I'm convinced I found a way to do this while on WM5, but since I loaded WM6 it's started annoying me again.
Whenever GPRS connects it pops up a bubble telling me so. Very nice, but I spend about an hour on the train morning and evening using uBook reader to read books.
I go in and out of signal on the journey, and I keep getting the bubble while I'm reading which is a bit tiresome.
I've tried searching the forums, but can't see anything that helps. Doubtless someone will tell me I'm an idiot and say "It's in thread so-and-so"; if so feel free.
Can anyone help?

intermittantly my XDA locks up when a reminder displays on the screen.
Also when it does not lock up the reminder cannot be read (maybe a font problem)!
Can anyone help.
Same over here
I am having the same problem, no solution yet

The only solution that I see as of right now is to not use the Display message on screen, use a repeated sound instead.
We are not alone, check out this report/thread over at Pocket PC Thoughts!

I'm having the same problem...god it's anoying !!!
Is it related to PocketPlus from SPB??....trawling the web for some more info on this, not much knocking around....certainly no solution.
If anyone gets wind of a way round this (bar those bloody repeating alarms (hate them!!))...please do let us all know.

Hello! It's my first time posting here... let's see how this works....
I found this topic using search and I'm having the same problems.
But I'm using BatteryPackPro from Omega, not SPB.
My problem is a bit harder. I've gone this through already a couple of times and it's really getting to piss me off: My XDA II freezes totally when a reminder appears on screen. Soft reset doesn't help. And when I finally get power on again (you have to take the battery off before) my XDAII has done a hard reset by itself- all information lost. It's so hilarious to install all the programs and make new settings... So if anyone would know a solution, please let me know... Thanks!

Those that SHOUT often get ignored :x drop the caps and maybe people will help :wink:
hey man, i dont mean to ba an ass, i am just fustrated with this phone...me typing in caps is a bad habit, im used to it.. sorry for shouting
Thats better :lol: You will need activsync installed on your pc/laptop for starters available from microsoft or do a google for it.follow the installation instructions and it will set itself up with your Wizzard.Then basically install your mars weather and other software you care to have and it will install via the Activsync utility.For music videos/dvds/films etc download Divxencoder onto your pc and use it to encode whatever to a ppc compatable size.Then you can view these on your ppc with tcpmp you will find all these freely available by searching on this forum or via google and such.I hope this gets you started you will soon get the hang of it all. There are nice people on here who will help you if they can as long as you d'ont shout at them. :wink:
Usually I only need Agile messenger running as far as my need for data services goes. I find GPRS to be just fine for this but my device always connects to UMTS which kills my battery.
Is there a program out there that will allow me to easily switch between the data services? I thought I remembered seeing something like this but have searched to no avail.
Yeah, I also saw this kind of app that allows you to switch it right from the today screen, but don`t know actually where I saw it..
I am also looking for this app..

Oh.. lol.. didn`t saw that one.. sorry..
Just a quick OT question..
Which screenshot application does they using in that thread you gave us.. The one that gives you whole device picture, not just screen picture.. Thnx!
Ahh thanks. Guess I'm not so clear on the acronyms. That thread says WCDMA and GSM. Didn't realize that it the same as we are asking about.
Thanks.

I use SOTI pocket controller, it shows an exact replica of your tytn screen displayed (via Activesync) on your PC screen. I can do a copy and paste with that.
Thank you very much.. I will give it a try..
Hi Gents,
Running Schaps WM6 on a 3 Mobile in Oz, I have an IT nazi at work who when ever I enable push mail on the phone to poll off works mail server it pushes a security feture where I have to set a pin and a time limit before the screen locks and I need to enter the pin again. This sux when using Tomtom7 in my car and every 20 mins I need to enter a bloody pin to open the screen again! Any ideas on how I could either blow out the timer or disable it all together? Thanks.
"IT Nazi"....LOL (That must make me one too; we nail all our WM devices to the floor with EAS policies....stops stupid users fuggin' 'em up )
OK, read THIS post and may all your troubles be little ones....
Hope that helps,
Mark.

Thank you so much, this awesome it works great, the 30+ others at work will be very happy with this, sure the Nazi will be pissed but he's a Nazi so it doesn't matter, the litte app you can download & run is a great idea, it lets you turn the security pin on/off when needed.
I love you...not in a gay way...not that there's anything wrong with that, but thanks.
Glad it works - didn't realise I'd be helping 30+ people in one go!!! Bet your "IT Nazi" will be pissed IF he ever finds out....but you didn't hear about it from me, ok

I was due an upgrade from Orange, after having used a n95 for the last year or so, which was a device I liked. Works straight out of the box as a phone, with the features you would expect a modern phone to have aready implemented in a user friendly manner. Also has the capability to be updated and personailse as you see fit - mine had orange o.s. ripped out within a day of arriving.
Knowing an upgrade was due I spent an afternoon on the net wondering what to go for. Seriously consider decamping to O2 for an iphone, mainly because of the data tariffs there, but had my eye turned by this new Touch H.D. gizmo. Now partly because a few of my mates already have iphones, and partly because I enjoy being contrary, and also because I hate the way "Apple" are trendy and Microsoft hated, the H.D. it was.
Haggled away with Orange and managed to get 1200mins, 500 texts, 0.5gig data for 45 quid month. So in went my order.
The HD arrived the next day. I excitedly opened the very sexy packaging (I have a very sad affection for gadget boxes and keep them for years - even after the device has packed up!), had a quick read of the quick start, plugged her in and off I went.
Nice looking skin,quick to where you want to go. Seems good.
But then things got sticky. I wanted to find out how to bluetooth contacts over to the H.D. Nothing in the quickstart nor the pdf. I know, I know, I could of stuck me old sim in and copied the contacts over, but this is a new toy and we like to play, right? After a couple of hours got an answer over the interweb about how to do this. Phew. Then did the sensible thing of copying these contacts to the sim for safety. Uh oh - the dreaded duplicate contact showing problem.
Then I decided to try the browser. As per another post I could not connect to wifi for an age, then it suddenly started working. Furthermore, I was getting a constant "xml parsing error" when trying to connect via Orange Internet. Had had the phone six hours now, and had only managed to get duplicate contacts on! Arrggghh, fustration of the nation.
Sent a text to a mate, only had I? No sending confirmation. What is going on? Oh, all messages--->sent. Mmm, hardly immediately user friendly.
I was getting tired, so set the alarm. How primitive thought I. More primitive than I realised when I was awoken and finally worked out that three button presses were required to get the alarm into snooze mode. Three! And only then if you had randomly pressed the alarm icon in the top bar in the hope it would do something - couldn't see this advice in any instructions anyway.
So by my second day was getting very dubious about this hardware, even allowing for the mandatory new device learning curve. Happily I stumbled across this place. Installed all the recommended softwares.
Klaxon - hey, my alarm now works like all the other alarms on all other phones.
Adavance Config - hey now I get an sms sent confirmation, and my phone is faster.
Backup -copied my contacts from the storage card, after running this programme, to my pc, deleted the sim contacts and hey presto! No more duplicate sims, and a safe back up.
I then played around with the advanced connection setting and the connection wizard and bang - my browser now works!!!
Suddenly I start to like this phone. Nay love it. It appeals to the very big geek inside of me. Its hard to use, you have to batter away at it to make it user friendly. It's more like a p.c. than a phone - ding dong! It is more like a p.c. than a phone.
And here in lies a problem I believe for the majority of users who will gets this phone and will be flummoxed by it and bin it back to Orange.
It needs to be set up as a phone first if Orange are flogging it as a phone, and not a p.d.a. as they do Blackberry. Little things, like a decent alarm clock, sms confirmation, instructions for contacts, turn off sim contacts option. A much better wlan interface - akin to the N95 would help. On that device selecting the browser gives you a pop up which gives you the option of orange internet, or if one is available a wlan. A simple click on the wlan you want and you're in. All very easy, and in contrast to having to open up communication, wireless lan, wlan, advanced, to swap to a different wlan.
None of these things would take too much effort to implement, and would make the Touch HD excellent for a beginner out of the box.
Your average user though will find these irritatations unforgiveable in some circumstances, and if the rumours of high returns to Orange are right, I bet the above bug bears have a large part to play in this.
However, once the phone is personalised, and once it is accepted as a computer, then I think it is fantastic. It's gorgeous to look at and hold, there's lots of nice little features- cover flow in favourite contacts is good eye candy for example.
And now I realise Ive got another piece of Redmond in my pocket, I'm even happier. This phone is a geeks dream - the "chic of tweak" perhaps? After four days with it I love it. I'm going to love it even more in months to come when some clever peeps get Android running on it, or when WM6.5/7 comes out.
A fantastic computer that does phone calls, as well. But out of the box, not a fantastic phone.
Just my 2p's worth.
Interesting to read your experience. I'll keep some of those things in mind when I get my phone next week. Do you have links to the software you added from here? (like Klaxon, Advanced Config, Backup...) I know I can search the forum, but I thought maybe you had them handy to post.

Remember also when you get your phone to add "file manager" to your list of programmes. The software is already on the phone, and you need it to navigate to your storage card to run new programmes.
Enjoy!

Thanks!
excellent review that provides a good insight for winmo newbies, and I sure recognize my first experience in this, winmo is an acquiered taste and it gets addictive with time because yes, this phone really is an ultraportable PC with a phone slapped onto it. I'm gonna send this to some people I know still sitting on the fence
