HI all, Some time ago I found a neat little prog (freeware of course ) that installed into the today screen that would display the current connected service provider and signal strength... Any have any idea on what it was? I have had to reinstall and I just cannot find it anywhere. Just incidently can anyone recomend a battery/memory mgt tool for the today screen.. I have seen loads but recomendation is always better... Thanks in adv, J

I'm using Syswatch and MyPhone here on my MDA compact.
Some guys around here seem to have slight problems with using some of JGUI's programs :wink: , but I didn't encounter any problems with MyPhone. At the moment I don't really use it (it's installed, but not active in today screen), because the signal strengh is shown in the upper task bar (even viewable if security panel is active) and the service provider can be identified within phone app - that's enough for me.

Hi
I am a new boy at this stuff so any help would be good
I have looked at the previous postings but can't find an answer that I feel I fully understand.
I want to get GPS for my XDA 11s I would prefer blue tooth so that I can use it whilst walking and in the car but, from what I have read if I use this method I can't then use a hands free blue tooth earpiece is this the case? What would be the best solution?
Also there are a lot of past postings about what is the best blue tooth earpiece but I can’t find any after June ish. What will work well? I understand my old plantonics m3000 will not work. Has any form of survey been done?
My last question. If I use GPS with say Copilot 5 am I correct in thinking I can't use speed camera software at the same time? What would be the best option? I like the idea of a good post code search as well as by address.
Thanks in advance for any help and apologies to the seasoned users for any repeats on past items.
Cheers

I know Tom Tom won't let you use an earpiece at the same time. I use TomTom. I believe the term is "gummy drivers" and it won't let any other bluetooth devices function.
However in WM2005 I notice a GPS extension that shares out the GPS to other applications. So perhaps this'll solve the problem! Anyone actually know?

Hi Lewis
Thanks for the reply. From the small amount I have read I thought the wm2005 is not ready for the XDA11s yet. If it is how you do get it and is it something a beginner can install (very simple).

Hi there
Bored of scrolling through massive threads, maybe it's time we separate some of the issues now. Starting with...
Voicemail indicators not working correctly in WM6.
So, what are your experiences? If yours work, let us know, if not, post what happens.
I'm on Orange UK and I get an SMS from '[email protected]' and '^@' to activate/deactivate the indicator respectively.
I've been googling, and haven't found much about these messages. I think they're supposed to be Class 0 but not sure. Does anyone know which part of the OS is in charge of sorting them out and interpreting them?
Maybe this is a simple reg setting that's missing? Could someone with WM5 and on an operator using vmail notifications run a search through their registry for '[email protected]' and '^@'?
Cheers

I get a different character, for deactivate - its a full size triangle. Again, on Orange UK.
I'll try and run thru installing all the WM5 orange cabs to test on Sun - I've got our Wedding celebration party tommorow! I'll get my ass kicked if I go near it before then.......
Congratulations!
Yeah I get the same full triangle, sorry. I've seen it abbreviated to ^ on a couple of other forums so used that, but it is actually a complete triangle.(Alpha symbol?)

Yep, I have exactly the same problem with the XDA-Live 0.1 ROM. Using Orange UK.
Couldn't delete the second message. I kept getting a message about the a SIM error. Reboot of the phone and the message had gone.
Anyone worked out a fix?
No Voice Mail
Hi all,
I have the same issue with Orange UK as the rest of you. I am supprised that no one has a solution yet. Will keep an eye on this post for a fix !
I cant spend any time on this at the moment.
Setting [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\State\Messages\vmail\Line1\Unread]
"Count"=dword:00000000
clears the notification..
Also once in this state I dont get the initial text, but I do get the vm icon! Something keeps setting the count value to -1 which seems to get it messed up.
Cant find out what processes the notification, but it looks like its something in the base of wm5 as non of the ext rom programs seem to have any effect.
I have no problems with new voice mail indicators, missed call, new sms notifications, etc. All show up correctly. Using Cingular/AT&T..
Maybe the issue is only orange based on the previous comments???
Thanks eagle 1.
If anyone has voicemail notifications working on Orange in WM6 please post, as I'll know I'm doing something wrong.
I've tried all the customisation cabs and nothing's worked so far.
The problem is that the current WM6 rom does not support CPHS this is a set of commands that include the MWI (Message Waiting Indicator), Orange are the only provider in the UL using this feature. I feel the issue is that the bases ROM currently being used by the chef is not a final RTM of WM6 as it is missing a few features that the RTM should have. I used to have the issue when upgrading Nokia roms but with those it was a simple fix through LogoManager.
For more info on CPHS see http://www.phonescoop.com/glossary/term.php?gid=220
Thanks, that's great that we have an answer now to why it doesn't work. I guess the obvious thing to do is just wait until the final ROM's released, unless anyone with a bit more knorr-how knows of a way to add CPHS features to WM6...
Can someone try this workaround.....
http://www.miousers.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=144&highlight=dialmonitored
Just dropping by, I'm flat out at work, cant spend any time on this at the moment, but stumbled over the above...This allows the device to clear the count as soon as you dial your VM, not pretty, but a temp fix...(assuming it works!)
(also found this on msdn..... http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa457989.aspx)
and perhaps even editing CEMAIL.VOL may be another route....
This isn't a problem with all versions of WM6.
As well as a SPV M3100 (Hermes) I also have a SPVM5000 (Universal) also on Orange and the notifications work perfectly on the Universal.
SPV M3100 - XDA Live 0.10
SPV M5000 - Midget 0.1
I'll try to compare registry settings see if I can spot anything obvious
One thought as to the VoiceMail indicator and differences between Universal & Hermes versions of WM6.
I was wondering if this is something that is dependant on the radio rom.
I am using the Orange radio rom on my Universal but as far as the Hermes is concerned I've left it with the 1.16.00.00 rom which I think was from prof's SIM & CID unlocker v2a
Interesting...
That could be it. Frustratingly, I updated my radio ROM at the same time as installing WM6 so I can't isolate the problem. I'm using the 1.35 radio ROM that's on the FTP. I suppose this could be where orange make their voicemail customisations.
Is anyone running an Orange radio ROM with WM6? Can you please post your success with voicemail notifications?
I am on WMXL 0.2 and left my radio on the original orange radio of 1.06.00
Since upgrading to WMXL 0.1 and 0.2 I have NOT had the spool icon - but have received the system sms's. So I don't think its radio dependant.
I haven't however run any of the orange ext rom cabs as one or more of them made my wmxl 0.1 unstable - whereas loading wmxl 0.2 and then manually entering data connections etc has given me a fast stable device (without voicemail spool icon!).
Bump......
Anyone had any luck with this yet?

Could you post or PM me the 'sms_providers.dll' file from the windows directory on your SPVM5000 so I can compare it to the one on the M3100 - I think this may be where the problem lies
Looks like it is down to the version of sms_providers.dll as also reported here.

I'll post the file from the SPV M5000 rom if still needed(They are of different size) but it will be after the weekend when I'm back home.
See post #16 from olipro on this thread, all sorted now and working perfectly.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299072&page=2
You do need the developer certs installed to use the fix though (link in the thread) and you may have to rename the new dll and do some registry editing - all the info you need is in the linked thread.
Hi there,
as you can see in the screenshot. I am not sure if I am connected with 3G or not. Acctually it looks like I am not. I think the small G should be a smal 3G, correct?
I had this problem with different rom and radio versions since I installed windows mobile 6.
Berfore I had WM5 with no problem.
How can I be sure if it is GPRS or 3G?
Cheers,
Christoph
Yep - you are connected with 3G. The little "G" icon is a little misleading, it just means you are connected - the icon to the left will indicate what sort of connection you have.
Cheers,
Steve.
There is already a solution for this if you are using WM6 ROM. 3G Icon: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293375
Thanks! Perfect!
I wonder why I did not find this by myself.
Thanks for the quick help!
Great Forum here!
Cheers!

I find this solution isn't that great to be honest. Although it does work in itself, it tends to break all the other icons that you get on the top bar.
Cheers,
Steve.
lol... on this topic, I was having problems with 3g... was up in London testing the video call beta pack and couldn't get any 3g signal...
turns out O2 supplied me with a non 3g chip!!!! How bloody useless are they!!! lol

Hi Steve,
I don't have the problem you described. Are you referring to the icon like a mail icon, appearing during an email or text message, as an example? If yes, then it still appears on mine.
I personally think too, that there are too many notifications already showing. For example, I get a text message, I get the email icon on the top bar, I get the bubble stating I have this # of text or email, and another notification on the left soft key. To me, having 3 notifications for one event is not good. First of all, it eats up memory. We all know, memory use is not one of the strong points in the Universal. Second, to negate all those notifications for one event, we choose which one to tap, and that is right, but who needs 3 notifications for one event in reality?
Sorry, for ranting on Microsoft...
Regards,

You don't say which version of windows mobile you are running.
That screenshot is from a wm2003. On my blue angel with wm5, the wifi on indicator is a small antenna tower looking thing. Otherwise, I have a small x with a pair of arrows pointing either direction above it.
Sorry,
I'm Using WM2003SE standard o2 ROM latest version.
My wifi indicator is the same as yours, however it seems it should be the W
Thanks

Ah. I'm afraid I've got nothing. I never used 2003 when I received my angel, I flashed it to wm5 as soon as I verified that the device worked.
The indicator has been changed to look like an antenna in the later rom's
