Just got my TP2 and need some help! - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Hello all! I just got my TP2 2 days ago and I'm very excited, Despite the 1mm wooble on screen witch is barely noticable and as I understand a common phenomenon, it's excellent! I have one question though, I have installed some programs and I wanna uninstall them, I can't find any add or remove programs setting to do this, I search in setting but nothing. So how can I uninstall? Thanks! Btw, ppl that didnt yet buy this device and thinking to do it, stop thinking and grab one while it's hot!

Click Start
Click settings
Click All Settings at the bottom of the screen
Select System tab
Scroll down to the Remove Programmes icon
Click it and you will see a list of stuff you have installed
Click the one you want and click remove
HTH

Thank you very much , will try it asap!

How to enable alphabetic sidebar for contacts?

Hey all,
in WM6 there is (on some roms) a slim "sidebar" next to the contact list with A-Z on it.
It helps you navigate quickly. Does anyone know how to activate it? A friend of mine had it but accidentally disabled it, now we cant figure out how to enable it again.
If you do not know what i am talking about, you can see it on this picture (second row, second column):

Thanks a lot.
PS: I tried the search but its kind of hard to find if you dont know what its called.

nice hint...works now!!!
Thanks
Thanks for the tip.
However, my Random Access bar only works 70% of the time. The rest of the time only a simple scroll bar appears.
It seems to work more often if I launch Contacts then fully exit and re-launch Contacts a second time. Wierd.
Anyone else experience this?
i installed this, but the vertical alpha list bar does not work.
i do not even see the app under program window. do i need to invoke this?
how do i make this work??

Thanks bro, I like the look of it , I'm sure I'll like it even more when I get used to the layout.
shouldn't you install everything to the device?
what's the advantage of installing it to the storage card?
Anyone having trouble with the "windows\start menu" and this tool ?
When I navigate to that folder when SmartToolKit is installed, my screen starts flickering when I browse to the first shortcuts (Active sync,..)
Allready tried a hardreset and reflashed the rom (NRG Rose Rom v1.7 - Remade by Ricky and Stylez ), but no luck. Problem shows itself after installing SmartToolKit (RC08)
Will try to upload a vid showing the problem.

To keep space on the device the only things i would advise installing to device is things that load @ startup as device memory is read faster and also the Movie Player as you are reading the Movie from memory card.
Reason to keep more space on the device as it slows down access when you fill up just like a HD even though it is solid state.

Yes I try to keep as much as possible on my storage card, unless is a program, like you said that it necessarily needs to be in the device.
oh now i know
This is a sweet app, I dunno why I waited until now to try it out. I heard people mention it affects battery life, how bad does it affect the battery? Does it make a noticable difference? Im using a fatty 2200 mAh.

Restart Dash App

Is there an app that can restart the dash at a particular time? Say 4:00, right before i get up so i will have a fresh phone in the mornin. I did look at CT scheduler but i would prefer a free application. Thanks in advance!

Don't think u can with SmartToolKit
You know CTScheduler is cheap for what it does, set up clean RAM every 6 hours, restart phone when asleep, text the gf without me having to use the phone and more........
I have been using snooze for about a year now with no problems, it is a free alarm program that can do about anything.
Here is where you can download it.

Yeah you can. Pull up the start menu and arrow right to get to the next page...then choose "My Schedules" then press the right soft button and choose to create a new schedule. You then have the choices of scheduling phone restarts, programs to run, etc.
Hope this help!

Wierd things with windows 6.5

Hey all,
Asking for help AGAIN!!!
I installed the windows mobile 6.5 update yesterday evening.
All in all i think it's fantastic, still falls behind some OS's but its a great update.
I have a couple of questions thought, and i'm hoping that someone can help.
the first one, i hope is just me not seing something.
on the start screen (after hitting the windows key) i think the new display is great, but i can find a way to move them about and personalise it so the prograns i want are where i want them. how do i do this?
the second is a little more complicated i think. I recently bought g-alarm(which i love) but to register it, you need an owner name on the phone's system.
I cant findwhere to change the owner name on WM6.5, i can change the device name easy. but i cant find the owner name anywhere.
any enlightenment would be great.
Thanks guys
TM411
I assume you mean the honeycomb start menu. In order to change them or move them around you need to tap and hold on the icons.
To set owner name is Start/settings/personal/owner information
Press and Hold the icons to move them.
Try this CAB to enable the owner info, just install and reset.
Is there a way to add/remove Icons from the start menu?
Thanks Guys
I did try the hold and move, but the only option i get is to move to top.
is this right?
the owner information button isn't in the personal setings section.
Hmmmm
what have HTCdone?
i downloaded the official upgrade from the site, surely they didnt remove important things from it?
thanks for the cab,
i shall try it later
Saying that.....
I wouldn't mind knowing if i can delete stuff from the start screen.
Not sure i need the "Getting started"
lol

Try the CAB. The fact that it's missing is a bug . See the main "Official 6.5" thread in ROM Dev.

You can drag stuff about the start menu by pressing and holding, removing stuff and adding folders is the same a Windows PC. use File Explorer to goto \Windows\Start Menu\Programs.

No you can't. Well, at least I can't - press and hold and the only thing you can do is "Move to top".
Dave, thanks for that. I didn't realise it was quite as simple.
The icons also move about as they should with a press and hold.
Cheers

You sort of can. Here's what you need to do.
1. Go into the "\windows\start menu\programs" directory.
2. Create a folder. Cut & Paste all the shortcuts you deem unnecessary into that folder.
3. Go into the properties screen of that folder and toggle on the "Hidden" setting.
4. Soft-reset.
I've yet to find out how I can get rid of "HTC Calendar.lnk" and "HTC People.lnk". They disappear if I disable HTC Sense (ie, TF3D, Manila, etc). But they keep coming back if HTC Sense is enabled. I've tried deleting the shortcuts but they just regenerate after each soft-reset or if I disable and then re-enable HTC Sense.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!
You guys are awesome
The cab worked a treat.
The start menu i shall play with later.
Thank for the help

Same for me. Sometimes I get an additional choice of 'Move Down' !! What's happening? Mine is the ATT Tilt2 4 days old . . .
I am also curious how some people are able to hold and drag. It was my understanding from reading various WM6.5 reviews that it is not possible.
For the rest of us mere mortals, I recommend JWMD Icon Changer for reordering the start menu. It has worked well for me. One thing to keep in mind though: it will not reorder any icons you've marked as "Favorite" which means when you right click and select Move To Top. If you want to be able to sort them, you'll have to un-favorite them by selecting Move Down.

Very stupid question

So after having my new Tilt 2 for a couple of days I was cleaning out my inbox and I realized that because there is no d-pad I cannot select an e-mail without opening it, unless I have the keyboard out and use the arrows
This means that if I want to delete an e-mail that is not at the top of the list I need to press once to open, once to open menu and again to delete. Does not seem right.
I think I saw something that allowed the zoom slider to be used as a dpad of sorts but I actually like it the way it is.
I feel really stupid asking this and I did search but could not easily find an asnwer.
click on the small letter, you will see the menu that will allow use to manage the mail without seeing it.

You can also press and hold the message in the list you wish to do something with and you will get the same list of actions as if you tapped on the small letter.
