Woks well, except one little thing - the BT icon in the tray dissapears after a soft reset. Anyone solved this?

Other have similar problems?

I had this problem with Calendar Plus. BT went totally unreliable and I would get "bluetooth not found" errors. Ended up removing Calendar Plus and all was good again.

ianwood,
Well, I have problems with an icon only. The bluetooth itself is working fine. I was reinstalling everything today after a hard reset and was specifically waching for that issue. After installing Pocket plus the BT icon disapeared.

@Gevor
Did a clean install last weekend.
Also SPB Pocket Plus 2.5 build 2084
Still have the Bluetooth icon in the corner (did a few resets also)
So nothing wrong overhere
MDA II
Qtek rom (RUU172602WWE_Belgian_Shipping.exe)
T-Mobile radio stack 1.17 (HI_TMNL_17200_190_11700_Ship.exe)

porblems at Pocketplus
there are some problems with pocketplus running on xda2 and mini..
you will not be able to see the storage card indicators as it has bugs in it. that's why SPB has disabled them (this is what i read from their website forum spbsoftwarehouse.com)
BT icon gone? have a read at pocket breeze website forum. this is how you overcome this problem:
There is a workaround for this problem.
It's not pretty, it requires hacking the registry, but it works.
I found it at http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showthr...7403#post397403, but had to make a slight adjustment.
I assume that you know
- How to install form a CAB file
- How to create and edit a shortcut on your Pocket PC
- How to edit the registry on your Pocket PC
Ready? Here we go:
1) Download NoPluginsToday (you'll most likely want the ARM version) from http://www.ictinus.com/NoPluginsToday/
2) Install the CAB somewhere. Make sure you know the exact location of NoPluginsToday.exe (e.g. \Storage\NoPluginsToday\NoPluginsToday.exe)
3) Create a shortcut to NoPluginsToday.exe in \Windows\Startup. Name this shortcut ZzzNoPluginsToday, so that it is last in the list of shortcuts to be launched.
4) Start a registry editor, and go to HKLM\init. Look for keys named LaunchXX. You'll want to create a new String key named LaunchYY, where YY is a bigger number than any of the XX you found. I created Launch99. The value for LaunchYY is the exact location of NoPluginsToday.exe (e.g. \Storage\NoPluginsToday\NoPluginsToday.exe) you looked up earlier.
Now you're set! Do a soft reset, and see your Bluetooth icon again! You'll notice your startup time may be a little longer.
How does it work?
The BT icon disappears because of a timeout issue when loading plugins.
We solve this by using NoPluginsToday, which switches all Today plugins off, remembers the settings, and reactivates them the next time it is executed.
By calling NoPluginsToday twice, once via the registry (early) and then again via \Windows\Startup (late), we "postpone" the loading of Today plugins until after the BT icon has been activated. That's your longer startup time for you.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the tip, will try it out.

Been running PocketPlus 2.x on my Qtek S100 since the day I got it and no problems with the BT icon so far.

Same here .. PPlus2.5 on a Qtek s100 since they started to deliver them in Sweden..
Np at all ..
Be sure U run latest build..
Maybe its the rom in our qteks that makes it work... ??
Carlis

Issues with Jamin Screen Alignment

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
Ahmed

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.

Pocket Breeze freezes MDA

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
mikrolinux

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!

"New Button" in Command Bar hangs up PPC

Hi Guys,
I have an i-mate Magician and it worked quite well until someday suddenly the NEW MENU (BUTTON) in the left bottom corner began to hang up my ppc every time i clicked on it.
So if I try to click on the menu NEW in order to create a new task or something else my PPC hangs up and does not react anymore.
After that a soft reset is always needed in order to use the ppc. But NEW MENU would not work!
Your answer is very much appreciated!
Thank you in advance!
Vibe ;-)

Had this probem as well. Tracked it down to Pocket Informant. Reinstalled that one and problems were gone.

If you have any third party softwares to create a new item there, it may also cause the error. Ex: SPB Finance creates a new finance entry thing. But SPB finance never caused the problem. Other softwares o the similar kind may cause the issue.
What all you see there in the new menu?

Hi Guys,
Thank you for your quick posting!
I tried to uninstall PIM and SPB Diary! But it did not help. The Problem still exists.
In my menu there are the following entries:
APPOINTMENT
CONTACT
ExCEL-Worksheet
MESSAGE
NOTE
TASK
WORD-Document
I would very much appreciate your help as I would like to avoid a HARD-RESET as I have installed a lot of programmes, and it would be now very very inconvenient to me to RE-install everything!
(The Last Programmes that I have installed were the last Revision (5) of PIM & SPB Diary! I can imagine that it depends on PIM because with SPB Diary it was working! But how can I uninstall PIM in that way that it is completely away, because I have already uninstalled it and even installed the Rev 4 but it did not help)
Thanks a lot!
;-)
Vibe
PS: FYI I have installed the following programmes
SPB DIARY
BuzzLightyear SwitchIT
AE Software AE Button Plus
Resco Explorer
Microsoft Activation
Microsoft Reader
Cambridge Silicon Radio Ltd. BCHS
Wei's ScreenOff
Adobe Reader for Pocket PC 2.0

If you make a hard reset the NEW menu problem still have...
I did a hard reset as well...
SO I don't know what is that problem exactly...
But if you have the spb backup and make a backup from your system, you can make a hard reset, and then run the backup file and you won't lose your programs!
But for my pda, the hard reset didn't work.
If I start my backup file, then it WORKS!
But just a couple hours!
Then always freeze when I click on NEW button. ((
PLEASE HELP ME! IF YOU KNOW ANY SOLUTION!
Thanx a lot!
Best regards,
Zee

Hi Guys!
The mentioned problem of the freezing system when trying to use the NEW BUTTON on the bottom left corner still exists.
Did anyone experience the same problem and may have a solution or an explanation for that!
Thanks a lot in advance,

list your TyTn software issues

I think we need a thread where we can post the software issues that occurs on our TyTn's.
1. I get a lot of flickering when using TCPMP
Solution: ......none
2. Spb pocket plus seems to slow down my device and cause ocational hangups
Solution: Wizbar and iLauncher

Sprite Backup 5.1 (for backup to PC) won't work with "Advanced Networking Features" turned on. It works fine with that feature turned off though.

I really prefer Pocket Plus over Wizbar, so if anybody can figure out a solution to this problem, which I'm having as well, that would rock!

Pocket Plus
If you go into the settings for SPB Pocket Plus and disable the Safe Mode feature, it will eliminate the problems you are experiencing.
At least it did for me! Good Luck.

hmmm... I've not noticed any Spb Pocket Plus slowness issues and I have safe mode enabled. I'm running v3.1.2 build 5372. What, specifically, are the symptoms?

1) pocket plus slowdowns here too!.. or any spb software for that matter
2) Agile messenger seems to sign me off when the device is in "power off" mode.. ie when I tap the power button to shut off the screen.
3) Most slowdowns seem to appear from Today Plugins

See my comments here (and watch the thread for further developments):

Today plugins seem to slow the device down a bit.
SPB Pocket Plus seems to slow down the device a lot!
Using Wisbar advance (gotta love the cascading menu) and pocketweather and pocketbreeze currently, luckily they dont seem to slow the device.
Otherwise have not had much problems with anything.

1. I get a lot of flickering when using TCPMP
Solution: ...... I noticed very bad flickering and "xvid/divx partitioned data or something"
I fixed this by selecting options--video--raw frame buffer
i think ati imageon not liking tcpmp
Also im SURE my v1605 came with msn messenger but somehow disappeared now i cant find it by looking in windows folder, have tried copying instmsgr.exe from another wm5 device and also tried installing pockey msn but didnt pay the £10 MS want for it..
I will try agile or imov but cannot see why i dont have this on device anymore and hard reset didnt bring it back either
