Hi all,
I am so frustrated with my k-jam. Once I install anything on it like wisbar2 or button mapper or anything it gets so terribly slow that it's totally unusable. it's rediculous how long i have to wait to be able to make a darn phonecall.
anyone knowing a way around this problem?
thanks
Andrew
there must be something wrong, i have the k-jam & a total of 20 apps are installed on it, without being that slow, on the contrary, i thought it would be slower than this, but it's pretty nice.
do you have the latest rom installed on it?
yep, i have 1.6.7 or something like that running on it.
what apps do you have running on it?
But it depends also on how many appl are running at that moment...

Wisbar is still only a beta release for WM5 devices so that may not help. Are your other installed applications all labelled as WM5 compatible by the publishers?
Do you still have the AntiVirus installed / running?
do you have the anti-virus program running thats in your Extended_Rom?
thank you all for your help.
nooooo, i got rid of the antivirus as soon as i figured out how to.
actually right now i don't have anything special running.
what do you all think about the wisbar advanced desktop? would it slow things down big time?
thanks again
Andrew
here are the installed apps on my kjam.
for the wisbar advance desktop, i beleive its not supported on wm5 yet, i tried to install the version available on their website and the result was a total freeze, i had to uninstall it eventually.
correction...
i found there's is an update for the wisbar advance. i'm gonna try it and see.
guys, i have a wizard (T-Mobile Vario) and i notice it sometimes responds slowly to things if i click on them, but i didnt know it had an antivirus built into it, can you tell me where it is and how to get rid of it?, Thanks
You should be able to remove it via the Remove Programs applet in Settings on your Vario, or via ActiveSync when connected. Think it's published by eTrust..

I don't have anything from eTrust in my "Remove Programs" list... Are you sure?
as i recall i was only able to get rid of the antivirus thing by upgrading the rom. but maybe if you can find which on it is you can just remvoe the file from the extended rom and do a hard reset.
Some of the earlier iMate shipped ROMs didn't show eTrust in the Remove Programs applet so they provided a patch to make it show up. I would have had the same problem, but managed to kill the install when first setting up.

I'm a big fan of SPB's pocket plus, but the 3.0 version has some conflicts with the I-Mate K-Jam. While I can wait for them to work those out in most instances, I REALLY miss the ability to completely close tasks via the "X" in the upper right corner of the screen.
Has anyone found a compatible program that allows users to COMPLETELY close programs using the "X" button?
Thanks for any advice!
(As an aside, you'd think that after 5 versions and all the problems with programs/memory in WM2003PE, Microsoft would have included this feature in the OS.... but.... nooooo....)
wisbar advance 2
works for me.
NOT REALLY
IT WORKED FINE FOR ME TOO BUT.............
THE NAJOR PROBLEM THE WHOLE DEVICE HANGS UP AFTER A SOFT RESET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
every time i soft reset the device with spb3 installed the device just hangs up and the only way to get it working was a hard reset.
I do not have this problem when spb3 is not installed
anyone else had this problem????? any ideas??
i used magib button...

When you install SPB + 3.0 go to settings for SPB and uncheck "Safe Mode on Soft Reset" This is what causes it to hang. When you uncheck that everything runs fine
I have SPB + on my K-Jam
Me 2
yes but my k-jam don´t lets to install pocket plus ?¿?
regards?¿?
I installed Magic Button - worked fine when I actually tap the "X" icon. For some reason, though, it doesn't seem to work when using a hardware button assigned to OK / Close.
Any ideas?

Well, forgetting the broken English, I am having this same problem, too -- the CAB file only installs 10-15%, then just craps out, and the Windows "unsuccessful install" message pops up.
Any thoughts? Have I corrupted some registry entry or something, that after the first bad one, does not allow the Pocket Plus CAB to properly install?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
bit of an extreme suggestion, do a hard reset and re-install from scratch,
sorry all i can suggest. :?
i do but, it´s imposible
has anybody come across a one button close all application for WM5.0? Spb 3.0.1 is too slow on WM5 and Wisbar Advance 2.4.....is also too much for what is needed. Something like Magicbutton but written for WM5.0 would br nice, nothing that requires much memory, but something that enables the closing of running apps without having to go into start/settings/system/memory...etc.
Wouldn't it be nice if Microsoft had just written in that piece of code, as they are well aware that since PPC2000, that every application opened, remains so unless you manually close it down in memory (therefore hogging memory resources!) :evil:
Well if anyone knows of a WM specific solution, please do share.

I added couple files which they are usefull for you and they include the closeall app.
Install the cab files you'll see the close all, Reset and Running programs, which they can be clicked from the systray directly, after the installation they require a soft reset or else you go to Start>Programs>System open TrayLaunch and press Enable
GSPocketMagic++ is the most stable program I've tried. You need to put some amended bitmaps in to get it to integrate with WM5 but it works well...

Thanks guys. I'll try them both and let you know how I get on.
Damn!! My Jasjar is a Rocket!!

sub69: I don't know what kind of coding they used in that software you recommended, but it has boosted refresh rates and performance in general by at least 30%!! I know this sounds crazy but it's true! My opinion has completely changed about the speed of the Jasjar. It seriously Rocks! I couldn't care less if it doesn't stay this way, because it shows me conclusively, that future ROMs' will probably address the issues I have had thus far.
I needed this. Thanks a bunch sub69; best link I've had with regards to Universal software.
OK 1 gripe only: I've lost my two soft buttons on the bottom bar (any ideas?). It comes back and stays operational after a soft reset, but as soon as I use the 'close all' option of the program, I loose the soft keys! Damn..there's always a hitch!
Another positive though, the speed boost remains even after I have exited the program and revert to standard WM5.0 launcher!
P.S. I had at least 12 programs running simultaneously with no slow downs at all and 15 megs of Memory still available (tried to run out of memory, But couldn't). Very pleased at the moment, this is what I was expecting from the HTC Universal!! I'll test extensively before I comment further.
Thanks again sub69, u da Man!!
Mental...I didn't realise it was that good!?!
Not sure about the soft buttons, although come to think of it I have noticed they've disappeared a couple of times. Must've been when I hit "Close All" too?
Glad I could help, anyway. Do let us know how things go...

Still cannot believe it!! It's still going strong. Sussed the soft button thingy:Under start (GSPocket)/options/settings...uncheck the 2 tabs for'use exten task close' & 'Use Today skin'. That's it. It runs absolutely perfectly for me & with no need for amended bitmaps too! It fits right in wih my red or blue border themes (I only use my own jpegs now instead of themes - in the hope that I get no performance issues.....so far so good). Under menu settind tab I only select close all & setting (which gives me quick access to all settings in WM5.0..personal & system) and under 'click' tab I leave it as default 'Menu'. I'm so impressed with this software, I didn't think non-specific WM5 software coul be this good!
That site you recommended is also tops!
This software is so good that I must put up a new thread to inform all of your wonder find. I just hope all who try it get the same experience I'm getting. Thanks again sub69....I don't even feel the need for the next ROM update/grade...though I won't be turning it away.
Hmmm, not sure why you're that stunned. I'm finding it just fine - but certainly no faster than my JJ runs under PocketPlus 3.01, and the non-VGA graphics are a real step backwards. Anyone know how to solve this?
You mention a speed improvement; can you clarify: Before this, how long did it take to rotate the screen, and how long does it take now?
MagicButton (mbutton) works with batterymeter
Hi All,
I installed MagicButton (freeware) om my K-Jam. It works so far!
Cheers,

pocketpcfreewares.com is great! They do an RSSfeed showing all new and updated software, too, so its a permanent fixture as a "Live Bookmark" on my Firefox bookmarks toolbar.

That's the file you need to download for the Jasjar, then if you have an SD card reader, you can transfer it directly to it and install the .cab file by selecting it! If you don't have a card reader, let's hope you have a bluetooth dongle, as it's a small file then you can bluetooth it over. However if you have no problems with your activesync connection, just use that to dump the .cab file on your storage card somewhere or into 'My Documents' on the jasjar.
It's not complicated.

Yep, using it myself now - but no speed change over PocketPlus (even after hard reset to remove PP). Using it cos I like menu and PP didn;t offer all that much more that other apps don;t give me.
I put smartskey and omap onto my mda...it wasn't working properly so I uninstalled it....
there are no visible signs of the programs on my device but everytime my device wakes up or powers on i get this:
Notification Error
Cannot execute "windows/start/menu/newfoldr/smarskey.exe"
then behind it i get
Notification Error
Cannot execute "smartskey/snartskey.exe"
I just want this to be off of my device since it has been so much trouble. Can someone please help me figure out how to get rid of this without having to do a hard reset?
\windows\startup
remove it from there...
and also remove the smartskey folder where you installed it from...
i did that...nm i ended up doing a hard reset. I deleted the program and folder...there were no visible traces...idk what happened
I had this problem too. Extremely frustrating especially since I had removed all traces (so I thought) of smartskey.
Turns out, Smartskey leaves behind a notification message that gets queued up even if you remove the program and it's shortcut from the startup menu. You need a program like MemMaid to clear the notification message.
Annoying Smartskey issue, PLEASE help

I also have this problem on a Wizard and a Prophet. Even though you remove 'all traces' of Smartskey it keeps coming up wuth the queued notification message. Does anyone have a fix for this?
I tried using MemMaid demo about a week ago but it wouldn't install on the Wizard. I might try it on the Prophet. Can anyone confirm that if I buy the full MemMaid software it will remove this annoying issue i.e. does it run & install on WM5 XDA's?

MemMaid is WM5 compatible. I use it on my Wizard without problem.

Re uninstalling smartskey - I thought there was a specific way to uninstall it mentioned in the smartskey thread? Does this not work?

Just tried MemMaid (demo) on the Prophet. It cleared the problem straight away. Went back to the Wizard and MemMaid also worked on that, both machines now clean of the Smartskey notification message. Now that I know how to remove the message I might play around with Smartskey some more. The Smartskey concept is quite good but it seems to interface badly with Omapclock (might just be Microsoft's buggy notification software).
MemMaid also looks a good utility for $15. I think originally I might have been trying to run the MemMaid (installation) exe from the Wizard rather than installing over ActiveSync.
hi, i use smartskey and omap together and they both work beautifully with each other, my device is quicker thanks to omap clock and the wizard is excellent as a one handed device thanks to the shortcuts it creates just like the prophet device where it creates ur soft keys to be the start button and OK button as well.....its like having 2 extra keys just like the prophet.......you can also use the software Check Notifications 1.9 by ScaryBearSoftware to get rid of the smartskey.exe from the notifications queue......
MemMaid v. Smartskey
I installed Smartskey, and it was unhappy. Then the bloody "Notification Error..." started popping up consistantly.
Reinstalled Smartskey, no help.
Uninstalled, No Help.
Looked it up here, Installed MemMaid
Problem Solved.
BTW- Reinstalled Smartskey and OmapClock and they work wonderfully. My initial eror was installing to the SD Card and not main memory.
Thanks for the fix.
Hi everybody !
I'm new and i have problem ....
I cannot uninstall nothing ot my Qtek 9100 ... When i try to uninstall message appears - ".... was not completely removed. Do you want to remove it from the list of installed programs?"
How can i repait uninstalling or is there a program that can uninstall software on my Qtek..
Thanks at advance !
Common problem...
This is a known problem on WM5. I haven't been able to uninstall anything from my wizard since I got it.
I just use spb backup to back it up each time and if I don't like the app then do a restore. Makes the application evaluation process pretty serial though.
wish i could be of more help...

Is there an another way to uninstall some applications?
Well, here's my approach.
#1. I do the Windows uninstall. When it asks, remove it from the list.
#2. I do a search using Total Commander or Resco File Explorer for files/folders that belong to the program and delete them. (This can be a little tricky, since they may use the company name, like Resco, or the program name, or some part of the program name, or an abbreviation of the program name.)
#3. If there are any additional problems, I search the Registry as in #2. This is mainly if there is something wierd like I get an error message related to the program, for example at startup. Or if I am trying to reinstall and it won't let me.
After this has happened quite a few times (say every month or so, you might want to do a hard reset and just reinstall the programs you want. That will clear out the mess.
Yeah I've been having problems uninstalling on my atom!!!
There should be a workaround to this.
HELP!
already a solutions to uninstall issue?
Is there already a workaround for this problem? Because I like to test out different software and uninstalling it is a lot of work this way
Thanks
I have the Black 2.0 an Radio 1.40 and Oli 1.40, and I installed "MenMaid" and the SPV M3100 boots very slowly 8-10 minutes, and then it works the same, 2 days ago I had the same problem with MENMAID, and uninstalled and made several soft reset and extract the battery at the end it works well like allways, but now I made the same but it very slowly.
Please Could you tell me any advise?
Thanks.
what does this program do? have you tried it on any other ROMS?
I presume you mean Memmaid? I don't use it but it cleans out memory, notifications etc etc. I'm just wondering if it has a setting to auto clear memory or do some sort of clean up on bootup. If it does, perhaps you need to uncheck that setting?? (Only guessing!)

Sorry the program name is Memmaid, like say Mikechannon. Is allow to clear the memory, registry etc. is like Sktools but I thing less powerful.
I didn´t try with other roms, because I have few time, and I haven´t got any time to recharge and configure all software, althougt at the end I will have to do.

Yes, you at right, is Memmaid. Is posible that has this funcion (cleun up on bootup), but I uninstalled, This haven´t got to happen. No?
-What can I do?
-Can I boot in Secure boot, will do anything? I try it, but say that push the action key (Which is the action key?).
-What will be the best way to change the Rom?
Very tranks for your attention.
Strange I'ved used Memmaid with most WM6 roms without problems.
You've uninstalled and the issue persists? And you are sure it's Memmaid and not anything else? What version of Memmaid are you using?
I guess you could reinstall the newest version (or another suitable program) and check the bootup apps/services and remove some them to see if that helps. While running what services/prog are running??
If not then a HR and see if the issue is really related to Memmaid.

Thanks BorisTheSpider, the version is 1.61., And now it is lower, the last action was to made a Backup with SKTools, but when boot, at the end appear the main windows, but no respons (or very slow).
Now I disconnect the battery, and I am going to remove apps/services
in bootup, but I don´t know each programs made. If I can I will show the apps/services in bootup for help somebody.

Thanks for your answering BorisTheSpider. At the end, I made a HR, but I belive to know which is the problem.
I can see that I have 1500 Mbytes used in my SD_Card, but really only had 1100 Mbytes in files. I formatted the SD_Card, but the S.O. say that is used 975 Mbytes and others 900 Mbytes free, I couldn´t format the SD, At the end I could formats the SD with one utility "Format Memorys".
I thought that my real problems could be the SD. I read in this forum that is very common this problem, if used the on/off button to switch off the device and if in bootup is the sddaemon.lnk.
Thanks for your interesting.
I am going to send you a PM.
slow
hey same problem here im using prophet WM5 but the boot time is too long. guess it's because of the slow processor. but it's obviously slower than i first use it. now that i've installed so many things...
but 1 thing is whenever i open the windows folder, it takes like 10 mins to open the folder. is there any rubbish inside any1 removed safely and helps?
any1 has this file called 'cemail' on mydevice ? it's 1.87mb and i dont know what is it's function and it's always there.... too space consuming
Yes, opening the Windows folder is slow - this is due to all the files which are to be displayed.
