any cab to display the Programs in a 4x4 row instead of one under the other.

Are you talking about in the start menu or when adding a quicklink?

If there is a way to make a 4x4 listing of applications i'm in as well. To clarify, I want to show 4x4 listings of applications when I tap Start and the display shows all my programs.

What have you done so far to fix it, any cabs installed or reg edits?

All you really need to do is three reg edits, with no cabs required if you like.

1. Go to [HKLM\Services\CMGuardian]
create a new DWORD Value called "Flags" and set the value data to "4"
(if it is already there then skip)

2. Reboot

3. Go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
and delete the "isext.dll" entry

4. Go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings]
and change "ForceCellConnection" from "PhoneAsModem" to "Sprint"

(please omit the "" in all of these entries)

You should now be able to use ICS, but make sure your data connection is already intialized prior to using (open a web browser of check your mail) or you may be asked for a user name and password. I have my email checking every 5 minutes so it is never an issue for me.

Is this Stealth too? Or would you be charged for using this?

It's not really stealth per se cause your data usage meter on your bill reflects the usage.

Data is data. There is no hiding what you use. The meter is ticking.

Now whether Sprint has mechanism to delineate between PAM & mobile web surfing is open to debate.

From what I have read here & over @ SU.com, they won't make noise at you unless you are using your phone as a server.
& even that theory is starting to lose any validity.

In sum - use it & enjoy it but be smart about it. Server via EVDO is stupid! LOL!

This is not correct. If you tap the grey name area below the photo you'll be able to pick whatever contact method you want.

I agree that the 6.1 version was more intuitive and I prefer it, but the functionality is actually present in 6.5.

Edit: never mind. This was answered in at least 2 posts subsequent to the original question. That's what I get for not reading the entire 35-page thread.

I realize you've now figured this out.

There WAS zoom for the camera in WM6.1. It's right there in the manual that came with your phone. If yours for some reason didn't come with a manual, one can be downloaded from the Sprint website.

It may sound obvious, but there is lots of information in the manual. Sure, it can be tedious to read but it's worth it. I read the entire thing when I get a new phone then again a couple of weeks later. It's amazing what's in there.

I looked through all 35 pages and still found nothing about having voicemail on the home tab, although it was aske twice. Is this request not possible. I dont know if it is related to me installing the cookie home tab cab...But I Started to notice that i had to keep clickin the volume buttoms to make it louder or softer...As to where i just would hold down in what ever direction...Is there a fix or has anyone had this problem.

w/ out the cookie you wont get voicemail on hometab nor w/ cookie you wont get voicemail on hometab (NOT YET) this maybe an option 4 future releases

the cookie mod also does NOT effect hardware buttons such as the vol rockers.

but i always remember it as if i want it lower i have to keep tapping vs holding
