Problem with phone settings/speeddial after crash. - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

After a phone crash, moving data to a sd card with activesync, i lost nearly all tabs on the phone settings. I just have the tabs to set the ringtone, services and the network selector. Settings like band/pin/pin2 etc are gone... Also when calling, you can use the numbers to look up a contact, this functionality is also broken. I'm using a stock rom and only have SPB shell installed. I also checked the registry in HLM/Software/OEM/phonesettings and all settings are set to 1. How can i fix this?

phone not alerting me of new sms

Hi
I'm using a norwegian version of this device, default HTC rom, not branded.
I've installed MioMap, AlenSoft QuickClock and HTC Dark Phone Pad International.
I use both the keylock and press the "off" button to turn off the display when I'm not using the phone.
Then after a month use without any trouble I find that from time to time the display turns on by it self. Not any scheduled callendar events, no new sms/mms, no new call (or missed call) and no sound alert, just the display turning itself on. But, if I go into the message center, it tells me that I've one new sms.
This is frustrating, since I often get sms messages related to work operations and rely on getting them in time. And it's frustrating to have to check manually all the time for new sms'es and not be able to rely on the phone telling me that I've got a new one.
So why don't the phone alert me with sound since it for sure have recieved a new sms? (yes the sound is on) And I guess it's the underlaying phone application that doesn't repport to the quickclock application (that displays the number of new sms'es on the home screen), so I don't see it even there, have to go all the way into the messaging application.
Another thing.
Active Sync is also running without my permission from time to time.
I don't sync my phone very often (just for file transfer) and I have unchecked all elements so that it should not need/try to sync them.
I also find that the device is slowing down after 5-6 days. The respons on my screen tapping is slow and not precise. I don't have many files and try to delete the inbox/sent elements/deleted elements every other day to keep it small. I do have a storage card, sandisk 6GB micro sdhc. (working great).
I suspect that this has to do with active sync running in the backgrund when not needed, so I go to start - settings - system - memory, select running programs and end the active sync from there. After a couple of minutes the device is up to speed again.
Any thoughts on this problems? Solutions?
Thank you for any feedback on this.

Saving Problems

On my phone, I have a problem with the contact list, I delete all the contacts on there already (the default contacts you get when you buy a new simcard like Directories, Show Balance, Voicemail etc.) and add my contacts on there, when I turn it off and switch it back on the list goes back to the default list again. Also, I tried it with my Bluetooth name (naming my device), when I restart it goes back to the default name after.....
Help please?

What ROM are you using? Where are you storing your contacts? Maybe you are adding your new contacts to SIM card and the program is setup to hide SIM contacts.
I'm using Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid UC RTM

2 phone related issues

1. is there any option/tweak to have contacts saved in phone memory automatically saved in the sim card too ? so much rom flashing gave me a pain in the but after loosing several phone numbers (p.s. automatically save new number to contacts doesn't work too .. maybe cause i use the standard winmobile dialer ?)
2. does the diamond have the basic "redirect calls" option? i've looked for it in settings > phone > services but i can't find it
p.s. searched the forum but didn't find anything related
1. an alternative is a program call PPCPimbackup (free)which will back up all your contacts/sms/call logs/appoinments/tasks/. search google for it.
2. try in Call Forwarding

No Service and phone no longer working as a phone

Hi all
I've had the phone for over a year (from Vodafone UK) and it's been working fine 99% of the time. However, yesterday it suddenly displayed "No Service" and the following started happening:
- can't press "Phone" or the green dial button - therefore I can't make or receive calls
- can't press "Contacts" or access contacts in any other way
- can't get ActiveSync to run
- googlemail account only connects when I do send/receive - but I can't change the settings
- incoming text messages display the number of the person and not their name (hence methinks the SIM or phone memory isn't being recognised)
- can't access Tasks or Calendar (neither will they display on the home page)
- when I try to launch Tasks via Business Appls I get this error "No program memory available. Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Memory, stop programs that did not automatically stop, and try again." - but this achieves nothing
- and generally the phone is no longer usable as a phone
Have spoken with Vodafone support who reckon the device is faulty and needs to be sent back to Vodafone.
Have checked the SIM in another phone and it worked fine (albeit with no contacts on it - which I'm thinking is because they're all on the v1615 but not being recognised?).
Is this a known fault? Is it a case of restoring to factory default (which would be a pain because I spent ages last year getting it set up how I like it)?
Any advice much appreciated (especially as this is my first post)
Thanks
SC
Sounds like you do have to restore it to factory Just make sure to backup youre contacts, sms, mail and so on. Move files you need to pc or sd card. If you planing on having a certain setup on youre phone you should take backup of its state when you have installed all apps and so on whit Spb Backup or simulare of youre choice.
Anyway, I would not for the world send it in before I had tried to hard reset. VERY odd if they didnt recommend you todo so on phone?
Thanks Raiisak
I can't access any contacts (or notes, tasks, calendar stuff) on the phone itself, so I'm assuming Exchange will keep hold of these. I've copied all other files onto my SC Card ... but how do I copy SMS's?
SC
search for PIMBackup...an excellent backup/restore tool for sms and contacts and a lot more.

Bloatware & sending MMS

I removed the bloatware, and got my phone all set up, but I can't receive MMS messages. I can send them, but when people send them to me, I never receive them (it never even tried to connect to MEdia Net to retreive it.)
I have gone through the steps to enable/disable the proxy, and I can connect to the device.home page in the browser, but still no MMS. Any ideas on why this happens? My MMS settings look like they're configured correctly...
btw, this happened a year ago when I removed bloatware, so I went to AT&T store, and they had no idea (also confused by my SPB mobile Shell) & ended up resetting & keeping bloatware. I also know it's not my service, because it worked fine with the bloatware, and I put my SIM car in another phone and receive with no issues

So you think that AT$T has a different , separate MEdia Net server with different server settings for every model of phone that it sells ?
Sorry, I meant that I don't know where I can use those settings. Everything in that link you sent me that looked familier, I had seen before trying to fix this (the username and pass, for ex), and I tried to enter the IP address before in the menu I found to enter it, and it wouldn't let me send mms at all.
I have yet to find a WAP settings menu to change the things that link tells me to change. When I goto the GPRS settings, I only have 2 check boxes (PAP or CHAP auth.)
Start\Settings\Connections\Connections then just edit the settings.
maybe I'm just stupid, but I can't get this to work. I've found cab files that people said work to automatically set up the settings. I've manually done the settings other people said to put it.
I tried to decipher the link you sent me, and input the settings in it, but I only have a couple of those menus and settings, so unable to use it. I don't want to, but I'm worried I'll have to re-install all of the bloatware again, because it seems like it's the only way to get this thing to work...
Use the files from this thread.. Or change your radio or something.. That link should help you.

I installed the cab. It put my network back to 3G instead of HSPDA (even though it's set in Kaiser Tweaks to be on HSPDA), and I still can't receive pics
