aren't we talking about a reg edit to the Q ? first requirement is you need Resco Registry since PHM don't allow backups of keys.

i created a file called test.reg (which is the extension exported reg keys have) and clicked it in the Resco Explorer (or File Manager) and what i expected works, Windows Mobile asks you if you want to import the key... click yes and you are good to go.

Has anyone tried adding a DWORD registry entry to the tcpip folder?

Name: Persistent
DWORD Data: 1

Or this:

Name: RegPersisted
DWORD Data: 1

Not sure if it will help, but worth a try.

So if you import the key rather than editing it, does the change stick?

no.. but it would be less work, just click the file, click yes and you should be done.

What if I am with US Cellular? Do the same open DNS servers work??

Essentially this involves a minor Registry edit, changing your Q's default Verizon servers to OpenDNS servers.
The procedure is described here: http://www.qusers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4642

Further info: http://www.opendns.com/

The Registry edit is simple and takes seconds. I haven't had a chance to run before and after benchmarks tests, but perceptually it makes web browsing much, much faster.. Your mileage may vary, however..

The only downside I've experienced is that the Registry changes don't stick.. Which is to say that if I shut off my phone, the DNS entries revert to the default entries. Some people get this to stick, others don't.. But again, no big deal.. I turn my phone on in the AM, open my Registry Editor, change the 2 DNS entries and i'm good to go again.. Very simple..

Check it out.. Great fun!!

Ok, I'm new here ( Hi Y'all) and I have a question about this hack. I have changed the values like it said, restarted my Q, ( the values actually stuck) and now my Q actually goes SLOWER! Any ideas as to why?


Edit: Ok, it turns out that the changes stick through the reboot, but when I connect to the internet the revert back to their default parameters. Any Ideas?
