Essential Software
Well, I am sure this is a common question with any new phone. I have been trying to transfer some of the applications such as Pocket Plus, MS Streets, etc. from my sister's PPC and I have been unable to do so due to incompatibility. What software do you guys recommend that is compatible for the Dash?
I would like an e-mail software that works over Wi-Fi rather than T-Zones. I do not have the data service from T-Mobile but am constantly covered by Wi-Fi from my school.
In addition, I would like something that would keep my finances in check. I had a software called SplashMoney for the Palm that would synchronize with my bank account everytime I AutoSynched so that my account would automatically be updated. Anything like that for the Dash?
Finally, I am wondering if there is a MS Streets program for the Dash? As a new resident of Boston, I am constantly getting lost in this web of streets. Something to guide me from A to B would be essential.
Thanks again guys...
Using the e-mail on the dash will use the WiFi if you have a WiFi connection. Make sure your e-mail is setup to connect using "The Internet" and it will use WiFi and if you don't it will use T-Zones.
However I would wait for someone else to confirm what I'm saying just to be safe.
Good to hear. Do you know exactly how to set that up?
What e-mail domain are you wanting to setup?
What do you mean by domain? I am using my school's e-mail service with the following information.
pop.ufl.edu
smtp.ufl.edu

Use this to help you setup your account.
Hmm in that case, you may browse around on your schools website and look for directions on how to setup pop3 e-mail programs with your schools e-mail service.
There are a lot of online resources for you to look into, maybe start with http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/default.mspx -- take a look at sites like http://www.handango.com to get an idea of the software available. Sounds like you're used to homework, you have some more now
Wow guys, thanks. The e-mail is working perfectly. I wish it had the ability of setting up 2 outgoing servers within the same account so that you could just choose what account you'd like to send from, like Outlook on the computer. But having 2 separate accounts isn't too bad.
Thanks again guys.
Voice Recorder
I see a Voice Notes program on the Dash, which will record both sides of a conversation for 60 seconds during a phone call.
However, when you try the Voice Recorder application located in the Accessories folder, it doesn't allow you to record during a phone call. The record option is simply unresponsive. But, as soon as the call ends (even when you are still in the app), you're allowed to record.
My question -- if someone knowledgable about these things would be so gracious enough to answer -- is this: Could there be a registry entry that allows you to record during conversations?
Just poking around I found a binary for: HKLM/SOFTWARE/HTC/Recorder
I have no idea what it's for. Maybe this can't be done? Thanks in advance.
(p.s. I know there are legal implications about this in certain states, etc. with notifying the other party. But sometimes when you're on the phone in a place you can't take notes and you're receiving directions, important info, phone numbers, etc. it would be so nice to simply say "hold on a sec, i wan't to record this.")
Voice Notes as the name implies is for taking voice notes, not for recording a conversation.
Vocal data going through the modem is not handled by this application.
That would actually be a good idea. Having directions recorded would be a major life saver. I'm sure someone will be able to tweak around it.
Just use this instead: http://1800message.com/SPWM5CallRec.cab

It says MDA but all of the apps on the page are for Smartphone Edition. Trust me it's a favorite on my dash.
thats weird, cuz when i tried downloading them, none of those programs would work? do i have to do something first?
Its kinda very dump that I need to register and pay to ask a question on the M$'s AppHub forum.
anyways. Xda buddies can help me instead.
I am new to WP7 Development, I understand how push notifications works on WP7. What i am wondering is that if the cloud service has the ability to poll location service from the phone.
Hi,
Firstly, you don't need to pay to post on the AppHub forums.
But back to your question .
If I understand you correctly, you want your cloud service to be able to pull in the user's information?Someone else might know a way of retrieving the phone position from your own cloud service, but as far as I know, that's not possible. What you can do is push it from the phone to the cloud. So, from your app, you can send the location information to your web service in the cloud. A couple of things to note is that the application requirements documents requires you to let the user know that you're taking their location information (amongst other things, so you should read that to make sure your app can be added to the marketplace). Another thing is that the user has to be running your app in order for it to send the details to your cloud service.
Therefore, it is not possible if the live tile of my application is able to do an update based on the location of the phone, since in order for the web service to know the phone's location, the application must be running, correct?
Yes as far I as I know, that's correct. Your app has to be running in order for your service to know what the user's location is.
All,
Why all the fuss to Chevron Unlock or any other hack when you can just register it as a developer phone and unlock it officially for free????
Oh, maybe you all didn't know about the free part, maybe that is the piece of magic everyone is seeking...
Here is how to register your phone as a developer phone FOR FREE....
1. Get and verify a Dreamspark account. Two options here....
a. If you are a student with an email address ending in .edu just go to www.dreamspark.com, register and verify the email address.
2. Create an Apphub account and link it to your Dreamspark LiveId.
a. After Dreamspark is verified, go to http://create.msdn.com/en-US/ register your Windows Live ID and signup as a student. It will ask if you have a verified Dreamspark account, follow the steps to link the two accounts. (I didn't take screenshots but intuitive)
3. Populate your required profile information to the point that "My Dashboard-->My Windows Phone" does not show any more pending tasks.
a. You MUST go through the process to submit a "DummyApp" for Windows Mobile 6.5 to Windows MarketPlace before Geotrust will send you the email to verify your identity. Just put "Dummyapp for id verification" in the notes sections. You will have to upload a .cab and a bunch of icons that all have to be sized properly. Just take a .png file and resize it a bunch of times and upload it. Doesn't matter what it is.
b. Geotrust will send an email requesting you to verify some info. I received it about 10 minutes after submitting my app, but could take 24 hours. I answered 4 questions, and then about 2 hours later Apphub took off the "identity verification pending" alert.
c. I also submitted my bank account info, but not sure if this was necessary.
4. Download the Windows phone developer tools from here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=04704acf-a63a-4f97-952c-8b51b34b00ce
5. Run the Windows Phone Developer Registration tool. Sign in with Windows Live ID you registered at AppHub, connect your phone and make sure it is not screen locked, viola, Windows 7 Phone now unlocked. And you can unlock 2 other Windows 7 phones too for a total of 3 phones.
Total process took less than 24 hours due to waiting on Geotrust and MS confirm.

This is only for students,so its not really an option for everyone
Sent from my 7 Pro T7576 using Board Express
Follow the link on 1B above if you are not a student or do not have a .edu email address. Works just fine.

I assume he ment that Dreamspark is for students that cannot afford the software but can bring in revenue to Microsoft with the program and games they create. So, if you signup under the guise of a student, you can kind of defrauding Microsoft. But I guess that is a moral issue, so most people may not care. But, there are also schools and online classes that do not provide any sort of educational email addresses, so having a way to gain access as someone studying and taking classes, is nice. So, in those cases I think its ok. I personally use a Austraila.edu email since my online classes didn't provide anything. But, this might be a nice way to get an unlock if you are NoDo and can Go(do) back.
I keep getting the following error when I get to step 2a:

Any ideas what that is?
EDIT: weird.... I just tried it again (for the fourth time) and it worked. So if you get the above error, just keep trying.
I live in country that App hub does not support. Can anyone help me please?
AppHub confirmation step3 is disabled and NEXT button not working
Hmmm only have one problem.
You have to submit an APP and does it come up in marketplace ?.
Dont know how to get a "Dummy APP" to put on market for Winmobile 6.5 or 7.
If you can just put in a random app witch does not get in marketplace then i guess its no problem.
*edit*
Made a Winphone 7 app that does not have any purpose, lets check what happens
All this works.
Sadly I failed the geotrust verification, so I have to send a signed document with a copy of my national ID. Let's hope they believe my history about living in the states but having a ID of another country.
All works fine until i had to verify my account after publishing the dummy app. But now verifying failed and i have to send them my copy of id etc. But how the hell could i send them my info when i give them fake ( generated ) info?

I just said im not from the states but im allowed to have a free marketplace account since im dreamspark verified so this is my dutch passport and it was fine, no lies and we dont have a marketplace either. I had to sign it as well its a 5 minute job and if it takes to long you can open up a chat session and they will process it straight away. I think they are not even reading it haha, i started a chatsession didnt say a word, signed off and minute late got the you are verifie mail.
Man please how did you send them that letter? Can you show me some screenshot how it looks like ? x)

Is the page flawed?
So has anyone else confirmed they have unlocked their phone following this process? I see a few of you working toward it.

This worked for me. I can unlock up to 3 devices. Only used one so far.

Sadly it'd require me giving you my Windows Live ID & password, which I'm not exactly fond of lol. You need to enter it into the unlocker tool installed on the pc the device is connected to. Just folow the information giving by the OP closely with your real information (don't make up a fake ID) & it'll work. It took a couple hrs for me to finally get verified.
Where is 1B?

No because it contains my id and autograph.
But its very simple, just print the mail they snend you, fill in everything add a copy of your id, scan it and email it back. Its not even a letter, just add what i said above as your motivation.
Did you received the email from geotrust?
****, I'm stucked again.
The apphub doesn't let me choose my country, so I chose USA and now geotrust rejects my documentation because it's not from the USA.
Ahh, Microsoft, always fu*king the third world.
Got a nice little MotoACTV? Love to workout with it? But can't figure out how to export your data from MotoACTV.com to, say Runkeeper.com?
Well, good news.
I've just published a new HealthGraph App to do just that.
[deleted]
You can also find it through the Runkeeper Apps:
[deleted]
Yes that's a strange site name. If I get enough subscribers I'll get a better domain, in the mean time it is what it is.
Once you are at the site, you have to connect to press the "Connect to Runkeeper" button and follow the Open Authentication process. None of your Runkeeper account information is posted to redsneaker.us. And my server doesn't store any data from your profile, it is all embedded in the encrypted session key in your browser cookie.
You will then see a table showing your most recent Runkeeper Activities (so you can make sure you're not posting duplicates).
Next, you will have to supply your MotoACTV login credentials. MotoACTV doesn't have a public API and doesn't have an Open Authentication process. However, your credentials are not stored on the site, simply included in the encrypted session information. The down side of this is you will have to supply them each time you connect.
Once you have successfully connected you will see a list of your MotoACTV workouts and next to each a button labeled 'Send to Runkeeper'. Just press the button, and in a few seconds your workout data will be posted to Runkeeper in a new Activity, including your GPS track and heartrate data.
Currently only "Running" workouts are supported, though you can just edit the activity in Runkeeper. I'll be adding support for other activities soon.
If you like it, please become Runkeeper Elite through the link on my site. Or you can donate to me, but I think you'd be happy with the additional value of being Runkeeper Elite.
For those who do become Elite through my site I will enable a daemon to monitor your MotoACTV workouts and automatically post a Runkeeper Activity when a new workout is posted. This will allow you to use the MotoACTV using stock software and a few minutes after the MotoACTV automatically posts your data to MotoACTV.com your data will also appear on Runkeeper as a new activity! Simple!
Please also understand this site is not in a polished state yet, I haven't made any effort to work on the CSS (stye), and didn't want to delay access to the technical bits while trying to make it flashy. At the end of the day, my goal is for you to not need to access my site anyway, just go directly to Runkeeper.
5 Sep 2012: Fixed a bug in the temp file handling, was causing some workouts to fail with "internal server error".
Sep 2016: My app and site have been permanently retired. Too much work and cost to keep it up purely as a service to humanity. Thanks for your interest!
+1 for Strava
Strava doesn't look that difficult. I've looked at their API and it's a pretty easy REST site. Unfortunately they don't do OAUTH, so you'd have to supply credentials, just like the MotoACTV. But I think I may use Strava as a test case for ensuring the middle layer in my code is site independent.
an output for runtastic.com would be also great!!!
Another vote for STRAVA
I've tried the App a few times now and it's excellent. It would be nice to import as "cycling" as well but it's no problem changing it on the runkeeper site after import. Thanks again for your work.
I hope you do an output to Strava next. It has one killer feature that beats runkeeper - "Segments". Give it a try and you'll see what I mean, it's highly addictive.
I have been manually exporting my Motoactv data into Strava for a while and it works very well but would love an App to do it for me.
Missing workouts?
First , congrats for your app! It works perfect from the first time!
Just a question: I only could upload runs from 8/8 until today. But I have recorded, exercises from 16/7 and aren't listed. Is there a way to request these runs , so I can upload to Runkeeper?
It loads one month of MotoACTV workouts. I meant to add navigation buttons to get to earlier ones, but didn't want to hold up release for it. Soon...
+1 good work.
sounds like a really cool idea keep getting internal server error, have tried at work and on my home machine but when i go to sync my motoactv account it just says internal server error 500, anyone else getting this message?
Hi, was there any further progress on the strava upload. It would be amazing. Thanks.
If it is possible to download workouts from the MOTOACTV-Portal it should be also possible to upload data???
This gave the possibility upload tracks and sync them with the MOTOACTV to follow the tracks.

The error 500 comes from a resource not found, and it actually is generated due to an authentication issue with MotoACTV. Unfortunately since the offending authentication data is stored in your browser session cookie, it can't be cleared without removing the session cookie.
How to delete cookies depends on your browser, but it's usually somewhere inside the privacy settings. Delete all the cookies for leeloo.doesntexist.com and try reconnecting, but make sure you have the right username and password.
Hint: the username should be an email address. Yeah, I could add code to verify you're using a proper username... But I haven't had spare time to throw at the MotoACTV in a while.
Let me know if this takes care of the issue.
Just became Elite!
This is the answer to my dreams. Thanks!
I just registered for 1 year of Runkeeper Elite through the affiliate link on the site.
How do I set it up to auto - upload my Motoactv runs to Runkeeper? Do you have to enable that manually?
Great site one bug
I joined run keeper thru your site I like what your doing however all my activities are imported with 7773.70 miles I would love to run this but I'm struggling with 4 miles

Sometimes I have the same error.
Do you have the possibility to package the import process available from your website into a android application ?
Because If your website will be offline, the import from Motoactv to runkeeper don't be possible.
Thk for your job.
Server been having issues lately? All i get when I try to push not is 500 errors.
I hope it gets fixed. I absolutely love this app.

I only have that problem if I don't have a GPS lock for the entire run. Make sure your GPS is solid and it'll work.
I just got a motoactv and want to know if this is still being supported and in active development. Thanks!
I'm not able to connect to the site anymore, either via the direct link or through the RunKeeper site. Is this project all finished, or can we hold out hope that it will be back up & running? Thanks.

Now, works again !
I am wanting to know if it is possible to have my NFC ring log me into a stranger's phone as a guest with limited access. This way I could have my complete contact list and Gmail etc. On any device.
I imagine a bloatware app would have to be installed all participating devices and running in the background to make this a reality. Or possibly a guest login button on the lock screen and then it would allow the NFC transfer.
So could this happen? Is there enough space to store the necessary data and instructions on a ring. If so would someone please help me make this. I want it to work so badly and I can't find any other information out there about this.
