Finally gotten my very own D810
This is not my first PPC...but I guess I still need to get used to WM5....
I have questions...and I have read through most of the threads from here before buying...guess I still need some help...
1)Does the connection activesync for your D810 disconnects itself after a while?? Mine seems to do it after like 1-2 mins...even if I'm in the middle syncing some stuff...strange...
2)Is it possible to customise the 2 buttons on our D810. The buttons for "Calendar" and "Contacts"...I can't seem to find any options for that.
3)Whatever happened to the shortcut to "Running Programs"?? Not in WM5 anymore??
4)Have you guys notice that activesync runs at startup in our PPC?? Everytime I do a soft reset...without any cables connected...I will go to "running programs" and the activesync is there...running...possible to change that??
5)Any faster way to get to "Comms Manager" without using the "HTC today" plugin?? I don't like that plug in as it cannot be customised to our needs...tried copying the shortcut from the "windows" folder but it seems to be a "system file" and will not show up in the "start menu"
6)And yes....I can't register my CE-Star as well....I d/l the "a" version...installed it through AS...at the end of the installation...there was a "register" button...I clicked on it...it was a broken link...and that's it...didn't get any email from dopod after that...
7)Anybody manage the get the registery tweak for the defaultim to work?? I can't seem to get it to work..even though I'm very sure I got the registry value correct...
Set default SIP
The default SIP (Secondary Input Panel) on practically every device is the Keyboard. You may prefer entry with a different SIP. If so, you can set this to be the default SIP through:
HKCU\ControlPanel\SIP\DefaultIM = |SIP ClassID|
{42429690-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9} = Letter Recognizer
Think that's all the qns I have for today. Will continue exploring!!
1)Does the connection activesync for your D810 disconnects itself after a while?? Mine seems to do it after like 1-2 mins...even if I'm in the middle syncing some stuff...strange...
No it does not. The behaviour is just like you wrote. What is the problem with that?
2)Is it possible to customise the 2 buttons on our D810. The buttons for "Calendar" and "Contacts"...I can't seem to find any options for that.
I think there is 3rd party software doing this. WM5Newmenu for instance changes one of the softkeys to a new menu.
3)Whatever happened to the shortcut to "Running Programs"?? Not in WM5 anymore??
I cant remember having such a shortcut on WinCE. You can see all runing programs (and terminate them) going to settings, system, memory and selecting the right tab.
4)Have you guys notice that activesync runs at startup in our PPC?? Everytime I do a soft reset...without any cables connected...I will go to "running programs" and the activesync is there...running...possible to change that??
You are right. Why would you want to change this?
5)Any faster way to get to "Comms Manager" without using the "HTC today" plugin?? I don't like that plug in as it cannot be customised to our needs...tried copying the shortcut from the "windows" folder but it seems to be a "system file" and will not show up in the "start menu"
That is something I would llike to know too. In fact I would prefer to switch the phone off with one click and to toggle BT and WiFi with one click.
6)And yes....I can't register my CE-Star as well....I d/l the "a" version...installed it through AS...at the end of the installation...there was a "register" button...I clicked on it...it was a broken link...and that's it...didn't get any email from dopod after that...
What is CE-Star?

Tried disabling the 'advanced networking functionality' option in Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC?

I also don't remember this one but I highly recommend a program called HandySwitcher by Dinarsoft -- it's only around $8 but works great. Initially it'll have silly options enabled like overcrowding the title bar with icons like the HandySwitcher icons but you can disable them and instead place an icon in the today screen tray to use to see a list of programs running in the background and terminate whichever you like or all of them.

I don't recall having that problem. Maybe it's a Dopod ROM thing?

Create your own shortcut to \Windows\CommManager.exe by creating a file called 'Comm Manager.lnk' in \Windows\Start Menu\ or wherever you like and put the following line in that file:
21#"\Windows\CommManager.exe"
If you like you can use the utility PHM Traylauncher (which I've attached to this post) to place it permanently in the today screen tray for easy access.

I don't know the answer to this but if you figure it out, please share with us as I'd like to change it from Pocket MSN Messenger to Pocket Skype.
Hope this helps.
anyone knows how can I add a windows media player shortcut to the today screen? (i tried settings-->today-->items but there is no option for adding wmp on the today screen)
Currently running Touch-IT 2.3 on my Wing. Just removed old versions of PocketCM (.15 and .16), installed .18 as well as Google Maps. Other than BatteryStatus, device is basically using only the standard programs that comes with Touch-IT.
I soft-resetted and now a battery icon appears in the top right corner of my today screen where the task manager button used to be. Clicking it brings up a "notification" window titled "Battery" with "Main", "Backup", and "Memory" and their relative percentages. When I click and hold it it comes up with a list (analog, percent + analog, percent + digital, memory + analog, detail). None of these gives me any indication of what program is doing this. I scoured my program settings (especially batterystatus) and can't seem to find what is doing this. Obviously not having quick task manager access is annoying, especially when the regular battery indicator is right next to this new icon.
Any ideas what program this might be or what setting might have been changed? Its more than possible that a friend playing with my phone checked some option box without me knowing it and the soft reset enabled it, I just can't find what it was!
Thanks
It sounds to me like you may have disabled your HTC Task Manager.
Go to Start, Settings, System, Task Manager
and under Button, make sure its Enabled.
You may also have something else installed that changes those icons, like wisbar or pocket plus that may be doing that... so make sure you dont have something else interfering.
Hi,
I'm working on programm with .NET Framework 3.5 for my HTC Touch Diamond 2.
Now I need help on two issues:
1. Fullscreen (hide taskbar)
I set WindowState to Maximized and FormBorderStyle to None.
This works on the emulator. On the emulator, the form is maximized and the taskbar is not visible anymore.
However, when I run the same programm on my htc diamaond 2 the taskbar is still visible! Does anyone know what the problem is?
2. Form.Closing
In the form closing event I want to show a message box "Are you sure". If the user clicks 'no', I want the application to not close.
For this purpose I cancel the CancelEvent: e.Cancel = true;
But this doesn't work: The from gets closed anyway but the application process keeps running in background. The programm doesn't appear in taskmanager running applications but only in running processes. So I cannot switch back to my application.
Any hints how I can manage this?
Thanks
Tom
noone got any experience with this issues??

From my Windows programing experience (not WM though) your code should go like this:
Step1: Bring up a dialog box with your question
Step2: Main form is waiting for the result of the dialog box
Step3: Once the main form gets the result THEN it decides what to do: Exit or "nothing"
What I want to say is that you should not "cancel" the event. You should not generate it in first place if the user does not click on "Yes, I'm sure"
Thanks for your response.
As far as I know, I cannot prevent the closing event to be raised when the user clicks the 'x' in the taskbar.
The question is in the title
Really hate it when everytime I tap the "X" button for Opera, it closes the app than minimizing it... I've set it off in the Task Manager to disable it. But still the same??? Pls help...

it is funny you mention because the question really is how to close opera. Once you have opened opera it stays on. the only thing is that you cannot see it in the task manager. they made it invisible so you can't kill the process. but now you also cant start it up from there. so when clicking the X you are minimizing the app. don't you think it starts fast when opening it for a second time. when new roms come without manilla, you will see it again in the task manager

just exit the program via the opera-menu then it really closes.
if you use the X it does only minimize.

that still doesnt close it, if u use a proces monitor like Sktools u can still see Opera9.exe running, its even in the top 10 in mem usage. killing it in the process monitor doesnt seem to fix it either as the proces gets restarted somehow, but it does use lots less memory afterwards
I uses Touch Pro (Raphael) before switching to Touch Pro 2 (Rhodium), Opera minimizes visibly in Task Manager. But not in Touch Pro 2 (Rhodium). Now I know...
But is there a trick or 2 to modify the registry in Manila file(s)?
this would explain why sometimes as I'm moving offices etc and connecting to different wi-fi's sometimes although the wi-fi is connected it continues to use 3G.
I shutdown Opera and restart usually to try and force it to use the connected wi-fi but sometimes it just doesn't.
Turns out I'm not really shutting down opera hence why It continues to use it's original connection to 3G (not always though.)

I have been playing around with the registries and it seems there are some registry settings that you can change to prevent that
HKCU\Software\HTC\TaskManager\ExclusiveList\System
If you look into the above folder, you can find a list of apps that will run under exclusive, meaning they will not show up in the normal task manager. You will notice Opera9.exe is in there. If you remove the entry, you can now see Opera9.exe in the task list. But it still doesn't seem to terminate the process when you exit Opera. Hence for the first poster, if you just stop here, your Opera will minimize visibly to the tasklist once you click on the "X"
For those who want to further kill Opera when you click on "X", you need to go to
HKCU\Software\HTC\TaskManager\TerminateProcess
Add a DWORD key (Opera9.exe) and set the value to 1. Now when you exit Opera, the process will be terminated and memory returned.
This works for me.
Cool~ Will try it out. Thanks so much!

It's work! And I was looking for this for a long time !Thank You!
is there ANY possibility of someone posting a screenshot of exactly what this looks like when it is typed in? I am so new and i dont want to mess up anything. Thanks.
But it opens very quickly when you want to use it again. Almost immediatly.
I just use cleanRAM a couple of times a day...Mostly after using opera
As far as I know opera keeps running is because push page is enabled.
Turn off push page in registry and reboot, then and it should not be always running in background.

Hello,
Sorry, it doesn't work for me
I've tryed every solution I found, I believe on registry settings, but all I found doesn't work, the opera9.exe process still become again and again, however I kill it, turn on the registry keys (RealExit, allready on), using the right menu of Opera for the built in "real" exit, killing Opera9.exe from different Task Manager (then OperaL.exe appears a few seconds, then Opera9.exe again), renaming file OperaL.exe to not be launched at startup -> another one was restored (more ancient) !
How is it possible to change any settings on a brower, or installing any plugin, if this one is always running ??
Thanks for help

Yes, you did it ! Woohoo !
Thanks a lot for this tip, it helps me !
In fact, I didn't need to install the NoPushInternet_v2.CAB of TinTin, but thanks to him ; the indication that there is a service to stop was suffisant for me. I set myself the PushInternet service to start manually, with FdcSoft Task Manager. After soft reset, Opera is not launched automatically !
I gain 5% of free memory.
In addition to that, Opera works better now, the splash screen of Opera Mobile appears when he starts, sign that it is really launched manually. And Flash Player runs now, that's great ! Sign that it is not possible to install a plugin when the browser is still running. And also, when minimized, Opera appear in the Task Manager menu of TF3D, great too.
Strangely, when I use the Opera menu to exit, it does not ! He's not minimized, but Opera9.exe is still running. But I can kill it and he doesn ot reappear.
Also, if I use the X button, Opera really exit ! So, all is allright
Anybody has an idea oon which process to chose to do the same with Activesync ?
Should be \Windows\repllog.exe ?
Hi all,
i use spb mobile shell. With this UI, takes a long time to load sms messages (1 sec is a lot for me ). So i try to figured out, how can i hide sms ui, but not close.
I tried Ameba, but this doesnt have possiblitity to do exception for apps.
Maybe some change of registry? In my signature are my rom (i use rom with big buttons and cross in right down corner)
any suggestions?
thx
will it be closed if you just hit the backbutton? or are you looking for a software solution?!
Maybe this is what you're looking for. Excerpt taken from tboy2000 thread:
82. Make Common Apps Open Instantly With No Delay
The most often used apps on the HD2 would be SMS and Email. As the HD2 has plenty of memory and it is very hard to fill it up during use, why not add these two apps to the task manager exception list. This means they will never truely exit and will always be open in the background. The benefit of this is that HTC Messaging does not automatically refresh and redraw the contact thumbnails when you load the app. Instant opening of both apps with no load time. You can add any other app to this list too if you never want it to exit.
Just use this tweak. HKCU\Software\HTC\TaskManagerExclusiveList\System and add a new DWORD Value of Messaging_Client.exe and tmail.exe
to fruchtfliege:
i know about back button, but yes, i want software solution. I want alway use cros for closing apps, but for this two i dont want to close them.
to weepatc:
yes, i know about this change of registry. I tried it in past, but i think it is not working because it is not very quicker loading. I dont see them in task manager (but maybe this is normal when it is excluded).
i will try it again..
thx guys for help
if are any other suggestions, it will be great
now i figured out, that tmail is ok, and this exe file doesnt close, but file Messaging_Client.exe it still close after pressing cros (X).
I try tu use sk tools in runing proceses i also try to set "add to dont close list" but it also doesnt works and this process is still killed
why?
