Missing BT icon

Hi, guys.
All of a sudden, BT icon (the one that's located in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen) just dissapeard :x I didn't install any new software, didn't perform a reset, or something like that, it just dissapeard for no obvious reason. Any ideas how I could get it back on the screen?
TIA,
Zeljac

it once did that to me a softreset got it back though

That was the first thing I tried but the situation is still the same

what if you go into settings->connections and choose bluetooth and change it from what ever it's set to and press ok
and maybe change it back again

If you have the last version of BTTools you can push in the new BT icon and, inmediately, make soft reset.
Of this form I have the old BT icon again.

Thanks a lot, mate. I did exactly what you told me, and the icon came back...
Tnx,
Zeljac

Ooops, here comes the problem again After gettin my BT icon back, I removed BTtools, and the icon dissapeard again. I tried the same trick again but with no results. So my question is open for your answers once again

I have the same problem, it was a day or two after I installed and removed GB-Soft Tweak, it went missing ... reinstalled the Tweak, after a few soft-reset, it's gone again until now. Do you have this Tweak installed?

Have you already tried to change \HKLM\Services\BTIcon\Keep or any of the other settings under this key?
Hope that helps
Matthias

Hmm, a very strange thing happend. I synced it another computer (the one that I sync to maybe once or twice a week) and after that the icon just came back. So far, it's still there. Hopefully, it will stay that way :wink:
Anyway, tnx for all your replies...
Btw, I don't have GB-Soft tweak installed, and I was just about to start playing with the registry when the icon just appeared again.
Greetings,
Zeljac

the value for that registry key (keep) was set to 1. so, I set it to 0, soft reset, still no sign of BT icon.
then i set it back to 1, soft reset ... BT icon came back on!
however, in the next reset ... it's gone. something is messing with it in the background.

I also need my BT icon back.. I-Mate ROM 1.72 Any help, please?

I had the same problem. Days ago I installed skin for the keyboard and mysteriously icon BT returned.

I think there may be a link between the missing BT icon and the number of Today plugins installed or events being processed at startup. I think it is an Operating System issue.
For example.
If I soft reset my unit I can get the BT icon to vanish.
If I then deselect any today plug in and soft reset again the BT icon re appears. However if I do not deselect a today plug in and soft reset the BT icon does not reappear.
So perhaps it is related to a timing of events on load when starting?
Ed

This could be a good clue. The timing on startup sounds like a good theory to the problem.
If you look in the registry under [HKLM/Services/BTIcon] there are some interesting keys named: Index, Keep, Order and Context.
Anyone know how these are used???
(The keys "Order" and "Index" seems most interesting)

Similar to what I have said but that thread says to uncheck every today plug in. I have found you don't need to do that. For me just unckecking a single plug is in enough.
I'm pretty sure it is a loading issue.

Help! Slow input type selection window!

When you need to input text, you can click on the icon at the bottom of the screen to bring up the text entry area. You can tap on the little triangle beside the icon to bring up a window to select between block recognizer, keyboard, letter recognizer, phone pad, and transcriber.
On my 8125, it is taking a long time for this window to pop up after tapping the triangle. It is taking a few seconds, when it used to take maybe 1/3 of a second. It is quite frustrating!
Why is is doing this? And what can I do to speed it up like it used to be?
This has happened before. It was when I first got the phone and was installing apps and games on it. One day I noticed this slow behavior, and I ended up doing a hard reset and slowly adding my apps and registry tweaks back on one at a time to see what would cause the problem. Well, nothing caused the problem and it stayed fast for a long time.
Then yesterday I updated to Summiter's latest ROM and started adding my apps back on. This text entry type window was working just fine through most of it, and suddenly as I'm finally finished putting everything back to where I want it, this problem is back!
Help! I don't want to do another hard reset already!

I have the same problem, I use transcriber as SIP but since it takes so long to show up when you click the triangle, I just put a shortcut to transcriber.exe in the start menu folder. So, I just use the Programs menu, it's much faster

I like to switch between letter recognizer, keyboard, and transcriber. I suppose I could put links to them in the start menu, but it would be so much nicer if I could just figure out why it's being so slow!
Any ideas?

I've read this is due to having MS Voice Command installed, although I haven't confirmed this myself.

I have the problem and never installed Voice Command, so there must be another explanation

anyone idea what the keyboard exe is called?
thanks

This is supposedly caused by a bug in the OS. I use an application called 'Smartskey'. There is a setting that talks about reboot notification for a Wizard. This affects the time it takes for the input method choice popup-. See the text about it from the manual:
REMOVEDUPSDDAEMON=0 (0 or 1)
Only for HTC Wizard. The function is originally not related to SmartSkey. The HTC Wizard contains a program called sddaemon that is the voice command program for wizard. It contains a bug that it will automatically create one more
notification for each reboot. It will make the program slower and slower after a number of reboot and overflow the notification system. To set this to 1 will automatically remove the duplicated notification event. If you are a user of Wizard, it is suggested to set it to 1. The flag is harmless for other machines.
I cannot remember where I downloaded the program, but if you search this forum, you should be able to find a copy.

i dont use smartskey, so is it something else causing my slowdown? i dont understand.
is that a reg key your talking about there?

Smartskey isn't the problem. It solves a problem with the OS. zIt appears that every time the device restarts, it makes a record in a log file somewhere. Eventually, the log is so full, it takes longer and longer to pull up the menu. I don't recall all of the details, but I found it here. You can probably search to find more information.
The setting I put in the post is a smartskey.ini setting to resolve the problem.

thanks, might give it a try then

Alarm Problem

I've got a problem with the alarm clock function. Everytime I set a timing for an alarm and disable/change the timing for the alarm, it still continue to ring the following day. For example if I set it at 7.00pm yesterday and change it to 8.00pm today. The alarm will ring both at 7.00pm and 8.00pm. Any idea anyway to solve this problem? It's a minor problem but it does get on my nerves (=
Cheers.

Uncheck the box, and untick each day before you change alarm. OK in upper right. Go back in, make changes, check & tick as usual. This minimizes the problem for me. If you want a freeware to remove duplicates search Scarybear Check Notification.

Universal same story
My Universal had exactly the same problem, with both WM5 and WM6. may be a Windows bug?
In the HTC Universal topic in this forum, there's a lot of info to be found on this issue.

Scarybear's app is not really safe to use on WM6! Beware...it hasn't been updated for years now...
Try using SKtools instead for fixing the duplicate notification-entries...
These are probably causing your problem Steve
I had some alarm issues as well, and running SKtools after a number of reboots has fixed it. WM6 is a lot cleaner already than WM5 and WM2003SE, but sometimes there are duplicate items being generated (seems quite random; have used Kaiser for 2 months without problem appearing)...

Text messages always show bottom of screen first?

I am having a little problem with my text messages. Whenever I get a new message or try to compose one; the screen goes to the bottom and doesn't show the message. I have to slide or scroll up everything when I try to send or read a new message. I am on VP3G's latest rom(check sig for more details), and I don't think this happened before, but I cannot fully remember when it started to happen. Is this a known problem, or better yet, is there something I can do to fix it? Its not that big of a deal, just more of an annoying bug...Are there any registry settings I can do or try another program to fix it?

Since no ones seems to have any answers, what about a Registry tweak? Does anyone know of a setting I could edit or add to make it open messages from the top?

Unsure about the registry tweak, but for a temporary solution, you could just keep your SMS inbox clean so that all messages display on one page, allowing you to see the new one at the top, even though you're at the bottom.
Have you tried staying at the top, then resetting your phone at that moment? Does this happen in Outlook?

Try This
Q: Every time I open a message it goes to the middle/bottom of the message.
A: Install KaiserTweak, and disable D-Pad Scroll Navigation or use Schap's Advanced Configuration Tools and disable 4-way navigation.

The problem isn't the messages in the inbox, its that when I open the message, it goes to the bottom of the message right away, so I can see the actual message, or maybe just the very last line. The same goes for when I try and create a new text message, It goes right to the bottom, and I have to scroll up to see what I am typing.

I have advanced Config from Schaps installed, but 4-way navigation was already disabled...I haven't tried KaiserTweak, will that work for my Hermes, or should I say will it work correctly? If so, then I will try that next...
Thanks for the replies...

You guys are so locked on
I had the problem with the messages going to the bottom. I did the Kaiser Tweak and there are no more problems.
This message board is so locked on to solving issues.
Thanks for all your help.

Hey guys, is there ever any other reason for this to happen? I've tried disabling it in the advanced config and kaisertweak but neither help :/

The only fix I have ever known for that problem, was to disable
the stylus 4 way navigation.

To be clear - you are saying that a fix for this issue (that I have and it's annoying as hell) is to COMPLETELY disable the ability to use the D-pad for navigation???
I'm not bagging on you, but that is completely and totally unacceptable.
Shall we just disable the touch screen to solve some similarly mundane issue??
It shouldn't have to be like that. And we shouldn't have to live with it either.
But that's life I guess.

Other solutions for getting messages to open at the top?

May in fact be a mute point as I changed this feature using both KaiserTweak and the Advance Config and it did not remedy the problem.

I also have the same problem. D-PAD is already disabled. I also don't know when this problem started.

This registry tweak (basically, that's what the aforementioned tweaking tools do) solves the problem for me:
\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation\4-Way Nav = 1 (DWORD decimal)

Have you guys tried taping the "Arrange By" option on the upper right of the Message window. Choose the "Recieved" option. If you noticed, if you tap it one or more times it will arrange the messages from newest to oldest..

Screen On when SMS recieved

On friday my trusty MPV M3100 decided to give up the ghost, so as I was in London I decided to look for a new phone and picked up an Touch Diamond 2.
And I have to say; I love it.
Best phone I've had and even the lack of a hardware keyboard hasn't bothered me.
There is only one thing which has caused me some bother; on all my previous phones when an sms/mms has been recieved the screen will turn on for a while to alert me of this, however I can't find a way to do the same thing with the TD2.
The reason I would like this is down to me mostly leaving my phone on silent but in line of sight. The silent factor is because I'm often doing things with headphones on (such as at work) and I'm not going to hear the tone anyways.
So, while the green light is nice and all being able to have the screen turn on as an option would be nice..
As a coder by trade I've been poking around to see what I could do to let me do this myself, however if someone has a better solution or knows of an app which can already do it then I'd appricate it if they could tell me

There is a setting in:
All Settings->Personal->Sounds & Notifications->Notifications
Then select Messaging: New Text Message from the drop down list, and there is an option there "Flash Light For: x Minutes"
This might be what you're looking for?

thanks for the reply, however I'd already found that option and it only effects the green light which flashes when you get a messag; nice and stuble in keeping with the device but not what I'm after

Look for this registry value
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\DisableSMSWakeUpEvent
It should be 1, set it to 0

ah, excellent, thanks

just curious what program you guys are using to edit registry values...
sorry if this is a stupid question, but i'm new to Windows Mobile.. up until the D2 i've always have symbian phones.

I just did a google for "win mobile reg editor" and installed PHM Regedit to do the job.
Although I'm going to write a quick app to let me toggle this particular setting I think (i'll probably post the resulting cab/exe here encased others want it)

I'm using Total Commander (I just started editing the registry). What do you guys use for making a CAB file?

Thank Oruam, great tweak.
I currently have the option selected to display a new sms message on screen as soon as it arrives, is it possible when i hit reply to get the device to go to the touch flow threaded messaging system rather than the WM6.1 default?

Thanks guys!
Is there any way to have it vibrate & play a sound, but not enable the touch screen? The reason I ask is that I dont want the screen to come on while it's in my pocket etc, and things start to get accidentally pressed!

Awesome! Thanks!

I'm sorry ormz.
I'm interesting for that option to have flash light blinking when sms/mail arrives, unfortunately I haven't got the option you mentioned into my settings referred to "new SMS".
I've got the original rom installed (italian version).
May I arrange same setting/option into register also if I haven't it on display?
Could someone help me?

lock the device:
"real lock" - press the hang button (the one on the right) until it shows unlock at the bottom left side
stand-by - press the power button only for 1 second and the screen will go off. When receiving a message, the screen stays black. To see menu-s again, press again power button for 1 second

someone could tell me how to make it works with email event?

What are you looking for? Are you tryting to navigate to the registry through file explorer? If so, you need a reg editor to do that...
You know this is an old thread, right?

yeah i know its a old thread... i had a registor editor.. actually acouple. i found what i was looking for.. just didnt start with hkml.. thanks though for replying..
