Hi there,
There is one icon in the Comm Manager program on my device that does not seem to work and I have no idea what it does. It is the third one from the top on the left hand side.
Tapping it does not do anything. :?

Thank you!
The screenshot of the Comm Manager program in my JAMin manual does not show this icon (nor a few of the others), and as I rarely use GPRS I'd never noticed this icon active.
The mystery is solved!
activesync button
Does the activesync button work the same way? - only for disconnecting? Because I can't start activesync from the comm manager.
You are correct, only if Active Sync is connected this button becomes active.
activesync button
Actually, I don't understand how MS thinks... The comm manager should allow us to activate activesync directly.
Personally, I will not go to comm manager to disconnect my activesync as I can do that directly from the actual activesync screen itself. But to start activesync, it'll involve more than a few screen taps depending on how your device is set up. A 1 tap button from comm manager would be very nice...
I totally agree with you. For me, the ideal Comm Manager application would also allow me to set-up a GPRS connection, not only break it off. It would also allow me to turn on and off the infrared and make BT discoverable and non-discoverable with the app. I am glad that MS included more functions in the new Comm manager as compared to the old one without the GPRS, Push Email and Phone radio buttons, but it is still only half of what I want it to do. Hopefully in future releases they will change this. For now I use VJVolubilis, a nice app from Vijay555 that does everything the Comm Manager should be able to do, except for Push Email. VjVolubilis is now my central app for all connection-related issues.
Koksie: I may one day make a GUI for VJVolubilis, although as I've said before, it's actually just a spinoff from VJSihaya.
It should be noted that CommManager is HTC (I think), not MS, since I've got the Mio A701 and that doesn't have anything like CommManager
Of course, VJVolubilis still works on it...
I've not tried PushEmail... if someone tells me the necessary registry settings, I'll build them in. I'll have to see if I can get set up some time... let me find a free push email service.
V
Hi V,
Don't get me wrong, my post was by no means meant to comment on the lack of GUI of VjVolubilis. I am very happy with the app, I put the shortcuts in SPB Plus and in WM5NewMenu and have easy access to all connections now. I don't really need a GUI at all, the set-up I now have is very convenient for me. Of course adding the icons I liked was more difficult, ha ha. A GUI might be nice for other users, but for me it works perfectly like this.
Good point about HTC and MS, I wondered about that.
You can get a free push email account at mail2web.com. I have enabled it and tried it, works perfectly, but I don't have unlimited data yet and don't use it (hotmail is still my most used email. I know, old fashioned, but since everyone I know mails me on it I keep it. Unfortunately no email forwarding, MS has disabled that years ago to my dismay).
edit: If you want a Comm Manager on your A701, use the attached file. it worked well on my Wizard before I upgraded. It is only the old version (4 buttons), I have not been able to find the new one with more possibilities.
Koksie: no problem, I wasn't taking it as an offence about lack of GUI! Merely commenting on future plans.
Offtopic, and as I'm a moderator, feel free to spank me, but:
I've set up a mail2web account, and it works nicely.
However, I may be missing something, since I'm not sure if my Mio has push mail yet and I've never configured it before, but how do I configure push mail with mail2web?
I can see the option to sync when new mail arrives, but that requires a "text messaging address". Does mail2web provide one of those?
V
Hi V,
the text message address is the old push email method I think, in which the provider ( in this case mail2web) sends you the email in sms messages. Your text message address would be your phone number. The MS way of Push email on the new devices is done over GPRS and works like RIM's Blackberry, in which email is pushed by the Exchange Server to your device into your inbox. Push Email is only implemented in the new AKU2.0 ROMs. I don't know if your MIO has such a ROM and if ROM versions for the MIO are available with this feature. On my Wizard, enabling Pusk Email is done through the Comm Manager. I just have to fill in the Mail2web data in the Exchange Server settings in Active Sync and after enabling the push email service in the Comm Manager the service is activated. Hope this info helps you.
greetz, koksie
Koksie - very helpful, thanks! It's as I thought, I don't think the Mio has a push mail rom yet... I'll look into it further.. thanks again.

Need Help - Using Push Mail
Hi Koksie & Vj,
I'm very interested on the push email thing.
Could you help me to set up the push email step by step?
I've gone to mail2web.com but still cannot find a details way to set up the push email.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I'm rather excited to announce the very early stage alpha release of my push-email client which has been an ongoing fun project of mine ever since I dumped my Blackberry for an i-mate Jam (actually I went via a Treo with Chatter which was almost as good as the Blackberry).
What I have implemented is a IMAP transport which supports the IDLE extension. Therefore if you mail server provides IMAP access (many do) you can probably have push-email on your Pocket PC without running exchange and without any intermediaries. And obviously as this is IMAP, all new email and changes are synchronized both directions on your desktop and your PDA. This is only a 'transport' and so you will still use Outlook (or any other MAPI client) as your user-interface.
Now a few comments:
The code is in a pretty early stage, but I have personally been running it for a while now without any problems. I know of a few bugs, and will put up a bug-tracker sometime over the next couple of days; in the meantime, please post here for help and bug reports.
I have tested the IMAP implementation against a few different servers, but there might be some issues. Please post here if you have problems and I'll provide you with a debug version which will allow you to help me diagnose the problem.
A few of the main limitations of the current release: 1) only incoming email (sending is now my top priority for the next release); 2) only one mailbox (and it must be your INBOX) can be synchronized; 3) no attachments at the moment.
Battery life of your PDA will obviously be limited, as a socket connection is kept open. However, I have personally found there to be very little difference under normal usage.
Clearly you need to have a 'data plan' from your provider, and under normal usage the IMAP client will be transmitting data on a regular basis. So if you pay per MB, this is going to cost you. I have been careful to keep this to an absolute minimum, but it will obviously depend on how much email you receive. In 'idle' mode (i.e. with no incoming or outgoing email), the traffic will be less 0.5kB per hour.
There is no particular reason why this shouldn't run on other Pocket PCs. However as I have only tested it on my i-mate Jam, I'll have to leave that up to the patient and brave for the moment (if you do try and have problems, please post or email me, as I'm hoping to provide support for as many phones as possible including Smartphones).
I will eventually support WM5. Why bother as there is already push-email provided with WM5? Because this way you don't have to have an Exchange email server!
So enough from me. If you're still willing to give this ago, I'd very much appreciate your feedback. I've put the downloads and some brief installation instructions here:
http://www.vgsmail.com/ppc/
Hope this works for you!
Geoff.
Hi, the 512bytes an hour sounds good, but some providers 'round up' the data, im not sure what rules they follow, and by how much or how often. But you may find that it ends up being 100k an hour because of this rounding.
Does anybody know how to find out the rounding rules for networks in the UK such as Orange and O2 ?
FWIW, T-mobile UK don't round and simply compute the 'total' over a full month.
I'm verry glad I live in The Netherlands. T-mobile NL has a flat rate plan for GPRS/WIFI/UMTS only €9,50 without limitations, even no fair use. As much data as you want. The only limitation is the max. bandwith for UMTS (64KB). Doesn't matter since the MDA has no UMTS.
Greetz,
Giovanni
Hi geoffreycross,
This could be what I'm waiting for. But i cannot get it to work properly. First installed it to storage following your steps and got an error that it couldn't get a socket. After soft-reset I got the error that it couldn't open MAPI interface. Reinstalled it to main, recreated the mailaccount in different orders nothing changed. Errorlog is greyed out, so please send some debug code.
I'm on flatfee TMO, so the data costs or no problem.
Looking forward to your answer,
M
oltp:
I have PM-ed you with a debug version. I forget my email address on the original post. If you have bugs, you will get the fastest turnaround if you email them to [email protected]
The transport can definitely not be installed onto a storage card and I would recommend trying. I'm not sure about the client executable, but I doubt it (and it's pretty small anyway!). I am surprised it worked at all. However the problem does not sound like it is related to the storage card. I'll give a full diagnosis when I see the debug trace.
Geoff.
Well played
only just installed this program, seems to work with Leeds Uni imap accounts. excellent solution to a much overlooked inconvenience.
Who needs BlackBerry with this little gem.
Cheers
Geoff, this looks great! Thanks for your efforts! Question I have is how this solution differs from the existing functionality in the built-in mail client to connect and get mail every x minutes? My understanding is that this is still a pull solution driven by the pocketpc keeping an open socket and querrying the IMAP server on a regular intervals. Am I missing the obvious here? Regards & Thanks
Edited to remove duplicate post. Have no clue how I did that. Apologies.

There is an extension to IMAP called IMAP IDLE which I am using. In this mode, you keep the socket open but you don't need to actually do any polling as the server pushes messages down the socket as soon as they arrive. So when a message arrives you will generally receive it within seconds, and when no message arrives there is no data being sent in either direction (with the exception of a keep-alive message very 30 minutes or so). This is exactly how Blackberry and push-email with WM5 works (although they use their own proprietary protocols which require you to use their servers).
DocteurN:
I have just tried out WebIS2, and it seems that they don't use the standard 'MAPI' interface for email (this is slightly surprising and disappointing as the API is designed to be available to 3rd parties). Therefore my transport won't work currently with WebIS. I'm going to have a look and see if I can reverse engineer their storage format and if I can I will be able to support WebIS. In the meantime, I'm afraid you will have to use the built-in Pocket Outlook.
Geoff.
FOSA:
Unfortunately gmail and Yahoo both provide POP but no IMAP which means that you're back to polling on a regular schedule (and that is not 'push-email' really). There are a number of groups trying to pressure Google and Yahoo to implement IMAP support (apparently it is the most requested feature of gmail).
In the meantime, have you considered using a mail provider like www.fastmail.fm which would pull email from the various servers and provide IMAP access to them all?
Geoff.
Isn't this how Seven (Smartner) works?

Yes and no.
Seven does use IMAP, but the connection is made via an intermediary server owned by Seven and your PPC will then connect to the Seven server using a unspecified protocol. Therefore you need to give them your userid and password. The code I have written connects directly to your own mail server and cuts out the 'middle man'. To be honest, I have no idea why Seven implemented it this way (other than to allow them to charge a yearly subscription).
Suggestion
Using the software, so far seems excellent but I've noticed two things so far:
- The setting to only pull messages within X days doesn't seem to work, it's downloading all the messages
- When you connect to the server after losing GPRS connection for a while, when it reconnects it displays new email message despite them not being new. Would you be able to limit the new email message to unread emails only?
Cheers for this excellent application, your effort is much appreciated
herman3101:
1) Yes, there are a number of settings which are currently ignored. The size limit of the initial download is also ignored. I have these on the bug-fixes list. The date limit on the downloads is slightly more complicated as the synchronizing is now constantly happening and so it might appear a bit strange if your messages suddenly disappear as their age 'expires'. I will think about that one.
2) Yes, the 'new email' notifications are a bit screwy. I will fix that asap.
hi geofreeygross
hi. this push email idea is excellent. despite your warning about wm2005. i still install on it and it doesnt work. my inbox when create a new account. i can see your mail option but after finish creating. the account doesnt appear and gprs cannot connect anymore after that. hard reset again. i really hope u will release a beta version for me to test. thank you.
hi. you said that wm2005 already support push email but need the exchange server. how to do that? i need to suscribe to who? is it free? thanks
I'm getting a Hermes, mainly for the push mail function. Although the problem is that I don't have access to an Exchange server, so I was wondering what services other people use and how they rate them. As I've mentionned in another post, I have a GMail account, and I'd like to try and keep that, although if need be I would be willing to setup another e-mail account.
Many thanks,
Dave
I use www.4smartphone.net and find it amazing. You have to pay a small fee to sign up but it is well worth it.
Mark
Am I right in thinking that I can't use that with my GMail account?
You can forward your gmail account to your exchange account. Gmail has an option to save mail on their server and forward at the same time. I do that.
I use Exchange hosting from http://www.1and1.com they'r reliable and cheapest. $20 for 3 months.
~Karanbir
1and1 has a cheap exchange server if you have a domain. (so like 5 a year for the domain plus whatever their exchange server cost).
It worked but I started to hate that I couldn't put in my "real" e-mail adress. (not sure if all servers are like this, but on theirs all your outgoing mail says exactly what your e-mail is, and I like to use a different reply to mail adress.)
So I stopped using it.
Here is an odd little aside though. The Flexmail beta version works as true push (even though you still can't select the push icon in the comm manager).
But the beta only worked on my everyone.net imap4 account and not on my 1and1 imap4...
mail2web
You can always use www.mail2web.com. And it's free. You get 1 gig e-mail address, push-mail, outlook web acces, and so on. Is supports ActiveSync over GPRS/3G. I think the only drawback is the connection speed, maybe country specific. I live in Romania, and it takes a little while to get synched, even on 3G connection. Anyway, push mail works really great.
Cheers
I too use mail2web. You can send "From:" the mail address of your choice (providing it's yours) as an extra service for a mere 60c per month or so. Otherwise it's free and works great.
Their free service doesn't allow you to set the "From" address to anything other than [email protected], 60c per month gets you anything you like.
Push email
I highly recommend http://www.cortado.com. Their service is fast, reliable and costs only about 6$ a month w/ a two month trial period for free. I have been using this service for about six months and have been very pleased with the service. Their Webmail menus have icons with labels in german, which aren't difficult to figure out. This isn't a problem for me as I hardly ever find myself needing to access my account via webmail.
Alternative solution
Well, I use my HERMES without the Push-Mail feature: As long as you use GPRS you can check your eMails every 5 Minutes without loosing considerably on battery life. I do that with my gMail account (POP3, SSL-encrypted) - works perfectly. Nice feature: gMail will automaticly archive all mails you collected via POP3.
No fees, no forwarding etc. and 5 minutes of "lag" should be ok for most of us.
To switch between 3G/UMTS and GPRS when needed and preserve battery you can use "BandSwitch" - you will find the free application on this site in the Hermes forums. Its beatifully designed.
I've been using mail2web also for quite a while now and I'm very happy with it. Best of all: it's free ;-)
if you don't mind leaving your desktop computer on all the time, then www.emoze.com is a viable option.
It runs an app on your desktop that "pushes" all the mail you receive in your Outlook inbox out to your device...
Yup - web2mail here too. It's free and I generally get my gmail mail pushed to my handset before it gets to my PC. No real complaints.
Also from this site there is http://www.port88.org/ which also free.
The main draw back that I have found from web2mail is that I can not overwrite the reply address to a non-'web2mail' address unfortunately.
Does anybody have any thoughts on how Push versus POP affects battery life?

Mail2web definatly worth a go. I use the push mail feature but also use it as a backup for my contacts, calender and tasks.
REALLY worth it if you tend to flash new ROMs or HArd Reset quite often.

I haven't done any testing but when I was just using pop email and checking every 15min then my battery life would maybe go down 10% during my 11hr shift..
Now with push email active I usually go home with around 50% battery life left..Seems to take around 40% more for me. If I used my phone alot it seems that it would be a problem for me..

Anybody have this problem?
Ciao, did you check that under Start/Settings/Connections/USBtoPC the "Enable advanced network functionality" is disabled. I take it that in your ActiveSync connection settings on the desktop pc USB is preset.

1. I plug in my device via usb
2. Device center recognize my HD (connected)
3. I set up it for sync
4. A window pops up on HD asking me for username and password related to mail account (incoming mail). I ignore it
5. Sync starts, but it hangs on. It keeps on syncronizing, but no green bar for process advance. And it never ends...
6. Unplug and replug in it.
7. Device center recognize my HD (connected)
8. A window pops up on HD asking me for username and password related to mail account (incoming mail). I ignore it
9. Sync starts (with advance green bar)...and it is very very slow!...I'm still waiting it to end...
10. Now it is over...but with this error message: Impossible to connect with current connection setting. To verify connection setting go to Start, Settings, connection
In order to disable, your HD needs to be disconnected from Activesync and USB cable, and soft reset. But I suspect the problem is that you dont allow Activesync to access Outlook, since your 4. and 8. "A window pops..." is a request from ActiveSync to allow it to access Outlook, therefore requesting pass. It is a security measure so that not any given program can access your Outlook.

Well, it asks me to verify incoming mail password and username, but I still haven't set any mail any PW or UN, but the accounts that TIM brand did on my phone, but they are not configurated yet (and I don't want to). Since I never had window like that to pop up on trying sync, I suppose it could depend on brand setting...

I have an ActiveSync problem with my new HD.
The sychronization is slow, and when it ends (in about 10 minutes), the immediate 2nd sychronization begins, and it stucks there. The sync never ends. Data is synchronized, but there is no end of synchronization.
I tried to uncheck the "faster data synchronization", but the sync is slower and also stucks.
I had this problem from the first synchronization.
Any idea please??
I also have an ActivSync problem :
- The first sync at home with Vista/Outlook 2007 took age, however OK
- Then at work with XP/Outlook 2003, the pairing went OK, and then the Contacts sync OK too
- Then, with the Calendar, a very strange thing happen : Outlook 2003 ad 248 news empty appointments on today into the phone... and then stop syncing appointments
- Then everything went OK with the Notes, Tasks and Files
- Then it goes back to the Calendar, and never stop syncing without adding any appointment from the phone to the PC... until I stop it manually !
Actually, I retried a lot of times, always with the same bas result...
Does anyone have a clue about my problem ?
Many thanks in advance !

Hi Rolud,
active sync creates appointments by creating them in todays date then changing them to the actual appointment.
when I had this it turned out that it hated one appointment (dodgy text) and kept on trying to recreate it
I had to find the rogue appointment and fix the text

- Then, with the Calendar, a very strange thing happen : Outlook 2003 ad 248 news empty appointments on today into the phone... and then stop syncing appointments
- Then everything went OK with the Notes, Tasks and Files
- Then it goes back to the Calendar, and never stop syncing without adding any appointment from the phone to the PC... until I stop it manually !
Actually, I retried a lot of times, always with the same bas result...
Does anyone have a clue about my problem ?
Many thanks in advance !

Well, finally I solved the sync problem. I had to delate Microsoft Exchange Server option in my HD profile on Mobile Device Center.
Hi,
I'm running Donut Unofficial v1.2.0 + Google Patch (unofficial) on an N21 / DSTL1.
I have a real problem that none of my Google calendars are showing up on the calendar program. When I go to 'my calendars' an click on add, there's nothing in the list for me to add to 'default' which appears to be the non-synced local calendar. I have 4 calendars that I need to sync. I tried making a new one to see if that made any difference - it didn't.
I've tried clearing the calendar data and rebooting as per several forum suggestions. I'm at a blank otherwise - is there some setting in gcal that I'm missing - it's like none of the calendars are being synced with the phone. The sync tick is ticked in the 'data sync' settings screen...
Help!
Thanks in advance
Tom.
Try going to menu-settings-data syncronization-Google and see if it still has your account log in. You may need to fill out the account information again.
Note that you can still be recieving your google e-mail etc and not have it registered to sync for your calander.
Hi,
I don't seem to have an option to re-sign in to the account...
See attached under the data synchronisation settings.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Tom.
How on earth do you have dual sim?
Untick auto sync, manually sync calenders then turn auto sync back on see if that works.
This phone has dual-sims neat huh.
That's what prompted me to move to Android - Sadly, your manual sync idea didn't work - see the pics:

Any other thoughts?
Thanks again,
Tom.
Do you have any calendars on the account you are using? Double Check, by going to calendar.google.com.
You have default there which is a sign that your calenders should be/are syncing properly =/.
There is one weird thing though... have a look at my calenders:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The "Default" Calender is labelled with my googlemail address and it has always been like that, on yours it's simply labelled "default" which seems pretty weird. Maybe someone else can come along and shed some light.
Does everything else sync ok? EG Contacts, Email etc.
Also, mind doing a mini review of your device? where you got it from and how much it was etc? I've always wanted a dual sim device but they all look pretty crappy tbh.
Yeah it's really wierd... everything else syncs and calendars are definitely there...
So you're right, this default calendar is syncing properly. I actually quite liked this device - it's got dual-radios which means that you can take / place calls from two sims - you can also select which sim will provide the internet connection; handy as I live between Germany and the UK, so I hoped to have a decent (cheap) internet connectivity in both places at last.
Sadly this lack of calendar sync is a dealbreaker
I was about to pack this phone back into its box, and flashed WM 6.5 onto the i780 that I'd been using till now, but then I found that the Google sync for windows mobile only syncs one calendar!
There's a review here: http://www.mobileburn.com/youtube_video2.jsp?Id=7753
It's a chinese phone so it's not the world's best quality, but does work (mostly), runs android and does have two phones!
Surely it can't be a problem with the device though.
Like I said, double check and see if you have more than one calendar? Poke around on the settings on the actual google calendar web app ie calender.google.com. You may have just somehow turned all your calenders private or something.
Same problem!
Any good new guys?
I've got the same problem on my dstl1.
All GCalendars aren't public but access from my account is permitted (obviously!). The only difference between my default calendar and others is that non-default's ones are shared with other people.
Thx in advance!
Have a nice WE

Hi all,
This is for those of us with HD2 devices from Telstra (Australia).
By default the top 3 Quicklinks on the main screen are locked with Telstra shortcuts - Bigpond, Foxtel and Sensis.
After installing this cab and performing a soft reset, you will be able to remove these shortcuts from the menu just like any other link on the homepage.
Enjoy
Bless you!!
Happy Australia Day...you have made mine complete!!

You need to create a new data connection with different settings for Telstra to get exchange sync working. Since we can't modify the existing connection, you need to create a new one and set it as the default.
Follow the instructions below:
http://fxtechtips.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-to-setting-windows-mobile-to-access.html
this is a guide to set up a new Telstra internet connection on WM6.1 but the same procedure applies for the HD2. Quickest way to get to the connections page is Comm Manager > Menu > Connections.
One change to the instructions though. Ignore the proxy setting in step 10. Leave it empty, but still tick the 'This network connects to the Internet' checkbox.
After doing this, try and do a send/recieve with the new connection.
EDIT: Just realised you seem to be in Norway so you may need to set up a new data connection with your carrier settings instead. Either way, set up this connection without a proxy server and it should work.

Thank-you for this... You guys are great... Wish I knew more about this stuff... Thanks again.
Thanks that has saved me having to dig around in the registry, or for a new ROM, at least for now.
If you are still having trouble with Exchange, make sure your Active Sync is set to "Dedicated' and not "Internet". Took me hours to work out why I could check my mail using wifi and not next G!!!
syncing with myphone and setting default/deleting email accounts
i also have a problem with syncing my contacts, tasks and calendar with microsoft myphone.
i can sync other items such as photos and SMS but not the above.
telstra have locked it for some reason.
does anyone know how to unlock this?
also, i want to delete outlook as an email account. when i create new calender items and add attendees it sends them with outlook which i dont use and they sit in the outbox. i have set up another email account which i want to use.
i couldnt see how to delete outlook or set the other as the default.
Thanks for the fix!
What right has telstra got to lock this sort of stuff down!!
Working! ActiveSync with Exchange on Telstra!
Hi All,
I have had a few issues trying to setup a Activesync Connection with and Exchange server (NO Workstation) with a new Telstra locked HTC HD2.
Telstra have locked the device so you have to purchase another "Email Data Plan" to sync with an Exchange Server.
I added all my settings to activesync, And could not connect.
In ActiveSync, click options, select exchange and click settings,your server settings should be here mail.blah.com.au , click next, your username and password are here, click next, BUT DONT CLICK FINISH.
Click options and advanced, Select Internet and not dedicated from the connection list. A telstra warning will display, click yes.
You should now be able to SYNC via the Internet with full Direct push email.

I have installed it on the card but can't see how I use it to get rid of anything.
(Must say that after years of Windows 2003SE this thing is driving me mad. I mainly want to use it for programs (like my old PDA)but the HTC instructions are useless.)

It removes the lock that was placed on these 3 links.
On the home screen, Select 'Menu' -> 'Remove Quick Links'
Select the ones you want to remove and select 'Done'
Sorry for the dumb newbie question, but the cab file to remove the quicklinks is actually a winzip file that contains an XML file and .001 file.
Have I missed something here? I am familiar with how to move a cab file onto my phone and install, but when i copy this file over the phone still thinks it is a zip file...
Thanks,
Roy.
<< Ignore me, have now loaded and removed those links, thanks for the cab file, much appreciated, now I have some quick links that are actually useful >>
Thanks a lot !!!
Many thanks to people who help me to remove Telstra rubbish.
Is it possible to to remove all Telstra apps from programs?
None of these solutions for active sync are working for me, the setting still keeps going back to 'DEDICATED'... looks like it's ROM time....
hi
this cab file stuffed up my hole rom, is there a virus in it ?
