Lots of n00bie questions

Hi to all, have had my xda 2 for a couple of months now, starting to play with it and have a few questions for those in the know :wink:
So if you could help out it will be appreciated TIA
1 Under the my xda>connections>select country, whaen i choose UK then finish, after the restart i check and the country has returned to Germany, i get around this by not clicking finish, it works but its annoying.
2 I used to have an mpx200 when i recieved email notifications from various forums i frequent it would contain the message as well, handy for knowing whats been posted without having to log on to the forum and troll through page after page, at the moment the email on the xda is truncated, is there a way around this ??
3 I know there are other browsers out there for the xda2 but can anyone recommend a good one that will resize pages so that i dont have to scroll horizontally to read forum reply's etc etc
Thats about it for now, sorry to be so long winded, any and all help is appreciated, TIA

If you go into Mail accounts, click on the Account tab and click on your POP3 account, follow Next, Next, Next, then Options, finally Next, Next again - you should get Options (3/3).
Here you'll find a dropdown where it should for you say Get message headers only, with the a tick in Include 50k or something. Change the dropdown to Get full copy of messages, and you'll also notice the tickbox is now disabled. This should download the full content of emails when you next try.
Not sure about the Germany thing, and also the internet explorer. You have tried to use the Fit To Screen option in IE's View menu? Usually does the trick for me.

Screen Size in I.E.
Hi,
I use a product called ThunderHawk. You can download a demo.
Its about as close to desktop web access as you are likely to get.
Hope this helps.

Turn Bluetooth ON/OFF from Today?

Is there any programs that will let me turn Bluetooth & WiFi on/off directly from the today screen?
By directly I mean a toggle switch rather than a link to the settings page?
Anyone know of one? I've got SPB PockePlus installed, but that doesn't seem to have that option in there?
Thanks

That seems like it'll do the trick, but PocketPlus won't let me assign arguments to an exe, so is there anything freeware that can?

Create a link (.lnk) to the .exe. Put all the arguments you need in it. Use the link with pocketPlus.

How do I create a link/shortcut on the PPC though, I have no option in the context menus?

Start > Programs > File Explorer
tap&hold on the ap, choose "Copy"
tap&hold in an empty area, choose "Paste Shortcut"
I recommend using Total Commander instead. It has a built-in simple text editor, which makes it easier to edit that shortcut than opening it up in Pocket Word and whatnot.

And for very specialist markets, where an app that won't let you use shortcuts at all, try VJBrisk.

Sorted, got it working now. Thanks chaps.
Just on the look out for some Bluetooth icons to show on or off. Also, any progress on getting the wifi to work without have to enable it first via comm manager?

Scottland - not just yet, I haven't had a wizard to play with so far, so can only really test on the Universal. One day, I'll do it...

hehe, no rush. Thanks for the program

http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=99493
Go here and register for modaco if you are not a member in order to download the attachment. It is a small program that toggles bluetooth. I usually use my voice command to run it although you could put it in your start menu or on your today screen I guess if you want it there.

Select All... possible?

I'm certain i've seen this query before but I cannot seem to find it!
I have a in-car navigation system and because of the phone not being wholly supported, i need to bluetooth the contacts over onto the system.
the issue is i cannot find the "select all" option in contacts, nor can i select all the contacts manually.
I have around 300 contacts on the phone and there is no way i can sit there clicking, beaming, selecting bluetooth reciever and sending because that in itself can take up to a minute per contact
Thanks

One cab to try is FDC PPCContacts. it provides some advanced functionality.

Try Ctrl+A with the Softkeayboard. I don't know a solution with the hardware keyboard. I'm really missing the Ctrl key on it.

ctrl+a doesnt work... first thing i tried

Here is what you need for select all:

but you can't beam them, it doesn't work.
I will add this functionality in next version...

Unfortunately, this feature was removed in WM5.

Thanks for that... I dont suppose you could write up a beta thing for me to use ? I know its a bit cheeky but its a bit pointless me having a $3000 incar system with built in bluetooth phone, and a $600 phone but yet be restricted because of this one small issie with WM5.
I beamed over 3 today and it took almost 5 minutes for them.
The pattern is:-
Set system to recieve
select>beam>wait to pick up system>and select
once beamed, the system says do you want to beam more.... you have to say yes
then you do the process again.
If I know a rough time-scale then I know whether to borrow a nokia and sync the contacts to that (via outlook) and then beam at once.
Thanks for your help again

Thank you very much!

Can't you just drag the stylus from the very bottom of the list in the tiny bit of white space under the bottom name upwards?
It works fine for me to select all..

Hi sambartle,
If you have several hundreds of contacts, it could take time, it is mush simpler to click on the menu item. BTW, you have probably PPCContactsMgr on your device...

Can you please send this file to me too.
My touch screen has 2 cracks in it making my screen un-useable. I have found a program called "VirtuaMouse One-Hand", which allows me to operate a mouse via the D-Pad. Problem is, WM6 has this stupid mouse cursor thing built in and because my screen is not alligned it puts out the clicks from VirtuaMouse... When i click my VirtuaMouse another mouse (WM6.1 Mouse) appears about 1cm away from where i want to click.
Any help would be appreciated.
Also is there any way to remove the WM6.1 mouse??
Thanks,
Dallen =]

can someone with hp6815 post zip with these files here? i have similar problem so i cannot align screen corectlly
thanks

Saving Files to the Touch HD via Bluetooth

Guys,
My apologies if this has been covered but I'd like to know if there is a fix, trick, or software you can recommend that will allow me to save files to a particular area.
Maybe I am missing something (unfortunately at the moment I don't have much time/resources to go hunting for the answer myself) but whenever I save a file via Bluetooth it gets saved to some remote part on the My Device/Windows.
I then have to perform a search to find out where the file has been saved to.
Obviously there is a simple solution to this and again I apologies in advance but can someone point me in the right direction.
Cheers.

Go to Settings, Connections, OBEX Inbox and change there.
I have attached the cab if you don't already have this installed.

Does the dialog box for choosing the destination directory appear on your Touch HD when you press the "..." button?
It doesn't appear on my Touch HD, but it will appear fine on my HP 6828 (320x240, WM6.1).
