"New Button" in Command Bar hangs up PPC - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

Hi Guys,
I have an i-mate Magician and it worked quite well until someday suddenly the NEW MENU (BUTTON) in the left bottom corner began to hang up my ppc every time i clicked on it.
So if I try to click on the menu NEW in order to create a new task or something else my PPC hangs up and does not react anymore.
After that a soft reset is always needed in order to use the ppc. But NEW MENU would not work!
Your answer is very much appreciated!
Thank you in advance!

Had this probem as well. Tracked it down to Pocket Informant. Reinstalled that one and problems were gone.

If you have any third party softwares to create a new item there, it may also cause the error. Ex: SPB Finance creates a new finance entry thing. But SPB finance never caused the problem. Other softwares o the similar kind may cause the issue.
What all you see there in the new menu?

Hi Guys,
Thank you for your quick posting!
I tried to uninstall PIM and SPB Diary! But it did not help. The Problem still exists.
In my menu there are the following entries:
APPOINTMENT
CONTACT
ExCEL-Worksheet
MESSAGE
NOTE
TASK
WORD-Document
I would very much appreciate your help as I would like to avoid a HARD-RESET as I have installed a lot of programmes, and it would be now very very inconvenient to me to RE-install everything!
(The Last Programmes that I have installed were the last Revision (5) of PIM & SPB Diary! I can imagine that it depends on PIM because with SPB Diary it was working! But how can I uninstall PIM in that way that it is completely away, because I have already uninstalled it and even installed the Rev 4 but it did not help)
Thanks a lot!
;-)
Vibe
PS: FYI I have installed the following programmes
SPB DIARY
BuzzLightyear SwitchIT
AE Software AE Button Plus
Resco Explorer
Microsoft Activation
Microsoft Reader

If you make a hard reset the NEW menu problem still have...
I did a hard reset as well...
SO I don't know what is that problem exactly...
But if you have the spb backup and make a backup from your system, you can make a hard reset, and then run the backup file and you won't lose your programs!
But for my pda, the hard reset didn't work.
If I start my backup file, then it WORKS!
But just a couple hours!
Then always freeze when I click on NEW button. ((
PLEASE HELP ME! IF YOU KNOW ANY SOLUTION!
Thanx a lot!
Best regards,
Zee

Hi Guys!
The mentioned problem of the freezing system when trying to use the NEW BUTTON on the bottom left corner still exists.
Did anyone experience the same problem and may have a solution or an explanation for that!
Thanks a lot in advance,

Hi,
Here is the link for working programs in WM5. http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=20727&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
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

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:

Very Good:
SOTI Pocket Controller v5.04 with my own skin.
WebIS Pocket Informant 2005 R3 Beta.

Rumored to work with some fiddling:
Tom Tom Navigator v5.1 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.

Here's the list of my must have's and how to's. To start with, installing the Big Storage ROM will make your device way faster, but ONLY IF you install most of the programs in Storage. This way, your free RAM will be 13Mb Prog/9Mb Storage most of the time!
The list of essential programs I don't do without:
1) SBSH Pocket Breeze: gives a lot of information on the Today screen and is not performance hungry. Very very stable. I installed in Storage.
2) Pocket Max PhoneAlarm: Today plug-in that allows you set profiles and assign MP3 tones to SMS as well.
3) Sprite Backup: Simply the best backup tool that also comes with Sprite Space Detective and a Today Plug-in for battery and memory monitoring. Using this plug-in I saved myself from installing SPB Pocket Plus (I don't want to run programs from a today plug-in, most of them are accessible from the Start menu anyway).
4) TKCreator: a theme editor that allows me to modify themes on the PPC and also select themes stored anywhere on the device without modifying the registry. FREE.
5) PSShutXP: a program that lets you soft-reset the PPC without having to fiddle with the stylus. FREE.
6) TCPMP (Beta Player): for those weird formats that WMP10 does not recognise
7) MemMaid: Mostly useful to delete Internet Cache and Mail attachment. You wouldn't need the Bad Installation clean ups if you stick to only the software you use and the only software that works. When I want to fiddle with some new software I just take a backup before I start and restore if I need to.
8) Microsoft Voice Command: ideal in the car, where I just say "Play ..." or "Call ..." at the press of a button.
9) Modified MS BT stack: at least this stack works properly with my wife's Nokia 6230. A2DP is also welcome with this stack.
10) MobiPocket Reader: a very cool RSS/News reader that I snychronise every morning, thus making my favorite daily readings available off-line any time of the day. (I'm subsribed (FREE) to CNN, BBC News, BBC Tech, The Register, Pocket PC Thoughts, MS Windows Mobile Team Blog, The Times of Malta and Soccer Net.)
Finally, with regards to closing apps as opposed to minimising them (one of the most popular features of SPB Pocket Plus), I found that with plenty of RAM available (after installing all progs to Storage), leaving the apps runnning in the background makes the Magician MUCH MORE responsive.
Since I installed the above setup I never ever had to reset the device. It's the best I ever had. Almost flawless.

I have only two apps running. Spb Pocket Plus and tAgenda. Between the two, I have all the information I need. I prefer to keep my memory useage low, so that when I open those two or three applications, they have lots of memory.
kta: I've searched, but can only find onfo on the Bluesoleil BT stack - not a modified MS stack. Can you please direct us to info on how to do this upgrade.

Issues with Jamin Screen Alignment

Hi Friends,
I om really sick of correcting the screen alignment every 2 hours.
please tell me there is a cure/fix to this issue.
In my extended rom I have deleted the following
SKYPE
Smart Dialling
Anti Virus
Backgammon.
The 3rd party softwares that I use are
Tweaks2K2
Ewallet
Worldmate Pro
SPB pocket plus
SPB Finance
Pocket Breeze 5.01
Pocket calc
Sprite Backup
Pocket Mechanic
SPB Imageer
Personal Vehicle Manager.
PLEASE HELP ME
Thanks
Ahmed
To be honest if it really is every two hours I would back it up, hard reset the thing and make sure it doesn't have problems in an out of the box configuration.
If it is ok then I'm afraid you will have to deal with the fact that you are going to have to incrementally load your software to determine what is causing the problem. For reference Ewallet is the only software in common with my configuration and I have zero issues. Also I don't use skype and deinstalled the AV as well as the Backgammon software.
I had this program before.
I was using OmapClock and adjusted it to 252.
Now I set it to 240 and have no problem
Actually I still have this problem even when I didn't overclock it
The only program I have the same is SPB Pocket Plus on that list.
wow! great to hear someone else has this problem. you guys think this is software related and not hardware? i bought my dopod818 (but is on jamin rom) from another country. so its gona be hard for me to have it replace for now.

I'm also having the same issue and I also use SPB Pocket plus.
I'm good
I don't experience any funky screen alignment problems. I did however, with my Cingular 8125 (HTC Wizard) but now with my prophet I'm good. I have a ton of apps installed and overclocked to 240 (225-227 actual).
I do know how annoying this can be. I would do the backup and hard reset to see what your out of box status is. I'm sure it's a 3rd party app problem.
I too use SPB Pocket + so that may not be the problem. I did have SKYPE on my Wizard and not on my Prophet so it may be SKYPE or a combination.
I also did a lot of ROM swaps on my Wizard and so far none on my Prophet so that me be a factor.

Pocket Breeze freezes MDA

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!
mikrolinux
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
mikrolinux
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!

Sound problem with HTC P4350

With apparently no reason, the phone's sounds start playing on about 1.5x speed. This is happening with all the ringtones and even if I play a file with WMP. And most annoyingly, when I call anyone (or being called), only the speakerphone works, no matter whether you turn it on or off. These two problems seem to go together. There are no apparent reasons nor for their start, neither for their end. Can anyone help?
Have you soft reset? What recent programs have you installed?
Soft Reset doesn't help at all. I have the same programs as on my previous Qtek S200 plus one very lite program for fuel consumption, which I run only about twice a week.
Well I am glad that you have the same programs on it as you had on your Qtek but that really doesn't help.
Do you have any program that has anything to do with sound installed?
What I meant is, that my old S200 worked just fine with these programs. Here's the complete list in reverse installation order:
CoreCodec CorePlayer
PocketX Photo Contacts PRO
DinarSoft MemMaid
LinkeSOFT Automobile
MASPware AutoManager
PDAGear.net Expense Diary
Mibigloo Texas Hold'em Poker Odds Calculator
Resco Photo Viewer
Chi-Tai Dang BatteryStatus TD-Plugin
Spb Backup
Opera
Infinite Dreams SkyForce Reloaded
Resco Explorer + Today Plugin + Registry Add-in + FTP Add-in
ICQ for PPC
TofClock TodayPlugin
Skype
What I am wondering is if one of these programs is having an effect on the sound.
Did it happen after you installed a program or made any changes? Have you tried hardreseting?
Anyway, HTC announced they will be upgrading P4350 to WM6 soon, so I'll just wait and see what happens. Thank you for your advices.
Hello,
Have you managed to solve this problem?
I have the same problem now that I have upgraded to WM6 and I have not heard of anyone else with the same effect.
If you have found a solution, I would be very interested in knowing what you did.
Many thanks in advance
Nick
I am having this problem now too. The ringtone thing had happened many times before and was always fixed with a soft reset. But the speakerphone thing is a deal breaker, and now active sync is not even working. Any solutions to this yet?
No Sound - No Active Sync
Same problem here, my Herald doesn't produce any sound and ActiveSync doesn't recognise it. Someone got a solution?
Hey ppl, have you tried using the Active Sync Trouble shooter? Also be sure that your connections are reconized by your computer(usb controller which is in control manager) and that your pda is set to be read by cable/bluetooth, depending on what you work with.
Peace!
