WM6 -Is it possible to use a pocket pc as a bluetooth modem for another pocket pc? - General Topics

I would like to use my MDA vario iii as a bluetooth modem to access the internet from my Ameo (htc Athena). Is this possible?
They are both running stock t-mobile WM6 ROMs. I knew how to do this in WM5 using Dial up networking, but have since upgraded the Ameo to WM6 and can't find a way.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

read my related articles in the Wiki on hacking BT DUN into WM5 AKU3 / WM6+
http://www.pocketpcmag.com/old_blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=2121&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1

I have intalled the WM6_BT_DUN.cab on both phones but nothing seems to have changed. I have read the article but couldn't figure out how to actually implement it. Could you let me know how to set the connection up please.

Well, then, look around for a cooked ROM that also has DUN. I'm not sure whether there are any - hopefully there is.

I think not possible. Truefax the faxing software for WM 2003 does not work anymore with WM 5 / 6
Regards
Truefax doesn't work with WM5 or WM6. Can anyone suggest any solutions or is there any possibility that this can be done??

I've answered this question several times (use the forum search engine): no, currently, no PPC-based software is able to do this. You need to use an external faxing service like eFax.

O2 XDA Stellar changing Home screen to HTC one

Hi All, newbie here (well newbie to Stellar and WM6)
I've owned an HP iPaq H5550 with windows mobile 2003 for years and just got my Stellar because it can do everything my iPaq can do...and more in a smaller package...and as a bonus it's also a phone
Just got my Stellar from O2 and it comes with the O2 home screen.
I believe I can change it to the HTC Kaiser home screen?
If I can...where do I get it from...and where do I put it?
Do I just install via activesync or do I just put the .cab file somewhere?
If I do this...can I revert back to the O2 screen if I want to...can I just switch between them?
Any advice welcome thanks.

No, the O2-branded Stellar does not have an FM Radio...now if someone could point me to an answer for my (relatively) simple query I'd be obliged.
Have a rummage through the "Latest cabs for Kaisers thread" - I think there are HTC home cabs in there.
I copy the cab files over to the storage card (using activesync -> explore), then find them with the pocket file manager and run them. Hopefully the HTC home will apear as an option in your today screen settings.
htc home screen
I got mine here:

hope it helps
there is a link for a black wm6 theme there also.
I cant even run new themes from downloaded microsoft. What is going on with the O2 software?

Any 3UK users on WM devices? - Touch Diamond...

has anyone got 3 (UK) to work properly on a windows mobile device/pocket pc?
(MMS don't matter - but internet does)
my tytn/hermes is broken (screen) and not worth repairing so i can't test/try.
been using a K850i since.
I want to buy the HTC Touch Diamond next month (sim-free) and have year left in my 3 contract.
if anyone could share their experiences with 3 on windows mobile i'd be grateful.
I'm using 3 on my Atom Life. Works really well, make sure to use this cab to load your settings if the device doesn't already have them built in.
thanks, there are a few cabs around but people i asked couldn't use 3.
I've not had any problems using an HTC Trinity on 3UK.
It's worked with WM5, WM6 and 6.1.
No problem with internet access or MMS.
Just don't seem to be able to get at all of 3's interactive services from WM phone. (ie video weather etc), but when you've got internet access it doesn't really matter.

Cannot change GPRS Settings - Locked to AT&T
I just upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.1 and it worked like a charm and from first glance it looks amazing however I am stuck with no Internet access.
I am not using AT&T network and everything works fine (calls in/out) but the GPRS settings are locked to AT&T.
I tried adding a new connection but it won't work since the pre-configured AT&T settings cannot be removed.
Can anyone help me unlock the GPRS settings?
Thanks

Yes, I'm curious too.
I don't have a blackjack, only a vox (and mpx200)

In the text is written under the xp section that it is specific for at&t, but at the vista version not. So I don't know if the remark is for both versions. You can try
A quote from samsung.com:
This upgrade contains several enhancements and features. Highlights are listed below.
Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1w/AKU1.0.1
Windows Mobile 6.1 includes new features such as bla bla bla useless info

AKU 1.0.1 means build number between 19202 and 19212, so that build is too old, because there is a newer build 19593 (AKU 1.1.7) from Pantech Duo
yep, and even a 19700 in the Q9h!

From the About:
Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard
CE OS 5.2.19208 (Build 19208.1.0.1)
Radio Version i617UCHH2
RIL Version 2.002
...and for the record, in typical AT&T fashion, they ****ed with stuff to be "smart" and it broke stuff. I'm an actual AT&T customer and I have problems getting some things to connect because of their STUPID, ****ING locked internet settings. So for those of you that are on T-Mobile or Rogers or whoever with an unlocked BJII, you'll have to unlock the internet settings to be able to connect.
Now where's my reg editor so I can fix that?

ATT ICS uses "isp.cingular" (tethering) whereas MEdia Net uses "wap.cingular" (general internet).
Also, the ATT ICS and MEdia Net entries in the connection settings dialog are read only and won't let you edit them, But if you navigate to:
HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4...}\Connections
There will be 2 keys in there. one for ATT ICS and MEdia Net. In those keys there will be a value of ReadOnly. Change the value for these from 1 to 0 and reboot your phone. These connections should now be editable.

app unlock not working
followed the instructions on a fully, properly upgraded BJ2 (radio and OS confirmed) and followed the instructions for the modaco hack and sda unlocker and nothing is changed. I cannot modify the GPRS setting nor make modification in the registry...any clues?
Has anyone been able to add Google Search or a Weather plugin to the new "Sliding" Homescreen. I remember seeing a weather and stock quotes Home Screen plugins in the new HTC phones. I believe these plugins where custumized for the HTC phones, but they "should" work with the new WM 6.1 BJII Home Screen. Someone over at HoFo mentioned that the weather and stocks plugins might be for WM Pro (touchscreen) and therefore won't work on WM 6.1 Standard. I used Google Search with 6.0, but it won't install in the "Sliding" HomeScreen of 6.1.
Anyone?

check out the link in my post. I followed that and had no problem editing and deleting the settings. SDA App Unlock worked fine too. Don't bother with the GPS unlocker. I don't think you need it anymore.
*BUT*
It worked for me so it should work for you...
Good luck!
Remapping the BJII's CV and AT&T keys is easier in WM 6.1 than it was in WM 6.0. But I have been unable to find or figure out how to remap the Press-Hold Home Key in WM 6.0 or 6.1. I want to remap the Press-Hold Home key to start CeleTask instead of Task Manager as I find CeleTask a bit more useful. I like the new new Sliding HomeScreen, but it does not allow one to use apps like Right Menu and Smartoolkit. I know it can be done because I have used XDA cooked ROMs in my Qtek 8310 that had CeleTask remapped to the Press-Hold Home Key. Anyone?
I am glad I found this, works great on my wifes bj ii

Kaiser (Voda V1615) - Need to downgrade to v6.0

Hello all
We have been forced into upgrading our hardware from the Qtek 2020i/HTC P6500 to the Vodafone V1615 (HTC Kaiser) for our nursing staff, the PDAs are used to run a specific application which runs fine on the old models, strangely enough it also works on the Kaisers that have WM6.0 OS.
I do however have 20 PDAs that are running WM6.1, the application will not run on these, I am looking to downgrade a test model back to WM6.0 and was wondering if someone has a WM6.0 ROM I could get hold of.
I hope someone can help with this "little" problem
TIA
Damian Byrne
Update
It appears the application is working now until it attempts to load visit details when it falls over, I am assuming this may be due to the .net version on the PDA. I am going to try and get older .net (cf) versions installed onto the PDA
