Hey guys. I've noticed that my new XDA2s is horribly slow and unstable in comparison to the XDA2 which it replaced courtesy of my insurance.
Anyway, thought that as its so appaulingly slow, the "close" feature of pocketplus would be brilliant for speeding things up a tad (and hopefully stopping the chronic crashing).
Anyhow, although it works, it seems to make sending text messages... well interesting. They take up to 4 minutes to send IF they send at all.
My friend with a 2s (with imate ROM) also experiences the same problem. Anyone found a way around it? Sorry if this has already had a thread, I'm a bit of a n00b and I dont think I understand the forum search properly lol.
Cheers -Mike
Hiya Mike,
The trick is to not let Pocket Plus close the Messaging program. To do this, go to Pocket Plus options, select the close button options and select the "Exceptions" tab. Add the messaging program (should be "tmail.exe") to the list and this should solve your problem.
Craig.
that sure helps!
cheers!
I can't believe I didn't think of that! Lol. Cheers bud, I'll give it a go when I get back to my docking station
Perfect Thanks for the help.
I've just added Pocket Plus today and within 4hrs, i've soft reset it 3 times. Does anyone know why? I'm using XDA IIs with Pocket Informant and Pocket Breeze. My wireless standby light still flashes green but the Today screen is completely frozen.
Does anyone know why? or maybe offer some insite as to why?
Thank you.. !
Same for me until I stopped playing with SPB Pocket Plus options. Leave them alone and all should be well. I contacted SPB and they said they couldn't replicate the problem but many others on this forum have had problems.
My Xda 2s need resetting about 4 times a day regardless. It likes to freeze when I press the hardware buttons. I reckon if I do 4 different tasks (ie. recieve a call, send a message, listen to a song and open Word for example) I can rely on having to coft reset. Mina does th same as described above. It also likes to not bring up caller ID, or I get calls which connect, but hang up on the other person. I'm really surprised this thing passed trading standards :s
Hi
I have had my unit for a week now and although I have to do a soft reset about twic a day as it gets slow or locked up, I do love it.
One thing I do have to change though, is the fact that the notification sounds are limited and for me not good enough to "Alert" me.
They seem to be more like gentle nudges rather than a "YOU HAVE A MESSAGE,,DAMN YOU".
Ive missed messages and only seen later on the envelope icon.
Is there a way to change this?
Maybe new tones?
or maybe continuous bleeps telling you something has happend and not just I little light you will not see when in your pocket.
Thanks
TK
May have answered my own question.
found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=27074&highlight=mp3+ringtone
Will give it a try.
Hi TK London
Check out www.pocketmax.net for the alarmToday and PhoneAlarm applications. They will give you highly customizable AUDIBLE and REPEATING alerts for all phone and PDA functions.
The built in repeating aler functions in the PPCPE are not very reliable, but these fime apps fix the problem, plus give you some very useful profile set ups, which alloe you quickly switch between different alert profiles (slient, loud, what you need at home, at the office etc) without having to go in and modify all the settings each time
Hope this helps
Regards
Chris
yeah how do you get it so it the message tone bleeps every so often ???
Never Miss SMS Again - This tweak will enable you to never miss an SMS message again, it will enable fast blinking mode on new SMS messages that are recieved so you will never miss those important ones!!In the registry simply change the following values -
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\SMS
change the default value to - pf1w99999f0
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Keypress
Change the default value to - pf0

After trying to do this, I messed up my phone. It no longer alerts me when I recieve text messages. Also, it won't let me go into my Sound settings from the Setting option.
Someone please help! What is the default value to those two parameters? Thank you in advance!
can anyone please help!?
You guys must be kidding me! All this other tech. support and no one can take not even ONE minute to look in their reg. and get me the default value's for the above fields. Come on guys! It'll take not even 1 minute to do so! Please help out.
Can't Access Sounds Settings
Even after a hard reset on my Dash I can't access my sounds settings. I can access all other settings except this. I am pretty stumped. I think I am going to try the htc rom unless someone else has an idea. This has me concerned though as the hard reset should have fixed it. It also pretty much locks up the phone when I do it. I can answer calls and such, but I can't open any programs.
Whelp, I tried the update and still no dice. Phone has been great until now. This actually really pisses me off. I can't deal with not being able to change sounds.
Finally figured it out! It was trying to read the memory card which had a movie on it and use the movie as a ringtone option. I still don't know how to turn that off, but at least I know how to be able to change sounds when I need to.
Thanks !!!!!
... for this tip. I already hard-resetted my device twice. I don't know why this happens, but now I know what to do.

problem with calls and text messages
hey guys, i dont know if anybody else has experienced this, but every once in a while, maybe once or twice a day, when i get a call, the phone rings once, and then it tells me i have a missed call. the person who is calling tells me that it rings multiple times and then goes to voicemail. i'm using t-mobile, and using the wm5 that came with it...any help would be great
also, with text messages, its not a problem, but i was wondering if there is anyway i can get the phone to ring and vibrate when i recieve a message. the sound is soo low, that half the time i dont knwo i have a message till hrs later. thanks
omar
What model of phone do you use? In which language/country?
Best

No sound for Reminders (T-Mobile WM6)
Hi,
I just installed the new WM6 ROM on my Dash, and the Reminders will no longer play a sound, only vibrate. From Settings->Sounds, changing the sound for reminders does not play it like it does for other settings (Ring tone, New e-mail, etc.). The Menu->Play option from the screen will not play the sound if Reminders is selected.
Anyone else running the new ROM having the same issue?
I am -- thought it was because I was trying to use my own sounds, WMA files that worked fine on WM5. After reading your post, tried changing the reminder sound to anything built into ROM, and found it to be as you described... Hmmm... Maybe it's 'final release candidate' ROM?

Me too!
Ack, I thought this happened because I had been tweaking the registry since I upgraded. If my memory serves me correctly, the alarms worked just after I upgraded, but then they stopped working after I did registry tweaks for several different things. I'll have to go back and remove the changes one by one to see which one did the dirty deed.
Here are the changes that I remember making:
Disable the slider sounds: /HKCU/ControlPanel/JogBar/Settings/EnablePlaySound
Used SetJogBar to re-enable the Joggr functionality
Made the change to enable Voice Command over my BT headseat:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTA GExtModule
I probably did some others, but am not remembering them right now.
B0gey & Chaz: did you make registry changes before you noticed the reminder function stopped working?
C.
I did, but couldn't tell you if it worked before I made these changes, as I hadn't tried changing sounds yet.
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001005 = 40
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MAPI] (this doesn't work in WM6)
--"AttachPath"="\\Storage Card\\Inbox\\Attachments"
--"PropertyPath"="\\Storage Card\\Inbox"
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings
--UseJointStereo set to 0
The only one that seemed to be sound related was the bluetooth change, so I put it back to 1 to rule it out as being related, no change.
I'd be more inclined to think a registry entry to have an effect on all sounds, not just the reminder one?
I haven't touched the registry (or modified any sound settings) at all. I noticed it this morning when a reminder was set to go off and instead of hearing the sound I expected it vibrated.
******* Fix Is Here *******
I spent about 2 minutes in the Registry and found the offending registry value...
Go into the following Key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Reminder\
and set the 'InitVol' value from 0 to 2
You will have reminders again, without reboot
I sure hope they aren't launching with this firmware
Thanks... worked, but '2' is a different volume than the rest of the stuff in my Default Profile, looks like you can go up as high as 5? I did, seems to match. Odd there isn't a way to control the Reminder volume level without going into the registry. The Profile volume settings had no effect on it.

Yes, it looks very much like a bug. The profile volume settings should change that, but apparently don't in this version.
mine work fine. I just checked my reg setting and it wasn't 0, it was 3.
I changed a couple settings in my Normal profile and that's it - all from the menu.

Woot...that worked!

That did the trick! Thanks for the fix. I'll have to pass this on to another coworker of mine that ran into this problem too.

Hiya.
Im using my TP2 for two month and Im really satisfied with this phone (as I did with TyTnII (thanks for tab and ok keys there ;-).
But few things bother me so Im trying to ask here:
1) Default action in email is reply all. Is it possible to change it to reply?
2) incomming SMS have long vibration time. Where can I to make it shorter?
3) When Im calling someone and he pick it up, it vibrate. But too short, can it be longer?
4) there is possible to set phone to switch to external microphone when its faced down. But in spite of the fact that I have it checked, it doesnt work :-(
5) row, where is battery, time and notification pole is everything extept battery notification filed. It means that anywhere I click Notifications is opened. What bother me the most is, that there is for example new email and when I click on it nothing happened ;-(. Rhodium Pack should solve this problem, but its not avaible anymore because of some licence problem.
6) I was always using another than original rom. In TP1 I was using song recognize program, TCPMP, etc. Can someone give me advice, what ROM is now the best? What ROMs are you using and why? Can someone explain me what are shortcuts in the names (WWE etc)? Im in Western Europe, but why its so important?
Thanks a lot!!
John
I don't know the answers to everything, but I know that there are places in the registry that can be removed (named OutlookEnhancement) to remove the reply all. Here is one area to look:
[HKLM\Services\OutlookEnhancement]
"DLL"="OutlookEnhancement.dll"
Remove the OutlookEnhancement.dll field. I'm sure if you searched for something like remove reply all, you will find hits on it explaining how to do it.
I've seen the long vibrate on text, and haven't felt the need to change it but every now and then a bug happens where it vibrates REALLY long, like over a minute, and then I just hit a button to stop it.
I've never seen a Vibrate on Connect modification to let it vibrate longer.
Mine usually switches to external mic when I flip it upside down. I've had it not to it once or twice. Does your G-Sensor work in applications? Maybe Calibrate it? And try it on a level non moving surface (like a table).
WWE means World Wide English. Best ROM questions usually go unanswered here. Everyone's preferences for a favorite rom are different. Line up and sample the Chef's selections and see which one tastes best to you
Good morning,
I seem to have a slight problem. Whenever I take my phone off the silent mode (which is not a lot) and put it either on notify with a sound or buzz it does not do anything when I get a text unless I leave the screen on. Strangely enough it does work when I get an incoming call.
Is this because I have it on silent for days on end? Or is there something wrong?
Even though its not a massive problem for me, it is somewhat annoying sometimes, as at times I want to be notified
Hope someone can help me!
Regards,
priscilla
I believe this the same problem I am having! Was just about to make a post about it.
The message tone doesnt go off when the recieving a new message. Never really wondered whether it had anything to do with turning it off silent before though.
I've had mine for about a week and this issue is really frustraing me, as I've recently had a major ear operation which has rendered me half deaf. So its not helping much
Any help would be great!
Notification Reminder
I was having a lot of trouble with my new TP2 because I was missing all my notifications. The thing is in my pocket always but I had to pull it out and look at the screen every 15 minutes just to see if I was missing anything.
The solution for me is a program that I use on my Treo Pro:
http://discussion.treocentral.com/treo-pro/177846-treo-alert-pro-treo-pro.html
This nifty little thing will keep bugging you (if you want it to) until you pay attention.
giving this a bash, cheers mate
i had the same issue. i found two different problems. 1 touchflo would not enable all the sound when taken off silent. i disabled touchflo and had this problem again. after some research i went to settings/sounds and notifications/notifications tab. the box was unchecked for programs and alarms. checked the box no more problems

Ah, I think that that is my problem! I'll give it a try later as I'm off in a few minutes
A big thanks to all the other people that gave a solution too If this doesn't work, I'll try the program.
