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:
Hi
im not sure if this is the right location to place this thread.
ive a major problem with my touch diamond. i installed quickmenu_en_2.7 on my device (german wm6.1) and noticed that Einstellungen was lost. so i tried to help myself and did
start > quickmenu > option > command > settings > create shortcut
and then selected \windows\startmenü\einstellungen
it worked quite fine. i was able to select the einstellungen (persönlich, system, verbindungen) directly from the startmenu. but therefore i had to select
start > settings > quickmenu-settings (or sth like that)
so i went to \windows\startmenü\einstellungen, changed the name of "quickmenu-settings" to "Einstellungen" and moved it to \windows\startmenü
all good so far. then i decided to delete quickmenu and to test smallmenu.
Start > Einstellungen is now not working anymore. nothing happens if i click it. i also cant find it in \windows\startmenü anymore.
HELP, anybody!?
is there a settings.exe in the windows folder anywher which i could select/ redirect instead.
i dont want to do the hardreset...
I had also compatibility problems with quick menu on the diamond. The program wasn´t updated a longer time before the diamond released. I think,. there are some driver problems with the newer rom. Also wisbar has little problems...maybe this rom version has problems with this form of opening the start menu.
i also think that im not the only one with that kind of problem.
sth similar here (in german):
http://www.pocketpc.ch/htc-touch-diamond/43653-start-einstellungen-problem.html
does anybody know if there is a way to start the settings/einstellungen directly from the explorer and not from the startmenu. is there any kind of *.exe anywhere in the windows folder? i guess then i could redirect it.

According to this site the name is control.exe
Thx Obsidian!
now i got sth to work with. i downloaded utils.zip from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349162
there's a control.exe in it. you can start the settings menu with it.
I have a t-mobile HD2 and everytime I launch the internet browser (Opera) it brings up this really annoying "Do you want to go online?" warning. This happens whether Opera is launched from the Sense UI or directly from the start menu.
I can not find anything in the registry to remove this. I have also noticed in the \Windows folder that there is a "BrandedBrowser.exe", which seems to be the cause, because if I run it (and Opera is not already running) then it brings up the warning and then launches Opera, however, if I run the OperaL.exe file directly then it doesnt display the warning.
How can I modify the Sense UI so that it launches the OperaL.exe instead of the BrandedBrowser.exe?
Any ideals peeps?
To launch OperaL.exe as the default instead of BrandedBrowser.exe just use a program like total commander to rename Brandedbrowser to brandedbrowser_bkp.exe (just so you have a backup copy should you ever need it), then make a copy of operaL.exe and rename it as BrandedBrowser.exe
Make sure it stays in the windows directory.
I just tried this myself and it worked.
The branding still appears but it doesn't ask me if i want to go online anymore
Thanks very much
I can't seem to do this. I have Total Commander installed but whenever I change the file properties to uncheck System and Read Only, it just reverts back so that I can't rename or delete it.
How do I do this?

Strange. When I did it, I didn't change any of the files properties. I just renamed it. Make sure the browser isn't running in the background. You can close it fully with the task manager. If it is running perhaps you can't edit the file name.
Perfect. I must have had the browser running in the background without realising last time. I've just had another go with the stock File Manager and it's worked a treat
Now.....I just need to find a way of switching off HSDPA (but keeping 3G) switched on in this T-Mobile UK 1.43 ROM

That's the easy part
Go to Settings, Menu, All Settings, Connections, and Advanced Network. It's the 1st option you'll see.
Unfortunately it seems to be missing from this ROM. In advanced settings I have 3 tabs: GPRS (authentication method), CSD Line Type and SMS Service. I think T-Mobile have removed it for some reason.
Is there a registry key I can change?

I had the same problem.
I thought it might've been because I was using an old version of Total Commander, so I updated that to the latest one but it still wouldn't work.
To fix the problem I copied the original read only files to my PC desktop, unticked the read only attribute, copied them to my SD card, then moved them from there back into the Windows directory on the phone, and finally changed the file names.
I rebooted the phone to make sure the changes had stuck, and they had.
Much rejoicing was made.
If I can find a way to switch HSDPA off and keep 3G on, and improve general stability I'll be 99.9% happy with the HD2. If only I could update the ROM without voiding the warranty
Come on T-Mobile, hurry up an release a 1.48 ROM!!!!! :

Try
\Program Files\[<Your program's Developer>\]<Your Program Name>
(Start-> File Explorer -> Up (lower left corner)->Up->Up->Up->. . . .->Up->Program Files . . .)
Also if you still cant find it, hook it up to your pc, and then use the windows (if you have windows) built in search, and then search for the file name and then you'll know where it is in the future

Some of the shortcuts in the start menu are actually folders (Multimedia, for example.)
Have you looked in them for the apps you installed? Also, some apps don't have shortcuts in the programs folder. TouchResponse, for example, just runs all the time. There's a shortcut in settings, but nothing in the start menu root.
You probably just need to hunt round. If you could tell us for sure what you're missing then someone on here will definitely have installed it previously and be able to help you.
ok, sorry...
i have installed program Called power monitor. it monitors power consuption of each task/progrm running.
searcb for it on thiz forum, and try to insta.
lof course, I have well known battery life problem... and finding my way to get max from my hd 2.
priciate all tips & answers.
Yesterday my phone locked me out, after charging it wouldn't accept my password & I had to do a hard reset.
Most of my utils/progs etc were installed to my memory card & I can use file manager to locate them & run them by running the exe file.
Is there any way of getting them onto the main screen without having to delete & then reinstall them - it looks like it's just the program shortcuts which haved been deleted.
Is it possibe to make new shortcuts & place them on the 'start' screen?
I read in a similar post that pocket mechanic might do something like this - would it, or is there another way?
Thanks.

future tip:
get spb backup application, and back everything up every week or so.
Nice one, thanks for the help both of you.
Search the net for a free program called shortcutcreator i think i got it from one of the pocket pc freeware sites. It does what your looking for scans your card for applications then creates shortcuts in your program folder.
