Hi
While im waiting for my universal to arrive (need to wait for 7th of november :-() i have been rading though this forum.
I was just wondering, now that it seems like ringtones for contacts has been integrated into the contact software, is this a HTC implementation or is it a microsoft? would the the selection sync to outlook 2003 so i wont have to set it up everytime i hard reset?
Regards,

ive not tried contact ringers, but i do use the contact pictures, which does sync with oulook 2003, i shall experiment with ringers shortly
As far as I can see it does NOT sync the ringers with outlook. But maybe I am wrong.
After a hard reset I had to do them all manually.
If there is a solution for this I would be greatful.
Maybe the contacts database on the Jasjar can be backed up?

Just as i thought :-(
anyone knows if the ringetones support is integrated into wm5 or is it a htc add on?

you can store your ringtones on the root of your sd card....and can assign them to your contacts etc....thats a sly trick
so, you can preserve space on your device root....

And you think, after a hard reset, Outlook Mobile finds the ringtones where they were if they are on the storage card? Or better said: is the relation with the location synchronised/stored in the main outlook file?
When I search the Outlook fields on my PC I cannot find any field containing this information.
It is however a good advice to store them on your card because they take pretty much space.
I had the same problem on my Nokia 9500.

Ringtones on Storage Card
I used to put my rings (wma/mp3/wav) in the storage card. A problem I faced was that the Universal would sometimes need more than 5-10 seconds to wake-up/read the ring tone/play it/show the incoming-call-box.
I moved all the tones in my windows/rings folder and it is all okay now. I believe my MMC card is slow or may be it takes too much time after waking-up to power the card and read from it.
The tones are converted to smaller versions, so a 30secs ring i no more than 200-400k with good quality.

Dear all 818pro(ENG OS)
The reason causing memory card disappear problem is dopod built-in software.(inside Extension Rom)
Only one method to solve, hard reset the PDA but without installed any built-in software as follow:
Right now I hard-reset the PDA, until the password setup, and then the PDA begin install build-in software...soft reset immediately.
If you used above hard-reset method which don't installed any built-in software. You only lost:
1. Smart Dailer
2. Built-in Voice Commander
3. Autoconfig
4. clearvue pdf
I used two days and everything work fine. You may ask why I so sure? Because I noticed the speed of reading memory card is different before which listed below:
1. Before using above mentioned method: When the PDA turn on (In sleeping mode and phone on mode), it need 1-3 seconds to read the memory card. If you installed Today Plug-in Software, you may found that it need 1-3 seconds to detect the memory card.
2. After using above mentioned method: When the PDA turn on, the PDA detect the memory card simultaneously.
As a result, I can assure this method can solved the memory card disappear problem.
Some experience would like to share with all user:
1. I installed all programs in the ROM. If someone installed programs in the memory card, please let me know the result.
2. I can installed back the smart dialer software. Please search this forum to download.
3. When you connected GPRS, a 'Disconnect' button (and Timer) to the Connection List for GPRS is disappeared. You can make registry hack to switch back.
Add a 'Disconnect' button (and Timer) to the Connection List for GPRS
To add a Disconnect button:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 8 (DWORD decimal)
To add a Disconnect button and a timer display showing how long GRPS is in use for the session:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 16 (DWORD decimal)
To disable both the Disconnect button and the timer:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 0 (DWORD decimal)
4. PDA can detect 'Phone Service Provider' automatically. However, when you need GPRS, you need manuel setup. I used 'PEOPLES' which is Hong Kong Service Provider and take as a Example setup:
Go to Setting > Connections > Tap Connections
1. Choose > My ISP - Add a new modem connection
2. You need to enter > a Name (Which name you like) and Select a modem [Cellular Line (GPRS)] > Next
3. Acess point name : Peoples.net > Next
4. Ignore the user name and password. > Finish
Thanks for the Reg Hack!!! Worked perfectly on the Dopod 818Pro!!!!
Thanks!!!

Hi sas90850,
What a good job you've done! Excellent!
I'm wondering whether this topic is the instruction you said (WM5 smart dial)
or you could point out where I can download the smart dialer software and have an installation instruction, thanks.
I've 818Pro and would like to do the same "UPGRADE"... :wink:
Dear all user
you can download the built-in smart dialer software as following link. Make sure you download the "SmartDialing_enable_0915_signed.CAB" only.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=32458&highlight=smart+dialer
Copy the .cab file to PDA and install. Must soft reset. :wink:
If anyone installed software in the memory card, please post here whether the disappear problem is solved. :?:

Just to let everyone know that you already have this same file as well as the GPRS disconnect button CAB file in your own Dopod 818Pro's Extended_rom. You can browse and copy files in this hiden folder with GSfinder.
This worked for me also with the jamin. I soft reset after hard resetting and it gave me back rom and fixed the sd issue. Thanks
Edit: After soft resetting my device, the start menu once again doesn't show the correct icons for programs loaded on the sd card?? The programs will open and work but the icons are displayed?
Hi, this method seems to have solved most of my Jamin troubles too! Thanks!
I need just some help to get the GPRS timer: I don't find the registry. Is it in the HKEY_CURRENT USER OR THE HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE? I found the Control Panel\Phone, but not the "Flags 2" registry that needs changing as described.
Many thanks!
Dear Fidipaldi
You need to add a new registry. Make sure you use DWORD Value. The location is shown below.
Add a 'Disconnect' button (and Timer) to the Connection List for GPRS
1. To add a Disconnect button only:
Go to HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone
Add Name = 'Flags2' :arrow: DWORD Data = 8
2. To add a Disconnect button and a timer display showing how long GRPS is in use for the session:
Go to HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone
Add Name = 'Flags2' :arrow: DWORD Data = 16
3. To disable both the Disconnect button and the timer:
Go to HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone
Add Name = 'Flags2' :arrow: DWORD Data = 0
Dear mikewchandler
Question :After soft resetting my device, the start menu once again doesn't show the correct icons for programs loaded on the sd card?? The programs will open and work but the icons are displayed?
1. Copy the program *.exe file which installed in the SD Card.
2. Use File Explorer:
Go to Windows\Start Menu\Programs :arrow: Paste Shortcut
You will get the programs icon.
Dear SAS,
Many thanks for your help!!
It works great! I also managed to get the smart dialer back. The only application that is missing is Clearview.
So far my Jamin does not seem to crash on a regular basis as it did before. It must be the add on software that made the device crash.
Finally I can enjoy the device. Thanks again!
After 5 days. :lol:
Right now I installed a lot programs both in the ROM and SD Card and didn't find any disappear problem. :lol:
One more thing, I also found that the auto soft-reset seems gone too.
I will keep posting here and let you know the result. :wink:

Here's what I usually do on a new device or after a hard reset. I have about 10 progs on my sd card (total commander, tweaks2k2, etc...) and I have created shortcuts to them and placed them in a folder on my sd card. I then copy those and paste them in the /windows/start menu/programs folder and everything works well. I've noticed this quirky behavior on the jamin so far?
I did what you recommended by not installing the ext rom. I'm happy with a quicker device and more rom; however, I'm still having this little issue with the icons not appearing correctly in the start menu? Kind of strange. The white and blue default box is what's showing up (as if there is no shortcut icon) but the progs open just fine? :shock:
which program should we install
After Hard Reset and Review the extended rom,
There are serveral progarms avaliable for install
I just wonder what program from Extended Rom should we normally install in order to make phone become functional as the standard automatic install of extended rom?
Secondly, what each one of them is for? does anybody has information?
Thank you very much

The SD card problem seems disappear but it still soft resets itself after standby and battery charging for a while.

After 6 days used, I don't have any soft reset problem at all no matter in standby mode, sleeping mode and/or battery charging either the PDA is turn on/off......any condition.:roll:
re: Mike Chandler
Try this....
goto settings, menu and unclick just one of the programs in question. select ok and then checkout the start menu. Should be well again. Then go back and reselect your menu button you unclicked earlier. All is well. I'm not sure if this is a permanent solution or not but it does work.

Thanks Yes it worked temporarily and then after a soft reset...same. I've narrowed it down a bit. The progs show fine in the bottom of the start menu (recently run progs) but if I add them to the top part of the start menu, they show fine until a soft reset....then they don't again. What I also noticed is if I copy the .exe and paste it in the start menu it shows fine....the only problem was when I copied the .exe and pasted a shortcut to the .exe. Anyway, I've settled on a fix. A few of the progs that didn't display correctly, I've just added to ilauncher.
Don't spend any more brain power on it for now....it must be something specific to me as others aren't posting problems like this. Thanks again
@mikewchandler
First of all it's nice to see you again on this forum!
To fix your problem try installing Signed_IconsDll.sa.cab from the extended rom. This should fix your problem!
@ALL
Regarding the SD card issue, the problem seems to be originating from the file Signed_SD_Driver.sa.cab. Not installing just this cab will also solve the problem.
I would suggest installing the following cabs as well as these improve system stability or add functionality:
CAB-ConnectionSpeedMax.sa
CAB-Shortcut-MMS1-JAVA5XX-CV-Dopod........
CAB-WapPushSMS
Signed_Disable_ErrorReport.sa
Signed_DisconnectButton_3s.sa
Signed_IconsDLL.sa
Signed_PIE_View_Default.sa
Signed_Prophet_DopodAsia_UA.sa
Signed_Version.sa
SmartDialing_enable_0915_signed
Thanks kta....it's great being here but I'm going to miss the eten community. :?
Thanks for the tips. Yeah, I didn't install the ext rom at all....I should have mentioned that (if I didn't?). Thanks again.
Edit: Where's the best place to get the files off the ext rom? I don't guess I know how to extract the ext rom to copy before hard resetting, soft resetting to keep it from installing. Hope that runon sentence makes sense.? :roll:
I have problem to access messaging, Email n SMS.
Even I click SMS and Email icon on HTC 6 tab. and also start\message doesn't work at all.
Until this morning WM6 Helmi works flawlessly. Still receive 8 email from gmail, (I set to retrieve it per 1 hour). After I close that message then I cannot access it again.
I think windows\tmail.exe was broken.
Anyone can help please ?
Storage card error
I've a similar problem.
If you have checked the option to storage the attachments on the storage card maybe the attach file is corrupted. Try to delete this file with the file explorer/total commander from the storage card (it's a file like inbox.*****) It works for me.

Thanks for your attention.
I think you're right, the problem appear when I set the attachment to be stored in Storage Card.
But, I already Hard Reset my BA, when I set that option again, then the problem came again.
Then I did hard reset again, I didn't check that option and no problem at all.
Until today my BA with Helmi WM6 still fast and stable, even with so many installed application.
I Love This ROM.

it works well for receiving files it's great
The only sad thing is that it doesn't shows the progress of your 'file sending' to others.
but it's a great piece of software Go moBlue !
to change your destination file location
just goto the communication manager -> bluetooth settings -> -> services -> file transfer -> click on advanced button and in the screen select your destination directory....
hope it helps
thanks man!

Hi all... we recently got a number of Snap's at work that I've already upgraded to WM6.5 of course.
I'd like to reconfigure them to use the storage card for the "My Documents" folder etc... but I've been unable to get any version of the Advanced Config programs working on them - is there anything like this available?
Or do I have to manually edit them via the registry? if so, whats the reg keys for redirecting all the My Docs/Pics/etc folders to the storage card?
Thanks in advance
I'd like to know if there's any Advanced Config type programs for the Snap too.
