a few quick universal questions - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

I might be getting my hands on a universal so i have a few quick questions.
can i get an sdhc driver for the universal?
is it a quick process to enable true vga?
does the universal support 802.11g?
thanks in advance.

Hi
You have choosen one of the best devices ever made!
Answers:
1. Yes
2. Yes
3. No

sweet
sweet
and
damn it
oh well. does it ever give you problems though that it only supports wireless b? does it support wpa though?
also do you use your universal as your everyday phone? what case do you have?
also can you give me links for sdhc driver and true vga?
edit: yay i just bought my universal less than 5 minutes ago. and the best part is i got a deal on it. i paid a total of $102.00 usd for it. yay.

I haven´t had any problem to this date using WIFI and travel a lot.
Yes my Universal is my everyday device since 2005!!.
I don´t have the links but use the search and sure you´ll find them.
Good deal!
Well now choose one of the greatest ROM´s we have here, read the Wiki, install it and enjoy!
And dont forget to vote!

well i'll say
1) Yes
2) Yes
3) yes....
you can get 802.11g capabilities but only with 802.11b speed as my freind Jon suggested...
-Jonny- said:
It's a registry setting, Ok, hopefully this will work - you'll still get 802.11b speeds (11 Mbit/s)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TIACXWLN1\PARMS: dot11SupportedRateMask=1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TIACXWLN1\PARMS: dot11SupportedRateMaskG=8
then soft-reset

^^^sweet thanks man.
ok now about sdhc support and true vga?
is there just a simple cab to enable true vga or do you have to have a rom that supports it?
i have search some about sdhc and i am confused again does the rom have to support it or can you just install some cabs and you are go to go.
ps sorry i did not mean to start 2 threads i blame the server.

sdhc is incorporated into most recent ROMs. You'll find it in Settings\System\SD Settings. If not, then do a search for this, by OllieD.
for VGA you most probably need a ROM build with it in. There is a cab for it, but I don't know that it's compatible with all ROMs - usual way is to install and see! You can get cab here. I doubt it works for WM6.5, but let us know the results! You may glean more information here (which I found by looking in the Wiki).

^^^thanks guys. now i just have to try to keep my sanity for 4 or so more days until it comes in the mail.
jonny your has 128mb of ram how much did it cost you to get it upgraded and where did you get it done at?

I bought it as an 128MB machine (will be selling my old 64MB one soon! )
However there are two routes I was looking at:
Buying chips and finding someone to install them, or getting done at expanses (http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=118227)

well it came in the mail early yay. now i have to find a rom.

WordNetCE

Hi All,
Well I've kicked off my first windows mobile project with a progam I call "WordNetCE". If anyone is familiar with Princeton University's program called WordNet you will know you can use it as a brilliant dictionary/thesaurus, amongst other things that are beyond a normal human's intelligence.
One thing I've found lacking for Pocket PC is a decent free dictionary/thesaurus, so I've set out to make one based upon WordNet which is free to distribute from Princeton. A person named Malcolm Crowe did the original .NET port for WordNet 1.6, so I modified it to work with the new WordNet 2.0 dictionary, as well as with the Pocket PC platform (it wasn't all copy & paste...).
It's free to download from http://www.ebswift.com/PocketPC/WordNet/.
Note though that I have only just barely kicked this project off, but the dictionary side of things is operating. You will find much of the other functionality isn't working, but will come online soon.
Please check it out and start giving me some feedback. Thanks.
Just fixed up a lot more of the functionality - it's more useable compared to what it was before if anyone had a chance to look. A couple of buttons are still not complete, as with most of the main menu, but it can do about 20 times more than what it could this morning.
Look very promising!
Just one question: Is it mandatory to store the WordNet database onto a storage card, or can I store it on internal RAM too?
the cab installer didnt work on my xda. T-mobile wm2003

At the moment it's mandatory, but there's no reason why I can't add an option. Not many people will be able to use main memory because the database is ~over~ 30 meg!

I wonder why? I'm using the T-Mobile 4.01.16 ROM on an XDA 1 and installed the CAB with no problems. Are you using an XDA 2? I'm not sure if there's any difference with the CAB installers between XDA1/2, or maybe there's corruption in the download file, I'll check tomorrow. VS.NET outputs CAB's for all the difference PPC processors, so I'll put them up ASAP to cover other devices than the XDA1.
Thanks for the feedback
Here's a screenshot that's also on the website :

I'm really sorry about that, my download algorithm had a response.end, so a "Thread Aborted" was being tagged onto any download. Changing that to Response.Flush seems to have fixed it, at least for that cab file.
Please give it another go, I do appologise for coming up with such a thread with a screwed download.

Hey man, no appologies needed. Great work, thanks for the great freeware. It worked great.
Thanks Iggy. Bear with me for a few minutes if there's any problem with the download, I'm just writing some referrer protection into downloads. It won't take long.
===OK, the referrer protection is finished and it's all working again...
I just uploaded a version I call 0.5 because it's 0.5% finished. Compared to the version since I posted last in this thread there's some major bugfixes; the adjective and adverb menus now correctly show, and there's versions for different processors.

sorry ebswift, the download links don't seem to work, and once you have fixed them what is the difference between arm & arm4 (xda ii maybe). let me know when it is fixed.
The download is now fixed ~again~...
I already responded to Iggy, but just so the group knows, ARMV4 is the one that seems to be uploaded to my device during debug sessions, so I can safely say that ARMV4 is somehow newer than ARM. So I guess anything XDA1 or upwards can use ARMV4. I have had both working on my XDA1 and I can't see any difference in operation, although I haven't tested for performance.
Nice job brother. Now works perfectly
Well I added the little convenience of the keypad popping up automatically, and popping away on lost focus. There's also a couple more menu items in operation. It's really not far away from working completely, most of the technical stuff is out of the way.
Just downloaded and tried, excellent work. Thanks for setting up the keyboard, makes it a lot easier. Looking forward to the final version, but so far excellent.
I just upgraded to 0.53 so the history works (or should work).
I'm really happy the way this project is going.
All features operating
I have just uploaded WordNetCE .99 with ALL features now operating. Please update to that version and let me know if there's any bugs. Thanks!
For those of you who tried that latest download and found it didn't work, it is now patched, you should be able to get it up and running now.

T-mobile MDA Java

Howdy,
I'm trying to run some java apps (GMM and Opera Mini) on my new MDA. IE has no idea what to do with the files, and after calling tmobile I was told what everyone on this forum probably already knows, the MDA ships from tmobile with java support removed.
Is it possible to get Java to run on this thing without flashing the rom? I plan on doing that in the future, but I don't have the time right now and would really like GMM for my road trip this weekend.
Thanks,
slick
Its possible but not easy, read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=41910

Thanks Mark, much appreciated.
Looking thru it, I think I'm best off if I just wait a week and flash the ROM.
Do you have any particular suggestions for a ROM that works in the US and runs java?

Xelencin's T-mobile USA 2.24 Custom rom fits the bill - automatic cid unlocking and includes java see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=53300
Or if you wanted an official rom many use Qteks 2.17 WWE rom and add their own settings. ftp://[email protected]/Wi...digy_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe
Awesome.
I ended up doing a backup / update last night and it went very well. Thanks for your help.
Strangely enough, the IBM websphere java manager seems to work a tad better than the one included in the rom (at least as far as GMM is concerned).
WIth the included midlet manager, gmm asks if it's ok to use airtime every time the program wants to download some new info. If browsing through a planned route, this is pretty infuriating. For whatever reason, the IBM version seems to remember that setting for your session. Also, it displays jpegs.

Stupid Noob! Needs Advice

Yep the title is right-
I've searched the forums countless times and read the wiki. Although i am more than technically experienced to perform the "upgrades" I cant quite nail down the step by step procedures for my device and the upgrades i desire.
Feel free to rip me a new one- but please direct me down the right path.
Oh i'm not in any kind of hurry.
I have a Cingy/ATT 8525
and I want to run Black and I want all the worthy tweaks that
allow one to have an extended array of functionality.
Thanks in advance and sorry for creating clutter.
Hi
I dont understand what you are asking - are you asking how to flash the black 2.5 rom? The instuctions to do so are in the black 2.5 thread, and also on the RUU installer package that you can download.
All tweaks are also included in the black 2.5 thread.
Its quite a simple flash process.
1) Backup all your personal data as your the device will be formatted (not including the microSD card)
2) Connect your phone via activesync on a winxp pc
3) Run the installer
4) In approx 5 mins, its all done
hi nmonger
thanks for the advice.
What i am trying to accomplish is get a fully tweaked 8525- or as damn
close as humanly possible.

I think that first you have to figure out what do you want with your phone...there are a lot of Tweaks and changes and improves you can do to your 8125, but not all of them could be usefull for you or ...
My personal sugestion is that read again the forum and decide wich things want to change and the go for them... everyone here can help you and there are already a lot of threads whit step-to-step info about upgrading and Tweaking your device.
I could also sugest that you follow the upgrading guide here on the forum and first upgrade the bootloader, then the OS and the Radio... and after that you will have a better phone and the time to look for more changes to apply...

really depends on what you want to use the device for. upgrading is easy [if you read and follow the guides], and the available roms on this site are pretty damn stable (for me at least). Depending on which rom you install, you will need different tweaks, add-ons. For example, for your 8525, at a minimum, you will want the cingular settings (which some roms bake in) and the keyboard fix. Everyone has their favorite installs. For me, a corporate user of the 8525 on Cingular, I have installed the following (keep in mind this is a subjective list) ... I don't watch video or listen to music much with this device, so I have not tweaked it out for these things:
Must haves (for me)
Goodlink
Bandswitch 1.2.3
BatteryStatus today plugin
Cingular Settings (by wpbear)
ComButtong-Toggle-Vibrate-Fix
8525 Keyboard Patch
Cyberon Voice Dialer (I use it, and I know it is lame)
Pocket IE Card Cache (to cache on my SD Card)
Acrobat Reader LE
Speed patch (buzzing for Black 2.5 when I run that ROM)
MPM patch (for Custel 1.3 when I run that ROM)

Interesting list you have there weinson.
So i have already stated on my journey here is what i have so far, its not a long list but i suppose its a good starting point.
WM6 Pro Black 2.5
Radio Version 1.40.30.00
What i need my 8525 to be is as highly efficient as possible i need the apps to open quickly and be easily found, i do a little traveling so i need my music and maybe a video or two. Web browsing to be effortless because i need to get on the internet for my job (i am a real estate agent) and i need the best WiFi connectivity available in addition to the 3g connection because sometimes im in Wifi enable buildings and cant get a "cell signal", thats also why i am looking at VOIP options and lastly i am searching for a non-windows push service, i'm really going to miss my BB until i can get a reliable solution.
I want to thank everyone for there help so far and the members for this forum ive been lurking for a while and am very impressed with its diligently helpful atmosphere.
Keep sending those suggestions- I will continue my search.

Bluejacking

Any of you fine individuals know of any good bluejacking software?
I've tried a few but they all seem to have problems working with my Trinity, unfortunately.
use bluezard
http://www.wm-soft.com/products/bluezard
worth to buy it
... this looks good. I'm waiting to see more comments on it before I buy it.

Thanks for the post and the info
well i didn t find equivalent appz than bluezard,the first and only prog that i ve bought in my life
nocomp, I see that you like to support good software development by buying software you like. This is the only software ever that you like? Or maybe you couldn't find it elsewhere?
Hey we all have bad habits - I fart in bed - but I don't go shouting about it. ...DOH! - I just did.
hahahaha,
well , the guy that dev it is always present for help you, the prog works like a charm, and it s very very cheap, so no regrets to have bought it
if it was 100$ i would of live without it
Did you take a look at:
- BTCrawler
- Sniper
Might be worth a look
hi,
yep i know these
check that:
http://www.wm-soft.com/article/the-real-bluejack-features-comparison
Hi,
That Bluezard software look BRILLIANT!, works fast and cool features......But....
a few years ago i brought Sniper and only used it on my Universal (M5000).
So i have tried to install it on my M700 and all went wrong. I kept getting errors saying "No device found" even if i knew there were devices on around me.
If anyone else is using WM6 and getting this trouble, there is a fix for this if you search there support forum.
This is the fix:
just install the netcf.all.wce4.ARMV4.cab file to your device (not SD card) and then run the software again, and all should be working
Note: to get Sniper to manage all bluetooth functions (like storage area for recieved files etc) you MUST uncheck the 'Accept all beams' in comm manager.
Hope this helps people out there to save time to get bluejacking!
has anyone tested the full versions of Sniper and also Bluezard to give me a comparison? which has the best features etc?
From what i saw from the demo of Bluezard, i would say this is the better but i dont know
Thank you for anyones time in advance
Is there any such scanner working with Widcomm BT stack? Tools mentioned above uses only MS BT stack

SDHC Support? Interesting Registry Entry

I've been getting a little annoyed at the lack of storage space on my 2GB miniSD card in my Wizard. I was going through the registry of one of the three Wizards we have to make some changes when I discovered:
\\\registry\HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\SDHC
It has a driver reference and other interesting (or not so interesting bits).
I was wondering if anyone with some technical knowledge has take an look at this to get HC cards working on the Wizard.
I wasn't too sure where to post this so I hope it is ok here.

Someone posted that this has been enabled in some ROMs I dont have a SDHC cards to test it. But it looks that this option has been always in WM6.
I have a 4gb SDHC kingston and untill now I'm not found a ROM that my card work. I'm using now TNT 1933 but I can change for another with this registry line if help.
Remembering that the Universals with some WM6 are capable to read SDHC. A developer here in XDA found a way.
I have hope. And faith. SDHC will work on my 9100.
p.s. Sorry my english. I still learning.
Well, I hope that someone will manage to get something working. All I need to do now is trawl through the forums to find out how to get my G4 device upgraded to WM6. I've missed a lot in the last 6-9 months!

As far as i know is the SDHC key for the sd host controller.
but it isn't a hardware thing to support it
