Jam application compatibility

I have IPDashboard, Agenda Fusion and Wisbar Advance 2 installed in my Jam. I'm having problems with my PDA not ringing(or vibrating) when in stand-by and need to do a soft reset to enable it again(ringing function). I missed several calls already and I decided to upgrade to 1.06 ROM. i installed the same set of apps and got the same problem. I did a hardreset and have not installed any of the said app and now my Jam works like it should be.
I'm just wondering if any of you are having the same issues that I have and what applications currently installed in your Jam.

WisBar Advance2 is known to have caused problems with Phone Edition devices.
The guy at Lakeridge is even kind enough to inform anyone about this in the middle of the front page on the wisbar download site:
"(Please note that this is not yet compatible with PocketPC Phone Devices)"

stupid me i missed that.. i've used it with my iMate and 6315 before but I dont remember having that problem
thanks!

I had the same problem with Wisbar.
In the Lakeridge forum there is a beta version that solves that problem.
Works for me.
(In the new beta there is also a working signal strength meter.)

i tried the beta.. so far so good. i just can't have a PDA without WA

task bar replacement for Magic Button
Does anyone know of a good task manager/closer that doesn't cause lockups and screen freezes?
I tried using magic button, but its buggy as hell, same with wis bar advance.
If I don't use any task manager, my jam is jamming. no soft reset or lock up issues.
Please help.
thanks

WA 2.0.14 beta works fine with my Jam(as of now). no lock ups or anything. i just cant find any task manager with feature set as WA thats why Im sticking with it(and great support too)

Hi dnp_now,
I'm using vbar (can be found here: http://www.vieka.com/vbar.htm) as well as TillanoSofts SmallMenu (http://www.tillanosoft.com/ce/smenu.html) for switching between apps and closing them on my german MDA compact.
Both of them are running at the same time and are also linked to one hardware button by VITO ButtonMapper (free version for two actions per button is included in a Cebit-Software package available here: http://www.mobile2day.de/cebit/).
This combination is very practible, because I can start and close every program installed on my MDA using the hardware buttons and dont have to use the stylus:
One tap of the hardware button opens SmallMenu with which I can start the programs and switch between already opened apps, two taps on the same button opens vbar, with which I can close the programs (also those running in the background!).
So one-handed operation is possible without any problem. The only downer is that vbar cant' be used in landscape mode, i.e. better close it when switching to LS and reactivate it when you switch back to portrait mode again.
Hope this helps,
greets, BGK[/url]

I would suggest SPB PocketPlus. Very stable, and well worth the money.

jam keeps turning on when connected via activesync
Hello,
Does anyone know why my jam keeps turning on when its connected via activesync?
I put it on standby, then a few minute later it turns on, and try to sync with my desktop. I'd rather have it on standby most of the time.
thanks

Wisbar advance desktop <-AWESOME

I've just found that Chris @ WisbarAdvance (www.lakeridgesoftware.com) has created a plugin that makes WM5 into ablank desktop on which u can do anything. It's awesome, and seems stable on my JasJar (no alarm failures etc). Some kelw features:
- Different landscape vs portrait themes (so no cut-off images)
- Remove soft buttons on today screen
- shortcuts
- virtual screens and popups of shortcuts
- text meters and graphic meters
Basically anything that any other plugin offers!
Check it out.

Checked on the lakeridge website and couldn't find it- whereabouts is it?
Thanks,
Fin

This site states it is NOT compatable with windows mobile 5.0

Look under forums for WAD forum. Works BETTER under WM5 than it did for me under WM2003. WAY BETTER!

Doesn't work for me either:
Code:
phpBB : Critical Error
Error creating new session

SQL Error : 1016 Can't open file: 'phpbb_sessions.MYI'. (errno: 145)
INSERT INTO phpbb_sessions (session_id, session_user_id, session_start, session_time, session_ip, session_page, session_logged_in, session_admin) VALUES ('f5861f6c70bdf022bbd964b1d05dc237', -1, 1130164066, 1130164066, '52455477', 0, 0, 0)

Could it be a cookie-blocked thing?

hmm
have the same problem
anyone got a link to wad 0.7? for wm5 ?
Greetz

lakeridge forums are back up now!

it works, but as you begin using it, you'll find out that your Universal will become EXTREMELY slow.
This is a known issue for WM5 and Universal, so a new update has to come out.

Are you referring to the 2.4.1.11 beta or shipping version when you say it is very slow ?

I installed the software but it made my device slower than ever.
I uninstalled it, and my device is OK now.
I'm using GSPocketMagic Ver 1.32.18, it's the only program which does not affect the speed of Jasjar and does all functions I need to close the running programs. It really made using my Jasjar is much better, easier, and faster.
Regards,

Is It just me?
Hi,
-Went to WAD forums, dl'd RC6 and even RC5 beta of WAD, WM5 .Cab...
-dl'd from JJ incidentally
-installed CAB from File Explorer
-Install deemed "successful" after CAB ran.
-Soft reset and the whole 9 yards (ie: double checked today screen settings) and see no aesthetic change to Today Screen's look, and some ambiguous WAD folder in Programs.
Advice much appreciated Dudes.
Thank U!

I'm having problems with this too... I just get a blank desktop and it won't load any of the skins I've downloaded to work with it...
Pah.

lol
haha
you need a full version of wisbar advanced!! then you can add the the WAD plugin ;o) worked fine for me..
only problem is that wisbar advance is not wm5 optimized.. it slows the Universal down!!!
so better leave it.. and wait for optimized wm5 software!!

Don;t agree. JJ is just as fast as it was after hard reset and GPMagic++ - EXCEPT that portrait-landscape change is VERY slow - 8 seconds vs 1.5. That's cos it loads a WHOLE new theme and skin - a penalty I'm happy to live with for all the otehr benefits - cascading menu, awesome desktop capabilities, original task management, awesome skinning, etc etc.

hmm
remove it all and reset your device and notice how much faster the universal is.. even if you just stay in landscape mode.
i removed all sbsh software and also pocketbreeze and my universal is 20 times faster.
if you don't mind the lagg when changing from landscape to portrait ok, but the menu and all other programs do behave slower too.
When i flip my screen to landscape it now changes instantly.. have to say i use checknotifications. ;o)
just hoping for a great update soon, or else i sell my mda pro to someone here in holland for 600 euros and wait for version 2 LOL

I agree, Wisbar Advance does slow down the device. No wonder, all this graphic wealth has to come at a cost: resources!

Both.
See what DVL mentions. He's 100% correct. We have to wait for a new BETA to come out or be very patient with your Universal. :lol:

Newsland

I always used AvantGo on my old PPC, so wanted something similar for my Exec. I found Newsland on MS's website (yeah, I know, I deserve everything I get) and it had some good reviews.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work, and the website I'm supposed to register with is no longer in existance. The only site I can find is in Russian.
I thought "Stuff it" and tried to remove the software. I used settings>remove on the Exec. It has gone from the program list, but the software is still there. I tried removing it through Activesync, same result; gone from the program list, still on the Exec. I've tried a soft reset, it's still there, taking up room. Any ideas?

Newsland Remove
Hi,
I think the following is happened:
The Today screen plugin of Newsland was still active wen you tryed to remove Newsland. What you need to do is, try to install the software again, and when this is done deactivate the today plugin. Than remove the program again. After that you can look with the File Explorer and look at Program Files if the map Newsland still excist's. If so, you can delete it!
Hope this helps,
Cheers Leo

Does this mean AVantGO does not work in our Universal? Any other alternative to get NEWS REPORT on our Universal?

@cktlcmd
Hi,
If you want to use a good newsreader!
http://garishkernels.net/egress.shtml
For me this is the best, tried Newsbreak and SPB Insight but this one is much faster and better designed.
Cheers Leo

Thanks. I checked the site. I do have a question. Does it support landscape view on our Universal? All the screen shots I saw were portrait view.

Landscape view
Hi,
Yes it does, I love this app, works smoothly!

Thanks very much.

Thanks Laurentius26, I'll try it now.
To the person asking if AvantGo works - it does work, just fine, in landscape or portrait. Just go to the AvantGo website and download the latest version. Annoyingly, it insists on syncing through it's own software rather than going through Activesync, and it seems slower to upload than it was on my 3 year old RX3715.
Still, it does the job just fine. I wanted to try something a bit different, so I may have a look at the other suggestions.
Edit - worked like a charm. Thanks again.

Ameo freezes with ozVGA

Hallo all,
after reading in several Threads about ozVGA to be one of the top 10 software to be installed on the Ameo I tried to install, too.
However - this became a complete disaster ;-((.
I downloaded the files, installed them as described. I didn't make any changes to the default settings in ozVGA and then pressed the ozVGA Button. After re-boot I only got a white screen with a much smaller "device-busy-icon" (<- you know what I mean ? ).
No reaction from device any more, had to perform a hard-reset and to reinstall everything.
What went wrong ?
Dieter

I have also problems with oZVGA on Ameo. You can try TrueVGA it is much better....

It is a german Page were you can see a very good discription how to install True VGA.

Same think happened to my dopod u1000, never success to install qVGA, but MrTrueVGA run very smooth. But revert back to SEVGA, coz many think goes crazy (Many programs look tiny funny), the keypad from VJ, is not to god for me. Many games didn't run well to...

Thanks a lot - runs very well.
However, there is a question I have: How to switch back to "standard" ?
Dieter

Just run the program/shortcut named "VGAtoggle". It's located under \Windows\Start Menu, so if you're using a localized unit (like I do) you might want to move that shortcut.

How to fix opera + other problems

Hi I have just upgraded my rom to Dutty's 3.7 final, and its great. I have done quite a few things after installing it and I have the following problems
1) opera dosent work anymore it runs most of the time but no page ever loads (wifi or 3g) all other programs that use data work fine. I installed opera 9.7beta then uninstalled as it wasnt working very well for me, maybe this broke something?
2) I want to be able to get manilla in landscape, I have tried a few options, duttys enable manilla landscape didnt work for me, flipit didnt work for me for anything either. I tried At0mAng & Danny_and_2 TF3D2 Tweak which dose work but only enables rotation on tf3d and I want control over all my apps(it also seems to disable gsensor in apps that worked before e.g. magic 8ball).
3) related to the last one e java always rotates with the gsensor even when its disabled, which messes up a game i have installed which starts in landscape as default, when i rotate to play the screen messes up rotating and only seeing hale the screen the wrong way round.
4) in buttons I tried enabeling rotate screen via long call press, but it seems my phone wont recognize a long call press no matter what action i ascociate with it. long end works fine though.

1. Opera works fine for me. Just used Opera which came with rom. If your still having problems with your new beta version. Try installing original version again or perform a hard reset to get orginal back.
2. Try using Changescreen
3. Again try Changescreen though I have a few games installed which start in landscape including NFS Undercover & Xtrakt. Both work fine.
4. I remember reading somewhere (do a quick search) that some button functions cannot be altered. Not sure it can change functions as you described for this button. Try AEBPlus

wow thanks for the quick reply, I didnt think one man could have all the answers. One thing where should I get the orginal version of opera from? I want the one with the zoom bar that comes with the rom I assume if I download from operas website it will actually be an older version.
again thanks for the quick and really helpful answer

Version installed on Throy's V3.7 XT is Opera Version 9.5 build 16643
I'd either try searching Themes, Applications and Software forum or google it.
