Hi, sorry for bothering you here. I might have a too simple question. But it didn't show up on the search.
After installing several programs on my Vario III the sort order of the icons in the program view changed.
In the beginning when I opened start->programs the icons were sorted directories first and therafter in alphabetical order.
Now I have them in a rather curios order: preinstalled programs and thereafter the ones I installed.
How can I fix this?
regards
andilein
Does anyone have an answer for this?
I'm getting the same problem.
hoping somebody has an answer to this, I am having the exact same problem.
there is a fix...
use a registry editor and go to HKCU/software/microsoft/shell/startmenu and delete the key called "Order". The soft reset the device. This should fix it.
Sorted!
Many thanks.
Hello-
I'm new to Windows Mobile (I've been on Palm OS for at least 5 years) and I have AT&T Tilt (8925).
I've been playing around with it for a while, and there's still some things I have questions on-
1)How do I complete remove some programs that I do not want and don't appear under "Remove Programs"? I know they're located in the Windows folder, but I get a Error 5 whenever I try to delete them- I think they're read-only or something...
2) I'm also having problems with the GPS receiver. At times it will work great, acquiring a signal in seconds, and other times it won't work at all, searching for a long time to find nothing. I use Live Search and Google Maps and have the same problem with both.. Any ideas?
3) Coming from Palm OS, I'm used to text messages coming up in a view. Is there a way to change that?
4) I modified my PTT button to work as any program. Is there a specific registry key I can set it to so that it acts as a power button?
5) I use gmail and I'm using their IMAP service. Some of my messages are appearing blank when downloaded. Was I supposed to change settings or something? Why does it only work for some and not others?
6) And last but not least, does anybody have any good mod/util programs to recommend?
Thanks for your help
Also,
7) Does anyone know how to disable the sound on the 3G launch screen when the device reboots?
I havent got too many answers to your questions, but this would be a sart at least.
KaiserTweak has many necessary customizations (but I dont think it addresses most of your questions.)

The apps you want to remove sounds like the Cingular built-in ones. In that case you can avoid installing them by doing a hard reset, and rebooting before it installs the carrier customizations.
This article gives a step by step howto.

Also this page was useful in getting my GPS problems sorted out. The GPSTEST software seemed to cure the problem all by itself (and its freeware)

Yeah, I've got KaiserTweak already, I love it.
In terms of the "bloatware", that is indeed what I want to remove, but there's also some that I want to keep... Is there a way to remove programs that arent in "Remove Programs"?
Not AFAIK, but the actual AT&T apps are available as a separate cab in this thread.

Unfortunately they are still bundled together, but at leas they can be cleanly uninstalled.

Even after bypassing the bloatware install, the CAB files should still be on the device for you to install them on your own. Might take a bit of digging to find the proper ones and you may need something like Resco Explorer, or Total Commander to "see" them. I think the built in file explorer hides some of the system files, but I couldn't tell you much more than that.
Thanks. The GPS Fix doesn't seem to do much- am I missing something?

Are you able to run it. You should be able to use it to test the function of your GPS device, and find out what port it uses etc. Its a smartphone program, so you have to use it using the keys, not the touch screen.

It seems to help and it's definately a very useful app. I'll let you know if my problems persist.
Does anyone have any ideas on the other issues I'm having?
Hi all,
I installed KaiserTweak yesterday, and although I think its a great application, Pocket Internet Explorer won't connect to any links. I don't know if it's related or not.
Firstly, the home page won't open, and no links open when selected in Favourites -- its says connecting at the bottom, and 0%.
I can connect with Opera, but I still like to use IE for some pages.
Anyone experienced this?
Thanks guys,
Ratzz
Does it look like its loading and then nothing comes up after it finishes real quick? I think this is a known issue. Forgot where I saw the fix. I just soft reset and its back.
Yep, thats it - tries the s/r but didnt fix.
I'd love to find that thread you mentioned...
Thanks for the info...

I had this problem on WM6.1 ROM with ce-star installed, PIE won't load any pages with this combination.
have you tried clearing the cookies and cache files? maybe a clean up is in order
All cleared up, but still no connection.
No error message, just a blank screen.
Any other ideas guys?
Not sure if Kaiser Tweak does this but did you change the location of where PIE stores the temp internet files. Also, try going back to the tweak and resetting everything to default. (for testing)
If you are using ATT to connect a hidden proxy has to be enabeled, don't know if that applies to T mobile as well.
i am having a similar problem with my IE. only difference is i cant seem to get an active internet signal for anything. it was working one second then not working the next. i cant send/recieve email or anything. any ideas guys??

If using T-Mobile DO NOT enable hidden proxy.
It's funny how I just responded to you with this cause now I'm in the same boat! s/r does not fix. Working one day, gone the next. Now I've gotta search for the thread I saw with the fix. Are you using the latest ROM from AT&T for the tilt..?
SOLUTION...
Its easy just don't use your SD to keep Temp, cookies, history, etc...
I was having the same problem until that changes.
Where do you change theses settings.. I know... NOOB question. I have thought I saw it somewhere but now I cant find it...

Or you could check in Tweak under PockectIE >Proxy Auto Detect> Enabled (proxy = disabled)
This setting solved my problem along with all the good folks here on xda!! I'm a NOOB but this worked for me.. I had everything else working and had used Opera Mini 9.5 beta and Opera Mobile successfully but could not get IE to load a page. It would act like it was loading, display 0%, but nothing happened. Hope this helps..
ATT Tilt
Rom: Dutty's 3.08...? (WM6.1)
Tweaks for pockey IE..? I did'nt see that option. Only general, memory, & security options under tools in IE. Is this located somewhere else or is it a CAB tweak..? Thanks.
I'm having the same problem, has anyone found a solution yet?
Hi!
Not sure if anyone else has this problem, I serached but couldn't find anything. It seems like the bookmarks I have added under Opera (the ones that also show up in the Internet tab) cannot be removed?!
I have the option of removing them with the bookmark editing interface. But after removing a bookmark it is still there. Does anyone know if you can find them within the registry and make sure to get rid of them once and for all?

hmmm...that is strange. I take it you already tried a soft reset?
Do the links still work on the internet tab (although you removed them in the settings)?
Hi!
Yes they do work, because they never left the phone
Really annoying actually, and now I am deathly afraid of adding more ...
Please help. i've searched and searched but nothing...
I've managed to delete some items/options from my today screen. I'm using the o2 interface.
I'm missing the running programs icon from the bottom right of the screen. Plus i used to have memory and volume settings (used to be able to select normal, loud etc etc) I've noticed the whole menu is missing from the Today in Settings.
Does anyone know how i can get this all back? Somethings been deleted when i was installing regedit, but i dont know what it was.
Thanks in advance.
Ben
I dont think anybody can help ... unless experts know how to add registry entry for these 2 item with the .cab files better still ..
I only can think .. there is a program ..can extract whole wm registry out to one file then can compare others file ..and spot out the diff.
Just had a thought. if I back up my files and contacts. Then reset the phone back to factory it might reinstate whatevers missing.
Will post how I get on
Yep, that worked... factory settings and automatic o2 program reinstalled everything back as it should be
