Hi
(1)
I dont like annoying sound of opening/closing Start menu or choosing a menui item. To avoid it, I have to uncheck "Events (warning, system events)" item in Sounds&Notifications screen. However then I miss sound of warnings and system events I guess. How to disable sound for Start menu only?
(2)
When I ActiveSync with Exchange, ActiveSync keeps synchronizing endlessly. Its status is "Looking for changes", then "Synchronizing" and the same again and again without any limit. I just synchronize emails from Outlook folders. No matter if "DirectPush" or "Synchronize during"="When new items arrive" is turned on/off.
(3)
On the forums, BatteryStatusExt1.04.cab is being distributed. It doesn't work. I wonder what the file actually is. Original BatteryStatus tool has another filename and version as well.
(4)
smsOrganizer needs to activate using code from authors web. If you make a mistake (thats what I PROBABLY did), it will never run, even after reinstalling. Not nice. I can just wonder in what file or regkey the author stores the key:/
(5)
htCustom tool (tested version 1.4 and 1.5) completely not functional, throwing exceptions everywhere.
(6)
Any plugins to see Herald files in FAR manager (preferable) or Total Commander?
(7)
Any idea how to import VCF containing more items (not just one)? Seems Windows and Nokias have this problem. I already splitted one big VCF to 300 small VCFs and wonder how I'm going to import them. Clicking on them will take years..
(8)
My VCFs which Im going to import contain more mobile phones. Windows generally doesnt support it. In the address book, there is no option to add new field like on Symbians. How do you solve this situation? What do you do if you want to store more mobile phones? Of course lot of people have more mobile phones!
(x)
Why you use Rapidshare to store files? Please don't support those ****!
Great phone anyways. I dont care about money and this is the best phone I could find. Nasty size, high stability (wow, no single crash), fast synchronization, freaky keyboard (with sym.txt to be easily altered). Very happy with it
any hints??
Well i got you a hint for the last point (rapidshare):
Use http://www.xirror.com
Uploads all your files to 4 Sharedhoster automatically.

and some xda-dev user made an own host for the xda community. I don´t remember the mirror at the moment. But i will search.
no thanks, I actually DONT want to support ANY of filehosting services. I strictly say NO to making business from sharing files. Use torrents or whatever instead.
any help for other points (except 3 which I found out why)?
more points
what i found negative also is
- alarm can use only WAV files (no chance to wake up)
- M$ formats forced (WMAs everywhere, no details about MP3 songs in Info)
- regurarly, when i type with hw keyboard, arrows stop to work
- sometimes storage card disappears (+ had "StorageCard2" problem)
- low quality loudspeaker, people just cant hear me
- use a program
- use coreplayer
- not true
- not true

- ok im using a huge slow tool now, just to set the system scheduler...
- no problem
- true, even with remote control from Windows desktop, arrows stop working after some typing
- true, every morning, my scheduled events dont happen because the storage card is missing. but actually i see it's working, even if the drive is not corrupted (also happens sometimes)
- true, very bad speaker and microphone. loudspeaker is screaming and you actually dont hear voice. also people hear twice. also people dont hear you well generally. also, even with quietspeaker, people can hear you properly.
To your first problem I think all you have to do is uncheck screen taps. I had the same problem with activesync also. The problem turned out to be my firewall. Had to turn it off in order for the device to sync even if i set a permission first.
And if your still using WM5 I found this in the wiki:
Improve Sound Quality of Speaker Phone
You might have observed that when you turn on speaker while during a call, the other person has complained of too much disturbance on the line and can hear more of static then your voice. Here's a fix to improve mic sensitivity:
HKLM\Software\HTC\AUDIOGAIN(x)\RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME = CC (DWORD hexadecimal)
HKLM\Software\HTC\AUDIOGAIN(x)\EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME = CC (DWORD hexadecimal)
where (x) = none, 0, 1, 2
You can find most of the reg edits from HTCustom and just do em yourself.

Heres the actual e-mail pertaining to the activesync problem. This can also be found on the Microsoft Website.
Good afternoon
We are aware of the HTC P4350 memory card corruption problem Farooq. We believe that Windows Mobile 6 will fix this issue that you are experiencing. We are expecting this update to be available for download through the HTC eClub on our website at the end of July.
With regards to your ActiveSync problem, there are many things which could be causing active sync to not synchronise
with your computer. One possible cause could be your anti-virus software and
your firewall.
To solve firewall issues, please open up your firewall program and navigate to
the exceptions section. Here you can set the firewall to allow certain programs
and ports. You will need to make sure your firewall is set to "allow
exceptions", then in the allowed programs list you will need to have four
programs related to active sync allowed. the filenames are as follows, however
they may be called different names in this list.
wcesmgr.exe
wcescomm.exe
rapimgr.exe
astu.exe
Also you will need to allow the following ports:
Inbound TCP
990
999
5678
5721
26675
Outbound UDP
5679
Once these ports and programs have been added to the exception list, you should
find that Active Sync will now work with your computer. If you are still
experiencing problems, then try disabling your anti-virus software as this can
sometimes conflict with Active Sync. If you still cannot synchronise then
please phone our call centre and one of our agents can troubleshoot your setup
with you in order to solve this issue.
Thank you for your enquiry, Should you have any other problem, please do not hesitate to call us. Your Local number can be found at http://www.europe.htc.com/support/csbyphone.html
Best regards,

Hope that helps.
neptune, thank you very much for your reply. i have fixed most of my issues (they start with √).
(1) of course i have "screen tap" off, but Start menu still beeps loudly!
(2) √ FIXED somehow the problem disappeared - maybe by altering AllowLSP reg value, which was required to route internet from home PC to PPC.
(3) √ FIXED
(4) √ OBSOLETE - i dont care, will not search for some registry key to use the tool
(5) √ OBSOLETE still crashing - will not use the tool. I use ASergOptimize pack instead.
(6) would like to know. I heard TC plugin exists.
(7) √ OBSOLETE: i did it manually. it was really complicated job with lot of hacks, using regexp search/replace and manual import of all contacts one by one. I wish I never change platform again...
(8) √ OBSOLETE: again lot of hacking, I mapped Symbian fields to funny Outlook fields (e.g. "Mobile 2" -> "Car", "Mobile 3" -> "Radio")
(a) √ OBSOLETE I will use some tool. (I hate using separate tool for alarm. Why Windows doesnt have normal one.. I tried Gentimer tool, very slow one, crashing my phone on each event!)
(b) √ OBSOLETE - will use some tool
(c) BIG PROBLEM 1 arrows!!!
(d) BIG PROBLEM 2 morning schedules!!!
(e) wow thanks for this, will try it
overall, transfer from Symbian to Windows is not easy... a lot of work I had to do... however I feel much happier with it.
one note: interestingly, i find WM programs to be very small and take very small memory!
I sometimes had the same problem with the arrow keys on the keyboard.
Maybe you can fix the problem temporary if you switch to the Todayscreen and back again to your application where you type. For me this fixed it most of the time.
Dont know if i only was lucky because i did not got the problem often.

I get this problem very often, basically when I type any SMS and that's not acceptable.. It can happen several times when writing one SMS. That's toooo much. I want it to be fixed somehow..
never encountered a keyboard problem such as this in the past. If you havent tried changing the keyboard then i'm not sure what it is.
never had any of the issues written about here with my p4350
either with wm5 or wm6
maybe I have missed something, but have you guys tried the wm5 ruu update for p4350? (http://www.brightpoint.com/Brightpo...HTC_NOR_5.4.409.2_4.1.13.34_02.79.90_Ship.exe)
thats a norwegian ruu, but im sure you can get it from your provider..or wait for the wm6
sorry if im stating the obious here
Hi, I'm a developer wanting to write an app/today plugin. Do you have any request?
Yea I've wanted this for long time and hope you make it for me. Program that like the watch beep or vibrate 30 min or hour and not turn the screen on?? so I can tell time without pulling the phone out.
Thanks for the opportunity, I was thinking about asked here.
Today plug in for Last call and Running Program as in O2 Plus. Both are nice features of O2 Plus but sadly hacked version has lot of issues to run on wizard and it's big prog to install only for those plugins. Thanks.

I'd love an app that would allow you to get notifications of email that goes into folders other than inbox. Currently, there's no way to do that, and there are no rules you can set like in desktop Outlook to inform you when a message goes into one of those folders.
Hi Kartam, I use claunch, you can see it in my avatar there, I would love to be able to finger scroll the launch icons to the left or the right to quickly get to all my apps, configurable icon size of course. Outside of the today screen a finger friendly file browser is definitely waiting for development, something that has the look and feel of pocketCM but shows your files instead of your contacts, complete with favourites and filters for stuff like music videos or documents. It should also allow users to set a default action on selecting any given item.
funger friendly alarm clock?
Hi,
how about an alarm clock with numbers like a telephone pad, so you can easily type in the wake up time (regular cell phones allow this). I tried all sorts of commercial products, they are not good (snowtime, spb time, etc...)
Or how about a modern version od "pPod"? :-D
Good luck with all your programs!!

Mine's rather Simple!!!!
...or at least I think it it should be.
All I want is an app (preferably that sits on the today screen) that can toggle the network selection between automatic, roam only, and home only.
Sometimes I need to roam to hold a proper signal, and in those places I like switching my phone to "roam only". Then, when going home, I switch it back to automatic network selection. Problem is that this is buried in many menus and takes several clicks to switch. Its a pain to do this 2x a day.
what do you think?
I actually think you may be able to do that with MortScript, I could've sworn I saw a script that did something similar on HoFo or another forum with one that did almost exactly what you described, but it might've been the WiFi radio in conjunction with a GPS puck...or something
I have multiple application using GPRS. My problem is that all those application are not using tha same APN (not sure of the name, I mean different GPRS connections). Each time I need to use one application or another I need to go to the parameters, change my setting click multiple times on OK.
It would be great (at least for me) to have an application on the today screen which permit to select the correct APN.

What a great age we live in when a completely touch screen digital music player is not considered as modern!
Haha, you got a point there, touché :-D
What i meant was a more modern pPod skin (maybe more skins to choose from...?), a playlist manager of some sort (so you dont have to browse through all kins of folders until you find your mp3s), slightly bigger buttons, ....
I love the design and the simplicity of the pPod though, just a little tweaking would be cool. And yes, i did also try mortplayer and HTC audiomanager, both great programs, but both programs are too big for just playing music (in my opinion)
Actually a great program would just be a hack to have HTC Audio Manager use the ID3 Number tags to sort music instead of Alphabetical
Re the new ppod program - that'd be great - I've been refreshing the iphone media player thread like nothing on earth - cant wait to see what that turns out like... the HTC hack would be good tho.

Hi!
You can make a little program for me??
Here you can find a little CAB http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=49265&d=1188921933
They copy to the Windows folder a little executable, copy into StartUp folder a shortcut to it, and add few registry-entries....
Well, this program don't have any interface, simple start when device start...
The target is "improove" the quality of A2DP transmission (audio over bluetooth)
BUT, when this service running, the battery quickll drain!!
You can make a simple app (like a GUI) to enable/disable it??
To enable = write few registry-entries and copy a shortcut to the StartUp folder, then softreset the device
To disable = remove the same registry-entries and remove the shortcut from the StartUp folder, then softreset the device
Can you create an application that will let my Hermes roam the floor vacuuming!?
a2dp stereo auto enable
can you write (or is there out there) an app which enables the a2dp pairing with a bt headset so the stereo is enabled by default when the headset re-establishes a connection.
currently (for me) if i turn loose the pairing, ie if I charge the headset, then turn the headset back on for a2dp. I have to run the bt settings in control panel and click 'set as wireless stereo' on the headset.
note the phone headset is enabled straight away when it is powered up.
thanks

Hi
I'm to receive my new Trinity in two weeks (Family member bringing from US). Will be my fitst PPC, Mostly used as Cellular under Partner. I'm looking for reading material about Trinity. Been surfing the forum for the last few days and must admit I understand very little.
Where do I find "How To", prefferably where they say what all the abriviations (SSPL etc') meen.
Thanks
P.S. The saga continues.
did you seen this site? http://trinityguides.info/
Thanks Thout, will start with here FAQs
have fun with your new phone
OK now
That trinityguide.info is great.
Now that I've "succssefully-virtually-upgraded" my Hard-SPL and Radio and may even have upgraded to a WM6 ROM.
HOW DO (did) I CHOOSE WHICH VERSION I WANT (wanted)? Do (did or maybe, will) I need WM6? After all, I was happy with my Windows98 for a very long time.
I guess I'll read about those ROM versions soon enough, but still, I'm not here to reinvent the wheel, I just want good, mainstream, state-of-the-art programs for my beloved-to-be (I'm sure) Trinity.
Also, what's this about 4/6/8GB MicroSD cards? My biggest fear was being stuck with a 2GB music player, I was thinking about waiting for the N95 8GB (sacrelige?).
And how about high-speed cards (Ultra, UltraII, x60, x80, ec')? Now, that I spend so much on a 8GB card might as well buy a fast one, who has time to wait for 8GBs to upload...
tnx in advance and sorry for the spelling mist.
If I may borrow your topic and ask you... how do you set up an mp3 ow whatever for an alarm ringtone? There are only a few beepings available when taping the bell...
Thanks,
Peter
noob to noob
This is from the HTC website.
I guess you can chose stage 3 from "new text messege" to "alarm".
How do I add an MP3 file to my PDA phone and use it as my SMS alert?
1. Copy the MP3 file from your computer using the USB sync connection (via ActiveSync® or Windows Mobile Device Center) to the \Windows folder on your PDA phone.
2. Tap Start > Settings > Personal tab > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications tab.
3. In the Event list, scroll down and select Messaging: New text message.
4. Make sure the Play sound option is selected. Tap the drop-down list box next to this option, then scroll up or down the list of sounds and select the MP3 file that you copied to your device.
5. Tap OK.
Good luck
I have to admit that I am overwelmed with all of the info regarding the xv6800. I just got mine this past Friday. I have not activated it yet although I did have Verizon transfer my contacts from my Moto E815. I am holding off activating until I learn more about the phone.
The feature that attracted me the most about the phone was the WiFi capabilities. I do not plan on getting the data plan. I do not know how to find out if the phone has Win Mobile 6.1. I would like to have it serve as a GPS.
Some questions:
If I am at Win 6.0 should I upgrade?
Is anyone aware of ant tutorials on using the phone and O/S ?
Is there a way to activate GPS by basically down / uploading a program and clicking on it?
What applications would be best? I plan on surfing, web-mailing, listening to music, working with the office applications.
Is there any "must have" hardware I should get?
Thanks and I appologize it my questions seem very basic but as I said, I am overwhelmed.
Nelson
1 not until you understand what the phone has to offer stick with 6.0
2 not me
3 yes but phone must be unlocked gpstoday and baf gps toggle are the best for me
4 surfing=skyfire music=s2p
5 screen protector
A
didnt it come with an interactive cd with a tutorial? mine did :S
if you are interested in musicand watching video you should definitly get the slunkworks flash bundle and tcpmp media player so you can goto you tube and watch streaming videos the way it should be done on mobile
i have uploaded the files for you if you are interested...install tcpmp first then the flash bundle,,if you need assistance let me know or search for "cab instyallation"
last about your GPS there has been people saying they have gotten it to work through google maps but it requires rom flashing first...but like GeLoPeZ said get to know your stock rom first...maybe youll like it
flaws
the fone does have a few flaws tho...the youchscreen is pointless wen it comes to small icons or scrolling...unless u want to get out your stylus everytime
it can be slow at times but nothing a little registry edit cant help out with a little...
almost everything has to be manually shut off or closed through running programs screen likr data connection etc,,,unless you get a few programs that can stop that hassel
the touch keyboard isnt worth anything its awful...unless, like i said you want to keep getting out your stylus
cant customize text message ringtones with custom ringtones
in all...most all these things can be fixed thgrough rom flashing or free downloadable apps and cabs i give it an 8 out of 10
hope i was helpful

FTouchSL fixes that issue. There's a free version somewhere on this forum, but for a little over 10 bucks (USD), it's worth it to get the commercial (kinetic scrolling!).

You can.... Start > Settings > Sounds and Notifications
From the "Event" menu, select "Messaging: New Text Message" and select the tone you want.
I think the OP was saying that you cant "Assign" a specific "tone" to a user. Just a tone for all incoming texts.
I might be off base......but I don't think so.
this is to enhance your phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2526683 try it

Yes you should. There is really no reason not to. Just remember that flashing the new ROM will delete all of your data, so back it up first.
6.1 is useful for a variety of reasons:
1. You can solve your GPS problem by doing it (see below)
2. It has a task manager built in
3. It has Remote Access built in (so if you need to connect with your work desktop, it's nice to have it....you can go and load RA anyways with 6.0, but it doesn't come with it)
4. Has some better screens for managing connections (IMO).
Is anyone aware of ant tutorials on using the phone and O/S ?

Not only is there a CD that came with your phone, but there is a Getting Started application in the Pgorams folder of your phone. Did you buy this phone second hand?
Is there a way to activate GPS by basically down / uploading a program and clicking on it?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Why yes there is! Only recently some amazing devs on this forum (skywing) devised an amazingly simple process for activating internal GPS. I just did it last night and it took literally 3 minutes to do and I now have Live Search, Google Maps, Amaze, and two other GPS based apps running on it.
Refer to this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424387
There are a lot of posts in that forum, but the upshot is either do the very simple manual install mentioned in the first post (I did it, I am no expert, took me 3 minutes) or go to near the end and look for the URL of the wiki that has the latest one click cab files to install.
What applications would be best? I plan on surfing, web-mailing, listening to music, working with the office applications.
Is there any "must have" hardware I should get?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I use Skyfire to browse the web. It is comparable to the iphone browser and it works great. It is in beta, but so far I have only encoutnered a few websites that freak out on it (e.g. www.projectgutenberg.org).
For music, I like pocketmusic 5.1, a freeware app from Pocketmind. It only does mp3 files 9the shareware version does all file types) but it has a great touch friendly skin and nicely shuts off the phone but still plays music to save battery power. It works with my bluetooth headphones seemlessly. Only issue is that while active it commandeers your hard buttons, so if you want to use the hard buttons on the phone for other than music control you have to quit the app.
Other nice apps (I won't list them all!):
1. Total Commander in place of File Explorer. Allows you to have two windows open and drag and drop files.
2. Vade Mecum is a plucker reader that I use to read ebooks on my phone.
3. Live Search and Google Maps are an absolute must.
4. I like Icontact (Burt's version) which you can find on these forums. It is a finger friendly contact program that works wonderfully.
5. I dig Youtube player. You don't need it with Skyfire, but I like it for playing files I download off of youtube. It will search youtube and play video directly or download it in .flv format for later playing. Useful to save the clips I watch a lot (Monty Python sketches, Weird Al videos, etc.) on my phone.
Those are the biggies, IMO.

Hay all,
I'm new to using an HTC "Have The Blackstone" I got the phone yesterday and love it.
But I have a few questions I cant find an answer too in the manual.
1. Can I changed the sound of the Alarm (Alarm Clock Sound)?
2. Can I change the Text Message recieve sound?
3. In contact if I copy the contacts from the SIM is there a way to only show the contacts
on the handset and not on both the SIM & Hadnset? (like on the Nokia Phones)
4. If I buy games from Handango.com will they work on my handset & how do I installl them, active sinc?
(UK Handset)
5. I've seen a Blackstone running Spore that was ment for a Diamond, I presume sofware for the Diamond is
compatable with the blackstone?
6. I know in some cases you need to go in to the windows folder, how do I get this up?
7.Is there any apps I should use?
Any help would be great
Thanks

Have you actually read the manual? Did you read the wiki? Did you search at all before posting this thread? Did you read the forum rules?
EDIT
As this is your first post so I've decided to help you this time only!!
1. Can I changed the sound of the Alarm (Alarm Clock Sound)? Yes, Go to Settings > Personal > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications > Event
2. Can I change the Text Message recieve sound? Yes, Go to Settings > Personal > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications > Event
3. In contact if I copy the contacts from the SIM is there a way to only show the contacts
on the handset and not on both the SIM & Hadnset? (like on the Nokia Phones) Yes, Can be done different ways. One way is through 3rd party apps like HDTweak (See attached file). Can be done other ways but depends on what rom your using
4. If I buy games from Handango.com will they work on my handset & how do I installl them, active sinc? Check compatibility before purchase and check apps thread in wiki. They can be installed either by activesync using .exe format or direct from phone using .cab, but you will most like need sync to get this onto phone first anyhow
5. I've seen a Blackstone running Spore that was ment for a Diamond, I presume sofware for the Diamond is compatable with the blackstone? Not all software between phones is compatible....CHECK FIRST!!
6. I know in some cases you need to go in to the windows folder, how do I get this up? Use file explorer which came preinstalled on phone. Its just like windows exlpoer on your pc. Windows folder is basically /windows similar to c:\windows on your pc. I've added 2 better file explorers for you to use (Total Commander & File Explorer 2)
7.Is there any apps I should use? Yes, again check wiki and apps recommended
1. Can I changed the sound of the Alarm (Alarm Clock Sound)?
A: Yes, from the Home screen tap the clock and select the Alarms tab. Tap on the "Bell" icon, on the next screen you'll see a drop-down list of all the sounds you can play. If you copy a .wav to the Windows directory on your device it should also show up in the list.
2. Can I change the Text Message recieve sound?
A: Yes, From the Home screen tap Start > Settings. Tap Sounds and Notifications. Tap on the Notifications tab. From the Event Drop-Down list select Messaging: New text message. Select the sound you want to play. If you copy a .wav to the Windows\Rings directory on your device it should also show up in the list.
3. In contact if I copy the contacts from the SIM is there a way to only show the contacts
on the handset and not on both the SIM & Hadnset? (like on the Nokia Phones)
A: Not sure as I always keep all my contacts on the phone and none in the SIM.
4. If I buy games from Handango.com will they work on my handset & how do I installl them, active sinc?
(UK Handset)
A; Again not sure, I guess some games will probably install via ActiveSync as they will come as a windows .exe installer, others may come as a .cab, copy to your device storage card and run.
5. I've seen a Blackstone running Spore that was ment for a Diamond, I presume sofware for the Diamond is
compatable with the blackstone?
A: Check out the Software Wiki for working titles http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Software
6. I know in some cases you need to go in to the windows folder, how do I get this up?
A: From the Home screen tap Start > Programs. Tap File Explorer You should see the Windows directory in the list, if not try selecting My Device from the drop-down list at the top.
7.Is there any apps I should use?
A: There are lots of great apps for the Blackstone I personally use Gyrator (rotate the screen for most programs), Total Commander (File Explorer replacement) and Lumos (better backlight management), but there are literally hundreds. Try searching the Forum or looking through the 3 Sticky Forum threads for lots of great advice and tips.
