Hi Guys!
Any ideas if and where i can set the GPRS/UMTS connection timeout on the Breeze?
The bloody bastards from O2 decided to start time-billing for data-traffic based on "am i attached to the GPRS/UMTS APN or not". So with just checking my e-mails twice a day.. about 100kb traffic or 5minutes real connection time i ended up with 5-10hours costs per day. My bill was an amazing 780€ this month and i have to fight for the next half year to get that sorted. In the end i will probably have to find a new provider...
People with O2 Genion Card S and the standard data traffic settings should be extremely carefull when using the Breeze. It could end up in a nightmare and for me it did.

Hi,
i haven't found an option for automatic timeout (disconnecting) yet...
only what i can give you is that hint:
made a shortcut to the datadisconnect exe file in windows folder and don't forget to use it after syncing mails...
i know... thats no solution for automatic syncing but i haven't a solution yet ...
maybe if i have time i can programm a small app (or maybe you can do that too??) where you can enter a timeout time and after that all data connections turned of or so...
steve
Hi Steve!
Can you give me the full path and exact name to that datadisconnect thing? I couldn't find it at a quick glance with the file browser.
I also couldn't find a setting for the GPRS/UMTS connection timeout, but i am sure it is possible to set that up somewhere / somehow in the registry.
If i'd knew the right key, it would be pretty easy to write a small application to set that value.
Bests,

in windows folder -> DataDisconnect.exe
have searched but haven't found any hint to automatic data disconnection...
maybe this helps...
didn't tryed..

ok didn't work....
but i have read something that this programm only a reg key edits...
Hi!
After a lot of googling and having a close look at that PhoneEdition program you pointed me to, i think these registry keys are promising:
HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\
DWORD CacheTime
60 - Timeout in seconds
String SuspendResume
~GPRS! - Always On
GPRS_bye_if_device_off - Timeout after CacheTime
HKCU\ControlPanel\PhoneExtendFunction\
DWORD NoGPRSAutoAttach
0 - Search GPRS/UMTS on start of radio
1 - Search GPRS/UMTS on start of data connection
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\
DWORD Flags2
0 - No disconnect button & time of connection in bubble
8 - Show disconnect button in bubble
16 - Show disconnect button & time of connection in bubble
The last key might only work on PhoneEdition devices and not on Smartphones.
Haven't tried any of these yet, as the data access is naturally blocked at the moment with my SIM card and i still have to find the right registry key to unlock the write access to these keys (and nothing else). Didn't want to take any risk in building up a 2000€ bill for May just because O2 is stupid.

regkeys for unlocking the applock of the mteor you'll find in the wiki what i have filled up...
also theres an app sda unlocker you find it trough google (madaco)
enter the reg values with the phmreg editor (stk2 version - whats exactly the different... i have no idea...)
then start the sda unlocking tool...
also theres an app available checklock... with that you can check if the phone is app locked...
the other reg keys i give a try... because i have a montly datasize what i can use i have no problems
HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\
DWORD CacheTime
60 - Timeout in seconds
String SuspendResume
~GPRS! - Always On
GPRS_bye_if_device_off - Timeout after CacheTime
should work...
i have issued a few funny things...
after the 60 seconds the connection seems to be disconnected... the small bandicon on signalstrengh while dataconnection is up disapears...
also thats the funny thing... it seams to disconnect when exiting a webpage or exit the explorer....
Hi!
Well i gobbled together a small .Net CF 2.0 C# application to set the SuspendResume, CacheTime and the NoGPRSAutoAttach last weekend.
Once my device is unlocked i can give it a try with a different SIM and see if it does what it should do. How about "OhPoo - Connection Tweaker" as a name?
Bests,
TobsTec
OhPoo ??
what exactly can the program? only set the reg values ?
* Set GPRS/UMTS connection to AlwaysOn or Timeout in seconds.
* Set the GPRS/UMTS coverage search to
"on radio start" or
"on data connection"
* Enable/Disable separate icons for GPRS/EDGE and UMTS/HSDPA.
Nothing fancy... I should in fact continue working on KeePassSD, but that 780€ phone bill annoyed me quite a bit and there is still the may bill to come, which might look the same: OhPoo KanDoo! Hm, maybe not particularly funny.
I could attach a snapshot, if i would know how. Doesn't seem to work for me.
Cheers,
TobsTec
just pack it into a .zip file... than you can attach the file when writing a replay!
in "Additinal Options"
if you meant that ...
Ah my mistake... The editor does not seem to work with FireFox and/or WebWasher.
Cheers,
Tobias
if you send me the programm i will test it for you...
also i have some other ideas that you can insert in your program....
i'm to addled to write my own programm... beside of that its nonsense to write 20 programms wich all does other things...
made a few more buttons... set the reg tweaks with it ...
app unlock, power save, ...

Nice! this is really nice solution. Thanks..
Sorry, should have posted the download links here as well.
The utility is now just called ConnTweak and the binary for WM5 Smartphones can be downloaded here:

Hi!
I'm new in WM6 world so my question may be simple but.....
Upon migration from Treo 650 to TyTN II, I've moved all my Calendar from Palm Desktop to Outlook using Calendarmirror.
Then I'm trying to sync it into TyTN.
If I accept to have it sync'ed from 6-months back onwards, it works fine - it takes some few minutes but it works.
Problem is if I want - and I do need - to have ALL my calendar entries copied into TyTN II (which means also item that date back some years). It runs 15-20 minutes before I decide to stop the process. No signs of progress is shown.
I am not sync'ing to a server, just locally.
What is your experience ? Is it common ? Can it be solved somehow ?
Please consider that I have some 2300+ elements in Calendar, a material part of is recurrent.
Thank you for your help.
Do you have outlook open when you sync?
If you do, try closing it. I've heard of slowdown issues when you have it open.
I have over 6000 calendar entries and syncing does take a LOOONNNGGG time. However, this should be mostly a once-off issue - after this is done, it only syncs the differences. A long time for me may be over an hour.
The only fly in the ointment is when I get the dreaded "changes at server require full resync" (or something that sounds like that), then I just have to wait. And Wait. And wait ...
I have come from the land of Symbian where everybody agreed syncing was cra9, I though life would be so much better on the m side. I was wrong, syncing is cra9 everywhere and - knowing a little about this - I remain pessimistic as to it getting much better in the future :-(
I migrated from a 700p and had the same problem. It would just hang on syncing the calendar. I could have tried leaving it there for a couple of hours, but after an hour and no visible progress, I gave up.
I ended-up purging my old appts from my palm and resyncing. I guess I'll never know what the date of my last few haircuts were...
When I close a Word Mobile or RTF-file there is a delay in 20-30 seconds. If I have made any changes and save them insted, it´s the the same result, but then there is the extra time for saving as well.
This problem appeared a couple of weeks after I saved several Word-documents to RTF-format.
The resaon to save them in RTF-format is that it takes 1 second to open and save them instead of 30 seconds to do the same thing with Word-Mobile documents.
I did a hard reset and the problem dissapeared (for about a month) but now I´m back in the same situation.
There is a lot of work involved in doing a hard reset on my part (many, many settings), so does anyone else have a solution?
/Danne
does this happen if the RTF file is on the phone memory and not mini sd
Also, do you have a lot of documents on the device?
When you close a Word file, it brings you back to the file listing that shows all of the Word-openable files on your device. If you have a lot it can take a while to generate that list.
You can cut this down somewhat by filtering the files. Menu > Options > Display in List view:
I have around 60 files that are not default on Kaiser (90% of them are Word-files and 10% RTF-files). All of them are saved on Kaisers own memory and not any memory card.
I now copied one of the RTF-files to the memory card and tried to open and close it from there but the problem with the delay was still there (no soft reset in between).
When I close a Word-file I wind up wherever I had opened before (usually the File Explorer).
I never open Word or RTF-files from Word. I open them from the File Explorer from folders I have created. But the problem still persists even if I open them from Word and it´s list.
I don´t know if it makes any difference but I have set my PC to open RTF-files with Word, so I edit them with Word on my computer.
And as said, it works fine without delay for three weeks and then the delay starts. Frustrating.
And hard reset with all my settings takes 4-5 hours to fix.
/Danne
Solutions?
Isn´t it possible to reset only Word Mobile?
That´s the only program that causes problems.
Or can I copy some file/files or something after hard reset that concernes Word Mobiles default "settings", maybe some kind of template, and put them in a safe place. And then, when the problems set in, I can paste it over the by then problematic "files"?
I don´t want to to a hard reset every three weeks.
I was so glad when it worked with RTF-files because Word Mobile is so damn slow with regular Word-files that it´s ridiculous. Why is Hermes, Kaiser and Raphael equally slow with Word-files? One would expect improvements over the years.
Anyone know of any countdown timer software that will allow me to set 2 countdowns to do Tabata intervals?
A tabata interval is 20 seconds of exercise followed by 10 seconds of rest.
So you set 1 timer for 20 seconds, another for 10 seconds, and they countdown consecutively. You do this 8 times and you have a grueling 4 minute workout.
Anyone know of any Windows mobile/Raphael software that will allow me to do this?
Thanks.
I don't know of a software already set up for that, but you could write a simple mortscript that would count and then play a tone at the end of each interval, set it all in a loop to run the number of times you want(8).
Here is a java tabata timer.

An option
Hello!
A couple of months ago I created the attached application. It is as simple as ugly, if I would have more time I would create a better GUI, but it is doing what I wanted and it was created for me
It requires .NET framework 3.5
Delayed start: 1..10 seconds to put down the phone and prepare for the first round
Reps: number of cycles
Beep/Vibro: It plays \windows\default.wav file and/or vibrates when the ongoing interval is elapsed
Time1..Time4 four timer each can be set from 1 to 100 seconds, and cycle is 1-2-3-4
So for a tabata set reps to 8, time1 to 20 and time2 to 10, delayed start is optional
Hope you will like it.
Regards,
KZD
The application as is, please backup regularly, responsibilities are not mine, etc.
Will try it as I really need one ...
Thanx a lot ...
Well it's exactly what I needed
I'd like some advices about wich tools to use to develop and ... would you share your code to enable me to try and add some new functions (select sound, save parameters etc ...)
Nice - I am on vacation and need a way to keep my CrossFit workouts going while gone - this should help nicely. Thanks for sharing!

Here it is. Please inform me if you achieved anything with it.
And sorry about the delays, i did not check this tread for a while...
Why is it so hard to find, yet create, such a clock face. It was a a no brainier on the pebble and I understand the moto360 has such a watchface (at least the dual time part). The closest I have come is to use WatchMaker but I cannot overcome a few obstacles:
1. My local time, which course never changes, needs to be fixed to my local location. The best way I figure to do this is to assign my local location to one of the extra time zones, say location 1. Issues: I can only express the time in 24 hr format and the weather will be tied to the GPS location of the watch/phone.
2. My second time can be tied to another extra time zone, say 2. Again I can only get the time in 24hr format but I at least get weather at my location 2 since it is tied to the GPS.
So a compromise might be to live with the weather only in my current location but I would prefer a solution to use 12 hr time. Any solutions.
I know this is about a year old, but just ran into the issue myself. I used a custom script to solve the problem. Unfortunately, you have to hard code the time zone difference, although I'm sure you could get a lot more involved and use manipulation with the different time zone hour tags. But this is how I customized it to use a LUA script to hard code the timezone in. For example, if you're 6 hours apart...
({dh}>6 and {dh}-6 or {dh}+6)..":"..({dm}<10 and "0"..{dm} or {dm})
Hopefully you can make sense of that. Essentially you're using an if statement to say if the hour is greater than 6 subtract the 6 hour time difference, if it's less than 6 then add 6 since subtracting would give you a negative number. In LUA an IF <x> THEN <y> ELSE <z> turns into <x> and <y> or <z>. Also .. is the string concatenator, and unfortunately, {dmz} which is the minutes with leading zeros tag gets truncated when you treat it as text, so I used a second if statement to add back in the leading zero if necessary.
You'd just have to adjust the 6's in my example to match your respective time zone, so 3 hours would turn into...
({dh}>3 and {dh}-3 or {dh}+9)..":"..({dm}<10 and "0"..{dm} or {dm})
i was looking for a solution that used the time zones setup on the application instead of a hard coded one. I didn't find one, so I wrote my own script:
(string.sub("{tz1t}",1,-4) + 0 == 0 and "12" or string.sub("{tz1t}",1,-4) + 0 < 13 and string.sub("{tz1t}",1,-4) or string.sub("00"..string.sub("{tz1t}",1,-4) - 12,-2))..":"..string.sub("{tz1t}",-2)
this one does a two digit hour and a two digit minute by manipulating the time from the timezone tag provided by watchmaker. if you want timezone 2 or 3, simply substitute the 1 in {tz1t} with the 2 or the 3.
