BlueTooth Icon not there after softreset!

Hi have have a problem with my Bluetooth ICON not being in the task bar (bottom right), I have norrowed it down to be a today plug in called PocketBreeze (One of the best pices of software I have found for the Pocket PC, take a look: http://www.sbsh.net/products/pocketbreeze/)
It does work 100% on a few friends XDA II's but not on mine.. I have done a hard reset and all. A few people are having this problem, I have spoken to the developer and he is trying to find a way to fix this problem... Does any one know what it might be or how to fix it?
This is what I have found:
Basically if the device is booted up with PocketBreeze loaded I do not get a Bluetooth Icon on the bottom right of my screen, If PocketBreeze is disable when loading the OS I do get the Bluetooth Icon loaded. (once the OS has loaded up I can then load PocketBreeze with no problems works 100% with Bluetooth Icon)
Regards
Fudge!

No one has any ideas as to why the Bluetooth Icon would disapeer? could it be some sort of loading order problem or somthing like that? is there a way to try and change this? E.g. if PocketBreeze is loaded before Bluetooth in the registory could I rename PocketBreeze to say ZPocketBreeze so it might load last or somthing like that????
Regards
Fudge!

RE
HI,
FYI, I do not have this problem in using PocketBreeze.

i have b4 , my solution just import the my old REG FILE, may be another expert can point out where is value .

Hi Guys thanks for the reply, I have some friends that have not had this problem and some that have. I have been unable to work out what trigers it to happen as yet...
Has any one found that Reg entry that ttt340 mentioned?
Any help is appreciated!
Regards

Hi there,
I don't use pocket breeze but I have the same problem with PI Today from Deje. When this Today plugin is installed, I loose my Bluetooth icon on the Today screen. I had some support mails from the developer but he couldn't solve it.
Somebody suggested that there were too many in the Todayscreen but removing items there (even in the registry) didn't do the trick.
Teguru from tekguru.co.uk came with a handy sollution:
PocketZenPhone which is freeware. It is a plugin for the Today Screen with phone profiles. You can make a profile with bluetooth on. It works great! You can find the PocketZenPhone here on this forum (it has a thread of 102 pages!)
Wouter

thanks for the reply wouterk, I also got told about the to many things on the today screen but it also did not fix the problem.
Thanks for the sujestion about the extra today plugin that could fix the problem but I might wait and see if any one else has any ideas as every today plugin I add makes my Pocket Breeze smaller and smaller :-(... Never enough room... LOL
Many thanks!
Fudge!

Ok fudgebottom,
You're welcom.
I must say I'm very happy with PocketZenPhone but you're right that the today screen is always too small! :lol:

Vijay555 tools

Sorry not sure how to use the tools on Vijay's site, i've installed the VJPhone tools, which creates a few shortcuts in a folder, now do i edit these shortcuts or what? if so how, and how do i put these shortcuts on my Today screen.
thanks.

ump, have a look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=26972&highlight=vjsms
Basically, you first need an explorer that will edit shortcuts.
I highly recommend GSFinder+.
Install that and navigate to \windows\start menu\programs\vijay555\vjphonetools
Then, choose the program you want, select the shortcut, choose copy and then choose paste. It will make a copy of that shortcut.
Edit that 2nd shortcut (so that you preserve the original shortcut as an example. Reinstall the cab if you foobar that one up by accident).
Edit the shortcut according to the description on my page, www.vijay555.com.
Just double clicking on any of the original files in \program files\vijay555\ will bring up a message box describing basically how to use each app.
I've got a forum on my webpage. You can post there, pm or email me, or always catch me here if you need help.
V

thanks, i'll give that a go.

cool, seems to be working, how do i change the shortcut icon and add a name on it.
thanks for your help.

What launcher app are you using?

hi, sorry i dont really know what a lancher app is, which do you recommend?

VJ,
Where can I find GSFinder? I tried google and it keep giving me a site that leads to a Japanese site. I can't read Japanese. Can you please direct me on the right link?
Another question, can I install GSFinder on my SD Card and run it from there?

http://page.freett.com/todamitsu/GSFinderE.htm
GreenSoftware is great! yes, AFAIK you can stick gsfinder anywhere. I recommend a copy in Extended Rom just in case you screw everything and/or lose your SD card (which I've done), and need some way to explore around.

Thanks very much Vijay!

VJVolubilis
Dear Vijay,
I'm useing your tool, VJVolubilis and it does not work as I hoped.
When I use VJVolubilis -agon (or -agcon) I hear the sound over my bluetooth headset briefly. It also starts Voice Speed Dialer and as soon as that ends, the sound no longer goes over my headset, but through my phone again. Hope you can help me out.
I have a HTC Universal, Original T-mobile MDA Pro (dutch)
Rom: Imate 1.13.52 WWE, radio: 1.03.01.
Bluetooth Headset: I-Tech Arrow 1
Download VJVolubilis versio 0.21
Thnx in advance ....

sharky48: you need to post this in the VJVolubilis thread.
There is a registry hack in that thread to fix this issue (temporarily). I will make this feature automatic in VJVolubilis quite soon... when I get some time to update it.

MS Voice Command when unit is closed?

Hi all, I am new to this forum.
I own a Dopod 900, and currently trying to get MS Voice Command to work properly with my unit. I believe one of the problem with this application is that it does not respond to command while the unit is in closed mode (the pda screen in inside). Is solution to this problem already available?
I have searched the forum but have not been able to find any solution. I apologize if I missed it, please kindly point me to that posting if there is any.
Any advise is greatly appreciated.
- Josh :?:

From what I've read so far there isn't a fix I'm afraid. It's not fully compatible with WM2005 and will just have to wait for an update from Microsoft :-(

Thanks for your reply. That's too bad. I really have high hope that there is a solution for just this one problem, as there are already tweaks for the other problems. Being unable to receive command in closed mode really make MS Voice Command very much less usable. Too bad.
- Josh

I agree, but at least it's a step up with the other voice dial (that comes it with?). Couldn't do dialling from BT headset at all on WM2003 :-(

The "closed mode" doesn't bother me as I carry the Exec round in a Krusell case, with screen up. This allows me to instantly answer the phone when it rings (having seen who's calling first on the screen).
But there are a few more annoying problems with MS Voice Command 1.5 (I have UK version) present under Windows Mobile 5.0.
This one is unique to WM5.0:
- The first is when I try to call up a certain contact by "Show John Smith", it would show John Smith's contact under WM2003/03SE, but under WM5.0 it just shows blank screen on the Summary tab. This is still a proper contact, if you go to Notes tab, you see proper notes for this contact. You can press Edit and it will be edited... BUT, meanwhile if you just open Contact app, the ones you open are working great.
GBugger...
The following coupla' niggles are also present under WM2003/03SE.
- The days of week when answering "What date is it today" (somehow UK regional settings don't even have it, so I had to enable it in registry under NLS settings) -- all are announced correctly except Wednesday & Thursday, which are sounding simply as "Wed" and "Thu" instead of proper name.
- The signal strength for 1,2,3 and 4 "units" is announced as 30, 60, 90 and 100% correspondingly, instead of 25,50,75,100 which would seem more logical here. I don't know though if it's just caused by something real or an attempt to easily convert
That said, the application is enormously useful especially with the Krusell case, because the carrying shape for Exec in this case is PDA shape with screen up; but it's protected by screen cover of the case and you can't really write on the screen without opening the case -- so voice activation of programs and then controlling them by 5-way navigation control, is really a great way of using the Exec Examples of these programs are the eWallet (ever forgotten your PIN numbers or clothes size?) and speaking date/time, very convenient when you can't look down there.
Hopefully Microsoft corrects these small errors - the WM5.0 devices are the future.

Really, MS should have had this wrapped up ages ago. So disappointed. I want a device like the Exec, but with Voice Command fully working and A2DP sorted, and it's a shame I still can't get all this.
I was so used to the VC software on my JAM, shame the Exec is giving problems.
And I'm tired of tangling my headphones up...
MS, sort all this out already.

Copy the outres.96.dll into the windows folder and the contact will display correctly.

I'm sorry, but no, it doesn't work for me. Same effect as without outres.96.dll. And yes, I made a soft reset after copying it to the windows dir.
So the next question now is: how to remove the file again?
If I try to delete it, Resco Explorer says "Cannot delete file 'outres.96.dll'. The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file."
If the file is useless, then I want to remove it from the device. But it has been blocked by another process.
Thanx in advance

I had the same problem but saw the answer on a forum somewhere. After you have installed the dll and do a soft reset as it reboots for a short period it does a security check on the new dll and asks whether you really want to install it, if you answer yes then you will find the blank contacts screen problem is fixed. If you take your eyes off the screen at the end of the soft reset you will miss this security question a it defaults to No after a few seconds. Hope this helps.

I have answered 'yes' to the security check. Nevertheless the dll doesn't work for me. So I want to remove it now, but I can't because it's blocked by some process.

I've copied the file gnassel suggested into my Windows directory (using the explorer on my desktop pc).... rebooted the exec.. and voila.. it's working like a charm now.. My voice command shows the contact when I say : "Lookup XXXX" or when i call someone, it confirms the person and shows his information just fine. Norte I am usin the u.s. version of voice command 1.5.
Thanks gnassel !

This is a reply to my own posting above.
I did the soft reset using an application called 'psShutXP' (maybe someone knows it; one use it in order to switch off or soft reset the device). Voice Command's contacts mask doesn't worked.
A few minutes ago I soft resetted the device using the "original" reset hole. And voila: Voice Command works as expected!
So there seems to be a difference between "soft reset" using psShutXP and soft reset using the reset hole.
Sorry for the confusion. THE FILE OUTRES.96.DLL WORKS!
By the way: What exactly does outres.96.dll?
Best regards
tomestos

Many thanks gnassel, it works great..

The file was from OzVGA

Thanks for drawing attention to it and posting it, or I wouldnt have know..
Take a thanking damnit

Guys, where do I put the outres.96 dll file again? If I am using File Explorer there is a "WINDOWS" Folder from the very root with a lot of files. Is that the folder I am suposed to put the oures.96 dll file or just leave it outside in the main root?

hotvoice.exe for 8525?

I see the hotvoice.exe in the /Windows directory, but it doesn't seem to run for me... nor does it show up as a valid Button assignment. It worked fine on my 8125... did Cingular not include this in the ROM?
hotvoice.exe was linked as the Record button on the 8125. I can launch Notes and voice record from there, I just wanted a more direct way to get there.
Is there a way for me to copy it from my 8125?
Thanks,
Mike

What ROM are you on? If you do not use PTT, using the leaked Cingular 2.06 ROM then you can do the following. Remap one of your buttons to the app. You must create a shortcut to it first so that it shows up in the app list when you try to remap buttons. If you do not want to change your normal buttons try Sleuth's PPTFix to use the PTT button to launch the app.

I'm still working thru the info here as a newbie to the ROMS...
My Device info says ROM 1.34.502.1, however I'm not sure that corresponds to the general #'s I see flying around (I have read the Wiki, and while there's a lot of good info, its also written with a lot of assumption that you already know a lot of the lingo)....
Anyway, I have tried linking to the app from the Programs folder..and that link does show up in the Buttons list... but I can't get the app to launch, period

OK, you've got the stock ROM, look for and install Sleuth's PTTFix, create a shotcut to Hotvoice.exe on your 8525, and map the PTT button to the hotvoice app. It will only show after creating the shortcut in \Windows.

I've installed the PTTfix and the PTT button works fine. While this gives me extra buttons, this shouldn't be needed, should it? (ie. any reason why I can't assign Record to buttons 1-4?)
But hotvoice.exe will not launch.. I cannot launch it from the file explorer either.
Given that Record does not show up in the default list of buttons (as it does on the 8125), it seems like it doesn't work, at least not in the default ROM??

Yes, you can change them to whatever you wish, I was just providing another suggestion. I prefer to leave my standard buttons as they are.

Ok, so the basic problem is that it appears that hotvoice.exe does not execute on my Hermes (regardless of button assignment)
I guess the question is whether or not it is supposed to run on my stock ROM? and/or if there is a way to add it.
Thanks,
Mike

You need a shortcut that calls MSVOICE ( I found this in one of Sleuth's threads)... See below for link to shortcut... Note: you must copy it to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and map one of your buttons 1-4 to it. I read it will not work on button 5, so if you need to launch an app that you had mapped to its original button, you can remap that to 5 if needed. Note also that you will have a Record icon in programs, it doesnt work if you try to launch it from Programs, only by assigning to a button.

Weird.. I thought I had tried exactly that, about 5 times
But since it ain't broke no more, I'll stop trying to fix it.
Many thanks for your help!!

No problem, I found that the difference is in how the shorcut is made. If you look at the content by opening it with Wordpad on your PC for example... you can see differences in the shortcuts... some ppl where making shortcuts to hotvoice.exe and renaming the shortcut to Record.lnk, some were renaming wrong... but this works for sure.

hotvoice.exe not working
Mike & ercave1, I'm also looking into usign the hotvoice.exe. I have the new ROM, even downloaded the shortcut link and nothing happens. Via Resco Explorer, I first unhide the files to view hotvoice.exe. there I find the hotvoice.exe which is 3K, and hotvoice.lnk (14B) I create a new shortcut from the .exe to the start menu. Nothing happens, I used the shortcut that ercave1 recommended and nothing. Looks like the hotvoice.exe in the Cingular 8525 new ROM and perhaps original ROM does not work or is corrupted. Looking at the attributes, hotvoice.exe shows the following: Read-Only, Hidden, System, ROM. Any help would be greatly aprreciated.

How are you accessing the .lnk? Use the shortcut from the zip file.
You must place it in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs (this makes it visible in the button map app)
Then remap one of your buttons 1-4 to Record. Soft Reset.
I applied this today on my 8525 without a problem.

Yes, i unzipped the link from the file i downloaded, then i transferred it to the start menu. No luck on that. I also have a program called SKTools and there is an option to configure the 5 buttons of the 8525. It allows me to browse by file or by Alias. I noticed one of the ALIAS is :MSHOTVOICE. I tried that ALIAS along with another called :MSVOICE to no avail (I did a reset BTW). Do you have the new ROM or the original cause im not getting this hotvoice to work at all.

Don't understand what is happening I will try and create a cab to install this... I'm on the 2.06 PTT enabled ROM, but that should not matter...

Record cab
For those having problems creating the shortcut try this...
Install the CAB, then navigate to Start>Settings>Buttons then select one of the four buttons to modify and set it to Record, tap OK and test the button.
Let me know how it goes.

That fixed it for me.
Thanks.

Glad it worked for you, unfortunately it's not working for me. There must be a thrid party application or setting that must of corrupted the hotvoice.exe. Next time I do a hard reset, I'll give it a try. Thanks again ercave1 for your help.

Hi guys, I am new to this forum but have read and benefitted from some of your posts.
Zim,
Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but the Notes app is setup to do voice records on the 8525. I will grant you this... there are absolutely NO instructions about it in the manual so I had a hell of a time finding it, but through looking around I finally discovered this.
Just open Notes and then click Menu>Show Recording Toolbar. Now you can record voice records all you want and it puts them in your notes folder for review.
Then, of course, you can map any of your buttons 1-4 to the Notes app and, since you selected to show the recording toolbar, all you do is press the mapped button and then "New" and speak.
Hope this helps (someone).

cool thanks, this seemed to help.
it is odd for me the record short cut will not work directly but if map the button to it, it will work and as long as you hold the button in. it keeps recording till you are out of time.
as jwpetree said the the other way to use the recorder is to open notes 1st.
now to find a tweak to give more recording time.

TF3D photos tab keeps losing favourite folder

I have a problem where I have a folder on my storage card set as favourite on the photo tab in TF3D so I can see the pictures on the tab. When I create an activesync connection on disk mode and then disconnect the tab loses the favourite folder and so I have to re assign it through the album>select folders. If anyone knows of a fix for this I would be most grateful if they could share

same thing happens here, i'm thinking maybe changing the default location in adv cfg would impact the tf3d setting... gotta try that

Tried all of that, makes no difference. Must say I'm surprised this doesn't annoy the hell out of others.

You have to edit following registry key without running TF3D:
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\favorite_folder
For Standard Folder of the X1´s Camera it is:
\Speicherkarte\DCIM\100XPRIA
Just found this out today

Nice find. Changed mine to \Storage Card\DCIM\100XPRIA and it works great.

thanks i tried the change but the key simply reverts back to a value of [CAMERA] once you connect to a PC in disk mode. So i'm afraid it does not solve the problem

that´s right it doesn´t solve the problem
sorry but i guessed i found the solution.
i had to reset my device for an installation - and now it is the same as before [camera]
maybe it is an issue of the manilla-version.
the one i had before has not loose the own images...
well, i´ll try it with another manilla/tf3d-version now

Hi everybody,
i did a try with the TF3DHDB2.cab - and it works for a few seconds...
You have to edit following registry key without running TF3D:
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\favorite_folder
For Standard Folder of the X1´s Camera it is:
\Speicherkarte\DCIM\100XPRIA
To test the functionality i have often changed pannel, and did 5 resets of my X1.
This will be therefore only a solution if you use the TF3D above.
But if you will connect in usb-mode to the pc or any other device it will reset...
And you will have set to Active Sync Mode again before edit the registry..
... to be continued ...

I have found a bit of a work around to this. GO into album and Set 'all' as favourite. Any photos that you do not want to appear in the tab mark each file as 'hidden' using resco explorer. This way you will get to see the pictures you want showing on the tab. It sticks even after you connect and disconnect in disk mode
