Hi guys,
Well, I didn't think santa would bring me a Vario III, so I bought one myself on Xmas eve. I have never owned a smartphone before, but have had PDAs (a palm tungsten and a Psion Series 5).
I basically bought it for the mobile office features (including internet access email) and of course the keyboard.
My experience of the Vario III so far has been mixed, mainly because I don't seem to be able to get certain features to work. I love the fast internet access, the calendar and weather, plus the camera. I have also downloaded Opera mini, which is in my opinion beter thanIE because it gives you proper web pages.
The problems I am having so far are:
1. email. I have so far failed to synch with wither my personal email (with blueyonder) or with my office email. Moreover, in the beginning there was a 'set up a new email account' feature which seems to have disappeared. Do you think a hard reset might be worth a try?
2. video. I have so far failed to launch a single video from any website (including the ones on the t-mobile favourites. I don't know how to fix this.
Also, I have been reading this site avidly, but lacking much technical knowledge, a lot of it I don't quite get. So the additional questions I have are:
1. are there any 'must have' CAB files I ought to be downloading (at least to try them out)?
2. Where can I find the 'cube' which is frequently referred to on here?
Any advice on any of the above would be much appreciated.

1. Must have cab is definately -WKTASK(http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask_en.html) its free so its cool
- Resco explorer(Not Free)
- Htc album, with the new Camera (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355587)
2. As for the cube, if ind it pointless but here it is (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354715)
EDIT: dont forget to tweak your Vario with Kaiser Tweak!!! or, if more advanced tweak it manually with a registry editor available in total commander. Registry tweaks are available in the wiki
Thanks ekw for your prompt and most helpful reply

With reference to emails---Do you have the t-mobile rom..standard purchase from t-mobile?If you do, then as standard out of the box there's an email wizard built in the rom from T-mobile. They believe the email wizard is easier to set up.
With reference to launching videos, and especially from t-zones, this will be restricted possibly due to what's known as "content Lock". Call t-mobile cust services on 150 and ask them to remove the content lock, this will enable you to browse you tube, launch videos an msn and so on.
Hope this helps?
If you need any help, send me a mail, got a few days off.

Thanks mobilemadness, much appreciated. I followed the instructions in the box and have subsequently tried all kinds of permutations, but still have not managed to get email working . I don't know if anyone else is having the same issues.
Well, I don't know if some of your questions have been answered yet?
1. email.
Go to Message -> Menu -> Option -> Add New
(What's your carrier, and how are you connecting to the internet)
2. video.
Download the Youtube plugin for TCMP (or use Dutty rom), or you can download Opera Mobile 8.65 and download Macromedia Flash. You play youtube from the actual website. But I still prefer TCMP.
1. are there any 'must have' CAB files I ought to be downloading (at least to try them out)?
Look at the stickies, those you will have to do a search. Search for a user name dutty, he has a good collection of cabs.
2. Where can I find the 'cube' which is frequently referred to on here?
Do a search for cubes; TouchFlo, is the one that came with the HTC Touch.
I am trying to run a 3 (UK) MSN/Live Messenger on my official O2 WM6.1 Kaiser. (The reason for trying is that with 3 (UK) the operator, your MSN messages doesn't count towards your data traffic; also I would like to experiment its battery drain compare to other MSN clients).
If I just log in Planet 3 (UK) (the 3 portal site), it wouldn't let me download its Live messenger client as my phone is not a compatible one. I changed my user agent string to SEW910i and downloaded the .jad file for W910i. I then removed the certificate portions (the last 2 lines) in the .jad file so that it can install on my Kaiser. It works but sometime the display is not quite way, but more importantly, only vibrate alert is possible but setting to Loud or Soft alert would still result in vibration only. I then modified the .jad file again so that instead of referencing the mp3 files from the 3UK website, it point to the local version (which I downloaded and place in the same directory as the .jad and .jar files) as:
AlertToneContact: online.mp3
AlertToneMsg: newmsg.mp3
However, it still doesn't work :-(
Is there anything I have missed?
May be I should have used the N95's version? Has anyone tried that before? Are they different? And what would be the best version?
Thanks!
SMS push on 3 Live Messenger
Also, one of the feature of the 3 (UK) MSN messenger which I Have tried on my other symbian phone is that even if the client is closed (not minimized), it can still be re-activated/re-launched automatically when new MSN messenges arrive (by listening to special SMS messages form the operator (3 UK)), if one didn't choose to sign out form the MSN server.
I notice in the .jad file there is such a line:
MIDlet-Push-1: sms://:3716, ui.Main, *
Is this a Symbian's Java virtual machine feature? Or is it a general java virtual machine feature?

can i have the oridginal file you had?
Any progress on this?
Im trying to get it to work in Australia, but the 3 MSN java app is running but i cant see it at all.
I've tried the same app and found it very flaky
I have another slight problem, can I ask you to check - I can only login to MSN on 3 if I have a 3g connection.
Where we live the 3g connection is flaky and it refuses to login to MSN on GPRS :-(
Skype wise it works fine (they offer free skype-skype too) don't use their java client, look on this site for instructions how to configure the PPC / Wmobile iSkoot Client :0 tested and it's not used any data allowance.
Thanks,
I already have skoot running using my skype call allowance.
My Kaiser already has Live Messenger, but not the unlimited one.
Was trying to get it running as a pet project.
I have just switched to Three UK PAYG and have been searching around a bit. I am running a WM6.1 ROM on a Hermes.
So far I have managed to:
1) Use HTC Connection Wizard (downloaded via CRC's Device Update) to set up the internet and MMS settings.
2) Run the 'Identify as N95 (WM6.1).cab' (thanks to sub69 in this thread. 6.0 and 6.5 versions can also be found there.)
This allows me to access the My3 pages at http://mobile.three.co.uk/hb/HutchKey
3) Install the 3 Live Messenger Java client. I am using the version 4.5, not the latest V5. Credits for modifying this go to therafiman at MoDaCo.
This is working with Esmertec Jbed, and is working for free as it is meant to.
'Windows_Live Messenger.zip' contains the .jad and .jar files, and only seems to work if both are copied to the phone and the .jad file is run.
The Java client is far inferior to the normal Windows Mobile Live client, but the normal client is not free to run. Additionally I have been unable to log on using the normal client over 3g. If I log on while connected to activesync or wifi then I can switch to 3g and keep it running, but this will be charging you.
I haven't looked at skype yet, because no one I regularly call uses it. However I have found these instructions which look promising despite the dodgy numbering system:
1) First you need to download the Iskoot version of Skype from www.iskoot.com. You'll need to enter your name & mobile number and select your phone type.
2) Once downloaded, install ISkoot on your windows mobile
3) Start up Iskoot but don't log in yet.
4) Exit Iskoot
3) Use a registry editor to change the following keys under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ISKOOT\SKYPE\DEVICE to "http://mobile.three.co.uk/948"
BackupHost
CallUrl
DefaultSkHost
Pushhost (only if it exists)
4) Exit the registry editor and start Iskoot again. This time log in (mine logged in immediately - some people say their first log-in takes a few minutes).
5) That's it!. You can verify if things have worked by examining registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ISKOOT\SKYPE\DEVICE\Cal lNumber. If ok, this should have been updated to either "123" on your first log-in, then to a number beginning +44783833...
Once you've made a few skype calls you should see that your credit / call-time balance / data allowance does NOT decrease.

If anyone has any luck getting the V5 Java Live Messenger client running on windows mobile then please post, or even better would be configuring the normal live client to use 3's free service.
EDIT
I'm attaching the WLM V5 .jad and .jar files.
These are unmodified, and downloaded using the N95 user agent in the previous post. Maybe someone knows what they are doing to modify the .jad and get it working.

Is it the Iskoot for Android your after?
if so: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538306
My post has an Alpha/Beta that needs testing for Android.
upon request it was re-instated, there is an official version out there but i didnt get it to work properly, so i grabbed the original Iskoot for Android (non 3 version) and modified it slightly to incorporate the 3 uk settings
JavaAuthorizer
An excellent application if you don’t want to keep saying “Yes, allow NET access”
Thanks to the people who provided this.

Hi, can I somehow set ebuddy to the same settings and use it for free like windows live on 3 network?
Gotta love it. Hulu on my Fuze, I don't think I'll ever get anything done. , it doesn't seem like the actual page resolution that skyfire downloads has changed though which sucks. but the menus etc. now completely function in both landscape and portrait.
Cheers,
Migsims
** EDIT ** Some people running the stock rom seem to be having issues installing this. I currently have - PROven ROM 1.03 20757 HD build - flashed on my Fuze and Skyfire is working great installed on my storage card. I'm not sure what the issue is.
http://get.skyfire.com
Version 0.85 of the Skyfire mobile browser is now available.
To get the latest version of Skyfire, point your phone's standard browser to http://get.skyfire.com and download the newest client. The site will detect the device and provide the appropriate installer.
Please note: if you are a current Symbian user you must uninstall the existing client on your phone first.
Release notes follow.
Skyfire 0.8.5 Release Notes
Released: November 21, 2008
Skyfire brings the PC internet experience to your mobile. Watch videos on YouTube or Hulu, connect with your friends on Myspace or Facebook, shop on Amazon, or listen to music. If you can experience it on your computer, you now can do it with Skyfire on the go.
Skyfire is fast, easy to use and available for free for many smart phone models.
Skyfire 0.8.5 Beta adds (standard) VGA support for Windows Mobile devices and brings the feature set for our Symbian client in line with Windows Mobile. Skyfire will continue to maintain both platforms in future releases.
We greatly appreciate your participation in our beta community. Your support and feedback on the forums at http://support.skyfire.com/forums/ helps us to constantly improve the product.
What’s new in 0.8.5 for both Windows Mobile and Symbian:
* Simple Download: This is big for us and we hope for you as well. Now, there is NO requirement anymore to register in order to download, access, and use Skyfire. With this release, downloading is as simple as pointing your existing mobile browser to http://get.skyfire.com. We detect the device and provide the installer for your phone.
* Optional Registration: Once downloaded and installed, you can use Skyfire right away. Browse away, create bookmarks, and check your history. Everything will work.
Why create an account? So you can retain Bookmarks and History in case you lose your phone or have to switch phones. Furthermore you can post and participate in the Skyfire user forums.
Already have an account? You can still access your existing account by simply logging in on your device. Or, create a new account. Or, migrate your account between phones. It’s now all done from your phone on the Skyfire start page.
* New UK Data Center: We are looking forward to providing better service for our UK based users and are currently building out a new data center. If you are in the UK you should automatically connect to the new data center and experience better performance. If you are not based in UK, then you will automatically connect to the US data center. Please bear with us as we work out some of the kinks – especially with account migration.
* Overall Improvements: Client and Server robustness, streaming performance, recovering from lost connections.
* Improved rendering of mobile pages: We better detect and render more mobile pages. The list continues to expand.
* Updated Skyfire User Portal: We continue to evolve our user portal and start page. Although some of it was already visible before 0.8.5, it is worth mentioning:
o Google Search & Search Results: It’s the best and the most used.
o Updated weather widget: Now supports Canada and UK postal codes, in addition to US.
o Region specific start page: Custom feeds and pre-populated bookmarks for US and UK.
What’s new in Windows Mobile 0.8.5 since Windows Mobile 0.8?
* Standard VGA support: We are excited to now provide VGA support for the number of new devices that recently entered the market, including the HTC Touch Diamond, Diamond Pro, HTC/ATT Fuze. Please note that we support Standard VGA support (e.g. 640x480). Widescreen WVGA (e.g. 800x480 etc) is NOT supported yet.

cant wait to install it!

Didn't work for me ...
I dowloaded the cab from the 'get' link and when I tried to install it I got an error stating that "...The installation file is not intended for this device."
I used Skyfire on Tilt all the time so I was hoping it wouldn't be a problem on the Fuze. Must be doing something wrong ... ?

It's working fine on my Fuze, dunno what's up there. What version did you download?
It worked for me too. When I went to that website it said my device was a TouchDual, but it still worked and landscape works fine with our keyboard too.
I too got the same error. The link automatically sets version 7.9x. Maybe they will get it worked out. Also the user control has been moved to the mobile browser. And since some of use have moved on to the fuze we can't access the control panel to say change device.

The link defaulted to "Skyfire_7927-PPC50". There was no option to choose anything else. I not only tried the link from my phone but also got the same file when using the laptop.
I'll keep watching to see what might be the problem.

That's exactly the one I downloaded and installed and it's working fine, that's kind of strange.
i'd recommend just downloading the cab and copying it to your device if you're having problems

Did that and got same results, meaning "Unsuccessful" message.
*EDIT: Worked this time. Must have been me on the transfer from laptop. Got it working now, so thank you for the recommendation to try again.
copy it to my device, installed and had to soft reset to get it working. But it works very well. Now I have 3 browsers to choose from What is the down side to SkyFire?? Seems to do everything.
On the ATT Fuze I went to the site, it said I have an HTC phone so I click to download it didn't work. But if I selected This is not my phone, then went to WinMo 5 or 6 Touch it worked flawlessly :-D
i did the above and it worked, problem is the browser looks blurry... like a scaled up version of the qvga version... when it loads a page and th site takes up the screen you cant read any of te small text... opera is nice and crisp and clear...
ill try the other installation way when i get to my home computer to see what works there. I looked around in the settings but nothing is there as far as adjusting resolution or anything.

i think all they did was make the menus and stuff vga for now and hopefully soon they will actually make the whole thing fully vga
hmm, that could be it... the address bar and stuff are all crisp and vga-ish...
can some more people who have this running give more feedback on this...
oh, and is there tabbed browsing on this browser at all? I cant seem to find it. for a browser that claims to do EVERYTHING, thats the one thing I am really looking for!

Its is def not as sharp as the Opera browser. I also noticed its alot slower now then in the locked betas :-( I guess because the server load is growing but I used to watch streaming video all the time.
yeah the problem is that any flash is streamed and compressed on their servers ala opera mobile.
It would be really nice if adobe finally got off their ass and made an updated full plugin on not this flash lite crap.
Well if definitely does not look as nice as Opera....and is there a way to make this work with TouchFlo3D?
Yeah, I had to download it, transfer it to my storage card then install it without issues.
I still get the half screen issues that I had with previous versions.
Guitar tab viewer for Windows Phone. Currently supports guitar pro 3,4,5 (.gp3, gp4, .gp5) and text formats. It's developed in C# (Silverlight). Provides search&download tab/images engine (uses ultimate-guitar.com and last.fm).
I have no time to finish it and have no opportunity to add to marketplace (I live in Belarus). So I’ve decided to make it an open source project.
Briefly speaking this project consists of the following parts:
Guitar tab search&download engine: uses web services of ultimate-guitar.com site for direct searching and downloading.
Guitar Pro parser: can open gp3, gp4, gp5 files (Guitar Pro)
Guitar Pro viewer: can show tablature from guitar pro files using custom viewer (features of Silverlight are used)
Text tab viewer: can show tablature in text based formats
The following tools and technologies are used here:
Development approach: Silverlight
MVVM framework: Microsoft Prism
Special controls: LazyListBox, LongListSelector
Currently there are some issues and improvements that should be fixed before it is publish:
Improve guitar tab viewer and parser
Add authenticate engine for guitar-ultimate.com (token is required for downloads)
Fix issues with tombstoning and back button press
Source codes: phoneguitartab.codeplex.com
Screenshots: dropbox.com/gallery/20298658/1/PhoneGuitarTab?h=c75baf
Thanks for the gift !
I'll download it to test, upgrade and maybe publish !
Regards
Sounds great! Hopefully some devs pick it up and run with it.
This is something that I am extremely interested in. I am subscribing to this thread, I look forward to seeing this Project Develop. I use the program Guitar Pro 6 all the time on my PC. I would absolutely love a mobile version on my hTC HD7. Best of Luck... And please do not get discouraged or lose interest. This is definitely something I want to see through till the end.
Sent by Projekt hTC
Nice! I'll check it out when I get home.
Is this only going to be available for people with unlocked phones? Or does the developer plan for the marketplace
Sent by Projekt hTC
I haven't developer account for Marketplace because I live in Belarus and there are some problems with it. Sorry...
I hope this application will be developed as open source project. I will fix some major issues in my spare time: right now I'm investigating how to fix issue with tab downloading from ultimate-guitar.com.
The decision about sharing the source code was made on the spur of the moment and I can provide some comments about my code for developers if it is necessary.
We have developed the first application for Windows, I wanted all the XDA user to comment and share the review over here and Windows store.. I reuqest you all please give me 5* in Windows store..
We are working on Interesting Game for Windows we wanted all your support move head to next level...
