Hallo everyone!
I am new in the forum and new in the PDA world , my last phone that I used was Nokia 6630, and now I have Qtek 9100 , but I am still confused and hope for some help from you..
1- I was setting a ringtone for contact group, when anyone from any group calls me, I can hear a ringtone then I know that this person is from that group, is it possible to do that in my Qtek 9100 ( WM5 ) ?
2- I am using Voice Command, when I recieve a call, the woman says the number, is there any possibility to disable the Voice Command only for the recieved calls and leave it enabled for other functions ?
3- I miss some of applications that were installed in my Nokia Smartphone, like an application for changing the cm to inches or kilogramms to pounds etc.. , is there such application already installed in Wizard ? Or do I have to install it myself ? If yes, what is the name of such appliction ?
4- If I want to install an application, what is the better way, installing it in Memory card or in the Phone memory itself ? Is there any differences if I install it in MC or in the Phone itself ?
I have much more questions, but right now I am trying to figure out the rest myself..
Thanks in Advnce!
No setting for a group but you can set for each contact - in the contact fields - option for ringtone.
there is the free converterce for conversions see here http://www.freewareppc.com/calculator/converterce.shtml
Most of the time best to install to storage card to keep program memory free on the device. Although some applications like notem etc.. need to be installed on the device memory to work properly.
Thanks alot for your answer.
But what about the Microsoft Voice Command ? Can't I just disable it when I reciev a Call ? because it annoys me when the woman mentions the number, I want to disable it from that function and leave it enabled for all other functiones.
Start>Settings>Voice Command
Select Phone>Options>uncheck announce incoming calls
Thanks csterns for the answer.
new question claimed in my head.... Can I restart the phone without turning it off ? Just Restart and not turning off... Any idea how to do that ?
I appreciate any comment.
I'm not sure if you a referring to "resetting" vs "restarting". To reset the phone it does shut down and does shut down (soft reset)
To soft reset you can use this:
Or if you are not using a protective case which covers up the sides of the device then get the stylus and simply poke it in the hole just beneath the infra-red receiver on the righthand side.
Thank you all for your replies.. But I was actually meaning "Restarting" and not "resetting".
But does the "Resetting" do the same as "Restarting" does ? As much as I know, if I do the "Soft Reset" I'll loose any datas or programs that have been saved or installed before, is that right ?
And isn' there a way to only "Restart" the WM5 instead of doing a "Soft Reset" ? Like in the Windows XP for PC, if you click on "Start" then "Turn off Computer" you'll notice there is a "Restart" button.
Everything that has been mentioned so far (including the hole and the stylus) is known as a soft reset. This is exactly like restarting your Windows based PC. Nothing is lost, all your programs and data are still there. "Soft reset" is the correct terminology when talking about PDAs, not a "restart".
A hard reset is where you will lose data. A hard reset can only be performed through a combination of button presses OR by going to Start -> Settings -> System tab -> Clear Storage. Once there it will ask you to confirm you want to hard reset. There is no way you can do it accidentally unless you are really silly!
Aha, thanks Keitaro for your answer. Well that means "Restarting" in PC is the same as "Soft Reset" on PPC, what about any settings I changed, will they be back to default when I do the reset ? I mean like Volume or any settings that I changed in the WM5.

Settings such as volume etc does not get affected by a soft reset.
If you are really worried about understanding what does and does not happen during a soft reset then all you have to do is this...
1) Use your backup program to perform a FULL backup and store the image somewhere other than the device itself, eg storage card. This is only so you can be safe that you go back to where you started if goes wrong. However, I can guarantee you that nothing bad will happen so you won't even need this backup file but do for your piece of mind...
2) Make some random changes, eg volume, today theme, ringtone, documents.
3) Perform a soft reset
4) Check all the changes you just made before the soft reset and you will see that they are all the same as before - nothing has changed
5) Delete the backup because it's not needed
Actually...if you've made any recent (last 30 seconds or so) changes to the registry and then do a 'reset button' soft reset those registry changes may be lost. However this problem doesn't exist for the 'hold standby button down for 3 seconds' soft reset. However, I doubt that you are doing any registry changes right now just remember this for the future.

If he's only just beginning to understand the difference between a hard and soft reset, and what each do and don't do, then he'd better hope he's not fugging about with the registry!
Thanks too much, Keitaro, for this great post.
And I appreciate Cardcaptor_RLH85's post too..
Well to be honest, I knew about "Hard Reset" and "soft reset" before, but what I was fearing is loosing datas and settings after the soft reset, I really didn't know that Restart = Soft Reset, I thought "Soft Reset is usefull when a programm hangs or a problem shows up and I never know that it is exactly the same as Restart for PC.
About Registry Edit, yes I still didn't change anything in Registry, well only 3 days is this baby in my hands.. But I have read here in this forum much about editing the Registry to solve some problems and issues, I really don't fear the editing, because I did this many times in my PC I don't think PPC is more complicated than a PC.
Thanks for you all.

Does it still do this after Soft Reset?
Did you check that Button Assignments are intact? (Menu>Settings>Buttons>Button 3)
Did you look in the Windows Folder and make sure the program is still there? (Camera.exe, 529.45 kB on my Cingular 8125)
If it is not there, a hard reset may be necessary.
I have found that the camera application is a bit finicky.
Sometimes just opening and closing keyboard will break the block.

Thanks a lot for the reply.
I have tried soft-reset and hard reset as well, but they cannot work
Button correction, camera.exe still there 529k
when I click camera in programs or press the button,
WM2005 indicate it's doing something as the 4-seg disk appear on the screen.
But then it does nothing
If a Hard Reset did not resolve your issue, and you have tried both the button and the icon in Programs again, either the camera is defective or you need to reload the ROM. I would try loading another ROM next...

Sometimes you have to push the button twice. (I have noticed that it randomly happens on the last ROM I used, but it didn't bother me enough to try to diagnose.)

Hey guys,
Right now my Leo is unable to launch HTC sense after I did a soft-reset after modifying the registry "Change - CacheSize to 4096" gotten from the Leo Hints & Tips thread as well as uninstalling Nimbuzz.
Also I also created a shortcut for Task Manager to put into the start menu and added it to the Manilla shortcut at the main page.
A couple of soft-resets still doesn't solve it, and sometimes it will say tap here to start HTC Sense but tapping doesn't do anything. Able to open the dialing menu but takes quite awhile.
Pressing the contacts menu gives the error message "The file "contacts" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted cert, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.
Any ideas?
Got the same problem.
Duttys HD Holy Grail
I tried to reinstall the rom but I can't connect with usb.
did you try that?
same problem here.
rom is 1.48 from stock.
also had the unable to launch sense error, couldnt find a way to solve it so i had to hard reset (AGAIN!!)
having to link 90 contacts with facebook manually sucks!
Does anyone have been able to solve this problem? I faced it today, I was doing some tweaks to my HD2, did some soft resets but then sudenlly it stops working, Sense freezes and has been unable to launch it, sometimes I can access to start menu but I can't load anthing, every link I tried to open tells me that the file cannot be opened either it's not signed or one of its components cannot be found. Nothing but the phone can be opened.
My rom is 1.48 stock.
Is the only solution for this a hard reset?

I faced similar problem before if I added the tweak of FATFS=4096. I did "hard reset" and then reinstalled all stuffs. I reinstalled all programs and readded the tweaks except FATFS one. The phone resumes normal.
It seems to me that the tweak of FATFS may not work on HD2.
Yes, actually I managed to remove that tweak without hard reset it, reverted it to FATFS=0 and everything came back to normal, my HD2 is now like it was before.
We MUST warn every HD2 owner to not apply this tweak.
I've cautioned this particular tweak on the main thread before.
changing the FATFS would hanged the HD2 (ROM: 1.48 Asia Region) and you'll need to hard reset to revert to the default settings.
Ohhh I didn't see that...
Thanks calyon!

HOw you do that?!
First I disabled HTC Sense from Home, then I move to the top of the start menu the registry editor (in my case it's SKTools Registry Explorer), then I turned it off and on several times and every time I tried to run the registry editor, when I was unable to run it I turned it off and on again, until I was able to run the registry editor, then navigated to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS and changed back the FATFS to 0.
I don't know how many times I've had to turn it on and off, but I thinks it's better than do a hard reset, specially if you don't have a backup or your data.

(considering you have a reg editor already installed of course)
Thank you very much vhjc... you saved all of us lots of painfull time!
Hello,
I just changed the FATFS registry value to 4096 based on the tweaks hint & tips and now my HD2 hangs and couldn't launch the HTC Sense app. Reading the responses above, it seems that it's possible to disable HTC Sense from Today setting in this kind of condition. However no matter how I tried to click on the "Setting" icon on the Start Menu screen, I only got the error window saying that the program is missing and we need to restore or reinstall... I couldn't connect the device to my laptop thru activesync to remove the registry since the activesync app (the switcher between storage device & activesync window) failed to load as well...
Could you please share how did you manage to go to the Today setting window to disable the HTC Sense? I couldn't see any other options since no other shortcuts are available, nor I can run any app from the start menu Is there a way to load HD2 standard WinMo OS in safe mode only...?
I'm really desperate on this situation and as much as possible I don't wanna hard reset my HD2 since I haven't done any backup yet...
Please help... Thank you very much in advance!
cheers
Im getting the unable to launch htc sense message too, even after a hard reset the problem re-occurs. can anyone advise me what to do??
Sorry, should have mentioned this above, I have not changed the registry setting of fatfs to anything other than 0, so this is not whats causing this problem for me. I have tried using a reg editor ro confirm the setting is 0 still no luck.
before the problem occurs i get an error reporting message saying theres been a problem with manila.exe
Any help pleeeease....

Do you mean how to hard reset......? For sure you can find in the manual......
It's same with HD

To perform a hard reset
1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and
VOLUME DOWN buttons, then press the POWER button shortly
and release it. You will then see a message on the screen warning
you that the operation will delete all your personal data and reset
all settings to manufacturer defaults.
2. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
3. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press
any other button to cancel the reset.
and the MANUALS download page

Here is the cab for soft reset and power off. It working well with mine.
thx for power off and soft reset apps
Hei
Thanks for these apps. Soft Reset works fine, I've put it to "quick" apps.
Power off just switch my screen off and lock it.
Its ok to me too.
Good luck
Hi,
it's nice to have the application to make a soft reset. But what if the device freezes. Recently I've experienced it sevral times and I always had to remove battery to restart the phone. It's very uncomfortable. Any solutions for this?

What's a manual?
Anyone found a reset button or method other than "battery out" ?
htc itself states on their website the "switch off - and on" as a soft reset. In case of a frozen device - it's battery out.
Lets face it: with the little red button the Mini would have been much more expensive

Many people experience this problem. It's part of the design of HTC Sense.
I encourage you, and everybody, to write complaints about this problem in the support section of HTC website. Just as i did. It's the only way to force them to correct this problem with an update.

why don't u use myphone for editing the contacts?
Most of the time, you'll have to edit contacts on the go. That's why it's a mobile phone.
I use pc Outlook to edit for now. But this is a serious handicap. Have to remember or write down details, and wait till i get home or to the office to power up the pc, and do the editting. Often, papers got lost. Or i forgot some details. This is really not the solution. Just a temporary method to get by.
All my older pocketpc and windows mobile phones made it very easy for me to edit contacts on the go. Never had problems with that. THis is one of the strongest points of windows mobile, despite its shortcomings on user-friendliness. What HD mini did was to kill this one very important advantage of windows mobile.
Why???
Just a small tip for frozen phones. Wait five minutes. It happens a lot that the phone is working again.
It's not supposed to be this bad. HTC is making the contacts editting of WM a laughing stock.

Hello guys ..... m really fan of installing apps on my htc touch2 and aftr installing few apps .... my phone has become very slow .... plz give me any suggestion so that i can increase some speed.... some software or anything ???
Hello, unfortunately when you frequently install programs and unstall some of them again your phone gets slow. A regular soft reset ,which you do propably, will help or even a hard reset.
Had recently experience myself that deleting a program gave me some functions back.
Another great support is SKTools to clean ram, registry and more.
Also use programs like advanced configuration tools, diamond tweak etc.
Have fun.
Hard reset is what you need to refresh the system.
me too
i have the same problem. for only 4 months of use, it's already sooo slow.
and my problem is, i have no idea how to do a soft reset any more than a hard reset.
SKTools can clean up RAM? how can I use it? and where to get it in the first place? thanks!
yeah i have to hard reset my phone every 2 months or so :/ but by then a new rom is out so i just reflash it lol
Soft Reset
1. Open the rear battery cover
2. Remove the Stylus
3. One the botton LHS, there is a reset button.
4. Use the stylus to reset the phone
Hard Reset
1. Power Off the phone.
2. Press Both Volume UP & DOWN Keys together.
3. Keeping the keys pressed, power up the phone.
4. The screen will display a message.
5. Press the Volume UP Key.
Enjoy.

To prevent slow of your HTC Mega you can set with taskmanager X button for closing application. I suggest upgrade radio rom (see rom upgrade on this forum for HTC Mega) and not try even apps but install only needed application for best and comfortable use of your HTC Mega.
