Those of you with a 750 on the ATT/Cingular network with the new WM6 please post your experiences with 3rd party software (what works, what doesn't).
After reading the current WM6 threads it is obvious that there is a big difference on how well WM6 works across the different carriers and brandings. So I would like to limit this thread to ATT/Cingular (hopefully others will start threads for different carriers). I think the biggest barrier to most of us in upgrading is whether the hundreds of dollars of 3rd party software we had on WM5 will still work on WM6.
I am especially interested to see people's reviews on spb apps, wizbar, smallmenu, Handy Switcher, MemMaid, Mortscript, TomTom 6, SlingPlayer, Goodlink/GMM, AEbutton Plus or other button mappers.

Those of you that are getting TomTom6 to work, what kind of GPS receiver do you have? And is it connecting each time you start TT6?

i'm using a Holux GPSlim 240 - TT6 works perfectly, it connects each time I start and navigates fine.
I cannot seem to get my "ebay-purchased" bluetooth GPS receiver to work with TT6 anymore. It worked fine when it was still on WM5 but even though i CAN connect to the GPS receiver when adding it manually, TT6 doesn't recognise it whatsoever.
i MIGHT have forgotten to do some settings, so if someone else does have a bluetooth GPS receiver please help me out! i need to navigate a lot to get to client's offices for my work and i cannot live without TT6!!
Just to make sure, did you set the 'outgoing port' in the bluetooth settings to match what TT6 uses?
Blackberry Connect 4 on WM6 rom ?
Hi
Has anyone had any success with Blackberry Connect 4 on the WM6 Rom ? I was trying over and over unsuccessfully on my 750c and I had the same symptoms as on WM5: Network Available -> Suspended by user, no IP address, no PIN (shows Pending)
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks,
HC

yes i have... i dont remember this... but do i need to check the Serial Port service in the Partnership Settings? and do i need to set up anything in the External GPS (Start -> Settings -> External GPS) for it to work?
i got a feeling i got my TT6 to work with my GPS by fluke when i was using WM5 which is why i'm having trouble now... i will try again tonight and see how it goes. Thanks!
Im very new to MS Mobile. Ive been using Symbian since the Sony Ericsson P800 and as recent as the M600i. I recently gladly switched over to MS Mobile and the learning curve is a little curvy.
Where are all the wonderful applications that I can install? How do I know if it works on the TyTN II? Obviously if the requirements specify WM 6.0 Pro, then its gonna work, but what about screen type? SVGA vs VGA?
- Will WM 6.0 (non-professional) or WM 5.0 s/w work on the Kaiser?
- What does the Sym button do? Meaning Fn + Sym on keyboard do?
- Is there no way to copy paste using the keyboard? I am able to highlight text using the shift and directional arrow keys, no way to copy paste? Like CTRL+C/V/X ?
- A better browser? IE doesnt allow tabs like firefox which is really inconvenient. I had Opera on my Symbian OS phones and it worked great!
- When I make an appointment or meeting in Calendar, I want an alarm to go off sometimes an hour before the appointment, sometimes 2 hours, some times 3. How do I set the alarm time within calendar?
The "wonderful applications" are all over the place. Try Handango first. Or look on here and modaco for free apps.
1) WM6 Pro and WM5 will work (Professional means for touchscreen pda). WM (classic etc) Smartphone editions wont work
2) Sym - opens the onscreen symbol keyboard so you can type weird aqnd wonderful characters
3) Never tried it
4) Download Opera for WM 8.65 then
5) Just set the reminder time when you create the new appointment.
Where are all the wonderful applications that I can install?
--> e.g. pocketgear.com, handago.com and others
How do I know if it works on the TyTN II?
--> tytn2 has wm6 os, so 99.9% of everything for wm5 and wm6 will work (also some apps for wm02, wm03)
Obviously if the requirements specify WM 6.0 Pro, then its gonna work, but what about screen type? SVGA vs VGA?
--> 99.9% apps/games are for qvga and tytn2 has qvga, so no problem
Will WM 6.0 (non-professional) or WM 5.0 s/w work on the Kaiser?
--> there is no wm5 for tytn2 now, not sure why it has to be when tytn2 is running the newest os now
What does the Sym button do? Meaning Fn + Sym on keyboard do?
--> input for special charactes (ěščř...)
Is there no way to copy paste using the keyboard? I am able to highlight text using the shift and directional arrow keys, no way to copy paste? Like CTRL+C/V/X ?
--> it is possible to use copy/paste, ctrl+c/v/x
A better browser? IE doesnt allow tabs like firefox which is really inconvenient. I had Opera on my Symbian OS phones and it worked great!
--> opera, and some others also for tytn2
When I make an appointment or meeting in Calendar, I want an alarm to go off sometimes an hour before the appointment, sometimes 2 hours, some times 3. How do I set the alarm time within calendar?[/QUOTE]
--> also possible

There is no CTRL-Button on the Keyboard - This was the question ...
But here is the answer, searching for "CTRL" would have found:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332072&highlight=ctrl
ehm, there is no CTRL but CTL button which has the same function as CTRL (default keyboard - see screenshot). ctrl+cvx is possible

On the physical keyboard not the touch screen keyboard.
patr!k,unwired4,
Let me get this straight, I can download any software for the TyTNII as long as it is wm6 pro or wm5 pro. So it must be pro version of 5 or 6 to be compatible.
WM6 Pro and WM5 will work (Professional means for touchscreen pda). WM (classic etc) Smartphone editions wont work
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So wm6 pro will work, ok great. Im confused about the latter part, will wm5 or wm pro work on TyTN II?
look, almost 99.9% of software will works- do not worry about it. developers do not make differences between wm6 pro or classic, it is just wm6. the same it is with wm5, wm02 and wm03
WM 6 Pro = Windows Mobile 6 device with a touch screen.
WM 6 Standard = a device without a touch screen (like the Moto Q).
In WM 5 parlance, it's "WM 5" and "WM 5 Smartphone edition."
So you'll want apps that are for WM5/6 that support touch screens when you boil it all down. Don't get ones that list compatabilitiy with the Q...
Hi to all Kaiser, Tilt and Tytn-II user.
I just replaced my Hermes with Tytn-II. My question is how can I separate the SMS/MMS account like my previous Hermes?
Any help, guides, instruction are greatly appreciated.

Hy Guys,
I used a GPS Software for Smartphone name NAVIGON Mob. Nav. 6.5 on my HTC S620 => it works without problems
This GPS Software is ok with HTC S710 but not yet with S730 (as this device is brand new)..
I've tryed the combination (HTCS730 - MN 6.5) : it works for fast research (proximities like gas pump or restaurant) but its goes down with classical researchs (too long) => the program stop !
My problem is with memory on this device HTC S730
I've maximum 17 000 to 18 000 Kb free at the best moments.. and I've installed no other software..
I've done a advanced test of my RAM thats shows that some files (hidden files) took much memory.. (like video telephony, listening ports) but I don't want to use it.. (I would prefer to hide them in order to make my GPS soft work )
So who can tell me how to dismantle some WM6 files/process in order to win some KB for my GPS ?
Thanks in advance for your help

Hello again, another problem with the official HTC 6.1 Rom update ... IGO 8 does not work anymore ... I re-installed the whole software but the problem is the same : when I launch IGO 8, nothing happens ...
Does anyone else had this problem ?
i had this before with previous wm6.1 roms. you need to use kaisertweak to disable assisted gps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=370884
Thanks a lot for your answers ...
I had to disable A-GPS and the "HTC Home" on the today screen.
But it only works if after having disabled the "HTC Home" I soft reset my device.
That means I will not use IGO 8 anymore, and this is a big issue for me because that was my favorite GPS application.
use Ultimate Launcher...and activate HTC Home in the today plugin of UL...
Works fine...

Thanks for your answer. I will try it but I don't really like this kind of applications. I tried one of these "cube" applications, and I noticed that it was slowing down some other applications using the touch screen like "pencil box" for exemple.

OK, I tried : Ultimate Launcher does not affect the performances of the other applications, very good point.
IGO 8 works fine. But when I try to display the HTC HOME inside UL, IGO 8 does not work anymore ... So your solution does not work for me.
bizarre bizarre...
perhaps you have taskmanager bigbuttons installed?
perhaps you have sync kaiser and launch igo just after? try to perform softrestet before launch igo
I tried all of that, but still unsuccessfully ...
Try disabling the HTC Home music tab. That worked for me.
I had the same problem. Here are the fixes, choose which one suits you best (no need to use them all):
Disable HTC Home. Sometimes it's enoughto disable only some of its plugins (weather, music etc.). I like HTC home, though. This works, but i prefer other solutions.
Put a shortcut to iGo8 in your /Windows/StartUp folder. Pro: After you reset once - yuou can work with iGo8, close it, restart it etc. - no probs at all. Con: Every time you reset, iGo8 starts (so you lose a few seconds in life). This is what I use, and it works gr8.
Just heard that the June 2008 version of iGo8 works well with WM6.1 and HTC Home. My version is older. Didn't try this one yet.
Good luck!
latest patch of igo8 (24 june) version fixes the problem with htc 6.1 / home editions...
But i have 6.1 and TF2D Manila installed and iGO 8.3.2.xxxx and it works fine.
How come?
Tryed to install MSVC 1.6 on my Diamond and was frustrated that it wouldn't work...
so I played around and got it - even with bluetooth headset...
How I did it?
- Made a hard reset to clean up all my played settings...
- Installed Microsoft Voice Command DE PPC 1.60 for M2M.PPC420_StrongARM.CAB from anywhere in internal memory even with errors...
- got MSVC_US_PPC 1.6.19209.bengalih.CAB from anywhere and extracted
VOICECMD.015 to voicecmd.exe and 0VCBTHAG.013 to vcbthag.dll
- replaced that files in Diamonds \Programme\Voice Command
- Created a ShortCut of \Programme\Voice Command\VoiceCmd.exe to "Startmenue"
- Assigned Key1 to VoiceCmd
- set HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateWay -> SupportCLI to 1
- set HKLM\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand -> VoiceCmdEnable to 1
- Made a Softreset
- Paired My Bluetooth Device
and voila - everything works like a charme...
Tom
Is it possible to activate the hardware button (home) ?
Hi all,
No problem with the french MSVC 1.6 version
@Fabliv : by default, you can launch it with the Call button (long press)
but I think you could use tommat's trick (shortcut) to activate it with the Home button...
No - not even with spb, but U can use the phone button long pressed
I add that with the MSVC 1.6 standard version (not the extracted one), you don't have to do all these tweaks to make it works... just install the cab et voila !
even with the german version it wont work in standard...
seems that even with this trick you cannot activate the program with the button on the blutooth headset
you need to use the call button with a long push
i didn´t tweak anything, german version in a german rom works like a charme though, even with my jabra bluetooth when hardware button is set. Installation ended with an error message, dunno why...
I also have a original german rom but the recipe doesn't work
@tommatt:
When you say ...
Created a ShortCut of \Programme\Voice Command\VoiceCmd.exe to "Startmenue"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
... do you mean "create a shortcut of \Programme\Voice Command\VoiceCmd.exe in folder \windows\Autostart\?
Well I did that. I even install a german version of voice commander I bought for €29,90. I didn't get it from "anywhere"
The prog simply doesn't show up when I long press the phone button. When I manually start the \Programme\Voice Command\VoiceCmd.exe then for 5sec a symbol is shown in the menuebar. But then it disappears.
What is the workaround for this? Do I have to patch to a different rom?
CAUSE: I want to call my contacts by using the voice. The build in program is ****. Does HTC really expect me to assign voices to all my contacts?
Thanks for the help it works also with cable headset. Does anybody know how to ad the cable headset button "long press" for voice command?
Thanks,
Snappy
If Only I could find anywhere!!!
modify MSVC present in ROM to speak/listen to German lg
hi folks,
I run dutty's 2.3a MSVC release on my phone (WWE). Could anyone point out what must be changed in registry and copied to \windows dir on the diamond to make mscv speak and recognize germany language?
I got the installation cab from the german release here, but think it would also work this way rather than written in the first post what does not work for me, cos msvc (the current build like 19719) is part of my rom and NOT installed to program files but to \windows.
Thanks for your help
