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!

Click to collapse
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?

My Qtek 9100 with the latest english generic ROM was working fine for months. This morning, I removed the SIM and put it back in. Since then, it won't activesync, I can't drag n drop files to it through Explorer, and when I try to download a CAB file via IE, I now get this error message:
"This device is restricted from downloading this file type."
Any ideas? I don't understand what happened to it! It's like it moved to a very strict secure mode all by itself. It doesn't make any sense!
It seems that my security policies are all whacked up. The device doesn't even see the installed applications in the "Software uninstaller manager" app anymore. I tried rebooting and soft-resetting, no good.
ok guys, in order to fix my problem, I NEED one of you to send me ALL the keys and data info from this registry folder:
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\
Please export that registry for me as a text file and attach it here (or copy/paste it), so I can retype it manually on my Qtek 9100 phone (I can't import anything on my PDA atm as I can't download anything to it, it won't let me).
If none of you do this small favor to me, I am screwed. I would need to hard reset and lose everything (I can't back up anything).
Here Goes...
Ok, I am running the latest "T-mobile custom" ROM, ROM version 2.24.10.1 WWE. I should have no policies enabled... I have typed out all of the keys and values under this in notepad in the format name-value. all values should be DWORD. Hope this helps....
__________
Edit: My phone is a t-mobile MDa, don't think that should matter...
Thank you very much, much appreciated.
I have this issue but I can't view the txt doc can someone paste it here or email it me in the body so I can add them manually or if ur really kind email me the cab file. I have the htc wizard running the most beautiful edition rom. will this work by any chane? I can't download any file this device is restricted from downloading this file type every bloody time... (bloody being f*cking)

Edit:
Okay I found that my security policies on my MDA did NOT match totally with the one that was posted here. Little adjustments had to be made in the value of the d-words as well as 3 dwords had to be added.
I also found ADDITIONAL D-Words:

I have not checked if changing these have fixed my issue or not so lets find out I will post back with the result. Should I try removing the additional ones found on my MDA?
Merely changing the security Policies as listed in the .txt did not fix the problem
I have this problem too, I can't even edit the registry so I can't even try to put the policies back again. By the looks of things that won't work anyway.
Anyone got a solution that doesn't involve wiping the phone? Not that I know how to do that anyway. I have an XDA Orbit from O2.
Thanks,
Sapan
Same problem here
I have the same problem (XDA Orbit 2)
Worked fine for the first few days - was able to download CABs etc. Then it just stopped. I've read elsewhere about root certificates. Could this be the problem?
this device is restricted from downloading this file type
I have had this problem on my HTC touch with windows mobile 6.
This microsoft bug can make you loose a lot of work, time and data.
Are the Microsoft programmers drinking while they work?

Hello all. I also have a Qtek 9100 for more than 2 years.
Honestly i never had that problem. And i already flashed undreads of ROMs and software to it.
One thing is that i always have Backup Software for any eventuality. Things can always go wrong.
Tips
First - Try to use Resco Registery Editor,its a good Software to make any changes "Delete/Rename/Copy/Add etc,etc.
Second - Look for Its Right,the TNT Master. It will be dificult to find him as he is getting is Engineer Degree. You can also ask Octaivoi,he is a Wizard Master 2.
Third - Keep an exautive search in XDA Devs and eventualy you all will find the answere.
Fourth - Get a Backup Software,get back all the software that cant be recovered. "Eugenia software can always be recovered". And FLASH a new ROM. There are many,many Beautiful and advanced Wizard ROMs arround XDA Dev.
Hope that any of these tips can help
SOLVED!!! ThankS!!!

first had this problem with the empty "remove programs" list 6 months ago, glad to see this whacked-out solution that works!!
Conclusion: Microsoft Windows Mobile messed up the security settings, so let Microsoft Word Mobile put it back automatically, voila!
And ofcourse, I've read about this "fix" soo many times at so many places, and it works for everyone but me >.< I tried all the different ways theres to it, nothing worked. One more thing, shutting it off and THEN pressing soft reset doesn't make sense. Anyway I tried, and it didnt fix. Still got the file deletion/changing restriction. Can't sync, can't get online, download files nothing ... If only Microsoft cared to fix this. Anyone any idea? Dutch phone, Hi provider, rom version: 1.93.404.1 NLD
A Real Fix
Has anyone on this board found A REAL FIX to this problem?
Because I just got my tilt 6 months ago was doing good and now cannot download, cannot stream, cannot play cellular videos, radio.
I have tried the office word solution. That did not work for me!
Is there a Real Solution?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!

I'm sorry it didn't work on your device. I had the same problem, no sync, no file copy/rename on the device, no cab install, no programs in "add/remove programs" on my Mio A702 thing. The MS Word solution worked smoothely and now I have everything as it should be. So I can confirm the "word thing" actually works . Don't know why it won't do the trick in your case
Hi all,
I'm running the swiss version of the Trinity, it's called v1510 and I still run the original WM5-Version on it.
Now I found out that nothing happend, when I try to open a pic or a video. All what happens is that the screen flashes shortly, and that's all. When I try to start the application pimg.exe (I think this is the correct program?) nothing happens.
I have no problems to open pictures with other apps like Xnview or SPB Imageer, but not with the build-in pimg.exe. It wont be such a problem for me, but the point is that I cannot add images to my phone-contacts, as nothing happens when I click on "add image". I suppose it trys to open pimg.exe, which is not working properly.
Therefore I'm searching of one of those solutions: how can I force the trinity to set Xnview or SPB imageer as the default viewer? So, that it starts one of those programs when I wanted to add an image to my contacts?
Or: what can I do to "repair" the original pimg.exe?
Thanks in advance & best regards
JoeSac
if you backup the data you wanna keep
then you can try out a hardreset to delete regs and such
if a reg got corrupt for that program
have u installed anything lately. mine did the same thing and it was to do with a direct push mail client

Hi,
does this work with SPB-Backup? This is the only backup-software I have. In this case I suggest I should not backup System-Data, as they could be corrupt, am I right? Well, maybe I will try a hard reset...
@hoyler30589: Well, I installed a few programs, but I absolutely dont remember from what time on the pimg.exe did not work... However, I did not install stuff regarding direct push clients.
Best regards

Hi all,
after performing a hard reset I re-installed all my former softs, and therefore I was aware of a software called "Helmi's WMedia Support". And yes: this was the reason for my issue: after installing it, the viewer didn't start, and after uninstalling it the viewer worked properly again. A very nice "media support"... Well, maybe it was designed for WM6, can't remember anymore...
Okay, I'm happy that I can now add the pics to my contacts!
Regards
JoeSac
Hey Joe...
I suffer from the same problem you had, and although I'm sure I never installed anything called "Helmi's WMedia Support", it might be worth a try installing and uninstalling it. Therefore I tried to google the tool, but didn't find more than one website from Taiwan which didn't allow me to download it.
Could you send it to me, if the program is free of charge/public domain?
I have a problem where I have a folder on my storage card set as favourite on the photo tab in TF3D so I can see the pictures on the tab. When I create an activesync connection on disk mode and then disconnect the tab loses the favourite folder and so I have to re assign it through the album>select folders. If anyone knows of a fix for this I would be most grateful if they could share
same thing happens here, i'm thinking maybe changing the default location in adv cfg would impact the tf3d setting... gotta try that

Tried all of that, makes no difference. Must say I'm surprised this doesn't annoy the hell out of others.
You have to edit following registry key without running TF3D:
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\favorite_folder
For Standard Folder of the X1´s Camera it is:
\Speicherkarte\DCIM\100XPRIA
Just found this out today
Nice find. Changed mine to \Storage Card\DCIM\100XPRIA and it works great.

thanks i tried the change but the key simply reverts back to a value of [CAMERA] once you connect to a PC in disk mode. So i'm afraid it does not solve the problem
that´s right it doesn´t solve the problem
sorry but i guessed i found the solution.
i had to reset my device for an installation - and now it is the same as before [camera]
maybe it is an issue of the manilla-version.
the one i had before has not loose the own images...
well, i´ll try it with another manilla/tf3d-version now
Hi everybody,
i did a try with the TF3DHDB2.cab - and it works for a few seconds...
You have to edit following registry key without running TF3D:
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\favorite_folder
For Standard Folder of the X1´s Camera it is:
\Speicherkarte\DCIM\100XPRIA
To test the functionality i have often changed pannel, and did 5 resets of my X1.
This will be therefore only a solution if you use the TF3D above.
But if you will connect in usb-mode to the pc or any other device it will reset...
And you will have set to Active Sync Mode again before edit the registry..
... to be continued ...
I have found a bit of a work around to this. GO into album and Set 'all' as favourite. Any photos that you do not want to appear in the tab mark each file as 'hidden' using resco explorer. This way you will get to see the pictures you want showing on the tab. It sticks even after you connect and disconnect in disk mode
Hi
I was playing around with some of the exe files in the /windows folder and came across QcameraApp.exe, which allows you to change the settings of the camera like framerate, white balance etc. I didn't make any changes, just looked through the options.
But ever since then, my phone freezes everytime I open the lgcamera app.
I found a related thread in this same forum titled "Usb switch and other Apps not in start menu" , which warns you about the same problem. Howewer it doesn't say exactly how to fix it, other than replacing all the files in the windows folder.
I don't have the windows folder backed up...so if one of you guys can post all the files in the windows folder related to lgcamera and qCameraApp, I might be able to fix the problem.
Also if somebody could post all the registry entries at HKCU/software/lge/lgcamera, I would really appreciate it.
I am really hoping somebody can help me out, otherwise my only option is hard reset.
Thank YOU
phone: lg expo
rom: factory installed original rom
all you need are old registry settings
After doing some more research, I have found out that just restoring the registry settings should fix the problem...
If one of you guys could export the registry from hkcu/software/lge/lgcamera...it would help me out a lot.
there are only like 20 entries, can one of you just post the values for these 20 odd fields...
Thank You
Camera registry settings
Not sure about the first entry, you may not want to mess with that as it may be date and time algorithm... but I'll put them all here for you. Let me know how it works for you. Thank MyMobiler for the screenshots, it works flawlessly with the Expo.
