How can I set my phone to notify me (vibrate or tone) when I receive hotmail or an IM with Pocket MSN?

u cant u have to be online to get your mail

technically, you could ping your hotmail account and display a notifier if you've got a new mail. But as musiccube says, you'd have to be online.

Frequently, almost daily my phone will say that it has a cellular signal (cingular) but I am unable to make or receive a call. I must soft reset to use the phone. Any reason why this is happening? Is there a fix?

Missing miniSD
I have a dopod 838 [aka WIZA 100]. I was fiddling with my device today and I noticed in Resco Explorer that my miniSD card was missing [I checked the slot and it was inserted] I look at it thru Explorer via Activesync and the miniSD was not there also. I did a soft reset and it came back. Has anyone else experienced a problem like this? I have a 1GB miniSD from SanDisk.

some contacts don't sync
I can't Activesync some contacts with Outlook. The problem seems to be only related to contacts with a note in Outlook. Removing the note doesn't help, I have to manually copy all the details without the note, then the new contact is synchronized.
Help! Help!
What I got:
Qtek 9100
Activesync 4.1
Office 2003

ActiveSync
When I connect the Wizard to my XP SP2 machine, AcitveSync starts with connecting, but somehow it keeps saying: "connecting" but it just won't become 'connected'?

I am also experiencing this from time to time, and this is what I do when it is happening.
Disconnect sync cable. Close all running apps on the pda. (I use an app called InClose) Connect sync cable again and I am connected.
Hope that this works for you too!

as far as i know there is no Answering system works with wm2003
so i think the problem regarding the answering machine has been solved in WM5 but there is no individual application to enable answering system on other wm5 phone edition PPC's like Prophet, is there any answering program like the one used in i-teq?
please introduce it if you any.
here is screen shot of i-teq bond

lover - this is a specific software and hardware solution provided by Gigabyte. It's not a generic WM5 solution.
Have a read around the board on why that might be the case.

The overdub could be awesome too.
"If you don't feel like talking to a particular individual (i.e. annoying friend, boss, spouse, or debt collector) and need a digital alibi, the Background Effects feature adds a looping ambience of being in a car, airplane, concert, meeting, movie theater, and more."

As I stated before, Gigabyte added some really neat functions, especially to the phone portion of the device. For starters, they've included answering machine software!

so i think this is a software which is in ROM and there is no hardware added, ithink so.
it would be great if some one get that software from the original ROM.
thanks for sharing

lover: I'm inclined to disagree. I've tried the app on the Magician, Universal and Mio A701. No joy.
The attached, ripped from the ROM, may require other associated files, but I've tried the whole ROM in its complete form. It appears to be non English, so I may be reading it wrong, but let me know if you have any luck.

than you very much but
it didnt work on my JAMin., does any one knows which company is the developer of this software?

Maybe I'm missing something here, but can someone enlighten me as to why you would want an answering machine on your phone when your mobile phone carrier already supplies you with that service? Just want to make sure I'm not missing out on any features here.

i dun think its just a software api that does this answering machine..
most likely to be a hardware inside the phone that is not present in other phones.

It is just a software!
There is a rom (2.03 Beta TofClock Himalaya) and it has this answering machine...

bepe: I think that's specific to the Himalaya. Because of the way the modem works on PocketPC phones, not all (in fact, it seems, very few) have the audio path accessible by the device itself for two way recording.
Have a read through here. If you've had any sucess, please post:

To pay $ 18.95 for an app that you can do for FREE? I've reported about a long ago (it's REALLY worth following my blog ) - I'd certainly prefer it to this one.

hope anyone can make it work, this will be great

Just my two cents...
I don't think the software won't work on any device other than g-Smart range, it's to do with the hardware of the phone, not WM5. Without this hardware I believe it is impossible to record both sides of the conversation without some massive application, which will probably (a) slow the ppc right down, as will need to be integrated into the OS, and (b) not be that cheap either.
Regards.

just a quick qn.. if i want to try on my hermes, how to i 'install' it?
do i need to tweak any registry settings?
thanks

that would be a great app i think!! i'm on pay as you go and orange charge 10p per min to retieve voicemail!! would be super if the phone itself took over and saved an mp3 or something to the memory card!!! no charges!!
come on!!! some make or find it!!!

Slacker Radio from leaked TMO HD2

I found this over at PPCGeeks, finally be able to get rid of Pandora and its crappy UI =D. But I'm getting weird graphic glitch by the song titles, everything else seems to work well though. Maybe compatibility issue with 6.5.5 can someone try it out with 6.5 rom and see if you have the same issue?
Soft reset after install.
latest version here

just tried it. everything seems fine with me. using 6.5

no. i just created an account within the app and that was it. works fine, except for the stupid 6 skips per hour limit (like pandora has).
if you want more features, you can upgrade, but the basic features are free and all you really need are basic features... unless you want to look at lyrics or something.

I might just reflash to 6.5, the bottom start button must be causing the graphic overlap. You can get around the 6 skips per hour thing by just changing station and change it back instead of using the skip button, couple of extra steps but hey it's free.

Sweet! Thanks. Seems to work fine on my tmo tp2 with tmo 6.5. Kinda slow when you launch a station. But still cool.

thanks working fine on my t-mobile tp2 with stock 6.5 upgrade

can someone post some screen shots?

thanks for the post

THANK YOU!!!!!! Works good on sprint TP2 running feb 7 23xxx Energy Rom
I see what you mean by graphical glitch it is kind of annoying but I'm loving this and who know maybe someone out there will rip it apart and put it back together for 6.5.x. It's still totally usable! I'm going to assume that I would have to upgrade in order to have favorites or make custom stations.
I just wonder why it's like that I have would have enough room if the pause,skip,etc would just slide down a few millimeters....oh well
Thanks again for putting this up!
Weird after going to the slacker radio website I couldn't even find anything for a windows mobile phone but whatever I just came back to report that if you go to the site you can put together custom stations!!!!! F88K Yeah!!! Better than pandora!!!

The graphic glitch is there probably because start and softkeys are bigger in 6.5.x so it's pushing up on the program, it looks perfect in 6.5 though according to those screenshots posted earlier.

I figured that much but there is still space there. Not a big deal. This will push pandora to the side. (For me at least) It is just so much more finger friendly and sounds great!
This was the first I even heard of this. I read about the ebook earlier in the week but this was never talked about. I would think this would be a big deal because if you go to slacker radio . com there is no option for ANY type of windows mobile phone...either way a very good find.

this is so awesome
thank god for this, it blows pandora away. great UI, great sound quality, and all the info on the band. it is so great. everyone needs this for their tp2.
tp2 needs more apps like this!!!!

Just wanted to report back from a QVGA device. I can login with my Slacker account just fine and station selection is actually usable. The Now Playing screen cuts off all the player controls and most of the artwork, so you can't actually skip or pause music, but if that doesn't concern you then it works pretty well.
Its probably wishful thinking, but I don't suppose there's any way someone could hack this up for proper qvga?

I can not get is to skip on touch pro
Any touch pro users that have used the app and can make it skip the songs?

Works with Sprint tp2 stock rom
Just want to report that it's working perfectly on sprint 6.1 stock rom tp2. Sound quality is real good and the next song connects faster than pandora. Only problem right now is this 6 songs skip limitation. I don't think i will be using pandora anymore. Thanks bobafuzz.

Installed on Sprint TP and player controls are cut off. No way to skip, pause, etc. Plays music well though... Can't wait for a fixed version on VGA.

Q
GOODBYE PANDORA!
Looks like I finally understand why Blackberry users had it so good with Slacker Radio, but no more. WM is in the game and we got Slacker Radio just as good as the rest of you.

I was also kind of "fuzzed" by that when I tried wifi tether on MCR, also that it doesn't work is a fairly known problem.

It works fully 100%, it's been confirmed numerous times. So problem is on your side, bud
What do you mean Desire can't see it? You have two Desires laying side by side?

Yeah, I am at work with my colleagues around me (iPhone, iPhone, Desire and HD2) and the iPhones can see the wireless network and connect to it, whereas the Desire and HD2 cannot even pick it up.
If some phones can see it and others can't what do you think the issue is?

I know that the desire cannot see ad-hoc networks which this method is based on, explains the Desire but I dunno about the HD2.
Froyo's wifi tethering works in master mode though which is lovely and will work on all wifi devices.

I have a question : what type of wifi network is wifi-tether ? adhoc or infrastructure ? Does the phone act as an access point ?
Actually, it is not working a perfectly as it could. My laptop computer sees it as an "unsecured" network although WEP 128bits is enabled and password set. (and it's not a bug from the computer, there are other WEP secured networks available in the area which windows see as "WEP")

Read my post above, it's ad-hoc. WEP seems to work perfectly here.

Long GPS lock time [Solution?]

Hi all xda folks
I am starting this thread because I thing there is no proper solution to long gps fix time problem. I want to share my observation with a hope of helping solve this little prob. In most other ways our android port is solid and in my opinion comparable with most native android devices.
Now to avoid people saying that I just didn't search the forum I'm aware of partial solutions like :
1) Using Gps status app to download A-Gps data
2) Using WM QuickGps to download gps data using WM
3) Switching to proper gps region using gps.conf
...
Now I would like to sugest (from my point of view of humble user;-) )possible solutions for the devs but don't get me wrong I don't mean it to offense anyone.
I'm not a dev just trying to help.
1) Write something what does exactly that thing what QuickGPS does just to do it from Android environment
//Cause right after QuickGPS download fix times are minimal
//This would be enough fix for me ;-)
2) Find out what is wrong with current gps drver or any a-gps or any things helping to get faster fixes
To the second point a have an observation I wanted to share. When using GPS Test app to get fix on HD2 you don't see the signal strength bars before you get fixed. But as I saw on Desire the bars show up immediately and just change color when you get to the fix. But its just a hint. I don't know if it does mean anything.

in my experience its build specific.
every desire build I've used (currently m-deejay's revolution) has the gps issue.
Cyanogen Builds do not (currently using michyprima's Everyday Builds).

pretty much

Cyanogen builds can have the issue too, I've had major problems on shubcraft and very slow locking on hyperdroid.
The main problem is that Android can't write data to the gps chip yet, which is necessary to be able to use the 'a' from aGPS. (That's exactly what QuickGPS does, and because it's written to the gps chip, Android can access it but not update it.)
So unless someone manages to give Android write access, I don't think there's a whole lot we can do, except for the known gps.conf and libgps tricks.

And that would easily explain why it works in WinMo...but does not clearly explain why some users have quick lock in Android (I am not one..mine takes 3-5 minutes sometimes).

I'm not too sure either, but I think it may be because of QuickGPS too. I noticed there's an option to enable gps data download whenever activesync is enabled. Most people boot bank into WinMo for installing a new build, kernel or whatever, and would that way actually run QuickGPS at least once every week. But I'm by no means an expert, this is just what seems to me a plausible explanation.

I thought quickgps "just" go to internet, and download the satellites positions into a text file? If you don't do that on wm the first gps lock is slow, the second on a same period is quick because the phone now knows where they are. Too bad android can't so that for now, maybe with gingerbread...

So please can someone of you who say that its build specific post the build and kernel with which it is working you get fix in less then lets say 15 secs?
Thanx

First part is true, problem is that WinMo can store these files on the gps chip, Android can't. Android can only read data from this chip, hence QuickGPS being a valid fix.
Android can of course do this, we just can't on our HD2, so gingerbread ain't gonna fix any of that.

I believe I've had it fixed in shubcraft 2.0, JDMS 1.6 did a pretty good job too. Might've been total coincidence though, I'm still not sure if any of this is build related.

Today I asked on #htc-linux and it seem that devs don't see the problem I spoke with markinus and he told me that he has fix in about 4 sec. So maybe it is not kernel problem.

I still have huge problems with GPS. Doesn't matter what ROM or radio I use it doesn't lock, or lock after 1-5 min. Outside or inside doesn't change anything. It's not a problem with week signal, my friend with HTC wildfire get it within seconds sitting next to me. I use kwbr rom with 2.15 radio.

I find this pretty strange.
With quickgps you have to download the data, you really see a progress when downloading, and the file goes to the windows directoy. xtra.bin is the filename.
If you remove that file and reboot the phone you have to wait a long time to get a gps fix again.
In Android you have no clue if it downloads it, and where does it go? Try to do a search on that file. I got 0 results so I actually wonder where it is and even if it works?
