Well, just bored so I thought I'd post some of the modification I've made to my Q;

Fist thing on the list was to "Application Unlock" the phone...

With any Windows Mobile phone a Registry Editor is a must, I use Resco... but there are others that are free... just google PHM registry editor...

To Unlock the Q the following resgistry changes are neccassary:



The following changes will improve the performance slightly on your Q:



Next I want to change how Internet Explorer is reconized:



Next I like to enable flash on my Q:

You will need to download the attached files,



Programs I like for my Q,

TCPMP - allows me to view tons of media files, I have been ripping movies to mpg formate to view on my Q.. I currently have the movie 300 on my SD card at about 300mb... you can even view divx files...

Vieka WordPad - Powerful text editor for your SP...

Resco Explorer - Powerful suite of programs, a nice file explorer and Registry editor... even supports .zip files, compression and encryption... and an ftp plugin...

Facade - Awsome Homescreen plug-in, allows you to launch porograms directly from you HS plus tons of other cool stuff... needed for most homescreens created here in the forum...

PocketNesterPlus - The best Nintendo emulator for your sp... Play all the classics, I think I like this one best...

DoomCE- Doom for you sp, what more can I say...

If anyone else has some cool programs or something else they would like to share please do...

Opera Mini version 4.1 runs great if your using Esmertec. Since this is freeware still I don't believe I'm breaking any rules here. If I am, sorry delete the file but please don't delete the post. Its just the installer jad program and then once loaded using Esmertec it will download the program. The program is listed at mini.jad

To turn on GPS on your phone, its not actual GPS but it works with the cell phone towers to get your position.
Its called MoDaCo.SmartphoneGPSActivator.COM3.CAB and also an added treat it will allow you to make registry changes too.
While your at it grab GPStest install that do a phone reboot and start gpstest. Once that is running load google maps and it will work like a
charm.

This is the gmail jar file for the motoQ9h and it works. But for me IMAP works much better. The file is gmail-mot15-g

Well that is all for me if any of you find a twitter program let me know. I've got a few I'm testing right now and I'll post them when I find them.

Cheers.

In windows go to start>programs>accessories>entertainment>sound recorder. go to save as and call it blank.wav

copy blank.wav to the windows folder on your phone.

navigate to HKLM\system\pictures\camera\oem on your phone's registry.

change the SoundFile value to \windows\blank.wav

take silent pictures.

I have had similar problems on my Q9h... Every single time the phone has to "turn on" the receiver. This is very annoying. AND if you don't quit or kill the program running the GPS, it will run forever. The battery life in the Q9h already isn't the best. I suggest looking at a GPS test application to actually see the time it takes for it to start up and keep working.

My GPS, when using the test, takes at least 5 minutes to start up. Somewhere on this site there is a GPS activator for our device, but for me it just made my data not work... So use at your own risk. But that is supposed to help. So my guess is that the program isn't turning off the GPS... It would be annoying but maybe you need to turn off your phone everytime you are done with the GPS, IF killing the program doesn't work.

Well well... i've been bleating on for *ever* about how hard done by Smartphone users are compared to their Pocket PC counterparts with no UI in the OS to configure the GPS Intermediary Driver (GPSID), and what happens? One springs up!

It turns out that a GPSID configuration utility that exactly mirrors the Pocket PC version is nestling away in the 'Tools' directory of the Windows Mobile 6 Standard SDK Refresh! If you're a BlackJack II owner, a Motorola Q9H owner or basically anyone wanting to configure GPS on a Smartphone, then you NEED this utility!

I don't think it's really fair to make you download a >200MB SDK install just to get hold of it, so (because i'm nice like that) i've packaged the application up into a lovely CAB file, which is attached below.

Enjoy, and Microsoft - better late than never eh?

This is an awesome find. Unfortunately I cannot get it to work with COM5. After manually editing the registry to try and connect on COM4, everything worked perfectly with the GPS... the only downside is data wouldn't work so it wouldn't download the maps

Now I am just trying to manually edit the GPS COM port until I find one that lets me use data and aGPS. This leads me to believe that not all Q9hs are created equal

GPS itself works without data....
but both the programs you listed require data to download maps and info.

I have a Fido version Moto Q9H. Does anyone know how to reset my phone to the default setting?
Moreover, I have tried couple method to unlock my GPS such as the modaco hacks, GPSID...
However, my phone always shows up a message the file is for older version of windows mobile.
Can someone help me to solve the problems?
Thank You All!!!!
