Missing BT icon

Hi, guys.
All of a sudden, BT icon (the one that's located in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen) just dissapeard :x I didn't install any new software, didn't perform a reset, or something like that, it just dissapeard for no obvious reason. Any ideas how I could get it back on the screen?
TIA,
Zeljac

it once did that to me a softreset got it back though

That was the first thing I tried but the situation is still the same

what if you go into settings->connections and choose bluetooth and change it from what ever it's set to and press ok
and maybe change it back again

If you have the last version of BTTools you can push in the new BT icon and, inmediately, make soft reset.
Of this form I have the old BT icon again.

Thanks a lot, mate. I did exactly what you told me, and the icon came back...
Tnx,
Zeljac

Ooops, here comes the problem again After gettin my BT icon back, I removed BTtools, and the icon dissapeard again. I tried the same trick again but with no results. So my question is open for your answers once again

I have the same problem, it was a day or two after I installed and removed GB-Soft Tweak, it went missing ... reinstalled the Tweak, after a few soft-reset, it's gone again until now. Do you have this Tweak installed?

Have you already tried to change \HKLM\Services\BTIcon\Keep or any of the other settings under this key?
Hope that helps
Matthias

Hmm, a very strange thing happend. I synced it another computer (the one that I sync to maybe once or twice a week) and after that the icon just came back. So far, it's still there. Hopefully, it will stay that way :wink:
Anyway, tnx for all your replies...
Btw, I don't have GB-Soft tweak installed, and I was just about to start playing with the registry when the icon just appeared again.
Greetings,
Zeljac

the value for that registry key (keep) was set to 1. so, I set it to 0, soft reset, still no sign of BT icon.
then i set it back to 1, soft reset ... BT icon came back on!
however, in the next reset ... it's gone. something is messing with it in the background.

I also need my BT icon back.. I-Mate ROM 1.72 Any help, please?

I had the same problem. Days ago I installed skin for the keyboard and mysteriously icon BT returned.

I think there may be a link between the missing BT icon and the number of Today plugins installed or events being processed at startup. I think it is an Operating System issue.
For example.
If I soft reset my unit I can get the BT icon to vanish.
If I then deselect any today plug in and soft reset again the BT icon re appears. However if I do not deselect a today plug in and soft reset the BT icon does not reappear.
So perhaps it is related to a timing of events on load when starting?
Ed

This could be a good clue. The timing on startup sounds like a good theory to the problem.
If you look in the registry under [HKLM/Services/BTIcon] there are some interesting keys named: Index, Keep, Order and Context.
Anyone know how these are used???
(The keys "Order" and "Index" seems most interesting)

Similar to what I have said but that thread says to uncheck every today plug in. I have found you don't need to do that. For me just unckecking a single plug is in enough.
I'm pretty sure it is a loading issue.

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?

Help! Slow input type selection window!

When you need to input text, you can click on the icon at the bottom of the screen to bring up the text entry area. You can tap on the little triangle beside the icon to bring up a window to select between block recognizer, keyboard, letter recognizer, phone pad, and transcriber.
On my 8125, it is taking a long time for this window to pop up after tapping the triangle. It is taking a few seconds, when it used to take maybe 1/3 of a second. It is quite frustrating!
Why is is doing this? And what can I do to speed it up like it used to be?
This has happened before. It was when I first got the phone and was installing apps and games on it. One day I noticed this slow behavior, and I ended up doing a hard reset and slowly adding my apps and registry tweaks back on one at a time to see what would cause the problem. Well, nothing caused the problem and it stayed fast for a long time.
Then yesterday I updated to Summiter's latest ROM and started adding my apps back on. This text entry type window was working just fine through most of it, and suddenly as I'm finally finished putting everything back to where I want it, this problem is back!
Help! I don't want to do another hard reset already!

I have the same problem, I use transcriber as SIP but since it takes so long to show up when you click the triangle, I just put a shortcut to transcriber.exe in the start menu folder. So, I just use the Programs menu, it's much faster

I like to switch between letter recognizer, keyboard, and transcriber. I suppose I could put links to them in the start menu, but it would be so much nicer if I could just figure out why it's being so slow!
Any ideas?

I've read this is due to having MS Voice Command installed, although I haven't confirmed this myself.

I have the problem and never installed Voice Command, so there must be another explanation

anyone idea what the keyboard exe is called?
thanks

This is supposedly caused by a bug in the OS. I use an application called 'Smartskey'. There is a setting that talks about reboot notification for a Wizard. This affects the time it takes for the input method choice popup-. See the text about it from the manual:
REMOVEDUPSDDAEMON=0 (0 or 1)
Only for HTC Wizard. The function is originally not related to SmartSkey. The HTC Wizard contains a program called sddaemon that is the voice command program for wizard. It contains a bug that it will automatically create one more
notification for each reboot. It will make the program slower and slower after a number of reboot and overflow the notification system. To set this to 1 will automatically remove the duplicated notification event. If you are a user of Wizard, it is suggested to set it to 1. The flag is harmless for other machines.
I cannot remember where I downloaded the program, but if you search this forum, you should be able to find a copy.

i dont use smartskey, so is it something else causing my slowdown? i dont understand.
is that a reg key your talking about there?

Smartskey isn't the problem. It solves a problem with the OS. zIt appears that every time the device restarts, it makes a record in a log file somewhere. Eventually, the log is so full, it takes longer and longer to pull up the menu. I don't recall all of the details, but I found it here. You can probably search to find more information.
The setting I put in the post is a smartskey.ini setting to resolve the problem.

thanks, might give it a try then

my brand new TYTN (Vodafone 1605) it says that I have 1 unread sms although I don't have any sms's in my inbox.
any ideas?
thanks.

have u checked all your inboxes? i.e. MMS, SMS, emial etc ?

it is called phantom sms...try this link
Moderation: Link removed - no longer valid/exists

The link's Dead, use this instead. FixUnreadCount.zip. This will remove all messages from the Today screen. Works like a giff for me.

This util saved me the insanity of always having 1 unread SMS message, when didn't. Thanks guys!

How to use the zip-file
Maybe a stupid question - how do I use the zipped file ?? I have one uread sms that I would like to get rid of on my tytn.

The file downloads as a zip file.
Extract it using winzip.
It will unzip to an EXE file. This is an exception to the usual rule that you run EXEs on the PC, in this case move it to your device SD Card using active Sync explorer button or by using a PC card reader. Once on the device tap it to run it.

Unread SMS
Thanks for your help - it worked !!

I get 1 undread sms message after i installed the palm message app.. Tried this and it didnt clear it.. Any ideas how to get rid of that?

yea i get that palm 1 txt too.. i have to delete all my palm msgs then make sure the app is closed out then start it and that fixes the issue

fixunreadcount.exe didn't work for me either so here is what I did:
1) Backup using Sprite. Uncheck messages so they aren't included in the backup.
2) Hard reset the device
3) Restore using Sprite
4) Re-setup your email accounts
How to hard reset (from the wiki):
Hard Reset **NB** This cannot be performed while the device is connected/charging!**
* Press and hold both soft keys
* Using a stylus, press and hold the soft reset button at the bottom of the phone
* Keep all three buttons pressed until the keypad lights turn off and then flash
* Release the soft reset button while still pressing the soft keys
* Let go of the two soft keys once the message "This operation will delete all your personal data, to manufacturer default" appears on screen
* Finally, press the green call button to perform the hard reset, or press other key to cancel

Whew...
Thanks for this post. This has to be one of the most annoying glitches I've encountered with my phone. For the first couple of days, I'm like; ok, no big deal. I'll figure it out, or I'll just get by with the dumb little message showing a text. But after 2 days, I had to figure it out somehow. ATT tech support is useless. I'm not going to factory restore!!! That's simply not an option.....
Long live this board and it's contributors. This find was GOLDEN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!

1 unread sms on Rhodium (TP2)
Hello,
I've got a stuck SMS message since the end of November, I find this very annoying and I've tried everything! I even dumped out all the messages once, after I've clicked 'm all..
Anyway.
I'm an owner of a Rhodium with WM6.5 (1.88.404.3) version, I've installed it around 20th Nov. jl
I hope someone does have a solution for me,
Dr. Sun

"I've tried everything" doesn't help us much.
Did you run http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=219102&d=1250917002
If not then try it.
If you have, run it again, possibly twice. Following each attempt do a soft reset BUT NOT by sticking the stylus in the hole. Soft re-set by LONG pressing the power button until you get the warning message.
(Just ramming the stylus in the hole can actually delete the changes that runnng the program has just made - so don't do it. The program makes some changes to the "registry". Unfortunately registry changes are not "written back" immediately - thus doing a stylus in the hole reset may be too quick and the changes lost forever. Doing a "long press" ensures all pending write backs are done before the reset is executed - which is what you want.)
Mike

Thanks a lot for this contribution.
FYI: I ran it twice, but it didn't fix it. Then I restarted. Then ran it again. Then it fixed it.

Need help - Registry Edit for notifications

I recently modified the registry on my ATT 8525 to eliminate the SMS Sent notification message (thanks to those that posted the info here, it's a god send!)
Anyways, during the process I inadvertently modified the wrong notification line and now I do not get any notifications when my alarm clock goes off (other than it going off to wake me up). I can't snooze it or even turn it off though, as the notification prompt doesn't appear.
I now have to turn off the volume, modify sounds/notifications to all off, and wait about two hours for the system to stop activitating the alarm. Needless to say I've missed many a phone call during this two hour "silent" timeframe.
Can anyone tell me where this is and what the setting should be?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hmmmm... after looking over the wiki I can't see that you affected anything else in that directory...
Was the change you made in the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings directory???
You might need to hard reset to get rid of the problem (resetting the registry back to stock). But I would wait to see if anyone else here has info that could help you.
I suggest you look around and get the palm threaded sms app (you can warez it well!).... Its the best thing since sliced bread! (Just make sure to change the default mms settings, original .cab was based on sprint network, but its very easy to change)
My two cents...

I don't recall. What I did was change what I thought was the setting. Then I sent a text. It didn't work, so I changed it back and started over. I did this three times. I think I changed something and forgot to change it back? Problem is I don't know what I didn't change back
I really don't want to do a hard reset, but I'm getting to that point. Now my phone alarm won't go off -- I think there are too many notifications back logged. When I soft reset it sounds like it's trying to play 100 alarms all at once
Can anyone else help out?

Indeed it may have happened anyway as the notification queue does get clogged. So before a hard reset you could clear duplicates using the likes of Scarybear Check Notifications (freeware) OR Sktools OR Memmaid neither free but have many other features beside clearing duplicate notifications.
Mike

Thanks for the advice...however, I can remove the notifications HKCU\System\State but it's only temporary. (scarybear does not list that program on their site any longer)
I really need to find out how to get notifications turned back on!
I know it's a reg edit that I missed changing back, I just don't know which one as I didn't realize the problem for a couple of days.

Anyone else have any help? Surely someone out there knows where these notifications are in the registry

Personally I say just take an hour of your free time and hard reset. Make sure everything is all good.
You might also use a program like HTCustom to do the regedit for you next time. That way you won't inadvertantly change anything.

Well I was really hoping to avoid a hard reset when all I need to do it make one simple registry change But it does appear that I may have to do it since no one seems to know where this change needs to take place.
I've probably spent an hour going through the registry looking for anything that could possibly be the alarm notification, but I've had no success.
Thanks to those of you that offered advice, I do appreciate it. Guess it's time to bite the bullet.
