Daylight Savings - Did your JasJar automatically switch? - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

This really strange, clocks went back on Sunday(located in UK)...my imate JAM dutifully notified me of this and adjusted my clock....my JASJAR did nothing, still on old time....all settings, Regional & Time, the same....even more peculiar, I then Activesync via Bluetooth to my PC (PC auto updates daylight savings so is on right time), synchronises fine but no time change on the JASJAR....I check settings on Activesync and "Synchronize Pocket PC Date and time upon connection" is TICKED!! Is there a setting on WM5 to tick adjust for daylight savings time? Can't find it anywhere. Anyone else had this?

Yep, same on my Exec. Seems like a glitch in WM5

my jasjar changed automatically, no problems here at all.
Flubster

Nope, mine didn't update the time 'til I plugged it into my laptop at 8am this morning (I use a slightly more pocketable phone at weekends!)

No problems for me either with my O2 Exec. Updated overnight on Sunday morning. Turned it on at 8am and there was a notification on the Today screen telling me it had changed. Didn't need to sync it.

My XDA exec didn't as well. My BA did anyway

Flubster, SiliconS, what ROM version(s) are you using?

From Control Panel:
ROM version: 1.13.48 WWE

ExtROM version: 1.13.139 WWE
Hope that means more to you than it does to me

Didn't work on my Exec. Standard out of the box ROM.

My JasJar automatically updated with no problems (by itself, not connected to the PC.) I'm still on the standard out of the box ROM.

Not a universal but my BA with WM5 updated ok in the US

My Exec didn't update either- anyone smart enough to work out why some have and some haven't?
Cheers,
Fin

Could it have something to do with what you have regional settings set to?
My Exec updated itself. Regional settings set to "English (United Kingdom)".

My didnt, although regional settings set to english

Mine changed and I'm on English (United Kingdom) too

Mine didn't and I'm on English (United Kingdom) too!
At the moment after a recent hard reset, the only things I've got installed on my JJ are SPB Diary, TCPMP, and Resco Explorer (+ftp & regedit).
I'm not at all bothered by this, 'cause as I said earlier, it changed as soon as I sync-ed at home, but I am mildly interested as to why it didn't adjust itself automatically. (I've probably unticked a box somewhere, knowing me?)

ClearType Software

Hi,
I'm new on this forum (owner of a Qtek 2020 since yesterday !). I'm looking for a software that allow me to fine tune the ClearType Font. This software was included in the ROM of my previous Pocket PC (iPAQ 2210). Do you know if a such software is available ?
Thanks

I don't think it's software that can be downloaded, in the iPAQ 2210 it was baked in the ROM. unless our friends at xda-developers try and develop something for it in their new ROM kitchen
Cleartype is in the O2 rom and should also be in yours already, check your settings panel - Settings->System->Screen and check 'enable Cleartype'.

I don't need to enable ClearType. It's already done on my Qtek. What I need is the possibility to adjust it (see the picture below).
I know what Roffa says. It's included in the 2210 ROM. But I think that maybe a developper has developped it for all Pocket PC ... :?:

Screen Rotation for Dummies (SRS)

Hi,
This is seems to be the last version of our magic tool - Screen Rotation Service (or SRS). It includes Second Edition's Today Theme (menu & today scrollers support in landscape) and feature to automatically resize your today screen for Landscape Theme!
(Download it here: setup.armv4.exe)
During installation you will need to answer "Yes" to this message:
Code:
The file"\Windows\ace_ddi.dll" is hidden, read-only, or a system file. Would you like to replace the existing file?
After installation you need to go to: [Start menu] - [Settings] - [Today] and select "WMSE" theme from the list
And one more, minimize (X) your programs before switching
Thanx to abc and everyone here!
Re: SRS HE = Halloween Edition
Feel free to post your feedback/questions on this version of SRS to this thread
More recommendations that i remember about SRS:
1) Do not soft-reset your device when in landscape-mode
2) Minimize (X) your programs when switching between different modes
To install SRS-HE:
1] Download SRS-HE to your PC
2] Run it to get "setup.armv4.cab"
3] Copy this file to your PDA
4] Tap on it to install SRS-HE
5] Soft-reset your device
6] Go to [Start Menu] -> [Settings] -> [Today]
7] Select "Wmse" Theme from the list
8] Use [Start Menu]->[Settings]->[SRS] to switch the modes

No it is installable on any Himalaya device with any combinations of ROM, radio and ExtROMs
If it doesn't run at your specific system, you can always uninstall it without any damage. It really worth to try!
Yeah, I have ROM 1.60 (latest O2 UK rom) and it didn't work very well at all. Half the OS had problems, including the camera (even v2.5), the Today screen and many of the Control Panel applets.
I've seen reports on this site of people having fewer problems with ROM 1.66, but I don't think anybody has claimed that they've got it working with ROM 1.60 without problems.
Still, I'm hoping O2 UK are going to release 1.72 tomorrow!

Where did you get such ROM version? And why you are not moving to 1.72? It doesn't really matter who the supplier of the ExtRom is (imate, qtec, tmob...) it is a matter of OS rom content. So, just update your device and receive a set of 1.72 advantages (faster BT binding, greater performance, no good CT and so on)

I got the update from my service provider: O2 in the UK. It's the latest version available, at the moment. I don't need all the hassle of messing about with ROMs from other countries and providers. I'll wait until the next ROM is released by O2 for me. (Tomorrow.)

Well I guess the skins are not all we need to have them work in landscape mode. What we need are dll files who "teach" to app what skin to chose... :roll:

I have a sugestion for all of ya, I have SRS instaled on my mda II, and I like it, but don't ever set an alarm in landscape mode, my MDA was playing the stupid melody for quite a long before it stoped.
The reason is that there were no snoose an dismiss button.
Even a soft-reset won't help.
Maybe the action button, but mine stoped by itself.

Tried it on a 9100 and it works for me. Did you do a reset after you changed the settings? Also what apps are you running and I can do some work on it for you.

New email message Vibrate problem

Hi,
I've been trying to get the MDA Vario to vibrate when I get a new Email message, but it will very occasionally do it and the rest of the time it doesn't. I have ticked vibrate in Sounds and notifications, but its still abit hit and miss.
Can anybody help ?
Thanks in advance.
Ash.
Any chance you could maybe let us have a few details such as what ROM version you are using, any apps you use etc.. I'd have a look myself but It's hard for me to see your phone from here.. :wink:
ROM Version : 2.21.2.6 WWE
ROM Date : 3/9/06 <---- American format
Radio version : 02.19.11
Protocol version : 4.1.13.09
ExtROM version : 2.21.2.109
I have got Pocketbreeze / Pocket weather / TT Navigator 5.21 / Resco 2005 Explorer.
The problem seems to be if the Backlight is on, then it will vibrate. If the Backlight is not on then it will not vibrate for new email, but will still vibrate for new SMS or voice calls.
Im not sure if this behaviour is by design or by fault.
Any ideas ??? I REALLY want the unit to vibrate for emails as its a really good function.
Ash99
OK - I have just tried some tests on my Wizard. With the backlight on I can receive text & email and both activate the vibration function.
With the device in standby (backlight off), a new email notifies and vibrates but does not take the device out of standby. A new SMS both vibrates and turns on the device.
I don't run any of the apps you listed. Have you thought about upgrading your ROM?
MMMmmm ..... Interesting.
I've got the latest T-mobile uk ROM installed that was released a few days ago.
I wonder if there are any other users that have this same issue ?
Also does anyone know of any registry tweaks thsat might help.
Anyone ?
The problem wasn't fixed until AKU 2.3 (maybe 2.2, I don't remember).
In that case ....... What AKU version has T-mobile uk just released ?

I believe it's 2.2, but not sure..I can check for you when I get home and let you know.
Not sure what they released but you can check yourself by going to settings>system>about and looking at the build info. Mine says 14955.2.3.0. The 2.3.0 bit at the end indicates that you have Aku 2.3
T-mobile UK - AKU
The latest T-Mobile UK - Build is 14847.2.0.0
AKU 2.0 - they are a little behind....
but it is certainly a stable build (for me anyway)
Charlie Grillo
Yep, mines 14847.2.0.0 and T-mobile UK took for EVER to release this update, So the gits will prob take another few years to release any other update.
I might have to look at other ROMS. Any suggestions ?

Weird camera adjust

Someone please confirm or help, do you have same problem?
In camera setting page - advanced - adjust (Like you want to adjust your contrast, hue, brightness, saturation for your camera) I can't setdown the value (Default is 3, I can't set it to 2 or 1) if my today screen is set to potrait. But in landscape (Right or left handed) i can decrease the value.
Any one have same problem, or any fix?
Thanks.
ei mate
i'm sorry but i don't have that issue with my dopod. i tried it out by setting the default to portrait. from there i activated the cam and went to the settings. i could bring it down to 1.
cheers
Thanks for your reply. Anyway can you tell me what is your ROM version? Because i did confirmation to dopod indonesia, and they said all of they DOPOD U1000 have same problem.

I don't have this issue too, and it's actually the first time i heard this as well. I doubt the confirmation they made is true, since non of the other DOPOD ROM has this issue. Anyway, my ROM Version is 1.24.709.3 EXT: 1.24.709.105
I have the same problem with my U1000.
Portrait mode, settings can only be increased to +4 and +5, but not decreased back down again.
Landscape mode, everything is fine and working. I can decrease as well as increase the levels.
My ROM version is 1.24.707.3
Ext ROM 1.24.707.104
It looks like they have fixed this in the later ROM release as shown by wu's results.
Yes they fix on ROM ver: 1.24.709.3
But on my free pack i got ROM upgrade CD but htis only upgrade my Ext ROM to: 1.24.707.105, only add My connect.
Thanks everyone !!!!

My conclution it's ROM 1.24.707.3 problem's. But I can't find any 1.24.709.3 ROM version in member's dopod home page.
Some help maybe?
Are you guys and gals able to zoom in and out with your camera. Mine does not seem to be able to do so. On the left side of the camera screen, there is a vertical bar which I think is for zooming, but it does not respond to clicking or dragging. Do you have the same problem?
zoom only works if you not use 3Mpix resolution.because it's digital zoom not optical zoom. Maybe some one can hack if zoom will work on 3Mpix but your pict will so pixelated, look bad (Like you using your DigiCam and us digital zoom.). And your zoom avaibility will increase if you use lower pixel.
I think it work like that.
