Always On Internet (Vision) Connection

< Untested. From http://shadowmite.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=866 >

- Change the "AlwaysOn" dword value from "0" to "1";

-- You may be asked for your Vision ID/PW. Just leave blank.

-- Warm Reset

Please let me know if this works for you. I'm still testing.

The Vision duration registry edit from the 6600 works on the 6700. This edit allows you to see the duration of your Vision connection along with a button to disconnect it. You see it in the bubble that is displayed when you tap the Vision icon.

Click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

Click ControlPanel

Click Phone

[at this point, the buttom grey status bar should read \HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone'

Click the bottom menu 'edit'

Select new dword value

Change the value name to "Flags2" (no quotes).

Select the 'hexidecimal' button.

Type 10

Click ok.

You should now see in the 'name/data' section:

Flags2 16 (0x00010)

When done, reset the device.

PPC Friendly Sites

I've decided to post some sites that I came across that some of you might be interested in. I've listed 3 Portals and some PPC Friendly Sites I have saved in my favorites.

I use to use AVANTGO on my Dell Axim, just because I had no way to connect to internet live. Since I've owned my 6700, there is no better way to surf with a ppc then with PocketPC friendly websites....it beats having to scroll left and right to read contents.

Portals contain categories such as sports, news, games, entertainment, etc. Once you select the category, you will have a list of sites. Just click on the site you want to view, and if it is something you are interested in visiting, just put it in your mobile favorites. I personally checked them out using my PC at home, and just placed the ones I liked in my favorites under mobile favorites which sync to my 6700. I have also placed a few of my favorites sites below the portal links.

NOTE: THESE PORTALS ARE POCKETPC FRIENDLY AS WELL.

PORTAL #1

PORTAL #2

PORTAL #3

HERE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITES I'VE ADDED.....

amazon.com - Alot of us shop here.

Check out this new App: MSNBC.com Mobile Beta

Dont know if anyone saw this yet, but I just installed this app that is specifically for our type of pda phone and it is way cool. It gives you access to all of msnbc's news, videos and pics of the day without downloading them to your device and taking up space. Its like news and video on demand or something. Check it out.

You can install directly from your device by going to this link on your 6700

So you know how you get crappy images from the sprint proxy server? (like when you go to google and you see a grey box behind the compressed grainy google logo) Well, lets say you want to see pictures, but the real natural picture, and dont want the ugly compressed version, or lets say you need to download album art from the net to put into WMP10, you want colorful art right? Here's a solution.

Heres the correct reg edit:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Windows-> CurrentVersion -> Internet Settings -> 5.0 -> User Agent

change default to the following:

Mozilla/4.0 ; Blazer/4.0

make sure to do a soft reset and refresh your browser

Multi-NAI / Tethering Detection

The NAI (Network Access Identifier) is used by many cellular carriers to identify whether the handset is accessing data on its own, or is tethered to another device such as a laptop. This option is enabled by default, which tells the handset to use a different NAI when tethering. For those of you who purchased an unlimited data plan, and feel that your carrier is a selfish, hypocritical and greedy organization that should be dismantled by the FCC and sold off in a million pieces, you can turn this feature off:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\WModem]

"Multi-NAI"=dword:00000000
