Few Questions.

i know im a noob but i have a few important questions i need to know.
1st. Can you use wifi without the data plan? I bought a unlocked qtek to use on cingular and i was wondering if using the wifi on my home router was free. I really dont want to see a surprise data charge on my bill lol.
2nd. If i bought my qtek unlocked, does that mean it comes already pre registered with the wifi G or do i have to install the cab i found on xda forums to make it G. Thanks again!

Hi ipodlover77 - welcome to the forum. Using wifi as you describe is free. With some of the newer roms it is already set to G, but if you have the same rom as me (see my signature) it will not and then install the cab you found - if you use the one i made it will affect the wifi settings only

oh, then can you please give me the url of the wifi settings you made? will the settings work on a unlocked qtek, used for cingular? thanks. and also, is it possible to stream youtube videos form the site on ur qtek? and finally, (sorry, i always have a lot of questions ) how would i know if im using cingulars data charge on wifi or my own? when i scan for networks on wifi, will it says like "pay"? thanks again for all the help.

My cab is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=254420&page=15&highlight=wlan
Yes the settings will work on an unlocked qtek used for cingular. You should be able to stream youtube videos via your wifi router although only those that suit your screen size will prob work properly.
You should never have to pay to cingular for using your wifi on your home router - to test this you can switch your phone to flight mode (phone radio off) and wifi will still work. The only time you would have to pay for wifi is when you connect to a pay wifi hotspot and then you would have to subscribe to the service first.

so what is the difference between the wlan g tweak and the wireless plugin tweak? and also after downloading the right one, do i just move it to the memory card via usb and open the .cab over the phone? thanks

wlan g tweak - sets wlan to g mode and wireless plugin is a today screen plugin showing operator, bluetooth and wifi status. Yes that is correct way to install

No problem, this forum helps noobs period!
With the registry wizard this can do the g tweak for you, so you wont need my cab if you are going to install registry wizard.
Sorry dont know mms setting for cingular as i am uk - do a search it will be on the forum. What is book up? - do you mean look up? = google.
Ah ha quessed it now - backup! I use Spb backup and find it very good - http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/backup/?en
Others use Sprite backup - also very good i believe - http://www.spritesoftware.com/sprite-backup

Try this then - (from coolsmartphone.com) TinyTube.net continues to get better and better. They've now made it even easier to find, send and watch your fave YouTube videos on your mobile. Take, for example, this YouTube video. Notice the URL - it's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCLYGoM1GrU. Now, if you'd like to watch that on your mobile all you need to do is type http://tinytube.net/watch/RCLYGoM1GrU into the address bar. Just copy the "RCLYGoM1GrU" bit and stick it on the end of http://tinytube.net/watch/ - this can then be used or forwarded to any mobile user via text or email as the address to get the video.
TinyTube fill a very important "gap" that other sites such as Google video have already plugged - being able to convert the Flash-based videos into 3GP format for viewing on mobile devices. TinyTube.net have now added an "SMS this video to a friend" feature for the USA with plans to roll out elsewhere soon.
Boot up software = how do you mean? for what purpose?

2nd) what is the fastest rom? Im using the updated qtek firmware and it is VERY slow. And i was wondering if there is a rom, that does everything the qtek rom does but alot faster.
3rd) how do i take that fricken vibration when i send a text message? I hate feelings the vibration for only sending a message.

Hey you have set up your own thread for Q's lol. First change your name to Wizardlover77 and we are in business!
If you just turn your wifi on via comm manager it will automatically search for you. Others use wififofum http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1020
Plenty of roms out there - which rom are you using? i.e. the numbers
There is molskis rom that gives you 30mb free ram and farias new 3.2aku rom just to mention a couple. Browse the wizard upgrading for a week or so before deciding to upgrade and you will need to decide if you have a g3 or g4 chip - ipl numbers - .001 = g4
Change your notification settings for messages in settings\sound and notifications not to have vibration.

Sprite is the only app that can restore after a ROM upgrade

ok. So when i turn off my phone, it says some data will lose? which exactly will the device lose?
and also if i turn off my phone. does meschles Wifi G tweak, erase? it says its still installed but are the settings messed up or is it perfectly fine still?
ok I thought of another problem. like I said before I don't have any data plan on my package so I'm surfing wifi over my own home router. ok so I found this really cool site that actually streams the videos to my phones WM. is this costing me data I don't have? the videos streaming url was like mms something. just want to make sure its not costing me money. and lastly do they charge me for downloading stuff from the internet straight to my phone while using my router connection? thanks in advance!! happy thanksgiving everyone!

didn't feel like starting a new thread, as this one is titled appropriately for my question.
I just got a 8525 a few days ago in my switch to Cingular. I got the 5mb Media 1000 package, however I am getting unlimited for first month.
My question is.. . I installed Weatherpanel on my phone and wondering if data that is being received to update this program is coming from with-in my 5mb, or I am going to get a bill for other data usage?

aim w/ gprs ONLY?

i was just wondering if there is a program that lets you connect to aim and just using gprs i have unlimited sms and txt but dont have wireless any help would be great i was even looking for a cab file of the tmobile oz program but couldn't find it thanx in advance

Here you go.

thanx man but for some reason i cant seem to connect.. i have a tilt on t-mobile network it shouldnt be a problem right?
it always says communication error. please try again or check your settings

I don't know, I've always hated the OZ messenger... so I've never used it. Maybe later on tonite, if I remember when I get home, I'll install it and mess around and see what happens on my end. Maybe it's something in some registry setting. Keep in mind, that TMO bought the licensing to include that in their stock Roms ... so there may be some registry setting or something in there that will only let it work on a Tmo Rom... hopefully we can figure out what it is and fix it.

Has anyone else installed the OZ messenger on Touch-IT or Open Touch and had it work properly?
Since Open Touch is based on the tmobile rom, maybe it works on somebody's phone who's using Open Touch.... anyone care to help us test?

I will update when newer comes out
ps: This has only been tried and tested on Touch-IT Rhodium 6.5-23053
so please let me know if you are having any issue with this app on any other ROM
EDIT:for now this is only for US T-mobile customers

Hey UK brothers.. Right now im at work(im using me TP2 to post) so im not close to my computer but, I want to see if i can fix this. If you guys could be kind... and find me a link to a

@humble
I've don't think there's a T-Mobile UK ROM at the moment - you can only buy the TP2 on T-Mobile through a 3rd-party company right now as T-Mobile don't sell it over here yet.
Many thanks for looking into it, I'd really appreciate a UK version.

I installed your my account cab and it reads "Unable to retrieve account info".
I uninstalled, soft reset and reinstalled it to try again but it does not work
I can't think of anything why it would not work.
Thinking........
Does the My Account program use the SIM card to call T-Mobile? Maybe something is missing from my SIM.....like a number??? My SIM card has the #646# (Check my minutes) and (check text usage)... Does the My Account use that?
Thanks for your time and help! I just wished it would work.

No problem,
One way to find out.. If its your SIM or not... Flash to another ROM and see if MyAccount works.. Use any one, mine or his there basically the same(i extracted mines from the dump of my phone).... Just my taxi was a little faster

*SOLVED* Edit Media Net settings in connections on HTC Pure *SOLVED*

I just bought an HTC Pure for my wife. I'm pretty savvy with windows mobile. I have a tilt for my personal phone and I have a touch pro 2 from sprint as my work phone. I work for sprint and troubleshoot Windows mobile phones. My wife doesn't need or want internet on her HTC Pure.
One thing I am not to good with is registry tweaks. When i went to Start|Settings|Connections I noticed that media net is not configurable. As to my tilt, I can edit these settings. I want to be able to Media Net so I can permanently disable internet on her HTC Pure.
I know that AT&T required internet on all newly purchased smart devices. I did not buy this device from AT&T and did not sing a contract stating that I would add a data plan. There are ways to weasel out of paying for data.
Is there a cab file I can install to gain functionality to ed the Media Net settings? If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance

I just purchased an htc pure. I've been looking into something like this. Please let me know if this is the answer. The link you posted says this worked untill the incorporation of NETCF 3.5. I have no clue what this means. I am with at&t and am not under contract. Thanks brndnddge
Edit: I installed this version and also tried the file at ModaCo which seems to be updated . Im in file explorer and the only file i can open is the setup.xml. I thought i had to run a cab file? When I click setup.xml it appears to stall with a white screen and does nothing?
