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:

List of things that WORKS and do NOT WORK with NEW ROM

Please list the things that WORK and do NOT WORK with the new ROM uni_cdl_13068_130153_10900_wwe.
Opera 8.5 beta 2 with Tabs Works
You have to change the System font to somethin else though and then back to Tahoma else you see Wingdings
Use Tweaks 2k2.net to achieve this
Regards
The COnnection manager key on the hardware keyboard (Fn+Right Arrow) doesn't do anything anymore
Everything seems to work better and faster on my jasjar, except the fn key combination to turn on the comm mgr. Other than that everything seems to work for me
It can't show date & time on top bar on today screen as it is occupied by the battery icon.
I tried using tweak2k2 to add date & time, it was ok on other screens except "today". On today screen, it shows a broken icon.
May be it is just a simple reg tweak, but waiting to be found... Ideally, I want to see both info.
Bluetooth Turning off by itself
From what I have seen so far the new ROM has a similar problem than the current official Imate release English ROM 1.13.53 with Bluetooth turning itself off. In connection manager it appears to be on but when entering the settings the tickbox is blank. Has anybody else seen this behaviour or have a workaround? Thank you.

I cant get MMS working with O2, was going to try to have a look at it later tonight.
Can't get SPB Pocket Plus software to run in that it installs OK and appears to function without problems but as soon as you do a reset on the universal it hangs when restarting on the windows startup screen.
This appears to be nothing to do with the extended ROM as I also have the same problem when this is not installed.
Does anyone know how to make the extended ROM visible in such a way that the system doesn't create a second "Storage Card" entry. This behaviour occurs when I set the
HKLM\System\StoreageManager\autoload\TRUEFFS_DOC1 bootphase attribute to 2
and because I have installed all my utilities on the SD Card they don't work any more as the SD card gets renamed to "Storage Card1"

Just curious, are you using v.3.1 of SPB Pocket Plus? I never got the problem you say. I have installed SPB on O2, Imate, and QTEK variants of the universal ROM
pocket outlook now polls for email whether you leave it on the said account or not. Oh push email works great!
jorgee: The purchase invoice says 3.0 - naturally I can't look as I don't currently have it installed because of the reset issue.
Never had a problem with the old ROM (German T-Mobile from january)
Really annoying as I love the features this tool has.

U should upgrade to 3.1, you'll notice huge improvement in speed and if i'm not mistaken you'll get free update since you purchased 3.0, just use the old serial number.
I even installed it on extended rom memory without any problem at all, it runs as good as installed in main memory
Jorgee: thanks for the tip.
3.1 works great (even after a reset!). I'm a happy man again.
On my old Qtek 9000 ROM, the data connection automaticly disconnected after checking email, but with this new ROM, the connection stays on.
Anyone knows a way to change this back ??

keyboard backlight
I can't find the reg key to change the length of time the keyboard backlight stays on. I am not sure if the location changed or not, but it isn't where it used to be, at least on mine.

VitoFindMe

Just wondering if any others are using this neat little app and what your experiences are with it?
I tested it on a roadtrip by leaving my trinity in my friends car with the screen off. Every few minutes I would send an sms to my trinity and it would reply with my friends coordinates. I would then input his coordinates into my PNA to see where he was. Worked great. I was most impressed by the battery life remaining on my phone when I got it back...after 18 hours and 120 or so text messages I still had 80% battery remaining.
Anyone else use it? What are your thoughts?
Top Class App
Hi, this is a pretty smart bit of "FREE" kit. I use for cycling / walking if every i get knocked off or lost Help knows where I am instantly!
***** star all round
Do you need to activate the built-in GPS through it, or would VitoFindMe start it by itself?
I'm asking because this could be a nice way to keep an eye on the kids, or if my trinity gets stolen.
Thanks for the tip anyway.

It runs on the today screen and always runs as long as it's on the today screen. You can also specify gps settings manually or have it detect. The only catch is you have to activate the product or you will have to soft reset after sending coordinates 3 times. Activation is free btw.

You only need to configure the keyword, when you send an sms with that keyword vito will reply with the current location as soon as it gets a gps fix:
" Go to http://maps.google.com and input "38.7093 -9.14376" into search box "
You may want to disable the sent message notification, and hide the vito plugin on a pocket breeze tab so that it isn't clearly visible that the device is running it, otherwise whoever finds the device will immediately read the scrolling message on the today screen: "Attention, VITO FindMe is installed! This phone can be located via SMS"
Thank you for your imputs. Can't the scrolling message just be hidden at the Today Screen by unselecting "Find Me" at the Today Items settings (settings>today>items), like I did, or if it gets hidden it won't work?

Locate SMS
Here is the link for Eten "LocateSMS"
Maybe you can try this www.mtsfriends.ro
Isn't Eten "LocateSMS" just to send your position where FindMe automatically responds with your position when it receives an SMS from someone with the correct code in the body of the message?

Pocket IE will not go to xda-developers

Has I was lying in bed too lazy to attempt to get to the desktop. I whipped out my 8525 wm6 schaps in decided I would make my rounds to the different forums. As I made my way to the xda-developers I repeatedly get an error stating the page can not be displayed. My carrier is ATT and I believe their proxy on my device is disabled. Do you think ATT is blocking xda? I was able to get to the site via Opera but the majority of my surfing is on IE due to the full screen layout. I might have to get past it and start using opera period however rather not. I like being able to see the whole web page in one column view. With Opera-mini I find my self having to scan down hit next page and so on. Have anyone else ran into this problem? In the past I was able to view xda with no problems what so ever.
Is it possible for someone to actually confirm this?
Can someone please just verify if I am the only user having this problem. I recently upgraded to the newest version of Schaps R/C however retreated back to the older 3.65ver. I wonder if this could actually have caused any issues however doubt it. If anyone with an 8525 on att verify this please
Works for me...
I'm ATT/8525 and connecting to XDA with no problem
works for me too, using wap.cingular and proxy dissabled, i have had issues trying to connect to some pages with media net settings and the proxy settings.
No Problem
I just got off the XDA site using PIE, my 8525 and WM6. No issues.

Internet Explorer stop responding

Hei guys, any ideas why my internet explorer stop responding when I tried to open it? I'm new with this nokia lumia 900. My phone won't open the internet explorer at all. First it won't open any tab since I got them now after 4 days I can't open my IE at all ....
Have you tried to Power off/on.
Sent from my HTC Surround using Board Express
did that and it didnt work, so I finally did a reset now it works well ... is it possible that it's because I installed another apps?

Yes, factory reset sorted it. Never did get to the bottom of WHY it happened though
The Microsoft Answers forums had quite a few posts from people reporting the same problem with no theories as to what was going on and no solution other than a hard reset
Interestingly, other browsers from the marketplace worked fine, along with rss feeds etc so it's not a connectivity problem, but a problem with IE9 itself.

Found the answer in the microsoft forums, switching the IE settings from open in new tab to open in current tab under miraculously fixed it.
After changing to open IE in current tab it worked for a while then gradually died so that it never works now in either new tab or current tab mode. [email protected]
