I have all my old contacts from my previous phone in a VCF file and I was wondering if I would be able to transfer it to my knew tilt? Also how do I disable the internet on the tilt....I have wifi at work and home and I do not want it using it through the cell phone because I declined a data plan and just got unlimited texting...how do I keep it from accidently connecting to the internet and charging me data. Thank you for your time.
i dont know about contacts i had to do mine all over =/ nd saved them to microsoft outlook encase i lost them. but i know how to disable the internet. download KaiserTweak (search for it around this forum) nd there is an option to enable or disable internet on the tilt. theres also a lot of other stuff too.
What format does windows mobile save its contacts as? I have the ones from my sanyo as VCF files. Also I downloaded and installed that program you spoke of, ran it and saw a bunch of settings but nothing that clearly said mobile internet.....off. What am I looking for?
hmm.. it saves as a notepad file but your contacts save in microsoft outlook. so i doubt its the file youre talking about. as for KaiserTweak go down to the data tab nd look for "Enabled:Media Net" and "Enabled:AT&T ISP GPRS" if you look down it will say "Enabled (Def/Adv)" on both of them just simply click on it and disable it.

I have started using skype on my hermes and it works ok. Installing it on my desktop and ppc for the first time brought something else to my attention. On the desktop I have outlook protected by a password, however when I am using outlook skype has full access to my address book. I do not want applications to be able to obtain that data, how can I make my contacts/address book secure from that kind of access.
Also, on the ppc version I could not find any option to use the contacts for the skype phone (good) but dose this mean it is not happening or am I just missing it?
Up until I had this 3g connection it would be laughable to think my database could be unsafe in my pocket but now the whole thing could be transmitted in a couple of seconds. It may be time for a third part solution (or maybe my own ).
so i used to have a razr and on black friday i bought the AT&T Tilt. i've never owned a PDA or smartphone before.
now one thing i was wondering, if there's a program or some sort of tweak that would allow me to have a clock when my phone idles. i use my phone a lot as my clock and i would much rather have a digital read out of the time as a backdrop instead of a straight black screen.
also, i set up the xpress mail and i put my info for yahoo, and it downloaded my inbox but i can't get it to update and receive NEW mail. i can't find the update thing, i think when i set it up i had it update manually and now i can't find the place to change it. when i was reading gmail's mobile mail, it said there were only certain mobile email clients it works with, is there an outlook mobile or anything by chance?
lastly, this is the big one, i have a mac and want to bluetooth songs from my mac ONTO my tilt. i have a micro sd card in the tilt but when i tried to set up the bluetooth file exchange i couldn't get it to work right but i was able to set up my computer with my phone to connect to the internet. what do i need to do to get songs from my mac to my tilt through bluetooth. can it be done?
thanks in advanced!

First congrats on you new phone. Mine tilt should arrive in a few days. AS for you question I don't think there is such an application. Even if there was it would probably not be a good idea as it would likely cause your battery to drain quickly. This is a powerful little device that uses a lot of power that's why the display is set to time out (to help with battery life). Just learn to quickly tap to power button to wake the device for a quick glance.

Not sure about this one. I just put the SD card in a card reader an manually moved my music files to it.
Good luck. Hope this helps..
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
For the digital readout, you can use Slide2Unlock2 or the HTC Today Plugin found on these forums. They'll show a big digital readout of the time when you tap the power button. The other option is to use SPB Time, which will do what you're asking but at the cost of battery life. For doing automatic mail downloads, you should use Pocket Outlook (the default messaging app), and as Rojas said, set up your email account. The last page of options will ask you on what schedule you want to check. For the bluetooth thing, I think you need the bluetooth file explorer program. Search for it on these forums. Not sure why you'd want to transfer files via bluetooth though. There are so many easier ways of doing it.

what's easier? i figured since it's a mac the syncing program wouldn't work so i was just going to bluetooth files.

Pocket Outlook, Word and Excel are included on every Windows Mobile device. Read your manual. You will learn a lot by reading it.

I have a unlocked tilt flashed with HTC rom. I configured it to tmobile setting. I added the $5.99 tzones feature. However, I can only able to use IE to browse http://wap.tzones.com not other websites? But i saw someone on this forum are able to browse website like yahoo and google using IE. How can i do that?
thanks
Hi, I do have the 5 dollars plan before... i think it can only can access t-zone..... than i upgrade it to the 20 dollars plan. the IE work so great.... and all the function on the kaiser work perfect... like the weather stuff.
stick in the t-zones proxy. google "216.155.165.50" and you'll be able to browse most any site after you set it up properly. not all things will work, but basic browsing is good to go
I enter the settings for tmobile and the internet works fine. I have the tilt with the htc home plugin installed. My question is that when im hooked up to activesync the weather program works and programs such as yahoo and aim messenger. But when i unhook the data cable it doestn connect to those services. Is there nyway to get this working? thanks
Get the CAB file
The file was created by another forum member.
This will setup the 5.99 plan on your system. Make sure you also run the hidden proxy OFF cab file on your Tilt.
With that you should be able to get email, brows web pages, and utilize Google's and Microsoft's maps.

I already PMed you about this but maybe someone else knows the answer. I run the hidden proxy off cab install this and it says that "your are not authorized to view this page" for any program?
Just out of curiosity, can you confirm that Tmobile has activated the 5.99 plan on your number?
Ok I have looked and looked and cant find anyone haveing this problem. In my comm manager that my tilt came loaded with it will not even let me select direct push. Its just grayed out. Also there is no option to turn off or on the GPS in this comm manager. Anyone know how I can fix the direct push and where I can get a comm manager that shows the GPS? Thanks
You've got to set up your email account first. As for the GPS, I use franson GPSGate which allows me to close the GPS & also share multiple apps with the gps reciever. Otherwise you can only use one gps app at a time. I don't know of any commanager that integrates gps.
The GPS turns on automatically when something *a GPS program) accesses it and turns off when access is discontinued.
I have several email account set up. I have hotmail gmail and aim accounts set up.
Oh and thank you for the answer about the GPS I just wasnt sure.

sorry, but you can't get direct push on free web email. You need a properly configured Exchange server for you phone to connect to via ActiveSync for microdoft direct push to work.
There are hosted exchange solutions that will give you an account on an exchange box, but they cost
Thank you so much for all your replies!!! Lol Does anyone know how to do multiple IE windows on the tilt? Sorry for my ignorance.

Spb Pocket Plus is great for that (and a bunch of other things). The most recent version even allows tabs.
You'll have to buy it, but you can do a full trial first. While you're there, check out the rest of their title too. Spb is the best pocket pc developer in my mind. I have 5 of their apps on my tilt.
If you do end up using SPB, PM me to discuss the full version if you like
As I have been sifting through the forum I have come across several threads about people wanting to know how to get rid of outlook e-mail from messages.
The e-mail I have set up on my kaiser is the same as my outlook on my pc, so when I sync I get duplicate e-mails and have to disable the option to sync mail with pc, but this still leaves the outlook account in messages.
Well here's how to get rid of it.
First you will need a registry editor, I recommend Resco Registry editor but others will work fine.
Then you will need to make a backup of the registry key we are going to delete. So open up your registry editor and go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc
Now in here you will find several folders(so to speak). These include Activesync, imap4, pop3, MMS1 and SMS.
Go into Activesync and their should be a key called "Friendly Name" this should say something like "Outlook" go back to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc then select the "Activesync" folder and use menu to export the folder as a .reg file (backup file) then select the "Activesync" folder again, but this time delete it.
Now close your reg editor and go into messages and the Outlook title should be replaced with the title Activesync. Just soft-reset your device and the Outlook mailbox including "Activesync" has now disappeared leaving just the e-mail accounts and other message accounts that you use whilst mobile.
Should you wish to restore this option just inport the .reg file you created into the registry and soft-reset and it'll be back.
Well I hope this helps. And quick thanks to all members of this forum for your continued support to the community and even helping the little guys.

Thanks! Great solution!
EDIT: Wiped out my outgoing MMS. Dropped registry backup back in and both MMS and Outlook Mail were back.

Why do you have duplicate emails? With an exchange server, your emails on device and in your pc's outlook will replicate - and without exchange they sync anyway?
What's the settings for MMS1? I don't have that in my registry.

Each of these folders represent an account within messages. So "Activesync" is "outlook" (used and updated when syncing with a pc version of outlook or using an exchange server), IMAP4 Corresponds to my (@btinternet.com/using imap), SMS is for SMS (go figure/lol), MMS1 (this can also just be MMS on some device/dependant on version of Arcsoft) POP is for my (@3mail) account and Hotmail is for hotmail (in juction with using Windows live).
So by deleting the "activesync" folder you are in effect deleting the information to display the account.
Also I deleted the imap4 folder (after making a backup of course of the reg entry) And soft-reset the device. It removed my @btinternet account with e-mails. But after i imported the .reg backup I made and soft-reset the device again the account returned with all e-mails intact and fully readable.
**Possibility for a freeware app to hide accounts that are private??? using a password to auto add/remore .reg to access accounts or maybe not. **
Thanks trying to bring something to those who have helped me... Thanks

Hi unwired, The reason I get duplicates is because I don't actually use an exchange server. I have my @btinternet.com account set up on both my home Supreme Pc, My laptop and my Kaiser. But when I used to cradle my kaiser with my pc (mainly for appointments) to update it used to download my e-mails from outlook on my pc to my kaiser. So in the outlook account on my kaiser would be all the e-mails from my pc version of outlook, then in my @btinternet.com account were the same e-mails that I collected whilst I was mobile.
So I needed access to my @btinternet account whilst mobile but in the outlook folder that wqould not let me sync so then i had to set up the other.
So i stopped it syncing with outlook messages on the pc and then decided to try and get rid of the outlook account, which is what i then proceeded to do!
Ok i am going to stop now before i start going round in circles..
But thanks for the question..

Your welcome mate. To be honest I think it was your comment about it I came accross the other day on the forum, which is one of the reasons I decided to post it. I'll try and help more if I can. I've just setup talking dial tones. so when I dial a number it says the number rather than beep. Thanks to grumps for the tones!! I think he's compiling an app to do this easier. But i couldn't wait and so set it up via the registry...
Oh www.htcclassaction.org reports we could have proper display drivers by the end of march!! So fingers crossed our Kaiser will fullfil their legacy!!

I don't have that registry file (obviously). I have the Shogun's Palm SMS threading program installed and lost my MMS'. The fix to install the Arcsoft composer and run an enablemms.cab never worked for me. I wonder if this is what it's trying to fix.

Yeah, sounds like it. If you post that .cab here. I'll take a look for you mate and see what I can come up with over the next week. Failing that I can take my .reg setting for the mms and possibly create a link to the default messaging app.
However my best mate has an o2 xda orbit and I installed WM6 on it but there is no 6.1 yet and he wanted threaded sms. So i installed Shogun's Palm sms. Now when he opens that app he does not have mms, however when I linked to the default messaging app that still contained his mms account and all the mms I sent him were waiting there for him.
So try this out and if you need my help just ask. You can PM me for my e-mail address if you want to send the .cab direct or ask for any other help. I am at work tomorrow(or should I say today) and am on a sleep over so i will check my pm but it'll be from my Kaiser.
Hope I could help..

I have used a .cab analyser on the enablemms.cab and it contains no registry entries at all (none will be added or removed(except for unistall info and platform.reg which I believe is more to do with os at a guess))
and contains these files:
CeSetup.dll in the \Program Files\Tools Folder
checkfile.exe in the windows folder
Platformxxx.reg in the windows folder
CM_Entries.xml in the windows folder
And
Customize.lst in the \Program Files\Tools folder

hi there again...
the trick works great, but I think, that I have a small problem in here.
after applying Your trick on my stock t-mob uk vario III everything went fine except loosing sound for new sms. even if I have ticked in my options to play sound and show message I can't hear or see any notification. only sign of new message is number of new messages in the middle of htc home plugin.
now.. I made a backup of that key before deletion, but...
I've deleted it.. '(-_-)
any chance for You to post that .reg file for me mate?? or if You have some other solution, then I would be more than happy to avoid hard reset.

No worries mate, I still have sound on my sms notifications although I did have to deselect play sound in sound and notifications and reset then re-select the play sound option. And it worked for me but I have a stock htc tytn II. I am at work on my kaiser at the moment and the browser won't let me add an attachment, so when I get my laptop out at 6 i'll post the .reg entry. Fancy deleting it !! lol.. Check back around 6.30. It'll def be on tonight pal..

Thanks for the update diigibio. I appreciate any help. How did you link your friend's phone to the default MMS messaging app? Or would it help if I tried to reapply registry settings?

The default messaging application remains untouched, especially when installing third party replacements such as SMS threading (IMSMS, Palm, Textr and so on). The default link goes to \Windows\tmail.exe.
The quickest way to do this is by using Resco File Manager. click on the tmail.exe and hold until (right-click) menu appears and click "send to" then choose "Start Menu as Shortcut".
Once this is done you can access it via the start menu or use the button app to map it to a button or use with a today screen plugin (spb etc) As when you install the third party app it either replaces the original shortcut with its own or alters the original link to point to the third party app.
Hope this is of some help...

Thanks! worked great for me on WM 6.1 I didn't see the active sync option before the restart either.
