I'd love to be a part of this community, but where do I go for a good primer? You all are WAY over my head with all of the registry-hacking shenanigans, but I'm a quick study. I guess I could pore over the threads until my head explodes, but isn't their a more noob-friendly way of going about catching up?
In the meantime, perhaps someone could answer some ridiculously noobish questions:
1) I read a review scolding HTC for not including "Voice Command." What is voice command?
2) I don't see why my Tilt keeps trying to connect to Edge when I'm 3 feet from my WiFi router. Can't I make it try WiFi first?
3) I think I understand that I have Edge and the faster 3G will be in my area soon. So what is GPRS all about?
4) My OLD cell phone could at least tell me how many voice messages I had. This thing only gives me an icon that looks like film - it only tells me how many message I have when it gets a new one and "notifies" me. Any way to add the number? Along these same lines, if the iPhone can "itemize" voicemails and iPhones are sold through AT&T, isn't there a way to create a WM app that does the same thing?
5) I haven't yet hooked my phone up to my PC to sync, so why is it that when I drop down the task list "ActiveSync" has always automatically started itself again?
6) How does one access the registry editor? (Don't worry, I realize that with great power comes great responsibility...)
I have a ton more questions, but I'll bother you with them in waves, I guess.
Thanks
FYI - I'm using the AT&T Tilt and the only "custom" things I've installed are Windows Live, Live Search, and the HTC Home plugin. (All very cool!)
AGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! good lord read the wiki for Hermes cause most of the **** is the same and just about all of your questions have been answered in the forum!!!!
cheers
uh... thanks? Like I said, I wasn't sure where to start...

But seriously, it is always difficult to answer a post that has several questions in one and the posts in reply can end up jumbled and confused.
So, how to proceed:
Find the link on the brown bar above to the Wiki. (we do not yet have one for the Kaiser - but much of what is said for the Hermes also applies to the Kaiser)
http://www.fotosearch.com/comp/ISP/ISP113/ispc013011.jpgOn the main posts page you will find a "sticky" post called search XDA-Developers Using Google. You can type key words or phrases into this and search this site only. Many of your questions have been answered several times and you can expect most of your questions to be answered. For immediate convenience here is a link to the same post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314615
If you cannot find an answer, then post a new thread, but keep it specific to a single topic. e.g. Is there a way to make my screen flash like a Xmass tree on 25th December?
It is generally frowned on to adopt a style like:
Pllllllllllllllllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeese help me
OMG! i DON'T BELIEVE IT
A sense of humour is always OK (in my view) so long as it does not cross common sense boundaries.
Hope that helps some, initally anyway.

Not everyone is as discouraging at the first person to reply.
There are apps to download that can fix most of your questions.
I would do some searching on the forums then ask what you didn't find out. I also found out the hard way that if you ask a bunch of questions as once you get considered a noob. But if you ask just one question at a time you will get good anwsers.
I don't consider myself an expert but here is what I know(or think I know on some of your questions)
1 - Voice command is voice dialing
2 - when I am on wifi mine pops up everyonce in while too but it stays connected to wifi with no problems. I haven't address it, there may be a better solution but mine seems to work find so I never messed with it.
3 - I know based on the connection that edge and 3g both connect to the internet GPRS. There are program that allow you to force it to choose the higher one or nothing.
4 - If I click on the voicemail icon it tells me how many I have.
5 - It is always running to be prepared for when you do connect so you don't have to manually start it up. From what i can tell if uses very little resource running so it has never matter to me.
6 - There are program you download to edit the registry. I would suggest looking at the sticky for the kaiser. It is reg edit for dummies that runs on your phone making it very easy to change the settings. It includes everything I was looking at changing.
Don't take my answers as fact, i am sure i will be corrected on a few of them, just trying to help.
Well Drokkon, first off, welcome. I'm pretty new here myself I am tempted to answer all your questions (though one or two have me scratching my own head) but that way you won't learn to get around. I'm siding with what mikechannon said. The answers are here, and his post explains how to find 'em

3 - GPRS and EDGE use GSM, 3G uses UMTS. They do not all connect to 'the internet GPRS' or whatever you meant
6 - My sentiments exactly

1) I read a review scolding HTC for not including "Voice Command." What is voice command?
Voice command allows you to use your voice to command the phone. (Duh, I know). There are 2 different types now. One, you train with your own voice .. the other (Microsoft's) requires no training and can functionally do more. Voice command is included in some roms and from some carriers, Microsofts can be purchased.
2) I don't see why my Tilt keeps trying to connect to Edge when I'm 3 feet from my WiFi router. Can't I make it try WiFi first?
Maybe a dumb question but did you turn on WiFi? Start --> Programs --> Comm Manager
3) I think I understand that I have Edge and the faster 3G will be in my area soon. So what is GPRS all about?
From Wiki:
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a Mobile Data Service available to users of Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and IS-136mobile phones. GPRS data transfer is typically charged per megabyte of transferred data, while data communication via traditional circuit switching is billed per minute of connection time, independent of whether the user has actually transferred data or has been in an idle state. GPRS can be used for services such as Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) access, Short Message Service (SMS), Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), and for Internet communication services such as email and World Wide Web access.

4) My OLD cell phone could at least tell me how many voice messages I had. This thing only gives me an icon that looks like film - it only tells me how many message I have when it gets a new one and "notifies" me. Any way to add the number? Along these same lines, if the iPhone can "itemize" voicemails and iPhones are sold through AT&T, isn't there a way to create a WM app that does the same thing?
There are several app out there that do that. Some free some pay. Look for Pocket Phone Zen or PhoneAlarm. You may also want to click on the icon as mentioned
5) I haven't yet hooked my phone up to my PC to sync, so why is it that when I drop down the task list "ActiveSync" has always automatically started itself again?
ActiveSync is always running (checking) for a connection. You can pretty much consider it part of the OS .. you know .. a "feature"
6) How does one access the registry editor? (Don't worry, I realize that with great power comes great responsibility...)
You will need a registry editor.
PHM Registry Editor or Total Commander (for PPC) are two free choices. Total commander is also a very good file manager.
** Keep in mind, you screw up the registry ... you will be hard reseting (formating and starting from scratch) **

2) In regards to the WiFi vs. Edge, I guess I'm just annoyed because I AM connected to WiFi and yet it keeps going for Edge. I figured out that under Settings -> Connections -> Connections -> Advanced -> Select Networks, you can choose whether programs use MEdia Net, AT&T ISP, My Work, and My ISP. First of all, this is tedious; secondly it's confusing - I assume it has to do with that confusing question that the WiFi connection asked me: "Is this connection to a) your work network or b) the internet." HUH? I'm sure I'll figure it out.
4) Furthermore, I can't click my voicemail icon. Wonder why not?

Glad I'm not the only one! I've been lurking for about a month, waiting for the Tilt to come out. I was active over at HowardForums and AT&T forums, but once I had the thing in my hot little hands last Thursday, I figured it was time to jump ship and learn how to customize this thing to my heart's content. As you said, however, the board moves fast and I couldn't find a board for beginners or even a sticky for beginners, so I thought I'd ask.

MS outlook CONTACTS & syncing problems to iphone
At first I was unaware Outlook had disabled "Outlook iTunes Sync Addin" - also known as the file "OutlookSyncClient.dll". Luckily, I came across this thread. Sure enough, under "Tools > Options > Other > Advanced Options > COM Add-Ins" there were two Apple plug-ins: "iTunes Outlook Addin" was checkmarked but "Outlook iTunes Sync Addin" was not. No matter what I did,I could not get this plug-in to stay checkmarked.
I went to "Help > About Microsoft Outlook > Disabled Items" and found "Outlook iTunes Sync Addin" had been DISABLED by Outlook. When I re-activated it, Outlook CRASHED, prompting me to disable the plug-in in order for Outlook to operate correctly. Obviously something was very wrong, here.
After reading other's comments and suggestions on this thread, my solution was to save an export of my data to another ".pst" data file. I first copied my original file ("Outlook.pst" located in "C: Documents and Settings/(user)/Local Settings/Application Data/Microsoft/Outlook") into a new folder I called "BACKUP" just in case something went wrong. Then I made a new folder called "EXPORT".
I then exported my data by way of "File > Import and Export > Export to a file > Personal Folder File (.pst)". Making sure to save it off to my "EXPORT" folder, I named it "Outlook.pst" -- just like the original.
Now the big moment: I SHUT DOWN Outlook and copied the exported file in "EXPORT" to the same folder as the original - replacing the original file. Open Outlook and all my contact and calendar data came up fine. Time to RE-ACTIVATE "Outlook iTunes Sync Addin" by way of "Help > About Microsoft Outlook" in the menu and clicking on the "Disabled Items" button. When I did, Outlook didn't crash! Everything seems to load fine now.
Time to Load up iTunes, plug in my iPhone, and the sync my calendar. iTunes Sync works flawlessly! All my Outlook calendar info is now on my iPhone and I'm good-to go. I've tried this several times and the issue seems to be completely resolved. Thanks guys for all of your advice! Hopefully this thread will help others out as well.
---------------------------------------
Many are looking the step like in MSactivesync to sync their outlook contacts into their Iphone. I will post different ways that became successful for some iphone users.
------------------------------
Outlook 2003
1.) Within outlook, click help>check for updates
After you ensure you have the latest updates, try and and sync again. If this doesn't work, go to step 2.
2.) Within outlook, click help>detect and repair
**Note, make sure you have backed up all your contacts and calender.
Once this is complete, ur contacts is on ur iphone already
(not all are succesfull on this way)
----------------------------------
or TRY THIS (BETTER WAY)
Once Outlook 2003 has disabled the Apple Sync Add In:
Click on HELP, select Disable Items, select the Apple Sync Add In and click ENABLE.
Next click on TOOLS, OPTIONS and select the OTHER tab, click on ADVANCED OPTIONS, click on COM Add-Ins…deselect both Apple Add-Ins, click OK.
CLOSE Outlook.
Connect iPhone.
Once iPhone is connected to iTunes, select the iPhone and launch Outlook.
Next click on TOOLS, OPTIONS and select the OTHER tab, click on ADVANCED OPTIONS, click on COM Add-Ins…Select both Apple Add-Ins, click OK.
Return to iTunes and click SYNC.
Once iPhone SYNC is complete, return to Outlook and deselect both Apple Add-Ins until the next time.
--------------------------------------
Simple WAY:
Go to Outlook. On menu, go to Tools/Options. Pick the Other tab, then Advanced Options. Look for COM Add-Ins and select the two Itunes choices.
----------------------------------
Other way to sync Contacts:
Sign up for a yahoo account and once there input all of your outlook contacts into Yahoo contacts. When synching the iPhone choose Yahoo as the contact source. You will be prompted for your yahoo id and password.
-----------------------------------
Better to have an OLD VERSION OF ITUNES if you have UNLOCKED IPHONE 1.0.2 this will help to solve problems of SYNCING

Well since the title says about iphone - problems and solutions, it means that we can discuss about the problems right?
Hmm, let me start with the phone itself. Of course people already know about lots of problems with the hardware (no button, no physical keyboard, no 3g, no video call cam, no change battery, no expendable memories), the software (not compatible with java, flash, have to use itunes) and the attitude of apple (asia release in 2008 - what the hell with that? they think that asia is not advance enough in mobile phone industries that they have to sell a device that is technologically 2 years behind now to an area that is at least 5-years ahead of in the mobile business?sell it with initially $600 and later dropped the price nearly $200?). Well there are lots more about the problems recently (bricking all the phones that uses third party app) therefore it is not worth to mentioned them here because peopledevelopers here can't help with these problems too.
Solutions: I am well aware that this is off topic forum, but iphone is not meant to be discussed in a forum that is dedicated for smartphones and just wait until all the feature that can enable it to be called as smartphone or get one of the smartphone and happily discussed about it here.
for about 2 year prior to iphone release almost everybody was going nuts how to copy the iphone looks and maybe the feel including me on my old ipaq,8125,8525,Kaiser..ect...now....when its here you all cry about it.well offcourse pocketpc can do much more.but. this is not the idea .this another phone "smart phone" and thats how we need to treat it. forget all the ego stuff for a moment .apple its better then PC fact. no one say anything about it and i dont care. whats important now its that people with iphone all use to have pocketpc and love to share there problem in this furom and now with the iphone they/ I all want to keep share and exchange problem and soultions..so seat back relax enjoy and maybe help if you can ...its all good.
WHAT HAPPEN NOW ON MY REQUEST? nothing :-( tsk tsk.. seems THIS IS THE ONLY IPHONE THREAD THAT MOVED TO OFF TOPIC...there is a lot there in GENERAL THREAD.
Im not comfortable with some people here NOW

Sir,
The thread you pointed to in the below quote is not an iPhone thread. It is in fact about how to accomplish the iPhone look & feel (somewhat) on a Windows Mobile Device.
The iPhone isn't even a Windows Mobile device therefore this thread does belong in the Off-Topic Section.
Also before you bash a Moderator for moving your thread think about it. As Mods we do not work alone. Moves, Bans and Thread Closures are discussed with the other Mods and even the Site Admin. Your thread is no different and the Mods seem to agree that Since the iPhone in not only a non-HTC device but also of a differing OS (Apple OS X) it is indeed off-topic. Remember this site is dedicated to HTC WM Devices to technically everything else is off-topic.
I will point-out that the alternative would have been to delete the thread entirely but you were shown the respect of preserving your thread by having it moved to the appropriate forum. This is more respect than you have shown the XDA-Devs community in general with your little statement in the OP, "so dont question me". Nobody here is beyond reproach, even the Mods have to answer to the community as a whole.

I got your point. I understand and i still respect it. But you did not answer the other issue why other iphone related topic is on that forum and only this thread was move to this off topic forum. Anyway, i dont want to make this issue long and i hope with this "little statement", you dont feel bad . Mr TAURUSBULLBA give me a message privately and explain more details now. So its fine. He told me that he will update me about the decision. So ill just keep quiet for a while on this thread until everything becomes clear. Thanks for giving attention on this matter. Cheers!

I thought I was pretty clear on that but I'll repeat myself.
The thread you pointed to is not about the iPhone. It is about how to make a Windows Mobile Device Look & Feel similiar to iPhone. Thus it is a Windows Mobile issue (relating to installing themes/skins and software ON A WINDOWS MOBILE DEVICE).
If you PM any of the Moderators with threads that are specifically about the iPhone (Hardware or Software) then they will also be moved. THis does not include threads which offer a comparison between iPhone & Windows Mobile Devices as they are relevant and on-topic to General Windows Mobile Discussion.
So in review:
Making your Windows Mobile Device look like iPhone is WM related topic.
Comparison of iPhone & Windows Moble Devices is WM related topic.
iPhone specific topics such as how to do this or that to your iPhone is now WM related.
I seriously don't know how I can be clearer on that.
One more note: Posting a Private Message that you sent or received without at least notifying (really you should ask permission except in certian extreme cases) is really tacky. It is intended to be a PRIVATE communication as the name implies.
Keep the thread alive!
Hi Guys,
I have just got an iphone after having used smartphones and pocket pc's for the last 2-3 years.
I still own a HTC Trinity and love its versatility and the GPS chip capabilities with TomTom etc... but I really like the iphone's style and ease of use. There is no fiddly slide out keyboard to try and text with, instead the text is easily added by fingertip touch on a very sensitive touch screen. The screen is very large and very clear at 480 x 320 and it is also a very thin device and nice to look at.
I would really like to be able to add 3rd party software and applications to it but I am waiting until the 'iBrickr' software is developed to enable this for the 1.1.1 firmware version of iphones. The 1.0.2 version is already unlocked and working well I hear.
So it is important to keep this thread running to hear from other iphone users and their experiences etc...
Cheers!
Update: I'm holding off on updating the Tilt wiki for a while, because these seem to be issues rather than things we can really sort and alphabetize at this current time (and I suck at coding/formatting, period).

Well, you can flash your Tilt with an HTC ROM which will fix it instantly, or try to read through this (reading = pain in the ass) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334759&highlight=ptt+button
How do I SIM (subsidy) unlock my Tilt?
Assuming the phone was obtained though ATT legitimately (i.e. you have a contract with ATT): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335392&highlight=sim+unlock (if you’re a long-time ATT customer this is Guaranteed to work)
Assuming you stole/bought the Tilt on eBay: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314547&highlight=sim+unlock (thanks tupisdin for doing this)
How do I get all the crap (bloatware) off my Tilt without flashing it?
Soft-reset (take the battery out) upon initial configuration (the part when is says “Windows will begin customization in x seconds”). If you’re past this point, do a hard reset (press both soft-keys at the same time and simultaneously insert your stylus into the bottom reset hole), and then do the soft reset thing upon configuration.
Where do I get the ATT/Cingular cabs for my Tilt so I can load tons of bloatware on my speedy HTC ROM?

Why won’t TomTom Navigator 6 (that I got off of forums/internet) not work on my Tilt?
Because it was made for the Kaiser ROM as a “taster version”…If you want it, buy it…support good products.
Update: The mods ruling on this is that any other version than the TomTom "Taster" version that came with the HTC ROM is considered Warez, so please don't post. This also goes for where to obtain TomTom maps (without buying them), etc.
Do I need a tethering plan with AT&T to tether my Tilt with my laptop?

I flashed my Tilt with an HTC ROM and now it freezes up a lot, how can I fix this?
You need to do a Clear Storage. Known issues causing freeze-ups at this time include have PIE save your temp cache to storage card, using some versions of the HTCHome plugin, and older versions of BlackBerry Connect. Issues outlined here:

Update: How do I make my Tilt look like an iPhone?
Find the closest building that is three or more stories tall, get to the roof, and jump off.
-that would make sense if most new users in the forum actually read the wiki, which they usually dont...also, the Tilt is going to be the most popular variand of the tytn II for a while, thats just a fact of life because of the amazingly low price you can get it from with AT&T.
I think everyone's made there point, so whether there is a sticky or not, it doesn't make any differences, for all the forums that I been in, I have noticed that new members never follows the rules, they will just post everywhere, they cannot be bothered to search first.
the way I see it, just have a mod to delete all duplicate thread or members asking for the same thing, that has been posted before.
it's the only way to get rid of all the excess thread.

Thread stuck.
There IS an over-abundance of stickied threads at the top of the Kaiser forum at the moment. However, because the Kaiser (and all variants) are so new, there will be MANY new users with many repeated questions. So a temporary solution is to sticky threads with the most important/commonly asked issues and questions.
In the near future, all this information should be migrated over to the WIKI with a single sticky directing everyone there.
So guys and gals, get those dictionaries and thesauruses out and make the WIKI nice. It should, after all, be a group resource and effort.
Redundant Questions
The reason you have so many redundant questions is that the Tilt was just released into the largest consumer population in America, Caaaleefornia as Schwartzenager says it. Unfortunately, all these Left Coasters that always have to have the latest & greatest gadgets don't know the difference between a MSM7200 & a BMW 750.
Having said that, now I need to ask a ??? I have tried everything but can dump the time & battery icon off the title bar without alignment problems. Anybody find a key yet? Are we stuck creating new icon templates in black to save us from the alignment issue? Or has someone found a key to compensate the alingment loss from removing both time & battery status icons?

haha true, i guess that is the paradox we are faced with...also I'd like to thank whoever the mod was that got rid of all the threadcrapping, it was definitely needed.
We've always accepted that we walk a fine line on the ROMs.
Technically when you purchase a WM5/6 device you have purchased that OS. We are able to Mod our desktop OS to extremities that PPC OS will probably never see. Cooked Roms are the answer. We do draw the line at ROMs that include WAREZ.
Now if you could come up with a way to have two OSes installed on your PPC at the sam time then this gray area would be decidedly more black.
BTW, you're welcome on the clean-up let's try to keep it looking good in here.

Fine, if the touchflo settings arent there then I dont know what to say, other then I am done dealing with ATT ROM Problems, not because I can't answer them, but because of the majority of people that stick with the AT&T ROMs. I am not going through the somewhat lengthy process of reflashing an AT&T ROM onto my Tilt so I can go into the settings and find the entry to change for the clicking sound TouchFlo makes...if anyone has this knowledge (although I doubt they would because they probably also would not still be using the AT&T ROM) please feel free to contribute the fix.
AT&T are the crappiest ROMs, and the people that seem to stay with them and have questions about them are almost always newbies that dont want to take the time to learn about flashing their phone (which is basically what the whole purpose of this forum is - improving your phone's current OS by flashing it with a newer, better one, which 99.9% of the time NEVER includes an AT&T ROM). Sorry to sound rude to those of you I've rubbed the wrong way but the majority of those people whom I have are AT&T users new to the forum who dont want to take the time to read.
For those who are in the 1% that dont flash because they are afraid of bricking and/or voiding their AT&T warranty, sirsycho has a whole thread devoted to getting it back to the AT&T ROM so you wont lose your warranty (it's stickied).

How about pulling this thread into the wiki? I think this would be much handier...
Maybe it would be good to include this option ("wiki") in such a poll too (instead of that biased 2 answer-possibilities).
Trying out the new Tilt with BlackBerry Connect. BBC is working great but when the security policy was loaded and the password enabled the password screen comes up with a dimmed backlite making it impossible to see in sunlight and nearly impossible to see in doors. Any one else have this problem found a way to fix?
The Tilt has built in GPS and I have gotten it to work with both Google Maps and MS Live Search. I have noticed that MS maps do not show some on and off ramps. Google seems to show them all but is much slower at updating the maps as they scroll. The problem is that when in map mode BBC times out and puts up the password screen. Is this an unfortunate feature of BBC and its security settings? Has anyone experienced and figured a way to fix?
I think the Tilt has all the features I was looking for in one device but it isn't quite perfect yet. I'm also converting from Verizon to AT&T and have found phone coverage to be spotty but in certain towns in my area, they are 3G enabled and Verizon does not have high speed network connectively in the same area.
I am trying to replace my BB 7130e phone and corporate email and HP rx5915 PDA for GPS and MP3 player. So far the Tilt is real close.
Thanks for any help.

Or just say nothing at all
Hi Everyone,
I must start by saying I'm new to installing software on my phone, I used to add and remove things all the time with my PDAs but have never really seen the advantage of doing so on my phone but now battery life is decent and the Internet is cheap and fast I'm really interested in doing lots more with my Varrio III.
So, for the record, I have a new MDA Vario III from T-Mobile in the UK with 'unlimited' data. Here are some things I'd like to do with my phone. I'm not too sure what I *can* and *can't* do.
1) Record Phone calls.
For work I would really like to be able to record both ends of a phone-call and store that recording on the phones memory card and/or internal memory. Is this possible?
2) Copy SMS Messages to Exchange Server
I'd like my phone to automatically sent my SMS messages to my email so I can access (view) them in Outlook, Outlook Web Access etc.
3) SMS Rules
I see I can make sub-folders under the SMS Inbox. Could I set up a rule so messages from certain senders is sent to a sub-folder. For example messages from my bank to one folder and delivery status notifications to another?
4) Data Radio Control
Most of the time there is no reason my phone needs to connect to anything faster than GPRS. Is there a tool that would let me turn off the 3G and HSPDA radios as I feel like it. While HSDPA is quick it seems to EAT battery!
5) Data Timer
Simple one here, I'm looking for a really light weight tool to add up 'bandwidth' I'm using. Just something like, ' Since you last reset the stats, you have used (transferred) 25MB of data'.
6) No signal notification.
I'd love for my phone to vibrate or play a sound when I lose cellular reception and when I find it again. And just for fun a different alert when I change cellular cells.
GPS IDEAS/QUESTIONS
7) GPS Tracking and updating to web server
Ok, I've been playing with TrackMe and it is exactly what I've been looking for. But uploading every few minutes seems to use a boat load of battery. I'm looking for your opinion on the optimum settings for TrackMe so I'm not using so much battery. For the record, I'm mostly walking so I'm not covering huge distances very quickly.
8) GPS based SMS sending.
Say I arrive at a train station, I'd love my phone to remind me to text the office and tell them I'm about to get on a train. Now, say I come within 5km of a location, I'd love my phone to text a predefined group of people with a message like, 'Hey, I'm currently in Glasgow, fancy a coffee?' or something like that. Any ideas?
QR Codes
9)I have a 2D barcode reader application and I would like ideas how I could use QR codes etc. What is everyone using them for, also is there an application that would read bar codes using the phones camera?
So those are my 9 requests. I've done a little googling but I'm really not sure what applications to look for and once I find applications if they are any good. Looking for your advice and recommendations
Thanks in advance,
ross(cbrown)
Sounds like most of what you want it out there. I know there was a thread about a week ago in the software section in regards to recording phone calls. There is a thread here about tracking gps, another about messing with your data (kaiser tweak) etc etc. just search around.

Some random thoughts:
1. GPS is known to eat batterys for lunch. Whenever I have TomTom on I am in the car and it is on the car charger. To leave your GPS on all the time so that you can get what you are wanting with (tell me when I get close to something) is going to cost you in battery life. BUT - TomTom has the ability to warn you when you get near a dunkin donuts or starbucks - etc. All you need to do is put in TomTom the places where you want "warnings" and you should be able to have it tell you that you are near- now I am NOT smart enough to tell you how to make it send a message - not really sure that after thinking about it you would WANT an auto message - say you got into town late and had to leave early in the morning and it sent an auto message to meet you at the pub to your friends and they went and waited for you?
2. no signal notification - I get this in my bluetooth headset - it is really helpful when I am driving - there are places where i am not "covered" with signal that I never realized. Try getting a BT headset and you will see what I mean - not really sure that you want an audible on that though that everyone can hear do you? It would get OBNOXIOUS in meetings or inside buildings - enough so that you would have to turn off your phone.
3. recording phone calls - I have not seen anywhere that this is possible - you are able to record one side of the conversaiont but I am not aware of any software that will let you record BOTH sides - be aware that there may be legal issues on this depending on your country.
This may be a great place to start: http://www.pocketpcmag.com/cms/index.php?q=blogs/3/513
4. Data rate on radio control - there are some out there - you can use Kaiser Tweak I believe to limit this - however - if you get the right ROM (see my signature for mine) you can get great battery life and NOT have to tweak this item.
5. Bar code reader - yes - I actually saw on a thread somewhere that someone had done this - taken a picture of a bar code and then read it - seems awfully long winded way around the barn though - you probably ought to get a device that has a scanner on it if you are going to read a lot of bar codes - the camera on the Tilt is a little slow and then to run a program that "reads" the picture interpret it and return a value and then plug that value in to another program - you could have typed in the bar code easier. Factor in bad reads and having to take the picture again and you are going to get frustrated way sooner than satisfied.
This MAY be the place to start: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1964222
The other things in your post I will have to leave to smarter people.

Hey, before you start reading my oncoming wall of text, please read this: THIS IS NOT ABOUT EVERY THIRD SMS DISAPPEARING.
With that out of the way, I'll post my problem. See, I really love TouchFlo and it makes me wanting to use my phone more, so it's great to see so many roms incorporating this. itje's roms are praised all over the Xperia part of the forums and I like his roms as much as they do - there's just one problem. You know the sms program cooked into itje's TouchIT roms? The one with a seperate "Send" button and a black framed text entry box? Well, this text entry box won't stay on the button, right over the Windows Mobile softkeys, like it should. Instead, it floats about half an inch up from there, overlapping about 3 of the latest text messages in the conversation. This is really annoying, and makes me stick with the stock rom.
I noticed that somewhere in the TouchIT-threads someone also had this problem, and tried to solve it. After much searching I still can't find it, and belive me - I've searched like a freakin' narcotics dog.
My question is: Is there a way to delete this program and map the sms tab to open Windows Mobile sms? Or possibly a fix?
It's a shame some of us with this bug (I assume I'm not the only one) aren't able to enjoy all the great TouchFlo roms here because of this bug when maybe there's an easy fix. Since all the threads I've started before this one has been ignored, I hope this problem will get some attention anyways. I'm happy to test possible fixes, I'm used to re-flashing my X1 once a day. I don't think I'll come up with a fix myself since I don't have the knowledge of WinMo (yet!).
Regards

yeah, i have the same prob. i actually like windows sms better, when u go threw MESSAGES > ALL MESSAGES > anyone.

HOW MANY TIMES DOES IT NEED TO BE REPEATED
if it was any lower it would conflict with the slide out tab in landscape the one that has the icons.
this is not a bug, it looks like it's how HTC designed it..
I've answered this before (as have other people) did it really need another new thread?
If you really believe this is just a part of Itjes roms then search the forum, loads of people on different devices have exactly the same thing..
go get a blackboard and repeat after me..
It's not a bug
100000 times...
then when you've finished you might actually bother pressing Allmessages instead of Startnew thread on the forum..

Hmm, I really tried to find a solution (or in this case, answer) but so what? This thread dies out soon, and a mod is free to delete it if it's in the way of more important stuff. Sheesh, it's like everyone on the internet is obliged to have their period when a question instead of an answer comes up. This is merely a bug report and you should treat it that way I think - as something constructive. Since you answered it so many times, why not decide NOT to answer it or answer it in a nice way? Either is fine with me but thanks for telling me it's not a bug.
This leads me to my next question, thus not making this thread obsolete and reeking of flame war stench - Is there a way to map the sms text to opening the message in WinMo sms? This is not necessary, of course, but to overpass the TouchFlo sms althrouh would be great.
oh come on, fards - you'd REALLY miss the opportunity for these little rants if these postings would stop alltogether tomorrow...
some people should read up the difference between show-stopper, bug and design-flaw though... (not sure if even the last one is right for this issue, what's the alternative?!)

Download mode9 editor, cruise the lua files until you find the one responsible for the messaging app, learn how to prgram lua and then code it to call tmail.exe instead of the HTC solution. Simple.
Or you could try cooking a ROM without the HTC message enhancements package?

Thanks for this answer, I've tried to cook my own rom but it came out rather buggy so I'll go with other roms while I'm learning.
Rather than being silly, you could A) search B) search C) press the allmessages which brings up the Winmo SMS app.
I even said it up the top (as I have before over and over again).
If there was a "fix" don't you think it would have been announced by now, or included in the roms?
May I offer a forth suggestion?
Try SSMaHo?
I have a bit of simpathy here, this 'feature' is rather unhelpful, but not as bad IMHO as the one that seems to lose my response mid type when I click somewhere wrongly (I honestly can't remember what) so I have to start again.
