Dear all 818pro(ENG OS)
The reason causing memory card disappear problem is dopod built-in software.(inside Extension Rom)
Only one method to solve, hard reset the PDA but without installed any built-in software as follow:
Right now I hard-reset the PDA, until the password setup, and then the PDA begin install build-in software...soft reset immediately.
If you used above hard-reset method which don't installed any built-in software. You only lost:
1. Smart Dailer
2. Built-in Voice Commander
3. Autoconfig
4. clearvue pdf
I used two days and everything work fine. You may ask why I so sure? Because I noticed the speed of reading memory card is different before which listed below:
1. Before using above mentioned method: When the PDA turn on (In sleeping mode and phone on mode), it need 1-3 seconds to read the memory card. If you installed Today Plug-in Software, you may found that it need 1-3 seconds to detect the memory card.
2. After using above mentioned method: When the PDA turn on, the PDA detect the memory card simultaneously.
As a result, I can assure this method can solved the memory card disappear problem.
Some experience would like to share with all user:
1. I installed all programs in the ROM. If someone installed programs in the memory card, please let me know the result.
2. I can installed back the smart dialer software. Please search this forum to download.
3. When you connected GPRS, a 'Disconnect' button (and Timer) to the Connection List for GPRS is disappeared. You can make registry hack to switch back.
Add a 'Disconnect' button (and Timer) to the Connection List for GPRS
To add a Disconnect button:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 8 (DWORD decimal)
To add a Disconnect button and a timer display showing how long GRPS is in use for the session:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 16 (DWORD decimal)
To disable both the Disconnect button and the timer:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 0 (DWORD decimal)
4. PDA can detect 'Phone Service Provider' automatically. However, when you need GPRS, you need manuel setup. I used 'PEOPLES' which is Hong Kong Service Provider and take as a Example setup:
Go to Setting > Connections > Tap Connections
1. Choose > My ISP - Add a new modem connection
2. You need to enter > a Name (Which name you like) and Select a modem [Cellular Line (GPRS)] > Next
3. Acess point name : Peoples.net > Next
4. Ignore the user name and password. > Finish
Thanks for the Reg Hack!!! Worked perfectly on the Dopod 818Pro!!!!
Thanks!!!

Hi sas90850,
What a good job you've done! Excellent!
I'm wondering whether this topic is the instruction you said (WM5 smart dial)
or you could point out where I can download the smart dialer software and have an installation instruction, thanks.
I've 818Pro and would like to do the same "UPGRADE"... :wink:
Dear all user
you can download the built-in smart dialer software as following link. Make sure you download the "SmartDialing_enable_0915_signed.CAB" only.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=32458&highlight=smart+dialer
Copy the .cab file to PDA and install. Must soft reset. :wink:
If anyone installed software in the memory card, please post here whether the disappear problem is solved. :?:

Just to let everyone know that you already have this same file as well as the GPRS disconnect button CAB file in your own Dopod 818Pro's Extended_rom. You can browse and copy files in this hiden folder with GSfinder.
This worked for me also with the jamin. I soft reset after hard resetting and it gave me back rom and fixed the sd issue. Thanks
Edit: After soft resetting my device, the start menu once again doesn't show the correct icons for programs loaded on the sd card?? The programs will open and work but the icons are displayed?
Hi, this method seems to have solved most of my Jamin troubles too! Thanks!
I need just some help to get the GPRS timer: I don't find the registry. Is it in the HKEY_CURRENT USER OR THE HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE? I found the Control Panel\Phone, but not the "Flags 2" registry that needs changing as described.
Many thanks!
Dear Fidipaldi
You need to add a new registry. Make sure you use DWORD Value. The location is shown below.
Add a 'Disconnect' button (and Timer) to the Connection List for GPRS
1. To add a Disconnect button only:
Go to HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone
Add Name = 'Flags2' :arrow: DWORD Data = 8
2. To add a Disconnect button and a timer display showing how long GRPS is in use for the session:
Go to HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone
Add Name = 'Flags2' :arrow: DWORD Data = 16
3. To disable both the Disconnect button and the timer:
Go to HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone
Add Name = 'Flags2' :arrow: DWORD Data = 0
Dear mikewchandler
Question :After soft resetting my device, the start menu once again doesn't show the correct icons for programs loaded on the sd card?? The programs will open and work but the icons are displayed?
1. Copy the program *.exe file which installed in the SD Card.
2. Use File Explorer:
Go to Windows\Start Menu\Programs :arrow: Paste Shortcut
You will get the programs icon.
Dear SAS,
Many thanks for your help!!
It works great! I also managed to get the smart dialer back. The only application that is missing is Clearview.
So far my Jamin does not seem to crash on a regular basis as it did before. It must be the add on software that made the device crash.
Finally I can enjoy the device. Thanks again!
After 5 days. :lol:
Right now I installed a lot programs both in the ROM and SD Card and didn't find any disappear problem. :lol:
One more thing, I also found that the auto soft-reset seems gone too.
I will keep posting here and let you know the result. :wink:

Here's what I usually do on a new device or after a hard reset. I have about 10 progs on my sd card (total commander, tweaks2k2, etc...) and I have created shortcuts to them and placed them in a folder on my sd card. I then copy those and paste them in the /windows/start menu/programs folder and everything works well. I've noticed this quirky behavior on the jamin so far?
I did what you recommended by not installing the ext rom. I'm happy with a quicker device and more rom; however, I'm still having this little issue with the icons not appearing correctly in the start menu? Kind of strange. The white and blue default box is what's showing up (as if there is no shortcut icon) but the progs open just fine? :shock:
which program should we install
After Hard Reset and Review the extended rom,
There are serveral progarms avaliable for install
I just wonder what program from Extended Rom should we normally install in order to make phone become functional as the standard automatic install of extended rom?
Secondly, what each one of them is for? does anybody has information?
Thank you very much

The SD card problem seems disappear but it still soft resets itself after standby and battery charging for a while.

After 6 days used, I don't have any soft reset problem at all no matter in standby mode, sleeping mode and/or battery charging either the PDA is turn on/off......any condition.:roll:
re: Mike Chandler
Try this....
goto settings, menu and unclick just one of the programs in question. select ok and then checkout the start menu. Should be well again. Then go back and reselect your menu button you unclicked earlier. All is well. I'm not sure if this is a permanent solution or not but it does work.

Thanks Yes it worked temporarily and then after a soft reset...same. I've narrowed it down a bit. The progs show fine in the bottom of the start menu (recently run progs) but if I add them to the top part of the start menu, they show fine until a soft reset....then they don't again. What I also noticed is if I copy the .exe and paste it in the start menu it shows fine....the only problem was when I copied the .exe and pasted a shortcut to the .exe. Anyway, I've settled on a fix. A few of the progs that didn't display correctly, I've just added to ilauncher.
Don't spend any more brain power on it for now....it must be something specific to me as others aren't posting problems like this. Thanks again
@mikewchandler
First of all it's nice to see you again on this forum!
To fix your problem try installing Signed_IconsDll.sa.cab from the extended rom. This should fix your problem!
@ALL
Regarding the SD card issue, the problem seems to be originating from the file Signed_SD_Driver.sa.cab. Not installing just this cab will also solve the problem.
I would suggest installing the following cabs as well as these improve system stability or add functionality:
CAB-ConnectionSpeedMax.sa
CAB-Shortcut-MMS1-JAVA5XX-CV-Dopod........
CAB-WapPushSMS
Signed_Disable_ErrorReport.sa
Signed_DisconnectButton_3s.sa
Signed_IconsDLL.sa
Signed_PIE_View_Default.sa
Signed_Prophet_DopodAsia_UA.sa
Signed_Version.sa
SmartDialing_enable_0915_signed
Thanks kta....it's great being here but I'm going to miss the eten community. :?
Thanks for the tips. Yeah, I didn't install the ext rom at all....I should have mentioned that (if I didn't?). Thanks again.
Edit: Where's the best place to get the files off the ext rom? I don't guess I know how to extract the ext rom to copy before hard resetting, soft resetting to keep it from installing. Hope that runon sentence makes sense.? :roll:
hello ppl.
i have ripped the above two applications from the o2 active ui suite and converted them to a stand alone cab....which can be installed even on the sd card....
about the applications......
powerprofile lets you manage your power consumption by switching on/off radio/wifi/irda/bt and altering screen brigtness and sound.....supports scheduled profiles
taskmanager is a manager which lets you see your running applications and quickly switch between them and also turn them off....in addition it can show you the running services at that time....
known bugs.....
1)during installation you get a msg that connection setting is not found....and the installation coplete screen is not shown
solu...after about half a min of this msg soft reset your device...
2)prog can not be uninstalled....when uninstaller is run it gives an error that program cannot be completely removed and offers you to remove it from the list
solu....accept to remove the prog from the list and manually remove the prog dir from the windows folder in the drive you chose to install it.
Wicked!!!!
I was going to flash my MDA Pro with O2 ROM to get these out today
Thanks for saving me the time
Hi thanks for these. Can you post a screenshot please? Can I install these to my SD Card?
re
thanks...for a moment i thought i was the only one who needed this...
sorry but no screeny
Hi all,
something strange happened to my XDA (O2 ROM v2.21.4.101):
* my "remove programs" list is now completelly empty, even if I have many programs installed and running!
* I can no longer install any new program ("exe" or "cab") - installation starts, but always ends with unsuccessful message
* active sync 4.2 no longer connects!!
Apart from this, everything seems to be in order.
Any help/hints would be mostly appreciated, trying to avoid an always painfull "hard reset"...
Thanks!
Hm, have you tried updating your ROM? That would reset your phone and update it so it should work...
But you would loose your contacts etc as you cant sync now? Hmmm

modify the registration:
HKLM\ControlPanel\AdminPassword\Group=0x1(1)
delete the key "Redirect"
Than soft restart. You'll find a "Policy" or "Stratagy" icon in the "System" page of the "Setting" window. Clear the checkbox of restriction.
Thanks for the info - unfortunatelly, I already did an hard reset to the PDA. I will keep it for future reference, though

just for the record that check box was already clear when I looked at it and it didn't do anything for me
Had to do a restore from a back up a couple weeks ago. damn it.
Mine did it after a corrupt install. SOB.
The values basically haven't changed the behavior...
Hi all,
I have copied the values exactly as they were, but still nothing happens...furthermore my ActiveSync on the MDA Vario seems not to recognise any connections, even when the phone is connected with the ActiveSync of the PC. Is there any way maybe to reinstall only the phone portion on ActiveSync in the MDA? I downloaded a file "activesync.exe" from the ftp server. is it the pocketpc portion of activesync?
Thx a lot
Hi everybody I have a huge irritating problem. I have a t-mbile mda and I have the latest rom and radio installed. After a soft reset everything boots up fine then after a few hours the tmail.exe. opens on the screen. I go to start menu settings click on memory and stop the tmail form running and bam it opens on its own again almost immediatley. Ive tried task managers and nothing seems to keep this tmail from opening on the today screen. I know it runs in the process area, but it opens itself after a few hours. Please help.
I cant close this app.
Have you tried checking the notification queues to see if it had itself inside there?

calnot.exe..........start on timer
calnot.exe..........start after restore from backup
calnot.exe..........start if time changes
clocknot.exe.......start on timer
clocknot.exe.......start if time changes
clocknot.exe.......start after restore from backup
repllog.exe..........start on timer
repllog.exe..........repllog.exe
repllog.exe..........start if time changes

Hey thanks for the help. I tried that too. Didnt work either, after a few hours tmail popped up and would'nt let me close it.
I even did a hard reset and it still popped up and would'nt close.
I installed everything on my storage card but I didnt do a format on the card I just reinserted after the hard reset and created shortcuts from programs that were installed on the card.
I think if this happens again I will format the card and do a hard reset and do a reinstall of everything.
I was just hoping someone out there had the same problem.
Just made a small modification in my PPC registry (set default SIP) and tried if it survives a reboot. Unfortunately it survives ...
My Niki now stops/hangs during reboot showing the htc logo ...
Since I've saved the original registry a "simple" restore of registry would help. Is there any trick to boot the PPC in debug mode or so (e.g. like protected mode in XP)?
Any help highly appreciated !!!!!!!

Only thing to do is hard reset...
when phone is off, hold the call and end button and press the power button.
That will make your ppc soft reset, you can restore the registry after the phone resetted itseld
