Hi All,
Just got a SX66 and have read loads of posts on ROMS, updates, upgrades, BT problems...etc. I would like to get a BT headset but would like the phone to maximumly prepared in hopes of dealing with less problems and stress as former users. Problem??? I don't understand a bit of what these websites are saying and am also scared to death of totally destroying this expensive machine with the wrong press of a key. Does any one have the time to walk this clueless person through these upgrades. I hold myself personally responsible for anything that goes wrong. I can do it via IM since I have two computers at home - so can use one to communicate and one to work on the upgrades - both in internet access. I would greatly appreciate it! I have a very flexible schedule and have no problems doing it at mid-night if that is a reasonable time in your timezone!!! If anyone has the time can you please e-mail me at [email protected]. THANKS!!! :?
Here is my situation: I have a Tilt & a Work Blackberry.
My company won't allow me to push my work email the Tilt so I'm forced to carry both... I want to get rid of the Blackberry.
What, in the community's opinion is the best way to do that? I'd be making an end run around security, so this is academic in nature. XPressMail? Just auto-forward my mail? Something else?
Just looking for inputs, thank you!
Do you have Exchange at work?
Is webmail enabled?
If so, just try to point the tilt to the same URL, and it will probably work.

The tilt is capable running BlackBerry Connect so that you can connect to BES servers and get your push email on. You should check into that and chuck that BB to the side.
BlackBerry Connect
Use BlackBerry Connect on the Tilt and change your BlackBerry PIN to the the Tilt BlackBerry PIN. I think there are threads on xda addressing this.
yes, there are threads showing you that BBC will work on the Tilt.
I am in the exact same situation. I tried BBC, but it burns thru battery on my Kaiser, way too quickly, even if throttled only to Edge. It also made my Kaiser much slower
So, I use Seven push email software's beta version. I have a long post on one of the BBC threads explaining Seven's benefits. I love it. It does require me to have my work PC connected to the network at all times though. But it works quite well. Its much more stable than Cingular's XpressMail is (Xpress Mail is using the old Seven software). And it doesn't use SMS triggers. It's true push.
Search for "Blackberry Connect" and "Seven" on this forum for the threads in question.
Can you forward your email from your outlook on your desk to a pop mail account your tilt checks every 15 minutes?

That's a guaranteed smackdown from IT if discovered at most companies. Many of us are stuck with Blackberry for this reason.
(Or in my case, None since my company will not permit personally owned Blackberry devices.)
Hi all, it's been a while since I have posted lol, but I got a bit of a situation at our company that the pro's here might be able to help us out with.
We've got some serious trouble with with at least one person (possibly more) in our company, that has been fooling around with way more than the business programs that operate our CNC machines. It has destabilized the OS in our Waterjet, and we have also had to reformat a office PC as well. The way we know, is that only owners have Remote Desktop access set up on these machines, and we have seen other remote access names popping up now, around the same time as really bad system problems & bugs have been showing up. The one older Waterjet, if it is cashed to the point of a reformat, the whole machine will be scrap, as the the one of a kind coding between the MB and the internal PMAC card (controller card) will not be able to be replaced.
Also the company has a few HTC phones, Tytn, TytnII, and a Diamond that get charged throughout the day in areas that can not be secured from everyone. We believe they have been used to send confidential data and pictures of our company by someone else as well. As personal phones are not allowed.
My question is, out of ALL the junk & useless spam programs out there that do not do what they say. What is there that our company can reliably use and install on our company PC's & at least the HTC Diamond as well(as others will be upgraded) to covertly monitor and or record either on the host machine, or preferably a remote administers PC all that happens on these devices all running windows platform? The program must also be able to run in stealth mode and have no conflicts with anti virus programs. We are using Avast now, but considering the severity of this, the company would switch to a new solution that would work seamlessly and undetectable in order to weed out the perpetrator, and any future one's as well.
The Legal part of this for those wondering:
Other companies we do business with here have also had to combat this same problem. As long as it is the companies PC's & PC phones and on the premises, anything and everything that is carried out on these pieces of equipment is able to be monitored (without notice, as it is a voluntary act to place information on someone else's property on their premises). It also legally becomes the companies property and full rights of use in legal matters. At least in our country there is still one last shred of something that can help out the victims & not the criminal. Here we have to welcome in a home intruder and make sure he doesn't stub his toe on the door on the way out, or else we end up getting sued for damages, all the mean while he gets released with another line on his rap sheet!

Any professional solutions is greatly appreciated.
As of today i went to flash the energy leo rom (newest) and my avg kept telling me that the customruu program is a virus. Switched the customruu with ones from other roms and no luck. Does anyone know whats going on? I did notice there was a similiar problem going on in the HD2 threads.
Sometimes it happens. Just put it in ignore list or turn the avg off. It's not virus. Trust me.
I just got the same thing. I'm getting with with every CustomRUU.exe that I've used in the past. It's detecting it as a generic Trojan. I'm sure they are fine, and not infested with Trojans. I wonder if there is a mistake in AVG's latest virus definitions.
Same thing happened to me today... Hopefully I got rid of them all now but it was detected on quite a few of my customRUU files.
I tried ignoring and it just won't open it. Even closed down avg and no luck. Never had a problem like this before. I'm thinking also it might be something in the newest definitions cause yesterday I flashed my tp2 without a problem and today I'm getting this error.
I had to end up disabling AVG's Resident shield to load mine. +1 for annoying virus scanners! I still like AVG much better than any corporate type virus scanners.

No issues using Microsoft Security Essentials...I used AVG until it started detecting too many false positives, etc....

yup I use Microsoft. Recently switch to NOD32. Working really well. Avg is a little iffy lately
CustomRUU and HardSPL are both perfectly safe. The method of compression used on the CustomRUU exectuable, to reduce bandwidth, is also used by some malicious programs, and is detected by many virus scanners as a malicious program as a result. Most virus scanners have some kind of option to whitelist the application, report a false positive, or send the program to the antivirus company, all of which you should consider doing (if your antivirus supports it). CustomRUU is completely safe, so don't worry about it harming your computer
No problem here with Avast. Simple and light
They are completely safe and do not contain a trojan horse or anything like that. My security system doesn't even let the RUU run even if i click the allow button. I have to completely disable everything. Maybe that will work for you.
I ended up disabling everything as far as antivirus. I was able to add the rhodium folder I use to flash roms to the avg whitelist so maybe that couldve helped. Thanks everyone for all the help and input.
Issue Solved. Closed
is there such a thing as free pc antivirus? I have a couple of elderly friends, who really are on an extremely tight budget...and really can't afford to get anything for their pc...something reliable and such...
any ideas?
Avira or Avast
Avira you will have to search to remove nag screen
Avast you need to fill in a form to get key every 6 months

Definately recommend AVG free anti-virus software. Use it myself
Here's another one;
Microsoft Security Essentials
http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/?mkt=en-us
I've suggested/recommended it to a quite a few "budget-minded" folks and suprisingly ... it's been pretty reliable.
M2C's Worth,
http://free.grisoft.com - AVG Free. Install it for them and consider unchecking the 'linkscanner' option if they use an older computer, then you'll have antivirus with a small footprint that runs in the background and will only ever prompt them when absolutely necessary. AVG Free is my choice to go on elderly people's computers for this very reason (I deal with lots of 'em!).
Avast is the best out of all of them

i have used avg for years until i realized that i have never not had a virus while running avg. i recommend commodo free now. or if you want to register your email bit defender is the best.
I personally use Avast. It's pretty good, and completely free with the exception of registering each year. I used to use AVG free, but AVG is a huge resource hog, and made many of my computer nearly unusable at times. IMO Avast is the best.
really, thank you for all of your inputs.
MS Security Essentials and Avast are the best and are free.
U guys sure dis stuff is goood cz I use Norton n it'll expire pertty sooon.
Best Free Solution = Avast Antivirus + Comodo Firewall
I used to use AVG up until version 7. Since then it has become bloated and slow. Every since the switch I have been using Avast and it has been working very well. It has a great detection rate, right up there with the well known paid antivirus companies.
It's fairly light on memory and CPU usage. Works great even on a lowly Netbook. Here's an example. I've just synced about 400GB worth of files (showing as 260GB read and 130GB write). Took about 7 hours, AVG is showing of that time it only used 17 minutes. I have it set to scan every file when read and also when written. And I'm occasionally getting virus alert popups from some bad files I've downloaded. I think that's great performance. Memory usage during the backup was 60MB. Normally its about half that.
If you pair it with Comodo Firewall, you will have a nearly impregnable system. Comodo's Firewall is the best I've every used by far (very customizable). Their anti-virus effectiveness is still below AVG, Avast, and the big boys. My Comodo with tons of custom rules and highest security settings only uses 10MB of RAM. In the past 7 hours it has only used 40 seconds of CPU time and I've been surfing and download nearly the whole time.
Avast is the only free one I've ever used, seemed fine. Although I haven't installed in since I installed 7, I don't really need as I just use that machine as a media server, everything is Mac OS/Linux
