Hi,
I'm new to windows mobile smartphone. Eveytime i want to close any program or exit an application i have to go to the Windows Task Manager. It's very irritating
I don't understand one thing why microsoft didn't thought need of close button in windows mobile smartphone. In the pocketpc they've given the button to close application then why don't they haven't given in smartphones.
i don't know another way, i think its the only one

Quite often , even with that button, the program is not really deallocated from the RAM..so... is not that strange to use Task Manager on pocketPC too.
So don't be too angry
That's it....Build-in Windows Program can't
I've used AE Button to set up the powerbutton to close the active app when pressed once. Restart phone when pressed twice. And turn off phone when held.
AEButton Plus is the solution of all.

It does with a bit of work.
This is how you do it:
- it works!!!!
In the directory you installed the Mobile Developer Power Toys, find the "Activesync Remote Display" directory and RTFM ......
Basically, all you need to do is copy the two files in "C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile Developer Power Toys\ActiveSync_Remote_Display\devices\wce400\armv4t" to the \WINDOWS directory on your WM5.0 device using ActiveSync.
When you fire up the shortcut for ActiveSync Remote Display on your PC, it *****es that "The OS or CPU of this device is unknown to this application" - just click OK and your WM5.0 display will appear in the main window!!!! The first time that you start and stop the remote display, your phone/device will give you the "This program is from an unknown publisher...." message, so just say Yes and it won't ask you again.
The only caveat is that you seem to get the remote display icon (windows logo in a circle) in the notification area (where the battery and screen rotation icons are) one position to the left each time you stop and start the remote display. No big deal, but can look a bit weird after you've stopped/started about ten times
Give it a go - the quality of the display on the PC is as crap as ever (and zooming it only makes it worse), but it's still nice to be able to compose a message reply on a full size keyboard from time to time
Cheers, Mark.

Excellent, thanks
works like a charm..
Do you know why they got rid of some of the toolbars and buttons on WM5?
for example, there is no send and receive button on the outlook window, and no speed dial button on the phone window.
Thanks

After having installed the HTC cab for TomTom (just the app + one free city map) on my Orbit 2 I noticed that TomTom has hijacked the Windows button.
I've been through every option in the TomTom settings, but can't find a way to stop this.
Can anyone advise a simple way of making my windows button go back to its original purpose (brings up the start menu) - other than uninstalling TomTom (I can work that out for myself!)
Thanks,
Roy.
Try the Settings of WM6 !
Mine is german, so i can´t tell you exactly what to do.
I mean it has to be Menu-Setting-Keys
Key 1 is what is changed by TomTom.
Change this setting to whatever you like.

Yeah, in the English version its Start/Settings/Buttons, then change the one that says TomTom to <Start Menu>

Thank you to both of you.

Does that work with the Touch Cruise, too? I ask that, because the Touch Cruise has a GPS-Button instead of a Windows button.
PS: I don't own a Windows Mobile phone, but want to buy one in near future.
Yep, curiously the icons for the buttons are for mail and calendar, just like the first two buttons on most WM phones.

HTC Touch Pro 2 - AT&T, Keyboard doesn't work correctly, CABfiles dont Open! -HELP!
Hi Guys. I Just recently bought a HTC Touch pro 2, specifically for AT&T yesterday. It was used, etc. It has windows mobile 6.5 pre-installed, but has MANY problems on it! When I pres the alt key, it goes on capslock. When I press the ok key, goes on Function key (For the numbers) But the numbers dont work, instead when i click on one of the numbers, it displays as a symbol. also, at the menu when I open my keyboard, it goes to a blackscreen giving the options of "action" or "Menu" and none of them work. When I try opening .cab files, it displays as: "There is no application associated with "whatever the name of the file" Run the application first, then open this file from within the application. Also, there is another "XML" file I get when trying to download a cab file.. and I open that in opera mobile but it doesnt work. My phone also crashes occassionally.. Please Help me! My main problem is my keyboard.. The function keys and other keys dont work at all how they are supposed. I am completely new to windows mobile, and have only been using it for a day. Before this, I had an iPhone 3G, running on 3.1.2. I may have to sell this phone, but I dont want to! Please reply ASAP!
Thanks!
[ I have not gotten a reply yet, please help me guys! ]
About voice command, it does not work correctly on my Topaz, guess it's just a setting I don't get.
It also tells me that I must asign a button. If I go to settings, more, personal, buttons I see a list with six times the word "knoppen" that's dutch for buttons. The last one in the row is asign to cancel call key (end call key), if I put that button about three seconds it will lock the phone. Know I really like to asign the call key to Voice Comannder. Wich of the six buttons is that button?
Does anybody worked with this program before?
Use a file explorer like Resco of Total commander... go to Program files on your device (this app must be installed onto device not SD) look for the app folder and the exe file, copy it and paste shortcut in \Windows\Start Menu
You will then see the shortcut for the app to activate it... with BT headset, you wont need anything... press your activate button on your headset and it will work
You should not discuss torrents and Warez here... You are using an illegal version of MSVC...

Also, use TopazKeyboardController to assign a button.
Where can I get a Total Commander? Can you do it with out Total Commander
I've installed voice commander before and found an icon in Settings-more settings, personal (translated right into English from Dutch) Assigning a button won't work into settings, personal, buttons.
Where can I find TopazKeyboardController (it's the stock keyboard, right?)
Can you use this program with out a headset?
I'm using Voice Commande 1.6 french with no problem.
During install, it says it failed : normal, it has not been able to assign a hardware button to it.
Go to Settings->personal-> buttons and assign the only button you have to 'voice command'.
Now you can press the phone button for about 2 secs and you'll hear a beep and view a microphone in the notification area telling you that voice command is waiting for a vocal command.
Cheers,
Olivier.
I've used a app called shake and save, so you can find a attachment.
Wich button do I have to asign? Non of them are working. I like to use the dial up (call) button for voice command on my Touch Diamond 2.
Is there any change to get a Dutch version. I'm now running a US 1.6

See previous post to configure buttons.
Thnx for the zip
I've istalled your cab for the TopazKeyboardController. Can't find it anywhere on my device? I still can't assign a hard key to Voice Command. Please look at my screen shots a couple posts back.
I've allready installed sdkcerst, I even re-installed it.
EDIT:
I've found the topic about this keyboard controller, read it and tried it out. It works. Thnx for helping.
There is a 1.4 version in this forum of keyboardcontroller.
Also it requires another cab to work - sdkcerts.cab -install first.
the setup can be found on the settings-other selection from Manilla.
I assign the power button double click to MSVC - works great!
It works great with the keyboardcontroller I'm using this moment. Still looking for a dutch version but this is oke for now.

Some can argue
All those that bought ATT Pure can argue with that - Voice Command was installed, so it was paid for....

Is there a reason why you give download links for the apps as opposed to going to the official download sites for the apps? Is there a difference?
Thanks for the instructions, I have installed this on my HD2 with the latest stock HTC ROM.
I have followed them to the letter, but I cannot get the final setup to work.
It prompts you to click the Vlingo button and say "Search cinema tickets"
I long press the send key but nothing happens . I have checked the processes that are running after I have pressed the button and I can see:
vlManager.exe
vlingoVoice.exe
Any ideas?
Thanks

I've just tried it and can't even the launch the program...don't think this works
DO NOT INSTALL THIS.
It doesn't work very well at all and its completely messed up all of my hardware buttons.
Do not bother giving it try. Just have to wait for Google to release their voice control solution on WinMo
really annoyed now - prob going to have to do a hard reset >:<
Finally installed and working (sort of) on the HD2
I followed the directions in the first post but could never get the long_press send key to function with the app. It just stopped functioning with voice command. The directions did allow me to assign the Button one which I created by the reg edit. This allowed me to at least get to the point where you push the long send and say "search concert tickets" but the listen notification bubble never appeared. I just clicked on OK to close.
I then made a quick link to Vlingo.lnk in /program files/vlingo. The first time I press the quick link I get the screen again asking me to say "search concert tickets" and I click ok. From that point on the quick link opens up the "Listening window" and the program functions normally. It is set to close with key or silence, so it will close after you speak if there is not a lot of back ground sound. Just get it to search for anything and then open menu/home at bottom for help, options etc. Do not set to close with key only as the key does not work.
Messy but it works. Here is a not very good icon if you need one.
UPDATE EDIT: Not working for SMS. It says it sends the text message and it shows in text program as sent, but they never arrive. It will do searchs. Don't waste your time!
Trying to get icon to upload as png but it is getting
changed to a jpg image by the uploader? Sorry!
i am looking for a software i can use on my hd2 that, as im driving, i can dictate some notes and print the text files out later to put in files.
maybe this is not the best?
i am also using voice command on the hd2 so i dont want that messed up.(unless there is a better option).
a couple things that i dont have tweaked (dont know how) is to have the voice command announce phone calls as " john smith from mobile" like it did on my old phone. (it just rings here). Also, would like appointments mentioned rather than just the tone as i used to get.
thanks in advance

I did all of this except I copied every value from the existing key called 40C6
into key 40C1 and modified the string to read "(Long hold Send key)" without quotation marks.
When I started Vlingo it skipped the button setting page and went directly to the voice test (search concert tickets) page.
It works but it will lock-up when I stop using it until I power down and back up.
You will have to forgive me if I type anything like a noob cause I am.
tried everything and am wondering if someone has a piece of advice

does vlmanager.exe need to be running first ? I wonder if someone found a different version of a vlingo cab that works. I am on the elegancia rom and am curious if the people who have managed too get this to work could mention their rom versions. thanks to all.
There is a new WVGA version that came on the new Tilt 2 ROM in Rhodium section. I have been trying to make a cab, but am having issues getting it to connect to the server. If anyone can help me review and modify some of the libraries or dependancies, we can get a new working version made for WVGA devices.
Hey qpr1991, great info. What hd2 do you have - UK or T-mobile? What ROM do you use? Do you know the build-number of your windows 6.5? Do you know what radio you are using? What network are you on? I have to still use my old smartphone because I can't get vlingo to work on htc hd2 yet. I've followed your instructions many times and I am sure they work great, and I am willing to adapt my hd2's configuration to match yours enough to get vlingo working. If you are still around I'd love to hear from you. IF ANYONE GOT THIS TO WORK I'd like to ask you the same questions and maybe we can all cobble together a config that works. Thanks all.
How I finally got Vlingo working on HD2
Pick the Android build of your choice and install it on your HD2, Go to the market and download Vlingo. Works like a charm and you can play Angry Birds in the time you save trying to get it to work in WinMo.
I see Johntheboatcat has a T9193 hd2 - I wonder if qpr1991 also has the T9193? Maybe that's why you guys got it 'mostly working.' I'll look into this, and see why a rhodium and a T9193 would work but not the T8585. I'm still interested in seeing Vlingo work on the hd2. I would love to help with that rhodium cab - I don't know what I could do as far as getting it to connect to the server properly other than regedits or swapping files or .dll's with other cabs to see if that would work. I can also write mortscripts to stitch together partial functionality into something that works. Thanks again.

Hi Johntheboatcat: is that the WinMo Rom you were using when you had partial success with Vlingo? If not, do you know what it was? That's good advice about the Android version of Vlingo. Vlingo is one of the first apps I put on an android build - it is great.
I have the tilt2 with stock rom, vlingo works well, installed plus and still works great. I can say "text ??????" comes up fine, press and hold talk button again, speak my message still works great. but when I click on send nothing happens. I can press and hold talk and say "search for free to air" still works great. just won't send a text message.
