Hi have have a problem with my Bluetooth ICON not being in the task bar (bottom right), I have norrowed it down to be a today plug in called PocketBreeze (One of the best pices of software I have found for the Pocket PC, take a look: http://www.sbsh.net/products/pocketbreeze/)
It does work 100% on a few friends XDA II's but not on mine.. I have done a hard reset and all. A few people are having this problem, I have spoken to the developer and he is trying to find a way to fix this problem... Does any one know what it might be or how to fix it?
This is what I have found:
Basically if the device is booted up with PocketBreeze loaded I do not get a Bluetooth Icon on the bottom right of my screen, If PocketBreeze is disable when loading the OS I do get the Bluetooth Icon loaded. (once the OS has loaded up I can then load PocketBreeze with no problems works 100% with Bluetooth Icon)
Regards
Fudge!
No one has any ideas as to why the Bluetooth Icon would disapeer? could it be some sort of loading order problem or somthing like that? is there a way to try and change this? E.g. if PocketBreeze is loaded before Bluetooth in the registory could I rename PocketBreeze to say ZPocketBreeze so it might load last or somthing like that????
Regards
Fudge!

HI,
FYI, I do not have this problem in using PocketBreeze.
i have b4 , my solution just import the my old REG FILE, may be another expert can point out where is value .
Hi Guys thanks for the reply, I have some friends that have not had this problem and some that have. I have been unable to work out what trigers it to happen as yet...
Has any one found that Reg entry that ttt340 mentioned?
Any help is appreciated!

Hi there,
I don't use pocket breeze but I have the same problem with PI Today from Deje. When this Today plugin is installed, I loose my Bluetooth icon on the Today screen. I had some support mails from the developer but he couldn't solve it.
Somebody suggested that there were too many in the Todayscreen but removing items there (even in the registry) didn't do the trick.
Teguru from tekguru.co.uk came with a handy sollution:
PocketZenPhone which is freeware. It is a plugin for the Today Screen with phone profiles. You can make a profile with bluetooth on. It works great! You can find the PocketZenPhone here on this forum (it has a thread of 102 pages!)

thanks for the reply wouterk, I also got told about the to many things on the today screen but it also did not fix the problem.
Thanks for the sujestion about the extra today plugin that could fix the problem but I might wait and see if any one else has any ideas as every today plugin I add makes my Pocket Breeze smaller and smaller :-(... Never enough room... LOL
Many thanks!
Fudge!
Ok fudgebottom,
You're welcom.
I must say I'm very happy with PocketZenPhone but you're right that the today screen is always too small! :lol:

Hi all,
I am aware about all the other threads but yet could not get across some nonsense on my MDA Pro.
I went back to the t-Mobile ROM because of german support on many features but running ozVGA now successfully with two exceptions:
1. Each time I reset the device, I have to reinstall vjbigphone (0.91) and re-run the .exe to get my dialer back to full screen. VJ did a real got job, but I hope anyone coud tell me, what could be wrong?
2. Does anyone know, how to get rid of the stupid and ugly video-button in the t-mobile dialer? I replaced all BMPs with the one's from iMate, but yet video is the stupid grey. flat button.
Once this is solved, I will write down exactly how to get really the tiny machine running with the best tools for best results.
Greetings

ndee: why do you have to re-install the app?
After a soft reset, what happens when you choose the "load and fix" option from the tray?
I am hoping to spend some time on this app over the next few days. Many apps being fixed, one a at time...

Hi Vijay,
when I softreset, everything on the phone is back to the tiny layout. Even though I "load and fix".
Only workaraound I figured out is reinstall :-(
ndee
Strange - I know we spoke about this before, but then, after you re-install it works?
Have you tried not loading VJBigPhone, soft reset, load the phone (eg press green key, so you can see Tiny buttons) and then load VJBigPhone. Does that make any difference? Re-installing shouldn't make any difference, it doesn't load any settings etc from the registry etc...

I have some similiar problems. I'm using also the neweset german ROM on my MDA Pro and after a soft reset I don't have to reinstall the app, but I have to close it and restart it again to gain access to the phone application. Without close VJBigPhone nothing happens, after starting the application again everything works fine (till the next soft reset, which happens every morning after the daily backup)

I have an idea what might be the problem then.
The code was modified a while back to try to find the "phone" program without you having to specify the name in your own language (eg "telefon" instead of "phone"). However, it's possible that if the phone isn't found, it's getting confused. I'll try to look at the code again soon.
I'm not writing any new programs for a while while I do updates to all the old stuff

out of sudden, I dont need to reinstall anymore. Just after reset, I run vjbigphoneres and phone comes up full screen. Dont know what I did and how long it will last - keep you informed though - thx so far.
Any solution for the ugly video button of TM insight?
ndee
TM Button: I know you've spoken about it for a while, but I've got no experience of it, I don't really use my Universal I think someone (you?) posted one before, but could you send me a screenshot if you've got appropriate software, and if you have them, a zip of your extended rom?

The more i play with my MDA Vario, the more i get used to it, but the more i realise i'm a complete noob. I have been playing with/building/programing computers for years, but heldhelds are totally new to me.
I have had a look around, and this place seems to be where the pro's hang out. So could you kind people excuse my noobishness and answer some of my painfully noob questions?
I will start with...
1) Why don't programs actually seem to close when i 'close' them. Such as when i close Opera, yet it pops up again and again. I understand i can go into setting>system>memory and close running programs, but thats a pain to do all the time. So what the deal here?
2) At the top of my Today screen i have 5 larger icons accross the top which i would like to edit/remove/add new etc. I can go into settings>today>items and [un]check stuff that runs down the screen, but i cab't add new ones and can't see any options for the 5 larger icons at the top. Without instaling some kind of plugin, how can i change this?
EDIT: Ok, i see that 5 icons are part of something called just 'T-Mobile'. Any ides's how to change it and removing the pointless internet link thats that same os the hard button at the top of the MDA?
3) Is there an easy way to switch between running progams (like ALT+TAB in WinXP)?
To answer question 1 and 3:
Windows Mobile only minimizes programs by default. You can only close them, using the memory settings.
There are several Task-Manager and/or Close-Applications to override this "problem".
Some examples:
SPBPlus (www.spbsoftwarehouse.com)
Wisbar (http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com)
SmallMenu (http://tillanosoft.com)
tMan (http://pda.jasnapaka.com)
vbar (http://vieka.com)
MagicButton (http://www.trancreative.com)
...
..
.
Just slap in a new rom or the customized T-Mo rom that's in the forums...
What do you want all the bloat that T-Mo (and all the carriers) put in?

Update: Seems to be fixed now!
I'm hoping someone has come across this before and can offer some advice...
I was looking for a today plugin similar to the Wireless one but that allowed you to toggle your radio devices directly from the Today screen.
I couldn't find one so I pestered a friend (Delphi programmer) at work to write one which he did (in C++). The problem is that the plugin occasionally disappears from the Today screen.
This usually happens when the today screen is changed in any way (reordered or something else added or removed etc.) Our plugin will show up again if you remove and add it but I'm sure this is a simple problem of something we've overlooked?
Any help/pointers would be appreciated.
I never wrote a today plugin but I belive he forgot to include some "on refresh" or "on paint" function.
This may help: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms839442.aspx
and this http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb278109.aspx
Thanks LGSilva.. That second link looks like it might have some answers
That looks like a good plug in, please do share if you do fix it. Please.
Anyone like to test it ?
It seems the height of the window wasn't being updated properly.
I want to add a few options like icons/text display to it and it needs an installer of some kind but it would be good to see if it works ok for other people (we've only tested it on a Dopod 810 and an iPaq)
You'll need to update your registry manually for now...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Eff Comm"]
"DLL"="\Windows\EffComm.DLL"
"Type"=dword:4
"Enabled"=dword:1
"Options"=dword:0

I have the same problem here. I am using a Touch......
Hi there,
I have a G4 Wizard, T-mobile AKU 3.3 Rom (German version), SIM and CID-Unlocked, O2 Genion Card, several extension.
What I realized, from time to that the today plugins disappear on my fresh hard-reseted wizard.
1st: a hard reset,
2nd: installed claunch or O2 Plus and activated the shortcut plugin,
....
worked with it, some time, then it is going to standby or I switched back to home screen
.....
3rd: after turning it on (or getting back to home screen) it sometimes loosing the shortcut bar. I never recognized it with other plugins.
Going to Settings/Today/Elements the plugin is still activated. Deselecting and selecting it again and pressing "ok" in the upper right corner activates it again?! This is confusing me.
I can't recreate the bug by any action. It happens randomly. But mostly after returning from stand-by.
It happens to fresh hard reseted states as well as when I installed some apps like Homezone,pocket breeze etc.
Is there any known problem like this?
Many thanks in advance.
That, unfortunately, happens a lot, especailly with cLaunch and I don't have the O2 plus plugin so I couldn't tell you if that one does it too. Here's a little app that you put in your windows startup folder that will get it to do it a lot less often hopefully. Ever since I installed it on my phone cLaunch only dissapears about once ever 10 times that I reboot my phone instead of almost every time.
Impressive, that seems to help me.
Thanks bro.
No problem, I know how much of a pain that is.
I have the same problem
