Hi,
I've installed Skype and Acrobat Reader v2.0 on my brand-new Qtek 9000 (Italian ROM, v. 1.13.75 ITA). Even though both are supposed to be compatible with WM5.0, none of them happens to work. When I tap on the respective icons, a rotating raibow-disk cursor shows up - as if the application was being loaded - than it disappears and nothing happens. The application doesn't even appear in the list of running programs under Settings/Memory. I've tried unistalling and reinstalling many times, both on the device and on an external storage card, with no results.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
Ciao,

RE
Acrobat Reader v2.0 installed on my SD card works well without problem
both work fine on my SPV @ Qtek 9000
I had the same problem with Skype.....looks like it is starting but then nothing happens That said, it did load up once or twice.......out of loads of attempts !
I had the same problem with the Acrobat Reader newest version.
Finally i uninstalled it.
Problem solved with Skype!
Hi,
the new version of Skype for Qtek 9000 works fine, now! You can download it at he following URL:
http://skype.com/products/skype/pocketpc/download.html?device=qtek_9000
I still have problems with Acrobat Reader for Pocket PC v2.0, though... I wonder how the same program can behave differently on supposedly identical devices. Evidently, the problem depends on some "extra flavours" added by the various brands that commercialise the Qtek 9000. By the way, my device is unlocked, that is it can accommodate any SIM card.
Any advice on registry tweaks that can help solve the problem? Since Acrobat Reader DOES run on other Qtek 9000 devices, it definitely cannot be a serious compatibility issue.
Acrobat Reader works if Pocket Hack Master is not running.
I had the problem with Acrobat Reader 2.0, but it worked in 'Safe Mode' (Part of SBP Pocket Plus). So I set about running various apps to find the conflict, and it works just fine for me if I exit Pocket Hack Master before loading acrobat.
Hope this helps.
I've heard rumours about only the english version of Acrobat Reader is running on WM 5 at the moment.
@riccioberto: I suppose you used the italian version?

Acrobat Reader now works but can't be uninstalled!
Hi,
I followed tomestos' advice and downloaded the english version of Acrobat Reader for Pocket PC.
Before installing it, I unistalled the Italian version from the PDA by using ActiveSynch (I used the command for removing the application from both the PC and the PDA).
ActiveSynch DID NOT remove the application actually, but it DID remove it from the list of installed applications on the PDA!
When I tried to install the English version, I was asked if I wanted to uninstall the Italian version before. I replied "yes" but the application could not be uninstalled, so the installation of the new version failed...
But - this is the incredible part of the story - now Acrobat Reader works! It is in English and characters on screen are awful - not exploiting VGA mode, I guess -, but works.
The only problem is that I can't uninstall it in the normal way, so I'll probably have troubles with installing new releases.
Any idea on how to solve this further problem?
Regards,
Roberto
Adobe Reader Issues / Solutions
There are a number of Acrobat issues I am aware of and some solutions. Would love some help with the rest!
I have an Imate JasJar (and previously a PDA2k). These come with an application "ClearVue PDF" which allows you to view PDF files. However it doesn't "reflow" the text to make it easier to read on a small screen and doesn't support ebooks which are encrypted with Adobe's DRM. (Just about any ebook you pay for.) Therefore I prefer Adobe Acrobat Reader which is free. The only downside is the memory used and hassle for installing.
Issue 1 - ClearView PDF
After you install Adobe Acrobat; ClearVue PDF is still the default application for openning PDF files.
I have not found a way to uninstall ClearVue PDF. However as there appears to be no executables under program files then I don't believe you would save any memory. I only wish they didn't waste ROM space but that's outside my control. (I'm not into hacking ROMs.)
The easiest solution is to use a registry editor to delete the key...
PocketPC\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\pdffile
...BEFORE installing Adobe Acrobat Reader. The install then sets up the correct file associations and all is well.
Issue 2 - Acrobat starts and then closes
I have found that if you install Acrobat Reader to a storage card then...
You can launch the application and open a file - works OK.
If you open a file from Explorer (or other tool) then Acrobat appears to start up. It even shows you the reflow warning message. However it then closes! (Making it pretty useless.)
Work-arround - Install to memory. Not great because the Jasjar doesn't really have enough memory for my usage. (Today screen apps really need to be installed in memory in case you need to take out the card.)
Solution??? - Help!
Issue 3 - Activating
I've had lots of hassle activating both the PC version and the PPC version.
Solutions...
a) Install the latest version/update on the PC.
b) Disable any local (PC) firewall.
c) Use an internet connection that doesn't require a proxy server.
After that your on your own...
Anyone else???
Try this tip... it works from a SD card for me on my Universal.

Thanks so much once again dude!

i use it with the exec and it works all fine. just that under the drop down menu for webcam settings, i cannot select my old webcam so decided against it.
vapor,
The program has no problem working on my QTEK9000 and I have no problem using my existing webcam on my PC as well
No need to select any webcam. Just plug-and-play my existing webcam
From memory, isn't this app just taking Photos and streaming them across? I've never tried it but read that elsewhere...

Damn, I thought this was gonna add a vidcam for the Pocket PC version of MSN Messenger..
This is pretty cool. If it was high quality and had the option of using both the cameras (not at once) on the universal I'd defo consider the €5 registration.
JAmes
i welcome donations too
I wonder if skype will be supported
this is good but it would better if you could use the camera near the screen on the Universal instead of the main camera...is there a possibility of this?
If this works with WLAN, then you have in your posession a wireless IP camera (of sorts) - haven't tried it myself yet, as have only just read about this app and I'm at work.
Does it only work with MSN or can you use it in any video capture apps?
Thats exactly what you have, although i wouldnt leave it lying about
Its not of good enough quality video (if you ask me) to pay for yet, if this could be improved it would def. be worth paying for.
being able to use the video camera would be good too.
Its seen by windows as a capture device so I imagine it should be able to be used with capture sw.
JAmes
It works with LxCamView.exe on the desktop....
However, if I launch any other application (Trillian, VLC etc.) the app on my PPC fails to pair up with my desktop and throws an error...
Am i missing something???
(Otherwise, its awesome over wifi!!! A poorman's spy camera )
Cheers,
S
tried with my dopod with new rom...
doesnt work
installed the simcap.inf file on my PC but when i try to run the Lxcam application, i get an error msg saying "is not a valid win32 application"
can anyone shed some more light on this as i'd love to have this app up and running.
thank you

If you guys read the installation instructions and readme of the website, its clearly stated this is a known problem. The fix is: (taken straight off the website)
If there are problems with a second webcam in MSN Messenger
If you have selected the LxCamView webcam and it is impossible to switch to another webcam, close MSN Messenger completely (choose Exit in the menu of the MSN Messenger icon in the system tray). Then go to Control Panel - System - Hardware - Device Manager. Under Sound, Video, and Game Controllers, select SimCap. Choose Deactivate, and the LxCamView webcam will not appear any longer in MSN Messenger.

HELP
I need to print PDF's to a bluetooth printer...i have tried printboy but it reformats my document and it is essentially unuseable...i tried clearview and the PDF is not visible unless I bring it into active sync first to allow it to create tags on the PDF.
Adobe Reader 2.0 for Pocket PC. I can view the document but the print button it greyed. What gives?
I would be fine with IR printing but it fails every time I fire a document.
Oh I have the Verizon 6700 version of the Wizard.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help I have been searching on and off for a week and it is driving me insane....
did you try following program?
JETCET PRINT
http://www.westtek.com/pocketpc/jetcet/
Yes i tried that software. I also tried it along with the Clearvue Pro. When I try to view the PDF in Clearvue it is blank. If I bring the same PDF in via Active Sync then it mentions that the PDF is untagged and if I would like it to attempt to tag. Once I run it through this I can see it and print.
The problem with this is that people in the field will be using this and they wont have access to Active Sync. They have to download the PDF and print on the fly.
Did you try using the adobe ppc pdf reader instead of clearvue? I think it is free. Also I think HP has some printer software/drivers. Dont know if it will work but worth a try.
Yes, I have tried Adobe Acrobat also the print button is greyed. I am trying to figure out how to activate it and have been on ADOBE's site in the forums but no one seems to know...also I tried to get the HP drivers but cant find them anymore. They say something on the site about discontinuing the drivers after Oct of 2005 or something.
If anyone has an idea how I can ungrey that print button or get the HP drivers it would be great. I can view my PDF perfect in ADOBE I just cant print.
Thanks again i really apreciate any help and I really need to get this working!
here is a link to download the hp mobile printing 4.0
http://www.pocket4you.com/freeware/index.php?vypis=jedno&id=199
Hope it works for you.
Great! I am downloading now. Thanks a million I will let you know how it works out!
hp mobile printing won't work because you're running WM5.
You may want to try this. It's expensive, but it may work for you. It has a 15 day trial period too.

Ok well I installed it but it doesn't seem to install properly. It gives me an error that it may not work properly because it was designed for a previous version of Windows Mobile. I am of course using Windows Mobile 5.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Any idea how I can get the "Print" button in ADOBE Reader for Pocket PC 2.0 active?
Weatheryoko,
I tried the bachmansoftware solution it is what I called Printboy. It does actually print but the problem is that its sends it somewhere forst where it converts the PDF. When it comes back down and I print it it completely reformats it all out of sequence. It doesn't "Paint" the way I had the report layed out...
I sent them an email this morning to ask them if they could pint me in the right direction as to how it performs this conversion and maybe that will give me insite on how to re-write my report so that the conversion wouldn't affect the content layout so drastically.
Haven't gotten any feedback as of yet from them

On the adobe site it says it works with bluetooth hp printers. Did you try to turn the bluetooth on the wizard on and pair it to the printer? Maybe you can pair the printer and phone using jetcet? Anyways these are some suggestions to try if you already havent. Good luck.
Yeah actually the funny thing is that I am using an HP 450 bluetooth printer...I can the jetcet application comes bundled with Clearvue professional (thats the only way it will print PDF as jetcet by itself doesnt see the PDF's) problem is when I open the PDF in Clearvue it looks blank...
I think it has to do with the fact it is an untagged PDF...
If i take the same PDF and bring it into the handheld using Active Sync it is tagged I can see it and print it...
It is super irritating that Microsoft didn't build native printing functionality into Windows Mobile to begin with...
I am still struggling with this...
Hi People
I'm searching for a great remote desktop mobile for my new HD2 and have problems to find something good.
I'd love to install LogMeIn, but i suppose is impossible at this moment,
This Night i found this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFiDZ_wBAtM&NR=1&feature=fvwp
I suppose is from RDM plus, i install a demo version 3.7.6 and it is very different compared to the Remote desktop mobile from youtube Video.
Where can i find the remote desktop mobile from youtube video?
Need your help, please
Thanks
That's the remote desktop client that comes with Windows mobile 6.5. It's in your start menu, in the tools folder
boss the remote desk top shown in you tube vedio is same as in hd2 .........
its not different ........
Logmein - Ignition works just fine.
or as the others just said - just use the one that came with your HD2.
just wondering whether anyone could help us to set it up step by step...
also just wondering do you have to have a router or it can also work on wireless USB broadband (thats what i have)
I used the theme in our forum for this, but I didnt succeeded with it, because Im using PPPoE internet and when I set everything, their appears conflict and the internet drops...
I found the app already, but what I'm looking for is how I can setup the use of a remote desktop gatewayserver?
The server I address is an IP-address, but in the Windows 7 setting, I need to specify this gatewayserver.
I'm no admin, so I can't install something @ server side.
Thanks for your help!
Koen
PS I was even trying to run only Remote App, instead of Remote Desktop...

First off - well done on getting it working
Secondly, install BsB Tweaks (if you haven't already) as that will let you fix both zooming and auto-rotating in it.
In BsB you can say you want to add an app for either zooming or rotating (you do them seperately, but it's the same process). You'll have to shake the device to let BsB know which app to make changes for. Just make sure you do it on a connected session (in remote desktop), NOT the login screen. They're 2 different things.

hi
I just got my desire (upgrade from Blackstone) and it is amazing.. I am so happy but now down to business.
My Blackstone was tuned to perfection for my app needs (shame about the UI, constant crashing AND slowness despite NRG best efforts with excellent ROMs.)
I have covered lots of my needs and more with great Android Apps (see appbrain thread) but I cannot currently achieve the following.
1. active synch my local outlook email on my laptop.
2. Sling Player (Though I see its coming)
3. Ebook reader for Mobi pocket reader files..... -- I guess I need to move to PDF only and find a decent PDF viewer of which there appears much choice.
4. Some kind of SKYPE/MSN for outside '3' (I have the 3 versions) and checking out Fring.
5. A navigator like Tom Tom for Europe.
cheers
New to android myself .
But just wanted to say that co-pilot for europe is great and support most languages.
Using Aldiko Book Reader for my e-books atm and i like it so far.
Congrats on the Desire btw

Check out Sygic (www.sygic.com) or Navigon (www.navigon.com), both are cool programs. Navigon has a 30 day trial @ Android Market.
1. active synch my local outlook email on my laptop.
Use gmail, or set up exchange syn.
2. Sling Player (Though I see its coming)
Never used it.
3. Ebook reader for Mobi pocket reader files..... -- I guess I need to move to PDF only and find a decent PDF viewer of which there appears much choice.
The pdf viewer is fine. But i dont read books on the phone anyway.
4. Some kind of SKYPE/MSN for outside '3' (I have the 3 versions) and checking out Fring.
Yeah - where the f**k is skype ? Its mental they dont have an android version.
5. A navigator like Tom Tom for Europe.
I missed totom too, but copilot ROCKS !
