Questions From ex-Treo650 user

Ok I had gotten board with the lack of wifi and decent web browser on the Treo 650 that I decided to make the move to the 8125. I knew about the speed difference and some of the other issues discussed in these forums because I researched the device for months before making the move. Therefore I wont say much about that. Unfortunately I have a few issues that I can't seem to find answers for in this forum and I was hoping other users out there could help.
1. Is there any way of making the navigation pad useful? I cant access anything on the taskbar and it would be great if I could. I installed magic button so I can close apps and switch back to home when I want. Furthermore there is almost no documentation on how to use the nav pad. All application instructions say tap the icon. It's very convenient to have one handed use. for example i have yet to figure out how to get back to the location bar in Pocket IE so I can enter a url without having to tap the screen.
2. Is it common that some applications just freak out when you switch to landscape mode (scroll bars not working and such)?
3. As mentioned I installed magic button but is there an application that will pop up a list of running tasks so I can switch between them easily with the navigation pad.
4. Backup. I may be very wrong on this but I fear that active sync does not actually backup my entire device like palm does. Could someone clear this up and if I'm correct is there a way for active sync to do this. I have more programs on this device than what is on my add/remove prog screen.
5. Notification reminders. I see a feature to have the led for a period of time but it would be nicer if it could be set to play its sound also. Like the pagers of old.
6. Notification of lost service. This phone never tells me I have no cell service. Last thing I want is battery draining searching or worse assuming I have service and miss all calls.
If anyone could provide some info on the above it would be a great help. i have already found many other programs that make up for the lacking features. Below is a list of what I have installed please make any suggestions you think would be helpful.
1. AnthaVPN - easiest and fastest to install
2. TN520 by mochasoft
3. Pocket Putty SSH client
4. Eyes On Call - Callfilter like program with many features still limited but the developer is very quick in implementing suggestions.
5. Info sharp - same developer as above but this provides sms capabilities that are very impressive. He almost has chat style sms with the way this program works.
6. OMAPclocker - for clocking to 220. I actually see the difference.
7. IM+ - Sametime/AOL instant messenger client.
8. Info apps I have Metro, Ereader, Bdicty, VadeMecum
9. TCPMP
10. Registry Wizard
11. Calc98 - the built in calc app is a joke.
12. Xpressmail - dont care what anyone says this app does what it says it will do. Pushes email to your phone.
Thank You

Palm Messaging App Issue

I installed the Palm Messaging App that threads text messages just to see how it looked and wasnt really fond of it so I wanted to remove it. Well, It was unable to be fully uninstalled for whatever reason and now the hardkey for messaging doesn't list text messages, and the today plugin is still there and launches the Palm app.
Does anyone know a way to manually uninstall this, via registry or something?

Palm Messaging App
Worst case scenario ... which is what I've done many times in the past ... is physically delete the directory and all the files in it. Go into your Today settings and remove the app. You can try searching for the app name in the Registry and remove it manually (backup your registry first).
WARNING ... this is a last case scenario. Perhaps someone else has experience with this specific application. Perhaps you can list the application's full name and version. Maybe even where you got it from, in case someone else wants to play around with it and see if they can find a better way to remove it.
Good luck!

go to the buttos settings and change it.

Help on disabling some startup items

I wonder if anyone can help me understand how to prevent a few processes from starting up automatically. As far as I can tell I don't need them, and in the case of those related to email (mailwatcher, sevenSettingsApp) they are actually sucking up so much CPU that my device isn't working correctly.
APLauncher
Mailwatcher
Mediahubmini
sevenSettingsApp (sometimes I have 2 instances of this!)
Thanks!

Check folder 'windows\startup' for shortcuts to these apps and delete the shortcuts.

Thanks. These are services, I think, not applications, so they won't necessarily appear there. I also can't find them in the usual places in the registry, at least not by a recognizable name. I'm using MemMaid to scope things out too, but it doesn't list these things by name in the startup programs or processes.
For instance, MemMaid tells me that sevenSettingsApp.exe is currently running, but I did not manually start it. However, MemMaid also tells me that this application is not included in the startup programs or services (at least by that name).
At the moment I'm assuming that I'm not recognizing something for what it is. For instance, MemMaid tells me there's a startup service called DTPT. No clue what it is. But I'm guessing I need to use MemMaid to remove some of these items from the startup queue in order to kill the unwanted services that I CAN recognize.

have you tried task manager? it might give you more or better information..and its free

Well that's a wonderful little utility! I like that a lot and it's found a permanent place on my phone. Unfortunately it didn't tell me anything about how to stop APLauncher or Biotouch from launching. Oh well. At least I think I've figured out sevensettingsapp and mailwatcher. Those were the biggest problems for me.
Thanks!

You have to replace those files, check my sig, under Tips, there is a link under HTC Cube to fix that, just be sure you know what your doing!

Hidden apps and connection status

After searching both here and on google I have not found anything so I'm hoping some of you may be able to help me out with two minor annoyances.
I have noticed that several applications can run without showing up in the task manger (both dutty and the regular one).
Is there a way to see and/or close these applications?
I have WorldMate installed and even though I have disabled auto updates it still connects. So my second question is this:
Is there a way to see what applications are using a data connection (preferably the exact executable)?
Thanks in advance!

I think the standard HTC one (included with the phone) is able to shut down more, but l'm not sure about your problems.
If you have a search through the apps section then i think I've seen something in there that tells you what is using your data (data monitor of some sort?)
Sorry I can't be of more help.
Owen.

in standard task manager click menu view processes to see lots more of what is running.

[Q] 2 Questions

1)How can I get a copy of the LG App "Notes", switching Market Places does not work b/c the app checks for the Device Manufacturer .. would like a hacked copy so i can use it please.
2) Running Anser New Tango ROM, search button came mapped to Pone app, how do i put it back the way it was?

I am not to sure about the LG App but here is how you can change the search key mapping;
"With registry editor navigate to key
[HKLM\Software\OEM\WebSearchOverride]
and change the value of
"ActionType"=3
to 6
This will set searchkey to Bing (default action)"

For the LG App, get the WPH Tweaks app. You can change your marketplace there, it works because I used it to change my marketplace to Nokia Collection.
Hope that helps!
