I love windows Live search, I can't believe somethings better, guess I'll have to download google and give it a spin

cab downloads, but install is unsuccessful no matter if its from the storage card or device

It seems to install and work ok for me from my storage card. FWIW I'm running ROM 1.35.255.2.

I liked Windows Live Search a lot, but mainly because it just plain worked. The java midlet version of GMM was instable if it would even work at all. Google just works better. It also allows you to look up contacts and use them in your searches. Windows Live Search doesn't have that option. I'm sure future versions of Windows Live Search will up the ante and Google will, in turn, raise the bar even higher. Yay for competition.
FYI, I'm also running the SA 1.35 ROM and it installed without any issues. I just went to www.google.com/gmm and opened/ran the installer from there.

Same rom, but no success, "cab installation unsuccessfull" message, even tryng to close ALL active processes

archive corrupted!

Install and all worked fine for me this morning. Maybe save it somewhere first... then try the install? (That's the method that worked for me.)

worked for me too

what about google talk for mobile ???

download the cab on ur PC, active sync and move it to your phone. Their OTA download is messed up.
I tried it a couple times and noticed the file sizes were different. the cab file should be approx 607k. I kept getting 300k when I was getting it over the air directly to my phone.
I went to www.google.com/gmm on my pc, got the wm5 version cab, put it on my phone and installed from my phone just fine.

It doesn't have hybrid map view (streets on the aerial pictures) which Live search has. Actually, live search feels a bit better to me still.

works fine copying the cab over for me on the Vario II, pretty neat.

sure it does, just hit Menu, Change View.
I cant get my Bluetooth GPS to work. After i hit track with GPS, it errors out and brings up some help file and talks about editing settings in the control panel if you have a BT gps, but i have no idea what its talking about.

what the heck. There's no detail at all for Japan, although google maps has the detail and so does the midlet version.
The midlet, however, can't do searches in Japanese which is why I was glad to try out this new thing.

wow, what a great app. i already used the java midlet before but that didn't work so good. this one does! even the satelite view is quite quick via umts!
the install was ok in one try. i used iexplorer on my tytn and went to the link www.google.com/gmm there i installed the cab file.

I searched here and haven't seen this posted ...
This, next to MS Voice, has got to be the greatest app I've seen for the Pocket PC. This, in addition to the SearchToday cab, are so very cewl on my device.
If this is ancient history, sorry!

Generic, then Advanced MIDP2. Not sure if that's correct but it was the best I saw and it seems to work for me.
Thanks. Got it.
has anyone figured out how to make it display satellite images?
wish there was an option for it to display all directions to where yer going at once, instead of having to cycle through 1 direction at a time.
I'm having trouble using Cingular GPRS to get past Generic, and Opera Mini says the type of file that I try to download is unsupported. Can someone upload the file for me?
I used this app when I had my audiovox 5600 smartphone and liked it. Now that I'm using the Wizard it seems that Microsofts Virtual Earth can be used (it looked like it was free as well). Anyone used both and can comment on differences between the two?

I also recommend MobileGMaps - it contains support to four different mapping services and also runs just great.
Also see my article on using Midlets on the Pocket PC at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=644&more=1

I give up..........

Well, it looks like I will be disposing of my O2 Mini S because try as I might, I can't get TomTom to work with it.
I've tried a myriad of things from these forums to get it working, but nothing seems to do the trick. I can't even get the software to install properly, let alone run! (And yes, I've dropped the .CAB files on the SD card - three run properly, the 4th tells me it hasn't installed correctly.
I played with the registry - which scares the bejesus out of me to be honest!
I need a PDA that does everything - which to be honest, I thought the Mini S was.
So, I give up. I think I'll go back to my Dell Axim X5!
I think I'll sit in the corner and sulk now!
See ya!
Did you start this thread just to piss and moan, or were you going to tell us what the problem is installing TomTom so we might help? If the former, don't let the door hit you on the arse on the way out.

As far as I know, no amount of sulking or installing will make tomtom work straight from the dvd. For me, it always crashed on my windows pc, when I launched the program installer (not for the maps, but for the actual tomtom software).
What I HAD to do was download a patched 5.21 from their website. That worked like a charm. I installed tomtom to the main memory and the maps to the storage card. After which there was a voice missing and I had to install any voice with the installer program before being able to complete the tomtom setup wizard on my wizard (heh).
Hope you can make it work. I am running the KJAM rom with push email and other neat stuff. Had to "hack" (unlock) my Finnish Qtec 9100 to make it work.

Has anyone tried out Google Maps Mobile on Universal?

Google released a j2me version of its map service which is available at http://www.google.com/gmm
In order to download the j2me application you must use a mobile device to visit the above link. Choose the high-end version.
I tried this on my Universal and it works fine! (You should use the application as if you were using a smartphone)
Although it does not support GPS at the moment, I am more than satisfied with this initial release of google maps service with a fullscreen VGA display. It's also free from money and storage card space.
There is currently a small issue that the menu sometimes doesn't show up after I tap "zoom -". I'm not sure if this is the case for all universals or not.
It is thereby worth trying this and expecting a Pocket PC version of google maps, which should definitely support screen tapping and dragging.
Having trouble with the Midlet mgr
I have tried and tried to get the google maps to my Universal; No luck what so ever; Its trying to do something but the Midlet Mgr comes up and does nothing ! Is there any reason in particular this happens ??
There was a thread for google maps somewhere in the forums, to make it work you need a IBM java midlet manager which work with google maps java app. It does not worked in my Blueangel. Soon i will get Universal and post the results
I just tried to day (18 may) on my brand new tmob mda pro, and it works... kinda. It's painfully slow and unresponsive. After the initial excitement of seeing the familiar google map world map, my enthusiasm quickly died down when the midlet starting prompting for network use authorization one after th e other. After zooming in around a few times, it completely froze.
Actually...
... I'd like to update my post above. The network I was on was using some firewall/censorship tools. When I tried it again today on my wifi connection, it worked flawlessly, apart from the annoying repetitive message asking for the right to connect. Impressive stuff to show your friends, especially thanks to the VGA screen.
Its not supporting the touch screen right?
I must say I have some issue with it, being pretty sluggish and crashing a lot, plus I cant type adresses. Pretty awful all in all. Do I need another Java VM?
Anyway, it would be cool if it worked, because Pocket streets actually sucks a lot regarding the map layout. Anyone got mor tips for such apps?

The java applet does rely highly on the quality of connection though, otherwise it is easy to get stuck on the screen. Likewise, some functions do not seem to work properly since it isn't a stable version. Based on Java, it is also reasonbly slow.
This should originally be designed for a phone and I guess there would probably be a PPC version which supports most of the WM + touchscreen features.
It can't be said as a fantastic tomtom replacement yet but I can foresee that in some near future.
well, If only opera allowed the user-agent string to be modified, we could actually just browse maps.google.com and be done with it. But noooooooo.... for some reason the user-agent string can't be changed. Arrrrg.

actually I can visit maps.google.com normally with PIE and get a simplified version of map service which provides the map as plain graphic files (like jpg or gif). The graphic map cannot of course be dragged or tapped, and is in broken colours.
It won't be a good way of google to improve maps.google.com since this calls for too many modifications in PIE and hence can't be eligible. Comparing with the slow pace of MS I would rather believe google will be a bit faster to produce a reader to their own maps.
Well, Google Maps Mobile works on my T-Mobile MDA Pro, but just barely...
For every single keystroke, it asks me:
"Google Maps" wishes to access the network, which might use call time. This MIDlet suite is not from a trusted source.
Allow this time?
[ No ] [ Yes ]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I can't find a way to permanently allow it to access the network. In the midlet's security settings, I can only choose between "No" or "Oneshot", for network access.
Anyone know how to permanently allow this? Or how to make a MIDlet "trusted"?
I'm running on the built-in MIDlet manager (intent Java MIDlet Manager, Runtime JTWI 1.0: v10.1.7.666 (Build 20051117)).
Thanks,
- Michael
Google Maps was working fine on my HTC Wizard before I upgraded to a newer ROM, now it's also saying the same thing:
"Google Maps" wishes to access the network, whic might use call time. This MIDlet suite is not from a trusted source. Allow this time?
I remember when I tried it previously it only asked this once, not it's asking so often it's impossible to use google maps properly.
If anyone has an idea please post!

Making the Advantage really work..

Hi everyone,
Well, I finally made the plunge and am loving my HTC Advantage. Truly delightful. I'm slowly making progress but there but I have a few issues that perhaps someone can help me with.
--Note: I am on TMo USA and migrating from a MDA (Wizard), just couldn't find any love for the "Wing".
--Also note that I have thoroughly read this forum and tried everything I can find. Also lots of googling.
1. I am running MrVRealVGA as widely recommended. This is great, and I've got lots of things working. EXCEPT:
a. I've tried the suggested skins for the dialpad, but none are at all functional with RealVGA. Any suggestions?
b. Likewise, hard to find a good Wisbar skin. I have one that "mostly" works (SWDeluxe) but the folder icons are way big, as are the icons on the task menu.
c. The Comm Manager is also an issue, but I use PhoneAlarm which can mostly handle these chores. I'm using the SWDeluxe theme which looks pretty good.
2. Buttons. I would really like to add additional assignments to the OK and Start buttons since they are so handy. Neither AEBPlus or DoubleLauncher seem to be able to work with those. Any suggestions?
3. I am having the same problems with GPS as others report. Will try iGuidance tomorrow, see if I can get any love. No luck at all with Google Maps. Will report back...
4. Also no luck with TV Out using the 4-in-1 cable; but I haven't really spent enough time mucking around.
Otherwise, the transition has really been easy. The keyboard is not as bad as some suggest, although backlighting would be a plus. Browsing the internet is great and VueFlo is "interesting." Solid signal reception (GPRS and WiFi) compared to the Wizard, and it seems reasonably responsive, even with VGA. And that huge, bright screen is great!!!
After lurking on this forum for a few weeks, I'm glad to now be a full-fledged member!
OK, I got the answer to question #1a, from another thread. VijayBigPhone does the job! Nice solution from one of my heroes!
Welcome to the boards, I would suggest for number 4 you just need to play around with it a little more.
I just tried mine then and love it, quickly connected it to the LCDTV (VGA input) then settings, TVOUT > On > VGA output > OK > LCDTV in PC Mode > Voila....beyond presentations I didnt think it would be a worthwhile feature, but I might I actually read ebooks now that I can see them in full glory of 5" VGA (which is nice) or 32" LCDTV.

I'm happy to report success with iGuidance. It would not autodetect GPS, but I manually selected Port 5 and it did work. Acquisition is not as quick as I was used to with my external hockey puck. Seems to be a cold boot each time. On the other hand... no time for trying to find where I put my hockey puck the last time, no time for setup, charger, etc., and no messing around with BT connections, so this will definitely work!
Still no luck with Google Maps.

I tried to install iGuidance 3.0.1 on my Advantage yesterday. I tried installing to both the Microdrive and main memory. The program seemed to install normally, but once installed would not run.
What version of iguidance are you using on your Advantage? Where do you have it installed?
TIA (from a Newbie)

I will answer my own question (in case anyone else has the same problem.)
I received an email back from iNav Tech Support saying:
Please make sure you have installed the appropriate map file on a SD card. W/o a working map, iguidance program can't be launched.
Also, there may be the same gprs conflict between iguidance and your new ppc phone. To determine if this is the case, try turning off the gprs/evdo wireless data connection on your new ppc phone first and then launch iguidance again. If it launches fine, then you may turn your gprs/evdo connection back on.

I had already installed iNav maps on my SD card.
I installed the iGuidance program on the SD card. It wouldn't run. So, I set my Advantage to Flight Mode, and tried again. Sure enough, iGuidance started right up. I turned Flight Mode off, and iGuidance ran normally. Now, iguidance will start up without having to shut down the wireless connections.
I still would be interested in feedback from anyone who has upgraded to version 4 of iGuidance. Is the upgrade worth the expense? Have you noted any significant changes in the program?
Re: Iguidance - another option
I have 'Destinator' installed and running with no problems on my X7501. I note that IGuidance may no longer be selling maps for Europe although this may only be in the USA. I used Destinator in the UK on my Dell Axim this summer and in the USA earlier this month on my Advantage.

For those of you using iNav...the shortcut for iNav points to a "starter application" that detects the resolution, chooses the VGA or QVGA version to run, and deletes the other version. This can cause problems if you use RealVGA and later change the system resolution, as the appropriate executable has been deleted. The solution is to use a File Manager and change the attributes to "Read Only" for the VGA and QVGA iNav applications.
Also, if you use 128dpi and iNav...the starter will open the VGA version, but the QVGA menus work better in 128dpi. For this resolution I created a shortcut that directly points to the QVGA version.
HTH.

Open Google Maps...Menu--Options--Track Location Settings. Select Set by Windows if you are using the WinMo External GPS applet. Select Set Manually and set your com port/baud rate (Com 5/9600 for x7501) if you are not allowing WinMo to control the GPS. I have Google Maps installed to Main Memory.
That having all been said, I find that Windows Live just plain works better, and allows me to set the map cache to the SD card.
Enjoy.

I have had no issues with Google Maps other than the location off, but until I discovered Com 5 using the HTC GPS Tool, I couldn't get any of my other applications to use GPS. Having discovered Com 5, GPS is working just fine. Though I would like to figure out how to GPS stamp my photos - I don't have a P10 in my registry for the camera.
Google maps has been working for ages.
You can easily enable the GPS photo by using schaps advanced configuration tool version 2.
If you use michys roms you can install this over Schap advanced config3.
Hope this helps

Just Bought an HD2 WICH Apps are really needed for daily use??

As you see the title! Please put some apps for HD2!
Thanks a LOT
Appreciate it!!
Wifi remote access for file transfers (if you have wifi in the house) because it's faster than a usb cable.
The newest version of the facebook app from MS marketplace
Pimbackup
dutty's task manager
I have more but they aren't for day to day use (except for maybe coreplayer but that's not free). Also search for tips and tweaks and have a read.
+1 Wifi Remote Access
G-Remote ($9) if you watch TV/video through your PC and want an ace remote control
TCMPMP Video Player (free) - so you can just drop videos straight on to your phone (like Divx and Xvid) and play them straight off (or CorePlayer but it's $30)
AlReader2 - The BEST ebook-reader bar none
Google Maps (obviously)
TomTom or iGo (both paid) are both great GPS navigators
FPSECE (I've not tried it since it came out of beta) which, for $10, gives you a frickin' PLAYSTATION on your phone!!!
MyPlayer (free) is the WM iPlayer equivalent - plus other freeview channels and live TV (assuming you're UK)
And down the line, consider looking at how to flash ROMs etc. if you want more tabs/newer features/better speed and stability (if you choose the right ROM!)
There's a Torch application (free) which uses your flash as an emergency torch - very bright and very handy!
Oh, and Windows MyPhone is (imo) the best way to back-up contacts, texts, etc.
Lastly, need a game for the bus? Try Experiment 13 - it's free and the graphics/physics are great!
Oh, and want to replace the basic mp3 player? Try S2P, very colourful, and fast to navigate, very similar to the iphone music player if you've seen that - although it's just left beta and is now $4 (although probably an old version about)
---
All of these are findable on XDA. Finally, welcome to the forum!!
Hrs of fun ahead

There seem to be serveral crash bugs in it, major slow down issues and from what i can gather it's a bit of a mess. All the custom rom threads are on fire with request for 1.7 cabs (fools should have kept backups) and declarations of wishing to wait till 1.8.1
Personally i think sense is perfectly fine for my needs. It just need s kick in the butt to make it faster when it's after it's first boot.

I've not had no problems with cookies 1.8. I think it actually runs much smoother and is far more customizable than previous versions, no issues so far from a mess, anyways he was asking for opinions on apps & I gave mine
I like Bing for movie times. It also has turn-by-turn directions. Map-wise, I think Google Maps looks better, but Bing is a far sleeker application.
No issues from 1.8 for me... But let's keep this thread on track for our newbie friend, right?
To newbie : Cookie's Home Tab is a fantastic modification to your homepage, which provides you with many more shrtocuts on your homepage and tons of other configurations (such as a music player, task-list etc), but as you can see, the latest version may be buggy. Previous versions are stable as anything tho.
Thanks!
Thank you all for your quick responses!! LovE YA ALLLL!
i think everyone forgot to mention office mobile 2010 and i forgot to mention the following:
Leo Cpu speed
Chainfire's 3D driver patch
BSB tweaks
SRS wowhd 2.1
myriad java
vncviewer
And if you like gaming and a bit of nostalgia try out fpsece. It's a playstation emulator
just about to type BSB tweaks and saw the post above..
Fpsece - a must
skyfire - for browsing flash sites like tvcatchup.com
xda shutdown - handy for a quick reset
HDWalls - full screen wallpaper
JWMD icon changer - change all icons in start menu etc.
LeoCPU speed
world cup app - www.mobilepractices.com
Scilors Groove Mobile/Downloader - stream or download any tune
G-Alarm - not free but very good alarm app
mem maid or SKTools - to clean up your HD2
my Player - great bbc iplayer and live TV app (in the UK)
Sky - (if you've got a sky box you can remote record)
Games....
Mini Golf Wacky Worlds
SPB Puzzle
Experiment 13
Pool Rebel
Ivy the Kiwi
Morphgear
Fpsece (so good I put it in twice!)
that should keep you going for a bit!
if your gonna suggest the world cup application then i'll suggest the F1 live timing application. Watching the canadian grand prix on sunday with it was amazing.
My essentials are:
1. Dial-up Enabler/Disabler
2. NETCFv35
3. RegEdit
4. Remote Tracker (with MyMobiler on the PC)
5. SPB TV
6. WunderRadio
7. Total Commander
Navi: MN7
Other: GPS Weather Radar, mobiPocket Reader with Wikipedia (2008)
Works fine alltogether!

Hello All, thanks for this thread, very useful. One question, what is the right regeditor?
I have used TCM, but can't figure out how to import reg keys (tweaks exported to save effort next time I hard reset). PHM regeditor seems to have the import keys greyed out. Mobile registry editor and Tascal seem to import files, but the keys don't actually change. Am I just a n00b and missing something?
Figured it out, simply copy the reg file into the registry root. TCM does it all then!
i use remote desktop client to log onto my pc im suprised more people dont use it as often as i do to control their pc its so easy to set up
all u got to do is right click my computer, properties and enable remote connections from there.
then when ur on your own wifi just connect to the pc's hostname or ip.
forward port 3389 on ur router to your desktop pc and you can do it over the internet too by connecting to your external ip / hostname
i use it a lot to do stuff i cant do on my phone, also if i want to download something when im out i can set it and it will be done when i get home etc
.........
i also play emulators and just installed as many tower defense games as i could find.
tomtom and igo... both installed to memory card and the shortcuts are set up to reinstall when i flash. the settings DO save, but i have addresses set in my contacts anyway and tomtom has the feature to look up from your addressbook
i use torch on my shortcuts, but a different one that doesnt have a user interface its just on and off.
i have my brightnesses (both) set to dimmest, and i have the app autobacklight as a shortcut so i can switch between dark and auto (which is always bright enough). its usually on auto unless im in a dark environment. 1 click dim mode lol
batti is another good one. there are lots of programs like batti that let you put your battery level accross the top of the screen, but batti is the best to me because it lets you customise the colours perfectly so you can match it to whatever colour theme you got going on or just have it how you want it.
i used to use s2u2 because you could change the background randomly and show lots of appointments on the main screen. and read texts check missed called etc. dont even have to unlock your phone half the time...
i just installed omarket and that has unlocked a lot for me. you should def do that. i had to make an account on the website but it was worth the hassle.
metaldetector is a great app. so wierd how it actually works.
i have various guitar tuners, im still looking for the best one though...
lmt is another good one that basically makes your phone way more useable. i dont use all the features, but its still added a lot to the way i can use the phone
i read some pdf's on my phone now that it doesnt take ages to render pages...
ive used wififofum in the past, i should have that on my phone now really its v useful when you wanna see all the networks around you.

the most common way is to plug your hd2 into your pc via usb.
then copy the files you have downloaded (usually its .cab) and paste them onto your phones sd card storage (via my computer)
then unplug your phone from the pc
then on your phone, use file explorer to find the cabs and run them. that will install it.
then to run it, find it in the start menu...
as for what to install first, system stuff.
but really, if you install a rom you will wipe all your data, but dont worry about flashing and roms yet, just try out different apps and customisations you like while you pick it all up.
i install things like s2u2 first (lockscreen app) when ive set my phone up i use it for a while before i install the next thing, so that if a problem pops up its usually because of the last thing you installed/modified.
read a lot of stuff. dont worry if it doesnt make sense at first.
After you install all those recomended applications above,try a keyboard called Swype,your head will hit the roof with amazement!! so be careful.
