hiding data connection dialog - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi Guys
Is there a way that the "negotiating data connection" dialog can be hidden with a registry change on WM5?
Reason being I'm developing a flash lite data driven app for a device specific service with issued handsets to users during a corporate event. I'm going to make the Flash Lite app using a loop to regularly try accessing the data connection to keep it alive, but there is a possibility the signal will disappear and reappear as people walk around.
Basically I've found users get confused by the OS messages in this case and I don't want the usual "Connecting to 3G" message to make them think there's a problem if it can't connect.
If there's no data connection - My app will store data locally until getting back into an area of coverage, then reconnect and send data.
Regards
Derek

try this, go into phone settings, sounds and notifications, and for event select "connection established.
you can then uncheck the box that says "display message on screen"

Thanks NguyenHuu - didnt think about the obvious approach! I'll give that a try!

Ha! That's too good. I've been wondering about this for awhile, too. never thought to try the easiest method! thank you sir.

Gmail Sending/Receiving Problems

I've upgraded to the new AT&T ROM for the 8525. Yea, I know, I don't know how to upgrade any others; I'm too damn new to this.
Anyway, prior to the upgrade, with all the settings, I was able to send/receive email from Gmail. Now, I can only receive. When it tries to send, it says something like Ensure you have Data Coverage or a Plan or something like that. Yes, I have unlimited data and settings should be set. I would take screen captures, but I don't know how. Any ideas or solutions on why I can get but not send?
Thanks
best guess. search froum for "AT&T cab". possibly new rom upgrade didnt include all settings. download, copy to ppc. and clickity click.

SMS not functioning -- any suggestions?

For the 2 years that I have owned my O2 Xda mini (operating on WM2003SE and using Wisbar Advance 2 overlay), I have not been able to get the SMS to work -- no voice mail, no text messaging. I have contacted my carrier, AT&T (formerly Cingular), and since they don't sell the phone, they are really not interested in solving the problem and suggest that it's the phone. HTC, though, blames the problem on the carrier. I have tried a different SIM card in my phone, but no change.
When I go into the phone options, select Tools/Options/Services and then Voice Mail and SMS, and then press Get Settings..., a message tells me "Reading settings from the network" and a telephone number comes up for "SMS service center," but nothing for "Voice Mail." If I manually enter the number supplied by AT&T and click OK, I get a message: "Sending new settings to the network," then a Network error message: "Unable to save your changes to the network. Try changing settings later, or disconnect data connection and try again." It gives me the option to "Retry"; but if I do, I get the same thing.
I can check Voice Mail by dialing my own mobile number, but I do not receive any notifications -- that a message is waiting, that I missed a call, etc. And as for text messaging, I've never tried it because I'm not sure how to do it. In my profession, I really need Voice Mail notification so that I don't miss important messages. Text messaging would be nice as well. I don't want to toss the phone and invest in another because I suspect this is a solvable problem. I just don't know what the solution is.
Sorry to be so ignorant. Any help the community can provide would be much appreciated (since no one else seems interested). Thanks.

The problem is neither the handset not the carrier. Rather its Wisbar Advance 2 most probably. However, I can suggest you that you should try disabling (read uninstalling!) Wisbar and then try. If it doesn't work, you should then make a quick note of all the apps that take data for SMS and Voicemails. Disable all of them and try. It will work!
I had a problem with Wisbar Advance 2 until I upgraded it to 3. So hope that the above works the way it did for me.
Thanks.
Thanks, nirmit, I'll give it a try. I really like the Wisbar interface. It sounds like Wisbar Advance 3 will work, right? I'll keep you posted.

TF3D autoupdate

Does anyone knows if there is an application that will autoupdate all the tabs when connected to the internet? (that is WiFi or activesync).
I know about the autoupdate feature on each tabm but you still have to scroll into the tab for it to update, what i really mean is an application that will automatically update weather, mail and stocks tabs without scrolling on it.
Thanks.
I am also looking for an answer to this question. Did you managed to find out how to do this?
Same question was this resolved elswhere?
J
same queston
...it was asked elsewhere - in Applications, I think. But no sign of an answer yet.
As far as I'm aware there is no such application. Would be advantageous if such an app existed. Hopefully I am mistaken and someone can enlighten us with this.
Hopefully there is a solution.
in every "updateable" tab (mail, stocks and weather) there is option of "download Data automatically" and you can set the frequency of updates (except in weather where you can set it to download weather data automatically but can't set the frequency.)
WARNING: such automatic update can burn a hole in your pocket by using huge bandwidth if you are using GPRS / 3G with limited data allotment.

Right so my thinking was, that it should be possible to tweak hack those settings to do the following:
1 update automatically when it detects a connection
2 or/and at fix intervalls
3 take away the annoying "do you want to update now"
warning everytime you go to those screens when you enable the auto update function.
I have no knowledge of such things was hoping someone who has would take up the challenge .
Thanks in advance

About "Allow automatic updating" in Market

I've been searching around for abit and couldn't find answers, so please share if you have the answers
1. This feature, does it always update automatically? Or we can set it to do that only on Wifi, not on 3G? If so, How can I configure this?
2. Occasionally, the notification bar show "Market updates available" - is it the same thing? If not, How can I disable market do the upgrade check in background?
Thanks

1. When you install and application, and then click it again in the market, there will be an option to "Allow automatic updates"... you'll also see this option when Market detects an update is available.
2. Not the same thing... if it was automatically updating in the background, it would disappear from the notification bar... I'm pretty sure if you press Menu->Settings in market, there is an option to check for updates only while on Wifi.
About point 1... don't think I was very clear... I mean if I select the automatic update option, does that mean it will automatically update in background, regardless im on Wifi or 3G? Or it could be configure?
some one have an answer pls?
I would really like the auto update, but i don't have unlimited 3G package here in Vietnam (its really expensive for unlimited)
please someone know the answer pls

Don't worry you can configure that through market application...there is a tick box in every application were you can untick this and then you can update application when you want to
don't let it update automatically, i had it this morning; battery at 80% and noticed that it was downloading at gprs and 3g speeds(I bet it took him a few hours updating)
haven't had anything like that before, just since i'm on a different rom =/
Sadly I don't think you can control updates for the market online when on Wifi. If roaming data is very expensive for you I would suggest disabling it and only enable as and when you require it (hold down the power button and push "Data Network Mode" to activate/deactivate it)
thanks guys!
i have mine set to update automatically, as i have a 6GB data plan
so i'm not worry about the data usage
and it is AWESOME! everytime a new update is available it updates on its own
finally no more clicking update and clicking to confirm
Off topic but how much is data and phone calls in Vietnam? I'm interested in Vinafone
$3 = 300MB/month
call is about $0.05-$0.07/min
-> these are in country rates, not roaming.

[Q] HTC HD2 HTCMESSAGE.EXE GPRS question

Hi,
Newish to this forum but need big assistance!
I have several HTC HD2 which have a problem flashing up the message "There is a problem connecting to the GPRS service in your registered home network" when using any internet based application. We have several applications using the net on the phone so when there is no signal etc this message pops up quite often.
I know it is being caused by "HTCMESSAGE.EXE" from the process viewer in the task manager and am trying to disable it in the registry but can not find the entry.
I don't mind the connection dropping etc but the message could pop up over other applications making it unusable so it's crucial to disable it.
Any ideas anyone?
Many thanks in advance.
replace HTCMESSAGE.exe with a dummy exe like the one inlcuded and it will stop bugging you.
Note that this probably disables more than this single warning
see you
