I'm trying to get my database moved to my K-Jam from my PDA2K. I can't seem to make it work. I move the .sdb, but it won't open on my K-Jam. Not sure if I'm missing something.
Thanks,

This is what works for me: From the desktop SplashID app, "Export" all items in the PDA2K database to a .vid file, install SplashID on the KJAM setting the password to the same one as the desktop SplashID app and then sync. This will establish a new SplashID user (with blank data) in the desktop app with the same user name as the KJAM device name. Set the password for this new user to the same as on the KJAM SplashID. "Import" the saved database .vid file to the new user on the desktop. Make sure that SplashID is checked in the ActiveSync options and then re-sync. After that all the PDA2K data will be on your KJAM.

So there's not a way to just copy the database (or beam it) to my K-Jam?

Here's the strange part, I tried your suggestion but ran into a problem. I got the files into the SID desktop, but when I try to sync, it says the passwords don't match and it won't transfer. It takes the same password to open the desktop as it does to open the pda. Not sure what's wrong.
I keep getting "67 items unresolved" and password must match in order to sync. They do match though!
Thanks,
Tom
I don't know. This always works for me. I guess I would try uninstalling SID on the KJAM and then reinstalling it, making sure that the pw matches the desktop SID pw and then re-syncing. Seems like something is wrong with your pw somewhere so just redefining it to a simple one like "1234" on both SIDs and then syncing might be the first thing to try.
The problem that I used to have before using the procedure that I outlined before was that I would get duplicates of both the data items and the categories so I would sometimes wind up deleting all data and categories from both the desktop and PDA SIDs, then importing the data to the desktop SID from the .vid file and re-syncing. This would clear things up.
Sorry I am not more help here,
Frank
No problem....thanks for the suggestions. I just tried deleting everything I could find relating to SID and started over. No luck...password problem still. I've sent an email over to SplashData for help. Thanks again!!

I've had this several times after re-establishing an Activesync partnership. The cure is usually to reset the password on both the desktop and PPC a couple of times until they sync.

Ok, I have never had problems on my imate with AvantGo until the last hard reset - now (eventhough the software shows its synced up), the AvantGo default screen keeps coming up from Internet Explorer and the AvantGo connection options do not appear in control panel.
Anyone know of any way to "reset" AvantGo in WM2003?
Thanks,
Jon.
This problem has been discussed elsewhere (can't find the link at the moment). It is a known "feature" of AvantGo.
Basically, you need to sync with AvantGo once with the default 'anon<longNumber>' user name. This will trigger ActiveSync to re-transmit some DLLs and other files to your imate.
People recommended a sequence of removing the AvantGo user settings in ActiveSync, disabling/enabling AvantGo in ActiveSync, doing a soft reset. However, this never worked for me, so I can't give exact directions. I ended up re-installing ActiveSync after doing a hard reset to my XDA II.

Just managed to get my AVANTGO to work using tadzio's suggestion below are the steps I took
On PC open activesync selsct avantgo and click settings.
selsect the correct server profile and click properties
delete the user account details and click OK
click close
click OK
Activesynch will now sync and avantgo will copy the dlls to your device and will create the avantgo connections in settings connections if you did not have it already.
Now repeat the steps above but enter your avantgo user details and sync again to get your avantgo content
Thanks VERY much for that, I've been having problems for the last 2 days with AvantGo, I've reinstalled, resetup... bla bla bla.... but always had my user details in when doing a sync... After Del my user details all works 100%....
GREAT WORK GUYS...
Thanks for the info
a couple of months back i brought up a topic where i was experiencing problems with avantgo...namely i would always get a runout error when activesync tried to get the pages from the website. a helpful chap said it had something to do with my connection on a proxy server; this was true because our company does indeed use this type.
with that in mind; is there an app where you can sync the page directly to the xda? example; if i'm looking at the frontpage / homepage of cnn is there an app which will grab that entire page so as i can read it on the xda later?
cheers

On a PC, you can go to http://wap.oa.yahoo.com, and login to your yahoo account to read your emails, etc.
If I do the same from my XDA2, it says "Unable to connect: Ensure that your modems are present and inserted correctly, and no network card present".
If I try this with any other web site (e.g. http://www.bbc.co.uk) it connects and works fine.
Does anyone else get this, and does anyone know a way around it?
Thanks!
On my XDA, http://wap.oa.yahoo.com works fine.
But WAP stinks on a capable device like the XDA or XDAII. Why not use http://www.yahoo.com instead, or set up your Inbox to download your Yahoo headers and/or messages?
can i realy do that?? setup INBOX for yahoooo???
please show me how! i couldnt even set the outlook express on PC to do that!
thanks a million.

You can only do this if you pay extra for POP3 access to Yahoo emails - which I don't want to do as this isn't my primary email account.
Also, going through http://www.yahoo.com means you get all the ads, graphics, etc. Even over a GPRS line, this makes it quite painfull.

I just got a new XDA II and I could access Yahoo without problems. After an involutary hard reset all the O2 stuff got installed (seems it was not installed the first time I used the device), and now I'm having the same problem as you're describing. Has O2 added something "clever" so that if it sees "wap" in the path, it thinks it should use a wap connection? In any case I can't find these settings and delete it. I want it to work as it did before the hard reset! Help!
Try wsp://wap.oa.yahoo.com insted of http://wap.oa.yahoo.com
HTTP = PC
WSP = WAP
8)
cheers
WSP doesn't work either. Probably because that signals even more to the computer that you're trying to establish a WAP connection, which I don't want to do and which isn't set up either. The funny thing is that it worked before the hard reset, and I never had any problems on my old XDA I.
I managed to remove all the O2 stuff from the extended ROM, and after a hard reset, I can now access http://mobile.yahoo.com/mail again! Once you access http://mobile.yahoo.com/mail, the path changes to http://wap.oa... and from this point on it complained. Until I removed the O2 stuff. So now I'm happy it works, but I'd still like to know what settings O2 infiltrated to stop it from working. Does anyone have a clue?

I think it have something to do with Connection settings and or Registery settings for Browser ID string (User ID String)
example:
Of youre browser ID is "Mozilla/4.0(compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows CE; PPC; 240x320)" Than you w'll get a diffrent page if you have something else.
After I changed my Browser ID (to see more free stuff from orange GRPS/Orange World) I cant get the colored page of Yahoo Too.
Can you post here youre Browser ID please?
To see youre browser ID string, Visit http://www.showip.com on youre PPC, and let me know please.
Cheers
I just bought an XDA2i and am having the same problem with the mobile Yahoo site. Since nobody has managed to unlock the extended ROM in XDA2i yet , I cannot remove the O2 stuff that is causing the problem (forcing a different connection for web adresses starting with "wap"). On my XDA2 i could unlock the extended ROM and remove the O2 bits, and this solved the problem. With XDA2i I'm stuck...
Guys,
My wife put in a password to lock her phone (sensitive data) and now she doesn't know what it is, is there a way that I can dump the contents or access the data on the device? She took client notes on it and they were not set to be sync'd with her desktop, she needs them desperately. I'm the one that set up the syncing for NOTES and not WORD docs so I'm in deep S&*t with her!
The docs are in 'my documents' on the phone and not on the SD card.
Anyone able to do it?
Is there a limit on the number of try's?
When using a remote viewing/control software could I simple write a program that continues to run through the 9999 combos or the x trillion combos if she used the alpha-num setting? Are you able to enter the password on the desktop machine?
I like my private parts, please help!
I know a hardreset will dump everything on the phone and then she would be able to use the phone but I'll still be missing a couple of valuable parts of my body, if you know what I mean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Try to get your wife to remember at least the first number, so that you only have 999 tries before you actually find the correct code.
I didn't think it was to much to ask her to reminber the other 3 also but as wives will do, its still my fault for not backing it up!
Don't know anything that might help right now, but if I find something, I'll let you know. Also, for information, you might want to try SignWise - it uses a signature as a 'password' - and it's quite good
if my memory is correct (which isn't always the case) there is a program that shows your xda screen on the pc and you can manipulate it there. This in cooperation with a macro/keyrecorder you might get thru it. It probably would still need a lot of editing of the macro.
Thanks guys,
dcs, but then I won't be able to check on her
Does anyone know how to hack this?
Im stuck too. I thought maybe downloading the rom to the SD card might work, but you would have to do hard reset which would lost the data.
You might be able to try setting the active synch to backup up word documents (do it from the pc) then put the XDA in the cradle. Then try to forcefully synch from the PC. It might bypass the password.
I may have a solution, give me a couple of days to try it out and I'll let you know. In the meantime dont hard
reset orplay with it.
Cradeling the device requires the password before the connection is completed so I can't explore the device.
it's not an xda then i suppose ?
because all the xda's i've had synch without the password unless you are forming a new pathership
Its an MDAIII, but I think it still works the same with the WM2003 XDA. Maybe the solution in an old active sync, but I don't think I can go back in a version because the device is updated when I went to 3.7
Can anyone confirm if you can access data when a password is set using an old active sync?
well i can confirm that when i once types in the password for a connection and make it save it then i'm never required to type in the password again when i sync
If I had the Password the first time she entered it we could have done that but she forgot it before it was ever sync'd with the computer. So I need the password for the first time.
Anyone ever use this?
pget.exe gets files from your PocketPC.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/XdaUtils
pget.exe Doesn't work until the password is entered to establish the link, it just sits there waiting for a connection. As soon as the Password is entered, it dumped the files to the PC (testing on my phone)
You may patch Active Sync so that it would not stop asking you a password after 3 wrong attempts:
old wcescomm.exe - patched WCESCOMM.EXE
00006C26: 74 90
00006C27: 05 90
Then you can "guess" the password by a bruteforce.
This patch is for ActiveSync 3.7.1 build 4034
You should kill WCESCOMM.EXE process before patching.
My company runs an exchange server that i can connect to via SLL on the web. However, I always got an invalid certificate message. On 2003 devices on ran certchk and i could synschronize my mail, calender and contacts.
Now - with my JJ - i can not get to my mail anymore because of this invalid certificate. I does not help to download the certificate to my device, since it is invalid.
Is there any reg hack, apps or whatever i can use to overcome this?
Thx
Ronaldovic,
Try exporting the root certificate from the Certificate Authority in "DER" format, copy it to the JJ and run it. This should work as the JJ is not certificate locked.
Ferg.
I did - and when i look in settings-certificates - it shows in the list of certificate but with an enddate of somewhere in 2003 (so it is not valid).
Again, with certchk in 2003 devices it all worked flawlessly.
Are the certificates still be the problem now? Or is it something else?
When i sync, i get an error: 0x80072F17
Ah sorry, I read your mail but didn't really read it and assumed I knew what you were saying.
If you can get a reg editor for the JJ (I use something called "Mobile Registry Editor" which is a PC-based app and works through ActiveSync), change DWORD Value under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Activesync\Partners\[Secure] to 0 I gather this will do it.
On the point of the certi though, can you not get the CA to issue a new certificate to the Exch box? When connecting through SSL, ActiveSync doesn;t give you a "Yeah connect, I don't care!" dialog box as OWA does.
Ferg.
got a good reg editor, but can not find the last [secure] part...what do u mean by that? For example below ..\partners i see two entries(default) and (ServerNameChanged). and two directories with strange numbers.
About the certificate thing...if i understand u correctly i will never connect if i do not have a valid certificate?
I appreciate the help!!
YEAH!!! Great, got it working, thx to u!
I just love this forum.
Glad to hear it!
I am back....
The sync goes ok now, but every time i send a new mail, it gets send twice. In my outbox on the JJ there is one email, when i receive i see two coming in (exactly the same)
Any1?
i can get it to look like its working by turning off ssl. e.g. it says sycing 20/20 emails. However when i go to messages there are none there! Similarily contacts, tasks and calendar items appear to be syncing in active sync, but they just dont show up!
Hi,
I have run into the same problem.
Used the tips on changing the registry (for which I really thank you!!!).
However, it seemed working until I realize that my Treo 700w keeps asking for the password. No matter how many times I enter my password correctly, it just keeps asking the password over and over again. It does not save my password even if I select "save password" option.
Have you run into this problem and found any workaround?
Thanks in advance. Bo.
Boryu,
Remove and re-add the server source.
I've had this a few times and it's well annoying! This seems to do the trick though.
Ferg.
same issue
i have the same issue,
i used registry editor but its not allowing me to add the reg key!!
am i doing something wrong,, and were do i add the Secure Dword?
Why don't you just renew the certificate? Just right click the website folder within IIS 6.0 and select Properties. There is a security tab (Directory Security?) within which you can renew an existing certificate.
I had the same problem getting push email to work, and renewing the certificate fixed the problem.

please help
thanks in advance
Hi
I have a KJam and I am trying to sync it at work. I downloaded AS 4.1 on my Win2K pc but it keeps giving me the Retrieving Settings message for ever. I dont think there is firewall on the pc and I need some help to get it running
Thanks a lot
any help guys, still have the problem
XP Needed
i think you have to use microsoft windows xp to sync your wizard.
So no luck with Win2K, I thought that people can do it with Win2000 and aslo from Microsoft Site AS seems to be working on 2000
Thats really bad
Me too
I also have this problem with one Wizard - my wife also has a Wizard, exactly the same which has no problem syncing to the same PC. I get the same message you get " retrieving settings" which hangs for ever until I disconnect. I'm on W2k.
Did you find and answer? It's obviously not a W2k issue if one Wizard can sync.
No I cant still sync with WIN2K, someone suggested that you do hard reset and it should work. I tried on mine and still didnt work
A random guess- applied SP4? Also which firmware version you are using?
Finally I have it working!
William - Yes, I'm on SP4
Akronica - I've finally managed to get both Wizards sync'ed. Here's what I had to do. Firstly, I'm using Sygate Personal Firewall, so I follwed the directions via the link here to set up the advanced rules. See http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/activesync/tshoot-as4x.htm This also might be useful to you for troubleshooting.
Then I added/altered 3 registry settings in my PPC (as also mentioned in the above link) using a freeware called "PHM Regedit". I downloaded the PHM Regedit from here:
http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=31
Just a note: I obviously couldn't use the ActiveSync installer to get this product installed, so I copied the entire directory over to my phone (via mini SD card) and then tried to launch each file. The first few didn't install successfully, but I finally did get one to install OK. The file that worked for me was "regedit_Mrln_ARM.CAB".
So, after all that I connected up and as soon as the cable was in, I soft reset the PPC. Sure enough, it made a new connection via the connection wizard and off it went.
Another note: I also turned off any passwords on the PPC, just in case. I'll do some more playing and see if this makes any difference.
Hope this helps!
Rob

Interesting
On mine it connects (win2k SP4), but drops the connection about 60s into sync.
:wink:
I've now confirmed that the passwords had no impact.
I don't have any problems with it dropping connection either.
Wow yeah, I've had absolutely no problems synching with my win2k sp4. hm.
