has anyone developed software or knows how to alter the setup on XDAII to avoid the following:-
when a text message arrives it disconnects the POP3 e-mail and has to be manually set back onto the POP3 account before picking up any new mail...... this is annoying!
When a message (e-mail or text) arrives it turns on the screen which is then active, if i have been using the phone and not closed the application fully (just hung up using the silver button) when the phone is in my pocket it starts calling the last number or something like that. I had a 10minute international call like this last week AND IT REALLY PISSED ME OFF!!!!!!!!! :evil:
so please if anyone knows how to fix these annoying little habits - could you let me know.
Thanks

By design, the GSM bearer has higher priority over GPRS "attaching" but not "transmission" ... this means if a phone or SMS comes in the middle of a live GPRS session (data is being sent or received) it will be blocked till the last packet is transmitted ... that's why the caller may got busy tone sometimes and other times not ... depends on the GPRS traffic status ... but since the GPRS is "Always on" in WM2003, the session will be resumed immediately but the application must be designed to keep the last session stack

you can select to lock all buttons except power when the device is off
start -> settings -> System -> Button Lock
cheers Biso,
but even with the buttons locked, a new message turns them all on again for however long the auto power off period is...... and then that is provided that no buttons are pushed!!
the point i was trying to make about the POP3 stuff is that if you have the device set to check e-mails say every 5 minutes, in order to do this the folder in the inbox has to be set to POP3 (or whatever you have named it)
if the SMS folder is open then it wont check POP3.
So every time you receive a text message the SMS folder is opened and it will prevent the device checking for e-mails until you go into the inbox and select the correct folder - ie. POP3!
I know its true that phone calls will interupt the GPRS connection, and that is not really a problem (apart from signing out of messenger).
Anyway thanks
- I never use MMS but i guess that would probably cause the same problems????
I have a TYTN.
If I want to download emails automaticaly with a POP acount it is possible to set the period for checking emails between 1 to 60 min.
What if I want ot set the period to mor than 60 min ? (for example only 3 x per day)
This would help me to save battery power (because If you set to periodical checking the networkconnection does not disconnect automaticaly. You can disconnect only manualy).
I measured 25 % more battery drain if I am permanet online in the UMTS network.
If I am permanet online I have this nerving bug to get no phonecall when bluetooth is switched on too.
Anyone knowes a trick how to set up?

Please follow my articles - I've also published a solution to this in my article "The secrets of being notified of new, incoming E-mail messages on the Pocket PC" (see the section "The problem of staying-on connection" at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=915&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 ):
GB-SOFT Tweak will be your friend; go and read http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=611&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
thank you,Menneisyys, for your answer. Of course I already read your (very interesting and usefull) articles and I know the program GB-softtweak already too.
My question is not how to disconnect network after each mailchecking.
I am searching for a programm or a reg.tweak to set the period of checking mails automaticaly to more than 60 min. I prefere a value of 8 hours, thats enough for me. (this saves battery, less downloadvolume, and no disturbing mail notifications at night while sleeping between 23 to 7 h)
So many settings can be changed in the registry, why not this value too?
Maybe someone knows?

I haven't checked this myself, but: most Messaging-related stuff is either stored as a binary flag (in large chunks of binary values) or in WindowsCE databases. I think in this case the latter is the case.
With other words, does this mean that I can not change? (I dont know how to fiddle around in the database).
Anyone with a solution?

I have built a custom program to check emails based on the schedule you built.
I do not know if that's what you are asking.. Please check under my signature for link 'rk-OSR'
thanks for your answer!
before trying I would like to know:
I still use WM5
1) can I set the period for acess to a mailserver as I like? (multiple settings possible?), for example during day every 1 h, at night nothing?
2) I have manny emailacounts. Can I set for each a different period?
3) I dont use wifi. Can I use Umts connection? ( can I set your program use the 'standard internet connection' too? I mean the one which I normaly use for browsing with IE)
4) will the device wake up from standby when checking mailserver (of cours I guess it will wake up when a mail arrives because you mentioned that your programm is notificaton based)
I know, many questions.
thanks in advance

First of all, rk-OSR just performs email account send receive at specified time. Not from the exchange server.
All your email accounts will be available for sync using rk-OSR
1)Sync schedules you have to manually setup each... You can not set up eg for every 1 hr OR sync from 10Am to 5pm. You need to configure each sync
2)Number of mail account does not matter, but you can not specify which account to sync when. All choosen accounts are synced up
3)It will work on wifi or gprs/edge/3g etc
4)You can set up either way. Wake up or not to wake up.
But why don't you install the app and see if satisfies your requirements.
I hated this on WM5. However on Smartphone you could always have it check once a day not just from 1-60 mins. Gladly WM6 Pro fixes all this. You can have it check once a day and also have it send emails when you click "send". You still can't set times for your pop 3's to auto check but once a day is better than every 60 mins.
WM6 Black on the Tytn is solid.
Thank you juiceppc!
now I upgraded to WM6 too (and I am glad I did it)
I set to check mail once a day (I use a pop3 account) and it is working well.
Can somebody tell me how to find out at which time such dayly mailcheck happens?
Is it possible to set the exaxt time for a dayly mailcheck ?
(for example: check mail every day at 12.00 h)
At the moment - I get woken up every day at 6am by my Trion reminding me I have an all day event that day scheduled in my calender.
How can I set this to go off at 9am instead by default please?
Thanks for any help!
Dan
you set it in clocks and alarmes in settings
Can't find anything in there apart from setting specific alarm times which is not quite what I want.
I need it so that when I create an 'all day event' in the calander with a reminder, that that alert time is relative to say 9am and not 6am!
Technically it would have made sense to have the all day event alert at 12 midnight but that wouldn't have been much better for my sleep than 6am...
Uncheck "all day event" and set the meeting to start at 9am, then select the rest of the day in the calendar........
Yeah except I synchronise my pda with Outlook.
Outlook puts 'all day events' in a separate section at the top, allowing me to schedule other things during the day. If i set it to start at 9am and finish at 9pm it has the disadvantage of
1. being a longer process
2. blocking up the day
Surely they can't mean to wake everyone up at 6am every day there is an all day event??
Dan
Shouldn't an 'all day event' block the whole day anyway?
It seems you're not using 'all day events' as they are intended, and then complaining that they are not working the way you want them to work.
You must be an executive.
I'm assuming you're already at work for these 'all day events' of yours that all start at 9am but don't take up the whole day, so just turn the reminders for them off altogether.
Forums are for being helpful..
Dear Doom, it has to be said that your suggestion was not helpful and your comment as "you must be an executive" was particularly childish. I too have this problem and am not an executive I assure you. What kind of events do I wish to schedule as all day, have a reminder for, but yet have no start time? Scheduling things like birthdays which have no start time and no impact on my day would seem a fair example, it is after that person's birthday all day... Then there are system installs that span whole days, they don't have a time they are expected to start, or end, they are in fact pencilled in for when the engineers arrive. There are also loads of those jobs that have no particular time associtaed with them but need to be done - check tapes, contact customer, etc.
If anyone has a suggestion on how we can schedule events making use of the Outlook reminder facility, without logjamming our Calendar and without being woken up at midnight or 6AM it would be appreciated! My Outlook is configured so my working day starts at 8AM.
Sounds like that would be better served by using tasks....
Yep. Listen to AlbertoM.
I too have suffered this problem and now have to set the reminder to n.5 days (e.g. 1.5 days) so that the reminder goes off at 12 noon rather than midnight. Bit of pain having to remember to do this but it is better than getting woken.
in outlook you can set it as 'busy'. Can you do the same thing in calandar on the 8525/tytn?
Even I had a similar problem waking up at midnight, I thought there must be a way to fix it and I was lazy to look for it. Since this post came up, I thought of building something up to convert all my 'All day events' to fixed time events.
Here it is

I am not sure if it completely solves the problem but might help someone
This could also be handled easily if you have outlook installed on your desktop. Just go into options and on the preferences tab select calendar options and adjust the start and end times, as far as I know this just highlights those hours differently as they are considered your peak hours. The begin time you set will also be the time your all day event reminders go off. Sync your device and these settings will be applied to your device as well.

Are you sure on the above? I have already the Start time and the End Time set in outlook on pc. Still my device notifies me at 12:00 AM for all day events.
Is there any other setting to change?

My appologies you are correct i must have been thinking back to my last palm device. Oddly enough i'm suprised i haven't set up a all day event with a reminder to have noticed this That is very odd that this is the way it is handled. I mean it makes sense and all since 12am is when the device moves the date forward. Kinda makes me wonder when my first birthday reminder goes off 2 weeks in advance, guess i'll be woken up at the the stroke of midnight 2 weeks prior to the birthdate.
marnel47 you don't have to apologize it is obvious to assume that device would notify to on your start of the day, even though it is logically correct to wake up at 12:00 AM. But there should have been some setting to notify at day start time. (Exactly same behavior is experienced on the desktop reminder too)

sorry posted in wrong thread
Hi
I was wondering if it is possible to set the send and receive schedule to work only during working hours. It is a bit of a pain as currently it is doing the send/receive every 15mins 24hours a day and the evening messages are more than likely junk.
If not then maybe there is a way to set a script to change the email download options and this can be set to run at the times required to turn send/receive on/off
Thanks
Sully
.
sorry, not possible
I am currently looking at mortscript but not sure if I can do it with that. I am thinking that send/receive can be set to automatic or manual and this setting must be in the reg. If I can write a little script or app that can change this reg value at specific set times therefore swithing on/off email download.
Never done anything on PPC before but I will give it a try and report back.
Sully
If your using activesync for emails then it is possible.
Open Activesync, goto Schedule, Set sync for peak times as every xminutes or as items arrive, set of peak for manual.
Then adjust peak times to suit your work day.
Works great for me.

Not so fast! I use just the program hungabunga is looking for
http://www.gudensoft.com/emailscheduler/
It can be used to automaticly change the send/recieve shedule based on the day of the week and time of day, it also supports push email.
I use it to turn my email checking off at night automaticly so it doesn't disturb me and also preserves my battery life.
tabannis you are a star, thanks just what I needed

Hello, this is my first post on this account since I forgot my last account name and lost access to my old e-mail
I have a question about an application I need for windowsmobile.
An application in which you can set hours when your phone goes vibration only or ringtone only.
For example - you work every day between 9.00 am till 4 pm and you always forget to switch to vibration only mode on your phone. And this application would switch to particular modes in particular hours that you have chosen.
Do you know anything about such an application? does it exist?
Thanks
