HELP. I need to auto start software when on externl power - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

i want ot automaticly start my gps software when i connect to the car charger.
i know i can d it with phone alarm with a profile but its kind of over kill.
Does anyone know of anything else i can use?

MemMaid might be able to access this event. There are also registry settings to do this automatically, but I'd use MemMaid since it's easier to set.

Missing Bluetooth icon after using PIToday

Hi guys,
I've been playing with PIToday for a couple of days now but I noticed one thing: My bluetooth icon on the Today screen disappeard after using PIToday. The only way to get it back for me is unchecking PIToday and soft reset. This is a bummer!
I've been checking some sites for solutions but could only find the solution mentioned above and one solutions for a 3870. This was putting a shortcut to the bluetooth icon in the startup folder. In the case of a MDA II, there is no such shortcut possible. I checked the registry and Windows directory but the is no .exe file which will start the bluetooth icon. Only .dll. But I don't know where to point it to. :?:
Any other suggestions? Because I would like to buy PIToday but I still want to access my bluetooth from the Today screen.

Even though I am a huge fan of Pocket Informant, i experienced a lot of issues with the PI today plug in and stopped using it. It may be incompatability with other software I also have installed but as well as the missing BT icon it also caused instability (lock ups) and the occassional auto soft reset.
In regard to the missing BT icon though PI today is not the only culprit. Users of Pocket Breeze from SBSH Mobile software have reported the same issue. Only way to restore it is unselect the today plug in and soft reset.

Hi Ednap,
Somebody suggested a sort of sulution for me: Using Zenphone. In Zenphone there is an option to turn bluetooth on and off in a profile. And it seems to work!
It is not the solutions but a least it is workable.

hi,
some kind of solution
get the tool "No Plugins today" (h**p://www.ictinus.com/NoPluginsToday/)
install it (of coz)
insert into your registry a new string like this
HKEY_LOCAL_MASCHINE\init\LaunchXX where XX is the highest number of the Launch under INIT (I use "Launch90")
enter as the stringvalue the path to the tool e.g. "\Storage\NoToday\NoPluginsToday.exe" or whereever you have installed the tool
insert a link under \Windows\startup or \windows\autostart (depends of the language) and point it again to this tool. Rename the Link in such way, that it will run last (eg. "XXXNoToday")
ok, thats all, reset your device, and enjoy your Bluetooth icon
It is not a failure by any of the Today-Plugins, which make the icon vanish, it's just a timeout of the btdll, caused by Plugins, which need too much time to initialize itself, so the icon just nor appear.
What does this thing?
after reset it removes the todayscreens, the bluetooth icon appears, and after that the notoday-tool switches the plugins on again.
you need some more time (3-4 secs) after the reset, but, who cares, you got the icon back

Nice work, IvkovicD!
I'll give it a try and I'll post this solution also at the PIToday forum. I'm sure this solutions is a great help for Deje the maker of the program.
B.t.w I tried SnoopSoft Dash Today Advanced today to see if I like it. It is not bad. A bit slow but guess what happens?
My headset profile is now gone! First I thought it was because I had too many Todayplugins but after removing a few and soft resetting it still wouldn't come back. Any suggestions for this one?
Thanks,
Wouter
To create a shortcut to Bluetooth copy the following into a shortcut file (text file with lnk extension i.e. Bluetooth.lnk):
34#\windows\ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,23
and copy it across to your PPC
My headset profile is now gone!

Might it be that your profile is just gone from the Today screen? Check Settings>Personal Tab>Today>Items Tab and see if Profile is checked.
Hi Mark,
No. The headset profile was not there anymore in the list. I contacted Chris Scott, who makes DashToday and the only solution he had for now, was to uninstall the program.
Not realy a good option in my opinion.... Especialy because I just bought the program because there is no trial avaliable.
For your other solution:
I want to make sure that I realy understand. You want me to make a textfile and name it i.e Bluetooth.lnk. In this file there should be the line:
34#\windows\ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,23
Then copy this file to my PPC and presumably to the startup directory?
Just want to make sure.
Thanks,
Wouter

Copy it to the Start Menu folder. It won't bring back your bluetooth icon back but you will be able to access the settings from the start menu.
Thanks,
I give it a try later.

Hi,
I know this effect. I've have this "vanishing", too, if I install too much today- plug ins. Just grab your favourite registryeditor and delete some build-in today-registry entries for today items, e.g. original-task, or some of the other build in ones. If you need it (I don't believe that , make a backup, but really, do you need them?)
reset your device, the missing plugs should appear again...
Sometimes, the OS just do not display some today-plugins, if there are too much entries into registry, even, if you do not activate them...maybe at MS nobody thought that someone needs more then 5 todayplugs at once...
just joking

Hi Dejan,
Sounds like an interesting solution. Want to give it a try but I can't find the path to the right regkeys. :?: Do you know were those keys are to be found?
Wouter
Hi Dejan,
I found the reg keys. (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today) and deleted the Task, Calendar and Owner Info keys. Then I did a soft reset but my Bluetooth icon didn't reappear.
Too bad.
Did it work for you?

Reg key for setting up bt gps pairing

Hello everyone,
I need help with a reg key that i am tring to do. I have checked but not found anything to do with the gps.
I am trying to see if i can make a reg key that can be done from the e_rom that will put in my gpd pair info, so i dont have to set it up everytime i do a hard reset!
I did try doing it by coping the reg key from when i have set it up the correct way but when i blank it out and enter the info again it does not do anything.
Reg key that i did was found in
Code:

Update
Dang i think i just found my answer just looked at
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Serial\
Well i will try this when i get home, but if anyone reads this can you confirm that this will work!!!
Man finding things out for your self is so much fun!!! Till I was writing this i did not know what i was doing wrong!!! (That is if I was doing it wrong!!!)
Merci
Does anyone know if this would work
Well i got it to work, so now I have a cab file that sets up my BT GPS unit without me doing anything!!!
Maybe not a big thing but its a start, does anyone have any other small things like this, cus I am learning and would like to try something different!!!
This is what i used to make the reg

Here is your best bet on what to do.. start with a fresh install where you have paired nothing.. then use an app such as TRE and export the registry. Then pair your device, after pairing turn your BT off and soft reset. After the phone comes back up do another reg export with TRE. Then go download a trial version of Registry Workshop and this app will let you put your 2 exports in there and it will do a comparison and tell you what keys changed. Then you can take these changed keys and make yourself a cab

Automatic Softreset

Hi,
I do see that memmory is an issue in almost all the ROM's.
So is it possible too do a softresett by automatic??
I use Phonealarm and it is an option there too start a program/file when you use the automatic profileswitcher.
It is also programs like RunOnce and MortScript that could do this.
Is there anyone that knows what the command or programfile for "Softresett" is called??And is this possible??
Thanks anyone

Yes, you could try skschema or xbar:

CommMgrPro allows automatic SoftReset schedule
Now I didn't know CommMgrPro did that - very useful along with all the other things it does

Thanks,
I loaded SKTools looks like a toll for tweaking and maintance but cant se any options for automatic softreset?? or other auto start but backup??
I also read about Xbar and this seems very much the same but not so advanced.
I there any .dll or .exe file for the command for a softreset,i tried to search the forum for any thread that could show me anything around this without any luck.
Thank again for any tip on these issues

Changing WM6 reminders repeat interval

Is there any tweak in the registry to change the repeating interval on WM6 reminders? The time between is way to short and if a simple registry editing could fix it, I can have one less program installed, today I'm using AlarmPal for that purpouse.
Anyone please!
Would be greatful for help on this. Anyone knows if its possible, and if so, how to edit the registry?
No clue which reg settings take care of this, but check out phoneAlarm. This app gives amazing control over all the notifications, to include duration, frequency and delay of reminders. You can find a free trial at www.pocketmax.net, and the registered version is really cheap for the lite version (<$15)
Thanks. I'm using AlarmPal from PocketMax to do the job. Was just wondering if it isn't just a registry matter to change the repeating interval.
Noone?
No one who have a clue? It seems pretty simple. But you have to know where to look in the registry and I don't. But I'm hoping anybody else does, so please share that bit of information.

I tested it with some numbers, but no luck. Too bad
Even if You kill activesync after disconnect (I'm using quickmenu to do this) after some minutes activesync starts again.
Anyone has a solution for this?

Crash - Try this:

AppSentry
AppSentry was made just for this reason. It can kill activesync and other apps on a regular basis. The link is in my signature.
It doesn't require you to run it, it runs itself. And it does not run in background so takes no memeory when it is not running.
solution?
ASyncKiller
This application allows to kill the ActiveSync process when it's in idle state but it just hold in memory...
