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

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.
plz i tried some roms here for wm6.5 but i dont know i feel its a load on my phone and heavy software so plz anyone help me to choose the best rom that help me and not to be so heavy on my phone and also i dont know what GPS program to use and where i can find the GPS programs pls am new user for hd and dont know anything so plz help me
hey no body can help me!!!!!!!! is it no blackstone user in this forum!!!!!!!!
Yes, 2.5 is a little heavy as you say on the HD but I find Xannytech 1.7 to make the most use out of the HD's abilities at the moment. The truth is, you should try a couple of Roms out to see if you like it.
GPS options? Well there are many:
IGO,TomTom, Garmin, just to name a few. None of these are free.
Hope this helped!
Xnor v1.3 is the most stable of his rom. I've tried other roms and kept coming back to this rom. Close to stock rom too.
I'm using Ndrive and iGo amigo
The reality is only you can choose. I'll tell you one rom and the next person will tell you another, and we'll both swear that these are the best and fastest and most stable etc, all of which makes you no closer to a decision.
The best advice is to read the threads for the various roms and see what the users are saying about it, from there you'll see if there are major bugs with the rom. Also look at screenshots and see if you like the rom version (ie bottom buttons vs top buttons). Make your shortlist and try a few out. What one person likes may not be to your liking.
Whatever you choose, be sure to read this thread before going with any cooked rom.

Hello guys, so all you know that Skype just stoped the WinMo version with is very very bad But i wonder few things.. so for example i have few versions of Skype and none of them work on my Touch HD they just don`t want to conect anymore.
But on the same time using 3rd party software like IM + or anything similar you can use Skype.. what i mean is that maybe they just make the Skype for WinMo to not conecting anymore somehow..
I think some advanced peoples from here can try to "Hack it" somehow and we still to be able to use the Skype.
I mean that when you trying to conect maybe the Skype identify you like WindowsMobile or anything and thats is the reason why you are not conected and i cannot understand why then clients like IM+ work without problem this mean that somehow we still can use SKYPE no matter from all.
1st Idea is the latest Skype 3 to be modified by the XDA advanced users if they can make it somehow to work or identify diferent way and we to be able to conect to the Skype server.. in this case we will still use the original SKype and have the same Skape Interface like befor and etc.
2nd Idea to be designed complate new Skype for WinMo like some users start the project XDA Facebook so if enought peoples want it and need it can be done something like XDA SKype for WinMo
Thanks
Hi Tsalta,
I'm using the latest version skype for WM on my Blackstone without problems.
I can't attach it here as it's bigger than the limit, but if you send me a PM with your email, I can forward it to you.

Hi,
I've the same problem on my Omnia :/ (Samsung I900)
Skype doesn't connect :/
I've send to you my mail adress
thx ^^
how go get skype on 6.5
i have a tilt 2 and cannot get skype to connect either. can someone pm me or post the link. thanks
Wow, I was gonna start a new thread with question similar to this!
Well, I'm using Skype almost perfect on Diamond, Touch Pro, and Rhodium, so that means the Skype networks are still giving support to us. BUT, as all of you now, the software support for WinMo 6.X is also discontinued, so we will not have more updates on this. Does that mean is "free software"? Because right now Skype gives Iphone users videocall support, and didn't give to us, when we were more users from 6.X then that iphone users at this point...Money rules I think.
Well, the purpose would be to hack last version, or build a new one with videocall support! Could it be that possible!?
So many thanks to everybody here!

Hello guys.
I want to start by saying that I'm a real newbie when it comes to phones; I have absolutely no knowledge concering them.
I just bought a real nice (and cheap) HTC Elf (Model nr. HTC_P3450 or ELF0100, I dunno which one is the real model nr.), installed with Windows Mobile 6 Professional. Its current version is: CE OS 5.2.1238 (Build 17745.0.2.3)
Now, to the question:
How do I install another keyboard? The one I have right now is rubbish and I am forced to use a stylus in order to write comfortably.
I need a complete step-by-step tutorial on how to download, install it and apply it. Oh and one more thing, I don't have an USB cable, so I am forced to do everything from the phone (Yes, I have internet and I am using Opera Mini 10).
I haven't installed anything on the phone expect for Opera and some other keyboard layouts (that I uninstalled later)
Before anyone rages, I just want to let you guys know that I have searched for different tutorials. But really I find it all confusing, especially this forum for how big it is. I have even tried to download and install many different keyboard layouts (ex. Unofficial Touch PhonePad (+VGA) and vibrate dialpad), but they just don't seem to work (I'm sure that I'm doing it wrong).
Thanks in advance!
