I agree...Great thread. all in one place. (the pinned one was too but i like this better). Dont move it as this can be built on.

On the subject of the GPS. I have fired mine up with GPS test 10 times or so now and it takes nothing to get a lock (I am in different areas too). Key is it always has to be outside. Even my HOLUX 236 BT GPS reciever takes forever to get a lock inside if ever...it has the same chipset as the BJII....outside will always get results.

Although not a tip I want to push an idea for the BJII GPS...I want to see a bridge/serial port replicator type hack to get the internal GPS seen as a wired type GPS or serial device. I think this is all that is needed to get standalone apps working with the BJII GPS. Most apps out now that work on the BJII have some sort of option for bluetooth or serial device. Bluetooth isnt going to work so a bridge/software connections need to be in place to fool the app the GPS is there. Is this possible. God it sounds plausible but I have no experience in this field.

Tom Tom for example has 4 options for a reciever..Bluetooth, wired, tom tom BT device, or "other NMEA GPS device"...could the last option be the answer!!! I take "other NMEA GPS" device to be serial port type and of any manufacture!!! I could be way off but modding the app seems difficult if not impossible but making a bridge seems, well..plausible. I could be totally wrong but I dont want Google Maps/WLS or some other DATA based GPS as my only solution . If the GPS test app can get NMEA data without cell towers (I have no data plan or settings in my phone for it to use) I think it's gotta work fine independently.

Can anyone with good phone hack skills get on board and help make this GPS thing really happen...the com 4 port mod was the start. Now it needs expansion.

7. Press "Value" (left softkey) and navigate to and set the following values accordingly:
# 1001 --> Change to 1
# 1005 --> Change to 40
# 1017 --> Change to 144
8. Reboot your phone again


What do those changes in values do? or what are they for?

[thelostsoul]

They are policies for the phone's security. TBH, I'm not certain they have any effect after running the cab I linked to in the earlier step, but I wanted to ensure a complete procedure, and that was how I did it successfully. If you (or anyone else) has any further explanations or methods, please post and I'll update it!

Thanks to the other additions I've added btw!

Has anyone else had any trouble using these methods? I followed the instructions to change the homepage (changed to http://google.com tried http://www.google.com as well), rebooted and it still wants to go to http://home ...

If anyone could shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hmm...I'm going to have to hard reset my phone soon, so I'll experiment with this one for a while then and post if I come up with anything...

[MadHermit]

I have a question about the Hard Reset. I know you loose all your contacts but do you also loose all you carrier settings? Im with AT&T and wanna do a HArd Reset and start fresh.........?? Thanks and by the way Great Forum!

[thelostsoul]

Not exactly sure which carrier settings you mean, but settings such as Caller ID (Hide my ID, etc) are lost as well as Voice Mail number, and all connection settings. If you're not sure, assume it gets lost. Feel free to ask about something specific though...


There are two ways to backup your contacts though. Well, there are more, but here are two good options:
Copy all to SIM card. Resetting will not clear anything on your SIM card.

Setup an account at Mail2web, then go into activesync (on your phone) and press menu - add server source. Enter "mobile.exchange.mail2web.com" as the server, and all your account details that you just made. Your username must include @mail2web.com. Then set it to synchronize your contacts and any other data you want, and everything will be backed up there. Then after you reset, go back into ActiveSync, press Add server source, and add all the details again, sync the stuff you want back, and you're good.

That sounds a lot more complicated than it actually is btw

Install that CAB, then press Start - RegEditSTG

Making a Java application not ask for network access constantly:

1. Install the application you need to set the network permissions for.
2. On your phone, launch JBlend (Start - Applications - Java)
3. Starting at 0, count the applications until you reach the one you need to set it for. (for example, the first application is 0, second is 1, third is 2, etc)
4. Download the zip that is attached to this post.
5. Extract the file inside it and rename it to the number of your application (dot) mss - for example, if on step 3 I counted that my application was 4, then I would name it "4.mss"
6. Copy the file to your \windows\java directory, selecting yes to overwrite if asked.

Now launch the application and your permissions should be set. If not, open the application's settings and the options to allow always should be available.

If it still doesn't work, you probably counted wrong, or have add/removed applications. Remember, if you're list looks like this:

BrainChallenge
MySpace Mobile
PEOPLE Mobile Demo
Midnight Pool

Then BrainChallenge = 0; Myspace = 1; People = 2; Pool = 3; next application = 4, etc. This will change if you install and uninstall applications. However. If you have, there is no way to definitively tell which number it is. You will have to simply try various numbers until you get it.

Yeah I gotcha there, what I was wondering is the phone is ATT branded and you know how they have there settings in there, nothing that I put in there, I guess what I mean will the phone be like just out of the box? With all ATT stuff on there?

Oh, yep, unfortunately....but that reminds me to update my unlocking method...turns out the one cab is good enough!

Good deal, I really appreciate it! Just getting to know this thing is tricky

Has anyone tried the full YouTube hack? Aparently you can go directly to the websites to view...How well does it work?

[thelostsoul]

It works great! You just go to the youtube site, and whenever it detects that you're trying to go to the site, a popup menu comes up and gives you 3 options "play video" (stream) "save video" or "Linked page" (which just loads the page, but you really can't play it like on a PC. The other two options will use TCPMP to play it, and it's really good. Over edge, streaming is obviously too slow, but it's just like using vTap kinda. Save video seems to only work with youtube, and does work with some of the other video sites.

Sweet. I am going to try it out.

[BRaVO503]

you can completely remove the startup and shutdown videos if you delete the values in

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>>System>>Shutdown>>1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>>System>>Startup>>1

it will replace them with a picture of some type of logo

Alright now all I need is to get the old game Centipede on this phone, loved that game! Any Help?
