In contacts, remembering last used category - MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading

Hi folks,
I used Jeff's highly acclaimed ROMKitchen with much success on my T-Mobile PPC and upgraded to WM2003. However, I chose not to use the "T-Mobile" version and use the WM2003 ROM.
Everything works 100%--no problems!
However, I did notice that I don't have the ability to "set" the PDA to remember my last category used... I use my "business" category a lot, so I have to go in and resort it every time.
Anyone know of a registry hack or whether this was not included in WM2003?
Thanks!

Same Problem here - Anyone who has a solution please post

WOW! Wiredup you're right, I never noticed that before but just checked it still works with AgenaFusion though!

Pocket ZEN Phone
Pocket ZEN Phone works great !! On some dutch forum's I also read great things about this program !! After ordering it ... it would be the first program I would install on my mobile device. Can't live without it ! ;oP
Thanks for the help.
I tried Pocket Zen and agree that it is a great product.
Will probably pay for it!
I agree about PocketZenPhone.
I tried the O2 Plus and doesn't have the flexibility I like. For example I like to have different display brightness according to the profile (to save battery power as needed), I like the ability to be able to turn on/off bluetooth according to profile.
Best of all, the programmer of PZP is very easily available and includes anything people ask if reasonable and can be done.
i just started playing with this program and like it alot. is there a readme or somewhere to read a little about how to use it better. the official site is a little sparse on information. i had it configured perfectly but a hard reset caused me to reinstall. i haven't been able to set it up exactly right again. working nights the profile and timed setting are perfect. thanks in advance.

Hi Crash
There is an on line manual on the site, that I think someone has put into a Repligo file that can be downloaded and read off line. Search the forum index for Pocket Zen Phone. I think the thread has about 105 pages now! Also, as you will see from the thread, the author (Zendrui) is very active and responsive to questions. Hop that helps
Regards
Chris

"This device is restricted from downloading this file t

My Qtek 9100 with the latest english generic ROM was working fine for months. This morning, I removed the SIM and put it back in. Since then, it won't activesync, I can't drag n drop files to it through Explorer, and when I try to download a CAB file via IE, I now get this error message:
"This device is restricted from downloading this file type."
Any ideas? I don't understand what happened to it! It's like it moved to a very strict secure mode all by itself. It doesn't make any sense!
It seems that my security policies are all whacked up. The device doesn't even see the installed applications in the "Software uninstaller manager" app anymore. I tried rebooting and soft-resetting, no good.
ok guys, in order to fix my problem, I NEED one of you to send me ALL the keys and data info from this registry folder:
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\
Please export that registry for me as a text file and attach it here (or copy/paste it), so I can retype it manually on my Qtek 9100 phone (I can't import anything on my PDA atm as I can't download anything to it, it won't let me).
If none of you do this small favor to me, I am screwed. I would need to hard reset and lose everything (I can't back up anything).
Here Goes...
Ok, I am running the latest "T-mobile custom" ROM, ROM version 2.24.10.1 WWE. I should have no policies enabled... I have typed out all of the keys and values under this in notepad in the format name-value. all values should be DWORD. Hope this helps....

Edit: My phone is a t-mobile MDa, don't think that should matter...
Thank you very much, much appreciated.
I have this issue but I can't view the txt doc can someone paste it here or email it me in the body so I can add them manually or if ur really kind email me the cab file. I have the htc wizard running the most beautiful edition rom. will this work by any chane? I can't download any file this device is restricted from downloading this file type every bloody time...

Merely changing the security Policies as listed in the .txt did not fix the problem
I have this problem too, I can't even edit the registry so I can't even try to put the policies back again. By the looks of things that won't work anyway.
Anyone got a solution that doesn't involve wiping the phone? Not that I know how to do that anyway. I have an XDA Orbit from O2.
Thanks,

Same problem here
I have the same problem (XDA Orbit 2)
Worked fine for the first few days - was able to download CABs etc. Then it just stopped. I've read elsewhere about root certificates. Could this be the problem?
this device is restricted from downloading this file type
I have had this problem on my HTC touch with windows mobile 6.
This microsoft bug can make you loose a lot of work, time and data.
Are the Microsoft programmers drinking while they work?
Here is the solution I found!

I hope it fixes your problems too.
Restricted Download !!!!! Hum
Hello all. I also have a Qtek 9100 for more than 2 years.
Honestly i never had that problem. And i already flashed undreads of ROMs and software to it.
One thing is that i always have Backup Software for any eventuality. Things can always go wrong.
Tips
First - Try to use Resco Registery Editor,its a good Software to make any changes "Delete/Rename/Copy/Add etc,etc.
Second - Look for Its Right,the TNT Master. It will be dificult to find him as he is getting is Engineer Degree. You can also ask Octaivoi,he is a Wizard Master 2.
Third - Keep an exautive search in XDA Devs and eventualy you all will find the answere.
Fourth - Get a Backup Software,get back all the software that cant be recovered. "Eugenia software can always be recovered". And FLASH a new ROM. There are many,many Beautiful and advanced Wizard ROMs arround XDA Dev.
Hope that any of these tips can help
SOLVED!!! ThankS!!!

first had this problem with the empty "remove programs" list 6 months ago, glad to see this whacked-out solution that works!!
Conclusion: Microsoft Windows Mobile messed up the security settings, so let Microsoft Word Mobile put it back automatically, voila!
And ofcourse, I've read about this "fix" soo many times at so many places, and it works for everyone but me >.< I tried all the different ways theres to it, nothing worked. One more thing, shutting it off and THEN pressing soft reset doesn't make sense. Anyway I tried, and it didnt fix. Still got the file deletion/changing restriction. Can't sync, can't get online, download files nothing ... If only Microsoft cared to fix this. Anyone any idea? Dutch phone, Hi provider, rom version: 1.93.404.1 NLD
A Real Fix
Has anyone on this board found A REAL FIX to this problem?
Because I just got my tilt 6 months ago was doing good and now cannot download, cannot stream, cannot play cellular videos, radio.
I have tried the office word solution. That did not work for me!
Is there a Real Solution?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!

I'm sorry it didn't work on your device. I had the same problem, no sync, no file copy/rename on the device, no cab install, no programs in "add/remove programs" on my Mio A702 thing. The MS Word solution worked smoothely and now I have everything as it should be. So I can confirm the "word thing" actually works . Don't know why it won't do the trick in your case

unable to browse web pages properly ???

Hi
i am having a problem with browing any website on my PPC, the problem is that when i try to open any webpage it stalls on 1kb and it only opens the page partially.
I read another post and they managed to solve this by selecting the correct encoding which was Western European. is there any other possible reasons why this type of behaviour will be experienced on the device?
hope te hear from the superior knowledge of the forum members.

reo
I had that problem when I used one of the custom roms. When I flashed the stock t-mobile ROM, it went away almost completely. Once in a great while it'll happen but I'm talking like twice since going with a stock rom. Couldn't tell you what the difference was as the stock rom performance was fine and I didn't really care enough to look into it further.

I'm pretty sure it's a connection issue (I've had similar problems with, say, non-CrEme 4.1 + Toonel pre .54 combinations - see http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/menneisyys/ConfigureToonel45.asp for more info).
BTW, what ROM do you have?
MTU settings could it be the reason ??
Hi
Just to let you no, recently i travelled to another country and i decided to get a sim card and test my device in this country, surprisingly it worked fine i could browse with no problems.
only from in my country on my network do i get this strange behaviour.
Do u think its related to the MTU settings ? if i adjust this then mayb it will allow me to browse, judging from your response i noticed that this option that you suggested is to reduce bandwidth usage therefore allowing to view pages faster.
Thanks kindly
reo
Yeah, this seems to be a problem with your wireless operator. (You could still give a try to it in a, say, inexpensive, GPRS-capable "dumb" phone like the S-E t68i / t610 connected to your PDA / notebook)

You can surely give a try to Toonel (I've BTW linked in Toonel because, under WM5, the (old) Java version has exactly the same problems with old(er) Java environments - I've elaborated on this problem a lot in my articles. That is, the problem was similar to that of yours).
thanks for your help it is most informative, i am currently loading the toonel to test and i will post my results here.
thanks again

setup using newer versions of the program, i hope it does not create an incorrect behviour.
setup toonel have just a quick query
Hi
i have managed to setup toonel version .50, using creme 4.21. i have pIE and this all on a WM5 OS.
i did not utilise the link i just executed directly from the toonel.jar file.
now it is running but i would like to just clearify that i done it correctly.
about the connections i used the method u suggested and created a new connection under the top selection which is used for programs to connect directly to the internet and named it toonel, and made all the adjustments on proxy, i also put the details of the modem which is the GPRS connection for my country.
now i am ready to use.
i have a question about the tab in Toonel called WEB, is there any setting that i should have setup in here, it has a an option called Parent Proxy address.
Regards
reo
HI
ok, i had to reset the device for things to start working properly.
now i hve to use the link, it doesnt set creme as the default JVM. so after i execute i get an error saying **cant find class client.WebUI
im sure there it is a path issue, but not sure about where is the web.ui
reo
Don't struggle with the Java version - use the new PPC-based one. See http://pocketpcmag.com/blogs/menneisyys/ConfigureToonel54.asp .
(Sorry, I've linked in the older Java version because it produced exactly the same symptomps under WM5 as yoour case, not because it's the Toonel version I recommend for you.)
hi
ok, i see. the behaviour i am experincing you noticed it using Toonel java version.
have you get any ideas what could be causing my problem ?
Now we no that it is probably a problem at my network, however is there any way to over come this ?
i actually noticed 1 thing, Magician S100 QTEK works on my network properly!!
any ideas what could be the difference ?
what are the chances that it is related to the UAProfile ? if so how could it effect the browsing ?

no luck with toonnel with "unlimited internet tzones"
now that tzones offers "unlimited internet" ( http://jkontherun.blogs.com/jkontherun/2006/12/got_tmobile_tzo.html ) I tried to use toonel with my wizard to speed up the connexion but didn't have any chance ... I tried the 3 versions on http://toonel.net/downloads.html (I even installed the Creme JVM) though ... some ports must still be closed ...
any idea/comment anybody ?
PS :
the good thing with "tzones unlimited internet" is that I can now use opera mini, gmail java, google maps java, etc ...
i had the same problem with uk tmobile. i called them and they said it would be fixed soon-and a few days later it was!!
maybe call your network provider before messing with your phone settings

AutoUpdate of time on WM6

I am a frequent traveller, I travel a lot between Eastern and Central Time zones.
When my PPC was on WM5 it used to Auto update the time no matter which state I used to be in.
But ever since I updated my PPC to WM6 the AutoUpdate of clock stopped working. Can someone help me out
i did find a registry entry which I used.. I do timezone tab in Phone settings and it is checked to autoupdate and still the phone is unable to update the time from network.
anyhelp is greatly appreciated
You are seriously wondering why you are not getting full functionality out of a bootlegged OS?

I can't help with the WM6 question...but I am curious how you managed this with the WM5 OS. I have an 8125 and apparently a similar travel pattern. My device NEVER updates the time based on the network. How did you set this up when you were still running 5?
I am interested in how you got it working as well. Mine did not update once from the east coast to the west coast. Not even when making a call.
well i have a reg tweek that will change the time when you enter a diff time zone via the network...hope this is what your looking for....
Timezone and time update
In the branch HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting Change the value of the Key "ShowTimeZonesPage" to value of 1 (dword). Close your registry editor (no reset required) and tap START-SETTINGS-PHONE, there should be a new tab where you can automatically set the phone to get time and timezone information from the network. Really useful for me as I do extensive travelling. Tested on WM5

Yes! Its there on WM6 too!!!! Dont know if it actually works, yet to travel in a different timezone.
I have had it enabled in my registry in WM5 and WM6. It's NEVER worked for me. I change phones a lot so I'm always taking out the SIM card. When I do this, the battery comes out and it loses time/date.
I'd be curious on the details as well because I've never heard anyone that actually had it functioning!
-Mc
I tested this tweak and it seems to work when I initiate flight mode and then turn flight mode off (which will be great when I land on the plane...the time will adjust automatically).
Will this update periodically check the time to ensure it's sync'd or will this only work when the phone initially communicates with the network?
acording to microsoft list of bugs in all from aku1 to aku3 this feature never worked and they never fixed it..... since crossbow has several parts of old aku roms my guess is it does not work either..... this feature is also carrier dependent if you manage to make it work.

My carrier supports it. My Wizard never did with the ROM hack or with Crossbow. So if it worked, I'd love to find out how! This at least makes me feel good that I'm not missing out on something...

upon doing some more reading aparently some aku3 roms now support it!!!
but in a diferent way. here it is;
Receiving Network Identity and Time Zone(NITZ) information is currently unsupported.
This feature was incorrectly documented to be supported by Windows Mobile Version 5.0 AKU3.0 in Windows Mobile Version 5.0 Documentation Release. NITZ is currently supported at Radio Interface Layer(RIL) only.

OK, so apparently this functionality is in fairly high demand...and since we're talking about WWAN devices, hasn't someone written an app that will periodically ping a time server (like PC OS's) and update the time on the device?
I am NOT a developer, so maybe I'm missing something obvious here. But it doesn't seem like a complicated concept for sure.
registry wizard does this
the xda-developers registry wizard allows you to make the registry tweak "show time zone s page" in both WM5 and WM6,- this put the time zone tab in phone-options, but the feature never worked for me. I called my provider to confirm if they supported it but the help desk was clueless- Would love to see if anyone got this working.
Confirmed working on my 8125 through the Cingular network. Before the hack I had to initiate a physical active sync through USB or manually change the time. Now if I go and change the time to say an hour ahead within 5 -10 seconds the time reverts back automatically.

Here is a quote and a link to a program I found on the Cingular/HTC forum:
"How hard would it be to go to the clock settings and select the "visiting" button and select the time zone you are in?
Works for me.
There are options for atomic clock server time sync. But that won't address time zone issues.
http://zdnetasia.com/downloads/handheld/swinfo/0,39043246,39175141s,00.htm

I don't go out of my own time zone, so I don't really have any issues with it. The registy hack has worked just fine on my 8125.

Can DUN be ported to WM6?

Hi,
I used to use Dial Up Networking to access TomTom plus services on my Go 910 through my Hermes, but as we well know, MS has replaced this feature with ICS as of AKU 3 onwards. I'm now using WM6 and don't want to go back.
I found this blog on MSDN. Apparently DUN may reappear in WM6 .... one day ... if the operators choose to include it...
http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2007/04/17/why-did-we-remove-bluetooth-dun.aspx
Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone had looked into ways to port DUN from a pre-AKU 3 version of WM5 into WM6. Is it just a bunch of dlls a few registry settings, or is this functionality very intertwined in the OS and hard to transport?
I don't want to duplicate work, so if anyone has looked into this already please let me know. Also let me know if you think this would be a worthwhile project. If no one else has done this, I'd be happy to give it a try.
Thanks

It can't be hacked on the Registry level - see my related remarks in my article on all these q's.
That is, simple registry hacking won't work.
Thanks. Your very good article answers most of my questions. (not what I hoped to hear unfortunately).
One thing is still not clear in my mind though: Is this functionality solely a dependency of the (upgraded) MS BT stack and not the OS itself? If so, is it available in, say, the Widcomm stack and could one get DUN functionality back on a WM6 ROM by using the Widcomm stack instead of the Microsoft one?
