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.
Sorry for being such a lame but:
I have installed it (JUVS_HTC_BTFtpClient_KAISER_1_1_29958_1.cab) but how do I use it?
Maybe it's the weather, time of year or my age but I just don't get it
A simple step-by-step how to is welcome.
Thanks!
Hope This Helps

There are several steps: (WM6 side and PC side)
WM6 Side:
Need to go into Bluetooth settings: \settings\connections\bluetooth
Once you've got there at the bottom of the screen you will find several tabs
(Devices\Mode\Com Ports\FTP\Security)
Go To:
(Mode Tab) Check off both, bluetooth turned on and bluetooth is visible.
Go To:
(FTP Tab) Enable bluetooth explorer, file sharing and choose the folder you'd like to share. (I shared my SD card)
PC Side:
Now you need to pair your PC to your WM6 device
Once you've paired your device you should be set to transfer files back and forth to Desktop and WM6 device
Options:
Remember there are several options you can adjust if you want to customize your pairing.
Some options you may want to consider:
Is your PC visible to your WM6 device? And how often will it look?
Setting up you device on your PC to always allow to avoid the password?
Checking your device to ensure all the Bluetooth options you want for this particular pair are checked off (Stereo, headset & ActiveSync)
These are just a few, so play around with both sides till it meets your needs.
wow. I never know how to use this feature either. I am gonna try this tonight. If it works, then I don't need to use my card reader anymore. Just share with bluetooth. Thanks a lot for the info.
Thanks a lot! Actually I don't know why I could not get it work.
Yesterday I tried it on my home PC (BT ver 2.0 EDR, Vista, BlueSoleil soft) and worked like a charm.
Before I had tried it on my business laptop with XP Pro SP2 and generic MS BT stack and maybe this is why I had problems.
To be honest I didn't even want to install BlueSoleil as MS stack was ok for what I needed (except that FTP) but unfortunatelly my new BT dongle was not even recognized by Vista. And since I got BlueSoleil on my PC it works great. Thanks for feedback!
Hi,
I want to make a remote desktop web connection.
When I go to http://www.eapdlaw.com/tsweb/Default.htm with my Ameo, the connect button is not active.
I can connect with no problems using a desktop pc... but when I try it with my Ameo... it's not possible to push the connect-button.
Do I need to install some kind of add-on to make the connect-button active???
thanks
Bart
Can someone plz try the site http://www.eapdlaw.com/tsweb/Default.htm with his x7500/Ameo and tell me if the "connect" butten is working.
thanks a lot
Bart
why would you bother with that anyway when your phone has a much better (and probably quicker) built in app for doing it !!
unsuprisingly called REMOTE DESKTOP
if for some reason it is not in your program files here it is to install !
stick the cab file on your phone and run it, to install
PS I have long since moved onto Z2software, it is a million times better
www.z2software.com
Has anyone had any luck in getting the Treo Pro to function as a USB mass storage device (using WM5torage, CardExport II, some ported hack of the WM6 USB control panel applet, or some other solution)?
I'm considering getting rid of my iPod as the Pro works quite well with Kinoma Play, but getting the files on using Activesync is painfully slow, and pulling the card out of the TP to connect directly to my computer is, well, just not a realistic option.
Thanks!
I've installed "Wei enterprise's USB to PC" as all of the usual suspects refused to work. This one works - but only intermittently. There is a conflict between these and the Palm programme that installs activesync.
I have made it work by keeping an eye on the phone screen and "cancelling" whenever the installation programme runs. Once we get into the ROM Dump, hopefully we'll be able to uncook this activesync installer and make this work properly!

You probably don't need a rom cooking for that. Just try task manager v.3.1 from this forum, and go to service and device tab. One of them is your mass storage service ( be carefull, there is also a real storage service, which serves your SD and internal memory). Just stop it, and see how your program works.
If you don't know which one to stop, just post here the list of all running services, and I'll tell you what to try.

Which service are you talking about? None of them seem to be labeled as mass storage...
I tried nueMassStorage on my Treo 800w and my PC would intermittently recognize it as a mass storage device, but the 800w does not have any ActiveSync installer. Still the PC would lose recognition of the Treo 800w as a mass storage device and get it back every minute or so.
But even when my PC could recognize my Treo 800w as a mass storage device, the speed of data transfer was exactly as slow as when connected via ActiveSync. There was no improvement in transfer speed at all. When using a MicroSDHC card reader data transfer goes very fast, especially with class 6 cards.
Every program I've used to turn my Treo 800w into a mass storage device may or may not work, but none improves transfer speed at all.
Perhaps the Treos are just slow?
I do miss Mass Storage since all my Sanyo's and BB Curve had it. Loaded up movies Hancock, The Dark Night, Zohan and more in just minutes with it on my Curve. My current 800 does not have it.
Is there a program from the TP that works on the 800?

Is the file transfer rate any better than just using ActiveSync?

I just gave it a shot.... I don't think there's any difference. I suspect what they did is not switch off the treo service, but simply make a virtual mass storage device and still send the data through the RNDIS protocol...
Has anyone else tried it yet?
Did this ever get figured out or is the Softick software the best bet. I just go a TP yesterday and my car radio plays music off of external hard drives so I would like this feature back. Info? Anyone???
1. First, when I got my TOuch HD (im using Vista) and I tried to connect the HD to my PC, I plugged in the cable but it wouldn't connect. I realised it was a USB port problem, change the port, and everything sync fine for the last week or so. Last night, there was a Windows Mobile Device Centre update so I did that. And after that, it woulnd't connect via Active Sync anymore. (Im using the same usb port, also tried a different port). When I try to connect as a hard drive, I can still view the content of the memory card just fine.
Does any1 know how to fix this please?
2. I've copied a lot of music into my HD, and quiet a few of them are ones that I dont really like (since I didn't filter before I copy), so the advantage of using windows media player (wmp) is that in library, i can delete the file from my memory card as well (which is more convinience than using a different music player, may be some players offer this function but Im not aware of?). However, I got this problem - when I try to update my library, wmp search ALL of my memory card and copy over all the audio files from different software/games... and I want it to only scan the music folders (where all my music are). So any1 can offer me a solution for this please? (I.e. some option in wmp that i dont know, or another music player that offer delete from storage card)?
Thanks a lot for your help..
Btw, Im using the ROM ver 1.14.4053 WWE (on Orange UK) and Vista Home Premium
hi, could someone help me with this please?
thanks
If you want the ActiveSync connection, ensure you specify that in the USB to pc Setting. Also, blank out the enable advanced network functionlaity checkbox.
I don't use WMP anymore, but I think you can delete it only from the library without actually deleting it from the storage card. In that way, your library is clean from the unwanted stuff, yet you don't end up deleting system sound files.
Hope it works for you.
hi, im using vista, and using mobile device center, not activesync, activesync is not for vista.
and what I want is actually being able to delete some unwanted song from my storage card (so i dont have to clean it up later)

Your vista can't make activesyn connection unless you do the step that I've outline in the last post. ActiveSync applies to both XP and Vista.
hi, thanks for the reply, but I don't think that's the solution to my problem, because I've already tried that. And also, it was sync fine just before the windows update and download the new Windows Mobile Center, since then, even if I tried system restore to where it was before the update... it wouldn't work...
problem solved - looks like after my update, the Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter went missing... just installed it again.
Thanks for your help.
