Hi guys, I'm quite new to this site so appologies if my question sounds a bit daft! We (at work) use Sprite Clone to deploy pre-designed images to the XDAII (We design fleet management software). We have just received a batch of XDAII with PPC2003 SE2 and now Sprite Clone crashes and hard resets each device whenever we try and capture/deploy images! Does anyone know of an alternative to sprite clone? We could really do with the help on this one, thanks in advance!
could you please inform me the rom version number of 2003 SE2 ?
seems that SE have serious issues with older programs

i'm sure they will release a new version in time
sprite clone issues
ROM version is 1.60, thanks for the quick replies guys!
But you have the same Windwos Mobile 2003 as we all have...
definitely NO SE

Oh. Received an e-mail from O2 saying that this batch had SE on them. Main setup screen looks different so didn't really investigate further! Sorry if this has caused any probs. Any thoughts given this latest turn of events??
We have noted some strange locking up of our Xda II's over on the MTekk forums requiring a hard reset. We have a number of threads running at the moment but the main one is here.
I have been in touch with Spb about this and they inform me it is actually an HTC and MS issue. Below is their email response.
Hello David,
We do our best to fix this problem ASAP. We work hard with HTC and
Microsoft now on this problem.
But this problem occurs not only with Spb Pocket Plus but with other
programs too.
We have feedback from HTC and Microsoft about that (sorry, I cannot
disclosure more
details since it is information obtained from our partners).
So I am not sure we will be able to fix it in Spb Pocket Plus - probably
HTC will fix it in their ROM.
Spb Pocket Plus does not use any undocumented functions that can cause
such behavior.
Probably we will disable running Spb Pocket Plus on these devices at all
until HTC fixes this bug in ROM
Pocket Plus 1.x is not available online now but I can send it to you if you want via e-mail.
If you bought Pocket Plus 2.x and can't use it, you can always ask for refund.
If you have any questions, please, don't hesitate to contact me.
Best regards,

It appears as though this issue could also be happening with version 1 of Pocket Plus on the 1.66 ROM (and some 1.72 ROM's too).
Thought you guys might like to know. Generally I find Spb products to be good, but it appears as though Spb are being blamed for this issue. I think this email help point the finger in the right direction.

Hi djwhyte
This is some strange stuff as I've been running Pocket Plus 2.0 for a few months and have recently installed 2.1 (just for the hell of it I think its only a VGA update from what I can see)... but have not had any problems on my XDA II before, hear are my details of my device if this helps:
ROM Version: 1.66.00WWE
ROM Date: 02/20/04
Radio Version: 1.08.00
Protocol Version: 1337.18
ExtROM Version: 1.66.165
The only thing I could think that I MIGHT be doing diferent is that I do not use the today screen pluging (I use all other features like repeating allarms and task mannager!) At the begining I did use the today screen and do not recall any problems as well I've taken it off because my today screen was getting to cluttered with other software I am running.
Not sure if this is going to help you but have to tired installing Pocket Plus with NO other applications installed after a hard reset? It might be a conflict with other software or even a totaly other product causing the problem? Not sure hope this can help you!
Regards
Fudge!
Pocket Plus 2 is installed in my wife's XDA2 with 1.66rom. its almost 3 weeks now and so far no problem. my XDA2's rom is only 1.60.
Hey thanks for info guys.
I will have to try without the today screen pluggin and see if makes any difference.
Boybi, your wifes Xda II which is on the 1.66 ROM, does it have the today screen plugin enabled?
Dave
is the Today Plugin the one where you can put battery and memory bars, and put some icons? if yes, then its enabled.
i too am having problems with the spb pocket plus v2.1 using xda2 with 1.66WWE ROM version. i get hang ups and the unit would do a hard reset. good thing i always do a backup of the contacts and appointments!
aside from Pocket Plus, what other Today Plugins can you guys recommend?
I was wondering what was the lockup caused by. I uninstalled the SPB GPRS and SPB Pocket Plus and now it's ok. No more lockup. I had to hard reset, but couldn't initial find the problem until the trial expired, weird. I guess that's why I bought it.
I find GPRS monitor is OK!!
I have a feeling the Today plugin is the cause as I have had no such crashes since I installed it again with the today screen disabled. What part of it I don't know though.
Boybi, which icons, sliders does your wife have enabled on the plugin?
One thing to note on this, is that SPB update their software silently and don't tell ya about it.
So get the latest build of PocketPlus and try again.
Cheers
my wife's XDA2 just locked-up today! can't turn it on even using soft reset. so i think its really the Pocket Plus! now i disabled the today plugin.
Ooooh Sorry Boybi, I hope I didn't curse you but that sounds like the lockup.
I have been running sweetly for three days without the Today screen plugin for PP2. How long did your wife have the Today screen showing before it locked up? Days? Weeks?
Cheers,
Dave
Possible LOCKUP?
DJWHYTE,
im using pocket plus ver 2.1 on a 1.66 ROM XDA II, just installed it 24 hours ago, no problems so far.
All featured ITEMS enabled, Today Plug-in, File Explorer enhancements, Pocket IE enhancement, Looping Alarm, etc..
Im very disturbed by what I just read in this thread, although I have experienced 1 LOCKUP, it happened while SPB Pocket Plus was NOT YET installed.
Can anyone please advise HOW LONG was the average time FROM installation of pocket plus DID the LOCKUP occur? and what your POCKET PLUS version and ROM versions are?
Certainly would put most of us at ease.
Cheers

With my previous 1.66ITA it worked for about 3 months without troubles (PP 2.0 first and 2.1 later) .
After the upgrade to 1.72.04ITA no chance to install it anymore; it freezes and the only way out is hard resetting. :evil:
Spb team says that they are working on it... hope so, otherwise I will claim for my money back. :evil: :evil:
My experience up to now is that PP is white or black: it works or not, at all. In your case it works, so I would not worry too much... :roll:

Good, now I can sleep better knowing my XDA 2 will still turn on tomorrow when I wake up. Thanks DAVE.
Any other observations out there?
I may DREAM better if there are, hehehe.
my wife's 1.66rom XDA2 runs with PP2.1 for 2 weeks without any problems until yesterday.
maybe other apps?
boybi,
pre,
maybe another app caused the lockup? you havent installed anything new in those two weeks? may i please know what your apps are?
mine are:
1. pocket plus 2.1
2. my calendar
3. pocket zen
4. flash player activeX
5. morphgear
6. calendar plus
7. pocket translator
8. pencil box
9. calc98 and aidem calc
10. betaplayer
11. SB check notifications.
12. vbirthday
just want to know for comparison AND app finger-pointing.
thanks.
I too have had the problem
Ever since I installed the Spb PocketPlus ver 1.x and onward I have had that problem. It occurs rarely but often enough to annoy me (1-2 times/month). It seems to make no difference if I disable the Today screen. I have removed it now. I don't have much other software on it, except for Destinator 3 and a painting program. I won't return to PocketPlus until the issue is solved.

The italian localized 2.1 will not work on the 1.72 ROM, to make it works you need to install the 2.0 and after it the 2.1.
No problems at all

ito lang mga nakainstall:
1. spb pocket plus 2.1
2. pocketzenphone
3. sprite backup 3.0
4. sprite pocketmon (today plugin disabled)
5. uBook
the memory card i have ordered for my wife's XDA2 just arrived that's why i haven't installed a lot of programs in her unit.
Hey guys,
I'd like to configure the calendar on today screen in order to give me up the next appointments of the current week... how can I do it?
When I bought the Jam, it made it right but after some sync. with Outlook and/or some sw installation, now, I can see only the current day's appointment... any idea?
Theres a piece of software called Calendar+ that will let you do this. It's a freeware app and can be found here: http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=108
I think, and I'd like, to do it with the standard today screen.... any idea? :-(
Many thanks man! ;-)
Markino
The software that I suggested (and I use) doesn't change the today screen, it just lets you decide what calander things to display on the screen.
It works fine!!!
Many thanks! ;-)
Hi all,
Is anybody has news about the upgrade to WM6 for the IPAQ 6915 (official or not)?
The main feature I would like is the sip integration.
i am intested also
So am I. I would be quite happy to see WM6 on my ipaq. Come on, developers!
i am intested also

It would be great cuz Im not so happy with WM5
typical, get shafted by HP again.... shell out close to half a grand on a device you expect that youll get some decent support with it and not for it to become obsolete quite this quickly....
Hp need to stop doing things like this, if the upgrade doesnt come about for the hw6915 its twice that they have done me soon after buying a new device from them.
Whats the score on an unoffical upgrade? The SIP/VoIP functionality for this device is just too good not to have (being a fully paid up vonage /vonage softphone user)

6925 & WM6?
Saw the thread,
I've got the 6925 series, and the Universal WM6 rom. I'd be interested in any unofficial way to upgrade as well. Can someone PM me the info please? Thanks!

I have a HW6945, so I am interest in how you do it and if this worked for you, please feel free to PM me too
=It cannot be done.
it has to be done or i'll trow away this piece of cr*p so called HP 6915.
Cheap plastic covers, lots of scatches.... the only thing that will make me keep it is an rom for WM6.
or i'll try the new blackberry. at least it looks better.
All the best from romania...

Well, dont agree here...
6915 is far best pda i owned... stable, works nice, keyboard is great, everything works as it should just need to customise it...
the plastic is ok until you start to drop it on the floor...
official WM6 will never be on this phone, wait for another 6XXX release with WM6 if you want it so badly...
P.
don't want to star a flame but...
the diference between a Palm operating system and a similar win is huge. never have to close manually aplications that use memory for nothing, avery couples of days i have to reset it. i admint i use it a lot, because is my phone, my navigation, my agenda, my everything. but is not an escuse...
i'll wait for a release ...
are you sure that you know how to use a winmo phone? if you like palm os that much, why dont you get a treo? LOL
well because the only gps software who has good coverage of romania is i-go, and the only version it has it's a win mobile version.
i have a win mobile pda phone and that's it ... i have to use it.
by the way, does anybody tried gps software like igo, tomtom, etc, with wm6?
how it's like?

Sorry but maybe I didn’t get you right
My English is so so
You are saying that you find WM unreliable due to the fact you are not familiar with a 3prt app to close running program when tapping on the O.K. (try SPB PLUS it will fill like palm)
WM by default enable you to minimize and you can run thins in the background
Let's say you want to copy/compare info from a note to your contacts list
You just SW between the apps (there are a lot of uses for running things in background)
Maybe you prefer learning every time a new OS when there is a new device?
The grate thing with WM is that all the things you are used to on your home pc you perform on mobile with the same approach
You just need to replace the mouse right click with tap & hold and left click with a tap
Remember that the default is minimize and if you want to close app you tap on your virtual keyboard CTL then tap on Q
Good luck
Hope I helped
I'm very interested in this beautiful pda and was wondering if the applications indicated in the subject are correctly displayed.
Anyone who uses them?
Thanks a lot
eWallet - working w/o problem with resolution..
Pocket mechanic has a problem... Don't install it..
That's very kind of you, I've been looking for ages for this info, thanks a lot!!!
I'm also interested in memmaid in order to keep the registry in perfect order. What do you use for this task?
until now i did't find a resolution if someone finded plase to write...
Why don't you try Memmaid? Here in Italy lots of people use it and say it works.
Memmaid or Pocket Mechanic are working fine on my HTC HD mini!
Thanks a lot! Which one would you recommend between the two? I've been using the Pocket Mechanic but since this application is not anymore updated I think as soon as I'll get the Mini I'll switch to the Memmaid. What do you think?
