I have this running on my Exec and have storage indicators for memory and SD card on today screen, or are you talking about something else?

Btw, I found that my Exec runs faster with pocket plus than it did with magic button and pocketmagic++

Menu and popup fonts

can anyone explain how to change the Menu and popup fonts from 700 to 900. Is it a registry hack?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] joebongo:
You would need to ring them up and enquire. With t-mobile, the tech dude just said they wouldn't be able to help me if I bricked my MDA until t-mobile released a ROM that I could download and use to revive the MDA. So, not invalidated for me, just much reduced support. Until a new ROM si out, all they can do with misbehaving devices is offer a replacement at the moment.

Illwil - the font size is a registry hack - search as it's here on this site somewhere.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] craigiecraigie4:
joebongo: nice perspective. now users can see 2 extremes; O2 with much office usage, vs HTC with much out-n-about usage. Thanx 4 the effort.

illwil :-) : search for my post on reg tweaks and run the .ren file 2 got 700->900 or rather 900->700

codiac: agree. I fiund spbPP 2 b perfectly well behaved, but there is so much bad press on it in this forum. perhas it's an O2 rom issue - pretty sad 4 them actually

xiasma: there truly do see 2 b an awful lot of ppl who think their universal is junk. this is intended 2 help them get up n running. some ppl got lucky (htc rom or just happy with functionality that actually works well) and they probably should not fix what aint broke. But one day they may want 2 push the envelope a little...

PocketPlus is working OK for me on my O2 Exec... :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] fatspark:
Hello Everyone.

I proudly received my Exec this morning, only to find that it ran like a bag of S**t.

I removed the connections.exe, and the active files from my windows/start up folder and things improved dramatically.

However I am having a problem with the activesync.

I have set up the partnership with my laptop running activesync 4 and when it communcates it does it without any problems, however as soon as I connect my usb cable between my Exec and my laptop it takes a few minutes for the charging LED to come on on my Exec, and a while longer before Activsync on my pc recoginses it.

Does anyone else suffer from this problem?

Cheers
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] craigiecraigie4:
You removed connections.exe and now u have a connection problem... :)

Try removing things 1 at a time.

I definitely don't have this problem.

FYI, on my HTC all I have under startup is:

sddeamon.lnk

batti (i installed)

apreminderplus (me)

iiwpo (me)

O2 is definitely adding stuff that does not seem 2 b required by htc.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SiliconS:
The only shortcut I have in my Windows\Startup folder is 'Services' and I have no problem with ActiveSync, voice dialling (with the built-in dialler) or anything else. I have no idea what the sddaemon one does but mine runs fine without it.

fatspark, your problem might lie with your laptop rather than the Exec? As a test though, are you able to try ActiveSyncing over Bluetooth? See if it's any quicker. If so then maybe it's a USB problem. Dunno. :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sagig:
IIWPO

Can someone explain how to install the IIWPO in the extended ROM on the JASJAR ?

I think it is different than the EXEC, where can I find instructions ? I am willing to handle the hassle :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] fatspark:
Cheers SiliconS

The problem is a driver issue on one of my laptops, I installed activsync 4 onto another one and all is ok.

Cheers.

Fatzzz :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] craigiecraigie4:
fatspark: kewl - glad it's solved

sagig: actually, it's rather easy cos your JJ has persistent storage:

- follow instructions to modify the cab file to your owner info settings (now keep this cab file cos it'll work for you from now on)

- run install

- check that you have iiwpo in your startup folder

Now, it's not in ROM, so a hard reset will remove it. But, how many thieves will be savvy enough to know how to hard reset this device without the instruction manual (Hell, I only get it right 50% of the time and I've HR'd around 30 times already!). You can lay a pretty large bet (say E1000 :wink: ) on the fact that they will fiddle with the owner info WAY before they buy a new charger and manual. On XDA's this did not work cos when the battery ran out, the memory was lost - hence the ROM requirement. On your JJ, the thief has time to get a charger, start using it, make changes, and only after a few weeks will the most savvy start to check out the startup folder and the meaning of installed apps. I think this is so AWESOME that I donated E10 to xda-developers - without being asked...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Cyber-mate:
I have noticed that after couple of application launching and proper closing, memory of prgrams block about 29Mb of memory no matter what I do! As for the tasks running in the bg, yet the memory remains highly blocked which reflects a poor Memory management!

Is there an application such as Free Mem Pro PC version that can flush and reload memory for optimum memory handling?

Hi all,

Please forgive my ignorance as this question may sound quite silly to some. The words "Notification Queue" has been mentioned a number of times in this thread. Can someone be kind to explain what Notification Queue is???

Thanks in advance for you help

Kind Regards
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] craigiecraigie4:
Notification Queue is a separate process that manages timed events. Your calendar put entries into here when u set an alarm. There are things in here like "when JJ connects" and "when JJ wakes up" and "every midnight", and of course all your upcoming celandar events etc.

If it gets screwed up in any way, it stops fworking. You then get activesync failures, alarm failures, can't turn on issues, etc.

U can only view this queue using software like PM

Blackberry connect

Excelent info, thanks. Have you (or somebody else) been able to get a version of Blacberry Connect that works on the JasJar?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ikaris:
Craig:

Great post ! Excellent tips ! I will look into them...

You're with Fido too ?

Where are you located ?

Maybe we could form a HTC Universal users group... :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] craigiecraigie4:
Not sure what that Fido icon is - board allocated it to me and I havn't bothered to change - I'm with MTN in ZA. However, I do have the HTC JasJar. The O2 and JasJar devices are IDENTICLE, except that the O2 one comes with a load of crap installed that users seem to benefit from de-installing (corp setup mode). All posts in this forum at present seem 2 b fine for HTC - but I agree that we'll have to spin off eventually.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] craigiecraigie4:
Re: Blackberry connect

Pleasure: Prhaps u need to explain what Blackberry Connect offers. IMHO all this blackberry compliance is unnecessary - your universal will check your email every 5 minutes if you tell it to do so - that's exactly the same functionality as 'push'. Blackberry offers nothing that the PPC doesn;t already offer, and it actually demands that your company install a dedicated server! I just don;t get why the device is even a success - except that it works out-the-box for housewives.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] CodeSmoke:
Re: Blackberry connect

I have a friend that is also waiting for the Blackberry connect before he buys the universal. For me I don't need it but it is a must for him since he is in sells and recieves so many emails and phone calls a day.

The problem is that if you are recieving emails you cannot recieve phone calls and he is missing to many calls becuase his device is downloading so many emails. Like I said though I'm ok with only getting me emails every 10 minuntes and I don't have so many emails that I'm missing phone calls.

Does any one know when there will be a blackberry connect client for the Jasjar?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] this_mike:
This blackberry thing looks berry fruity to me too... I would have thought that it was actually a deterrent for someone who needed to use a single device as an email + voice comms tool. Surely the transport mechanism is the same for blackberry emails as for outlook, i.e. the GPRS connection. If using GPRS disables the phone (still not clear about why this is ok) then surely it's better to choose when it checks..?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gabo:
Blackberry Connect is really push e-mail and not pull like the outlook interface.

Also, in order to use the pull option for outlook and Exchange, you need to have RPC over HTTP enabled on the Web Outlook server. In my company that’s disabled for security reasons and the IT department won’t turn it on. So my only option is Blackberry connect since they DO support BB.

In any case, I don’t think neither push nor pull should prevent you from making phone calls.

Gabo
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Wiz:
I also am wainting for a BB client for my Exec, and until then I am running a BB client on my XDA IIs. I can confirm two things however.

1 ) The BB client does not use the GPRS connection that is also used for internet access, but instead connects itself through a dedicated BB connection. You can actually see it disconnect itself when you start Internet Explorer and go onto the net. (It also appears to sort of consume less power then a real GPRS connection)

2 ) While the BB Client is active, I have remained available by phone and have conducted various conf calls at the same time. BB mail push seems to be temporarily suspended while on a call. Mail that was queuing up is delivered the moment you disconnect the phone.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] craigiecraigie4:
Apart from a beligerent IT dept, I still don;t get this thing:

I download mails, surf the web, and use my JasJar as a 3G modem ALL whilst receiving and making phone calls AND sms's!! Yep, in the middle of a 3G connection I'll get a call and I don't lose the connection at all.

Not tested this on GPRS - but I can't see why it would be different.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] herpi:
Interesting,

Tomorrow I fly back to Romania. here in Holland my Agile stops everytime with a phone call when on GPRS.

In Romania I have UMTS and you say I can call AND keep the connection alive.

Would be great.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] craigiecraigie4:
Thanks guys - I wanted it to become sticky just to stop ppl giving up too quickly - not sure the admins are paying much attention to this forum yet tho. It's the biggest (amd WAY best) Universal forum on the net, but I think xda-developers was created for for hacking XDA's and at present this universal forum is still in the learning-to-walk stages of getting the darned thing to even work.

But the more replies it gets the more it'll stay alive and the more chance of getting stickied...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] BrettS:
It is different. GPRS data services are not active when voice calls are active. Apparently the GSM spec can support this, but there are no consumer devices that allow this. If you have an active GPRS data connection when you get a phone call your data connection should be suspended and automatically resume when you hang up the phone. You can, however, send and receive SMS messages while you have an active voice call. UTMS is different and it can remain active while you send and receive voice calls.

Brett
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] craigiecraigie4:

More BlackBerry Connect ...

If you work for US gov or a large multinational already using BB you'd know how tough it is to get the IT dept to support anything but the BB that they are already supporting... I really hope to see a BB client for the Universal.

This being said, I see Blackberry Connect listed on the features page for QTEK variant of the Universal. Anyone here running the QTEK? Can you please confirm if you have this additional application? You would see it listed in your settings page.

craigiecraigie4,

Thanks for your effort man........ well done.

I just want to add something which might be usefull.

I use Resco explorer not only as a file explorer, but as a today plugin as well.... and I found my device is more stable and more faster than ever.... and uses a smaller size of memory as well 'compaired with spb pocket plus".

The only thing which I missed when using resco explorer as a today plugin is the suspend and the restart buttons..... and to solve this problem I installed the GSPocketMagic only to use these two buttons while I'm using the MagicButton to close the applications and to switch between the applications "charming free software" and not using the GSPMagic Button to close the applications to avoid missing the softkeys when giving the order to close all.

To use GSPocketMagic only for the restart and suspend features I went to it's menu and unchecked all the features there.

In the settings also I set the click option to open the start menu instead of "Menu" so that it works as if it is not installed....... and in tap and hold option I set it to suspend , so whenever I tap and hold the device suspends.

In Resco today plugin I included the GSPocketMagic button so whenever I tap it it opens the GSPocketMagic options including the restart button.

By replacing the spb pocket plus by the above softwares "Resco Explorer + MagicButton + GSPocketMagic " and doing the above explained settings we can save more that 2mb of storage and the device is much faster without losing any benifits.

Finally I would like to thank you again for your efforts to help improving the performance of the universal devices.... and special thanks for introducing the TCPMP program as I didn't know about it before and I badly needed a software to play back my videos in full screen mode "at least now I can see my new born baby in full screen".

Thanks again,
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] craigiecraigie4:

Thanks for the excellent advice.

I want to go ahead and upgrade my ROM but I have a [dumb] question first. I have Orange M5000 - this is locked to Orange network.

This post says the Sept 30th imate ROM is the best, I've read elsewhere on here that the O2 ROM is also very good.

Do I get any performance benefit to upgrading from the Orange latest ROM to either of these? Will it cause any problems?

TIA

Hi all

I am today a proud owner of a new xda exec..

Ok to begin with I have read the origional post in this topic but my rom version is as follows:

1.13.48 WWE rom version

19/09/05 rom date

1.04.02 radio version

42.37.P8 protocol version

1.13.139 WWE Etxended rom version

the question is is it worth changing the rom to the jas jar one as good old o2 have put all the usual crap back on it o2 active.. or should I just install in corporate mode..

I ask as my rom appears newer than that of jas jar

BT Switch

Craig, you mentioned a BT switch in your (very useful) list. I remeber a great hack that linked BT on/off with a hardware button. Buzz was it you who wrote this? In any case, I have searched high and low and can't find it. Anyone point me in the right direction? Cheers
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sergeantash:
Still not pleased with the performance of my Exec...

- SMS's don't send unless I wait for the 'Message Sent' before switching the PDA off, they only actually send when I switch it back on

- Opening Messaging takes around 4 seconds from the Today screen

- Answering the phone from pressing the phone button takes a few seconds, and sometimes just hangs the call

I've been through the excellent guide on page one of this thread, but feel we perhaps need a new guide that takes this initial version, and takes it one step further by integrating the rest of the feedback into a new version?

I know answers to these are potentially within other threads (before anyone replies with that response), but I need directing before I head for EBay ;o)

Still got my XDA2s, and when firing it up now, I'm SO impressed by the speed! Using my Exec is like going back to an Amiga.
