I had this problem with Calendar Plus. BT went totally unreliable and I would get "bluetooth not found" errors. Ended up removing Calendar Plus and all was good again.

ianwood,
Well, I have problems with an icon only. The bluetooth itself is working fine. I was reinstalling everything today after a hard reset and was specifically waching for that issue. After installing Pocket plus the BT icon disapeared.
@Gevor
Did a clean install last weekend.
Also SPB Pocket Plus 2.5 build 2084
Still have the Bluetooth icon in the corner (did a few resets also)
So nothing wrong overhere

porblems at Pocketplus
there are some problems with pocketplus running on xda2 and mini..
you will not be able to see the storage card indicators as it has bugs in it. that's why SPB has disabled them (this is what i read from their website forum spbsoftwarehouse.com)
BT icon gone? have a read at pocket breeze website forum. this is how you overcome this problem:
There is a workaround for this problem.
It's not pretty, it requires hacking the registry, but it works.
I found it at http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showthr...7403#post397403, but had to make a slight adjustment.
I assume that you know
- How to install form a CAB file
- How to create and edit a shortcut on your Pocket PC
- How to edit the registry on your Pocket PC
Ready? Here we go:
1) Download NoPluginsToday (you'll most likely want the ARM version) from http://www.ictinus.com/NoPluginsToday/
2) Install the CAB somewhere. Make sure you know the exact location of NoPluginsToday.exe (e.g. \Storage\NoPluginsToday\NoPluginsToday.exe)
3) Create a shortcut to NoPluginsToday.exe in \Windows\Startup. Name this shortcut ZzzNoPluginsToday, so that it is last in the list of shortcuts to be launched.
4) Start a registry editor, and go to HKLM\init. Look for keys named LaunchXX. You'll want to create a new String key named LaunchYY, where YY is a bigger number than any of the XX you found. I created Launch99. The value for LaunchYY is the exact location of NoPluginsToday.exe (e.g. \Storage\NoPluginsToday\NoPluginsToday.exe) you looked up earlier.
Now you're set! Do a soft reset, and see your Bluetooth icon again! You'll notice your startup time may be a little longer.
How does it work?
The BT icon disappears because of a timeout issue when loading plugins.
We solve this by using NoPluginsToday, which switches all Today plugins off, remembers the settings, and reactivates them the next time it is executed.
By calling NoPluginsToday twice, once via the registry (early) and then again via \Windows\Startup (late), we "postpone" the loading of Today plugins until after the BT icon has been activated. That's your longer startup time for you.
Hope this helps!

sheggario
Thanks for the tip, will try it out.
Been running PocketPlus 2.x on my Qtek S100 since the day I got it and no problems with the BT icon so far.
Same here .. PPlus2.5 on a Qtek s100 since they started to deliver them in Sweden..
Np at all ..
Be sure U run latest build..
Maybe its the rom in our qteks that makes it work... ??
Carlis
running Pocket Plus 2.5 since a few days.
no problem at all with BT icon.
Just missing Storage Card icon on Today screen.
Changed register with regedit (as posted on the Pocket Plus 2.2 thread) and now i have my storage card icon on the desktop.

rilot have you tried Hudson Phone Dashboard. Does it work as well?
Thanks
Just checked.
Yes it does.
try looking at the lists of programs which works on himalaya and blue angel

Hi,

By the way, Anyone ever successfully installed Money 2005 for PPC?
I tried to install it. It installed successfully, but when ActiveSync 4 sync the money database, a box just came out saying "Reading device databases" and stays there forever. No sincronization at all...
Best Regards,
You may already know, but MS has released Money2006 for PPC.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...65-42f5-4dca-b301-9f05a8583692&DisplayLang=en
I haven't tried it, but maybe it will solve your sync issues? If not, then we ought to slap MS for not even preparing their own software for AS4 and WM5.
WM2005 and software working (not??)
In relation to these:
SPB PocketPlus 3
Resco File Explorer
Microsoft Voice Command 1.5
I couldnt get them to work. SPB works for "quicklaunch" on the today screen, but no forced "close", no battery indicator, no PIE tweaks etc.
Resco couldnt even see the windows directory, and all Icons were not displaying correctly, and MSVC installed but doesnt work properly, and now wont install as I cant even get the icon out of settings.
If somebody can help me to get these to work, wonderful, maybe I have old versions? I love these 3 products and would be grateful to anybody who can help get them to work.
use the latest versions of resco exolorer and spb produts(plus,weather,gprs). they works
SW use in Jasjar(tested all working)
Pocket Paint
Sound Editor
VT sketch
wordmateha
winzip
games
Flux challange
sky force
billiards
Well, I currently have:
Working perfectly:
SPB Pocket Plus 3.1
Pocket Weather
Resco Explorer
Resco Radio
Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide
Tweaks 2K2
SK Tools
One For All Solitaires
Worms World Party
Working and Usable:
Pocket Breeze (Some settings screens don't display perfectly, but it doesn't affect usability)
Pocket Music Bundle (Folder selection screens have some corruption, but after setting it up to load my entire music folder into the playlist at startup, everything appears in my playlist without any problems)
Morphgear (You need to fiddle about with the 'Orientation' and button mapping settings to get the up, down left and right buttons to actually 'do' up, down left and right, as Morphgear refuses to run properly in landscape mode)
Not working:
Contact Breeze
I've also tried out the SPB Weather & Diary which work perfectly, but I'm happier with Pocket and Contact Breeze (when it's updated) and Pocket Weather, so I've ditched most of my SPB stuff.
So far:
Pocket Plus 3.01
Planmaker - but beware you have to install in portrait mode
Textmaker - " " " " " " "
Calendar Plus from MohairSofa - a little dodgy doesn't quite line up the list right.
OK, I'll add my successes and failures:
Full Details click here
Very Good:
SOTI Pocket Controller v5.04 with my own skin.
WebIS Pocket Informant 2005 R3 Beta.
SBSH Pocket Breeze v4.3.18
Lakeridge WisBar Advance 2 v2.4.1.10
TCMP BetaPlayer v0.66
SPB Pocket Plus v3.0.1
Pocket Hack Master 2005 v3.15.000
Total Commander Registry cleaner
With some issue or disabled feature:

SBSH Contact Breeze v1.1.0.1
CoPilot v5.0 GPS software
Rumored to work with some fiddling:
Tom Tom Navigator v5.1 GPS
Destinator 3 GPS
@Kevinnugent
In case of Planmaker have you noticed that once the available ram drops to around 15MB it stops working. The colourful circle spins for a short duration and then nothing happens. I do a soft reset which restores the available RAM to around 27MB and then planmaker starts working again till the available RAM again drops to 15MB or so.
I am using it on a JJ and this is a problem for me. For you and others I don't really know but would be obliged if you can test for me the operation of Planmaker at reduced memory conditions. Love to hear your comments.
Regards

This has been identified as an issue cause by PocketPlus, you should see whether you run the latest version 3.01 build 4036 or later.
An updated version of Planmaker is in the works though.
Just thought I would start a forum Dedicated to one location to document any Bugs that are known, and possible solutions. So if you have any known bugs, or if you have known tweaks, please post.
I have only had the JASJAR for 2 days now, and notice the following issues:
1. Significant amounts of my old software that was working on WM2003SE will not run on WM2005 for example:
SPB - The screen short cuts work fine, but the rest doesnt, no tweaks to PIE, no battery status, no "CLOSE" fix. This is a big problem, cause everything you open stays open unless you close it all via running programs.
KSE Fax - didnt work
Resco Explorer - didnt work
MSVC - didnt work, wont uninstall!!
Pocket Dictate - didnt work
Navman SmartST - didnt work, so didnt get to test the GPS port technology.
Flashdash - didnt work, per supplier working on a fix.
PHM Registry editor - didnt work
2. Text messages dont appear to be deleting, they come back on reset
3. Mortgage calculator due to VB Runtime not supported
4. Couldnt activate MS Reader even though its a microsoft product!!
5. No backup software which is a pain when you are installing software to test, and then cant install it, or your not certain its properly uninstalled
6. No VGA output, or cannot locate how to display on alternative screens such as data projectors. I got the back pack with the XDA II, but cannot find an option here.
7. Serious slow downs due to applications not closing
8. Seem to be a problem with the Blue tooth headset activating the voice command when its switched off.
9. calculator is still the basic model, not the advanced version you can get on your PC.
10. Cant find the registry hack to show the date not just the time.
11. Couldnt get avantgo to work.
12. Explorer still takes a very long time to explore the windows directory, and still doesnt allow a properties view on it.
Some of these might be because I simply couldnt be bothered tweaking some of these, or looking at possible fixes.
I can also see some serious memory issues and the need for a good SD card is going to be important. Speaking of which, allows the ability to automatically/select install to SD card, which is a bonus, dont need cabinstall anymore. Even so,
BUT OVERALL, I think its a nice device, only just released, nice and clear screen, great functionality, good WIFI without serious battery drains compared to what I am used to, BT Headset works usually. I am still to get the MMS and GPRS operational, and dont know anybody that can use 3G yet.
Synchronising music with WMP10 is a good feature, and it can be setup to synchronise your videos and pictures I think.
So, what do the rest of you think please list your bug bears, and if you see a fix great, and any suggested tweaks or software that does work on your devices would be great. Hoping for a long and fruitful post of consolidated tweaks and bugs.
resco file explorer on wm5
I upgraded to resco file explorer 2005 (half price if you last purchased 2003 version after 1 yr) . Try that version if the 2003 version does not work.
some of the stuff mentioned are not really bugs (resco explorer 2k3 works for me,slowdowns because of multiple apps running-> you need a task manager for this)
right now, I'm still waiting if this will ever support USB hosting (but I doubt if it is). I'm quite confuse with how tekguru came up with the conclusion that Universal can act as USB host. i tried inserting an external harddisk using the stock usb cable+female usb A+usb A, nothing happens
hey
i beg to differ...
the phm registry works just fine..
ive tweaked the date and time into the top bar thru registry
ive also changed the calendar softkey on the screen to run and display file explorer
resco explorer 2005 works just not the network part of it...
spb pocketplus with battery bar at the top of the screen works aswell
WM2005 Tweaks n bugs
Thats interesting, I will try to download updated versions then rather than those kept in my library and try again and will advise.
Does the "close" operation on SPB work ok?
Where did you locate the registry tweak?
I think I was using Resco 2003, a few have noted 2005 works ok.
Cheers
for closing app i bought this application called handyswitcher... i also know the close app in wisbar advance 2 also works i havent tried spb close app button..since i have the other two
spb 3
I downlaod and installed spb3. it seems to slow this thing down, but it does have the task manager.
the biggest bug I have is with skype, it just closes down suddenly?
magic button task manager is lightweight and its freeware. I'm having problems with WA2, I'll just install it later when a more stable build for wm5 will be available
avantgo installation
I have found that u can install Avantgo by doing the following:
1. Go to Avantgo website
2. Register
3. Download old wince version
4. install it on pc with pda connected and activesync active
5. upgrade to pocketpc version
6. do an activesync syncing (after choosing ur free channels)
thats it, u get avantgo on your system, but beware, it takes internal disk space...
Greetings
Nabil H
PS I guess M$ removed Avantgo from Rom because it offers now pocketmsn on universal and Avantgo competes with it, the old IE/Netscape story...
Can i ask you poeple with the new EXEC, or branded version, Looking at the pictures the microphone and speaker are on the same side as the LCD screen. If its closed (like a laptop) do you need to open it and spin the LCD round (like a tablet PC) in order to use it as a phone for a voice call
Thanks John

you dont need to open the lid. there's a Send/End call button at the side to make the call. problem is you dont have a way of knowing who's calling. that's where jabra bt800 or akon hbh660 BT headsets come in handy
thanks for the reply GM, that makes sence to use a Bt headset that shows caller ID, But as to answering it with the external buttons, and if the thing is closed wuth the screen inside, cam you hear the caller if you dont have a headset

Tekguru didn't come up with it - quite the opposite in fact. But he reported that ANOTHER site was reporting it worked
Microsoft Voice Command 1.5 has issues... it requires a manual install using the .cab file and seems to mostly work but causes problems with WM5.. and it won't uninstall.
also, I have found that you cannot copy text from a note and paste it into the body of an email using the tap and hold method. you must press fn+space bar to do it... this is a bug in WM5.

You can hear the caller anouncement with voice command installed.
the skype issue is caused by active sync
active sync turns itself on non-stop, I am constantly having to return to running programs and turn it off. skype needs memory, so it crashes when active sync is running.
Is there a registry tweak to stop the 'auto-on' feature of skype?
as for spb3, it does slow this down and make it buggy. I am losing it.
can't you just turn off auto sych into your AS?
NO Announcement with incoming calls. Its so low you cant hear sh..
no turning off active sync in options
the 'option' to turn off is simply gone.
I upgraded to the WWE BigStorage ROM v1.13, but the Blutooth-Icon is missing somehow...
It disappeared after I installed some software (actually on my device: Resco Explorer, TCPMP, SPB GPRS Monitor, SPB Diary, SPB Pocket Plus, CELab CAB Installer, Ericz Call Filtering)
does somebody know how to bring it back?

What causes your problem is that you have a lot of stuff automatically loading at startup. From your list, all of the three SPB applications and I would expect also the Call Filtering app.
The bluetooth tray-icon is also loaded at startup, but after the today screen apps. For some reason BTTray needs to be loaded within a certain time after reset, or it will not load at all.
The quick way to solve it is to "trim" your today apps to load a bit quicker. Like only showing the next 7 days in Diary.
This has been discussed here before, and If you search this forum for old postings you should find more info (and solutions).
those 15 seconds you can change in tweaks2k.net?
I'll try, thx
==>even starting with no single todayplugin and after removing the callfilter the icon is not back...
will have to live without it
greetz Stefan
icon reappeared, but greyed out...it says that there is no bluetooth-hardware installed on this device :shock:
wicked sick...
edit: weird: after starting in safemode and now coming back to normal starting mode he wanted to install a USB device...
1.time: didn't do anything, ckicled cancel, BT-Icon was greyed out again woth no installed device...
2.time: typed "BT" in, device showed a failure and didn't install it, BT-Icon still greyed out, but I could enter the blzuetooth menu without any problems.
-->activating blutooth made the icon appear normal, but showed that bt is inactive, the blue LED blinked, so I knew it WAS active.
Deactivating and activating now made the Icon get to work again
==> problem solved

Hi everyone!
I've got a strange prob on my Universal. It is a german MDA Pro flashed with the german Qtek ROM 1.30 and Radio 1.09. I've installed Pocket Breeze 5 withe some Plugins as Contact Breeze and iLaucher and Pocket Weather. My PIM is Pocket Informant.
All these are installed on SD.
Whenever I activate Breeze it works absolutely perfect. Then I switch the Pro off and switch it on again after a while. It comes to life and before it actually shows the today-screen it freezes and I have to reset
iLaucher, Pocket Weather etc. are deactivated when using PB of course. On the other hand these work as normal Today-plugins .... Installing PB to the internal flash didn't change anything.
Deactivating Breeze as today-plugin immediately solves the freeing problem ... !!!! ?
I didn't notice this behaviour with the T-Online ROM Version 1.20 / radio 1.06.
Another strange thing I found is that the Universal seems to automatically end some programs when going to 'sleep'. This concerns Pocket Informant and Flexmail 2006 and Dinarsoft Handymenu. Several other progs are not affected.
This is really weird and I'd love to have PB back to life sinece it ideally does what I need. I wouldn't like to change back to the 'old' T-Mobile ROMs.
Any idea is very much appeciated!
Thanks for your help

Hi Pernod99!
Thanks for the info! So I'll play with different install-targets.
I'll keep you posted with the things I'll (possibly) find out
Thanks again!

Damn you got me excited, i thought macromedia release a pocket pc version of their Breeze software, now that would be good.
Hi Ahrjay!
I suppose we're talking about different 'Breezes' ;-)
The Pocket Breeze here is Pocket Breeze from www.sbsh.net It's an Today Plugin integrating PIMs, Mailers, Meters and stuff.
Sorry for the false alarm
cheers

Hi Pernod99!
Well this seems to be the solution. I've reinstalled PocketBreeze, Contact Breeze and iLauncher to the devices flash
and soft-reset the MDA. Since then it seems to run as desired - fast and stable so far.
It seems PB doesn't like to be installed on SD, this concerns it's plugins as well. It urged me to reset the device frequently
until even the last PB-plugin had been removed from SD and shifted to the systems flash-mem.
There is an option inside PB that determines how Plugins are called. This usually is set to dynamic which means that the
plugin is initiated on first use after a reset. So everything runs pretty smooth until you call an application PB has to init from SD
-> crash after wakeup.
Setting the above option other values such as static doesn't alter anything since PB always has to init theSD and often crashes,
presumably due to timeouts. So PB and everything it has to init have to be installed to the devices flash for proper operation.
Thanks again for your help!
Have fun!

pontui ui on BA WM6 HELMI
Long process to get to installed programs or settings.Ocassionaly encountered problems with pockettv(blurred) and camera won't start.Soft reset is needed to overcome the problem. Installed Pontui using CAB file and after uninstalled using WM6 Remove programs, the software remained under /program files.Manually deleted pontuis folder, but the icons remained under programs.Unable to delete them. At bottom tray, can't delete Home(used to be tray for Phone).
Any advise to remove them?TQ
