missed call notification

Recently got my hands on an XDA2, so you could say I am a newcomer to the world of the pocket pc.
One little gripe that I am hoping to sort out is the lack of notification when I have a missed call.
All that shows up is a small handset icon in the top navbar. Whereas all my other alerts display a speech bubble on the screen.
I have tried selecting 'display message on screen' from the notifications settings, but this doesn't change anything.
If anyone has any ideas how I can sort this out I would be grateful
Cheers.

try using MY|PHONE 1.4 plugin ... it's freeware

If you tap the missed call icon, it's supposed to display a notification bubble telling you how many calls you've missed. The bubble also shows a button that will open the Call History window where you can see your missed calls.

Thanks for your responses, i'm trying out Myphone now, I'll see how that goes, then consider hudsonmobile.
Cheers

If you go into Settings, Notifications and Alerts I think it is, you can alter the behaviour of the diodes on the top to notify you of many things.
Doing this, you don't even need look at the screen etc to see if 'something has happened' such as a missed call, sms etc.

I've downloaded and installed myphone 1.4, but after installation nothing shows up on the programs or settings tab. And when I check the install directory through file explorer, there are no files in the myphone directory.
I am presuming that I have downloaded a duff file. Can anyone point me in the direction of download sites for this.
Cheers

I don't think so. I never used that software myself (which means I'm just guessing here), but iirc MyPhone is just a Today Screen plugin. This means, go to Start -> Settings -> Today-> Elements, and check that it's listed there and has a check mark next to it.
Note that the OS has a limit on the number of Today Screen plugins it will display simultaneously. So, if you installed too many, some will simply not be displayed on your Today Screen.

got it, cheers daniel.
located - start> settings> today> items>
Checked the MYPHONE box and it's on my today screen now.
Once on the today screen, it is possible to tap and hold for additional settings.
Thanks for your reply.

Today - Main view

Hello,
When i boot up the device, i get the 'today' stuf, and then all links on the left hand side(messages, calls, o2, etc.)
How can i remove all this from main view, and use it like my laptop, just have the start menu and a wallpaper.
I can easily access the things i have on the front via the start menu anyway. Also, when i first got it this morning it asked me to put it into a specific profile, i had no idea what they were but i slelected personal (AFAIR)
Thanks

The only way I was able to do it (not being a genius) was to put the phone in corporate mode. Since I got it back from 'repair' (humph!) I can't even do that.

How do i do that?
Also, whats is the difference between modes, any idea?
Thanks mate

Click on Start menu then program and then choose install type.
I would suggest you go for basic mode if you are on O2 as a network.
The difference between Basic Mode and Corporate mode is that in Basic mode all the settings you need to use O2 are there for you where as in Corporate mode you get absolutely non of the settings or O2 applications.

Hello,
I changed to basic mode but all the 'today' stuff is still there, apart from the 'menu'
How can i just show the 'wallpaper'
Thanks for your reply, appreciated
thanks!

Do you mean the Tasks, Messages, Appointments, Owners Name, etc. ?
If yes, then you need to go into Start | Settings | Personal tab and click the Today icon. Next activate the Items tab. You'll find tick boxes for all the standard items there, as well as for any other applications that install Today plug-ins. Some plug-ins have options, so highlight each one and click the Options button if it's enabled.
HTH.

Program in Homescreen

Hello,
I want to put a program to the homescreen.
Can any body tell me how to do that?
I have a custom program and i can only start it from programs or the startmenu.
I want to put it on the home screen so that i can start i from there.
I hope someone can tell me that.
Regards,
Peter

You mean, as a Today Plugin?
If yes, well, that's a little more complicated A Today plugin is a DLL, so completely different than an executable: as a first general step, forget about anything else than C++.
For everything else, have a look here.

and here

I think you must use a launcher plugin, like orchid shortcut.

You can use cLaunch or Battery Status to put programs on the home screen.

Home screen with battery status and cLaunch. I used bs to put programs in the bottom system tray, camera, messaging, clear temp, etc. I used cLaunch to put numerous other programs on the home screen. One tap of the program icon will open that program.

I have a little question, how i can add easy shortcuts to the home screen ? I read you do it with batterystatus buth i see not that option there. Thnx for any help

Go to settings->Today screen->Items->Find BatteryStatus->click on it->you'll get "options" button on the right->click it, and find Tray icons tab on the bottom.

Make WM6.5 Start Menu icons movable and change start menu wallpaper?

Is there any way of doing this?
Thanks

You can use a program called IconChanger, it can place the icons where you want in the gridlist. Download it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567080.
When you open the program you just press MENU and Sort Current Items or something like that. Now you will see a list with all the names right, the first 3 is the first line in the startmenu and then the 3 following is the 2nd line and so on.

Thank you for your reply. But can you change the wallpaper for the honeycomb as well?

Yes you can, go to settings/today and disable TF3D, then go to pictures & videos (or album, I'm not sure which one) and find the wallpaper you want, tap and hold it till you get a list, chose "use this wallpaper as background" or something like that, set the transperency to 0% and you're ready to go.
And btw, go to settings and re-enable TF3D of course

In the later versions of WM, you can actually drag and drop the start menu icons around without the need of a 3rd party app.
Most WM6.5.1 roms will support this but WM6.5 does not.

Windows Menu Order Home Screen

Ok i know a few of you would like to do this, and i think its been asked before but nothing turns up on search.
What the hell is it with the windows home screen, icons all over the place, no real easy way to move them, or order them.
I have tried a few programs but they mainly just seem to mess things up, i have also tried organizing all my icons into folders in windows, while it does sort of work there are still things you cant move, or it just does not go to plan, i know in 6.5.1 there is an option to re-organise icons how you like, but surely there is a way for 6.5?, its driving me nuts, there is crap all over the place with no organization to it.
Example i do things like this, create folder for the following...
TOOLS
MUSIC
VIDEO
ONLINE
NAVIGATION
ECT...
And place corresponding progs into it, so you have some idea as to where a certain program is, its just neater.
Any ideas anybody?, i came across a site where some chap had written a program and had done everything i want to, but it didnt work for me, just kept crashing.
Jesus i could even do this on my nokia.....

Go to \Windows\Start Menu. There you can create folders that will then show up in the start menu and you can reorganize your shortcuts to those folders.

Use JWMD Icon Changer, it works on the HD2.
I'm obsessive about my Start menu order as well, so I definitely can tell you that program works. You can even change the icons since some programs have tiny jagged icons.

Use JWMD Icon Changer
Thats what i tried, but it does not seem to work and its cumbersome.
What am i doing worng?

What problem are you having exactly? It's not really cumbersome, it's a lot nicer than the other alternative which is Showaco's reStart (that one doesn't seem to work on the HD2, anyway).
If you have used the Windows feature to move icons up/down your Start menu list it will confuse this program, so you need to tap any icon you moved in that way and reset it to where it was before.
Then go to JWMD, browse to the folder you want to organize, click on tools and select arrange list. In the next window you can do organize your icons alphabetically or however you like. Then click save and restart your device and it should all work.

How am i supposed to remember what icons i moved in windows, i moved loads, maybe would explain why its not working.
So back to my original point, it does not really work....
Unless i can do a reset of the icons somehow?

If you tap on an icon and it gives you an option to move it to the bottom, it means you moved it to the top using the built-in method at some point.
The program works, it's not its fault you don't remember which icons you moved. If you don't believe me I can post for you a screenshot of my properly alphabetized Start Menu.

Yes i understand that the program is not meant to know and its not its fault, but bear in mind i have been fiddling with this phone for 4 weeks, theres no way in hell i can remember whats been moved where?.
Is there anyway to reset them all in one go, or it makes the prog pretty useless.

I told you, if you tap and hold on an icon and instead of giving you the option to 'move to the top' it gives you the option to 'move to the bottom' it means you used Windows' built-in way to rearrange those icons.
You can go through your list and move all the ones that let you to the bottom and leave the others where they are. Then try Icon Changer and see if it works.
Alternatively you can just hard reset your phone... or wait until a new ROM comes out... it shouldn't be too long away now and that will erase all your data anyway.

ah ill wait for new rom, to much hassle

Well, you're welcome anyway.
