Notification will NOT go away! Ideas?

Well... the ROM upgrade went well - took just under 8 minutes and seems to have worked perfectly (great job!). So I started reloading all the stuff I had on the MDA before that.
At one point, SOMETHING must have conflicted or gotten messed up, because PocketBreeze seems to have simply disappeared off my machine, and the little notification message at the lower left of the Today screen (over the calendar button/text) will NOT go away. I can click it, and it blinks momentarily - but NOT message comes up, and "notification" remains.
With Wisbar Advance 2 running, I also see an exclamation "!" mark in the today screen title bar as well -- I can click that too, but it behaves the same way. NOTHING happens! I have soft reset several times. No change.
I uninstalled Contact Breeze and Pocket Breeze, and then manually went back in via Explorer and deleted the stuff that didn't uninstall properly. I used MemMaid to clean out bad links and registry keys. I soft reset several more times.
Still have the notification. There should be NO notifications -- and even if there were, I can't see them by clicking on the notification message.
Any ideas at all? Very frustrating... I have a nasty feeling I may have to wipe the machine and reload the firmware, starting from scratch again, if I can't figure this out.

Arggggh! Finally found it. I started uninstalling programs, one by one, soft resetting in between. Sadly, it was after removing about 5 or 6 benign programs (and all their settings!) that the next one fixed the notification problem. It was SBSH "iLauncher". I have NO idea what it was trying to tell me, but while it was installed, I had a "permanent notification", and as soon as I uninstalled it, the notification disappeared and I can see the "calendar" button once again on the today screen.
Now...because uninstalls in WM5 don't really seem to uninstall much of anything, I've been manually going in and cleaning out all references to the old programs, because it seems that most of these cannot be reinstalled OVER the remains of their last install.
*sigh*
Some more uninstalls tonight, then sleep. Then hopefully, clean installs in the morning.

Activesync bug

does anyone else have this problem?
acticesync keeps appearing in my task manager/running programs even when i havent attached to computer???
any advice?

Kill it! It's been doing that on all WM devices I know.

yes!!! ))
how can i kill the bugger?

Well, you can't kill it forever... After all you'll want to sync from time to time.
However, once you finished sync'ing, just kill the task from the task list (the little icon in the right upper corner of the screen).

yes i do this
but then it just appears randomly, even afer i kill it and even on days when i havent even used the computer??

I think you're right, ActiveSync is somehow alive
I, for one, chose simply to ignore it as a quirk of the operating system.

This has been a problem for years over several wm versions. If you don't use exchange server and want to get rid of it, you have to use something called the 'fake server trick'.

Hopefully it will still work on 6.1, you can try it.

Battery drain problem

Hey all,
On a couple occasions now, my Diamond (Telus CDMA) has refused to wake up from standby. After a soft reboot (by pressing the little button under the back cover) I can see that the battery has drained very quickly. The phone is also noticeably warmer than usual. Seems like it's getting stuck in some sort of processing loop and burning battery while it's at it.
Has anyone else experienced this problem, and does anyone know what's going on?
Thanks,
-Michael

the same thing has happened to me twice! phone was fully charged last night, woke up this morning and battery had drained completely and turned itself off.
any ideas?

Did you have bluetooth on and visible?

Not at the time.
I've since purchased some bluetooth headphones and now have BT enabled, but I've not had this problem in a while.

i had that happen to me once too, never again tho.

I have a setting, which I do not know the purpose of, but I unchecked it.
Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Today -> Items -> Time-Out of Today
(I have a dutch TD, so the translation may be not exactly correct).
Could it be that the TD is automatically reset by this setting?
Maybe it is also because ActiveSync became active and is draining the battery?
This is a tip from someone else:
DISABLE ACTIVESYNC NOTIFICATION
===============================
When I start up the Touch, ActiveSync is running. I stop it, but sooner or later it will show up in the Tasks running again.
I did the ActiveSync Fake server Trick(Fake IP, Set schedules to Manual, etc..), but that didn't help.
Here is the Fix:
In the windows/activesync directory there is a file called “CtrlLog” file, in the file I noticed that at certain times it would say “KeepAwake” so I knew there had to be something trying to keep ActiveSync running.
I download an app called “Task Manager by FdcSoft”, cool little app for Free, it showed me all the processes running in the background. The one that caught my eye is a process called “repllog.exe”, because it had an ActiveSync icon next to it.
So just messing around with “Task Manager” I went to “Notifications” and noticed there were three “repllog.exe” in the notifications list towards the bottom. After disabling and enabling “repllog.exe” one by one, I believe the one that is causing ActiveSync to keep restarting itself is the “repllog.exe” that has an Argument named AppRunAfterTimeChange(must scroll to the right to see it). So I disabled that particular “repllog.exe” and did a Soft Reset.
I no longer see ActiveSync in the Task Manager list unless I connect to the PC using a USB cable.

You could try asynckiller, this little cab does the same thing...

I used also asynckiller, but that did not work for me.
Still Async came sometimes active and asynckiller did not stop this one.
No I do not use asynckiller anymore, but disabled the one mentioned in my previous post and the problems have not appeared again.

how do i uninstall windows live?

I want to completely remove windows live 10 from my HTC touch. I installed it, and it keeps suddenly causing my device to restart while logging in. I then tried reinstalling Version 8, but it still does it... how do i completely remove windows live from my phone... so that i can just give it a clean install again.

If it's not in the ROM, you can remove it via start>settings>system>remove programs.

I did this, rebooted the device, and looked in the Programs menu only to still see "Windows Live" there. I click it, and it still doesn't work. It's the version 10 that's still there, yet not showing up in "remove programs"... Please HELP!

Oh thank you for starting me off with a good start, I did however manage to figure it out. What I did was I realized that version 10 was still there, So I installed it again, basically just to add uninstall support, uninstalled it (thinking i would then have it all gone) only to be shocked to see it's still there... out of striking curiosity I run the program one last time and it finally connects without problem.

Computer unusable when connected through activesync

For some reason when I have my computer connected through activsync I can not really use the computer. It keeps popping up the start bar and when I type anything the computer pauses and misses stuff that I'm typing. It is like it is constantly trying to refresh, but it syncs up fine...
Also, it removes me from windows that I'm in like the computer thinks I selected another window...
It just started happening recently and I don't think I changed anything (that I remember). I have already re-installed the ROM (the one listed in my sig) and did a hard-reset. It doesn't do it on my XP system, but it does it on my Vista system (again it just randomly started that)
Anybody have any ideas why that would happen?

You mean the computer does like if you hit alt-tab between windows every few seconds on its own? I've had that several times too, AFAIK it's Outlook (the PC one) screwing up. Closing and reopening it usually gets rid of the issue, which is indeed VERY annoying when you're trying to type something.

Awesome, it seems to have fixed the problem. Thank you.
