Just been thinking - is it possible to get the alerts/reminders/notifications that appear in the bottom bar when you hit the relevant icon in the upper bar, automatically ?
Its another bit of slightly-round-the-houses desing that means you have to hit the the icon to see what's going on. be very handy if this was possible via registry change.
any thoughts ?
Hear hear, tapping those notification icons at the top defeats the whole point of having a notification.
I really like that too. Don't like the actual system. I prefer the style of the old devices.
When an alarm is ringing, I grab the phone and before I can press the 'dismiss' or 'snooze' the dialog hides and I need to press 3 or more times to get it back.Its annoying
re
You can disable Touch3D
Search the forums for largetitlebar - then install it and disable large title bar - you will go back to the old setting
meaning u will lose previously installed colored title bars, etc?
But i'm willing to try it cause it is indeed annoying to click 3 times and than shutting it down.
but I cant seem to find the file do you perhaps have a link??

isn't that a standard option? goto settings\personal\sounds and change the settings for reminders to show notifications

Hear hear, when holding the phone on the hand, for me that have a small hand, it's difficult to reach with the thumb finger the top bar!! I have to slide a bit the phone on my hand to reach the top bar with only one hand.
That's probably the main reason to get that notifications display on the bottom bar, to do every steps easily only with one hand
the key being: "Display message on screen"

Does not work for 'New Text Message'
Hi, newbie here.
I am trying to get the Touch HD to come out of stand-by when a new text message arrives.
In my case, because I am deaf, I cannot hear any notifications. So i am reliant on the display lighting up (and vibration). I never had this problem with any of my previous devices.
However I do a lot of driving, and I have the phone on the windscreen, which makes the vibrate function ineffective. So, if anyone can assist in making text messages lighting up, I'd be really grateful.
Current settings as follows:
Play sound - yes (waitingtone - purely because it's the loudest tone I can hear)
Display message on screen - yes
Flash light for - 5 minutes (where does this happen?)
Vibrate - yes (better than my hearing anyway!)
Thanks in advance

There is a small flash light at the power button. I've set it up to flash forever in case of a missed call or a new sms. So, I don't have to turn on the screen to get this information.

It is a great application, I think that it is more better without moto-skin.
moto skin is only a skin....
the app that include this skin have MANY other things (SmartDial, some tweaks, NoData, bigger keys, etc...)
moreover,
u can change the skin using my "EtenSkin Patch" or make it yourself!

Will "Scenarios" work on HTC Touch / Windows Mobile 6? Thanks
This small pack installs, shows icon in Programs, allows me to select scenario, but shows no icon in taskbar and gives no notifications.
The full pack works for 90% but not with my favorite phone skin and does not give me smartdial. It does allow me to use the O2 smartdial that I normally use but the combination eats memory and the by O2 found contacts are being shown on top of the dial pad, quite ugly.
I would love to have the working scenario and notifications with no extras.
I'm using a Himalaya with the latest Helmi WM5 ROM.
Help would be very much appreciated.
BTW I'm still searching for a way to get audio notifications for missed calls after for example 10, 20, 30... minutes. A notification sound right after I missed a call in noisy Amsterdam is not very helpful.

Would love to have this feature too, for both missed calls and missed messages. Keep me posted should you found a solution. Thanks in advance
is there anyway to change the display wording font size?
it's too big and too ugly for me.
thanks.
EDIT:
Most of the problems in this post is SOLVED!
I have had my P3470 one day now, and I have to say I'm impressed. It's very quick in response, way more than my Qtek8310, which have the same CPU.
But, is it possible to get the kind of HOME where you have a "button" for changing profile?
Like this: (pic from a norwegian cruise)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
How do I even change profiles on a original P3470? I havn't found anywhere to change the tone-volume.
And, is it possible to get a keyboard like this: (from cruise)
I'll rather have this, cuz my P3470 qwerty-keyboard doesn't have a question mark! The cruize-qwerty seems to have more buttons when pressing shift.
And one more thing, in the quick-start menu, the one on the home-screen where you can have shortcuts to apps, why cant i have shortcuts to a contact, if i want to call that contact much, this would be very time saving.
I would also like to have some hints about a working reg-editor... cant get resco to work, and not PHM.
EDIT:
ALL, but the contacts on shortcuts-menu, SOLVED!
For adding contacts in the home screen you have to press the icon of the person (the pic with the little head and shoulders) and then press on one of the squares with the plus sign in it. Easy as pie! for removing contacts press on the square with the "x" in a circle and then tap on the square with the contact you want to remove.
enjoy!
Tone Volume Adjust
To adjust tone volume, U can just use 'volume button' on the left side. Push either of them => two vertical bars appear on screen. <note this have to do when you not on call>
- Left vertical bar on screen for key-tone, music...and others.
- Right vertical bar for Ring tone
Old problems gone, new problems are here! Weee...
When I get a new SMS, the phone beeps, and the phone unlocks. Why? Who in the name of someone thought that was a good idea?
Can I do something to make it be locked, even if I get a message?
same happens if you get a call.
the phone unlocks sofar that you can reply. so if you get a call when phone is locked screen goes on and you can react... but when you hang up the phone is locked again
easy as pie, cant believe you didnt notice that.
Yes, calls are OK. But when i get a SMS, i want it so that the phone is locked until I press the power-button. It is often I cannot read the SMS when I recieve it. But when I get a sms my phone is living in my pocket, because it ulocks.
Reminds you of Unread SMS or Missed Call Notifications.

Intervals for the alert is at 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 15 minutes.
The cab file will install the application in your \Program Files\OS Remind Me\ folder
Requirements:
WM5 - WM6.1 PPC
v1.2 changes:
- added vibra option
NOTE:
i used OpenNetCF API for the vibration. It calls on the Led notification of your device to cause the vibration. But not all devices have the same Led index to vibrate. So you have to click on the "Vibrate" menu item and see if your device vibrates. If not, increase the number shown by the textbox by increments of "1" then test the vibration again.
v1.1 changes:
- fixed reminder not playing when backlight is off
- changed UI
- user can now change the reminder sound through the application menu
To do:
- add option to remove tray icon
- add contacts' birthday reminder when application launches
Handy app. Thanks.
Bravo OldSap, that's a must-have feature, missing from standard Windows Mobile.
looks great!
privacy issue, sorry
Nice start - but it doesn't actually 'hide' when you select Hide. It just appears as an icon in the tray, taking up valuable today screen space. Can you give me an option to not display an icon?

Does vibrate work on every device? (does it go through that index?) I'm up to 76 on my i780 and still nothing...
super handy app though (thanks for making it )
It'd be handy to have the app autohide on start so we can use it as a startup app.
Great app, thanks!

Good job Oldsap
Hello
(I was the first person to put a message on your blog)
When I saw version 1.2 (with vibrating), I tested it right away.
Install is quick and the vibrating option was allready at "1" and working with a phonecall
Tested on ASUS P535 : WM6 with CF 2.0.7045.0
Just a little thing : is it possible to do something with the RAM usage ???
hey oldsap,
it looks great, question for you, your pda appears to be able to use two sims,
can you please tell me which pda are you using?
thanks,
@sudist: i think it's because of the images
@imatrix http://oldsap.blogspot.com/2008/04/hkc-g1000-dual-sim-wm6.html
Thanks,,,,
did not work after reset!
is it main that i have to hide aftter every restart?
is this possible
Hi oldsap,
Is it possible to have a shortcut with autohide, that we can place in the startup folder?
If you can see to reduce the ram usage
Tanks for your effort

Hello all
Just wanted to thank this community as a whole for all the great work they've done. I'm in love with my N1, rooted with CM and all the good stuff I found on this forum.
After tinkering around with my N1 for quite some time a potentially neat idea occurred to me (hope this is the right spot for it). I use my phone primarily for business use and general functionality. At the same time I tend to nitpick about ease-of-use, convenience and simplicity. My idea (alleging it doesn't already exist) is basically an advanced google calendar widget embedded into the notifications drop down. Obviously, this would turn primary use of the drop down into the said calender, but with the convenience to be able to pull it up in a second while allowing for more effective multi tasking.
I'm not a new to the developers world, but am as far as the Android OS goes. I was hoping a few experienced hands might see this as a nice little challenge. At the same time, for the willing, I would not mind at all attempting this challenge on my own (obviously with some much needed assistance ).
Sorry for the long post, and I look forward to hearing constructive feedback.
Thanks in advance!
Are you thinking more along the lines of something that lists upcoming events, or rather an actual calendar image? I'm not if the latter can be accomplished, but would definitely be willing to start working on something.

You could add a calendar shortcut to the dock using one of the new launchers...

That´s nice, thanx!
Thanks guy, I certainly appreciate all the responses and the warm welcome. Initially I wanted calender functionality inside the notifications drop down because it can be pulled up at anytime without having to switch to any other programs. Often times while writing emails I like to cross check my schedule mid proposal. Two applications/widgets I switch between are the "Pure Grid Calender" and the "Android Agenda Widget". I'm probably going too far here but this would be amazing: Upon touching the top bar initially, it switched to the notifications and the bar lowers a bit (all before actually sliding the menu down). If upon touching the bar, it slid down (that same amount) but with two options, one for notifications and one for calender. you could then slide your finger to the left or right to choose which drop down you want, and proceeded to slide it down and the chosen menu would then appear full screen.
This is probably impossible lol, i have a wild imagination. I can do a better mock-up after work with illustrations if indeed that was too wordy.

Ah I see. Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible to override/replace touching the status bar. You can put things in it, but having 'two' of them with left/right swipe I don't think is user-replaceable.
However, there ARE apps that let you put any shortcut you want in the Notifications Tray:
http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.miromind.bartenderlite/
http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.schwimmer.android.barcontrol/
I think your thinking of something along the lines of SBSettings for the iphone os?
@ paul Thank you for that information, if nothing else thats very useful.
@ zKilla: i am not familiar with iphone at all, i made the bold move to go straight into the world of android . But after doing some research that seems like it would be a great compromise.. only problem is if its even feasible to build into the N1
Also if any devs know where i could start poking my nose around, perhaps i figure this out on my own, lord knows itll take a few years tho ha
i want to hide this stupid option after last update
( tap here to fill the entire screen ) .
specially when i use Pworamp music.

Usually you click it once and it's gone for good.
Some apps still don't display correctly such as Microsoft Remote Desktop when you tap for entire screen.
Pretty annoying really
Add me to the list of people who find this really irritating! I get it on all my (Nova Launcher) home screens, and in a selection of apps (haven't figured out yet why some apps show it and others don't).
Subscribing to the thread in the hope that somebody will figure out a way to make it go away!
This is quite simple actually:
Go to Settings, then display, then full screen and then toggle all apps to full screen and, voila!

Yes, this is definitley annoying to be constantly there, and for video apps that aren't optimized for full screen. Like MLB At Bat games are shifted to the left side of the screen with one black bar on the right and it just looks weird. I'd rather have black bars on both sides or at least be able to stretch it out to full screen.

Add me too
So I am having this issue in Chrome which essentially gives you no back button when browsing. How stupid. So I just figured out that if I scroll to the bottom of a sight, sort of like the opposite of dragging a screen down to refresh, you drag it up from the bottom and you get a black semi circle thing show up. Click on it somehow while it appears and then you get the menu back, but it says double click the dot on the left to make it locked in.
And... it seems to have fixed it across all of my apps, not just Chrome! That's all I have for now.. hope it helps
