Hi all,
Lets all contribute a list of applications which are confirmed to interfere with the normal WM5.0 operations.
As we all know there are a lot of hanging problem or stablility issue on this 5.0 OS.
SPB pocket plus (suspected)
Mark
Well now, lets immediately rule that one out.
Sure it probably slows it down a little bit, but I dont believe I have a conflict. I use SPB PP, SPB Weather, SPB Diary, SPB GPRS and all are working and fully operational.
So should we stop right here?
Problem on WM5 with the latest version of Battery Pack Pro, Version 2.1.

Thnks a Lot
Luis.
I'll start:
Hudson IP dashboard
SPB PocketPlus 3
Tweaks2K2 latest build
Wisbar Advance 2 (latest beta build)
Resco File Explorer
Microsoft Voice Command 1.5
rilot have you tried Hudson Phone Dashboard. Does it work as well?
Thanks
Just checked.
Yes it does.
try looking at the lists of programs which works on himalaya and blue angel
in mw2005 mode it would be likely that compatiblity is os related and not
hardware related
Fax software for jasjar?
Any links appreciated
Hi,
Here is the link for working programs in WM5. http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=20727&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
By the way, Anyone ever successfully installed Money 2005 for PPC?
I tried to install it. It installed successfully, but when ActiveSync 4 sync the money database, a box just came out saying "Reading device databases" and stays there forever. No sincronization at all...
Best Regards,
You may already know, but MS has released Money2006 for PPC.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...65-42f5-4dca-b301-9f05a8583692&DisplayLang=en
I haven't tried it, but maybe it will solve your sync issues? If not, then we ought to slap MS for not even preparing their own software for AS4 and WM5.
WM2005 and software working (not??)
In relation to these:
SPB PocketPlus 3
Resco File Explorer
Microsoft Voice Command 1.5
I couldnt get them to work. SPB works for "quicklaunch" on the today screen, but no forced "close", no battery indicator, no PIE tweaks etc.
Resco couldnt even see the windows directory, and all Icons were not displaying correctly, and MSVC installed but doesnt work properly, and now wont install as I cant even get the icon out of settings.
If somebody can help me to get these to work, wonderful, maybe I have old versions? I love these 3 products and would be grateful to anybody who can help get them to work.
use the latest versions of resco exolorer and spb produts(plus,weather,gprs). they works
SW use in Jasjar(tested all working)
Pocket Paint
Sound Editor
VT sketch
wordmateha
winzip
games
Flux challange
sky force
billiards
Well, I currently have:
Working perfectly:
SPB Pocket Plus 3.1
Pocket Weather
Resco Explorer
Resco Radio
Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide
Tweaks 2K2
SK Tools
One For All Solitaires
Worms World Party
Working and Usable:
Pocket Breeze (Some settings screens don't display perfectly, but it doesn't affect usability)
Pocket Music Bundle (Folder selection screens have some corruption, but after setting it up to load my entire music folder into the playlist at startup, everything appears in my playlist without any problems)
Morphgear (You need to fiddle about with the 'Orientation' and button mapping settings to get the up, down left and right buttons to actually 'do' up, down left and right, as Morphgear refuses to run properly in landscape mode)
Not working:
Contact Breeze
I've also tried out the SPB Weather & Diary which work perfectly, but I'm happier with Pocket and Contact Breeze (when it's updated) and Pocket Weather, so I've ditched most of my SPB stuff.
So far:
Pocket Plus 3.01
Planmaker - but beware you have to install in portrait mode
Textmaker - " " " " " " "
Calendar Plus from MohairSofa - a little dodgy doesn't quite line up the list right.
OK, I'll add my successes and failures:
Full Details click here
Very Good:
SOTI Pocket Controller v5.04 with my own skin.
WebIS Pocket Informant 2005 R3 Beta.
SBSH Pocket Breeze v4.3.18
Lakeridge WisBar Advance 2 v2.4.1.10
TCMP BetaPlayer v0.66
SPB Pocket Plus v3.0.1
Pocket Hack Master 2005 v3.15.000
Total Commander Registry cleaner
With some issue or disabled feature:
Pocket Music Bundle Pro v3.71 - but with landscape issues
VITO Sound Explorer 2005 v1.25 - No Today Plugin - Needs Hack Master!
Can't be installed yet:
Sprite Backup v3.1.3
SBSH Contact Breeze v1.1.0.1
CoPilot v5.0 GPS software
Rumored to work with some fiddling:
Tom Tom Navigator v5.1 GPS
Destinator 3 GPS
@Kevinnugent
In case of Planmaker have you noticed that once the available ram drops to around 15MB it stops working. The colourful circle spins for a short duration and then nothing happens. I do a soft reset which restores the available RAM to around 27MB and then planmaker starts working again till the available RAM again drops to 15MB or so.
I am using it on a JJ and this is a problem for me. For you and others I don't really know but would be obliged if you can test for me the operation of Planmaker at reduced memory conditions. Love to hear your comments.
Regards

This has been identified as an issue cause by PocketPlus, you should see whether you run the latest version 3.01 build 4036 or later.
An updated version of Planmaker is in the works though.
I am thinking about doing a hard reset because I noticed that Spb diary, weather and pocket plus cause my BT icon to disappear whenever I have all 3 installed and do a soft reset. I also keep getting an error message with my bejeweled 2 game. It keeps saying the game cannot be saved. I have the super Jam w/128 megs and did the bigstorage hack. Does anyone else have these problems-and do you think a hard reset will correct these issues?
entirely up to you..you may want to try uninstalling them one by one and see if performance improves...otherwise hard reset and start again is good too..it will TRIM some FAT off RAM now that you know which apps you want to install.
Good point. I guess what I am really asking is if anyone successfully has all SPB products - DIARY, WEATHER, POCKET PLUS - working on their Imate Jam or Magician without any problems, such as major slowdowns, BT icons disappearing, etc. I am doing my clean install now, but just wanted to know if it is even worth installing DIARY since I would prefer Pocket Plus and Weather over Diary if I can't have all three working well with the Jam.

I've used PocketPlus and Weather before on my handheld..it works pretty well...only starts to lag when I have installed too many today plugins so I removed the PocketPlus but kept the Weather. But generally you'll find PocketPlus is a very popular plugin.
Well, so far so good. I have all three working now and when I did a reset, my BT icon showed up as well. It seems to run fairly smooth on startup. I unchecked the Pocket plus "fix 2003 duplicate alarms" and "suspend mode." I also did not install any of the extended rom files, except my tmobile settings. I made a backup using Sprite, just in case something goes wrong.
Oh, I forgot to ask if you received your Transcend 4GB card? I wanted to know if it is working well. It should be a good card for you.
Not yet...hopefully Monday or Tuesday...once I get I'll straight away test and post results
Is anyone using SPB Diary on the Universal, I have it running on the Orange M5000, but i have a problem with it. It runs fine but then the icons down the left hand side that let you change to contacts/calender etc dissapear. As soon as these dissapear every second the program memory goes down by 0.03MB until it is all gone and the phone locks up.
You can even go into memory and watch it ticking down. To resolve the issue i can turn off SPB Diary and start it up again, but thats only if i catch it before all the memory has gone, and this does not free up the memory that has been used.
Has anyone seen this before or got a solution, i really like the program, but obviously won't be able to continue using it if it has this problem.
I Use SPB Pocket Plus (current beta) but did use the released version.
I personally dont like Diary much unless as a plug in to the SPB PP application, to keep the tabs across the top simple and efficient and not take up to much real estate.
I also use SPB Weather, and also run it as a plug in to SPB PP.
I have never encountered the problem that you are referring to, even when I did run it as a seperate application by itself.
Do you have the latest release?
Also note that I dont think it promotes Diary as being WM2005 release, it just happens to work.
I too was a user of Spb Diary. Switched meanwhile to SBSH Pocketbrreze with Contactbreeze and iLauncher. The perfect combination IMO
Cheers

Yes i have downloaded the latest build, as far as i'm aware, and this is apparently compatiable with Windows Mobile 5
Well i went for SPB Diary as i was buying SPB Finance at the same time so i got a small discount, for the same reason i did not test the software before buying it!
I will probably look at breeze if this fails to work out.
Pocket Breeze has far, far more options, and infinitely better support via the SBSH Forums, However, it is currently slower than SPB Diary (especially for screen rotation). Hopefully the new release of PB due out soon will solve this issue though...
I must say i was quite impressed with Pocketbreeze after looking at it on their site, I've had a response back from SPB support that hinted towards the fact it may be because i have installed it onto the SD Card, can you install pocketbreeze onto the SD Card with no problems?

You can install it to SD-card and it will work fine. However, it will put a couple of smallish library files in main memory, and they should stay there, otherwise you may have problems with the Today screen when the Universal is turned on - since the SD-card will be powered down and take a while to power on again.
Hi Friends,
I om really sick of correcting the screen alignment every 2 hours.
please tell me there is a cure/fix to this issue.
In my extended rom I have deleted the following
SKYPE
Smart Dialling
Anti Virus
Backgammon.
The 3rd party softwares that I use are
Tweaks2K2
Ewallet
Worldmate Pro
SPB pocket plus
SPB Finance
Pocket Breeze 5.01
Pocket calc
Sprite Backup
Pocket Mechanic
SPB Imageer
Personal Vehicle Manager.
PLEASE HELP ME
Thanks
Ahmed
To be honest if it really is every two hours I would back it up, hard reset the thing and make sure it doesn't have problems in an out of the box configuration.
If it is ok then I'm afraid you will have to deal with the fact that you are going to have to incrementally load your software to determine what is causing the problem. For reference Ewallet is the only software in common with my configuration and I have zero issues. Also I don't use skype and deinstalled the AV as well as the Backgammon software.
I had this program before.
I was using OmapClock and adjusted it to 252.
Now I set it to 240 and have no problem
Actually I still have this problem even when I didn't overclock it
The only program I have the same is SPB Pocket Plus on that list.
wow! great to hear someone else has this problem. you guys think this is software related and not hardware? i bought my dopod818 (but is on jamin rom) from another country. so its gona be hard for me to have it replace for now.

I'm also having the same issue and I also use SPB Pocket plus.
I'm good
I don't experience any funky screen alignment problems. I did however, with my Cingular 8125 (HTC Wizard) but now with my prophet I'm good. I have a ton of apps installed and overclocked to 240 (225-227 actual).
I do know how annoying this can be. I would do the backup and hard reset to see what your out of box status is. I'm sure it's a 3rd party app problem.
I too use SPB Pocket + so that may not be the problem. I did have SKYPE on my Wizard and not on my Prophet so it may be SKYPE or a combination.
I also did a lot of ROM swaps on my Wizard and so far none on my Prophet so that me be a factor.
Aquired my o2 exec 2 days ago. After installing Spb software, Today screen is very cluttered, scrolls very slow and occasionally freezes for a couple of seconds. any advise for a fix please?

de-install spb and find another tool to do the functions you need.
had the same thing in several program-combi's and install-order
that bad huh.. i looked around and found Spb connected issues..
thanks
I use all pda soft by spb, I find it great. the problem you mentioned used to afflict also my 9000, but it has been 99% solved after installing the last pocketplus version (should be 3.1.2) which fixes the memory leak and looks like its a lot faster than the others. on the other hand, it is slow while loading the today plugin only after a soft reset or when you modify it, since it has to cache again all the icons,tabs and so on. apart from those events in my 9000 its rare delays are fairly acceptable if compared to an absolutely stable software, which is perfect in my opinion!
My MDA pro was very slow when I had the battery indicator used on my today screen. Removing it solved my problem. Maybe yours too...???
I also use the latest versions of SPB and of course the speed of your Universal will be slightly reduced. You are running some extra programs, but I find it working relativly quick. I still have 22mb of working memory left after a soft reset with all the SPB apps opened. Only SPB diary can take some seconds to load when you haven't used it for a while.
