Settings-> Personal -> Menus - General Questions and Answers

Hi all, i have problems opening the menus under settings->personal->menus. It does not open when clicked on the icon "Menus". Any idea what is the cause of this issue?
I am using window mobile 6.1
Appreciate your help

Hi,
any help to resolve this is deeply appreciated. the menus is not able to open, is there a solution for this beside hard reset?
thanks

No idea why it has happened, have you tried a soft reset?
If yes, then try a hard reset...

i will not like to do a hard reset because it will be too much troublesome to reinstall all the programs i had.
i did a soft reset and it still cannot open when i click on the icon menus

If only 'Menu' not work, maybe first check the registry for that control panel item, ref. here.
If never play around with registry, please read the guide on this thread first.
The problem may also not from registry, but you may take some time to sort it out.
I would suggest to install QuickMenu First. Then you can take your time to fix it.
BTW if you only want to manage sttart menu, you can do it through editing the subfolders & items inside \Windows\Start Menu\

Can I change phone softkeys function?

Hey,
been having a problem with WM6 on my wizard. A certain program that i must install causes the phone left softkey to be stuck on "contacts" (instead of "hide keypad" and "show keypad"). this is a major problem since when I call a service or an operator, I need to push buttons, but I can't get to the keypad during a call.
Is there anyway to change that? (registry, program, other)
Thanks a lot for any help.

Look in the WIKI there are several different ways to change your Softkeys in WM6.
The Wiki doesn't have info on the keypad softkeys.. I've checked.
Anyway, I found a solution to the problem, but I can't apply it.
I have to rename a file named "tapres.dll.0409.mui" and then SR, and it should solve my problem. The problem is that I just can't rename it. I've tried using Total Commander, File explorer and GSfinder with no success. I even did a HR and tried again with no success.
Any ideas how can I rename that file?
if its just the bottom softkeys you want to change i think this is what your looking for

Spb tips and tricks issues

I was messing around with some suggestions that they list under the "Tweaks" section. I am not sure which one caused the problem, but for some reason I have text running off the right hand side of the screen that can't be read. How do I get back to the Treo 750 defaults in this area without doing a hard reset. As an example: in the "settings" under "system" if you open "clock&alarms" you will loose the minutes of the time settings. 5: is all you can see. I am sure that it is an easy change, however, I have not been able to find it. Thanks.

Question on Slider home screen

Hello friends, I got the WM6.1 Plane Jane Final by Ricky installed on my Cingular 2125 and I'd like to change the tabs on my home screen.
I have used the CHome Settings tool in Settings tab to hide a few tabs that I don't need (My Faves, Internet etc). When I exit the CHome Settings program, it asks me whether to save and I always say "yes". When I am back to the home screen, I see it changed.
BUT, on restart, I lose everything ! All the default tabs along with default pages are back. So, is there a way I can make this permanent?
Is it a known problem, is there a solution for it? I tried searching, but didn't help much. Thanks for any help.
i have the same question
but sometimes i restart the cellphone it was still Ok

HELP!! a bricking - how can I hard reset?

I know it is my fault, I was using the Advanced Configuration Tool and thought I could make the screen on the x7510 more sensitive. The result was the opposite and the screen now won't respond to taps at all. So no possibility of screen input.
Without that, I can't use the same tool to put the settings back to what they were before, as it requires a screen tap to commit changes before re-booting. The absence of soft keys on the keyboard makes for problems here.
For the same reason, I can't hard reset using the Clear Storage tool, as that also requires a screen tap. I can't use Resco Registry Editor as that requires screen taps too.
So I am in somewhat of a quandary, happy to hard reset and start again, but no way of doing it that I can see.
Could I re-load the ROM? Someone uploaded the WWE version, but it unzips to three .raw files, which I have no idea what to do with.
Help please!! I need this as I am on holiday, I may be slow coming back to any replies, we are in Laos, where comms are, shall we say, a little slow, and we are travelling about. the first chance i get to sort this out I will use though.
Thanks for any help anyone can give.

If you have access to a PC onto which you may install software, then you can download and install MyMobiler, which is freeware. Get it here: www.mymobiler.com.
This will allow you to control your device from the PC, using the mouse, so you'd be able to make the changes you need to make.
Good luck!

hi
To make a Hardreset hold the volume slider down and press the reset button.
see wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Athena_Resets
but keep it in your mind that all your data (in rom) will be lose after hardreset
saied
thanks guys, just back from the Far East, appreciated your help and everything now restored.

For reference, I had this same problem yesterday. Didn't know of this thread at the time but managed to sort it out. It is completely possible to use the "clear storage" option in Settings>>System navigating using the keyboard. Fn>>OK brings up the start menu..navigate to settings using the cursor keys..press enter to select. Use TAB and cursor keys to navigate around across the tabs to "System" and again from there to "Clear Storage". Select whether to wipe the data stored on the device, on the flash disk or both using cursors/TAB, type "1234" and press the "OK" key. Done.
I had even managed to configure hardware buttons to the left/right soft keys to try to revert the settings in Advance Config, but it seems the effect of completely losing touch screen functionality is irreversible
Or you could obviously use the other method above which I didn't think to look for!! Like I said, just for reference. Might be useful to someone.
TIP: Don't change "Pressure Threshold" in Advanced Config to "Very High" as it will cause your touch screen to stop responding and the only way to get it back is by a hard reset.

[Q] Stops apps from running after a soft reset.

Can someone tell me how I can prevent certain apps from running after a soft reset without disabling, or disrupting any of the apps functions?
Thanks.
After a soft reset the device starts up the applications in the \Windows\Startup folder.
To find out if you can live without them, cut and paste them out to another folder, then soft reset. Paste 'em back if you need 'em. A bit of trial and error on your part required here.
Other startup items may be buried in the registry under :-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Start Items
Again take a copy, or write all this stuff down before you start messing about.
Cool thanks!
I appreciate it.
