This might sound strange, but I'd need a program for WM5 Smartphones that can be called by a symbolic link (*.lnk) that I'd assign to a HW key and that does not do anything, just immediately returns without even switching the display. Does anyone have a crazy thing like that?
Thanxx, Mixx
PS: I am not totally crazy. I just have an HTC Excalibur (but the O2 XDA Cosmo version) that has a HW key for the Internet Explorer. I need to hijack that key, because I need to have a way to enter accented characters and I refuse to pick them from a huge table with the cursor. I managed to use AEKeymap, but if I use the current IE-key to switch to accented, it will first call the IE and only when I return (by e.g. ESCAPE) does it put down the right symbol. I figure, if I remap that key to this "does-nothing-app" (and I know how to use SHORT_IE.lnk), I'll be OK.
Currently I hijack the Messaging key for this purpose. That has the same problem, but if I am in an Email or SMS, it is no harm that it jumps to Messages (ends up where it started from, since I am in that app already). Thus I can have accented character in Emails, but not in any other application.
Nobody could help so far, but I am just too stubborn. This must be a solvable problem.

Wonderful, wonderful, thanks a million.
Works exactly as I described above.

Hi all.
I had been having problems with the drawing functionallity in the notes section of my JasJam. I use the notes section of the JasJam to record business appointments. I would do this in my own handwritting while on the phone using my bluetooth.
Sometimes the handwritten notes would work ok, but other times a box would appear around my drawn writing. The Box would state "drawing". I don't know why this box would appear sometimes and not other times. This was not the worst of it however.
After the box appeared and if I scrolled the note, often the note would become jumbled. Once jumbled the note was usually difficult to read and I could find no way to unjumble it. As you would expect this was an extremly annoying problem which made my phone a dam pain to use.
I was told on another forum that the problem was with Microsoft's Rick Ink. I have found a way to solve this problem. I post on this forum for the benifit of others who may also be over frustrated with this problem.
Indeed, Microsoft Rick Ink is to blame. The problem appears to be a part of the "Microsoft Active Recognizer." I discovered that if I delete the following registry key, the Active Recognizer stops. And guess what? No more jumpled notes! Horay!
The drawing box still appears, but the notes never become jumpled. Here is the registry key to delete:
Hkey_Local_machine\software\microsoft\richink\activeRecognizer
Some may be wondering what other effects this will have to their Pocket PC. I can say that personally I have not noticed anything major. I think the Recognizer is supposed to recognise a drawing and allow you to tap on it to select it and then to change it's size by dragging the selection.
From what I can tell, I now cannot select drawings in this fashion. I cannot change their size by dragging. For me this was a useless feature anyway. I never wanted to change the size of drawings.
Hope this helps those other few frustrated souls.
Cheers.
Hi
Well that's interesting information - particularly for those that just want to record handwriting without the drawing functionality.
The function you speak about is an official funtion of the notes package and does have it's uses if like me you want drawing functionality within notes. You just make your shape and block the rough area in order to have the shape recognised as a drawing. Even holding the stylus for slightly longer than normal has this effect. Of course once in drawing mode you can move the selected drawing around the screen. It sounds like you have been getting into the drawing functionality by accident - which can happen fairly easily I admit, when you did not want to.

It would be may be good to create a list of known bugs and other problems with the WM6 ROM for Typhoon. Please post here if you know about some bugs or strange behaviour.
I have been using this rom since yesterday and after few restarts, the phone remains stuck for about 3 minutes in the "mobile operator" screen during start up. Eventualy it asks for pin code, but after typing in, the time, operator and appointments information is missing in the home screen. I have flashed WM6 once again, but this phenomenon occurred again after application unlock and installation of basic software (xbar 2.5, pocket controller, Binaries smart explorer, auto keylock, smart time sync) + few restarts. Now I am searching for the reason if this is caused by some registry entry or by an incompatible software installed...At present I removed all the software but problem still present. Ready to make registry clean or hard reset...
lot of software incompability, mostly games,
-bug tcmp looks like the same most games have; there is sound but the screen will freeze in a few seconds (sound continues )
..tried to add T9 language according to instructions described at Ronswens pages for WM5. During writing sms I can choose the new language, but after choosing it only beep occurs when pressing a key. I suppose there should be changed also some another key in registry...do we have some experiences already with the T9 languages on this WM6 rom?

I have found the decision:
1)
We open "exe" a file with game in any HEX-editor, we find gx.dll and it is replaced on g0.dll
We clean the signature from a file by means of SignRemv and it is done new by means of Signed tool
To place the changed file back, and a file g0.dll to place in folder Windows
or 2) To replace a file gx.dll in folder Windows, in any a file-manager to put "read only" and restart (there can be problems with other programs)
As example Bustem
PS: forgive for my bad English

how do you make application unlock on wm6 ?
Java
is there Java support with this WM6 ROM? I can't seem to find it. Very useful for Opera Mini and Gmail standalone app.

Use regeditSTG2.exe to modify the following phone registry keys:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies0001001 = 1 (that will enable the rapi_config, 1 means full access to rapi config, 2 means user controlled access)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies0001005 = 40 (that disallows the check for security cirtificate etc)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies0001017 = 144
Run SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe from the PC with the phone connected via ActiveSync. This will unlock the phone.
Disconnect and switch the phone off then back on again.
Hi,
I can't use voice talk (via handset bluetooth) before in wm2k3 and wm5 i have the fonction to add voice command with contact, but now no.
It is normal ?
Thx.
...I also revealed interresting behaviour when you are trying to connect to internet via GPRS. There sometimes occurrs error message that it couldnt be established GPRS connection because of missing GPRS coverage. (the "G" is also missing in homescren icon bar). But I am sure there is no GPRS coverage problem in my location.
So in this case you have to go into the phone settings and choose your network again. Afterwards when you are re-registerd in your network, the symbol G is present in iconbar and you can run the GPRS connection. Sometimes prolongomenous procedure...
I had pretty much the same thing as a few of the others.
Xphone11
WM5 - WM6
It flashed all ok, the phone booted all good and worked fine - but then after around 15 min of running, reciving one call and 3 failed attempts at sycning it died.
Well - actually, I re-booted it for something and it never came right after that.
These are the issues which appeared;
Contacts wouldn't open (yet the proccess was fired),
Calendar threw a 'missing file' error,
Start menu wouldn't work (no response from the button),
GPRS service was dropped ("no service available" - even though there was and the phone could see it if you seeked for it),
Yet the phone recived text messages while in this state and while calling the phone it just wouldn't do anything - yet to the caller it would appear to just ring and ring (not a provided service).
An interesting thing - I found that by making a change to the home screen or theme would allow the start menu too function as it should and the the clock to be displayed on the home screen.
Could be an area worth investigating....
I've had a taste now.... I want WM6!!!
What can I do to help?
...it also would be interresting to know whether there is a possibility to run the USB modem - I couldnt find it in start menu/accesories nor in the windows folder...
How to install for QTEK 8020 (T-Mobile SDA) joystick? please help... fuctional joystick in WM06 (my english low sorry)... right is up, left is down and left not functional and right... ???

Because WM6 for Typhoon Error on Dumprom.
WM6 looks fantastic, however...
I also have a few disappointments the most important of which are:
- No "Headset" option in the profiles menu!!!
- No STK menu!!!
- Very easily crashing on games and some progs (hope to fix it as stated above)
and the camera is definately worse than in 2003SE
..various language t9 cab files - I tried it and it works fine on WM6

do anyone try the standard calculator in wm6 ? It show error in my c500 so I have to use other calculator program
..it looks that my calculator works properly...
After this issue, fate had worse things for my P3400i(gene). It fell down and the speaker stopped working. Frustrated with repeated issues, I decided to dump my gene and I picked up the Touch 2 (the special version without 3G and GPS).
Now, the P3400i had a 'Ctrl' key in its keypad which was handy for copying, pasting, selecting et al, just like a desktop. But I cant find the 'Ctrl' key on my Touch Keypad. Is n't it really there or am I missing something?
I think you are right: There is no Ctrl-Key in the keyboard. But look out for the free Program Total Commander: It's not allowed for me to post links (so search google for that tool) , it's a file manager with an "integrated" Ctrl-Key for copying, etc....
No, its not here. Missin nothing.

Thanks L.J.Silver. 'Total Commander' is a file manager. What I am looking for is a keypad that comes with a control key. I want to have the 'Ctrl' key when I am typing say an SMS or working on a word file. I did come across SPB Keyboard but its not a freeware. I am going to try it and see if its worth the money. In the meantime, pl let me know if you know of another solution.
You can use Finger Touch Keyboard. However it's shareware but works fine without issues. It has various skins which can be used and contains Shift as well as Ctrl Keys.
Here's the link:

Naveen: Thanks a ton for this one. They have a stripped down freeware version as well. I installed it and it works yahoo!
I got myself this phone some time ago: http://www.solonomi.com/index.php/m...gps-wifi-word-excel-msn-and-dual-cameras.html
I'm quite happy with it, but I need help, maybe a registry hack, to overcome a little problem it has.
The problem is that the Enter key on the qwerty keyboard, when used inside Word Mobile or other word processors (I've already tried DocumentsToGo and Softmaker Office 2008) acts as the Ok button, so, instead of inserting a blank line, Word saves the file and closes it. I've installed FingerKeyboard and I can overcome the problem using the virtual keyboard, but that's pretty annoying.
The most strange thing is that I've seen it randomly working like it should, but I can't find a way to make that the default behaviour.
Thanks in advance.
