I think the ATT navigator has text to speach

i ended up doing a hard reset. didnt want to, but i was tired of not being able to use my alarm and ringtones.

I bought my BJ2 refurbished for 50 dollars from att, ive been having the warrent plan on it, and im now coming to somei ssues with mp3's not playing... highly doubtful its related, but nonetheless

thast the issue, but on another note, are there any thing comments/feelings you guys have about refurbished smartphones?

the case/screen were in perfect condition, what exactly does the manufacturer do when they refurbish phones? and where do they get the phones to refubish?

well all my contacts are backed up in outlook, so thats not a problem, just blah, the gps activator thing, and the reg tweaks for the sms message notification ill have to search for again, i compared the reg. to my oem one, and it found some 730 differences, but alot has changed, and no signifigant differences in windows media player part. i think im going to try to do a little more diggins around to see if there is ANYTHIGN i may be able to find, but ill probably ahve to end up w/ a hard reset.

i really dont want to do that, so id like to try an alternate route?

or is there anyway to backup installed programs?

if you do some searching on the forum, youll find your answer. go into the connections settng, and turn off one of the settings im not sure which, but search its there. look in my posts, i replyed to such thread

They will not play. i cant set mp3 ringtones any more, it just defaults back to the att tone. it also pops up a message saying "This ringtone file is corrupted or unavailable. Please choose a different ring tone"

wow. i just found out even if i try to set any other ringtone it still says the same error message(even if i select the att ringtone)

so that sparked my curiosity, and the mp3's play in tmcore player.

and windows media player dosent even open at all, no error message, just does not open.

ive done two soft resets, but it still dosent work.

any ideas? solutions?

opra mini sucks, its fast at loading pages, but when i try to login to anything it just repops up to the login screen otehr than that, its a great browser, better than pie, which BLOWS. THEY REALLY NEED to upgrade that. or i hear mozilla is making a mobile version, ::crosses fingers::



LAWL a new browser*

IE = internet explorer, aka a product of microsoft.

so you mainly use your outlook on your phone? and not your pc? most people have the pc as the base, and sync the phone to the pc. but everyone's not the same.

first off, did it sync before?

click menu(right soft key) and then click edit. edit it to your liking. then click menu again, then hit file>save as then renamed it w/o the (1) (thats if you want to overwright the org file so you dont have duplicates with your new changes.

and you are saving the edited one as a different file name right? and your phone is app unlocked(not sure if this is nessecary, but dosent hurt)?

you know, its kinda sad that this kind of stuff hsa to be done outside of the default.

before i could not get youtube vids to work for anything....

maby its cu im stuck on the freaking EDGE network 3G is coming our way, "by the end of 08" ugh!

i did it the "alternate method" first, not reading like i should have(doh) then did hte first on... lol the video's work, should i just leave it alone? or is there something i need to reverse

im not sure what you mean or even did, because it seems like you didnt even follow instructions, you were suposed to remove </carrier>

nothing else.

this is what you do.

find your home screen xml, then pull it over to your desktop, via copy.

then right click, then go to properties, and uncheck "read only"


then open it in notepad, then edit it to go from (pic number one)

to pic number 2


then renamed it to something else, i.e. somethingelse.home.xml (only change the first part)

then put it back to read only,a nd drag it back to your aplication data/home dir

and you should see two of one type of home screen, the org one and it will most likey be the second one of the two of the same type

(to change the name that is shown, i think its somewhere in the xml, but i havent found it yet, im sure someone could tell us)

this should help, i hope

not to mention, that feature is on the network side, so if a number would call upon it, w/o a subscription, it wouldnt work, (or at least it would seem that way)

and yeah, no one would go through the trouble to create that size of a database for such an application with out a sufficent charge.

i remember on my old non smart phone, you could just call a number, then some stupid ryan seacrest(sp?wtf) and then you could just put the phone by the speaker, and it would send you a text with the song name, and it only was like 40 cents? or something around that price, so it was a pay per use basis. but i havent used it on my bj2 yet, so idk, but i could probably get the number if you like to maby try that way

(ok found it)

its #43, then hit the send button

what you could do, is, if your registry is in a good state, use CeRegeditor and backup your registry, and if you have any problems, instead of a hard reset you can just swap the working reg back, it might not ALWAYS fix your issues, but in this case it would have....

well now that i think about it, ceRegeditor has the ability to spot the diferences in two registry files, so a simple scan of that, would have yielded the same results as what that guy posted(but of course, i didnt even think of it lol so i was kinda worried until i finaly found it)

w00t for digging around

post number 129. works BEAUTIFULY!

sigh, so yeah everything was good on my end, gps test and google maps worked fine, then i installed the gpsid settings thing, and now i have no gps funtionality.... i uninstalled gpsid, but to no avail, any ideas?

are you serious?

i cant get the plug in's... could you possible make it to not use the plugins? (smart monitor i cant find, and i dont want to pay for a clock one, i like digtal clocks lol)

sexy! haha thanks man

well i thought that same thing, so i copied it over back to my desktop, and it was still as i had changed it

but yeah i just copied it to my computer again, saved it as a different name and it works fine

thanks

in active sync, go to explore my device, then open your mobile device's home directory. then open up application data, then the home folder, and the home skins are in there

(thanks nottach)

but sadly, when i changed </carrier>(used in context of "<text></carrier></text>" to a string of text(My name) it didnt work...

any updates on this?
