Ok here is one for the books.
How come after I reset or power up my 8125 my email button kinda works.
Kinda being that the title bar says comcast or whatever mailbox it is at and I have the "New" and "Menu" soft buttons at the bottom of the screen and they work, BUT no middle of the screen no matter how long I leave it.
BUT if I go to programs and messaging it pops open just fine and then the button works fine ????
I have tried reassiging the button to make sure it knows where it is.
Any ideas and solutions.
I dont think it has anyyhing to do with the ROM its self as it happens with 1.8, Mr. Clean, 2.25.
All I am running as addins is
HanDBase 3.0
Resco Explorer and Reg Edit
eWallet.
PDA Sudoku
All Mobile Mines.
plus the standard Reg tweaks.
I get the very same problem. I am not running any of the applications that you are running, stainlesspc. I've tried turning off Wisbar as well as all of the today plugins, but it does the same thing.
This is an on-going issue with all Roms.. There are several discussions on this especially within the AKU 2.2 & AKU 2.3 Rom threads.
Makes no sense. Messaging always opens okay from the start menu or wotherwise but if the wind is blowing in right direction and a frog farts in the corner then messaging buggers from that button. Other apps work fine through.
Ditto here. When it happens, I can still open it from the start menu.
It seems to happen when the messaging app has been closed. When it's been recently started and I'm sure it's still open, the button usually works fine.
well it is iffy if I kill it in running programs, at best it is slow.
BUt no matter which button it is tied to it still wont start after a reset.
Hey everybody! This is my first post on the xda-developers forums and I thought I'd make it a useful one. I attached the first WinMo6 application I made for my Tilt. It's a program which locks your keypad with the standard PIN prompt and quits. It's use? Lock your phone and set it to standby with two keys and no stylus.
Reason I wrote it? The second day I got the Tilt I found that the concept of being unable to lock the phone without the stylus confused and infuriated me.
Here's how you use it:
1. Download the .Zip file to your computer.
2. Extract the contents and copy the contained .Exe to your phone
3. Use jgermuga's PTT remap instructions found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1577293&postcount=12
4. For the \HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C7 key set the (Default) value to "\Path\To\KeyLock.exe" (Obviously replace \Path\To\ with the appropriate path, mine was "\Temp\")
5. Also add a string called ResetCmd with the same value.
I used "MobileRegistryEditor" to edit the registry on my Tilt. Also included in the .Zip is the source code in case you want to compile from source, audit the code, or just don't trust me. Compile it yourself if you wish.
With the above steps you can have a simple method to lock and standby your phone: Hold down the PTT talk button for just about 1 second then quickly tap your power button. As soon as the application begins launching your phone is already being locked so you do not have to wait for it to display anything other than the spinning "please wait" wheel. Power it off right away.
This has made my life significantly easier, and I hope it helps yours!
Enjoy

Hmmm, doesn't seem to be working to well for me.
I orginally had setup up the 40C7 to open my "File Manager" (which worked fine)
SO I reset the value to "\Program Files\KeyLock.exe" where I had placed the file.
I ran the program.. it asked me if it was ok to run I told it yes... Scratched my head for a minute wondering what happened.. Went back to the post realized I missed step 5 "5. Also add a string called ResetCmd with the same value."
So I created a new string ResetCmd with the Value "\Program Files\KeyLock.exe" restarted the phone.. when I press the button now the loading thing comes up and the screen seems like it either flashes or flickers.. and nothing happens..
Than tried reseting the phone by pressing the little button at the bottom, after it booted up still no luck.
Let me know your thoughts... ( I used mobile registry editor as well )
What language is this programmed in, I'll just get the software from my work and see if I can play with it a bit...
OH and FYI running AT&T's Stock loaded Windows Mobile 6 Professional.
or you can download devicelock1.2, and map it to one of your hardware buttons. pretty much uses the built in device lock, but it makes it available so you can map it to a button, thus no need to use stylus to lock.
no need to unzip, just drag the file into your phone and install.

Where would I get this?
^ i updated my post, its attached now.
Ty, I ended up searching the forums for it and found it. I'll give it shot and post back in a few.
Thanks Device Lock 1.2 Works Like a Champ. TYVM for your help sir.
Hmm whats the deal with the beeping noise right before it initates the locking?
(I take it back, I like the beeping noise..)
Whats the deal with if you have it on EASY unlock. and Black Screen
When you hold down PPT to have it lock... then after it the screen goes black you press ppt again... Your easy lock is than disabled?
(I should probably post this in the Device Lock 1.2 orignal thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305402&highlight=device+lock)
I'm honestly unsure why it would not lock your device although I did set up a numeric PIN for my device which it prompts me to enter. Try running the .exe from the Program Files directory if you're still interested. If it doesn't lock your phone then I'm unsure why.

Yea I had tried that too. But the Device Lock 1.2 seemed to have solved my problem. Thanks though.
Hi:
Sorry if this is a dumb question. When you use DeviceLock, do you still have to press the power button to wake up screen before unlocking? I hate that power button, it is too hard for me to find sometimes lol.
Thanks!

when you use device lock, it will lock your phone and dim it, not turn off the screen. so you do not need to press the power button to wake it up before unlocking.
there are options in the settings that will let you turn off the screen when you lock, but i dont think that is what you want. leave that setting unchecked.
I can't use voice dialer when S2U2 locks phone, is there a way around this? I like the S2U2 application, but when I am driving and need to make a phone call via bluetooth handfree I can't, because s2u2 block the voice dialer.
I did look for a solutions via the search engine and in the s2u2 thread, but no luck thus far.
which device?
which ROM?
which voice dial app?

Thanks for your response,
HTC 8925 (Tilt)
Dutty's Touch AT&t beta 2
Cyberon Voice Speed Dial V1.2 build 070626
The newest version of S2U2 v0.95 offers a solution to this problem by adding the ability to use exceptions to temporarily disable S2U2.
1) Install the new version.
2) Run iLock2 to close the application.
3) Use a registry editor:
Under \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2U2, find an open ExceptionEXE(0-9) (STRING). I used ExceptionEXE3. Enter the value: "SDDialer.exe" (this is the application that runs when you press the button on your bluetooth headset).
4) Run iLock2 to restart the application and you're done.
Thanks to tompol for discovering this solution. I first tried it by entering the value: "Voice Speed Dial.lnk", but this didn't work.
Hello,
i have another problem with S2U2 on my Kaizer, and i think i created it but cannot get through it. After i did some changes on the S2U2 settings now every time the lock goes on and even if i open the settings i get a black screen and can not do anything. If i press the power on button to turn off the screen and then on, i get the S2U2 screen but frozen, with out any animation! I have tried to remove and re-install the application but i get the same response from the program. Could someone give me some help, because i really like the application but can not use it...
TIA,
Nikos.

did you turn on the directdraw option or safe mode option?
When you uninstall an app, it leaves behind the registry entries. As soon as you reinstall the app, those settings are in affecct again. Uninstall the app, use a registry editor to remove the following key, soft reset, then try to reinstall:
The key to remove is HKCU\Software\A_C
Ok, I had the exact same problem, the problem is indeed with D3D option, you need to disable it. As soon as it is off and the settings are saved, the program works fine once again, and smoother then previous version.
This part is gonna be hard to explain... but here it goes...
First thing to do is run ilock so that when u turn the screen off it doesn't start S2U2.
When you open the settings the screen freezes, like the kaiser crashed, but if you move down and you turn the screen off and on, you'll see the menu scrolled down.
Basically that means u're working blind, changes do occur but u can't see, so the process is to move it down, turning the screen off and on sistematically until u see the d3d option and turn it off, then save it.
Hope I explained myself enough.
Takes some work, but doesn't require registry tweaking and other settings are kept.
Keep posted on results.
Cheers, Esko

Thank you both for your fast and details replies!!!
It was indeed the direstdraw option. It was easier for me to try eskostar's method, especially since i had tried the same blind procedure but i did not figure the trick with running the ilock first!!!
Everything worked out great!!! Now i can use this excellent program again!!!
Thank you again!!!
Cheers, Nikos
I have this problem. When I start S2U2 and miss call screen remains as it is when someone call (caller's number and slide to answer or two buttons with green and red phone). Whatever I push or click nothing happens. So I must softreset or turn off and on my Kaiser. Some tips?
Sorry I dont have that issue. However my problem with this version of S2U2 is when SLide to Answer is Active you can still use the Hardware Keys to answer!
Anyone no how to deactivate the Hardware keys during Slide to Answer?

if any of the apps in the exception list are running, not just in the foreground, even if they are running in the background, then [email protected] will not enable. Check your exception list, make sure none of those apps are currently running, then try again. If you still have issues after that, then it's with S2U2, not the exception list.

Very well done.
Apparently Internet Explorer was still running, and as soon as I closed that it ticked off. May consider removing that key, as I don't see why I would need it.

Good deal, glad it worked for you....
when I install S2U2 (i go thru phases where I want it, then phases of "get it off my Tilt") the first thing I do is remove the exception for PIE.
FYI.... Likewise, if you run any of the Cube or TouchFlo variants out there, you will need to put an exception into the TouchFlo settings for S2U2. What happens if you don't is when you try to slide to unlock (or slide to answer) you end up invoking the Cube or TouchFlo, instead of S2U2. Just an FYI for you....
Thanks for the tip. Am still looking into wicked programs so far, only had it two weeks and it's already been through the mod ringer.

that's the way to do it. I've been using PPC devices for years and years and everytime I get a new one, I try every hack, reg edit, tweak, and app possible.
so i downloaded the CAB file and installed. but it doesnt appear. i still have the bland home screen. i did a soft reset and nothing. any help?
in my mind i followed the instructions from this link http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-htc-home-plugin-v1-0.html to a "t".
it cant be this simple...
I dont suppose you went to Settings > Personal > Today > Items(tab) and adjusted your settings.

Connect device to PC. Use Active Sync to move the (unopened/unextracted) CAB file to your device (storage card or if not main memory).
Then on the device use file explorer to find the CAB and tap on it to install it. Choose install to main memory for this CAB.
AND follow above posters advice to ensure the plugin is set to show on the Today Screen.

not that simple

already done that.
ditched the original link and downloaded schen's version on these very forums. so far so good!
look for schen's HTC Home at pocketemu.com. Then download HTC Home Customizer from the same Link and use it to customize your HTC Home.

2 ways
HHC can do it for you under one of its tabs
or
Go to the weather tab on HTC Home, tap on your city name and change it from the Menu option corrosponding to the right soft key.
Play around with it first and see if you can figure things out.
I downloaded the home plug and schen's cab, but the today screen only appears as the HTC home plug should appear. I tried reinstalling the cab file, but nothing changed. I can't find it under settings.
:EDIT:
I'm not even gonna bother deleting my previous post here. That was dumb of me. I thought I was to look around in the settings... Then I checked programs. You may now bash.
Screen not responding to the stylus?
I can not for the life of me get my stylus to work on my tilt. this is my first touch device but im sure its not hard. i can tap the screen and im fine but when i go to use the stylus it wont respond. could i have disabled something by accident?
Have a screen protector??? May need to adjust the sensitivity. Don't have the exact key, but I know it's in several posts. try filtering your search with the term pressure threshold.
No, it happened to me today too
Tilt w/Duttys latest.
I was reading email, when suddenly the touch screen stopped working. I could use the DPad, but no response to touch. Opened and closed the keyboard, still no response. Soft booted and it went back to normal.
I have had it happen 2 or 3 times on my tilt with dutty previous release. Rebooted and it went back to normal.
The problem is usually related to FTouchFlo, a simple soft reset cures the issue. If you don't have FTouchFlo installed, I'm not sure what could be causing it
I can also say that the issue is coming from touchflo. happened to me twice before so i've just disabled touchflo and hasn't happened since.
Me too!!!

I did everything in it, but sometimes my screen stops and freezes for a few seconds. Sometimes it gets so bad that it freezes like every 20 or 30 seconds when I am typing something using the stylus. I don't think I have touchflow because I never installed it. I just have the stock HTC rom.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.

is there a way that i can see the uptime of my Tytn2?
it looks like my tytn2 is (soft)resetting itself.
i had a few times now that i had to enter my PIN again. So when it happens again i want to look at the uptime.
Does anybody know if this is possible, ether by installing software or by default in Windows Mobile(6.1).
after some more searching i desided to look for a program to display uptime, pitty that windows mobile doesnt have it itself.
I tried 2 programms now, but they both are not giving the correct time after some time.
Till now i tried uptime meter and myuptime.
If anybody knows one that works correct with WM6.1!?
I used this for a long time: http://ae.inc.ru/uptime.php
AEBplus also has a "status" screen that will display it: http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php

I'll check this out too, I'm always curious how long the phone has been up myself. No negative effects from this program I assume?
I wrote a MortScript to record bootup time at startup, but never got around to writing something to then compare current time to the last recorded time to get uptime.

Never seen any... I've been using the Uptime plugin since my Wizard days about 3 years ago. Now that I use AEBPlus for my hardware key shortcuts I removed the plugin as it was redundant.
I find the "uptime since last full charge" even more interesting... and it has helped me troubleshoot problems with programs running in the background several times. Look at uptime, put phone in standby, wait 5mins, turn on and check again - uptime should not have changed, or at least a lot less. If it has, some program is preventing the phone from standing by...
At some point I found out S2U2 would cause the phone to log about 2 hours of uptime overnight, at least I could understand why my battery life had gone down and got rid of it...

Never used AEBPlus, does that allow you to "pop up" Today plugins at the press of a key? I discovered when I tried to install the program today, it doesn't show up in SPB Pocket Plus, and I have no room on my today screen outside of it. I could maybe do SecondToday, but that seems like a lot for this.. Oh well.

AEBPlus runs as a program in the background with program setup in start menu\programs, the program allows you to allocate up to 4 programs and functions like up time, backlight etc to hardware buttons, so you can map any program in start menu.
Just an eg as i have set:
Hardware key
Start:
single press: start menu
double press: Total Commander
tripple press: Task Manager
Longpress: Backlight
Internet:
Opera Mini
Opera Mobile
Skyfire
Uptime
Messaging:
Messaging
Mobilepad
galarm
Touch Calendar
OK:
Ok/Close
Wi-Fi
BT on long
PTT:
Taskfacade
Nodata
Sat Nav on long
So i hardly ever have to go anywhere near the Start\Programs group as anything else like Media is Start Menu.
All in all makes phone very user friendly

wth, HOW did I miss this program. I used to do exactly this in PalmOS, I think I could triple-load each key, but this you can do four actions per key. Now my problem will be forgetting which is which!
And what's funny is after I got finished setting all the overloaded applications on the buttons, I then realized "oh, this was to get uptime, where is that?" and finally added it to a button too.
Thanks!

Glad you like & got it tweaked, makes me wonder why M$ doesn't make things user friendly in the first place? "we all know the answer to that"
Know what you mean about forgetting, everything has become second nature to me now "mind u found it a test of mem writing it down"
Oh yeah in the install directory is a .cfg file back it up somewhere so if you ever flash again or have to hard-reset you don't have to set everything up again
Read first
little advice for those of you, like me, who like to download and install before reading. do not install the free version of aebplus on your kaiser, program won't work, and you will have to do hard reset to bring back some of your hardware buttons.
You need to use the current version (2.6.6), and simply leave it unregistered. I don't really know why he leaves that 4-year old 1.0.1 version available.
excellent, it works great, thanks.
AE Button Plus is nice, but it just causes problems for me. It's entirely possible that it's a combination of the other programs installed, but I'm having a few issues
Sometimes buttons are being completely ignored, or very slow to respond.
StyleTap doesn't receive remapped button presses at all
Scrolling with the volume button seems to randomly lock up the PPC requiring me to pull the battery (soft reset won't do)
Soft resets in general are very finicky, having to do them multiple times for the phone to finish booting
All of which went away after I uninstalled. Oh well... Maybe there's some alternative program. For now, I'm back to using the Buttons function in SPB Plus which allows me to add "Hold" to each button.

Strange i imagine it is something else that is affecting AEButton Plus, i'm running M2D the only issue did have was with regards to OK button, wanted to map long press to Wi-fi and double to BT for convienience, but found that Wi-Fi would be very much a pop shot on load but double press and all fine.
(nothing against aebuttonplus here.. but u do have to register it, and its meant to handle button assignments) lets bring this thread back on topic shall we. showing device uptime.
I wrote a mortscript that shows you the current uptime... it does exactly what your looking for without having to install a whole program to do it (assuming you have mortscript installed already)
