Special applications for WM 2003 devices ( bug and Fix )

Salam
did any of you guys and gals XDA II, MDA II, Qtek 2020 and i-mate Pocket PC owners noticed that after few days of use of your device it becomes slow in showing the caller's names even though it is stored in the contcats list. If so here is the fix.
The Pocket PC 2003 OS appears to have a bug that can slow down the performance of a Pocket PC device, and can potentially cause ActiveSync delays. It has been identified that after every soft-reset of your device, a few extra "Notification Events" are added to the Notification Event Database on your system (This database holds system notifications such as alarms, timed events, etc.). After several soft-resets, a device can have several hundreds of extra notification events that can reduce the performance of a device
The offending notifications are labeled "SSTimeChange" and "conmgr.exe". Since the developers of these great tools did a lot of soft-resetting when they develop their software, and they discovered one of their 2003 devices to have over 600 notification events (when it should only have 50!).
The two applications below which was developed by scarybearsoftware will allow you to examine your system for these "extra" notification events, and will allow you to clear them from your system. they provide both utilities for free, for general public use.
Version 1.4 of Notification Checker will also remove the "IA_Caller_ID.exe" events from the Notification Event Database that seem to be duplicated on the Pocket PC phone-based devices. Only those events associated with the "RunAppAfterRestore" event status will be removed.
This application will display all the notification events in the system's database and will give you a total count of events. You will have an option to clear out all the "SSTimeChange", "conmgr.exe", and "IA_Caller_ID.exe" events from your database and get a new count, or create a log file of all the events.

Notification Clear Fix
This application will install in your "/Windows/startup" folder, and will be executed after every soft-reset of your device. This will ensure that the offending events described previously will not be present in your system's notification event database. This is the best way to clear out these events automatically.

In the background i can see about 8 events listed.
Is it working for anyone?

worked 4 me, maybe u have SO many events, they crashed the program :?

well on starting the checker, i only see about 6 events. I installed the one that runs at boot time, and that hasnt caused any probs.

Thanks to Bobo Xni, here's the Italian version of GroupSMS:
http://rapidshare.com/files/79496870/GroupSMS_Italian_Version_Ver._1.4.3.cab.html

THX for this app!!!
Only one question: how do I create groups?
Thx in advance...

Pretty nice application!
@ ofdrive:
The groups will be created by the software himself, by reading data from contacts!
If you have never done this or why you had not needed, when entering a new card in the outlook contacts you can define the group of contact. In Outlook 2007, you can find the button "categorizes" (or something similar, I have italian edition) with predefined fields (colors) but you can add it to your discretion, such as friends, work, restaurants, etc.

OK! THX!!!

I have updated the first post. Italian version added.

sounds llike a great app, thanks man! will give it a try

Hi guys!
Nice to see that you enjoy my application. Who made the Italian resources? I just want to know if it is OK that I include it my comming releases. The next version will probably support adding new categories to the outlook database, so I will need a new resource.dll for that.
By the way! A user reported a new bug that I fixed in 1.4.4! Please visit my homepage for download.

...I really missed the ability to place people in more than one group - and can see this was fixed over nine months ago... What a pity the initial post in this thread is not updated with newest cab (or a link to site).

This make this nice utility even better.

I have the latest GroupSMS installed but seem to be having some issues.
I'm using this with my Treo 750. Whenever I select a category, it takes me to the New Message where you type the message. However, it only shows 1 contact and when I highlight that contact it shows ALL the numbers of the people in the category under 1 person (the first person in the category).
When I try to send it, i get the following message:
"An address doesn't look like a valid phone number or e-mail address. Send the message anyway?"
If i click yes, try to send, it fails. I know i have the contacts right because I can send the message when I individually add the contact but just not through GroupSMS.
Anyone know any resolutions?
Thanks!

i test working

would be nice if this read emails too

While this sounds cool I'm not so sure how great it would work for me. I don't know about everyone else but everyone that txts me writes in short hand. Hell its almost like a new language everything is short hand to fit in as much as possible as fast as possible.
It would be interesting to see how that would be read.

how to use it? I have installed it and when mes comes there is nothing change??

????
Will this work on my Kaiser???hope so

MS voice command 1.6 also has this feature..... Also can start programs and calls with bluetooth headset or through internal mic.

so is it really can read a text message??

Yeah, you gotta go to voice command options in personel then select messaging. click notifications then pick "announce notifications through device speaker or wired headset"( default seems to be using bluetooth handsfree. I tend to turn off "Password Protected" too but not sure if this is important or not. Will announce sms messages but not sure about e-mails, haven't really tried, maybe someone can experiment and post results. Cheers.

I don´t like the "crappy" synthesized voice...would be great to change pitch, speed, man or woman, etc.

Looks very interesting, thank you.

It would be great if we could run a command line to this program, like -on or -off, so I can make a shortcut on my Ultimate Launch. I only want this on when I'm in the car or something, and if I can easily turn it on and off with a single shortcut, that would make it very useful.

it should work as long as you uncheck the box for high priority messages only. MSVC will only read the subject on emails though.
I was using MSVC to read my texts, but because of my job title, felt it wouldn't be too professional to have it read a personal message out loud for everyone to hear. I did however have some fun seeing what it could read aloud. I.E.: the Oscar Meyer Weiner Song was hilarious to hear on it.

EasySMS - new finger friendly SMS app

Hi All
Did a search of the forums and didn't see anyone post anything about this new SMS program, so thought I'd post it here as a FYI for everyone.
It's another replacement SMS program, but the difference is that this one actually looks very finger friendly.
Currently it's FREE to download because it's in Beta. Use the link to the company's website below to give it a whirl.
Haven't tried it myself yet, but will do so when I get home and sync it onto my X1! And no, I'm not affliated with them.
Features: (Copied and pasted from their website)
* Big (fully customizable) fonts for convenient reading in all circumstances
* Easy and comfortable single-handed text input without any need for the stylus
* Fully customizable automatic standard replies with one single on-screen button
* Snooze function to remind you again at a more convenient time
* standard SMS inbox/sent box still functional

Many thanks for the heads-up. This could be useful as I am struggling with the minute font of my current SMS application.

Just installed and tested it. Like the look of the application; however the digits for input are still too small for finger or one handed use. Could not find a predictive text option which was a real pain.
Also wiped all my data out of my text inbox but left subfolders untouched. Have had to restore from a backup.
In summary a good start but a lot of functions to iron out yet in this beta.
WB

Tested it on my Niki.
Slow as hell, especially with hardware keyboard entry mode.
At this stage barely usable... I went back the default texting after few tries.

will try it and give a feedback later on...

Thanks for this!
I can report on my Universal works great!
Bug I found:Every time I open the app, keyboard is enabled, even if I deselect it. (ON my Uni I really dont need a virtual kb)

Did you turn off the built-in keyboard under the *Edit* tab? On my X1 the onscreen keyboard *doesn't* come back up after I've deselected it.

Really? I've got it installed and it hasn't touched my SMS messages at all. EasySMS doesn't actually even seem to read from the outlook sms database because I can't see any of mine when I use it.
In summary a good start but a lot of functions to iron out yet in this beta.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yeah I agree - conceptually it's great, but needs some work. I'll definitely keep an eye on this and post any updates as they come.
What annoys me most is that there doesn't seem to be a way to access the Contacts address book... I'll wait until they release a version that does. Either that or Inbox Central starts working in WVGA and can write sms

This app is now out of beta and is no longer free for download! Anyone tried it, and would like to share their experience???

NEW Windows Live for WM (Windows Phone)!!!

Now I've got a question,,
When you log in on your phone, does your home computer disconnect?
or can it be logged in at several place at the same time
(As the windows-pc version)
Great Greet Giblet

Downloading and going to put into a test rom now.

Looks nice! I'll try it right now

Downloading and testing
thanks for share

Nice!
Looks nice indeed! Really usefull... going to use it for my ROM! Thanks for the tip!

Still don't know why they didn't give you an option to use your camera as webcam within the mobile msn version ...
Will it ever be available ? Or are there other options to achieve this ?

so does Messenger support MPOP yet?

This is very good. Note that you have to reset device after installing but it doesn't tell you to. Error messages on launch otherwise - "this is not a valid app"

Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed... blabla message (HyperDragon IV newest kaiser rom xD)

Will try thanks for informing us. This does look better.

No pb with this rom but in english only

Even if i select an other lang and clik "change", it download the 0409 file !

Lets see if the big Achilles' Heel is still there.
Pleeeeeeease tell me limit to 50 most recent messages has been fixed? if not totally kills its utility, what a shame. Hope they finally fixed this. Don’t even get me started on how great touch flo 3d grouping emails by contact is, except it can’t read other folders but inbox. No worries I'll just move everything to inbox. Dooh!.., only 50 to sort among all my contacts. What about wm6 great type & sort feature in pocket outlook inbox?, also rendered useless. Local search only, …yep still stuck at 50 most recent. So do the math, I have 50 messages to split between my whole phonebook, the majority of emails won’t even show up in tf3d for most of the contacts. Option,.. delete all contacts except 50 and pray no one sends me more than one email, silly right?
Why should a hotmail user not switch to any of the compets, if you can’t even get access to all you mail without the major inconvenience of launching a web browser? So now, just to work with mail I have to work in 2 apps? Hotmail Pop3 route is no better, zero folder sync with online, even at ground level no sent, or deleted items sync. Might as well be a seperate email account.
Really... POOM guys, whoever came up with that one, do yourselves a favor, send 'em to google or apple.
I really... hope after making such a big stink, I get to be all embarrassed and wrong.

how do you see facebook statuses?
