In my Qtek 2020i.
After the installation of some software. The Icon In the Bar of Today Screen for changing the mode from Portrait to Landscape are disapeared.
Some Knows how I can recovery It.
Thanks for all,
Uninstall the software and it comes back...
I had the same with PPCProfiles-Pro...lost the icon after installing. Removed it, the icon came back. It's a shy thing that icon, it's done it before too.
Cheers

Ok, but I don't Know what of the software that I have Install in the pocket is the cause of them.
I would like to Know, If there a key in the registry that do this action.
Thanks,
Yes please could someone confirm weather or not there is a reg key/tweak/hack for the XDAIIi as the sreen icon dissappearing 'trick' is really annoying.
Would greatly apprecaite a reply soon,
LydaiChris
if you search for 'landscape' in the registry you'll find the solution.
In HKLM\System\GDI\Rototion there is a dword key called 'HideOrientationUI'. Set it to zero to unhide/reenable it.
STILL NO LUCK
Can you suggest anything else?!?!?!?
It seemed to dissappear as soon as I increased the glyhe reg hack
Remove the SPB Software, I believe it is PocketMon or Space Saver
S
if it disappears again then there is a tool active which wants to mess with that registry key. I've tried that SPB tool also and it made my landscape icon disappear indeed, as some other tools... so get rid of that tool cause the landscape icon is far more useful.
Hi.
When I first got my XDAIIi, I did a corporate install.
What is SPB ?!?!
Is that anything to do with the o2 software cd that comes with the XDAIIi!? i.e. the GPRS montor, ZIP etc... !??!
Is there another reg hack anyone?!? :?:
Or a piece of software that actually resolves the problem!?
I would greatly appreciate a reply,
Lydiachris
the spb grps toold doesn't conflict with the landscape on the xdaIIi, I've kept it running and it didn't cause any issue.
The only option where it is specified for the landscape icon to be viewed is in the registry key as mentioned earlier... dig the registry.
If then, the icon disappear still not appears or keeps disappearing, as that registry key rightfully specifies the icon's being, then it has to be other (additional) software which prevents it from appearing, e.g. the option to prevent the icon from appearing once the additional program built-in/in is loaded.
Try uninstalling the corp. lot and reinstalling what is necessary I'd say.
as to the fact which application messes which with the icon... at least a few for sure, and as I recalled from tryouts I an spb tool did mess with it.
-scuzi mi errata, pero soy humana-
Is there a program which should be in StartUp to make this work? I checked the registry key (I have the same problem) and it is set to zero, which the previous posts seem to suggest means it should display.
Maybe it has something to do with "Today Timout" ?!?!?
Mine is set to 4 hours.
Does anyone know what the Today Timeout actually does!??!?!
Cheers,
lydiachris
ps. yeah is there any software we can shove in the startup folder which will keep the icon there?!
Sort of solved for me
I removed a bunch of "no longer used" programs last night and the icon mysteriously reappeared after a couple of soft resets. Wierd.....
Yeah but does anyone know what the Today Timeout option does?!?!?!
I ahve searched long time in this forum and cannot find it anywhere!!!
If you leave the device off for longer than the today timeout, you will get the today screen when you switch it back on, otherwise you will get the last application used
Hi, I read in several posts that the spb gprs monitor causes some problems with the MDA Vario (like resetting with backlight off), and as this was happening to me I decided to uninstall it, but somehow it's still there. When I uninstalled it said not fully uninstalled, or something like that. Now it's gone from the bottom of the today screen, but the mini icons on the top are still there, and it's still in start/programs. However it's no longer listed in remove programs, so not sure how to get rid of it! Any ideas?
On a different note, are there any good ringer profile programs that can easily be set from the today screen? Sick of having to go into the menu to change from ring once to ringing etc.
Thanks.
Download and install the last GPRS Monitor version (2.4.1 trial) from SPB homepage
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/gprsmonitor/download.html?en
Then uninstall the GPRS Monitor and say bye bye
(works for me)
Hi, I did some more searching in the meantime and found an old post by Tekflow:
------------
First remove it from the Today items
Then go to \Windows\Startup and delete the file called GPRS Notify
Finally soft reset
------------
Backed up the file and gave it a shot, now the little icons on the top are gone (and the backlight was on after I soft reset!) but it's still inprograms (and opens if I click it). Going to see if this has solved the reset/no backlight problem, otherwise I'll give your method a try...
I use a program called IP Dashboard 1.9, works flawlessly for me. Plus, it adds a "network" icon (2 computers connected to each other) and each computer will lights up if there is a TX or RX of network connectivity, be it WiFi, GPRS, or EDGE. Very useful for me to know if I have connection or not.
Anyone get Tengo to work on the TyTN? I installed it, soft reset it, and I see it when I hit the arrow next to the screen button that brings up the keyboard. But whenever I try to switch to Tengo, it just brings up the onscreen keyboard. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? This is supposedly the WM5 version.
2 possibilities
1) Have you set Tengo as the default keyboard?
Go into Word/or whatever
tap on the keyboard and the littlle up arrow to bring up the Sip selection
tap on the down arrow next to the word keyboard and select Tengo
tap options
tap settings
tick set Tengo as default keyboard
soft reset and see if that helps
2)do you have any Today screen plug-ins showing?
If so try diabling them all and then selecting Tengo, does it work now?
There seems to be a general problem with SIPs and Today plug ins, this apparently has nothing to do with memory, but something to do with the plug ins etc I have this very problem with Calligrapher, one of my favourite apps, I have now had to uninstall it as it conflicted with my spb diary plug in. It was an either or choice, and I can't live without diary.
Write pad used to sometimes be selectable, but Calligrapher never unles I disbled Diary.
I have similar problems with other SIP(eg not Tango), which, for some reason they just won't work. I played around it a few times and noticed some ways around the problem. Say, for example, I noticed that whenever I softreset, and the very first thing to do is to create a new SMS, switch SIPfrom keyboard to the installed one, it will fail (showing only the keyboard). However, if I were to switch from keyboard to letter recognition, and then to the SIP, it works. After that, it will work all the time. You may try that on your tango.
Hi
I only discovered all of this because I was having so many problems with Calligrapher. About a couple of months ago, I had to do a hard reset and decided instead of using backup, to reinstall apps one by one, and leave some time between to gauge what had gone wrong before.
Anyway, when the new Calligrapher came out, I decided to re-install this application as I was really missing it.
However, there was no way I could get write anywhere to show up.
When I selected it, keyboard came up.
If I selected transcriber, then I could sometimes get write pad to show up, but not always.
I made it my default sip, no difference
I uninstalled TenGo and reinstalled calligrapher - no difference
I tried everything and then did a google search and read about the today plug ins problem. Sure enough, on an empty today screen, Calligrapher ran a treat.
Enabling Phonealarm - still working
Enabling Pocket Plus - still working
Enabling Spb Diary - not working
So, basically I had to choose between Diary and Calligrapher - a hard choice, but I'm afraid Diary won.
It's a shame though, from what Phatware say on their site (this is on their FAQ) list it's a common problem, and not one they can do anything about. It's the OS they say. Apparently people thought this was cured with WM5 - obviously not.
I'm really very annoyed about this, as I have paid for the license etc, and cannot use the app. However, it's not their fault, so I can't ask for my money back. I did think of trying PBreeze instead, but I think that probably it would be the same story, it's to do with the number of today plugins you have installed, not a memory or space problem.
Anyway, hope you resolve your problem.
See this post here, it may solve the problem for you.

You can try install this SIP tweak and select the desired SIP.
Tap Start>Program>G4 SIP Startup and select the desired SIP like Tengo etc, and soft reset.
Please feedback the result. thanks.
Is this better or different (if so how) than SIPCHANGE.CAB?
I had problems with Resco Keyboard and SIPCHANGE.CAB fixed it.
I'm about to install Tengo (used it a few years ago and pretty impressed) and want to know which CAB I should use to make it work reliably.
I installed Tengo today and used SIPCHANGE and it works great. Had to do it twice though as after the first time I still had to set Tengo as default in Tengo options.

TENGO would not load even with SIPCHANGE at startup if password lock is enabled, do you encounter this problem ? i've tried modifying the sequence of the .lnk in startup but no luck. Disable password lock is the only way it seems but i do require password lock, win some lose some ?
TenGo and Today plug-ins

hello hello!
im new around here, so apologies if this has been asked before, ive done a looooad of looking and couldnt find anything, so..
ive just purchased spb mobile shell, and love it! but i was wondering if there was any way to change the names of the menus (for instance instead of 'Contacts' i could rename it to 'Phone Book' etcetera..) that appear as the buttons on the bottom taskbar?
cheers

you should try the spb forum, though i doubt they would give an answer
thats what i thought too!
i had a tentative poke around the registry to see if i could do it through there, but i dont think i can (though, im more of a novice to this sort of thing anyway )
its a shame because its a lovely piece of kit for the phone, i just want that extra kick of customisation!

find softkey applet.
mate, absolutely top notch advice
i guess it helps knowing all the terminology a bit better!
edit: although in other menus (from the now screen for instance, softkey names remain the same!)
Rustynash,
A simple but effective tool called TWEAKS2K2 will allow you to do what you are asking to. See this link for further details. http://www.tweaks2k2.com/
Another app that will allow you to change the names is SKTools.

What you need to look for is: SoftKeyAppletEx.cpl
This is free and a must have! Drop the file in you windows folder and you will notice an extra option in your settings (might have to do a soft reset).
i appreciate all the advice, but whilst these methods are good enough to alter the today screen softkey names, it doesnt go to change the softkeys when theyre in anyhting other than the today screen (in MS for instance, the now screen still shows 'spb menu' when ive tried to alter it to 'menu')
any ideas?

That is because of the program. I do not think there is away to remove spb menu on the now screen.
I know there are a few threads similar to this, but most of them quickly get off topic and are not all that useful. I was thinking about having everyone post what fixes and add ons for people have, and their overall experiences with each. Then we can have a single source to see which dialers work best, if any of the so called fixes actually work... all without searching 10 forums on 15 different sites.
Heres mine
Sprint Mogul
Pocket CM 0.15
jpl4 touch dialer
xda-developers power bar
the 8 button comm manager
spb mobile shell today add on
sms text sent notification disabled
I have noticed that my mogul is slower... especially when changing to landscape to use the keyboard, but i feel like this is pocket cm... please make additions... i think i am not the only one sick of looking through at least 5 different forums
I did away with PocketCM as it has some lag when opening. I switched over to iContacts and love it. Loads fast, does what I need which is to find contacts one handedly and when i hit OK or the top right X it closes it out completely. PocketCM stays open and running which can slow device down.
i meant to mention, right now i can't get redial to work properly with my dial pad... i have to go to call history and hit the hard dial button. Other dialers have worked, but i like the setup of this dial pad best... not sure if i'll change back to the mogul big button or not.
x button 2.0
todayAgenda (MT software)
tomtom navigator 6
total commander
lordsmiff battery level
all works
sms text sent notification disabled
How did you do this... I have been searching around and havent had much success
"sms text sent notification disabled"

should be done with this regkey:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings]
"SMSDeliveryNotify"=dword:00000001

if you do that you will also disable your vibrate function. There is a cab file that will stop the notice.
Here's one:
http://www.trianglepowers.com/PPC/ViewApp.aspx?ID=54
so i changed back over to the "mogul big button dialer" which i don't like the looks of as much, but it works perfectly.
Also 2 days ago I installed the task manager 2.0 I found over at the hermes forum... suddenly my battery doesn't need to be recharged!! More like I unplugged it yesterday morning and a full 25 hours later it said 80% charged this am... maybe just a fluke. Anyone else get better battery with this addon? (Task_Manager_2_0_30487_2.cab)

Oops, sorry! I was referring to the wrong thing! If you disable the light, you disable your vibrate function! Sorry for th confusion!
I like the concept
I've been looking for a thread like this for a while. If I could make a suggestion, could you please list or attach the freeware files along with your posts. I'm having to do just as much searching to find out what a certain program does and download location as before.
I got rid of PocketCM... way too slow for me.
I'm running:
PIEPlus
10 button CommManager
WkTask
SPB Mobile Shell, Phone Suite, and Backup
Arcsoft MMS
dcd's touch dialer
Disabled SMS Sent Notification
Plus a bunch of other irrelevant stuff.
I notice lag sometimes when I go to send a text message and pop out the keyboard. Seems to have some lag going to landscape, and lag opening up the new text message window. Other than that it's fine for the most part.
I've used the following registry tweaks and gotten dramatically better battery life:
http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=127164&highlight=registry
A couple of us have tested this and found a nice increase in battery life. On my Treo 700 it seemed to do nothing but on the Q it greatly helped (I ran for 12 hours yesterday push email in a low signal environment and stayed at 4 bars battery--normally would have been at 2 or 3)

(Again, use at your own risk -- I disclaim any liability -- except to say I've tried the above and it works well for me with no apparent downside).
On memory use, I found that people have tried removing the HTC_CM_Guardian and dddaemon from the \Windows\StartUp folder. I personally moved them to a "save" folder so I can restore them if I run into problems. One of them loads the voice dialer function and the other prevents certain changes to the system --- both appear to be memory hogs. I don't use voice dialer (I think even without this program the voice dialer will loan on demand anyway). Removing these two has improved my memory usage.
I use tMan as a task manager --- very handy and fast to close and manage running processes. Also very lightweight and easy to use.
Another REALLY useful tweak, the FlashVideoBundle along with the TCPMP player --- enables full screen YouTube videos launched from PIE. Is not compatible with the Flash plug in however, you can only have one or the other installed. See here for details:
