Hi there,
Cant believe after being on this forum for a while I didnt ask on here with all you superb programs that can write firmwares.
Anyway,
I'm looking for a very simple program to be written that can be used under XP/Vista.
Its probably quite simple to you programmers but I havn't a clue. (Hardware yes software no.)
Basically I'm after a simply reminder program that could pop up a message bottom right of the screen when a period has been reached after a start date has been set.
As an example:
Once the program is installed after 6 months a reminder glides up bottom right of the screen with a message, this message can be closed by the user but only reset by me.
It is going to be used to remind my customers to pop their machine back for its 6month Free Checkup.
Then when we have performed the check we can reset the counter to remind again in 6 months.
CAn anyone help,
Many thanks.
DAve.

Can you please provide a solution to this problem? I have several soft keyboards (SIPs) and every time I go to select one, I have to wait ten seconds for the keyboard list to appear (pop-up). I click on the little arrow next to the right of the keyboard icon and the list of soft keyboards shows up 8-10 seconds later. PLEASE HELP…
I've seen others post some sort of fix for this. It involves removing some software or something like that. Do a search on something like keyboard list or SIP list.
Wait, I just found the thread. You started that thread also and an answer was supplied. Why did you start a new thread? Did that not work? Even so, why not just keep posting in that one? What the hell? Is it a hobby of yours to open new threads to just keep asking the same question?

EDIT: Dude! This is the 3rd time you opened a thread and asked the same question!!!

Each time you got an answer with no response from you!
Thanks For Nothing…
I saw it however the solution wasn’t saying why it works. Anyway, THANKS TO YOU, I followed that solution and now all my soft keyboards are gone. The only keyboard I see in the list is the default built-in keyboard. You killed my Tilt, it doesn’t even function after a soft reset. THANKS FOR NOTHING…

How to reduce soft keyboard pop-up delay?
I have added two soft keyboards to my AT&T Tilt and when I try to select them by clicking on the up arrow next to the keyboard icon; it takes ~8 seconds for the keyboard list to appear. How can I reduce this time by modifying a registry key?
As I read in a forum,using a Registry Editor go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and export CLSID.
Delete CLSID and then run the file you exported before (CLSID.reg).It will ask if you want to import the file and you press "Yes".
Don't know why it works because it's the same thing, but it works!
And opening the same exact thread every other day was your response? maybe if you dialoged with the person, you'd get some feedback.
And apparently others have gotten it to work just fine. You are the only person who's "Tilt got Kilt" by this.
Any time you decide to mess with the Registry, you know the possible consequences. Blaming me or anyone else for your mistake is LAUGHABLE. A hard reset will basically allow you to do over. So your phone isn't dead, as you want to have us believe. And then you will say, I didn't have a backup. And somehow, that also will be our fault. People like you make people not want to provide help.

Ha, sorry you lost your keyboards, the saying I like most on this forum is "If you can't take the heat, stay out of the ROM Kitchen".
If you delete that registry entry and NOT restore it correctly I would guess that something like this would happen. You must follow instructions exactly and even then things can happen. I use Spb backup and keep my PPC backed up after EVERY successuful addition to the phone. If I screw up, I would restore back to the previous step. I haven't needed to yet and I've changed something on this Kaiser almost every day for 2 months now.
So don't whine to us, be responsible for you own data when you modify your toys like the rest of us or go play somewhere else
I've recently switched from a Palm TX to the Tilt, and now I'm in a fix. I have been all over the internet trying to find a simple time keeping program. I've lived by "Time Card 2" for palm OS. The Program opens with 2 large buttons, an IN and a OUT. Pressing the button logs the time, and the elapsed time, between the IN and the OUT. Of course it exports the data as a .cvs. It also keeps a running total for weeks, until you reset it. Everything that I have found for WM6 has been way too complex, and hard to use. I use this while I'm driving, so having to pull the stylis out is not a good idea.
I know this request may be a little out of line for this forum...but if anyone knows....it would be you guys!
here's what i found what sounded aproximately like what you need...

hope its what you need
Thanks Pencilcase,
PPocket Time Card 1.4.01, which was the first suggestion that you listed, I have used on my old iPaq. This program would fill my needs but....it will not run on my AT&T Tilt. I contacted the developer, no plans on a upgrade for WM6.
Thanks for the suggestion....in any case.
Hey mlpoland,
It sounds like a pretty simple program. If you give me a description of what you want, I'll try to write it for you.

Help
Dave,
That would be great. I believe that it would be a simple program to write, I just wouldn't know where to get started. Do you use Visual Basic.net? Well here are the steps:
OPEN SCREEN: Two Large Buttons (one IN and one OUT)
PRESSING EITHER BUTTON: Logs the time like using the "NOW" function in Excel
"IN" BUTTON PRESS: Logs the time, starts a record.
"OUT" BUTTON PRESS: Logs the time and IF there has been an "IN" time recorded, calculates the elapsed time.
"OUT" BUTTON PRESSED: If no "IN" Button is recorded before it, a N/A is returned.
THE RECORDED FILES: The Spread sheet can be view on a second screen, allowing the records to be edited.
DATA EXPORTED: In a .csv format, giving the Day, Time, and Elapsed Time, Plus the Total of all the Elapsed time.
A RESET CLEARS ALL RECORDS:
The Palm OS program that I've used has a couple of additional features which are not critical. It records the elapsed time is 1/10 hour format, which is nice for my use, plus it turns the Palm Off after a button press.
It would be Great if you could help me with this, it doesn' seem like a very hard program to write.....I don't even know how to start!
Thanks

Ok I have something for you..
Let me know how it works.. It's writen for .Net so the compact framework is a requirement.
Just extract the PunchClock.zip to an arbitrary directory and execute the PunchClock.exe file..
It creates a punchClock.txt file in same directory as executable.. It's in CSV format with <DateTime>,<ellapsed nr. of seconds>,...
Program error
Thanks for the help. Conceptionally, the program appears to fill the need, however it faults out after any action past the first "punch in".
The details that are reported are as follows:
PunchClock.exe
ObjectDisposedException
at
System.Windows.Forms.Control.Invoke
Helper()
System.Windows.Forms.Control.Invoke()
at
RobinsFirstWM6.SimpleTimer.startTimer()
Hope this helps, I've typed it exactly as it appears on my screen. Thanks for helping with the requested program
Thanks again,
Marc
Ok.. on my kaiser it seems to run smooth.. but I'll look in to this..
I've read your description somewhat more and am planning a few changes that will make it more robust.
I only need time to sit down an code.. so stay tuned
Regards
Robin
Robin,
Thanks for your time and effort. I will be offline for a week...I've updated my signature with the info on my phone....maybe that will help you.
Thanks again,
Marc
I would be interesting in this as well, look forward to seeing the next version.
Simple Time Keeping Program
Folks,
It has been a week or so....so I thought I'd try to bring this thread back to life.
Thanks,

I've had my Kaiser (tilt blah) for about 3 months now, and most of my issues I've solved off this forum through .cab downloads, or just becoming unretarted, but I have some questions about the default text program that I havent been able to answer myself... Everytime you send a message, you get a "message sent" notification that interrupts pretty much everything you're doing after your message. Is there a way to turn it off? Maybe just have a sound confirming it was sent? The other thing is sometimes when I text, the text input box at the bottom of the screen doesn't scroll with the words, making it impossible to see what you're typing or if you made any mistakes. Is it my phone? Or has someone created a patch so fix such things? (both). And that guy that said WM for this phone sucks it a waste of life. This is the best OS for a phone. Just may ned some encouragement from time to time, but It doesnt suck.

I have searched and searched for the last 3 days on XDA and other websites for a solution to this and this is the best I can come up with.
http://freewareppc.com/communication/missedcallreminder.shtml
This program will repeat the notifications for SMS and missed calls. After you hit the "Apply" button the program appears to close but it's not it's sitting in memory but as far as I can tell it doesn't really hurt performance. What I did to solve the fact that you have to run it after every soft reset is I copied the shortcut to the windows/startup folder. When your TILT boots it will auto run and retain the previous settings. You just need to press accept when ever you reset the phone.
This does NOT cause the notification to continuously repeat even after you read the SMS like the registry edit does.
Unlike PhoneAlarm, this program is very small and doesn't slow down the device.
I am NOT the author of this program, just suggesting the program here.
P.S. As you can see by my join date, I am new the the neighborhood. I am by no means an expert, but I hope this helps other people avoid the search/install/soft reset/uninstall/soft reset (REPEAT 10 times)
For those interested, that program was actually started here on XDA. Here is the thread where you should post all questions and requests for the author.

but the fact remains i've asked for help since last year and nobody no one advanced me a single helping hint about flashing my htc trin100 from wm5 to wm6.1, once i do not know why but i can not active sync my device in both my rigs: an asus desktop and/or a Fugitsu notebook, both recent and working fine in every other aspects. But i do not reach "active syncness" with them and my htc now does not even allow to install any new application whatsoever - it wheels and wheels around and around and does not install. And if i try another application installment, it returns to the anterior attempt and ends up declaring it did not succeed!!! The damn thing!
Now i thing its clear that the system reached a no-return status of pseudo-brickness: because applications will sometimes either run smoothly, either inform they could not find some component... which, days later, they seem to find and happily run then.
I do not have the know-how or the patience to try to learn how to cope with this stupid obnoxious situation.
That's why i'm here requesting help which i'm prepared to pay for.

be more specific what you ask...??
I want to flash my htc ROM and dont know how...
Well my good people from orb 3000 (whom i do not know and ignore their
possible disciplinary role in this site...), i don't want to appear offensive but i feel compelled to argument my case as follows:
1st - I am not offering money: its clear and obvious i am requesting a service and declaring i am willing to pay for it.
2nd - I find it curious enough that orb 3000 or whoever takes time and
patience to advise it (he/her, them) do/does not like to see someone
performing what i described in the above point, but does not care or
assume any negative assertion against « soliciting », and let me remind the eventual reader that one can detect sundry appeals as "DONATE" in
various posts in this here site.
Donate what? credit-KUDOS?!
Frankly...Orb 3000!!!
Kind Regards from
