thanks that explained for me. now do i need still to keep the cab on my mem card for it to work? and after i installed it a messaged poped up and said something about an old version and it may not work right. do i need to worry about that?

No, you may delete the cab without having any issues. It is safe to ignore the message about it being for an older version of Windows.

for saving all your contacts does anyone know if there is an option to "copy contacts" to my sim card? if so how do i do it?

Internally, it's not possible. But I found this app:

http://www.marauderzstuff.com/programs/m2s...py/default.aspx

But I'm not sure it works on the BJII or if supports copying both ways. There's probably another app out there somewhere....

what do i do when it says

"GPSTEST is not a valid windows ce application"

Which GPSTest are you trying to run? What file did you execute?

Perhaps you download the PC Installer? Run that on your PC while your device is connected if that's the case...

ok, when using the media player if you try to do anything else on the phone it turns the media player off. Is there a way to change it so it will play untill i push stop on the media player?

okay for the GPS "fix"... I installed everything and I get a signal when I run GPSTest... but when I start up google maps and try to find location using GPS, it doesnt find anything (just says seeking satelites 0).... am I supposed to leave it on auto in settings or manually set it to com4 etc?? both dont seem to work regardless.

Are you exiting GPS Test? Once GPS Test acquires a signal, press the home or end key to go to the home screen, then launch Google Maps. Don't close GPS Test.

Try them both. Auto and COM4...they both worked for me though...

when you tried this with google maps about how long did it take to locate satellites (with GPSTest running) ?

Varied greatly. If I was outside in an open area, clear sky, it'd get a signal in about 2 minutes. If the conditions were less ideal, it took up to 10 minutes.

I have a problem with doing these removals. I have the registry editor installed on my device but i can't seem to find any of these. When i go to sounds to take off the 300KB limiter, i cant find FileSizeLimit. Same with the SMS Sent message, i go to inbox but there is no settings. any help please! thanks

Remove the 300KB limit on Ringtones

# Go into HKEY_Current User → ControlPanel → Sounds

# Delete the key of FileSizeLimit

Get rid of the annoying SMS Sent message

RegKey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings

Create DWORD as SMSNoSentMsg with a value to 1

I'd also like to know how to keep the player running. Any one out there smart enough to hack this?

Have you tried opening media player - click on menu - click on options - click on playback - uncheck "pause playback while using another program." ???

My playlist continues to play regardless of what program I am running. The only time it turns off is when I get a phone call or press stop.

I am also in need of an answer to this question. I don't see settings anywhere under Inbox.

This would be so handy.

Thanks also.

Maybe this will help.

I use Mobile Registry Editor for my regedits, so your editor may look a bit different.

1) Navigate to: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox

2) Create a new key “Settings” Without the quotes

3) Create a new DWORD value “SMSNoSentMsg” and set the value to 1 (in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings)

4) Restart your phone.

Your not supposed to delete the key, your supposed to delete the value of the key. When you delete the key itself you get just what you got, a 0KB filesize limit.

You need to go back to

HKEY_Current User → ControlPanel → Sounds

Create a new DWORD Value

Value Name = FileSizeLimit

Value Data = 10307200 (this is how I do this hack, simply add a 10 at the beginning of the value data.)
