don't know why the tweaks that worked for my other phones is not working here.
I have WKTasks task manage tabbed to see what's running/easy switcing. Like all WM ppc, I see ActiveSync popup every minute, and I disable it. Using WKTasks to make it invisible is just like sweeping the dirt under the rug, i.e. useless, so with other phones, my solution has always been:
fdcsoft task manager3.1 disable replog appRunAfterTimeChange to stop MSActivSync from popping up.
However, the fdcsoft setting is having NO effect in my US TMO TP2. Is there another program I need to install to make these tweaks stick?
I asked the same question in another post re: can't disable aGPS. schaps's adv config 3.3 settings are not sticking either, so I'm missing something obvious here, I just can't find it.
look @ this > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4246210&postcount=217
i found no other way to disable repllog.exe(acitvesync)
greetz
^ Thanks, yes, that is a solution and I'd come across your post in my search, but didn't use it because of:
there are 3 repllog.exe in Notifications. Two of them are actually useful, like having ActiveSync wake up when usb/serial cable detected, or when manually pressed. The 3rd one "appRunAfterTimeChange" is the MSexchange one I can't disable, which was easy to do in my other devices, Herald/Kaiser/TP1. But with the TP2, the changes are not sticking, and the rom overwrites the changes as soon as the screen blanks.
I know I'm missing some kind of application unlocker or sdkcertificates to make the changes stick, and I don't remember doing anything else in my other phones.
The only way to prevent repllog from popping up again after every n min, is to create a fake activesync connection and set both the schedule (peak and offpeak) to manual. This is on top of removing the time changed notification. I did that and I dun have the repllog popping up all the time. And that bugger drains quite a fair bit of battery.
Thanks all, unlike the other devices, I had to do ALL 3 THINGS to stop ActiveSync from popping up on the TP2:
1. disable repllog.exe appRunAfterTimeChange notification using fdcsoft task manager3.1
2. create a fake ActiveSync server
3. "uncheck" the automatic time zone under Phone Settings.
here's the solution from the Kaiser.

What's wrong with activesync popping up? I never had it pop up while using the phone for no reason only when I connect it to the computer when I need to use it.

Has Any one found a program or hack that aloows you to close the running programs when you hit the little X ? It seems simple but Im not sure why they made it so they still run when you close the program for all of the applications. When I pess the X I'm done what about you all?

Many people have found many ways of doing it. A search will open this world up to you.
Here's a good way to do it though:
http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/smclose.shtml
As I said, there are other ways, it may be in your interest to get a wider opinion before diving in to smclose.

Thanks thats what I was looking for I will let you know how it works.
I use one called Close All. Basically a red X that when executed will close all running apps. Very handy. Much quicker than Start>Settings>System>Memory>Running Programs>Stop All.
I've tried a lot of these and all suffer the problem of not being able to close the phone dialer and most bork some how. ActiveSync can also be a pain closing, but some tools are better than others.
My personal favs are:
vbar: http://www.vieka.com/vbar.htm
magicbutton: http://www.trancreative.com/mb.aspx
I've stuck with magicbutton til I find something that reliably closes the apps above and provides it's simplicity and functionality. I use the battery meter it provides as I have the systray off (until I find something remotely useful for that area). Also I can hide dialer and async and also set them to keep alive, which both keeps them happy and me not seeing them unless I want to
Anyways, plenty of choices, most can be found on google using a search phrase like "pocketpc task manager" or ppc... etc. Gl.
any programs that could be customized (we can choose) whether if we like to close it or just minimize it?
eg: for file explorer if we tap close button then it will close the application, but for messaging if we tap close button then it only minimize it.
yeah many pda programs dont like being terminated in that way
doing it just after sending a sms is giving ppl problems with 2 sms's sendt and sms iron not going away from the title bar
other programs would prob also act up thinking of data not being saved correct
since i suspect some pda programs only really save in when they are closed the normal way as in by the OS
I did try the magicbutton and it seem to work better than the smclose I havnt tried the other yet let know and thanks for the help all this is a great source of information for the 8125 and htc phones.
Thumbs way up!!!!
Vap: VJOkButt has a specific mode for closing the phone, -phclose.
It will close the phone, but it's not advisable to close the phone because it introduces a minor incompatibility - trying to dial from the contacts app will cause problems. However, if you never do this, it'll save you a few 100k.
I've also written two apps specifically to close the phone, I think one if VJPhoneToggle or something.
Again, closing activesync is not advisable because if you're connected through GPRS/Wifi etc, it'll hangup your connection. In most use the app will be hidden from view anyway. VJOkButt ignores ActiveSync.

Hi there,
Playing with Crossbow for a while now and here is what problems I encountered:
==============================================================================
1. No Videocalling support.
This is a well known one by now. Hope the fix is there soon!
2.Windows Live Messenger contacts to be synced with own Outlook contacts.
Also a well known one and very annoying as well. As annoying as it is, I guess I can live with that.
3. "Suggesting words when entering text" automatically enabled after soft reset.
Also very annoying. I always disable this function just because I don't want the device to suggest words while I'm typing. Seems to be a bug.
4. Homepage cannot be set in Internet Explorer.
The option is actually there in "Options", but the entry field is disabled, so it will keep Google.com as default home page. You can still set the home page by change the corresponding key in the register, but I think it should be possible just to set it in the Internet Explorer itself.
5. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth cannot be activated/deactivated by using the "Wireless" today screen item.
Better yet: the entire "Wireless" today item isn't doing anything when you click it.
6. ClearVue PDF comes up with an error when opening a PDF document.
Sometimes it will open a file, but most of the time it won't. You can use PDF files by installing Adobe Reader 2.0, but ofcourse it just has to work with the built-in ClearVue.
7. Freeze after soft reset.
Sometimes the device just freezes when rebooting after a soft reset.
Sometimes at the "Enter pin" screen, somtimes after entering the pin code.
Soft resetting again solves the problem. Bug?
==============================================================================
That's the list.
I hope this information means some value to you who are improving Crossbow!!
4) use registry
3) no need to edit it in registry, just click yourself through settings<br>
Start / Settings / Input / Word Completition.<br><br>
And I think it is not bug, but feature. If it wouldnt be switched on, you might not know your device can do it
because you either selected us as your location or you didn't select one and us is default
yes you were right, thanks. Tried to delete that post but no luck.
2) Actually, you can prevent that the synchronization of Messenger contacts results in unwanted contacts in Outlook:
- Before you sign in to Messenger, do the following
- Open Outlook (either on your PC or on your mobile device)
- For each of the contacts you've defined both in your Outlook and in your Messenger contact lists, specify the instant-messaging (e-mail) address of the Messenger-contact in the Outlook-contact; in the field called "IM" (in Outlook Mobile) or "IM Address" (in Outlook 2007)
- If you did the previous on your PC, synchronize your Mobile device with your PC
- Then sign in to Messenger on your mobile device
Now, when you open your Contacts application, you can see which contacts are online...

It IS a bug. I don't want this function to be enabled, so I switched it off. After a softreset it's always switched on again.
Mate your a bug! I am a systems analyst ok. A bug is something that DOES NOT WORK! Not something that doesn't work the way you like it!!
I see this trick every day. People request modifications that they want urgently by posting them as bugs.
Stop wasting midget's time. A new WM 6 ROM is important and needs to be tested and DE-BUGGED so amateurs like you can modify to your hearts content while power users like US can run a stable operating system.
I don't mean any offense but posts like yours waste our time - for example I receive these live via push email and feel compelled to review them in case there really is a BUG I need to be aware of.
My advice to you - go and buy a second hand palm & go play in the traffic...

Not that I care, but:
-Videocalling is supposed to work, and doesn't. That, by your definition, is a bug.
- Freezing on soft reset is a BUG. Freezing for any INTERNAL reason is due to something NOT WORKING
- Homepage settings, and word completion, settings not sticking after a reset are BUGS, because IT IS SUPPOSED TO DO THAT.
- The BUILT IN PDF program that freezes when you open PDF's is not a bug????
- I'll give you the wireless plugin for now because I am not sure if it is supposed to act differently.
Just because YOU CAN"T FIX IT doesn't mean it's not a bug!!! There are a lot of low-level users that read these forums and use these hacks. Issues like this are important to know to people who are contemplating changing ROM's. Have some consideration for them, and everyone else on this forum other than yourself.
I hope this is being pushed to your phone right now, and you are in the middle of something very intensive.

Well, I suggest waiting 5 minutes before soft-resetting. Changes you make to the registry need to be synced to the flash rom, which will take a little while. Happens everywhere, though. Try reading an email with direct push enabled (marking it as read) and immediately reboot. After starting mail again you'll see that that the mail you just read is marked as unread again. Same issue.
Just FYI...

Well then 17ish meg is pretty good then. Take it that would be normal use then - not really surprised.
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.

I've just got a touchpro2, with the standard vodafone uk rom. I've noticed that ActiveSync seems to reinstate itself even if you keep closing it down manually.
Memmaid shows a load of duplicate notifications building up in the queue - I can't find any pattern as to what causes another one to add. It looks like this in the queue:
\\.\Notifications\NamedEvents\PushIntertScheduleTimeUp
Anyone any ideas what is likely to be causing these? I can clean up the duplicates using memmaid as I'm sure the phone will slow down and eventually crash if enough of these queue entries build up. But would be nice to stop it at source.
Oops.... 105 dups.
There are a lot of \\.\Notifications\NamedEvents\PushIntertSched etc etc too!!!
Never had any dups anymore on my Touchpro, but now again on the touchpro2....?
I am not sure if I can remove them with this old verion of Pocket Mechanic.
Will see tomorrow.

Thanks, that solved it. I don't use the push internet features anyway. Phone seems altogether more responsive now as an added bonus!
i upgraded to 6.5 a few days ago - had the TP2 for a couple days than... now the device keeps opening the message-inbox after i unlock it (s2u2)! i can't remember that it did it with 6.1!
is there a tweak? am i doing something wrong? i just want to understand that lil thingy!
You can't solve that. Its a "feature" Microsoft introduced in 6.5.
Memory management is more aggressive in 6.5. Outlook is fighting for priority on environments with little ram available. Sometimes it loads the inbox, sometimes just the bottom and the top bars. For me that's so annoying that i downgraded to 6.1. Anyway, it is also known that s2u2 causes this "feature" to show up more.
Good luck.
I wish i bought the HD2 because it has more ram and that problem does not occur.
Mmmm.. i don't have this problem, when I unlock my phone, its show the home tab.. not the inbox ^o)
I'm not on WM6.5 but WM6.5.1. Perhaps should you try it.. ?
Inobx popup
this has been noted as a fix in this forum already. In task manager, set your email client to exclusive and this will stop it from popping up randomly, as you are granting it use of the required memory all the time, so the popup ceases.
I posted fix for this already earlier.
Procedure:
Open your email, and without closing it, open your settings menu and navigate to task manager. Press and hold to select the email client, (tmail.exe) and set it to exclusive and the problem will go away.
