phone contact problems - General Topics

I have an un-locked xdaIIi and it appears that some of the phone functions are unavailable notibly the toolbars next to the contact names, could anyone help by either confirming this function can be restored or not, if it can - how??
thanks

can you be more specific in your description of the toolbars - what do they look like/say?
Have you tried backing up and hard resetting to see what happens in default mode?

Annoying o2 logo/ XDaIIi

All
I have an XDaIIi on the o2 network uk. The o2 logo is permanently displayed in the WA area and I do find it irksome and annoying. On my previous phone I was able to remove this by removing the o2 UI active interface application. On this phone this doesn't seem to be possible as it keeps telling me the application is in use, read only etc...
I have gone to Windows folder and deleted associated files but I cant seem to get rid of;
Windows/fonts/xpdr_o2.ttf
Windows/Mobile Solutions/O2ActiveUI/Modules/Connections/connections.exe
Can anyone advise how to disable this at all please so that I can clearly see the icons in WA that I want to see.
I have tried telling WA to ignore o2UI but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
All help appreciated
NB the beta version of Wisbar Advance works fine with the XDaIIi, a must have for any user and well worth the minimum cost!
did you look if it's started in the
windows\startup
and if so tried to remove that shortcut
Doing as RudeGear WILL work because it's exactly what I myself did last week.
No more annoying logo!!
I just removed "connections.Ink" from the start up menu and yes it does appear to have worked.
Thanks both!
Probably silly of me to ask, but why do they put that bloody logo there after all the unit is stamped o2 on the case, so why????
It's not a logo thing, if you tapped it you get a connection dropdown list, for GPRS or USB connections etc.
It's just crap, s'all.

LG KS20 stuck at splash screen

Hi,
I was stupid enough to try and alter a reg key for the default sip without taking a backup (I know, basic rule number 1). Now the device is stuck at the Vodafone splash screen (before the Windows Mobile spash screen). I can hear the first right sound when I connect it to my computer (not the default USB connection sounds, but the one you get normally when connecting), but it doesn't sync and I can't get into the device via Explorer
I need my contacts (no backup of this either) and my messages. Anyone with good ideas?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
No one?
I did a hard reset, but have managed to restore the cemail.vol and pim.vol.
If anyone has a good idea how to get my messages and contacts back, please post it. I have written what I have tried so far in this thread

Doubled contacts

Hi guys,
I know that Diamond users had similar problem but I cannot solve this issue the way provided on Diamond forum. Or I'm doing something wrong :]
Reason - I've just copied my contacts from sim to TP and in Contact TAB i've got everything doubled.
I've tried:
1. Modify registry (ShowSim = 0) - doesn't help - after soft reset this value is still 1 (is registry locked? I've tried CeRegEditor with unlock registry option first - no effect and with TotalCommander - the same)
2. Tried advanced config for Diamont - No Sim contact, soft reset - nothing.
3. Tried this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1959449&postcount=4 - doesn't help.
Any other ideas?
Regards
B.

TBH Make a backup of your contacts as they are now (even if they are doubled)using PIMBackup....and delete the contacts from the SIM card. Atleast you have a backup on file off the device??
I havent used SIM memory for MANY years now.
Hmmm I've tried everything many times (mentioned below) and resigned.
Then after 2-3hours I've installed Green Battery soft, then restart and... now it works like hell !
I mean that no sim details in contacts.
So I have no IDEA with action fix this problem - a little confused now :?

Windows mobile will ALWAYS display your SIM contacts as well as contacts in the phone memory. There are plenty of third party apps out there that will stop this, or you can find the registry edit in the site somewhere.
Easiest way is to use something like Schaps 3, or that battery soft that you mention.
Can't understand why som many people insist on using SIM memory nowdays, when people hae multiple numbers, you end up with multiple contacts for the same people....
Well, each to their own i suppose.
My contacts were on SIM because I'vw switched from.....Nokia 6310i
Now I've fixed the problem manually (regedit) because AdvancedConfig tool doesn't help. Just funny thing that to save registry settings SHUT DOWN of device is required not soft reset.

Ah! One of the best handsets Nokia ever made. My Landlord has three, just in case one of them dies!
Great phones!
Although again, it came with Nokia PC Suite to sync to outlook, but it was a real PITA as it always puts the mobile numbers in the 'other' field in outlook so they don't get touched by activesync!
as for the soft reset thing, seems to work ok on mine. Change something in schaps 3, and soft reset when it tells me to and all seems to be well.
lol, well i guess that's why windows mobile is such fun huh??
whats registry setting did u change? AdvancedConfig isnt working for me either. I cant delete the sim contacts, cos its a temporary SIM. Ill have a blank SIM soon, but for now, I'd like to stop SIM contacts showing up.
Thanks
I just got it to work using AdvancedConfig. I said 'No' when it asked to soft reset. Then checked contacts and the SIM contacts are gone. No restart, no shut down, nothing. When i did this and said 'yes' to the soft reset, it didnt work. Odd
If you go into settings, Phone, Call options is there no longer a check box to not show SIM contacts as in WM6.0 phones?
You must change value
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\ShowSim from 1 to 0
and then (very important) do not soft reset because value will be restored to 1
you must shut down TP - this information was provided by someone here and it works
BTW
Even if you switch off ShowSim option, for the first 10-30sek after booting TP you will find doubled contacts but then the sim contacts are dissapearing

Strange behaviour when searching contacts...

Hi to everyone,
probably this has already been investigated and/or solved (or not), I don't know, but I was not able to find anything related and I believe it is quite strange...
I was used (using WM6.0) to search contacts using keywords being present in the record in the following way:
- Open contact application (the application opens with the first line ready for input);
- place some text in the first line, such as "Richard"
- being presented from the application a list with ONLY contacts containing the word "Richard", either in the name, company name, address, notes, etc.
Well, I find this being impossible with my brand new VODAFONE TOUCH PRO (Raphael) I recently got:
- I open contact application (nothing strange till here...)
- I type just one letter (i.e. "R")
- the PDA immediately switches to PHONE MODE, placing a call to my first contact (I think so, havent been able to double check yet) whose name starts with "R" letter...
- I obviously have to immediately abort as I don't want to place an unwanted call...
This way the only chance I have to search my contacts is to PARSE them by hand, but having more than 2000 it's a really waste of time, beside the fact I can select the first letter the name starts with (and so no chances to find the keyword appearing in other fields...).
Is anyone else reporting the same problems ???
Is there some kind of setup setting I'm forgetting of ???
Really considering not to trash my BB...
Ciao
I wonder myself being the only one reporting such a problem and/or not being receiving any answer...
So I try raising my message up to your attention...
I've got the same problem. Its actually a little weirder than you wrote. Most letters work fine.
Pressing 'r', however, automatically dials whatever name you are on. Pressing 'w' inserts 'w*', which breaks the search (you can delete the * and then continue).
There may be other letter problems too. This is on a Sprint Touch Pro.
Anyone else?
BTW, the hard keyboard works fine.
I wonder if this problem exists also in other applications such as SMS??
i sometimes face a problem while writting an SMS, i press a character but suddenly i find the dialer activated...!!!
does this has anything to do with special characters?
"R" and "W*" on Sprint Touch Pro Contacts Search
I wish I had a solution, but can only chime in that I have had two Sprint Touch pro's and both have the same problem. If you call sprint, they haven't heard anything about it (supposedly) but it seems to be a problem with all sprint touch pros.
I have the same problem with my Sprint HTC Touch Pro. Don't know how to fix it. Can anyone help?

WM6 stuck syncing and so on

Ok, I know I gotta PM mods here but I thought I'd make another topic about it since there might be more ppl out there knowing how to fix my problem. Feel free to delete it, or tell me to remove the topic and I'll pm any of you one by one, as you desire.
My Windows Mobile went crazy. Its a known bug but I just can't seem to fix it.
Already made another topic about it, since it occurs to a lot of ppl using the HTC Touch Diamond, but it might be a common Windows error, and not just to ppl using the listed device.
The symptoms:
- Access is denied error message when trying to copy files to the phone using ActiveSync.
- Access is denied error message when trying to delete any files or copy files between folders and/or the storage card on the phone.
- You do not have permission to download that type of file in Internet Explorer when trying to download any files.
- No programs show up in Remove Programs.
- Installation Unsuccessful error messages when trying to install any applications.
- ActiveSync will fail with an error message that you should start the troubleshooter.
And the solution:
Code:
- Please follow the exact steps listed below.
- Soft Reset is done with the stylus, if you press it in the little round hole that is next to the USB port of HTC touch (the other oval hole at the other side of the USB port is the microphone. Do not stick your stylus in that hole)
- Power off is done when you keep the power button (on the top) pressed and you see a message from windows, asking if you want to power off your device.
The procedure to fix and recover from this amazing bug.
1) soft reset device
2) Start / Office Mobile / Word
3) Create a new document (click on New)
4) type some text (just plain text - no formatting - it was 'plain text document') just a few characters
5) File / Save As...
6) I have selected type 'Plain Text'
7) It asked me whether I want to save it at 'Word document instead' - I clicked No.
8) I have powered off the device and did soft reset
9) Start file explorer, find the file (it was in My Device / My Documents), click on it - it opens Word again.
10) Add some formatting (I have selected part of text and changed font to bold)
11) Close Word - it asked whether to save it in Word format - this time I said Yes
12) Power-off the device and press soft reset again
Now you can find this anywhere on the map, with a lil bit of google skills, however .. its just not working for me. I did the exact things listed, and even changed some small parts of it during the 10 times I tried. And yet my problems aren't solved. I'm wondering, quite desperately, if theres anyone out there that might actual know what could have caused it or fixes it. I'm sooo not looking into a format/reinstall.
Thanks in advance
is active sync giving you an error code (a number)
Thank you for your fast response. Sync isn't giving an error code or number. Baiscally what the error messages tells me is, free translated:
"Synchronization cannot be completed successfully. Reconnect your device and try again. If the problem persists, see the Microsoft ActiveSync troubleshooter in Microsoft ActiveSync help on your desktop computer"
but in Dutch. All it leaves me to do is press OK and start a sync checkup, which doesn't find anything but the usual Outlook "problem" (I don't have it installed, nor do I wan't to sync email with it).
joel got an idea ?
Waited half a day, plox joel, if you got any idea help me out. I'm afraid I gotta hard-reset, but I wanna avoid it. Any help is welcome ...
No clue?
I'd like to bump this once more, since theres been some interest in it but now it's just forgotten
honestly, the best way to solve these types of problems is a hard reset.
the time you spend in here / searching in google / trying stuff is much longer than what you'd spend hard reseting and installing stuff.
i also suggest you get a system backup app so you won't have to reinstall and copy and sync every time you need to hard reset.
I know thats the easy solution, and I will hard reset my device, but only ONCE I got my photos contacts and texts off it. Especially the photo's are quite important to me.
