Thank-you. I was frusterated at the last of information for this phone and intended to remedy that.
I could be mistaken..I origionally thought exactly as you did because I had wanted Pay & Talk when I was looking into purchasing this phone. I think the thing that swayed me from this was when I looked for the packages of Pay & Talk eligible phones. I will drop by one of the Telus retailers and asked them on my way home from work today and confirm/deny. Thanks' for bringing this up!

And good news to all. koolin has agreed to update the information in my origional post, so and I will start working on an update to this thread today and we should see it up by the end of the week.
Slice of Vice, thanks for the work you are doing with this phone!
I purchased an M540 from Telus two weeks ago, and it was $99.50 on their pay and talk plan, which included about $50.00 worth of airtime.
I haven't had a cell phone for about 15 years since I gave up my old Motorola brick, and my wife was threatening to buy one for me, so I chose this one because it was available without contract and it had a full keypad, hoping it could be an economical combination of a phone and PDA.
I put a 4Gb memory card in it thinking that it would expand the available space for the Memo Pad function, but am quite disappointed to find that I can still only enter 9 memos of about 20 to 30 characters each before I get a message "no more empty space" There doesn't seem to be any sort of option to store memos on the memory card like there is for music.
I can cheat by putting multiple items (get milk.... check mail.... get bearing for sander...... call undertaker.... etc.) up to the 512 character limit in one memo but that's a pretty crude solution and it requires a lot more effort to edit completed tasks out than to just delete them in one or two button pushes.
I'd love to know of a solution if one is available..... 9 memos is not very many at all! I'm going to hunt around on the 'net to see if there are any 3rd party applications for this phone that would allow contact lists, memos, etc to be compiled on the computer and transferred (synched?) to the phone via the USB cable. Seems there is so much potential but maybe I picked the wrong phone for the job.
chances are when you added the files using bitpim you probably did it incorrectly so just look over the steps and you'll get it.
Hmmm I've got the ring tones to work fine I just can't seem to get Opera to work. I noticed in the .jad file that the content folder is "Applications" but there is no such folder with the Koodo Samsung Slyde. By default where would this applicatoin be linked to from the main menu?
One other thing there's no _telus_policy.txt file by default but by copying it to my phone it doesn't get deleted. This is what I've got so far:
/brew/mod/obione
_telus_policy.txt
/brew/mod/obione/jas/index
6.txt
/brew\shared\jas\temp\install Both of these are the default files I downloaded, just renamed.
6.jad
6.jar
I'm pretty sure koodo is pretty much the same a telus... did you look in my files? I'm pretty sure thats where applications is.
Yup I did My Files only contains Ringtones and Wallpaper, no Applications. From what I'm reading it seems that this is a problem with all Koodo phones though there has been success when flashing a Koodo phone with Telus firmware so all hope is not lost. I just have to wait and see if I can get my hands on the Telus m540 firmware
Thanks for this AMAZING Thread. Really Appreciated. Also, I would like to know how your java apps hack is coming along? Will it ever be released or still in the works??
Go to Windows Device Manager and see what COM port your phone is connected to then in UniCDMA click on "Setup" and set the COM port to the same. Once that is done under "Mode" change it to the Samsung right below Qualcommn and click "Read All", then select Qualcomm again and click "Read All" then eventually you should get the info.
At first nothing would come up for me but eventually it did and now it does every time now.
I hope someone can help me out. I was able to get the MSl and use QPST to view the files on the phone. I tried to create a custom ringtone and when I finished transferring the files, I unplugged the phone before quitting QPST. Now when I connect the phone it tells me that it is no file system and gives me a blank root directory. Did I mess it up or is there a way to make it work again? Thanks a bunch.
I've read through the instructions several times and, despite having some familiarity with these programs, have not managed to get filesystem access yet.
I installed the samsung usb drivers, connected the phone via usb cable, and started up uniCDMA (both 0.98 and 1.095) but with no success. The program is unable to find ANY information about my phone at all. It seems that the problem is the program does not recognize that the phone is connected at all. Under device manager the samsung modem and diagnostic serial port appear, and it has been assigned COM port 1.
I'm probably missing something really simple, but I can't seem to figure it out on my own. Would someone please respond and let me know what I should be trying in order to get the phone to show as connected in uniCDMA?
Alright, got it worked out ok. Apparently I just needed to reboot the phone b/c now it works in uniCDMA, and bitpim. Please disregard my previous message.
