Disable Threaded SMS

 I'm using MoDaCo OmniaTHREAD to disable threaded SMS. It allowed me to switch between Threaded and No Threading of SMS.

You do not need to modify the registry anymore to disable the Thread SMS. All you need is to execute the software and select between Threaded or No Threading. Click Save and then Exit the program. 

Go to your Messaging Inbox and it will switch to the new interface that you have selected for your SMS Inbox.

Enable GPS faster without XTRA

There is a way in which you can enable the GPS without having the phone services switched on but it involves a modification to the registry on the phone. I would recommend using PHM RegEdit as it is one of the easiest to use.

Please follow the following steps that seem to help improve the time to get a GPS fix, without need to download XTRA data:
1. Go to Settings > System > Enhanced GPS and set both settings to "Disable"
2. Go to your device's registry, and see the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\

CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver
3. Change the following string values to nothing (don't delete them, just edit them and clear the value):
CurrentLogFile (originally \GPSID_log.txt)
OldLogFile (originally \GPSID_log.bak)
4. Soft-reset your device
5. With File Explorer, go to My Device, and delete the two GPSID_log files you see, and the file named xtra. If you don't soft-reset, you will not be able to delete some of them.
6. Check again the registry setting. Sometimes in rare cases it may revert the settings back - but that's a general WM problem.

If you have a data plan, I recommend you to use the XTRA downloads. You will not need to disturb the registry area of your Window Mobile Phone.

Wireless Network Connection Failed

Most of the wireless network used at home and free hotspots are using 802.11g. There are now new broadband router now using 802.11n especially if you got it free from your Starhub Maxonline Plan. In Singapore and Malaysia, most broadband users are using Linksys, Dlink and Belkin.

Omnia is able to connect to wireless routers using 802.11g. There are some Omnia users who are unable to connect to this type of wireless router as their Omnia has been set to use 802.11B by default. Go download & install trial version of SKTools into Omnia, then run Tune Up! and select Network tab (at the bottom), you will see 'WLAN 802.11G support = NO', change it to YES will do. You can also configure your wireless router to use 802.11B & G.

Linksys Wireless Router WRT54G

You can set your wirless router to used both 802.11B and 802.11G. Go to Wireless > Basic Wireless Settings and select Wireless Network Mode and choose Mixed. For advanced users, you can also set to use it for B or G only.
