Call tones on ppc 6700
 

Not sure if this was discussed in a previous thread, if so i wasnt able to find it. I ran across this thread on another site, supposely you can change the setting in your phone so you can go online as if it was a regular vision phone. I kno power vision is better, but with power vision you cant add call tones, or view your content or other things of that nature.


THIS IS THE ORIGINAL POST.

In case you like being able to check your minutes online, or view the other content there. Smile

This is a two-part hack. First, you have to setup the Sprint proxy. Second, you have to make the website think you're running on a supported phone.

1) Setup the proxy. Goto Settings->Connections->Sprint->Proxy Settings. Set the proxy address to 68.28.31.33. Click advanced. Make sure the port for HTTP is 80, and get rid of Socks.

2) Change the User-Agent. Get your favorite registry editor.
Goto: HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Internet Settings/5.0/User Agent

Backup what's there currently. (don't skip this). If you're using PHM, you can export the whole key to a file.

Get rid of everything else, and add the following String Values:
Compatible=compatible
Default=Mozilla/4.0
Desc=Windows 98; PalmSource/hspr-H102; Blazer/4.0
Platform=Windows 98; PalmSource/hspr-H102; Blazer/4.0
UA-Language=Windows 98; PalmSource/hspr-H102; Blazer/4.0
Version=MSIE 6.0

Now Sprint thinks you're using a Treo 650 or 700p!

3) Goto http://vision.sprintpcs.com. If it doesn't look right, check all the settings again. You should have 10 links numbered 1,2,...,9,0. The website is very picky, if you have any typos or mistakes in the user-agent it won't work.





CAN somebody try this and tell me if this works, if i do it myself i would probably mess it up. Or maybe someone knows another way to add call tones on a power vision phone.

yeah it was discussed before..all u do is go to search inside ppc geeks and type in calltones

would this work for the ppc 6800 mogul as well?

what about for the ppc 6700 for alltel?

yes had it working on my 6700 now on my 6800. look for wideawake's How To: Yet Another Call Tone Guide. *Simple* thread to download the cab and full instructions.

so all in all dose it work for tha sprint touch??????

not sure but dont see y not. check out the thread that i mentioned previously it has a lot more info.
