Just thought I would start a forum Dedicated to one location to document any Bugs that are known, and possible solutions. So if you have any known bugs, or if you have known tweaks, please post.
I have only had the JASJAR for 2 days now, and notice the following issues:
1. Significant amounts of my old software that was working on WM2003SE will not run on WM2005 for example:
SPB - The screen short cuts work fine, but the rest doesnt, no tweaks to PIE, no battery status, no "CLOSE" fix. This is a big problem, cause everything you open stays open unless you close it all via running programs.
KSE Fax - didnt work
Resco Explorer - didnt work
MSVC - didnt work, wont uninstall!!
Pocket Dictate - didnt work
Navman SmartST - didnt work, so didnt get to test the GPS port technology.
Flashdash - didnt work, per supplier working on a fix.
PHM Registry editor - didnt work
2. Text messages dont appear to be deleting, they come back on reset
3. Mortgage calculator due to VB Runtime not supported
4. Couldnt activate MS Reader even though its a microsoft product!!
5. No backup software which is a pain when you are installing software to test, and then cant install it, or your not certain its properly uninstalled
6. No VGA output, or cannot locate how to display on alternative screens such as data projectors. I got the back pack with the XDA II, but cannot find an option here.
7. Serious slow downs due to applications not closing
8. Seem to be a problem with the Blue tooth headset activating the voice command when its switched off.
9. calculator is still the basic model, not the advanced version you can get on your PC.
10. Cant find the registry hack to show the date not just the time.
11. Couldnt get avantgo to work.
12. Explorer still takes a very long time to explore the windows directory, and still doesnt allow a properties view on it.
Some of these might be because I simply couldnt be bothered tweaking some of these, or looking at possible fixes.
I can also see some serious memory issues and the need for a good SD card is going to be important. Speaking of which, allows the ability to automatically/select install to SD card, which is a bonus, dont need cabinstall anymore. Even so,
BUT OVERALL, I think its a nice device, only just released, nice and clear screen, great functionality, good WIFI without serious battery drains compared to what I am used to, BT Headset works usually. I am still to get the MMS and GPRS operational, and dont know anybody that can use 3G yet.
Synchronising music with WMP10 is a good feature, and it can be setup to synchronise your videos and pictures I think.
So, what do the rest of you think please list your bug bears, and if you see a fix great, and any suggested tweaks or software that does work on your devices would be great. Hoping for a long and fruitful post of consolidated tweaks and bugs.
resco file explorer on wm5
I upgraded to resco file explorer 2005 (half price if you last purchased 2003 version after 1 yr) . Try that version if the 2003 version does not work.
some of the stuff mentioned are not really bugs (resco explorer 2k3 works for me,slowdowns because of multiple apps running-> you need a task manager for this)
right now, I'm still waiting if this will ever support USB hosting (but I doubt if it is). I'm quite confuse with how tekguru came up with the conclusion that Universal can act as USB host. i tried inserting an external harddisk using the stock usb cable+female usb A+usb A, nothing happens
hey
i beg to differ...
the phm registry works just fine..
ive tweaked the date and time into the top bar thru registry
ive also changed the calendar softkey on the screen to run and display file explorer
resco explorer 2005 works just not the network part of it...
spb pocketplus with battery bar at the top of the screen works aswell
WM2005 Tweaks n bugs
Thats interesting, I will try to download updated versions then rather than those kept in my library and try again and will advise.
Does the "close" operation on SPB work ok?
Where did you locate the registry tweak?
I think I was using Resco 2003, a few have noted 2005 works ok.
Cheers
for closing app i bought this application called handyswitcher... i also know the close app in wisbar advance 2 also works i havent tried spb close app button..since i have the other two
spb 3
I downlaod and installed spb3. it seems to slow this thing down, but it does have the task manager.
the biggest bug I have is with skype, it just closes down suddenly?
magic button task manager is lightweight and its freeware. I'm having problems with WA2, I'll just install it later when a more stable build for wm5 will be available
avantgo installation
I have found that u can install Avantgo by doing the following:
1. Go to Avantgo website
2. Register
3. Download old wince version
4. install it on pc with pda connected and activesync active
5. upgrade to pocketpc version
6. do an activesync syncing (after choosing ur free channels)
thats it, u get avantgo on your system, but beware, it takes internal disk space...
Greetings
Nabil H
PS I guess M$ removed Avantgo from Rom because it offers now pocketmsn on universal and Avantgo competes with it, the old IE/Netscape story...
Can i ask you poeple with the new EXEC, or branded version, Looking at the pictures the microphone and speaker are on the same side as the LCD screen. If its closed (like a laptop) do you need to open it and spin the LCD round (like a tablet PC) in order to use it as a phone for a voice call
Thanks John

you dont need to open the lid. there's a Send/End call button at the side to make the call. problem is you dont have a way of knowing who's calling. that's where jabra bt800 or akon hbh660 BT headsets come in handy
thanks for the reply GM, that makes sence to use a Bt headset that shows caller ID, But as to answering it with the external buttons, and if the thing is closed wuth the screen inside, cam you hear the caller if you dont have a headset

Tekguru didn't come up with it - quite the opposite in fact. But he reported that ANOTHER site was reporting it worked
Microsoft Voice Command 1.5 has issues... it requires a manual install using the .cab file and seems to mostly work but causes problems with WM5.. and it won't uninstall.
also, I have found that you cannot copy text from a note and paste it into the body of an email using the tap and hold method. you must press fn+space bar to do it... this is a bug in WM5.

You can hear the caller anouncement with voice command installed.
the skype issue is caused by active sync
active sync turns itself on non-stop, I am constantly having to return to running programs and turn it off. skype needs memory, so it crashes when active sync is running.
Is there a registry tweak to stop the 'auto-on' feature of skype?
as for spb3, it does slow this down and make it buggy. I am losing it.
can't you just turn off auto sych into your AS?
NO Announcement with incoming calls. Its so low you cant hear sh..
no turning off active sync in options
the 'option' to turn off is simply gone.
despite a lot of digging none of the suggestions for getting a BT/GPS working did the job for me, well, they did for TT5 sometimes but did not work for the Garmin software.
I then after reading some more had a bright idea, why not just create a registry entry in HKLM Drivers with just a blank COM4 entry, after all, the problem seems to be that the com port is not fully established until the software starts talking, and the Garmin software does not show it till it is fully established - no doubt some of you will better understand the inside than me !!!
anyway, for the first time my garmin que software with my garmin gps10 is actually showing where i am ;-)

Can you tell us exactly the key you have added?
i created a key
hkey_local_machine/drviers/active/73
and in there created a string value
Name = COM4:
this method does not seem to work for tomtom5 but the other methods posted work for that, but for garmin que with gps10 (along with the regedit to unhide the interface option onque) i can then see an extra entry onthe com list and when i select that que detects com4 and finds the gps and works.
i suspect there is something else i should do as for some reason the entry in garmin que shows up as a blank line or with a square instead of listed as com4, but que lets me select it anyway !!
Mapsource and Que on WM5
Thanks, this sorted out my problem. Now I'm able to link my JasJar and GPS10.
Now I have problem with my Mapsource and nRoute. They do not detect the device.
Any ideas?
Hi,
i have not really tried using nroute at all to be honest, though i do use mapsource on my pc - indeed i have used it for several years as i also have a streetpilot 3 that came with my motorbike ;-)
that part i had no problem with.... apart from the garmin registration being a little complicated !!!!! if i remember right (i am not at home) you have to register the maps against the serial number of the gps (this is the serial number which is on the label and the registration card). this is done on the garmin website. that gives you an unlock code which you enter in to mapsource itself.
you can then use mapsource to select what maps to copy, the easiest way is to take the sd-card from your jasjar and put it into a card reader in the pc, and mapsource writes them straight down. then put the card back in to the jasjar.
actually, garmin are quite helpful, and they allow you to unlock each map against two gps's so i now have all my maps unlocked against both my streetpilot3 and my gps10/que.
you can see on the garmin website what is or is not unlocked. i guess the files mapsource creates have some sort of signature so that when que runs it knows if the maps are being used against the correct gps.
the other good news is that i have tomtom running as well, i simply go to the gps menu of the jasjar to enable the access-managegpsautomatically when i want to use tomtom which then works happily against the logical port, and disable it when i want to use que which works against the actual bluetooth com port.
let me know if you still have problems and i will write again when at home with my pc and mapsource
it seams accept com8 when you set the outgoing port in the bt setting with tt5

Same here! Detect nothing....
I really want to transfer the maps, and that can´t be done without detection.. please help!
downloading maps
well, i have not used nroute at all, but mapsource can download direct to a memory card (SD or whatever) using any normal pc adapter, and then when you put the card into your universal, because the universal has detected the gps10 it will open the maps no problem. before doing the download you simply have to register the maps against the gps serial number - this is done on the garmin website, that gives you the unlock code which you enter into mapsource.

The problem is that I can´t send it to my device.
Have ulocked all maps already.. pressing the send to device botton and it workes... only on my Qtek S100. Now on my Wm2005 device...
And it is only the new device I would like to use..
So, the problem is that I cant get the maps to the 2005 device.
I followed the steps from the first post in this http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=28386&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 link and worked fine for me

I know that Garmin said that there GPS 10 is not compatible with this one.
But I manage to make some settings so i could pair the units together.
Only one problem.. when I try to install basic map and other maps my computer wont find the device.
It says that the unit is not connected...
My Qtek S100 workes directly.. but I have just upgraded to 9100 and would like to get it to work..
Any suggestions?
PPC-6700 with Garmin GPS 10 BT
This is EXACTLY where I am at as well with my PPC and the GPS 10. I don't understand how it can detect the PPC-6700 and install the Que software and the Voice files through ActiveSync, but yet when you get to the installation part of the basemaps, it doesn't detect?!?! Something doesn't make sense! If you call Garmin, they will just inform you that the R&D team has not come up with a solution as of yet, and when they do, it will be available for download in the updates section. If you look on the setup cd with the basemaps, they are .img files, but I cannot find a program to manipulate them. I was thinking of maybe finding out a program to "uncomrpess" the .img basemaps from the CD then copy them over to the PPC. Any suggestions?
Garmin iQue issue
I was spending quite a while looking for this issue already.l
Had some help from Garmin to proceed with com port allocation.
But for the issue with Mapsource to Garmin link they doesn't reply at all.
My clue is that something wrong with RAPI interface which has changed between ActiveSync 3.8+WM03 and 4.0+WM05.
If you watch how older devices work you can see that ActiveSync launches (on PPC) RapiSrv.exe program which will deal with Mapsource by the use of QueRapi.dll.
I've looked for the number of documents on Microsoft regarding new activesync and wm2005, looks like we need new version of ppcQue.
I use Imate Kjam + GPS10
If you find some fix, please drop me a text on mekel#yandex.ru.
Thanx.
Universal vs BT GPS
My HW: T-Mobile DE MDA Pro with I-mate ROM - Emtac Wayfinder BT GPS
The main thing was the fluent line from BT hardware port to my iGO Navigation software. At the beginning, in iGO, I only saw the reserved COM ports. BUT
1. Use Bluetooth manager to connect GPS reciever and set Outgoing port to COM0
2. Use the registry editor to create the GPS Settings icon in Settings (HKLM\ControlPanel\GPS Settings\Hide -> value: 0
3. Use the GPS Settings setup, to mount HW port to COM0, SW port to COM4
4. Install franson GPS Gate, and set up using Input port: physical COM4, Output port (create) virtual port COM8
5. Install iGO, and select COM8, to get the coordinates for the ride
This works for me, hope to others as well!
BUT: after a soft reset, it isn't reachable. That is because active ports on the HTC Uni are dynamically changed after a soft reset. I'm working on a constant solution...

No but I've used Memory-Map with great success. Took the same fiddling as Tomtom to get the GPS COM port working.
6 days later, gps10, is working
After trawling through a load of forums and after reading this one i thought i would put my solution, probably a bit late.
Firstly bought the full gps10 package from rs, loaded nroute on the laptop unlocked the maps, loaded the universal (m5000) with que, then the tried to upload the maps. didnt recgonise the pda. so then tried to get the bt gps working and that failed as well.
got gpsproxy working but it was a bit hit and miss, so called garmin and asked them why they sell it when it dosent work, was just about to have a good old shout at them when they offerd to e-mail me a new patch.
So installed the new garminque.exe file over the top of the new one and it picked up the bt/gps on com4. easy enough. then tried again to upload the maps but no joy, borrowed a card read/writer from work took that home and mapinstall worked fine chose my maps and tested it last night.
So if you are having trouble i'm posting the file so other people should find it a bit easier, hope this helps. oh my sd card is a 1gb fujitsu sd card
The full instructions from garmin follow
Here is a fix for the GPS 10 Bluetooth connection problems with a Windows
Mobile 5 Pocket PC. I have written out more detailed instructions that
should be easy for the customer to follow and implement:
Thank you for contacting Garmin International
Rename the attached file from GarminQue.zip_ to GarminQue.zip so WinZip will
recognize the extension.
Double click on the file and it should unzip. Unzip this to the desktop,
this will unzip to the file garminque.exe
To install... drop the GarminQue.exe file in the \Garmin\ directory and
overwrite the previously installed .exe. on the unit itself.
You can do this by going into the My Computer Icon. Double click on Mobile
Device. Double click on My Pocket PC. Double click on the Garmin folder.
Here is where you copy the garminque.exe.
This will put the modified file right on the unit itself. This will then
allow the software to use the unit's available com ports instead of looking
for just com 2 and com 7.

Hi,
Did anybody try to use GPSGate together with GarminQue?
I have a problem with GPSGate 2.5.0.210.
I installed it on HTC X7500 with WM6, the installation was perfect, I created input/output ports. On input I see "GPS data is coming in", then I created out "Virtual COM1/Garmin Emulator" and for the first time it shows "Running OK", but when I start Garmin Que and configure this port as GPS port, Que just says "GPS is Off". I tried to push button "Connect to GPS" but it doesn't help.
At the same time GPSGate shows "No clients connected" in output page.
I tried to create COM2 at the same time, tried to change COM1->COM9 but it doesn't help too.
If somebody has any ideas, please let me know.
Oleg.
Could be the QuickGPS messing around?
Try to unconfigure QuickGPS, is in the Start / Settings / System.
Once you unconfigure that, the hardware port for GPS on Athena/X7500 is COM5 at 4800, so you need to configure that in GPSGate as input (?) and then the virtual port you want to use as output... COM1 or COM2 are good choices. Maybe COM0 but some programs got troubles with that.
Other choice could be try to not to stop the QuickGPS and use COM4 as input and again COM1 or COM2 as output. Not sure if this will work. Other programs llike GPSBlue or GPSProxy allows to do that so you keep the quick finding of sats.
That´s the solution, majhong! How are you?
With search engine i found you and i tried to unconfigure quickGps (SIFenabler in A701). Now, Garmin Que, C-eMap and PTGMap run ok without problems of gps comunication. I`ve changed position of SIFenabler, from Start Up to Start Menu. Now quickgps don´t run i start of windows.
Best regards and thanks

Hi all,
I'm just a noob for programming, but I'd like to know if some programers around here could make a script with mortscript for instance, that make the following:
1)When launch, it disables HTC home plug in
2)Then, it launch Igo8
3)When we close igo8, it relaunch HTC home.
It's quite simple, and could make Igo 8 work simply...
Perhaps it's an idiot think, but if it works, I'm sure that a lot of persons around here will appreciate.
Thanks for your comment.
MegaMan
If you have Htc home plugIn active, you have not only disable to start Igo8, but you must disable htc plugin then reset htc, otherwise Igo8 will not never start. It's not quite simply, dont' you believe ?!
iGO8 works fine with HTC Home. i'm using it on my polaris for sometime now and it hasn't given me any trouble.
Why don't you post your request on Mortscript thread?
I was thinking about allmost the same, I have ThrottleLauncher activated and it consumes about 7mb and igo need a lot of ram.. I think with mortscript this is no problem but I don't know how
@ furb3T:
I have tried and it works for me !
I don't have the weather tab enabled and if I switch off HTC home, IGO work, and if I switch on Htc Home Igo don't work . and this without any soft reset.
So The solution might be : disable weather tab, and have a script that disable HTC home before running IGO, and then Rerun HTC home when closing IGO.
I'll post it in the Mortscript Thread too.
Thanks for your answer.
I recently added the Navipanel to the start menu and found that it launches Telenav instead of Garmin. I found some threads using search regarding editing the navipanel but nothing worked for Garmin. That being said these are the settings that i used to get it to launch through NaviPanel.
I have Garmin installed on the SD card and went into my device using file explorer. I then copied the Garmin folder to the Program files folder.
following that i did the following in total commander:
open HKCU>Software>TeleNav
I clicked on AppPath and edited the contents to:
\Program Files\Garmin\Garmin Mobile XT.exe
I then did a soft reset.
This is what happens when using NaviPanel tabs now
Go Home: Asks to enter home address(i did so in Garmin but it still stays the same)
Enter Home Address: opens Garmin
Recent: opens Garmin
Footprints: Opens footprints app (i have no footprints set up, will test)
Navigation: opens Garmin app, i have to double press sometimes
Besides that I only experienced a delay when checking to see if the Telenav app still opens in the Programs section.
*****I am a noob and usually just follow the instructions on this site to mod my windows phones. That being said i got lucky playing with the registry settings and take no responsibility if the above is followed*****
can you tell me how you added the navipanel to the start screen?
Sorry for not being any assistance on your problem.
i used file explorer my device windows folder scroll down to navipanel should be a 249k file hold down until uget an option to copy then scroll up to the start menu folder go in there then select the programs folder then menu, edit, paste once u go back to the start menu it should be there pm me if u need assistance cuz i typed this on my hd2
Bump
Just wanted to see if anyone has tried this and gotten further than me.
Thanks for the tip, works great.
I didn't move Garmin to program files, I just left it on the SD card. I guess the only issue there is to fix is the home button, but no big deal since it launches Garmin anyways. BTW, footprints works fine.
Cool, did the same with mine. Only thing is it doesn't exactly do the FUNCTION that the buttons are suppose to do. I guess anyone that knows a little more about programming might be able to get it. There has to be a more direct path to SEARCH instead of just opening the gps programs main exe.

One more, easier, workarround if you want to open Garmin XT from NaviPanel.
I had CoPilot (on HD2). Install Garmin (I did it on Storage Card).
Then:
1. Find Garmin XT.exe in Program files (on device)
2. Copy it to any TEMP folder on your device.
3. Rename it to copilot.exe
4. Copy it to device\program files\copilot and replace original one (make a copy of original, just in case)
Thats all
All mentioned circumstances will be the same:
"This is what happens when using NaviPanel tabs now
Go Home: Opens Garmin
Recent: opens Garmin
Footprints: Opens footprints app
Navigation: opens Garmin app"

navipanel lniking to garmin
Hi Cozhyn,
I tried ur method and its works perfect except 2 glitches.
when you open foot prints or phone they open fine but when u click the back button after opening it the navipanel freezes and gets kind of screwed.I have to soft rest it to get it to normal.
It absolutely runs garmin.
Please let me know if you have any solution for this problem.
thanks

Hi all, where can I download this file for my HTC HD2
Navipanel ?
thanks a lot

The problem I have is that I do have Navipanel installed but no Copilot.
I installed Garmin on SD but don't know how to link it to Navipanel.
Navipanel has only phone link activated.
I tried to creat a Copilot folder but nothing happens.

You don't have to use Total Commander (PHM or other regeditors should work), but if you want to use TC you need to navigate to the root directory (hit the "\" in the top right), then look in the "\\plugins" folder, then in "registry"...from there you'll see "HKCU" (shorthand for "HKEY_CURRENT_USER")
Thanks, I have no copoilt, will try to add garmin
Thanx for the clarification.
I can now use TC to To get into HKCU Thank you But i still cant find Tele Nav under software
I do have it installed ANY HELP?
