I have this problem:
this was quoted from Howardforums.
I have realized after numerous missed calls and calling the wrong people that there are 2 inherent problems with the myFaves program and WM6 (Wing specifically).
Problem #1
If you have chosen to hide the myFaves icons from the today screen, then when you miss a call from one of the people that you have assigned as a myFave you will have no notification whatsoever. That is, no flashing light, no sound, no vibrate, and NO MESSAGE notification. No matter the settings in “Sounds & Notifications”
This is just ridiculous. My wife always complained that I would never call her back when she tried to call me at work, but it is because I had no idea she was calling.
Please note that this is only with contacts assigned as a myFave, everyone else that I miss a call from I get a message, light, sound, vibrate, etc.
Problem #2
One of my favorite features of any cell phone is the ability to quickly redial the last person that you called or the last person that called you. I use this feature all the time to quickly call back the person listed as my “Last Call”.
What I am talking about is when you hit the green phone button (hard button) and you get the numpad with the “Last Call” listed near the top left corner. Then you hit the button a second time to call that person. So it is essentially the ability to quickly hit the green button twice and redial that person.
If the “Last Call” is a contact assigned as a myFave, this feature does not work. Sure the name and little myFave logo will appear under “Last Call”, but the person that it will dial will be the last non-myFave person in your recent call history.
I absolutely hate this not working correctly. You would think that T-Mobile could do some testing before they realase software like this. But hey, what do I know…..
I use myFaves a lot, hell I almost double my allotted minutes just in myFaves calls a month. So I have to be able to take advantage of myFaves.
So my question is: Can I remove the “myFaves” application and still retain the use of myFaves through myTmobile.com?
I cannot wait till someone releases an update….
If someone could make a cab of it you could uninstall it and try. I would think they would be able to keep track of who your faves were for billing purposes independent of your phone settings. I never had myfaves and the app never installed on my wing, but its a pretty darn important feature for those who do. Hopefully there will soon be updates and rom cooking and we'll see stable non-tmobilized-crap roms out there. When I had my wizard, the cooked roms were always way more stable than the tmobile ones. It might be that running the myfaves cab on a more generic rom would clear up the bugs. Wish they'd stop delaying the RUU releases...

I'm adding this to the "call to action topic"
If you delete "List" from the registry, located in HKLM\Security\Phone\NoLog and soft reboot. Your MyFave people will show up on your call log.
T-Mobile data devices are not running myfaves well at all.
Think your Wing has myfaves problems?? Check out the Pearl.
Hopefully it can be fixed, myfaves is an awesome rateplan, and on all the regular handsets it works perfectly, just all the data devices dont like it.
notifications and myfaves problem

------------------------
I use the Touch-IT 2.3 ROM without myfaves running and notification and billing both work just fine. The myfaves app is just that, an app. It doesn't provide any special t-mo network capabilities, as that is managed as part of your account, not your phone.
Your notifications problem sounds like some kind of corruption of settings rather than a problem with myfaves; did the suggestion below related to "list" help at all?

its not corruption because i had the exact same problems and numerous amounts of others have said the same thing. I disabled the myfaves app and i can still call those same 5 people and wont be billed for it and i can change the 5 my going through mytmobile.com

This worked for me!!
Did anyone figure this out?
I also can't use the green phone button for redial (only) of specific (speed dial?) numbers. It's a hassle.
I also miss calls, but only from these same people. I do suspect it's a software problem, specifically and extended rom problem. I too have tried several OS ROMs, and all of the radio ROMs I can.
I don't have a myFaves plan or the app.
I'd like to try a fresh extended ROM next, but if someone has figured this out, since it's happened to me a lot (maybe getting the settings from Tmo automagically?) I'd rather tackle it directly rather than try to shot-gun solve it.
*********
As it turns out, the three people I was missing calls from were using old sim cards. Yes, three, and they were all something like eight years old. They all have had them replaced and everything is fine. Given this post, however, I'm going to sign up for myfaves.
I did search first, and my problem isn't the normal "multiple alarms at one time"...The reminders are going off like they should AND at the time of appt (not normal). Anyone encounter this? Is that a system setting I accidentally changed?
Things I've done lately:
- Loaded Kaiser Tweaks, made some recommended changes.
- Loaded the Tilt Cab for SPB Mobile Shell (enables themes to work).
- Some appt. times were off an hour, so changed time zone back and forth.
- Loaded Chartcross GPS Test
- Loaded then removed the HTC Keyboard/Dialer Cab
I do us MemMaid all the time and remove duplicated entries...
I don't know if this is the reason for your issue, but Windows Mobile by default is suppose to play a reminder X min/hours before the start time (whatever you set) and then if you DO NOT "Dismiss" that reminder it will play again at the start time of the appointment.
Are you maybe not dismissing the first reminder?
Thanks for the reply - Yes, I am. I even made a Test Appt - for 10am, with a reminder of 15 minutes. It went off at 945am...I dismissed...all was quiet until 10am.
happens to me too
I have a tilt, and I'm running the latest tilt unreleased official rom from the upgrading forum here.
ROM Version: ATT rom aku 0.4.4 build 18128
Radio: 1.27.14.09
Same exact thing happens to me. This was also happening with the rom that came on the tilt originally. when I dismiss an appt, I get a notification at the time it is supposed to happen too.
I checked under notifications after dismissing one, and I did not see the appt. in the list. I did see "enrollnot" at the appt. time, but that was it.
I haven't looked too much through the registry for a switch to turn this off, but it is pretty annoying.
This is happening to me too. It's not really a big problem for me even though I use my appointments constantly for work. It's just a minor annoyance. A fix would be nice though.
Then I guess this behavior is normal now, and I didn't necessarily screw something up. Having used a WM device since 2001, I just never encountered that - and I just got the Tilt this week and assumed it was me since I couldn't find any forums reporting the "problem".
Thanks for the replies, and I agree - it would be nice to have a setting to allow this "feature" or turn it off.
This is especially annoying for birthday reminders. I have them set to remind me 7 hours before (i.e. 5pm the night before). Problem is that even though I dismiss the reminder, I get woken up at 12am since these are all day events. Ugghhh...

I have the same exact problem!
mine too and I'm using the original AT&T ROM...
Unless this is a new feature to WM6, I've never seen this happen on any other version of WM.
For those of you having this issue, do you have the following software running:
AlarmPal
AlarmToday
PhoneAlarm
or some other calendar or reminder enhancement app such as SPB Pocket Plus w/ Repeating Alarams addon installed?

I am experiencing the same thing, and I don't have any of the mentioned apps running. Nothing more than the built-in calendar and tasks, actually.
FIXED on my tilt
I compared the registry entries for the calendar between my tilt and 8525. I found some differences between them, and modified the tilt registry settings. this problem has now gone away for me. I think it was because of one of these bits under DEFAULTS in this key, but you never know.....
Here's what I changed:
old tilt with repeated reminders at appointment time:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\Reminder]
"DEFAULTS"=hex:1e,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,04,00,00,00,00,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,a0,44,03,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
"WAVEFILE"=""
new tilt today that does not repeat reminders:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\Reminder]
"DEFAULTS"=hex:1e,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,04,00,00,00,00,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,60,72,04,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
"WAVEFILE"=""
maybe someone with access to the WM6 manuals has the decode for this key.

FYI.... make sure to use the CODE tags when adding registry entries. Look carefully and you will find extra spaces in your post above. If someone were to copy/paste that code, they would get the extra spaces making the key not work properly. By adding the code tags, this won't happen.
HMMMM....fixed? maybe, maybe not
I think I had this happen again today, after a few days of no repeats I got one today. Not sure if this fixed it or not. YMMV.
I'm going to let it simmer a few more days and see if it was a fluke, or if it really didn't fix the issue.
I think it's a WM bug because mine will do this off and on. I've never really noticed it until this thread was started but I've kept my eye on it and I get one that's multiple one time, then the next notification won't be. No ryhme or reason to it.
I agree, seems to be sporadic.
I'm on the stock AT&T 1.60 Tilt ROM and thought this was consistantly happening for me. So yesterday, rather than doing the Snooze for 15 mins, I just hit dismiss. 30 mins later I realized it never went off again and I missed my meeting . So yeah, it doesn't seem to consistent...
Notification when SMS [not mms] is sent...now gone [not request message delivery]
Had it before flashing to latest genuine Hong Kong rom...but now gone...not in notifications as a setting....any ideas please
Yes me too, I have flashed mine with a few different roms and I have never had it make a sound, I don't need it really but it is just peace of mind when it makes a sound that the SMS is send especially considering it is a phone running a Microsoft operating system... you never really know if everything works as you expect.
what do you need it for? if the SMS is not sent, you get an error message...
Believe me - for years I was used to getting those messages, but then i tried disabling them, a wow, so much better.
If you go to http://duttythroy.net/index.php
and download Diamond_Tweak_0.2_EN.cab
this has an option to turn sms sent notifications on ....
so people have been moaning for years about this error message, indeed it seems to have been one of the most hated parts of Windows mobile, and now that HTC finally get rid of it, people want it back.
Don't take this personally, but FFS!
**Bangs head against wall!**
I'm glad i'm getting out of technical support!
But yeah, if you want it back (for whatever reason) you can also use Schaps advanced config tool (Search, search and search again) to put it back.
Thanks
Thanks...much appreciated
hey
used the cab to turn back on my notifications - but dont seem to be able to get rid of the annoying sound that accompanies it. Its not listed in the sounds/notifications settings.
Im wondering of there s a simple reg hack to disable the noise.
cheers
is there a fix to this text msg freeze after i reply to it ? i heard its cause of the cache or something on the xperia. could i simply have my msg's on my sotrage card instead of my phone memory? what are some registry tweaks i can use with total commander and if u guys can point me to the right direction for this? i have tried the search but no luck for the text message freeze.
I know this is an old thread and no one replied but I too wonder if there is a fix.
Its annoying when I read/reply to a text message and close that conversation it freezes for like 20s to a minute for me when i try to go out to my text message window. and then from there sometimes it freezes for another 20s to a minute when I try to go to my home screen. I notice this only happens when I read a text or reply to a text to someone that I have a lot of text messages saved from.
If this doesnt make sense I can try and take a video of it and post it
Don't allow a huge build-up of old text messages. The more you have, the longer the pause, it seems. I wish there was a way to automatically delete SMS'es older than 'x' days.
I noticed the problem when I switched to WM6.5.
same problem here
If you are using WM6.5, use the newer version. I've got Christian's 3.904 Clean installed and the pause is almost non-existent compared to older WM6.5 ROMs.
yeah, the newer 6.5s don't have this issue (runnning Valkyrie LEO 5.5 and don't have the slow inbox anymore)
cool, im going to try out one of the new ones. I hate waiting for a minute after replying to a text.

Im trying Christians clean rom and I still have the lag with my text messages. And I know its only with the people who I have a lot of text messages for but I dont think 75-100 text messages is that much.

Like I said, you shouldn't allow a buildup of many messages. Sometimes I wish I could know what the hell a WM phone is doing when we sit there and wait forever after pressing a function.
Which Christian clean ROM are you using. The problem went away when I went to the 3.904. I think he's up to 4.001 now.
Im using the latest one, the 4.001
I guess I have to delete my messages. Kind of sucks though since when I had stock WM6.1 it wasnt like this lol.
I remember a while back someone said its possible to change the save location of your text messages to your Storage card, will that make a difference in that freeze/lag?
Thanks
