tried the .Net Config Tool, there are still lagging on certain programs, especially games. But as for the wm based programs like Office, Windows Media Player, as well as 'Start', 'Setting' and 'Program' options, there's an improvement of opening/loading response.

anyway, still have to thank old newspaper bro for his tireless effort to work the things out.  rclxms.gif

this is not a 'miracle' cure for all lag...lol you guys don't have to thanks me for this as i'm only compiled this to make easier for you guys to use. credit should go to Microsoft NetCF team!

For those experience fast battery drainage remember to try this;

1. Disable 3G and change to GSM mode [only use it when necessary]

2. Disable the beam function [only use it when necessary]

3. DO NOT lock the phone by either pressing/hold the end key for >5 sec or thru the phone lock setting [this is the main culprit in TP]

Hello everybody,

This is the first time I post in lowyat forum. Been using the forum as a silent lurker for a while. Thanks to lowyat forum, I made a decision to abandon my old treo600 and bought the TP on 28th Sept from PDAExpert lowyat ground floor.

Extremely happy with it !

I actively read both lowyat forum and xdadevelopers forum and have been adding tweaks and stuff. I am running stock rom and very happy with the speed. Got used to it after about a week.

Anyway, I have this problem hope some guru can advise.

I exported my old palm treo contacts (600+ contacts) into a .csv file. Was hoping to use to directly in Outlook after adding an extra line using excel for various fields (got the tip from microsoft forum). However, importing into Outlook 2007, only the names are there. No phone numbers or email or address.

So I decided to just manually enter the phone numbers and addresses, took me about a week. However, when I sync to my TP, the contacts is incomplete. Some are complete, some the names is there but no details, others have name and maybe email but no other numbers. If I delete a particular contact in TP, it dissappear in Outlook. I have to re-enter new contact and sync and it will appear correct in TP.

Does anybody have any suggestion what I can do ? I can go and delete each incomplete contact and re-enter but fed up with entering so many contacts already for the past week. Where does Outlook save the contacts file on the pc ? There was a suggestion somewhere to use a program in outlook folder to check .pst file but I can't even find any .pst file on my pc.

Sorry for the long post. Hope somebody can help. Thank you in advance.

sorry mate, not very familiar with palm...maybe you can refer this DIY: Transfer data from Palm to Pocket PC

btw, congrat and welcome rclxms.gif

QUOTE(mikeymic @ Oct 14 2008, 11:39 AM)
Is this workable for our TP? got the config file from xda. Further to that any of you guys have problem of automatically rejecting/answer/missed calls while taking your TP out from your pockets?
*
haven't explore this before, isn't this identical to Advanced Config Tool? [except being able to change theme]...correct me if i'm wrong.

no bro, no issue with automatically rejecting/answering call, perhaps you can try these;

1. use THIS tiny and useful application. this will disable the on screen answer key to pick up the call! which means that only the hardware key is permitted answer the phone call or

2. SensorLock - refer to THIS

some preview in youtube....

Sorry buddy, just tried. Even the aussies are not helping. Really annoying esp when you want to know which girlfriend is calling. Hope it's not the hardware. Thanks again.

by default when you long press the end key, it will lock the phone. myself and few other user here tried this and it's proven this will really drain the battery! you gotta try it to believe it.....

Hi Everybody!

I'm new in this forum. Read about HTC Touch Pro on this thread and be tahan, got myself one also, just before the shop close last night!

Bought it in PDA Union Cineleisure (They mention they merge with PDA Expert?)

Anyway SUPERBLY GREAT SERVICE, got this set at RM2899 with 4GB Toshiba SDHC Class 4.

Tried out Garmin Mobile XT with this beauty and it works great for me!

Hope to learn from all the Shi Fus here how to make it a better phone.

The sliding part loose as in a simple soft push to the side will rock the keyboard out by a lil'. XD

get it replace at SIS Glenmarie Shah Alam. lodge a report to them and ask for replacement.

Here's another application worth to try out !

Windows Mobile SMS Sync

Windows Mobile SMS Sync allows users of Windows Mobile Devices (Smartphones and Pocket PCs) to backup their SMS (Text Messages). ActiveSync does not have any native support for this feature.

In response to the overwhelming popularity of the first release of this application, I released a refresh of the application. The September 2008 (version 1.1) refresh is a complete re-write focusing on user friendliness, device support, and functionality.


user posted image

Some of the features in this release are:

* Streamlined installation application.
* Full Userguide.
* Ability to save to CSV file.
* Windows Desktop application for viewing and searching messages.
* Wizard for uploading messages to a SQL server database.

Best of all.... it is still FREE!

so guys, check this out HERE

Note : I have tested this out and it's working great ! you can even backup/convert the synced sms to MS Excel! thumbup.gif

For those who love Worms World Party like me, here is a hint on how to get your keys working for version 1.04
To edit the keys manually, you will need to download a Hex Editor ( Any type would do)
By default, the program itself should be using C1 C2 C3 hex values for your Fire,Jump and backflip keys at address 10A,10B,10C
To modify it to suits your usage, here is a list of hex values for the corresponding key

Front keys:
Center D button = 86
Hang Up = 73
Answer = 72
Back (the arrow button) = 75
Volume Up = 75
Volume Down = 76

Keyboard Keys: ( its funny that when you are using keyboard mode, the default navigation up down left right arrow keys are weird where up = left, down = right , etc. )
Up = 26
Down = 28
Left = 25
Right = 27
Enter = 86
Tab = 9
Left shift =10 (turn off = E5 )
Del = 8
CTRL = 11

I personally set the volume up key as jump, volume down as backflip, D-pad center button as fire while using default Dpad-navigation for movements. ( Screen set to align to the right side means the D-pad keys are on the left of the screen )

Due to the stupid navigation on the keyboard which I dont think WWP PPC version allows you to change, its suggested that you dont use the keyboard.

BTW, anyone know any good web development tool/editor available for Windows Mobile? Preferbly PHP/Javascript/CSS/HTML color coded editor.

Ringtone Delay Patch << Who tried this and it actually worked?
Its meant for WM5 but HTC Touch Pro come with WM 6.1, is it compatible? Is there any chance that the very loud ringtone will damage the phone speakers?
Sorry for my noobness but yeaI am quite new to WM phones, this is my 1st WM phone.
*
few user here tested it before and it reported works! this is more to solve the delay of the ring delay not so much on the volume. for the volume tweak, you have to apply the audiopara tweak.

Just to share with you TP members.

I was looking around for a good screen protector and found out 3 options for my beloved TP.

Martin Fields
Brando
Boxwave

After hard decision making I decided to go for Boxwave after much applaud reviews.
So I ordered through my CC, got a confirmation invoice and shipping notification. Not long later I receive another mail.

This is how it goes.
I was really disappointed. Sighh guess I'll go for martin fields then.
Was really dissapointed in how other countries look at us. I feel ashamed. Time to migrate I'd say.
*
damn....this really humiliating us! let's boycott this brand !

thanks bro Kerry for sharing this with us, as i'm also very keen on their products previously but not after this incident.

we are still waiting for your pic brows.gif

Sorry guys for the late reply.
Just got back home.

Anyways here's the poison guys:

Here's Kerry's Review of TP Flip Up Pouch.
Before I decided to buy a pouch for my TP, I've been researching elsewhere and found out so far those brands like brando, pdair, etc is almost exactly similar in design. They basically just "stamp" their logo in the pouch, to me its all the same. The difference is that there are a few types of pouch, one is the flip up and the other is the slide out pouch. I believe there's a crystal hardened aluminium casing or some sort available now.

user posted image
They come in a box, all wrapped up and nice. And they come with a free keychain too.
user posted image
When you opened the box, unwrapped it there's your pouch =)
user posted image
This is the back look of the pouch, it ain't that bulky from the back. It just looks bulky thats all.

user posted image
This is the pouch with my TP fit on it. Initially I was dumbfounded when I open the box because I don't know how to put the TP on since it has two layer (keyboard). I thought it was like a clip on because from what I saw when I opened it, there's a plastic white cover. I then realize the plastic white cover is for you to slide your keyboard in hence the picture. Its abit tight at first but it fits perfectly nice =)
Also sms'in in this mode needs to get use to it because as you know there's plastic cover holding on to it.

*Also for those TP users who has mentioned that their keyboard is slightly loose, the spring mechanism is loose etc...when you fit this in the pouch its not loose anymore due to the tight fitting of the pouch and the plastic sleeve holding on to the keyboard.
user posted image
This is how it looks like when the keyboard is not slide out. Also the other end of the pouch has the PDAIR logo engraved on it. If you buy other brands like Brando etc... you will get their logo imprinted on it.
user posted image
It looks pretty bulky compare to the stock pouch. But the outer part has a nice cushion layer. Love it.
user posted image
This is the side look of the pouch when it is closed.
user posted image
Last but not least, this is the back look of the pouch. Notice there's small holes for the speaker and a well designed hole for the camera. I have tested the sound quality and it is better compare to using stock pouch as the latter has no holes hence the sound is softer.
Also there is a clip bundled together with the pouch, it is an addon accessory if you want it to clip it to your belt =)

Conclusion:
Pros:
+ Better quality than the stock
+ Durable
+ Design
+ Fits in perfectly

Cons:
- SMS in keyboard tad to be a little tough for me as the pouch gets in the way of my fingers.
- Slightly bulkier compare to the stock pouch

Well guys hope you like the review. For those who plan to change your stock pouches, what ya waiting for? Go get em' ;p
*
ooo...nice pouch you have there! i'd seen this same design pouch at pda expert [not pdair brand] and it seem the thin layer of plastic that suppose to hold the device sometime tend to make the keypad hard to slide out/in. anyway nice review bro thumbup.gif
