I am new to the mobile world and was noticing alot of threads on fixs/upgrades which hacks to the registry are needed....I know how to get into the Windows reg but have no idea how to on my Cingular 8215.
Is a seperate program needed or can I do it within Active Syncand my computer at home??
Also, I have heard of issues with Cingular's model of the 8125...is this true and what fixs/hacks are recommended?
Any help would be great...still trying to decide if I should go back to my razr phone and not use a PDA phone or not!
look for a program called total commander or resco file explorer. both will give you access to the registry. as for tweaks or hacks, do a search...lot's of good stuff out there.
These programs you mentioned are programs to be installed on 8125 or on my computer...I am guessing on the PDA Phone?

If you had the certs cab installed when you ran the cab itself all should be OK, if not, unistall and get the sdkcerts.cab from the sticky at the top of this forum. If you are trying to run a digitally signed stream (the ones you have to subscribe to) you may also get this type of error.
I grabbed sdkcerts.cab from duttys cab repository site
uninstalled the cab for streaming media.
rebooted
installed sdkcerts
copied zip files to windows directory for streaming media
copied lnk file to windows start menu programs
installed cab for streaming media
still doesnt work.
used this post for the files
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=288857
Still getting message that not signed or missing files.
The weird part is that I dont see anything in "remove programs" for sdk certs.
No you wont, the cab only changes reg entires (basic write to reg cab) but won't hurt anything.
Hmm, I see this a few times and (please don't shout at me cause loads of others do!) it almost seems that there are not only various carrier versions of firmware out there (we all know that) but also there maybe different version of hardware out as if HTC have sold earlier version to carriers in bulk AND also quickly upgraded their own to cover HW faults!!
(anyone please note I am not a HTC lacky!!! I like to see evidence first!!)
Soz, bit of a rant there...
It does start to look as if carrier tags are embedded in the hardware/firmware. We have seen this with Tom Tom not working on some revision ROM's and also on carrier devices flashed with later 'cooked ROM's.
Needs further investigation but I am sure it will happen here.
We need a hardware guy to have various devices and see if any carrirer units have hidden CMOS chips holding carrier info.

I want to use BB connect to get my email/etc pushed to my Kaiser. I set it up fine, but got a call from TechSupport saying only the BB 8700c is allowed after it reported back to them that I was using a Kaiser.
Anyone know a way to fake out the BB push server to make it think I am using a 8700c and not the Kaiser?
Thanks!~
That's nonsense. I'm using a Tilt on the Blackberry Enterprise Server. Maybe the aren't aware that the Tilt has BB service?
Anyway, try downloading the BB connect desktop software. From there you can configure your device automatically to connect.
that's not the issue.
To the OP,
do you have BlackBerry Connect? Or BlackBerry Connect with PDA Connect?
Because if you just have Blackberry Connect, AT&T's Policies say that you must have the PDA Connect and Blackberry Connect package to use the blackberry on a non RIM device. I know it's stupid. I know just using Blackberry Connect will work ( I'm doing it too ). But it's AT&T's policies.
Also, re-check your OLAM and see if they removed or added any feature after calling you. Sometimes the system will red-flag and attach the pda connect feature. If you got a call just by using it, not by calling, then your account was most likely flagged by the system.
I think he has BB Connect and it works fine for him, but his corp is telling him to use only the corp issued BB 8700c.
I'd like to figure this out as well.
Even if you manage to "cloak" your device now, I'm pretty sure your IMEI gets sent along with the rest of your device information.
If you suddenly start using a "Blackberry 8700c" with the same IMEI as your Kaiser, they may smell a rat (of course, they may never notice).
I have a similar issue. I cant use 3 live stream because my device is identyfied as a tytn and not as a nokia crap phone... anyone had luck in changing id in explorer?
I think there's a reason if your corp admin only allow genuine Blackberry devices.
Ie. even if you get the Blackberry connect, your Kaiser won't be able to remotely wipe itself in case you loose it ...
(so that make perfect sense to me)

Yes, I created a cab file to identify my phone as an N95 so that I could use Vodafone Live. Someone on the Modaco forum mentioned that it also worked for "3", though I can't confirm that myself.
Here's a copy. You can install it to identify the phone as an N95, and uninstall it to go back to normal...
Should also mention that for Vodafone Live, you have to be connected via the "Contract WAP" connection. Vodafone Live wont let you in if you're connected with the "Contract Internet" connection, I have no idea whether "3" do something similar though?

Hey
Great - THX. I will subscribe to 3tv next week and see if this fine piece make it all the way. Will be back with experience as this could be quite a solution for all 3 Mobile users...
Interesting sub69...I was wondering myself if this is possible. Do you know how people could identify their PDA's as other phone models so as to try and by-pass operator service restrictions? I'm hoping to identify my Kaiser as either a Sony Ericsson K790 or LG TU720 Shine.

First you have to find the user agent string for the device you want your Kaiser to be identified as (I have an N95, so I used it to go to www.useragentstring.com).
Then you need to hex edit your Kaiser's "browser.dll" file (which you'll find in the \Windows folder). You need to search within "browser.dll" for the Kaiser's original user agent string, and then overwrite it with the one of your choice.
Edit the regirsty at: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Internet Explorer\User Agent] so that that shows the new string too.
Save the new "browser.dll" file to \Windows (overwriting the old one) and soft reset. Then when you go to www.useragentstring.com, you should see that your Kaiser is identifying itself as something else.
If you want to go back to normal, you can delete the new "browser.dll" from \Windows, and the original one will handily reappear, as it's stored in the ROM.

Thanks sub69! I'll give it a shot...I'm trying to gain access to some of my carrier's services that they don't off to WM devices.
Hello all,
I installed the CAB on my Kaiser and it works great. Thanks for this post. I have T-Mobile Mobile TV in the Netherlands.
I first called the helpdesk and they told me my phone is not compatible with the service.........
This is the links to the T-Mobile Mobile TV Website:
http://t-mobile.nob.nl
[Edit]
I tested to open the link directly without the CAB installed and with the default User Agent String and it works fine.
Hi,
Is it possible for some one to make a cab file that would identify my Kaiser WM6.1 as the 3 Skypephone or INQ handset?
Thanks
There is a Wiki here, maybe somebody update it if applicable.
An updated list of mobile User-Agents
great cab file. it actually wotks with coreplayer.
I recently upgraded my Acrobat Reader without uninstalling the former version. Everything worked fine. Then I uninstalled the old version and it seems to have taken the file association for PDFs along with it. While looking for a solution, I found a lot of complicated schemes to modify the registry (no thanks), install a tweak program and do it from there (better, but why complicate things), etc. But it was actually quite simple. So for anyone who's in a similar predicament...
Here's how to set a file association in WM 6.1:
1. Open File Explorer and find a file of the type you want to associate to an app.
2. Hold down the stylus on the file name for a couple seconds (til you get the context menu) and choose "Open with program..."
3. Choose a program from the list on the top part of the resulting window, then check the box labeled "Associate selected Program with this file type."
4. Hit Open.
5. You may get a message to overwrite current association if there was a previous app associated with the file type, chances are you'll want to go ahead and overwrite so it will remember the association you prefer.
You're done!
This works great if you want to open some multimedia files with one program and others with a different program. For instance, I couldn't get Media Player to open my .AVI files, but it was the default association, now I set .AVIs to TCPMP and all is working great! ( I know TCPMP is one of the few programs that lets you set the association, this is just an example - and it was actually easier doing it as described above!)
That menu option's not there
I've got 6.1, but "open with program" is not a choice that pops up. I looked under properties, and it's not there either. Are you using a 3rd party file explorer?
You need File Explorer Extension, here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421723&highlight=file+explorer
Nice!
Thanks for the tip!
I have a several different media players, and this is just what I needed to choose which program opens what file type.
Thanks again!
Thanks guys, really good software that complement very well the unfinished software of Microsoft..
Great for removing the "DocsToGo" association!
I was really getting sick of being unable to open email attachments because I didn't choose to shell out for the DocsToGo bloatware on my AT&T Fuze. Great fix!
Thanks!!!!

Thanks for the software but there is a problem
The file explorer is amazing. But I am facing a problem. I have an HTC Touch 3G running windows mobile 6.1. When I use this file explorer to change the file association, it successfully changes. However, the icon of the program it is associated with doesn't appear on the left of the file name. Only the windows icon appears to the left of the file name. However whenever I click on the file, it does open with the required software/player. But because the icon of the file type it is associated with does not display, it becomes slightly confusing for me to make out with which software will it open.
Thanking you in anticipation for the help!!
thanks a lot
FExplorer ext is a gr8 tool. It solved my file association problem for .jpg files.
Thank a lot again.
I tried to install FEE on my WM6.1 smartphone (non touchscreen) but it gives an error and won't install saying it's not designed for my device.
Has anyone found a way to install it, or found a similar free product to change file extensions?

There's any way to Vito SMS chat instead default WM app for SMS managemment ?
Thank you
very very thnx to you
still not the correct icons ?
same as @sahilhshah.
Changing the file associations in either described way is working fine. But the icons are still the windows system icons.
Interestingly viewing the icons from the files which are not corrected to the specific program icon, in the taskmanager, I can see the right icons.
Any ideas?
Using Total Commander for Pocket PC u can change file association and file icon as well, it will be coresponding to specified program. Just give it a try
(That's my firsth post on this great forum )
Hi people.
Could you help me? I tried to change the file association, as explained, but my phone isn't touch screen (is a Samsung Jack) and the File Explorer Extension doesn't work.
Someone know a way for change the file association on Win 6.1?
I lost the association when try Foxit pdf reader. Now I have to open the Adobe PDF fist and open the file by the program (I already uninstall the Foxit).
Thanks in advanced.

Hi guys,
For those with time changing / switching / problem using Garmin mobile XT, here is a nice workaround.
Evolving from Garmin iQue to Mobile XT was never having my phone clock on time again. Every time I used XT I had to check if my phone clock and date was ok.
I was tired of trying every single Garming XT version with diferents Kaiser ROM's and nothing was solved. So I developed a tiny .net console application that wraps Garmin execution and monitors time changing, restoring original time in case of change.
My TyTnII is running WM 6.1
Rom: Hyperdragon III
Radio: 1.65.24.36
3.sj.hd.03
25.94.40.06h
Garmin XT Version 5.00.20wp
Installation and use:
Compact Framework 3.5 may be needed if it is not installed.
Download the attached file.
Copy all 3 files from zip in any directory.
i.e. "\Storage Card\Program Files\GarminXTClockFix\"
This app need the location of your "Que.exe" file as a parameter. So you may modify the original "Garmin Mobile XT.lnk" in your "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs" folder to target GarminXTClockFix.exe. Or you can create another one.
i.e. 30#"\Storage Card\Program Files\GarminXTClockFix\GarminXTClockFix.exe" \Garmin\Que.exe
(I included my .lnk file too, just in case)
From now on, you have to run Garmin from the modified shortcut
And that's all, I know that this is not THE final solution, but I hope it can be useful just as it was for me.
Please feel free of giving some comments here and any kind of feedback would be appreciated.
Cheers.
Diego
UPDATE: deleted mediafire link and uploaded an attached file.
Thanks
Hi Diego,
Thank you for your post, It’s has been very helpful. I hope you can post other solution.

I have determined that the time change problem occurs if GarminXT does not quickly get satellite lock. Apparently there is an undocumented feature that sets the device time from the GPS signal, but if it does not get a lock, it sets it to midnight GMT.
My solution is to prime the GPS with the BAF GPS Toggle today plugin before starting GarminXT.

Fixed!!
I fixed mine!!!!
Just went into Start>Settings>Personal Tab>Phone>Time Zones Tab, and Un-Checked the "Auto change time zone and clock" box.
There is no problem for me because in my country (Costa Rica) we don't have time change due to change of season, it's always the same.
I don't know why MS put this option there. I think that the place it corresponds is in Time Settings or Regional Settings, but in Phone Options???
Still don't know why Garmin XT is the only one program that does this thing.
No more clock/date changes for me!!!
I hope this can solve the problem of many of you, since there isn't a reasonable solution yet.

Unluckily my clock settings were the first things that I've tested, with no solution for me.
I've just updated my solution, with a minor fix regarding problems with time zones like Caracas -4.30 or Teheran +3.30
Hi Diego!
I tried your method but I'm not able to run it. For sure I'm doing something wrong.
My phone is an iPAQ 910c, Windows 6.1 in Spanish w/ CF 3.5 Installed.
I moved the .lnk file you attached in the zip into Start Menu/Programs and tried to run it with no success.
Also, the name of the exe from Garmin is QuePPC.exe.
If you can please explain me the following step you added, will be highly appreciated, since I'm not sure on what to do here
"This app need the location of your "Que.exe" file as a parameter. So you may modify the original "Garmin Mobile XT.lnk" in your "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs" folder to target GarminXTClockFix.exe. Or you can create another one.

Hi there, maybe we have different Garmin XT version, but I think it wont be any problem.
This little program needs as a parameter the location for your QuePPC.exe
So, before trying to run the "GarminXTClockFix.exe" you have to modify the .lnk that you've copied.
Tell me where you copied the GarminXTClockFix.exe and the full path of your QuePPC.exe so I can assist you.
Hi! The version I have is 5.00.20wp, which I believe is the latest.
The path I placed your software is inside of the Garmin folder:
\\\Garmin\
I'm sorry for misleading you. I was looking previously at the files in the SD card, used for the installation. The software is installed in the phone itself, not the SD. In there, I found the Que.exe file. That queppc.exe I mentioned can also be used to execute the program from the SD.
The Garmin folder includes Que.exe and Garmin Mobile XT.exe. Both also execute the software.
Now I got this error when running GarminXTClockFix.exe, the phone shows this 4-color symbol meaning it's processing something but then just disappears executing nothing.
Any idea on what could be wrong?
Thanks in advance for your time!
Hi Diego! Would you please tell me how to use it? I'm still struggling with it...
Thanks a lot!

Hi! sorry for the late reply, I was on holidays
First of all, I have to mention that this partial solution is not working 100% properly for me. Meaning that my kaiser system clock is still changing from time to time Next weekend Im gonna give a try the latest WinMo 6.5.
Saying that, the error that you mention is simply because you are trying to run a 2nd instance of Garmin XT, when that happens try looking in your active application manager (ie task manager lite) and "bring to front" the existing garmin xt instance of the software.
But if you weren´t able to run at first time, you may check your .lnk file where is looking for your garmin original .exe file.
If you are still having problems, attach here the .lnk file that you are using so I can help you solving this.
