Linking Contacts and Tom Tom

Hi,
Is there a way that we are able to go to the contacts in the HTC-P3300 and hold the contact so that it links with the Tom Tom to navigate to that specific destination?
Thanks,

I don't know about going TO TomTom FROM contacts, but you surely can do it from within TomTom:
With TomTom active, tap the screen to bring up the options menu. Then click "Navigate To." Now go to the second page in that menu and you should see the "Contact" option. Click it to browse your contacts and navigate directly to the ones for which you have addresses. It's pretty cool!
Good Luck!

While in Contacts list, long click on a contact with an address and a menu will pop-up, select "Navigate to".

Hi Zerimar I have tried that however there is no navigate to. I did a factory restore which reinstalled 6.020. I also installed the 6.010 back to 6.020. I have called TT and they are supposed to get back to me.
Thanks,

Stupid me. I replied without checking my device. This options seems not to be available in tt6 but I just installed the PIMAddIn.cab from tt5 and it works.

could you email it to me at [email protected]?
Where do you install it.
Thanks,

I've checked the .cab file with WinCE Cab Manager and I have not found any registry entries. It just installs .dll files in the \Program Files\Contact Navigation\ directory thus it should work on WM5 devices. Remember my device is only running W2003SE.

Hi,
I took the PIMAddIn.cab and installed it in the same folder however when i double click on it all my contacts open up. The navigate to is still not there.

Hi Zerimar,
I followed your instructions. Everything works now.
Thansk a million!!!!!!!!!

Just curious guys, what is the advantage to getting the option within your PIM contact list when TomTom is going to open anyway when you navigate? Why go through all that work to hack an option that is available to you from within the program itself?
Just wondering...

TomTom 6.02 has the "Navigate to contact"option! You do not need extra cabs to do this. When you select "Navigate to" you then use the arrow to the next page, and the 'Contact" option is very clear for you to select.

The original question (in a rephrased fashion) was the possibility of activating tt6 and navigating to the contact's address from Outlook Contacts. This was a feature in tt5. With the small trick, I can have it both ways.

In a way I agree with your line of thought, but when dicin raised the question and I found out that "Navigate to" was no longer an option in Outlook Contacts the idea poped-up. The hack took about a minute and doesn't occupy much space. Now we can have it both ways.

I noticed on the HTC-P3300 using the feature does work however it is slow. That is the only part that is slow. I also noticed that company names do not show up. If you use contacts and calendar heavily through outlook it is much faster than going within TT.

You're welcome dicin. Btw, you can retain the PMAddIn.dll and the PMAddInXXX.dll (XXX=language of choice) and delete the rest.

I think it looks slow because tt has to fist load, etc. What do you mean by comany names do not show up?
Btw, I pm'd you regarding quick gps fix, any ideas?

If I have in my outlook a contact listed by company name only it will show up as a blank listing in the TT contact list.
In the TT it is slow when you type in the contact list letters to find a specific name otherwise everything else is great.
The HTC works very good even though the processor speed. I have been able to have the wifi, gprs, phone mode and GPS navigation on all at once with no problem. It will navigate and receive calls with no problem. The volume is great and the reception is outstanding. I have had many phones and I mean many. I also modd all kinds of Moto phones and this is the first WM5 and must say i am impressed.
I have read your PM.
Where do you want me to send the files? It will be towards the end of the day.
Cheers,

Copy the cab file somewhere in your device, ie. Storage Card. Using an Explorer program, go to where the cab file was saved. Double-click on the cab file and do a soft reset. If you want you can delete the undesired dlls from the folder \Program Files\Contacts Navigation\. Be sure to keep the PIMAddIn.dll and the dll file of your language choice.

Is There A Real Fix For Disappearing Email Accounts?

POP Email accounts and elements of Network setting disappear once in a while.
It happens with all the new ROMs. I've done the mUn thing, where one opens a connection, stops it and restarts. But the accounts still disappear, sometimes after weeks of use, sometimes after just a few days.
There is an app to resurrect the missing email account, but after you still have to input servers and address. Just very annoying while traveling.
What is the damned problem and is there a permanent solution?

I have changed the file registry type (File based registry) from "Hive" to "File" using tweaks2k2 and it seems ok, someone else needs to cross check it

please explain
I also would avoid this repetitive problem , could you please how to try , step by step , in simple words ?
thanks

Thanks, taiseer999! I just changed to File, keeping my fingers crossed. BTW, how long have you used it after the change without loss of settings?
tower5, you need tweaks2k2 (it has 3 changes trial and go to System Tricks/Collection 5. Check File Based Registry (WM5).
Hopefully this works (it sounds like it should.)

P.S. Perhaps. if this really works, the ROM chefs can integrate it into the ROMs. Is there any disadvantage to using File rather than Hive?

I´ve been following all the steps that mun_rus wrote down and after the last upgrade I didn´t do it right away so I lost my e-mail accounts quite a few times and when I try to set the same account up with the same name and settings the pda pops up a message saying that there´s another account with the same name and I don´t know where and I don´t see it.
But now I guess it´s working fine,after several soft resets my new account it´s till there.

It doesn't work, unfortunately:-(
Checked mail last night, a little later went to check again, and the email account had disappeared.
This is just crazy....
What is the reason this is happening? To ALL the new ROMs?

yes, mailrepair.exe do recover the mail account.
but the main problems is not only about mail account, it is a datebase lost or cert lost.
even u recover the mail account and setup all the password again to make the wm system continue working, it became unstable anyway.
once account lost, best way out is hard-reset.
in daily use, avoid to reset the handset as much as possible.

It's a security feature of wm6, bugged of course.
Disabling file system cache can help (I've never lost email account until now) but you still have to take care to close PO before a soft reset.
Ciao

been using RUU_Trinity_DOPODASIA_WWE_3.00.707.18_6275_1.46.30.11_108_Ship for a good while and the e-mail accounts don't even think of disappearing...so there you go...

I have also used Dobod-wwe in my HTC since it was released and never had issues with mail accounts. Also tried pdaviet and Bepe but original dobod was most stable for my HTC.

Still......Issue

just started using ax3l's lite rom, wi-fi settings and mail accounts seemed to stay there no problem untill I installed network wizard. After that everything disappears after every reset. Could that be the cause....?

just when I got most of my apps neatly reinstalled and all....has to be done all over again...at times like these I really have to fight the temptation to throw the thing against the wall...Thankfully I got an N95 as well which never loses settings so back into the pocket the P3600 goes, hail the N95
will update on that settings /mail accs business when I get the nerve to reinstall everything again

Yay, got my accounts back! Thanks!

I'm not going to pretend to know what I'm talking about, but I can tell you that in the past, it was mentioned that it had something to do with the Old and New Kernels. The Old one (WM5) was fine, while the new one (WM6) is not. At least that's what I THINK I remember.
Anways, for whatever reason, my ROMs don't have this problem. Here are a couple that I know avoid it:
[KITCHEN+ROMS][WWE][Jun.28.2010] WM6.5.1 23504 - WM6.5.5 23569 M2D Blue Re-Visit
[KITCHENS+ROMS][WWE][ITA][Nov.04.2009] WM6.5 23504 - Sorry NOT FOR P3600i! OFFLINE
[KITCHENS+ROMS] [WWE] [10.27.2009] WM6.5 23081 - Sorry NOT FOR P3600i!
I have used the same Kernel in Most all of my Kitchens, so maybe that is it...

Problem to sincronyze the calendary

Hello,I have one Elf,and I have upgraded my ROM,now,I can´t sincronyze the calendary.
I have reinstalled the last ROM,the active sync,and done a hard reset,and it is all sincronized excep the calendary.
How can I solve it?
Thanks

1st, make sure activesync is set up correctly. When your device is connected and synchronizing, do you see calendar listed on the activesync screen? If not, once it is finished synchronizing, click tools, options on the activesync menu and make sure there is a checkmark next to calendar. If this doesn't work, post a reply and we can try some other things.

It is marked,but it doesn´t work.
I have tried now in two computers,one with office xp and the other with office 2007,and it doesn´t work,i can´t sincronice anything with the calendar

Very Strange.
1. Did Contacts Sync ok with both computers you tried it on? To make sure, create a new contact on PPC called Test with a bogus phone number and see if it shows up on desktop.
2. Are you using the built in Calendar Application on the Pocket PC or have you installed a 3rd party program like pocket Informant, etc.
3. Make sure you are syncing with the correct profile on the computer. Go to Start Menu, Control Panel, Mail, and click on Profiles. See how many are listed. If only one, you should be ok, if multiple, make sure correct one is selected.
Reply back with results.
Thanks,

Uninstalling MS Voice Command

Does anyone know how to uninstall this? When i try to do it on the phone or over Activesync I get a warning message that it could not remove all of the program and ultimately the entire program is still installed. It takes up too much room for what it does (and I think there's a battery issue with it as well) Thanks

Try using the Uninstall application of this program: http://www.dinarsoft.com/memmaid/ Once the program is uninstalled, just delete the remaining folders and then run the Quick Clean and that should remove all remnants of the Uninstalled program.

Thanks. It helped to remove mobitv and xmradio which were entirely useless to me and took up a lot of room. However, when I tried to uninstall memmaid it left a few bits behind - there are folders remaining in the program directory... in fact the MobiTv icon still exists in my program directory leading me to beleive that it's just deleting a folder and not removing the program from my reigstry, etc. It's a start though. Thanks again

Re: uninstall
This may be a silly question, but was VC cooked into the rom originally or did you install it yourself? If it was cooked in you will not be able to remove it. (As is true for any cooked in application.)
Best wishes,

Quick question; when using MemMaid, did you use the Quick Clean with all items checked? by default not all are checked.
Dead shortcuts
Dead Registry
Bad uninstall (files)
Bad Uninstall (Registry)
These are just a few items I would make sure are checked..

Thanks for the help guys. It was not part of a cooked rom and after checking the boxes on memmaid and rebooting a few times VC is gone (and 5 megs are free). After uninstalling memmaid (it's 900k - I can't keep that around ) it just left an empty folder called "Handyswitch actions" that I'm just going to manually delete. Thanks for the help. I was this close to deciding between keeping Skyfire and outlook

Sorry, during install of MemMaid you could of unchecked the handyswitcher and whatever extras you didn't need and they wouldn't have installed. Glad to see you has some success though.

You can't install MS VC to storage card and have it work correctly unfortunatly.

I've had same issue whilst installing MSVC to storage card and had tp install it to phone. I also had same problem trying to uninstall it. Luckily I wanted to upgrad my ROM which solved the problem

As I've been using my phone I learned there's a new glitch - if I use autocomplete to fill in text or complete an email address, etc it crashes my phone (I think pasting text does too). This didn't happen a day ago so I think there's a connection to the uninstallation of VC. I've reset it 5 times and it's always the same result. The screen becomes nonresponsive, switching to landscape mode takes about 45 seconds and doesn't solve anything and both the onscreen keyboard (Happy Tapping) and the hard keyboard fail to function. If I wait it out I can get the start menu to drop down and get to the Today screen but navigation is still brutally slow there and the email sits. I Use o2plus and it shows apps are running but doesn't state them (it's pOutlook that is frozen). Any ideas? I wish PPC had 'last good state' like Windows... thanks again

I have VC on my memory card and have no problem... Dont know why you have though.

[Q] My Facebook app will no longer refresh. Anybody else?

Tilt 2 with the new ROM. Whether I use the app that is in ROM (1.07 I think) or the newer one from Marketplace when I tap "refresh" I get the hourglass (or whatever you call the circling dots now), but no refresh. I can post status updates. If I delete the facebook files from the root when FB first loads everything will be current, but no refreshing. I have tried uninstall, reinstall etc. No luck. I've been running the new ROM for a couple of weeks and this just started so i am assuming the ROM is unrelated.
Is anybody else having this issue (maybe it is a FB issue), or know anyway to fix this?

Same here, on the october stock 6.5 ROM.

Same...
I am having the same problem...
I was using Energy Sept, 7 ROM and Switched today to Sept, 24 ROM and still having this issue.
Went to marketplace and download latest version of FB and still having this issue? I logged out and logged back in and it refreshed but, It doesnt always work.
Someone please help us out...

I was just having a similar problem. Logging out and back in will let you refresh but only once.

Same here... I was just looking around to see if anyone else was having trouble. I'm running 11-SEPT Valkyrie_v7.4 FireStorm-LEO 23135 with Facebook v1.1.0.17.
KC

Same problem here ¬¬ I don't know what's happening with this app

I assume the problem is that Facebook has been through some changes, and Microsoft doesn't have time/interest to update their client.

Well I'm sorta glad to see that it's not just me

Happening to me too ... bummer

i have the same problem.
Does anyone get information from microsoft?

Add me to the list too

Please, complain here: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsmobilehelp/thread/79d1e81a-84df-4cbb-b258-c563b8a678bb
Lets see if Microsoft can hear us this time...

im in the stock-factory rom and its the same, no refresh in facebook

Mine hasn't worked for a few weeks now.

Mine has also stopped working.

Facebook App Solution
I'm having the same problem so I googled it and there was a solution (forgot where or who). Anyway, open file explorer and go to device. Now look for files that has the name facebook (I deleted 3 including a file named fbmail) and delete them, them soft reset. Now log-on to your FB account and everything should be as before.

I've had the same issue, and I'm affraid that Windows Mobile related questions will remain unanswered... This might not solve your problem guys, but this is the workaround that I currently use (already posted it in other forum):
