Smart Dialling? - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

I have recently upgraded from WM2003SE to WM5.
In WM2003SE there was a 'Smart Dialling' feature that meant I could tap, say, '4 6 6 3' on my keypad and 'Home' would appear amoung other possible numbers in my contacts.
THis feature dosent seem to be in the 160.b WM5 ROM and I'm having trouble locating a cab that works.
I have tried http://www.dmmh.nl/xda/files/view/?fid=343 and many other Intellipads etc but none seem to work.
Answers in an informative and well written post as soon as possible please.

ftSwitchSIP , Change SIP by one key

On my dopod 900, I use keyboard SIP and PlumSIP, I wanna switch between then quickly.
But Fn+SYM or PQZ doesn't work properly,I try vijay555's SIPSwitch,but it's hard to use.
So I wrote one to switch between different SIP.
First map it to one hardward key,
Then press the key, it change the SIP to next SIP in the system SIP list and show the input panel.
BTW , if u want switch between some peculiar input method, u can use POCKET TWEAK to hide others.
Sorry for my poor english.
thanks a lot !!!
it's what I, not only me but all the chinese, need.
thanks million times.
I also want to know the exact way of hiding some input method, as I have been searching for the POCKET TWEAK you mentioned, but don't get any outcoming.
u can got it from here

You're really unbelievable! FTSwitchSIP comes out just one day after you posted to try to find some tool to switch SIP. Many Chinese users of Dopod 838 and 900, known as Wizard and Universel here, have been searching for such a tool for a long time. I am just one of them who is lucky to find it out first.
I've shared your amazing tool in the pdafans forum, I hope you won't mind.
http://bbs.pdafans.com/viewthread.php?tid=203195
Thanks a lot.
Got PocketTweak.
there seems no direct way of hinding input method.
Would you show me some hints?
I think it has a bug here. I have been using the rom of Traditional Chinese. Got several input methods. And hide some of them with Pocket teak. And install CE and PlumSIP. Now I have 3 input methods. 1. Zhuying ( as default) 2. Mengtian Hand Writing 3. PlumSIP. At the beginning, the switch seems ok. I am very glad and thankful. But when I swicth several times, it stuck and both plumSIP and Mengtian displayed. The PPC is hanged. Only reset can make it work.
Thanks your reply.
I'll update it on this weekend.
I wanna add some setting and test it again.
thanks a lot.
I've been searching for such software a lot.

the tool works fine.. maybe u can try to hide sme OEM sips u dont use and try awain.. may be a memory issue
How do I go about that then - just delete the registry reference to them?
Also can anyone give me a tip on how to locate specific bits of the registry - it took me ages to find the registry entry to pcm keyboard (i'm using regedit).
Ta
works perfectly with ipaq hx2495 (WM5)! thanks for posting this cool app!
OMG! Thank you for this. Actualy, I figured out that it's a last thing that I need to be happy with my Artemis. To be able to change small stylus-friendly SIP which I'm used to use in my office to somethig finger-friendly when I'm on the streed by HW button.
Thanks!
What about new version with ability to setup two SIP to cycle just between them? - but as I said, I'm completely hapy as it is.

Standard Keylock plugin for WM5, ...somewhere available?

Hello
Some WM5-Devices (PPC) have a Keylock plugin on the Today screen.
My device doesnt have it.
Is there any possibility to add this? Someone could extract it?
Thanks
Sven
Do you mean the simple thing that shows "device unlocked" or not? That you can enable in the standard Settings. Today section.
Jep, alredy this.
Greets. Daniel.
Try VJDeviceLock on your phone. If it doesn't work, it's not included in your rom yet. This is an OS feature, so I'm not sure if it can be extracted yet. I think it can...
V
Jes, its like that. :-( Doesn`t work.
In my M5000 GER is it not in the ROM. :-(
If you can extrakt, I am so happy. ;-)
Greets Daniel.
Check Matt's "Yet another device lock" thread. Towards the end of the thread someone's posted another app that does the same thing as the OS button locker.
If you don't like it, we'll try to extract the original I guess.
V
Hallo vijay555,
its very nice this Program, but the simply from Orange its enought for me. ;-)
If you can make extract this, than I`m happy for this.
Greats Daniel.
This may be what you're looking for
I cannot remember where I downloaded this from but it's a cab file for device lock. I was then able to create a shortcut to it using CLaunch, and therefor have it as a single icon on my today screen, as opposed to the line taken by the device lock standard plug-in. You could also map it to one of the buttons if needs be.
I hope this is what you are looking for.
pLock
This is running well on my Xda II WM2003SE..
http://pda.jasnapaka.com/plock/
pLock its allready the good one!
Super! Thanks a lot at all.
Greats Daniel.
Thx decknologist,
the DeviceLock.cab works well on my MDAIII/Qtek9090 WM5 (Helmi BA WM2k5 AKU3.2 Beta)
That was the icon I was looking for.
Greats,
dumpguy
i have a kinda the same problem, after a bi of a nasty crash with spbpocketplus, ive now lost a few items from my today screen..
i think that its a few things that the spb changed in the registry.
there are only 4 options in the settings / today item select, date, owner info, o2 calendar and tasks. these all work, but ive lost device lock, messaging, igo, pocket msn, last call, profiles, meters, running apps and shortcuts...
i had to boot into safe mode, then uninstall spb, and i think its because i uninstalled in safe mode that the phone half thinks theres a load of reg settings still in safe mode...
pLock has some flaws. I wrote to author, but no answer, and no new version.
Still find lock tool that locks screen without switching it off, but don't enable backlight when taps. Also locks all hw-buttons except one to fast lock/unlock function.

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?

Inesoft Phone 4 CallerID Problem

Hello!
I'm just trying the IneSoft Phone 4.4, because of its nice History features and callerID. I installed the trial version and initially everything worked fine. But after two days the CallerID does only show the default screen, instead of the skin i selected. Although I tried to select different skins and soft-reseted the phone I always get the default skin.
Does anyone has the same problem or any idea how to fix this issue?! (Reinstalling did not help!)
Or even better: Is there any free callerID supporting the "Mute Call" function (SUS2 unfortunately only support accept/reject call).
greetings,
gordon
Me too
Did you get any reply about this or find a solution elsewhere?
maybe because it's trial that's why it always displays the default skin.
I've searched many forums including Modaco and found a few posts from users having the same problem but unfortunately no solution
I dont think because its trial because initially it worked properly. The trial period is 14 days and it stopped working after three days. I checked the registry keys of inesoft and also the registry contains information to use the right callerID skin (standard_v.cid).
I'm uninstalling this program now and looking forward to try Iconsoft PhoneEx.
I had same problem and moved to Iconsoft Phone extender 1.2 which basically does the same function.
Hello! I've the same problem with IneSoft Phone 4.4, I've tried to uninstall the software then delete the registry keys and reinstall it again, the problem still here.
So I try the Iconsoft Phone Extension 1.2, it's look great and more smooth than the IneSoft Phone. However, I've found that the "#" button is no function after install this software.
So I'll get back to the IneSoft Phone, although just only could use with the default skin.
i have inesoft phone for about 2 months now but version 4.2 only but doesn't give me any problem like what you guys described

i tried this too but always mess up my bluetooth settings, did you experienced this also?

My first experience of winmo...

Hi Everyone,
Found this great site looking for forums for the HD2, seems every other leads to here in some way another.
Got my HD2 on Monday with Virgin, so in 5 days I've come to find it an amazing piece of kit yet ultimately annoyed.
I've already got a list of problems and annoyances:
Having to double tap and go into the email fully so it appears read
Tapping to reply to a text yet nothing happens
When using the 'phone' keypad it types in numbers
The phone screen basically crashing so when you press a button it doesn't show the unlock screen. Thus having to take the cover off then the back, then the battery
Pressing the x in the corner of an app yet going to task manager and its still open
The over sensitivity when typing a text and showing words that don't make sense in the predictive text
Having to f**k about for ages to get wi-fi off grrr!
Having to install 3.5 compact .net. I still don't know how to do it
I understand there is a cab for the text and app for the wi-fi but surely it shouldn't be like this. I'm not a technophobe or whatever you want to call one and like to think I'm pretty clued up on tech, (That's why I bought the phone) yet I haven't a clue what a ROM does nor how to install them. I can just cope with cabs ha.
It seems Windows/HTC slogan should be 'There's a cab for that'. (not good)
Anyway rant over and Hello! I'm sure I'll be doing more learning over the next few weeks!

Hi 27firesnake, hope you don't think I was being lazy. Thanks for the links though. I know I'll have to do some digging around, just thought I'd let people know of my story so far.

not to worry mate, this community is all about sharing and helping each other.
Hi there. I'll try to give you more "readable" info about the issues you mentioned. I'll just change the order of the questions...
Having to install 3.5 compact .net. I still don't know how to do it
You can use the official Microsoft link provided by 27firesnake, but you'll have to do some reading... The simplest way is to download a cab and install it directly on your phone. You'll fine one here (item #18). You should do this first, as many great applications (including BsB Tweak) need this system component in order to work!
I haven't a clue what a ROM does nor how to install them
Well a ROM is basically your operating system (Windows Mobile) + HTC Sense (homepage and tabs). You are currently an official RO (usually called "stock ROM" in this forum). What we need to know is what version you use? Most likely 1.43 or 1.48, which are not the latest from HTC. The most recent released ROM is 1.66 and runs smoother and might give you better experience overall, even though there no major updates (just a compilation of fixes). Anyway, some people manage to get "not yet released official ROMs" (usually called "leaked ROM") and are able to install them on their devices. The latest leaked ROM is 2.07 (that should appear on the T-Mobile HD2). Anyway, I would not recommend installing a leaked or cooked ROM for the moment, since you're still a newbie and just received your device...
Simpler answer: you should install the official ROM 1.66. Try to go on the official HTC website to do so. If your serial number is rejected, you should contact your carrier (Virgin) to know when you'll be able to download it. People here will advice you to install HSPL to be able to bypass this protection, but as I said, you should wait a bit more, when you know Windows Mobile more. To learn more about that subject, go to the link in my signature.
Having to double tap and go into the email fully so it appears read
Well this doesn't seem to be a problem, or I don't understand? The email appearing in the Mail tab are just "previews" of your email and you should tap to get in the "real" e-mail application to read them fully.
Tapping to reply to a text yet nothing happens
I don't understand. You're not able to answer to a text-SMS ?
When using the 'phone' keypad it types in numbers
Again, this doesn't appear like a problem. I mean, you should compose phone numbers when in the phone application. If you write the beginning of a number, you'll automatically see the contacts whose number begin that way. Anyway, if you prefer, you can use the People tab (then "All People") to choose a contact typing the first letter (instead of phone number).
The phone screen basically crashing so when you press a button it doesn't show the unlock screen.
Is it real crashes or just freeze? I mean, I you wait for a long time, like 1 to 5 minutes, the lockscreen doesn't come back? Many people, including myself, reported some freezes from time to time, but the new ROM 1.66 really improved thing on my side. You might look for this thread for more and this one too.
Pressing the x in the corner of an app yet going to task manager and its still open
OK, this is easy to solve. Just install the "Duttys HTC Task Manager". It will install a task manager and enable the closing of any application using the cross. You can find the cab here (tip #7).
The over sensitivity when typing a text
The latest ROM 1.66 decreases the sensitivity of the touchscreen. If you can't install it, the easy way to solve this is to install the (very recommended) tweaking application called "BsB tweak". There are a lot of simple tweaks you can ON/OFF. One of these is called "decrease sensitivity" or something like that. If it's still too sensitive, then you can install the fixes found here. Just to be sure you don't have a flawed unit, check if you touchscreen has the following problems (go see the youtube videos too).
showing words that don't make sense in the predictive text
I don't have answers for that one, but I know the predictive is not the best on this mobile. You have two options:
1 - improve your typing thanks to the less sensitive touchscreen (if you make less errors, the prediction will be more accurate )
2 - install an alternative keyboard like Touchpal or maybe Swipe...
Having to f**k about for ages to get wi-fi off grrr!
Well, there are numerous ways to solve this issue.
- you can install a shortcut on you home page for the (already installed) "Comm Manager". Comm Manager is already installed and was designed for you: it is a collection of ON/OFF switchers (wifi, bluetooth etc).
- you can install an application that simply switch wifi ON/OFF. Then you install a shortcut on your home page, so you simply tap it to enable or disable wifi. You can find an application like that here (along with a lot other more)
Hope this long post helps
Smaberg's WiFi toggle cab (sticky in the apps and themes section) is a godsend (as is the BT Toggle cab). I have the 20 shortcuts cab installed so that on the top row I have shortcuts to each of these on the homescreen, along with my two most used apps and main contact (girlfriend).
BSB tweaks is definitely recommended also.
When you type a name into the Phone dialler, it may show numbers, but it narrows your options by alpha, so providing you can spell the name you're after it works just fine. You'd have to have triple tap letter selection there otherwise, which is just far less efficient than whats on offer.
guy .. i have experience something in my device .. i was wondering why my device keep pop out the error msg like service.exe and the device.exe ..
it is quite annoying because everytime pop out those error msg .. i have to open the back cover and soft reset it .. it is very serious .. happened everyday for 3 to 5 times ..
Tapping to reply to a text yet nothing happens
Yeh, you have to wait (if lots of messages) for it to load above. You can see this by the scroll bar on the right becomming shorter.
Once it has finished loading those messages, you can tap and it will start composing.
But if you tap before those messages have loaded; it does nothing.
