Free Internet is relatively easy to explain. Your Samsung Jack has 3 forms of communication.

Bluetooth- connect to other phones to do data transfers

Phone- connection to your cellphone service provider (cingular, etc.) for voice & paid data plan via cellular coverage.

Wifi- data connection via wifi connections, much like your typical laptop that connects to wirless access points & on through a connection, say at home or in a coffee shop w/ free wifi.

to insure your only using service via wifi you simply go to the Wireless Manager on the phone (my Home Screen is the Windows Default so the Wirless Manager is a click away) & click on 'Phone' to turn of AT&T's connection, next click on 'Wi-Fi' to turn it on. Next, it'll show you available wireless connections in your area and let you pick on & then enter any wireless security passwords, then ask you if you want to save the credentials- which I don't normally save if it's a wireless name that is common, such as 'linksys'.

once it says your connected via wifi and the phone service is off you're good to go.

To turn your Phone service back on just turn the wifi off and phone back on.

This way you know that you know you're not using your providers data.

I also hold down the key that looks like a house on the Samsung phone to open up the task manager & exit out of the browser program I'm using to make sure it doesn't have an established connection to a website once I'm done using wifi & back on the AT&T connection.

Thank you so much! I thought there was a hack to do it, but i guess it's just that easy. i really appreciate this! Thanks again!

Anyone noticed if the Battery section of the Settings panel shows the % left or not on their Samsung Jack?

It doesn't appear on mine, my phone is app unlocked if that makes a difference.

I compared the registry entries on my Jack to some phones I recently flashed to WM 6.1 (Cingular 2125 & SMT5600) and WM 6.5 (T-Mobile Dash) and they appear to be the same.

Is another hack needed to get it to appear or do I have to copy some files over from another phone to get the remaining battery % to appear?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] mellojoe:
Is there a WM6.5 upgrade for this phone out anywhere?

Is there a ROM that can be used? Has anyone tried it? If so, can you point me in the right direction?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] zeke009:
I hope we see something from Samsung when 6.5 is officially released this fall.

I haven't seen anything yet and I've been searching for a forum geared towards Jack as this appears to be primarily a HTC site.

If AT&T blocks a Samsung upgrade, maybe we will see something appear here to upgrade our devices.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] horlickswim:
You can just have AT&T disable data connections to the phone too, but this disables your ability to send/receive picture messages.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] mattsnibbles:
Or you can just use NoData and disable Media Net. Then you don't have to worry about accidentally connecting ever, plus your MMS will still work...

Does anyone know how to change the factory FN keys? I want to set FN+W as a shortcut to turn WiFi on (like FN+B turns bluetooth on). Right now it turns Media Net on and that's stupid lol
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] tonygua:
I posted this on another site also, but here is what worked for me:

For all looking to change the predefined function keys on the Samsung Jack set by ATT, (I do not take any responsibility for the registry editing you do):

1) Unlock the phone and get a registry editor. Here is a good tutorial on how to unlock the phone and reg edit: http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2009/06...msung-jack.html

2) open the registry (I use mobile Registry Editor)

3) go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE => Software => Samsung => KeyRun

Note: "Key Run" is where the definitions for the function keys are set and where you need to do the editing. Once again, you are responsible for the editing you do. It is best to back up the registry before editing. Or at least record the previous settings before changing.

4) you will see each letter of the alphabet. Select the letter you want to change for example "C"

********************************************

If you want to remove the key settings so you can program it via Jack's Settings menu, do the following:

a) Delete all settings except (Default) and (Order)

b) Change the value of (order) to 0

c) close editor

d) on the Jack run: Settings => 7 More... => 6 Key Settings => 1 FN Key Settings => Show List

e) you will see that "C" is no longer there

f ) select: Menu => Add

g ) select the key you would like to assign the function (example "C")

h ) In the Value box select the program to run (example "calculator")

i ) now when you press "function C" the calculator will run.

*****************************************

To change the key in the editor: After selecting the letter you want to change in the registry, you need to edit each value as listed below:

AppPath: this is the .exe that you want to run (make sure you put in the full path): you can also enter the .lnk, for example: "\Windows\Start Menu\Organizer\Calculator.lnk" for the calculator

AppTitle: This is the name that will show in the list. If you set it to "0" or leave it blank, it should be the name of the .exe or the .lnk (in the above example "Calculator" will show)

Argument: this is any extra arguement that you want to run with the program (in most cases leave it blank)

Order: this is the order that it shows up in the list of Function keys (do not duplicate order numbers except for 0)

That is it, Good Luck

P.S.

I changed the other Jack predefined keys such as the GPS key and the ATT MediaNet key by editing the .lnk (shortcut) in the windows directory and redirecting it to the program I wanted.

Now when I press the GPS key it opens Google maps and when I press the MediaNet key it opens the Wireless manager so I can turn the wifi on and off. I haven't found the program name that turns wifi on and off, so I just have it start the wireless manager.

The name of the two shortcuts are:

MediaNet

AT&T Navigator

Conference calling

Has any one else noticed that since unlocking the phone they lost the conference call ability? Everytime I try I get the cannot conference calls message. I had my IT guy give me a new out of the box Jack and it worked fine with my sim in it so it leads me to believe that some thing was changed in the registry when I unlocked the phone. Does any one know the reg keys for conference calling on the Samsung? I have searched and cannot find it.

Thx

Samsung JACK SGH-i637 Hacks

Currently using a Samsung Jack i637. I was wondering anyone has figured out a way to increase the limit on number of people you can send a text to at once. You can only send a text message to 10 people at once, is there a registry change I can make to increase the size higher than 10?

I've never used a winmo standard device so I'm not sure about this...

It appears that samsung has used custom dialogs for many functions in the Jack. Ex: Volume control, confirmation dialogs etc etc....

Do the default winmo dialogs offer any benefit over these? (from a performance, functionality or aesthetics perspective? - I think the current dialogs look terrible!)

Anyone know any hacks or reg edits that will let me use the default dialogs? (If any...)

Also, are there any programs or hacks that will

a) Control the backlight better using the sensor.

b) Increase the volume

c) Generally increase the speed of the device

There were dozens of programs that would let me set the file system cash etc in my old HTC Gene (Pocket PC)... anything like that for the jack?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] zeke009:
This is my first Samsung device and I'm thinking it might be my last. HTC devices are more popular in the modding community and thus have more options.

I'd like to find a clean ROM for the Samsung Jack so I can dump the AT&T and Samsung specific applications/modification.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] charge1313:
I feel that too..

But I don't have a problem with the samsung rom per-se. The phone handles the crapware at&t and samsung install just fine and there are actually a few decent apps thrown in.

Look for blackjack hacks and stuff - that phone is MUCH more popular and 99% of the stuff out there applies to the jack too.

Samsung JACK SGH-i637 Hacks

I'm using an unlocked AT&T Jack i637 on the Fido network. For some reason my call display doesn't seem to be working properly.

-When someone with a Fido # calls me, my call display works.

-When someone with a Rogers # calls me, my call display works.

-When someone with a Telus or Bell # call me, it comes up as UNKNOWN, even if the person is in my contact list.

-And lately, some Rogers #"s are also showing up as UNKNOWN.

I called Fido and they can't help me out with it. Does anyone know if there is a solution to this?

font size; displaying emails older than 1 wk in exchange

I, too, recently obtained an i637. I have two questions for yall

1 can I make the font size any smaller? I understand settings -> accessibility allows me to change between normal and large, but normal's already pretty big.

2 My exchange email inbox only shows the last week's worth of email messages. I remember my HTC 8925 being able to display messages up to a month old. As hard as I look, I can't find any menu setting to change this as I did on the tilt. Any help?

thetering

Hello all, I got a HTC Tilt, or Kaiser, with the basic Data plan I am able to tether using internet sharing and setting this to medianet. The Jack has the same operatng system Windows 6.1 and this option doesnt show up. Anyone know a fix? I tried sending the bin, or exe from my tilt to it and it works but doesnt have the option. Any ideas??

Thanks.

Just trying to save my buddy $30 a month for the theter plan

Thanks in advance
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] zeke009:
I think you'd have to make sure the battery rating matches the Jack battery digit for digit before attempting (considering the connectors line up).
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] fernandezhjr:
The link in my post #4 is still good. You must do the unlock and you must delete or change the entry in the registry the article and video references. Then Media net will show up in Internet Sharing.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] charge1313:
I've managed to hack the medianet and navigator buttons on my jack. Basically that involved going into \windows, searching for the medianet and navigator .lnk files and editing them to point at something else.

I have medianet bring up the google mobile app and the navigator button activate voicecommand.

Which brings me to my second point - Unless I've missed something obvious there is no way to assign a H/W button to voicecommand (which comes bundled with the phone). This means that while voice command works great for reading out announcements etc etc it can't be used to, for example, place calls.

The solution is to make one of the H/W buttons point to \windows\voicecommand.lnk

I've set up the navigator button for this.

Basically you find \windows\AT&T Navigator.lnk and edit the properties so that it points to "\windows\voicecommand.lnk".

Is there a better (i.e. a 'proper') method for this?

I still haven't figured out how to re-assign the 'messaging' button though. I've tried re-assigning \windows\tmail.lnk but it doesn't work... (Now the massaging button does nothing. And yes, I've typed the path correctly. Am trying to get it to open flexmail.)

Any ideas?

Edit: I have a feeling that the messaging button doesn't call \windows\tmail.lnk after all... Any ideas as to what it does?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] mathow:
Oops...

When changing my MediaNet.lnk and AT&T Navigator.lnk files, I never backed up the originals. :o I assume those numbers and hash marks were important because now the shortcuts don't work for me. Can anyone post the original target of both of the shortcuts please? Thanks!

[edit: or just a working path to anything, please... I've triple checked for errors and there are none in the path so I must have done something wrong I guess.]

[edit again: I resolved this by doing the following: I wanted MediaNet to open Google Mobile App and GPS to open Google Maps, so, I copied the shortcuts to these apps from the '\windows\start menu' folder, renamed them accordingly, and viola, it worked! (figured i'd post just in case someone else has this issue. However, I guess I won't be able to put them back to the originals w/o a hard reset since I never backed them up, but really who would want to do that anyway?]

Thanks again for all these tips, I'm glad to be able to change those two buttons finally!
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] charge1313:
I have no use for either medianet and AT&T Navigator so I didn't really care about loosing the original link info.

However, I guess the same technique will work for these apps...

i.e. using

"\windows\start menu\AT&T Navigator.lnk"

and

"\windows\start menu\Media net.lnk"

(Including the quotes) as the targets for the .lnk files

I use total commander btw...

Edit: And you're welcome :)

I've upgraded as well. Works fine.

Although, it does very little. 6.5 seems to be nothing more than just bug fixes for the non-touchscreen smartphones. Nothing seems to be that different. Don't get yourself psyched up for this upgrade. Since it formats everything, it seems to be a lot of work for not a lot of benefit.

how long did it take to upgrade the phone. Mine seems to hang when "sending the partition table". Although I stopped it, it did not brick the phone.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] charge1313:
I may be wrong about this and it may not be true for the old 6.1 roms, but I strongly suspect that the messaging button activates

\windows\start menu\messaging.lnk

If that is indeed the case, just copy it and rename it to messaging1 or something and edit messaging .lnk to point to whatever you want!!!

I can't believe I missed this!

This also explains how I'd broken it earlier- I'd moved messaging to a subfolder!

Please try and update.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] mellojoe:
It wasn't long at all. Although I was watching Mythbusters (tivo'd) at the same time.

The thing that did cause me headaches was this: The power button now has to be HELD to power back on. Previously this was not the case, as I could press it and it would power on. Now, you have to press and hold.

I panicked at first. I pressed power and nothing... nothing... Finally I pressed and held.... and it worked. So, that was something new and unexpected.

[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] mellojoe:
CHomeConfig, when installed, made my JACK run real slow. It seemed as if it was thinking; as if there was some taxing program running in the background. The panels would move real slow. I uninstalled it, and it went back full speed.

Also, when installed, one panel would always be invisible when collapsed. There would just be nothing there but empty space. When it was the main panel, it was fine, but when the panel above it or below it was the main panel, there was empty space where the collapsed panel should have been.

As far as Titanium vs. Chome? The ability to move outside the panels... You can customize the panels to put data above or below the panel; you aren't just confined to the space within the panel. Thus, you could make the layout take up the full screen, and not just a small space.
