[General Questions and Answers] Rudegar:
it can be don using pan bluetooth but not bluetooth network connection over activesync

as when one take over the desktop the user is log'd out and that ends the activesync session
[General Questions and Answers] RoyVegasPinoy:
Thanks for that info. So I can do this with Vista Home right? I don't need Ultimate?

Can you please provide some info on how to go about setting up PAN bluetooth and remote desktop, or a link to some good info even. Thanks..

Edit: Is having a PAN bluetooth the same thing as having my device paired with my computer?
[General Questions and Answers] RoyVegasPinoy:
Well after 6 hours of trying to figure out how to remote desktop via bluetooth, I've given up. I got stuck trying to set up PAN bluetooth, since I could not find the option for PAN Bluetooth anywhere; I only found LAN Bluetooth Network. My bluetooth device must not support it.

I'm still desperately looking for alternatives if anybody has any ideas, otherwise I'll have to resort to installing XP and do it with Innobec Sidewindow like I've done in the past. I was hoping I didn't have to downgrade from Vista though.

VNC for windows mobile won't work ?
[General Questions and Answers] RoyVegasPinoy:
VNC is remote desktop right? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I would need to have access to the internet in order to do this right? Can it be done via bluetooth?

Okay, regardless of that - I will attempt to do this if you can help me. If you have experience in this, can you tell me specific programs I will need to download for my phone and/or my laptop and I will try to go from there. Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] RoyVegasPinoy:
Edit: I've updated the first post with more details on what I'm looking for.

As I'm looking further into VNC, I want to repeat that the computer I would be accessing through my phone will be taken to different locations with me while I'm at work. I'm only reading of features about having remote access to computers at home, or some fixed location. So I don't know if VNC is for me. Please let me know if that's correct, otherwise I will look further into it.
[General Questions and Answers] RoyVegasPinoy:
I tell ya, I'm real dedicated. I've been on this since I posted at 10am this morning and I've learned lots so far.

VNC seems to be a cool feature and I've successfully connected my laptop with my phone with my WLAN. I've still yet to figure out if I can do it without a wireless router or internet connection, using just bluetooth or wifi adapter. If anybody here has the answer, please let me know.

Thanks.

Of course, as you're still on 1.1 it should be available.

This may be my dumbest post ever, but I find nothing on the topic. I lost my phone 2 nights ago and a nice lady found it and took it home to contact me. By then it locked to the default WM lock screen. Because it had locked, she could not see owner information and returned it to the restaurant. I got it back today.

Question, absent a Manila editor or 3rd party app (e.g. S2U2) is there any way to display owner information on the lock screen of a wm 6.5 sense (manila) stock rom?

M$ must have thought of this but I have no idea how to do it. Sorry if there are 1,000 posts somewhere on this topic.

Setting owner information

I have a UK TP2

The only way I can find to display owner info is

From Getting Started, Set background, Change background image, Items tab

Disable HTC Sense, enable Owner Into - there you can enter the data and set to display on start-up

I hope this helps
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dallasjim:
Thank you, but it does not show when the device is locked in Manila. M$ and HTC are soooo stupid!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kyrirhcp:
On my HTC Touch Pro 2 once its locked i get the owner information when i wake the device, but it seems that once you press the screen to access the unlock screen, you cant get back to the owner information unless you unlock the phone. Its a bit stupid that when you press the power button to put the device to sleep it brings up the owner information every time, but when its locked it doesnt. Pretty stupid if you consider that the only time you really need the owner information to be constant is when you lose your phone or it gets stolen!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] afn691:
I've been googling the whole weekend and did not find anything. Still searching.

Does somebody have any idea about how to show owner info ? As TPC knows the way to move right/left/down the "slide" button, is there a way to add the owner info to the screen ?

(I know S2U does have this option, but I mean using the built-in new unlock feature in WM6.5)

Ok, I've found a solution. You can change the text that appears under the slider (usually 'slide'). I've changed to my name followed by my phone number.

You can find it here.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] afn691:
It's a good (provisory) solution !! I think it's the best way to tell whose is the device or what to do in emergency case.

Now, what about connecting what is inside the sentence in the .cpr file to another file ? Does somebody think it's possible ? Or maybe the .dll file could be adapted to read from the "username" keys in the registry ?? (sorry for my question, I have no idea about programming)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
Another way

I changed my welcomehead.192.png file to my own picture, and included text in the picture with my name and a request to call a phone number if the phone is found. All you need to have is a program that can put out a 480X800 PNG and be able to add text.

EDIT: The file has to be moved to the \Windows directory. This file says up for almost a minute when the phone boots.

Setting Owner Information on Touch Pro 2

The option to do this easily was removed in 6.5. To enable this follow the advice below:

1. Navigate to Settings, All Settings, Today

2. Click on the Items tab

3. Disable HTC Sense

4. Enable “Owner Info” and tap OK.

5. Enter the Owner information that you would like displayed on the Today screen.

6. Highlight the "Owner Information", and go to the Options tab

7. Check that the "When the device is turned on Display" Identification information is enabled

8. Go back to Item 1 and re-enable HTC Sense

9. The Owner Information will now show when the phone is locked
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DebbieNY13:
EDIT: My ROM's Chef said that selecting the 'Owner Info' option will not allow the 'Options' button to function even though 'Owner Info' is enabled for the ROM that I am currently using. However, I was successful in changing my lock screen text by using the 1st posted method above (Customize or Remove Lock Screen Text).

I edited both "TapOrSlide" and "SlideToUnlock", because I noticed that my custom text would not display if I received a notification. Also, keep the number of characters to a minimum, so that it displays correctly. If it is too long, the far left and far right characters will fall off the screen.

Hmm, wonder if there's a way to add additional lines to the displayed text??? ;)

Many thanks to the original poster for posing a question that I didn't even know I needed to know! :D

Thanks so much for this, however, for some reason the "Options" button is greyed out (unavailable) in the Today Screen Item Settings page even though I have Owner Info highlighted... Damn! May have to try the other method. Anyone have any success with either?

I've also sent a message to my ROM's Chef asking if this is a bug or whether this is an option that was somehow left out of the build that I'm using.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bktilt2:
jamiemckee posted a good solution that I use. Make a reg edit to revert back to the WM6.1 Device Lock & do away with the 6.5 Lockscreen. Just your Today Screen shows.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\LockScreen\Enable

Default Value: 1 (for Sliding lock screen)

Changed Value: 0 (for soft key lock a la wm6.1)

I found this because I actually WANTED to disable the default WM6.5 lockscreen as I prefer the soft key unlock, partly because of the memory the sliding lock uses, and also because I want to be able to see the gorgeous sense 2.5 interface when I turn my phone on to see the time.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Izagaia:
This functionality has to be in the 6.5 OS somewhere. I used to have a TouchPro 2 with 6.1 and it displayed the owner information during power up. To get this information to appear on my Tilt 2, I had to download and install an app called SKTools. Now I have an applet in the Personal settings under the Settings option in the start menu where one wasn't before.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Rick76:
Thank you for that Trirab. I actually had the opposite problem; I wanted to STOP my Owner Information from showing on start-up. I was getting sick of seeing it but couldn't for the life of me figure out how to stop it from showing up.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] afn691:
I GOT IT !

Dunno how i got it, but IT'S WORKING !

I had to flash again my Blackstone, because some apps went wrong.

When it was flashed and ready to work, using Energy ROM of WM 6.5.1, I began to restore some apps using a backup.

The Blackstone had a problem with the ringer, and I couldn't configure it: When I tried to go to settings-sounds, I could not change anything.

So, I got some of my old registry files for hacking volume level and, also, ringtone.

Then, it happened: I had also the registry file from my Kaiser ( WM 6.5.3 23016), where I CAN see my Owner screen. And I imported this registry file to my Blackstone.

I rebooted, and... it was there. The white screen with my data. I got it, but nothing special was done... except I didn't configure the Blackstone internally, I imported the registry file.

The key to export from another place is: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Owner] I think the 6.5.x last versions will show the info as it was configured on the original place (show name, show notes, not show...)

For those who have no second device, the best way is creating the file from virtual device. I think it must work.

I have both phones, TP2 from Telstra and now a Tilt 2 from ATT, I am on ATT network.

My Telstra running only 850 for 3g gets a much better signal than my ATT tilt 2 running both 850/1900, I have used them side by side and the Telstra always out does the tilt 2.

I have used the same radio with the same cooked ROM on both phones side by side, I have tried different radios in both phones and found radio 4.49.25.17 to work the best in the Telstra and radio 4.47.25.24 (ATT) worked best in the tilt2. I did not dump my shipped radio 4.48 for the tilt2 so I have not been able to test it, does anyone have a copy?

Concussion, is the radio hardware of better quality in the Telstra?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] i_z:
Hi Alwayslearning,

Thanks for that post. I am very torn in what to do, I am seriously contemplating to buy the telstra version because instead the tilt2:

-I like the design much better

-I hope to avoid paying $30 for the internet instead my present $15

-I would buy unsubsidized anyway

but I feared that the 850MHz is not proper 3G coverage without the 1900 band.

Did you ever run into not having 3G with the Telstra where having 3G with the tilt2? Is there any way to find out where is 1900MHz coverage?

What area in CA do you use it in? (I am mainly in LA, CA and Silicon Valley, CA)

Where did you purchase/where would you recommend purchasing the Telstra version?

Thanks very much!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] alwayslearning:
I am in O.C.I have used my phone all over O.C. and some of LA, I have never run into an area where the ATT tilt 2 had 3g and the Telstra didn't in fact it has happened the other way around. I have had a strong "H" on my Telstra and my tilt 2 had an "E". At work the tilt 2 would go back and forth from "G" to "E" and the Telstra stayed at "H" sometimes it would go to "E". At home the Telstra would be from 2 bars to full bars on "H" and the tilt 2 would have 2 bars sometimes 3. :confused:

I got my Telstra from http://personaldigital.com.au. I have decided to make the Telstra my everyday phone.

edit: forgot to tell you I like keyboard of the Telstra better and it has two cameras as ATT now has video sharing it could be useful, I also like the color of the Telstra better as well. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] i_z:
Thank you so much for the info. I am really leaning towards getting the telstra.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pinoymutt:
I think in Southern California (and maybe NorCal too), AT&T uses mostly 850 because their arrangement with T-Mobile pretty much involved them giving up a lot of the 1900 to TMO a few years ago in this area. I think in other parts of the country it may be different where they rely more on 1900 where they didn't have the roaming sharing agreements with TMO.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] alwayslearning:
that helps in understanding the 850/1900 issues. I am wondering if Telstra has a better chip in it for it's radio, that would explain the quality difference
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pinoymutt:
If I were a betting man, I would think the chip is probably the same, but maybe software implementation on the Telstra version is better tweaked.

Apologies for posting this message in the wrong place earlier.

Hello,

I've bought about 6 packets of the official protector (2 in a pack) here in the UK and found that all of them have a diagonal crease in the top right corner, just above the hole for the camera. It was driving me mad. Every time I finally got one to stick down properly there was a long diagonal air bubble in the corner which looked crap.

I complanied to Handtek (GPSK) and they at first they told me I had either caused the crease myself or wasn't putting them on properly. I finally convinced them to open a packet and look for themselves and they admitted they could see the problem. They said they would take it up with the manufacturers but when I checked back the next week they told me they had lost the protector so they couldn't do anything! I had also sent 3 unused packets with the same crease back to them but 3 weeks later they still haven't arrived although the post here is a but messed up at the moment.

I called another company (Clove) and asked if they had the same screen protectors. I explained the problem and someone opened a packet and found the same fault. So it seems a widespread thing.

Yesterday I got an e-mail from Handtec telling me they had received a new batch but that they all had the same crease and now they had something concrete to take up with the suppliers/HTC.

At first I thought I was going mad but now I see that they have accepted it is a problem and are doing something about it. It may sound like a small crease is a tiny problem but it means the protector won't stick down properly and there will always be a big air bubble in that corner. Handtec say I'm the only person to ever take this up with them. Is this true? Has anyone else come across this problem? If you've managed to buy official HTC protectors without this problem please let me know from where as I've run out and need more!
