Some questions I have.

[phuKKah]

I just recently bought a Dash as a regular phone/ emulator on the go for cheap.
I started flashing the day of my purchase, testing out different wm6.1 roms.
Some questions I have I think I have the final verdict for, but if anyone would like to share a difference, that would be lovely xD

1. What are t-zones?
[Seriously, I can't for the life of me find this, not even on TMO's site.]

2a. Is there a way to fix the 'Communication Error' in OZ Messenger on roms other then TMO's official rom?
[As far as I've seen, some people say it works if you install it to the device instead of a storage card, but others say it just won't work outside TOM's official roms.]

2b. If not, is there another app that uses SMS for instant messaging?
[I have no data plan, and don't plan on it yet.]

3. What's the [E] at the top of my screen?
[Edge?]

4. How can I add start menu shortcuts?
[Some say just press copy on the file then go to the location and 'paste shortcut' but it's grayed out in the options.]

5. Is Office mobile any good at all?
[Ehh?]

6. I've found a tut to cook roms in another section, but is it phone specific?
[I'm surprised there isn't one stickied.]




I promise, this is the last post of noob questions I'll post haha.
I've read up alot as of late, and this is all I couldn't find solid answers to.

1. t-zones is basically the internet for the phone (not wifi) it connects and does the same as wifi w/o having it on but you will need to pay for unlimited web access from the provider or find a proxy if your too cheaphttp://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Excalibur_WM61tzones
the way t-zones should be set up in wm6.1 start/settings/connections/gprs/

either create a t-zone by selecting menu/add/t-zone
open it up to config
connects to:The Internet
access point: wap.voicestream.com
and dont mess with the others hit done..open PIE then go to menu/tools/options/connections/check the box automatically detect settings/select network- wap network.. and you should be done(i just threw that out there u might already know how to do it)
2a. i don't know never tried it

2b.i'm pretty sure there is u just have to search i remember some later posts saying something about it but dont remember the posts..search use google also b/c theres other forums besides xda like htc has their own forums and etc. http://www.palringo.com/en/gb/

3. do you not have a manuel that came with your phone when you bought it? Displays the network or connectivity status.

4. i'm not a tech support but you can find something about the registry editor that can do this. i'm pretty sure if not shoot me:D.

5. it's alright.....

6.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396745 tells you how to cook roms for excalibur you should also check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=309 before asking these questions
because theres a bunch of stuff on here that people already asked that shows up in here i take it you never read the wiki for the excalibur before...http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Excalibur
please read this stuff people maybe u won't have to ask and post up aged old questions that already been asked before(NOT TRYING TO BE A PRICK) --found most of this just by using the search forum up above---- or here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php

1. Really, you did not look too hard then, its right on the T-Mo home page, T-zones only supports WAP, basically to purchase ringtones and wallpaper from T-Mo and browse a few sites. T-MobileWeb is replacing T-Zones by the way.

2. Google is your friend, but most IM clients use data not SMS. Oz can be installed, search this forum for the answers. I had it running but use IM+ now instead

3. Yes its Edge, the G is GPRS should you leave an Edge area

4. Get Total Commander, thats the easy way to create start menu shortcuts.

5. The updated Office Mobile is worth it, if you use Windows computer and need to edit / read documents

6. The tut on cooking roms is a good one, and yes it is phone specific for the most part. Again searching this forum will get you the info you need.

Thank you to both of you =D
Everything was answered but the OZ problem. I know it can install, but it does not connect outside TMO's official roms.

Everything else is good tho xD
Thanks.

It was answered. I had it installed and running (connecting) on Kavana's ROM, as did / do many others. Use the search feature instead of waiting for someone else to do it for you. :rolleyes:

ain't that the truth, preach for us bupahs:-)

I just re-searched and have still yet to find a single person overcoming it outside TMO's roms, so if you would like to show me these 'many' people having it running on another rom, I would love it.
