The following applications do not work with this version:
SlingPlayer for WM5 smartphone (Can't connect)
Tornado PowerControl (OMAP errors out)
What applications don't work for you?
-TXTman can't capture sms
-AE Button Plus broke "end call" key when i remapped it to end programs
-Replacing IE_Short.lnk with task manager command causes internet explorer to open simultaneously with task manager
yeah no threaded sms programs will catch the messages. that's my only gripe right now.

I've run an Application Unlock on my S620 and I've managed to install Blackberry Connect but, like you, not getting any mail.
I've given up and gone back to the German WM5 rom. After a couple restarts of the device, the blackberry connet top banner doesn't even show up on homescreen anymore!
I'll wait till rim gets their act together on WM6.
J
Hmm...I am going to give this another try.
I realized that I couldn't get emails on my device, even after putting the WM5 rom back on, because I hadn't sent a "service book" from rim's blackberry site. That did the trick. Gonna, reload WM6 and give it a shot!
J
Bah, no luck getting this thing to connect or run reliably let alone get emails...
how do i go back to my original .. windows mobile 5...
if anyone is using WM6 on the Dash...
could you please tell me if they fixed the bug that automatically changes your profile to "headset" when you connect a bluetooth handsfree headset.
and if it does change it to "headset" automatically could you please tell me if you are able to change your profile to "normal" while the bluetooth headset is still connected
Thanks in advance

Someone would have to consider that a bug first. I think more than 99% of the people using a bluetooth headset would want the phone to switch to headset profile automatically. Call me silly, but...

well yeah it would seem that way but when i have my bluetooth headset connected... sometimes i want my phone on silent/vibrate and other times i want it to play sounds, and i hate having to go and edit the headset profile manually to do this, just changing the profile would be a lot more convenient.
I use my wired headset to play music then set the profile to normal.
Does this not work the same way when using a BT headset?

no for bluetooth, you can't change your profile unless you disconnect the headset
I noticed that none of the MSN pre-installed software that was part of WM5(MSN IM, Hotmail access, etc) is on this version. When I attempt to set up my messaging to receive hotmail, I get an error stating: "could not find pmsnlauncher". I've looked around and found a download of the pocketMSN software, but it must be 'activated' for ~$20. It does mention (msn website), however, that if the software is 'pre-installed' no activation is necessary. This leads me to believe that the MSN software is simply not part of the BETA rom.
Anyone else notice this? Any thoughts?
msn is now windows live.

uhhh... tpc works just fine for me... i'm using 2.0 beta 4 of tpc, but other versions should probably work as well. make sure your phone is completely app unlocked, or you will have problems. that includes the 0000101b policy entry in the registry.
i'm the creator of tpc, so if you have questions about it feel free to message me.

I am trying to get my laptop running linux to use my hermes as a modem over bluetooth. So far I am not succeeding, I have paired the phone and the laptop, but no services show up to share. I have sent files over bluetooth to the laptop and that is just fine.
Has anyone else done this? I really don't want to change my laptop back to windows just so I can surf the net using my phone.
Thanks
What distribution of linux and what window manager do you use?
And does the file transfer work both ways? (to the phone and from it).
I might help you a little
Using Ubuntu - Edgy Eft and Gnome.
I don't have a way for files to be sent from the latop, I am using the blue tooth file sharing program - which seems to be one way only.
I did this a long time ago, so I might have forgot something, but let's give it a try.
First check if you have a rfcomm device in /dev/, there should be something like rfcomm0.
And this is there if you have edited and paired your phone correctly!
(you should add your device to /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf)
Try Gnome-PPP, it's a very good program for dialup rutines ^^
Code:
sudo apt-get install gnome-ppp
The gnome-ppp should be run in root mode because rfcomm device has no privileges, or then you could just chmod it.
But anyways, I've made a script for myself to turn on BT and start gnome-ppp, to run it with root privileges with the following command
Code:
gksudo -u root gnome-ppp
after that you see a window with username password etc.
press setup and put in the following config..
Setup
Now we need a init string! I have no idea what is your provider and what init string is needed for it.
In the Setup window press Init Strings...
And in the first place you set the string.
With Saunalahti as a provider I have a init string of:
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet.saunalahti"
notice that internet.saunalahti is the APN name for my providers internet gprs connections! So replace this with yours, or then contact your provider and ask for that info
Now back to the first window.
My ISP doesn't require any username but you can't connect without them so put in whatever you like for example
username: none and password: none
or
if you need username and password for your providers GPRS, then add them here
For the phonenumber set the number: *99#
Nothing else, that should be it then if I got it all and remember correct
Then just connect (notice that on TyTN there isn't any "connecting to GPRS" popups when you use a PPP from linux).

I've been successfully using my Wizard and Hermes as BT modems for GPRS/EDGE/UMTS connections, but only with WM5 (check out my tutorial here: http://klamstwo.org/evad/archives/20 ). After upgrading Hermes to WM6 I am no longer able to create rfcomm device, and I don't know why.
However, it is still possible to use GPRS/UMTS connection under Linux! I've managed to get it working through Bluetooth PAN profile. I'm planning to write some kind of tutorial on my blog pretty soon, but in meanwhile have a look here: http://bluez.sourceforge.net/contrib/HOWTO-PAN - this HOWTO describes quite comprehensively BT PAN usage under Linux.
Basically, you need to set up Internet Sharing via BT on your Hermes, and then connect from your Linux using pand daemon. Check out HOWTO, give it a try, if nothings comes up - feel free to ask here. Good luck.
Btw, my distro is FC6.

In WM5 it didn't work even with Windows (or I didn't know how to set it up properly). WM6 brings completely new Internet Sharing application which is accessible from Linux without big problems via Bluetooth PAN profile - check out my post above.
I'm planning to try connecting to internet through Hermes/WM6 via USB cable. I guess it's just a matter of installing some usb-driver. It's worth to try, as UMTS/HSDPA connection together with BT drains battery really (I mean REALLY) fast, and also - USB cable offers higher speeds than BT...
Nice to know, i'm using WM5 atm, waiting the official WM6 release from sweden (I live in finland and tried to contact finnish HTC regarding that matter), then I might look into it more.

Hi all,
It's my first post on this forum. But I'm looking forward to finding a way to use my HTC Wizard has a USB modem...
I've seen on another forum that configuring this device as an USB modem can be quite easy done on Windows. So it would be nice to have this working for Linux

You can get it working as modem the same way you could do it in WM5 - using the "internet sharing " application.
The problem described here is that when you do
$ sdptool browse <bluetooth_mac_address>
you see no services.
I have the same problem with ubuntu.
When I browse the services of another phone - a nokia for example - I see all of them .
However I had this problem with ubuntu even before upgrading to WM6.
So it seems the problem is in the bluez version delivered with ubuntu.
What I am going to try the next few days is to uninstall the ubuntu release of bluez and build the source code and install.
I had an issue with synce also with ubuntu - not working. So I downloaded synce 's sources and everything works now.

This is mainly because the connection method has changed in WM6.
In WM5 it was done via DUN (Dialup Networking Profile). WM6 Internet Connection Sharing does not utilise or advertise this profile when in place, but sets up a PUNU (Personal Area Network) profile, basically turning the Hermes into a router with dhcp services.
I followed the referenced howto and was able to get my laptop running FC6 connected to the Hermes and auto-assigning an IP address. Unfortunately, though, the connection was not stable and disconnects not long after it was established.
I'll have another read at the howto as I've noticed persistent connection flags that should force reconnection, however if I'm connected to the Company VPN, then I suspect that will continually drop also.
Can anyone post any success stories and configuration/command output that they used to create a stable connection?

It actually works stable, however I have never used single connection for more than like 30-60 minutes, yet - I guess.
Btw, works also with Fedora 7.
OK, this may be a bit naive, especially since T-Mo is rumored to stop tethering on the TM506 in later updates (heaven forbid SIM provisioning), but I would like to tether the Dash to the TM506, like a PC, via BT and only have data on the TM506. I really love my Dash for now and the TM506 has HSPDA 3.5G. Can this be done? Can any additional WM6 software accomplish this?

Find my thread on Bluetooth Dun, it has the software you need, just install it on your T-Mobile Dash to the main memory. If you cannot find it get back with me...........!
Thanks for the quick reply and advice.
I'll search your threads to find the DUN Posts and post back in a few days. So I quess the Dash can dial to T-Mo 3G using the TM506 modem via BT. Great!
I just wonder if there is a way to configure DUN without it eating minutes. Previously, when I set up connection teaming on a laptop with the Dash and a Samsung T409 using DUN, minutes on my plan began to mysteriously get used.
Is it possible to use T-Mo DUN without eating minutes off your plan?

Thanks, I still have it in my downloads from the last time you helped me. I didn't really need it then because my modded Dash had BT DUN enable for PC to Dash modem. Hope it works for Dash to TM506 modem.
Update: I installed the app to main memory but I don't see a program link or folder in program files. I'm guessing something went wrong but the install was reported as successful.

Yes the devices are paired. The TM506 sees these services on the Dash: Object Push, File Transfer, Audio Remote Control and target. The Dash sees these services on the TM506: Input Device and Serial Port.
It appears that the SE PC Suite connects to the TM506 through BT serial port. You can also use BT dial-up networking directly instead of BT serial port.
If it were possible to have the Dash use the BT serial port on the TM506, like the SE PC Suite, then it might work. But I can't find any function in the Dash to do this.
I was also successful in connecting two PC's to the TM506 via BT. One via BT DUN and the other via BT PAN. The PC's had internet but the connections seemed very slow.

Somthing tells me this would have been easier with a PPC instead on a Smartphone. GRIN
I can use DUN from a PC to both the TM506 and the Dash just fine. But I can't seem to figure out how to use DUN from the Dash to the TM506.
Many BT profile features on the TM506 are not visible to the Dash. Especially DUN and PAN. The BT serial port is visible but theres no application on the Dash to take advantage of this like the SE PC Suite does.
I've attached a picture of the BT services provided by the TM506 to a PC using the Widcomm BT stack.
Looks like the picture is too small. I'll try to post a better one.
Larger Photo of TM506 BT service to a PC with Widcomm BT Stack. The SE PC Suite uses the Serial Port to connect. Use can also use Dial-Up directly. In the photo I was using PAN - notice the green connected icon.
Hi Im look to get someone to figure out how to get caller id,sms, and interent over bluetooth to work on windows phone. Im willing to pay 50$ for such an app.
You can already get the phone to speak the caller ID over a Bluetooth headset. In fact, I thought it did by default? I can't find a place to turn it off.
For SMS, go into Settings -> Speech. There's an option for "Read aloud incoming text messages". If you enable this (I have it set for "Bluetooth only" but you can also set it to work for wired headsets, always, or never) then the phone will say to you "Incoming message from <name>" (or <number> if it doesn't know the name) "You can say 'read it' or 'ignore'" and the phone will then listen for your response; if you say 'read it' the phone will read you the message and then give you the option of also replying by voice.
As for Internet over Bluetooth, that could be either tethering via BT (have a PC access your phone's Internet connection over BT) or joining a BT network (enable BT networking on you PC and share the Internet connection through it, then connect your phone to that). So far, I don't know of anybody who has gotten either of those to work. The official Internet Sharing feature has some hidden options that make it look like it should support using BT, but basically nobody seems to use BT networking anyhow, so maybe that wasn't implemented.

BT PAN & DUN are not supported profiles. In other words, tethering is available only through USB (if your particular device supports it) or wi-fi (same caveat).

That moaning you hear is because you expect progress in the realm of technology. Windows Mobile runs rings around any other OS as far as connectivity is concerned. This is how you can connect your laptop to the internet with Windows Mobile:
1. Bluetooth PAN
2. Bluetooth DUN
3. USB
4. Wi-Fi
Only the freeTether homebrew on webOS gets near that (no DUN). Here's the kicker: DUN is client-side initiated so you don't even have to unholster your phone. Sorry dude, I need a tool and not a toy. My daughter plays with the iEtch-A-Sketch.
Display of callers name is a function of the BT device not the phone. My car hands-free displays caller ID because contacts were sync'd to it from the phone.

*walks into old thread that has some relevance to him* Bluetooth PAN has more than just laptop and tablet tethering uses. Smart accessories, such as smart watches and (most likely based on what ive read) the upcoming Google Glass require such capabilities. New technologies are coming out that connect to your phone via this very feature. If your phone does not have this, youre sunk.
does anyone know if there is any way to use pan in windows phone?
There is no reason it can't be added, but I suspect it won't be added

-w- im committed to windows phone, but I find it silly the things they leave out (and have removed.)
I mean, pan wouldn't be too hard to add I would think... also, there is Play music voice command and a return of the lockscreen
music controls that is needed (with an option to disable it for those who complain saying "its still running! I want them gone.")....
Microsoft seems to of not heard the saying "If its not broke don't fix it." instead they heard "If its not broke fix it before it is."
I am really looking forward to Glass but if it wont work with my phone that sucks. same with smartwatches.

Hi guys,
I have a Galaxy S3 running 4.1.1. I love it so far. the one problem that i am having is this. I recently bought a blueant Q2. it sync perfectly with the phone and everything works well.
My problem is that the native phone dialer requires a network connection. This is stupid since my dumb phones that i had for years did not. I would just say call X and it would call X.
Is there a app that doesn't require an internet connection to dial people that will start automatically when i touch my bluetooth headset?

My problem is that the native phone dialer requires a network connection. This is stupid since my dumb phones that i had for years did not. I would just say call X and it would call X.
Is there a app that doesn't require an internet connection to dial people that will start automatically when i touch my bluetooth headset?

Dragon assistant (There's a thread for it if not available in your country).
I tried dragon and it requires an internet connection to work even in drive mode.

What do you mean by older device? Like not android?
Androids run with Google, which of course uses internet so I dunno if there's an app that would allow it without internet connection. That's like having a AI on your phone.
all of my non-smart phones could do bluetooth dialing without connecting to the internet.
yet my smart phone has to connect to the internet. I don't want to blow my mobile data so i only use it when i have to.
i don't understand how a dumb non-smart phone can do something that a smart phone can't.
i have heard cyberon can do it i just didn't want to pay for an app.

Dunno how much data you have but I personnaly have 1GB and I never use all of it (and I never restrain myself from using the internet). Those voice search use next to nothing so you really don't have to worry about that.

I suppose (but that's only a guess) you would have saved a voice entry for all your contacts on your old phone, and the phone would match your query to one of the voice entries. And on Android, this kind of match is computed by a speech recognition server. That's what I would guess...
