Activesync Network sharing

Recently i started to use activesync to share internet connection over BT with my pc, it works fine, though i have two questions:
first one is the synchronisation wizard that pops up immediatly after my wizard connects. i've noticed that i need to close it for net link to be established. I'd like to disable it somehow, so that i don't need to get anywhere close to my PC to connect, it's quite annoying. I even tried to capture the AS window with my own software to close it, but was unable to recognize it properly. any chance to do it?
other thing is, when i use usb to sync with AS, i am able to acces lan resources with total commander. I was hoping i can do the same with BT connection, but so far i was unable to locate the proper solution for this idea... would be cool if i had it working, i used to do it over wifi, but i prefer using BT now, help anyone...
thanks in advance guys

Still nothing, i'm stuck with this problem, would be grateful for any solution

Life can be so cruel...
So just for your information guys, problem is solved. though im rather mad about it, as it happened an ugly way;]
so i;ve finally managed to create an application that captures proper Activesync windows and closes synchronisation wizard, so that my xda establishes connection without me even touching desktop pc. thats fine. i just couldn't remember where in registry to place my app so that it opens when i connect (i don't like the idea of my program just sitting in windows tray all the time), the idea is cool, it's almost finished, i go google. "activesync registry"
first result is this...

you can't imagine how angry i get... ;]
anyway, there's no need for my program to exist, i just change/add one registry value, thats it...
just why couldn't i find it for over a month, and i did right after i found another way to solve it??? life sucks ;]

Getting SMS Messages off Broken Phone

So yeah, I have an AT&T Tilt. The screen recently broke off from the phone but it still works, I can turn it on etc. Is there anyway to save my sms messages to my computer so I can put them on my new phone?
Thanks

use MY MOBILER to connect to your phone via your PC .. and you'll be able to control your phone by seeing your PPC screen on your PC
http://www.mtux.com/
Then you can use PIMBackup or something to save your info

I tried running this program, it says please weait. checking your mobile to see if mymobiler is running and exit now. It then says please wait. installing mymobiler on your mobile now. But it still says not connected...

Try hitting the left soft key to make it install ... bc whats happening is your phone is popping up the install screen where it asks "DEVICE or STORAGE" ... so hit the Left soft key which is "install" ... and hopefully that will install it.

You F'ing rock.
My Apache got stood on yesterday, and the screen is totally dead. You can't even tell if something has changes on the display it's so stuffed.
But My Mobiler is sweet. Allowed me to install/run PIMBackup, so now I've got everything back.
Good call on using the softkey to accept the install.

Turn off warning pop ups

Hi All,
Firstly, I love this site have gotten alot of great upgrades from all of you so thank you. Now to the question, I have the HTC Touch Cruise and have been temporarily kicked off the cell network for reasons of a large phone bill. However, trying to turn on my phone has become a massive hassle now. I have two options of turning on my phone now that I have been suspended pending payment:
#1 - I can turn on my phone and enter in my sim card password:
In which case I will constalty get a warning that creates a window each time that says
"WARNING - There is a problem connecting the GPRS service in your registerd home network."
I can not stop this warning it seems, i can click the x but another window with the same warning will open because my sim car is still trying to connect to the network. I will also get a remnet.exe warning as well, but becuase of the previous warning box, (that will not go away no matter how many times you close it) i can not read what the remnet.exe warning says.
It is most importantly to point out, that this constant error, and constantly trying to connect to the network does not allow me to press anything else, it is as if these errors override everything, it is so bad that I can not even turn my phone off, as the error message will pop up in front of the power off option menu.
#2 - or I can turn on my phone and bypass the sim card option.
In this case I also get a frustrating warning that will not disappear, in this case though the warning comes from the top bar on the main screen, and it goes like this:
"CANNOT CONNECT - Dialed - The answering modem has disconnected. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap settings."
This warning, just as in option 1, seems to override all other options i have in the phone. I cannot even get to the comm manager to at least put it in flight mode, which essentially turns off all connections. However when bypassing my sim car, the phone still tries to connect to the cell network.
--
So these are my two options that I know of. Unfortunately in both options its a losing battle. I was hoping to hear if anyone knows or have experienced this problem and has found a work around to disable these warnings and error messages, so that when you know you dont have the network you can still play with your phone, even use the tom tom gps which does not use the cell network. This I also can not do because of these warnings that pops up.
I would give you more details of the phone, but I cant access it so I am not for sure which specific one is. I have only modified htc today screen, so its still main OS is windows mobile 6 and the last that I had checked windows could not find any updates.

[Resolved] [Q] Retrieve contacts with a Bad Digitizer and Screen Lock Code on Touch Pro 2 SOLVED

I have an HTC Touch Pro 2 that now has a bad digitizer, and I am unable to use any touch-required functions. I only wish to retrieve the contacts from the phone in a way that I can get them on a new phone, even if it just means re-entering them into a new device. I just do not have any back up of the contacts, and need to be able to access the list on the phone.
I cannot "slide to unlock", so I am unable to navigate the phone or install anything on the phone. When I connect to my PC with an SD card it will connect in Mass Storage mode, and I can access the SD card only (not the phone system files). If I remove the SD card, and attempt to connect with ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Center I am prompted to enter my screen lock code on the phone - which I cannot do because the digitizer is broken. I do know the lock code, if there is any way to enter it without using the touch screen.
I have been searching around quite a bit, and I found a program called MyMobiler that looks like it would work, if I could get past the lock code. I have also downloaded the Windows Mobile Developer Power Toys, which also is unable to connect to the phone until I can enter the screen lock code.
Just to clarify, I have thoroughly read over this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852189#9434585
Is there ANY way that I can get access to the phone long enough to even just physically read and re-enter my contacts? Being able to import them would be nice, but I just don't have any backup whatsoever. Thanks for your help.
****UPDATE****
Solution: By pressing 911 on the keyboard, the phone assumed I was trying to make an emergency phone call and brought up the pin pad. I backspaced the 911, and typed in my unlock code. Now I am into the phone, and I can use the keyboard to navigate, and I can transfer the contacts to the computer. So glad I figured this out, and I didn't need to pay anyone to fix it for me. Good luck to anyone with the same problem.

Lost 3g/4g connection

Guys I am really struggling with this phone. I have wasted 2 entire workdays now trying to get it how I like it. Yesterday I rooted with motofail2go and ran into an issue with usb only recognizing as charge only. Turns out I had to enable debug mode, turn off the phone, turn it back on, and then disable debug mode. Fixed the problem at 130 PM today.
At 145 PM today after doing this fix and running an ap called reverse tether my mobile data has disabled itself and I cannot get it to turn back on. Wifi is fine. Like I said I ran into some problems with debug mode switching settings around even when outside of debug mode and I cant for the life of me figure out how to reset my data connection.
Key fact: Even though the phone shows no data, when it boots up gmail always pops up with hundreds of new messages that I havent had the time to check nor did I choose to open the gmail ap. Its like gmail can still access the internet but it is disabled for me or any other function. For all I know it could simply be chached messages showing up automatically without checking for or recieving new messages.
I have done a soft reset and cycled airplane mode a few times. I have cycled thru the available network options and still nothing.
I am really having a hard time enjoying this phone as much as I would like to becaue of these weird issues. This is my first Motorola and I must say I am not impressed. And then it is sad coming to the XDA photon Q forum and there is no organization, no stickys, no useful threads hilighted, its like no one even cares about this phone. I have no clue what I am even doing when rooting, unlocking, bla bla whatever but at least the other forums are well organized and thoughtfully moderated. I dont even t think the mods here have the Photon...
Rant off... TIA

I seemed to have all kinds of random issues and problems when I first got this phone rooting and applying the first few mods, but...knock on wood they all worked themselves out and it's been solid.
A few weeks ago during that time I too experienced the loss of data issue. I was on wifi all day while at work tweaking & playing with the phone, then when I left work,...bam,..no wifi. Reboot, nothing. Airplane on/off, nothing. Tried updating the PRL, weird thing is I could watch it turn the 3G on to "phone home" to Sprint, then it would say the PRL was current and the data would be back off. WTF? Haha..
Surprisingly, what ended up working for me was the SprintZone app.
I opened the Sprint Zone app.
Scoll to the bottom and in the lower right there's a "Help" tile.
Scroll to the bottom of that next page and at the very bottom it says Update Profile.
After hitting that, I had my data back and haven't had the problem since that one time.

I wanted, so badly, for this to fix the issue. I just knew it would... but it didnt. I updated my PRL and Profile by wifi along with the Sprint Zone update you mentioned but still nothing, only wifi.
Can Sprint do any sort of reset?
Is there any way that Moto or Sprint have an auto off switch installed in the phone or the programming that is triggered by something like tethering without a tethering plan? Or rooting without using the Moto unlock key via motofail2go?
On a more general note can someone please tell me how to transfer files from my internal storage to the SD card? My internal memory is literally all used up by 2 games and my usual apps... i keep getting the low volume space warning popping up. Pretty ridiculous for a brand new top shelf phone.

I don't think it will make a difference, but make sure you are NOT on wifi when you try the SprintZone update.
I wasn't connected to wifi when it worked for me. Probably separate causes behind our similar issue, so what worked for me may not for you, but worth a shot.

I found out what it is:
Why did my mobile internet stop after using this app?
It has been reported very rarely that mobile internet stops working after using the app. This is due to the Appear as 3G feature.
If the 3G option is causing you problems, you can turn it off in the settings menu.
If this rare problem happens, to restore your device's internet, go to Mobile Network settings > Acess Point Names (APN) and choose Reset To Default from menu, or manually add your carriers APN.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Can anyone tell me how to reset my APN on the photon Q?

To transfer files from your internal sd card to the external sd card you can use a file manager like Astro or es file manager. I use es file manager personally, it has all the features of root explorer in a free app with easy to use interface. The internal storage is marked as the /sdcard directory and the external sd card is marked as /mnt/external1
In es file manager just enable the root options in settings and navigate up one level from the /sdcard directory to find the /mnt directory.
The built in file manager will do it too, but the options are limited and interface is clumsy.
