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??

Use the HTC Titan as a WIFI router to the internet

What is the best program out for this? i heard about wififofum and wmwifirouter
anyone actually use a program to do this now? which one are you using? and how well does it work?
I am going to be getting rid of my data card for my laptop with use of verizon's vzmanager.
Thanks to dcd, i love this phone, gps gets a lock in 5 seconds vs the ppckitchen.orgs builds.
now i just need this setup as a wifirouter and this 500.00 phone will pay for itself woop

I have never used WiFiFoFum, but I do use WMWIFIRouter all of the time. Works as promised and the Mogul even has decent transmitting range.
I have done speed tests with WMWIFIRouter and I still get 1.5mbps on speedtest.net

cool thanks! I am checking it out now. I am also checking out internet sharing, never figured out how it works but got it to work pretty easy
1.) soft reset
2.) goto internet sharing
3.) choose usb for pc connect (but dont plug in the usb cable yet) and choose data network connect
4.) pressed connect
5.) pluged in usb cable (status is now connected, the soft reset was the key)
gonna test out internet connection now.

but when u do this do u get hit with those god-awful charges from your service provider? i tried something like this once and sprint tried their hardest to hit me with all types of data charges and i have a data plan already!!!

I am having issues trying to use the WiFi router application. It's starts up but I can't seem to find it when I search for network on my laptop. I have a tilt and it works just fine from that.
Any one else have any idea's?
Thanks for the help

Well the new WMWifirouters suck, but here is the one i use, just make sure you have your titans wifi on when trying to connect using wmwifirouter

I'm having a similar problem, trying to connect either my PSP or my laptop (with 802.11b only). After starting up WMWFR, it says connected and ready, but neither of my devices can find it (this is with the version of the app that was just posted last week.

The newest and latest versions of WMWifirouter actually work a billion times better than that old ass version, Also give some love to the dev by buying the app he has put hundreds of thousands of hours into the app

apparently the PSP won't even connect with the commercial version, so never mind
plus, I think you might be exaggerating the "hundreds of thousands of hours" just a bit

WmWifiRouter
I've used WmWifiRouter for 8 months now, since close to its conception, and I can say without a doubt that I wouldn't try anything else. The new v1.2 will be coming out soon with the new core, which does not use the Internet Connection Sharing software with WM and makes it much faster and more stable. This is currently in beta testing, and will be released as a public beta in the next few weeks.
I have NEVER paid a tethering charge, and I can say it's well worth the small amount of money to get on board with this one.

WmWifiRouter works well, but it drains the battery very very.. fast via the WIFI...

o rly?
Even if he only put 100,000 hours into it, this would mean he had a Windows Mobile 6 device with Wi-Fi back in 1997 and started work on it back then.
Don't get me wrong, it's a good app, and he DID put a lot of effort into it, but there is no need to worship him

oh right might not be hundreds of thousands of hours but I know he's put a ****load of time into the app. I'm not workshiping him but I know how hard he's worked to put out a good product

Newer version
I think the newer version of WMWiFiRouter permanently kills WiFi on my Titan. I've had to replace my Mogul twice, and it's worked before installing the proggy, never after. Even after a hard reset, or new ROM.

Connection issue when playing online games

Anyone on the T-Mobile USA have any drop/lag connection issue when playing online games such as dragonplay poker? (same thing with WSOP etc.)
This happen to me just two days ago. My signal bar is FULL on high speed.
I did not make any software changes to my phone and did not drop it either.
I am on 4.2.1 android
I have tried to remove, reinstall and reboot the phone and still have the same issue.
I have no issue when using chrome to browsing the web or getting on facebook.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think I know what the problem is.
Did a speed test and my PING have 951ms. So I think this is more of a tower issue with t-mobile ?

Awful wifi reception! Am I the only one?

Hey guys!
Bought my OUYA roughly a week ago. I can say I'm not certainly happy with it. The only reason I got it was to stream movies and TV shows via XBMC so I could ditch my huge and noisy tower PC.
But oh, the wifi reception is SO utterly terrible, it can't even handle that task! Videos buffer for ages and when they do play, it starts to buffer it again in like five seconds. I got to watch one Friends episode with it this whole time. The PC runs on the same network and plays everything, even full HD, perfectly! I'm planning on selling my OUYA forward and getting something with... well the ability to stream stuff. Enthernet connection would be too hard since the router is so far away and I hate wires and an enthernet bridge costs a fifth of the price of OUYA.
And it's not just XBMC, everything, I mean everything is slow(network wise). Browser takes its time to load pages and don't get me started on the download speed...
So anyone else having this? I've tried factory reset and everything, but it just doesn't seem to do anything.

I have not had any problems with the wifi or network. I would make sure your wifi is properly configured before pointing to the ouya. I suggest downloading an app or program that allows you to look at all of the wifi signals in your area. A lot of times, bad wifi reception is caused by congestion on a particular channel. I am assuming you are running on 2.4ghz since you did not provide much information to help you. If you are on 2.4ghz, there are a lot of things that run on this frequency so I would do research to make sure other sources are not causing bad wifi reception. I suggest downloading Wifi Analyzer on android to determine the strength of your signal near the ouya also. Google "bad wifi connection" and you will get many ways to improve your wifi signal. If you already did everything you can to rule out other factors, then it is possible your ouya is faulty. I would suggest contacting technical support and getting a replacement. My ouya runs perfectly. It streams 1080p from my NAS. You never told us where you are streaming from. It would make sense to run a diagnostic check on your source too.

Wifi reception/speed is a pretty common complaint. So far there isn't really a solution. I've been running cm10 for a bit over a week and it seems wifi performance has improved but for me the problem is sporadic so it's hard to say whether it's really gone or not....of course cm10 isn't without it's own problems.

I think this last firmware update just ruined WiFi performance. I was able to run 1080p movies over WiFi network before updating...
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

This is actually a major complaint.
I think it could be a few things.
Craptacular wireless card?
Connection deminishment? <-- That is my issue. My router is upstairs and I have my ouya downstairs next to my bed which is surrounded by concrete walls. (I live in the basement like a boss)
Also Android wifi cards are not really known for keeping the best of signals. But I know in the latest firmware update they were working on a way to speed up the update process by doing something with changing the way they handle OTA's. Either way, I think they are working on a way to fix it.
PS: New UI is SLICK!

ArmorD, wifi and usb weirdness were sort of the major things I worried about getting an ouya.
thankfully, wifi has not been a problem, I can run utorrent at surprising speeds.
but from how many users' complaints I've seen, this seems to be something ouya really need to investigate? it could be as simple as bad antenna or poor solder joints? or it could be down to local interference (microwave ovens, DECT phone systems, CCTV wireless cameras, or even as basic as is one radio too close to another radio?)

Wow I thought this forum is dead and kinda forgot this thread. Anyway, agree with you guys.
@darkknight1812 I know that, been using Adroid since the early days and know exactly what you mean. However all my other devices have pretty good speed in the same network.
But I did find a solution for slow XBMC streaming if you guys are interested. You just have to modify advancedsettings.xml(xbmc) and change the max buffering to 0(unlimited). It's supposed to be only working on Gotham but it did work perfectly with Frodo(the one that can be downloaded from Discover) as well. I'm too busy to find the guide but you'll find it by googling around. I'll post it later if someone's unable to find it.
Cheers.

I know a lot of people have been complaining of horrible wifi reception. In my house we have DECT phones and a microwave, and a baby monitor. Whenever the baby monitor is on, our ATV2 in the bedroom (wifi) gets HORRIBLE reception. Even laptops when the monitor is on will be shaky.
I just got the Ouya this week, set it up in the Den (no wired ethernet ports there) and to my amazement, using the latest nightly XBMC (2013-12-09 i believe?), i am able to stream 1080p MKv's (8-12 gigabytes per movie) with only a single buffer when it first starts loading. After that, to my amazement, i've been having no issues at all. Granted, haven't yet sat to watch an entire movie, but in the 5 min test I did last night, it was working for all formats and even decoding 5.1 for me.
tl;dr I'm extremely happy with my new Ouya purchase and amazingly getting fantastic wifi reception
(p.s. I have NOT set that buffering var in advancedsettings.xml, just installed nightly as is)

much lag LG k8 x240

hello, good day recently I got an LG k8 x240 and I installed applications and games and everything, the problem is that it has too much lag really I do not know because it only affects online games, applications run at full speed and games that they do not need internet, it does not affect them either, format the phone but the problem you got, some solution

If it only lags in online games than your internet is to blame not phone

the problem is that it is the only phone that suffers my internet is 15mb and in the huawei y360 that I have no lag :llorando:

Well you said it yourself that only online games have lag, so there is that, only thing I can remember now is maybe you picking wrong server, if it's a game like pubg where you can choose server
