The contacts icon on my 8125 has never shown anything but the generic program icon. Is this correct? How can I change it. I have searched the forums for the contact specific icon with no luck.
Thanks,
Lee
anyone have any ideas?

It has taken me about a week and numerous hard resets to pinpoint the problem, and how to reproduce it. :evil:
It seems that the Mini notification bubble, which appears when there is more than one icon in the notification position in the title bar, displays a pop up bubble full of square boxes instead of individual notification icons, eg headset, missed calls or SMSes.
Here's how to reproduce it. You will need to have the following set up:
1. Have a .wmv video file on your SD.
2. Make sure your bluetooth headset is working fine with your Mini. You should see a headset icon on the title bar.
3. You need another phone (mobile, line phone doesn't matter as long as it has no caller non-display) to test this. Let's call it the control phone. Make sure you assign the control phone to a dummy contact, and assign a photo to the contact.
Here's how to test.
1. Open windows media player and play the .wmv file. Switch to full screen, switch back, and close the app.
2. Use the control phone to call your Mini. The photo should pop up. Hang up the control phone.
3. You should now see a notification bubble in the position formerly occupied by the headset icon. This is because there are now two notifications: headset and missed call.
4. Tap once on the bubble.
For me, I see a dialog box pop up for 1 second, with square boxes. A soft reset fixes things.
I realised that the same bug can be reproduced using BetaPlayer and an avi file.
Anyone else has encountered this?
I had the same problem with my Mini. The Bluetooth was on and the SMS sent notification came and the bubble popped up but after sometime the message sent notification envelope just would not go.
Yes, that happened to my friend who's using a Mini too. For him the text bubble or grey notification icon bar wouldn't go away, but for me it wouldn't stay. :roll:
if you're using an O2 Mini can you check on your storage and storage card thru the computer when you're syncing and see if there is a 0 kb file called "ignore_my_docs" on it?
Even after a HR I cant seem to get rid of it?!?
me toooo
same issue
Same problem here.... any help would be appreciated...
Same happens some times when I send a SMS: the bubble with the "message sent" notification doesn't disapear... I haven't find a way to reproduce this one...

Anyone facing the ignore_my_docs problem?
What problems would the ignore_my_docs file cause?
This zero-byte file is created if the Mini doesn't detect the "My Documents" folder when you first insert the freshly formatted SD. It simply tells applications that instead of scanning just the files and subfolders beneath "My Documents", it now has to scan the entire SD card.
You can delete the ignore_my_docs file, which I did, as I find applications take too long to display/scan files, eg in the Album application it will attempt to list all relevant files on your SD, instead of listing just files within the "My Documents" folder.
Thanks for the info Cheshirecat.
I was worried it was some sort of virus file since it doesnt show on the Magician but just shows if I access the storage or storage card folder on my phone when its connected thru the computer....and keeps coming back even if I delete it.
Thanks again.

Not sure if this problem is the similar to the one that shows up on the XDA 2 with the new O2 1.72.181 ROM or not... but that seemed to be caused by an old icon from O2 Active that had not been disabled properly in the new ROM. I had a constant notification bubble, even when nothing had been "missed", that showed the running application and the inactive O2 Active icon. Since I don't use O2 Active, I deleted the O2 Active application and that fixed the problem. I am not familiar with the O2 mini, or if it has O2 Active or not, but i thought I would mention it in case it helps :?

Same problem with notification
same for me
have also experienced the same problem. I uninstalled apps that put stuff on the task bar but the prob was not fixed so I did a hard reset and didn't install apps that affect the task bar anymore... I am thinking this maybe an OS issue.
In the end I did the same: hard reset it.
Now I am careful of what I install, and try to use the stock applications whenever possible. And backup before I install any system utility.
So far so good. 8)
same for me!
annoying prob :-(
I am using Pocket Informant on my Cingular 8125 and the list box that is supposed to contain a list of available ringtones to assign to a specific Contact is empty on half the contacts. Some contacts have the ringtones list and on some it is blank. I can not figure out a difference between the contacts that would cause this. Anyone else have this problem and figure out a solution?
If you select a contact, and select edit, @ the top of the screen, is an option 'Add Field To Editor'. Select this, then select Ring Tone. Now, at the bottom of the screen is the available field! Unfortunately, you have to do this for every contact you wish to have other than the default ring tone...
Hope this helps!
I did that. The problem is that the ringtone list is empty on about half the contacts - and I can not figure out why.
Hey guys, I am using the Pocket Informant as well, and I have a problem I wanted to see if either one of you figured it out. I cant get the calendar to link to my left softkey on my 8125? I see some posts about it around, but I still have not figured it out. Also, I dont really like the contacts in Pocket Informant, but that links to the Right Softkey, I would like it to use the normal contacts, as opposed to pocket informants. So basically do either of you guys know how to change the links to the softkeys.
Thanks
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112
or
113.
Simply change it from Calendar.exe to Calendar.lnk and that should fix it.
I have no idea where this icon comes from.
It appears every time I have an SMS in my TyTN, or a missed call. I have uninstalled all the plugins, it still sits there. When I press it it pops up a small window that shows the SMS without opening the Mail application of the TyTN.
All I want is to remove it from the today screen and stop making it appear. I have unchecked the "Display Message on Screen" notification... but this blue icon still appears...
Can anyone help me find out where it comes from? I have the WWE Greek HTC ROM...
Anyone? I did a search but nothing came up similar to this...
Could you have the scenarios application installed? from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=277811&page=2&highlight=Scenarios_WWE
I had the version from post #12 installed first (scenarios_today_fix.rar )and I got the same SMS notification as in your screenshot.
I then tried the version from post #5 and the SMS notification was gone. Scenarios is a great app - thanks Asukal for making it available
You're great! Thank you, I installed the cab you mentioned and everything is ok
The only problem is that now the small icons from the profiles do not appear in the bottom screen...
I had the same problem until I did a soft reset .
I'm currently having my contact list be somewhat unaccessible. My contacts are there, if someone calls they show up, if I go to call history everyone is there with names and numbers. However if I enter 'Contacts' directly the "Contact" tile bar flashes then disappears. I cannot ADD contact I cannot send a text message by searching contacts. I have also added PocketCM to see if that would change the issue, however it behaves the exact same way. A flash of PocketCM then nothing. I have backups .pims and all nothing seems to work properly anymore.
Any ideas?

You know, the basics.
Hi there,
On the HTC main menu bar, the one you slide horizontally, there is a shortcut to the HTC contacts program.
I don´t like this program since I can´t have a grouping of contacts per company which the built-in contacts program have.
So I was wondering how I can change the shortcut on the HTC menu to the built in contacts program instead?
I checked on other forums and the reply was that it probably can´t be done, maybe it can be done with a registry hack. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help ...
You can't change the Manila default program to show another program in the contacts tab.
One solution would be to set one of your soft keys or a hardware button to point to the contact program of your choice.
Also some contact programs like Resco CM can be set as your default program, but that just means it will open when you press All Contacts in the contacts tab.
