Help with Windows Mobile Tasks - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Hi All,
I hope someone is able to help or point me in the direction of a hack or some software to help.
Basically i use windows mobile task manager alot and any task i create i make a reminder, what i want to know is if anyone knows if their is a way i can sort the display of the tasks so that they are ordered by the reminder time.
I have played around with Due Date but if there is multiple tasks on one date they are sorted alphabetically.
I hope some can help i think i have OCD as this little thing bothers me

Hi,
my answer will be a bit off-topic as I do not answer your question, but have you ever tried the freeware SponnDo (same creator as SponnAlarm). This soft covers the normal WinMo tasks manager interface and makes it finger friendlier and so on.
I do not recall if such an option as you're looking for was available but worth the try.

thanks for the reply, i will check it out

Application to block unwanted SMS's

Hi all,
I just wanted to know if there is an application (preferably freeware but not essential), that will block SMS's from certain numbers.
I honestly do not have the time to search the forums for this, so if someone is prepared to help, I thank you immensely in advance.
Regards,
MAC
You can try these programs:
http://www.mobiion.com/magicall.html
http://www.logic-unlimited.com/callfirewall.php
Soooo what your saying is that you have time to type out this topic and start a new thread, but you don't have time to hit
search at the top right
type in "block sms messages"
and then click, what would have been the first link?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-360379.html
sounds less time consuming then making a thread
use the above links to use programs to configure whitelists and blacklists. i never could get those programs to work on stock or custom rom so good luck!
Thank you all so much for your input I have gone with Call Firewall for now.

Adding Tasks to TouchFlow?

Is there any way to add tasks to show up in the touchflow homepage, below the calendar?
Nobody knows?
i wanna know too
me too... I use tasks and prefer that to show up instead of calendar appointments.
Another task question...
I would like tasks to be added to Touchflo 3D too, but I'm guessing we're going to have to wait for the next version!
In the meantime, I have another task question; is it possible for tasks to just show active tasks that have "started"? e.g. if the start date for a task is next month, then I don't want to see it until then, unless I view "all tasks". I've just upgraded from a mobile 2005 device, and this is the first feature I'm missing!
Thanks for any help!

yeah...ane idea how to add task in the home screen...i so miss it though i like the Flo3D interface very much...adding the task option below the calender or instead could be great...ane ideas please...
thanks
With this version of TF3D it is unfortunately impossible.
yup i miss Tasks on the homepage too, the only alternative i found is adding it to the Start Menu so i can access it quickly.

Seriously?! No tasks on the home screen without disabling TF3D?.
Honestly.. ..every time I get a new WinMobile phone, it feels like 3 steps forward and 2 steps back. Ho hum...
(at least that's an aggregated 1 step forward... ;-) )
Million peoples aks for this before. Just use the search or google.
If it is possible, we make the solution public! Just wait...
A good solution I have found from helpful guys here is to
1 - install Second Today (found on these boards)
2 - registry change one of your soft keys to Second Today so you can flick between TF3D and Today
3 - install a today screen plugin (I like Pocket Breeze)
Then you have the best of both worlds and if you like tasks, as I do, you have them, notes etc all on your screen no harder to get to than scrolling home in TF3D
Oh and also if you wallpaper it with the same image you hardly know you are in and out of TF
Yeah I can definately recommend SecondToday too
Integrating Task-list to TouchFlo3d
I've been looking around a while, and so far with no luck for a fix for this.
So, the question is: Was the call log tab discovered in TouchFlo3D a pre-coded and hidden tab, or was it coded from scratch?
As far as I remember, it was discovered... But it was coded from scratch, can someone prep a task-tab for the TouchFlo3D?
This will be interesting, if only i was a programmer.
looking forward to this realese if someone would be willing enough, you are my heros
HI,
I solved that issue installing the Second Today application and using the Pocket Breeze plugin.
But I would also like to view the Tasks in a Native Touch Flow Tab.
Regards,
Jose
A tab with task and appointment info sure would be nice to have...
Tasks tab for Touchoflo 3D
Has anyone developed a new tab for Touchflo 3D (like they did for Call History) that would work with tasks? It would be great to be able to view and change the status of tasks on the fly...
Hey there! Remember I posted a similar thread for a while ago, didn't get any solutions then, but maybe this time
AFAIK the "recent calls" tab of TF3D hasn't been developed by anyone here. It was always there, right from HTC - just not used.

voice calendar application

Hi all
Im looking for an app that will complement the calendar by allowing to record voice notes instead of text input when the calendar is open on "day" view.
when you hold down a specific time on the calendar, the voice recorder is activated and the Voice Note automatically gets recorded on the calendar date and time you are holding down, and gets added to your reminders/appointments with default settings and no more questions.
It would be a lot better obviously if it was translated to text first, but not necessary.
I was able to find "voice cal", very old and uninstallable on wm6.1 with .cf.net 3.5
and also "speerio voice organizer"... looks like a memory hog and i read it doesn't work right. Its also crowded with a million different things that are not useful.
I just want a simple interface to be able to use with one or two clicks or buttons in order to set up a calendar event while im driving or on the phone etc....
thanks
bump!.................
Hi Spiro,
any luck on finding that app? Cos i've been looking for the same, tho i would prefer that when u push the "record" button, u get multiple choices regarding where to place the voice note, where "calendar" bein one of the first. Then u just had to place it into the day and time you would like it to be. Haven't found one yet, so i've started to write to different application developers suggesting such an app. I'm surprised that they haven't made one ages ago. In meantime, if you should come across one, pls let me know.
cheers
anyone???
Do I really have to take up programming and write my own app?
I was lookin around and saw this
handheld.softpedia.com/get/Business/Calendar/VoiceCalendars-52540.shtml
I think this is different than VoiceCal
The one I gave the link to, seems lke it could work. Only problem is that it doesnt use WM existing calendar.
I tried speerio voice reminder and it was horrible! I dont know what some people are thinking.
All I need is a simple plugin to show itself on the calendars context menu when I "long press" on dayview to say "new voice note" and when I click on it it should have a HUGE red record button and a stop button. When you hit the stop button the calendar would save that as an event with the default alarms on the date it was created
the only problem I see with that is that the heading of the event would not be very informative unless one typed the info, but im willing to live with that. Or maybe MSvoice command could help there with some text to speech engine!!! (im not holding my breath)
Im using an app called "thumpcal" right now but they dont have a "day view" and I have to set the time after I scedulle an event on a specific date, but its better than the built in calendar BECAUSE ITS SIMPLE!!!!!
I dont understand how am i supposed to use a program like "speerio" while im driving when it has 30 f...n buttons the size of a neutron on the screen in a grey on grey display?????????
Does anyone know what I have to learn in order to put a little program together to do what I want it to do?
PS I also found some other interesting programs like "freenotes" that I thought was a good idea but I would like to be able to initiate that from the "day view" on the calendar (right click on a time on the screen and have the choice of a voice note or a pen note) so that I dont have to key- in the time that I want the event to take place
ummmmmm.....the link that I posted does what you want.
1.Make folders by subject name
2.Click on a folder, it then brings up calendar
3.Click on a day of the month
4.There is a BIG RED RECORD BUTTON at bottom of screen
5.Record your note, it is then stored for that specific day
Is this not what you want? Granted it doesn't use your existing calendar but hey, something is better than nothing, right
VoiceCalendars
Update*
I was just lookin around and found this app. I think it might be right up your alley. Very simple/minimal interface. Allows you to record a voice message up to 2 minutes and then you can set a date and time for it to play aloud automatically.
Voice Reminder: Download Cab
Heres the website I found it at
I hope either of these programs can help. I know how frustrating it is not to be able to find that perfect app!

Hey asofiker
thanks for your reply
I have an HTC Kaiser phone
I tried both programs you suggested and had the same problems with both that other users seem to be experiencing
the "voice calendars" displays a "the control grid .....could not be created" error
and the other program from the XDA member gives me the "An error occoured on sub_app_start.
This device does not support display power on/off Continue?" error.
I appreciate your help and if I find anything that works in the future Ill be sure to post here
Thanks again!
Not exactly what you're looking for but an idea: Agenda Fusion with its Notes Organizer and Data Linking features. Also a good agenda with lots of views. http://www.developerone.com/agendafusion/index.htm
Pocket Informant 8 is the best Calendar and Contacts app available and I always install it to my wm devices. It has voice notes recording functionality and then some. Check it out. I have tried all the others at great expense (some provide trials) and this is by far the best one.
Regards,
MAC
I tried agenda fusion in the past and find that it falls in the same category as most of these organizer programs its simply overkill for a one handed hand held device with a 2 inch screen
Ill give pocket informant a try and post back
Thanks
pocket informant no good for this purpose either!

Which version of PI are you using?
Mine is version 8 and it does exactly as you require! It saves a voice note under Storage Card/Voices when you select Notes View>Menu>Recording

New Diamond, please help

Hey fellow forum users,
I recently (read: last tuesday afternoon) got my Diamond. And I am kind of lost.
First of all, my internet doesn't work. Tuesday begin of the evening it did work. But at the end of the evening and today it hasn't worked at all. @ the dutch vodafone site there are specific things you need to fill in which I did. However it still doesn't work. So I will be giving them a call first thing tomorow.
Second of all, my music. When I plug in my Touch Diamond on the computer, I see this map "content" I click on it and I see "music" so I put an album in there, but there is no music on the phone. Does it have to be converted? because I didnt find a converter on any of the cd's I was given. The same thing with my video. I put a movie on it for testing, but can't find that anywhere on my phone either.
Further I have some requests,
- I am looking for a transparant clock (the white part transparant) so you'll see the wallpaper better.
- I am looking for a way to change the bottom bar.
- I am looking for the best way to use my gps receiver (like a program or something).
- A way to simplify my contacts, I find it very annoying to have all this info. I just want to keep their names with e-mail, mobile phone numer and home number.
- A thing like that weather tab, only then with the time. Don't know if it's out but I find that a really funny feature on the iPods. Perhaps with those huge analog clocks showing the time of 6 countries in the world
Thanks in advance,
Dennis
p.s. I'll be using this topic if allowed for some further questions and am looking forward to any advice given.
p.p.s general advice on what to do with it for easier and better use of the device is very very much welcome.
p.p.p.s I have these programs on my phone aswell, as a .rar file still though if that matters (he said not), someone adviced me to put them on:
- Mortonscript
- Diamond TF3D Config Setup
- Automatic Wallpaper changer (no use for this yet but I really liked the background he was talking about that changed to the time it was, so like a sun during the day and a moon during the night).
I am completly lost at the moment. Gonna study the books that were packed with it I guess. Any help is appreciated.
1000 times thanks for anyone who can help.
(and hope this is allowed)
anyone that can help?

Hi Dennis,
I'll try to help where I can. The internet issue you will probably have to sort out with your provider. If it was working and now it isn't it the only thing I can think of is you made some change to the network config. They should be able to get it working again.
As for Music I found the best way to transfer music to the Diamond is through active sync. Plug your phone in to your PC, when prompted on the phone select active sync, then on the PC open up Windows Media player and select sync. Then just drag and drop the music you want on your phone to the sync panel and then click sync. All the music you selected will be transferred to your phone and the album art and everything if it is available will be displayed on the phone.
For the transaprent flip clock and lots more tf3d mods, look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436867
For the bottom bar you have to be more specific, do you want to change the softkeys??
I find the best GPS software is either google maps or microsoft live search, both are free, google them!
For contacts there are many solutions out there, you will have to look on your own, sorry!
I've seen world clock application but most of them are home plugins, again you will have to look around on your own..
As for the rest, you will have to spend some time reading and searching. I don't advise reading the book that came with it as it contains very little useful info.
hit me back if you have anymore questions!!! oh and welcome to the community!!!
With changing the bottombar I mean putting like perhaps the gps on the spot of the photo / video etc.
Thanks btw
Sorry Dennis, as far as i know there is currently no method for changing the tf3d tabs. You can add some but really they already exist just not displayed. You can try SSmapa to replace some of the default functions.

Newb here!

Hello everyone!
Just wanted to introduce myself. Just got my first Windows Mobile phone a few weeks ago. I went with Verizon's HTC Ozone, as it was free and fit my budget perfectly.
Haven't had a whole lot of time to troubleshoot alternatives and solutions to some of my problems, figured I'd list them out in here as I browse the fourms for the answers. If anyone knows the fix for any of this off hand please let me know!
My device is running Windows Mobile 6.5. I understand the memory management on this device does not automatically close programs. This is cool for things like webpages and such that I'd like to multitask on. But when I want to close out of a page making noise, or application producing noise in the background going through all programs -) task manager -) end task can be an inconvience. Is there anyway to close programs via a short cut?
And is there any sort of alt+tab like feature to browse between programs in the memory so I don't have to explore to them to re-up the window?
Also, I've been trying to get morphgear to work as a GBA emulator. It installs and opens but I have 0 control after that. I can open a settings menu but I can't save the changes and if I hit a txt box I am stuck.
Sorry if these are noob questions, I'd look them up myself if I had the time. But I look forward to learning from these fourms and hopefully contributing in some way myself.
Thanks!
