Modding my Cingular 8125 q and a

Well, i have scoured the site, and tried and tried and tried to no avail, I just cannot seem to figure out this puzzle!
Actually it is a multi-layered puzzle...
I, of course have a Cingular 8125. Thus far I have unlocked the sim lock, unlocked the CID lock, enabled wireless G mode, and installed some programs.
These are the programs that I am using.
I have Resco File Manager (full)
Resco Registry (full)
TCMPMP
HTC Streaming Media
Opera (full)
What I am interested in doing is this. I would like to be able to view streaming video (imagine that). So far I cannot. HTC streaming media installed well enough, but when I click on the icon it says that some of the components are missing, or it's not signed by a trusted certificate...
When ever I go to You Tube (Regular), it says that I either have Java turned off, or do not have the latest Flash Player...
Oh I forgot to mention I also have Adobe Flash 7 mobile installed...
When I go to m.youtube.com, and I click on a vid a progress bar shows up and progresses, but nothing else.
I really don't want to mess around with installing roms, as i would rather know how to do it on my own. I am no stranger to reg hacks, seem edits, and basic hex as I already hang out mostly on moto modding sites.
If i do need to install a rom, that is fine I suppose as long as I have the ability to back up my current one (always backup before you f-up).
I also have a question or two about WM6. But will leave it at what I already have inquired.
Thanks in advance for all the help! I am confident that I will get good answers as the expertise on this forum seems to be quite high!

Im right there with you buddy... I did all the things you did and still no luck... This phone seems to be hopeless.... Not working like all the others with the installed software... Hope somone can help...

well, i'll tell ya, I figured it out all by my lonesome...
What was needed is a drivers pack, and I will be more then happy to give you the link that will take you to it...
What you need to do is located right here at this link
http://www.mediafire.com/?5pjefxzvzj0
Basically what you need to do with it, is unzip and then copy/cut and paste the .dll files into the windows folder of your pocket pc.
if it asks you if you want to replace files then just skip over that file and go to the next.
Now the only site that I have found that seems to be usefull is of course, m.youtube.com
If you happen to find anything else that works please let me know as youtube seems to be the only site that out fit themselves to stream media to PPC or iPhone.
...Oh and by the way this only works if you are using ie mobile. for some reason it doesn't work with opera. I don't know why.
But it does look good however. All things considered, it looks pretty good.
Let me know how you made out!

Thanks for the help... IT loads now but every time i connect it says "failed to connect to network"... Do you get that?

yes i did, and i will be more then happy to help you out just as soon as I can turn my stupid phone on...
See, I just got a car charger with another phone (one of those stupid ebay "included free" car chargers). And I just got a new car where I could actually have a use for it. So I plugged in my wizard/cingular 8125 into it the other day assuming that I would charge it all nice like as long as I left it in the car...
Nay, the charger apparently does not work and now I have to leave the wiz on my usb charge till God only knows when (If you have never let one of these drain to absolute DEAD, don't it takes forever to get it back again...)
So... yes I did get that message, and yes I did figure out how to get it to work, but no i don't remember how I did it...
So I will get back to ya soon!

i think you have to have Windows Mobile 6 to stream media... i dont think the streaming media player works with windows mobile 5. I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure.
I stream youtube and all kinds of stuff on my old 8125... MobiTV, XMRadio etc.

okay here's the deal...
No phone can stream regular internet (even the iphone in all it's glory can't do it). The reason being has something to do with the type of stream that is being streamed...
Hence why youtube.com created m.youtube.com...
It has to be mobile, and someone told me the format not too long ago, but I forget what it is.
You can stream it on Windows mobile 5 using HTC streaming Media player. No mods, no hacks, no ROMS. Straight up, out of the box.
But again, the key is finding a site that is set up to stream it on a mobile phone... Which in another reason most sites offer podcasts. It's a cheap alternative...
Never the less it's only a matter of time before cnn.com foxnews.com etc all follow suite and say hey our users want/need streaming mobile media, and there you go...
I myself have played with streaming radio (somafm.com) using pocket player. It works great. Audio is so much easier to do then video which is why you can do it on any format.
My issue now is that my battery is dead dead, and I don't think it is going to accept the charge... Which means either my phone is fried, or my battery is fried. If its the phone, well there goes that... If it's the battery, maybe I can wrangle a battery out of Cingular or who ever they are calling themselves these days...
So it may be a while before I am able to tell you how I got past the failed to connect to network error.
All i can say is play around with you internet settings, and try fussing with the media player settings (Ergo Buffer etc). Make sure that it is able to access all ports, and that if you are using WiFi that the ports are open.
hopefully i will have a charge tomorrow.

I've had this problem.. try the actual connected to the wall charger.. not a cheap knockoff- but one that has a usb-usb connector that goes into the wall.. i'm not positive what it looks like. but my father has one and it's helped my 8125 more than once
good luck,
damon

Thanks for the reply on the wall charger.
I actually googled it last nite, and came across someone else who did the same stupid thing as me... Apparently, for some cosmic reason, when the wizard is dead it will only accept a recharge from the stock, in the box charger...
Don't ask me why, I thought USB started with the word Universal...
So new wisdom for the day, when your Phone is totally dead, it will only charge on the stock charger that came in the box. Now why it wouldn't accept a charge on my USB cable is beyond me. Everything else I own has no problem with it...
So thanks again for confirming my findings... Good stuff to know!
Anyways back to the streaming problem at hand. Now that my phone is powered up, and ready to rock I will tell you the settings that I have...
Under start\settings\connections\ network cards. Have it saying that it connects me to the internet.
Don't know if that helps, but thats what I have and I remember that I did that my self.
Next under programs\streaming media\options I have connection via internet. I do remember changing that to get it to work. I just changed that particular setting, and can confirm that by changing to something other then what my phone is connecting to will say failed to connect. So make sure that it is the same as the previous step.
Next still under Streaming Media\options I have my UDP ports running across the gamut. Ergo, From 1024 To 65535. I do not know if it is necessary, but I would leave it open like that depending on where you are some places may have some ports closed off, and others might not.
Then under Media Buffer, I had my originally set to 10 seconds, but now have it set to 5 seconds.
I also did the registry edit that enables wireless g mode. There is a slight noticable difference in speed.
Now here's the kicker... After you get all that done, and everything works and so on, and your phone is now comparable to the iPhone (which my can now do everything the iPhone can do, cept for making phone calls cause I just use my wizard as a dedicated Pocket PC, but it can do one thing the iPhone can't do, and that is have a visualizer going when I am listening to MP3's), your now going to find that the video's that they have on m.youtube.com right now, at this very moment...
really kinda suck...
For some reason, youtube/google=gootube, decided to convert only the absolute worst videos they have. No music video's, no news videos, nothing. Just a bunch of what appears to be video blogs, and not much else...
Sure there is a trailer or two. But it will be a while before it becomes the youtube that we are all familiar with. You can't even find the numa numa guy on it yet...
I mean i know that gary isn't the end all of viral vid's, but he is, at the moment, still the most popular...
That or Star Wars kid...
Now my question is, does anyone know of any sites where this new found feature can be put to good use? Foxnews.com for some reason thinks that only people who are subscribed to cingulars 3g data package can watch their video's. Cnn.com can only d/l podcasts, which takes forever and is usually not worth the time because by the time you are done, you've already finished your cappuccino at the cafe' and are already out the door.
So again, does anyone know any good sites???
...oh and one more thing, streaming with the HTC Streaming Media only works via internet explorer. Sorry, Opera, even the full version, doesn't work...

CID Unlocking the 8125
Dear PPL
I have a used 8125 and am not sure if it is CID locked or unlocked. I am using it in India. I can insert any sim card so it seems to be SIM unlocked.
Before CID unlocking it, how do I tell if it is already unlocked or not.
Appreciate your replies.
Also which is the cleanest, no non-sense WM6 ROM for the Wizard, I need a good camera patch, and everything working. Including GPS functionality.
Thanks

this is the title... title...
as far as sim locking goes the only thing that I could do was plug in another card from another provider. That's how I figured out that I unlocked my properly. The sim lock is from network to network, not phone to phone. So say you have a friend that is on A-Cellular and you are on A Cellular, you guys can swap sim cards all day long and the phones will work.
However if you are on A-Cellular and your friend is on B-Cellular, what should happen is that you guys cannot swap phones, unless your phones are unlocked. So that is the easiest way to tell. (A Cellular/B Cellular mean nothing I was just using that as an example BTW).
Now, as far as CID locking, I really haven't the foggiest idea. I don't know how much this forum is kept up to date, and I have not found any stickies or tutorials that really explain what exactly some of these things mean...
Sorry I cannot help any further then that
Oh and just curious, do you mean GPS or GPRS? GPS function you will need something like tomtom navigator hardware for that to work (generally plugs in the SD card slot, not the USB slot. Kinda Stupid in that respect). GPRS should already be functioning on that phone. Of course should being the operative term...

solution to "failure to connect" error
so, i have the 8525 (htc ttyn) with wm5, and the solution to this problem is quite simple....thanks to boe-dye for alluding to this setting.
the >>progam/stream media/menu/options -- connect via:>> needs to match the method which you are connecting to your streaming source
simply put, if you're using your nic (802.11 b/g) it should be the internet or whatever matches your >>settings/network card -- connection>>
likewise if you are connecting via gsm/3g/mediaNet etc. then you should select that "cellular" signal
hope this makes sense.
(the name "the internet" is misleading, since even using gsm, etc connects you to the actual net the same as your 802.11 card)
enjoy.

oh cool... Well that makes much more sense as to why it worked
Now I have a question...
Does anyone know how to get Retina WiFi Scanner to work??

AT&T Rom for Orbit 2?

I recently purchased an Orbit 2 stateside and have been using it on Cingular/ATT for a few months. I struggle with internet connections routinely. Sometimes I can tether (modem for pc), sometimes surf directly, and always sms, but sometimes mms. What I'd like to do is simply find an AT&T ROM to flash to. Then I shouldn't have to continually tweak my connection settings. Has anybody considered or done this? There are a number of ROM's out there, but I haven't seen one specific to the Orbit (Not an AT&T product). Or alternatively, is there an AT&T ROM that will work well with the Orbit 2?
Any advice is highly appreciated.
Russ

No device... No ROM...
The only way to get an AT&T ROM for any device is if AT&T offered that device. Since AT&T is never going to offer this beautiful device (Due to the craptacular iPhone) there is no AT&T ROM for this device. Your best bet is to try different radios like the 1.64.08.21 or get them all and see which one works best for you. I am in MI and the 1.58.25.14 is working great for me. I am going to try that 1.64 radio though. Hope this helps...

Here is a cab that should help.

I'll give it a try
Thanks for the link.... I've tried a few of the .cab's for setting all the media settings with varying degrees of failure. But, I'm game for trying another. Do you recommend I delete all current settings, or just over-write.

i use this cab on my Orbit 2 w/at&t and i never have any connection problems...

No dice
I immediately get the "cannot connect with current connection settings. To change.... blah, blah, blah.
Life is cruel. Any further suggestions. I'm committed to figuring this out in the next few days or ebay'ing it.
Thanks,
Russ

I am using the touch cruise on AT&T and I do not have or have had any connectivity issues at all. I have even had signal 7,000 feet up in the mountains in the middle of now where and received phone calls and access data such as emails ect...

bkeaver,
Great for you gives me hope.
I had things setup once before and didn't do a backup. Accidently hit the O2 Operator Settings and couldn't shut it down fast enough. Been hosed ever since. Still hoping for divine intervention from the guru's here and at other places.
Russ

I think I finally found the magic recipe.

I 'disabled proxy' using this cab setup after using an MMS cab setup. It has the ability to enable/disable proxy. I'm guessing this is different than whether or not the connection is trying to use one.
Should know in a bit if I can actually connect to my work emails again.
Thanks all,
Russ

Suweeeet Georgia Pie!!!
Finally, I'm connected to my work calendar. I wear so many hats at work that I'm only in my office 20% of the time and I really depend on my electronic reminders. They don't work so well when I'm not in my office. Having my electronic leash is a godsend (my daughter has a different opinion of hers

i understand you're good to go now and that's what counts! curious to know, however, if you deleted all of your previous connection settings prior to installing the cab file? i ask because i've been using the cab file to reconfigure all my connection settings over the last 4-5 months without a problem.

skype on 8525

hi all,
i've been trying to use Skype 2.2 for Windows Mobile Professional (Pocket PC) on my at&t 8525 windows mobile 6.
everything installs fine and i can connect to calls but the sound keeps on breaking in to pieces. plus the other person can't hear me.
i thought it was my slow 3g connection but it wasn't because i tethered the phone to the comp and used skype. that worked fine.
so i think it's a software issue? or the version that i'm using is wrong?
does anyone else have this problem? know how to fix? or which version of skype are you guys using with windows mobile 6?

oh i just found the solution, for those that have the same issue. you need to get an earlier version of skype: Pocket Skype 2.2.0.18 Beta!
get it here: http://smarthacks.com/2007/06/26/wo...-trinity-p3600/

I have the same problem on my Dopod 838 pro. Can't find a good solution because I'm using Windows Mobile 6.1. Forced to use the newest version with crippled sound engine. Anyway, the link appears to be erroneous to me. Error 404 in that blog.

Same problem here. Sound breaks up. Using Schap's 4.31.

Re The above broken link:
The older version of Skype is hopefully still on this link:

Just wanted to say in advance, Thanks Mike.
Just checked my Skype account, so I can talk to an old friend in Poland, and hoping this will ease this...
Do you know if it'll work through the WIFI on the phone? (Hermes). Or do i have to preconnect it to something first?

mobile skype the same as desktop skype is a bloated, useless piece of sh..software.
The reason the sound is breaking is probably because skype takes up all the available processor's resources and it's not enough for it.
I use fring, the sound quality is not as good, but at least it's bearable.

Yes it works through wifi. It's a while since I set it up, but simply put, if you are connected to your PC by wifi and the connection connects to the internet then Skype will too.

sirius player for tp2

Ok now i know its been on alot of old threads and other sites and the sticky's but im new to this whole modding the phone thing. But can someone please help me out and post a sirius player that will work on my stock rom tp2 I have downloaded alot of versions of sirius wm5 and C-aspisro but both do the same thing when i go to connect it says connections failure and wont connect and yes i do have a subscription with sirius so can someone please help me out.

I have C-apsiro working on my Tilt 2. In settings you have to check the enable Sirius Proxy, make sure enable logging is NOT checked in the general tab. I'm assuming you're choosing Sirius instead of XM in the loggin screen. If you do get it working though the app is a serious battery drainer, you'll lose half your battery life in a couple of hours.

I found the new version to SiriusWM5.....SiriusWM6. it worked for me. I couldnt get 5 to work so I went looking for a new version. I believe you can get the 6 on geekstookbox.

Works for Me
Finally Sirius on my WM Phone, works perfect on my HTC Tilt 2

Wors for me
Oh yea, I'm using SiriusWM6
