Hi, I'm looking for more info on how windows mobile functions and how the memory is partitioned between storage and programs. I don't quite understand how a hard reset is equivalent to a reinstall, and how it works.
Is there a site or book with more information on this? Any help or pointer would be greatly appreciated!
TIA!

Hi
Sorry if this post is not in the right place. I am in great need of help. I am a mobile software developer. A client who is into automation contacted me. The client has a control application that he would like to start up whenever the pocket pc starts. This itself is not a problem, since you can simply create a registry key to handle this. The problem comes in that the application must still start even if the battery has been drained completely and the device start like it does after a hard-reset.
From what I have read, it is possible to create a custom ROM image that contains the key described above. The application could be stored in the backup storage area of the ROM.
I have looked at tools to edit the .nbf files that are available with the ROM updates for the pocket pc from the manufacturer (HP iPAQ running WM2003SE), but I cannot find a clear answer, and my knowledge of Unix is bad at best.
Any help and suggestions from anyone on how to edit the .nbf file or any other method to manage this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have had my Iwzard for a week now and have this porblem with applications not installingon my wizard. I tried downloading low CPU Skype for pocket PC the from http://www.skype.com/download/skype/mobile/download.html - my Wizard says its not a valid application.
Downloaded Total Commander from:
http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm ( the ARM/XSCALE/PXA version)
still could not get it to work.
Downloaded pocket doom from some site, did not work either. Always the same message...
And still I was able to download and install the agile messenger program..
It is the skype that has me worried. If you have any suggestions, please let me kow. Thanks!
What ROM do you have installed ?
Where do you install the application - your internal storage or to a storage card ?
I've had this once, and a reset helped me install.
You need to run the install program from a location on your PC through active sync. You can not install it directly from the phone.

Sorry guys, this thread was a complete waste of forum space. Turns out as I was still new to this device and the way it functions, I never realized I need to run my programs on the desktop computer and they would install via ActiveSync on the PPC. Don't get me wrong I did my research but not a word on this issue. Not surprised though...people regard that as common sense )
Thanx for answering anyway, apologies for the dumb question!
Hi,
Is there a programm that can backup the WM side to the HDD in vista?
On my TyYN II, I use Sprite backup before I start experimenting so that I can always revert totaly to the previous state if I screw up.
On the shift we can't acces the SD (yet) so I can't use that...
If there is a way to backup all installed programms and databases and settings etc. I would be more willing to try things on the WM side like trying out new cooked roms, programms and verifying solutions etc...
grtz

p.s. I did do a search, couldn't find anything. If my search wasn't thorouhg enough, please just point me in the right direction. Thanks
Maybe... just a thought.
I've never used a backup program on WM...
However a thought occurred to me...
Why not install the backup program, and establish a USB connection to VISTA.
VISTA can see the device, can the backup then backup to the VISTA side hard drive...?
Just an idea.

hi I have a question. I installed wm 6.1 on my Hermes 100 or Cingular 8525 from this site. I was wondering how can I uninstall it because I do not have windows vista. The message that my phone reads that the beta test is has concluded. I have tried hard and soft reset neither has reset it back to wm 6 or 5. I cannot use any of the phone functions and I really need my phone. Do have or solution or know anyone who can help me.

You need to post at the appropriate thread, which rom did you download?
Hello everyone, I have a problem with my HTC Kaiser II with WM 6.1 features:
- Version ROM : 3.29.408.0 ITA
- Date of ROM : 05/07/08
- Version of RADIO: 1.65.16.25
- Version of product: 25.83.40.02H
When I connect it to the PC does not recognize it and show the following message "USB Device Not Recognized".
Can someone help me.
Thanks
More Information may help get an answer.
What Operating System are you using? What sync software? (Activesync? Windows Mobile Device Center? Other?)
WM6.1 is an older device platform. Have you been able to sync with PC before?
If yes, what has changed? (New PC, new OS?)
If you just got this device and have never synced it before, are you sure the cable and socket are in good working order?
The OS used is Windows XP Professional, use Activesync to connect.
I had problems with my Kayser and I had to do a hard reset on it.
Previously I could connect it to myPC.
Thanks for the reply
I hope you had a recent backup to restore from after the hard reset.
I seem to remember hard reset causing that problem for me under XP. You could try uninstalling ActiveSync and reinstalling it.
Microsoft still has it for download if you need a fresh copy:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=9e641c34-6f7f-404d-a04b-dc09f8141141
Yes, I restored the latest backup.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled ActiveSync but the problem remains.
Thanks again for your time
