Few questions - Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi! Ihave a few questions for you experts to help me. Let"s begin:
1. Does the phone alarm ring if the phone is switched off? I have notice it doesen"t but is there any option i have to tick? I don"t want to have a phone switched on when i sleep because i don"t need it it is a waste of battery but i do need alarm...
2. On settings and battery there are some informations on standby time and the time passed from last charging but on mine it is all on 0. It says not aplicable. How can i use that feature?
3. On memory page it says i have total of 183.73 mb of ram shouldn"t it be like 288 mb ram. I have only 87 mb of free memory but i shoul of have it 187. Doesen"t the phone have 288 mb ram and not 188?
Thanks for helping me. I will have some more questions soon

1) If you switch off your phone with the power button (not only screen off), then there will be no alarm. I do not know any possibility to get Alarm if the phone is complete off.
2) The phone has 512 MB flash ROM, 288 MB RAM.
You can check this in Settings -> Device Information -> Hardware.
There you see as well "Storage Size: 354.92MB".
As far as I know (which can be wrong) it is like this:
The way the phone handles the overall memory is complicated.
Some programs are in the flash ROM (the applications that come with the phone and Windows Mobile), some are in RAM.
And WM reports the memory split into Storage and Program. But it shows not what is in flash ROM and what is in RAM. And it does not show how much the system reserves for cache and stack and variables.

1) you only can turn on "Airplain mode" to save battery life, if your phone is switched off it's same like with desktop pc

Messages help
Hi!
I need help regarding messages. In winmo 6.1 i had an option to choose sms or mms message when i wanted to type a new message, but now in the latest rom i dont have that option anymore. The only way to send a mms message is by inserting picture,...etc but what if i want to send only text by mms? How can i do that? The reason i am asking this is because i am not able to send a sms message, dont know why but the same thing was with winmo 6.1 (i could send a few sms messsages when i brought the phone home but one day i just couldnt send sms anymore) .

Main screen image
HI!
How can u change the background image in the home screen in the newest rom? If you want default black or any other picture? And also question from yesterday: How to send a text only by mms?

Thanks for the update Papizdono. Wanted to try the next version also, give an update on that also.
One more "little" bug..
the camera is working and its a 3.3 version (probably got it from faria ), but they did not include any template in My Documents\Templates, so you will have to copy at least one template from other OS there or you will get errors in camera when switching to template function...
and for those COOLCAMERA freaks, there is also an NIGHT option in the normal camera.. in settings in AMBIENCE put the NIGHT and it will make better picutres in dark places...
cheers

check out those posts...the settings are there for TMOBILE USA, and what i did under that...let me know if it works out
Ok, after 8 hours here is the results :
Battery dropped from 73% to 70% ... thats standard, since i was kinnda using it before going to sleep so the drop to 73% was faster couse it was on... but the bug is not in the OS i guess, last WM6 i was using it dropped from 80% to 30%...
now the memory... when i went to sleep there was 21.63 meg of memory ... now after 8 hours there is 21.61 free memory... so i guess no memory leak in OS... have Resco keyboard, batti and smartskey running jouced to 264mhz.. and resco explorer with plugins, resco picture viewer... but this apps are not running all the time
now lets install some other apps
Ok, the MEMORY problem with font cache :
FONT CACHE supposed to be cache for rendering and screen stuf... and here is where they got it WRONG...
the HKLM\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit is set to 16384 , but NOT DECIMAL !!! its HEXA that means its like 92XXX somthn !!!! thats WAY WAY TOOOO MUCH and thats WHATS BEEN hitting the MEMORY so HARD... setting that to DECIMA 16384 / hex 4000 , gets you 5 megs of memory BACK !!!!
Now installing other apps, and after that, sync with PC to get all the contacts and data...
im kinnda worried for the WeatherPannel and for Photo Contacts PRO apps... they are the last two who are running all the time that i didnt install yet... maybe they have memory problems and battery drains ?
Ok, i managed to install all the SW i use, just skipped that weather today plugin, and i get 26.22 megs of free ram after tunning it up as described allready... thats good news..
now lets see about battery and ram usage after 2 hours... ill keep you posted
P.
I don't have registry wizzard. Can you explain which registry key i have to edit manually to get this done?

Ok, seems like its working..
After 2 hours of using device like every day, few calls, some BT activity, only 6% of battery dropped, thats normal...
Ram went from 26 to 24 megs, since i ran almost all the apps i have installed, so no strange thing there...
in 12 hours when i go to sleep, i will see how the memory drops in 10 hours of not even touching it, and how the battery drops... if thats goes OK, its time to final install , thats the Photo Contacts PRO and weather plugin.
Cheers
Hehe, i'm sorry for not being clear enough. I know bout the glyphcache, but I meant the registry fix for mms

Need Help with my TILT

Hi, I have a AT&T Tilt and I have a simple problem I want to know how can I fix it, if its possible.
PLEASE DONT TELL ME TO SEARCH CAUSE I TRY A FEW TIMES AND I CANT FIND THE ANSWER TO MY PROBLEM, MAYBE I DONT KNOW HOW TO USE THE SEARCH.
OK here it is:
#1 = CLOCK
-I want to put the clock , lets say retard the time 10 minutes, I do it, but in a few hours the clock its at the real time again! How or what do I have to do, so the time wont fix by it self???
Also, Can anyone please tell me if its a way to see youtube videos??, my cellphone on " m.youtube.com" any video says, fail to connect, and on www.youtube.com (the same one we use on a PC) it says something about the flash player...? (I havent search for this)
THANKS
for youtube get the "video sites" cab. it will take you to all the video sites.
#1 - Clock
Start>Settings>Phone>Time Zones Tab, Un-Check "Automatic Change Time Zone and Clock".
#2 youtube, you will need to search, it involves installing TCPMP and setting it up and I'm not up to spoon feeding tonight.

OK changing the topic a little, I installed the HTC HOME and HTC album, and the new camera drivers, very very cool things, what other things do you recommend me to install on my TILT??
whats touchflow for?, and what about the HTC cube like thing I have seen here, is that easy to install? (like the HTC home?), any of this will make my phone slower?

Read & Search!!!!!!!!
Okay, I assume you're talking a live or hotmail account, right? If so you'll need WLM or pocket MSN. Here is WLM: http://rapidshare.com/files/77537208/WLM_v10.6.0030.2100.rar
Instal WLM from desktop & then go back to the "new e-mail" and it will run you through the configuration. This is going to instal windows messenger too though. Make sure you read the screen & uncheck the sync contacts option unless you want all your hotmail/live contact stored in pocket outlook.
Thanks to every one, im reading and searching, learning a little more about my Tilt
I still havent figure out how to see youtube videos, but I guess i'll find something in the next days...
Another thing, if some one can answer me
MY TILT has this on memory:
STORAGE------------------------Program
TOTAL = 124.66------------------TOTAL = 101.38
in use = 101.17-------------------in USE = 51.49
FREE = 23.49----------------------FREE = 49.89
Is thats normal?, i have 4 mp3 (not more than 10mb) and like 10 pictures (not more than 6mb), and HTC HOME, Some Camera driver someone post here, HTC HOME Custumizer , and HTC album
If the phone install something, I remove it on "REMOVE PROGRAMS" right?, will it still use memory? ( i think this is a stupid question) I ask, cause I remember yesterday I had 29 free MB, and now I only have 23Mb, and the phone its exactly the same, I download some programs, but i remove it on "remove programs"

To be honest, I'm relieved that your questions were actually valid and you seemed to have used the search.
We're not newbie-hostile over here. We just get tired of answering the same questions all the time.
That being said, if you post about problems with your keyboard and volume after having flashed a new ROM, we'll probably ream you for not having searched. Thank God for intelligent questions and new users.
sorry, im dont know if I understand your post (im not a good English student hehe)

Well, the memory usage seems to be normal. Please notice that the operating system also needs memory and needs more space, if you open programs. You can check and close programs in the same settings window using the tab Running Programs. Regulary Windows Mobile just minimizes programs when you click on the "X"-Button. There are several solutions to override this and really close an application then. You can find some free at www.freecabs.de (Website is in english).
And yes, to remove programs you have to remove them at Settings>System>Remove Programs. But you can not remove programs, which are implemented in the ROM. Just the apps you installed.
Here's how to get full Youtube working:
http://tech.blorge.com/Structure: /...youtube-working-on-your-windows-mobile-phone/
Truthfully, you will have much more memory available, and it will be easier to fully close programs to prevent them from using resources (CPU and memory) if you flash a cooked ROM (I like Dutty's DualTouch v2). Posts on how to do this are everywhere, and on the XDA developers wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/
Good luck.
And don't feel bad about not having perfect English. It's a ridiculously hard language to learn and an ugly one, in my opinion.

About the memory storage issue I have, I dont know, but maybe my phone has something wrong, cause today it has 5MB less than yesterday and I havent istalled anything!!!
anyone have this problem? what if my phone run out of free memory in a few days??
--------
another Question, when I want to reset the phone (turn it off and then turn it ON) I do it by pressing the power button on the side of the phone, or is it a button in a program, like a PC, to turn it off??
I would like to know
is it better to Delete Cab files after installing
to make more space on phone ?
Or would we need it when we make a sprite back up ?
also if we change cards from 6gb to 8gb
do i just copy paste all on my 6gb to my 8gb card 7 that should do it
or is there another way ?
Thank you
and about the youtube thing, I download the files install it, and I think it make my phone slower and it doesnt work at all, only say, the video its not avaible (may have been removed) at www.youtube.com no matter what video I click...

Yes, you only need to copy and paste files from an old to a new card. I'd recommend to turn off the phone while doing it but you don't need to do that.

im a newbie at this phone game
sorry
dont sleep on me
help still pls
We can't do it for you. We can only help you help yourself. What have you done.
Basically, how much "free memory" do you have on your device.
I would suggest finding and installing a "task Manager" program and killing all apps before sending then see what happens.
With WM phone after you are done with a program and hit the "x" it doesn't always shut down the program it just hides it in the background using up memory.
Alright thanks i will find a task manager program
i downloaded
this task manager program
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306176
still no help
any other task manager program suggestions
when I told you to search I figured you would of discovered arcsoft. Look for the latest version. I believe All The Way my have posted it a month or two ago. However, any version 4 and beyond should work fine.
You need to learn to search the forums better. When you are viewing, if you look to the left hand side of your screen you will see "thread/thread starter". If you click that, the threads become alphabetical. Therefore, words like MMS will be easy to search. Just a hint, which was not necessary this time around.
Good luck.
thx well im new
i download arcsoft mms 5
still no action
here I installed this one today after having MMS issues myself and remembering your thread. This one works wonderful for me. Give it a shot. Remember to send a MMS to yourself then click the little photo icon in your threaded sms.
Just unzip the file onto your pc and install the cab
edit: you may experience a little lag after the installation but it will shortly go away.

How much memory do you have left?
You can find this out by navigating to the following

Also, Do you have a storage card?

well, you have plenty of memory, lol. The only thing left you can do is a hard reset. After the hard reset install arcsoft before installing anything else. If you need any back up software, I provided PIM for you below.
There may be an application that is interfering with your MMS. So install your applications individually to see if that is the case.
If your MMS still fails after the hard reset you may want to look towards upgrading your rom.

[Q]Memory Usage

Whats the deal with the RAM usage on the Diamond. Its getting to be a joke sometimes. After using the phone for 2 to 3 days, i have to switch it off just so the memory usage can drop back to around 60%. Its seems after using the music player, picture viewer and anyother apps the phone decides that it does not want to release the memory after they have been closed PROPERLY and doesnt even allow me a facility to release manually.
Am i missing something here ? Before anyone asks - yes i have closed programs properly and there is nothing running in the background (that i can see) but the usage jumps from 60% to 80% causing noticable lag.
Any help appriciated.
use a taskmanager and free the ram. i get with it 35% free ram (72 megs). you can close cprog and sip.
I use FreeUP Ram from SKTools but it´s not really good.
Normally i´ve got 60% used RAM and after using the Prog 57 % .
But I think that 40 % free RAM are enough?
whoops i mean i got 35% in used memory. the rest is free. sorry. sk tools is ok but doesnt help much. with the taskman you can close cprog. it seems to be the cache or something. if i had start a program. the cprog task gets bigger and bigger. i can close it without any error. and have a lot of ram. was sip or something is i dont know. i closed it too and no error.
Ok those points seem fair however my problem is that i cant actually see cprog or sip in my task manager. Im using the default one. Their are (apparently) no programs running....
Which taskmanager do you use ganxta?
Ther is no "SIP" running.
Only SIPGT_app.exe
Is it the same?

Both are not programs running; they are process running. So you can see them changing from menu > view > "application" to menu > view > "process" (sorry if the path is not correct, but my task manager is in spanish.
Then (viewing "process") you could see cprog and sip, but you won´t be able to close them. You only can close programs running, not process.
Yep i understand its a process but thats the problem im having i guess, i cant actually get to the process list. The task manager only has two options (not including the About) - "Stop All But Selected" & "Memory" - When i navigate to memory there isnt much i can do - its just a break down of whats in use.
So i guess i either need a new Task manager or can someone point me to which menu or program i need to access to get to the processes.
Task manager Info -
The version is: 2.1 Task manager for Pocket PC (Build 34563)
ROM -
1.93.405.1 WWE (The original from HTC)
Never mind I have found a really cool Task Manager tool - much more comprehensive than the crappy one provided with the phone. You can get it from: http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm - pretty nifty tool.
So back on topic - WHAT is CPROG? It’s taking huge memory space so I’m reluctant to close it. If I can get any real information on the process, that would help me make a more informed decision whether to kill it or not.
Thanks for your help so far guys!
Edit:
Cprog is actually related to the phone portion of the PDA so its best to keep it running lol. You can close it but you'll find that when you want to make calls etc, it will run it self.

About Cprog... exactly; it´s is related to phone. If you close cprog process, the phone still be working but WM will not show the signal icon at the taskbar (you will be able to make an receive calls).
Everytime you make a call, cprog will be loaded in memory again.
With no programs running, how much memory should be being used? Mine says about 37% with no programs running. I have the Sprint CDMA version. I'm trying to figure out how to get the most battery life, so I'm trying everything I can.
Wow! Mine uses around 60% of the memory! When I start it up, It's around 50-55%, and after a bit of usage, it goes up to 60. After like many apps launched, and properly killed, it's around 64-68%. When I start feeling some lags, a soft reset cleans it back to to 50-55...
Of course, no program is running when I check this.
Any best practice in mind to maintain it as low as possible?

Wow! Mine uses around 60% of the memory! When I start it up, It's around 50-55%, and after a bit of usage, it goes up to 60. After like many apps launched, and properly killed, it's around 64-68%. When I start feeling some lags, a soft reset cleans it back to to 50-55...
Of course, no program is running when I check this.

My Diamond shows after fresh start around 52% too,and after usage it goes upt to 70%
When I tried to stop cprog process, memory gone back to 51% but I was unable to recieve call, the phone doesn't show incoming call,even when caller hear ringing in his phone
i have a similar problem on my verizon touch pro. it has the same amount of ram as the diamond, so cprog.exe eating up 11mb of ram is a big deal to me. anyway, i disabled the dialer skin using the advanced configuration tool. the dialer looks ugly, but it's only eating 1.5mb of ram now.

The grey is ugly isn't it? Fortunately it can be skinned, see my sig.
thanks, cool stuff. if i get some time, i'll play with this in photoshop. maybe something that matches the verizon tf3d a bit better.

[PROBLEM] Ram

Hi,
I have a little problem.
When ein first turn on my device I have 33% RAM in use.
Now, when I load programs and close them the RAM does't goes down.
Example: First 33%
Launch p2p: 37%
close the program: 34%
If I'm going to do this more then 1 time or even if I load other programs the RAM is getting higher and higher and if I look on my RAM at the evening then I have up to 50% RAM in use and no program is running...
And yes I really had them shut down comletely.
Im currentally using the newest official ROM of HTC from Germany, also the Radio which is includet.
PS: If there is something you don't understand, cause I#m from Germany and my english isn't very well, pls ask me and I'M going to try it better. =)
Welcome to the world of Windows!
If you don't have it already, try installing Dotfred's task manager. You'll find that even though the HTC quick menu (if that's what you're using) says that applications are closed, there are frequently processes running that are eating up RAM. Killing them can help you out. Even so, it's normal for the % to climb as you use more and more applications. That's what soft reset is for.
Thanks,
I installed the Task Manager, very nice application =), but it says that "Opera9.exe" is running (\Windows\Opera9.exe) and if I want to close it it says "The process 'Opera9.exe' couldn't be closed properly do you want to kill it?" Should I kill it? ^^ Or is this an important application which have to run all the time ?
EDIT: Maybe someone could post all important programs which should be in this list =)
Just kill it! If you kill the wrong thing, I think all will happen is you'll need to soft reset (I said 'I think'). The Opera 9 runs all the time, but doesn't consume much memory (mine's saying 4 kb right now). But kill quickqps and active sync/repllog and anything else that doesn't need to be running. It may not solve your problem, but it's kind of fun.
after you kill programs the best one to kill that gets you ram back is cprog.exe you wil have to kill it
