If you have a recent (WM6/6.1) ROM, you should find "Internet Sharing" in the programs menu. It may also be in the comm manager.
Run that, activate the connection within it, and connect your device to your PC.

lol, you make it sound so easy!
Not poking fun at you at all, just my experience with internet sharing has been.....to say the least, hit and miss.
Sometimes it works just like you say, other time I end up wanting to break the laptop over my knee, jump up and down on it till it turns to little techno dust beneath my feet, and mail it back to MS attn Bill Gates and tell him to shove it.

I asked the question in the thread but since its past thirty pages I don't think people read that far into it anymore. Please help.
I think I have a memory leak with IM+ I downloaded both the Touchflo and Professional and they both have the same problem. When I go to send an IM to someone the IM box opens but the typing area doesn't show nething just the previous screen where the text box is supposed to be. I used agile but that doesn't connect for ****.
I also have a problem with connection to the internet. I used the network wizard but same thing. I changed the settings from wap.voicestream to internet2 since I pay $30 a month for the internet. Still same problem takes long to grab a connection. Also if it does connect and I minimize a program like IM+ or whatever the internet disconnects then.
This is such a great rom so quick I don't wanna get another one just cuz of these to problems but its getting annoying. Please help because this will cure my flashing addiction if I figure it out.

There is no memory leak in the ROM but.... the Touchflo have a leak... the rest is a IM+ problem not a ROM problem
When i don't startup Touchflo there is np but after using it i miss some mem
Try advancedconfig v1.0 for your connection. problem... and deleted all conn. setting and enter them again.

I'll try the connection stuff at home but I got another question if it's not the rom then what is it. Because the IM+ worked perfectly fine with all the other roms except these two. Worked perfect on the regualr TNT.

T-Mobile branded MDA. Reflashed to a Windows Mobile 6 version by "mfrazzz"
1. Battery life. TERRIBLE. I think it might be the phone. Got two other batteries. One lasts about as long as the original one I had and the other last just a little longer. Have yet to try a 100% new battery yet. In about 5 hours off the chrager with maybe a phone call and a few texts, it will drop to about 70%. Any ideas?
2. My MMS does not work. I know its from when I switched it over to WinMo6 and all the "fields" are empty for the settings. Customer Care wouldn't help me so does anyone on here have the required information I need to put it?
3. My LAN does not work. Possibly another thing from doing the WinMo6 deal. When I go to the Comm Manager and click LAN, the little windows loading icon comes up and goes off with the LAN not turning on.
in regard to the MMS not working, run the cab i attached. after that i reccomend going into the MMS settings/servers and then selecting the T-Mobile MMS connection, go in there (you'll see server name and such) and go to the bottom and change "Connect Via" from T-Mobile MMS to T-Mobile Data. that works well for me. keep that cab handy for future use as well.

i charge mine everyday... that was the same with wm5, but i can get almost two days of some phone and lots of email if i have to (gets down to about 10%). i dont think ive seen any pocketpcs that can make it much past two days with normal use... but it should not drop quite that fast -> one thing to try is go down to the 2.19 radio and look around for the power saving cabs (for some network connections and memory card) that are also built in to the later roms. both together make a big difference. also put your screen brightness to the lower setting, thats what really sucks the power.
if you like the xda roms, try going to xda 5. or try any of the other popular roms, nothin's pandora, antc wiz 2.0, theloon's kitchen for a custom, boring 1622, any TNT rom, whiterat's WRCX, etc... keep trying em out
i advise you to flash to an official rom first to get rid of any corrupt registries.once you do that....flash your favorite rom and after flashing HARD RESET....i do this to be on the safe side....

you may want to do a search for "clean extended rom". when u flash back to an official rom, they generally have an extended rom...upgrading to a cooked rom usually doesn't upgrade the extended rom...has been known to sometimes cause battery drain issues.

if you want to do the ext rom, 2.19 radio, and ipl/spl 3.08 (might as well, its like a computer's bios) here is all three at once
2.19.11_3.08_WM6Splash_BlankExt.rar
update with this last after going back to tmo and flashing to any custom wm6 rom. after flashing with the wm6, don't worry about the setup, just go straight to the all in one, then do setup after.
Whew, should have know I'd get replies that look like hyroglyphics...LOL! I will have to do some reading to fully understand everything you guys are talking about haha. dummy version of all that possibly?
On the battery life. My screen brightness is in the middle. My other MDA would last over a full day. Heck, I left it off the charger one night without one message or call and it dropped 1%. Now, I can do that and within 2 hours it will drop like 8%

hey we all learned it at some point
radio is the raw code that drives the "radio" in your Wizard. it tells it how to search for a signal, what to lock on to, how to switch between voice and data, all the code that is need for the basic phone part of the PDA to work.
the extended rom is usually used by carriers (att, tmo, etc...) to install their custom software for the branded device, i.e. wizard becomes mda or 8125. after first starting the phone, a file called autorun.exe starts loading extra programs that are added on to the base operating system. it also starts loading the CAB files from the extended ROM, 10MB worth in the case of the wizard. these are things like MyFaves, the connection settings for data on the TMO or ATT networks, the setup my email link, etc...
hope that helps...
Not to take away from anyone else's work, but I flashed the T-Mobile Boring ROM, and haven't had a hitch, once I got all the internet setting right. I also am running the 2.71 GSM, and I can honestly say my mda runs better now than it did when it was new. Battery life improved, too. I am also a noob, and tried a couple others before I flashed this one...this worked best for me, since I didn't want to do all the tweaking (yet ) that more advanced users on this board know to do automatically.

THANKS! Good to know the n00bs don't get flamed too bad here
Ok my IPL/SPL right now on my G3 device is 2.26. If I want the 3.08 can I go right to it or do I need to go down to the 1.05? To go from the XM6r3 to XM6r5 what do I need to do? Should I just be able to go straight to that? It already CID unlocked and stuff for the current version I am on. Just confused on how to go from what I have now to the new one.
Thanks in advance!
Please Help
Ughh. Just went to XM6r5 and I have the same exact problems.....
Battery life still terrible. When I was done reflashing I was at 97% and after going through the settings without one phone call or text its already at 87%
The WLAN is still not working. Go to the Comm. Manager, click on WLAN, the windows loading icon comes up like its going to turn on, the windows loading icon goes off and the WLAN never turns on.
MMS messaging still says "error syncronizing"
Still on the 2.26 ROM
BUMP. Battery went down 6% in 10 minutes.... Is there a way I can just get back to WM5?
Oops, double post.

For the quick fix I don't use MMS that much but I know that I can with your help.
hi everyone.
im new to wm6-can navigate and use reasonably well-came from a prophet before.
my problem is when i pick up the touch after it being idle/unused for some time when i check the screen, the gprs has somehow connected itself. even if the touch has been keylocked it still seems to be able to connect to the vodafone network.
is it possible that the power button also acts as a connect button and i dont know about it??
the touch is stock standard and is only really used as a phone. any help or thoughts would be appreciated!!
also the bluetooth turns itself off reguarly when its connected to an earpiece. it hasnt happened incall but it seems to happen when the earpiece/touch are idle and nothing has happened between them.. again any thoughts appreciated. thanks in advance.
regarding your first question: are you using the "Weather"-apllication that comes with the cruise?
Try using this free application. I am using it too.

is there a software of where you can answer your Fuze's phone call or make a phone call wireless from your pc?? like you have your fuze in one room and someone calls and youre on the computer, on the computer it alerts you and you can answer the call and talk straight from the computer without havin to go all the way to the other room and getting it, if anyone knows a software that can do that plz tell me, thnx alot
I haven't done this but I think you can do that over bluetooth. I was just playing around with my Bluetooth the other day and saw hands free as an option. So maybe the software is built right in to windows. But as i said I haven't tried it so i don't know if it is or not.
Also an alternative to a computer, is getting a Bluetooth head set so when the phone rings you just turn the headset on and start chatting.
Hopes this helps

bluetooth is good... range is maybe up to 32 feet or so...
you can find cheap bluetooth deals (i got a Nokia BH200 for $0.99 after rebate, though there's no noise cancellation... if you need a good one, look for one with noise cancellation
something like it, but not quite...
if you had your bluetooth connected to the phone and the phone is in another room, you can use mymobile.. I found it through blownfuze.org which has an excellent site for finding anything for the phone... the webmaster at blownfuze.org doesn't allow anyone to just link to their page, so out of respect, i list the site and where to go...

I installed Skype on my HTC 8525/Hermes (custom Schap's ROM for 6.0) a few months ago and it installed with no problem but just won't connect. It goes through the motions with the swirling icon, but finally times out. The same happened when I installed Skype on my 'new' TG01. I looked in the WM forums here and someone said to try a different ROM. I'm now on my 2nd ROM, FXDJ's excellent 6.5 ROM2_0,update 6, and still have the same problem. Of course, I tried it first with the original Orange 6.5 version. I've also tried 3 different Skype versions for WM that all installed with no errors. If anyone has a solution I would really appreciate it! BTW, during install it says have to have wi-fi/Active Sync or 3G connection. We don't even have 2G in this area of Thailand so connected to Internet via Active Sync.
Thanks in advance!
I tried my luck with Skype on TG01 a long time ago, both winmo6.1 and 6.5, found some outdated (even at that moment) skype winmo kits but they didn't seem to work anymore. Skype communication being proprietary, they can change it whenever they want, thus rendering old kits useless...
If however anybody does have Skype on Tg01, please share it with us the noobs that don't know that it works on winmo... Thanks

Greetings a_nini75,
I do remember a Skype announcement last year IIRC saying they weren't going to support WM anymore, but I thought that was just for software updates. Also, other WM users here seem to still be able to connect. My brother has been using Skype on his BB Storm 2 with no problems until recently when it suddenly would not connect to the Skype server. He called his telecom to see if they were blocking the connection but they said no blocking whatsoever. Now that M$ bought Skype one would think that WM support would rise from the ashes. Sure hope someone has a fix!

Thanks for the link. I have this version already and it didn't work, but downloaded and installed it from your link and it's doing the same thing...showing the Skype white and blue screen with the spinning icon, but not connecting. I confirmed that my Internet connection was good before starting it. Any suggestions?

Greetings pozitiv00,
I've tried that over and over again with 2 different phones, 2 different versions of WinMo and 2 or 3 or 4 different Skypemobile cab/exe files and it still won't connect. The Skype icon just spins. I wonder if connecting directly via USB to Windows Mobile Device Center (W7 Ult.) might cause a problem, since my D-Link Wi-Fi modem is in the shop...again. I've also tried connecting to Skype via cell tower, also no joy. I can peruse any other website except Skype.
This is baffling!
Yeahhh
I can send you CAB-file for SKYPE that works, and U can send me code of some PPC programs whats need it .

Sure, just send me a PM. I'm not having a problem with installing any of the Skype versions, they just won't connect. They go through all the motions, but just won't connect to the Skype server. As far as PPC programs I'll be happy to share whatever I have.
