Secret Sidekick Applications

secret sidekick applications

i cooked up a neat how-to for this month’s popular science magazine, how-to get new apps on your otherwise locked up sidekick. rss readers, other messaging clients, movie time apps. the world is yours mang! well, after you sign up for an unlock key, download the sdk, load the apps…

  1. I hate to break the news to you, but this procedure is dead. I signed up 2 weeks ago, and the key url has been offline since. The procedure has been changed, now in order to get a key you have to apply individually and you application will be reviewed. No more just getting a device key just because you want to install apps. I’m hoping for a hack that gets around this. The published hack actually killed itself. It became too popular. :(

    My problem was that I waited to actually get my Sidekick II before I went to sign up for a key….

    oh well.

    -F

  2. your contract says you get 14 days to return it.
    I don’t know if its the same type of unlock key that T-mobile will give subscribers. Just like they do for other GSM phones.

    also will this hack work with the orig ColorSidekick??

  3. They’re not shutting it down, they’re just redesigning it so that they don’t have most of the people just asking about how to throw ringtonez on their phone. They want to keep it a community.

  4. My question is if any of these fabulous apps will be available to us NERDS who like to spend $$$ on little gadgets like these?

    I have a SideKick II and saw this posting through powerpage.org. After reading the article from “HOW2”, I wish I would’ve been more of hacker than a graphic designer.

    Just curious.

  5. I was shocked to learn that the sidekick
    would be locked down in this fashion. Even
    my lowly Nokia 3100 can have apps loaded on it
    via serial cable.

    Thanks for the warning. I for one will
    NOT be buying a sidekick, because of the
    stunt the manufactur and/or T-Mobile pulled
    with this device.

  9. There’s a way to run a diagnostic program on the sideckick II. Go to menu-sytem info-and press menu+shift+D. The diagnostics checklist will appear and you could either run all of them or individual.

  10. I came across several things on sidekick 2.

  14. alright check it out the u hit the menu>shift>s and tracer screen pops up den press menu and go through the list and mess around with the programs and the tracers and after that you will come across the java script. once you turn off the java error u can play games. wat i don’t understand is why t-mobile and hip top never told any one about this. and thanks for the props.

  15. wuz good dragon can u tell us exactly wut u actually did like wut program u went wut option cuz i mess around with the programs and the tracers and couldnt find nothing and nothing came up

  16. I did the jumpbutton+shift+s and then menu again and a menu popped up and it had “other debug tools” in it, when i select that it has java messages only. select that and theres a list of stuff in there but I don’t know what it’s for and I can’t change anything in it. What exactly do we do to unlock java?

  17. Try to get an unlock key and also trying to get instructions on how to listen to music from my sidekick free. Got any websites or anything so I can listen to music from my sidekick2? I have tmobile as my provider.
