well i tried to do one of the reg hacks on one of the forums to change my type of ringtone. and somehow it messed up my phone. the phone app will not open at all. i have tried it in start menu and i have tried it from a shortcut key and from my green button. will not open. when i receive a call, it opens, and then once that call is over, i can open it again whenever. but i dont want to have to wait for someone else to call me every time i want to make a call. and i DEFINITELY dont want to do a hard reset. any advice? please? </desperation>
well i fixed it. sorta. i think for real this time. i backed up all my files, prepared to do a hard reset. and at the last possible moment, the phone app opened. sometimes i hate electronics. so now the phone opens every time but the USB to PC icon doesnt open anything anymore now. i dont know. i can live without that.

Hallo, I have a cool applcation idea that I plan to implement that would probally make thiefes return my MDA-Pro after they stole it.
For that reason I need to be able to run an application or show a clickable screen on the MDA-Pro BEFORE login. That screen is supposed to be shown EVERYTIME the MDA-Pro is turned on. You can only proceed to the login screen from there with a certain keybaord shortcut. Also doing a reset should not disbale this feature. Can that be done some how ? If so how ?
I saw somewhere a password screen that was a picture and you had to click in just the right spot of the picture to gain access. I imagine that your message could be a picture to accomplish this. As for a hard reset solution, you'd have to add it to the ext rom so it would be re-installed automatically.

This can be nicely resource edited to match your theme.
However, I've stopped using all such programs because they reset your hardware button settings if you're using AEButton Plus or any third party mapper (eg ButtonMax).
I don't think this will get your phone back. I'm writing a program that might though. Working on it, I'll keep you posted. In the mean time, check out IIWPO.

Maybe I should be more specific:
I have already finished an app that does what I want:
It it has a little embedded window showing what the video conference camera currently sees. It displays some fake government info and an animated GPS localisation icon. It has several other little scary acting features (such as a windows that pops up after a short random while, saying "EuroSecure GPS localisation data and video sequence sucessfully transmitted!" ) and the thief can see the adress where the device should be returned too. That application can only be cancelled with a certain keycombination. Now my only problem is getting this application to ALWAYS run BEFORE the login screen.
Hi,
I was wondering, can I put a code on my contacts and my messages?
I just dont like it when people are playing with my phone, how easy it is for them through my contacts and messages.
Never had this problem with previous phones (well it isn't a REAL problem, just a hindrance), cause there you had to go through at least 2 or 3 clicks to see them.
Anyone know any software I can install for this? Or how I can enable it?
Im running the stock rom btw, should it matter...
Put the main pin code in Settings & Lock or...
...don't give other people your phone!
I've never heard of something which locks just the items you mention, sort of goes against the point of an easy to use, easy to access phone UI.
I think I saw a Samsung phone which had it, everything was open on the phone, just the text messages required a pin. I saw it and loved it.
And its mainly now that I have a new phone that everyone wants to see it and use it, and I don't want to be prick and say no =)
As for a main PIN, I do have that.
what you got to hide!?
yes samsungs (well at least use to) enable you to set codes for individual programs. eg texts, pictures, videos etc etc. not seen another phone that does that though. tbh its good with have a lock code at all as alot of phones dont even have that!
best thing to do is turn touch flow off so its just the windows today screen, then they have to scroll trough your programs etc to get to contacts/msgs
Hi. I have a new HTC Touch 2. On the 'Start' menu, there are a number of icons / applications. They all start with one tap. Except 'Internet Explorer'. The first tap on the IE icon, takes you back to the 'Today' screen, with 'Internet Explorer' briefly being able to be seen in place of 'Start', then the words disappear. However, the programme does not run. On tapping 'Start', again, and then tapping once on the 'IE' icon (again), it runs. This happens every time I want to use IE. Why? HTC Contact Centre suggested I place IE on the 'Programs' page and try that. It was the same. they have failed to respond to my response. Is there a remedy? Cheers. Dave
Although I can't help you solve this, my phone does exactly the same as yours.
The problem also shows up in email - when you click a link, you see "Internet Explorer" very briefly in the subject line, and then have to click the link a second time.
It does seem odd that a Windows powered device is insistent on using Opera by default, but I wondered if this was because IE was problematic.
Hi, dtmark. You may well be right. I figured that someone would have encounterted this before and know the solution. Maybe it's just you and I!
Thanks
Hi. It's not a best solution but .... If you reset a phone (Start-Settings-System-Delete Memory) problem seems as solved. But you must install all apps again and before deleting you must backup your phone. It worked for me.
Thanks, Ondrej. HTC suggested a hard reset which is effectively the same as you suggest. I did that, and it caused other issues and did not fix this particular issue, so I'm a bit reluctant to try it again. Thanks, anyway.
My company has a Windows Mobile app that is a medical application all done in C++. There are no services that run on startup or anything like that. I have had a few customers from time to time mention that our app wont start when launched manually. There is no error message, it just fizzles out. The problem seems to persist between soft resets. Uninstalling/reinstalling the app doesnt help. Only a hard reset seems to correct it. There are other symptoms besides our application. After a soft reset and before attempting to launch our app the device seems sluggish. Active sync wont connect. Launching remove programs can take 30 sec to a min to bring it up. We have mainly seen this on Touch Pro 2's. We had only heard of it a couple of times until recently when one customer has had numerous ones happen in the last couple of months. It doesnt seem to happen when first using, only after device has been in use a while. Again a hard reset has been the only fix. Does anyone have any ideas where to look on this? Any help would be appreciated.

Do you use CreateMutex or FindWindow to detect a running instance of the application?
Windows Mobile uses some hidden top level windows without a message queue. If such a window exists, EnumWindows within FindWindow cannot return.
Thanks for your hard work !
Im not sure of the specifics, but we do have some code in there to detect existing windows and use those. The thing about it is that once it gets in this state it does it every time you try to launch, even after soft resets. A hard reset and re-installation of our app will correct it.
Some devices still have a wrong configuration of the object store. From this it follows that after every warm reset the file system carries out double entries in the notification database. This can lead to various problems.
The following one is only one effect of many: Activesync Connection Issue due to Redundant Notification Database Entry
STABILITY ISSUES & CAR MODE FAULT --HELP PLEASE!!
Guys I need some help please.
The phone is great but over the past 2 months I have noticed occasional stability issues like programs suddenly opening up when you turn on screen that haven't been selected etc.etc
There is a list of 9 common faults published including some where, for eg OK google was working fine but suddenly doesnt etc.
This week in CAR MODE I noticed this unexpected error that restarting, clearing app cache, clearing app data etc will NOT fix.
Everything was working OK and I changed nothing that could have caused this.
when selecting Nav from carmode home screen it asks you "where do u want to go?", as per normal.
When I open the search text box to enter the address where I want to go, instead of verbally telling it, it accepts text characters for about 3-4 sec then suddenly just goes straight back to the carmode home screen before you finish typing the info and then hitting search!! Every time.
This is extremely annoying as it is the only accurate way to give it an address as it often miss hears the verbal names.
I cannot find anywhere a way of downloading and reinstalling carmode version 1.2.44.16607 so it can reload whatever blasted line of code is suddenly corrupted and causing the problem. if it was a separate app I could just uninstall and reinstall it but it is part of the OS and even in Galaxy apps I cannot find the specific Samsung app.
I DO NOT want to do a factory reset and wipe my phone!!, that is a BS solution just as it is on a PC for trying to fix a minor windows error.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY POSSIBLE SUGGESTIONS PLEASE???
