Hi guys! This is my first post!! Just got an I-mate Jam, just wondering how does one disable SIM contacts on smart dialing. When I try to search a contact on Smart Dial, it shows both contacts I have in the phone and the contacts in my SIM card, therefore 2 contacts would show up. Anyways to fix this?
Please RTFM! :shock:

ooo get the wannabe mod :roll:
What if he got the phone without a manual or has lost it.
Its the guys first post!!!!! The reply was unacceptable.
If i had a manual myself i would have told him the answer.
Ha, I've got the same thing on my MDA Compact- hasn't really bothered me until I saw this topic
I will have to RTFM tonight i think :lol:
It makes a VERY BIG DIFFERENCE if at least explain that the unit was acquired without the manual or CD which contains the manual, or as you (pda) said the manual/CD got lost.
I've been in Tech Support for 15 years and believe me, I know when people ask for help without reading the manual.
@sh500: That's the right attitude! Right on!
i rtfm - 3.3 Smart dialing (page 22 in russian manual) but did not find the solution....
hmm, so zerimar, y dont u tell us how to do it? i believe u do kno how to do it, coz u've been in "Tech Support for 15 years" and must hav "rtfm" pretty many times n probably kno "tfm" by heart.. theres no harm tellin as "Forums are designed to help people" rite? :wink:
From Page 49 of Manual
Smart Dialiing searches the Phonebook entries in both the SIM card and Pocket Contacts, as well as numbers in Call History (Incoming, Outgoing, or Missed).

With what is said in the manual there is no way of filtering out entries from the SIM card. The only way is if there is a 3rd party software that would;
1. Replace Smart Dialing
2. Have similar feature like in Nokia phones to select which phonebook to use .
@Appu: I never read manuals from cover-to-cover for whatever gadgets I buy, but I browse through it to have an idea of the features, capabilities and limitations of the gadget. I keep the manual handy just in case I am not clear about something.
Forgot to mention. The only way would be to delete the entries in the SIM card (anyway a copy is is Pocket Contacts which is then syncronized to Outlook).
aah so thts how it is.. thanx, zerimar..
hope this info by zerimar was useful for btong and everybody else around..
Ah it's a shame there was not concrete answer....
What's not concrete? It's crystal clear that it's designed as a feature but for most of us has become a disadvantage. This shows that's it's a limitation of the OS/software. From the day I acquired my S100 and noticed the problem, I have already started searching for a solution (3rd party software, or registry hack).
This is similar to the BT issue. By default, the only way to switch on BT is to switch off Flight Mode first and this is solved by PocketMax's Phone Alarm.

Well I was making reference to the originial question and the simple answer to it is no, you can't select which phone book to browse; whether the manual was read or not prior to the question being asked.
In my opinion a 'designed feature' in this case would be one that gave users the option. The way it is currently is more of a 'design by default'.
Thanks, that's the answer I wanted... It's my first time posting here, doesn't mean it's my first time posting in a forum. I wouldn't have asked this question if it was clearly written on the menu or if someone asked the same question in the forum... 15 years of tech support eh? maybe it's about time to change job before getting fired...

It is very actual problem. Is there anybody who solved that?
Hi,
I have the I-mate Jam.
I got this problem when sending text messages.
Each time I send one the message : Message send.
comes in my screen twice.
First I tought it was just a second warning but then my friends told me they got 2 messages each time with the same content.
And yes I get billed twice aswel :-(
I didn't try to hard-reset my I-mate yet couse I wasn't sure if this was just a technical problem or a setting in the messaging system.
Do you guys have had any probleems that looks simalair like this one?
or have any idea on how to fix it?

Is it not a general rule that before posting one should;
1. read the Stickies
2. browse through
3. search
In fact here's a nice link for everyone which I believe it was initially posted by "nonentity" http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/posting.php
Some people are just so dumb lazy and don't bother to do any of the above.
Why not just stay out of the post.... instead of replying with foolishness.
Just makes you look like you got your head up your arse..
It's the guys who post stupidly who have their heads up their asses.
Infact I did use the search function but didn't found what I was looking for.
But thanks anyway.
I have pocket plus installed so think it is solved now.
Thank you Zerimar you really know how to help people you should work at a helpdesk :wink:

Guys,
I know I sounded harsh but my point is that by doing some search with the proper words (i.e. sms sent twice, or sms sent 2 times) for sure you will easily find your answers:
Just to prove to you guys, I just now did a search using the parameters mentioned and found over 15 posts in a couple of minutes. In the third link, which is from Oct 2005 "elyl" already mentioned that this same question was already posted.

No he's not a smart a**. He's actually a quite helpful member of this forum. His suggestion to search is that standard answer by anyone who's been around and/or contributed to this forum for any amount of time.
The point of the Search function is to try and get newbies and the inexperianced to look for the answers themselves and not make other members repeat the same information over and over for every new member that is either too lazy to search and read or just doesn't know that the Search function exists. The information posted here is so far and above what your carrier or software or hardware vendor could provide you for any price and it's available for FREE. So respect the forum and respect the members or go call your service provider for answers. (HA)
You are in no position to tell anyone, especially a Senior member to "shut up" if they don't have an answer.

@evilhomer - thanks for the support.
@wratran - so the seaching or reading is working for you obviously since you found one of those links I was talking about.
To the topic - I wish we could get the UA bypassed in WM6 PIE since I do not like NetFront. I think pappl is looking into it.

wpbear, have you tried this solution to the UA problem? PAPPL and some Europe users were having the same issues and he made a .zip with some files to replace the default files that are keeping PIE from sending out the changed UA in the registry

I am happy to report this works and I will be posting two cabs shortly to make this install the two files and make the reg fix. One cab will be just the fix and the other will be a realplayer all in one fix.
EDIT: Here are the CABS
EDIT- Cabs removed- the fix by pappl causes some to have email problems. If you still want his fix since it works for most people then go to his thread.
Glad it works for Cingular Video as well. Nice work making the .cab files!

Exactly what has changed in this forum when people who are upstanding members of this community, like wpbear are put down and attacked by "big shots" who want to show they are better than the others on here? wpbear's comments were valid and to the point. It's really quite annoying on a **developers** web site to have the same questions asked over and over again. wratran--get over yourself. So, you can search. Yay. How about you post the results of your search without the person attacks next time, huh?
This forum is NOT for kiddies who are just learning how to make a phone call. It is, in my opinion, a forum designed for DEVELOPERS who actually understand what they are doing! There are n00bie forums around that will fit you better. HowardForums.com comes to mind...
I rest my case....
you noticed wpbear finally post a link to help a member...instead of making smart AS* remark. Look at his first response after the question was asked...and see how obnixious he was...
The search function on this forum does not work very well. I did not get that link by using the search command.
Since I have still not upgraded to WM6 (holding out for WMXL 3.0), I can confirm it works on WM5 AKU 3.3 with PIE. Awesome work guys, I really didn't like Netfront and now it's bye-bye gone!
Huge problem with this fix with outlook email not opening. Email list opens and then the message will try to open but it freezes. Have to close poutlook to get out of it and still can't view emails until HR. I veriefied it is was by installing each app I Had one a a time. I havenot tried this again with the manuall fix and checking email. I will try later.
Edit-The webview dll is causing the email and sms problem but without it the favorites links in pie do not work.
Ugh... yeah, I can definitely confirm that problem!
Is it possible to fix without a hard reset? (I haven't looked inside your cab yet.) I just got all my apps reinstalled and set up on the latest LVSW!
some reason i did not have the outlook problems.
i am using wm6 black 1.2 version with netfront 3.3 and shogun realplayer. i followed the instruction from lokemup and it works.
to many things to comment on here... so i will just tell everyone to place nice or i will lock this thread, since there was already a massive thread on this....
i depend too much on the email auto complete on my pc. is there a way to transfer the autocomplete to my pocket pc. adding eveybody to contacts is stupid and not practical
if there is no easy way to do that, then i believe its a good idea for someone to develop an application to do that.
no, as outlook 2003/2007 rely on an outlook.nk2 file in your windows profile for the autocomplete addresses, essentially an outlook addresses cache, where as windows mobile references its autocomplete right from your contacts list, without a proprietary cache file.
from everything i have seen in Windows, the .nk2 file is not etiable, or readable in any editor, so the options of importing it into WM seems remote.
jeez... this is crazy.
STOP POSTING QUESTIONS HERE!
there's a whole dedicated section for these things!!!
it's admirable that people answer questions and want to help. but this is flooding the Dev&Hack section. stop answering here.
"jeez" !!!
are you really a jew
take it easy nir. i was hoping to get someone intrested in developing this tool as it can be really usuful for far too many people. if a mod thinks this is not good here he should transfer it elseware
two things
- my pocket pcs does auto complete for addresses that i have used before they dont have to be in contact
-there are tool that can edit the outlook.nk2 from NIRsoft(lol) http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/outlook_nk2_autocomplete.html
how hard can it be to simply add the email adresses from the nk2 to the word auto complete in the ppc

Right......
Anyways, nir is right, this is something you should have posted in the Q&A section. Why is this a point you must argue???
I'm still trying to figure your problem. You don't feel like adding the contacts you email in your contacts list? Works fine for me!
i have over 1000 entries in my PC outlook autocomplete cache(as the nk2 tool shows)
i want to make use of these entries on my pocket pc. i always find myself in a position where i have wait untill im in the office to send an email because i dont have the address in my contacts. i really hate adding contacts that i will not constantly use as they tend to slow the system and make searching harder.
- i did not mean to disrespect nir of anything like that. not sure how you got this impression.
actually the software linked above can create a text file with all the entries. whats left it to feed this file to the ppc auto complete. anybody willing to help with that?
am i the only one who finds a utility like this very useful
i'm lost.
and ... what?
yes, i'm jewish. what's your point?
and please, post your questions/problems in the Questions & Answers section.

You must be if you rely on the .nk2 file for your auto complete. That is one of the quickest files to get corrupted on windows. So much so that windows will automatically delete it if it does become corrupt. It was never ment to be a feature, just a conveince. That is about as stupid as buying a 1tb hdd and never backing up.
let's not fight.
let's live in peace.
[SUBLIMINAL MESSAGE]
let's post questions in the Questions & Answers section of the forum thank you very much and not answer questions here because it makes people ask more questions here which makes more people ask questions here.
[/SUBLIMINAL MESSAGE]
and fatso, i'll take the "jew" comment as a compliment and leave it at that.
cheers..
mr.incredibly stupid. take your incredibly arrogant, irrelevant and usless answer elseware. if you are too stupid or blind to see how something like this can potentionally be usuful to some, then i feel sorry for you.
in the first post i asked if someone was willing to develop a small utility (in my second reply i asked to transfer this if the mod thought it was in the wrong place) . i got trashed because part of my original request "sounded like a question" i think your all are making a big fuss over nothing. almost non of the replies is usuful up till now.
nir, i just thought that it was weird for a jew to say jeasus...it was a crappy joke and you all made it even crappier by dragging it on for ever instead of making an effort to reply to the request.
I love my Tytn 2 but what has always annoyed me is the number of clicks to get to a new SMS screen:
start -> messaging -> sms/mms -> menu -> new -> sms
I have to make sure i dont accidentally press MMS -- I never use MMS and I dont know anyone who does! Never seems to work between different phone types anyway.
I'd like to hack the registry to get rid of all MMS options if possible.
Also any shortcuts to get straight to the "new SMS" window ?
Thanks
Dave
The place to ask questions is the Questions & Answers section of the forum.
I almost did it, almost gave the answer !
This is one of those things that is all over the place, literally, just search. After searcing, tell me exactly how long it took you to find it.
ok sorry guys for posting in wrong place -- I did search everywhere. if you can be arsed to reply then maybe help by pointing me in the right direction -- you are typing anyway!
search for "remove MMS options only returns my post -- thats what i was searching for. "SMS shortcut" -- fair enough!! but thats not actually what i was looking for...
sorry gods of xda ;-)
Well posted wrong or not, i can give you a tip...
Go to contacts, click the contact of whom you want to send an sms and choose send sms, sure is a shorter way, at least if you going to do a new sms and add a contact
Thanks Leonick -- obvious!! ive only been using WM for about 4 years
Why I bother sometimes.........
Create a text file with notepad, and type this exactly:
"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "" - body ""
Then save it as New SMS.lnk
just a recommendation here..
you could use the actionscreen application..i have it mapped on the bottom bar for quick access. It takes 2 clicks to get started on a new sms this way

You're NOT going to remove the MMS option. You were complaining that you might tap MMS instead. Oh dear God!!! So instead of all those clicks after clicks after clicks you had to do, I gave you the answer you needed, a simple shortcut to create an SMS.
Yeah, we're friendly, but we get a bit tired of seeing these new threads started, even though there are signs every where, DO NOT POST HERE!
Seriously, what does this have to do with development?
