My settings are in the quote below. One idea is that youre overclocking too much.

Ok...

So after playing with it more I think I figured it out. It may not be 100% correct, but I added the .wav file to the ApplicationData/Sounds folder, then synced the phone and the wav file appeared in my options. There may be an easier way but I did get it to work

Short of taking it apart I dont see any other solution. I used to take my Nokia phones apart and give them a clean out....used a fine soft bristle toothbrush to clean the keyboard sections out and a lint free cloth to clean the inside screen and the LCD display. I would suggest that it would be the same for the BJII but you would have to remove the screws holding it together..this would no doubt void all warranties and render the device un-fixable in the event of it dying.

I dont expect any high res shots of the internal parts of the phone in until next year LOL..when the 1 year warranty runs out. I could open mine and have a look...I have no warranty as I am overseas and purchased from U.S.A......

sorry about the duplication of the post... I same topic posted last night and looking this morning for a reply couldn't find it even with a search. then again, it wasy a really busy morning.

Uhm, well, kbit is different than kbyte. Frequently bandwidth is described in kbit instead of kbyte for whatever reason, but conversion isn't too bad...


And how they tell? Well, AFAIK, they have no way of determining if you're tethering or not aside from how much you use the data. They could monitor your connections very closely, but I don't believe they'll really be doing that. Just don't tether too much. If you plan on tethering alot, you'll have to fork over the extra cash.

Hi folks,

Any idea how I can stop reminders from going off every day at 6:00 a.m. The phone is set to alarm at 7:00 but reminders for all-day events are going off much earlier.

I seem to recall a 'business day begins/ends' definition somewhere but can't recall where I found it.

Thoughts? My wife is ready to throw either me or the phone out of the bedroom at this point. She's NOT a morning person :-)

Note that installing flash doesn't give PocketIE java support. If the site uses Flash only, it'll play in IE. But if the site uses Java and Flash, then you'll have to use Opera Mobile. (not opera mini)

I made this custom screen tonight...It's based directly on the original Facade layout. But if ya wanna use it here ya go! Just place both the .xml and folder in you Application Data/Home directory.

Be glad and enlightened. I just ripped mine off. I find these things more annoying then of any real use. In reality you are constantly plugging this thing in to recharge or sync all the time!

Thought I'd add a clarification on this tip based on some of my own tweaking. The value to delete will be called "Dll". If you delete that value, then the video is replaced with a default graphic logo.

The blackjack II (possibly all WM6 devices) uses a DLL file, not an image. The other image is going to be real difficult to change without reflashing the device.

So if you want a custom startup anim, you'd have to compile it to a dll, which is not going to be easy because, afaik, it's not yet been determine how it's compiled on the BJII.

5) Copy regsvrce.exe from the fodler “Step 4 - regserv” to your Smartphone and run it. Enter \Windows\Macromedia\flash.dll as the full pathname. This will register “.swf” under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT in the registry of your Smartphone. You should get a prompt for Ok and then Yes later on.


on a blackjackII where the heck is the "" \ "" button
all i see is "" / "" ..(a) button
i went ahead and just used the (a) /slash but it didnt seem to work

nevermind i figured it out
HOLD down the sym space key untill all symbols show on screen..

Thought I'd add a clarification on this tip based on some of my own tweaking. The value to delete will be called "Dll". If you delete that value, then the video is replaced with a default graphic logo. Annoyingly, during Startup the logo is displayed for a rather long time so getting rid of the video doesn't do much for you. However, if instead of deleting the Startup "Dll" value, you edit the Startup "Dll" value and delete the Value data, then no logo is displayed and the phone starts up much more quickly. The Windows Mobile graphic continues to display.

Note, that only applies to the Startup registry key. In the Shutdown key, if you delete the Value data from the "Dll" value, it causes a bit of funky behavior. Notably, there is no indication whatsoever (not even the Windows Mobile graphic) that the phone is powering off. It appears as if the phone locked up and is unresponsive, but if you wait it does shut down just fine. No lasting harm occurs; if it bothers you, then you can always go back and delete the "Dll" value entirely.

So, to get the best of both worlds, here's what I would recommend:
1. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>>System>>Startup>>1
2. View the Values (Note: I use RegEditSTG, for other Registry editors this may not be necessary)
3. Edit the "Dll" Value and clear the "Value data" field
4. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>>System>>Shutdown>>1
5. View the Values (see note on Step 2.)
6. Delete the "Dll" value entirely

Cheers,

I came across this and thought I'd share the knowledge...

1) Download SPFlashHack here (http://www.winmobiletech.com/072007SPWebBrowsers/SPFlashHack.rar) and extract the contents to a folder on your desktop
2) Use a free registry editor and import the All.reg from folder “Step 1 - Registry import” into the registry
3) Goto the Root Directory of the Smartphone from Explorer and copy the folder named Windows from the folder called “Step 2 - Windows directory copy” in the RAR file
4) Copy flash.dll from the folder “Step 3 - flash6″ on desktop to \Windows\Macromedia on the Smartphone and overwrite it.
5) Copy regsvrce.exe from the fodler “Step 4 - regserv” to your Smartphone and run it. Enter \Windows\Macromedia\flash.dll as the full pathname. This will register “.swf” under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT in the registry of your Smartphone. You should get a prompt for Ok and then Yes later on.
6) Copy flash.dll from folder “Step 5 - Flash7″ to \Windows\Macromedia and overwrite it.

It's a little involved, but works well. I couldn't get the Storage card install to work, but the device install is all good!

Mine makes no noise unless I press so hard that it makes the wheel more work to use then just pressing the button. And even then, it's so quiet a sound, it's not really noticeable. This is with the default settings - wheels sounds off.

Alright, so I picked up a BlackJack II today since I grew quite fond of my first BlackJack. Anyway I am quite confused on the GPS capabilites with this phone. I have read that the GPS in the phone is locked down so that ONLY TeleNav can be used and Google Maps, etc CANT be used. Aparently there is a hack that fixes this... HOWEVER, I read that others dont havent any issues at all and that out of the box the GPS works with Google Maps, etc. Can someone confirm this? Whats the point of this hack then?

Next, I have read that the SDA Application Unlock can unlock this phone. Is this true? My wife had just ended her contract with Cingular and I would have called them to get the unlock code but now I am out of luck going that route. Or is there another method? I am traveling to Isreal in Feb and want to be able to take my phone with me without having to get a cheap ass Israel phone.

Maybe someone adept at programming for WM can whip up a little app that uses minimal resources and simply runs in the background and maintains a GPS connection, so its "always on".

Discuss viability... -shrug-

Anxiously waiting for this app! :-P

bigneeker,
I agree its a pain to use 3 buttons to unlock - here's something that makes it easier - its still 3 buttons, but you do not need to use the Power button to begin the unlocking process. You can also start by pressing the 1 or 9 key to wake the device
so instead of Power (which is on top), Unlock and then *, you can now do 1, Unlock and * - still 3 buttons, but they are closer to each other.
Hope that helps

does anyone have any thoughts on how to use mp3s for notifications?

jpwoof, thanks for the suggestion, but that doesn't exactly acheive what I'm aiming for. Your suggestion simply removes the SMS tone. I just want to be able to hit a button while the alert is playing to silence it (for example, I don't want to look like a moron in a meeting not able to silence his ringing phone.
