i've had chance to play with v1605 in Vodafone UK shop and i've noticed that vodafone has ripped off default Windows Mobile Today plugins, such as calendar, todo list, owner information etc. personally i really think it's crap thing to do, but is there any way to get them back? some reghack or maybe installing them from some .cab? anyone who using vodafone's Hermes/TyTN found way to do it?
btw, the model which i played with, had S/N HT626 and in fact some keys on sliding keyboard needed more pressure to make them work. other interesing news - it was unlocked! my Virgin Mobile SIM card worked fine.
Try this...

hello all,
i have a t-mobile mda vario aka wizard with dutch wm5
But i don't have the transcriber or handwriting options,
They are writen in the manual.
Ain't they availeble at all, or as a seperate install..
thanks , arnold
also have it in manual but nothng in device..... strange...
Install this piece of software
MS transcriber
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...lts.aspx?st=b&na=88&View=en-us&qu=transcriber
And it works!
It doesn't work on my Vario (T-Mobile, NL version)
I am missing this functionality also. Well I tried your solution but although Transcriber installed on the device OK, it does not work for me. It appears in the input-selection dialog when using Word, but selecting it does nothing - just sticks with virtual keyboard input unfortunately.
Any other ideas, or comments on whether others have found the same?

Hi tried transcriber and getting same problem as you, activating it does nothing! Help!
Cheers

Both these apps don't have a dutch version, so thats why T-mobile NL decided to leave them out. There should be a patch coming.
But who cares about that stuff anyway. Did you notice there is a complete keyboard you can slide out?
I have experience with the older ppc models and believe me,
yuo realyl don't nead thad rekognitoin software ****
hmm...
hard reset my vario and transcribe seems to be built in and working now... can't remember seeing it before.....

I've got an XDA Mini, but installed using the corporate install - no O2 rubbish.
I used the registry hack to change the dialpad back to the original WM5 one, but now the smartdialler thing won't work. I've changed back to the O2 one and it works again.
Any suggestions to get smartdialler working with the WM5 dialpad?
Cheers.
The extended Rom contains additional configuration and registry settings as a CAB. I reset mine without the O2 stuff then ran Smartdialing_enable_0915_signed.CAB from the extended rom directory. Restart the device after that and you've got the smart dialler back (well thats how it worked for me anyway!).
Does not work. It is possible more in detail?
I think will not work!
I Have a T-Mobile MDA Vario, chnge registry too because don't like T-Mobile Dialer skin, and smartdialer not work anymore... same as bsterngillet.
Now I change ROM to Qtek and work dialer and smartdialer WM5 default... and is much light = speed!

When you say not working, do you mean the .CAB file is not there or that nothing happens when you run it?
If it isn't there I could post my copy to the internet but other than that I am only going on my experiences with UK ROM's I'm afraid! On another thread, user 'Plantagoo' has cleared up what the CAB files do more so it may be that your device does not have the smartdialler program (I'm just guessing here!).
Where to take Smart Dialing for Pocket PC ver. 2.2?
Hi guys.
I'm new here, but that won't matter.
I'm new to this entire phone area. I ordered a Cingular 8125, and is due on Monday. I've been using those "free with contract" phones for a while now, and I thought I would like a change in pace.
But the problem is, I know nothing at all about the Cingular 8125, so I have a few questions.
I have a Cingular SIM, as I am a customer of Cingular, but I'm buying the phone seperately, so do I have to get it unlocked?
What are some applications to use on it?
What is all of this talk about AKU2 i-mate, etc about?
And anything important you would like me to know...
Thanks guys, I appreciate it. ^_^
you dont need it unlocked if you use a cingular sim. They won't give it to you unlocked, but you can use a program called lokiwiz or awizard to do it if you want to. search the forums for downloads.
Aku2 is an update that adds push e-mail and stereo bluetooth support. imate is just the name of a company that rebrands these phones.
applications you need: omapclock, wm5newmenu, smartskey, RegistryWizard and Total commander
i also suggest a today screen shortcut launcher and a program that makes the X button actually close programs instead of minimize them. i use spb pocket plus for this, but there are free alternatives.
Opera has a great internet browser for ppc and an excellent java based mini version. I suggest both of those
Get TCPMP for movies and I like Mortplayer for mp3's
Thanks.
Where can I find these programs?
google.com, your local pirate for the rest
Thanks ^_^
Also, which ROM update should I use? I see a lot after I searched..
I just upgraded from Tmobile MDA to the latest ROM, and my problems have all but vanished. Radio now picks up Wifi much quicker etc:
K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020710_ship.zip
Thanks, does it matter which model you have? Cingular 8125, T-Mobile MDA, etc?
Pondering the leap myself...

Did you have problems with the settings or anything? Once you managed the install, how complicated was it? Did you edit the extended ROM? How much storage did you have after the install?
I am using SPB GPRS monitor http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/gprsmonitor/?en to monitor my data connection however it seems it does not monitor the connection at all. Is anybody else using it succesfully or can you recommend one that works with the herald?
Well it's on my CD with my Herald, maybe it's a special version?
You should try the version that was shipped with your device. Official GPRS Monitor didn't work with my Herald either.
how stupid of me, i didnt realise it was even on the cd! will give it a go now...
tried that, works perfectly. Thanks
SPB GPRS Monitor not working on P4350
Hi,I just saw this thread. Bought a P4350 (Vodafone) last Saturday but CD does not contain SPB GPRS Monitor. I have a license for the standard version which I bought a few years ago for an iPaq. It doesn't work, as mentioned above. Vodafone nor HTC can help me, although Vodafone's user manual states: "Install it from the CD"....
Does anyone know how to get this special version?..
Thanks!

SPB GPRS Monitor on HTC P4350
s4vva, I would very much appreciate that!
I hope the mod(s) will allow it. Here's why I'm convinced I'd be using it legally:
1. I contacted the Vodafone Citypoint (shop) where I bought the unit. They agree with me (it's in the manual etc.). They guess it's an unintentional omission and they don't have it.
2. I contacted data support at Vodafone NL (my mobtelco). They said that SPB GPRS Monitor should be on the CD but "somehow it isn't" and they don't have it so they can't send it.
3. As said before, I legally purchased a (version 2) license for an iPaq that I no longer use (3870 with GPRS sleeve) a few years ago. As mentioned elsewhere that version doesn't work on the P4350.
I guess uploading/posting would not be legal since not everyone (-member) would be entitled to use it, maybe you could send to my email (alias) rdf1<at>wxs.nl.
Thanks again for your willingness to help!

SPB GPRS Monitor has never really worked properly for me on my HTC P3300 so i use this instead - LINK
It turns out that HTC's special version of Spb GPRS Monitor won't work or even install on Dutch Vodafone P4350's. Probably explains why it's not included...
BTW None of the other GPRS monitor utilities I've tried (looked all over the Internet) works on my Dutch Vodafone P4350. Guess I'll have to wait for ROM upgrade
In the update below for the MDA vario 2 from wm5 to wm6, can someone confirm if it is the proper T-mobile rom and it has all the same settings as the wm5 one for things like Web and walk etc...as i dont want my phone to turn into a paper weight lol also can someone tell me if there is windows live messenger installed as well or is it hidden in the programs section and will have to make a shortcut to the today screen???
