I'm trying to do 2 things on my new Tytn II and I'm wondering if anyone knows how.
First, and mostly simple, I want to somehow enable the date to show on the top bar of all screens, sort of how you can enable the clock to show on all applications. Any ideas?
Also, I manage all of my contacts through Goodlink so that it is sync'd with work. However, this prevents me from using certain features that are in the device. For example, you can't set a voice dial to a contact in Good unless it's in the Outlook mobile client that comes with the device. Is there any way to automatically sync all Good contacts with the Outlook client so the two are always up to date?
Thanks!
For the first issue, click on the clock, then on the "more" tab, there is only 1 option in this window, which does what you want

I use Pocket Outlook for my email to a great extent. I am sick and tired of clicking on two links to see the images in each email.
Switching to another email software package would be considered, but which one of them can connect and synchronize with my desktop outlook?
all the third parties one use the default databases so it syncs the same way, the application just displays the data better and gives more options.
Not true
All the third party pocket outlook replacements do not use the same outlook databases at all.
Still looking for either how to turn this on by default or for suggestions on actrual third party replacements that do a good job and do use the same DB...
I agree Kruse,
I have not found any 3rd party email SW yet that is all inclusive with the Outlook contacts database.
On a somewhat similar topic, would you or anyone else on this thread know how I can delete or turn off the (Mobile Outlook) feature that currently duplicates all of my sent emails and returns them back to my inbox on My Kaiser/TytnII? I've searched the forum for about three days and found nothing so far on this topic.
If I try to delete them the next time I Send/Receive they just show up again, which is ultra frustrating. The same sent emails (that I deleted) keep reappearing until some pre-determined setting in either the mobile or PC version of MS Outlook (expires I guess) and/or decides it is time for those emails to not register in the inbox as new mail anymore.
Could this somehow be an Outlook setting on my PC?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely
Sent items in inbox - solution (gmail, mapi)
You are not using the "recent:" setting, look into the setup instructions in google, that will get rid of the sent stuff appearing in the inbox. Basically, in your settings on the handheld only, the email address you set up in your configuration should not be
<whatever>@gmail.com
but instead:
recent:<whatever>@gmail.com

I note that your sig shows a version 1 hardSPL. Do you still use this SPL now with your 1.65 series radio? Have you seen the *Hopeless* GPS after 6.1 update thread yet? If you use a SPL designed for WM 6.0 with a WM 6.1 setup, you may encounter numerous problems. Checking the thread referred to above should help get your GPS up and running again
Guys,
My org uses goodlink (good.com) as the email service provider not microsoft's push mail. I recently upgraded to a tilt and changed the rom promptly to schapps latest release.
The way the good software works is that it adds its own software stack (email/contacts/calendar etc) which syncs to the my outlook. The problem this creates is that my contacts do show up (the right softkey button leads to contacts which are the goodlink contact list) but are not connected to my dialer.
To be able to use smart dialling i then have to manually sync my phone to my computer to copy the contacts again which is a pain. My previous phone was based on windows 2003 whose dialler showed the goodlink contacts directly.
If there are any ideas or suggestions please let me know.

This is not what is supposed to happen. I use GL too. If you sync with Active synch eventually, you will end up with duplicate contacts. Sometimes it takes a bit of time for this to occur. This applies to GL 5. In 4.9, I had to do exactly as you are stating...synch only the contacts with active synch.
interestingly, I have a post regarding Good Mail. I found that using the XDA Live 3.0 (WM6.1) with the reTOUCHED dialpad, my contacts, while in the phone mode, linked to my Lotus notes contacts, not my local ones.
If I'm understanding you correctly, this is exactly what you want to happen (exactly the opposite of what I want to happen on mine).
I have 5.0.3.23 good mail with the above and it works the way you want yours...
Good luck,
MBN

With 5.0 the contacts are shared. If you sync with active sync, they will be duplicated because you are already syncing the mail server. GL 5 takes over much more of the system than past versions. I have found no way to change its behavior at all. If I make changes, it has protections in it that undoes the changes.
thanks for the help guys. I got on IT's case and changed my GL version to 5.0 and a hard reset and the installation of the retouched dialler everything is now working exactly the way i want it. Thanks guys!

Have you tried using Microsoft Voice command with Goodlink contacts? in my search for a solution i found a thread on another forum which said that voice commands/dialling wont work with goodlink contacts and we will have to sync them again. Im going to be trying it anyway but just wondering if somebody has already done the effort.
I can also vouch for that. I am the good admin at my org and the latest 5.0.4.46 works quite nice with outlook contacts and allows for smart dialing.

I use voice speed dial and it works with GL 5 owning the contacts without doing a sync via active sync. Haven't used MS VCMD so ymmv.

I just wish I could talk my IT guys into a longer wait period before locking the phone...30 minutes kind of sucks when using the GPS...in a car. Any ideas for hacks? I haven't found any.
I just installed emoze, which I finally managed to get working well, but it automatically configured itself to call the mailbox "emoze", and I would like to change this. I searched all over the registry, but was unable to find this.
Does anyone know where WM6.1 or TF3D store this information, so I can go in there and change it (the way emoze installs itself on the device you cannot go in and edit this setting via the WM interface).
Thanks!
Hi Diplomate,
emoze uses a special API to set the account name, changing it will result in emoze not functioning at all.
Gilirock.
I finally gave up on emoze!
In the end, I had to give up on emoze, as it has a couple of very annoying bugs:
First, any calendar event which recurs yearly gets added multiple times back into the Outliik calendar (using the PC client), but I was not able to figure out the logic there: some where added 5 times, other 12, others 13. None were touched/edited/open on either the device or Outlook, as they were set months in the future... a reat PITA to clean-up!
Second, emoze seems to ignore the "File As" field when importing contacts into the diamond, so all your contacts revert back to the default "lastname, firstname" display order, regardless of how you have them set in Outlook. As this sort order cannot be changed in TF3D, you are SOL!
Basically, a great idae/product if you could configure it to only take care of e-mail, and let ActiveSync take care of your calendar/contacts, etc. But this is not possible - apparently emoze wants to only do it all, so...
Too bad! I loved the push e-mail!
I'm running the latest raphael rom, but I've noticed this problem with all of the roms I've used for the windows PDA's. When I was using my cingular 3125 smartphone, i was able to click on the phone numbers in my calendar items and initiate a call directly from my calendar.
I was wondering if anyone has a solution for why the phone numbers listed in calendar items do not show up as shortcuts that will allow me pull the phone directly from the calendar.
thanks in advance!
Hi all
My g/f got the HD7 today and it's been fairly plain sailing so far. Couple of things have come up though, she got her contacts imported from her sim card without any problems but as soon as she linked her Hotmail account it imported those Contacts as well. Thing is she doesn't want the Hotmail contacts, so can we get rid of them without deleting the Hotmail connection.
We also couldn't find out how to set the snooze time for the alarm or set the alarm to be full volume as soon as it goes off.
Thanks for your help
you can't set the volume separately so the phone has to be left at full volume, and there aren't any snooze time settings as far as I've been able to see, the phones very beta maybe even alpha state atm
They can't really have released a phone in beta form can they? That would be a sure fire way to upset customers. Going back to the alarm, currently it starts low and raises the volume over time, we want it full volume straight of. Might try a third party alarm.
the software's stable but the feature set is really limited, patches are going to add features such as cut and paste and use your own ring tones, things that people have come to expect as standard, so though the software/hardware isn't really beta, the feature set is so lacking it's as if MS launched early and are waiting to hear the cries about what is missing to add them ala the cut and paste.
Any answer to the hotmail sync of contacts? Can we pick and choose which contacts to use or not use any or delete them after the sync?
I had to delete all of my contacts, didn't really bother me seeing as I don't use MSN nowerdays and my Windows Live ID is a @Gmail addy anyway so I don't and Can't use Hotmail.
@tboy2000
Hey, yes you can remove the hotmail contacts...
Go into "settings", "email & accounts" then select your hotmail account. from here you should have a "content to syncronsise" section. just remove the contacts from the list.

That cant be done if that account is being used as your primary live id though.
Indeed - it's not possible. The solutions are to merge hotmail accounts to normal sim accounts, if they match, or to delete your hotmail contacts completely.
Not ideal, but it's how it is.
