Completed ROM upgrades, now ?s

Okay. I completed the following steps on my new Cingular 8125
1. Used Loki .2b to do CID and unlock - Don;t have another SIM to test but seemed to work
2. INstalled Cingular_RUU_Wizard_AKU2.3_Custom_RNG_THM_A2DP_TEST
3. Installed the 2.25 radio from kypher (sp) update.
Everything seems to work great and response times seem stellar so far but I do have a few questions...
A. When I go into Remove programs I see the following programs
FdcSoft PPC ContactsMgr
ammar Wireless Today Plugin
Summ Summ
What are these, what are they for and can they be deleted since I don't seem to find matching entries in programs for them?
B. Under Programs there are three called Clock200 240 and 252. I am guessing these are overclockers but clicking on them does not seem to do anything. How do these work?
C. Should I delete the cab file I x-fered over for the Loki unlock?
D. While some of the sound files that came on the ROM are cool, I would like to get rid of most of them. How do I do this?
General questions
Is there a profiles setting where for example I can choose a sleep profile so that the phone rings but e-mails don't do anything or is this a 3rd party app deal?
Has anyone ever had issues with having two different IP addresses for your exchange server? It seems that when I put in the IP address into Active Sync that I use to get Outlook Web my phone connects fine when out and around but when using USB errors out. If I put in the exchange server name my IT guy gave me I get the opposite. He is kind of helpless and clueless so any help here owuld be greatly appreciated.

I can help a little, The wireless today plugin is the one that appears on the today screen showing wifi on off and bluetooth on and off. The clocks are overclockers and they dont show anything happening but it does overclock your phone. Sorry I can answer the rest but hopefully what I have said helps some.

Hey every bit helps, thanks!

FdcSoft PPC ContactMgr is a replacement on the contacts of the phone - less buggy than the stock one, and no - don't remove it.
Summ Summ - is the alternative task manager that you see in programs. If you wish, delete that one. Personally I like it, because when you close it, it actually closes.

They are overclockers, and yes they do work, but generally there's an omap that you run in conjunction with other programs. There's an omap.exe file that you can re-do on shortcuts that will have a manual clock setting on simply just the program itself, but I'd find the thread that discusses omap overclocking.

Not sure you can delete some of them, because they're taking up ROM space, but not other memory. Check windows\ringers and see if they're in there and deletable.

Can't really say I can help with this one, but from my experience with the phone, there's nothing in it that has different profiles other than just ring, vibrate, and sleep. Try looking for some third party aps.

Hope some of this helped.

THanks a bunch Brian....
I have noticed a few things.. I seem to be getting the error where the time zone drifts. In my case it tries to put me in Indiana. Was there an easy/common fix for this.
Also, it seems to not hold a wifi signal very well anymore. Is this the problem you were experiencing. I installed Wififofum2 but did not get much time to play with it, but in the time I did could not get it to pick up a network at all.

I'm having wifi issues as well with a belkin pre-n, and my srx router doesn't hold its session and ip info.
The fix has been that summiter release a test2 rom, which I'm about to flash my unit with. There is also discussion of trying to get a seperate thread on radio roms which i believe deals with wifi as well, and you don't have to re-flash your entire os just to get a new radio rom.
Also, here are the images you may be interested in:

Thanks again Brian

no problem man. as I type this message from the fresh test2 rom that summiter updated the gsm radio with, I'm finding that it is staying connected to my srx, and on the middle performance setting. what I am also noticing is my reception here in my room, dear god, I use to get to bars being lucky, but now man, jesus, full bars, its amazing. I do notice the reception does jump up and down a lot more but that's fine with me. overall the radio version in test2 seems to rock my sox. we'll see if it holds out for this really long post.
well scratch that on the wifi problem, had to reconnect to my router again... ugh, but better reception for cellular!

I will have to disagree with that. The PPCContactMgr caused scrolling problems with my contacts, and I wasn't the only one this happened to. For example, if you hold down the D-Pad in while in contacts, it scrolls the the alphabet in very large letters allowing you to stop easily at a certain letter. This program screwed that up for me. It worked OK if I just scrolled through a few letters, like to "D", but if I scrolled all the way to "T" for example, then selected a name, it would throw me back at a random name much earlier in the list.
Removing this program fixed the problem.
The only thing this program really gives you is the ability to "select all contacts", if you wanted to delete them. It's not worth the problems. I'd remove it.

WorldCard Mobile

I've had HTC Kaiser rom on my phone for almost 9 months now, and I just now noticed the WorldCard Mobile program. I've been evaluating it, and it seems to work fairly well at recognizing the text and putting the information in the proper categories. What I can't get it to do is export that info to my contacts. I've read a few threads on it here at XDA, and some are saying it has to be registered, but I don't see any where to register it within the program. Reading up on the help section talks about [Export to Contact], but it only has "Export" and it doesn't give me an option on where to export. Is this an evaluation only version that came with the rom? Or is it full function and I just don't know what I'm doing?

It does work pretty well. After I take a snap shot of a card and go to exit the program it asks if I want to save as a contact. Mine isn't registered. You may want to download it and reinstall.

I have attached the user manual for worldcard mobile, sounds like you did not have it. Registration, usage and other features are described in detail and should resolve your query.
What i got along with the phone was a 30 day trial...

Thanks for the help file, but that is pretty much the same as is on the phone now, minus a few pictures. It does show what happens when you click on 'export' and mine does not do that. Clicking export will take me back to it's start screen. Clicking the 'about' icon doesn't give me an option to register, it gives me a normal 'about' screen that appears to be a registered version.
I have the install file from from PenPower, I will give that a try tonight.

Work'n now
I reinstalled the program and it is working now.

Skyfire Beta 2

So... I signed up for the Beta2 of Skyfire at least 4 or 5 months ago and five minutes ago I got a link with my copy of it. I registered my account and installed the cab to discover an awesome full-fledged browser. Has anyone else received the text message for their copy? When starting up Skyfire it says version 0.61.0.4721. Is this Beta 2? Is the version other people have?
-Xidium

thats the one, pretty slick huh

Mine always says that it cannot find the internet. Any inkling as to what it may be going on? I have it downloaded twice so far.

I got mine a couple of days ago, and I really like it.

Hmmm........

Curious, did you follow the instructions from the original thread below or from one of the many duplicate threads that made the .cab itself available?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=414383&highlight=skyfire
I ask because the .cab by itself was never intended to work alone as it needs to be registered via phone # and personal info, which acts as your login to use the program. There may be hacks out there(?), but I am not inclined to do legwork to find them, if they do exist that is.

I finally got my text last night.
Downloaded it immediately and love it.
Then, late last night and early this morning, network issues.
Now, it works like a champ again.
maybe there was a problem with the proprietary skyfire servers or something.

I went through all the steps described in your url, used the original cnet100 code and when that did not work I used a bGenius code from another site, I had the cab downloaded both ties, activated, program installed, and then nothing. It cannot find the internet. I have IE, Opera 8.5 and Oopera mini all working very well, no problem with my net connections.

I had the same issue a while back. In my case I disabled the ATT Proxy for the MEdia Net connection and then all worked fine.

How did you do that?

I went to their website and followed all the FAQ instructions regarding MediaNet and Proxy etc., it seesm that I have an old version (5.something) I need to get a 6.something version....still trying.

many thanks!

Just downloaded it and have putzing around with it.
things i like: renders pages much like my desktops. Loads pages fairly quickly. Relatively small memory footprint
Things I'm iffy on: chunky scrolling (as opposed to NetFront or Iris), text entry into a separate text box seems redundant to me...and probably some other stuff.
This is running on a stock ATT rom, minus the bloatware. It seems fairly stable.
When on my wifi connection, its quite nice.

Yea I was about to ask about the "chunky scrolling". I've noticed that too. Opera 9.5 isn't like that at all. I was wondering if it was the software or if the new kaiser d3d beta drivers or the omnia drivers helped this at all... I haven't had any of the connection issues that others have had and I do like the small 1.5mb or so space it takes to install compared to ~8mb for Opera.

why am i not getting text messages from skyfire.
i have a valid beta code.

I just downloaded mine, but I haven't had time to play with it yet.

Hmmm I havent gotten any links to download it...... It tells me I have to wait until the beta is released for beta testing? hmmmmm I wonder what I did wrong

I got my text for Beta 2 also. It's definitely much better than Opera and IE, but still no where near the iPhone's Safari browser. I switch between my iPhone and Tilt every couple days and when it comes to browsing Safari is pretty damn good. Skyfire is definitely a step in the right direction.

I've been using this for a week now and have noticed a few things.
1. random freezing. While either loading or on a page, my version will just hang and the Tilt will not respond to anything but a reboot...which, in my case, sucks due to that infernal GoodLink lock app.
2 since this is server based, sometimes I get REALLLY sluggish performance. When rendering a simple text based page (say...like craigslist) the screen redraws are horribly slow and scrolling thru a page brings up the checkerboard pattern until it gets the screen redraw info.
3 my settings for some reason or other...do not stick. For example, I will have smart fit enabled in my default view settings. When I load a page the text does not flow correctly, and I have to enable smart fit again.
4 Load up times: horribly inconsistant. Somedays its quick and zippy and blows other browsers out of the water. Other times...it just wont launch.
Having said that: I realize that this is a beta and is bound to be far from perfect. But while the concept is great, the execution leaves a bit to be desired, especially the network connectivity issues for me.
I also have NetFront (LOVE IT) and the Iris browsers as well as the stock OEM Internet Explorer. I want to like Skyfire, but its just too damn iffy right now, whereas my NetFront and Iris are pretty decent.
This is on a stock Win6 OEM ROM (minus the bloatware)

Is there a Net Front CAB that we can download?

Total Newbie to XDA - help with a few of problems please!!

Hi Guys
Im a total Newbie to XDA's... Just got the XDA Ignito, within minutes of reading some post on this site I followed the instructions and flashed my ROM, what a difference! o2's Rom is sh*te!!
Anyway just having a few problems that may be so simple for you guys but yet so annoying for me.
1. Contacts are displayed "Surname, Firstname" how can I change my contacts to display "Firstname, Surname" ??
2. When on the net via Opera, and go on a video site like metacafe... the videos do not display? do I need to install any plug ins? the built in youtube works fine.
3. I have installed tomtom, but when I make a phone call, then end the call tomtom appears.... Ive tested a phone call without it to my ear and this doesnt happen, I can only think that my ear is pressing start and selecting tomtom from the quick launch at the top.... anyway to stop this? without holding away from my ear
Any advice is most appreciated
Many Thanks
Adam

1 - i would like to know where that option is too, most my contacts i have manually told to display like that.
2 - Opera / all the mobile browsers i think (inc IE and safari) dont have a flash pluggin. So any web based movie sites using some flash video player wont work. Thus reason for standalone uTube app
3 - is tomtom the only app which has got launched, seems a bit odd if it's selecting only that app from the start menu. My phone's display goes into standy during phone calls, so buttons dont seem to get pressed. Also using Sensorlock too.

to 1.: When you edit an Contact (Outlook) at the 6th Position, there must be a line "Save as" - when you click on it, a Pull-Down appears, where you can choose the other appearence with swapped Surname and forename.

1 - in each contact, there is a field 'File as' where you can select whether to display last. first, or first, last. There's no option that i know of to do all of them simultaneously.
2 - Spot on about the flashplugin. Although i believe that flashlite 3 is supposed to work with FLV vidoes, but don't quote me on that....i don;t even know if it's been released for winmo yet.
3 - this should only happen if you have TomTom running in the background instead of totally shut down. when you've finished with TomTom, make sure you close it properly.

Thanks for all your responses.
In regards to the file as, i was refering to all my contacts on my sim card. Surely there is an option somewhere to change the view of contacts...??
Found out how to shut tomtom down properly, will test it shortly.
Thanks

There's a faster way to rearrange your contacts...
Here you go.

NoWorthWhile
Thanks for that, but unfortunately it didnt work... i put it in the storage, then run it from programs... selected the way i wanted them displayed, clicked change.. looks like its going to do it then nothing happens.
Any ideas?

Save some Christmas $$$ Barcode Scanning [App]

Initially accidently posted this in the Diamond forum...
Happy Holidays.
After reading a post here or in another forum I stumbled across a program called BARCORAMA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368798
Its a program that lets you scan UPC barcodes with your camera and then goes out to the internet to let you find the lowest price online for that item...already saved me quite a bit...and made shopping feel sortof fun for once...fealt like a spy..LOL
Works Awesome on my touch Pro...strangely seems to work better when I zoom to 2x and take the picture than when im in close

looks sweet will try it out in 30 mins @ lunch time!!!

I got the app working great on a touch pro.
Except I changed the default to pop open skyfire for the browser, and also piped it into Google shopping search engine, rather than just google. B/c in shopping it already shows the prices and places to buy.
Neat app! Thanks. Minor suggestion, offer the ability to put a path for the images and / or a way to name it when you shoot the UPC.

What URL did you use to make it use Google Shopping search engine?

open the app, go into settings and hit the right arrow until you see the google address. then replace the word "search" with "products"

LOL...no, sorry for the misunder standing. I was trying to add credability to the other guys post of pointing it to google shop instead of just google. I wanted to just put +1 as in I am also wanting this, but you have to have 10 characters to make a post.

mine is not working everything i scan says no barcode i have the pro and question what is it suppose 2 say for program 2 run

does anybody have an idea of why its not working

Zoom in to 2.0 on the camera and try again.

still not working do i have 2 upgrade the rom 2 use this program

is there a cab file for this? or how do install this to my phone? just use sync and drag and drop it into my program files??

yeah I found Standing further away from the barcode and doing a 2.0 Zoom really helped...I make the barcode fill the screen and make sure its sharply focused before taking the picture...
...In terms of how to install...i created a folder called Shopping in my Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder and dropped the EXE file in there...You will then see the folder in your Windows/Programs area....i put it in its own folder because it saves each barcode where the program is installed and i didnt want them in my programs menu.

Yeahh....I found a new way to kill time and kill my battery...lol
I've run out of things to scan around the house.
I now know the best prices of everything in my work place...lol
I even depressed a few when I showed them better prices......
Walmart thinks I'm a spy...lol....had to turn of the sounds while taking pictures of barcodes....Security was confused too.....
This really is an achievement! Thanks to the creator of Barcorama.....

To change to shopping in google
The above poster is right, just change search, in the http string to product and that's it. Then it shows you a listing of prices and locations, pretty slick.
As for the person not getting it to work, it won't work if you're megapixels is set to 3MP, I dropped mine down to 1MP and that did it for me.
James

More things to scan
Hey noellenchris, don't forget all your cd's and coffee table books, or IT books....
I even scanned a can of Progresso soup and it found it. Crazy.

Keep your phone upright when you take the picture. I found if I turned the phone sideways and took the picture, it would not find the barcode. Keep the phone straight up and down when you take the pic.

I changed my camera to take a picture on Touch instead of Touch and Press. Right after it autofocuses, it'll take the picture. Getting much better results this way since when I would use Touch and Press, when I would press to take the picture, my hand would move.
