I run the B&B 4.0 on my artemis. I copied al my contact from my sim to the phone. When i want to call somebody the name of the contacts is twice. How can i delete the contacts on my phone easily.
Another question. When I touch the weather tab on the htc home. It connects to the gprs. Is there a way to cancel the weather tab?

You could remove the sim, restart. Then select all contacts and delete them. Then when you re-insert your sim you should see only one set of contacts.
NOTE: BE SURE YOU'VE GOT THEM ON ON YOUR SIM BEFORE DELETING THEM FROM YOUR PHONE.
For the second issue, there's a program amongst these forums called NoData. This allows you to enable/disable gprs with a single click.

Stopping Auto Download of Weather Data
Alternatively yo can select the city name on the weather display which gives you the city selection page. Select Menu option > Weather Options and there you can uncheck the Download Weather Automatically tick box (and also select the Temperature scale to be used).
After doing this select Done, then OK on the city select page.
Now the weather data will not download automatically but you can refresh the data if you click on the time since last download displayed in the top right of the download window.
Hope this helps,
Neil

Thats a much better solution!
Thanks mates it worked.
for the contacts issue, I use the hide SIM contact.cab found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1424544&postcount=1
Another option is to use the Start > Programs > Applications > SIM Manager in B&B 4.0, this program allows you to copy contacts to and from the SIM and to delete contacts from the SIM.

Can someone tell if there is an easy way to do this?
Basically, I want to copy all my SIM contacts to my phone contacts (I know how to do this using the SIM manager).
But I don't want all of the contacts to apear twice in the contact list. Is there anyway to setup the contact list to hide the sim contacts? I want to keep the contacts in the SIM card so I can move them from phone to phone, but I want it in the phone as well so I can sync it to gmail through active sync.
Any Thoughts?
- thanks

Searching took me 2 seconds to find this registry edit. I'm not trying to be an @$$ but just remember to search before posting.
22. Hide SIM Contacts: HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone - create a new DWORD value named "ShowSim" and set it to 0

What ROM are you running?
Also, IIRC either going to Options in the Contacts menu allows or changing a setting in the WM Settings menu does this.
As for copying your contacts from SIM to phone memory, you should have a SIM Manager in your applications that allows you to copy back and forth, as well as backup, etc. It took me a couple minutes to realize that you don't have to select each contact manually, rather there's a very narrow line above the first contact when you open the list to transfer. Make sure that's highlighted, then select to get all contacts at once.

If you want to test this, i adapted the .exe to have icon and shortcut, have just installed and installs, but do not have a SIM to test Dash with, the program is originally for PPC.
There is no GUI press once to hide, pres again to show.
Install to device.

You didn't read my post very thoroughly, did you? Rather than digging into the registry at all, the ONLY thing that you NEED to do to hide or show sim contacts is to change ONE setting in your phone.
The other process I was talking about was how to use the included application to copy contacts from SIM to phone...and even that's easier than it sounds in my post once you know the nuance of the SIM Manager.
Hi,
my Vario V (T-Mobile Version of the TP2) automatically connects to the internet all the time, even after a softreset!
It happens even if no other application is open. Push-Mail is not enabled!
Are there any hints what I can do, to get that fixed?
Best Regards,
Ulaef
Mine too! it connects at a random fashion, even though everything is turned off. Anyone with probable rootcause & solution
Possible solution
Not sure whether this works but this is what I do to disable my TP2 auto connection
1. Disable push emails in activesync
2. In the weather tap, go to menu -> settings -> untick "download weather automatically"
3. In the internet tap, go to menu -> schedule settings -> untick all day & time scheduled download
4. In the internet tap, menu -> data settings -> turn off "push internet"
5. In the people tap, -> all people -> updates and events -> menu -> data connection settings -> untick download data automatically (it downloads every 2 hours).
Hope i didn't miss out anything. Please try and see
Cheers,
Push email and weather update is disabled. The T-Mobile branding has no option for push internet! I removed the registry value. Even in my contact tab i found no event option. Maybe its a feature hidden by t-mobile which is still active!?
Can't wait for HardSPL to get an official HTC-ROM.

Hi,
I have an unbranded version.. I have this problem since yesterday.. I don't know what is the cause. I installed gmail java client.. and new bookmarks (but push pages disabled!).
Do you have a solutions?
Delete.
my mobile does the same, but only after 12 am, i bought it 3 months ago and there was no problem but since the summer time had begun, it keeps moving one hour forward at the beginning of the next day.
Tap the clock on the home tab. Don't set it on "My Location". Manually add your location and set that as the time you want displayed. Also, go into Phone settings and uncheck the thing where it says to change timezone automatically.

I have done the change you recommend and all is working just great!
1. Change the small clock on taskbar with "X" to be possible to close running applications (there is already a big clock on the screen...)
2. Change the "Phone" soft button with some "Action screen"
3. Stop "Data connection" activity when the device is locked
4. Change the icons in "Call History", now is black and white, it will be more easy to "filter" the missed calls (red), outgoing calls (blue), incomming calls (green).
5. When phone is locked, to have some preview for missed call, messages, sms; this should be done without unlocking, just pushing the bottom icons on the screen.
That's it for the moment...
Thanks anyone that could help
6. Integrate a nice looking SMS threaded app.

1. Install a "separate" taskmanager like Arc Switch
2. Go through "registry" and look for mapping of buttons
3. Check CHT Port and use CHTS to handle Data Connection Behaviuor
4. Modify corresponding manila files
5. CHT lockscreen

fixed
Point 1 partially fixed with "MMTaskManager v2.3", thanks to Maximus.Mobile!
Point 4 fixed with "ColorManilaCallsTab" from gabbana-music (many thanks for this to maestro!).
Point 5 fixed with "BsBTweaks v1.6", thanks to makeveral!
Changed even the original action for long-press power button (turn-off device) with a nice menu with multiple choises: turn-off, restart, sleep, etc. Thanks for this to petititi and his app "QuickShutdown v1.5.5c"
Remains only one problem, point 3!
In the past I had an HTC Diamond and S2U2 unlock app witch terminate the data connection when the device locks, maybe this could help... Ofcourse, I prefer the original lock of the Mini because is so simple and efficient!
This almost fixed the point 3:

When you have auto email downloads enabled, data is not disoconnected after mail retrieval and thus your battery is drained much faster.

Sorry, but you know the reg tweak will not resit a SR, right?
Instead of using this tweak, you could use a "data controller" like "no data" to terminate or not even allow the data connections including weather, etc. Btw, if you change the update settings for your weather tab & stock tabs as well as disabeling the AGPS Settings, and also take a closer look at "Location Services" and what this implies, your connections for these will also terminate after update

If SR means SoftwareReset, I don't understand your point... I modified the registry with SKTools and after many SR the phone heeps the registration without problem. After HR (HardwareReset) I'm sure it will happen.
Regarding AGPS, I don't use it, I have only Primo, Igo8 and Garmin on my phone
Can you be more specific about "data controller" like "no data" offering us some links and instructions about this?
Thank you.
how "Point 1 partially fixed with "MMTaskManager v2.3":?
Because I prefer to "Change the small clock on taskbar with "X" to be possible to close running applications (there is already a big clock on the screen...)". I still have the small clock doing nothing...
Anyway, MMTaskManager v2.3 is the best solution till now.

Hey,
I have searched for a solution but never found something. The one and only way to have close Button is the one in the softkeybar. Theirefor it's possible to activate this by regestry or any tools like BSB Tweak.
Are you ineressted in it?
Regards

I'm already using BSBTweaks for point 5.
Like I said, MMTaskManager v2.3 is the best solution till now.
Hi everyone,
So how do I?
I use "set as" from gallery....nope...nothing happens.
I open the contact and choose edit and all there is is the phone number, no way I see to add a picture.
Oh I searched and of course got info about 15 years old for android 2 or something, always helpful how up to date the net is.
Thank you for your up to date help.
No problem here...
Open contact, choose edit and click on the picture/icon. Then I can select icon, choose gallery or camera to select new icon.
Working may depend on where your contacts are stored... (google, phone, Microsoft exchange, etc). You can change standard location in contact - settings (3 dots)

Therein lies my problem, when I choose edit there is no picture icon, only contact name and number.
Is it possible this is because my contacts are on the sim and not saved on the phone?
I will give that a try, did not think of it before, thank you for prompting the thought.

It is more than possible since the contacts are at your sim card. Try moving them on your phone and see if that helps.

Yes worked a treat!
However getting the contacts onto the phone was tricky.
I exported by sharing to FX file manager and saved to the SDCard then imported from there as there is no import from Sim option for some bizarre reason.
But got there in the end.
Thank you.
