Annoying problem with Sounds & Notifications - Touch HD General

Hey, I have a problem with my incoming text message notification as well as the reminder notification.
No matter how many times i tap the 'Display message on screen' option it unchecks itself after a cerrtain time. same issue for the reminders.
Anyone else 'suffers' from the same symptoms ?

yes, i have the same problem, i guess its with the Dutty 2.1 extreme rom, also, i have strange problem where sometimes, the ringtone changes to some other then the one that we have set. and sometimes it doesnt ring as well.
any help?

Haven't experienced the ringtone changing, but the problem with the ringtone sometimes not ringing is a well documented bug with no fix as yet. Strangely it appears to happen mostly with Duttys 2.1 inc MSVC and not Dutts V2.1 WITHOUT MSVC. If you read the thread on Duttys V2.1 you will see this.
V2.2 is due for release soon and hopefully this bug will be fixed.

I'm using the original ROM and have the problem

I have the problem too, with the original ROM.

Is there a solution ? with mortscript?

Great , Thanks, wow, 2.2 is due, man, i need to do something as i want new roms but cannot afford installing all softwares and doing settings. any way around for it, as i usually install some usefull software, backup sms and restore and its a 4-5 hours process. any method you know using which i can just dump all my settings on the new rom . contacts emails are quick as i use exchange 2007, so they are synced pretty fast.
but what about settings like Advance Config, and Xt9 words , and IE and Opera Favourites etc. please help me for this.
Thanks Rikin

There are different ways of doing this. You can use PIM, SPB Backup or Sprite
In future instead of working hard to reinstall everything, why not just use a backup program like SPB Backup 2 or Sprite.
SPB Backup & Sprite are basically the same. You can use either of these to backup all your settings, including programs, ringtones, contacts etc, then if any problems materialise or you hard reset you use the backup file created to restore to your previous settings.
I have been advised by noris08 that when flashing to a new ROM each of them may have some issues and when you restore the apps, some of them will not work and some will generate some new conflicts
This issue has been explained before but either in this forum or somewhere else.
Another option is to backup personal things with PIM and to reinstall all apps from scratch

You can also check out SASHIMI. After the initial input, it's amazing how easy it is. I just came accross it and I'm still trying it out, but it seems to do the trick atm.

i install my programmes to the storage card, then use total commander after a rom install to create short cut links to programme folder, (although only installed one rom so far, and happy with it, so dunno if this would casue problems with other roms?)
i was worried about re-installing all progs, but took couple mins to create the shortcuts, much happier

No more notifications or reminders

I have an O2 xda Neo (PM300) running Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PC.
All of a sudden I noticed I no longer receive notifications or reminders of appointments or tasks on my "today" page nor any audible sounds. Even though I have:
1. Enabled sounds for reminders in "sounds & Notifications"
2.checked the "display message on screen" and "play sound" boxes in the "notifications" submenu
3.Checked the "set reminders for new items" box in the "appointments" sub menu in "options" in "calendar" (and done the same for "tasks"
My clock is correct. I have soft reset the unit a few times, I have set sample appt's and tasks and attempted to set a reminder for 5 minutes prior just to test and still nothing...
It was working fine upto maybe a couple weeks ago and just stopped working one day. I am at a loss, as the sheduling/task/appoitntment aspect is the main reason for me going the pocket pc route.
Now, I have no advance warning of tasks or appt's other than the calendar displaying the next few or so the day of or day before.
Very frustrating!
Look for Check Notifications ScaryBear Software. This program might be you solution
I had the same problem this week.
In my case it was either the (failed) installation of pocket clock or pocket max phone alarm that did it.
I loaded a previous week's sprite back-up (program part only) and that fixed the problem. I have not tried to reinstall pocket max phone alarm.
Will not reinstall pocket clock because that did not work anyways.

I sync'd my data, did a hard memory reset, deleted that ActiveSync partnership,created a new partnership, sync'd all my data back onto my handheld and it seems to be working again!
Thanks for your suggestions!

I have exactly the same problem - but unfortunately cannot remember when it showed up the first time. I do not want to try a hard reset, also checking pocketmax seems that they only advise to do a lot of reinstallations. And I worry the problem will show up again later as I want to continue using phone alarm. I rather would like to change registry entries.
- Anybody has some idea what to change?
- I found an empty string value WAVEFILE in HKKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\calendar\reminder - can anybody tell me their value here
- same empty value is in HKKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Tasks\reminder
Thanks Hase01
I had the exact same problem 2 weeks ago on my JAMin - suddenly noticed that I had not been receiving reminders/notifications.
I had not installed any new software, etc., to cause this, I had simply been using the PDA in the same manner as for the preceeding weeks/months.
Hase01, unfortunately the way I fixed it was with a hard reset. Why do you not want to try this? I found that once the reset had been done, it took all of 5-10 minutes to reload all the files and to reinstall the software I had previously been running. It's not that big a deal......

I am not a friend of hard resets, that's why I am hesitating. And I am not sure how far I have to go back, as I was in vacation for some time and only afterwards started missing the reminders.
Could you do me a favor and let me know your registry settings for
- HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Reminders
- HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Sounds
- HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Defaults
Do you use phone alarm?
Thanks in advance

Just download my Free Task Manager found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280104
1) Launch it on your pocket pc
2) Select Notifications tab
3) First try to remove duplicates
4) Try to remove SCRIPT:0x000...
If it still doesn't work, select all of them and disable them.
Do a soft reset and create a new notification, if it works, I suggest you to enable only the necessary notifications, so those like:
CALENDAR.EXE
\Windows\calupd.exe
replog.exe
calnot.exe
clocknot.exe
and delete all [none] notifications
Cheers,

Glad to hear that... Anyway, this is another solution that works.
One of my colleagues had the same problem, about 570 notifications. We tried first to remove duplicates and SCRIP:0x000 events, but the problem remained.
After the remove he still had more than 400 notifications. So I selected them all and disabled them via TM. After soft reset we created a test notification and it worked. So as I mentioned in my previous post, we enabled back the needed notifications and we removed the rest. Now everything is fine.
I have noticed that most of the time, this problem appears when you synchronize your calendar with multiple pc's.

The smart thing with the alarmtoday solution was that I did not need to take care about notifications, deletions etc. I just installed AT and all notifications came back. And btw, I usually sync only with one PC, seem to be a WM5 problem.

I was not lucky - while replying to this post the problem came back again after 3 months. My Alarm today fix did not work again. Before I tried your task manager I checked my notification queue with sk-Tools: I don't have too many notifications. So - any Idea what I can do instead.

I was almost in my bed!
1) Try to disable all notifications (don't worry, they are stored in the registry, so you won't lose any of them, except if you do a hard reset, or delete the reg entries).
2) Soft reset and make a test
3) if it works, just enable the notifications as mentioned in my first post until the problem is back (or not).

May be I have to install your task manager, sk-tools is not able to disable notifications, only delete is possible. Do you think this might help, I won't be able to install you tm before the weekend? I don't have duplicate entries and no SCRIPT:0x000.. entries.

By disabling all entries, it's like cleaning the notifications database. So it will surely solve your problem (temporary anyway).

I tried to use you TM on my WM2003 SE ppc as I always do before I run a new program on my Qtek S200 (it's nearly impossible to deinstall a program only manual deletion of all files works). Unfortunately it does not run on my IPAQ. It starts but dies after 0.5 secs. Did you ever had this problem?

You're not the first one telling me this. I don't know why it doesn't work on IPAQ with WM2003SE.
But, you can launch it on your Qtek s200 without any doubt. I already tested it myself on Qtek 2020, 9090, 9100, Mitac Scoter A701 and HTC P3600 without any problem found.

I got the notifications back. I think it was basically repaired by installing alarmtoday again from backup. I think the problem could have been caused by the new sktools version. Strange.
B.t.w. do you need a beta tester for oyur TM on IPAQ. Then just sent me a pm
Hase
Ok. I have the same problem recently.. unsure what is the problem, but it seems that softreset *cause* (not solve) the problem, some what.. during my testing.
Anyway, I tried a few solutions listed, and the easy one is to use the TaskManager (freeware) to find the notification with 'Status' is in 'signalled'. These are passed notifications and it seems that these are causing the problem. As soon as I've removed them, the problem seems to have solved.
Then, I tested it again, by removing the 'Init_tray' from the startup and do a softreset. I tried it again, and it doesn't work. I check again on Task Manager, those 'signalled' stuff are back.

alternative calendar software?

is there any software which can totally replace the windows mobile 6 calendar / notes system?
as the calendar/notes etc installed on my phone currently never save when trying to add a new one
TIA
why doesn't the informations save? most programs seem to still use the pim information and re-organize it...todayagenda is a good one, imo.

I second today agenda. But it will not resolve your issue. Neither will other software.
1. What Rom and device do you use?
(i know it's the wizard forum but these days you never know)
2. Have you performed a clear storage?
3. Have you tried a clear storage and then exiting when the customisation starts?
4. .............................
i changed to a different rom and the calendar now works ok

Have you notified the Chef of the ROM build about the calendar issue?
SPB Diary is another brilliant tool for diary, notes, tasks etc...
yeah i tried spb diary but it still wouldnt save any new items
ive posted the problem in the chefs thread but no one replied and also the thread didnt have anyone else mention it so i assumed it was a issue relating to my device or flash but i find the rom i have now works flawlessly so all good
That's why myself i'm sticking with NBD Rom from Zoki.
He reads the thread and regularly updates.
Enjoy you new ROM, but it's still weird that it didnt interact with the calendar.

[SOLVED] phone bug with miri 1.2 and dutty

After flashed Dutty Miri or restored only contacts the service MyPhone pimbackup. Send or receive a phone call from people fav the phone goes crazy: I can not open dialer, the phone does not react to incoming calls and exit from standby is slow. sometimes by pressing a hbutton from standby only LEDs are activated and I have to hold endkey for 2 seconds to reactivate the HD2.
To restore the phone function must Softreset.
One way to reproduce it is to make a call from a fav people number and answer on hd2, hang up and quickly and hang up on HD2 too.
Please someone can do tests to find out what is wrong?
I hope I made myself understood, despite my English
New build have issue with Sandisk 8gb ! now with a kingstone all work, and the sandisk works in my hd.
Format dont solve,hw issue!
My phone work fine in 2 roms but I like dutty rom.
yesterday i flashed the miri 1.2
i will let you know after some use
Not being rude, but you will get a better chance and better answer from posting in Miri's or Dutty's Thread. This is after all where you downloaded it from, and more users of that ROM will follow that thread.
There are some times probs when restoring backed-up data with some 3rd party programs, that's why I strongly advice you to back up everything you need/want with activesync and outlook plug-ins. In this case you will never have probs again no matter what rom you are using!!!
Hope that helped you
cheers

restore contacts via outlook activesync!try syncing you contacts with outlook and make a hard reset and then activesync and restore contacts via outlook.
Can you keep discussions about particular roms in that roms thread please?
it's like someone coming to your house for dinner, then them suddenly running out into the street shouting to the neighbours that you left a bone in the fish or something..
It's a bit rude behaviour..

cprog.exe bug?
ok, the problem is related to cprog(is it the phone application?)
just plaing with call(like make a call, hang up quikly and press the green send button on screen) make impossible to open dialer since softreset.
also Xannytech 1.1
I tried XannyTech 1.1 and same issue,just typing number randomly on dialpad and it freeze, other app works, but the dialer stop working and phone don't react at incoming calls.
Is it possible that is a bad flash of hspl?

best backup

hey im going to flash my rom to the latest one stated on the HTC website.
i have a HTC HD2 and i was wondering what one out of all the WM back up software there is out there is best and will back up the most..
what im really looking for is one similar to the symbian one by nokia where it restores your phone exactly how it was including settings and programs.
i know there is Sashimi, spb backup, Sprite backup, SKTools, PimBackup, spb clone, Resco Backup.
i have loads of reg tweaks and modified files and would like them to be restored after my rom update.
i know that sprite will not allow you to restore after an upgrade the rom..
spb clone looks good but not sure if it work and don't want to buy it if it dose not do what i want..
thanks

The best thing to do if your flashing a new rom is to re-install all programs/tweaks. do not restore them after flashing. Restoring is only ok as a back up on the same rom if you for example messed up something & had to Hard reset.
Although you can backup & restore yor PIM data & messages with any of the apps you mentioned. I pesronaly use SPB Back up.
What about favorites, and email settings, ring tones.. or registered apps?

Favorites ok.
The rest not recommended.
will any of the above software enable me to reinstall purchased software (like items from the marketplace)? otherwise i don't see how to do it.
I use Microsoft MyPhone
Does contacts/messages/pictures/documents... does not do applications - but if you've got a large enough SD Card you can just keep a back up of the cab files you've installed in a folder (that's what I do anyway).
With the registry - why not make a back up of the registry and pop it into the backup folder or something?
yeah i like Microsofts MyPhone, its realy handy and with free data i sync up every morning.
with programs i just try to install as much as i can on my micro SD card and with the new markedplace version you can default that nice one.
registry tweaks is not that bad to restore for me, so not a problem here
Phattypab,
A 2 second search of this forum got me this...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633387&highlight=backup

PIM backup? you can add as much or as little to backup.
TBH settings and configs are relatively pointless. If you only have a couple or so email accounts then it is little trouble - especially with nice HD2 keyboard.
I know it's nice to have it all setup, but just write down a list of the things you have to do - hopefully you will not be flashing all that often - and things can go wrong if you try to apply a bad registry setting or general setting.
STill, back it all up then selectively restore is another option. Bit by bit until it messes up.
Messages+contacts are key IMO. everything else is not critical, especially if you keep cabs and use Tom's auto-install.

Registry backup across a ROM flash is definitely not a good idea.
Hi guys, I wonder if SPB backup's "full backup" also backups the softwares that are installed on storage card?

Htc slowing down

I have had my HTC for 1 week now and it has started to slow down has any one had any experience with this problem, I also have noticed my weather location is not working properly I dont know why I would appriciate it if some one can help.
-Metta
I assume you are using stock rom?
Sometimes slowdown could be due to installation of a software. Try to think of any software that might cause the slowdown.
But I think slowdown is unavoidable for most electronic devices, a month old laptop can never be compared to a same but new one.
If you wish, you can consider trying out some custom roms. They generally has better performance compared stock roms. Less junks and faster.

Thanks for the reply how do I go about getting new ROMS. Would this wipe all the stuff I have on it atm? I mean everything from Wi-Fi internet to all apps and tools? If I install a ROM and don't like it what do I do then.

Installing a new ROM will remove all the stuff on phone memory. It's just like reformating a pc. If you don't like the rom, you can always try another rom.
There are plenty of stuff you need to know first before flashing a rom.
If you are new to this, make sure you read alot before doing anything to your phone. Everything you need to know can be found in the ROm Development section.

Installing a new ROM will remove all the stuff on phone memory. It's just like reformating a pc. If you don't like the rom, you can always try another rom.
There are plenty of stuff you need to know first before flashing a rom.

I'd recommend the Leopard 6.5.5 ROM, once you enter PIN, after that it's instantly usable, been using it for a few months now, constantly amazes me.
1) try to think if you really need the application before you will install it. Most of the apps leave lots of garbage after you uninstall them, so the phone is getting slower and slower.
2) use the program like cleanRAM
3) there is no "the ultimate ROM" - try a few - if you dont like particular one - try another. Just do not fall into the 'ROM changing addiction'
4) there is the difference between 6.5 and 6.5.x. If you used the stock ROM only, and you are used to have "Start" on top then (with 6.5.x) you will fill odd having the start on bottom - dont worry - you will use to that

What is Clean ram?

its a program that clears all apps running in background and uses the free RAM for quicker processing.
also, I would recommend you to use a task manager in order to actually close applications after your donee using them instead off just minimizing them. because if you were like me when I first got my phone, I was so used to the iphone/android lack of multitasking, that I would always just push the home button to exit out of apps.however windows leaves them running in the background which causes a lotof slowdowns.
slowing down....confusing?
hi every body....
i've in some how the same problem...i mean the slowing down...
but i think the word i use is a little incorrect...because my phone works fast,and well but for example sometimes when i go to mesages, for a few seconds it slows down in changing messeges and then again works as fast as possible...or as an other example some times this happens in my contact list or my home screen...esp. when the weather is cloudy and lots of clouds are moving in my home screen
but i think the overall perfomance of my phone is still like the begining day...
i thought that the problem is due to some programs that i have installed like showcase task manager or touch x power but i removed them and still some times esp. in my home screen i have the problem!?
and by the way i''m using stock rom,WM 6.5 1.66.707 WWE and í've bought my HD2 about a week ago...
i'll be glad if any one knows about how the problem could be solved?!...or even to say that it's a problem or not!?...tnx
same here
yeah i've barely had the phone about two weeks and within the first three days it started slowing down. ESPECIALLY in the messages, and even more when i had the swype text input so i took that off. and at times i wouldnt even recieve the message. my phone's screen would light up as if i was about to get a message and i checked nothing was there but my friends told me they texted me and apparently i didnt receive. i want to try a new rom. but i really dont understand what cab files, tweaks, and things of that sort are. i've rooted my g1 before but never messed with a windows phone
Yeah this is really starting annoy me, I don't want to install a new ROM as I don't understand them but I want my phone back up to speed. Need more ideas please

Use SPB backup. Make backup of your phone put it on your memory card. Then preform a hardreset.

Do you mean that thiswill backup evergthing on phone memory, will this include my contacts.
Well i dont exactly now but for sure all your programs. Sms and contacts can you backup with MyPhone or copy contacts to simcard or synchronize them with outlook.
Edit I investogated a little bit spb backup also backups contacts, sms and email. so only spb nacup should be enough.

Well it is simple you make a complete backup with spb backup. Then do hardreset and your done .
PS: Sorry for my bad text input typing on a phone is still not the same as a keyboard
There's no need for any hard resets. Connect your phone to a PC and check out how much free space your device (NOT the SD card) has left. If it's below 30, then there's your problem. Just use cleartemp and cleanram, move games and other apps from the phone memory to the card, and you should be ok. If the problems still persist, then I strongly advise you to flash a new ROM and see if things get any better. Peace!
