Hi All
Newb here - I just bought a HTC 710 and was wondering is there anyway of of unlocking the ROM so you can change settings - I have two issues - I cant browse the Windows directory from a PC - that is the main one - second one is I want to change the sound file which is played when the keyboard is slid open
Many thanks
Kp
PS I posted this in the unlocking section before I found this dedicated area - Sorry
I guess you've found this by now but changing the sound when you open / close the keyboard is just in the settings screen. Settings / Sounds i beleive. I set mine to "None" since it would never play without skipping anyway!!
I have no idea about the other problems though - sorry.
How to see the windows directory from your PC(via Active Sync)
Just connect your VOX to your PC, via USB. I am using ActiveSync version 4.5.0. Press the Explore Device(not sure how exactly it sounds in english, I have it in russian). This should show you the files on your mobile device. In the Mobile Device window, at the top chose Service(also not sure how it is in English, it's the fourth one from File, the one befor the last). there chose Folder Properties(the last choise) Then in the tab View at the bottom in the smaller window you should have the choise "show hidden files", choose it. Now when you open My Windows Based Mobile Device, you should see the windows folder.

Hi
I have the above app but I cant the installation CAB to put it on my PDA, can anyone adise what its called and where it's located at all please?
Thanks
PB
there's a cab file in 'PDA' folder amoungst the program files in my installation. MM say to install from the UI (pda menu) though so I'm not sure if this cab will work as a direct method - be keen to know though as I can't get my version to install to my elf from the app. Let me know how you get on if you try it!

With MM running on the PC and the mobile device connected via AS simply select "Mobile Device" / "Install Pocket Navigator" this selection from the menu bar will install the application to your device, then work out which part of the map you need on the mobile unit and transfer that over.
Don't try putting a full map section onto the PDA/ Phone as it will not be capable of opening it, just use the "send visible portion of map" to load sections of map - I tend to keep the map size below 150MB when using a PDA - Mike
Thanks Mike I completely missed that one...
Its easily missed to be honest, when I switched to MM5 I had to search for the PDA install as it was quite different to what I was used to - hope you have it all working now though - Mike
Hello I was browsing the forums to find the remote desktop application which comes with windows mobile 6.1 since it was not included in my brand new HTC Touch Pro (don't know why HTC decided to remove it in the first place) and I found a cab file in one of the threads. However when I installed the application is listed as "wpctsc" in the programs menu.
Is there a way to rename it (probably through registry) intro something that makes a little more sense?
I don`t know if it works with regular File Explorer, but Total Commander allows you to go in the Windows > Start Menu > and there is a list of applications which you can see in Start Menu and in Programs Menu, just scroll in the application you want to rename and vĂ²ila ? Do not remove .Ink from the filename.. >_>
Thank you very much that worked great!!!
Please bear with me, as this is my first windows mobile phone and I'm not all too familiar with it.
First problem is, tapping "Launch Browser" on the Internet tab does not work. After thinking about it for a while, I realized that the Opera browser was not installed on my device! Now, as far as I know, it should come already in all devices. So, I downloaded the Opera 9.5 browser off their website. How can I set it up so when I tap "Launch Browser" on the Internet tab, Opera 9.5 will automatically run? Currently tapping it still does nothing.
Second is, I've been hearing about this "Windows" folder in the HTC Touch Pro. I can't seem to locate this. When I browse for it with my computer, the name of the TP's "hard drive" is "\", and then I see the following folders:
Application Data, ConnMgr, Content, Documents and Settings, Music, My Documents, Program Files, cemail (hidden file), pim
Is this root folder the "Windows" folder?
Third thing is, in the "Programs" tab in TF3D, there's this icon there that when I press (looks like the default icon for a folder in Vista), it gives me an error. It says "The file 'wt5jetpr' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."
There we go, that's all. Thank you, if you've read this far.
I can't help with the Opera thing but as for your Windows folder, it's a system file and hidden. You will have to unhide it in your Vista/XP operating system before you can see it using your PC>
You see, I already enabled the viewing of hidden folders. There aren't any other items other than the ones I listed.
EDIT: I tried creating a folder called "Windows" and Vista tells me I can't, because a folder of the same name already exists.
That's weird.. hidden folders are already enabled and I still can't see it.
Hiya, i'm a bit of a noob myselft with regards to wm6.1 so for the opera issue i dont think i could be much help with that same with the file that wont delete so i hope someone else will answer that, to see ur windows folder though when the phone is connected to the pc open up explorer on ur pc and click on tools/folder options then click on view and make sure either the "hide protected operating system files" box is unchecked &/or the "show hidden system files box is checked and this should let you see the windows folder.
Hope this helps.
EDIT: looks like someone already answered in the time it took me to type that, my own fault for multitasking ...

Same thing as you, when I browse to the device from Windows Explorer.
However, if I go to Tools - Folder Options - View tab and I select "Show hidden files and folders", the Windows directory is displayed.

By the name, it looks like it is JetCet Print 5.
Strange you have these errors. Do you use a custom ROM?
PS: been too slow to answer too. but at least the answers match ;-)
I'm not using a custom rom =\. The rom came with my device.
It's:
1.90.405.1.WWE
It's a HTC Touch Pro T7272
Then I advise you to do a Hard Reset. Opera and JetCet print should be there, and should not give you any certificate errors.
I advise you to read a lot these forums, gather as much info as you can, and experimenting with your device. You have a powerhouse in your hands, you know? you have unlimited possibilities. Any questions should you have must be asked.
Alright, I'll give that a try tomorrow after the day's gone so I have lots of time to figure things out.
Sorry for the double post, but I figure this message won't get read if I simply edit my last post.
Anyways, I hard resetted the device and I got Opera and that printing program working! Thanks creiz.
Just one last thing I'm trying to figure out.. is there any way I can get a custom alarm ring tone without downloading a program? (I'm trying to avoid having to do that if possible)
Hello all,
I'm kinda new to this forum and also new to the windows mobile users. Last week I got my 1st smartphone ever. It's the MDA Vario IV.
Im now trying to change the interface a bit, cuz I got the ugly t-mobile interface. I've already put the black HTC TouchFlo3d on it.
Now I want to put a black Windows Mobile theme on it.
I downloaded the .tsk file, and now I got told that I have to put this
into my Windows dir on my phone. The problem is, i can't find a Windows directory. I did a search on both my phone and pc to look for .tsk files, but can't find any, so I can't locate the Windows dir.
I checked settings/personal/today and I got some themes installed for Windows Mobile, but just can't find them. Can anybody help me please?
Im using Windows Vista btw.
on ur phone in the file explorer it should open "my documents as default, just above the list of files to the top right (under the windows logo) it should have an icon of a phone and the word my documents if you tap this word a drop down menu will pop down and show some locations
My device
my documents(with a dot to the left)
then a line the any extra storage you have
click on my device
now you should see a new list of files
application data
connmgr
documents and settings
etc
the last file should be windows, click this and paste the .tsk file in there
Many tnx to u jayjay8585! It worked, ur my hero!
Youtube App: "Connection Failed" on HTC Diamond 2 and some general Questions
Hi, I just bought my HTC Diamond 2 [Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro] last month and the Youtube App is the one that is pre-installed on my phone.
My carrier is At&t and the connection is EDGE.
My problem is when I open the youtube app, I get the message: "Warning: Connection failed. Please try again." I checked that my internet is working because I can browse different sites through Opera and I can still update the weather. I found out that youtube app works perfectly fine ONLY when my diamond2 is connected to my laptop via ActiveSync. As soon as I disconect it, the message returns and the videos in my history will not load anymore.
I searched the forum for similar problems and had tried opening Internet Explorer etc with no success. I don't think anyone mentioned that their youtube app actually worked [ONLY] when it's connected to a pc. Please help! I want to use it on the go, not when I'm near my laptop.
Some general questions:
I had no success in trying to increase Window Opera's max tab to 5 (the default is at 2!!!) through opera:config [this thing will not save!!] The other option is to copy the opera.ini file from \windows\opera9 directory to the pc and manually change it. How do I get to "windows" from my pc? I see it when I go to File Explorer from my phone but when I connect my phone to the pc via ActiveSync, I do not see the "Windows" file in my laptop. If it's hidden somehow, how do I unhide it? If not how do I get to this file?
The second question I have is how do I get to the registry of the phone?
This Diamond2 is my first smartphone so I'm extremely new to Window Mobile and pocket PC's in general. Just want to say that I'm grateful for all the stuff I learned from exploring this forum. Any additional help is also appreciated.
anyone? about my youtube problem?

For Youtube : Go to Settings > Connections Tab > Connections (Again ^^) > Advanced > Select Networks, and be sure you have choose the right DATA connection to connect.
For Opera : You have to be sure you click "Save" on opera:config, when you click on a sub-section, it deploys the section, and at the bottom of the section you have "Save".
By the way, if you want to access to your Windows directory (for another thing, soft), install Total Commander on your diamond2 (Google it). Or with your PC : If you have XP, open an explorer, Tools (on the top) > Folders Options > go to the second TAB and search the option to display all folders.
(For Vista/Seven : Organize > Folder & Search options. On an explorer window.)
For the registry, you can access to the registry with TotalCommander, or an another soft (with more functionnality) : PHM Regedit (Google it )
If you have others questions.
Hi, I've found my answers for those general questions by searching through this and other forums. But thanks anyway for answering them.
Back to youtube, I still have no success in getting this thing to work. What do you mean by "choose the right DATA connection to connect"? When I am in "Select Networks," I have a list of choices: My ISP name, MEdia Net, AT&T ISP, My Work Network, and My ISP. It is in MEdia Net when I first went in and MEdia Net seems to be the only connection that allows me to get online, all the others failed when I changed to it. I guess that's the right DATA connection to connect?
Then it's the same situation with that youtube App, I can go online but I get this error message when I open the youtube app.
Again I'm in the US, with AT&T's EDGE data connection. Thanks.
hum i don't know! have you a stock ROM or a custom? if it's a custom try to know on the ROM topic if any similar problem appear.
Do you use any proxy settings for your data connections? you don't have result with search on XDA?
My rom is not custom, it's whatever it is when I bought the phone. And no proxy setting. Searched the forum, found some youtube "connection failed" threads but it's either a different problem and got fixed or I tried the solution with no result.
Right now I think I will search for another wvga youtube player and install that, see if a different one works.
bump* I was searching the forum and didn't find this solution posted anywhere so I chose this thread to post the solution (at least it worked for my Tilt2 Rhodium).
I had the problem with my Tilt2 (Rhodium). See if yours has this:
Go to Start-Tools-Proxy Manager-Disable Proxy
After I ran that cab file (Disable Proxy) the Youtube app worked.
I have a HTC Diamond "1" with the same problem. After selecting a clip to watch I get the same message.
Unfortunately, I can't find a "proxy manager" on my settings.
So any other suggestions? Thanks.
I also have this issue on my Rhodium. There is no "proxy manager" setting anywhere I've seen on the device. Plus, my YouTube app doesn't even have accessible settings.
Im having a very similar issue but my youtube app opens displays todays top videos or whatever and it also searches and displays the results but when i tap to watch a video it just sits there loading until it finally says connection failed. I think a simple reinstall of the app would fix the issue but I cant find the cab anywhere except the new app which has horrible video quality but it works lol.
