Is it still possible to change the Carrier Alpha Tag??

I tried the registry method that used to work under WM5 but for some stupid reason it no longer works!!!!
Does anyone know of any other methods of doing this?

I tried the same thing yesterday, but couldn't get it to work either
Hopefully, there's someone that knows of a way that works in WM6.

Blackberry client on WM 6?

I was wondering if anyone has got the Blackberry client working on a Treo 750v running WM6?

The BB connect don't work with WM6 actually...
from Palm : Do not Install this update if you are using Blackberry Connect (BBC). Palm Windows Mobile 6 does not support the BBC service...

this is a BB connect CAB...made by HTC
it's basically made for AT&T tilt (8925) = Kaiser
I guess it'll work with any WM6 pro device...

Tried this and it won't work for me.
Has anyone actually got this working on a Treo750?

It gets an IP for about a second but then it drops it.

Same here w/ 750c. Gets an IP address for a few seconds and drops to no connection. BTW I am using BBC 4.0.0.90, you can find it on sems.org. I wonder if anyone w/ the Voda or the Aussie ROM would give a shot to this BBC version to see if it makes any difference.
Thanks,
HC

I guess it's the same problem as elsewhere, where you need to change the machine type in window.nb (I think). Only problem is I can't find an easy explanation of how to do this.

I was trying BBC 4.0.0.90 with Voda ROM and no luck.

Strange thing today on my 750c - Got PIN
Hi all,
It seems that something is changing w/ either RIM or ATT. I installed again today BBC 4.0.0.90 onto my 750c w/ WM6 ATT leaked ROM, after the normal reboot, surprisingly, BBC service connected to the network and I got a PIN. Clearly it said "Connected" on the status tab. Well, I connected the device to my laptop and ran the BBC Desktop, the system was provisioned properly (I think ...), Notes Backend, but now it fails to connect to Blackberry, same symptoms as before, even after multiple soft resets, see comments above. I'll play around some more w/ it and let you all know if I get anything to work. In the mean while, if anyone else has any success, please share ....
Good luck
HC

I have WM 6.1 installed using BB Connect 4.0.0.97 and its a no go. Oddly enough, I tried the same thing on an earlier Vodaphone WM5 ROM and it still didn't work...any suggestions?
Btw, I get the same issues as above, I have a PIN listed (and IP address for a short time if I Suspend and Resume) but then when I attempt to input the PIN into my online BIS account and switch devices is says the information can't be verified.

HTC s640 Windows Mobile 6.1 Release Date?

Hi folks,
Does anyone have information RE: the release date for WinMo 6.1 for the HTC s640? The Touch got its update a few weeks back, can we expect the same?
Telus is promising an update for RevA capability, I assume this will come with 6.1.

Im interested to know as well, been waiting.. and waiting... and waiting and getting very tired. When will we enjoy the upgrage?

Pretty stupid we haven't seen an update for the S640 yet! Telus doesn't even have any 6.1 Smartphone Standard devices... something that I find awefully wierd considering their promotion of WM devices and smartphone in general. This is seriously stupid. Even the old crusty S620 has the WM6.1 upgrade kicking around for it!

ya, new update came out.
and it's a wm6 update.
lol
nice telus.

I just installed the update on my phone. GPS still doesn't work for me; a Telus rep told me it would be included in this update.
No WM6.1 and no GPS. I am very disappointed by this.

quick update... I was able to get GPS working on my s640 using the instructions/apps found in this post: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36639
When using the GetSPC app on your phone, enter your HEX ESN in the top input box, push the left key twice until you don't see a cursor, then click the middle button. There is an "invisible" go button that the s640 doesn't display in this app... it should generate your SPC in the lower box.
I'm able to use both Gmaps and Live Maps w/ GPS now.
Enjoy!

I can verify Tatusmi success with his GPS, I updated my s640 via HTC's website, and followed along the instructions from the link he provided and the SPC program (after figuring it out it was case sensitive).
Good work Tatusmi, a feature that should have always been active now works.

I got the above to work )for a telus s640(. (although I lost everything on my phone because my activesync was messed).
But the HTC update to 3.0 worked great. The GPS enabled instructions worked flawlessly. I got google maps to find 10+ gps signals and was able to find my location.
but, I can't get TOMTOM to work. Won't find the internal GPS
NAV4all just sucks.
I am working on Garmin mobile XT to try it out - but I keep getting stuck with it triing to find a bluetooth unit. And it doesn't give the option to choose internal or com port or nothing.
any ideas?

nevermind, I got garmin to work.
Just couldn't get it to work automatically with some card id or something.
had to open garmin. go to settings -> about -> and the cardid is listed there.
once that is good, everything shows up properly.

I can write WM6.1 rom for s640. My ICQ - 731889 - write to me.

strik3r, I don't use ICQ anymore... can't you post here or use PMs?
Glad I could help you guys with the GPS!

I dont know about anyone else , But id be more excited to see Android on this device then 6.1 .... dont get me wrong winmo is a good plat. But Android would be killer ..
Ive been doing a little research .. and the Htc Vogue has a android version running and you can fallow the few steps to get it running with haret . well kinda .
Anyway just curious to know if anyone else has had any luck with linux on this device or anyone willing to help getting linux running on this device .

I've received confirmation from telus that they're not going to upgrade the Iris's rom. apparently there were compatibility issues, but i don't buy it.
I think someone should do this themselves, much akin to what seems to have been done in the other forums to other phones aka the 620. I'd do it but I really have no idea where to start.

I also received confirmation from Telus that this phone would never see WinMo 6.1, nor would any of their other existing WinMo Standard devices.
The line they gave you about compatibility is bull though, I called HTC about it and they said there is absolutely no reason why this phone can't run 6.1, it has more than the minimum required hardware.
I'd love to see a cooked version of 6.1 for the phone, but I also don't know where to start. I also don't use ICQ anymore so I can't seek out striker's help. Andrioid would be neat too, I don't have any experience with it... but anything is better than tired ole WinMo 6.

Well what a pissoff. 6.1s so nice. Makes me angry I didn't get a touch

IT WORKS on TELUS S640 with GOOGLE MAPS!!!
Thanks for all the information , I could not locate the driver that was listed in c:\windows\system32\drivers so I found drivers that work. Awsome, thanks everyone. Just a side note to take the phone out of diagnostic mode just ##3424 then hit "send" (same as to put into diag mode).

Confirmation on S640 GPS
i just want to confirm, so the s640 tweak for the gps, worked for telus s640.
i just need to confirm that once this is done, i would be able to use google maps to get my location using the internal gps of the phone or how ?
cause right now i am using a bluetooth gps to get navigation on my winmo. with out having to do anything to the Registrer or any other tweaks.
can you please confirm

I am wondering if you could help me in getting garmin to work on my S640, as i too am having problems with TOMTOM and GARMIN ?

do you have the REVA update for your phone?
and what have you done so far to get gps to work?

Where can I find a working WMODEM.EXE for the HTC Touch Pro(Raphael)

I'm on SPRINT'S HTC TOUCH PRO RAPHAEL
Ive been looking for the classic WMODEM.exe for a long time now.
I tried the Titan version, doesnt work
I tried a bunch of different versions from someone in the XDA Developer's Raphael Software Forum (above this one)
- didnt work.
I dont like ICS because its not that compatible with say, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, requires hacking to get working with Linux, and is basically microsoft proprietary bulls**t. I want the real deal PPP Wmodem. If nobody can provide a working one, and its deemed 'impossible' by the experts here, is there a way to hex edit or hack it so it works? Perhaps there is a registry key that prevents it from loading properly?
Please help me finally get WMODEM.EXE to load on the HTC Touch Pro! ICS sucks!!!

whats the problem you're experiencing when you're trying to load wmodem, exactly?

you double tap or excute the file right? and it does nothing.. you can sit there tapping over and over or pressing the enter button or anything and it just wont run
It's like compiling this into a C program:
main() {
exit(0);
}
--
on a hunch im going to try turning off touchflo3d, and executing the four different versions of wmodem i have, maybe one of them will load.. but i doubt it. I tried doing it this way with the Titan wmodem.exe and it still wouldn't load
ok i tried it, it does not work.
can anyone explain why WMODEM does not work for the TOUCH PRO?
has anyone gotten it to work?
maybe theres something embedded in wmodem.exe that causes it to exit() when executed in this operating environment?
can any developers or someone with debugging tools isolate what the cause is ? I have a feeling you could probably hex edit
or hack the wmodem.exe into working properly. Where would i post to request this?

it's actually running on my device, but when i tap the start connection button, the radio crashes, and the program says it could not open the com port.
i think it might be using obsolete api's or something, and that's why it doesn't load properly.
i tried to use it with a reg logger, to see if it searches for any special settings we could tweak, but i didn't spot anything special.
sry dude.

Where are the real hackers of the phone community? Just wondering? Should I try getting ahold of Lennysh on this issue? i hear hes pretty skilled.
the thing is, ICS drains the hell out of your battery. if you dont have over80% battery life on your touch pro, and you attempt to tether using ICS it will drain like crazy and your computer wont charge it.
as well as it not being a true ppp dialup connection, that too also sucks. meaning you have to use special hacks or tweaks for it to work under linux. thats bs

I will bring this back as I am also looking for a working WModem for the Raph.

afaik, wmodem provides support for gsm, you want dmrouter for cdma (which should come on all cdma roms)
the 5.08 AT&T test rom contains wmodem.exe.. as does the official AT&T ROM.. and it functions fine under both

[Q] Android doesn't work on HTC Touch HD

Hello there,
I have heard from a friend of mine that Android is much more better than WinMobile so I tried to install it. The installation finishes but on version 2.1 and 2.2 I can not use the touchscreen so I can not even enter my PIN code.
I have also tried 2.0 and somehow it works but it does not seem to get any WiFi connection and neither any other connection.
I have read in other threads that people use Android on the HTC Touch HD without any problems so what am I doing wrong? Any suggestions? I appreciate any kind of help
