Yes its supposed to only be numeric - the welcome email you received should have both the alpha code (for pocket pc's and devices with keyboards) and the numeric code (for phones with 12-key number pads such as the qtek 8500). Check the email again for the numeric code or ask your goodlink support folks for it.

This had been bugging me since I got my Qtek 8500 - finally think I've found the fix, grab a reg editor and change this key:

HKCU->Control Panel->Goodlink->Password: ITLocked -> 0

Goodlink appears to keep changing it back to "1" automatically but so far it hasnt prompted me to put in the new code again

My phone is hanging when i turn it on due to the phone lock (it wont let me enter in the password for some reason) - I am trying to reset using method 2) but it doesnt seem to work - does anyone know of another way to reset my Qtek 8500? Or perhaps I'm doing something wrong. Thanks!

I did almost exactly the same as pinoymutt to get Goodlink installed - seems to be working ok.

Few strange things I noticed:

-I guess when you close the flip on the phone it simulates pressing the "Home" button, Goodlink creates a shortcut so when you press "Home" twice it takes you to the Goodlink Launcher, so if you are on the home screen and close the flip, then re-open it will be on the Good Launcher - if you close and open again, it will be back to the Home screen. Not a big deal but would be nice to switch this off.

-Photos/images for my contacts dont appear to come up now when someone calls (?) at least on the external display

-I turned off the Goodlink phone book app (you cant appear to set a default phone number for each contact with the goodlink one?) - it seems when I scroll through the contacts now with the original WM5 phonebook the left softkey reads "save" rather than "call" or "sms" etc. (or am i just imagining that it used so say those?)

Other things I dont like about Goodlink for WM5 Smartphone (this is my first time using it):

-The calendar doesnt have a weekly/monthly view
-The email acounter on the main screen only shows "inbox" unread which is kind of useless if you use a lot of folders
-same thing with alerts, you can only set them specific for "inbox" or "other folders"
-No external screen notifications (ok this is because they havent made a Qtek 8500 version yet)

Anyone else using Goodlink + Qtek 8500 have comments on the above?

What kind of "surgery" did you do? I'm in the same situation, trying to install goodlink and finding it very hard to find the 12meg or so it wants to install.

After the install does some of the space free up again?

Hi all,

I am using new Qtek 8500 phone on the Cingular network in the US over multiple timezones. I set the option "Automatic Time/Time zone" to "Enable" (in Date & Time under Settings) - and am seeing some very strange behavior.

Basically when I restart the phone (so that it re-logs onto the network) the time gets updated to some future time - the time zone (PST in my case) stays to whatever I had set it to before.

I travel over time zones constantly and my older (non-smartphone) phones used to sync up no problem whenever I moved over timezones.

Any ideas?

Adam
