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.

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.

Creating HTCCPL application shortcuts?

I am struggling a little here and don't know why this isn't working, I was hoping someone has been through this before and knows how to do it
OK, I understand the registry settings needed to add applets to the settings pages for HTC applications. You create two registry keys and increment the 'TotalApplets' registry value to include enough for all the 'applet extensions'. I have backward engineered some existing ones to see this. Now I am trying to add another application without just creating a physical shortcut file. I have created an OEM package that has the following .rgu file:
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\OEM]
"SMSInboxThreadingDisabled"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\SMS Mode]
"Group"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCCPL\Applet16]
"CmdLine"=""
"Name"="SMS Mode"
"Path"="SMS.exe"
"Title"="SMS Mode"
I have then built my ROM and the Icon doesn't appear on the Settings, System page. The application is there as I can use file manager to browse to it and then execute it. I have verified that all the registry settings are there, however the Icon is not displayed. I know I could simply create a physical shortcut and put it in Start Menu\Settings, however I would prefer to get it working this way, and it's bugging me now...
Any takers?
Oh, its the 'sms.exe' application from ce4arab.com that allows you to change the WM 6.1 threaded SMS view settings.

i dont know if you found the solution or not..but did u change the " Total Applets " also..because if u didnt..it would'nt read any other added Entries
its in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCCPL

I did solve it, however it is a bit of a weird one.... The SMS.exe application I was trying didn't have an Icon embedded in the file so when viewed in Explorer (on a PC or on the Wizard) it just looked like a regular .exe file. I simply swapped the file for another Threaded SMS enabler/disable someone else posted and it all worked.
I am not 100% sure it was just the fact the file didn't have an Icon, however that is all I can put it down to.
I have other issues now though; I can't get .NetCF 2.0 to work in my re-cooked 5.2.19588 ROM The Threaded SMS app is a .Net application so it's there and looks pretty, however it doesn't run.........

Not entirely sure what you want to remove or from where? What device and rom you using too?

I believe the OP wants to remove a Settings shortcut. I'm not sure how to do it with 6.1, but if you're using 6.5, then you may be able to delete the registry setting for the .cpl (may take some work figuring out which is which) to get rid of the shortcut. Look for it in hklm-security-shell-startinfo-start-settings. It may not work-you'll just have to experiment.

Im confused, if the OP wants to merely delete a shortcut from a folder in the start menu (wino 6.5) he can use total commander or file explorer and manullay delete or move to a different location?
I might be missing the point here though

It's harder with Settings shortcuts, though. They don't appear in the start menu directory most of the time. Only the Program shortcut show up there. I guess yiou can also delete the registry entry for the setting in HKLM\ControlPanel. That should work if the one in HKLM\Security\Shell... doesn't do the job.

Hi, i knew i was not really clear ! I typed it from my phone... too quick.
So, i'm using wm6.1 with a stock htc rom on my touch HD.
In the settings, connections tab i see and old Wifi router entry... if i click on it nothing happens and i have fulle removed this prog. So i would like to delete this entry.
As i said, i can't find any .cpl for this entry. I looked in the registry but no way to find it.
Hope i 'm more accurate now

I don't know if these keys exist or not in 6.1, but in 6.5 there are a bunch under HKLM\ControlPanel, and a lot of them are just numbered somewhat randomly. I have 3-8, 10-15 and 35. Then there are keys for Advanced Network, Backlight, Buttons, etc. If it's numbered, you may just need to use trial and error (back up before randomly deleting, obviously).
If the app was something you installed and then removed, it may have put an actual shortcut in the \Windows\Start Menu\Settings\Connections folder. Check to see if it exists, then delete it. I can remember having an app that did that once or twice. If you still have the cab file, you can analyze it with sk tools or winCE cab analyzer and see where it sticks the .cpl or what it's named.

Thanx. I see those random digits in the registry, but no way to identify which goes to which Andno it is not a "simple" link

Well, back up the HKLM\ControlPanel values, then start deleting the keys one at a time (you may need to soft reset after each one). When you find the key that gets rid of the shortcut you don't want, then restore all the original keys, and delete the annoying one again. It may not work, though-I'm just guessing that removing the keys will remove the shortcuts.

Soft Key changes

Hi all,
I previously had a Hermes where there was a little tool to change the soft-keys at the coners of the screen to to applications of your choice.
Either I did not look to find the tool in the Raphael or it does not exist in the HTC standard ROM. Is there any tool to use for changein the soft-keys?
Thanks for support.
Best Regards
Rolf

http://rapidshare.com/files/292980474/SoftKeyApplet.rar
put this fil in ur windows folder and voila...
in settings u can change the softkeys

Thanks, it works as expected until TouchFlo ist started . When TouchFlo is running, the keys automatically swich to left: Telephone, right: programms. I dont find a way to change that. Any suggestions?
Best Regards
Rolf

This is what I, found it in the diamond forum.

just change hklm\software\htc\manila its not hard. homelsk options for the left softkey and homersk for the right. path and text.

Hi Jack,
thanks, the solution works , even with touch-flo. I could put the calendar as soft key. Do You know the name of the file where the contats are stored?
Best Regards
Rolf

dont trust me too hard on this im doing it from memory, but... set your path to "\Windows\poutlook.exe" and your argument to "contacts". without quotes on both of course.

Hi Jack,
thanks, I will try this tomorrow, today I forgot my mobile in the office :-(.
Result: I tried it and nothing happened, no contacts shoowing up or any error-msg. So it should be an other file I guess. Do you have any idea?
Best regards
Rolf

i was wondering why that wouldnt work and i tried it on mine and it does. you can check your spelling for any typos or whatever but it should work. no quotes, no caps on contacts, \'s not /'s. hope you can get it working.

If you install the cab i posted you dont need to edit the registry, just select the app you want the link on the soft key to be and click save.

alot of people like to do it themselvs or dont like extra apps. ill check it out and see what it does later.

Hi,
so I tried again the manila cab that was postet above. Well, it works fine, I just cannot find the "contacts" in there which I like to set as left soft-key. The "calendar" setting works fine either as direct setting in the HKLM or using the cab.
I also tried again to start the poutlook.exe directly out of the file-explorer and in contrast to the start of the calendar, nothing happened. So it must be any other file to start ???
Also I tried to link the "kontakte" (a small link-file) directly in HKLM, but got an error-msg telling me that the file does not have the required security-attributes or whatsoever.
I will keep on searching but happy for any adviece.
Berst Regards
Rolf

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
