Forgotten Icon to change mode to Landscape

In my Qtek 2020i.
After the installation of some software. The Icon In the Bar of Today Screen for changing the mode from Portrait to Landscape are disapeared.
Some Knows how I can recovery It.
Thanks for all,

Uninstall the software and it comes back...
I had the same with PPCProfiles-Pro...lost the icon after installing. Removed it, the icon came back. It's a shy thing that icon, it's done it before too.
Cheers
Ant

Ok, but I don't Know what of the software that I have Install in the pocket is the cause of them.
I would like to Know, If there a key in the registry that do this action.
Thanks,

Yes please could someone confirm weather or not there is a reg key/tweak/hack for the XDAIIi as the sreen icon dissappearing 'trick' is really annoying.
Would greatly apprecaite a reply soon,
LydaiChris

if you search for 'landscape' in the registry you'll find the solution.
In HKLM\System\GDI\Rototion there is a dword key called 'HideOrientationUI'. Set it to zero to unhide/reenable it.

STILL NO LUCK
Can you suggest anything else?!?!?!?
It seemed to dissappear as soon as I increased the glyhe reg hack

Remove the SPB Software, I believe it is PocketMon or Space Saver
S

if it disappears again then there is a tool active which wants to mess with that registry key. I've tried that SPB tool also and it made my landscape icon disappear indeed, as some other tools... so get rid of that tool cause the landscape icon is far more useful.

Hi.
When I first got my XDAIIi, I did a corporate install.
What is SPB ?!?!
Is that anything to do with the o2 software cd that comes with the XDAIIi!? i.e. the GPRS montor, ZIP etc... !??!
Is there another reg hack anyone?!? :?:
Or a piece of software that actually resolves the problem!?
I would greatly appreciate a reply,
Lydiachris

the spb grps toold doesn't conflict with the landscape on the xdaIIi, I've kept it running and it didn't cause any issue.
The only option where it is specified for the landscape icon to be viewed is in the registry key as mentioned earlier... dig the registry.
If then, the icon disappear still not appears or keeps disappearing, as that registry key rightfully specifies the icon's being, then it has to be other (additional) software which prevents it from appearing, e.g. the option to prevent the icon from appearing once the additional program built-in/in is loaded.
Try uninstalling the corp. lot and reinstalling what is necessary I'd say.

as to the fact which application messes which with the icon... at least a few for sure, and as I recalled from tryouts I an spb tool did mess with it.
-scuzi mi errata, pero soy humana-

Is there a program which should be in StartUp to make this work? I checked the registry key (I have the same problem) and it is set to zero, which the previous posts seem to suggest means it should display.

Maybe it has something to do with "Today Timout" ?!?!?
Mine is set to 4 hours.
Does anyone know what the Today Timeout actually does!??!?!
Cheers,
lydiachris
ps. yeah is there any software we can shove in the startup folder which will keep the icon there?!

Sort of solved for me
I removed a bunch of "no longer used" programs last night and the icon mysteriously reappeared after a couple of soft resets. Wierd.....

Yeah but does anyone know what the Today Timeout option does?!?!?!
I ahve searched long time in this forum and cannot find it anywhere!!!

If you leave the device off for longer than the today timeout, you will get the today screen when you switch it back on, otherwise you will get the last application used

Calendar gives no reminders on Jasjar

Hello,
I am new on Windows Mobile, coming from Nokia 9500, so I feel a little bit stupid, because maybe I did something wrong.
So when I set a reminder in the calendar I hear nothing any more, neither a notification... abslutely nothing.
The reminders on Outlook on the PC just work normally on the same appointments.
Settings:
[email protected]:
Events : on ---- Programs + Notifications : on
Screen taps and hardware buttons :| off
Tab notifications, Event: reminders: Plays sound : on Alarm1
Dislplay message on screen and flashlight both are on
I did a soft reset, and I played a little bit with different sounds when the problem seemed to have begun.
When the PC however does the alarm it nicely switches the alarm off in the Jasjar.
My phone is quite useless without a calendar warning.
Huib

My Jasjar becomes quite useless without an agenda that warns
Nobody has a clue?
I can set the agenda but nothing happens. The time just passes but no warnings whatsoever.
Huib

Oh hell, sounds like the alarm bug may be making an appearance on WM5...that would be DISASTEROUS.
Do this for us; download trial version of Pocket Mechanic (www.antontomov.com) and go to the notifications queue module. Click the button marked "Dup" or "duplicates" and tell us if it found any dups, and if so what they are (they will be tagged and yellow).
Just in case it's a stupidly simple thing, check the following;
- Can u play the alarm1.wav file from file explorer?
- Are you DEFINITELY setting a reminder for each agenda entry
- Is this reminder set to go 0 minutes before (ie don;t set a reminder for 5 mins time with an alarm for 30 mins before)
- settings>sounds&notifications>alarms>ticked
- Volume not 0: turn volume to 0 then back up again

I may do the antontomov later.
yes I can play alarm1.wav from file explorer.
OK: appointment duration from 16:00 till 16:05
alarm ( " reminder" it is called) 5 minutes before..
at the settings I ticked the Reminder event on play sound and repeat.
I do not see a volume option however.
I see options for flash light ( did never work) and vibration ( the same) I have the feeling it is not so much a sound problem as a problem that nothing is triggered when the moment is there.

Calendar Reminders confusing!!
I find this calendar thing pretty confusing too. I came to the conclusion that the reminder comes in the form of an on-screen notification and not an alarm, which seems pretty stupid, as you don't want to keep pulling your phone out to see if you have any appointments! :?
I hope I'm wrong, but could someone more knowledgeable in this area please clarify how to get an audible reminder in conjunction with an on-screen one please. And for the record, I know how to set a basic alarm, I just need to be reminded by sound or vibration of my appointments, else I can't get the true benefits of a personal digital assistant!

Wont modifying the "Reminders" settings in the notification tab of "Sounds and Notifications" do it for you???

I am sure it gave me an audible alarm before I ran into problems. Of course the agenda can warn you if working properly; also with a flash light even(!) or vibrato.

Well to be honest.... I have managed to get sound working on it before...I just can't remember what I did! :lol:
Please, if anyone has the time please explain how I get an alarm to ring in conjunction with the on-screen reminder. For example, when I go go into the calendar app and see the time slots for any given date, I assumed you could simply enter what you wanted reminding of, in that particular timeslot, and then choose to be reminded every 2 hours or something!!??!! I'm a bit perplexed by this. My SE700i worked in this fashion and I never got to grips with the PPC way of doing this. The bloody manual doesn't explain this either!

You're absolutely right about how to set the reminder, but the type of reminder (sound, message, vibrate) is set in Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications Tab > Change Event to "Reminders" and see what the settings are? Give it a go, I'm sure you must have "Display message on screen" ticked and "Play sound" unticked?

Thanks for thinking about my problem but I checked those settings out very prcisely.
I have ticked: play sound and repeat. I also have the display message ticked. I Use Alarm1 to keep it simple.
It is however possible that here is where the problem started.
Other problem, maybe related, is, that the phone ringtone sound can sometimes change in the last installed personal ringtone.
I changed it back of course.
I have a lot of people given a ringtone with their name in it, to take away the need of opening to see who is calling.
instead of a sound I record : this is John etc etc. But of course not new to your guys.
Works great, but sometimes my phone ring changes in e.g. " peter calling" as main ring tone.
But in the calendar case there is not even a reminder on the screen. The phone is just no triggering at all.

Nope all are checked! I'll look into it more seriously later today and post my findings back here. Thanks for your help. :lol: :x :? 8)

SOunds like hard-reset time dudes!
Just in case you think it's a missing feature that you have to live with, it's not: the calendar DOES alarm for every reminder, provided you set that. You get an on-screen notification and sound - depending on your settings. Further, this can be defaulted so that every new appointment does this without you having to think about it. Exactly the same as all previous PPC devices.

I had the same problem.
Hard reset is the only solution...
Be carefull what s/w you install on Jasjar!

This will be my first reset in Windows world ever.
Any tips and hints what to take care of before pushing the button?
I come from Nokia 9200 and up and there was a great backup facility before you hard reset.
As backup software is not available: Any tips and hints on what to write down before I do it?
I also saw that Windows may come with separate upgrade software.

The only s/w i had was the ewallet.
Get rid of it and reset. Now try if it works.

You meant soft reset or hard reset?
I presume hard reset, because after several soft resets without ewallet I still have the problem.

See 'Help' application for Reminders in Calendar!!
Stupid me! There's an in depth guide on hoe to use the calendar with Reminders in the 'Help' application on the Jasjar. Too many options for my liking, just confusing matters. basically, alot of the options are for syncing purposes and if no else has access to your PC, it really won't matter wether you set-up categories or not, unless you need your contacts etc grouped.
Bottom line, buy an easier to use application.

Alarm bug? What's that?
Some time ago I installed and played a NES emulator on my xda for a few hours wearing the headset, and after that two things happened; Sound didn't work, it got permanently stuck on headset mode (I fixed that) and 2), the clock disappeared from the upper menu bar, never to return. Alarms didn't work (at all) from that point either. Prior to this it had worked 90% of the time, with some mysterious exceptions that I think maybe your "alarm bug" could explain.

Notification error

Every time i push the "power on" button,
i got this notification error
Cannot execute
\windows\nrdwakeup.exe
what is this file?
Have you any idea why this happens?
thanks

I cant find that file on my JJ, google gives nothing. wierd file... does a soft reset clear it? what apps do you have installed that could relate to power?

Easy to solve:
Download PocketMechanic (www.antontomov.com).
Go to notifications queue module
FIdn the notification that has this path - it will be linked to a wakeup event
delete it
How it got there is another matter - some software that put itself into the queue and didn;t remove itself elegantly. Whilst u r there, remove duplicates (yellow icons) and do this reguarly. Managing your notification queue is ESSENTIAL on the JJ, and anyone who thinks it isn't is missing the plot.

I'm new to the Jasjar and Windows Mobile... can you explain what the notification queue is and why it's important to do this? Or point me to an explaination?
Thanks much,
Brett

@craigiecraigie4
this is in Italian
Bravo !!!!
Grazie !!!

Otimov: Glad it helped.
Brett: Notification queue is/was the primary cause of sh1t ont he XDA - alarm failures, slow downs, can't turn on, popup errors, etc etc.
WM5 SHOUDL have solved it all - but ti hasn;t:
- sddeamon.exe appears as a duplicate entry (within 1 day on a hard-reset JJ) and over a week you'll clock up several of these. Don;t know when the queue is defined as "full", but if u ever reach that you'll not get any new alarms, and loads of trouble b4 then too
- several apps start scriptxxx entries that seem to replicate themselves
- claendar app sticks ALL of ur repeating alarms straight into the queue - birthdays for the next year all entered in advance!
So it goes on. XDA had apps (scarybear etc) that cleaned the queue - BUT these targeted specific issues and DO NOT include ANY of the above. The only way to handle this at present is to manually delete entries using pocket mechanic. MemMaid does NOT enumerate the JJ queue. No other app yet handles this.
So, weekly u should check for :
- sddeamon dup
- \.\\notificatiopn.....script... entries
- any other dups that PM will find 4 u
- anything linked to "on wake up" event that you do not recognise as being something u installed eg eWallet!!! This can cause ur device to sleep and not wake up until u soft-reset - not fatal but inconvenient until u fix.
There will be a LOT more on this issue over time...

Mama mia, what a lot of useful information. But complicated for a new WM5 user.
I had a calendar that did not trigger sound or pop up notifications any more, and after a soft reset I heard all kinds of alarm music, hardly possible to stop.
But I also had E-Wallet installed.......
After a hard reset I also reainstalled E-Wallet as one of the last programs. Do you think I had better wait for an upgrade from them?
Huib

Alarms won't shut off

and the Cingular 8125 blinks orange, which apparently means the phone is sending a "notification" and the screen no longer comes up that allows you to snooze the reminder, or turn it off, etc. Soft reset and the phone comes up alarming like crazy, blinking orange instead of green, and same problem keeps on for an hour or so.
It happened some time after I installed Qusenetsoft News Reader and NetFront 3.3 Preview. I've uninstalled both programs, and still have the problem.
I'm thinking of maybe flashing the device with one of the newer ROM's here, since I'm still running with originals.
Anybody have any ideas as to how to fix this before I hard-reset again?

get CheckNotifications (google it, should get you right to the place you need to be), and use that to remove all duplicate notification items and maybe any other items that clearly don't belong there (be careful, though - there's items in there that should be there).
Other than that.. hard reset

Hi I agree with Zeboxx try check notifications - link to a prev post here where you can download it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=53061
If that does not work try the same feature in sktools - this seems to be better at removing stubborn recurring notifications and has worked for me. Google it demo should do that for you.

Alarm Problem

I've got a problem with the alarm clock function. Everytime I set a timing for an alarm and disable/change the timing for the alarm, it still continue to ring the following day. For example if I set it at 7.00pm yesterday and change it to 8.00pm today. The alarm will ring both at 7.00pm and 8.00pm. Any idea anyway to solve this problem? It's a minor problem but it does get on my nerves (=
Cheers.

Uncheck the box, and untick each day before you change alarm. OK in upper right. Go back in, make changes, check & tick as usual. This minimizes the problem for me. If you want a freeware to remove duplicates search Scarybear Check Notification.

Universal same story
My Universal had exactly the same problem, with both WM5 and WM6. may be a Windows bug?
In the HTC Universal topic in this forum, there's a lot of info to be found on this issue.

Scarybear's app is not really safe to use on WM6! Beware...it hasn't been updated for years now...
Try using SKtools instead for fixing the duplicate notification-entries...
These are probably causing your problem Steve
I had some alarm issues as well, and running SKtools after a number of reboots has fixed it. WM6 is a lot cleaner already than WM5 and WM2003SE, but sometimes there are duplicate items being generated (seems quite random; have used Kaiser for 2 months without problem appearing)...
