Wassup All,
This thread is dedicated to problem resolution. So if you have a prob let us know. And for those who know how to fix the problem post your solution here and let everyone be happy!
BTW, here is a set of solutions for:
1) those whose WM5 lockups during the night (haven't had this for a week or so after applying the following):
a. Make sure your Today Items are compatible with WM5 (disable suspicious items by unchecking Settings->Today->Item name box);
b. Disable HKCU\Control Panel\Phone\Sleep by putting 0 value;
2) those whose GPRS connection drops when putting/receiving a call:
a. Make sure your HKLM\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\SuspendResume contain ~GPRS! value
b. Power off your device after 5sec of GPRS connection establishment
c. Try to place/recv a call
3) those whose Bluetooth over ActiveSync have stopped working unexpectedly:
a. Make sure your desktop PC have at least one network adapter enabled (if you have no adapters you may install MS Loopback software adapter from network adapters section of hardware installation wizard)
b. On your PPC, check ActiveSync->Connections->Syncrhonize all PCs using this connection box
4) those who have dual sim card and changing of cards using flight mode off/on takes so much time:
a. Whenever you need to change sim card start Wireless Modem application, choose Irda from the drop list and tap Start. Then tap Stop and close Wireless Modem. Now you can turn off flight mode in much faster way.
5) Caller ID filter to be used during the night or busy sessions:
a. Assign a ringtone to VIP contact using Contacts->Ringtone
b. Find any silent wave/wma/mp3 file and place it to \windows or \windows\rings folder
c. When you need to receive only VIP calls choose this silent audio file from your Phone->Options->Ringtone drop list
6) To disable automatic repeat of reminder:
Set "0" to HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Reminders\AutoSnooze\AutoSnoozeMins value
7) To enable MMS reception:

Re: WM5: Problem Resolution Center
Is there anybody who progressed with ArcSoft MMS/Inbox integration?
This thread is an excellent idea. Here are a few questions/issues I am facing with WM5.
- The Alram Bug is back My alarms don't ring. Sometimes they ring once and instead of repeating, like they are supposed to, they just go back to sleep. They will only continue when i turn on the phone (whever that may be).
- ActiveSync is always running on the PPC. If I kill it manually, it comes back after a while.
- Can I hide the BT icon in the system try? Can I control the display (hide/unhide) the system tray?
- Can i customize the soft buttons (Phone, Contacts) at the bottom? i.e. assign other programs to those buttons and change the label?
- Camera and record hardware buttons do't work. This has been widely reported and I believe its under investigation.

In your particular case let's try the following: while your system is powered (power off value does not turn off your device) a set of automatic snoozes will be performed and each snooze will prolong time of power-off.
So, change HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Reminders\AutoSnooze\AutoSnoozeMins to a value less than the value of system Power Off.
Example of alarm that repeats every 2 mins on a system that suppose to power-off after 3 mins of idleness:
a. Set up value of Power off (Settings->System->Power->Advanced->Turn off device if not used for) to 3 mins
b. Set the registry value to 2 mins
- Can I hide the BT icon in the system try? Can I control the display (hide/unhide) the system tray?

You can control appearance of the icon by moving \Windows\Startup\BTIcon.lnk file to and from \Windows\Startup\ folder. Example, I want tray icon so I leave the file in \Windows\Startup\ folder. Now I don't want tray icon so I move \Windows\Startup\BTIcon.lnk file to a different place and soft-reset my device to get the changes take effect. Moving operations can be performed using Windows Explorer (Cut function)
- Can i customize the soft buttons (Phone, Contacts) at the bottom? i.e. assign other programs to those buttons and change the label?

Place path and name for your applications at the value 1 of HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCProg and HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSContacts registry branches.
Here is an example of starting calculator when pressing Contacts button:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSContacts\1 = calc.exe OR \windows\calc.exe
WARNING! Changing of CProg branch will lead to remap of your Green Phone Button too.
ActiveSync is always running on the PPC. If I kill it manually, it comes back after a while.

I also noticed that and changed many reg values so don't remembler what helped. First try to uncheck this checkbox "ActiveSync->Connections->Syncrhonize all PCs using this connection" when not using activesync and soft-reset your device to see if it helps. Let me know on your progress pls.
Camera and record hardware buttons do't work. This has been widely reported and I believe its under investigation.

These seems to depend on your boot rom version. I have 1.2 and I upgraded from W2k3SE 2.20chs with nb.nbf only and my buttons work Ok.
PocketIE starting with blank page
Starting PocketIE with a blank page is a bit faster than loading a default page with graphics.
1) Navigate your PocketIE to "about:blank" (type and open in the address bar)
2) Open Tools->Options and set current page as your home page
Now, each time you start your PocketIE a blank page will be fastly loaded

TomTom51/WM2005/BlueTooth problems
Can someone help me?
About every minute TTN5.1 is loosing the Bluetooth GPS
(EMTAC Crux II/BTGPS) but soon after finds it again.
I'm using de TomTom5patch but can not use com5.
Also installed Bluetoothtools, using com4 for the BTGPS.
Com 5 is in use according to Bluetoothtools
(http://www.bluetooth.jazztel.es/).
Within TTN5.1 i can select the BTGPS correctly on com4.
It identifies itself as the BTGPS.
I'm not using "New Outgoing Port" or "New Incomming Port"
because i'm not sure if this is necessary.
If it's necessary, what port must I use?
Can the settings done by the TomTom5patch be reversed and how?
Which settings are affected by this patch?
How do i disable Infrared on the Himalaya?
How do i disable BT within TomTom?
My main issues seem to be
MMS- Cant get to work at all
GPRS- Cant get internet over GPRS
Camera and Notes button- Can live without these
i have the same problem with tomtom my bluetooth keeps droping out.
i'm using tomtom5.0 and the tomtom com5 patch
with the deflut microsoft bluetooth
i set my outgoing port to com5 and tomtom5.0 can find it but like i said it drops out alot
and one more side note i put my com5patch file in my tartup folder but after i soft-reset and try to start tomtom. tomtom can't find com5 so i have stop tomtom and manuly go start the com5patch

Automatic disconnect is known feature of Pocket Bluetooth Tools it automatically disconnects after 1 minute of BT inactivity. As I remember you can stop this feature by taping on clock icon at your today so your clock icon should not have white color but should be grey. Warning! By disabling automatic disconnect feature your battery draining rate may increase.

Sorry don't have TT & BT GPS. Haven't you tried Settings->GPS Wizard for setting up your GPS?
0) Pair your GPS using serial profile
1) Set COM9 to Settings->GPS->Programs tab->"GPS program port:"
2) Set COM0, if not using ActiveSync over BT, or COM1, if using AS over BT, to Settings->GPS->Hardware tab->"GPS hardware port:"
3) Make sure your Settings->GPS->Access tab->"Manage GPS automatically" is checked
4) Open your TT and select COM9 in your device configuration window
OR
0) Pair your GPS using serial profile
1) Select your device through Settings->Connection->Bluetooth->Com Ports->New Outgoing Port->Your GPS Device
2) Tap Next
3) Select any port under "Port:", e.g. COM8
4) Open your TT->GPS Device Configuration->Select Com8
Try to check if your GPS works... if not, continue with the following:
4.1) Open Settings->GPS Wizard, Assign hardware com port to COM8 (Hardware tab) and Assign program com port to COM9 (Programs tab), check the "Manage GPS automatically" in Access tab
4.2) Select COM9 in your TT.
Good Luck! ;-)

Just tested track change in the following order:
0) Didn't cradle
1) Run WMP
2) Unset "Screen Toggle" option so it is "None"
3) Loaded 5 mp3s to SD
4) WMP automatically scanned SD for new content
5) Started to play my library's all music
6) All five tracks and overall repeat were performed without turning backlight on again
Does anyone else have this prob???
Registry Settings -> Software Settings
Dear All,
Please pay attention that after making changes, installing new software or doing your usual software settings it is advisable to power off your device before soft-resetting.
Example, I recently setup my Inbox mail accounts and soft resetted my device in a usual way. After a soft reset I found out that none of my accounts was actually kept. So, I did setup again, powered off my device and soft-resetted it. After soft-reset all mail accounts were saved and were workable
Solution for TomTom51/WM2005/BlueTooth problems
Hi all,
I think I've found a solution.
TTN5 works for me perfect now, but when I activate the
compass so it will display itself on the navigation screen,
then the GPS is lost (and found again) about every minute.
When I deactivate the compass, there is no problem at all!
So, try this and let me know if this solves your problem.

Keep your eye on this thread:

My friend and I both have Excaliburs from T-Mobile and have both upgraded to 6.1 Kavanna/Ricky v24. We are unable to link the phones together for the purpose of beaming files. When either of us attempts to add the other phone as a bluetooth device it works fine up through the entering of the passkey. But then it lists no bluetooth services as available on either phone. Also, when trying to beam a file, it searches for other bluetooth devices. When either phone finds the other S620 and we attempt to beam the file, it fails. I know bluetooth works at least on my phone, because I regularly use a Motorola H800 bluetooth headset. Only the pairing with another WM6.1 Dash seems to fail with no services available. Also this may or may not be related, but when I go into bluetooth settings on either phone and enter the COM Ports menu, the screen says "To add a COM port, select from one of the options under Menu." Except all options under menu are greyed out and unavailable, including "Add new outgoing port".
You've probably done that but just in case.....did you check the box in:
settings -> connections -> beam -> 'receive all incoming beams' ??
Is there a way to keep bluetooth discovery mode on all the time?
I am aware that this will effect the battery, and that pairing with a device should allow it to connect automatically. In my case, what I need to connect to does not.
I've been searching online but can not find a good answer, other than this is possible in newer android versions. So I don't have my hopes up.

Pretty simple actually... Settings -> Wireless & Network Settings -> Bluetooth Settings -> Check off Discoverable and then change the Discoverable timeout to Never.
I'm not seeing this option listed
I'm trying to get Anquet running on my HTC Touch HD (until they develop Android support) but I'm not getting anywhere. Despite the device being on their compatible list, Anquet Support are not being much help.
1) I can't get it to detect the GPS.
Anquet support have pointed me to a part of the sub-menu to manually configure the GPS settings, but I do not have the options available.
Open Pocket Anquet and select Configure from GPS menu. Select "Set Manually" and choose Com 4 and Baud 9600 and NMEA 0183 as protocol: select "Search for GPS": Message appears "Found MS Windows GPS driver, you are advised to use the setting "Set by Windows. Use this setting?" Click OK.
Click "Test GPS Connection": message appears "Found on GPS set by Windows" Click OK.
Click OK to return to map. Click GPS then select Live Track: click close.
You now have a fix and if "GPS Status" is selected from GPS menu, when you return to your map you will see "Valid Position Fix" at the top of the map.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I fall at the first hurdle; having no option to 'Configure'.
They have come back saying, 'It may be that the rest of the menu is hidden and the screen needs to be adjusted in order to view the list totally. You wil lthen be able to select the rest of the configuration settings.'
I do not know how to do this.
2) More importantly though, the maps do not show. I have uploaded them and they are showing in the list, but when I 'Go To...' (to select/activate a map) all I get is a blank screen.
I'm hoping someone here has used the application and can offer some assistance.

I'm trying to sniff the bluetooth commands from a certain app so that I can replicate them on a raspberry pi. I turned on developer tools and subsequently turned on the bluetooth snooping HCI...then went back to the app in question, completed a bluetooth command (which I can confirm was sent) but I am not seeing any log info. Obviously wit the S9 i'm on Oreo if that matters.
Anyone know where to find this bluetooth log OR (my gut says) why it is not being created in the first place?
Did you ever figure this out?
On ...Android O you have to enable bluetooth, enable HCI snooping in developer settings, disable and reenable bluetooth and reboot.
After that you can get the log by going to developer settings and "take bug report" and get a full log.
The file bt_stack.conf is not changed and there is no new file on /sdcard as on other devices
