Has anyone experienced issues with Activesync 4.1 not working properly after installing this application?

I installed it several days ago, seems to be working perfectly (thank you, by the way), but now Activesync is being stupid. I can't think of anything else I loaded other than this in the last few days.

Thoughts?

Edit:

Just uninstalled Smartskey by removing the .exe file from the Window/Startup directory, and doing a soft re-boot. Plugged it into my laptop, and it sync'd up just fine, so.... I can only assume that there's something wrong with the smartskey.ini file, which looks like this:

it's probably that it wasn't saved properly as a .ini using a notepad application

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Mellon:
bgsdks, not sure if this helps, but I don't think you should have the .exe in your startup folder? I think the .exe and the .ini need to be in their own directory and when you run the .exe it should create a .lnk in your Startup directory? Not sure if this will help identify your problem though?

update?

water,

Is there any plan to address the up/down arrow issue in the Calendar application? I'm using SmartSKey 0.52 on an HTC Apache and am having the same problem mentioned in this thread where the up/down arrows in the calendar application go forward/backward in days, instead of moving up/down in appointments/times.

Not sure if this is specific to the Apache, in which case I presume you can't fix it. It is a deal breaker for me though, in deciding to keep the app.

all things considered, this is a great app. thanks for taking the time to develop it. paypal donation is awaiting address of this slight bug.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] eahova:
Great program! I agree about the calendar navigation problems.

Now that with smartskey you can page up and down using the slider it would be nice to have the up and down keys actually navigate the time slots on the screen.

If you do an update to this application can you include a calendar override for the Day View, Week View and Month View to change the functions of the D-Pad to be single scrolls?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] water:
Re: update?

I am still finding why this happens. Not sure if it can be fixed or not, because override the navigation key is a little bit different from others.

backspace function

First I would like to say this is the best app for my Wizard.

And after using it for some time i thought it might be handy if the right wm5 button could be used as a backspace in phone mode.

This way i can delete a wrong number when dailing a number.

Don't know if more poeple would agree with me.

Just a little thought.

Keep up the great work

I'm proabably having the same issue as alot of folks. But I have yet to see awnser in this thread.

When I first used smartskey it was on my storage card. But I would get errors on wakeup. I obivoulsy didn't read too well the first time. So I followed the uninstall directions in the .pdf and reinstalled afterwards to the phone. I still get errors saying something like "could not execute /storage card/smartskey.exe". I have confirmed that the link in the startup folder is indeed pointing to the correct directory on the phone.

Change behaviour of Camera and Voice Control buttons

Forgive me if this has been asked, but I could not read all 27 pages of this thread!

I would like the behaviour of the camera and voice control buttons altered so that they both have to be held for a second or two before launching their respective applications.

My reason for this is that sometimes I press the camera button by mistake and my device becomes unusable for about 3 seconds while the camera loads. This would be solved if the button did not respond at all to short taps.

Is this possible?

OmapClock to 180 after turnoff and on

Hello,

First, I would like to say that I love this application and thanks to you for making it :)

I have a problem using it with OmapClock. I putted it to 240 and when starting the device, everythings are OK. If the device go on standby after 1min, when I come back from standby, the clock is 240.

My problem is when I use the on / off button to put it manualy on standby, when coming back from standby, the clock is 180 ?

I seached in the pages but didn't find any other topics speaking about this problem ? Am i alone with this case ? if not, do someone has an idea to correct it ?

I hate to be a nay-sayer in light of all the positive responses this program has received, and let me preface by saying that I think it's a very useful program in concept and kudos to the original poster/programmer for this contribution.

I have had nothing but problems with this program on my 8125 :(

Of the most severe, is that after installation, my activesync no longer connects with my 8125. It sees the 8125 and stalls on "connecting...". I don't have many programs installed on my 8125, and for two times there was a clear problem with activesync only after installing smartskey. First time without using Omapclock and second time using Omapclock in conjunction with Smartskey. I'm not sure if it's the notifications that messes up the system to the point where it's unrecognizable by my PC, but the problem is there.

Secondly was my 8125 would slow-down considerably while smartskey was installed. Menus would take an extra second or two to appear, and the spinning icon lingered on screen more than usual. Again, this was both with and without Omapclock running at 240. After removing smartskey, my system ran smoother and quicker.

Thirdly, removal of Smartskey doesn't remove the notification. I've had to use 3rd party programs to go in and clean out the notification queue.

Again, hate to be the naysayer, but after these problems I won't be installing smartskey again.

Great little program. I have small hands and reaching up to use press the start menu is a pain :)

Can you set the volume controls to do line by line instead of page up or down? Like in IE, can it scroll down slower so you don't feel like you're missing something? Maybe instead of page down, page up and down acting like the dpad might be ok? Can you set the volum controls to dpad?

Kinda connected to the above, I want to use the volume control to browse emails and other, but I don't think pgup and pgdown works in all programs, and I want it to work in all programs..

End Sub

End Module

I put it in the location on my storage card it was looking for and the only it does now on wake up or i turn it on, is have the color hour-glass thing appear for about 2 seconds, but it is much better than that dumb notification window where i have to hit ok. so give it a try if u want too.

Re: New version 0.53

Actually I am not using TomTom, but another GPS app called MapKing that sold in asian area that I think it use the same engine as TomTom.

In older version of smartskey, when smartskey is off, up/down key should be zoom in/out, but when smartskey is on, it change to scroll up/down. In version 0.53, it will behave the same when smartskey is on or not.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] markwica:
Re: New version 0.53

Well then there is a difference between mapking and tomtom: I am using smartskey 0.53 now. When smartskey is off, tomtom is scrolling up/down as it should. When smarstkey 0.53 is activated it will go up/down in tomtom's sound volume. So for tomtom and new smartskey 0.53 no different behaviour compared to smartskey version 0.52:(

You can, there are two options for this.

First of all you need the program made by armstrom wich I attached. install it and configure it through-start-settings-device lock.

Then you can bind it to a button through 1. start-settings-buttons or 2. with the help of AEBPlus (from http:\\ae.inc.ru). I use AEBPlus since it enables double, tripple and hold key presses to bind alternative apps to buttons.
