Lost the Bluetooth icon in my Mini

Dear All,
Suddenly, the Bluetooth icon which usually placed in tray is lost now in my mini.
How can I make it available again ?
Soft reset des not help...

make sure you have latest ROM for your mini. then check out this solution...
it involves some registry hacking and a freeware app called NoPlugins Today. It works on my i-mate JAM (with Qtek 1.11WWE ROM) there is a thread here but it is hard to search xda-dev so here is the procedure.
Part 1
Download and install ictinus NoPluginsToday (you may Google for it)
Make a shortcut for it and put it in the Windows\StartUp\ rename it to zzzNoPluginsToday so it becomes the last item on StartUp.
Part 2
Using a reg editor, I use Resco Explorer 2003
Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init make a new String Value, name it Launch99 and put in the locatiuon of NoTodayPlugins.exe (for me it is: \Program Files\NoPluginsToday\NoPluginsToday.exe). Save.
Soft-Reset and you should get your BT Icon back.
note: this fix makes soft-resets longer so be patient. do this at your own risk do a backup first. remember fooling around with the registry is not a recommended but sometimes essential practice.

Hi castro,
Thanks for your reply.
But I try with the other way.
Seeing the other thread about hiding screen rotate icon, I wonder if it is also available for BTIcon.
So I check my registry under HKLM/Services/BTIcon and found that there is no ShowIcon Dword. I do not why....
Make a new Dword and give the value 1, soft reset and then....... the Bluetooth Icon showed again.
I do not know it is the correct way or not.
Could you give any suggestion ?

hey if it works then I guess it is ok for me I used the work around I described

Slow Changing of Input Method?

Guys, I have a question.
I used to have an iPaq 6300 running WiMo 2003, when selecting input methods there is an arrow beside the input method you click on to bring up the menu that lets you choose between Keyboard, Block Recognizer, Transcriber or Letter Recognizer. This was instantaneous! The moment you press the arrow, the menu pops up and you can switch input methods instantly.
On my new Atom Exec though this is not the case. You have to press the input method icon first, which brings up the arrow, then click on the arrow, then wait like a minute before the menu pops up. What gives? Is this really how all WiMo5 devices work? Is this a problem with WiMo5 or with the Atom Exec in particular?
It is annoying because it makes it harder to switch between input methods. Could someone tell me the score on this?
Thanks,

My bad, I fiddled around with the Atom a bit more and fixed the problem by doing a Hard Reset. Now I set the PPC back up to how I like it and it's working flawlessly.

Hmm after some time the problem seems to be back. It looks like the phone bogs down with stuff after a while, causing this problem. I don't feel like reformatting, does anyone have a fix, or a program that cleans up and optimizes your PPC?

this is an issue of WM5.

It also happens to WM6. The more applications you installed, the slower it will get (not sure what kind of application though). Well, Atom Life has 1GB of ROM. Of course people will start installing a lot of applications.
Anyway, I read somewhere in the forum stating that if you have more than 10 today plugin installed, the SIP will take a some time to appear. The plugins don't necessary be active. I mean, the ones not active are also counted. I have not confirmed this yet though.

I have more than 40 programs installed in my atom. It didn't slow down that much (only 5 to 10%) but what I usually do is to backup everything first before I install anything. At the first sign of speed reduction or bugs, I just do a restore. I have more than 15 today plug-ins both active and inactive. However, one thing I noticed is that it is better if you install your non-essentials to your sd card. It doesn't matter if you do a hard reset, they will still be there and if you use a tray launcher or clauncher, you can configure the icons to reappear even if you do not re-install them. This way, you reduce the clutter in your main memory and at the same time save you the trouble of re-installing. The reconfiguration of the executable icon will take some time but it is still faster than re-installing 30+ programs. It is important though to maintain a storage of no less than 17MB. Once you go below this, you will really see the reduction in speed and will be pissed off with your PPC. By the way, do not use Opera or any modified IE (tab browsing and downloading. by the way, Opera is good with downloading but sucks in handling your PPC's memory) while doing something else with your PPC. It will really really slow down your PPC.

i posted this same thread sometime ago, but there was no solution. At last i discover the culprit. I see the difference in speed when i install Embedded Windows VB Runtimes. regardless whether i install it in the memory card or the main memory.

Got this info from another site, it really works.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
make WM5 SIP faster (加快輸入法) (not a joke)
X51V ENG A12 + Ce-Star 2.8R2A + Monster SIP + MS IME for JAP works well.
But I am not very sure "every WM5 PPC" works well, too.
After installing a lot of softwares, WM5 SIP becomes slow.
You can make it fast again.
1. install resco explorer 5.42 and resco registry at \Device
2. use resco registry to export the registry of
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID
to a file (like CLSID.reg) at PPC, or SD, or CF
donnot edit or modify CLSID.reg
3. use resco registry to delete CLSID
4. use resco explorer to execute CLSID.reg to import the registry CLSID back
5. turn off PPC, soft reset
It is amazing like magic.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Weird... it really works. Everything back to normal. Menu is displayed instantly after tapping on the list button.
I'm using Atom Life WM6, so this mean that it also works for WM6.

Urk Double Post

Aha! O2's proprietary software is a bunch of Today plugins! That may be the culprit. I noticed the a while later though after the O2 software was installed.
I have no perceptible slowdown on the Exec other than the input method switching. I just need to fix that!
My main memory is about 85% free (83.6MB) and yes I do install all the non-essentials to the SD card.
MightyOx I'll try your method hopefully this fixes this issue. While "upgrading" to WM5 I thought it would be a completely better experience, but I'm finding WM5 has issues and that quite a few things were done better in WM2K3 (like the SIP switching speed) or how about creating a new SMS message in WM2K3 you only needed 2 taps here in WM5 you need 3. *roll eyes* sometimes I wonder what developers are thinking when they take steps backwards like this.
On the other hand I love being able to rotate the screen, and Voice Command 1.6 was totally worth it.

It's not O2's software. It just happen to be the next software you've installed before the problem show itself. It can be any software. As I said in my previous post, it will happen after you've installed a certain number of software. I think it is WM5 and WM6 related.
Anyway, the workaround is already posted. So, I have no more complain about this problem.

Yeah, looks like it's not. I tried Mightyox's method, THANK YOU SIR my Atom is running fine again. It's like once you pile over some registry entries over the CLSID directory, it takes time to get it. So the solution is to delete the registry key and "re-enter" it so it goes back on top. Very strange but if it works then more power.

Tried it on my flame...Wow...works like a charm

P4350 small issues

Hi
(1)
I dont like annoying sound of opening/closing Start menu or choosing a menui item. To avoid it, I have to uncheck "Events (warning, system events)" item in Sounds&Notifications screen. However then I miss sound of warnings and system events I guess. How to disable sound for Start menu only?
(2)
When I ActiveSync with Exchange, ActiveSync keeps synchronizing endlessly. Its status is "Looking for changes", then "Synchronizing" and the same again and again without any limit. I just synchronize emails from Outlook folders. No matter if "DirectPush" or "Synchronize during"="When new items arrive" is turned on/off.
(3)
On the forums, BatteryStatusExt1.04.cab is being distributed. It doesn't work. I wonder what the file actually is. Original BatteryStatus tool has another filename and version as well.
(4)
smsOrganizer needs to activate using code from authors web. If you make a mistake (thats what I PROBABLY did), it will never run, even after reinstalling. Not nice. I can just wonder in what file or regkey the author stores the key:/
(5)
htCustom tool (tested version 1.4 and 1.5) completely not functional, throwing exceptions everywhere.
(6)
Any plugins to see Herald files in FAR manager (preferable) or Total Commander?
(7)
Any idea how to import VCF containing more items (not just one)? Seems Windows and Nokias have this problem. I already splitted one big VCF to 300 small VCFs and wonder how I'm going to import them. Clicking on them will take years..
(8)
My VCFs which Im going to import contain more mobile phones. Windows generally doesnt support it. In the address book, there is no option to add new field like on Symbians. How do you solve this situation? What do you do if you want to store more mobile phones? Of course lot of people have more mobile phones!
(x)
Why you use Rapidshare to store files? Please don't support those ****!
Great phone anyways. I dont care about money and this is the best phone I could find. Nasty size, high stability (wow, no single crash), fast synchronization, freaky keyboard (with sym.txt to be easily altered). Very happy with it

any hints??

Well i got you a hint for the last point (rapidshare):
Use http://www.xirror.com
Uploads all your files to 4 Sharedhoster automatically.

Or: www.putstuff.com
and some xda-dev user made an own host for the xda community. I don´t remember the mirror at the moment. But i will search.

no thanks, I actually DONT want to support ANY of filehosting services. I strictly say NO to making business from sharing files. Use torrents or whatever instead.
any help for other points (except 3 which I found out why)?

more points
what i found negative also is
- alarm can use only WAV files (no chance to wake up)
- M$ formats forced (WMAs everywhere, no details about MP3 songs in Info)
- regurarly, when i type with hw keyboard, arrows stop to work
- sometimes storage card disappears (+ had "StorageCard2" problem)
- low quality loudspeaker, people just cant hear me

- use a program
- use coreplayer
- not true
- not true

- ok im using a huge slow tool now, just to set the system scheduler...
- no problem
- true, even with remote control from Windows desktop, arrows stop working after some typing
- true, every morning, my scheduled events dont happen because the storage card is missing. but actually i see it's working, even if the drive is not corrupted (also happens sometimes)
- true, very bad speaker and microphone. loudspeaker is screaming and you actually dont hear voice. also people hear twice. also people dont hear you well generally. also, even with quietspeaker, people can hear you properly.

To your first problem I think all you have to do is uncheck screen taps. I had the same problem with activesync also. The problem turned out to be my firewall. Had to turn it off in order for the device to sync even if i set a permission first.
And if your still using WM5 I found this in the wiki:
Improve Sound Quality of Speaker Phone
You might have observed that when you turn on speaker while during a call, the other person has complained of too much disturbance on the line and can hear more of static then your voice. Here's a fix to improve mic sensitivity:
HKLM\Software\HTC\AUDIOGAIN(x)\RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME = CC (DWORD hexadecimal)
HKLM\Software\HTC\AUDIOGAIN(x)\EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME = CC (DWORD hexadecimal)
where (x) = none, 0, 1, 2
You can find most of the reg edits from HTCustom and just do em yourself.

Heres the actual e-mail pertaining to the activesync problem. This can also be found on the Microsoft Website.
Good afternoon
We are aware of the HTC P4350 memory card corruption problem Farooq. We believe that Windows Mobile 6 will fix this issue that you are experiencing. We are expecting this update to be available for download through the HTC eClub on our website at the end of July.
With regards to your ActiveSync problem, there are many things which could be causing active sync to not synchronise
with your computer. One possible cause could be your anti-virus software and
your firewall.
To solve firewall issues, please open up your firewall program and navigate to
the exceptions section. Here you can set the firewall to allow certain programs
and ports. You will need to make sure your firewall is set to "allow
exceptions", then in the allowed programs list you will need to have four
programs related to active sync allowed. the filenames are as follows, however
they may be called different names in this list.
wcesmgr.exe
wcescomm.exe
rapimgr.exe
astu.exe
Also you will need to allow the following ports:
Inbound TCP
990
999
5678
5721
26675
Outbound UDP
5679
Once these ports and programs have been added to the exception list, you should
find that Active Sync will now work with your computer. If you are still
experiencing problems, then try disabling your anti-virus software as this can
sometimes conflict with Active Sync. If you still cannot synchronise then
please phone our call centre and one of our agents can troubleshoot your setup
with you in order to solve this issue.
Thank you for your enquiry, Should you have any other problem, please do not hesitate to call us. Your Local number can be found at http://www.europe.htc.com/support/csbyphone.html

neptune, thank you very much for your reply. i have fixed most of my issues (they start with √).
(1) of course i have "screen tap" off, but Start menu still beeps loudly!
(2) √ FIXED somehow the problem disappeared - maybe by altering AllowLSP reg value, which was required to route internet from home PC to PPC.
(3) √ FIXED
(4) √ OBSOLETE - i dont care, will not search for some registry key to use the tool
(5) √ OBSOLETE still crashing - will not use the tool. I use ASergOptimize pack instead.
(6) would like to know. I heard TC plugin exists.
(7) √ OBSOLETE: i did it manually. it was really complicated job with lot of hacks, using regexp search/replace and manual import of all contacts one by one. I wish I never change platform again...
(8) √ OBSOLETE: again lot of hacking, I mapped Symbian fields to funny Outlook fields (e.g. "Mobile 2" -> "Car", "Mobile 3" -> "Radio")
(a) √ OBSOLETE I will use some tool. (I hate using separate tool for alarm. Why Windows doesnt have normal one.. I tried Gentimer tool, very slow one, crashing my phone on each event!)
(b) √ OBSOLETE - will use some tool
(c) BIG PROBLEM 1 arrows!!!
(d) BIG PROBLEM 2 morning schedules!!!
(e) wow thanks for this, will try it
overall, transfer from Symbian to Windows is not easy... a lot of work I had to do... however I feel much happier with it.
one note: interestingly, i find WM programs to be very small and take very small memory!

I sometimes had the same problem with the arrow keys on the keyboard.
Maybe you can fix the problem temporary if you switch to the Todayscreen and back again to your application where you type. For me this fixed it most of the time.
Dont know if i only was lucky because i did not got the problem often.

I get this problem very often, basically when I type any SMS and that's not acceptable.. It can happen several times when writing one SMS. That's toooo much. I want it to be fixed somehow..

never encountered a keyboard problem such as this in the past. If you havent tried changing the keyboard then i'm not sure what it is.

never had any of the issues written about here with my p4350
either with wm5 or wm6
maybe I have missed something, but have you guys tried the wm5 ruu update for p4350? (http://www.brightpoint.com/Brightpo...HTC_NOR_5.4.409.2_4.1.13.34_02.79.90_Ship.exe)
thats a norwegian ruu, but im sure you can get it from your provider..or wait for the wm6
sorry if im stating the obious here

WM6 Typhoon bugs and issues

It would be may be good to create a list of known bugs and other problems with the WM6 ROM for Typhoon. Please post here if you know about some bugs or strange behaviour.

I have been using this rom since yesterday and after few restarts, the phone remains stuck for about 3 minutes in the "mobile operator" screen during start up. Eventualy it asks for pin code, but after typing in, the time, operator and appointments information is missing in the home screen. I have flashed WM6 once again, but this phenomenon occurred again after application unlock and installation of basic software (xbar 2.5, pocket controller, Binaries smart explorer, auto keylock, smart time sync) + few restarts. Now I am searching for the reason if this is caused by some registry entry or by an incompatible software installed...At present I removed all the software but problem still present. Ready to make registry clean or hard reset...

lot of software incompability, mostly games,
-bug tcmp looks like the same most games have; there is sound but the screen will freeze in a few seconds (sound continues )

..tried to add T9 language according to instructions described at Ronswens pages for WM5. During writing sms I can choose the new language, but after choosing it only beep occurs when pressing a key. I suppose there should be changed also some another key in registry...do we have some experiences already with the T9 languages on this WM6 rom?

I have found the decision:
1)
We open "exe" a file with game in any HEX-editor, we find gx.dll and it is replaced on g0.dll
We clean the signature from a file by means of SignRemv and it is done new by means of Signed tool
To place the changed file back, and a file g0.dll to place in folder Windows
or 2) To replace a file gx.dll in folder Windows, in any a file-manager to put "read only" and restart (there can be problems with other programs)
As example Bustem
PS: forgive for my bad English

how do you make application unlock on wm6 ?

Java
is there Java support with this WM6 ROM? I can't seem to find it. Very useful for Opera Mini and Gmail standalone app.

Use regeditSTG2.exe to modify the following phone registry keys:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies0001001 = 1 (that will enable the rapi_config, 1 means full access to rapi config, 2 means user controlled access)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies0001005 = 40 (that disallows the check for security cirtificate etc)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies0001017 = 144
Run SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe from the PC with the phone connected via ActiveSync. This will unlock the phone.
Disconnect and switch the phone off then back on again.

Hi,
I can't use voice talk (via handset bluetooth) before in wm2k3 and wm5 i have the fonction to add voice command with contact, but now no.
It is normal ?
Thx.

...I also revealed interresting behaviour when you are trying to connect to internet via GPRS. There sometimes occurrs error message that it couldnt be established GPRS connection because of missing GPRS coverage. (the "G" is also missing in homescren icon bar). But I am sure there is no GPRS coverage problem in my location.
So in this case you have to go into the phone settings and choose your network again. Afterwards when you are re-registerd in your network, the symbol G is present in iconbar and you can run the GPRS connection. Sometimes prolongomenous procedure...

I had pretty much the same thing as a few of the others.
Xphone11
WM5 - WM6
It flashed all ok, the phone booted all good and worked fine - but then after around 15 min of running, reciving one call and 3 failed attempts at sycning it died.
Well - actually, I re-booted it for something and it never came right after that.
These are the issues which appeared;
Contacts wouldn't open (yet the proccess was fired),
Calendar threw a 'missing file' error,
Start menu wouldn't work (no response from the button),
GPRS service was dropped ("no service available" - even though there was and the phone could see it if you seeked for it),
Yet the phone recived text messages while in this state and while calling the phone it just wouldn't do anything - yet to the caller it would appear to just ring and ring (not a provided service).
An interesting thing - I found that by making a change to the home screen or theme would allow the start menu too function as it should and the the clock to be displayed on the home screen.
Could be an area worth investigating....
I've had a taste now.... I want WM6!!!
What can I do to help?

...it also would be interresting to know whether there is a possibility to run the USB modem - I couldnt find it in start menu/accesories nor in the windows folder...

Installing Asukal cab on X1 to input and read japanese in WM6.1

Hi,
I found a lot of infos about some fantastic files from Asukal that allows Japanese input and reading on windows mobile 6.1 devices. But it seems there are some differences in registry editing for every models to get all the characters displaying correctly and the right keyboard layout.
But I am still looking for someone who has actually installed those files on the xperia and a list of what to do exactly to get everything right.
So far here is what I found:
Everything we install has to be installed on the main memory and not on storage card or device will not boot anymore.
we have to install this file for output:
http://hn801.hkes.com/Data/Localize/LetsJapanNo6.zip
do a soft reset
And this one for input:
http://hn801.hkes.com/Data/SIP/IME_31J_F.zip
But we have to do some registry edit before the soft reset or the keyboard will not work. And maybe this patch will do the editing but I am not sure if it for HTC device or not and I am not sure anyway if Xperia is considered an htc device or not (because it is made in part by htc):
http://hn801.hkes.com/Data/SIP/Enable_IME_2.zip
there is also an Enable_IME_3.zip but I don't know what it is nor where it is.
do a soft reset
Note, if you don't install the Enable_IME patch before restarting, you will most probably have to hard reset your device.
So to make it short:
- LetsJapanNo6.cab
- soft reset
- IME_31J_F.cab
- DO NOT reset now!
- 2_Enable_IME_2.cab
- 2_Enable_IME_3.cab (not sure about his one)
- restart
I just got my xperia today so I did not tried it yet. If anyone has time to try, please report the results here. thanx all.

Some things I forgot to mention.
When you install those files the OS is supposed to stay in English (but I think some stuff like calendar get japanized but you can revert to english by reg edit).
Also the japanese IME is supposed to be the best you can find (better than Ce star cause it works with everything like the dictionnaries) and is the best at kanji recognition (you can draw a kanji with the stylus to search the meaning in a dictionnary!). there is a freeware that claim to do kanji recegnition but needs right kanji stroke number and order, which is useless for us learners cause if you know the stroke order you probably don't need to search the kanji.
So I can't wait to try this.

Strob were you ever able to get this working? I'd love to here a follow up on what happened when you tried install Asukal's on your X1.
I was able to get ce-star working pretty easily, but Asukal's sounds like a better option if its possible to get it working on the X1.

hi, may be someone have unicode fonts with hieroglyphs fo xperia?

Strob-さん
Just to let you know I managed to get LetsJapanNo6 and IME31J_F working perfectly fine on my Xperia.
You don't need Enable_IME_2 or 3, just install the two CABs and modify the following registry entry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e0010411]
"Keyboard Layout"=00000409
After that reboot and everything works, but the keyboard and SIP will default to かな. If you want it to default to alphanumeric, there's another registry entry to put in:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\IMEJP\3.1\MSIME]
"option3"=0000000D
The "D" is hex for 13, it's not a string.
The Xperia works great browing Japanese web sites, running EB Pocket and Google Maps user interface changes to Japanese.
Hope this helps you get it working on your Xperia.

YES!!! Finally it's working for me too! Thanks to Asukal!
