As long as WM5torage is running and activated, your storage card is not availlable to the system. Did you try to deactivate it? Your card then should show up again.

Is it now possible to choose an irq above 15 to connect via bluetooth?

With that I fully agree even if I don't think Variant B is right. LiIon-batteries usually don't wear much more on full load than normal aging does (apart from temperature effects). Main problem is deep discharge since it bears chance to irreparably damage the cell(s).
Variant A is only true for the time where the device is fully loaded, since normally the phone not just takes power from the charger but also charges the battery. Even after a short while without load (phone switched off) self-discharge may be enough to make the device put the batteriy on charging for long enough to have the same effect as normal charge-cycle.
It all depends on the way the battery is charged by the phone.

But I would not waste to much thought on tat problem since normally the battery lasts about 2 years even with heavy stress (cycles or load). btw. a small usb-stick maybe much more practicable as allways fiddling with a cable an a phone. Its just very cool to be able to access the phones sd-card on computers without ActiveSync.

PS: The early death of your notebook battery may be the result of a faulty battery or, more obvious, heat from processor or grafik-chip or hd. Heat makes LiIon-batteries age way faster...

Sorry, found it just a minute ago...

That may not be the full truth...
It's true that deep discharge may damage or even destroy a LiIon pack. But normally devices are switched off automatically at a specific current (cut-off current) that lies way above deep discharge (hopefully). So risk is low if you don't switch the device on afterwards without charging. (That may not be true for some Motorola devices since they use power even if current is very low).

What damages LiIon-packs is: Charging cycles - and time. You may count every reconnecting as full charging cycle if it even lasts for a short while and your battery ist on half charge.

But if that is relevant depends on general usage habits, since LiIon batteries degenerate even if they are not used at all. Normally capacity has somewhat halved after about two years in normal condition, not much difference between used or unused batteries.
So, if you charge your phone three times a week or connect it every second day it makes no big difference in life-cycle since thats about the same (with ~500 charging cycles) as normal half-life period...

And it's absolutely true that you don't have to care much for your LiIon Battery after it is correctly formatted during first charging cycles (and even that is no more than just one full charge and discharge til cut-off current - no big voodoo that you often read about).

Conclusion: No problem here with WM5torage if you don't connect it five times a day (who should???).

Great!

Use it since I found it three weeks ago. It's much more handy than every other solution I tested...

You're absolutly right.

It's a bug that makes your phone think it's connected to a BT-keyboard. I found something a while ago but cannot remember from whom I copied this (my apologies).

So when your phone next time connects to another phone, leave "input device" unchecked or edit your registry afterwards...

DJ

-edit-
forgot enlightment

Serial Port - does just what it is called. It establishes a serial connection between both devices so they can communicate to exchange files, data, etc.
Input Device - alows the other device to act as input device (for example: remote control of windows apps via BT-Remote). Makes no sense with two phones... don't know if it even may function

Which type of main memory? Storage or program memory? They are not the same and cannot be reallocated. Program memory is used to execute programs and storage memory to store things...

Try to empty your IE-cache or to delete some mails. You can change the location of IEs temporary and mail attachments (search modaco ). This may help to free some (storage)memory...

PS: maybe it has something to do with mms-settings. there exists a fix for lowering the memory-limit...

You could also move your mail-attachments to SD card since they may eat up space rapidly.

No. Just a simple, useful, little notetaker on your smartphone without any further options.

Orange released a fix a while ago. Don't know if it came with AKU2.0 or as a separate fix. But it simply does the same (changes the registry). The problem comes with WM5 smartphone since it just uses more memory. Upcoming models seem to come with 128MB flash.

There are some workarounds here in this forum. You can change the location of temporary internet files, mail attachments etc. to storage card, so you don't sequentially add garbage to your storage memory.

As it's called RightMenu, guess what it's programmed to do?
Start menu is hardcoded in WM and therefore - afaik -not changeable. But you can change the position/links to the first 8 entries via registry.

"search" is your friend...

Bye,
DJ

btw:



...ever tried my link?

Ever tried Right Menu?



This app will allow you to add items to a popup over the right menu key. As it usually points to contacts for which my qtek 8310 has a dedicated button, it is pretty useful for me.
You can edit this menu, add items and even submenus and still keep your original Start-Menu.

The program is shareware, but the registration-fee of ~ 8$ seems quite reasonable compared to its usefulness.

Have you tried to store your photos on the sd-card?


no way without reprogramming the firmware as they are stored in rom.

given the memory-concept of WM5 there seems to be no soultion. memory is divided to flash memory (storage) and normal ram for program execution. That's also the reason why programs need a while to start since they must be transfered from flash to ram.
Memory drop may occur because of programs not deallocating used ram. Ever tried Oxios Hybernate?


I don't have a soultion for this either, exept from deleting unused mails (in all folders... remember there's a folder for deleted objects). Another solution might be to just synchronize calender items from 2 weeks ago.

Bye,
DJ

Not yet...

That's what I thought first, but bgimage in MSCDial just changes the image of incoming calls, not of outgoing ones. WM5 seems to make a difference here.

I'll continue to search for a solution, hints still welcome.

Hi,

I changed some extra-screens just to find out, that the screen that appears, when you call a number, seems not to be skinable via registry. I just switched the file (it's called cprogbak.png) in my windows-folder but that's not an option when I want to share my screens.

Does anyone know how to change this screen without replacing the file?

Bye,
DJ

btw. maybe it's an WM5-issue - on my qtek 8310 the startup and shutdown splashscreens are located in HKLM\System\Startup and ..\Shutdown.

Seems to be some mess in the way, bluetooth-profiles are implemeted.

Pairing sometimes changes those registry-values, that stand for a connected keyboard.

This may be a solution:

Go to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell

Change the Value 'HasKeyboard' from 1 to 0

This normally fixes this Problem.
(You may have to restart the phone!)

Wow! Great simple application that does just what it's expected to do!

Suggestions:
-search text in all notes
-big icon von QVGA StartMenu

Keep up your good work...

Bye,
DJ

Just couldn't resist to have a look at it...

The missing tag background b-border-width=0 caused the line



I added a corrected xml, if you don't mind...

Same problem with my Qtek 8310. At first it seemed to function well even if the values seemed somewhat strange, but after a while I only got these squares.
