Hey Guys,
I has been a long damn wait, but I finally got the long awaited Skyfire first release. I will share the cab here. However, I do believe that you need an account to use it (kinda like M$ did with their new browser)
However, there are a few things about this new Browser:
1. Since this is the first release, it is relatively slow (not in the loading of the page, but in the scrolling, zooming, and anything using flash (youtube, flash games, etc).
2. I am not sure if it has anything to do with the browser itself, but I installed it, I run the browser for a few minutes with a wifi connection, and the next thing I know, my Blue Angel is about to shut down due to having almost no battery (8% left). Did I mention that I had roughly 75% battery 15 minutes earlier? On an extended Battery?!?!?! (~2400 mAh)
I knew that flash apps have the tendency to run your battery dry but... damn!
Like I said, I posted it because I just felt that it was the right thing to do, to share this with my fellow xda-users
Other than that, this looks rather promising. I will update as I receive any new updates from these people.
Sorry, this is no help for the majority of the users. Will give an error message about System authorization. Thank you for the effort. I personally hope to get my code soon
thanks will try it out
same here with the system authorization..
but i a least saw that it does not take the persumed "20 seconds" to boot the browser up. took me about 2sec. on my tilt

I figured that much, but I just thought I would give it a try. Heck someone could probably hack that code. We have good, skilled programmers here ...
Just Kidding!!
Since this doesnt work on all devices (except the choosen beta testers), please change the title
have downloaded the cab, just freezes when trys to connect to the web. hope that either someone cracks the security or they hurry up and release in the uk
system authorization error... please reinstall... can anyone help... eager to use this app...
You know....you could just always sign up on their website and have the program link sent to you!!! Thats what I did and it works!!1
Don't work on my Touch...
An error comes out and the program says: "unistall skyfire and then reinstall it".....

No BetaTester? Don't use it!
Just found this....
I've taken a look at SkyFire & it doesn't look good. It's not possible to force authorization as it depends on a secret PGP keypair shared between the activation server & the device. A meet in the middle attack would be our next best bet but this is not guaranteed as they're using SSL to encrypt the packets flowing between.
Even if the app were cracked to force successful authorization on the client side it would just freeze & wait for a non-existent response from the authorization server. A crucial part of the activation would be that it compares the IP of the client to determine their geographical location & any place outside the US results in an "Invalid authorization" response.
Another possibility is to access the server through a tunnelling exploit but this highly depends on the configuration of the server itself. I doubt that they'd leave this channel open.
Also something interesting to ponder:
Code:
.rdata:0007BA0C aReset DCB "Reset",0 ; DATA XREF: .text ff_28DE0o
.rdata:0007BA12 ALIGN 8
.rdata:0007BA18 aScheduledAHard unicode 0, <Scheduled a hard reset for tstamp=%d>,0
.rdata:0007BA18 ; DATA XREF: .text ff_292BCo
This is a debug message that would not be displayed to the end-user so there exists a condition where it secretly schedules a hard-reset of the client's device. Nice going, SkyFire

How can I set my phone to notify me (vibrate or tone) when I receive hotmail or an IM with Pocket MSN?
u cant u have to be online to get your mail
technically, you could ping your hotmail account and display a notifier if you've got a new mail. But as musiccube says, you'd have to be online.

Missing miniSD
I have a dopod 838 [aka WIZA 100]. I was fiddling with my device today and I noticed in Resco Explorer that my miniSD card was missing [I checked the slot and it was inserted] I look at it thru Explorer via Activesync and the miniSD was not there also. I did a soft reset and it came back. Has anyone else experienced a problem like this? I have a 1GB miniSD from SanDisk.
some contacts don't sync
I can't Activesync some contacts with Outlook. The problem seems to be only related to contacts with a note in Outlook. Removing the note doesn't help, I have to manually copy all the details without the note, then the new contact is synchronized.

as far as i know there is no Answering system works with wm2003
so i think the problem regarding the answering machine has been solved in WM5 but there is no individual application to enable answering system on other wm5 phone edition PPC's like Prophet, is there any answering program like the one used in i-teq?
please introduce it if you any.
here is screen shot of i-teq bond
lover - this is a specific software and hardware solution provided by Gigabyte. It's not a generic WM5 solution.
Have a read around the board on why that might be the case.

so i think this is a software which is in ROM and there is no hardware added, ithink so.
it would be great if some one get that software from the original ROM.
thanks for sharing
lover: I'm inclined to disagree. I've tried the app on the Magician, Universal and Mio A701. No joy.
The attached, ripped from the ROM, may require other associated files, but I've tried the whole ROM in its complete form. It appears to be non English, so I may be reading it wrong, but let me know if you have any luck.

than you very much but
it didnt work on my JAMin., does any one knows which company is the developer of this software?
Maybe I'm missing something here, but can someone enlighten me as to why you would want an answering machine on your phone when your mobile phone carrier already supplies you with that service? Just want to make sure I'm not missing out on any features here.
i dun think its just a software api that does this answering machine..
most likely to be a hardware inside the phone that is not present in other phones.
It is just a software!
There is a rom (2.03 Beta TofClock Himalaya) and it has this answering machine...
bepe: I think that's specific to the Himalaya. Because of the way the modem works on PocketPC phones, not all (in fact, it seems, very few) have the audio path accessible by the device itself for two way recording.
Have a read through here. If you've had any sucess, please post:

To pay $ 18.95 for an app that you can do for FREE? I've reported about a long ago (it's REALLY worth following my blog ) - I'd certainly prefer it to this one.

Just my two cents...
I don't think the software won't work on any device other than g-Smart range, it's to do with the hardware of the phone, not WM5. Without this hardware I believe it is impossible to record both sides of the conversation without some massive application, which will probably (a) slow the ppc right down, as will need to be integrated into the OS, and (b) not be that cheap either.
Regards.
just a quick qn.. if i want to try on my hermes, how to i 'install' it?
do i need to tweak any registry settings?
thanks
that would be a great app i think!! i'm on pay as you go and orange charge 10p per min to retieve voicemail!! would be super if the phone itself took over and saved an mp3 or something to the memory card!!! no charges!!
come on!!! some make or find it!!!
If you are a beta tester for the project, it's now available for the WM5 pocket pc platform.
If you're not a beta tester, become one at: http://connect.microsoft.com/
It's well worth it, so go take a look now
Having a heck of a time figuring out what WLMM is.
I got it...can we sync our contacts with the device? that would be incredible.

Agreed.... What is WLMM.
Google points to:
Wireless LAN Mobility Module
Workload Management-Monitoring
Neither one sounds right though and I don't see anything on connect that would merrit that acronym.

You have to be accepted into the beta first (took ages for me)
There is a seperate beta for Windows Live Mobile which you have to join. It's faster if you are already a beta tester for another service.
The project title is "Windows Live for Mobile"
When you have been accepted into the beta, go to http://connect.microsoft.com, sign in, and check the "my participations" listing on the right hand side of the website. Select "Windows Live for Mobile", then on the next page, there will be several download links; An Activesync style installer including ppc and smartphone versions, and seperate cab files for each platform. Download, install, and login as normal, no additional hassle.
I would email it to you, or post it here, but as "WizzarD-me" says, it's not legal (Not that it normally bothers me, but I don't want banning )
If you need help with it, add me to ure msn, an i'll try to help
Brins0 <at> gmail <dot> com
just throw the file at ftp *wink wink*
I'd rather just email it to you, won't get anyone in trouble then...
Gimme an email address. or just join the beta, it's free, and they don't spam you, contrary to popular belief...
I've joined the beta and I have to wait for acceptance I assume?
If you were to email me the file, does your passport ID tie you into the beta, as it initially did with Live Messenger beta (windows)?
No, or atleast, i've not noticed it doing this...
You basically have to sit and wait for it to be accepted...

That's besause there's 2 different versions, an insider would know that
So here's what I've found thus far for the PPC version...
It will only pull windows live contacts down to your device. You cannot fully sync your address book on your device with the windows live services. Also, it has an option to sync windows live mail on each activesync (including wireless activesync) which is cool, but still is not proper push mail for hotmail (i mean windows live mail) Anyone notice anything else major?

Ok...Im new to XDA and have always come here when I've needed help. However, after looking around I cannot find an answer to my current problem. I have a T-mobile wing with a 6gb storage card. I have all of my software, movies, pictures, ie cache, and pictures installed to my storage card. My problem is that my main system storage seems to be decreasing by the day. I am down to 3.5mb and have no clue as to what is consuming the space. I have run scans for large files and have even run sktools to make sure that im clearing out everything. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Danny
Already tried a soft-reset?
It usually clears it up and otherwise check if you have set your storage card as storage for your mail attachements.
Yep...I've done all of that and nothing. Im really running out of options and dont want to do a hard reset to have to re-configure everything how I have it now. urggg
Try using this.
I'd also suggest using PocketMechanic or MemMaid ... and I'm sure SkTools will do it too to clear out all the crap that you can.
With PocketMechanic, you can "relocate" installations from the main device to the storage card, and that may help you as well.
I had the same problem. Then I stuck Open Touch 2.6 on it, and all of a sudden it ran way better. I was really apprehensive about doing it at first too since I was happy with my settings. But really, it's worth just taking the plunge. I went from 5mb to what, over 30mb free and it seems like I have the exact same setup (in fact, MORE programs) and they are on the device and not the card, too.
The standard ROM just really whacks your phone.
The Stock Rom sucks ass. I use TouchIT 4.4 and I'm extremely happy with it.
Thanks for all the info. After looking at some of the threads on the two roms recommended im seriously considering doing so. 3 quick questions....1. Can I revert back to the original rom if needed? If so, how. 2. Is there a feature that my phone has now that these roms do not have? 3. Will flashing the phone with one of these roms void the warantee on my phone? Thanks again!
1. Can I revert back to the original rom if needed? If so, how.
Yes, by running the Stock T-MOBILE RUU
2. Is there a feature that my phone has now that these roms do not have?
Any of the Tmobile crap ... myfaves, hotspot logins ...etc... but you can install most of those with a cab.
3. Will flashing the phone with one of these roms void the warantee on my phone?
Yes. Theoretically. But again, if you ever need to send it in, you can install the Stock Tmobile RUU and hopefully you won't have any problems.
Yeah....better off. I dont need the extra T-mobile crap any ways. Which rom is best? I looked at the one you have and that one seemed better.
btw....what exactly does the page pool hack do?
Different people on here will reccommend different Roms.

pof said:
What is the Page Pool?
Quoting mamaich:
The large the paging pool is, the more code pages can present in RAM simultaneously -> the less loads from slow ROM -> the faster the device is.
Quoting Mike Calligaro from Windows Mobile Team Blog:
In general terms, there are a number RAM uses that aren't reported in the Memory CPL.
For instance, an OEM might set aside a fair amount of RAM to allow the camera to write directly into it without using the CPU (a DMA buffer). Typically the way they do that is to tell the system there is less than the available RAM and then use the RAM the system doesn't know about.
Another example is something called the "page pool." This is similar to the "page file" on a desktop system, and is heavilly used on NAND systems. The page pool isn't something a user can configure, so there's not much point in showing it in the Memory CPL.
Code that can't be shut down or paged out, especially drivers, isn't shown on that Memory CPL either. There's no reason to show you the RAM the display driver is using, because you can't do anything about it.
Applications use RAM in two ways. There is code that runs, and there is data that is created while it is running. On a NOR device, the code can run directly from the ROM and not be loaded into RAM first. This process is called XIP (eXecute In Place). NAND devices can't XIP, so their code is loaded into RAM and executed from there. If you don't have a Page Pool, this code is loaded into normal RAM. The Page Pool is a mechanism to limit how much code is loaded into normal RAM. With a Page Pool, we can unload code that hasn't been used in a while and reload it later if we need to. We can't do that without a Page Pool.

I'm getting the error: 800705B4 when trying to update my phone.
So I found a solution on Microsoft's website.
However, the instructions say turn the phone off, which is fine.
Then turn it on, which is fine. But then hold the camera button immediately after turning it on to put it into update mode and this should appear on the phone's screen:

But when I hold the camera button (the call button), nothing happens and it just boots as normal.
Help please?
You can not update your phone as it is not a Native Windows Phone device

I see. So none of us HTC HD2 WP7 users will be able to update unless we flash a new rom or something?
ive been trying to find out exactly what is happening, i suspect its driver related, or at least partially driver related. ive been trying to find out exactly what is happening and why it doesnt work, but i cant find out exactly what driver is installed when a HD7 goes in to update mode,
ive asked on the HD7 forum but no one seems capable of telling me what VID and PID is associated with the device when it goes in to update mode.

Let me know if you find a solution.
And out of interest, does everyone get this problem when trying to update?
Because I haven't seen any threads similar to this one on xda, and I would've thought at least one person would have tried to update and reported their error by now?
I do. I also can't enter in update mode with my HD2. Absolutely the same situation as you ...
ive given up, i dont have the money to get an HD7 and the hassle of trying to get someone else to do things to their HD7s is too much, im still very much of the opinion that at the very moment updating fails, Windows desktop identifies the device as a LEO device, its not a coincidence, it might not be the whole story but im sure its a big part of it.
to be honest, i really cant be bothered updating the ROM or reflashing as we will need to do, im going to wait until we have some worthwhile updates, ideally even some kind of back up program so i wouldnt need to do it again, in the mean time it works just perfect the now so im not to fussed.

Look people..YOU CANNOT UPDATE THE HD2 WP7 ROM USING ZUNE NOR ANY OTHER TOOL CURRENTLY OUT THERE!!!!
WPSupportTool does NOT work on the HD2. Chevron7 Updater (in my case and I haven't heard anyone else having success) does not work neither!!!!
As for not flashing any new updates to WP7, to each is own, but how much stuff have you got loaded on your phone that you wouldn't want to re-flash with WP7 releases?
I personally can have all my contacts, calendar entries, most of my marketplace and sideloaded apps, and 6 email accounts loaded on to my phone after a flash inside 45 minutes. And it wouldn't take long to put customer ringtones and alerts, and any music/video on there through Zune. It's not as though we have anything to flash again anytime soon. Release 7008 is it until the NoDo release is put out by DFT. Who knows when that is coming, although I've heard gossip it's supposed to be in the next couple of weeks.
Chill mate, think he gets the picture already, we know it doesn't work, I would like to find out why it doesn't, its nit a matter of being impossible, its a matter of finding out why! As for reflashing, I have several apps that are essential, they do not support skydrive so any reflash will mean me losing the data, although in saying that, with everything being sandboxes it might be possible to manually locate and copy it....hmmm there's an idea =). Next project set!
of course, little bit later, we can hack more easily then now. but when i connect the phone to pc. it identifies hd7.

Yep, pretty much this.
I want to find out why it doesn't work, and if there's a solution.

If there was a solution, I think the XDA cooks would have found it by now. Demanding aren't we. WP7 was never supposed to be run on the HD2. The entire OS and UI was built around hardware criteria driven by Microsoft to the phone manufacturers.
Error Code
I also get an error code : 80180048 when I try to update my hd2 win7 with zune. Has anybody also received this message and has it been fixed by anyone yet? Will we be updating any time soon without re-flashing?

So we souldnt even bother to try and work stuff out because "someone else" will fix it?
There is a patch available for a Samsung phone for this very error.
Perhaps it holds the key to solving this issue on HD2?
