Hi,
I have XDA Exec, and after a bit of hard work the machine has been working fine for about a month. However, today for no apparant reason one of my soft keys has broken.
The particular key, is the "New" email softkey in "Messaging". Funnily enough its broken in any of my email accounts (including if I add a new one) but SMS account and Activesync email accounts still work ok. When I say broken, I mean that the left key on screen to start a new message doesn't do anything. The right hand key which brings up other menu options is still fine.
Has anyone else come across this - and if so is there any alternative to hard reset (which is where I'm thinking this will all end up!), since any number of soft resets makes absolutely no difference at all.
Thanks
Sorry - should have confirmed. Soft resetting the machine, makes absolutely no difference at all.

Hi All,
Firstly allow me to commend everyone who has helped bring the wm2003se upgrade to the Himilaya device series. As usual i was reluctant to risk my device as it is a true workhorse, but the temptation proved too strong and i went for the upgrade anyway. So far it seems to be working ok except for two things. The first is the voicemail icon that appears in the taskbar at the top of the screen. it is constantly beeping and informing me that i have a voicemail, however when i call my voicemail - nada! no messages. Hang up and get informed of a new message, one that my phone has apparently made up! The second thing is the restore feautre in activesync. After the upgrade i tried to restore a backup on my work pc, i was denied due to "backup is for an older type of device" or summit like that. Once home i tried the same proceedure on my pc there and guess what? it worked first time, only after soft resetting it only restore some items (like my docs folder) but not others like settings, progs etc. Another weird thing is that the contact harwdare button became disabled with an error message saying no mapping found, went to the buttons menu in settings and there was no option to assign the contact action to the contact button? I have since resolved most of these issues except for the voicemail thing that us really annoying me. If anyone can suggest a fix, please please do!
Cheers all

Hi!
My device stopped working last night (would not power on or react to anything, including an attempted soft reset). Removing the battery brought it back to life, but resulted in a hard-reset.
I just restored it from a recent backup, as I did a few times before. Only when I tried sending an SMS I get a message telling me there is no entry for the contact (even though it looked up the number just fine). Then the SMS account was gone, I only have the ActiveSync one and one other (that used to be the SMS account labeled only 'Inbox').
I did a quick Google search and fount out the complete HKLM/software/Microsoft/Inbox/SVC/Sms key is missing. Can somebody please Export the full key and post it somewhere (I'm on T-Mobile in Austria, if that matters, but other from the SMS service number, I guess things should work fine with any key).
Thanks a lot and hope I can fix things that way, I don't want to dpend another 90 minutes on copying the backup to the device.
Thanks,
Darkguy
Right,
Tytn on Orange (UK)
using Oranges latest rom release.
The issue is when i perform a Soft reset the device loses recent SMS messages.
sometimes its just the last recieved message, sometimes its all the messages recieved in the last hour or so.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Maybe you left "message" app. open when you reset the device? If you use some software to reset the phone, the software maybe automaticly close the opened applications before the reset for you. But the pin hole doesn't.So use some software instead of the pin hole,or close the opened app. before you reset the device.Just give the chance of saving data to the applications.
Yes, I remember this isssue a while and back and used to have exactly the same problem. I don't have it anymore since using the WM 6.1 ROM's with the threaded SMS or if I use the Palm threaded SMS app.
Thanks, I'll give those things a try, and i'll see if Orange have got round to releasing WM6 for the hermes, I'd quite like WM6, but also quite like the simplicity of orange's "it just works" releases.
I have setted up my two account with no problem.
I can receive the email and displayed in preview, but... when I tap on the screen to open the mail... nothing... the mail seems to be tapped (the graphical effect of the sheet bounced back) but the mail still no opened.
I have to select "All" in the left bottom of the screen and go to Windows Mobile "core" to manage the account and mail.
This problem is popped out two days after i have take my Leo, the first two days all worked good.
I think I have setted some things that I have to "not touch".
Any ideas?
This is a known issue, which you would have found, had you searched the forums.
Open the start menu and lock your phone with the bottom left softkey. Then, when you unlock the phone the problem will be gone.
warezhunt?
Well, I dont know what happened but now it works.
I tried uninstalling some applications but it didnt change anything so maybe it got something to do with a registry tweak or the hebrew cab on our devices.
anyway strange thing is that today it started working again but pretty slowly - it takes about 5 seconds till it opens the mail.
the workaround that have described johncmolyneux worked great for me!
Hello all,
Just bought my Leo and I must say im very impressed. Coming from a TP/Fuze I must say I like the speed and off course the BIG screen.
I just have one big problem…………… notifications.
I don’t get past notifications working on my Leo. For example; Today is Monday, I have a meeting on next friday of which I set a reminder for a week before. On Monday (eg today) I don’t see the reminder on my screen. The same with tasks.
I still see this notifications in outlook, no problems there. The reminders seem to disappear.
For me this is a big problem which I never had on my TP. I live by these reminders so for me they are very important. Also one thing I noticed is that the reminder icon in my pocket calendar doesn’t show up.(related ??)
The other symbols work just fine.
Offcourse I tried hard reset (three times), cleaning out duplicates, quadruple checked my settings etc.
Can any one tell me whats the problem and how to fix it ? If it involves disabling HTC notifications, this doesn’t work for me (tried the reg settings) but I would like them removed.
Id hope to hear from you !
FIX
Hello all,
After numerous hard resets, new official wwe roms, old official roms, rebuilded notification queues, new phone (went back to the store) 50 hours surfing the internet, trouble with my wife i think i got the solution. But first, i cant imagine im the only one, so for those who read this, a test if you wil.
Create an appointment using pocket outlook (not the htc calendar) with a reminder, than a task with a reminder. Let them both "remind" and soft reset using power off, power on (no soft reset program) et voila with me one of the reminders dissapears. Even withou syncing with outlook or exchange, just gone.
If u did try this, PLEASe let me know how this worked out with u because im going crazy !!
Well here is the solution (for me, and so far) After every step soft reset to be sure.
Install bsb tweaks, switch the windows notification switch
Disable the disgusting (and utterly annoying, for this was the key of my problem) HTC notification manager and enhancement as described in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=631449
Soft reset, do the test and the reminders are stil there ! No for syncing with my outlook and exchange and hoping for the best.
Let me know if this works for u.
Tnx and good luck !
