Just Got My Htc Vox.. Few Questions Plz Help

#1 With this push email business, can someone explain to me how that exactly works ... apparantly it is free ????
#2 With the box I got it said there is supposed to be a Pouch included in the box but there wasnt. Did anyone else get a pouch?
#3 When I go into contact ... I cant seem to find a way to sort the Phone Contacts from the SIM Contacts... is there anyway to "hide" the SIM contacts?

htc - s710
re pouch none in the box
push email is somtihng you need to set up via your office or work server like exchange or you can sign up to some company who does it for you but you need maybe to install some kind of software i use www.emoze.com very gd soltion
re contact no idea
enjoy

re SIM contacts
I seem to recall there being something in the "Expert" folder in the start menu. I did have three icons there but i accidently removed one and I am not going to reset my phone to put it back - but you could have a look.

I asked my vendor about that and they said it's an error in the manual, no pouch..

Hiding Sim-Contacts
Hello
I try to translate from my German Vox.
First you go to the settings.
Select the telefonsettings.
Tene select Callingoptions or Calloptions ( German : Anrufotionen )
There you can see "show Sim-Contacts".
I hope in Eu-Versions it is the same and my english is not tooooo bad.

THANK YOU!
IT WORKED!!!!!
Now can you solve the solution why this thing LAGS and is SO SLOW?!?!
I dont know if comming from a tytn makes it seem like this, but to me this device it wayyyyy tooooo slowwww

the CPU is hardly worthy of WM6
use Omapclock and speed it up
i run 252mhz and it's more than enough for me

im tryin to do that now but it doesnt seem to work on resume!
i installed omap clock plus as well.... whenever the phone comes out of hibernate, the clock is set back to origional speed.
do you know how to fix this ??????
what version of omapclock are you using?

Thanks for that tip about contacts, dietmarr
BTW, i did get a pouch with my Vox!!

Regarding overclocking, JDRoss over at MoDaCo posted the below tip. Works like a charm!
Here's what you need:
omapclock application (available here)
tornado power control application (available here)
Download the CAB files for each and install like you would any application. That means copying them to your S710 via bluetooth or ActiveSync, and then running them on your phone to start the application setup process.
Now you need to link the two together. How? Well, the nature of the tornado control application is to launch files based on internal phone events. In this situation, the way to do this is to create "link" filetypes that instantiate omapclock with command line variables to set the appropriate CPU speed.
As a result, you need to create 3 link-type files (.lnk) in the same directory as the tornado application on your S710:
(the first line is the file name, and the 2nd line is exactly what I typed in notepad on my PC before saving the file as a .lnk file):
Power_On.lnk
40#"\Program Files\TornadoPowerControl\OmapClock.exe" -clock 252
Power_Backlightoff.lnk
40#"\Program Files\TornadoPowerControl\OmapClock.exe" -clock 186
Power_UserIdel.lnk
40#"\Program Files\TornadoPowerControl\OmapClock.exe" -clock 186
Once these .lnk files are saved on your PC, you can use ActiveSync or bluetooth to move the files to the \Program Files\TornadoPowerControl directory. Once there, you're almost ready to go...
You also need to create a link file type (I call the file TPC.lnk) and put it in the windows/startup folder so that Tornado Power Control loads automatically upon boot.
Here is my TPC.lnk file contents:
43#"\Program Files\load.exe" -hide "\Program Files\TornadoPowerControl\TornadoPowerControl.exe" bright hide
Note that I'm using a program called "load.exe" (available here) that I simply copied to my /program files/ folder - this is optional, but it makes TPC application run in the background and not show up in task manager (which makes the overclocking even more invisible to the user). Actually, this doesn't always work (since I sometimes see Tornado in task manager), but it's still a nice concept.
Hope this helps.

Shortcut to New SMS in WM6

Hi,
This forum helped me to decide on getting an O2 Orbit 2, so thanks for that..
I have searched for this but haven;t found a solution but forgive me if I am repeating a thread.
I am trying to find a way to add a shortcut to the Today screen that directly opens up a new SMS. At the moment I have to go to messaging>SMS>Menu>New>SMS, which seems very convulted, having come from a standard phone.
Is there any way to do this at all?

Try these. I'm not sure about a today plugin. But these cab's create a shortcut for you in \Windows called New SMS.lnk. You could always copy them to your start menu and uninstall the CAB if you dont want to lose a softkey.

Thanks. Tried them both and the left one just changed the name of the soft key but still pointed to the calendar and the right one changed it to got the route of the SMS directory not to a new SMS message. I uninstalled them but the right one still stays the same
Any way of getting it back to the contacts?

Just un-install the CAB.
It might depend on the messaging software.
The shortcut should point to "\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS"

I did unistall the CAB and it didn't do anything, just removed itself from the Remove Programs bit. The shortcut is no longer there either, so I cannot check it.
Having looked at your CAB file presumably all I need to change it to calendar is find a registry editor and change the settings your CAB made back to "Calendar" and the correct shortcut?

There is a "Softkey changer" app, or a program by schaps called "Advanced Config" both of those will save on the Reg hacking.

The Solution.....
Install the attachment...
You can place a shortcut to "NEW SMS" on your left or right softkey....
PS: Next time search or follow the link on my sign....

Sorted
Hi Guys,
Thanks to both of you for your quick replies and help. I have created a working New SMS on my today screen using the last app and the o2 shortcuts program that comes with the mobile.
Knew this was the right place to come!
PS: I did search and nothing useful came up...
PPS: I also couldn't have read your link on the sign as it is posted in the area that says to not post unless you are a developer or hardcore tecchie. I am neither and so didn't go there. Thanks for the help though.

Over a year later and the information in this thread has proved invaluable for me. Thanks.

The correct solution to directly compose a new SMS with a shortcut is the following:
tmail.exe -transport "SMS" -to ""
Works great on my Tilt2. However, I do think I used the syntax above posted by DaveShaw with a prior WinMo device and it worked. However, it does not work on my Tilt2.
You can also get a lot more complicated such as:
Creating new MMS with given recipients, subject, body and attachment:
tmail.exe -transport "MMS" -to "8005551212" -cc "8001234567" -bcc "[email protected]" -subject "simple subject" -body "simple MMS body" -attach "/My Documents/test.jpg"
Anyone know how to turn these into executables since my today launcher only accepts exe's?

If You haven't got a reply to that yet... You can make a simple mortscript (like runmms.mscr) with Run (tmail.exe etc...) and then have the mortsript dummy.exe renamed to the same runmms.exe which, when executed, results in the desired action.

[AT&T Fuze] Lower Case "e" in email tab

I cannot for the life of me figure out where the setting is to change the text on your tf3d tabs. Out of the box my AT&T Fuze says "email" for the touchflo email tab, I would like it to say "Email".
Sorry if this has been posted already but I searched.

It can be done by editing the 26948339_manila file in windows... If you have no clue what you are doing I suggest you get over you OCD as messing with this file in the wrong way can mess up tf3d.

Detailed instructions on how to accomplish this would be most appreciated... I couldn't find the file in the windows folder in my File Explorer (im assuming its hidden). What programs do I need to install and what steps need to be taken in order to successfully edit this value?
Thanks.

It can also be done by editing 090661f7_manila, which is where the names for all the tabs are defined. Find the line that says:
<trans-unit id="IDS_EMAILTITLE">
and edit the line under it to say:
<source>Email</source> [instead of <source>email</source>]
and then re-start TF3D. Like rymonday said, though, you can really screw stuff up if you mess up an edit in one of these files so do so at your own risk!

Would I edit the manila file on my PC with Notepad? Then replace it on my phone and change the properties with Total Commander or is there another way?

Anyone want to chime in on how to properly edit this file?

* Disable TouchFLO from Settings>Today>Items
* Use Total Commander (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2286376) and find the "090661f7_manila" file. Change the attributes (remove Read Only flag - have to tap twice to get rid of the "ghosted" checkmark). Click OK to save the file changes.
* Then edit the file as ITNV posted (again, with Total Commander)
Find the line that says:
<trans-unit id="IDS_EMAILTITLE">
and edit the line under it to say:
<source>Email</source> [instead of <source>email</source>]
and then re-start TF3D.

The .exe file to create a sms new message ?

Hi everybody ! (my first post on this board). I'm desperately searching something I don't find, I think that developpers will be able to help me :
Where does the windows file used to write a new message locate ?
I mean, it might be a .exe and when I click on it, it opens a new sms message. It might be somewhere in the Windows files.
What's more, is it possible to open a new message like this with the phone number of one of my contacts already set in the box where to put the receiver phone's number ?
(sorry for my english, it might be awful and difficult to understand : I'm french and I'm still learning this language !)
Thank you for spending time answering me.
Oh, I forgot sthg : I use a 6.1 Windows Mobile with a HTC Diamond, but I don't think that the phone model has sthg to do there.

Up please ! Tell me if I'm not understandable...

it's not an exe for a new message. it's an exe for the mail app called tmail.exe
you can use command lines to load other things. if i'm not mistaken a new message is "tmail.exe -new'

Thanks. I could have foreseen that it's not a .exe file. I'm gonna try what you said and I give you news about it. What's more, I'd like to know if it's possible to open a new sms with a predefined receiver's phone number. Yes, I've got some favourite contacts...

Well, it seems like it doesn't work. Maybe I did something wrong, here is a screen where you can see what I did on my phone : I use the prog TF3D Detacher to assign an argument to my left softkey. But when I click on the "new" button on my homescreen, nothing happens. (not any error message too). Let's look at it :
What's wrong there ?

please try again with a space between exe and -new.

I had already tried. It doesn't work.

Shouldn't you write "tmail.exe" on the App section and not the args section?
App: tmail.exe
Args: -new
Text: New Message
Try that please

I made You a clumsy tool if You cant solve it in any other way
It can be started with arguments, like below
(Shortcuts with arguments can be created from inside soft)
(Start it with Nr preset)
\\MyTools\SMSNrPreset.exe "077 1234567"
(Start it with both Nr and MSG Preset)
\\MyTools\SMSNrPreset.exe "077 1234567" "Hello Friend"
(Start it with both Nr and MSG preset, and auto send and close app)
\\MyTools\SMSNrPreset.exe "077 1234567" "Hello Friend" 1

You are right Arlanthir, I realise how very stupid I was. (I'm just a noob). So, this works ! I just still encounter an issue : so when I assign my left softkey to this app and this argument and when I click on it, a window opens and asks me if I wanna write a new sms message, or a new e-mail, etc. Could I directly, with that kind of arguments, be able to write a new SMS message ?
As for Eurocrypt, I really thank you for your little app, it works too but it doesn't appear well on my screen, I mean it's very little. What's more, I'd like to keep the original app included in my rom if possible. But I really appreciate your contribution.

Try giving it these arguments instead:
-service "SMS" -new
OR (if that doesn't work)
-service "SMS" -to ""

Wow. I really thank you for this. The second works fine ! It's great. Now I can have a softkey assigned to my favourite contact and which permit me to write this contact a new sms, pressing only one button. I thank you again and I hope that others will benefit of this too. So the arg working is this one :
-service "SMS" -to "the phone number you want to predefine"
Note : the fisrt argument you gave me opens the received sms box (I think it's like that we say ?).

It's called "inbox" but I understood it
I'm glad it works!

Something else now. I've already seen that, is it possible to create a file and to put it on my today screen so that when I click on it, I can write a new sms with my predefined number ? I've already done sthg like this on windows xp, with the notes application, I have written some cmd lines and changed the extension (but I do not remember what it was).
I thank you in anticipation.

Do not think of today like a mobile desktop. Desktop has files, whereas Today has programs. You can't "put files" on the today screen, just programs.
What you did on Windows XP was probably creating a .lnk manually. That's the common "shortcut"
You can do the same thing and make it appear on WM Start Menu>Programs, and then configure your today screen application (manilla, for example) to launch that shortcut.

Setting left softkey to Windows Contacts

Hello,
I am trying to set my left softkey to the windows contacts app, a shortcut to this app is \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Contacts.ink .. which leads to poutlook.exe
Regardless of what I set the LSKpath to in the registry editor, I always get an error that the file can not be found.
The only time that it will work is if I set it to the manila contacts app ( Manila://people\browserlayer\?.page )
For example, I set it to " \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Contacts.ink " or ":MSCONTACTS?outres.dll,-10000" or "\Windows\poutlook.exe" even "\Windows\appbuttons\contacts.ink"
it will say: "The file 'contacts' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of the components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file"
Like I said this only happens with the Windows Contacts app, but not the Manila Contacts.. Any ideas??
I'd really like to use the windows one because it loads alot faster..
Thank you, sorry for the lengthy post

Hi,
are you on a official or cooked ROM? If it's really a matter of trusted certificates, you could try to install sdkcerts.cab on your device..hope it helps.

I am on an oem rom, what does this cerficates thing do ?
Thanks

It disables certificate warning and allows you to install\run uncertified programs.
To test for your softkey, navigate to the shortcut in explorer and make sure it opens before adding to registry.

lol, apparently shortcuts end in .LNK not .INK .. that fixed it

That's funny!

I´m trying to do the same since hours: connecting the LSK to the original WinMo contacts interface (not the HTC one). And I begin to resign...
I entered the ValueData of the according entry in the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\MANILA\HomeLSKPath) to:
\Windows\poutlook.exe contacts
or
\Windows\poutlook.exe
or
"\Windows\poutlook.exe" contacts ... and so on. But nothing happens when I press the LSK. Not even an error message.
What do I wrong? Could PLEASE somebody tell me the right command for the Value Data (respectively the right argument for poutlook.exe to start the contacts-interface)?
Thanks in advance!
p.
ps: Ok, call me stupid... or noob. Finally I found out, that the Registry is an other thing than a CommandLineInterface ;-) and that the argument "contacts" has to be written in HomeLSKArguments and not as an argument behind the program path in HomeLSKPath...
Finally it works!

Another option would be Windows\Startmenu\Contacts.LNK (or whereever the link resides)

use shaps advanced config to edit it if you want
