plz help: i lost the "start->system settings" <SOLVED> - P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development

hello.
i did a pocket mechanic clean up... and now the option "start->system settings" is gone.
is there any way to get it back?
thx in advance

What exactly is missing?

when i click "start" i have all my programs in the start menu list.
at the bottom i have "programs" and normally "system settings"... this last one is gone.

Thats weird wouldnt have thought pocket mechanics would let you delete something that important.
Have you tried a soft reset?
If you have tried a soft reset and that hasnt worked then sorry i think the only other thing that would get it back is a hard reset.
Wooley

well, i'll wait a bit maybe some1 knows how to solve this without a hard reset

No probs, oh you could have a look in the windows file, there may be something in there, to bring it back to life!!

spend plenty of time searching it... found nothing

This may be a thing to have a look for before you resort to a hard reset:
If you have a look in "Windows\Start Menu\" there should be a folder simply called "Settings". Although this normally contains no items, it may be why you don't have the folder in the start menu. You could try creating this folder again to see if you get it back. I don't think it has any special IDs like the recycle bin on a Windows PC or anything like that, so just use an application to make it again.
If this doesn't either, then i'm all out of ideas. But if it does work, it would explain why you were allowed to delete it.

ok, hope that works. problem is that my WM6 is in spanish... now what exact word was it in spanish, lol.
does pocket mechanic have some sort of LOG where i can see what he actually deleted?

awesome dude. many thx worked

Uninstalling MS Voice Command

Does anyone know how to uninstall this? When i try to do it on the phone or over Activesync I get a warning message that it could not remove all of the program and ultimately the entire program is still installed. It takes up too much room for what it does (and I think there's a battery issue with it as well) Thanks

Try using the Uninstall application of this program: http://www.dinarsoft.com/memmaid/ Once the program is uninstalled, just delete the remaining folders and then run the Quick Clean and that should remove all remnants of the Uninstalled program.
Thanks. It helped to remove mobitv and xmradio which were entirely useless to me and took up a lot of room. However, when I tried to uninstall memmaid it left a few bits behind - there are folders remaining in the program directory... in fact the MobiTv icon still exists in my program directory leading me to beleive that it's just deleting a folder and not removing the program from my reigstry, etc. It's a start though. Thanks again
Re: uninstall
This may be a silly question, but was VC cooked into the rom originally or did you install it yourself? If it was cooked in you will not be able to remove it. (As is true for any cooked in application.)
Best wishes,

Quick question; when using MemMaid, did you use the Quick Clean with all items checked? by default not all are checked.
Dead shortcuts
Dead Registry
Bad uninstall (files)
Bad Uninstall (Registry)
These are just a few items I would make sure are checked..
Thanks for the help guys. It was not part of a cooked rom and after checking the boxes on memmaid and rebooting a few times VC is gone (and 5 megs are free). After uninstalling memmaid (it's 900k - I can't keep that around ) it just left an empty folder called "Handyswitch actions" that I'm just going to manually delete. Thanks for the help. I was this close to deciding between keeping Skyfire and outlook

Sorry, during install of MemMaid you could of unchecked the handyswitcher and whatever extras you didn't need and they wouldn't have installed. Glad to see you has some success though.

You can't install MS VC to storage card and have it work correctly unfortunatly.
I've had same issue whilst installing MSVC to storage card and had tp install it to phone. I also had same problem trying to uninstall it. Luckily I wanted to upgrad my ROM which solved the problem
As I've been using my phone I learned there's a new glitch - if I use autocomplete to fill in text or complete an email address, etc it crashes my phone (I think pasting text does too). This didn't happen a day ago so I think there's a connection to the uninstallation of VC. I've reset it 5 times and it's always the same result. The screen becomes nonresponsive, switching to landscape mode takes about 45 seconds and doesn't solve anything and both the onscreen keyboard (Happy Tapping) and the hard keyboard fail to function. If I wait it out I can get the start menu to drop down and get to the Today screen but navigation is still brutally slow there and the email sits. I Use o2plus and it shows apps are running but doesn't state them (it's pOutlook that is frozen). Any ideas? I wish PPC had 'last good state' like Windows... thanks again
I have VC on my memory card and have no problem... Dont know why you have though.

Incorrect Email Counter

Have done a search, found nothing and am posting on here for help.
For some time now the email ounter on my device has been out by 6 items i.e. when there are no emails downloaded the device reports that there are 6.
My guess is that windows mobile stores the email counter somewhere in the registry. If that is correct could someone please tell me which registry entry it is and how to reset it?
If that assumption is incorrect how does one permanently reset the email counter in windows?
Many thanks
WB
PS Device and ROM details are in my signature below.
I used to run k's rom, and never had that issue, but he hasn't posted anything in near/over a year. Same for that rom.
It might be time to try another rom, or do a hard reset and start over.
WM 6.1 has matured, try one and see how it goes.
Boog,
Thanks for the response. It's definitely not an issue to do with K's rom, which I have been using trouble free for nearly a year. I simply deleted a load of emails off my device recently and found the counter set at 6 instead of zero.
If someone can't come up with an answer then I know I can resolve by doing a hard reset. However I am loath to do this as it will take at least 3 days to rebuild my device back up from scratch, even though my essential data is backed up. Don't really want to do this unless I absolutely have to.
I am certain this is a registry problem; just need a pointer as to where to go looking to fix it.
Anyone else able to help please?
Thanks
WB
Well, my rlToday skin uses the following key to display the UNREAD email count.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\State\Messages\TotalEmail\Unread\Count
Also, you might want to check in your mail folder in \Windows (unless you've changed it). This folder holds the body of emails as text files *.mpb.
Thanks Degaud,
Cleared the registry entry, powered off the device to ensure changes saved, rebooted and same problem. Despite the counter being reset to zero it seems there must be another variable involved elsewhere.
Appreciate the help but it looks like a hard reset is the only way out.
WB
Before a hard reset
If you are willing to go for a hard reset, maybe you`d be willing to try this first this, it`s an old utility (freeware) but worked for me sometime ago.
http://home.comcast.net/~relmerator/
Good luck
Luiggi,
Thanks for the heads up. No joy either so I have bitten the bullet and rebuilt the device from the ground up.
In truth it was probably a good idea to rebuild as I now only have half the number of applications that I used to have on it, my device has a new look and feel and, above all, is miles quicker than it used to be.
Appreciate the help from everyone.

TP2 showing phantom notication SMS inbox

Just started last night, my TP2 is showing 1 sms notification on TouchFlo3D and on the inbox folder. I have used Clear "Text/Multimedia" a billion times and also checked in another phone to make sure nothing is hiding on the SIM. Does anyone make a suggestion other than doing a master clear/reset phone?
Funny, I just solved this problem today and unfortunately, I had to do a hard reset (still backed up everything with with Sprie Backup thou.)
Well, you do have another option that didn't seem to work for me but it's worth a try, is to Regedit it. The location is HKEY_Current_User\system\state\Messages\sms\Unread and set the Count=0
When I tried, it would work, but as soon as I was to get another message, it jump back up to "2".
Good luck, Hope it works so you don't have to Hard Reset.
I will try, thanks for the tip
or this
find a program called fixedthreadcount and you just have to do a soft reset after running it.

Hello,
I attempted to post earlier but it did not seem to work, so go to this link it should fix your problems:
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/samsung-i700/23911-1-unread-sms-count.html
Simply download the zip file, copy the exe file to your SD card, run it, and do a soft reset. Hope this helps...
Ok, so forget the link, simply download the attached file.
awesome, thanks a million for the prog. i tried the regedit 1st with no permanent fix, but the prog fixed it.
it worked. 2nd time i had this problem, first time i had to do a hard reset. thanks for the program!
Just had the same issue with my phone wouldnt delete a phantom message and the program worked great, thanks ARHMogul, appreciate it bruh
Man, I am just having no luck with this - mine is showing "2" unread - I have deleted all msgs - done a reg edit to "0" and I have done the fixunreadcount with a soft reset. What else can I try ??
@jurgy1, I just ran the attached exe and a soft reset but the unread bubble was still there. Ran the exe again and it disappeared.
@ARHMogul, thanks a ton! I'd hate doing a hard reset for such a small problem yet I'm sure I would've done just that if not for your help.
TY! worked for me......... even after doing a soft reset I "thought" it wasn't going to work, but I also had to click on the icon to get the 1 to go away.
fixunreadcount.exe worked like a champ. Ran the program, soft reset, opened the sms inbox and the (1) count was gone. Returned to the TouchFlo home page and touched the SMS bubble and the offending number vanished. Nice. Many thanks.
Just wanted to say thank you. I've search on xda and ppcgeeks for a bit now and didn't find this post until today. Sometimes the wording really matters when finding threads.
This solved my problem and I thank you. Little things like that bug me and I didn't want to have to hard reset the phone.
Thanks again, I'll be saving this little guy.
Verison TP2 and Resetting the SMS Icon to 0 - Forever
Has anyone tried this on Verizon TP2 and if so, does this program work good enough so when you get the next message, it doesn't re-appear. Mine started when I got a two part message from an T-Mobile customer that spread it over two messages. I read the first one, but the second one had already disappeared so it says 1. I reg hacked the counter back to zero, then the next message (even if it is not multimessage) goes back to 1 of course, but does not reset after reading it. It will go up to 2 and 3 and so on but after reading it, it never goes back to 0 without me going to a PMedit and resetting the counter to 0. The question is, does this fix count stop this from happening in the future, or just solve the problem now. If it just solves the problem now, I can PMedit it each time as easily. If it solves the problem forever, I am eternally greatful. Any thoughts? BTW, this only started happening when I got the multi message and it hasn't gone away since.
Thanks.. Rick
Thank you so much. This worked for me. I didn't want to hard reset. Anyone know what causes this?
Just a reminder - after you run the program and perform the reset you have to OPEN THE INBOX for it to "refresh". I was dismayed to notice it was still there after the reset, but after opening the inbox it cleared right out. I noticed this was a problem before on my original tilt, and am glad to finally have a solution!!

YOU ARE DA MAN!!! I called HTC and the lady told me the only way was to do a hard reset. I told her if i was about to do a hard reset because of their crappy software, then I should at least get a new damn phone out of it....
Thank you so much! Great work!
Excellent piece of software
fixunreadcount.exe works exactly as described in this thread. Thanks very much indeed.
fixunreadcount.zip is the best thing I've found!!! I tried to solve it whole weekend on my Touch Pro 2, but only this app works correctly. Editing registry was useless and other tools too. Thanks a lot for that small useful app

Unread text message notification will not go away.

I was enjoying my new Touch Pro 2 from T-Mobile for over a month now and suddenly I noticed that Touch Flo 3D said I had a "new text message". I usually just check "all messages" so that I can see all text message "discussions" instead of one at a time or "read only" mode when you tap a contact and slide over to "sms". So this time I checked "all messages" and none of my messages were "unread". I even went through every conversation to make sure nothing was missing, not even an mms message.
I even turned off Touch Flo 3D thinking that was causing the issue, no dice. Everytime I go into the SMS app for Windows Mobile and look at the folder tree, I see "inbox (1)". So I downloaded a cab file from xda that allows "mark all as read" in the sms app. After installing/softresetting and choosing "mark all as read" from within the WinMo SMS app, this issue did not go away both in Touch Flo 3D and in the WinMo SMS app.
Finally I came across a link of someone having an issue with their HTC Hermes (Kaiser?). They made a program called "FixUnreadCount". This app shows that it is checking all mailboxes (including sms/mms) on the WinMo message app and determines which messages are actually "read" or not.
Once I got to the "sms" portion of the scan, it found that all messages had been read, but the notification was set to "1". It fixed this and moved on to check my other messages on the phone.
After the scan finished, I noticed that TF3D still thought I had an unread message so I softreset my Touch Pro 2 and that was it. Touch Flo 3D had synchronized with the WinMo messaging app and determined that there were no "unread" messages.
I felt I would post this up here since I know there are a lot of Touch Pro 2 owners out there and none of the other fixes worked for me. I also hope that this can be found easily in a search because finding the fix in the hermes forum was almost dumb luck.
I posted a link to the thread that has the file available for download. It's a zip file. I just downloaded the file via Opera directly onto my storage card, then extracted the file and ran the file after extracting. You may get a warning that says "unknown publisher" just tap allow and it should run just fine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1519862
Thank you, I've hard reset twice already because of this annoyance.
Thank you. Ran it once and after a soft-reset, all was fixed.
This fix worked for me to.
Much appreciated!
Thank you for the post!
Glad I could help. I know this was an issue that wasn't covered too well when I first learned about it. Making it easy for others.
Just use SafeInboxExtender
Once installed, go to your inbox (windows default, not TF3D), click menu, scroll down and click 'mark all as read'
That should do the trick, and its easy too.
i have been having this issue with my phone for months thanks so much for posting this, yur a life saver... really!!!!!!!!
Thanks for this soo much. I was about to flash my phone again cause I had this problem the first month I got my TP2 and looked online a lil' and could not find an answer... dat is why I luv this forum
I had this same issue and stupidly started a new thread without a thorough search (sorry).
Any ideas why it happened in the first place?
Well, I installed the SafeInboxExtender and clicked on Mark All As Read and the phone still says that I have one unread message. It didn't work for me. Any other ideas, guys?

So did you try FixUnreadCount followed by a soft reset, as in the first post?
Can someone please help me! I have downloaded this zip many times and it works for a few days then the phantom message appears again somedays totaling to like 5 new text so it says. Is there anything I can do to keep them away for good? I love my phone but this is driving me crazy!!!
NeoDMD
Thank you! Awesome fix. I've had this problem with several WinMo phones from time to time, usually after receiving several automated texts, and always had to hard reset the phone to fix the problem, which in this case, with the Tilt2, would have been a major hassle getting it just the way I like it again.
I changed my settings to the default UI and then ran the exe file, then switched back to TouchFlo 3D, but the count was still wrong, so I performed the soft reboot like you suggested and again, it was still there, so I just ran the zip file again and it was gone with out another reboot.
Thanks again.

works great thx a bunch

Unread text in message fix
and easy fix for this Is safe inbox extender it gives you the option to mark all messages as read something the original option fails to do so download it and no more hard resets
Laters
thank god it freakin worked! ive had to deal with this for months now!
the first time i ran it, it said it had taken out the message on the scan so i exited the scan and did a soft reset, and it didnt work. so then i ran the scan again and this time did the reset before exiting the scan, and that worked like a charm. so if your havin issues with it try that. thank you again so much for that, im glad someone finally figured this issue out

go to tools, then file explorer and find the file, select it then press the menu button, one of your selections should say "extract" (select it), then youll get a screen askin where you want to save it, just to make it easier on yourself save it to your storage card, once this is done go through your program files again and you should see 2 files with "fixunreadcount" (one is the folder logo which you just extracted from, the other is a little window logo thing which is the actual file), select the file with the window thing and it will then run the scan, after that press the reset button on the side of your phone. if it doesnt work the first time (it didnt for me), run the scan again and reset again and it should work

Haunted by message sent bubble

I have looked and can't seem to find the right solution. Obviously it is well known the small issue with the "SMS/MMS Message Sent" Bubble. I edited the registry so it would go away. About a month later it came back after a restart. I went back and changed the registry but this time it didn't go away. I found the .cab fix and installed it and it worked fine. However, once I restart it returns and is unaffected by registry edits for some crazy reason. The only thing that works is the .cab fix but it returns once I have to restart. Is there any reason it would ignore the registry edits and continue to come back?
This is TP2 with Stock WM6.5
sometimes reg edits don't stick after a soft reset. Try changing the registry, exiting out of the reg editor app and then power off the device (hold down power button) instead of soft reset. then boot it back up.
Also you could try to install advanced config and set it to not show the message sent notification from that app and see if it does a better job
No luck, the registry is set so both the HTC and verizon bubbles don't show up but I still get it, not both just the bubble one whichever one that is. Makes no sense.
Tried advanced config. Was already set to all notifications disabled. Not sure what else I can do
sms notify bye bye

No prob, we all do the same sometimes, and I figured that might be the case, so I went ahead and put the link in too Let us know if it works for you!
I too want to disable the "SMS Sent" bubble.
But when I ran adv config, it said that that feature was already disabled, so I guess I will try turning it "ON", then off and see if that works - and report back.
Well that doesn't help me...idk why my phone feels like ignoring the advanced config and the registry...can anyone help. Cab doesn't fix it, reg edit doesn't work, and advanced config doesn't
Is there more then one cab file made for this? I never had this issue with 6.1
Anybody know the answer? This is driving me nuts
I don't know which ROM you are running, but try setting the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMsg=2. That has worked for me in the past with the stock verizon 6.1 and 6.5 ROMs.
Wow looks like it worked. Why that works I have no idea. I am running Stock 6.5. Thanks a lot! Hopefully it doesn't come back again
+1 for the change value to 2! Thanks! I did it on my TP2 with 6.1 on it and since going to stock VZW 6.5 it was driving me nuts! Couldnt remember how to get rid of it again
