Two questions on Touch Pro 2
- I've had my touch pro 2 for three days and love it! But moving from an old "dumb phone" and a Dell Axim PDA, I have two questions about the newer Windows Mobile interface.
On my Axim, I liked to keep my name and phone number on my "today" page. I've tried to add my contact info on my tp2's today page and could not do it. Am I missing something, or is this no longer an option?
Also... I'd always plug in my Axim at night and use it as an alarm clock/night light. I just set the power usage to "never shut off" when it was on external power. It made a great bedside clock, and in the morning was always fully charged. On the TP2 the power usage no longer gives an "always on" option, so my TP2 shuts down after a half-hour, even when it's plugged in! (The alarm application still works, but it's pretty useless as a bedside clock.) Is there a way around this??? It seems like a pointless change in the windows mobile software.
If anyone has a way around these issues I'd appreciate your help!08-19-2009 08:41 PMLike 0 -
I don't know of a solution, apart from maybe disabling TouchFLO...08-20-2009 12:59 PMLike 0 - I've had my touch pro 2 for three days and love it! But moving from an old "dumb phone" and a Dell Axim PDA, I have two questions about the newer Windows Mobile interface.

- Dave BlakeMod and Ambassador Team EmeritusNow that you have the power worked lets work on that today screen. What I like to do is use Touch Flow during the work week and at night and on the weekend I have a completely different setup. I use mToday to switch between my today screens. Based on your questions this might be useful to you I have attached the cab file for ya :thumbsup:08-23-2009 06:34 AMLike 0
- I know where you are coming from. Here's what I recommend:
If you like and want to keep TouchFlo:
1. Press the windows flag button
2. Press the left soft button (all setting)
3. Find the owner info icon and start that
4. Enter the info you want on the screen then go to the options tab and check the box to show this at power on
5. Then find the power icon (under system) and uncheck the power off while on external power
6. See if you like this set up
If you want to go back to the old today screen and get rid of TouchFLO:
1. Do 1 through 4 above
2. Find the today icon
3. Go to the items
4. Uncheck TouchFLO
5. Check owner
6. Do 5 above
7. See if you like this set up
I love how flexible WinMo is in the regard (unlike iPhone)09-05-2009 01:16 PMLike 0
