im going to be using the palm pre minus for development but its is deactivated and palm wants me to login with my palm profile but its not connect to the sprint network and i cant turn on wifi.... so what should i do?
I have the same thing. What I did was use something like devicetool.jar or something like that. Google for bypassing activation on Palm Pre. You should find a link on the Palm website along with instructions.

Just checked. Dowloading it now.
Got it. Don't like it.
It's slow. And no Messenger. It's pretty and does email and those other Yahoo things, but not YIM.
Back to square one.
any update on this yet...?
Sort of, possibly.

I only browse these forums once in a while, but an update to this that might work out for you guys.
My wife recently got a (Cingular, oops I mean AT&T) Samsung Blackjack and it came with a link to install an instant messaging software package from OZ. I 'tested' the cab file out on my 8125 and it works in portrait mode, but you lose the text entry screen in landscape. It also does not accept touch screen input, as it was designed for a smartphone. The one caviat is that you have to keep and maintain a strong signal to use it effectively.
So if you know someone who has a blackjack, or maybe even another smartphone from cingular...err AT&T you might be able to access the cab from their phone and test it out on yours.
Daniel,
FYI: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=302939&highlight=cingular+messenger
I've been looking around the forum and the web trying to find an installer, or any way to get myfaves onto a windows mobile phone, particularly the smartphone (2125/SDA)
Has anyone around extracted it (from the dash?) yet?
Any help or guidance would be appreciated.
you do realize the myfavs program is exclusive to tmobile as it does save your 'favs' serverside as you can change them via their account management webpage (noticed your sig ses at&t)
typically on the MDA I always had to call in to have this application pushed to my phone (tmobile has some sort of over the air push)
I'm a man of technology, and does not tend to follow the masses just because of quirky advertising, or getting a phone because everyone else has got it... for example the iPhone and the Blackberry.
I have got a lovely Touch HD, I know its a great phone, and I have been a Windows Mobile Phone user since the days i left my Palm Treo 600 behind, and moving to a Trinity, and now the HD.
Problem is trying to convince others that my HD is better than the iPhone, and better than the Blackberry. But when everyone says "oh but can your phone do blackberry instant messages (of which you dont pay for) etc etc", my response is, ummm errr dunno" and at that point I kinda loose my argument.
I've read here and there that Blackberry Connect is an app that can run on supported HTC/Windows Mobile devices... now this sounds great. Does this mean I can participate with all my friends and their instant messaging antics too? *update: according to posts, the HD isnt working with any version of BCC yet, but lets ignore that fact for the time being and assume it will work soon*
I'm not too sure how or what Blackberry Connect is, it seems to imply that it uses Push technology. My only understanding of Push technology is when Microsoft Outlook server pushes emails to the client computer as apposed to a send/receive request from the client. So how on earth does this theory apply to blackberrys and instant messaging.
I would appriciate if anyone could enlighten me.
Although I feel I have the better phone, I feel left out because everyone is IM'ing each other every minute on their blackberry's
Cheer me up somebody please!
Thanks,

If these are not in-depth or technical enough, I'm sure you'll find more details easily on blackberry forums.
Thanks, that was a good read. I have a much better understanding... The information about Blackberry Messenger and the PIN and how it works via Blackberrys servers is mostly what I wanted to know. From what I understand, everyone on a BlackBerry can instant message each other free of charge because the messages are sent via the RIM server/provider, and data transfered over this is apart of a Blackberry dataplan that must be purchased (when buying your BlackBerry device).
So with this in mind, does that mean I wont be able to install a windows mobile compatible version of the BlackBerry Instant Messenger application, aquire my own PIN, and send messages using a BlackBerry dataplan (because, in my instance, Orange know i'm using a PDA and not a BlackBerry) ?
Any guidelines on this one folks?
Ohh, I just saw this, have a quick read: http://searchmobilecomputing.techtarget.com/news/article/0,289142,sid40_gci1252776,00.html
It says Windows Mobile 6 devices can act as a virtual Blackberry, running blackberry apps and using blackberry services etc. This is a very old article, dated in April 2007, so surley this must be in operation now right?
Am I in a time warp?
As per
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/devices/enabled/device_manufacturers.jsp#tab_tab_htc
Blackberry Connect for WinMo doesn't have Blackberry IM feature.
hmm, i dont understand why they dont just sell BBM to people with other handsets, they could make a fortune from it.
I know there is Watsapp, available to download for HTC users, which helps you connect with people on iphones.. BUT I WANT BBM!!!
Does anyone know of a free app that will do exchange corporate directory lookup? If these phones ever hope to gain ground in the corporate world they really need to have this functionality out of the box and built into the exchange app on the phone (i.e. being able to do a "check name" against the GAL). I've searched the marketplace but can't find one for 1.5. There is an app for the DROID that does this but it is either specifically written for the motorola phone, or only supports android 2.0 (doesn't show up as a search result unless it is done using the DROID). This is my biggest beef with this phone and i'm thinking of sending it back and just waiting for them to be released with 2.0 already loaded.
I know there are some paid programs out there that claim to offer this functionality but of course i'd prefer to explore the free route first. Thanks!
There is a beta program from Seven (also known as Good Messaging) that does what you are asking for at no cost (aside from testing new features).
http://www.seven.com
I've been using it off and on for a couple of years now. It perpetually has bugs (it's their beta build), but it works.
It supports direct connect from your phone via Exchange OWA, or you can install a connector on your PC at work which integrates with outlook to sync over the air with your phone (useful if your company only exposes exchange internally or via vpn).
How can I use this app from Seven? The link to Sprint links to other phones and not any of the newer smartphones...
*update*
Nevermind, I got it. Have to sign up for their forums and beta program. Installing now. Looks very professional. Let's hope it works well.
Finally I can answer a question for someone else. The Sprint Hero has a GAL built it. Unfortunately you have to be in an email to run it, but you can do a GAL from there. Let me know if you need help. No need to get an app, its already there.
When in an email, in the to box, type the name and a drop down will be there and select Company Directory
What about on the HTC Eris from Verizon? It does not have this drop down for corporate directory option.... Maybe I'll try that seven program.

I feel like a moron here, but I am not seeing this, I can start to type a name and I only get my list of contacts in the phone. This is not a GAL list. Would be OOBER cool if I can get this working, and figure out how to delete and email ONLY off the phone not the server too.
My most recent problem is to do with my text messages - default app.
One of my contacts / threads has a Caution '!' triangle on it, pretty sure its just showing an unread message, but it's not very distinguishable as to read and unread - I'm damned if I can't actually find it in the thread, I don't want to delete the entire thread - is there a trick or tip to solve it guys?

At work I can't jump on to the company wifi, it has one of those web browser auth screens you have to key your login into first before it'll let you surf. A lot like at public wifi hotspots...
It doesn't accept my perfectly valid login, my old Blueangel, netbook and N95 are able to get on with no sweat.
Similarly, one of our web based tools at work doesn't have a paid for / trusted SSL cert, and my Hero (over 3G) warns me but seemingly does allow me to go further by presenting me with a login prompt, but again doesn't accept my login which is valid and keeps returning me to the prompt. I'm wondering if both these issues might be because Android just won't allow me to add SSL exceptions on its browser?
To that end I tried installing Dolphin and a few other browsers but I get no further and so have a sneaking suspicion that they just overlay over the same browser engine??

Hero running Android can't Bluetooth sync with my pc / Outlook and even when using the god awful HTC wired link can't sync Notes from outlook...
Even my old HTC Blueangel could accomplish such things many many moons ago, maybe I should go jump over to HTC's HD2, or does that also have crippled bluetooth capabilities as seems to be the backward trend that started with the iPhone?
I seem to remember trawling Android Market (Again) v recently and now a few developers seem to have 'Notes' sync on offer, anyone had any joy using such?
-----------------------
I just cannot get a clear shot with the camera, I'm no great photographer, any my physical disability plays part here - but I've had camera phones before and had far more success getting non blurry photos than with Hero. Is this a well documented shortcoming of the native ap? Is there a free app that makes the camera more usable perhaps?
-----------------------
I've not tried rooting or flashing my Hero phone yet, but am considering doing it if I sniff out the guide which I'm confident will be here. I just read Android commander may be a vital acquisition for reinstalling my Apps.
Ok i dont know much but i will try
Your current unrooted bluetooth is crap - i cannot get it to do anything but BT Headset connection
But if you root the phone - i used villianrom 3.0 then you have perfect bluetooth options, for syncing and sending files to other phones...
The camera is good for me, but i have to be god damn still. if i move at all it goes blur - HTC and camera's are the worse and you can get apps that do help. will try and track the names down...

This is normally to do with an un sent message, ie you have tried replying to message and for some reason (loss of signal), it was unable to send that message. Look through the thread and see if you have any triangles at all. Other than this, or deleting the thread, I cannot think of anything else.

I have the same problem at uni, where WPA2-Enterprise security is in place. Luckily I just use my 3G but understood not all have an unlimited data plan.

Android Cupcake (v1.5) which is what you will have running does not support bluetooth file transfer, just bluetooth headsets. When 2.1 is out you will have full support for file transfer. At current there are developer roms out there which are based on 2.1, but not official releases so have some bugs still. Again with the camera, think 2.1 has a better camera app but I havn't got round to trying one of the 2.1 based developer roms yet. Plus, they're not brilliant cameras. I barely use mine.

Plenty of guides. You may have to check whether your phone requires the goldcard CID bypass, which mine did using T-Mobile UKs shipped rom. Just abuot to go out or I'd link you.
Hope I've cleared some stuff up for you.

My response is not necessarily relevant to you, but my first Hero (brand new, bought SIM-less, GSM, October 2009), had a problem with wi-fi. Worked sometimes and not others. I finally determined it was defective, the phone. I was having other strange problems which I have never seen anyone else document here at XDA (though I haven't looked). I would very often get a SIM card error where a large graphic of a sim card displays on a home page with a red X circled around it. I eventually concluded this was also a defect.
I initially went to my T-Mobile store and got a brand new SIM card to swap - in case that was it... I had taken my well-worn T-Mobile Wing SIM Card from T-Mobile and loaded it onto the Hero from the start. There were no problems initially. Anyway, even after the swapout of a new SIM card, problem persisted. Next called HTC Tech Support (USA), they did trpoubleshooting with me, including sequential uninstalling of apps.. eventually recommending a hard reset... Which I resorted to because of BOTH the SIM card problem (when this displayed, I also could not connect to T-mo network at all) and the WIFI intermittent problem. FInally they said send it in for repair. (Not a Swapout for a new one, mind you, but a "repair", per policy).
After 2 weeks got it back with what was allegedly a replaced motherboard... The SIM problem persisted, but wifi was working reliably. Amazingly, even now HTC wouldn't commit to replacing it; then said they could only authorize warranty repair! again.
I have since bought a used HERO, and no prob at all with either of these issues. Thus, I just want to throw out a remote chance that you have some flawed hardware. I doubt it, but who knows... I guess only way to rule that out is to have someone with a Hero try to loan you a phone to try to log onto wifi at work, just to see.
Hope this was of help, just as the possibility that they DO have occasional defective hardware. good luck...
