XDA IIs first user, need it to work like the Mini

Hello everybody, after a long debate with my wife, I've finally choose XDA IIs over the Mini for connectivity reason and the nice thumb board. I've tried the Mini for a week back then, and I was very pleased with the features it brings. The Intellipad and Intellidialer is awesome, it makes the Mini like a true phone (one hand operation).
After using the IIs for a while, I really miss that pad and dialer thingie. Since I'm very new to the Windows Mobile scene as my past experience with a PDA are all Palm OS based, I'm lost without clue here... Can the pad and dialer be installed to my IIs? If not, is there any 3rd party application which has the same function as both the Intellipad and Intellidialer?
One more question... My IIs has this problem where message sent icon is not cleared after sending an sms. Although it didn't affect the system, it's just annoying, a soft reset removes the icon though, but it reappears after I send an sms.
Regards,
Miki
I'd like this for my xda IIs aswell
Actually, you CAN add smart dialing to your IIs just like the Mini... I've done just that with the file from my GF's Mini. The Mini's Ext ROM is available on the FTP if you guys need it.

i have just installed the cab files for the 2 applications onto my IIs and they work fine got them off the ftp site under magician ,also the problem with your sms are you running pocket plus ?i was on my xda II and had this problem u need to set tmail.exe as an exception in the close options this may solve it.
Can you post a link to which intellipad version you used, many thanks
It doesn't matter i've found them and they work great.
Well come on then, tell us mere mortals where

Here you go, make sure you soft reset after each one is installed.

Thanks padlad, the intellipad works great, but that smartdialing doesn't seem to have any significant function, I haven't search the intellidialer though.
Thanks guys, I was at a lost before coming to this forum.
Open up the dial pad and tap a few numbers, it should pop up a box with the corresponding names. Make sure you have soft reset your device after installing. I can only tell you how it is working on my XDA IIs (Blue Angel) so not sure about other devices :roll:

Silly me... I didn't reset my IIs after installing the cab file, after resetting it's done deal... Sorry, my first experience with Windows Mobile device.
Hi
I tried installing these on my IIs, after a soft reset with no progs/add ons etc running.
InteliPad appeared to install OK, but I cant see any differences on the device, no additions to the existing dialer, no new progs, and nothing in 'remove programs'. A further look shows that althought the installer said 'installing to \windows\intelipad' the folder \windows\intelipad does not even exist!
The SmartDialing prog will not install. It just moans about 'the file \windows\iacontects.dll is in use or in rom' Said file is *not* in use since no progs are running on the device.
Any idea's? My device is a bog standard, original romed XDA IIs

rename 'iacontacts.dll & displaycid.dll' under windows\, then install intellidial again...

I had the message sent icon problem on my mini whenever i closed the contacts menu before the icon dissappeared - a bug. If you wait at the contacts menu after you send the message without closing it the icon should dissappear. :?

Yup... Definitely a bug... pen6uin tips for adding tmail.exe exception on the Pocket Plus for preventing the sent icon to appear, is to make the messaging program never close.

Cheers works a treat. The intelidialer thing is top, the system info tool is just duplicating existing applets (but bringing them into one place).
EDIT: I was of course talking ****e about the system info tool. I installed resco explorer at the same time and it was a part of that, not a part of the O2 stuff!!
Nigel
So the intellipad gave me the one handed calling capability on the phone program. What exactly does the smartdialing cab do?
It does not install on my XDAIIs as I have a cooked rom and claims that this is not an O2 device. It's true that my XDAIIs comes up as an Imate but works beautifully with the cooked rom.
Any idea how I can get these 2 intelli programs to recognize my device? Original O2 device from Hong Kong.
Thanks.
Anyone have this problem on a uk XDA IIs with smartdialler, using the sliding keyboard to input digits seems to freeze after the first number, turning smartdialler off allows number dialling ok. Using release O2 rom with radio 1.06.02
I have had these on for a few days now and have never tried the smartdialer with the slide down keyboard, it wasn't designed for that in mind, it's been taken from a device that doesn't have the keyboard. I have tried it and it doesn't freeze but it will not go past the first number. It's easier with the touch screen anyway. :wink:

XDA IIs upgrade/major problems

Hi guys, im new here, and i hope someone can help me....... now i have problems with my XDA IIs .... it keeps crashing and i have to soft reset the device 3-4 times a day! this i can handle., but it is always thinking about what it is doing rather than doing it..... now it is as fast and as much memory as xda 2, i just upgraded from xda 2 and found that xda 2 was a more stable Os. (i have another question involving the Os ,but will ask that in a bit, ) now my real problem is that i cannot seem to be able to send anything by bluetooth..... i pair a device but even when they are paired, it wont detect any devices it searches and stuff, even connects via Ir , but not BT... i have a couple of bluetooth devices at home that i can connect to....... and they are turned on..... but just cannot find anything to connect to.
now hopefully someone can help me with the bluetooth thing, but if not, then my next question is, i downloaded the latest update from the xda website at www.o2.co.uk , if i install over the old with the new( its still the same version, ) with a clean install, will that work, or is that the same as doing a hard reset???
next question, i downloaded the XDA IIi update......... if i install that, will it work on my XDAIIs or will it just poop up??? if i tried it, will i be able to put the existing one back????
any suggestions.????
i work at o2 in the credit control dept, but i dont have any time to call them as there office hours will prob be my shift hours, plus i have heard that you have more luck asking a local bum for solutions...
please help.....
anyone know how to send files by bluetooth from xda 2s then, cos its driving me mad. i reinstalled the os and everything but bluetooth is sorted.
please help

Why is the ROM working perfect on all my devices and but not yours? Push e-mail , bluetooth and I have a Data connection on my devices, its all working perfect. Now the reason these things are not working on your device is because you have not taken the time to configure the SETTINGS for these components to work on your devices. How do you expect them to work without the correct SETTINGS in place on your devices, think about it dude...............................!
Ok.... a lil help what settings do i need to configure. serious I have been looking. I just need some help. thats why im here

Help needed plzzz ....

hey , i cant read my sms and mails that i receive .... wen i tap on the sms it wont open ... it only shows a white empty screen same thing happens for the mails .... any solution is appreciated
Are you using standard sms/email or do you have an app installed?
When dod this first happen? Have you recently added any apps, software of flashed a new rom?
Any more info would enable us to help you more efficiently

Unusal problem with no direct solution unfortunately. Have you tried removing arabic app and soft resetting device. Garmin shouldn't affect device in thisa manner. An extreme measure would be to try a hard reset
1 more thing i installed lately the tweak app. and its not working coz it still sleeps while talking on the phone after been disabled.... and many other features also didnt work.... so could this be the main problem ??
