WebIS PocketInformant - Fullscreen trouble - Support Genius at work - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hey guys, just wanted to share my WebIS support experience with you
I bought WebIS PocketInformant some time ago, and now installed it on my Diamond. When you switch the software to full screen, the menu is gone, and its impossible to get it back even after a restart, or soft-reset.
I go on the web and search, check the manual, their support site and FAQ, but cannot find anything. The only things I found is that some of the buttons should switch it off, and a restart of the software, which is not the case on the diamond.
So since I was not able to switch off the full screen I send a support request to WebIS:
WM Hardware: HTC Diamond - WM6Professional
Desktop OS: Windows XP
Version: Pocket informant 8.02
Synch Software: ActiveSync 4.5
Issue:
Hi,
I am unable to turn off Full-screen mode in PI 8.02
None of the buttons in the front work (home, ok, red/green phone, 4 irections, OK)
Restarting (reset) of the device does not work either...

They answered quite quickly:
Greetings and thank you for contacting us.
This is actually a common question and as such we have created a knowledgebase article that goes into greater detail for your benefit.
Here is the knowledgebase link:

Please let us know if that does not resolve the issue.
We appreciate having the opportunity to help and service you. Please let us know if there is anything more we can do.

Strange. I thought I checked that one. I am going back there, and filter the search for PocketInformant and windows Mobile, and not one single question/Answer regarding the "Full Screen" mode.
So I write back:
Hi,
I have searched the knowledge base several times already before sending you this email but could not find any answer there.
I searched there for "screen" (13 answers, all something else) and browsed all the 40 Pocket informant Windows Mobil questions, but no help either.
Please be so kind to point me to the correct KB entry instead of the main page or simply tell me how to fix this via email.

And they reply, one day later:
Greetings and thank you for contacting us.
You've either hidden the tabs, or the left soft key assignment needs to be changed, FYI.
We appreciate having the opportunity to help and service you. Please let us know if there is anything more we can do.

Ok, let's see.... I do not have that software button however. and I did not hide the tabs, I just clicked on "Full screen" in the menu. And where is that FAQ entry now?
So I write back:
Dear Customer service,
thank you for that information. It does not help me to fix the problem though.
How do I unhide the "tabs"?
The device does not have a left soft key.
http://www.htc.com/www/product.aspx?id=46278
Can you please show me a way how to fix this, such as a registry entry or maybe reinstalling the software?
I still could not find you FAQ entry. Does it exist??
thanks

This time, the answer takes two days to reach me:
Greetings and thank you for contacting us.
Did you try changing the left soft key assignment? That is the FAQ you need, FYI.
We appreciate having the opportunity to help and service you. Please let us know if there is anything more we can do.

So I go to the advanced search and filter for Pocket Informant, windows Mobile and search for "Soft key" - nothing.
I write back:
Did you read my last email?
I assume that with soft keys you talk about a blank hardware button that has its function assigned by the software?
My device does not have soft keys!
http://www.htc.com/www/product.aspx?id=46278
The device only has a home, return/exit , call, hang up and direction/OK keys.
Also, your FAQ does not say HOW to change that key in case it exists. You also do not mention which registry editor to use.
It does not mention the full screen issue in one word either, how is one supposed to find it?
This is one of the worst support cases I ever had.

Now, I get the following answer:
Greetings and thank you for contacting us.
Thanks for your email. Your question is best found in the product documentation that was installed with the software or found on our download site in PDF form.

Thank you.
We appreciate having the opportunity to help and service you. Please let us know if there is anything more we can do.

How is that supposed to help? Isn't that what I was asking for since the beginning? that they help me with the problem?
By now I did a hard reset and reinstalled the software.
Of course, I am not touching the full screen button again. And I am not contacting their support again for troubles either.
Clearly, the Diamond has a disadvantage in applications that rely on the soft buttons to work. There should be a tool to simulate the buttons with the volume buttons or else to fix that.

I've just had a look on their forum and this seems similar to your problem (and they recommend a reg edit solution)
see post 2 http://www.pocketinformant.com/Forums/index.php?showtopic=12917
Hope this works for you

thanks for the help and pointing this out to me.

Maybe you could post back here if the reg edit works? It might help someone else with the same problem or considering whether to buy the application.

well... I fixed it before with a hard-reset and currently I do not plan to use the full screen anymore since only regedit can undo it, and thats simply too complicated. If I try it and it does not work, I have to hard-reset the device again.
But the thread you have from the WebIS the person had it fixed through it, so I assume it should work

I had this issue on my Touch Dual, using a hardware button (like camera) takes it out of fullscreen mode...
Their support was pretty useless for me also, I found the answer on another forum...

A solution for the Diamond is to assign your Send key (Button 1(hold)) as <Left Softkey>.

Yeah, our support guy has been a bit flaky lately. Honestly I think he just got tired of things after seven years. Must be why he resigned at the end of July. I'm sorry that that happened - though. Unfortunately it doesn't make real-world sense to use other buttons like volume control to get out of full screen mode. The Diamond is just not a good full screen mode device without some sort of gestures or other method to get out of it.
I'll definitely be looking for a way to add a button or something as a way to get out of full screen.

Reg edit
The regedit works on the Diamond.
I've exported the PI-registry, edited the "FullScreen"=dword:00000001
into "FullScreen"=dword:00000000
and imported the registry ==> problem solved

Enter if you dare...(Questions from a new user)

Phone = AT&T Tilt.
I found out about this site from Mobilitytoday this morning and have literally sat here all day playing with the incredible, free and wickedly cool things these people are nice enough to share.
I installed the "Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.720719.Schaps.Color" and cannot figure a few things out:
1. The brightness fix doesn't work. I get, "Access denied..." when copying the "HTCUti1.dll" file to the WINDOWS dir.
2. Is there a better battery indicator than "powertray_489"? I was looking for something that came with the new home screen but couldn't find it.
3. I have the "Kaiser Comm Manager(10 Buttons)" comm. manager installed but the WLAN button doesn't work. It just won't turn on. I tried installing the other comm. managers but they wouldn't install.
4. Is there a way to change from Celsius to Fahrenheitfor the weather portion of the application?
5. When I slide my screen into landscape mode, there is no scroll available at the bottom to see the other items. When it is in vertical mode, the scroll is there. Odd because when I installed the “Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.720719.cab” (black and white version) the scroll was there?!
So there they are. This site is awesome and I’m addicted to it already! Any help would be deeply appreciated!
Here is a big hint for you start reading and use the search button! No one will spoon feed you here all your problems have been talked about a few times so they should be easy to find
However much I would like to help, austinsnyc already said what can not be disputed. Read, read, read... when you are finished, read some more.
Do not concentrate on just the Keiser area, read ALL threads. OS isn't phone specific all the time. A fix or tweak for one phone is good for alot of phones.
I'll give you one answer though...(the easy one of course)
When you choosed your city in the weather app, click menu options and there is a box to check for Farenheit.
Good luck
being a new user myself, i can say that the search function isn't very helpful. however, there is an option in the HTC Home plugin options under weather, where you enter your city, to change it to Fahrenheit. also, to fix the CommMgr there is a registry edit you have to do, you change whatever it says to like WLAN1 or something.
Did you try the search XDA using Google sticky post?
For conveniance here's a link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314616
Also this is not really what we think of as upgrading so I'm moving it to the Kaiser section.

HELP..Soft keyboard List Takes 10sec to Appear..HELP

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?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342727&highlight=keyboard+list
EDIT: Dude! This is the 3rd time you opened a thread and asked the same question!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342320&highlight=keyboard+list
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…

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

Comm Mgr Customizing

Is there a way to customize comm manager (change from 6 button to 10 or change the buttons--replace data connection with 3G) other than using Advanced Config. I can do it through Advanced Config but wondered whether there was another way to do it on the fly that I am missing. Thx.
Did you try looking into the stickied thread at the top of the forum that has all the cab files??
There's a 10 buttom comm manager right there.
I know. I am looking for a utility that switches from the 10 to the 6 or changes the order of the buttons on the 10 or 6. Maybe I am not explaining it well enough ....
Why would you want to change between the two? The 10 button has it all, including disabling data connection and 3G?
Aesthetics. The 6 button on/off looks good with certain themes/roms. Not a huge issue. I guess not a big demand for it.
If you use Kaiser Tweak you can customize the Comm Manager (doesn't change from 6 to 10 buttons or vice versa) but you can re-order the buttons. Give it a shot.
Got it. Thanks.
... Is there anyone that found a way to make the 10-buttons CommManager "dpad-friendly" ?
It's so annoying : you can navigate the homepage of your PDA with the dpad, and then start the commmanager... and there : you're stuck !
Have to touch the screen to choose any of the items (wireless, data, bluetooth...)

Yeah, because it's SUCH a pain to point your finger at the screen and push.
Wow, it's amazing the things people complain about.
If I took your logic, I would ask why Kaiser has a hard-keyboard ? It's so easy for ppl to press the screen
...
I have the aluminum case, and the screen is behind a hardglass !
So you can give a try if you want... but I'd bet your won't even bend the glass.
You didn't say you had a hard case, did ya? I don't have one and I don't know anyone that does. Everyone I know uses the stylus on the screen, just like it's supposed to be used.
Just use AEB to assign a hardkey, I use the windoz logo key, double press toggles BT power, tripple toggles WiFi. You get the picture.
I'll give a try to AEB (my Win button is already reassigned, same for the camera button which triggers the CommMgr...)

Like I said, why would people buy a phone with real keyboard, as there's already onscreen keyboard... That's exactly same scenario.
My question was not about "how could I reeducate myself", but how to turn this smartphone into something even smarter...
Even the ComMgr on the HTC Tornado can be manager from the joystick... (running WM5)
So it's a shame if HTC did remove this so simple thing as focus-ordered buttons...

You bought it, didn't you? Why did you buy it? I'll tell you why - it's one thing to have an on screen keyboard, it's a totally different thing to have a real, tactile keyboard with real keys to give your fingers feedback. You're comparing apples and oranges. Your logic doesn't fly with me, sorry. You can't touch-type with an on screen keyboard (i.e. type by feel).

LOL. Thanks for the laugh. You made my night.
The OP had a question, and I answered it. If it's not what he was looking for, then he should learn how to phrase his questions in a better way.
I don't apologize for my wording. I am short and to the point.
Lastly, some people will complain about anything and everything. You can't help that or change that.
Ok fine, so you're apparently upset about people asking for tips & tricks... Then I assume your Kaiser was just perfect as-is right ?
(...so I guess you kept the stock ROM untouched, and didnt apply any of the great XDA-dev patches/fixes then)
Anyone with a more constructive feedback, like maybe importing the CommMgr of a different HTC pdaphone ?
I have the Tilt with the stock AT&T ROM. It does everything I need it to. I have, however, applied many of the tweaks and fixes available here. I ask very few questions and do LOTS of reading. I read almost every thread in this forum looking for little tweaks to make my phone even better than it already is.
I have no problems with people asking questions. That is what this forum is for. What bugs me is people who post the same question over and over without reading ANYTHING. (not that I was referring to you)
I was trying to be a little sarcastic with my first reply, but I guess you took it the wrong way.
So then, if you said I was posting without reading anything ...
Do you mean you were able to find a way ? (finaly we'll get something constructive)
I am not really new to XDA-dev, so I know how searching the place works...
Unfortunately, neither the 6buttons nor the 10buttons CommMgr is able to do (apparently) what I'm trying to get.
Hence the post...
Well I highly doubt that you will be able to switch between the 6 and 10 buttom comm mgr. They are both cab installs and require a SR after install.
What about RemE's suggestion? Did you try that? You could also remap the PTT button.
P.S. I wasn't referring to you when I said people don't read before posting.

Reply email only to all

Hi,
does anybody know how to change the softkey in the mail menue. My Problem is that when i receive outlook pushmail emails and i open a email that i want to answer i have only the option reply to all. In my old device i had the key reply or answer (it´s german ROM).
any ideas? because actually i have to go to menue and then reply. that works but the direct softkey Reply (not to all) would be better.
I have bepe's ROM v0.52 (German) and have noticed it too.
I think this is a translation error. Instead of "Antworten" it says "Allen Antworten".
that's no translation error, it's also in the standard wwe
roms.
i've noticed this since i have my diamond, but i don't
want to bother anyone here with that, because i think
that htc will fix this in a future release.
perhaps a regkey exists in which we could fix this for
ourself, i will investigate that!
for now, there is a simple solution: go to "menue>reply>reply"
and you would have the standard reply...
regards,
markus
Hello all,
I'd like to re-open this discussion, as this 'feature' is really quite a pain.

I hear ya, but this is what this forum is for; I don't think people will mind.
Has anyone come across a way of modifying this soft key to once again serve as a "reply" only finction instead of "reply all"?
Any insight would be much appreciated!
Regards,
I came across this "bug" also, but I solved it by entering my own email address in the advanced options of my email account. When you don't do that and you hit the reply all button, you will reply to the original sender, but also to yourself.
This is how to do it:
1. Open active sync
2. Click MENU
3. Select: OPTIONS
You now see the items to synch with your exchange server.
4. Select EMAIL
At the bottom you have 2 buttons, DELETE and CONFIGURE (or something else in your own language)
5. Click CONFIGURE
You are now in the Syncoptions for e-mail screen
6. Click the Advanced button
In the Advanced email options screen, at the bottom you can fill in your email address.
7. Fill in your email address and finish all the upcomming screens.
When you now hit the Reply All button, you only reply to the original sender and not to yourself anymore. Furthermore there is no way to change it to reply instead of Reply All.

Absolutely! What a dumb feature. Here is your fix my friends and, yes, that's why we're all here.
Using any Registry editor (like CeRegedit) here's the key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\OutlookEnhancement
Change the OutlookEnhancement dll value data to "" (double quote) and then soft reset.
Hope this makes sense to you but it works as I've been doing it after every hard reset for months and months!
Cheers
Brilliant!!!!!
Thanks very much for the fix, WMguy; it worked like a charm! On a side note, I find it a bit odd that they'd consider this an 'enhancement'
Thanks also to MRE-net for the suggestion. I in fact already had my email address assigned to the account, and didn't actually experience the problem of emails returning to my own account; it just bothered me that the "reply all" button was still present when it didn't make any sense, and I knew there HAD to be a proper solution. Turns out there was!
Thanks again to everyone for the suggestions. That's why I love this forum!
Keep up the good work!

Thirteen "not obvious" questions about using X1i

Good afternoon!
I've tried to ask these question on other forums, but almost nobody gave me an answer. There were some about different software to use, but it didn't really help. So I would be very pleased if you, dear X1 gurus, answer these question. Please, if you know the answer - write it here for me and other people. Thank you very much in advance!
The priority is: I. How to solve the problem using native software or registry? II. If and only if the first is not possible, how to solve it using different software?
1. Where in file system the vocabulary of words which were inputted before is situated? It's a vocabulary with these tooltips-words while typing. Can I get it somewhere form my phone and backup or even edit?
2. How can I check my X1 uptime?
A: As yet I know only one way: use AEButton Plus. You can correct or supplement this opinion(and please do it) if you know more on that.
3. Someone called me from number +ХХХ, I want to call him back, BUT to add a zero between + and the first digit(+0XXX). How can I do it? I can't copy this number and there is no options like "change then dial". The one and only solution for it - is to choose "send SMS" and copy the number from the "From" field! But is it useful and normal for a device which costs about 500 euro?
A: As yet I know only one way: use Inesoft PhoneEx. You can correct or supplement this opinion(and please do it) if you know more on that.
4. Imagine: you have a contact Ivan in your contacts, which has 2 phone numbers: mobile and work. Two sms arrive to your phone: one is from his home number, another is from work. Sms inbox displays both of it as "Ivan". How do I know which sms is sent from what number?
A: As yet I know only one way: use Inesoft PhoneEx. You can correct or supplement this opinion(and please do it) if you know more on that.
5. How can I copy a number which was dialed earlier or number from contacts? I see only one way(but it's weird): chose "edit contact" and copy from the field. Is there another way?
A: As yet I know only one way: use Inesoft PhoneEx. You can correct or supplement this opinion(and please do it) if you know more on that.
6. While a phone conversation how can I easily save a number which my friend is saying to me? I tried to dial it while a call is active, it's ok, but once the call is dropped, my number disappears! Yes, I can create a note using a special touch-key, but it's not useful, because I should use my keypad and then should copy that number, but I need to dial it! How can it be solved?
7. Have anybody experienced a problem while taking a photo of many different objects? I had. It happened when I took a photo of a forest - there were a lot of trees alongside each other and after pressing shot button, "Saving..." was displayed on my screen for about 15 minutes! After it said that it failed to take a photo. What it can be?
8. Where can I find all my earlier connected WiFi points and passwords? I want to save it before upgrading my firmware. Can I backup it?
9. Can I turn of a feature of turning my screen light on when I plugging my X1 to PC? I don't want this light to be turning on when I do it! Is it possible?
10. While surfing internet via GPRS/EDGE or getting my email from server, my GSM part of device seems to be "unconsciousness": when somebody calls me, I'm "out of zone". How can I fix it? I want my GSM part to be number 1 by priority!
11. I can see anything when the sun is shining. I know everybody with X1 can't. But can I "ask" my backlight to help me? For example, set it to turn maximum power when on the light, or something? I'm asking because, as I've understood, my auto-backlight works vice versa: when it's bright - it turns off, when it's dark - it turns its max power. I want max power when it's very bright too!
A: People say that screen protector with anti-glare really helps.
12. When an SMS is coming, I get a popup notification at the bottom of the screen. I can either press "Reply" or "Options". If I press reply, the chat mode opens and I can reply, seeing all our conversation. BUT if I go to my address book and choose "New SMS" on a contact, different form will be opened, just like for e-mail composing. And here is a question: how can I make this "e-mail composing" style sms appearing after I press "Reply" when new sms arrived? I know how to turn the chat mode off, but I don't need it to be turned off completely, because it's useful while reading sms from one person. I just want reply to a person using simple form. Is it possible somehow? I think that if it's can be made by hands(New sms from contacts), then it could be implemented programmatically... maybe some values in registry?
A: As yet I know only one way: use Inesoft PhoneEx. You can correct or supplement this opinion(and please do it) if you know more on that.
13. At the screens you can see screenshots from my X1 with R2A0010 and 1.14 radio: 1 hour after powering on and 2 days after powering on. Why there is such a difference in memory consumption in some system processes? Is it an ordinary thing?
A: People say that it's normal. You can correct or supplement this opinion(and please do it) if you know more on that.
Thank you very much in advance again!
Great questions, especially #6. I can't answer any of them exept #5, so I'll have to watch this thread along with you!
#5, go to call log in the phone dialer and there is a menu option to save to contacts. If you want to save it to a pre-existing contact....you will have to add a question #14 to your list
PhoneX can do these two.

It's almost the same solution I offered for existing contact(edit contact and copy number from there). Maybe it's possible somehow to add in menu "Copy number"? (or I just have too much hope)

I don't know how about you, but when I choose "Save to contacts", it opens all contacts + "New contact" list...

Thanks for your answer. Yes, it can, just as Inesoft Phone. I've installed both of it. And then removed both in the same day. IMHO, they add some good design, but hardly can pretend on a lot more useful then original dialer. (Just for future messages, to have this thread clean, I say to myself and others(for the off-chance): I would not want to discuss any soft here, so please, let it be only tries to answer to these questions... thank you in advance)
BRING ON THE QUESTIONS!!!!!!!!!
1 - I don't know.
2 - AEB Button Plus has such a feature.
3, 4, 5, 6, 12 - I use PhoneEx sorry.
7 - Never heard of it. Upgrade your device to R3A and try again.
8 - I believe there is a text file in the Windows folder. I am not 100% sure though.
9 - Yes. There is a reg tweak, but I can't find it. Someone else should have it.
10 - Never had that problem. Are you using a custom ROM?
11 - I can see the screen very good in the sun, because I use a screen protector with anti-glare. Buy one and be amazed.
13 - It is normal.

I've been using the PhoneEx trial for a few days and it doesn't do #5 and #6. If any workaround involves tons of keypresses and program changing (during the call) to accomplish, then it fails. I think the OP is looking for a quick way of accomplishing these things during a call. Going to the notes application during a call only partly works. In order to actually use that number you may have jotted down in notes, you have to find the file and call the number from the notes file...not very elegant. There should be a means of jotting down numbers while in the dialer (without sending out tones causing your voicemail to go crazy) so that you may call or save them during or afterwards.
Also, I may be wrong but, how do you add additional numbers to a contact without copying and then going into edit contact then pasting? For example, how do you add a home number to a contact that already has a work number without manually going into edit contact and adding it. There should be a "merge with existing contact" feature within the dialer menus.
Not bashing PhoneEx, because it is pretty good otherwise. But, I am a stickler for convenience features. I hate tons of button pressing and navigation to accomplish simple things.

I tried to assign the dial pad to the call button, but I just get a dead PhoneEx screen. Is this a limitation of the trial version?
It works when I assign Calls or Contacts, but not the dial pad.

Sorry as in "I use superior product ftw" .
Unfortunatelly the nature of WinMo is that you need to add third party soft most of the time. That's the way it works.

If you don't mind I'm asking, why do you want to check your phone uptime? Do you have a time usage restriction or something?

Just for fun My work computer can be running for month or so... Sometimes it's interesting for how much your X1 is powered on. For example, if I see any bugs on it, I question myself: "How long does this thing work? Maybe it's time for an SR?". If I found that it's only a day - I would be very curious. And if it's already a week - I do an SR without any additional thoughts That's my answer
