hi
anyone have a problem with activating phone pad when writing SMS?
often this happens to me following soft-reset the keyboard pops up by default and changing to phone pad does not work. it kind of only half comes up and is non-functional. sometimes the whole sms application will crash. requires soft-reset and try again until it works.
thought it was a memory shortage, but i have reinstalled apps to storage and now have 28MB free, split into 17MB for programs and 11MB for storage, which should be ok.
maybe a conflict with something i'm running?
Yes, I have the same problem.
There are 2 posts in here about it, but no solution from what I can see. Would love someone to fix it.
I have a feeling it got something to do with Pocket informant. U running it ?
nope - so tick that one off :wink:
additional programs running at startup... lets see:
omega-one battery pack pro
omega-one program bar and other utilities
spb GPRS monitor
microsoft voice command
sbsh pocket weather
think that's about it.
any correlations?

I have installed all of them, But removed them after.
The only one still installed is voice command
just had the pleasure of reinstalling everything after a required hard reset (curruption on the sd card leading to lots of lock-ups - my fault for getting impatient and disconecting the activesync during an avantgo update!).
anyway, the phone pad was back to perfect functioning until i installed voice command. its now uninstalled again and will stay that way :?
do you have voice command installed to main memory or storage?
i have installed it in storgage. but i have tried both places
Well having been a member of this forum now for a few months I have learned many valuable things. Extended Roms... new software... accessories... flashing... and the list goes on and on... I thank you all for the education. That being said the time has come to choose the Ultimate setup and flash/setup this device one last time (for a while anyway so I wanted to poll the community and see what others are running on their Universals...
1. What Carrier/Radio Version (QTEK, IMATE, O2, TMOBILE etc...)
2. What's in the Extended Rom...
3. What reg hacks...
4. What software is installed on the device... (today plugins etc...)
5. What software is installed on the SD Card...
If you all like I will post the results in a report and we can see what people are really using on their devices.
Again... I want to thank everybody on the forum who so freely shares his information and hard work. Let's keep donating to this site and keep it humming along.

for starters
Yeah this forum is great! From what I've picked up here, I decided to put smallmenu, total commander, and gsplayer in my Extended ROM.
I also like using OzVGA and the Opera browser.
I use Pocket Informant for the PIM stuff, and e-wallet for the more confidential stuff.
I'm in the medical field, and I like the Skyscape medical references.
I also have the core media player and pocket artist. Almost forgot, I use MS Voice Command with my bluetooth headset.
Besides the programs in Extended ROM, pretty much everything else except Voice Command is installed to the SD card.
For games, I mostly play bubble breaker, but I have Doom, Snails, Flux Challenge, and tried the demo for sealball. The Universal is not a great gaming machine IMO, but generally I am VERY happy with my setup.

1. Imate, standard rom available on the site
2. Dont care, I dont install any of it except the communication carrier (telstra) and the bluetooth patch. This gives me a 31 meg startup RAM excluding today and additional startups installed by choice.
3. Limited, MSVC hack for blue tooth (I have done lots in the past, but no real impact that I found beneficial so didnt bother on the last hard reset last week).
4. SPB Pocket Plus (beta 3.1), SPB Weather, SPB Diary, SPB Backup (beta 1.0), Resco Explorer/ftp/reg, MSVC, KSE True Fax
5. Total Commander, Oxios, FeederReeder, TCPMP, Resco Audio, Resco Radio, Resco Photos, Wisbar Advance and Wisbar Desktop (Wisbar is really just play and fun, I would never load today screen configurations from an SD card), Blue Point Earth and Blue Point World Info, Pocket RAR, Microsoft E Reader, Omega One 1 Calc, and Paint. Only game installed Resco Guardians.
Using the SPB backup beta, when I did a hard reset, I did a perfect backup using SPB for all device software with all my tweaks and adjustments, passwords, settings, configurations, wifi and bluetooth settings and passwords, hit most of my sites and put in my user names and passwords and auto login.
Now, when I restore, everything is perfect. I also then did a second with all my perfect apps installed to the SD card, and registered them all and setup all those tweaks, and did another backup. I now have my "virgin" machine, and my "custom" machine.
I also extracted all of the cab files for all of the software, including the entire extended rom and copied them to my SD card for easier and quicker installation and access without needing activesync.
I can now do a full hard reset and configure in about 5 minutes. Startup RAM is now 28meg, but with SPB PP, Weather, and Diary is about 22meg runs down to 12 meg then soft reset. Screen rotation first time is 3 seconds, then sub 1 second on subsequent rotations depending on the next reset.
So overall, and in essence, I am totally f..kin ecstatic with my setup (taken about 10 attempts to get to this)
great post...
Very Informative Simon. I believe that you have a great system for preserving your setup. I will defintely be incorporating it into my ultimate setup.
Good stuff here guys.. keep it coming.

I got an XDA Mini S and a 1GB Mini SD card.
I was wondering, im putting on VJPhonetools, Papyrus, Pocketbreeze, Smartkeys, Phoneprofiles along with a shed load of MP3's etc. and want to know which will run quicker :
1. Progs on the phone and MP3's on the card
2. Progs and MP3's on the card.
3. Some progs on the phone and the other progs on the card along with the MP3's?
Ta
P.S, how do i get CAPNOTIFY to run, i have it on my XDA but when i click it nothing happens !!!
1.
Some programs don't run well from memory card - any kind of hack (like smarkskey) should be installed on phone, some other programs can be installed in the card without problems. Since phone storage memory and RAM are not shared in WM5 (like they were in 2003SE) you can get away with installing a lot on the phone. MP3s and such are fine to install on memory card. Might get some problems with jerky video/audio (never experienced this myself) but nothing major.

Didnt know that. Thanks
I have a hermes SPV 3100 but keep getting the following problems and was wondering if anyone else had similar issues:-
1. Sometimes when I go to load an application that is installed onto the microsd card, it says can't find application. If I eject the card and reinsert it all works fine - any ideas?
2. Periodically I get the whole phone lock up. It still looks like the screen is active but the back light is not on , nor will any keys work to re-activate. I have the following installed and was wondering if it could be one of the following applications that is the cause of the problem:-
- PhoneAlarm
- pTravelAlarm
- PocketBreeze
- PocketInforman 2007
- SportsDo
- Skype
- eWallet
- Tomtom Navigator 6
All of the above are the latest versions..
Any ideas on this one?
Thanks
Mark

Acouple of these are rather hungry processor wise and in particular I found PhoneAlarm caused serious delays/freezes if a) I was using a fancy skin-notably some of the vista ones and b) had it's skin on the sdcard.
My sdcard stuff used to appear and disappear but I have lightened the load of applications on desktop and it has settled down.
Another thing I've done is to instal Wisbar Advance desktop with multiple today screens. With this I install maybe only one application to each dektop. I had thought this would if anything slow everything down but in fact it seems to only run the application(s) applying to the desktop currently showing. Also makes for a less cluttered today screen. I also pin shortcuts to the other today screens so I can easily flick from one to another
Even so the occasional lockup needing soft reset is expected and I ensure wifi etc is switched of and no programmes running at night to ensure no freezes overnight and the alarm goes off in the morning.

So whats the best storage for install programms ? Which Programm should be on SD Card and which on Telephone ?
like TT6, any SPB, any SBSH, Resco......
What do you have where installed ???
I install any apps that have today plugins or that I use all the time on the device. Any other apps like satnav etc go on the card.

Thanks for your information...
tried tt6 on the card and on the tytn. there seems to be fewer lock ups if installed on the machine. I agree witht he today plugins comment but I think it simply depends on the software. some of the older stuff only works without freezing if directly installed on the machine. if you remove the card or hot swap with another then you get even more problems

Definitely agree on that. Any fixes for your OS should go to main memory as well.
