Hi have have a problem with my Bluetooth ICON not being in the task bar (bottom right), I have norrowed it down to be a today plug in called PocketBreeze (One of the best pices of software I have found for the Pocket PC, take a look: http://www.sbsh.net/products/pocketbreeze/)
It does work 100% on a few friends XDA II's but not on mine.. I have done a hard reset and all. A few people are having this problem, I have spoken to the developer and he is trying to find a way to fix this problem... Does any one know what it might be or how to fix it?
This is what I have found:
Basically if the device is booted up with PocketBreeze loaded I do not get a Bluetooth Icon on the bottom right of my screen, If PocketBreeze is disable when loading the OS I do get the Bluetooth Icon loaded. (once the OS has loaded up I can then load PocketBreeze with no problems works 100% with Bluetooth Icon)
Regards
Fudge!
No one has any ideas as to why the Bluetooth Icon would disapeer? could it be some sort of loading order problem or somthing like that? is there a way to try and change this? E.g. if PocketBreeze is loaded before Bluetooth in the registory could I rename PocketBreeze to say ZPocketBreeze so it might load last or somthing like that????
Regards
Fudge!
RE
HI,
FYI, I do not have this problem in using PocketBreeze.
i have b4 , my solution just import the my old REG FILE, may be another expert can point out where is value .
Hi Guys thanks for the reply, I have some friends that have not had this problem and some that have. I have been unable to work out what trigers it to happen as yet...
Has any one found that Reg entry that ttt340 mentioned?
Any help is appreciated!
Regards
Fudge!
Hi there,
I don't use pocket breeze but I have the same problem with PI Today from Deje. When this Today plugin is installed, I loose my Bluetooth icon on the Today screen. I had some support mails from the developer but he couldn't solve it.
Somebody suggested that there were too many in the Todayscreen but removing items there (even in the registry) didn't do the trick.
Teguru from tekguru.co.uk came with a handy sollution:
PocketZenPhone which is freeware. It is a plugin for the Today Screen with phone profiles. You can make a profile with bluetooth on. It works great! You can find the PocketZenPhone here on this forum (it has a thread of 102 pages!)

thanks for the reply wouterk, I also got told about the to many things on the today screen but it also did not fix the problem.
Thanks for the sujestion about the extra today plugin that could fix the problem but I might wait and see if any one else has any ideas as every today plugin I add makes my Pocket Breeze smaller and smaller :-(... Never enough room... LOL
Many thanks!
Fudge!
Ok fudgebottom,
You're welcom.
I must say I'm very happy with PocketZenPhone but you're right that the today screen is always too small! :lol:

Just updated to the 217 cingular rom, wondering about an alternative to the 2 line Date format that is now taking up much needed space on today.
Anyone removed it and used a seperate program or something?
Love to hear ideas. Cant stand that the time isnt in the darn bar!

There are two apps developed on this forum:
One by Levenum, with the capability to show only the time in the taskbar (overlay) see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=45084
another by ei99070, see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=45742
Just tested the app from ei99070 and it's fantastic, works great HIGHLY configurable, a whole lot better then the standard Today Date plug-in!
Ok, this is what i want.
I have my default today screen with all my plugins running. At the top(or side) must be tabs (somethings like spdpocketplus) to more than one today screen. Lets say TodayTab1 displays my System monitor and weather, TodayTab2 displays my RSS and Blogs and shedule and TodayTab3 displays my Mail Boxes and Sms's.
But spb pocket plus doesnt support this tipe of tabs or does it? Is it possible?

I use wisbar advance desktop that allows multiple desktops and speeds up the device by putting only one or two plugins on each desktop. Also allows text tabs to link you to each of the other desktops.

Look up JGUI.

Some days ago I was looking for a good today calendar plugin and got some answers from the forum, I'm still trying them but in a trial I found that Pocket Breeze (from SBSH) in it current version can actually do what you want.
This software allows to have TABS with diferent info in each one...calendar, task, notes, messages... and also, you can add your customs tabs including on it any today pluginn you have installed; that way yo can have a TAB with the weather info, or any other app you can view on the normal today screen; even the spb pocketplus you have can be view in one of the TABS if you want...
You can download a trial version of the software before buy it in order to see if that is what you are looking for...so far now I have not have any problem of performance using it..
Best regards;

Thanks Daniel! This is what i was looking for!! Works good.. Just one problem, this thing kinda slows down my phone allot.. i only have two screens set.. Dono if this is right?! Anyone willing to test on an HTC TyTn for me!?!? plz. just wana know if its slow as mine..
How quick is the actual switching?
Instant, near instant, roughly X seconds?
Thanks guys.
V
oh sorry.. from today1 to today2 about 7-10seconds. Backwords about 2seconds..
Maybe there is a regkey that can increase the memory use for this app or something to make it switch more instant like.. ??!!
That may depends what you used in today1 and today2. Mind listing the stuff you had in today1 and today2? 7-10 seconds are really slow. And, does it happen all the time while switching from today1 to today2 or does it have a cache thing that, once you did it, the next switching becomes faster.
Ok. Oh, there doesnt seem to be caching..
On today1 I have the following:
1) Date (Default one)
2) Calender (Default one)
3) Messaging (Default one)
4) IP Dashboard
5) Phone Dashboard
6) Resco Today Plugin
7) Device lock (Default one)
On today2 I have:
1) Wireless (That registry hack to display the connections status)
2) WeatherPanel ( I disabled it to test, but its still slow!)
3) Device Lock (Default one)
Well, can anyone else confirm that SK Today Commander slows down your TyTn when having 2 or more today screens?
Yes, I does seem to be slow in switching. I installed the trial version last night and only have 2 screens. I am using the buttons in the task bar and when activating a change I will see Help or contacts flash on the screen before it actually switches Today Screens. Not sure if I want to pay the money or not for the app.
try JGUI MoreTodays

Thanx @ samsonib for also testing.. Its a bummer, that app looks and works very nice, just the slowness thats the downside!
SkizZO, im downloading the app now to test! Thanx!
ok, i just installed JGUI MoreTodays! It also works, but its the same as the other one.. Its also damn slooowwww.. Dont think this device was made to handle more than one today screen.. Looks like there is no app out there that can do an instant switch to a second today screen..
I downloaded MoreTodays! and it seems to be a little faster than the Today Commander and I don't get the flashes of the help screens, etc. I guess I will play with it for the 5 free days before the trial ends before I go back to one crowded screen. Thanks.
Well I thought I had 5 days to use MoreTodays!, but this morning a message popped up saying that the trial had expired and I could only use 1 screen until I removed trial and reloaded the full version. Anyone else have this issue?
I know there are already threads of this nature on this forum but most have been abandoned back in 2008.
Does this mean somebodies found a solution??
Im running a diamond but not tf3d, just a normal today screen.
ive tried using dcinobar, vjtoggletoday and although they clear the writing and the today screen moves into the no vacant space, whatever occupies that space cannot be clicked on??
any ideas??
many thanks
me too
i was lookin into that yesterday, i tried nuechemnobar and it wouldnt install, i too would like to know the answer to this
ive tried nonewbar and it does the same thing the screen does take up the extra space but its unclickable
I cant believe even the faithful wisbar wasnt successful in removing the softkeys. Ive never known wisbar not to manage this, what a pain this devicee is
Hi folks,
I am new here, but I have read through most of the forums and cannot replicate my problem, so here goes.
I installed SPB Mobile 3 over the air last night, and it worked like it was supposed to. I didn't like 2 because when you hit the power off button it went back to the today screen.
SPB M3 worked like a charm last night, when I hit the power button, it was there waiting. When I turned it off, it turned the screen off (without going to home) When I hit the icon I placed on the nice new display screen, it went to the today screen, and I could start dialing an unknown number.
After crashing SPB twice trying to set default ring volumes, I figured I did enough damage, and hard reset my phone.
The mobile shell will not come on now unless I hit start (pain) and after I hit power off, I must power off the today screen also (or wait the 1 minute timeout) Does anyone have any idea what I screwed up or did not configure right? I understand this is more of an SPB mobile 3 problem (more than likely) but I figure there are pros here.
I have hard reset since, removing spb
I have tried using spbwatcher, which almost eliminates making a phone call not from contacts
I have tried replicating what I did last night (installing SPB over air, and through desktop)
I am just a little frustrated because the new SPB looks great, easy to use and very productive.
Any thoughts?
Just to add something to your info. SPB Mobile Shell does not work with RealVGA.
To bad though.. ..It looks like a cool program but it's not useful for Palm users at the moment.
I'm running it on my treo pro & it works fine
SPB MS3
Running great on my Treo Pro... wouldn't like the phone too much without it!

Sadly there is in fact a very bad bug with the Treo Pro ringer and Treo Pro. SPB has this listed as a critical bug on the Treo Pro.
Yeah, the treo has a lot of system hacks with its side buttons -- and MS3 didn't expect this, it seems.. so there are some very significant issues with the Treo Pro/MS3.
but I'd ever read there is some methord to fix the problem to make SPB MS3 work on PRO with 96dpi.
I must be missing something b/c so far MS3 works pretty well on my treo pro. Maybe I don't know enough to see a bug if it hit me in the face - what should I be looking for?
These Issues are solved:
1st Treo Issue:
Ringer volume would drop to 0% if you touched the volume buttons on the side of the phone.
2nd
On the Lifestyle layout, if you used individual widgets for mail, mms etc it would not display voice mail messages but it did on the professional layout.
3rd
Again on the lifestyle layout the mail widget that was combined with the sms and missed call would not link to the primary email account.
If you follow this link you can download the beta versions (which still require your MS3 serial number). I currently have 3.0.1 Beta 3 (build 6488) which fixed the issues listed above that I was able to find wrong.
Currently they released a newer beta version that I will be testing out shortly 3.0.1 Release Candidate 1 (build 6501). Hope this helps

Thanks so much scotty for taking the time out to answer my question. If I download the new beta and install... do I need to uninstall the old one? Will I lose all settings and favorite contacts set up, etc?
Thanks,
Sorry about your problem I got sprint touch vogue, where did you get SPB 3, I'd can we get the reg codes?
Thanks and good luck

No need to uninstall the old version and you won't lose a thing. Just run the new install and it will tell you that it needs to remove the old one first but let it do the uninstall for you. It will automatically go in to the new install and all of your settings will stay the same.

If you don't have the money to buy it that's understandable. You can always check out a torrent site or send me a PM, I may be able to be of assistance
If you want a cheap alternative check out Panoramic Launch Pad:
http://www.panoramicsoft.com/mobileapps/launchpad/LaunchPad.php
It doesn't do quite as much as Mobile Shell but it uses way less memory, costs a lot less and works perfectly on my Pro
thats the worst product ever. you cant remove pages and the bringup minmized program task manger is dug in.

Scott is correct on the solved issue. sadly there are still critical bugs, and you can see on the SPB forums all the treo pro users are ticked off at lack of fix.

try and call up your task manager! Task manager is killed in MS3, this is not fixed. It is a Treo Pro specific bug.
Also there are message count/notifications problems on MS3 with many devices and the Treo pro is no exception as well as very difficulty to nail down battery consumption

i like it. Run very smooth
I use SPB Pocket Plus 4 with 320x320 96dpi, works like a charm!
funny thing is SPB PP4 only works with 320x320, whereas SPB mobile shell only works with 240x240.
working spb?
i was wondering if anyone has a link of spb that will out live its 2 week experation date?
i cant seem to find one. thanks
