Dash WM6 FAQs (version 1 May 10 2007)

Has anyone had any luck uploading mobile photos to Facebook via the Dash? I tried sending a photo via MMS but never got a response back from photos@facebook.com.

So strange, even when you go into Settings>Sounds, they won't play in there either! Weird!

@warthogdriver

I had this same problem until about five minutes ago when I finally decided to look in the registry. HKCU > Control Panel > SoundCategories > Reminder. Change the value for InitVol from 0 to 1. Now you should have an actual sound play for your reminder. Of course, just like the change to get rid of the beep before making a call, this setting reverts after a soft reset.

I've been using PocketDivXEncoder for a while now and getting great results with the program. Here were my settings:

Video quality: anywhere from 10-12
Use 2-pass Encoding: selected
B-Frames: selected
XviD: selected

THanks so much for this reply. I was beginning to lose all hope.

I will try PocketDivXEncoder.

I just got the Tmobile Dash with WM6 preinstalled. Minor app installation and customization has been done on the device, besides which, I noticed the performance problems within a couple minutes of playing with device right out of the box...

I keep having to use Task Manager to kill apps as soon as I'm done with em. Couldn't the MS6 smartphone OS dev team thought of putting a CLOSE APP overide on the menu of each application? Some devlopers like Google maps think of this stuff... I wish everyone did. While I'm on the subject, can anyone recommend a good free Task Manager that in the best of worlds adds a Close App button to every running application?

Aside from that - what a great smartphone! I'll never go back!

Thanks for all this great info! You all rock!

I assigned the Windows Task manager to the tzones button. That makes it easy to switch to it and kill things. Holding down "2" kills all open apps.

sounds like you don't have a dash. you need to get the upgrade from your provider or unlock your phone.
