Hi,
I run Blackberry Connect on my Touch Pro to connect to my company BES but I prefer to suspend the service in the evenings and at weekends so I don't receive work emails in my personal time and also save a little battery life.
In the Symbian version of BBConnect there was an option to schedule when the service starts and stops each day which suited my needs well. However, I can't find this option in the WM6 version (having tried 4.0.0.100 and 4.0.0.103).
So at the moment it takes 6 clicks to manually suspend\resume the service:
Start > Settings > System > Blackberry > Status > Suspend\Resume
Can anyone help me come up with a way to either:
1) Schedule the service to suspend\resume as I would like e.g. on 0800-1800 Mon-Fri
2) Find out what changes in the registry when the BBConnect service is suspended\resumed and find a way to change this value with a single click
or
3) Create a shortcut straight to the Blackberry settings applet to a least reduce the number of clicks to get there manually
Many thanks!

There is an executable called bbsettings.exe located in \Program Files\BlackBerry. You can link to this and go to the status tab to suspend the blackberry service. I don't know if you could drive this with a script or not.

That's great! Thanks. I'm now down from 6 clicks to 4.
However, if anyone else has any ideas on how to simplify this further, I'd love to hear from you.
finaly i found a clue:
to disable bes, just kill bbmain.exe process.
to enable bes, run the bbmain.exe
to integrate this into comm manager you need vjbrisk and taskmgr (because comm manager cannot run shortcuts like :\Program Files\TaskMgr.exe" /kill bbmain.exe to kill bbmail.exe)
i have assigned 2 commands to beam and data connection settings from the topaz commmanager (the one that has on/off buttons and actions for each row) so when i press the beam action it runs bbmain and when i press data connection it runs vjbrisk witch runs vjbrisklnk.lnk witch runs taskmgr.exe /kill bbmain.exe
i will attach a cab that will create 2 shortcuts in programs folder bb_on and bb_off
and will change the action of beam and data connection in comm manager(will probably work only on the topaz comm manager).

ALLEGEDLY, the ROM update for the i-mate SP5 went LIVE today, and looking at the feature list, it contained a fair old whack more than just Push Email:
------------------------------------------------------------
Microsoft™ Messaging and Security Feature Pack (MSFP):

Keypad Light Timing:
The timeout of the keypad light can now be set. There is a utility in the 'Utilities' section of the SP5 support pages that will let you set it. Note that setting the keypad light over 8 seconds will cause significant reduction in battery life.

ALAS, it seems it was instantly PULLED again, from the i-mate site, as per this thread on Modaco:
http://www.modaco.com/I_mate_SP5_ROM_Officially_Released_today_-t238322.html
Did anyone manage to grab it before it was removed?
it's there, and i am downloading it now
I downloaded it when it became live.
ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/i-mate_SP5m_WWE_2.6.331.2.zip
I'm downloading again to check if they're diferent.
BTW: This one was there too: ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/i-mate_SP5m_WWE_2.5.331.2.zip
- Does anyone knows the diference between 2.5 and 2.6 ?
Note that for SP5 there is only the 2.5 version:
ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/i-mate_SP5_WWE_2.5.331.2.zip
I don't know what the difference is, but I installed 2.5.331.2 and when I go to system information, under Service Pack, it says "N/A". Does that mean its not AKU2?

There is no difference. I downloaded 2.6, loaded it up, worked fine, except for WiFi, (which turned out to be my error), so downloaded 2.5. And they are the same per the ROM info screen on System Info. Both installed fine. Not sure about AKU2 as I didn't have a way to check that.
Gday all,
I've recently moved over from old nokia to a new windows mobile device (Samsung i620 if it matters). Every time I power cycle the phone, turn the radio off or go out of coverage the clock is automatically set one hour slow, and doesn't even alert me or prompt before doing so.
My laptop, desktop and exchange server all sync the time correctly. All devices are set to the correct locale, time zone and DST settings.
Does ANYONE know how to disable this sync with network 'feature' in WM6? I've found plenty of places that explain how to do so in WM5, but none for WM6. Surely there'll be a registry flag for this?
Many thanks for any helpful suggestions,
Alex

I'm pretty certain I have checked every possible setting that can be configured from the UI, hence my wondering about a possible registry key?
Is no-one else seeing this problem?
Hi, Ive just been checking my phonebill and noticed since upgrading to the 6.1WM my phone using the internet access (GPRS/EDGE). I cant physically see whats running in task manager, but it def is accessing the internet at certain stages. I have no email set up apart from windows live (Hotmail) and that is all signed out of? How to i stop this?
Have you already tried the following? The same helps to end GPRS/EDGE connection by using the Call End key (Red key) once you finished using the Internet. In fact, in many cases, the connection closes automatically after being idle for some time.
Go to: HKLM-->Comm-->ConnMgr-->Planner-->Settings-->SuspendResume
and delete ~GPRS! value.
maybe it is rss hub ? it can be configured to update rss each time it detects a connection.
In Dr. Gonzo's rom there is a util in the System folder called NoData. I use this to disable my gprs connection because I never use it and its pay per use. Its very simple to enable when you want to use data.
ok, ill take a look? What does HKLM mean?
It means you need to edit the registry on your phone, HKLM means "HKey Local Machine". I have just done this as it was leaving the data connection active on the standard WM6 HTC ROM, and it worked.
Thanks!
Thanks for the help.
Hi all,
I'm new to the OPen Touch ROMs and just flashed my wing over to the 7.4 2d Lite version (which was recommended by more than a few). I got it all up and running but I have synced to my Exchange Server for work but I can't find a Direct Push option in Comm Manager. I really need to sync via direct push and so far from what I can see I like this ROM.
Also the Data Connection in Connection Manager seems to be always off (at times) and doesn't have the option to be turned on. I thought I had read about this somewhere in one of the many posts that I've went through but couldn't find it on my search.
Thanks for any help.

You dont need direct push on comm manager . Open activeSync>Schedule and set peak times to as items arrive and off peak time to as items arrive. This turns direct push on. If you really want it on comm manager you can change reg settings.
Thanks for the info. Do you know what registry settings I would need to change to get this in the comm manager?
I like having the ability to turn it on and off easily and I think having it in CommManager would be a little nicer than having to open AS and change the settings each time.
Thanks,
Lance
hello all,
1. I have been unsuccessfully trying to install the ms voip client that's been deliberately cut out of all roms for 750's
I followed all the possible instruction sets similar to, say, here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401608&highlight=voip
Everything seems to install ok and you can even configure the thing to go through 3g, but it just doesn't want to actually start working.
Problem number one - no internet tab in phone settings
Problem number two - the today plugin is always in the "off" state.
My thoughts on this:
These problems might be coming out of the fact that 750's don't have wi-fi which seems to be the default behaviour for the voip client.
Also, according to here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa923501.aspx
hklm\comm\rtc\ doesn't look like it has enough settings
2. On top of it all i'd like to bring g.729 codec support to the attention.
All i've been able to dig up is that you have to put the .acm file in the right place -> add some registry settings:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\CODEC_G729]
"Prefix"="ACM"
"Dll"="g729.acm"
"Order"=dword:0
"Flags"=dword:2
-> and then configure the use somewhere in \\hklm\comm\rtc\
Has anyone successfully installed and used it?
Let's bring all these things together so it all starts making sense.
Thank you for your time.
I have the same problem.
No matter what I install, the "internet" option never becomes available in the phone settings.
I believe this may have to do with "PLMOCPL.cpl" being used as the phone settings CPL instead of "cplmain.cpl" on the Palm.
I have changed a setting under "HKLM>System>State>VoIP>Phone". I changed "Network Preferences" from 0 to 1, which i think is what the control panel does anyway.
Now instead of "Internet Calling: Off", I get "Pennytel: No Service".
Anyonw else come up with anything? Any way to edit the cpl to include the internet settings?
