Just for reference I am using the Most Beautiful edition rom.
Navigate to HKLM/Software/HTC/CommManager
Do these following steps... (without the quotes)
Change "SuppordedFunctions" to 9 (if only at 7, I will show how to add IR as well)
If you DO NOT have IR in your Comm Manager:
Add a new key and name it "7"
In that key, create a new string value and name it "Default" with the data being "IR"
If you already have IR, then add this to get VOIP:
Add a new key and name it "8"
In that key, create a new string value and name it "Default" with the data being "VOIP"
There you have it. Now you have 9 settings in the Comm Manager. I do not know exactly what it does yet, just wanted to post my findings. Someone can maybe clean this up a little and add it to the Wiki if they find it helpful.
I just enabled this and it does indeed give you an 'IP Phone' icon, plus if you click the settings there is an IP Phone option. Neither actually do anything except make it beep....
I just put a sniffer on to see if there was a DNS lookup for a SIP server or anything when you click the Icon, there isn't I assume this will be something that is provided with your GSM contract and will be pushed down to the phone via OTA. If you click Phone Options, then services and get the settings for Voice Mail & Test Messages there is an option now for 'Internet Voice Mail', this is greyed out though.

at least it's possibly one step closer to figuring out how to get it to work... or at least how to turn it on and off when it is working.
I just tested this on the PDAVIET3 WM6 ROM. This brings up the Error message:
Comm Manager only supports 7 Entries. -> does NOT work.
In order to find out what is causing this please let me know where to check the Version of the Comm Manager(already have a dumped pdaviet3 rom on my pc at home.) so I can compare it to the Version you have.
I hope we can get this VOIP Service figured out soon

Look here
On the other thread about the Internet Calling in WM6 thers is a link to the MSDN site. If you dig about on here you can find lots of information regarding this; I thought this was interersting:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb330889.aspx
Unfortunately I don't have a SIP server so all I can do is sniff the network and watch the phone attempt to connect to the SIP server....

My Comm Manager version is 1.3.2.0
I also have a copy of 1.0.3.0 which I believe is from the 2.25.11 cingular shipped rom.
someone post a screen shot of the voip button please
The one in the linked thread now comes up with 8 functions at most. Has anyone got a rip of the Most Beautiful one?
I do.. here you go
Also working on getting a screen cap of the button.
Hmm that file isn't working for me, the 7 button that was integrated into Orwells worked with 7 max, the 8 button from the linked thread worked with 8 but that one just refuses to run, I'm on the clean WM6 ROM.
I made this cab with trojan9x's attachment and it worked for me
Here is the screenshot
Still no dice, I think a dll or something is needed for the Orwell ROM. Thanks anyway guys.
Here's how mine looks.

im superficial just like everyone else. even if it does nothing... I WANT IT!!
Cab-file works for me @ WM6 MB-edition (thnx guys). But unfortunately when I click on settings>ip phone, nothing happens..
good one..
maybe someday we'll have x10 or more buttons to come..
hehe..
Great Find Trojan9x. It pushes us one more step closer to understanding the "Internet Calling" Feature.
@ TROJAN9x:
I tried adding these Registry settings on my HERMES with WM6 and it says that only 7 is supported. Do you have ny clue about HERMES and it's limitations or do you think there might be another setting for this?
But it works fine on my Wzards.
A new Input Method for Windows Mobile
A quick review
TouchPal is a brand new Input Method for Windows mobile which is pretty fast, accurate and convenient. But what’s best is that it is completely free for download until december 8!
In opposition to other solutions, TouchPal provides a “normal” QWERTY on-screen keyboard, with keys being easy to press with thumbs (animated gif here). In addition to that, the guys behind TouchPal have made switching from uppercase/lowercase really easy and fast: you just have to press and hold the selected letter and swipe up/down to change the case… and this is BRILLIANT!
The same technique is used to input punctuation… Making it (one of) the only input methods available where you don’t have to make a key combination or press twice to input what you are looking for.
Another deal-maker is the speed of this thing: even on an HTC Touch, I was able to get a really decent input speed (read: fast). Fire-up the video below and see by yourself!
However, you have to love the QWERTY keyboard because it’s the only one this solution provides (same goes with the predictive thing, it’s english only). I guess this will be supported somehow in the later releases.
Still, it’s the best input method I’ve used so far on Windows Mobile, and I’ll advise anyone to give it a try!

Free Download till Dec 08th
Download TouchPal here, and its documentation here.
Interesting idea, but doesnt work.
1. Installed the cab.
2. Soft reset.
3. Click the arrow, get the list of SIPS.
4. Click the TouchPal thingy.
5. Nothing happens (device seems to hang for a second or two).
This is WM6 with the Kaiser.

Did you soft-reset your device? And it is possible that TouchPal is incompatible with some other non-default soft keyboards. My friend got TouchPal work after uninstalling a Chinese keyboard and reinstall TouchPal->Soft-Reset. He decided not to go back to other keyboard, even decide to give up hardware keyboard.
yeap. step 2 there. and i dont have any sips.

do you have password setup for your device? if not, it is worthy of trying setup a password for your device. someone fixed this issue by this approach.
Can't wait
Excellent concept! Tried in on my VGA device. Got an error message saying "can't initiate dictionary" but it launched regardless. Great way to input different characters, especially between upper and lower case characters. I also like the keys to input web addresses!
Great job. Can't wait for a VGA version!

I guess you download wrong cab. "can't initiate dictionary" was a mistake and has been fixed. One of my friend encoutered this issue on several hours ago's build. He downloaded it again, seems that issue has been resolved!
So, you can try to download it again. Soft-reset your device and then install the new cab right after reboot.
BTW, VGA version is available
Great SIP! The only thing I am missing is the swedish characters åäö. I will still use it becouse it works so well.
Does anyone know if it is using the built in dictionary?
OMG i Think this will be my default SIP
On my touch it works fine. But this sip is quite haevy. Does anyone know how to create other dict for it.
i've installed on my touch and jasjar, both are working fine. of course i used the differet installer for qvga and vga.
i've uninstalled pcm keyboard for now.
Custom Words.
Simply edit the engdisct_usr.txt and add the words you want. It can be found under the \Prorgam files\TouchPal\.
In case you use non-english words, It's advisable to select " precise Input Mode" under options.

Oh, great info. I tried and found the dictionary was only loaded after WM reboot. So, adding your words, soft-reset device and then select TouchPal will make your customized words appear.
I can't get it to work. Everytime I select the keyboard under the Input Method in between the softkeys I just get the regular WM6 keyboard. I'm trying this on my Mogul. Any ideas?
SIP Change
Use this SIP Changer. I get the same issue with this SIP.

Yes. I have a password set up on my device.
Has anyone been able to make it work on a Kaiser?
I have it working on my Kaiser
I have no password set on the device
I also have it working on my Kaiser and Ameo. For Ameo I neede to install SdCert... to get it working

I installed it to my Kaiser, without issues. Just a detail, the SIP keeps in the screen even when the windows that instantiated it lost the focus. But is working fine.

Hi there all, I have searched and read and then searched some more, even on other forums but (probably due to my technological stupidity) I have not found an answer... I need to use Chinese sometimes when emailing or smsing etc and I like to use the hard keyboard if its going to be a long one (amazing how quickly I got to like the qwerty keyboard)... now I have AEKmap so I can quickly change from the English one to a Chinese one (or so I thought) but I find that it does not have a Chinese keyboard listed in the options (just the default and a couple of Russian options). I have CEStar installed and also the d-ear Chinese sip as well as the 10 Key d-ear sip... but still cant find an option to enable the Chinese mapping for the hard keyboard. Am I missing something obvious (all to likely given my skill with tech stuff) or do I need to find a Chinese keyboard map? thanks for any help anyone can offer...
CE star is a solution but it s not free
and the logiciel bug my HTC wizard and Kaiser (hard reset)
Thanks but I already have CEStar but when I slide out the hard Kb it wont let me choose a Chinese layout and I can not type in pinyin... (wont let me choose a sip), would sip change help here?

install CESTAR or A4 pinyin input for Kaiser
then, open up your registry editor
go to HKLM->HARDWARE->DEVICEMAP->KEYBD
change curlang to 0x804
restart your kaiser
slide out your keyboard, the Sym/Tab button should allow u to switch to chinese input (if yours is a Eur/US device)
if yours is a Chinese APAC device, then you should see a chinese character at that button.
the button is on the left of the space bar
I have CEStar and it works perfectly for me. as long as you select the chinese mode, you will be able to eithe type in chinese with the keyboard (slide-out) or type with the stylus (regular)
Ruffruff... thanks for the advice, if I make this regedit will it be chinese layout all the time or can I select between default and Chinese in AEKmap?
Zcsx1985 yeah I sort of worked it out, I had to select the sip in portrait and then when I slid the keyboard out it worked fine...
Actually now that I have done that I can bring up the sip switch thing (little triangle next to the keyboard symbol on the screen) after sliding out the keyboard which I couldnt do before and now its all ok... well so far... cheers

Hi Shadow, how did you get the d-ear sips to work? Any special configurations necessary?
I have not managed to get them to work properly. when i type any messages, it appears right on my kaiser screen but when sent, my client will receive a whole page of question marks.
Did you overcome that issue?

I didnt do anything special, just install and then use... is your clients phone set up to receive Chinese characters cos thats the only reason for them not being able to receive them I can think of.. of course I am not too knowledgeable about such matters so it might be something else... if it is perhaps try uninstalling and then reinstalling... plus I am using a cooked ROM not stock...

I have an English ROM, how can I get Chinese MENU (switchable to English) and Chinese Pinyin input...? Thank in advance....
I'm using a WWE ROM and after I installed CE Star and the input method, it works great without any registry modifications
but one thing that bothers me is everytime I need to open the soft keyboard, press the "Chinese" symbol" once, then I can use the "input switch" button on the hardware keyboard to switch between typing English and Chinese ...
Tony as Kw31 says, CEStar is my main IME and it works fine, only conflicts with MS reader when its in Chinese mode (and also Pleco2 but thats another program)...
Hi,
For a few days, I cannot enter the Settings panel anymore. It just doesn't do anything, when I try to start it from the Settings TouchFlo screen or from the Settings shortcut in the Start Menu.
When I run ctlpnl.exe with the right parameters, the corresponding screen open, but I'd like of course to get the full Settings screen.
Any idea what I could do?
Thanks!
snark from Belgium
Could anyone export the registry key HKLM\ControlPanel and all its content? I'd like to compare with mine and see if something prevents the loading of Settings. Thanks a lot!
PMail me your email-address and I'll send it to you.
[edit] --> just send.
DeepThought kindly sent me an export of the ControlPanel part of his Registry so I could compare it to mine. Differences were minor and not relevant IMHO. Anyway I delete that part from my Registry and import his export but it didn't solve the issue.
Does anyone have another idea or have the same issue?
If you recently installed MS Voice Command, version less than 1.69..., that could be the problem. I had the same problem. Several hard resets confirmed MSVC was the problem.
MS Voice Command 1.6 German
Hello Guys ...
I read much about MS VC 1.6 cause Cyberon Voice Speed Dial
doesn´t work well in German - and would like to test it now.
Could someone please provide a download link?!
Thanks!

First let me say I have tried the registry edit fix and it did not work. I simply do not have have nor does it show owner information in the today, items tab. I have soft reset after each change and no icon nor any entry. I also dont have a "me" entry in my contacts. I have some third party software I have purchased and now they have defaulted to trial versions because I can't input any owner information. This is a real problem for me and I would greatly appreciate any and all knowledge in this problem. I have a sprint HTC touch pro 2 that was upraded from 6.1 to 6.5.
Owner information..
Took me a little time to find it.......Programs/Settings/Menu/All Settings/Personal/Owner Information .....
Use the one from Sense...under sense settings tab. If you insist!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4268138&postcount=3
Read the above post, and it has owner info. You need to remove the redirect key using one of the registry editors, and soft reset.

I have G-alarm, the best and highly customizable alarm program for wm6.x devices, and it requires owners info for activation after the trial period. Because I have a Sprint Touch Pro2 that I upgraded to wm6.5, the owner's info was missing in my phone too. So I contacted Ageye, the developer of G-alarm, and he gave me a website that he made to correct this problem in different ways. My favorite way is to do the following:
Use a registry editor (e.g. the free "PHM Registry Editor") and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Owner. You should find a key called "Hide". Please change its value from "1" to "0" and restart your device. Now you should be able to find the owner settings.
Ageye has other simple alternatives that you can read about by going to his link. Good luck with yours.

Ok look man. You might need to master reset if you have did this & that. Cause you could have did something you don't know. Your human right? Use Resco Explorer new one on website installs all tools. Go to Registry HKLM/ControlPanel/Owner, change Hide from 1 to 0, Reboot. Go to settings personal it's right their. later.........
