There is a number "1" on my taskbar - General Questions and Answers

All of a sudden I notice a "1" on my taskbar. What is it, how can I remove it?
I've lost the ability to view my Wi-fi signal since this number is using it's spot.
Cheers,
Paul

Maybe it means that line number 1 is being used, I used to see that on Nokia phones but never on a WM device...

Dual line or sim card
Hi
I think that WM can display this number if it thinks you have a dual SIM card or two lines on your SIM card. How you might change lines, etc, I have no idea. I don't think the feature is fully supported in WM.

No Dual SIM here, and I don't have 2 lines on the phone. Out of nowhere it just appeared. I just want it to not be displayed>

Did you try to modify icons in the taskbar from the mui files? Cause if you did, maybe something got messed up during the change. When did it start? Was it at a random moment, after you up/downgraded your Rom, been happening since you got the device?...Also, does it keep on happening if you soft reset.

Nope, didn't try to modify anything in the windows / mui's, only once i installed the HTC Call Recorder, since it didn't work i uninstalled that, but that was in november. This happened in random about 3 days ago...i thought it was like an updated "voice mail messages". It hasn't gone away. It stays after soft resets, i even searched through options in advanced Config.

OK. Get a file explorer that lets you view hidden files, such as Total Commander. Then unhide all files. Search for image files, probably a .bmp. Find the image that looks like your number 1 (it'll look different, probably black and white), and find what folder it is in. That will give you an idea of what program is using the file. If it is just in the windows directory, find its properties IE when was it installed there. That might let you narrow it down to a day. It's a hard work around, but it should work.
Apart from Dual Sim, I don't know of any program that would put a 1 in your bar, except for 1xRTT.bmp.

Where should I unhide the files? Windows Folder?
Paul

THe "Unhide files" option usually unhides files across the whole device, not folder specific, much the same as in Windows XP. There may be other options about which files to unhide, you want to unhide ALL of them, including system files.

understood, but where would i seek the "1.bmp" file per say....

You would need to use the search tool and search for ALL .bmp files. And if it is not there, than ALL .png files. And if it is not there than ALL .jpg files. And if it is no there than ALL .jpg files. It shouldn't be any other extension. You would have to search through each group of images until you came to the one which you are seeing. It's a long drawn out process, but should solve your problem eventually, or at least provide you with a little more information on what's going on.

UPDATE
Here is an update on my issue:
When I turn on my Bluetooth, the number goes away.....but when I turn it off, it reappears. Will do the searches now from work.
Paul

I also have a number "1" in my task bar now. I recently changed providers and it apeared when i insertet my new sim-card. Using wifi, bluetooth or other program that creates a taskbar icon makes the "1" dissapear. I have no clue what it means or does. :/

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.

Remove/Hide Phone Status

Happy New Year to all!
1) I'm using HTC on WM6.1, when turn off cellular radio at Comm Manager, the phone status will show "Phone Off" at "Phone" dialer screen.
How to remove/hide this "Phone Off" wording from showing at "Phone" dialer screen or anywhere in the phone. Or can i even change the "Phone Off" to some other word (Fake operator carier name)?
2) new to WM, how to browse/view \\windows folder?
Please help. Thanks in adavance!
NK
that's for changing the operator:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=359563
and about browsing windows:
1. connect to your pc using activesync
2. go to your device's root folder (on your pc.. not your device)
3. dunno which version of windows/linux you're running, but you need to remove the "hidden" parameter from the windows dir...
then you'll be able to view it in your file explorer on your device...
1)
I can change operator name at registry w/o the app. But no matter what operator name u change, it will show "Phone Off" once you swith off the cellular radio option in Comm Manager.
(Simple, imagine using the pda with Sim Card/Phone function BUT phone status there show something else instead of "Phone OFF")
2)
i can't see any windows folder on my root folder (PC), i'm on WM6.1
1. i believe the link i sent you will solve this issue. try it.
2. you need to enable watching hidden system files on your comp.
which version of windows are you using?
1. aight, will try that 1st
2. i'm on vista, already enabled show system/hidden file
if you enabled showing HIDDEN SYSTEM FILES...
and you went to your root directory of your device (thru the computer, not thru the device), and disabled the Hidden property... there's no way you can't see it now.. unless something is very wrong over at your device's side
that's why do i missed anything? need to set anything on the device? just bought it all default setting..
nope. nothing. windows is generally marked as hidden. if you remove the parameter, you should be able to see it wherever.
which file explorer are you using?
normal windows explorer
hehe.. i meant on your device
erm..i can view it on my device but not in PC
you can view your windows folder on your device... and can't view it on your pc?
that's.... weird.
Yup.
Back to the first question, How to remove/hide this "Phone Off" wording from showing at "Phone" dialer screen or anywhere in the phone. ?
The "Personalizer" app dint help, it will still shows "Phone Off" after set to off at Comm Manager.
Anyone?
please help!
anyone have solution?
I'm sorry, i searched and searched and couldn't find anything relating to this subject.
It's ok, thanks for your help! hope some expert reply my thread with solution 1 day.
Maybe i make thing complicated.
What i want is actually OFF the phone (only PDA function), nobody can call in but when my girlfriend play around with my phone, she won't know i OFF the phone! i think your should know why i'm doing this.. but thats off topic!
SO, any other phone dialer than dont have this "Phone OFF" status showing? so that i can replace current dialer. i had use WM5, thats fine, no phone/network status showing, but dont tell me to downgrade to WM5..heh

JUST CAN'T fix Q9h WM6.1 SMS timestamp error.

Hi everyone!
I've been going through this ENTIRE forum, and countless others on top of dozens upon dozens of google searches, and I still haven't found a solution to my SMS timestamp error.
All the solutions offered up by people seem seriously promising, because they seem to help a lot of people, and that is what's kept me hopeful: that someone out there/in here can help me fix this problem.
Basically, I have an unlocked Fido Motorola Q9h, that is being used on the Rogers network. Never delved into flashing my device, cuz I was happy with WM6. Not to mention I'd got it tweaked to a very lovely point
Then a week ago, my phone locked up after I'd put my phone into airplane mode (I'd done this countless times before with no issue), and just would not let me turn the antenna back on. Nothing I tried worked, so of course I eventually caved and did a hard reset. That was when I figured I would give WM6.1 a try, seeing as how my device was gonna be starting from scratch anyway.
I flashed to an unlocked AT&T WM6.1 ROM, and went ahead with all the registry tweaks to remove all the bloatware. Phone is pretty damn clean if I do say so myself. I've got PHM on there, GPSID, CHome COnfigurator, and that's really about it.
After all that was said and done, and I got my first SMS, I realized the message was timestamped 4 hours behind. Every single SMS from every single contact shows timestamped 4 hours earlier. In the threaded SMS stream, my messages are timestamped correctly, but the other peoples' aren't.
Example:
Me (7:37): Send me a text to see if this timestamp issue's been fixed.
Steph (3:37): Okay =)
The strange thing is that MMS messages come in with the correct timestamp, and that is something that seriously boggles my mind.
Please, please, PLEASE. If anyone out there has some kind of suggestion, I would absolutely love to hear it. Here are the remedies I've tried that have had no effect:
-Installed DST cab from Microsoft.
-"TrustTimeZoneField" w/DWORD value of "0" minus quotations of course
-"TrustTimeZoneField" wDWORD value of "1" to allow the device to trust the provider's time just in case my phone was screwing up.
-"RcvTimeStamp" w/DWORD value of "1"
-tweaked some "NetworkTimeSync" (or something along those lines) entry to a value of "1" instead of its current value of "0," but nothing.
I'm at the end of my rope here guys and girls, so please, anything you can suggest that I haven't already tried would be infinitely appreciated
Thanks in advance everybody
although i dont know the answer ive got a thing for you to try
in the setting section make sure you regional settings are set correctly
Thanks Pilot, will double check those settings. Well, as per your instructions, I've double-checked the settings, and they're correct. Have my locale set as English (Canada), and nothing. Even changed it to English (United States) just to see, but to no avail.
*sigh*
I am almost at my wits end...Is there no one out there with a Q9h running the unlocked AT&T WM6.1 ROM, that's having the same issue??? Or even better, someone out there who's SOLVED the issue?
I've even called Rogers and they suggested a new SIM card, seeing as how I have the original SIM from Rogers, and I'm waiting on it. I've even tried my sister's SIM which is a new one, but nothing. Figure it HAS to be the ROM
Found a solution to timestamp issue with q9 & wm6.1!!!
Hi everyone!!!
I can't believe I'm actually going to be the person posting the solution to this problem, but I guess it's true that perseverance pays off
This post is in regards to the sms timestamp issue that I've noticed several people are having with the moto q9 once they upgrade to wm6.1 and are on a Canadian service provider.
***This solution involves modifying your device's registry, so if you do not feel comfortable or are unfamiliar with the process, please do not proceed with the modification. I will not be held responsible for any bricked/malfunctioning devices as a result of this tweak***
Use a reg editor (I used the free PHM registry editor), and navigate to:
-HKLM (HKey Local Machine)
-Software
-Motorola
-RilDrv
Now that you're in the RilDrv Folder, there should be a few more folders in here...don't navigate to any specific one, just click the "values" softkey (whatever it may be for your devices), and somewhere in the values that become visible, you should see one that says "LocalizedTimeStamp." Open that value and modify it's value to "0" (without the " " of course)
Reboot your device, wait 10 seconds, cross your fingers and toes, and restart your device. Once your device is fully booted, and seems to be functioning normally, send yourself a text message, and check the received timestamp. It *should* be correct (ie. a minute or two or less in the future of your sent timestamp). To be sure it isn't just for your own texts, ask someone to text you anything, and hopefully the result it yields will be the same.
I have only tested this solution on an unlocked Motorola Q9h from Fido, running the unlocked AT&T WM6.1 ROM on Rogers.
I serached for close to a month with no real viable solution, so I just kept poking and prodding at my registry. Yeah, kinda dangerous I know, but I was at my wits end with this little bug. Finally though, the time and investigation paid off
Hope it goes well for all of you out there who are having the same problem!

GDGPS3.5''

I have here a GolD GPS, model GDGPS3.5''.
I'm sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong are or the wrong forum even, but I don't know where else to look.
I'm trying to install a new Cardinale version, that is, the 3.0 Black. The device has, up until now, used the original SD card with an older IGo version. As mentioned, I'd like to update the maps and the software used to Cardinale, and since the original card is too small to do anything useful with it, I've bought a new one.
In order to install the new cardinale, I need to simply copy it to the card, load it with the device along with the maps and languages I need, and run it from the device, yes?
My problem is as follows - once I turn the device on, it gets stuck on the company splash screen. No errors, no Windows, no messages, just a splash screen and nothing loads. In order to run it, I would need it to load its system so I can navigate to the exe file, but I get nothing but a splash screen?
Could it be that the device is locked in such a way not to recognize anything beyond its original software? If so, how would I go about unlocking it? The device has Win CE. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. doing some more checking, I found that it uses Nav N Go Igo from 2006, if this info is of any use.
I have now downloaded a new version of Nav N Go Igo and attempted to copy it to the new card. The device still refused to even begin loading.
I then backed up all the contents of the old SD, copied them exactly as they were to the new SD, and then tried loading, hoping to be able to still load the old software, but just add new maps to the now bigger SD.
It finally loaded it, but upon getting past the splash screen it sad "HardwareIDerror" and prompted me to shut down the device, not letting me do anything else.
It seems the device in locked to one and only one card, the original 256MB card that came with it, and refuses to accept others even if they have the identical content. Is there any way to unlock it and make it accept other cards without throwing the Hardware ID error?
P.S. another thing that might be of importance : whether the device works or not, I'm not presented with the WinCE interface. I have no start menu, no icons to click. All I get when the device is turned on properly, is the simple Nav N Go application, ready to go, without letting me choose anything else. I can't shut down the app alone and get back to WinCE, because I never was given access to WinCE.

Hi! About that gps you got problems with, i have one now same model and with the same problem. have you got any solution fot it? did you managed to get rid of that splash screen and enter in the WinCE? i am very curious .
I was doing a trick. when shutting down the igo program it gave me a screen and i was holding the screen tapped and creating a new folder. open the new folder and from there through the explore bar get into WinCE filesystem. After that remove the SDcard with iGO6 and put in the iGO8 map updated and open it manually from the system.
If you know any solution to get rid of this entire ritual please i would be gratefull if you would let me know
Respect!

"1" on tray. How could I take it off?

Hello, I formated my fuze, installed some programs as S2U2, QuickMenu, and later I saw that there was a "1" number appearing in the tray, as you can see in the image below...
It keeps everytime on the tray when the fuze is not sleeping, I don't know why, but before formating, it has never appeared.
How could I take it off?
Regards.
Henrique
As far as i know this shows the active phone number for phones or simcards that can have more than one number ... Maybe this can help you to find out how to delete this number
Omg... Since I formated my fuze, it has not appeared, but later I installed some programs, and it started on my tray. I am really crazy about this f****** thing on my tray that always disturb others icons... If anybody know, PLEASE, HELP ME to figure out this number one, or I will have to format it again!
I dont know about SIMs that supports more than one number, mine is not a dual-sim, and my fuze is working as worked before formating, I dont know why this number appeared.
Helps, please
heyy... I use just one SIM, why this `1` number???
What is Multi-Lne? How can I turn it off?
I have the same 1 on the tray, since I switched to MobileVikings (a virtual provider in Belgium), in my case it seems to be related to the sim-card I use and it is the line that I'm using (saw that when switching it under Settings > Phone > ALS > line2, might be a little bit different, it's translated from dutch). The stupid thing is I have no idea why there are 2 lines, the second doesn't work, so I'm wondering if I could delete this somehow...
i don't have this problem if i enabled 3g in comm manager, but once i turned 3g off it appeared, hope this helps...
So strange, because before formating, it worked always normally, and I've not changed operator or anything, neither the ROM, only reinstalled it, and now.. this f*** number is disturbing so much on my tray.
I dont want it anymore, ugly number one
Grr
