here a cool close app program i found
http://www.oxios.com/memory/

its perfect for closing all running apps with a single click...and even better remapp it to the t-zones key on the dash for single button close all apps easiness...tell me what u think


if only i could figure out how to remapp the t zone key....lol i just have not spent enough time trying i guess..but enjoy

no question is stupid, do not feel bad.

for backup contacts you must install the ms outlook using ms activesync cd provided with the dash and go from there.

I tried to set to 1 in order to disable the roaming triangle but it says "access is denied" any ideas?

It sounds as though your registry may be locked,

Download the Unlock cab file and then upload to your Dash and simply run the .Cab file.

This will make all of the necessary edits to your registry in order to application unlock your Dash.

I'm having trouble installing the PHM Registry editor
i used the surreal networks app unlock and it worked fine
i downloaded the .msi file from the PHM registry editor site the one recommended for activesync
i run the msi and it installs what seems to be on my comp
but nothing comes up on the dash itself
any ideas on how to install it?
it says try the cab file but there are liek 10 options and i'm not sure which cab i shoudl be using
any help?
thanks!

I have been trying to change the background of my call screen but I cant do it this is the message I am getting . . .



I am doing this thru activesync > explore > My windows mobile-based device > windows

I have an unlocked , unbranded HTC S620 , and by the way the image im trying to replace is HTC_CallProgressBkg_320x186.bmp I could not found anything else with the CallProgressBkg on it , and its only one image , I will really appreciate any help , im really new to this smartphone scenario , although I have a bit of knowledge on the Pocket PC Platform so If you guys have any doubts I will be happy to help you out (if I know the answer) thanks . . .

neo, what i did was transfer it to another location on the phone like my documents and then use resco explorer to move it to the windows folder. that always works for me to overwrite a system file.

Am I the only person on earth who likes xt9? I mean sometimes it's annoying, but it remembers stuff I type all he time and I find it really usefull when using PIE. It's also good for text messages IMO, but that's just me YMMV

I got my dash adn everything works fine
i tried the wifi at home with my wireless router and it works great
when i get to school (york) and try to get onto the schools free wifi network
it doesn't really work
normally on my laptop i just open a browser and it prompts me for my schools login/pwd and after entering it the wifi works
for my dash it initially connected to the airyork network, but opening a browser or accessing any of the wifi functions didnt' work even tho it said it had connected to the network
anyone have any idea on how to connect to this network?

i heard it was something due to york's method of login that caused problems. you might need to talk to the administrator at york about it (i recall it might have to do with adding your device's mac address or something along those lines).

well i kept trying and i got it to work sort of
i was able to connect to the york network
and it brought up the login page but when i tried to login it just froze like that
does other wifi devices or cell phones interfere with the dash using wifi?
it seems once u fail to connect to one wifi network you have to restart the phone to be able to successfully connect to a different one
anyone have any experience with the wifi on the dash?
