QUOTE(DTHDLR @ Apr 15 2008, 08:51)  This is probably a lame question but how do you get the tmobile dash / HTC excaliber to work on the sprint network? Allready performed SIM unlock and sim card is recognized. Considering they're different technologies completely (CDMA vs GSM), there's no way in hell it will ever work on Sprint. Sorry  |

I would use this one: http://shop.eten.hu/mugen-power-s620-excal...door-p-142.html In fact, I do use that one I get about double the battery life from it. With Push mail, non-push GMail, Palringo, and fairly heavy use, it lasts at least 2-3 days. On the regular battery it lasts a little over a day. |

QUOTE(truant @ May 16 2007, 08:47) I have the same problem with WM6, my fix was changing the home screen XML file to the one I wanted (Windows Default) by changing the names of the files. I also noticed that with this WM6 final version it runs really slow after restarting, for 3-4 minutes it almost seems to "hang". Perhaps this is due to the My5 software? Changing home screen settings takes several minutes too. I didn't have this problem with the WM6 beta or WM5. I dread rebooting WM6. Rebooting and changing the homescreen should not take several minutes. You have some problem with either software, the flash or the hardware. Try re-flashing your phone with WM6. If that doesn't solve your problems, then try using it without a MicroSD card in the phone.... If that doesn't work either, then you've probably got something wrong with your phone. Also, when doing these steps, don't install any 3rd party software... as it could potentially mess with your phone and skew the testing. |

QUOTE(badbob001 @ Jan 21 2007, 12:43) I don't have access to the rom files, but does anyone think this 'hack' would work on a wm2003se device such as my mpx220? Too bad no one made a nice cab install for those files... I do have access to the t-mobile trigger application that they made for pocketpc phones, so I'm going to see if I can get that to work on a smartphone. Also, the password for the account... is that the password for one's account at the t-mobile website or the password for the mailbox that t-mobile is monitoring? It's the password for the mailbox that T-Mobile is monitoring. BTW, some of us have created cab installs for it :-) However, I cannot discuss this nor provide links to it. |

QUOTE(pankul @ May 10 2007, 12:43) few things you can do ... read this ... http://www.modaco.com/content/forum/239456/http-www-modaco-com-index-php-showtopic-239456/ then get the files from http://mobile.surrealnetworks.com/Dash%20A...My%20E-Mail.cab I have not tested the cab myself, but if you need the files the cab has them or PM me. Requires files from the old ROM That cab file doesn't have all of the necessary files. Actually, it only has one file in it... my guess is that it's the T-Mobile e-mail configuration app, but not the part that intercepts SMS messages.I'll have to take some time at some point and extract the files from a ROM. |

This is an Outlook issue, not a T-Mobile Dash issue. Go into your PC Outlook and add a photo to a contact. Notice something? Ding! The photo is tiny, just like on the Dash. You'll also notice that if you sync with an outlook server, all of your contact photos will sync as well. I'm not sure about you, but I kind of like that part |

QUOTE(nexxexium @ May 1 2007, 13:22) Any new full versions on the shelf? which works with win mobile 6? The wm6 dash doesn't really support the dim/bright stuff. I can get it to work, but when you unlock the phone, the software automatically makes the screen bright again, and not in the normal way either... it doesn't trigger a notification that the power setting was changed, so my app never sees it and it stays bright until you let it go idle and come back from idle. You can use the old version of TPC on WM6 just fine... just don't set it to dim and you'll be fine. |

QUOTE(jimizee @ Nov 27 2006, 14:19) I think speed tests are deceptive. This reg hack doesn't actually "speed" up the dash, it simply increases certain memory cache which allows windows/menus to load faster. I would consider windows/menus loading faster a speed increase... It speeds up the display of windows and menus, right? QUOTE(jimizee @ Nov 27 2006, 14:19) I don't recomment number 2, the FATFS. You might have problems with activesync afterwards, and the speed increase on the second one is not really worth it. It's somewhere around 4 or 5 times faster read from the Storage Card with the hack. That's a significant increase indeed, and if it didn't cause problems for some people it would definitely be worth it. |

QUOTE(Wombleuk @ Nov 18 2006, 07:13) Hmmm. Nothing from the author in nearly two months now. I'm hoping that various users will provide some support for the product themselves All of these questions have been answered before.In any case, I lost the source to the recent versions of the software, so I'm going to have to start from the beginning for lots of the features. This isn't going to happen for a month or so probably, as my paying job has priority, and it's keeping me very busy. |

On my smartphone, I normally use the 2 and 8 key for Page Up / Page Down (respectively). However, on MoDaCo, some of the links are tagged with the first few numbers as links, so I can't use Page Up. Is there a way to fix this? It's annoying trying to scroll up and ending up navigating somewhere. |

QUOTE(chaznet @ Nov 13 2006, 01:05) Um... then you better tell the guy who wrote the program, you must know more than him and he's barking up the wrong tree. It's the answer he provided in the forum he has set up here for his product. I'd think if anyone would know, it would be him, not you. From the author: "On the other hand I had a friend from Microsoft contact me and let me know there is a problem they are seeing with apps that are not application signed. There is a timing issue with the notification system trying to start applications before the trust service is running. It might just be because this version is unsigned, which I am taking care of now." Sounds like a) It's a problem with Windows, not with the app (if it was an app problem it would happen every time at boot)  The author stated that it 'might' be the problem.Anyways, no reason to get so defensive |

QUOTE(chaznet @ Nov 12 2006, 03:16) CityTime Alarms is currently unsigned -- which is why you see the error upon boot. It still works, just generates that boot error until he gets it signed -- he says this is in the works, but it's been in the works for a long while now. I don't think that's the reason... it doesn't happen all the time, so it can't be because it's unsigned. |

QUOTE(chaznet @ Nov 12 2006, 03:06) Thanks... posted the same info here a week or so ago... You're right, they're nice. I like how they have the protector sandwiched between the 2 peel-away backings, very easy to appy. After a couple weeks though, they do start to loose their stickiness around the corners -- you should pick up a few of them, as they'll need replacing. I knew I saw it somewhere before... just thought it was on a different board :-) You're right, these are insanely easy to apply... I haven't had any of these type come off yet (I bought the same kind for my Tornado a while back). I'm crossing my fingers though. |

So, I can't for the life of me change the startup/shutdown splash screens on my Dash. Basically, when I got the phone, the first thing I did was remove all references to the T-Mobile startup and shutdown sound and graphics (by clearing the value). Now, I'm trying to figure out how to get the startup graphic back. I got the default registry settings, quadruple checked them, and it's still not showing up. It just shows the ms_screen320.png for startup and nothing for shutdown. Anyone have any clues? This is the default settings (which are currently in my phone). CODE Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Startup] "Image"="\\windows\\TMO startup.gif" "WAV"="\\Windows\\T-Mobile startup.wav" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Shutdown] "Image"="\\windows\\TMO shutdown.gif" "WAV"="\\Windows\\T-Mobile shutdown.wav" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Startup\2] "Duration"=dword:000003e8 "Splash"="\\Windows\\TMO startup.gif" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Startup\1] "Dll"="\\Windows\\oemstartup.dll" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Shutdown] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Shutdown\2] "Splash"="\\Windows\\TMO shutdown.gif" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Shutdown\1] "Dll"="\\windows\\oemstartup.dll" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Splash Screen] "MSShutdownBitmap"="\\Windows\\ms_screen320.png" "MSBitmap"="\\Windows\\ms_screen320.png" |
