I have an iPod Touch and want to be able to access the internet wherever I go. I originally thought that it was only possible if I was within a WiFi "Hotspot", then I stumbled upon "TalynOne"'s post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341398
This is exactly what I would like, however, I am very much a novice with this sort of thing! I have managed to jailbreak my ipod touch, so I'm not an absolute novice, but I have some questions that I would like advice on please:
(I am in the UK)
1. I know I must get another phone (as the mobile I currently have is not suitable for this job). What is the most economical phone for me to buy (I prefer no contract as I already have a contracted phone from my company)?
2. Is there a "Dummy's" guide to setting this up? (I have downloaded the file, but I have no idea where to put it or how to execute it!)
3. Is this probably beyond my capabilities?
4. Am I in the correct forum?
Many thanks for any replies and I apologise if I'm out of line here.
Guess I'm in the wrong place. No harm in asking though

Hi,
I recently upgraded to Vodafone's v1415, and there's one feature I dearly miss from my old phone. That's having it beep or vibrate every 5 minutes or so if it has a new notification (such as a text message, a missed call, etc) until I respond. Is there a way to set that up with this phone?
Thanks.
You can do this with mortscript. Use the search function. It should be somewhere on the forum!
Thanks for the quick reply. I looked around a bit on the forum but couldn't find anything that didn't involve upgrading Windows or some other dramatic change. Did I miss something, or is that the only way?
I have to admit to being very new to the whole scene; this is my first smartphone, so I'm not familiar with most of what's written on the forum. I'm usually good with technology though, so if upgrading Windows is indeed the only way, I wouldn't need a guide for *complete* idiots
It is very simple to flash a rom (upgrade windows as you put it). I would suggest doing that anyway, if you arent completely against it. Check the Vox Wiki, which is located in my sig and read about flashing roms and decide if you want to go that route.
Hi all,
I'm pretty new to this forum and it's my first post. I'am also not an english speaker so I'll try to make myself as clear as possible (also hope I'm in the good section).
I recently acquired an Airis T483 smartphone, running WM6.1 (very unknown smartphone, I don't even find a link to show you its charasteristics...).
Anyway, I (and users using this phone) are having a big issue, and the Airis Company doesn't want to help us.
Basically, the phone volume is really really slow. Even with all volume indicators at their max, we almost can't use the phone because we merely can hear the person calling... This is so annoying, because our first use is off course to be able to use it as a phone. And for now we HAVE to use earphones to hear correctly.
We contacted the company Airis and their support and they are saying that the volume is correct and it corresponds to the standards... They keep up saying they are not modifying firmaware and can just replace our phone with identical ones...
So this is my question : Is it possible to find a software (or even write one) that can add "gain" to the volume level (I mean that can increase the volume, even when actually it's on 100%). So we can hear when we are using the phone.
Note : use of the speakerphone is excluded for privacy reasons...
I (and not only me) will be eternally grateful to anyone who could help us, even by pointing us to something we could maybe develop (we have basic knowledge and skills in programming).
Thank you all

Welcome to the forum
As your device is not HTC build and this forum focuses on that, not sure if this would work:

This is about a tweak on a windows file that doesn't exist actually in my phone... looks like it exists only in HTC made phones

Thank you for the links, but it's not working for me. I explain :
These threads are about the SRS WOW app that could effectively be a solution for me. I had a hard time with this software so I'm going to tell you what happenned :
- First you have to find the good version of SRS WOW HD for PPC with WM6.1 to have it "install" correctly. For me it was the version 1.21 found on one of the links you gave me. It's the only that installed correctly and I was able without a load error like 'ERROR : driver missing'....
- Then, my phone was silent (which was predictable according to the posts of guys who tried it with WM 6.1).
- I did the registry tweaks but it did not work. I placed correctly the old values in the right keys etc... but the phone keeps silent. Hopefully by uninstalling the program everything goes back to normal. I went through all night reading about this and it appears that the soft has compatibility issues with WM6.1 and some smartphone or PPCs (by the way, I know it's a dumb question, but have I a smartphone or a PPC ??? I'm kind of lost :s )
So, at the end, I still don't have found a solution. Pleease I'm beging... Help me find a way, don't do the work at my place, just point me somewhere to look for if you could.
I'm ready to develop something, I'm ready to give specs about my phone (BTW I discovered in the device database that it has Mono sound, not stereo... is that relevant ?), I'm ready to give a dump of the registry and look into it with help of someone... anything that could help.
If you have even just a thought, a lead, please share it. Thank you very much.
P.S : During this long night i found an application called "Audio Gain Tweaker", sounds like a dream... but only compatible with... HTC phones !!! So if someone of you guys needs a gain, he knows where to start searching
Ok, it's definitely a PPC, I got the difference now.
Regarding my problem, anyone has a clue ? What should I do, I mean can I post this thread to the Development and hacking section ???
Up ???????
I did a quick search and couldn't really find any specifics about your phone... try this program... again its made for hTC but is worth a try...

Thanks for your help, but it's same as last answer. This tweak is about a file called AudioPara3.csv which in HTC phones is situated in the windows folder. The goal is to replace it by the tweaked one, but I don't have such file in my phone and placing it into windows folder doesn't change anything ! (I tried off course...)
What do you think I should do ? Contact dev and hacking section ? Is there anyone who can help me finding relevant keys with a dump of my registry ???
Hi everyone.
I'm on an HTC Ozone provided by verizon with windows mobile 6.5. I understand that there is supposed to be an internet connection sharing app with my phone, although I can't find anything supporting that. As per recommendation found here, I looked in the windows directory, but no luck. (So I did my homework.)
In the end, I'd like to be able to use my phone and creat an access point, allowing devices to connect and use my data plan.
If anyone knows what free options I have in terms of this, your input is greatly valued
Hi,
I've searched a lot on the forum and on other sites as well.
While I'm a noob, I do get that BBM is a pin based messaging application, and no one can generate a fake pin.
Also, that getting the service provider to activate Blackberry services on a phone whose EMEI doesnt match is difficult.
I was using a blackberry, and thus have a pin number. Also my sim card (I am on a GSM network) already has full blackberry services which are active and paid for. If i put the sim back in my bb, everything works perfectly.
Now the question i ask is, since BBM is essentially a java app, is it possible for me to somehow install or emulate it on my android using my old Blackberry pin??
I found that this is possible for the iPhone (not sure of how well it works):
edit: I'm not able to post links as i'm a noob, so you'll have to open these manually! sorry. My apologies also for going around the rule, but the post would be incomplete without this info!

wevito.com/Blog/Entries/2009/10/31_How_to_use_bbm_on_your_iphone.html
the interesting question is, can something like this work on Android.
And if anyone would not mind answering a iPhone related question, is the above shown genuinely possible?
Thanks in advance for the help guys. Hopefully this is a new train of thought and not something I missed in my searches!
Black Knight
no help here?
even a simple it can't be done??
It would be nye on impossible..you'd need to have your phone permanently connected to the blackberry service (and paying the £5 a month for the pleasure) thus blackberry would know its not a genuine BB connected (due to the invalid PIN). I suppose the only way its possible is if you have an old BB, nick its PIN and emulate the phone. I cannot begin to imagine how much battery that would use.
All in all, get whatsapp.
thanks ptdborth..
i already have whatsapp...but its impossible to convice all of my old BB contacts to get it!
i'm already paying for the BB service, (paid in advance for a year) and I do have a old blackberry whose PIN i can nick!
so my question exactly is, how do I nick the old pin and use it/emulate it in the new phone??
thanks!
A Good New Year for everyone.
I'm very frustrated with a HTC TRIN100 my daughter offered me recently. I've posted a question about how should i proceed as to flash the rom WM5 into WM6 (maybe to Mary 37) via Memory Card, once i do not know how to Sync the damned thing with M$ Active Sync, unfortunately untill now nobody cared to feed me back on this issue.
Meanwhile i've been trying to install some applications (lately: Xplore for WM...) and the .cab just wheels and wheels around and no joy -- nothing.
I'm so enraged with this piece of gadget that if it was my own acquisition, i swear i would through it into the garbage tin, but once it was a gift from my girlie, i feel i must restrain my aggressive ticks.
Anyway: would some 'simpatico' kind expert explain what can i do to mend this stupid situation: as long as i leave it the sails logo continue to wheel around and produce nothing in the stupid object and i will remain thankfuly obliged.
Would thank any objective help, of course.

You flash the ROM with an RUU file. The RUU is an application you run on your PC with the phone connected.
Typically flashing from a memory card involves entering the bootloader and a few other unnecessary steps (if it can even be done with WM devices)
The only time I ever flash using a memory card is typically if I'm working on an Android device. Other than that it's RUU for me. Much simpler process.
