So i've seen the tips for how to disable showing the "connecting" bubble, but I'm currently working in a location with an intermittent signal, and it often shows the "cannot connect" bubble, after which i have to click on my browser in pointui's running apps list to resume browsing.

Any tricks to auto-dismiss that "cannot connect" bubble?

These settings took me from an average of 700-800kbps to 1-1.2mbps. They finally helped me break that 1000kbps barrier that Sprint told me I had availible.

(All are in "quotations" so they are HEX(hexidecimal). Sorry that's what resco exports. Enjoy)

can anyone else confirm it works before i try this????

Quick question. Does anybody know if there is a registry entry I can change to shrink the red area (see pic) horizontally? I want to move the bottom line up, the one separating the calendar to whatever comes up next, in my case I have rescoe battery, memory, etc... Thank you.

Actaully, the default value for this on my touch was 65536 (hex=00010000), so increasing it by only 2 is kinda pointless. I just raised mine by 25% to 81920 and I'll test that out for a day or so.

If those are the today plugins, you can change the order they are in.
SETTINGS - TODAY - then the ITEMS tab (I thinkt that's what it's called. It's the area where you can choose the diff today plugins to be displayed). Highlight one and to the right will be MOVE UP MOVE DOWN and OPTIONS.

Actually, you can correct me if I'm wrong, but the reason I went with
"TcpWindowSize"=dword:00010002
is because with any TcpWindowSize setting over 64K WindowsCE automatically enables window scaling therby enabling other options I put in there like Tcp1323Opts. I'm pretty sure the hex(10000) = dec(65536). Isn't that exactly 64K?
Since hex(10000) was WAY more effective than hex(18000) I figured the best bet was an even # just over 65536... 65538.
Can one of the dev's clear this up or weed out my extraneous dwords,please?
In the mean time check out MSDN library on the "Windows embeddedCE 5.0" section for tcpip IPv4 registry entries.
Thanks for the question and I hope I get a few answered too : )

"Windows CE uses window scaling automatically if the TcpWindowSize registry entry is set to a value greater than 64 KB."

I don't want to move them up and down i just want to shrink the space it takes up. For example let's say the calendar notification space takes about .5 inches vertically, can I shrink it to .45 inches.

ok, I didnt know about the scaling thing, but changing it to 81920 made no difference than changing it to 65538, so you're probably correct.

After some testing and tweaking, it seems that changing the timer wheel size to 5 (11 was my default) had the biggest affect.

On all those other dwords, where those already in your registry or did you have to add them?

[sc00b4s7eve]

Most were edits but I had to add the following:
"DefaultTTLREG"=dword:00000080
"TCP1323Opts"=dword:00000003
"MaxNumForwardPackets"=dword:00001000
"EnablePMTUDiscovery"=dword:00000001
"SackOpts"=dword:00000001
"NumForwardPackets"=dword:00000400
"IGMPLevel"=dword:00000002

If you read about Tcp1323Opts It says that WinCE makes the options availible IF Asked For. This way, If Sprint even has them enabled, WinCE asks.
I dunno, gonna probably start deleting, the one's I added, 1by1 and seeing which makes the biggest difference. I agree that the windowsize makes the biggest difference right off the bat but I'm looking for consistency whether I have 1or2bars or full bars of service and these have seemed to help.
Happy Hacking!
