As subject suggests, it hangs there with the hourglass, having completed about 1 bar. Device still working in the background, but Pocket Mechanic definately isn't (15+ mins like this now!)
What am I doing wrong?
It works perfectly for everyone else, which means that it must have found a bad entry on your machine which it cannot interpret, or cannot read due to a database corruption. This feels awfully serious and worthy of a hard reset (I imagine you've done a soft reset). What happens when u set a new alarm - does it work. If so, then at least your JJ is managing to enter a new entry into the queue, and read it out later. I trust you're using a recent version of pocket mechanic?
I did just manage to set an alarm (and it went off) but also think my alarm this morning didn't go off
I've tried a soft reset, and thought I was running the last version of Pocket Mechanic (I even registered it when I bought it, so its not even the trial version)
Same thing happens on my O2 Exec. The Notification hangs in Pocket Mechanic v1.58. I downloaded Memmaid which also has a notfications manager but this failed too.
However, I found that the ScaryBear CheckNotifications does work and allows me to delete duplicates (and the rcii_hlp popup that I kept getting). Even after clearing the duplicates and the erroneous entries, Pocket Mechanic continues to hang when I rund the Notifcations.
So give CheckNotifications a go - its free

I have the very same problem here
I'm using a JasJar with the latest ROM and the latest version of PocketMechanic. I have the same problem.
Whats worse is I found that the scarybear software also hung when trying to delete some duplicate entries all in one go - if I do it individually it works then.
I am using Pocket Mechanic Version 1.59 and MemMaid Version 1.5
I have no problems with mine. Works like a charm. I saw on Pocketgear, there was another version of Pocket Mechanic Version 1.60, but I chose Version 1.59 because it has the developers name Anton Tomov, unlike Version 1.60 which goes under a different programer: Omega One Software LLC.
Here are the links:
Version 1.59 http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=12178
Version 1.60 http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=12677
The pictures look the same, but their prices are different making me question the latest one. Can anyone offer any explanation?
Anyone try this yet?

I'm going to try it this weekend but wanted to post it in case anyone needed something like this.
Yes, I've used it for a few years. It works fine on WM2003SE, but starts to have major issues with WM5 and WM6. Although it runs on 2003SE, it still likes to crash instead of close normally. Seeing as it's been a beta program for 3 years, I'd imagine it hasn't been updated or bug fixed in those years.
It really need to be updated to work with WM5/6 and to get rid of its lingering bugs.

I've noticed the bugs. I'm looking for alternate software that will do this. Meanwhile I'm also testing out StreetHawk.
Looking back thru google, refferences to "Streethawk" are all 3-4 years old.
Most of all the links I've found point back to the WifiWoWum website.
Is streethawk a seperate program, or did it mature into what is now Wififofum? If not can you post a download link.
UPDATE: I found a download link for Streethawk, its a .01 ver from 2004, so it does look like it matured into WiFiFoFum
which has a current ver. 2.2.11 Released 1st June 2007. This looks like a better app to use.

WiFiFoFum is much better for sure. I'm still looking for something like Hitchhiker...something that will just automatically connect to open hotspots without bothering me. So if I'm driving, it's just connecting to random open hotspots with the best signal as they become available. I also use WiFiFoFum

I recently upgraded from Polaris to Topaz couple of days ago and i still have the copilot live 7 disk, when i tried to install it to my Topaz is says"you are not authorize to install this program", the package when i bought it from Jarir Bookstore includes a 15 day trial only and since i have the installation disk from my polaris why not used it rather than buying another one which is logical since both are in WM6.1 platform, i dont want to spend another $175 for Middle East Map since i already have one from my polaris.....any ideas or work around will be much appreciated...
you will need to deactivate the old installed version before you can activate copilot on a new device alk support can help with this. I rang support and they sent me a special installer for the Diamond 2 as my version was for screens smaller than WVGA
Interesting.
I just purchased Copilot Live 7 to load on my TD2.
I get the same "not athorised" message as above, however I don't have an existing version installed or activated anywhere to delete/deactivate first.
Any suggestions on how to get past this? I don't even get to the point of being asked for my registration code.........
Maybe someone has already posted this, but the T-Mobile MDA Compact V update to Windows Mobile 6.5 is available on the UK website:
http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/help-and-support/index?page=home&cat=SOFTWAREDOWNLOADS&tab=1
Let me know how you get on, and then I may try it myself!
Thanks for the update! Been checking almost every day, but forgot today...
I sent mine off for repairs a few weeks back and it came back with 6.5 on it. Dumped the ROM and posted it on here in the Topaz ROMS section.
http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581070
BTW it's way better than the 6.1 stock rom but not as good IMO as the cooked rom I'm using (Dutty's HG1)http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=579076
Yes it pretty much still sucks. Better Home Screen please T-Mobile? Maybe throw some Sense UI type widgets in there??
A list of pros and cons (specific to this phone) would be useful. I read of one con: the standard WiFi connection has gone. Has anyone found improvements in Bluetooth connectivity/functionality?
Does anyone know if it has CoPilot 7 preinstalled (like the T-mobile 6.1 ROM)?
My wife had a real problem getting CoPilot working when she got the Compact V. The 18 month freebie ran out after 1 month and, in the end, T-mobile just sent her an unlimited license key.
Because she had this much hassle to get CP7 working, I've not wanted to put another ROM on for her, which would mean she loses it. [I'm not sure whether everything she'll need to reinstall CP7 is on the storage card (which she can then use her license key with) or whether there are key files that are only present in the T-mo ROM.]
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks Mike. Been checking every flippin day for this.

If you use Firefox, install the 'Update Scanner' add-on. This monitors web pages for changes. It is also good for snapping up returned theatre tickets!

I've just rung 150 with the same question and had no sensible reply back [it did include the usual 'nothing to do with us' comment, even though T-Mob are who 'sold' us all Co-Pilot so it is very much to do with them]. I have been promised a call back in 20 minutes...

I have an idea that CoPilot is associated with the SDcard. I upgraded my SD-card from the standard 2GB to 8GB. I copied CoPilot across, but it would not work. I had to first unregister it from the old SDcard and reregister on the new SDcard.

I did just copy the files over to a 16gb card and it worked. This was before I had the correct license installed. But then that is just a text file isn't it, so can be readily copied around between cards. The programme itself was pre-installed on the handset. What we were not given was a retail sd card version of the programme - the card didn't have the 2577 folder that a retail version would have included, so we are not in a position to reinstall.
Yes this does have CoPilot 7 preinstalled on it. The main program is built into the ROM. You will also need to keep the SD Card files as they are still necessary.
*BEFORE* you upgrade, you first have to deactivate your CoPilot key in the CoPilot 7 Licensing screen. This will give you a deactivation code.
You then go to the ALK deactivation website on your computer (just do a search) and enter the product key and new code.
Then you can flash the 6.5 ROM and reactivate your CoPilot 18-month license.
Forget to do this and you'll have to deal with ALK directly and get them to deactivate it after the fact.
Thanks very much for confirming this. Now of course my wife is asking what else is actually better about the 6.5 ROM. Although I jumped at the chance to upgrade my TP2 when the new ROM came out, I must admit I'm struggling a bit to tell her what the killer features of the new ROM may be!
- Marketplace, well that's available in 6.1 now anyway.
- Slightly more touch friendly, but nothing too groundbreaking.
- Weather wallpaper - not sure if this is even in the T-Mobile ROM as they managed to mangle the TouchFlo clock in the stock 6.1 ROM.
- ???
Anyone have any thoughts on what might persuade my "if it ain't broke, don't fiddle with it" wife to upgrade?

FWIW - I seem to recall that after a hard reset, the first boot seemed to take a long time and I got the impression this was because CoPilot was installing itself. I also found a Copilot*.cab file (8Mb or so in size) in the \Windows directory, so I wonder whether this is basically the same as would be present in the 2577 folder.
Of course, I haven't actually tried using this to install on a clean ROM...
Agree that one does, of course, need the SD card as this has all the map data, etc.
Just wanted to say that I was unable to deactivate my copy of CoPilot 7 Live on my Compact V, the option just wasn't there on the licensing page. I went ahead and upgraded my rom anyway and am now unable to use CoPilot, so for anyone else wanting to upgrade, if you can't deactivate then CoPilot will not work when you upgrade.
Hopefully ALK will sort this for me.
I had this problem after resetting my Compact V (6.1, not tried 6.5 yet). I still had the original product key/licence code in my IE url history. After relaunching this page I selected the 'free trial' option and it worked!
I have upgraded the OS, but the previous product key that gave me full European cover didn't work. I reinstalled Copilot using the cab file - as metioned above - and that allowed me to start the registration process again, as when I first got the phone. This opened up Internet Explorer, and offered a 18-month evaluation for £0 but at the end of the process it is only UK/IE
Anyone got it back up to full EU?
ps I too didn't have any deactivate options originally, though I do now...
New query - On the web I see lots of screen grabs and videos of Diamond 2s with 6.5 and home screens featuring animated weather, more colourful icons along the scroll bar, etc. Have T-Mobile provided an older version of HTC Sense in this ROM [2.1 instead of 2.5]?
Yes it is older. Not sure which Sense UI is used, I got rid of T-Mobile 6.5 once I installed it (hated it personally) and went the Cooked way....
If I get a new HD2 and install the Office 2010 beta, what happens to the version that is installed on the phone by default?
I assume also that the beta expires (I seem to remember hearing that it will expire in May) so what happens then? The beta users are left with nothing, or will Microsoft have the GM version released by then (not holding my breath given their track-record on released dates.)
Thanks.
You could install the old version back. If you search, you will find the cab file. And you can install it on the storage card.
If you uninstall the 2010 Beta, the normal office will be back!
Anyone know where I can get the cab for office 2010 mobile?

You can download it from the Windows Marketplace.
When does it expire?

Seen it there buy it will only install to main memory, i want to put it on memory card. No longer available direct from Microsoft.
Is there a way to install the supplied rom version of office to the storage card? Im guessing this would free up a decent amount of space?
G-sensor
Does this version support G-sensor or do i have to create/edit some regkeys?
G-sensor is part of your hardware......and some programs use it indeed.....but Office 2010 don't think so......
