Oz Cab

Does anyone have the oz cab that is compatible with WM6? I deleted mine off, but have decided that IM+ and mundu take up too much resources for the little I use them. I have unlimited text messaging with my family plan, so I would like to go ahead and reload oz, but don't want to have to do a hard reset in order to do so.
Any help would be much appreciated. I searched, but couldn't find it.
Thanks.

Attached!

Thank you. Unfortunately, now I can't get the darn thing to work. It keeps saying communication error and to check my settings.

I had the same problem, what you need to do is uninstall it, and install it to your device. If you had it installed to your storage it will continue to give the error. If you install to device it will work just fine. Hope that helps!

If you want it to work you're goin to have to hard reset and let the T-Mo customizations run. Remember Oz IM runs off you're SMS and not a dedicated internet app, so there will be some settings that would have to be tweaked in order to sync it. I don't know if anyone has made it work or even tried to yet, but there are other options out there. There's IM+ and Agile but you'll have to purchase them after trial period, and there's also imov and palringo which are both free, but have their share of problems. All run on internet so it's much better than sms based.
I personally use a combo of palringo and imov. Palringo is better looking and more feature rich than imov but disconnects frequently even when there's service. Also, as of right now, there's a problem with switching between different chats. It doesn't save your conversion once you exit out and there's no workaround at the moment. Imov basically has no features, is very basic in looks, and has ads that take up about one-third of your screen, but it is much more stable. You can leave it running overnight.
Hope this helps

You don't have to do a hard reset and let the Tmo extras run, I am running my wing debranded with the cab re-installed to my device, and it works for me with no problems. Although you can use the other programs papito mentions if you have a data plan. If you just have a text msg plan use the oz cab.

how do i choose to install on the device? it doesnt give me an option. i use 8525 btw
or are you guys talking about miucro sd card cuz i dont have one

thx alot ive been lookin everywhere for this.

Whats Is OZ Pocket PC? Just got my wing and I'm looking to trick it out.
Thanks

Okay, I think I have this OZ communicator figured out somewhat. It seems that there is a registry key that makes a connection to a site that (I would assume) handles the IM/SMS exchange for the OZ IM Client (HKCU\Software\OZ Communications\Configuration\1\Network) which points at http://aol.cwmim.com:1171 I would think that it is the conversion here that creates the text message charge. I would think that t-mobile would have a similar site to put in here that handles conversion for their network. Anyone have a t-mobile phone with OZ, and can pass that out to us?

I have a t-mobile wing with a custom rom on it. I wanted to install Oz because i wanted to have the instant messengers. I do have unlimited text and the basic data plan. When I installed the program, it gave me a communication error and to check the settings but it also sent me a text message...which I didnt understand. How can I get the program to work? I have it installed on the device memory already.

AIM for the 8525

i currently have the UK version of aim on my fone and its a hassle to have to login by sending a message and even more annoyin to press the send button instead of enter. ive tried other free versions of Aim such as IM+ and didnt like them except Agilemessenger which was good but last only a week. I saw a link to this site that mods the uk version to work by pressing enter but idk how to install it? it just downloads the file and i dont know wat to do with it? can ne1 help me or give me sum other options for free aim messengers that work on the 8525?
here is the link to the file i downloaded.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=29210&d=1153123292
thx in advance

I've attached is a modified version of the AIM I use that I snagged off a Treo site back when i had my 700w. Basically, it takes the File Menu that's usually on the bottom, and flips it to the top. It works AWESOME
To press enter to send a message, go into the Preferences and uncheck where it says 'Enter key sends return' or something along those lines.
Other people had problems with AIM staying open.. while using this version of aim and X-Button from HTC (task manager) and my connection 'Always On' in HTCustom AIM runs forever, unless you lose service, in which you have to re-sign on. The sounds and everything work great while it's running in the background, even with the phone off it works. I haven't noticed a big change in battery life either.
Only if there were some type of today plugin for this..
If you need any help feel free to message me..
EDIT: included a screenshot so you can check it out.

it uses sms but it won't work on mogul will say md5 digests don't match or something like that.

I've found and begun using palringo. Nothing else I've found so far really compares.
I just wish verichat had a wm version.

Sprint Mms not working

I can't for the life of me get my mms to work. I've got the ppcgeeks cab with the sprint server already set up, i've reset multiple times and i've also tried adding a new sprintpcs server with all the correct info but nothing..all i get is a "Message delivery failed Retry now or Retry Later"
Anyone know how to fix this? I've been at this for a few hours now and can't find anything!

I found with the ppcgeeks mms program that you don't have to set up any servers, just use the [email protected] or whatever and it seems to work. I'd say uninstall it and reinstall then just try to send something with all the default settings and see if that works. Are you with sprint?

Yes i'm with sprint. I've uninstalled, reset and reinstalled a few times and still getting the same error. I've also tried the version of the cab that has the verizon server set up on it and adjusted settings from there..also i've done it without messing with the settings..nothing. Agh! I just want to be able to send pictures!!!

I know what you mean, I had trouble with the ppcgeeks mms program when I first tried to get it to work right after I got the phone, I ended up giving up on it figuring i'd just have to email pics. Then like a month later I downloaded a different version figured I'd give it another shot. I uploaded the version I have that works on my phone. When i install it I don't have to set up any servers or anything it just says [email protected] but it works. Once installed i just go into my pictures album find the picture i want to send highlight it, hit the menu softkey, select send, click on "New Pix Miessage(MMS)" that'll bring up the app then just put the phone number at the top and off it goes. Let me know if you have any luck.

for some reason it wouldn't let me upload in my last post, but here unzip this file, then put the cab on your phone and let me know if it works, good luck

Where can I get the version you have that you say works?

it wouldn't let me upload it in the first post so i reposted it, its at the bottom of my last post. ArcsoftMMS.zip

That cab file seems to work for me. Thanks alot..4 hours later and it works..not to mention this isn't the first day i've messed with it. Thanks!! I'll have to hold onto that file.

glad it works for you, the only problem i ever ran into was once i kept getting a message "could not send, your file of xkb is over the limit of 0kb" which i couldn't get rid of no matter what i did, then i simply uninstalled and reinstalled and it started working again. I've read about other people getting the same problem, so if it ever happens just un/reinstall and you should be good. My friends got pissed cause right after I finally got it to work after like months of trying I had to make it worth it so I kept sending them pictures nonstop lol

Yeah it'll work for me at times, then it'll stop and I'll have to resinstall it.

what rom are u guys using?

im using dcds at the moment and no luck with mms...
it worked with the colonels but no luck since..i kinda miss it =(

Any anti-stealing apps?

I'm wondering if there's any apps for HD2 that works like "mobile defense" for android that can track the cellphone via a computer and activate the stolen device's GPS to track it.

Here's another one;

Can any of this be activated or monitored by remote PC??? Cuz i actually have a block message service for my cell phone account.

Im using Lookout for mobile

"remotetracker" (no space is intentional)

this is the only anti theft that i managed to install. the other are all too compilcated.
will notify on sim change. sms command are case sensitive. locate command will always tell location unavailable even when google map locked on gps.

F-Secure sms to finland?
I've had F-secure anti-theft in my phone for a while now. The txt location service works great, and last month I tried changing the sim, and guess what, got a sms on my backup phone with the new sim's phone number, which is exactly what it is supposed to do.
However, i checked my itemized bill today, and see the program sent an sms to Finland immediately after texting me. The number was 358400112368 . Googled this number and only got two vague references to f-secure on a nokia. Why in the world would they need to txt their mothership about my sim? Anyone else using f-secure anti-theft? Please check your bill and let us know if it sent a txt to finland.
As far as using other similar programs:
Mylookout : never worked for me, website says searching, and times out.
remotetracker : Stay away from this program!! its txt request uses no password, so anyone who knows you have the program installed can secretly monitor you via sms. An intentional oversight from the developer perhaps? And pretty malicious at that too! Edit: got it, see post below.
ms myphone : free version can only check the daily sync log. I cannot initiate a location search unless i pay, or am I doing it wrong?
so, anyone with f-secure got the txt to 358400112368? I guess this post will be the only 3rd google search result for this number?

wrong.
yes it does, if you dont set a password then yes, anyone can control it, , but set a password and it doesnt respond to control txts without it.

my bad. thanks Samsamuel for the correction. i re-read the first whole page of that remoteTracker thread and the word "password" was never mentioned in his post or instructions.
as far as my original question regarding F-secure, anybody else see the outgoing text to finland when they change SIMs?

no worries.
i for one can't rate remotetracker highly enough. i cook my own rom, so its cooked in complete with settings, so its completely hard reset safe. only way to stop it working is by flashing.
that random text you mention sounds a little iffy, you tried emailing them? see what they have to say?

another vote for remotetracker.
It found my phone when left in a taxi

the F-Secure thing looks nice, i think im gonna try it this evening
lets see if it really sends a sms to finnland xD

I came across this thread, and just downloaded (didn't install yet) the f-secure app.
A couple things I don't understand.
I believe I have read posts here about needing a "backup mobile number", for the company to send SMS to, if something suspicious is happening with the phone.
But what if one only has one mobile number, no backup? Is the app then useless? (Couldn't there be an e-mail, or a call to the landline?)
Also, I see that besides giving this app away, F-Secure sells "mobile secuirty". (I guess that means anti-virus and such. Is that really necessary? I have never used an AV on my phone before, and never had a problem with that AFAIK.)
With the post about the SMS to Finland (probably company headquarters), it occurs to me, they may give away this anti-theft app, in order to get your phone #, and send you text messages advertising their AV app? I wouldn't want to get spammed with text messages. Has that happened to anyone using this?

remotetracker can send email

i've changed sim few time. fsecure only send sms to the assigned number (i know, i've itemized billing, and i can send sms internationally).
anyway, since it can never reply with correct location, and i've already figured out how to use remotetracker, i'm ditching it too. plus, fsecure will always pop up with it stupid checking for update while i'm using my phone. can't it check quietly?

see my previous post. it always say location not available.

I just tried lookout. I like it more than remotetracker because it's easier to use (the online "dashboard" makes it easy). The thing I hated the most about remotetracker (and other apps dealing with coded SMS) is that I would have to use an authorized phone and the proper codes to do whatever I need to do. At least with lookout, I can just go online and kill all my data and locate my phone.
I tested the "locate" feature. It found my phone in 2 minutes, but it was a little over one mile away from my phone!
The "scream" feature: It's a loud firetruck-type siren...it was a little bad because San Bruno, CA (one city away from me) had a horrible fireball accident a couple of days ago.
I guess it does its job. The locate feature is decent, but to think that it was off by 1-mile, it could make a difference in a big city.

Visual Voicemail - Nation Wide outage for HD2's

Spent the day searching forums, flashing ROM's and Radio's, calling TMOUS Customer Care, and finally tonight when I talk to the right CS Rep he reads to me an Internal News item that was posted yesterday about a Visual Voicemail National Outage for HD2 phones.
Just in case you were obsessing like me about getting it fixed

If you run android this one still works. I tested the app earlier today and it worked fine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8957582&postcount=19
The older visual voicemail cab doesn't work either? Its can be found in the link below, on the 1st post near the top.

LOL I been trying to figure out why mine wasnt working ..
well thanks ! for the info !
Kinda was driving me nuts ..

same here, i been trying over and over and getting a no data error.. thought it was my phone and reset it lol..

Forum post on it over the the T-Mobile USA forums ... still not fixed.
Tried posting a link, but I am too new to be allowed to post links.

Still down after 6 days? Anyone have their VVM working?

nope it still broke

Found a Tmobile thread referencing this thread.
h t t p : / / forums (dot) t-mobile (dot) com/t5/HTC-HD2/Anyone-Else-Having-Visual-Voicemail-Issues/td-p/528406/page/3
I wish there was news as to when this issue will be fixed.

anyone confirm it's still down?
Which visual voicemail version you guys using?
I been working on this all day and called tmobile and they never told me about an outage!

Also. Are all of you getting paging notifications as well?
ever time i go to my Vmail, i get a **bleep** 129 page option, ive called tmobile about this 3 times. and it's back again!
Anyone Know Of any Fix?

For some reason it started working today. It hasn't worked in 3 months, but now VVM is working.

My problem is:
When i try to activate it, it shows a message "Your voice mail account is not active. Do you want Visual Voice Mail to activate it?" with "Yes" & "No" options. (but im able to receive voicemail (not visual)).
If i touch "No" it close the app. If i touch "Yes" i see a mesage "Getting account status..." , then "You do not have acces to Visual Voicemail. Please upgrade your account." with "Yes" & "No" options.
Then when I touch "yes" it open my browser with the massage "Your plan does not support this feature."
But I am with my wife in the same in common account, with the same plan, she with a MyTouch 4G, and I with the HD2. The visual voice mail of the MyTouch work fine, that's why i dont think this is the plan.
Does anyone know how can i fix this problem???
