Internet Explorer Missing Home Page - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

I’m using Diamond with original 1.93 version ROM. I got it to work perfectly with both Wi-Fi and 3G network for all applications without exceptions.
Lately, Internet Explorer started to behave strangely. When I start it, it immediately responds with “The address is not valid. Check the address and try again”. Same respond when I select Menu->Home. The address bar in both cases is left empty and doesn’t show "file://\windows\default_0409.htm" as before.
Favorites and manually entered URL addresses work flawlessly. This issue repeats itself when I modify the home page in the registry, with and without soft reset.
It seems Internet Explorer is disregarding the registry key.
I’ve searched the net and found similar issues in other Windows Mobile phones and also in previous versions, but couldn’t find a solution, besides hard-reset, which I’d like to avoid at the moment.
Any help to overcome this is appreciated.

Warning! More and more dumb questions are being asked.
1. Open IE
2. Type the address you want as your home in to the Address bar.
3. Click on Menu (Right softkey)
4. >Tools
5. >Options...
6. Use Current

Thanks for the fast reply, Usper.
you are right, it was dumb of me not to mention in the first place that I've tried that already. But I've repeated according to your steps, just to be sure.
Here's what happened next:
7. click OK
8. Select Menu->Home, got the same error
9. Click Menu->Tools->Options...
10. No home page is mentioned
Any more suggestions will be appreciated.

I have the same problem!
Anyone come up with a solution?

I have to say,that I have the same problem with IE. My first step was open google and in settings set it like the home tab...Didn't helped...Anybody with solution?

WM6 Typhoon bugs and issues

It would be may be good to create a list of known bugs and other problems with the WM6 ROM for Typhoon. Please post here if you know about some bugs or strange behaviour.
I have been using this rom since yesterday and after few restarts, the phone remains stuck for about 3 minutes in the "mobile operator" screen during start up. Eventualy it asks for pin code, but after typing in, the time, operator and appointments information is missing in the home screen. I have flashed WM6 once again, but this phenomenon occurred again after application unlock and installation of basic software (xbar 2.5, pocket controller, Binaries smart explorer, auto keylock, smart time sync) + few restarts. Now I am searching for the reason if this is caused by some registry entry or by an incompatible software installed...At present I removed all the software but problem still present. Ready to make registry clean or hard reset...
lot of software incompability, mostly games,
-bug tcmp looks like the same most games have; there is sound but the screen will freeze in a few seconds (sound continues )
..tried to add T9 language according to instructions described at Ronswens pages for WM5. During writing sms I can choose the new language, but after choosing it only beep occurs when pressing a key. I suppose there should be changed also some another key in registry...do we have some experiences already with the T9 languages on this WM6 rom?

I have found the decision:
1)
We open "exe" a file with game in any HEX-editor, we find gx.dll and it is replaced on g0.dll
We clean the signature from a file by means of SignRemv and it is done new by means of Signed tool
To place the changed file back, and a file g0.dll to place in folder Windows
or 2) To replace a file gx.dll in folder Windows, in any a file-manager to put "read only" and restart (there can be problems with other programs)
As example Bustem
PS: forgive for my bad English

how do you make application unlock on wm6 ?
Java
is there Java support with this WM6 ROM? I can't seem to find it. Very useful for Opera Mini and Gmail standalone app.

Use regeditSTG2.exe to modify the following phone registry keys:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies0001001 = 1 (that will enable the rapi_config, 1 means full access to rapi config, 2 means user controlled access)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies0001005 = 40 (that disallows the check for security cirtificate etc)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies0001017 = 144
Run SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe from the PC with the phone connected via ActiveSync. This will unlock the phone.
Disconnect and switch the phone off then back on again.
Hi,
I can't use voice talk (via handset bluetooth) before in wm2k3 and wm5 i have the fonction to add voice command with contact, but now no.
It is normal ?
Thx.
...I also revealed interresting behaviour when you are trying to connect to internet via GPRS. There sometimes occurrs error message that it couldnt be established GPRS connection because of missing GPRS coverage. (the "G" is also missing in homescren icon bar). But I am sure there is no GPRS coverage problem in my location.
So in this case you have to go into the phone settings and choose your network again. Afterwards when you are re-registerd in your network, the symbol G is present in iconbar and you can run the GPRS connection. Sometimes prolongomenous procedure...
I had pretty much the same thing as a few of the others.
Xphone11
WM5 - WM6
It flashed all ok, the phone booted all good and worked fine - but then after around 15 min of running, reciving one call and 3 failed attempts at sycning it died.
Well - actually, I re-booted it for something and it never came right after that.
These are the issues which appeared;
Contacts wouldn't open (yet the proccess was fired),
Calendar threw a 'missing file' error,
Start menu wouldn't work (no response from the button),
GPRS service was dropped ("no service available" - even though there was and the phone could see it if you seeked for it),
Yet the phone recived text messages while in this state and while calling the phone it just wouldn't do anything - yet to the caller it would appear to just ring and ring (not a provided service).
An interesting thing - I found that by making a change to the home screen or theme would allow the start menu too function as it should and the the clock to be displayed on the home screen.
Could be an area worth investigating....
I've had a taste now.... I want WM6!!!
What can I do to help?
...it also would be interresting to know whether there is a possibility to run the USB modem - I couldnt find it in start menu/accesories nor in the windows folder...

opera mobile as default Browser setting

since purchasing my hd I have had the beauty constantly on the internet. I use it pretty much all the time. I do however have one problem, i an not sure hd it is something I have done but when I open an rss feed's link in the rss hubb I can never get the links to open in opera. instead I hatedtm copy and paste. I an sure there's a registry hack for this so could anyone help?
I'm also trying to do the same...
please help
at least let us know if it's possible!!
Open up your favourite registry editor (I use CeRegistryEditor), and check:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\EFBROWSER
It should be set to "\Windows\OperaL.exe". If this doesn't work, try searching for iexplore.exe.
ok i found it you have to change the key
hklr\http\shell\open
change to opera and reboot!
thanks dave
I tried this but still couldn't get it to work.
Has anyone any ideas please?
1) Open Opera Mobile
2) Type opera:config into the address, this gives you access to tons of preferences
3) Expand the install bullet
4) Check Browser First Time Launch and press Save
5) Exit Opera
6) Restart Opera
The first time you restart it will take a while, and may even close without showing you the browser, but now open a link from e-mail or other source and it should use Opera to open.

Awesome, thanks fella. IE opening all the time was annoying the hell out of me. Apart from flash support, Opera is a significantly superior browser.

lost opera as default...again!
Opera 9.7b browser messed up my config...
Right... I really hope that someone can help me out here.
This is an old boring problem I once had with Opera, but I had then found my answer. Only this time the remedy won't work: Basically, after trying out Opera 9.7b and then uninstalling it, the cooked Opera browser in Dutty's 3.6 won't function as my default browser anymore (when I click on links from Google Maps for example)...
So I used the usual solution:
1) Open Opera Mobile
2) Type opera:config into the address, this gives you access to tons of preferences
3) Expand the install bullet
4) Check Browser First Time Launch and press Save
5) Exit Opera
6) Restart Opera
But the config above doesn't seem to stay in the system, once Soft reset, I can see that it is unchecked again... Could somebody shine a light on my moment of darkness please?
Edit: all sorted thanks to registry edit above...

Bluetooth to Polaroid Pogo

Sorry for asking this, as there's lots of threads about bluetooth problems with the HTC. This is a bit unique though, trying to connect to a bluetooth printer.
As far as I can tell, the Pogo doesn't support BPP and just uses OBEX. I can't get the devices paired for love nor money.
Anyone got any general tips with bluetooth file transfer and the HTC?
I've successfully connected a Samsung G600 with no problems at all, so it's not the printer, just what appears to be a finnicky stack in WinMo 6.5.
Any direction you could provide would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Tim
Quick reply.
After a reboot (soft reset I believe it's called ) OBEX worked to the printer and I'm now able to make 5x3 prints on the move!!
Not entirely impressed how you get to this interface. Settings, all settings, Bluetooth, 3rd tab (hammer, protractor, screwdriver), BT Send Object > Choose image by file name (no thumbs).
It'd be nice to be able to be browsing the images in the album and choose send via bluetooth. Anyone got any tips?
Thanks in advance. And Merry Christmas!!!
Tim
Not sure if you tried the following:
Open File Explorer.
Browse to the folder containing the image you want to print.
Tap and hold the image you want to print
From the Popup Menu, choose Send via Bluetooth
If Bluetooth is turned off, it will ask you to turn it on
Select the device to send it to
Ready.....(hopefully)
I have a Poleroid Pogo.. Here is what I did:
1) Tried to add device (By scanning and selecting the device) Use device pin (mine is 6000)
2) Added But said "The device has no profiles we were interested in"
3) In the Bluetooth program select last tab (With hammer etc)
4) Select "Print Images"
5) Select which picture you want (It shows thumbnails here, but can take a few moments if you have a load of pics on your phone)
6) Click "Next" then the Pogo will be visable.
7) Select "Pogo"
8) Screen Then appears with Printer (Should be your poleroid), Print Layout should change to "Photo" and be greyed out, Then a thumbnail of your pic.
9) Press "Print" and the HD2 will send to Pogo.
This has worked for me everytime after I have done a Hard reset and/or Flash of new rom. I'm currently on a 1.48 rom. Working Great.
Hope this helps.
Phil (diigibio)
Guys
Thank-you so much for posting replies. After following both of your instructions both methods work. It would appear that my problem is that if it doesn't work first time, I need to reboot - which I can live with.
The Print Images option is the best I have found, due to showing thumbnails of the images. But the other option is useful if I have a lot of images and I know the file name I want to print.
Bit of a shame that the bluetooth screen (print image) is not accessible without going to Settings > All Settings > Bluetooth. Be nice to be able to get to it from the home screen.
Thanks again chaps!
Tim

Noobie question

Hi All
Firstly wanted to introduce myself so Hi!
Secondly I have searched the Wiki area and get no matches each time, so sorry if it's been asked.
My HD2 will connect to i-player etc and link to core player. However I only get sound and no image or playback . Do I need to install a plug-in. I already have v3.5 installed.
Also when I am texting and I start a new sentence the first word I type and hit space does not automatically add a capital letter to the forst letter. This is quite annoying even if it is minor.
Cheers for all the help
Lenod
Hello, I got iplayer to work without coreplayer... this is what I did (I'm not sure if flash player is needed, but I installed it anyway):
Installed Opera Mobile 10
Installed Flash Player for Windows Mobile
Ran Opera Mobile 10, typed "opera:config" in the address bar.
Found the setting User Prefs->Custom User-Agent and typed in "HTC_Touch_HD_T8282".
Pressed save and restarted opera.
Connected to internet with WiFi
Opened "www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/iplayer".
Selected something
Clicked "save" and then "open".
It plays in Windows Media Player.
I automatically get auto-capitalisation, I'm using XT9 mode with word completion and spell correction. Maybe that will help, otherwise I think there'll be a registry setting to change it, but that's more hassle.
Found the setting User Prefs->Custom User-Agent and typed in "HTC_Touch_HD_T8282".
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
thats the bit that makes iplayer work. I use it on 9.7 with that user agent, no probs.
Thanks Guys! Much appreciated

[Q] *Help Needed - how to permanently set the sort type for notes & office mobile

Hi All,
(I have already searched the forums and couldn't find a thread which is why I'm posting here)
I have a t-mobile HD2 (energy ROM 29020 build (in case anyone is wondering)) and I'd like to be able to set the following:
When viewing Notes or Office Word & Excel files - I want to be able to permanently sort by Type instead of the default of Name. Every time I set the sort by to Type - whenever I soft reset or even exit any of the above applications the sorting defaults back to Name instead of keeping my selection of Type
In File Explorer - my sorting choices remain the same no matter if I shut down, soft reset, exit the application etc.
I tried searching in the registry but couldn't file the exact key (I was using broad search terms such as Sort, Type, Sort By, etc.) Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
I can upload a picture if that helps - but I hope I was descriptive enough for all to understand my issue. Thank you!!
