WM5

I tried Magneto on my Himalaya,but I had lot of problems(see 'Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking'). Is it there same problems also for Typhoon? Meaned the biggest problems such as unability to connect via ActiveSync,unability to accept many applications from 2003SE,etc. Someony who has it already tried,please write here your opinions and experiences. Thanx.

On Typhoon, Activesync works perfectly, you can't unlock it, neither for applications, nor to use another sim card, you can't use USSD... Don't load it for the now and wait for the final version.

+1 you are right.. it is so early for WM2005. if you load microsoft can test WM 2005 on your phone and you will be cavy...

Will there ever be a stable WM5 for the typhoon?

It can be application unlocked very easily with a simple registry change.
I dont see the problems eveyone is having with the typhoon with wm 5, its very stable I dont get any crashes or lockups any more. Tom tom 5 even works relaibly. The only downfall is the camera, which im sure there will be a fix.

?
I am still interesting about the applications. WM5 needs applications designed especially for this OS or accepts also the apps,which are running also on WM2003(se)? My Himalaya,while running on Magneto,wants not accept lot of the software that I am using with WM2003se normally...

I've been running WM5 on Typhoon for 1 week.
It's awesome. (totally happy, no issues with anything)
The WM5 GUI look & feel is much better for everythying
It seems faster
I really enjoy having photo/ring-tone based contacts built in.
radio seems to aquire quicker
Active Sync over GPRS and IMAP mail is MUCH faster!
I also recommend Pocket Controller Professional. You can control any pocket pc or smartphone from your computer! (and sync files, etc etc) It comes with “skins” so it looks like your whole phone is up on the screen. (very nice to "type" in stuff now and then too) Works great on the Typhoon with WM5 so far.
The Tornado should be interesting in Oct. (similar size + WiFi + EDGE)

s4czech or anyone else, could you please indicate me a link where to find a complete explanation on how to upgrade to WM5?
I already downloaded the upgrade, but as I donno the procedure all I get is error' messages that this or that is missing... Thanks!

Programs That work in Jasjar

Hello :
Anybody can put a list of software that already tried and work in jasjar ?
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.

Does anyone know an alternative to Terminal Services Client?

Hey there, now that I've got my shiney new XDA Exec, with its VGA Screen and inbuilt Wi-fi I want to have a play with the Terminal Services Client to control my PC...I'm pretty sure that's what it can be used for right?
Well anyway from what I've read TSC can connect to (among other things) Win XP Pro computers with remote desktop enabled...however my computer only has XP Home so I can't do this, so can anyone recommend an alternative (possibly better?) program that I can use to control my XP Home PC using my XDA Exec....
cheers!

VNC (free)
GoToMyPC (not free)
There is more information in the "terminal services full screen" thread in this forum.

I have been using GoToMyPC for a long time. It's a subscription-based service. But I am happy with it. Very stable and functional. And full-screen.

prob with those apps is, terminal services connects to all modern windows operating systems and no extra software is needed, im not running round the country installing vnc onto everything, if its already got RDC/Terminal Services intergrated. On my work network i have access to 36k+ machines, yer 36,000 machines. all 2000,XP,2003, the other 30k machines are still NT or 98, upgrades aint a overnight thing!!!
so you see, not an option im afraid
*edit* what really grinds me is that i would have thought it was obvious to M$ that fullscreen should be an option, but as with the diabolical MSNM, the most obvious upgrades never appear, surlly in that groups aint a hard thing to do. and turn the bloody beeping off when ppl sign in.
Obvious things strategicly lost??

use www.logmein.com man its freakin great and you can use for free
if you put your device in landscape it is a clean view too

z2remote2pc works a little better than logmein, I think. A little more control of the desktop with z2. LogMeIn is nice though.

but do these apps use the RDC protocol ? i cannot amend 30k+ machines just to do remote desktop, it has to be compatible else its pretty useless to me soz

Carnivor, I presume your request is satisfied?
Why on earth 30,000 machines? Heyzus!
What PDA are you using?
V

30k machines is roughly the number of client machines the company i work for has. i have access to them all via TS, not that i need them all, i mainly access a handful of desktops that are mine, and the clients servers.
its quite handy to be able to wifi my desktop in the room next door when im standing at a rack in the server room as there is nothing but racks in there and an additional desktop in there would get easilly spotted.
im on a Jasjar btw, happy to test your app wink wink**
and i have VS 2005, is it poss for a 2003 project to be loaded into VS 2005 and compiled??? if you aint got it yet its a possibility
ps, ohh yes, im satisified, its what should have been done on theyre attempt ( M$ )

Carnivor - I have Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2. I'm waiting on RC1 because the tools I use in Beta 2 don't work properly on the WM5 emulator. As soon as I get a new version of VS2005, I'll sort through the WM5 issues and bang out a preliminary version for you guys to try.
The current version should still work nicely even on Wm5, but only in Portrait QVGA. However, a full landscape VGA version should follow soonish.
If you've got a spare VGA PDA, send it my way! I'm desperate :wink:
V

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200)
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 2.0.50727
thats the version i have

Must have apps?

I'm new to the windows mobile world but I'm loving my 8525. After a few days of reading I successfully upgraded to vp3g WM6 rom.
Now I'm wondering what are some of the must have apps that I should install?

Must have APPS )for me at least( .. Wisbar Advanced, Pocketbreeze, Phonealarm, PocketRSS, Madden 2006, Call of Duty 2.. Weatherpanel, Virtual Pool.. um .. yeah thats pretty much all I need..

Great choice, I have the vp3g 2.0 on my 8525 as well.
Currently I'm running (must have):
New Kaiser HTC Home Plugin
IM+ (for aim and google talk)
Opera browser
Resco Explorer
SPB Backup
Other junk:
SBSH Weather (not sure if its my favorite or not)
Slide2Unlock (dont know why I installed it)
Tweaks:
shogun cingy threaded sms hack (threaded sms conversation like on treo)

I need all these:

Got a link? did a search with no results.

My favourites are - Opera Browser, SPB Insight, SPB Diary, SPB Mobile Shell, SPB Backup, 1-Calc, Monopoly, Scabble, Microsoft Reader, TomTom 6, Google Maps, PHM RegEdit and Snails. Hope this long list helps.

If you like adding software - the first thing above all else to get is a full backup application. I use SPB backup but there are others. It will save you from having a miserable time when you have to do a hard reset (which you will at some point!)
Mike

I have been through alot of programs, and the one I can seem to live without is SPB Phone Suite. I find with the last 3 roms I have tried from here, this seems to work on all of them. And that makes me very happy.
I lke SPB Mobile Shell too. 23 years of being a jet aircraft mechanic, my fingers aren't what they used to be.
For IM try Octro
Others are The Core Pocket Mobile Player, MobiBlgr, Pocket Mechanic, and Nine Hole Golf.
I am still working on mixing and matching, but these I use the most.
I did alot of searching around and have a good compilation of programs. I had a Toshiba E740 when I was stationed in Japan, and I still have a few cool things from that stuuf I would like to find new versions of for my 8525.

Help with my HD2 t-mobile problems

Ok I have been pulling my hair out about this. I have a HTC HD2 from t-mobile. I haven't reflashed or changed the rom. All I have done is install and customize the folders and some things like that. I will list the things I have installed and maybe someone can tell me what program is the problem. I have hard reset 2 times because it pisses me off so bad and before I do it again I wanted to see if anyone could help. The problem is if I get a text when I am sending or typing one the phone LLAAGGS really bad and sometimes locks up and I have to pull the battery. this happens alot of the time if I am doing anything when I get a text. Even trying to open a text to read and if I get a new text at that time.. LOCK.. or if it dont lock then its REALLy slow and there isnt any apps running that I can see. I always close apps and look and see what is running alot. Sometimes when I even try to use the phone to call someone it wont make the call... doesn't say anything like can't connect at this time or anything. I click on a contact and then call that contact and its like I never push call.. it lights up like I am trying but never starts to make the call. All this really sucks when you are trying to make a call or even talk to more then one friend at a time in text. can anyone help me find out what I need to do or what I am doing wrong. I haven't flashed the rom because I dont want to try something new and not like it and can't go back to the way it was. Please help.

If anyone see's something that might be the problem please let me know.
if there is any other info I need to provide let me know also.
Thanks

i thought i had alot installed on my device wow u win u really need to take them all off and work it out one by one only other thing i suggest is flash a new rom and use it for a couple of days without tweaks or apps to see if the fault could be with the rom

Try turning
off Manilla and running from the raw windows mobile screen. See if it still does the same.
Are you running task 2 before re-flashing?

Conflict?
That's a lot of apps, increasing the chances of a conflict with some dodgy software.
I am running TMOUS 2.10 on my Leo here in Aus and it works like a charm. Much more reliable and less conflicts than cooked roms.
I had an issue with swype, and discovered that when I popped out my sd card, lag in swype dissapeared instantly, so I backed up the content of my sd and reformatted, then copied files back onto sd..
I'm not sure if your problem is the same but try popping out the sd, with phone running, and see if it fixes your lag issues.

C'mon now - maybe the guy needs ALL 61 apps

Ive got the same problem. Its driving me crazy. Receiving a text message shouldn't lock up the device and require a soft reset. Its just crazy. I know exactly how frustrating it is to need to read a text or shoot one off and you cant do anything bc its frozen.
I will post my apps when I get a chance, I dont have near as much running as you do but maybe together we can find the culprit.
