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'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...

thanks, however since i have MDA Vario II with all standard plugins present, i don't need that solution any more. but maybe someone else will find it useful.
ok I got a new m700 from carphonewarehouse a couple of days a go. It's been unlocked and ROM flashed with The offical HTC Rom. I wanted to try get connected to Orange TV subscription, but find out that apprently the url
http://orangeworld.co.uk doesn't take me to the page it should, there is a page on the original ROM that stores the orange world webpage which allows you to access premium services.
Anyone know how to get this back onto the device. Orange basically are not supporting this even though one of their customer service reps advised me to use the HTC ROM to enable the GPS.
At worst does anyone know where I can get the Original Orange ROM from? Could it be that I just need the orange Today theme back?
Thanks for any replies..
Thats strange, I have the M700 and my GPS was enabled with the Orange ROM.
Personally I'd say you've been screwed by customer support, as now you've flashed your ROM, they will no longer support the device, as it's not factory standard.
Nobody has the Orange ROM available, went through this about a month back, Orange havent released it and it's not a simple job of just dumping the ROM from an Orange SPV M700, sorry.
Thanks. Was only today when Orange informed me that the M700 does come Gps enabled. Everything else works fine but would have been nice to try the tv service out. Daft that orange will only let you order the service through the handset and on a gprs connection. Can anyone tell me what the orange extended cab files are for?

Plus how do you 'hard reset' this phone?
Not from their point of view, you're using GPRS, pay more to them.
The Orange GPS software is a prime example, not only do you have to pay for the software, but every time you plan a route, it connects to Orange via GPRS and downloads the route, double the cash!
Yeah guy in CPW said I'd get co-pilot free with it. But next day when I went to pick it up he said it only came free with a £50 a month data package. Just laughed at him... he seemed to think that co-pilot was gprs based for some reason.
So then does anyone know how to 'dump' the orange today theme from the m700?
You will need a copy of the Orange ExtROM, then perform a hard reset. You'll probably also need the Orange boot screens to make it look totally Orange-like.
BS...
My manuals at home. How do I perform the hard reset?
the orange extrom contains nothing useful really, just a few tweaks to adjust whats already on the rom. The WWE M700 hasnt been released by Orange so theres no way to get it back, or any of the orange programs, plugins or today screen.
The Orange Ext_Rom doesn't contain all the Orange customisations, unlike most previous Pocket PC's. Orange now seem to include some of their stuff in the main ROM, so these can't be easily replaced.
The Orange Today theme is possible to reload, but probably won't contain the OrangeTV or OrangeWorld stuff.
If you were told by CS to reflash the ROM with the HTC ROM, because the CS Rep was badly informed, or badly trained, there may be a record of this advice on your customer record- if so you'd have good grounds to ask for a replacement with a genuine Orange ROM.

Hi colmroche,
Click on the link below to take you to the HTC support site, from there you can download a full instruction manual and also a GPS instruction manual for the m700.

Right. Finally got a solution for this...pens ready..
Get hold of and install 'resco registry' software, then using the 'find' tool, goto
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Internet explorer\User Agent
Then put this line into the editable txt field.
ppc; 240x320; SPV M700; OpVer 5.1.465
And do the same for:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent\Post Platform
ppc; 240x320; SPV M700; OpVer 5.1.465
Note: I have the HTC Offical ROM on my M700 so the OpVer may be different depending on what ROM you have flashed on the phone.
Also you can browse to http://wap.orange.co.uk/transform on the handset, and if the ppc string shows up as above you shoudl be ready to go.
Hello,
I added the line to the registry but when I got to the Orangeworld site I still get a text version as if its an old style wap page?
Is there a specific address I should be using with IE, or is there something else I need to have edited?
Thanks for the info so far though
Hi,
I had this exact problem with the vodafone live website. Could someone with an Orange m700 handset visit http://www.useragentstring.com and paste the result from the "Your User Agent String" in the forum.
hollandg, could you do the same thing and post your result. This way we can compare the two strings.
If this isnt the problem, I suspect it may be either incorrect proxy settings, or you're not connecting to the site via the correct 3G data connection.
...also, just wondering, did you clear your browser history, cookies and cache?

And try the other registry edit I've added to post above.
Still nothing :-(
tried the 2 regedits, now it seems the internet connection full stop is not working ... but when it was I still couldnt get the 'proper' orangeworld website?
Anyone know if this is something to do with a file that lives in the M700 rom that needs extracting?

Ive done that. And progress of sorts. For Orange World the graphics are back but my number is still 'not recognised' so cannot access my home pages or Orange TV. Using www.useragenstring.com. Ive got ??? against SPV, M700, OpVer and 5.1.465. Perhpas there are some other registry settings needing further tweaks?
A friend of mine has an unflashed M700. Her network details for Orange Wap pointed at 192.168.10.2. (different from the ones given by Orange -192.168.71.35). This doesnt connect on my M700. Dont understand this.
Ive still not managed to find a solution to this issue. Could somebody with an uncooked Orange UK M700 please look up the following registry keys for me?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Internet explorer\User Agent
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent\Post Platform
Could anybody advise me as to how to find out the appropriate OpVer for my M700, now cooked with Muns wonderful WM6 ROM. Is this the same as the OS? -this shows as 5.2.1413.3 on mine. But this setting doesnt give a solution to my access problems to Orange World.
Greetings everyone
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...

This is indeed a different version than the posted above. The above one has just been released by HTC for to use with the Kaiser. I've tried to use it with Universal and it didn't work. Hopefully someone will come up with a hack for it to be used with other devices as well.
Connect to Company BB server?
Does anyone know if this will allow me to connect my Mogul to my company's BB server? Do I need any other services from Sprint other than an ulimited data plan?
Hi everyone,
Not sure if this has been asked before. Couldn't find anything relevant.
Found this link in the Kaiser forum
provides the cab for the World Card Reader. Works fine on the Kaiser but not on the Polaris. Anyone managed to use it or can upload a cab?
Thx in advance
Business Card Reader for Polaris? - NOT YET
"Worldcard Mobile is only working on the following models for the time being
Dopod:818Pro, 838Pro and CHT 9000
Asus525
Qtek:S200
HTC: TyTN, TyTN II
AT&T: 8285,Tilt"
I guess we'll have to wait.

Look for WCMobile10d That is what was released for the Athena. It works nicely on my TC. But you have to register it after the trial 30 day period.
No free lunch here
