Tips & Tricks

Registry Edit*:
*Nobody will responsible if you damage your device by altering the registry value. Do it at your own risk.

01. Auto Disconnecting Idle Data Connections in WM6
CODE
HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\SuspendResume=GPRS_bye_if_device_off
HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\CacheTime=60
Save & reboot. source

02. Hide SIM contact in contact list
CODE
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\ShowSim=1
Unfortunately for B7330, it will revert back to 0 after restart. Try to use SIMShowHide app.

03. Disable sms threading & enable sms sent notification
CODE
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\OEM\SMSInboxThreadingDisabled=1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMsg=0
Save & reboot. source

or install this little .cab file to execute both. reboot after install. view spoiler to download. source
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


04. Change Start Menu Order
CODE
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Shell\StartMenu\Order
You can arrange for 10 shourcut of yours. Save & reboot. source





Settings:

01. Don't receive incoming beams!

Start>Settings>Connections>Beam>Uncheck Receive Incoming Beams

Check it only when you want to receive file from others.

02. Disable 3G connection

To avoid unnecessary 3G cost. Credit to shiniraz.

Start -> Setting -> Connection -> GPRS -> New:
Description : Dummy
Connects to : The Internet
Authentication : CHAP
Primary DNS : 0.0.0.0
Secondary SMS : 0.0.0.0
IP Address : 0.0.0.0

Then to set the phone to use this "Dummy" connection:
Start -> Setting -> Connection -> Menu -> Advance ::
Internet Connection : Dummy
(Please use this step to revert back to your data connection setting)

welcome to this thread! you are no 2 in the list!

camera is OK. bad thing they don't make the camera half press to focus first, then full press to snap.

internet i would suggest you to install opera (mobile or mini. i prefer mobile). much2 more better experience.

spec wise, e72 is better than b7330. yet, it back to how your phone usage. for me, i've used e71 before, but change to b7330 due to better sms handling & because it is Windows Mobile! symbian is good but i am so used to windows mobile environment. outlook PIM sync is also better for wm phone, compared to those symbian.

wah. more and more owner coming in. shiniraz, blackmarket & urecom, your names are in owner list.

OK, let me at give my opinion for some of your queries smile.gif

QUOTE(shiniraz @ May 31 2010, 11:16 AM)
Guys,

Can this phone set repetitive alert for missed call or unread sms?
Means that the alert will keep on repeating until we read the sms or see the miscalled notification.

thanks
*
try autolock (refer first page), it's also have reminder and screensaver like SE phone with miss called & unread msg (but i don't use them). try it and report the result smile.gif


QUOTE(locolyric @ Jun 1 2010, 12:02 PM)
hi, do anyone know where can get custom rom for b7330 . can't get it on xda also..
*
since the trend is now touch screen, b7330 is not that fancied. furthur more, b7330 is not HTC made. what enhancement do you want from custom ROM? current ROM had no problem. anyway, i also want at least to install other home screen layout blush.gif

QUOTE(blackmarket @ Jun 1 2010, 04:22 PM)
new owner of omniapro here. hopefully can find some good case or acessary for this baby

why not try at ebay? look for international seller. try see this.


QUOTE(blackmarket @ Jun 1 2010, 07:15 PM)
to shiniraz:
bought for rm850 without memory card. what video does this phone support? i tried an mp4, got sound but no video
*
back to basic, to play the specific file format, you will need the correct codec. core player can play most of multimedia format.

Hello All,

Been using B7330 since March 2010.  Initially face great difficulty with Internet browsing as it is not touch screen.

Few questions to ask:-
1) Where can I download (Free) Garmin GPS Software + Map of Malaysia & Singapore?

2) Does anyone know how to switch off the sound of the camera?  Is there anyway to increase the shutter speed?

3) Whenever I connect my notebook to use my HP for 3G Broadband, after usage, all HP setting goes haywired. 
Does anyone has the same experience?  Is this a firmware problem?  Can this be solved?

Thank you.
*
1) Garmin GPS software free to download (refer first page) but you need to buy the unlock key, but there is always alternative... whistling.gif . malsingmaps also free to download, but also need unlock key. free map, try check for malfreemap. please google OK.

2) still no finding on this, as work around, u can take picture in vibrate / silent mode. shutter speed? hehe get your dslr smile.gif

3) haven't try this. anyone?


QUOTE(locolyric @ Jun 2 2010, 11:03 PM)
planning to buy b7330 .. but if compare to htc snap...

anybody have comparison?
*
b7330 bigger screen and front facing camera for video call!

OK now my question, anybody know how to custom some of the key (e.g.: internet key, messaging key). and how to remove the unwanted chinese input. it is quite annoying to press the Alt key several time to rotate between abc-123-chinese input-abc again.

cheers!

believe me, frequent firmware update is sick. backup & restore and redo all the setting again. had e71 before.

what wrong with current firmware? my complaint only sometimes the virate does not stop. need to press end button to make it stop.

software wise, can't compare aspen 1-to-1 with b7330. aspen=WM Pro, b7330=WM Std

These 2 WM version are differ very much now. Back to your preference / experience either to have touchscreen or not.

I am very glad with Office Mobile 2010, we can create Word & Excel on b7330, which is not capable with the stock Office Mobile.

welcome emy_77! you are now in the owner list.

sorry didn't reply your PM. tried VITO audio notes (as you suggest) yet still wonder why it can't record calls, as advertised.

on the pinyin (chinese character) thing, i try to play around with the registry but yet no success. i can remove the pinyin option, but it cause SYM button not working. i think it looks like the SYM function is loaded into pinyin dll file.

on opera mobile, there is option for 'select text' when you press and hold the middle button.

on GARMIN, try to load XTRA Data before you go out travel. anyway, it would be lovely if this phone support A-GPS.

any good software to share with? laugh.gif

thanks emy for the info!

i've managed to flash my phone, 4 times actually! flash with latest firmware B7330DXJE1. funny things is that after it reboot, then some preconfiguration and the phone ask (force) to restart. after restart then the language change to vietnamese!

after some reading and experimenting, B7330DXJE1 actually contain english and vietnam language. find your way to languange setting, set to english and restart again, you will get English again. for those who need chinese, sorry guys.

just playing around a little, Alt key changes from abc to 123 (no pinyin). Sym key is default (meaning to launch ie you need to press n hold).

other differences i'll update later. it's 230 now. need to load back all software and PIM tomorrow.

Added on July 22, 2010, 2:34 amah, default font is different now. not segoe condensed anymore. not sure what font is it. i'll explore more and report.

Wah so quick. You're so adventurous uan. Hope you'd give more feedback about it before I try it. Are you going to keep the firmware or will you flash back to the old firmware? Some questions:
1) Is it confirmed that the pinyin is gone with this firmware? Will definitely will give it a try if it is. But you're Chinese, aren't you? With the pinyin gone, wouldn't it be hard to write chinese?
2) Does the new font look ok? Any screen capture? I like the current segoe condensed font actually
3) Do you use wifi a lot? Is there a problem of it disapperaring in the middle of surfing with the firmware?
4) Can you try AudioNotes on it to auto-record calls? Does it work?
Thanks for the feedbacks
Regards

seems like only we 2 having the fun rite now... tongue.gif
1) pinyin is gone. vietnamese dont use pinyin. i'm not chinese, i am malaysian!
2) screen capture as below. still dont know what is the font. in registry still stated font name is segoe condensed.

3) aha. i had the problem once today. restart and until now wifi missing thing is OK.
4) sorry emy, try audio note but still the same. 0B and 01-Jan01 at the below bar. I wonder what is the problem.

improvement /findings so far:
1-feels like menu navigation is a lot snappy. or just my feeling?
2-StartUp folder was empty. no those unused application (i.e.Mobile Tracker process)
3-not much difference in other aspect. still looking for update log... sweat.gif

yes. sms is a bit lag on repositioning cursor position. but i'm OK with it. dont want to take the risk combining asian pda file with european scs file. anyway, those post were in may.

StartUp folder (in \windows\startup) is where winmo load application and shortcuts when the system started. if you can browse to this folder, you can see 3-4 shortcuts available. this shortcuts launches application / process and some of it stay as background process. even a small process require the hardware resources.

Battery feels last longer. still need to confirm back on this.

Again, all home screen as what it had in previous firmware...
