funny how a hack to a smart device can have soooo many of the same questions.

"Where is the download?" is the worst. I have read 25 pages of this post & am amazed at the references to "update", "fixed", & "versionX". with only a repeated page 1 post 1 & the assumed login. And even then the file does not describe itself correctly from this ONE post!

It would be nice if there were better guides (STICKIES) and you didn't have to stumble through 20+ pages of repeated "it would be nice if -my phone x with my ap x would do x when I do x. How one developer with one hack (pardon the word) can please so many people with so many devices is a slight miracle to me.

If I use this (oh i will) I shall send you a card with a couple bucks thrown in.

Re: Feature request

Great little app. It really does make the device so much easier to use.

I would like this feature as well. It would be cool to be able to have an exception list for the volume slider, so I can specify which ones to disable. If I can't have that I'd like to disable the volume slider remap for mediaplayer and tcpmp.

Thanks.

Update on DPad moves left to right on calendar items on 0.52

BTW Thx for the great program. Hopefully this will help solve the mystery behind why the calendar items do not scroll.

The behavior is repro'd when you install a ROM that has AKU 2.3 ( at least for me). If I revert to say a previous ROM (I-Mate 2.16 that has the Direct Push mail or the Stock T-Mobile) calendar appts work as expected.

My first instincts indicate that this could be related to the AKU update.

But for this weirdness this app is a savior for me.

Pocketmusic won't close

Great program, using it since May. I have one problem in that it won't close PocketMusic with the right SK (tap and hold) like it does every other app. To close I must use the stylus, as PocketMusic doesn't have an "X" on the top right of the screen to close. Anyone have a fix for this?

I have a cingular 8125 and I can't get this to work. I did what the instructions said and it still doesn't work. Now everytime I uninstall it and then reinstall it and try to run it the **** keeps saying " close smartskey?"...............****. I really need this **** to work
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] J-Mac:
Well, at least you have the patience of a .....pit bull?

That'll help! I give your 8125 about another week before you throw it against the wall. You don't need this to run - you would really like it to run.

Calm down and act civilized - you'll get more replies that way, dude.

You have created a folder and placed both the .exe and .ini files in there? BTW, it's a good idea to perform a soft reset at this time - actually after you install or uninstall any application.

You then double-tapped on the .exe file to run Smartskey?

Important: Did you open the .ini file in Notepad and alter any of the settings? If so, what exactly did you change? And if you did edit the .ini file, did you save your changes in Unicode?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] tekboi:
sorry about that. I don't have alot of patients. Just one of my short commings.

But all I did was download it. Make a folder called "smartskey" in the "my programs" folder, then I put the .exe and the .ini in there.

Then i ran the exe and nothing happened. I uninstalled it and it asked me if I wanted to stop the program, I said yes. Then I erased it and did a soft reset. Then I installed it again and it just keeps asking me if I wan't to stop smartskey, like I never uninstalled it in the first place. Even when I do tell it to stop running, when I click the exe again it asks th same damn thing
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] J-Mac:
First, did you read and follow the directions in the Smartskey Readme PDF document that was included with the download?

Here are the specific installation instructions:

And the uninstall instructions:

Also, most people have had better success with the Smartskey folder installed directly in Main memory rather than a storage card.

Or if you are not going to use it anymore, then get MemMaid, SK-Tools, or Clear Notifications (Google for them) and then clear out the Notification Queue on your 8125. That should remove the standing notification there giving you that message.

I use SmallMenuPlus, Smartskey, and Double Launcher together and they all work very well.

I'm not sure what key you mean, but I guess it's a key that is unique to the 9100. If so, I'm sure that Double Launcher can do it. And the price is decent at under $10 USD.

Message like

"Unable to run file storagecard/smartskey/smartskey.exe"

keeps popping up every time I reactivate the screen after it goes black.

I've tried to uninstall the program and also reinstall it on main memory, but still this message relating to the storagecard installation pops up.

Seems like there is an instruction somewhere on the PDA to start the uninstalled program everytime I activate the screen.

Anyone any idea where that instruction can be?

Yes, I have deleted the shortcut in the startupfolder.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] toshe:
Continuing my post before this one...

First of all, I finally got the time to read almost all of this huge thread, and I realise there are quite a few others expieriencing the same problem, but I have not seen any solution.

Well, I finally got rid of the disturbing error-message that popped up every time I pressed the ON-button, in "my own way"....

I discovered that if I installed smartskey on the main memory, then the

error message said :

"Unable to run file storagecard/smartskey/smartskey.exe".

And if I then uninstalled, and reinstalled it on the storageCard, the error message said:"Unable to run file /smartskey/smartskey.exe".

My "crazy solution" was to install smartskey both on the storageCard and the main memory..... :shock: :?

Well, I haven't seen the error message since, and have no other error indications...

But................................

Water?????

----------------------------------------

Edit: Back to zero again. Suddenly the error message returned, and yes: Both files had mysteriously disappeared from the storageCard again????

---------------------------------------

Edit2: I might have solved the problem now with some good help.

I downloaded and installed freeware "check notifications" by "scarybear software" to see all the socalled notifications in the database.

And there was a line pointing to Smartskey.exe . After having closed smartskey.exe, therafter uninstalled the files, deleted the smartskey notification line and done a couple of soft resets I haven't seen the error message any more.

Seems like this notification stuff is having trouble keeping track of where smartskey really is installed on the unit.

I guess I'll try to install smartskey on the phone memory (NOT the storageCard) as I suspect this was creating the problems in the first place.

Edit3: Reinstalled smartskey on phone memory now, and everything seems to work now. No erreo messages seen! :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] DavMull:
I installed it on my storage card. When I removed my card to install other information is when my problems started. I have followed the readme file to uninstall the program. I have deleted the file I put on my storage card. I have removed everything I can recognize as being Smartskey from the startup menu.

I still continually get the "Cannot execute "\StorageCard\Smartskey\smartskey.exe"

I want it off my machine but cannot seem to make it happen. The readme is difficult to understand.

Can someone help?

Thanks,

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Anything Close:
Has anyone noticed that the Wizard has 4 buttons (both soft keys on the lower portion and the two upper keys) which are all identical physically? It seems to me, especially in a phone which can switch from landscape to portrait and back again very easily, that it would make sense to use all 4 as "soft" buttons. IE ditch the dedicated program function of the four keys surrounding the screen and use them all as soft keys instead.

For example:

O.......O

______

[.........]

[.........]

[.........]

[.........]

[_____]

O.......O

Ok, so in this orientation, portrait, the upper-left button would activate the start menu. The upper-right button would activate the close/X action. the lower-left and lower-right buttons would act as they do now as soft keys.

Then:

O [-----------] O

...[..............]

O [________] O

In landscape mode, since the start menu is still at the upper-left of the screen in the display but it is a different key the soft key for the start menu would change to the current upper-left key (or, the one that is the upper-right key in portrait) and the (now) lower-left and lower-right would be the new soft menu keys and the (now) upper-right would be the close/X key.

It just seems like this is an idea the developer should have seen, and apparantly either missed or ignored. I mean, if you make the soft key interface better, it makes the device more intuitive to use one handed making it more convenient to use the software menu system meaning you have less need for the hardware assigned dedicated program buttons it's using now.

Also, is it possible to assign the END key to close/x out of programs in all applications except when actually making a call when it would instead, act normally and end the call? It seems a pretty natural button to press to exit a programm and is a pretty common key press used in non-PDA cell phones.

What do you think?

PS - I'm using the T-mobile MDA (US version) and have only recently become a regular here so forgive me if I've missed something. Also, if anyone knows of a program that accomplishes these things, please point me in the right direction. Even if it costs, I'd look into it if it were quality.

PPS - Um, hopefully my description is good because the ASCII "art" is, well, pretty lame. I know the pictures are... er... bad to say the least, but hopefully it brings to mind what i'm talking about, that the four dedicated soft keys would control whatever on the screen was closest, either the two menu options or start and close/x.

DavMull>

Just on top of your message I discribed how I got rid of the

Cannot execute "StorageCard\smartskey\smartskey.exe:

1a) If not already done so, close and uninstall Smartskey as described in manual.

1b) Download and install

"Check Notifications" from here:

http://www.scarybearsoftware.com/ppc_cn_overview.html

EDIT: Program "Check Notifications" is removed from Scarybear's site.

Therefore I've attached it to this post.

2) Run "Check Notifications"

3) Delete the line containing the smartskey command (by tapping the line and choose "delete"). You might have to do this delete-operation one more time after soft reset.

You can now consider reinstall Smartskey again, but NOT ON THE STORAGECARD!

Simple the calendar and contacts application does not work. Not the original nor the Pocketinformant.

Using smartskey 41 everything is OK.

feature request - Speaker phone

Hey all,

I've been using smartskey for about a week now and love it to death...transforms the 8125 into a really great tool. I have a small feature request to make it (possibly) even better...and please forgive me for not readying all 31 pages of this post to see if it's already been addressed...I'm kinda sleepy :)

I love that you can customize the d-pad to execute the different options in phone mode (call history, contacts, etc), but the one thing I can't seem to find a way to map is the "Speakerphone on/off" feature. Would it be possible to add that functionality to the list of d-pad controls (e.g. x=5)? And since we're on the subject, the only other thing i have to tap the screen for is to hit the number 7 to delete messages in my voicemail. Perhaps another option of the d-pad could be a user-assignable number of the keypad.

These additions would make my phone the perfect tool, but I don't know if they're possible in the smartskey application. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!
