[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] stonkulture:
I got all kinds of screwed up goin' on!

OK,..So,..I'm REEEAAALLLL new,...like yesterday new,...literally. Here's my situation,....A VERY good friend of mine gave me a 2.17.7.2 OS version for my 8125 last Apr./May along with a Smart voice active tool (you ask it to do things or for information, it does it.....and I have a question 'bout that....but later)

I use to LOVE my phone (8125) up until about 5 months ago when all of the sudden, for no apparent reason, my mini-usb jack CAME OFF OF THE MAIN BOARD.......all by itself....(and of course NO ONE AT ALL WOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT!,...NOT CINGULAR.....NOT HTC...)...needless to say, it was either pay HTC $185.00 to fix the issue, pay Cingular $455.00 for a NEW one,...or have a nice paper weight....BUT...I was saved,...by a guy named Matt who owns a shop called "MDWireless" in Antioch,Ca. He single handedly soldered the USB jack back on and it was able to once again charge the battery (just wouldn't sync up,...couldn't even get it to sync with IR or Bluetooth.....Which is where I'm stuck at this moment,...cause I've got over 250 contacts on my 8125!....talk about a hand cramp to happen.)

ANYWAY, I've read in its' entirety, that WONDERFUL piece of literary work that's at the beginning of this thread. (I must say, that it was written VERY well...so much so, that I was laughing hystarically!...which I desperately needed at that point in time due to my ever growing frustrations) I think, (and I should HOPE SO) I've got the upgrade part handled, EXCEPT for which one I need for Cingular's service? Also, I was curious to know if there where a few other down-loadable items available for the 8125: 1) A better version of Windows Media, with perhaps an EQ function that is attached to it. 2) A Voice Recognition program better than the one that was on my old 8125....which you could ask the phone "what are my appointments today" and it'd tell you,..or..."Play "Sevendust" " and it'd kick on WMedia and play the file....but wanted to know if anyone has created the abillty to make it sync up DIRECTLY to what ever "Bluetooth Device" you already have discovered, but want to activate....for instance, if I wanted to go from my Plantronics ear piece to my Scoche Car Stereo adapter and play my WMedia through it....with no wires attached.....Bluetooth kicks ass! I'd love to shake the guys or womans hand who created that setup. PROPS! And finally 3) Any other really cool as hell feature that would be nice to have on that unit just to make life just that more convienient,.....and also, so people I know will just shake their heads and mutter "Bells & Whistles", then ask "Why?"......Just so I can reply with "Why the F*@% Not??!!" (You must admit,....it is pretty damn cool to be one of the only kids on the block with one of the coolest toys and if someone else has the same thing you have,....yours just happens to be just THAT much cooler than theirs.....or is it just me? (Never had much as a kid growing up, so I'm making up for everything I could never have or could afford to get. Sorry for the lengthy novel,..er,....post. So as I recap my questions; 1)which down-load for Cingular 2)Better WMedia download?....(E.Q.?) 3)Voice activated Bluetooth device chooser 4)and Any other downloads that'd be benificial/cool as hell to have? I thank you so very much. -Stonkulture
