    1. Start > Programs > Modem Link
    2. Select USB under Connections
    3. Ensure the Access point name is wap.cingular
    4. Tap Activate
    5. Insert the Getting Started CD that came with the phone. The modem drivers are located on the CD
    6. Connect the 8125 to the computer with the USB cable
    7. The "Found New Hardware" wizard should appear.
    8. Choose "Install from a specific location", then search for the best drivers.
    9. Follow the on screen installation instructions and select Finish

    Once the modem has been installed, create a new connection on the computer

    1. Create a New Connection: Start Menu > Control panel > Network Connections > Create New Connection
    2. Walk Through the Connection Wizard
      • Select Connect to the Internet, Click Next
      • Select Set up my connection Manually, Click Next
      • Connect using a dial-up modem, Click Next
      • Select Modem - HTC USB Modem (COM7), Click Next
        • COM port may vary
      • Type a name Cingular GPRS, Click Next
      • Enter *99# into the Phone number field, Click Next
      • Enter the User name: ISP@CINGULARGPRS.COM and Password: CINGULAR1, Click Next
      • Click Finish
    3. Click Dial on your Cingular GPRS Connection or from Network Connections right click and Connect.
    4. Your computer will now connect to the Internet via GPRS.

    Bluetooth Modem Setup

    First, we need to ensure the Cingular 8125 has bluetooth turned on and is discoverable by other devices. Follow these steps to ensure that:

    1. Start Menu > Settings > Connections > Bluetooth
    2. Ensure that both the Turn Bluetooth On and Make This Device Discoverable to Other Devices check boxes are checked.

    Now, on the computer, we need to pair the smartphone and the PC:

    1. Start Menu > Programs > My Bluetooth Devices > Search for Devices in Range
    2. Pocket_PC should show up. It will show up as your name if you have input your name under Owner Information under the Settings menu.
    3. Right-click Pocket_PC (or your name). Select Discover Available Services.Pairing should happen automatically and will ask for a PIN. Input the same 4-digit passcode in both devices when prompted. Try 0000.
    4. On the Cingular 8125, if a dialog box pops up, check Dial-Up Networking.
    5. On the computer, if a balloon pops up in your Quick Launch bar asking for permission, single-click it and confirm this action is ok and check the box enabling your Pocket_PC to always have Bluetooth access.

    NOTE: Unlike the Cingular 8525, which has a program called Wireless Modem, the Cingular 8125's version, ModemLink, does not have a Bluetooth option. We will be able to work around having a special program.

    1. Start Menu > Programs > My Bluetooth Places
    2. Right-click Pocket_PC, and select Dial-up Networking.
    3. When prompted, input the following settings:
    • User Name: ISP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
    • Password: CINGULAR1
    • Dial: *99#

    Now, hit dial. You should be connected to the internet! Congratulations! Visit http://www.internetfrog.com and visit the Broadband Speed link to test out your new connection speeds!

    Where to get it: Download the Cingular 2125 upgrade at the HTC site.

    What it does:
    • Big feature is Push Email. It's really really good and fast!

    What's wrong with it:
    • T9 text entry is having big issues ... if you type fast at all, it stops recognizing T9 and thinks you're holding down the buttons, triggering numbers instead of text. Not good. Solution/workaround: type slowly in text/email. (reported by Ben)
    • Also, there are reports of missed calls with the upgrade.

When a distributor or phone network wants to sell one of HTC's devices, it rebrands the phone to its own specifications, sometimes changing the color, the design on the case, and parts of the software. The smartphone also receives a new name. Because of the rebranding process, there are many phones with different names that are actually the same device. Below, each device is listed with its HTC codename first, followed by a list of a.k.a. (also known as) names of the device's various branded models.

    T-Mobile Dash (HTC S620) FAQ (Version 3.16)

    Last Updated: 11/30/2007

    Thank you to everyone at HowardForums.com, this thread at Qusers.com, XDA-Developers and a T-Mobile employee with too much time on his hands for all the tips and tweaks listed here! In one week, we cracked the essential elements of the Dash.

    IMPORTANT! Editing your Windows Registry will void your warranty and can render your device unstable which may require you to hard reset it. Always back up your registry and PIM information.

    Disclaimer: HTCWiki and it's users have no responsibly for any damages or inconveniences that may arise following the articles below and is provided for informational purposes only. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

    The first thing you can try is to use an application-unlock program for your phone in order to be able to change certain parts of the registry and install and run certain programs. Unlocking applications can be found in the "Applications" section below.

    FYI:
    • The Dash has no Infra-red and no Dial-Up Networking Bluetooth profile.
      • While there is no specific DUN Bluetooth, it does support Personal Area Networks to allow your Dash to act as a modem. This works great, and on T-Mobile I get about 96kbps. Please see the DASH AS A MODEM section to learn how you, too, can get internet on your computer.
    • The Camera Shutter Sound can be turned off directly in the Camera Applcation (Left softkey -> Press Down -> Press Left (should be on the "Advanced" page) -> Scroll down to "Shutter Sound" and set to off).
    • To delete the contents of any field in any app on the Dash, press the <- key next to the Red Button and below the right Soft key.
    • If you care/want, here is the HTC T-Mobile Dash manual
    • Extra Memory: the Dash uses microSD cards and accepts modules of up to 2GB. microSD is a newer name for the same standard that was earlier called T-Flash and Transflash. Simply putting a couple of applications (the "Application Unlock" piece of software, and a usable file transfer networking application, both linked to below) on a memory card is one way to start getting applications on the phone. Check www.dealstobuy.com , www.techbargains.com , www.buy.com, www.dealwatcher.biz (thank you hoopsbwc34 for the link), ebay.com....etc for deals.
      • (12/29/06) $69 (with shipping) 2gb microSD card
      • (7/9/07) 2gb cards are now around $20 from many sites including newegg.com

    What if something goes wrong, can I reset the Dash to its out-of-the box state (Hard Reset)?
    NOTE: Always back up your personal information (Contacts, Notes, etc). Files/Contacts stored on the SIM card and Micro SD card will not be erased.


    • Yes: you have 2 options...
    OPTION 1
    • Press Start -> Accessories -> Clear Storage, press enter to launch, you will be prompted to type "1234" and to press Enter. If you do this you will lose all contents and the Dash will be restored to its original configuration. It takes about 5 minutes for it do this and reboot.
    • If you are locked up and can't get to the Clear Storage utility, turn the phone off; hold down the two softkey menu select buttons (above the home and <- buttons); press power on while still holding the buttons down and follow the prompts on the screen. Timing is critical on the latter option, so if you miss it once, try again.

    OPTION 2
    (THIS IS WHAT T-MOB TECH SUPPORT WILL ADVISE YOU TO DO)
    MASTER RESET PROCEDURES UPPDATED ON 7/23/07
    I had to follow the correct steps twice before the reset took effect so don't give up after the first try. Start with Dash powered off.

    1. PRESS AND HOLD BOTH SOFT KEYS.
    2. WHILE HOLDING DOWN SOFT KEYS, PRESS AND RELEASE THE POWER BUTTON, WAIT 3-5 SEC. (PHONE SHOULD POWER ITSELF ON BY DOING THIS)
    3. RELEASE THE TWO KEYS SOFT KEYS.
    4. WHEN SCREEN ON DASH LOOKS LIKE IT'S IN DOS FORMAT, PRESS SEND (GREEN ANSWER KEY)

    GOOD LUCK!

    Applications


    Application-Unlock
    See important note at top of page about editing Windows Registry.
    1. Download the cab file and run it.
    2. Soft reset (restart the phone).
    3. You should now be able to edit the registry without restrictions and install and run any applications.

    Programming FAQ
    1. What do I need to get started programming for WM5 Smartphone?
      • A good start would be to get a LICENSED copy of Visual Studio 2005. It MUST licensed to develop mobile applications. The Express Editions will not work. (*cough* torrents *cough*)
      • Once you have VS2005, download the WM5 Smartphone SDK from Microsoft, the Motorola Q plugin from developer.motorola.com and install them.
    2. How do I use the Moto Q skin with the landscape image file?
      • Open VS2005, Tools -> Options -> Device Tools -> Devices. Select Moto Q as the default.
      • Create a new solution and select Mobile Devices -> Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone. Once inside the solution, check in the top left corner in the toolbar and make sure Moto Q is selected.
    3. What language should I program in?
      • This is totally up to you. I see C# to be the easiest, but VB.NET works too. I would not recommend C++ to a beginner. It is extremely difficult to develop mobile applications with it. However, they all do work as long as the phone has .NET 2.0 CF installed.
    4. I am getting some weird error when I try to run my program!
      • There can be many reasons why it isn't working, but if you can run the program in the emulator, but not your phone, make sure .NET 2.0 CF is installed on your phone. If it is and you still get the error, reinstall it.

    Ringtones and Alarms
    • Add .mp3, .wav, .mid files to \Application Data\Sounds\
      They will then show up in Start -> Settings -> Sounds for you to use as a ring tone or other notification.
    • T-Will came up with an excellent idea for the ones who need a "spoken/voice" ring tone
      Visit http://www.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php AT&T Natural Voice Technolgy, type the text, listen to it and download when satisfied, download in .wav format to your computer for you to copy to the Dash (via ActiveSync, Bluetooth, or other) and save in \Application Data\Sounds\
      This way could create a personalized alert for incoming calls, new e-mails, text messages, etc...
    • More free ring tones http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=66965 here (the MP3 Music type). Thank you Simon the author of that thread for doing all that work.

    Internet and Networking Tweaks
    Unlimited Internet With the $19.99 T-Mobile Total Internet Add-on
    1. Login to my.t-mobile.com.
    2. Go to "Plans and Services" and sign up for the Total Internet Add-on service.
    3. That's it! You should now have access to unlimited internet (INCLUDING the HotSpots!).

    NOTE: THE 5.99 T-MOBILE WEB SERVICE WILL WORK FOR REGULAR INTERNET ACCESS:
    The 5.99 service was intended for POP/Exchange/IMAP email forwarding and Basic WAP browsing only. However a proxy setting allows for full HTTP and HTTPS access. This method is not recommended as it is an unsanctioned workaround.
    The $19.99 Total internet addon is recommended for internet access and it is a full service (SOCKET & HTTP access plus unlimited Hot Spot Wi-Fi access). The information below may work for some people and may not work for other. Tweak at your own risk.
    Option:
    Windows Mobile 5
    Windows Mobile 6
    Unlimited internet with the $5.99 T-MobileWeb service:

    The $19.99/month T-Mobile Total Internet package is not required to have unlimited internet access on the Dash, instead the $5.99 T-MobileWeb (t-zones) service is all you need. Note the following limitations to the T-MobileWeb internet service:

    a: The internet applications on your device will need to have an option to specify a connection to a proxy server, if it doesn't have this option then the application most likely will not be able to access the internet.

    b: The following applications will not work over T-MobileWeb: MSN Messenger, Agile Messenger (without the proxy option), some streaming media, Hotmail, Pocket MSN, Windows Live Applications, and Java applications.

    To setup the internet connection over T-MobileWeb (t-zones) follow these instructions

    • Add the $5.99 T-MobileWeb service to your current voice plan (it may take up to 72 hours to activate, but typically takes less than 24 hours).
    • Follow the righ instructions to setup the Dash (or any Windows Mobile Smartphone). Choose the instructions for either Windows Mobile 5 or Windows Mobile 6:
    1. Add the T-MobileWeb (T-Zones) Proxy Connection
      Start Menu -> Settings -> Connections -> Proxy -> Menu -> Add
      Description: T-Zones Proxy
      Connects from: WAP Network
      Connects to: The Internet
      Proxy (name : port): 216.155.165.50:8080
      Type: HTTP
      User name: <blank>
      Password: <blank>
      Press Done.

    2. Configure the Existing Data Connection
      Start Menu -> Settings -> Connections -> GPRS -> T-Mobile Data -> Menu -> Edit
      Connects to: WAP Network
      Access point: wap.voicestream.com
      User name: <blank>
      Password: <blank>
      Primary DNS: 0.0.0.0
      Secondary DNS: 0.0.0.0
      IP address: <blank>
      Press Done.

    3. Configure Pocket Internet Explorer
      Start Menu -> Internet Explorer -> Menu -> Tools -> Options -> Connections
      Uncheck "Automatically detect settings".
      Select Network: The Internet (Must be set to "The Internet" to work over WiFi. Try "WAP Network" if you're having trouble over the
      EDGE/GPRS connection)
      Press Done.

    4. Configure Messaging (follow these steps for POP or IMAP email accounts that have been manually setup)
      Start Menu -> Messaging -> Highlight your email account -> Menu -> Settings -> Press Next twice
      Select Network: WAP Network
      Press Next three times then Finish.
    		 1. In Settings/Connections/GPRS/T-Mobile Data:
    Tmobile Data     Connects to: WAP Network
    Access Point: wap.voicestream.com

    2. Add a 2nd and 3rd GPRS options:
    T-Mobile MMS
    Connects to: WORK
    Access Point: wap.voicestream.com

    3. Then create ONE Proxy:
    Settings/Connections/Proxy

    Name:Tzones Proxy
    Connects from: WAP Network
    Connects to: The Internet
    Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
    Type: HTTP

    4. In connections, click menu, then advance and set ALL connections to AUTOMATIC

    5. To get the Exchange Server working:
    (    Exchange Server settings)
    Options/Advanced
    Connection: Internet

    6. To get Pop mail accounts working:
    (This will need to be done for each account you have)
    Options/Account settings/Advanced Server Settings
    Network Connection: Work
    NOTE! The option to select which way to connect isn't available until you finish creating the POP account (go back in and change to: Work)

    7. To get IE working:
    (In Pocket Internet Explorer) Menu/Tools/Options/Connections
    Check "Automatically Detect Settings"
    Select Network: WAP Network


    That should do it! Not all applications will work with this configuration, but Messaging (Exchange/POP3/IMAP) and Pocket Internet Explorer will work. Credits for the WM6 instructions to go http://dashapps.googlepages.com/ ! If the above instructions don't work, try completely deleting the connections and re-adding them.





    How to Change the Pocket Internet Explorer Home Page when using WM6
    1. With a registry editor navigate to "HKLM\software\microsoft\Internet Explorer\About URLS"
    2. Change key "home_0409" to the URL you want to use. For example: http://www.google.com
    3. From now on, when you open PIE, it will automatically go to the URL you have set.

    JOGGR and Keyboard
    • Enable the JOGGR: This will disable it as a volume control, and enable it as the default JOGGR functions (back, scroll, email).
    • - or -
      • Edit: HKCU\ControlPanel\JogBar\Settings\SwitchToAudioFunc to 0
      • Remap the JOGGR Keys
      • Bottom JOGGR "Button"
      • HKCU\ControlPanel\JogBar\Settings\BottomKeyApplicationName (replace with app of your choice)
      • and
      • HK_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\JobBar\Settings\BottomKeyAppParameter (leave empty)
      • Top JOGGR "Button"
      • HK_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\JobBar\Settings\TopKeyApplicationName (ditto)
      • and
      • HK_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\JobBar\Settings\TopKeyAppParameter (ditto)

    Remapping Keys (Two method)
    • ***First Method - How To Edit the Keyboard Link
    1. Download http://vieka.com/wordpad.htm Vieka WordPad.
    2. Sync your phone to your PC.
    3. Run CE Notepad on your computer and open any of the following files:
      T-Zones Button: "\Windows\Short_IE.lnk"
    • ***Second Method if you have Total Commander - this can be done on the Dash directly.
    • Navigate to \Windows\Short_IE.lnk
    • Edit it (to one of the suggestions below for instance), save and reboot.
    • Recommended Remaps
    • CommManager: 36#"\windows\CommManager.exe"
    • Task Manager: 19#\Windows\IA_Task_Manager.exe?:TaskManagerApp
    • Internet Explorer: 36#"\windows\iexplore.exe"
    Switch Text Input Mode (XT9 English, ABC)
    • The Dash defaults to the XT9 input method, in order to change the input method for an application follow these instructions. Note, after a restart the Dash will default back to XT9, and at this time there is no known setting to make ABC the default text input method.
    • Press Alt+Space in each app.
    • This key sequence doesn't seem to stick throughout the system so it needs to be done for each application separatley.
    • Input the Alternate Symbol/Letter Easily
    • Press and hold any key to input its alternate symbol/letter.
    • For Example:
      If you want the !, press and hold the M key until it shows up.
      If you want the ?, press and hold the H key until it shows up.
      and so on...this works with any of the keys.
    • NOTE: This only works on the T-Mo Branded Dash! Does not work on the HTC S620

    FYI: Keyboard Mappings in Pocket Internet Explorer
    • 2 (E) = Up
      8 (C) = Down
      to scroll up or down quickly while browsing.

    Speed Dial attributes work for Contacts and Programs
    • Highlight a contact, press right softkey (Menu) and choose Add Speed dial. You can then chose a non-already-used number between 0 and 99.
    • Same method for programs! Go to Start -> Highlight an app and press menu -> As Above.

    Phone Calls and SMS
    • Change the Dial and In-Call Screen Background
    1. Copy \Windows\BackgroundImage_Land.bmp and \Windows\_BackgroundImage_Land.bmp to your PC or a backup folder in case you want to restore these in the future.
    2. Make images with dimensions of 320 x 186 with the same names as the files above above.
    3. Copy the new images back to the \Windows\ folder and overwrite the old files.
    • Shut Off or change volume of the Beep that Occurs When a Call Is Initiated
    WM5:
    1. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\InCall2
    2. Change String/Value InitVol to 0 to silence, to any other value to change its volume.
    WM6:
    1. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\CallStart
    2. Change String/Value InitVol to 0
    • Quick Speakerphone During Call

    • Call Waiting Alert Volume (when already in a call)
      • You can adjust this in Start -> Settings -> Accessibility
    • How to Delete all SMS (text messages)
      • There is a sort of easy way to delete all texts. Go to the text message account and then hit menu and go to Folders, then in that screen hit menu again and go to Manage Folders. Now you can select the folder hit menu and clear test messages should be an option. Took me a little while to find this one out.
    • Disable the "Message Sent" notification after sending a text message by following these steps:
    1. Navigate to: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox
    2. Create a new key "Settings"
    3. Create a new string value "SMSNoSentMsg" and set the value to 1
    • Create contact groups for text messaging
      • WM5/6 Are both lacking the ability to create custom groups for text messaging, rather than selecting each contact individual. However, there is a simple way to get around this.
        1. Create a new contact and name it based on who will be in the group
        2. Add a phone number into the mobile number field followed by a ">" and a semi-colon ";"
        3. follow that with up to 20 phone numbers each seperated by a semi-colon
        4. should look like: 5555555555>;5555555555;5555555555; etc
        5. Text everyone in your phone at once!

    Smartphone FAQ's
    • Does the Dash have Word/Excel?
    Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone Edition does not include the Office Apps. However, it is capable of viewing Office formatted files thanks to a few apps which come with the device (found in Start -> Applications).
    Windows Mobile 6 Smartphone Edition does include Word, Excel, and Powerpoint Mobile.
    • Does the Dash (Smartphone) have a notes application?
    No, Microsoft includes a mobile version of OneNote2007 (part of MS Office 2007) that can be installed at the same time you install it on your PC. If you already have installed OneNote2007, you can install it by going to Tools>Options>OneNote Mobile
    There also are third-party notes application such as http://www.syncdata.it/ Smartphone Notes or http://www.phatware.com/phatnotes/phatnotesphone.html
    Phatnotes Smartphone Edition must be used. Both of these also support syncing with Outlook Notes.
    • I'm trying to delete/move a shortcut from the Start Menu, but after I soft reset my phone the shortcut is back! The shortcut keeps reappearing because it exists in ROM, therefore, it can't be permanently deleted. Follow these instructions to keep it from showing on the Start Menu:
    1. Use a third-party file manager such as http://resco.net/smartphone/explorer/ Resco Explorer.
    2. Navigate to the \Windows\Start Menu\ folder.
    3. Select the shortcut and open the Properties screen for that shortcut.
    4. Check the "Hidden" check box.
    5. Soft reboot your phone.

    Dash and Mac OS X

    Email and Exchange (Push Technology)
    • There are several companies/web sites offering free or inexpensive Microsoft Exchange Servers to use with the Dash or any other device supporting Push technology.
      Here is one I can vouch for: http://live.mail2web.com/ Mail2web Live - There are two types of accounts: 1) "Free" or 2) "$4.95/month" account.
    1. Free - Use this account if you don't mind having the email that you reply to from the Dash look like it's coming from yourname@mail2web.com
    2. $4.95/month - Use this account if you prefer to keep your own email address when replying to email on your Dash. This also gives you SMTP and POP3 access if you want to check the email received in your mail2web account on your PC with a mail client.
    NOTE: The $1.99 plan you read about on many message boards is now $4.95.
    • How to also Sync your Sent Items Folders (Save Sent Items is selected but Sent Items is Empty)
      Assuming your settings are already in place for Outlook/Exchange/POP3 accounts:
    1. Press Start -> Messaging -> Outlook email (or any Other E-Mail Account you want to fix) press enter (central button) -> Menu
      -> Choose: 3 Folders -> Menu -> Choose: 2 Manage Folders
    2. Once there scroll down to Sent Items and you should see on the right key, Sync, press it and your Sent Items will from now on, sync with Exchange or your other email accounts (meaning your sent email will be remembered and stored in Sent Items).
    • Gmail With All Features (Report Spam, ability to label email, etc.) on the Dash (or any Windows Smartphone)
    1. On your PC login to your Gmail account.
    2. On the bottom of the page click "basic HTML".
    3. Type the address (URL) from your PC's browser into the Internet Explorer Address Bar on your Dash and select Go.
    4. Once your Gmail account opens, add it to your Favorites, then use this link in the future if you want to access Gmail with all features.


    Displaying Chinese (& other regional) Text

    I was looking for an easy way to get IE and Skype to display Chinese characters and came upon: http://www.airfagev.com/howtos_details.asp?id=77
    1. Locate segoe.ttf & segoeb.ttf from your \Windows directory of WM5.0,
    2. copy the 2 files to \Windows\Fonts directory of the WM5.0
    3. Locate simsun.ttc from your WinXP Windows\Fonts directory, copy the file to \Windows\Fonts directory of the WM5.0
    4. Edit your WM5.0 registry with the following

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontPath]
    "FontPath"="\\windows\\Fonts"

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink]
    "Segoe Condensed"="\\windows\\Fonts\\simsun.ttc,NSimSun"

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI]
    "FontLinkMethods"=dword:1

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\SYSFNT]"Nm"="NSimSun"

    5. Note: Simsun.ttc is a chinese font, you may wanna replace it with a regional font. NSimSun is the actual font name for Simsun.ttc, therefore remember to rename the value is Step 4 Nm=FontName
    DASH AS A MODEM
    - Share that EDGE goodness to your computer!
    - Using your DASH as a modem REQUIRES the T-Mobile Total Internet add on.

    Using the Dash as a USB/Bluetooth Modem to access the internet on your computer
    • Where is DUN on the Dash? Gone (in all WM 5.0 AKU3 devices by the way). Enters: PAN.
    • Menneisyys has done a great write-up HERE. Thank you!
    • Just a note: I read somewhere that you had to have activesync installed on the computer you are using with PAN, this is not true, I used a belkin usb bluetooth adapter to create a PAN network, without activesync installed. Worked like a charm.

    Bluetooth DUN woes:
    Several people have complained or realize they cannot connect their DASH via Bluetooth DUN to their Pocket PC devices, Nokia internet tablets, etc . T-Mobile can only apologize for the inconvenience and try their best to get the issue resolved, usually the issue eventually gets transferred to the Tier 3/ Wireless DATA services department where the final word is those setups are not supported. MSDN blogs will give you the latest updates on what Microsoft developers are thinking about regarding the Windows Mobile operating system. For example, in one blog, a WM developer gives his detailed insight on why Microsoft has removed the Bluetooth DUN protocol.

    Is it possible to use a WM5/WM6 DASH as a modem on a PC or MAC?
    Introduction:
    The "modem" functionality is disabled and replaced with a program called "Internet Sharing" which allows you to simply connect the DASH to the computer without creating a manual DUN connection or adding the AT commands.

    The term "...as a modem" is still widely used in the technical departments of T-Mobile, though it was originally meant for modems that accepted the Hayes AT command set.
    Conclusion:
    Yes, it is possible to to use your DASH as a modem, below are the supported setups.
    System Requirements: Windows OS (preferably Windows XP SP2 or Windows Vista) USB: Activesync 4.2 or higher (Win XP) / Updated version of Windows Mobile Device Center (Win Vista). Bluetooth: internal Bluetooth or external Bluetooth Adapter on PC

    1. PC USB
    1. Make sure you're not connected to any other internet network on PC
    2. Connect USB cable to computer (Activesync may attempt to synchronize)
    3. Go to Start>Accessories>Internet Sharing
    4. PC Connection: USB
    5. Network Connection: T-Mobile Data
    6. Press Connect (the top left Soft Key near the green handset button)
    7. Browse the web (I.E. Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari, etc)

    2. PC Bluetooth (assuming the device is already paired to your computer and USB cable is unplugged)
    1. Make sure you're not connected to any other internet network on PC
    2. Make sure Bluetooth is ON (on phone)
    3. Go to Start>Accessories>Internet Sharing
    4. PC Connection: Bluetooth PAN
    5. Network Connection: T-Mobile Data
    6. Press Connect (the top left Soft Key near the green handset button)
    7. Browse the web (I.E. Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari, etc)
    How to use your WM5/WM6 DASH as a modem on a MAC
    System Requirements: Bluetooth: OS 10.4.9, a Mac Computer :) USB: Parallels

    1. MAC USB: Not officially supported (T-mobile Tech support only provides best effort support). The fellow DASH/MAC enthusiasts at Hackszine.com have published a workaround using Parallels desktop.
    2. MAC Bluetooth:
    1. Make sure you're not connected to any other internet network on MAC (e.g. disconnect from Airport)
    2. On the Dash, turn on Bluetooth and put it in discover mode.
    3. Pair the Dash to the Mac from the Bluetooth menu.
    4. Go to Start>Accessories>Internet Sharing
    5. PC Connection: Bluetooth PAN
    6. Network Connection: T-Mobile Data
    7. Press Connect (the top left Soft Key near the green handset button)
    8. On the Mac, click on Bluetooth icon on the menu bar> "Join Network on T-mobile Dash" (name may vary).
    9. Browse the web (I.E. Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari, etc)

    GMAIL and IMAP on Dash If you begin to experience severe battery drainage and/or memory problems, AND you have IMAP installed (I am using Gmail as an example because I have tested it), you must consider the following: IMAP constantly downloads IMAP folders and messages. This can be a problem if you have a lot of files and folders in your Gmail account. After unplugging my dash from a full charge, I noticed that within a half hour (of non-use) the battery would read at 3/4. I found that by disabling the automatic send/recieve for the IMAP account by setting it to manual will solve the battery issue.

    LOOKING for the following

    • Mac users to come up with their findings and comments.
    • How to change the keys assigned to unlocking the keypad (*). This arises as an issue in particular for the lefties. I suppose Space bar or the Right Menu Key would be good replacements.
    • How to disable XT9 permanently! (Upgrade to WM6)
    • A way to re-enable DUN under WM AKU3. It seems it wasn't removed just disabled.
    • How to back up your PIM (Personal Infomation Manager) File (contacts/notes/etc)
    • WM6 Specific section, e.g. Error 260 on DASH WM6 update, Requirements(AS 4.5, etc)
    • AN INDEX FILE!
    • A PAGE COUNTER!

    Wizard

    The Cingular 8125 (also known in Latin America as QTEK A9100) takes the features and power of the 2125, a world phone, a messaging device, and an entertainment center and ratchets up the functionality with large QWERTY keyboard and bigger display. The Cingular 8100 is the same but without the camera.

    This device is very similar to the T-Mobile MDA, the QTek 9100, and other HTC Wizard WIZA100-based devices, with most of the differences being with the buttons and with the keyboard design, but there may be some hidden differences. Check the T-Mobile MDA pages for more information.

    This device uses Windows Mobile 5 (WM5), so software and tips intended for other WM5 devices may work on this one also.

    Microsoft has an interactive page which shows most of the external features of the phone. Not mentioned on this page are:

    Reviews:


    The Register - "It may sound like an escort agency, but that hasn't prevented it being picked up by Europe's key networks and plenty of others around the world."

    MoDaCo - "Although this device is going to be targeted at the business user its capable of a lot more. Games play very well and the joypad (bug aside) is great for everything I've thrown at it. "

    Review from User Nashev: At current time it have only five imperfections -
    1. mechanical joint for slider keyboard (IMHO, this keyboard is rarely needed feature)
    2. not so fast processor with not so much memory
    3. absence of GPS
    4. not supported SD HC
    5. full format socket for mostly used memory cards and SDIO devices
    6. Operating system MS Windows Mobile 2003 SE, norinexplicably popular 2005 or 2006 versions with ugly bottom buttons
    7. 8(eight!) programmable hard buttons and bidirectional slider for very useful binding user programms and functions. I bind screen rotation, book, mp3 player and brightness adjusting to some of then and now very happy! In all later devises essentially less buttons, and more - 2 of them impudently binded to MS bottom screen buttons!
    8. WiFi
    9. BlueTooth
    10. IrDA
    11. and - of cource GSM/GPRS

A New version of Telenav was released and users only need to uninstall their current version of Telenav and use the Telenav Plug-in to locate and download the updated version. Once the new version has been installed, this issue should be resolved All you need to do is uninstall the current version of Telenav by going to Start>System Tab>Remove Programs. Next, Soft Reset your device after the removal and then use the Get Telenav Plug In on your device to get the updated version.

    There have been reports the Today screen flickering on the AT&T Tilt.
    The flickering reported is limited to the Today screen on the device and only impacts sections of the Today screen (calendar section, program plug-ins, etc.) and not the entire display.

    Or, alternatively to simply stop the flickering without the need for any download, just disable the Telenav from the today menu Start->Settings->Today - Items tab, uncheck TeleNavPlug. You will still be able to use Telenav, as this only disable the Telenav plugin from the Today screen, to run Telenav use the menu on top or go to Start->Programs->Telenav.
