WM2005: Problem Resolution Center is HERE!!!

[IMate->WM2k5]

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\AutoSnoo ze\AutoSnoozeMins value

7) To enable MMS reception:

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.

- 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).
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\AutoSnoo ze\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.

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

[IMate->WM2k5]

If you haven't updated your OS with service pack you can still install ActiveSync4 and use it for Bluetooth or IrDA synchronizations.

1) Login with Administrative privelege
2) Open your Windows Explorer and open properties of "setup.exe" file. Choose Compatibility tab, check "Run this program in compatibility mode for" box and select Windows 2000 option
3) Run setup.exe

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?

[avengerpenguin]

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

[allpurposepunk]

Hi, if I remember correctly, the STK from WM2K5 is not working with any STK SIM card. May I know how you managed to make it work?

Thanks

Com 5 is in use according to Bluetoothtools
(http://www.bluetooth.jazztel.es/).
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.

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.

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! ;-)

How do i disable Infrared on the Himalaya?
Infrared for reception of files is disabled by unchecking Settings->Connection->Beam->Receive all incoming beams box

3. Select "Modem" tab
4. Tap on "New"
5. Enter a name for connection under "enter a name for the connection:", e.g. turbo.gprs, and choose Cellular line (GPRS) under "Select a modem:". Don't leave "Cellular Line" but choose "Cellular line (GPRS)"!!!
6. Tap "Next"
7. Enter your provider's access point name, e.g. internet
8. Tap "Next"
9. Fill corresponding user credentials and tap Finish

Sorry don't have STK enabled sim but STK application runs and displays that "No application is installed on current SIM".

btw, my dual SIM card changes cards using Radio On/Off function not STK

media player 10 turns the screen back on when changing tracks despite 'screen toggle' being active.

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???

[IMate->WM2k5]

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

[Dodger]

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.

Under 2003 and 2003SE I could press connect in messaging and my accounts would be checked and GPRS would stay connected. There was also a send/receive option which check for new mail then disconnected.

With WM2005 I only have the option to Send/Receive and once this is complete it disconnects the GPRS connection. As I check mail every 10 minutes this causes issues with waiting for the connection and being charged connection fees.

Does anyone know how to simulate what used to be the 'connect' button in 2003.

[MIDN]

first sorry to my bad english, :oops:

[Putra]

Hi, just recently upgraded to WM2005 from 2003SE and still deciding whether I like it or not.

The upgrade to 1.6b96 went flawlessly (thanks to Buzz) and I was prepared for some of the known issues of Async, HW buttons etc not working. But to my delight, everything worked perfectly (so far).

I have some questions tho:

1) when I receive an incoming SMS, my device does not wake up. I hear the tone & the vibration, but the screen stay dark. I need to power on the device to view the message

2) This has been asked, but I didn't see any replies: anyone know how to customize the soft-buttons? I miss the "new" menu in the toolbar where I can quickly compose a note, sms, word etc.

3) I used Mortring in 2003SE, but it no longer works in 2005. Any alternatives?

4) MS Voice Command works (after several installs/uninstalls), but when there is an incoming call, the announcing voice is very soft. Anyone have this prob?

Any help & advise is much appreciated

[jgm]

An answer and a question.

The answer first:

To change the softkeys on the Today screen edit the following registry values:

For the left-hand key edit HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\11 2 and for the right-hand key edit HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\11 3

For each of these "(Default)" contains the text displayed on the key and "Open" contains the file to open when pressing the key. For example, to set the right-hand softkey to open Pocket Excel you could set the entries as follows:


HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\11 3
(Default) Excel
Open \windows\pxl.exe


Okay, so the question. Is there any way of hiding the system tray completely?

[acefeel]

did someone knows how to place the battery icon on the start button bar?

after upgrade to wm2005,its disapper.pls help.

[whoopass2204]

When I rotated the screen to landscape mode, screen is rotated but stylus does not respond correctly! Responds as if the screen is still in Portrait mode! :? This is really a pain!!!!

[Putra]

acefeel: just install the many, many batt meter progs available for free & not free (Kbattery etc). Personally, I like MagicButton. It is actually a task switcher with a batt meter. U may also want to try powerstatus which gives a 2 pixel batt & memory bar at the very top. Similar to SPB today.

whoopass2204: I never had that prob even under 2003SE; and never heard of it since 2003SE. I had that when I was still using wm2003 and SRS to rotate the screen... if you go to buzzdev, Toe has made a small prog that even changes the Dpad setting accordingly. Maybe you can try that.

[chosl]

Hi!

Yes, I have the same problem. Why the unset "Screen Toggle" to none? Thats just what one want. If screen is toggled to blank it wakes up when it changes song, either manually by pressing left/right or auto when the song reaches the end.
I have seen the same behaviour on Qtek 2020 with WM5, Qtek 9090 with WM5 and a iMate Jasjar with released WM5 code.
The only configuration I have seen this working on is Qtek 9090 with 2003 SE and WMP10 (rom 1.40)
Haven't have the time or competence to look into it but if anyone needs more details just pm me.

/cheers

Here is an update to my findings regarding BT and the power button.

I noticed in the registry: hklm\system\state\hardware is see 'Bluetooth with the value of 0 as well as Handsfree=0 and Cradled=0

When I check to enable Bluetooth this value changes to 1.
When I turn off the unit and turn it back on the value changes back to 0

I tried removing the Bluetooth dword to see what would happen and the dword entry was recreated after I hit the power button.

I then tried deleting the hardware key all together and the key was restored.

Is there a relation between a driver or the power button changing the 'hardware' key to default values of 0?

Is there a way to set the registry entry and prevent it from being changed?

[Dzjenghis]

After installing ROM 1.42.00 WWE on my Qtek 9090 there are some things which don't work anymore:

- I can't connect with GPRS, MMS & modem anymore
- WMP10 can't play wma, .mp3, ... files anymore
- Camera does not work anymore
- Only the default ringtone can be used, no other one...

Can this be fixed?
If not, which ROM version is OK to downgrade? Where can I find it?
Thx!!

I can use usb to activesync, but i can not reconnet it unless i reboot my pc.
however after using the usb actvesync, my pc can not shut down normally. shit!!
I can use bluetooth to transfer the files , but cannot activesync through it.
