hi,
go to power settings -> battery power and check " Turn on backlight when a button is pressed or..............."
hope this will work.

You may also want to go into settings > system > motion sensor and make sure it is set to what you want. You can set it to on oe off, change the sensitivity, or animation as well!!

syrguy, I'll ask you since I think you use spbms and you've already been very helpful.
I have two issues with spbms. The first is minor. Often when I exit or back out of a winmo or samsung part of the phone and go back into spbms I get the samsung keyboard popping up momentarily and try as I might I cannot figure out what's causing this.
Secondly, how do I configue the My Menu, Games, and Navigation in spbms as all these are empty for me and I would like to put things in there. I know I'm just missing something and I'm sure I'll feel stupid once someone tells me.

Hi there,
this is my first post on this forum site, sorry if i sound like an idiot..
i just have a few questions about the samsung omnia i900
im using ifonz, and have s2u2 s2b and a few other things installed
i was just wondering if there is any different keypads for writing sms that are free to download?
my other question is, is there a vlc media player available for download?

also the phone tells me that it can play divx video but will not play it unless i convert it into a smaller frame.
if anyone could help it would be appreciated. thankyou

Gatorbyte:

Don't worry about asking any questions!! As for the keyboard issue....I have that occasionally as well, and I find when I do, if I do a reset it usually disappears (it seems to be brought on by an occasional reset as well). Not sure if any of the keyboard tweaks would work on this, but it never really bothered me enough to look into it further since the reset trick seems to work for me.

As for the menus...If you use the Today screen, press + hold on the SPBShell tabs and a mini-menu pops up press Options. On the next screen, along the bottom are tabs...click on the Advanced tab...on that screen click the Menu button. From the actual shell screen (full OS Shell, not the Today screen) go to the Programs page, hit settings and there should be a 'Customize Menu' icon on that page...that leads you to the same page the other method does.

On the customize menu page, highlight the menu you want to add to, click Menu on the bottom hit Add, and then link....that will bring a list of installed apps to the screen...highlight the one you want to add to the menu you highlighted on the previous screen and click Done and your good to go!!!

If I didn't confuse you too much you should be able to populate all the menus the way you want. If I did confuse you let me know and I will see if I can describe it any better for you!!

Welcome to the community!!! Always nice to see new members to this growing family!!!

I haven't used divx, but I am sure you will get an answer in here. As for a free keyboard app, PocketCM Keyboard is the only one I can think of off-hand, but I am sure there are others: http://pocketcm.com/index.php

As for a video player (I assume that is what you meant with 'vic'? Please let me know if I'm wrong) there are a few. Here is a site with around 4-5 of them. I have heard good things about TCPMP: http://www.downloadatoz.com/media-player-for-pocket-pc/

Today I got a little problem pop up on my omnia. Everytime I send a message a get a "Message Sent" pop up and a really annoying sound, I cannot turn it off I have uninstalled VITO SMS Chat and VITO Fun Contact as they are the last things I installed before the problem started.

Also I have been getting an error report about a problem occuring with tmail.exe...

Oh come on....were ALWAYS nice in here...thats why PPCGeeks is sooooo popular LOL!!!!

Welcome to the community though, I hope you enjoy it !!!

Is reply to your request, I think this should do it for you:

How to disable/enable the "Message Sent" notification after SMS sent
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMs g = 1
To enable:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMs g = 0
(default = 1)

P.S. Gatorbyte....no sweat!!

VITO SMS-Chat is what turned on that notification, btw. It deletes the reg key, which is already set by default.
