Annoyances with PIE on T-Mobile MDA Pro... - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Ok, PIE is getting on my nipples now.
Whenever I open PIE it pops up a dialog telling me that "You are about to go online." - YES I KNOW!!! This happens EVERY single time. I'm using Pocket Plus and the Open in New Window feature still causes PIE to tell me I'm going on-line! Aarrrgh!
Second thing... I've set my default start page to about:blank BUT T-Mobile have managed to p1$$ me off by forcing it to go to http://www.t-zones.co.uk/pda/en/index.html.
I've had a look through the registry to see if I can find anything that glares out that it's "an annoying option that needs turning off" but can't find anything.
Does anyone else with any flavour of the Universal have the first problem, and the second problem is obviously aimes at current T-Mobile customers.
Cheers

Hi,
if you just want to change the default page do this here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\PIEPlug\home
If you want to get rid of the default t-mobile page AND the online warning then delete the whole PIEPlug Key.
Cheers

You, sir, are a genius...

I second that!
Soooooo much better

Hmmm
My "You are about to go online" box appears to have resurfaced - however, the suggested reg entry still remains deleted.
I wonder why its doing it?

It's a bit strange. When I reset my german MDA Pro before the extended rom is installed the IE default site is www.yahoo.com.. :shock:
Who made this setting? MS, T-Mobile or HTC? :wink:

Tmobile settings: where can I find them

So, you hard reset your device, you do the softreset to avoid all the branding rubbish and .... your phone won't work because you don't know the password to the internet connection settings and so on.
Question is: where can I find the t-mobile settings, web and walk included?
TIA!
There is a website I found recently called Google.com . It's some kind of search engine. If you enter "t-mobile uk gprs" and hit search it comes up with loads of links. not sure if the first one helps. Try it out.

Ah-ha. You must feel like a big man now.
Plus, you're wrong, they are not that easy to find. Looking at the first links on the search string you gave, they all list the username for the t-mob connection as being 'user', whereas mine is 't-mobile'.
here it is - but they dont work on some (ch) roms,works fine on my rom with web n walk
For USA T-Mobile users, here it is:
Just in case you want to add them in manually TMobile and all the UK service providers details can be found in this post over at the 4WinMobile.com website.
please help

How do I install from this cab file?
Not sure if it'll work on your device, but give this a go:
V
Vijay, maybe you want to rename the file to GPRSsettings ?
Hi guys, thanks very much for all the replies!
Signed_UNI_TMO_Connection_112100.CAB did the trick. I didn't seem to need the other file (MMS settings). The only other file I had to fish out of the extended rom is the long_dtmf one. If you don't put that on and try to dial a number, the phone hangs on keypresses :lol:
I'll let you know if I see any other required cab I might have missed. So far the phone is behaving slightly faster - not as big of a difference as I've seen on the O2 branded ones (which hurt from all the crap 02 leaves on them).
Cheers!
Would also like to add, without all the tmobile stuff from the extended rom, my battery life has doubled. Brilliant!

if U want to not install branding rubbish, after calibrating touch screen, ppc starts installig. U've got some 3seconds to softreset(small black hole below usb connector) press it and trick is done. Other way use ext_rom unlocker (www.buzzdev.net) remove or move (move is better, there are gprs,mms and other settings in .cab files, U'll figure it out which of them U need) all **** from ext_rom and hard reset

"Problem processing your request"

I am using the undated, unrestricted version of windows live, when i am logged in into live messenger I am not able to change my display name. On my desktop pc it shows my correct name, but on my Herald just my e-mail adress?? When I try to change my name I get an error: There was a problem precessing your request. Never had this prob before! can anyone help? thanks in advance!
Same problem with my T-Mobile Wing (HTC Herald)
First, I want to say I been having this "issue/problem" since I was using My T-Mobile MDA (HTC Wizard) WM5, that's right.. I have try other ROMs (other versions of the software) before I upgraded to this new device I'm using now. I been using Windows Live Messenger mobile services since the beta days... What i do remember is this "problem" started to happen to me around March 31/April 1 of this year. I remember downloading the new NON-BETA and installing on my MDA. From then, the service hasn't worked properly. I also get this: "Some information is either missing or incorrect. Please try again." and when that one comes up "my display picture" still doesn't show to others but "my personal message" and "my display name" on the messenger shows up to them. I have try a few things already that I have read on this site but nothing as work yet for me.
I've uninstalled the Aserg optimisation, reinstalled the WML and it worked again I don't know what the optimize stuff does (except the smaller scrollbar and some handy apps) but it really was the issue...
Problem processing your request
Hi I had the same problem.
After a long search I noticed that when you go too your msn on your pc and you will go too the options from msn and you click that you dont want to see youre picture to anyone, is the problem over. It s works by me. I can change know my display again.

The only options I know of, are my "msn/windows live profile options" and yes in the past I have try a few things. The only thing I have notice is that if I have a "Display Picture" located on my "Messenger appearance" part of that page of my "Profile" when I try to "Sync" on my PPC it will always give me an error. This one to be exact "Synhronization failed." *Everything (e-mails, contacts) syncs except my messenger display picture, my personal message and my display name. I don't believe my "Messenger appearance permissions" or my "General appearance permissions" from my msn/windows live profile should be the reason why this happens to me.
**Some times I wonder, if my "service provider" has anything to do with this feature on my "Windows Live" being crippled. *fcukers!

[email protected] Today Plugin

You mean "should be" a lot of people, including me have had problems where it doens't show up anywhere.
I've had three of these so far, and none have it installed. It installs Cabs with "opera" in them on the hard reset, but nothing shows....
Does anyone know what this T-Mobile @ Home should be?
Can no-one provide a screen shot of what this "T-Mobile @ Home" thing should look like??? :-(

I dont think it should "look" like anything, I think it modifies behaviour of the device in an un-specified way. You dont actualy "see" a today item.
I had an Ameo, It had opera. I did a hard reset, Opera was gone!!!
I replaced the Ameo (for another fault) and that one has opera, a hard reset and opera is still there.
Very strange.
I was one of those who had missing Opera during one of the hard reset. However, I think it is not missing, but merely not installed properly. You recall that whenever a CAB run there is a prompt to confirm that we would authorise the installation of a software? I believe that I might have absent mindedly provided the wrong response without realising it, and the device merely obeyed my instruction to leave it out from the installation.
I can't see opera in my programs screen either.
However it opens when I press the web'n'walk button.

Network Time App

Hi, tried searching this forum but haven't found what I am looking for. Basically I am searching for an application that enables automatic network time update. Could someone point me in the right direction. I have an AT&T/Cingular 8525 that has been flashed to the Black Satin ROM. Thanks in advance!
install pimp my black .02 and turn on time zone tab in the phone settings. Click "bling" and wait for the reboot. Go into phone settings and time zone tab and check "update time automaticly"
Thanks for the quick reply. But is there just a cab file I could just install rather than re-flashing?
i think hes talking about from a specific time server
there is a program called syncrotime i think. it used to be on the faria roms. i have no idea where to get it though. google it.
edit: found it....
http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Business/Clock/SynchroTime-9077.shtml
Thanks, all, for your quick and insightful responses. I am coming from the Treo 750 to the AT&T/Cingular 8525. Is there a more elegant solution? Basically, on the Treo 750, once you're in the "Clock" settings under the Settings menu, there was a box to check that allowed the Treo to stay in sync with the AT&T network time setting. Looking for something similar and simple for the 8525.

ohhhhhhhhhhh.. sync with at&t's time server...
theres a reg tweak for that
Enabling network time synchronization
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting
change HiddenTimeSync Page to 0
theres another one though. ill have to find it.
THANKS!!!! Love you!
I always seem to press my cheek up against the phone and weird things happen to the clock/time when I don't use my bluetooth headset. This definitely saves me from thinking I am either earlier or later than I am when the time abruptly changes from my cheek!

Blackberry Connect on Topaz working

Hello Together,
here's solution on how to get Blackberry Connect running on Topaz:
Instructions:
------------
- Make sure you have uninstalled blackberry connect before doing the following.
- Attached you will find a small zipped executable (EnableBBCTopaz.exe). Unzip it and copy it over to the \windows\ folder of your device.
- Open a registry editor and navigate to HKLM\init
Create a new string with the name "Launch130" and a value of "EnableBBCTopaz.exe" (without the quotes of course)
If Launch130 already exists, choose a number higher than, it doesn't really matter, just make sure it is higher than the other entries so it get started after everything else.
This makes sure the exe ist started after every softreset.
- Make a softreset, or execute the EnableBBCTopaz.exe manually.
- The program changes your model-id from "HTC-Topaz" to "HTC-Raphael" in memory
- Install Blackberry Connect like you usually do (My tests where successfull with version 4.0.0.104, 4.0.0.106 didn't work for me -- just hung up after a restart)
- After installation and the auto-reset through BBC open the BBC settings and go to the Info-Tab. Under device-name there should now be HTC-Raphael.

The solution is in fact the one from Rhodium forum, the respect goes to them, in particular to c0rnholio. The instructions are also copied from their thread. I just changed the program to fit to Topaz.
hi gnick.
Thanks a lot for providing a solution for this issue, but I cannot get it working...
The Client keeps stating: "PIN Pending". When I try to register the account the data tunnel gets established for a second but then it gets disconnected again.
The SIM is working fine in a Blackberry.
I already tried to reinstall the BB Client several times, but I always got the same results.
The device-ID is set to HTC-Raphael, so that shouldn't cause any issues.
Additionally I tried to kill the bbmain.exe and suspended the log and security services and reenabled them after a few seconds, but still no success.
If you have any further hints on what to try, pls. let me know...
Thanks in advance,
TheOmen666
Which blackberry client version do you have?

Hi again,
I tried with versions .106 and .104.

Hmm, hard to tell, really.
Which provider do you have? Your provider needs to support HTC Raphael.
Mine (Vodafone Germany) does support HTC Raphael (Touch Pro).

Thanks for the tip, but I too cannot get it to work. It did work in my HTC Diamond (that's Diamond "1", not "2"). I wonder - can you change the programme to suit the Diamond 1 instead please? I mean Diamond 1 instead of HTC Raphael. I wonder if this will make a difference.
By the way, does anyone know if RIM will bring out any software to make this all work?
Hi mitsi, did it work at the end?

Hi Gnick, partly. I got it to work with stopping the Blackberry Service and then activating the programme (your one) after a soft reset. However, after every soft reset, I will need to do the same process.
Open MemMaid
Stop Blackberry Service
Open File Explorer
Start your programme
Open File Explorer
Start BlackberryMain.exe
Close File Explorer
Enjoy emails.
This is too much like hard work, so I think I will be either selling my Diamond 2 and going back to my Diamond 1 or keeping both, using the Diamond 1 and waiting for a better fix to become available by subscribing to this thread (and others) and hoping that decent clever chaps like yourself will come up with a fix!!!
By the way, one other item that needs fixing is that I am only able to have my work email on this. I do not have the Blackberry Secure Internet (the one to send service packs and add other email accounts). So I can't get my home email..
There is one other alternative by the way:
This is to write a Mortscript programme that does this tedious process automatically.... I have made enquiries to someone I know....
@gnick
Thats a good point, asking for the Provider...
Well I checked the websites of T-Mobile Germany and the last device I found, where you could officially download the bbconnect client was the "Kaiser" (Mda Vario III, HTC TyTN II, AT&T Tilt ).
This means, that I either have to get rid of my Topaz or convince you to make a special version where the model-id is set to the one of the Kaiser (I only found "KAIS120") but I am absolutely unsure wether this is the korrekt model id used for the bbconnect client.

Hi All,
I finally got it working.
As I am running WM 6.5 on my device, I had to change the AKU String in the Registry HKLM\System\Versions to ".1.6.3".
After changing this, I got a PIN and could do the Enterprise Activation with my account.
Thanks a lot to all for the effort to get this working on the Topaz.
Cheers,
TheOmen666
Hi All,
I too got it working. I followed the tips on this thread and on the one by cOrnholio with the following notes:
AKU set to .1.6.1
BBC version 104 worked (106 didn't) just as you said gnick .
Blackberry still crashes Manila sometimes when deleting the last email and exiting tmail.
I cannot activate my other email accounts as the Blackberry Browser (I think this is BES) does not load, even after the prompt "The internet connection is currently in use by the BlackBerry browser. Would you like to temporarily disable BlackBerry browsing? Yes/No". Once disabled and refreshed, it still does not connect. I think I read this on cOrnholio's thread.
Sent mail from pc does not redirect mail to the sent mail folder on the D2 but into the inbox instead.
The soft reset problem still exists, but it does at least work. My D2 has now had emails for the last 3 days.... Fortunately the D2 is more stable than the D1 so soft resets are required less often.
My thanks go to gnick and cOrnholio for this. I can now use my D2!
By the way, I have made some simple shortcuts which make the process following a soft reset simpler:
Add shortcut to BBMain.exe to the start menu
Add shortcut to MemMaid to the start menu
Set MemMaid to re-open at same page in Advanced Settings
A couple more tips for new people at this:
Be patient. Sometimes you can try the same solution more than twice and get different results
Be patient. The IP Address and PIN don't always appear immediately.....
Regards
Hi All,
Me too.
I got it working. I followed the same tips on this thread and on the one by cOrnholio with the following notes:

Hello mitsi, setting the "Launch130" key in the registry to EnableBBCTopaz.exe as described in the instruction in the first posting should ensure that EnableBBCTopaz.exe starts automatically befire BBC. This is the "clever" way to autostart it without doing any manual work. If it doesnt autostart, that could mean that you have a spelling error in the regkey name, regkey value, or that you havent placed the file in the \windows folder.

Hi gnick,
I must admit, I haven't checked this, but I have had problems before with Blackberry. Because our IT Dept in their wisdom have set the security to lock the phone after 60 minutes of inactivity, I keep having to unlock it. I have a Mortscript programme which does this for me thanks to EdSub, but it would appear that Blackberry takes a higher pecking order after a soft reset so the Mortscript isn't activated before Blackberry, no matter how I try to configure it. Therefore, I suspect Blackberry will start before your programme too, so it would then think the phone is a D2 instead of a Rafael immediately after soft reset.....
If your Blackberry has the Security Policy set by your IT Department, you too may have this issue, but otherwise, it may be possible to start your programme before Blackberry starts.
Isn't it all rather silly??? The things we do to get our phones to our liking eh???

It shouldn't take longer than a few minutes. You may be able to help it on it's way by going into Blackberry settings, then in the Utility tab, press "Register Now". Then if you go to the Identy tab your PIN and IP address should appear hopefully.
nothing appens when i press "activate now "....
same probleme with a touch hd ...Bes account has been reset ...but pin and ip still pending
i'll wait ...

News from HTC
Hi All,
For your information, I sent the following question to HTC:
"Dear Sirs, I have an HTC Touch Diamond 2. I have requested information before on how to get Blackberry Connect working on this phone but had the response "we don't support third party applications". This is fair enough, but please see this link: http://www.htc.com/sea/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=497&news_id=61. If you support this on other HTC phones, then why not the Diamond 2? Do you have plans to develop this further? I would appreciate your help/comments on this please."
I received this response from HTC:
"New Response From [ Mike (EU team) ]
Hi Paul,
The link you found is for Asian devices, not European ones.
Blackberry Connect is not supported by HTC Europe and there are no plans to release the 3rd party application or test its compatibility.
Please contact Research In MOtion to see if there is compatible version for your device.
Best Regards
Mike"
Hopefully they will change their minds in the future. Has anyone tried RIM?
mine worked 2 days later
had to wait only because my orange data network was pending ...
now it works perfectly
