Guest emyllis Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 I don't know what I've done but it's really frustrating - i've had the phone for a week, and some things are really frustrating me: 1) No vibrating alarm/vibrating anything 2) Alarm clock when it goes off doesn't actually stop! It just loops round and round and I can't turn it off 3) The "phone screen" which has the phone nos and "last rung" info often freezes and I cant remove the screen, so the home screen it totally unviewable. Grrr! Please help, as i'm at the end of my tether! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 1) Have you installed the LED tweak? If so, this disables vibrate too! 2) You're hitting 'dismiss', the left soft key? 3) Not had this... P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P Well I'll give it a go and get back to you; Am resetting the pocket pc, and installing everything and then backing it up so i have a "good backup" to fall back on in future, with just the bare minimum software on. Will try this and get back to you; Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest emyllis Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 And on a similar "annoyance note", what can I press on the pull out keyboard to get a series of numbers types in? The only way I can do it at the moment is to keep on pressing the bottom left red circle key, then pressing a number button, then pressing the bottom left red circle key then pressing a number button - it's a bit of an effort! How do I resolve this?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Press that button twice to 'lock' :D P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do I resolve this?! On the Vario you double press the blue symbol key to get symbol lock. I guess that will be the same on the Hermes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest emyllis Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 thanks to you both! I just didn't think of something like that - i appreciate the knowledge base here, it's invaluable. Pointers 1 and 2 are fixed - Also this is a lot faster, I don't know what I did when I first messed around with the phone but this is so much better and responsive. I'll see if I can take a video of the problem with my phone screen freezing periodically... Although I hope that this reset may solve any problems, i'll get back to you. I'm happy!

Guest gingerprince Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Also this is a lot faster, I don't know what I did when I first messed around with the phone but this is so much better and responsive. If you installed lots of stuff, you probably also customized your Today screen, including removing the vario "Running Programs" button. You then possibly didn't know that every program you clicked is still running in memory, and therefore slowing down your machine. It's one of the things that really annoys me about Windows Mobile but at least the Vario softkey makes closing things a tad easier (and yes I am aware of third-party taskbars etc).

Guest emyllis Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 You're quite right! All done... Backed up and running a lot smoother. It's much better; My only frustration is that W and W is soooo slow even on 3G in Coventry - with 2 bars. I'm looking online, and the top speed I can get is 247.8 kilobits per second which is very slow in reality - BBC taking 10 seconds to load; Modaco takes: 34 seconds to download 114kb - is that acceptable speed?

Guest Paul (MVP) Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 That's very slow. Are you using our super-duper proxy and DNS tweaks? :D P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest emyllis Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 not being lazy, but where is the dns settings? I can't find them! i can find the original post but not the updated settings: http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=...80&hl=proxy Am I being a spanner? I think so!

Guest emyllis Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 i am a spanner! don't respond... found what i've looked for.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest emyllis Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 just done the settings (the super dooper settings) at a speed of 240.7 kilobits per second. That's slow isn't it. Any other ideas Paul/anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest emyllis Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Now this'll sound so silly, but how do I turn the alarm off! I've set it to go (2 minutes ago) and other than going in and selecting to cancel an alarm, I can't figure out which button i need to press to stop the alarm going! can someone take pity on a very simply man, and tell me what I need to be doing? (In very simple terms too!) Cheer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimbouk Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 You should get a dismiss option on the left soft key when an alarm goes off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest emyllis Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 No! Doesn't work; I don't get the option up to cancel the alarm! Very baffling; just the music in the background with no screens to dismiss. Any further ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
