Live Messenger on my MDA VArio III - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Got my new kaiser today. Used t-mobile with the £7.50 webnwalk package.
My problem is it doesn't seem to have any form of msn or messenger installed on it. It isn't under the start menu and isn't listed in 'Programs' either. The only thing I have relating to messaging is the start menu called 'Messages'
That just takes me to email setup or messaging with sms and such.
Do I have to install it? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys,
Jon

Firstly the £7.50 package does not allow IM software so not sure if they block it anyway...
But search these forums... it really doesn't take more than a couple of minutes to find the relevant cab file.

sorry, I have no idea what im looking for and what a cab is

Check the second stickied thread at the top of Kaiser forum. The windows live cab is in there.
<WHISPER>Don't tell T-Mobile but my £7.50 W&W plan doesnt block live messenger.</WHISPER>

ok, got the cab I need. I have no idea how to install it tho

Still searching for live or messenger or something like that would point you in the right direction
a simplistic view is that cabs are install files for mobile devices. either download direct on your vario iii or download on your pc and copy across using activesync / synccenter. then just use the file browser to get to it and run it. Voila messenger installed

All working. It also synced my email which it didnt seem to let me do via the normal "add an email account" option.
Thanks guys / gals

That always struck me as kinda weird. Considering IM traffic uses a LOT less bandwidth than web browsing does...

anyone have a cab for ICS? i had it on my WM6 wizard, but im kinda missing it on my 8925/tilt ive tried searching the forum here, but we all know how well the search works..
thanks
Are you sure it isn't in the Windows directory?
I've read in HowardForums several AT&T Tilt users are using Internet Sharing out of the box, but there isn't a Start Menu shortcut for it.

Any way to get back the Pocket IE welcome page?

Hi all,
Just got my 2nd new Kaiser (first one had White Screen of Death) and it also has the home page as a black screen with the HTC logo; not too usefull. Any ideas how to get back the Welcome Screen that has your most recently opened pages and search? Thanks for any ideas...
Ok, well I tried just copying over the default_0409.htm file (checked and all the image files etc. were already in the Windows directory). This brings up the correct looking page, but the Favourites and History buttons don't work; they open File Explorer at the Windows directory instead!
Would be glad for any ideas for what is missing on my Kaiser that I could copy over from the Hermes.
I have attached the file if anyone would care to have a look; I searched to see if any other html pages were linked for example, but I don't know script...
I tried the same thing but no luck
*bump*
Does no one else want this start page in IE? Thanks in advance for any ideas...
bump, that page is on the Mio A501 and it's pretty neat !
Guess no one else likes that page, thanks for the bump though! I have been fiddling but still can't get it to work....
Solved ------> HTC's PIE_Default_409.htm
Okay, There are two ways to do this!!!! The first is time consuming & involves multiple registry changes. I can walk you through it or send you a registry file to import (if you wanna trust me ) or you can do it the easy way!
Easy Way: I'm sure many of you have the absolutely great proggy SK Tools. Well, the new release (4.1.21.x) has a "Replaced Rom Files" function. So either buy the great program or download the trial. Launch the "Replaced Rom Files" tool & check the box for the item marked PIE_Default_xxx.htm (xxx = your language code), either click & hold or check the box, then select action, then select "Restore Rom File". Then enjoy your new "original" HTC PIE Homepage with expandale History & Favorites!

Not sure, might help if you post a JPEG of the screen? The TXT file you included does not work for me.
I just put together a cab file for this today using some files posted by another xda member (I don't remember who it was to credit them).

DANG IT YOU DOG! I jumped the gun on my post! I spent the last week flashing back & digging to find all the references that kept me from changing the by just importing the default_xxx.htm. I finished my cab & logged back in to post it & darn it all if you hadn't beat me to it!

LOL. It's pretty simple to correct with all the correct files. I actually just copied the files to my Windows directory when I first tried it out but figured I'd post a cab file to make it easier on everyone else
thanks for sharing, works fine on the Nike too.
Hi,
I tried running the CAB on my stock Orange HTC ROM, but I still get the orange homepage, not the (more useful) Internet Explorer page as promised above! Any ideas?
Your folder structure must be different. Did you soft reset after install? Otherwise you can do it with SK Tools if it was part of the original ROM.
I did soft reset, but no joy. I may look into SK Tools, although I have just managed to get Opera Mini up and running, so may play around with that instead. Thanks for the advice!

You can go into PIE under Menu, Tools, Options, and see the path and filename for your current homepage. It's possible that Orange uses a different filename as the default page. If you tell me what the filename is and where it's located I can make an updated cab for you.

Here you go. This file is for devices with the Orange ROM only!
You can uninstall the old one first.
Are you guys able to browse with PIE while on 3.5G/HSDPA?
After I open PIE, I receive this same screen on my Tilt, but I'm unable to browse anywhere (my hsdpa account is activated, of course).
I receive (in the bottom left corner) a message: "connecting", but nothing happens.
On the other hand, If I browse with WIFI on, using PIE, I can enter any URL without any problems at all.
In both cases, I can send & receive emails without any problems.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
As I replied to your other post, check your proxy settings. Which data plan do you have? Are you connecting to WAP or ISP?

Hmm.. no downloader for Tilt or any HTC models... maybe we'll have to try a different Windows Mobile phone? I will try 8525
EDIT: What the hell? Does this thing work off of Java? Like the midlet manager? Why isn't there just a cab or an exe? I'm confused...
How much different is it from the Beta?

Just connect from Kaiser PIE, and download it... it is java Midlet based browser... so no CAB nor EXE to install....
Cheers.
They don't have the kaiser listed yet but the one we want is the "advanced version", which is the one that all the other WM devices use. You don't want the "basic" one. It still prompts you for the stupid "trusted application" every time, I'll just have to hack the reg once again.
The best part: It displays the FULL web page in the browse. Not some hacked up, trimmed down page, but the full page. You then click on the area of the page you want to browse and it zooms in. You can then scroll around using your fingers (think touchFlo) or hit the magnifying glass to zoom out. Yes, it is kinda like the iphone, but it does work very nice.

About time!
Very Nice... As soon as the cab version comes out it will be even better!

It prompts for net access even with the high memory version.

Open up JBed, click menu, and hit "uninstall all".
This is my very first time using opera mini, and I must say I like it. Its working really well so far. One handed browsing is simple. Web pages look alot better, and work out better. One setting I changed was to make images medium quality instead of low. Otherwise, I like it. It is kinda like an Iphone.

the .jad you need to download with your mobile, the .jar is a pc download
Ok, one problem I see thus far. I can't save images. (I like to be able to download images)
Am I missing something?
everthing is perfect..except i cant watch youtube videos, download images, and wish if somehow they make the address entry more user friendly also the enter button. Another thing that is bothering me is the net access dialog, its is very annoying. And how can i make it into an program straight forward insted of going through java midlet.

was that in the terms and conditions? if so its just a warning that data charges can occur while using it if your network applies charges for data. if your on a data plan then dont worry it wont cost anything extra.
It's a java app, so, it won't be avail as a cab file. Opera Mobile is, Opera Mini is not. This is Opera Mini (which I love).

A lil bit o' help with E-Mail/Youtube

*sigh*
I just got the phone yesterday, and I've been messing with it all night. Great device and best I've owned yet, but unfortunately I'm having issues trying to setup Hotmail as my e-mail account. I did some research and some said to sign into Messenger and sync e-mail. But where is Messenger? Is it the messaging application that can sign you into Aim/Msn/Yahoo or an actual Live Messenger program on the device that eludes me?
The other thing is the Youtube Application. Yes I've found it but I'm unable to make it shortcut under programs or in start menu. I did download Total Commander but I'm new to this whole importing .cab thing. Is there anywhere I can find a guide to doing this without bricking my phone?
Any help would be mucho appreciated!
There is another thread on it somewhere. You need to highlight the cab and copy it then go to the windows, start menu, programs directory (I believe thats it) and copy a shortcut there.

When I created my shortcut to the YouTube app, the larger file did nothing. There's a 700kb and 50kb (my estimates could be completely off btw) and only the smaller file that I created a shortcut to launched the app.
Hmm ok. What about the hotmail issue though? Is it even possible or *must* I use gmail?

not at all, just open run windows live (I believe under games and apps) login, and then select hotmail.

btw, I have $50 riding that Randy Couture takes out Lesnar this saturday
wich carrier are you using?
I'm from holland and my TP ( Vario IV ) came with the stock T-mobile rom. If you are using T-mobile, chances are they left out MSN.
Suggestion : Flash your TP to a different rom ( I use ROMeOS 1.40.1, just like the rest of the world should , but no pressure )
Installing Live should'nt be a problem.
About the youtube thing : what hah2110 said is true.
hope this helps.
I'm using AT&T using the Fuze. I do agree with another comment I read concerning the difficult in using hotmail on a winmo device. It's kinda ironic. :\

thanks in advance...
Please can somebody copy the Youtube app from there hTC Imagio's using File Explorer windows/start menu/programs/youtube cab not the shortcut?
Or any other way of getting a hold of the Imagio Youtube.cab app?
Thanks in advance...

The problem is that I downloaded the youtube.cab file from the youtube site but the when i start the app it displays upside down when in the resting position using the kick stand, The new youtube version 2.2.15 isn't ment for the imagio. i have a unlimited everything with cricket, but when I got my imagio flash to cricket they didnt enable the multimedia message service (Picture messageing) on my phone so even if i go to the link and follow the steps and they send me a link to download the cab i cant download mms, if you could send me the cab or give me a direct link for the imagio youtube.cab, it would help....
P.S what is the version of youtube app the comes preinstalled with the imagio???
You should have stated that from the start. They will send you the cab through a text which will include a link. If you have a data connection you will be able to be directed to that link. If you dont have data setup then you have no need for a youtube app.
