Pocket Plus and Xda II Lockups (1.66 ROM)

We have noted some strange locking up of our Xda II's over on the MTekk forums requiring a hard reset. We have a number of threads running at the moment but the main one is here.
I have been in touch with Spb about this and they inform me it is actually an HTC and MS issue. Below is their email response.
Hello David,
We do our best to fix this problem ASAP. We work hard with HTC and
Microsoft now on this problem.
But this problem occurs not only with Spb Pocket Plus but with other
programs too.
We have feedback from HTC and Microsoft about that (sorry, I cannot
disclosure more
details since it is information obtained from our partners).
So I am not sure we will be able to fix it in Spb Pocket Plus - probably
HTC will fix it in their ROM.
Spb Pocket Plus does not use any undocumented functions that can cause
such behavior.
Probably we will disable running Spb Pocket Plus on these devices at all
until HTC fixes this bug in ROM
Pocket Plus 1.x is not available online now but I can send it to you if you want via e-mail.
If you bought Pocket Plus 2.x and can't use it, you can always ask for refund.
If you have any questions, please, don't hesitate to contact me.

It appears as though this issue could also be happening with version 1 of Pocket Plus on the 1.66 ROM (and some 1.72 ROM's too).
Thought you guys might like to know. Generally I find Spb products to be good, but it appears as though Spb are being blamed for this issue. I think this email help point the finger in the right direction.

Hi djwhyte
This is some strange stuff as I've been running Pocket Plus 2.0 for a few months and have recently installed 2.1 (just for the hell of it I think its only a VGA update from what I can see)... but have not had any problems on my XDA II before, hear are my details of my device if this helps:
ROM Version: 1.66.00WWE
ROM Date: 02/20/04
Radio Version: 1.08.00
Protocol Version: 1337.18
ExtROM Version: 1.66.165
The only thing I could think that I MIGHT be doing diferent is that I do not use the today screen pluging (I use all other features like repeating allarms and task mannager!) At the begining I did use the today screen and do not recall any problems as well I've taken it off because my today screen was getting to cluttered with other software I am running.
Not sure if this is going to help you but have to tired installing Pocket Plus with NO other applications installed after a hard reset? It might be a conflict with other software or even a totaly other product causing the problem? Not sure hope this can help you!
Regards
Fudge!

Pocket Plus 2 is installed in my wife's XDA2 with 1.66rom. its almost 3 weeks now and so far no problem. my XDA2's rom is only 1.60.

Hey thanks for info guys.
I will have to try without the today screen pluggin and see if makes any difference.
Boybi, your wifes Xda II which is on the 1.66 ROM, does it have the today screen plugin enabled?
Dave

is the Today Plugin the one where you can put battery and memory bars, and put some icons? if yes, then its enabled.

i too am having problems with the spb pocket plus v2.1 using xda2 with 1.66WWE ROM version. i get hang ups and the unit would do a hard reset. good thing i always do a backup of the contacts and appointments!

aside from Pocket Plus, what other Today Plugins can you guys recommend?

I was wondering what was the lockup caused by. I uninstalled the SPB GPRS and SPB Pocket Plus and now it's ok. No more lockup. I had to hard reset, but couldn't initial find the problem until the trial expired, weird. I guess that's why I bought it.

I find GPRS monitor is OK!!
I have a feeling the Today plugin is the cause as I have had no such crashes since I installed it again with the today screen disabled. What part of it I don't know though.
Boybi, which icons, sliders does your wife have enabled on the plugin?

One thing to note on this, is that SPB update their software silently and don't tell ya about it.
So get the latest build of PocketPlus and try again.
Cheers

my wife's XDA2 just locked-up today! can't turn it on even using soft reset. so i think its really the Pocket Plus! now i disabled the today plugin.

Ooooh Sorry Boybi, I hope I didn't curse you but that sounds like the lockup.
I have been running sweetly for three days without the Today screen plugin for PP2. How long did your wife have the Today screen showing before it locked up? Days? Weeks?
Cheers,
Dave

Possible LOCKUP?
DJWHYTE,
im using pocket plus ver 2.1 on a 1.66 ROM XDA II, just installed it 24 hours ago, no problems so far.
All featured ITEMS enabled, Today Plug-in, File Explorer enhancements, Pocket IE enhancement, Looping Alarm, etc..
Im very disturbed by what I just read in this thread, although I have experienced 1 LOCKUP, it happened while SPB Pocket Plus was NOT YET installed.
Can anyone please advise HOW LONG was the average time FROM installation of pocket plus DID the LOCKUP occur? and what your POCKET PLUS version and ROM versions are?
Certainly would put most of us at ease.
Cheers

With my previous 1.66ITA it worked for about 3 months without troubles (PP 2.0 first and 2.1 later) .
After the upgrade to 1.72.04ITA no chance to install it anymore; it freezes and the only way out is hard resetting. :evil:
Spb team says that they are working on it... hope so, otherwise I will claim for my money back. :evil: :evil:
My experience up to now is that PP is white or black: it works or not, at all. In your case it works, so I would not worry too much... :roll:

Good, now I can sleep better knowing my XDA 2 will still turn on tomorrow when I wake up. Thanks DAVE.
Any other observations out there?
I may DREAM better if there are, hehehe.

my wife's 1.66rom XDA2 runs with PP2.1 for 2 weeks without any problems until yesterday.

maybe other apps?
boybi,
pre,
maybe another app caused the lockup? you havent installed anything new in those two weeks? may i please know what your apps are?
mine are:
1. pocket plus 2.1
2. my calendar
3. pocket zen
4. flash player activeX
5. morphgear
6. calendar plus
7. pocket translator
8. pencil box
9. calc98 and aidem calc
10. betaplayer
11. SB check notifications.
12. vbirthday
just want to know for comparison AND app finger-pointing.
thanks.

I too have had the problem
Ever since I installed the Spb PocketPlus ver 1.x and onward I have had that problem. It occurs rarely but often enough to annoy me (1-2 times/month). It seems to make no difference if I disable the Today screen. I have removed it now. I don't have much other software on it, except for Destinator 3 and a painting program. I won't return to PocketPlus until the issue is solved.

sbp
The italian localized 2.1 will not work on the 1.72 ROM, to make it works you need to install the 2.0 and after it the 2.1.
No problems at all

anyone?? what is o2 plus???

O2 Plus is a today plugin by O2, you can have call forward profiles, sound profiles, easy task manager and other many convenience features.
there is an info, O2 Plus will release from their official site, but no exactly date

I already seen it in thai PDA review website.

I have access to the o2 website but i havent seen any information on this product.. does anyone have a link where i might find more info?? thanks

02 plus 1.5
02 plus 1.4 has a bug.. has been announced by o2..
download the 1.5 below
cheers

Doesn't work on my T-Mobile Compact, after installation I get the message that it will work on O2 devices only. And indeed, it just sits in the Windows folder and even when I launch it there I get the same message. It shows up in the settings for the Today screen, but when checked does not come forward on the screen. When anyone knows what to do about this ( apart from buying an XDA mini ) I'll be glad to hear it.
Edit: Never mind, I already found the cracked version. Worked well, I especially liked the profile choices integrated in the Today Plug-in. But too few tabs for programs and such, so I'll stick with PZP and SPB Pocket Plus for now. I'd rather have the two apps integrated in one, as O2 Plus does, but only two tabs is not nearly enough for all the shortcuts I want in there. I like it that you can add extra tabs in Pocket Plus, so I'll stick with two seperate apps for now.

what is the bug in the 1.4 as i have a UK XDA2s and the 1.5 says its not for my device, so i am still using the v1.4 that dose not check what device its being installed on
Thans
JOhn

anything new in 1.5?
is there a cracked version out ?

i am using 1.4 on xda II and have no problems would'nt mind using 1.5 but only if it would'nt give that freaky error but 1.4 is k no probz wimme....

win mobile 6 on herald?

many roms of wm6 are around on known sites for specific models.is anything for our herald too?ive read that there is going to be an official update to wm6 of this model so there must be something around, even beta.

Mhhm, i couldn´t find anything by now....
Lets wait a little, i think HTC is going to release something for us, soon

No one cooking any roms for the Herald tho?

doesn't look like it, i looked into porting one of the wizard roms but i didnt get very far! its definately possible to flash your own roms though. Also its worth remembering that HTC have promised us wm6 roms before June. I would much rather have that than a pre-release wm6 rom as the ones that are avaliable for the wizard, hermes etc.

As far as i know, everyone is content with AKU 3.2

well i have used crossbow on my wizard and the only difference i see are pretty icons and html mail. i dont really care about either, and more importantly my herald is very stable, cant remember the last time i had to soft reset never mind hard reset. so thats why i can wait until htc do their thang!

I hear one handed uses on WM6 is way better and that windows update feature looks very promissing.

O2 may be releasing an HTC Herald as O2 XDA Terra, with WM6 on it.

HTC Herald (aka Tmo Wing)
I bought a T-Mobile Wing 2 days ago (obviously it has WM6 on it) Where-as it is stable - I am rather disappointed that they removed the native VoIP support - thus I am waiting for someone to cook a ROM and put it back in so I can do the Hybrid Cell/VoIP thing that I was Previously doing on my Wizard (MDA) - I still have my Wizard which I use strictly for VoIP at home.

NEW Windows Messenger Live !

Seems like quite a few of you are interested on the new windows messenger live, so i decide to post the file here. This is still the beta version, but it's near complete and no major bug reported.
Once you install it, it will import all the contacts on your Messenger Live to your PDA contact, some people might not prefer this but there is no option to disable it so use it on your own risk.
Apart from that, this version is much much better than pocket MSN, it support far more function such as file transfer and icon...etc.
So enjoy !
p.s. i seems to have a problem of uploading the file, so here is a link:
http://www.badongo.com/file/2528811

Thanks ! I'm Live

can you send me this file to my email

if the file is EXE can you change to TEXT file.
thanks.

Same problem here, only worked for 1 day, now just comes up with a small box saying "error"!! Can anyone help please?
Thanks Tim

Looks like mine has gone today as well...after entering name and password it just goes back to the today screen.
Damn.

Same errors here as well. Cannot log into Windows Live Messenger or Live Mail. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that didn't work.

The cab file created by me only has the newest WLM version which can be found on some new WM6 roms... Nothing special. If its laggy blame MS LOL
Was the old one also laggy? Cause it kinda uses a lot of resources.

Hi guys,
perhaps I should have read this forum before deleting all my contactlist (msn accounts) in my outlook.
after a sync my msn live app refused to start up.
after deleting the msn live and a hard reset. I'd tried to reinstall it again, but this time I couldn't get trough the installation. It says installation failed. even after a hard reset!
Is it familiar to someone?
very strange that the problem remains even after a hard reset..

Runs perfectly fast on the WM6 ROM! I suppose the newer OS comes with better optimizations than WM5 AKU 3.5!

Skymarket/ WMMarketplace for WM6.0/6.1

Here is a cab for 6.0/6.1 users for WM Marketplace or WM6.5 if its not installed in rom. I made it from 23053 skymarket oem pkg. Its for WWE only and only for devices that have a bootlauncher (IE no apache.) Let me know if it doesn't work on stock roms as its not signed as I'm not sure if signature is required but it will run on cooked roms with full kernel trust enabled.
Edit from reports it seems to run on stock roms too
Some reports that it errors if IE isn't default browser also.

Have they taken the site down? I keep getting a "Marketplace could not connect because the server is unavailable" message.

I also have that error.

Probably a trail run for the big launch tomorrow

Marketplace has been closed today from 3 PM. I think they will open it with many apps included!

I just tried it using the app in my ROM.. It downloaded a new version, and connected to the Marketplace, but there's only about a dozen apps online atm, and almost no free ones...

Hey, thanks! Works perfectly for me in the UK with my cooked 6.5 ROM!
I can admire my app online now!
Btw, it has a serious flaw. It doesnt require a PIN when purchasing something, thus anybody that may get his hands on your phone may start charging you as he likes.

Thanks a lot for this app, I don't have it on my 6.1 ROM. I'll give it a try tomorrow

Hi I have the ROM "Valkyrie XPERIO" (the latest version).
I have installed the CAB and when I click on it I get the message:
"Windows Marketplace for Mobile cannot connect. There may be a problem with the Marketplace service right now. Check your internet connection and try again later."
I know the internet connection is fine, I didn't have marketplace built into the ROM so just wondered if someone has seen this error message?

Works good on HTC Raphael with official 6.1 ROM, but very poor choice of apps for now.

Works fine on HTC Touch running NFSfan's v14 ROM. Thanks man!

I'm on WM 6.1 Rom Mania Adrenaline final FRE.

ok mine ended up working in the end, just took a few attempts to connect the first time. Works a treat now
And yeah I saw the £10 calculator!! WTF?! Just wondering if we'll see anything like BING or Skype on here?

marketplace is opened from now
office mobile price is 29$. i don't know why but i think it free

Yeah, I saw that. You have to wonder what the hell the devs of that have been smoking. £10 for a calculator? <bleep> off!
Not impressed with the startup so far though.. Very small selection of titles (I count 39 apps in total. 39!!), and almost NO free stuff, not even trial versions!

Is there a chance to have it working with Opera as browser ? Today all cooked ROM are using Opera instead of IE...
