[UTIL] MobileMonger - Whats using up your Storage?

Hi all,
I have lurked on this forum many times and have found it very useful especially in terms of my recent ROM update issues with my new Diamond .. which turned out to be the HK version - gah! .. but that is another story.
I just wanted to let people know that I have written a tool to show storage space use on your Windows Mobile in a TreeMap. There probably are other tools like this kicking around, but I couldn't find one that was any good.
Main Memory fills up pretty fast on the Diamond if your not careful to install absolutely everything to the storage card, and also set your default save location to the storage card.
The screen shot below is of the app and the Main Memory of my Diamond after I found and killed off the offending files.
Anyhow, if your interested you can mosey on over to the download page: here
Cheers,
James.

- Added a version for Windows Mobile Standard (or Smartphone in the old terms - non-touch screen)
Update 1.2:
- Improved performance, added more status notifications to indicate what its doing during delays
Update 1.1:
- Orientation switching added

welcome to our forum. interesting tool!

Thanks for the welcome
I am curious to find out if anyone will find it useful. I have put it on several phones of guys I work with and they have found all sorts of garbage clogging up their phones.
Will give it a few days - maybe some people will try it out.
J.

thank you for the app/tool!
working fine and showing all...
in yr pic i can see you are using the app in portrait but it takes all the screen.
warning: this app is better viewed in landscape. this mean i have to stop tf3d and rotate the screen or use the gtool....in portrait the app is 1/3 of the screen. anything i should know? vga/qga related?
i can not see any garbage but this might be as a result of intensive use of SkTools and it's cleaning tools.
opera is a monster in device and iGO8 is the champion on my internal memory.
i'll take a better look in the evening.

Thanks for trying it out!
Yeah - I'm not handling the switch to landscape mode, however if you start the app while already in landscape mode it should be fine.
I'm using the HTC stock ROM in my Diamond so I'm not really sure how to disable TF3D and change into Landscape. However its fairly easy to change the code to handle the event and have it recalc for the new dimensions. Will put it in 1.1! Shouldn't take long
Cheers,
J.

thank you
will try this out on the rom im using when i get home later

Oh yeah - and something that is probably not obvious to everyone is that you can click on the folders to zoom-in and take a closer look at the folder contents.
Maybe I should underline the folder names or colour them blue or something ... Hmmm.. will have a think about that.

lol i already tried with no success! maybe because is too small (1/3 of the screen).
btw, disabling tf3d is easy. go to settings/personal/today/items and disable the tf3d like any other plug in . after that you''l have the "old" today screen.
go to settings/system/screen and rotate yr screen.
i did the above, rotate the screen and open yr app but again i got only 1/3 of the screen!

Thanks for telling me about the Setting->Today->Items. That did indeed turn off TF3D, but then on the Settings->System->Screen couldn't find the screen rotate thing. There are three tabs (Alignment, Clear Type, Text Size) - It is 1am here, perhaps it will be there in the morning.

i have 3 tabs also: general, clear type, text size.
on general you have on the top of the tab "orientation" with 2 options "portrait" and "landscape" and underneath you have "align screen".
ye, sure try again after a good sleep..lol
interesting that you have "alignment" and i have "general" containing "orientation" and "align screen". this is wm thing...why different?

Very nice app, thanks

Version 1.1 Support for orientation changing

Hmmm checked it again this morning but its still not there - HTC must have taken it out of their latest stock ROM (I'm on 1.93.831.1)
Oh well - I tested it in the emulator and new version (1.1) handles the orientation change fine now
Can you tell me if it works for you on your Diamond? 1.1 CAB is here
Cheers,
James.

Tried doing the rotation automatically using GSen with v1.1, rotates the screen and app fine but can take up to 15 to 20 seconds to rotate.

Could you try 2 scenarios for me?
- Start up the app and then rotate to landscape before doing a scan
- Start up the app, do a scan and let it render, then rotate.
If there is a major time difference in the time taken to rotate between these two scenarios, then the problem is something to do with MobileMonger. Otherwise it must be something else. Hmm.

J.

Did that and the screen and app rotate instantly.
- Start up the app, do a scan and let it render, then rotate.
Doing the above and it's a little quicker, but still takes and average of 10 secs to rotate once the results are displayed.

looks like a great tool , is this QVGA compatable ?
@ Jamzb ... does 3 have the Diamond on a plan or did u get urs from elsewhere ?

Yes - should be - I have DPI detection to change the font sizes up for devices less than 192 DPI ... i.e. 320x240. Obviously since there are less pixels the folder depth displayed can be less ... but on the up-side rendering is faster

I got mine pre-release from Hong Kong and since had a difficult time getting the official updated 1.93 stock ROM for it. (It came with 1.34!!!)
3 do not offer the Diamond as one of their supported phones, but I can tell you its works really well (Just have to get the URL for their Planet 3 service - which I have if you need it)
I'm on the $8(100MB) data plan and have push HTML email from Exchange 2007 enabled with full attachments - and it works very well. Small email takes 5 seconds from the time it hits exchange to then hit my phone.

Great little application ... thumbs up.

Made it to Portugal
Someone in Portugal likes it!
http://www.portalppc.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15506
via Babel Fish:
"This is a tool that allows it to visualize to the detail which the programs/filing-cabinets that are “to eat” the memory of its PDA. Without you doubt that this application is exactly impressive! to know more and to make download of this program, it consults the page of the programmer: http://wss.boman.biz/Pages/MobileMonger.aspx"
Hmm perhaps I'll have to add a Portugese language satellite assembly

Hi,
is there a way to include an overview about the RAM usage into this program?

[APP][UPD: 2008.12.10.1]Gyrator 2: Auto Screen Rotation for *ALL* HTC Diamonds

[size=+2]Now supports ALL HTC Diamond/HTC Diamond Pro variants![/size]
Gyrator has an advanced graphical configuration interface which can be used to create
thousands of combinations of events to suit every users needs. Windows can be excluded
from all events, or only some of them. Customisable sound events can be triggered, and
the device can be made to vibrate for any event. The keypad can be locked, the screen
can be turned off, or the entire device can be instructed to suspend.
There's alot more information, too much to display here, along with advanced information
and guides on the project website which can be found at: http://gyrator.brins0.net

Requirements:
- HTC Diamond / HTC Diamond Pro
- WM6+
- .NET Compact Framework v3.5
If you really like this program, and want to buy me a coffee, you can do so here
A big thanks to my beta tester "LucidObscurity" from the forums, who's helped me iron out some of the small bugs.
Also a big thanks to one of my kind users, "Kiekeboe100", for donating the webspace gyrator.brins0.net is hosted in.
Forum user "starbase64" has written a useful tutorial for German Gyrator users which can be found here: http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/windows_mobile_6_6_1_forum/54564-gyrator_screen_rotator.html

Doesn't rotate programs on the Touch Pro here, but it can somehow rotate the TouchFlo interface.

Same on HTC Diamond. Rotates main screen (messes up graphics for the icon tab) but still rotates it. Wont rotate anything else i tried so far.
Got an error 2 after few rotates

- Make sure you have the .NET Compact Framework v3.5 installed. It will work with 2.0, but can have issues (I've run my tests with 3.5)
Also, there are known issues with the touchflo interface. Normally screen rotation is completely disabled on the diamond to remove any possibilities of program messing up, so it's bound to cause issues i'm afraid. When I ran tests on my device, I didn't come across any errors, although I have completely removed TF3D from my diamond.
Can you try and make the error happen again, and record the steps you took to make it happen, as well as all the information the error window gives you, and i'll try and correct the problem.
Edit 1: Forgot to add that the library cannot retrieve orientation information on some devices with certain roms installed, but that's out of my control i'm afraid. It will affect all programs that rely on the "Sensors" sdk library.
Edit 2: Can you also tell me which roms (OS/Radio) you are using as well, as this will likely be related to the problem in some way (See Edit 1)

As I mentioned in a previous post, Manilla (Touch Flo 3D) is known to cause problems in non-portrait orientations...
The options are in the top of the right softkey menu, there's 3 of them:
Enable Rotation
Enable Sounds
Enable Images

Application is ver similar as gsen in regards to Telus Mobility Diamonds.
Rotation does not work except for within the programs list. Any where else (text messages, ie, etc) absolutely does not work
darn!

Yeah, i'm afraid that's a limitation of the library which has been made availabel to us. It Telus want to go and destroy the ROM/device, then unfortunately we have no control over it. It's like T-Mobile removing 64MB of the RAM when they changed the shell, it's only got 128MB now. I do wish I knew why companies like to bastardise perfectly good phones, then sell them on as if they were the same... It's quite insulting sometimes...

[2008/09/22] New version!
A new version has been released, so have added this post to bump the topic up.
This is a large update, and should be used instead of the older version as it confains various new options and features, as well as performance updates.
Link to information post concerning the updates, as well as download information.

Thanks for this mate,works like a charm.Tried the rotation out on most of my programs and it works flawlessly.My contacts rotate fine and the text message also,the text input even changes to full qwerty keyboard on rotation,amazing.

I've disabled TouchFlo 3D on my device, so unfortunately I can't get the window title/class for it, to add it to the blacklist. If you would be kind enough to find the class for it (i'm guessing the entire today screen) then it can be added to the configuration file for all to see.
I've added the "Applications.ini" file to my server for folk to download. this will be updated more frequently than the application, so keep an eye out for changes

I don't think it likes my Touch Pro. It works fine using File Explorer but that's it. After trying to test it out in the all settings and all programs menus it gives the error that Levka posted.

As previously stated, i'm afraid this is out of my control, although hopefully in the near future, the library will be improved, and will be able to deal with these "different" devices. As soon as support has been improved, i'll be sure to include it in my latest build.

[2008/09/23] New version!
A new version has been released, so have added this post to bump the topic up.
This is only a small update which adds a few new features and improvements.
Link to information post concerning the updates, as well as download information.

hope this works for Sprint ROM?

i liek this app and wish i could use it. im on a telus device.
Hit me up if you want anything to help out on getting this to work on telus/sprint devices i have all the rom files and can make reg dumps.

how is the power consumption if i may ask?
awesome app tho, gonna try it today

I have some question...
1)Framework v3.5 is 35MB...need I install Framework v3.5(35MB) to my diamond...because my diamond free space only 40 MB....
2)install Framework v3.5 via ActiveSync?

jpl69 said:
Just to confirm this (in my case).
The issue about crashing gyrator, changescreen, flip-it and whatever sensor app after making a call with topaz dialer it's because this enabled option by default.

Gyrator is a great app... with a load of functions but I found that I didn't really use any of them except the screen tilt/Gsensor function.
That said one of the problems I had with Gyrator is that it always stayed in my open apps which is not THAT big a deal, but would just annoy the crap out of my OCD brain!
Anyway I decided to make a different version for myself and anyone else who JUST wants the Screen tilt function.
This appliaction will:
- allow you to stop and start the screen switch as you please
- start up with your device if desired
- allow exceptions (Opera is an exception by default because it already uses the Gsensor)
* I recommend if you use Tomtom to add that in a well (to avoid the screen switching when you hit a bump!)
- NOT show up in the running programs list! (Most important thing to me!)
- You also do NOT need to install .NETCF 3.5 to use this. It should run fine on 2.0!
Version 2.5
Download changeScreen version v2.5 here!
Version 2.1 is still available if 2.5 doesn't work for some reason
Download changeScreen version v2.1 (2) here!
The BETA is still available if 2.1 doesn't work for some reason
Download changeScreen.cab v2.1 BETA here!
Version 1.54 is still available for those of you who like the older version better!
Download changeScreen.cab v1.54 here

thanx for sharin this man...ill try it out

ok I really like this app. I have it setup with rotate only apps in the exceptions list. (word, excel, outlook, sms, notes, internet explorer, skyfire, rescoe explorer 2007, splash id)
the phone app on incoming call works perfectly this way. face down mute still works. If I am in landscape in outlook and a call comes in the incoming call screen will pop up in portrait. if I face down the phone the phone mutes. (gyrator would not do this and has issues with the incoming call screen on my NA diamond)
the rotate is also very speedy. definitely usable. much faster than the stock opera rotation for sure. although this app still does not affect the opera function because I believe it ignores it as a default. (album, and teeter ignored as default as well I believe)
I will run it for a few days and see how the battery drain is. how is this on the raphael in terms of battery drain?
(my diamond has netCF3.5 installed, so I did not test the use under netCF 2)
***bug 1- bug on my diamond is when using advance setting with "rotate only apps in exception" list manila rotates after hitting volume up down side key while the "system volume" window is in focus under manila.

Whoa... good catch! This issue has been fixed. Redownload version 1.52 from the 1st thread! Thanks!
btw - I havent noticed any "out of the ordinary" battery drain while developing. Nobody in the Raphael forums has mentioned anything either...
Also, if you remove opera from the list it should try to rotate opera as well. Same thing with teeter and album...

*one bug that your app shares with gyrator2 is that if your app is run under the standard config (with opera, teeter, album listed as exceptions) the "incoming phone call" focus window will not mute the ring on face down. the work around for me is to run your app with your advanced config of apps listed for rotation.
but great app. it seems very stable and fast on the rotations.

Checking "auto startup" gives me an error ("Error creating shortcut") after i press "save"..

Thank you sir, application is great and yet easy to work with

Excellent, though if I wanted to prevent 180 degree mode, which I've ticked, nothing really happens . In my experience G-nes and Flip It were too sensitive. This is near enough perfect.
Another oddity is that it doesn't work with my Manila (I have landscape there with the particular ROM that I'm on). It just doesn't tilt. Anyone else experience that?

With gyrator or gsen, when i go into messaging tab and rotate to landscape mode, the phone always spazzes out and return back to TF3D home screen!!1 Does this app solve this problem or is still very possible??

what phone are you using? on touch diamond for me it works great. sms and outlook rotate fast. (1.53 seems the same as 1.52 for me)

very nice application. i tried on my htc diamond and it's working nice and fast.
one exception, i can't disable touchflo from rotating. i have tried "touchflo" "touchflo3d" and "manila". nothing help, it continue rotating.
thank's and keep the good work.

Yeah, I included manilla NOT to rotate by default... Reson being that when my app rotates the manilla screen it becomes distorted on the right hand side. Can you check for me if it will rotate correctly on your ROM? If you go into the advanced option menu and check the box that says "Only rotate applications in my exception list" and add "start" to the exceptions list. This will set the app to ONLY rotate manilla. Then see if it rotates correctly or if it distorts in your ROM as well...
When "Always allow 180 degree rotation" is checked, it will allow the exception applications to rotate 180 degrees. When it is unchecked it will not allow any rotation in the exception applications.

Is it rotating to landscape or just reverse portrait? If its only reverse portrait you can uncheck the box that says "Always allow 180 degree rotations" and it should solve it. If not try using the "Show app names" button and see what it says while you are on the home screen.

Are you using an English (US) ROM? Someone else reported tihs issue as well and im working on it now... Can you tell me that path to your Startup folder?
Yeah, I included manilla NOT to rotate by default... Reson being that when my app rotates the manilla screen it becomes distorted on the right hand side. Can you check for me if it will rotate correctly on your ROM? If you go into the advanced option menu and check the box that says "Only rotate applications in my exception list" and add "start" to the exceptions list. This will set the app to ONLY rotate manilla. Then see if it rotates correctly or if it distorts in your ROM as well...
When "Always allow 180 degree rotation" is checked, it will allow the exception applications to rotate 180 degrees. When it is unchecked it will not allow any rotation in the exception applications.
Is it rotating to landscape or just reverse portrait? If its only reverse portrait you can uncheck the box that says "Always allow 180 degree rotations" and it should solve it. If not try using the "Show app names" button and see what it says while you are on the home screen.

I have the D2 sensor intalled so do I still need flip it?

Nothing new here or am I missing something Averma?
Bepe's excellent Gnes.dll and Alphazeros and swtos equally excellent FlipIt front end for it have been around for nearly six months now. I even did a tut for it way back then.
How to Make FlipIt (GNES mod) and LandscapeManila work
I do think Flip_IT_by_WildBerry_Team.cab has been under reported and is one of the most useful rotation utilities around for the diamond. Many of the recent Roms already have landscape manila included and sdkcerts disabled.
So for any users who are after simply wanting Landscape manila I would recommend simply adding FlipIt first. You might find that is all you need to do if you are already running a recent cooked ROM. This has been the case with pretty well all the ROMs I have used in the past few months. If you are using a stock ROM on the other hand you may need to follow the three steps mentioned by averma because the landscape manila will probably be missing.
Now that a fair bit of water has gone under the bridge I wonder if we can persuade the Wildberry guys with Bepes approval to do a tiny bit more work on FlipIt. A better icon maybe and one or two other minor tweaks.

you can try installing everything but Flip it and see if it works, if not as far as i know Flip it is different from other Gsensor apps because it doesn't actually landscape the phone, it instead emulates the touchpro's keyboard sliding out (causing the screen to landscape)
remember to post your experience, if it worked, and if any errors anywhere incase i need to update

I just tried, CANNOT use without flip it and only with gryator 2.
i just wonder is that a Music tab available for the landscape mode? maybe need to wait for the one from touchpro2 ...
Very good! this is exactly what I want! many thanks!

Ya I'm putting this up for anyone using a stock or cooked rom without Landscape support. I realize this has been around for some time now but it was fairly hard to find.
The main reason I'm doing this as well is the files floating around became so dated, the old files for this are just painfully slow, and most people have to either resort to that or do it themselves, also this doesn't void warranty (as its just a cab files = no Hard SPL required)
This version is built off of the latest official TouchPRO rom I could find. I'm running an older 2.0 I cooked myself because i like the reliability and stability of it But because these are pulled from a 2.03 equivalent touchpro rom I noticed a massive speedbost in scrolling and just overall better performance (not to mention landscape ).
Basically what i'm saying is this will be useful for people who don't SPL or people who are running a slower version of manila (or whoever wants it)
Also... THEEEEMEESSSS !!! lol

Fair enough. The Slide White Theme looks nice by the way. Might try start a dedicated FlipIt thread as well, because like you say - it is hard to find and it probably warrants one given how useful it is.

the FLIT_IT is actually different from G-config/Diamond2 Gsensor & Gyrator 2! Only Flip_it work with the touchPRO landscape manila & the landscape incoming call.
Is it because it emulate KEYBOARD OUT as well?
The only problem of FLIP_IT is that I cannot toggle / turn it off temporary ....

CDMA Touch diamond landscape
It works great on the cdma version of the touch diamond. Flip it is required for it to work, i think flip is a great program to use for screen rotation for the touch diamond....

Is it possible to use this landscape mode instead of the default one in the Rhodium manila vga port?

Error screen
When I try to install the UDA file, It installs about halfway, then says insufficient system permissions.

hey great app! really looking forward to themes

This is really cute and all but I was wondering if this is available for the Sprint HTC Touch Pro and also if it's possible for me to keep my Sprint theme ('cause I really think it's cute with all of the neon colors the Sprint theme has [This theme is cute too but black and white would make my phone look utterly dull]) but still have TouchFlo 3D enabled on my device?
Oh and does anyone know how to activate landscape mode on messages?
It's pretty stupid how the on-screen keyboard is enabled when you pull out the keyboard.
Thanks

This should be able to install on any diamond/pro (Justin41689 confirmed working on CDMA)
the theme would probably have to be reinstalled, i think its available here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=489531
as for your landscape keyboard problem you can try the attached PQzII cab. (can't remember where i got it) but it enables a different SIP on portrait and a different SIP on landscape.
you could probably set your regular keyboard for portrait, and a null keyboard for landscape > solving your popup keyboard problem
Also you probably won't need flip it if your using the keyboard to rotate the screen. but it you want autorotate with G-sensor then it is required

Averma, how can I buy you a beer/coffee/donate whatever??!! You just fixed the annoying problem I have had with my Fuze since upgrading the stock ROM to the new HTC ROM! Landscape icons were white blocks and would freeze like that when you went back to portrait. Did your install, reinstalled themes and BANG! Perfectly working Fuze (although that's a bit of an oxymoron).
Thanks!

[APPS] hAndySoftware - Rhodium Tweaks and Utilities (hAndyPowerButton Added)

For CABs See Post #2
Added hAndyPowerButton WM6.1
Updated hAndyNotify to install in hAndySoftware folder.
Added hAndyPowerButton - WM6.5 ONLY
Over the last couple of months I have written a number of tweaks, using Mortscript, for my TP2 to enhance it's use for me personally.
The story to date are the following bits and pieces I have created -
DPB v1.1 - A utility to disable the power button when the keyboard is open
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=546094&highlight=disable+power+button
Hide Folder - A utilty to hide folders from HTC Album
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548841&highlight=hide+folder
hAndyFlip - A utility to turn off the screen when the device is face down.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=560206&highlight=handyflip
hAndyUtils - A number of utilities and tweaks I use, wrapped together including some of the above.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=553784
So why this new thread, you may ask
I have decided to split the tweaks/utilities into seperate packages and rewrite them all as standalone packages. You can then pick and mix which, if any, you may find useful.
I am no expert, so it makes it easier for me to fix an individual app if something is wrong rather than trying to fix several things at once.
The one tweak that I could not do without is the disabling of those annoying BT Notifications. So that is the first one I have worked on and you can find the program in Post #2.
I will be working through the other tweaks one at a time and hopefully finding new tweaks and utilities that enhance our devices. So in advance thanks for your patience.
I will continue to listen to feedback and offer any help I can on the threads above until I have posted the updated apps on here.

Apps - start here..............
hAndyNotify
This little app allows you to disable the annoying BT Notifications when you connect/disconnect the device.
Run the app select the option you would like from the dropdown box and press 'Process'.
Hopefully, it's as simple as that !
CAB at the bottom of this post.
hAndyPowerButton - WM6.5
Added hAndyPowerButton WM6.1 Version
This app disables the power button when the hardware keyboard is open.
Run the app select activate - soft reset and the power button will be deactivated when you open the keyboard. Also, the device will be set to any key power on should it fall to sleep.

Thanks for this; annoying is definitely the word for these notifications!
Does the application need to be re-run after a soft-reset, or do the changes persist?

It should persist after a soft reset.

I have now added hAndyPower button that disables the power button when the keyboard is open. I have also changed hAndyNotify to install in the same folder on the start menu.

@dahoarty
many many thanks for disabling this damn notification
i like it so much
You are the best Thanks

I have just uploaded a version of hAndyPowerButton for WM6.1 Devices.

I tried hAndyPowerButton 6.1 and, initially, all was well, but then I managed to get into a state where the power button didn't work at all (open or closed).
No bother, I'll just remove the app and reboot, I thought.
Sadly, after a soft reset I'm getting various warnings about the handyPowerButton executable not being found and the power button is still not working - I'm getting an error about "Sleep" cannot be found.
Any ideas?
Update
I managed to recover the power button by reinstalling hAndyPowerButton, enabling it and soft resetting a couple of times. Is there an "official" way to uninstall this, though?

Hi, sorry this does not seem to work for you. I am using WM6.5 and it works perferctly for me not sure why you have had a problem.
A small bug I will look into is that you possible need to deactivate the software in the program before you uninstall.
The way to fix the problem is delete hAndyPoweButton.exe from \windows\startup - also check that the following 2 links short_power.lnk and long_power.lnk are not in \windows if they are you need to delete them manually.
Apologies for causing you problems if you need any more info please let me know.
Andy

Thanks very much for the response and there's no need to apologise. I appreciate all the time and effort the contributors to xda-devs put in and understand that what works for one person may not work for me; it's just part of the fun!
I like the function provided by hAndyPowerButton, so I think I'll give it another try and will let you know if I see problems again.
Thanks for all your apps!
Ed

i didnt even notice you updated and renamed the DPB to handy power button.
how does this one differ from the older version? i didnt see much info on it in the thread. i use DPB only 4 the fact it has the no timeout (keep kb lights on) when kb open.
thanks

I'm probably the only dumbass who tried to install this awesome utility to the card, but I'll just note for the record that you MUST install it to the device.

Hey, we are both dumbasses. Thanks for posting that little detail

Great app, just what I was looking for.
Unbelievable that no one at HTC realized that the placement of the power button would interfere when a normal persons hand when the hardware keyboard is in use.
You'd think they test these things a bit more!

hAndyNotify for other HTC Windows Mobile 6.5 phones?
Apologies if this is the wrong thread. I recently upgraded my HTC Ozone (Verizon's variant of the HTC Snap keyboard-style phone) to Windows Mobile 6.5. An annoying new "feature" is that when you turn off your Bluetooth car kit, a notification appears telling you to put the phone to your ear, and you can't do anything else until you dismiss the notification (OK on left softkey.) I could understand the notification if Bluetooth dropped in the middle of a call, but otherwise it's just a pain.
It appears that hAndyNotify.cab might be just what I need, however it also appears that it's designed for touchscreen phones (running Windows Mobile Pro). For example, it references a "Sounds and Notifications" section of Settings, but I don't have such a section, only "Sounds". Does anyone know if (a) will it work on my phone, (b) if I try it, will it hurt anything, and (c) is there any other way to fix the problem? (In other threads there is another registry hack, but it also seems to be for touchscreen phones.)
Thanks for your help!

Thank you thank you thank you!
... for getting rid of that retarded bluetooth message! You are da man!
Roccobass

Will this app (handy power button) work with cdma phones, it should right? Same operating system just key mapping. Thanks in advance.

Touch Pro2 Icon
Thanks for the app, very useful.
I didn't really like the icon, so I made a new one (can be changed using JWMD Icon Changer).
