7. When I install a cab, I usually download it to the storage device, when it asks whether to install to device or storage card, I usually specify device but once in a while I select storage card by accident but the program still shows up like the programs I install on my device. What is the advantage of installing it in device over storage card? and does it make a difference?
Thanks in advance.

I just want to say thank you for not opening up tons of different threads for all your questions! I hit thanks for you becuz of that. A lot of people not just the n00bs will post the same question all over place. I know that i have done it myelf in the past
7. Wesley has some good advice on installing on Sd vs. Main memory. I just wanted to throw my 2 cents in also. Some programs will only work when installed on the main memory. I keep all my cabs saved on my memory card but when install them i do it to the main memory. There are a couple that I have installed to my Sd card. The only way to find out is to install to the SD and try and run the program. If it doesnt work you need to install the main memory

Programs that run all the time I would strongly recommend installing to the main memory. Installing programs that you only use now and then I could understand installing to the SD card.

Personally I install everything to the phone itself. Back in the days when you only had 32MB or 64MB you where really picky on what you installed to the main memory, now with the phones that are out I think they have plenty of memory to install just about everything to the main memory (exclusion for the people that think they need to have 200 programs install god only knows why).

I agree about the 200 programs thing. I know that i have quite a few but i actually use all of mine,

Alright one more question, I finally figured out how to sync my phone to my outlook exchange server. Now when I lock my phone the lock screen shows my calendar with the next upcoming task. Is there a way to disable it?

[Wesley762]

Find a different lock screen to use.

Thanks Wesley but have to stick to the default lockscreen due to password protections..
I am back again with my questions though
1. how do I remove the wording "sent from my Sprint HTC Touch Pro2" everytime I send a email. I have to delete it everytime I send an email but is there a way to remove the statement from coming up in the first place.
2. I installed the Jd task manager but it is messing up my cookie home tab so had to remove it, do I have to install some skd certs before I install the jd task manager? or is there another way to close a window by pressing the x button.

go to Start>Programs>Messaging>Menu>Outlook E-mail (should default to this as the choice)>Signatures. from there you can either check/uncheck signature box and also have the ability to change your signature to something more suitable for work (if you're using work email).

1) its in the messaging optioss somehwere, same place you change the text messaging signature

2) im not sure if it needs sdkcerts but it wouldnt hurt to install. i know it should be installed before you install a taskbar, possibly even CHT.

Are you sure its the same in Sprint stock 6.5 rom?

As bad as I dont want to live up to your signature, when I click messaging i get two options msn messenger and tap to set up account, that didnt work. When I tried to go into account settings for the outlook that I have set up there is no such option as to edit signature all it has is the time to sync during peak hours and what sync such as calendar, mail etc.

It's not in Outlook, it's where Puff601 said.

Try Message>All Messages>Menu>Tools>Options>Signatures

[pistu]

Got it thanks Puffs, it is in Start>Mail>options>signatures>outlook> uncheck the box to remove signature.
