Next GoodLink question, for those of you that have it working. Does your contacts in your phone dialer take you to the Goodlink contacts, or the local contact list? How can I change which contact list it takes me to when I'm in the phone?

Hi cab3 - I've never found a way to change any phone app (Cyberon Voice Commander, phone contacts button, etc.) to brink up the goodlink contact list. The button takes you to the pocket outlook (local) contacts...

But there's a way to work around the issue where the GL client has it's own contact list which it syncs with the exchange contacts list while other apps on the phone (e.g. Cyberon Voice Commander) look at the pocket outlook contact list.

I set up ActiveSync to sync my exchange contact list with my pocket outlook contacts list. Then GL keeps my exchange contacts synced with my GL client contacts. Obviously, the pocket Outlook contacts get a bit behind if you don't use ActiveSync very often, but I don't make a lot of contact changes so it's not a big problem for me.

On my device, I can add/delete/change contacts via either the GL or Outlook contacts and after I sync up, anything I changed gets propogated to the other contact list. If I make changes directly in Exchange, those also get sent to both lists.

It's a waste that they don't work together directly, but this solution has worked for me the last couple of years.

Well, I think I actually figured this out today. I did some searching on here and found a few things related to SPB Contacts, I think, and I thought I'd try to adapt it to work for GoodLink. What I ended up doing was enable GoodLink Contacts for all Contacts menus. I edited the registry entry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:M SCONTACTS

and changed the "String 1" value from ":MSPOUTLOOK contacts" to whole of the following:

"\Program Files\GoodLink\GoodContacts.exe"


After doing that, pretty much every Contacts button on the phone now routes me to my GoodLink contacts, which is exactly what I wanted. Hope it helps others!

The only notable change from this procedure above is that I did let the Sprint customizations run, and ran the OTA GoodLink setup. I didn't realize that Goodlink was already installed as part of the ROM. That may make me more likely to try to reflash and try this again.

It takes me to my local contact list, and I cannot figure out how to change it. Maybe the solution posted just above my post will help you out.

a few things....

calling 911 is delayed by about 30 seconds...and the phone needs to be reset after....

when you open sprints page in PIE, it thinks I have a Mogul (not a bug, but pretty funny).

quick question : do you let the customizations run for alltel or soft reset before they hit ?

No, you don't let them run.

I am trying to get past the initial learning curve and have read nearly all 107 pages..eyes red... Where I am at is.. I have the Verizon Rom and was able to decompress it to the proper exe. I have the ability to put my phone in the boot loader mode with the indicator going from Serial to USB (v1.00). These are my issues"

1) What happens is when I have active sync connected and position my 6700 in bootloader mode active sync seems to suggest I am NOT connected..Is this normal?

2) When I am in booloader mode and clock on the APAC exe, the Dos window opens and closes immediately without any change the phone screen and still indicates the USB v1.oo in the dark screen.

What should I be doing to make the rom write to my phone...thanks

1) yes, that's normal.
2) open a DOS window (command prompt), change directory to wherever APAC.exe is, run APAC.exe - do you see an error message?

[DManton]

Yes...the message in dos window is "Program to big to fit in memory".

FYI...newer laptop..lots of ram...

another question if I may...I read some say to disable the USB settings in Active sync....should i?

thanks...and stuck..
