Missing 'missed call' icon on homescreen - HTC Excalibur

Hi,
I recently tried out DontForget for my Dash and had problems so I uninstalled it. Now my 'Missed Call' icon at the top of the homescreen no longer works (i.e. if I miss a phone call there is no icon displayed). Is there a registry fix or something that I can do to get it working again so that I don't have to do a hard reset for something so small? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I had the sam problem, a reboot fixed it for me (turn dash off then on again). I use Best Reminder now, it works perfectly.

Thanks Bupahs,
I had to soft reset three times for it to work, but it finally kicked in. DontForget also defaulted all my reminder sounds to 'Ding' upon un-install, had to reset all of them. Wow, I had problems with their free version (endless reboots, etc.) and was hoping that all was good with the new $15 (US) version. I guessed wrong.
Thanks for the Best Reminder tip. Great program at a reasonable price.

Phone Pad Vibrate

Edited an old cab to remove the version limits. It now works on Wm6.
Install and then dial a number from the standard phone dial pad to test! You should feel a short vibrate when you tap a number button letting you know that it's been tapped.
Add it to your CAB file collection.

What exactly does this do, with Phone Pad? Sounds interesting
It vibrates shortly each time, you press number in dial pad... or I guess, coz it did not work on my TyTN
but mayby is problem with some SPB products, because I have lot of them installed in my TyTN... e.g. phone suite, which can manipulate automatically with sound, vibration and light according to profile settings...
YUP! When you go to the dial screen and tap a number a small vibrate lets you know that a button has been pressed.
I'm also using bunches of SPB programs, but I still get the Vibrate from the standard dial screen.

It works on my Hermes but you have to long-press the key. Press for at least a half second to get the vibrate motor spinning.
Also, be sure to set either "short" or "long" tones in the phone options. It won't do anything if set to "none."
Hey thanks for converting to WM6 I had been missing it for awhile now!
Any chance this will work in WM5? Please and thanks.
Yeah this is soooooooooooo useful tip man, thanks a lot !!^^
Uninstall Issues...
I liked the idea, just didn't like the fact that you have to push the button for so long to get hte vibrate to react, just a fraction longer and it turns into a speed dial. So let's talk about the uninstall....
I unstalled the app, everything went normal. Now I have no keypadd tones at all.
hshortt, can you provide a fix or provide the registry keys that this install/uninstall modified?
EDIT: Nevermind, fixed on my own...
Works with the HTC Touch / Vouge. Just had to do a soft reset twice. For some reason after the first time, the touch screen stopped responding.
I'd like to know what you did to get your keyapd tones back, this program sucks!!!

guys i have tried the solution in the above link, it didnt work out.
if i exported the registry files from a non screwd device, and exported to my mine... will it work out?
This program is not very effective, cause when I tap out a phone number naturally I tap it quickly, and you have to hold for at least 300ms (I reckon) for it to even do a little vibrate.
it somehow needs to be much more sensitive, lower ms or something. Maybe its a limitation of the whole vibrate mechanism in the phone anyway.
Oh well.
Lost All Sounds
after installing i lost all sound output from my back speaker
no music, no ringtones, nothing
it only made my phone pad vibrate but screwed up all other sound output
tried to uninstall & still no fix
also hard reset & gflashing ROM again didnt fix
did it screw up my device completely !!!!!!!!!!
any fix please???
Vibrate dial pad
Thank you ! This is just what I was looking for
Sorry.Didn't find how to delete message
Hi pretty neat program, until I found a better one TouchResponse... This one allows you to even select the vibration time, and it vibrates on every tap on your touch screen. Well the problem is I un-installed Phone Pad Vibrate and now the the sound is gone when I press a phone number. The link for the fix isn't working, so how do I fix it so I can get the sound back???
Did the link for removal instructions get moved/removed for this?
The link from above is still broken. Anyone have instructions on how to remove this app?
could someone upload it on rapidshare, because i canĀ“t load it, thank you

Desperate - Need Ideas

Was running ATT WM5 and all was well. Flashed to Offical ATT WM6 using SPL2.1. Now I'm at ROM 3.62.502.3 1.54.07.00 32.86u.7020.23H. At this point, still ok. Installed PPTFix to remap button 5 to Voice Speed Dial and setup Plantronics head set. Still ok. Added some email accounts and a customized background. All ok. Synced Contacts, Notes, etc. Still ok. Decided I didn't like the Comm and Battery Icons on the bottom tray and ran MobileRegistryEditor and changed values from 1 to 0. Still ok the rest of afternoon and last night.
Got up this morning, did a soft reset, and everything went to hell. Booted normally up to the green Windows screen, then hung there for 3 or 4 minutes. Finally got to the Today screen, but all apps run like honey on a cold morning. I can use VoiceCommand to place calls and I can Dial out Manually, but if I tap my contacts button, no contacts show up. Email won't send/receive, but I can get incoming calls. Today screen shows correct appointments and task, but tap Calandar and they don't show up there.
Before I do anything else, I wanted to get some ideas on where to start.
Pretty sure hiding the comm manager was your problem
I'm pretty sure hiding the comm manager icon was your problem, I've heard there are numerous problems when you hide the comm manager icon. Change that key back and see if your problems go away.
KarhU said on the ROM benchmark :
6. Never hide the WirelessManager Tray Icon at the bottom.
Don't believe me?
Try it and feel the difference.
This is the key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WirelessMgr]
"Keep"=dword:00000000 ;<--- (dword:00000000 to hide and dword:00000001 to show)
Yeah, I've seen this issue in many of the recent WM6 ROM Threads. It's a true shame, since it means we're stuck with having to keep the bottom tray visible. I (for one) do not like that waste of screen space.
Too bad the fix for this anomaly is so elusive.
-pvs
Thanks for the help. It looks like the Comm Mgr icon may have been the problem. My 8525 wouldn't connect to the Internet, Email or (thru Active Sync) to my desktop. Finally went into Settings/System/Clear Storage and it completely reloaded WM6. Reinstalled all my extra apps and things are fine. Of course I haven't tried to edit the registry and get rid of those bottom icons, and I don't think I'm going to. If anyone finds a sure method to get rid of the bottom system tray, please post.

5 direct questions about TF3D

Dear all,
Have been searching the forums for a couple of days now, but to not much avail. I've got my TP2 configured just nicely with the 1% battery meter, (A)GPS tweaks etc but a few other things I just cannot figure out and hope you can all help me out.
Registry tweaking etc is fine, just so long as I can do what I need to. I'm using an unbranded European GSM TP2 bought just the other day.
1. On the "Quick List" menu; which I get into by holding down the red/end button, I can turn data sessions/flight mode etc on or off, or the vibrate function. How can I change what options are displayed in this menu?
2. How can I activate/achieve in-call recording (there's fragments of this on the board but no real definitive answer I can see).
3. While I use SPB Menu 3.0.1, when I go into the phone dialler, the "Contacts" soft key in the bottom left doesn't work. I think it's because I have TF3D disabled and SPB Menu instead, but can I remap this back to the default, original Microsoft contacts app which I prefer?
4. How can I keep WiFi switched on while the screen is off (seen a couple of apps I think to achieve this, a nice switchable app would be great).
5. How to (on SPB Menu 3.0.1) change the default contacts app away from the built-in SPB contact menu which is awful, and back to the default Microsoft one?
Finally, I share everyone's frustration about the lack of Bluetooth voice dialling. Having mailed HTC and gotten no decent reply back, I'm as annoyed as the next person... but I think the 6.5 ROM release from HTC if/when it appears will fix things up from "reading between the lines" of some of the replies from HTC I received.
Thanks all in advance,
Adam.

modify "\Windows\Long_End.lnk". let it point to an application that shows something else.

by default wifi is on when only the screen is off. if the device is in standby wifi also turns off. to change this set:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\BCMSDDHD1\Parms]
"HTCKeepWifiOnWhenUnattended"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\TNETW12511\Parms]
"HTCKeepWifiOnWhenUnattended"=dword:00000001
Dear all,
mastermarv, thanks for the reply.
You said "modify "\Windows\Long_End.lnk". let it point to an application that shows something else."
-- Any ideas of an application that produces a menu similar to the TP2 Quick List menu, but with different, modifiable options?
Anyone any ideas on questions 3 and 5?
Thanks again everyone for a great community!

Hey everyone,
Just in case anyone else searches and sees this, I've got an udpate:

-- This was all the fault of SPB Menu 3.0.1. Anyone else having a problem accessing Contacts from the default Dialler or Phone Screen should remove SPB Menu 3.0.1 and go back to version 2.1.5 or keep using TouchFlo instead. There's no word from SPB on their website as to a timescale for a fix on this and it's a total deal breaker for me, not being able to access standard Contacts list/menu or choose mobile/work/home/etc from a contact in that list!

Notification problem: tap on new mail doesn't do anything

Hi,
I've noticed that when I get new mail, I get the little mail icon at the top of the screen. I tap and get the notification manager. When I tap on the new mail item, nothing happens. It's just an annoyance because normally I wouldn't bother and just go straight to the inbox, but jas anyone else come across and know of a solution please?
Cheers,
Pete
Hi there,
Just wanting to check in to see if anyone is having this problem.
To recap, when I tap on the notification area and get the list of notifications, if I tap on ANY notification (whether mail, SMS or reminder) nothing happens. All I can do is exit from the notification manager or dismiss all.
Anyone else seeing this please?
Thanks,
Pete
thats how it is with the stock rom im pretty sure...if you download something called the "topaz notification" it will enable you to do what ur trying to plus go directly to more specific settings directly from the notification manager...i used it on stock verizon...try it out...hit the thanks if it works
Thanks, I'll have a search and try it out

Notification problem - alarms as well
I have a similar issue - if I have an Alarm reminder and go to the Notification Screen, I can't select it - all I can do is dismiss it (actually dismiss all) and I can't see what the reminder was....any ideas out there?
same problem
I have the same problem and will be very gratefull if someone has a solution.
Also had that problem. I just figured it was caused by one of the programs I had installed. After removing several programs and resetting the device to default status, I still had the problem. So I decided it was time for a hard reset. That solved my problem. Drastic solution I admit, but it fixed the problem
I have the same problem with new messages and missed calls.
They wont be shown when I tap on it on the notification manager...
Just pinging this thread again to see if anyone might have ideas how to resolve this without a hard reset...

Just got Tilt 2 yesterday...Error saying "Can't turn on bluetooth"

I just picked up my tilt 2 yesterday and up until right now it's been great. I turned off my bluetooth last night before I went to bed, and when I try to turn it on now it gives me an error saying, "Can't turn on bluetooth". I'm trying to turn it on via the Wireless Manager.
Can somebody please help? This is extremely annoying.
I don't know if I understand you well, but here is what I think you could do:
tap on the top bar and you will get the notification manager. On top you will see a bar with your carrier name. On the right of that bar there is an icon that shows the strenght of your carrier. Tap that icon and you will end up in the communication manager. There you should be able to turn BT on or off.
Hope this is helpfull.
regards, Kuzibri

Thanks for the response. This is what I tried doing, and when I try to enable bluetooth I get that error. I'm thinking unfortunately I may have to hard reset already
sorry I could not help you, but I would try several soft resets before a hard reset.
That's okay, you tried!! I tried about 10 soft resets. It looks like I have no choice.
good luck and I hope that the hard reset will do the job for you!!
OOPS, before I forget: do you use RamSweeper? If yes, then this is the problem and not your TP2. Please let me know if you use this program and I will tell you how to avoid this BT problem.
No I do not use RamSweeper. I actually just did a hard reset and bluetooth works fine now. Very weird.
Since turning off bluetooth I've installed SlingPlayer, vibra switch (to turn phone on vibrate fast), and thats all.
OK, nice to hear and good luck. Maybe either Slingplayer or vibra switch is the cause of your problem. Maybe its good to try this out before running into the same problem again.
Thank you for the help. I just installed SlingPlayer and bluetooth still works. I'm going to wait on the vibra switch software because it isnt 100% needed with the Tilt 2. I can always just push the volume down until it's on vibrate.
Thanks again!!
Hey Kuzibri just wanted to let you know that this was the problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=522373 I forgot that I installed TomTom on there!
I dont know if you still logon or not... my bluetooth wont turn on I tried hard reseting but still get teh status msg "can't turn bluetooth on' any idea how to fix it?
