How can I set my phone to notify me (vibrate or tone) when I receive hotmail or an IM with Pocket MSN?
u cant u have to be online to get your mail
technically, you could ping your hotmail account and display a notifier if you've got a new mail. But as musiccube says, you'd have to be online.

Frequently, almost daily my phone will say that it has a cellular signal (cingular) but I am unable to make or receive a call. I must soft reset to use the phone. Any reason why this is happening? Is there a fix?

Missing miniSD
I have a dopod 838 [aka WIZA 100]. I was fiddling with my device today and I noticed in Resco Explorer that my miniSD card was missing [I checked the slot and it was inserted] I look at it thru Explorer via Activesync and the miniSD was not there also. I did a soft reset and it came back. Has anyone else experienced a problem like this? I have a 1GB miniSD from SanDisk.
some contacts don't sync
I can't Activesync some contacts with Outlook. The problem seems to be only related to contacts with a note in Outlook. Removing the note doesn't help, I have to manually copy all the details without the note, then the new contact is synchronized.
Help! Help!
What I got:
Qtek 9100
Activesync 4.1
Office 2003

I am also experiencing this from time to time, and this is what I do when it is happening.
Disconnect sync cable. Close all running apps on the pda. (I use an app called InClose) Connect sync cable again and I am connected.
Hope that this works for you too!

Guys, someone was asking for a Bluetooth Manager for the Magician. I have no idea if this works, but it seems to load ok. It's from the eten rom.
It might do nothing at all, but it looks cute :wink:

Vijay now it is working on my Universal. But there is a small problem. It doesn't show good in VGA resolution. The icons and text seem really distorted... Would it be possible to make a VGA version?
Thank you in advance for all your contribution...
Mythozz: it would be possible to make a VGA version - it's all resource hackable. But I'm only posting it as a curiosity. Unless there's overwhelming demand that indicates it's useful, I'll leave it to someone else to resource hack... (and please post your results back here).
Have you found it good for anything? I don't think it particularly adds any functionality, just puts it all neatly together in one place. But I don't really use Bluetooth, so can't say if it adds anything.
V
Works nice on my SPV M3000 (NL).
Nice looking tool, to bad you have to scroll on some pages
vijay It is working just fine with my Uni, no problems at all. It's really nice that I can do anything I normally do with Bluetooth, but in a more sophisticated way... I use it all the time, I have a BT headset, a BT carkit, I ActiveSync with my PC via BT, exchange files as well so I have to admit that I am a fanatic user of such programs.
I understand that it is trouble for you to create a VGA version, so I will wait and see if you or someone else comes up with such a version. If not, no worries, in any case I thank you for a usefull program
Good to know it works! If I get a bit of time, I'll resource hack it, but anyone with VS2005 can open it up and do it for us - I'm desperately trying to finish a UI for VJToggleToday II so am very tied up

Thank you in advance Vijay :wink:
Diggia: I'm not really sure. Perhaps start with the zipped version, decompress and copy folder to Phone. Again, launch twice.
I'm sure you have already, but make sure you have de-certified your phone first.
Otherwise, I'm not sure. As I said, this is stolen from the Eten, but it works on both of my phones:?: If the zipped version doesn't work, I'll try looking into it further.

Just for curiosity, what can i do to see if my device is de-certified ?

Diggia: just the usual, try running any of my cabs and see if they install. Ie your system is set up to run uncertified software... I can't remember what system you're using, but the regedit is probably in the wiki if you need it, and there are a few cabs in the hacks section to do this. But I'm sure we're all running a decertified system now anyway!
V
I install your cabs without any problems (I have just installed VJDeviceLock, very useful !!!)
About the system, i have Qtek 9000 (WM5 obviously) with the last Qtek italian Rom taken from the FTP
I have installed the EnableRapi.cab also
The VJBlueToothManager must be run from memory ?
Because I try to launch your application from SD

PS: What's VJToggleToday II ?
Diggia - wow, didn't think of that
VJToggleToday II is an app to maximise the screen space of the Today screen, by shrinking the start bar and softkeys to an option size.
eg (not my screenshot)
I'm currently working on transforming it into something much better, hopefully But the current alpha works quite well.

WOW !!!! :shock:
Excellent work, i must try it ! 8)
ViJay,
I think this is the only bt app that can do ftp!! It's great (I use it only for this ability)
It would be great if this can be modified, so that pairing can be done (it currently does add something in the registry, unusable but is something )
I'll literally fall in love (of the manager of course XD)
Speaking on your start-softkey bars hack, it looks really nice: but what software can I add to add another customizable start bar with the same features? and how can I show the icons in the lower bar? Keep the good job!!

as far as i know there is no Answering system works with wm2003
so i think the problem regarding the answering machine has been solved in WM5 but there is no individual application to enable answering system on other wm5 phone edition PPC's like Prophet, is there any answering program like the one used in i-teq?
please introduce it if you any.
here is screen shot of i-teq bond
lover - this is a specific software and hardware solution provided by Gigabyte. It's not a generic WM5 solution.
Have a read around the board on why that might be the case.

The overdub could be awesome too.

so i think this is a software which is in ROM and there is no hardware added, ithink so.
it would be great if some one get that software from the original ROM.
thanks for sharing
lover: I'm inclined to disagree. I've tried the app on the Magician, Universal and Mio A701. No joy.
The attached, ripped from the ROM, may require other associated files, but I've tried the whole ROM in its complete form. It appears to be non English, so I may be reading it wrong, but let me know if you have any luck.

than you very much but
it didnt work on my JAMin., does any one knows which company is the developer of this software?
Maybe I'm missing something here, but can someone enlighten me as to why you would want an answering machine on your phone when your mobile phone carrier already supplies you with that service? Just want to make sure I'm not missing out on any features here.
i dun think its just a software api that does this answering machine..
most likely to be a hardware inside the phone that is not present in other phones.
It is just a software!
There is a rom (2.03 Beta TofClock Himalaya) and it has this answering machine...
bepe: I think that's specific to the Himalaya. Because of the way the modem works on PocketPC phones, not all (in fact, it seems, very few) have the audio path accessible by the device itself for two way recording.
Have a read through here. If you've had any sucess, please post:

To pay $ 18.95 for an app that you can do for FREE? I've reported about a long ago (it's REALLY worth following my blog ) - I'd certainly prefer it to this one.

Just my two cents...
I don't think the software won't work on any device other than g-Smart range, it's to do with the hardware of the phone, not WM5. Without this hardware I believe it is impossible to record both sides of the conversation without some massive application, which will probably (a) slow the ppc right down, as will need to be integrated into the OS, and (b) not be that cheap either.
Regards.
just a quick qn.. if i want to try on my hermes, how to i 'install' it?
do i need to tweak any registry settings?
thanks
that would be a great app i think!! i'm on pay as you go and orange charge 10p per min to retieve voicemail!! would be super if the phone itself took over and saved an mp3 or something to the memory card!!! no charges!!
come on!!! some make or find it!!!
If you are a beta tester for the project, it's now available for the WM5 pocket pc platform.

I got it...can we sync our contacts with the device? that would be incredible.

Agreed.... What is WLMM.
Google points to:
Wireless LAN Mobility Module
Workload Management-Monitoring
Neither one sounds right though and I don't see anything on connect that would merrit that acronym.

You have to be accepted into the beta first (took ages for me)
There is a seperate beta for Windows Live Mobile which you have to join. It's faster if you are already a beta tester for another service.
The project title is "Windows Live for Mobile"
When you have been accepted into the beta, go to http://connect.microsoft.com, sign in, and check the "my participations" listing on the right hand side of the website. Select "Windows Live for Mobile", then on the next page, there will be several download links; An Activesync style installer including ppc and smartphone versions, and seperate cab files for each platform. Download, install, and login as normal, no additional hassle.
I would email it to you, or post it here, but as "WizzarD-me" says, it's not legal (Not that it normally bothers me, but I don't want banning )
If you need help with it, add me to ure msn, an i'll try to help
Brins0 <at> gmail <dot> com
just throw the file at ftp *wink wink*
I'd rather just email it to you, won't get anyone in trouble then...
Gimme an email address. or just join the beta, it's free, and they don't spam you, contrary to popular belief...
I've joined the beta and I have to wait for acceptance I assume?
If you were to email me the file, does your passport ID tie you into the beta, as it initially did with Live Messenger beta (windows)?
No, or atleast, i've not noticed it doing this...
You basically have to sit and wait for it to be accepted...

That's besause there's 2 different versions, an insider would know that
So here's what I've found thus far for the PPC version...
It will only pull windows live contacts down to your device. You cannot fully sync your address book on your device with the windows live services. Also, it has an option to sync windows live mail on each activesync (including wireless activesync) which is cool, but still is not proper push mail for hotmail (i mean windows live mail) Anyone notice anything else major?
Best,
MJB
Hi Folks
Well, I did my hard reset yesterday... and it didn't all recover as it should.
It failed to start most of the Orange customisation and I had to manually enable the Extended rom and run those programs there
Also the text messaging has gone a bit wonky! I don't know how to put it but when I try and send a text message it wants to send it via email. I know the SMS is setup, but I can't use it. I suppose this means I don't actually have SMS setup
Any suggestions before I speak to the Orange Support People. I figured you'd be more knowledgable than most of the call centre bred lot
TIA for all the help
Do you really want people to have an Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA) for helping you???
for real now...
Had the same problem when recovering my Tytn with a Sprite Backup file, the SMS-folder had been replaced by a folder called IRM-root or something... problem was solved by using SPB backup... I heard this can be solved by not having Sprite backup restoring the mail boxes but in this way, your messages won't be recovered.

Hmm. I was aiming to get this as a fresh install, so haven't used SPB Backup to recover the files on the drive... If I ran it now to recover it would proabably cause more damage than good because of the different setups. But I shall look into that.

Reference: Monthly Minutes
For those that asked, the lower section that reads "Monthly Minutes" is a program called "Phone Dashboard" by Hudson Mobile Technologies. It's available through PocketGear and the like Has been invaluable and prevented me from stressing and worrying about my usage. As it is I'm waaaay underusing my 3000 landline minutes a month and 550 cross network mobile minutes Thankfully!

I'm thinking there is something different between 2003 of which he's testing on and the 2005 of which I have. I followed it through to delete all the databases, messages, attachments and the like but when I restarted poutlook (Pocket Outlook) the 3 other messages that were in there previously were still there.
This ARCSoft cab file is reportedly "not a valid program"
Spoke to Orange today. After over an hour on hold went through the basic messaging systems (ie, check the voicemail/text messagin numbers they use). I did explain I couldn't even get as far as that section of sending a message but she didn't seem to grasp that. Advised to delete all messages and then switch phone off for 15 minutes.
Done that, but the update that was supposed to come hasn't arrived.
Then again, ActiveSync has now keeled over
I am doing well... I have not sworn at them yet...
You did remember to turn off the advanced USB functionality after the hard reset.... sorry.....I'll shut up now.!!!!
You realise there are, just at the moment, 3 or four folks (and dozens of the unknown out there) waiting to get the answer to this problem i.e reconstruct the messaging setup. There is very probably somebody around here that knows exactly what to do...if they would be good enough to let us know.
Sorry it's not working out - worth another hard reset??
By the way I got the word mobile problem you had. Googled it and dozens of folk had it but the only solution was a hard reset - which I did and it worked. Unfortunately my full sytem backup was done at a time after the word mobile problem started (Unbeknown to me!) and so it was useless to recover the system...damn. Learned the lesson - take periodic backups, keep a few going back in history and also perform a few routine checks before doing the backup. Otherwise I find Spb full system backup superb, keeps all my customisation settings, all installed programmes, tweaks etc., everything in fact.

Indeed. It's not a common thing but when it happens it's pretty annoying. Considering the hassle I had last time to get the operators' customisations to work even after the hard reset I'm not sure if that is the fault or what...
I had to open the ExtRom myself and run the files in there before I even got anything Orange like working...
Although it might be an idea to hard reset it and check the messaging works before going any further, although I seem to recall it looked pretty messed up back then as well!

By the way I got the word mobile problem you had. Googled it and dozens of folk had it but the only solution was a hard reset - which I did and it worked. Unfortunately my full sytem backup was done at a time after the word mobile problem started (Unbeknown to me!) and so it was useless to recover the system...damn. Learned the lesson - take periodic backups, keep a few going back in history and also perform a few routine checks before doing the backup. Otherwise I find Spb full system backup superb, keeps all my customisation settings, all installed programmes, tweaks etc., everything in fact.

I did fix that fault with a Hard Reset
I do have some SBP Backup Files here, so I might see if I can restore that level and go on from there.... Oooh
Thanks for a detailed reply! It's people like you that add a bit more stability into these forums!
Right, I've got some backup files. SO the choices are:
1. Restore & not be able to use WORD as the templates are snafu'd
2. Don't restore and can't send text messages
Well. An update.
This evening I did a reset. SPB Backup had been performing backups every twice a week for most of December
I ran the latest one.
I restored everything but the files.
It did it and not only do I now have text messaging back properly but I also DON'T have the Word bug. This was where templates had been overwritten for creating a Word doc.
I kinda worked out that of the two it was better to have text messaging than word files working I can get around word files. Text messages are, um, different. Don't think I can survive without them
Thank you all for your help. I am now happier with it. Well. I have to reinstall a lot now, but hey ho!
Hey Guys,
I has been a long damn wait, but I finally got the long awaited Skyfire first release. I will share the cab here. However, I do believe that you need an account to use it (kinda like M$ did with their new browser)
However, there are a few things about this new Browser:
1. Since this is the first release, it is relatively slow (not in the loading of the page, but in the scrolling, zooming, and anything using flash (youtube, flash games, etc).
2. I am not sure if it has anything to do with the browser itself, but I installed it, I run the browser for a few minutes with a wifi connection, and the next thing I know, my Blue Angel is about to shut down due to having almost no battery (8% left). Did I mention that I had roughly 75% battery 15 minutes earlier? On an extended Battery?!?!?! (~2400 mAh)
I knew that flash apps have the tendency to run your battery dry but... damn!
Like I said, I posted it because I just felt that it was the right thing to do, to share this with my fellow xda-users
Other than that, this looks rather promising. I will update as I receive any new updates from these people.
Sorry, this is no help for the majority of the users. Will give an error message about System authorization. Thank you for the effort. I personally hope to get my code soon
thanks will try it out
same here with the system authorization..
but i a least saw that it does not take the persumed "20 seconds" to boot the browser up. took me about 2sec. on my tilt

Actually, it did take about 20 sec to boot on my BA. I guess that I oversaw that little detail

I figured that much, but I just thought I would give it a try. Heck someone could probably hack that code. We have good, skilled programmers here ...
Just Kidding!!
Since this doesnt work on all devices (except the choosen beta testers), please change the title
have downloaded the cab, just freezes when trys to connect to the web. hope that either someone cracks the security or they hurry up and release in the uk
system authorization error... please reinstall... can anyone help... eager to use this app...
You know....you could just always sign up on their website and have the program link sent to you!!! Thats what I did and it works!!1
Don't work on my Touch...

It's server based, so don't expect a crack.

Wasn't deepfish too? There was a crack eventually. Browser was **** though
No BetaTester? Don't use it!
Just found this....
I've taken a look at SkyFire & it doesn't look good. It's not possible to force authorization as it depends on a secret PGP keypair shared between the activation server & the device. A meet in the middle attack would be our next best bet but this is not guaranteed as they're using SSL to encrypt the packets flowing between.
Even if the app were cracked to force successful authorization on the client side it would just freeze & wait for a non-existent response from the authorization server. A crucial part of the activation would be that it compares the IP of the client to determine their geographical location & any place outside the US results in an "Invalid authorization" response.
Another possibility is to access the server through a tunnelling exploit but this highly depends on the configuration of the server itself. I doubt that they'd leave this channel open.
Also something interesting to ponder:
Code:
.rdata:0007BA0C aReset DCB "Reset",0 ; DATA XREF: .text ff_28DE0o
.rdata:0007BA12 ALIGN 8
.rdata:0007BA18 aScheduledAHard unicode 0, <Scheduled a hard reset for tstamp=%d>,0
.rdata:0007BA18 ; DATA XREF: .text ff_292BCo
This is a debug message that would not be displayed to the end-user so there exists a condition where it secretly schedules a hard-reset of the client's device. Nice going, SkyFire

You should qoute things like this so people with too much time (like me) will stop *****ing about it
