I had an Ipaq as well. They claimed that I was seeing the non-wap version of the page.. didn't make much sense... I'm sure the app asks the device to identify itself. I'm sure a simple registry entry could fool it... Not really sure if it's worth going any further..
I thought it might be a Wap thing, so I installed EZWap but got the same result.
How is GetMail working? Is it real time push?

Rogers Getmail is pull mail only
I've been using the GetMail app with Rogers' Enhanced Wireless Desktop for about a year.
Last Thursday, something broke. When I called Rogers tech support, I was told that Enhanced Wireless Desktop had been decommissioned and that I would have to start using MyMail... There's a catch... Only Rogers-provided devices are permitted to download the .CAB file so I'm out of luck with my PDA2K since it's not a 'supported' Rogers device :evil: !
I told them I don't need them to support my device... Just give me the .CAB file and I'll take care of getting the app working. No dice!
If anyone has the .CAB file, or has some sort of hack to have the PDA2K appear as an ipaq h6320/h6325, please let me know.
Thanks,
Dan.
Rogers GetMail
- I've just posted the GetMail files (in a zip file) for the SX56 client to the ftp site (uploads/BlueAngel/Rogers GetMail).
- Sorry it took so long, but I'm an FTP newbie.
- As of yesterday, GetMail was still working fine on my PDA2K, but Dan makes a good point about Rogers forcing a switch to MyMail, since I recall I had to log in to GetMail through Rogers site to activate it??
- I'll let you know if it crashes, but someone needs a hack for us to get MyMail operational on the PDA2K!!
rombo
I stand corrected... I called Rogers again this morning and the tech support person deleted my Enhanced Wireless Desktop account and re-created it and, once I re-installed the Desktop Assistant (on my PC) and Get-Mail client (on my PDA2K), I was up-and-running again.
Rogers technician I spoke to suggested I find someone who owns one of the ipaq 6320 or 6325 and ask them to download/install the MyMail client on an SD card and just handle the rest of the install through registry edit and file copy (if any files are copied to the device RAM instead of the SD card. Anyone out there try this approach or know someone who'd be willing to lend their ipaq for this test?
Dan.
Got it working
Thanks for posting the executables. You can actually download them directly from wirelessdesktop.rogers.com as well.
The install was identical to Mymail (except the device install actually worked).
Seems to work ok, other than it is pull, and the shortest interval is every 15 minutes to sync.
Hi gohabs,
Are you saying you managed to install MyMail on a PDA2K (client install)?
If yes, can you post the .CAB file (for MyMail)?
Thanks,
Dan.
Sorry
No, I meant that I got GetMail installed. I had the same problem as you guys with MyMail on my XDA IIs.
I got the MyMail desktop app installed and configured, but could never get to the ota web page to install the device app.
Getmail works fine on the XDA, so I'm sure if someone can extract the cab for Mymail it will work as well.
Here it is...

Hi There,
Is this the current (as of Dec 15, 2005) version?
Dan.
Hi all.. Just joined this forum today although been reading it quite a bit for the past 2 weeks. I'm about to get hold of the XDA IIs. I read about the Corporate mode on the phone that requires a hard reset to be performed in order to access it. However, I checked with a number of XDA users (not sure which model although one of them is a II), and they told me that there was no such option when they did a hard reset. Is corporate mode only available in certain regions? Or perhaps there's a particular procedure that needs to be followed?
My apologies if this has been asked before. Hope you all don't mind my query. Hope to hear from you all soon...thanks in advance..
I have a UK 02 XDA IIS and I'm using corporate mode (as I got fed up with 02 active very quickly).
SHould give you the option to choose between personal and corporate during the reinstall following a hard-reset. Just use the passcode '0506' when it asks you and you should have a lovely clean installation to start from!
Just got my BA yesterday. Seems like on mine there's no option for that..perhaps coz I don't have O2 active installed..I only have a program called O2 connect.. :roll:
But so far the unit has been very stable...so I guess just gonna monitor and see..
ive recently just purchased an xda orbit (great pda)
ive just installed the co pilot gps and ive heard the gprs enables when you start the program this creating big bills.

I think the best solution for this is just to edit your GPRS settings so that no matter how it is enabled, it cant make any connection to your service provider (example: put a different user avccount and password)

Instead of changing the username/password change the Access Point Name to something that will not connect. I have mine set to xxx. Some service providers do not require username/password, but in order to connect to GPRS you must have an Access Point.
The only downside is that you will have to manually change it back again if you wish to connect
Hi All I am quite new to moible pc but i do have excellent pc skills so its a bit of a learning curve for me. I managed to get most thing working the way I want reading these posts.
I Purchased an o2 orbit a few months back. I need to get the gprs roam settings to work with vodaphone simm.
Everything else works fine I would like to browse the web without wifi.
I think the phone must be unlocked as it works fine with my vodaphone works simm in it.
can you point me to the correct setting or does it need to be unlocked further to enable gprs settings to work?
other small problem of it keeps saying memory is low even though I have a 2gb storage expansion installed.
last small problem I cant get pages with flash media to play eg you tube videos what media source do i need to install.
Thanks
couple questions, when you ask roam what do you mean just so you can connect to vodafone gprs out and about and are you pay as you go or contract?
Hi
its a works contract vodaphone simm. Work provides a very basic nokia so I installed it into the o2. I pay work £7 a month for personal use
klkl basically you need to tap start>settings>connections (tab at bottom)> conections > add a new modem conection > cellular line GPRS > type in a name and next > access point is wap.vodaphone.co.uk > user name is web and password is web should sort you out
Once you get the GPRS working, go to www.mobile.htc.com on your phone and that site will lead you to where you can download flash for mobile PC.
although the phone works with the vodaphone simm it will not allow me to change the gprs password. i have tried deleting the old connection editing the connection. if it going to require a full unblock does anyone in uk reflash these o2 free and upgrade software for a reasonable cost if so please advise. I would need a very quick turnaround.
thanks
strange :S i've never had the issue and im running sweet with a T-Mobile sim in o2 orbit could be the custom script, might be worth doing the "clear storage" this will return phone to factory settings and remove anything you have installed but should sort it, basically you go settings > system clear storage and when its all complete will restart phone, when it says custom script will begin in 3 seconds press the soft reset button (small hole on side next to the answer button) this will stop the custom script from running so should be generic windows mobile setup, you'll have to set everything up manually but hey worth it if you can connect
Sound like a plan
also if i do system clear as described will this kill my phones contacts sim and voice dial tags and remove my
tom tom and voices?? can these be backed up first?
thanks

Hello All,
I believe there are many like me who would love to get the Blackberry Connect Software working on their HDs. At the moment, it seems like black magic how to get it working and the other thread doesn't really contain much useful information on working configurations.
So far, we know the following:
1. It is Radio, ROM and SIM card dependent.
2. You need to have the BB service provisioned on your SIM and have the new style SIMs that support full data functions.
3. Latest version of BB Connect required for TouchHD (4.0.0.106). This is available from HTC Asia on on the internet (just search these boards)
What i'd like to use this thread for is for people to post WORKING configurations with as many details as possible regarding the setup/installation procedure. I'll start with the only configuration I've managed to get working so far.
ROM: Dutty's 1.9b extreme
Radio: 1.12.25.16
SIM: Blackberry service from MTN
Installation/Procedure:
- Flash ROM
- Install BB Connect software
- Provision SIM card
- Connection was activated after a few hours.
Other information:
- The BB connect service defaults to IE as the browser.
- BB Push email service worked but with lag. SEVEN was much better in this regard.
- I was unable to get messenger, stock tabs, weather update, google maps, etc to use the BB connection
- BB push email service creates its own mail folders on your device regardless of what you already have.
- BB email folders do not have full flip to scroll to next message functionality in TF3D.
- BB email did not display pictures, etc
Please lets have other users chime in here and perhaps we can get a Wiki section created for BB Connect on the HD. Lets please keep to the same format as above to keep the information easily referenced and trackable.
Thanks
Thanks for the info, I have been able to run the service with all ROM's expect for the ones built on 6.5 OS's..
Connection was instant in each installation (right after a reset I am connected - then I'd push my service book -- done)
I do not have any lags in mail arrival.
Its satisfactory for me- but as you said you have to stop the BB service prior to any attempt to use the data connection for other purposes (IE, weather...etc)
Only thing I miss is the blackberry messenger.
Thanks for the thread.
Taiseer
Thanks for responding Taiseer.
Could you tell me what mobile operator and country you're using? Secondly, what do you mean by push your service books? Is than an automatic process or manually performed by you? In the installation that worked for me, I didn't do anything of the sort.
After installing did you have your BB sim in the phone or did you insert it later?

I am currently residing in Oman and its Omantel...
and normally what I do after the 1st installation and device reset, all of my mail arrives to a new mail account named system..(and I won't be able to send or reply to mail from it), so to be able to get the rest of my accounts and have a better use out of the service, I log on to the Operator's blackberry's site and manually demand a service book sending.. in few seconds mail arrive into auto formed mail accounts..
As far as the SIM card its always in the HD..
It looks like SEVEN may be better for me then, how does battery compare between the two.
Thanks for the information Taiseer. My provider does not offer the internet log on option so I guess I will need to get them to push the service books to me somehow. When I install the software with the sim in it, i get nothing after a soft reset. No pin and no ip address. Did you find that MS Live or any other microsoft service was able to use the BB connection or is it just the browser?

Seven has a good service and I've had no complaints. The BB data plan is the cheapest where I live though. So if you can get unlimited (or cheap) data packages, stick with SEVEN. I didn't notice any differences with battery life.

No - you got to stop data connection, but because I am used to my WIFI conection and hotspots everywhere I normally do not discounnect the BB connection, DO you??
Whilst my service worked I was too scared to disconnect the BB connection so I just didn't use any of the other services. It sucked. I've just flashed Davideuck's newest V 2 ROM so we'll see if i can get it working.
Okay, great news people. I've got my service working on Davideuck's Version 2 rom. It required a call to my network provider. For all those installing on a HD, its down to your provider regardless of what they say.
Taiseer, thanks for the heads up about the blackberry page for my subscriber. I managed to track mine down and set up my email accounts from there.
Woohah!
I am using a stock ROM 1.14.405.3(22273) WWE, Radio 1.09.25.15
I hate to have to use a cooked ROM, I've used Dutty's ROM's on my Kaiser and they worked well but this phone works so well I don't want to mess things up.
I believe the stock ROM should work as well. Be sure to hassle your service provider to set it up on their end. I think some providers are not pleased to offer the BB service for non BB phones and do not fully enable the service (they can tell that its not a BB phone from the PIN number). After a talk with my provider, I was told to reset my phone and presto! all was working.
It works on on my Kaiser so I know it works on my T-Mobile plan. I may mess with the radio's to see what I can do.
Sorry to keep adding to this thread but I have some new developments. I upgraded the ROM to 1.19.831.0 and Radio 1.09.25.14
I have version 106 and ran the desktop software, it switched the PIN from the Kaiser to the HD. I changed the version reset the device and now I have the service books and an IP address.
When I look at the status I get network available>data tunnel available then not connected.
Update, since it wasn't working I tried to reinstall BB Connect on the HD, when I tried to configure I got the PIN 0 error. As a last resort I put the SIM in the Kaiser and configured it, then switch to the HD, configured it and it worked!
I'm not sure but it looks like changing the PIN was all I needed to do.
blackberry working great on orange uk htc touch HD standard phone
I downloaded the blacberry install files form a link on this forum, I belive it was the same blackbery files from HTC.
Rom Version 1.19.61.1 wwe
Radio 1.09.25.14
Installed the BB app to phone - then went to start settings > system >" click" icon blackberry.
Blackerry connect (identity) tab shows 3 bits of info
PIN said something like waiting for PIN
IMEI 78*******************
IP Address No connection
Spoke to orange asked for blackberry service. they said 5 permonth £ 250MB of blackberry
Orange sent me text message with a pin number and told me of the orange blackberry site to go to I think it is blackberry.orange.co.uk
On the blackberry.orange.co.uk I enterd the PIN number from the text message and IMEI number.
My phone recived a text a turned it of and turned it back on.
Checked the Blackerry connect (identity) tab
PIN was now populated with the pin that was in the text message
IMIE still there
IP Address says connected.
Went back to the blackberry.co.uk setup my email accounts with blackberry the pressed service book. looked at my phone 20 mins later and my there email accounts were there 2 for work and 1 for home.
I dont do much surfing on the phone but opera works and and the blackberry is fantastic.
orange were very helpfull on this.
But saying that blackberry is really a network service Windows Live I belive does a similar thing you get push email.
I'm glad to see people are getting it sorted. There are certainly many other options for connectivity and push email. Some even work better than the BB service. The reason i'm on the BB service is that its the cheapest way to browse regularly and get push email in my part of the world. When a page can cost as much as 30 pence via gprs versus 20 pounds a month for unlimited data on the BB plan, its a no brainer. Yes, I'm painfully aware we're being gouged but theres no getting away from that.
I have a problem with blackberry connect...
Everything installed just fine, receiving message OK, BUT...I can't send mail because option new mail, reply on mail also, is disabled
Very strange, because I used earlier bb connect on diamond and everything worked...
Any solutions?

Its probably because you are only having the "system mail account" you should try to send your service books to your winmo via provider
Thank you very much - I'm tottaly forgot the way how to do that, working now!
Problems with BB connect on HTC HD
Hi guys,
after setting up successfully BBconnect on my HD, I noticed that when I send emails from my BES account on my laptop, I always find them in my Inbox (not in Sent Items as I would expect) of my HD reporting me as Sender and no body message in it. Instead, should I send emails from my handled device, I always find them in Sent Items of my device as expected....Has anyone of you faced the same issue?
Thanks...
