Or is there a special Raza Hack that turns the Moto Into a Nokia????

And, unlike those iDEN handsets from Motorola which really has a SiRF module inside to get the data from the constellation of birds up there to assist the location service, the 6265i along with many CDMA handsets would NOT run into the power-draining feature even if you allow the location info to be shared with the network all the time.

The location-based service is done via IP and it has to be connected back and forth to a specialized server on the network side to do the calculation with the data gathered from the AGPS / AFLT components. Unfortunately, TELUS has yet to offer such access to the service. Those please read this FAQ at:

Bell has it with the value-added apps like MapMe. For the wireless e911, it is getting close to be commerically available. Bell has conduct trials last summer. However, it will NOT work if you force your TELUS handset to roam on Bell because the authentication measure will prevent non-Bell subscriber to access the location-based service.

So, any hack on the handset side would not do any good.

Regarding the DRM issue... You have to understand while someone is lucky to have their carriers' PRI file allowing to toggle certain items, some carriers may ask Nokia to hide those items which you will not even see it in Diego at all!

- At the time I posted my response because the PRI file I have played with is different from the final release from TELUS. The prototypes / beta version PRI still has the item to allow the toggle the ringtones DRM / Copyright restriction. Remember, I do not post things I have not confirmed with. Now, as I have tried with the release version from TELUS, and I can tell you that it works.

So do not give up easily! It is relatively more difficult but it is not totally impossible. Also, I do not want to make it so high-profile because HoFo is indeed popular - even to those in the industry from carriers to manufacturers. I do not want to see TELUS or Nokia will make our "Future LESS Friendly"!

Now the problem is that you can't set ringtones for specific contacts, one must through the group option to be able to set the ringtone for a specific group. There are only 5 groups available and we can't create any (so far). So i guess that we will have to find a way to assign ringers to contacts or if that doesn't work find a way to add more groups


man this diego software looks like a powerfull tool....BUTT ugly though....

There must be an option in there to make the dar id pics bigger !

i've never really done bluetooth before, i'm no master, but i'm sure it doesn't take rocket science to see that even though the phones are paired, the nokia drops the connection.... hrmph!

just make sure the phone you are sending to is getting the request, and make sure you hit accept.

I can suggest you a good canadian dealer on ebay. Check his store out :
http://search.stores.ebay.ca/F5-Wir... aQ2d53QQsofpZ0

That's where i bought my ca-53 cable and he ordered about 50 of them knowing that the 6265 was coming out. I got mine within 3 days and if you live in ontario it will take 1 day. Canada post is one of the best mail systems in the world so you won,t have any problems at all.

Give it a try

How does your cable work?

Nokia should definitely let the cable charge the phone as well though...right now it doesn't but other than that i have used the cable to connect to Mobimb, Nokia PC Suite and some "other" program so like allways; ask away if you have any questions. (Installation, driver, connection etc...)

And as you might suspect even if on loudspeaker once you disconnect the headset the radio turns off.

I'm looking for a way to activate the radio without having to use a headset.

Or will I be able to assign ringtones to individuals now?

2.Then press the options button and goto flash and enable it.
3.Now press right on the d-pad(arrow pad) so that you cycle through each 4.camera features(Camera, Portirate, Night, Video).
Once you get to video the flash will be on and it will stay on for as long as you are in that mode.
Now you have a bright led flashlight!

slyguy,

Regarding the relatively soft volume during calls / conversation of many Nokia handsets (not just CDMA but GSM as well), it has been a theory suggesting that it is purposely done for ettiquette reason... So people will not yell at thier Nokia when talking. Our brains will be confused by the sound coming out from the earpiece because we may not hear our own voice as normally do. So we tend to speak louder to compensate it. One of the workaround is to use "side-tone", i.e. putting certain level of sound picked up by the mouthpiece into the "conversation", so we can hear our own voice coming out from the earpiece. However, too much side-tone would become too noisy as it also picks up undesirable background noise as well.

Are all Nokia phones like this ?

i guess i just need some more time to find it or just wait until someone figure it out.

TELUSMAC,

No, you have NOT messed up at all!

1. Reboot your 6265i and the missing icons will come back. If not, try to change the theme again BUT NOT the TELUS Default one.

2. The label of the Main Menu Icons can be toggled... At the Main Menu, press the LEFT soft-key, Options > Main menu view, then you have 3 choices: List, Grid, Grid with labels.

Personally, I prefer it without label because the menu label will show at the TOP LEFT corner of the screen whenever you scroll the main menu anyway.
