Finally got my hand on a Trinity and here are some problems I have..

---

Finally gotten my very own D810

This is not my first PPC...but I guess I still need to get used to WM5....

I have questions...and I have read through most of the threads from here before buying...guess I still need some help...

1)Does the connection activesync for your D810 disconnects itself after a while?? Mine seems to do it after like 1-2 mins...even if I'm in the middle syncing some stuff...strange...

2)Is it possible to customise the 2 buttons on our D810. The buttons for "Calendar" and "Contacts"...I can't seem to find any options for that.

3)Whatever happened to the shortcut to "Running Programs"?? Not in WM5 anymore??

4)Have you guys notice that activesync runs at startup in our PPC?? Everytime I do a soft reset...without any cables connected...I will go to "running programs" and the activesync is there...running...possible to change that??

5)Any faster way to get to "Comms Manager" without using the "HTC today" plugin?? I don't like that plug in as it cannot be customised to our needs...tried copying the shortcut from the "windows" folder but it seems to be a "system file" and will not show up in the "start menu"

6)And yes....I can't register my CE-Star as well....I d/l the "a" version...installed it through AS...at the end of the installation...there was a "register" button...I clicked on it...it was a broken link...and that's it...didn't get any email from dopod after that...

7)Anybody manage the get the registery tweak for the defaultim to work?? I can't seem to get it to work..even though I'm very sure I got the registry value correct...

Set default SIP

The default SIP (Secondary Input Panel) on practically every device is the Keyboard. You may prefer entry with a different SIP. If so, you can set this to be the default SIP through:

HKCU\ControlPanel\SIP\DefaultIM = |SIP ClassID|

{42429690-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9} = Letter Recognizer

Think that's all the qns I have for today. Will continue exploring!!

1)Does the connection activesync for your D810 disconnects itself after a while?? Mine seems to do it after like 1-2 mins...even if I'm in the middle syncing some stuff...strange...

No it does not. The behaviour is just like you wrote. What is the problem with that?

2)Is it possible to customise the 2 buttons on our D810. The buttons for "Calendar" and "Contacts"...I can't seem to find any options for that.

I think there is 3rd party software doing this. WM5Newmenu for instance changes one of the softkeys to a new menu.

3)Whatever happened to the shortcut to "Running Programs"?? Not in WM5 anymore??

I cant remember having such a shortcut on WinCE. You can see all runing programs (and terminate them) going to settings, system, memory and selecting the right tab.

4)Have you guys notice that activesync runs at startup in our PPC?? Everytime I do a soft reset...without any cables connected...I will go to "running programs" and the activesync is there...running...possible to change that??

You are right. Why would you want to change this?

5)Any faster way to get to "Comms Manager" without using the "HTC today" plugin?? I don't like that plug in as it cannot be customised to our needs...tried copying the shortcut from the "windows" folder but it seems to be a "system file" and will not show up in the "start menu"

That is something I would llike to know too. In fact I would prefer to switch the phone off with one click and to toggle BT and WiFi with one click.

6)And yes....I can't register my CE-Star as well....I d/l the "a" version...installed it through AS...at the end of the installation...there was a "register" button...I clicked on it...it was a broken link...and that's it...didn't get any email from dopod after that...

What is CE-Star?

Tried disabling the 'advanced networking functionality' option in Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC?

I also don't remember this one but I highly recommend a program called HandySwitcher by Dinarsoft -- it's only around $8 but works great. Initially it'll have silly options enabled like overcrowding the title bar with icons like the HandySwitcher icons but you can disable them and instead place an icon in the today screen tray to use to see a list of programs running in the background and terminate whichever you like or all of them.

I don't recall having that problem. Maybe it's a Dopod ROM thing?

Create your own shortcut to \Windows\CommManager.exe by creating a file called 'Comm Manager.lnk' in \Windows\Start Menu\ or wherever you like and put the following line in that file:
21#"\Windows\CommManager.exe"

If you like you can use the utility PHM Traylauncher (which I've attached to this post) to place it permanently in the today screen tray for easy access.

I don't know the answer to this but if you figure it out, please share with us as I'd like to change it from Pocket MSN Messenger to Pocket Skype.

Hope this helps.

anyone knows how can I add a windows media player shortcut to the today screen? (i tried settings-->today-->items but there is no option for adding wmp on the today screen)
