Ok, found it, but can't edit the shortcuts. When I go into menu -> edit, the option is blocked.

Any suggestions?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] fernandezhjr:
Download and use Total Commander.

[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] mellojoe:
there's a registry entry you have to tweak..

I think that's it.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] MrGST:
Thanks, I did delete that key and like I said, ICS runs and the two fields appear but there are no options to choose from and I can't add any.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] MrGST:
Btw, I have to install ICSInstall.CAB otherwise I get the IntShrUI.EXE is blocked error.

Are your Connections settings locked? Go to your Settings menu and under Connections look at the GPRS settings. If you see little locks on them, you will need to unlock them. They are locked in the registry. Go to HKLM > Comm > ConnMgr > Providers. Here you will see several keys. Find the one that has the Connections key. Within that key, you will have the keys for the AT&T IMS, ISP, and Media Net settings. Within each of those keys there will be a DWORD value named ReadOnly. Changing the value on these from "1" to "0" will unlock the settings. Also, one of the keys in Providers will have the key for AT&T Wap. You can do the same with it as well.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] MrGST:
Thanks, yes my Connections settings were locked and I was able to unlock them, however, I still do not have any options listed in the two fields in ICS. Where else can I look?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] fernandezhjr:
This sounds like AT&T may have put in some additional security since doing this was not needed with 6.1 and the default connections, using AT&T ISP, are already in place. The fact that there are no default settings and you were getting a block error is a good indicator of this. I am running 6.1 and can tell you, all you have done would get it working in 6.1 without any further steps. You need someone whom is running 6.5 and has it working to come along and confirm that it does in fact work and if any additional steps are required with 6.5.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] MrGST:
Thanks for your help...hopefully someone with 6.5 will post. I guess I shouldn't have upgraded to 6.5 so soon...
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] fernandezhjr:
The shutter sound is registered at HKCU>ControlPanel>Sounds>ShutterSound. You can try changing the file name in the registry to *none*, with the asterisks. It didn't work with my Windows phone. What I did was google a silent wav file and save it to my computer. I then renamed it the exact name as my shutter sound file and dropped a copy into my windows folder on the phone. It will tell you that a file with that name already exists and ask if you want to replace it. Just click yes and then reboot the phone. Then when you use your camera, it will still play the shutter sound, but it will be the sweet sound of silence. Then only downside is you will not be able to toggle it on and off. Also, you may want to keep an orginal copy of your shutter sound file in a different location on your phone or on your PC, just incase you ever want your shutter sound back.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] jack man:
I upgraded to 6.5 soon after it was released and I was able to successfully unlock everything just as I had in 6.1. If I follow you right, you say you're not able to see or change settings in Internet Sharing?

Interestingly enough, I am not really having any problems with 6.5. I have installed several apps from Marketplace, plus some of my own - with no conflicts or anything. I do see some of the minor bugs that I have read about, but not really anything that I believe causes a negative experience like some people have said.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] MrGST:
Yes, that's correct...internet sharing opens but the settings are blank.

I'm sort of grasping here, I tried resetting the registry...didn't help.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] jack man:
The first thing I would do is a hard reset. Do you know how to access the Admin Settings to do a reset? There are 3 options of resets in those settings - I would do all 3 to make sure it surely reset everything. Make sure you back up everything on your phone though.

If that doesn't work, I really don't know what to tell you. I wondered recently what would happen if I tried to reinstall the 6.5 update if it's already on the phone. That may be an option, but I think I would call Samsung before attempting that one.

If you need hacks for this phone let me know - I have a lot. I have also unlocked this phone to use with other carrier sim cards without a problem.

I'll look around a bit more to see if I can figure out your issue. Sorry I'm not any more help.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] MrGST:
Umm...how do you access the admin settings?

Can you post a list of your hacks? I may need something I don't know about :-)
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] smurfhell:
Ever since I upgraded to 6.5, my home screen has been slow to "render". When the display is off, if I press a button my background will show up, but it takes 1-3 seconds for the interface to show up (time, messages, etc)

I haven't really modified anything, and it has been doing that ever since the upgrade before I even had a chance to make changes. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm using the default Windows slider-style menus.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] jack man:
Here's a few for now... (I did all these after I installed ClearSecurity cab and deleted ForcedCellConnection in registry)

to do a reset of the phone (reset to original settings and format the phone:

- go to Admin Settings by typing *#1546792*#

- choose option 4.Internal. (the #2 selection - Preconfiguration - uses the same passcode mentioned in the next line)

- you will the need to type another passcode - *#81230*#

- choose 1.Reset

- you will have 3 choices. Whenever I have done a reset, I go through all of these so I know everything is deleted and reset.

be careful experimenting with the other selections in Admin Settings... I'm not familiar with all of it and don't know what all will happen if some settings are changed.

to view the lock status information menu type *#7465625#

Some things may be enabled or disabled in this menu.

Windows Mobile Startup/Shutdown

Has anyone tried to modify the registry to where the stupid AT&T gif(?) doesn't run so the phone can loadup/shutdown quicker? If successful, how? I tried once, but it failed (miserably)?

AT&T Wifi and using ICS

Has anyone been able to share the AT&T wifi connection to their laptop using their phone? I have tried it, but failed. I think the automatic credentials are needed for it to work if you look in settings/GRPS/add. The question is, does anyone know what those credentials are?

[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] anandoc:
I did a bit more research and it seems that the Radio is not able to parse the MDMF (Multiple Data Message Format) or SDMF (Single Data Message Format) data. Basically MDMF is used to send the Caller ID + Name and SDMF is used to send just caller ID. I wont go into more technicalities, however, without Rogers releasing a ROM for this phone, we wont get the RIL.DLL or the RILGSM.DLL files which do this parsing and display the caller id and/or name. Its weird because Rogers and AT&T should be using the same MDMF/SDMF format to send the caller ID data...but there could be very slight differences on how the networks operate.

It worked fine on mine.

I just installed the ClearSecurity.cab on the Jack. Hooked it to my PC, ran the Security Center thing and provisioned it unlocked. Then I uninstalled the SOTI Clear Secuirty. Everything works fine.

I don't know how to trouble shoot much... sorry. But, maybe if we find the link on the instructions it might help. Maybe?

clearsecurity file installation

hey, i just joined these forums and have no experience with hacking cell phones. I was just hoping someone could give me some very detailed descriptions on how to install the clearsecurity file onto my jack. All the other steps seem pretty clear to me after installing the clearsecurity file. Just having alot of problems installing that file. Thanks in advance.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] ChiefWilNel:
ok i got it fixed. i guess it didnt uninstall completely. I uninstalled it again and reinstall. has anyone gotten pc studio to connect with the jack in win7 64?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] BatmanSTL:
When you got Clearsecurity, did you install it onto the device in My Documents and not on the Storage Card? That maybe your problem. Once you get it installed onto the device, use PMH Registry Editor, and go to HKLM>Comm>Internet Sharing>Settings then hit the left key under where it says kets to get the ForceCellConnection string. Next, hit menu and delete. THat's it. Just make sure you uninstall MOBI Control Center, or whatever the name is, and your good to go.

[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] charge1313:
Hey, does anyone know how to get the phone to still use the mic on the device when I have headphones plugged in?

My jack came with a 3.5 mm adapter and I use it for music with headphones... But I'm forced to unplug whenever I get a call because the phone will NOT use the built in mic with headphones plugged in. I can hear the sound through the headphones buy the person on the other side can't hear my voice.

I believe its because the phone assumes that the headphone/adapter setup is a full fledged hands-free and thinks it has mic (which it doesn't)

I doubt this will take more than a registry hack to fix.... If not a simple setting somewhere...

Anybody?

Please?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] bobby0724:
There is no way to fix that you will need to get the hands free that have the mic

sorry
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] charge1313:
I'm not convinced.... It should be a simple matter of telling the phone where to get the sound input from. Shouldn't it?

I'll continue looking

Thanks anyways....

How do you get to the HCKU on a Samsung Jack to increase the ringtone size limit?

In reference to this hack: {Change ringtone size limitation:

HKCU > ControlPanel > Sounds > FileSizeLimit. Just edit the value to any size you'd like.}
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] charge1313:
You need a registry editor. I prefer total commander, its a program for your phone.

You may also use CeRegEditor - its a program for your computer and lets you edit the phone's registry via an activesync connection.

If you are uncomfortable with registry hacks (there is always the small chance that you will kill a phone by doing something stupid by mistake) you can use a program called 'jacktweak' by a company called careace (I think). It lets you apply a few hacks including letting you change the ringtone size limit to 16 Mb

Bear in mind that all of these (I am not 100% sure though) require the phone to be unlocked.

Search around on google and these forums - the programs are easy to find, the hacks simple to apply and unlocking your phone is a 2 minute procedure.

I hope I answered your question.

How to remove vlingo from silent key, tweak it on wm6.5., pocket dictionary SP

Instead of Vlingo, when tapping the Silent Key I want to start Voice Notes straight to "Record" function (like Dictaphone). Does anyone know a tweak?

(I already upgraded to WM6.5 and changed the media web button to skyfire, and the att gps to garmin)

Also, on my previous HTC Tilt there was a button on the side, which when I tapped it the display turns off and the device goes to 'sleep' stand-by mode (keys, screen don't respond, until there is phone call to wake up the device). On the i637 the button on the side doesn't do that - when I tap it it goes to shut down and such shortcut menu. Does anyone know how to tweak it to behave like the Tilt? (put it to sleep).

[Right now I have to wait like 30 secs before the device puts itself to sleep, so I just hold down the end button to 'lock' it and then put it in my pocket]

Do you think that the reason why you have to hold on the power button longer in order to start-up the device (after upgrading to WM6.5) is because somehow there are two sets of instructions for the phone to go by? [one is the old/stock 6.1 set of instructions, and one is the new 6.5 set)? If yes, then is there a way to completely remove the 6.1 (initial/stock stuff)? But yet, my HTC Tilt also has to be held down when booting up, and that was like that out of the box. Don't know if ATT did the upgrading on the Tilt to 6.1 though. But I do know that the Tilt that I have was ATT upgraded from 6.0 to 6.1 just don't know how they did it. Just mentioning the Tilt for comparison purposes. I need support only on i637.

Anyone knows any good (free) Pocket Dictionary for Smart Phone (non-touch screen)?

I just noticed this, since it is the first time that I actually went To MS Office, (and I went to it for the 1st time, after WM6.5 upgrade, so no i637 6.1 experience to compare). The MS Office WORD & Excel don't have any way to start a 'NEW' word or excel sheet. It just goes into browsing mode like searching for files. So I immediately went to the HTC Tilt and the Office to compare, and sure enough- for Tilt there IS a choice to start 'NEW' Word and Excel. In i637 the only 'NEW' choice is to start a 'New One NOTE' but not for Word or Excel. Any tweak, suggestions, comments?

Can someone post a working .cab for Smart Phone (non-touchscreen), turning the Jack i637 into a hot spot functionality, like the IPhone (announced as MyWi) ?

Did anyone figure out a tweak for the battery percentage? (% is not showing).

How can I start uninstalling some of the AT&T clutter, including successfully removing the start-up/shut-down AT&T 3g animation?

This post is getting way to long. Should we start a summary post? or can anyone summarize everything on the first page? especially from post#40 is awesome!

I have to admit that i637, though a non-touchscreen device, has so far many advantages over the Tilt. For one thing, I find it a lot faster and more convenient in the hand/pocket.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] charge1313:
I think the silent key points to /windows/start menu/vlingo.lnk

You can edit that link to start the voice recorder. If you want it to start recording on pressing the silent key you can use mortscript. Have a script start up recorder, wait a few hundred ms and then hit the correct softkey. Its fairly easy. Doing this makes sense to me too... so if I create it I'll post it here (or somewhere on these boards). But don't wait up and try it yourself.

I do the same - and I can't see the actual difference - the battery life you'll gain is negligible. There are more than a few apps which will sleep your phone though and you might want to get one which will lock and sleep your phone. You might want to use mortscript to do this too... Its up to you.

I seriously doubt it - OSs (including windows mobile) just don't work like that. I guess the hold down was a choice based on some logical reasoning of theirs (to prevent accidental start up or something weird...). It doesn't bother me personally. You can manually remove all the crapware AT&T loads. I've removed all the silly stuff from /program files/ and from the start menu.

There is a program (from MoDaCo) called DoNew. It adds this functionality.

The other way of doing this is to keep a blank word and excel documents on the phone and simply copy them whenever you need a new doc.

Its silly, i know but this has been a know weakness of office for smartphone for as far back as I can tell...

I'm pretty sure it exists. Try installing the pocket pc versions - they will usually work

I've noticed this as well. One way around is to install a 3rd party battery app. I am not aware of any tweaks - if you find one, please post :)

I've removed all the AT&T apps I didn't need from the start menu and from /program files. There are ways to remove the start-up animation etc.. you'll have to search a bit.

One tip: hacks and apps meant for the blackjack phones usually work on the jack too... exercise a little caution and common sense when using them but they will usually work.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] subzerobob:
No it doesn't! Why didn't you test before posting?

Sorry to tell you this but your reply just made this thread that much more longer and quite frankly meaningless... If I could find these things myself, I wouldn't ask you. Better way of doing is if you know where those things are, then post with links and .cabs. I think! Just had to say this to you, because it hurts to see my post butchered & without any real solutions... I just hope that someone will still read it and help out with real tested stuff.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] subzerobob:
This is how you do it (I found this on WMExperts forum, I am still going to test it, to make sure it works for non-touchscreen) Note: Being that this phone is non-touchscreen, some of the Pocket PC apps don't work right! Regarding the dictionary, there is smartphone version called PocketDict but it is not free... Also I tried using the Pocket Dictionary 2.5 (which I use on the Tilt) and it doesn't work, because i637 is non-touchscreen. I am sick right now (cough and flue) so very easily agitated when things get harder. That's why I am looking for the easy.

Quoting WMExperts on the DoNew:

No touchscreen. You can only edit Office documents out of the box. You can create new Office documents using a free app called Modaco DoNew which can be found here.
