Hi everybody,
I set up my xda neo with the o2 ROM upgrade and everything works very satisfactory. But there are a few things that bother me.
Most important the device does not show the today-screen after shut off, the amount of time is set and activated. I'm using PocketPlus today screen plugin with SPB diary.
Second the sound sceme is boring and I can't even play mp3 ringtones. Is there a way to correct this and maybe a freeware Ringtone-Sceme?
Thanks for the help

Hi !
Go and search for "ringo" - with ringo you can give several sound schemes to User Groups and Contacts, as well as different SMS Tones and mp3 Ringtones....Perfectly what u need
Did you install the Latest Neo Upgrade given by o2online ?
I did never have a problem with the Today screen, maybe the Tool is broken ?
yes, the latest ROM-upgrade is installed.
Do you use pocket plus? maybe it interferes, have to try out and deinstall it...
another question: does your xda neo handle the camera-function well? Mine gets very slow and sometimes even freezes...
Hallo, I'm also use xda neo and I had the problem with spb pocket plus too. but my problem is due to I use the old version spb pocket plus 3.0.1.My neo couldn't be soft reset when I used spb pocket plus and always stuck at windows mobile screen. I think you use new version of spb pocket plus ,so Do you have the problem with soft reset? I'm diciding should I buy the new version or not.
pocket plus
I only have the Problem with the today-screen, which is not shown after x hours of inactivity. Reset and everything else works just fine. the spb pocket diary is a very nice extension, too.

I am thinking about doing a hard reset because I noticed that Spb diary, weather and pocket plus cause my BT icon to disappear whenever I have all 3 installed and do a soft reset. I also keep getting an error message with my bejeweled 2 game. It keeps saying the game cannot be saved. I have the super Jam w/128 megs and did the bigstorage hack. Does anyone else have these problems-and do you think a hard reset will correct these issues?
entirely up to you..you may want to try uninstalling them one by one and see if performance improves...otherwise hard reset and start again is good too..it will TRIM some FAT off RAM now that you know which apps you want to install.
Good point. I guess what I am really asking is if anyone successfully has all SPB products - DIARY, WEATHER, POCKET PLUS - working on their Imate Jam or Magician without any problems, such as major slowdowns, BT icons disappearing, etc. I am doing my clean install now, but just wanted to know if it is even worth installing DIARY since I would prefer Pocket Plus and Weather over Diary if I can't have all three working well with the Jam.

I've used PocketPlus and Weather before on my handheld..it works pretty well...only starts to lag when I have installed too many today plugins so I removed the PocketPlus but kept the Weather. But generally you'll find PocketPlus is a very popular plugin.
Well, so far so good. I have all three working now and when I did a reset, my BT icon showed up as well. It seems to run fairly smooth on startup. I unchecked the Pocket plus "fix 2003 duplicate alarms" and "suspend mode." I also did not install any of the extended rom files, except my tmobile settings. I made a backup using Sprite, just in case something goes wrong.
Oh, I forgot to ask if you received your Transcend 4GB card? I wanted to know if it is working well. It should be a good card for you.
Not yet...hopefully Monday or Tuesday...once I get I'll straight away test and post results
Hi Friends,
I om really sick of correcting the screen alignment every 2 hours.
please tell me there is a cure/fix to this issue.
In my extended rom I have deleted the following
SKYPE
Smart Dialling
Anti Virus
Backgammon.
The 3rd party softwares that I use are
Tweaks2K2
Ewallet
Worldmate Pro
SPB pocket plus
SPB Finance
Pocket Breeze 5.01
Pocket calc
Sprite Backup
Pocket Mechanic
SPB Imageer
Personal Vehicle Manager.
PLEASE HELP ME
Thanks

To be honest if it really is every two hours I would back it up, hard reset the thing and make sure it doesn't have problems in an out of the box configuration.
If it is ok then I'm afraid you will have to deal with the fact that you are going to have to incrementally load your software to determine what is causing the problem. For reference Ewallet is the only software in common with my configuration and I have zero issues. Also I don't use skype and deinstalled the AV as well as the Backgammon software.
I had this program before.
I was using OmapClock and adjusted it to 252.
Now I set it to 240 and have no problem
Actually I still have this problem even when I didn't overclock it
The only program I have the same is SPB Pocket Plus on that list.
wow! great to hear someone else has this problem. you guys think this is software related and not hardware? i bought my dopod818 (but is on jamin rom) from another country. so its gona be hard for me to have it replace for now.

I'm also having the same issue and I also use SPB Pocket plus.
I'm good
I don't experience any funky screen alignment problems. I did however, with my Cingular 8125 (HTC Wizard) but now with my prophet I'm good. I have a ton of apps installed and overclocked to 240 (225-227 actual).
I do know how annoying this can be. I would do the backup and hard reset to see what your out of box status is. I'm sure it's a 3rd party app problem.
I too use SPB Pocket + so that may not be the problem. I did have SKYPE on my Wizard and not on my Prophet so it may be SKYPE or a combination.
I also did a lot of ROM swaps on my Wizard and so far none on my Prophet so that me be a factor.
Hi everyone!
I've got a strange prob on my Universal. It is a german MDA Pro flashed with the german Qtek ROM 1.30 and Radio 1.09. I've installed Pocket Breeze 5 withe some Plugins as Contact Breeze and iLaucher and Pocket Weather. My PIM is Pocket Informant.
All these are installed on SD.
Whenever I activate Breeze it works absolutely perfect. Then I switch the Pro off and switch it on again after a while. It comes to life and before it actually shows the today-screen it freezes and I have to reset
iLaucher, Pocket Weather etc. are deactivated when using PB of course. On the other hand these work as normal Today-plugins .... Installing PB to the internal flash didn't change anything.
Deactivating Breeze as today-plugin immediately solves the freeing problem ... !!!! ?
I didn't notice this behaviour with the T-Online ROM Version 1.20 / radio 1.06.
Another strange thing I found is that the Universal seems to automatically end some programs when going to 'sleep'. This concerns Pocket Informant and Flexmail 2006 and Dinarsoft Handymenu. Several other progs are not affected.
This is really weird and I'd love to have PB back to life sinece it ideally does what I need. I wouldn't like to change back to the 'old' T-Mobile ROMs.
Any idea is very much appeciated!
Thanks for your help

Hi Pernod99!
Thanks for the info! So I'll play with different install-targets.
I'll keep you posted with the things I'll (possibly) find out
Thanks again!
mikrolinux
Damn you got me excited, i thought macromedia release a pocket pc version of their Breeze software, now that would be good.
Hi Ahrjay!
I suppose we're talking about different 'Breezes' ;-)
The Pocket Breeze here is Pocket Breeze from www.sbsh.net It's an Today Plugin integrating PIMs, Mailers, Meters and stuff.
Sorry for the false alarm
cheers

Hi Pernod99!
Well this seems to be the solution. I've reinstalled PocketBreeze, Contact Breeze and iLauncher to the devices flash
and soft-reset the MDA. Since then it seems to run as desired - fast and stable so far.
It seems PB doesn't like to be installed on SD, this concerns it's plugins as well. It urged me to reset the device frequently
until even the last PB-plugin had been removed from SD and shifted to the systems flash-mem.
There is an option inside PB that determines how Plugins are called. This usually is set to dynamic which means that the
plugin is initiated on first use after a reset. So everything runs pretty smooth until you call an application PB has to init from SD
-> crash after wakeup.
Setting the above option other values such as static doesn't alter anything since PB always has to init theSD and often crashes,
presumably due to timeouts. So PB and everything it has to init have to be installed to the devices flash for proper operation.
Thanks again for your help!
Have fun!

Hi guys...
I'm looking for a good today plugin for use in the TyTN in order to see calendar and task events... like Pocket Breezer or SPB Diary.
The thing here is that I would like to know if have had some experience with this apps in the TyTN; I really wont want to have problems with the stability/operation of the device.
In My old WM2003SE the Pocket Breeze was just perfect, but when I first try it on the TyTN I had some issues...
I just would like to know, in your experience...wich app would you recomend for have a good view of the calendar in the today screen.
Thanks in advace for sharing!!
Try Today Agenda - free & works well.
What issues did you have with Pocket Breeze? Have you tried the latest 5.2 version? You could post a question on the SBSH forum, they can usually resolve problems with you.
I have Breeze on my T-Mobile MDA Vario II and it works flawlessly.
I have use the V 5.001 trial version (cause I wanted to check if worked before buying it)... The main problem was that TyTN crashed too many times and i need to soft reset a lot; even after a soft reset sometimes still doesn work and had to aply a new soft reset.
I will give a try to the latest version as you said and also will use it without any other today plugin...I use to have Spb weather, skype, and the lock device in my today screen.
thanks for the comments...!!
any one else with another app that can try...??
thanks
I use spb Diary and really like it. As you have spb weather, you can integrate that into the diary as an additional feature too.
As baxter says try today agenda a very good plugin and its free. Many have even switched from PB to this.
see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=270288
I'm using the pack of sbsh apps, pocketbreeze, pocketweather, ilauncher, and contactbreeze on my 8525 without issue...
http://www.mobilitysite.com/forums/vbgarage.php?do=view&id=13843
As for me I would advice SPB Diary. It works stable on my HTC TyTN for 3 months. I also apreciated its "completeness" - it presents almost all PIM information in one place - calendar, tasks, e-mails, contacts.
Re stability - I understand it often depends on the app collection you install. The more install - the less stable system become , of cause it;s always possible to try different combintaions and find a good balance, but...
Good luck in search and try!
p.s. I also tried Pocket Breeze + Contacts and found these combination working a bit slower and giving me less features than SPB Pocket Plus + SPB Diary, IMHO.
I am also a fan of today agenda
I am using Pocket Breeze, iLauncher and Pocket Weather all together on a Tytn....works perfectly.
Be sure to install in system memory, not the storage card.
I have found the TyTn will occassionally freeze when these were installed on the storage card. Since moving to main memory I have been very stable.

as a rule of thumb, anything that access's the today screen or is constantly in use should be installed to the main memory and not the card.. some will work just fine installed to the card, but if you find you are having issues with it then you might want to move it to the phone
I use Calendar+ from http://mohairsofa.com/Default.aspx/document/10
and it's FREE

Thank you all...
I think this was the problem; the trial period I used pocket breezer and SPB Diary I installed them in Storage card... so, now I will install in main memory; as some members have said, both app works just fine without problems so, now the point is just decide the one that looks better and gives the more info..
Also will give a try to the Today Agenda... always nice try the free ones.. ;-)
Regards!
Same here... calendar + rocks! Free, simple, small... can't beat that!
Cal+ works perfect for me too!
I used calendar+ and tasks+ for over a year. Switched to Today Agenda. Free and much better. Check it out.

so what do yall think about the two programs... what's the pros and cons between the two..
right now im running htc home and its okay so far but im not sure if I want to install pocket plus 4 on my wing... im testing pplus 4 on my mda...
I like the htc home plus screen is because the large clock, lol, and nothing else. I like the pocket plus 4 because I can tweak the icons, auto hide, minimize it/auto-hide, has the smart scroll thingie, and have today plug-ins as well. I read that Spb Pocket Plus 4.0.1 beta 2 is out, so it's getting even better. In a nutshell, for me, both apps compliment the other. But I'm leaning towards using the Alexk's Alldate app and the SPC pocket plus beta 2 simultaneously.
I use RLCalendar for a large clock and date display. It would be nicer if it had centering and font selection, but it's good enough for me.

Both of them kill battery life

I have noticed severe battery drain since installing PDAVIET.
SPB Pocketplus 4 + SPB Mobileshell + HTCHome
I have installed both trial verisons and guess what... they become one!
Spb pocketplus integrates into the mobileshell, or the mobileshell integrates into pocketplus. Whatever.
The union rocks and loads you of several useful features without loosing any, but, HTCHome is a must on the today screen because of the clock (puma white downloaded) and the quick acces to SMS and e-mail.
I have left the HTCHome with only 4 tabs (Home, weather, Apps and Profiles) and that makes it much comfortable to use. Now the profiles (Normal/Vibrator/Silence) are also accessible from the mobilshell today screen.
The only thing that I would add is the (must have) batterystatus (added the Reduser skin), which shows GSM Signal strength, powerdrain and, of course, the battery level.
Regards,
I changed my home screen, thus losing the HTC Home Plus screen in favor of installing Alexk's Alldate app (which you can see) that displays the time and date in big letters and numbers, and keeping the Spb Pocket Plus 4.0.1 beta 2 in auto hide mode.. I like simplicity.
how do u add the htc weather.exe to the pocket plus???
Iam trying to add the weather here
Hello @ all,

hello!
i would like to use GSPlayer in HTC Home plugin at the music tab.
i like this player because it has equalizer and it is simple etc etc..
and wmp or htc audio has not got
(bassboost.cab not working on htc herald- i have htc herald )
so my question is: is it possible to use this app in place of wmplayer or htc audio?
thanks,
pulyka
i just say no to pocket plus
I had no choice but to do a hard reset on both my wing and mda.. kept having the same problem with the reboots, and random resets on its own... I might try resco file explorer instead... the smart scroll feature was cool but not that serious for me... and pocket plus was preventing my mda from charging aslo.
I liked lite but when I tried to use pocket plus with the cube....all went to hell. I just reflashed the orig rom. got battery...and added pocket plus. i am very, very happy. I loved the cube, but is seemed mostly for show. i do miss the phone contacts page from the cube though
