GPRS Monitor

I cannot install GPRS Monitor from myO2 CD, it says i need to update my ROM, i did a corporate install btw
Anyone else had any probs?

Another forum member had this same problem when installing the ClearVuePDF Reader also supplied by o2 as part of the HTC application suite. He has the MDA, but flashed with the o2 Exec ROMs and then installed in Corporate mode.
From work we did together, it appears to be just the install program that was not validating his device. When I tried a hard-reset and Corporate mode install, I had no problems installing. However, its beginning to look as though a hard-reset does not totally clear the Exec's memory. In his case, I found all the individual files and registry settings needed for ClearVuePDF to run and he copied those to the device. Runs perfectly for him like that.
So I'm afraid you'll have to find somebody with the o2 version of GPSMonitor installed and get them to determine all the files/locations and registry-settings needed to get it to run. Unfortunately I don't have a GPRS connection or GPRSMonitor installed.
Just a thought. Have you yet tried a full o2 Personal mode install on your device? It just might be this action that puts 'something' in memory that is not cleared by a hard-reset, and that 'something' might be what the install program is looking for.
Sorry that I can't be more helpful.

No problem thanks for your help

I did a basic install and I get the same error. Sorry, Not much help though.

Me too. The ClearVuew PDF reader is rubbish! Text misalighed all over - Adobe with pixel doubling is better than this.

Please try this
Could one of you having a problem to install the o2 supplied GPRSMonitor, please try installing the attached .CAB after copying it to your device.
This CAB is extracted from the CD-ROM install program, so hopefully skips the validation stuff. With luck you might be able to get around the failed validation by installing from this CAB.
Note: Even if asked to install to Storage Card, the o2 supplied version (2.3.0 build 600) puts very little there, most goes into device memory. The current version 2.41 from spb will obey the instruction to install to SD-Card, but wasn't reliable when run from there - the monitoring part aborted four times in 10-minutes whilst I was playing with it.
Unfortunately, since I don't have the install problem, I can't test this install out.

It works a treat. Thanks muchly!

Am I glad about that - I was in the midst of trying to locate all the files/registry entries needed for a manual install.
Perhaps I can go to bed now! :wink:

I also managed to 'locate' another copy and it works fine, thanks for all the help.

I can confirm this but with other files. After several hard resets (even with the clear storage icon), the pictures I had taken were still there.

Ouch! I didn't realsie it was as bad as that.
The situation is made worse by the backup program I'm using (Sunnysoft Backup Manager) not backing up all the data and settings. Neither does it perform a true restore - just merges the backup with what's there after the hard-reset.
Unfortunately, I'm used to HP's backup applet from the Jornada 928; which performed a total backup/flush restore. Are there any other applets for WM5/universal that really performs a full backup/restore?

Does anyone have this cab please? I have just bought a new O2 exec and am having the same problem with it saying my ROM version is too old!!

sorry ignore that post! Work computer blocked the file out

I am running my XDA EXEC in basic mode. When I tried copying the .cab file to my device and running it from there , still get the problem.
Any suggestions ?
I was running personal mode then switched to basic mode, could this cause the problem.
Thanks for you replies in advance.

Cannot remove GPRS monotr app
I installed this file to test it out om M3000. Unfortuntely I cannot seem to uninstall it now! It doesnt show up in my Program list - How do you uninstall it?
I looked in the \\windows folder and removed all files and shoretcuts I could find, but its still showing up on my 'today' screen with an error.
Any ideas? The registry?
Cheers
rob

Linuxgeek:
I was also getting the ROM version problem installing programs to my SD card on my O2 exec. Since I'd only just added the card and was running the basic installation, I did the following:
1) Hard reset
2) Personal Install
3) Re-install ActiveSync on PC
This did the trick. Thankfully I like the Personal install best anyway, but I don't know if that step was necessary.

Tried it. Still get the problem :-(

My mistake - I managed to install the Clearvue PDF program, not the GPRS monitor program. I'm still getting the ROM version error with the GPRS monitor program, but I've not tried the above download yet.

Anyone got any other ideas to fix this problem.
Shame O2 don't have an update to fix this problem on their website.

I've now tried the CAB posted above by astage and I can confirm it worked for me. Just copy the CAB to your device and then open it to start the install.

Opera for Pocket PC Beta 2 & New JasJar Firmware

Dear All
It appears that there is an incompatability between the new JasJar firmware and the latest release of Opera.
The address bar is using the incorrect font and it appears as Wingdings!
The button text is also the same.
Can anyone else confirm this please?
Regards
JB

This has been discussed in the Opera beta tester forums..
You'll find it at the download page of Opera..

I tried the solution with Tweaks 2k2, but it did not work.
I changed the system font to Courier and the font displayed properly in Opera, but when I changed back to Tahoma, and Opera started displaying Wingdings again.
Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong?
I am running the newest ROM on my JasJar (released a few days ago) and the beta 2 version of Opera is running from the storage card.
Previously I was running the hacked Treo verson of Opera which also was displaying wingdings with the new ROM.

If you had searched, you should have found this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43624

Actually I searched "Opera Wingdings" and found this thread. I would suggest that similar threads be merged. :shock:
Both of the first 2 solutions work if I want to use Courier New, but they do not work for me when I change back to Tahoma.
However, copying Verdana.ttf from my desktop to the \Windows folder on the JasJar, and then a software-initiated soft reset solved the problem.
Thanks for linking me to the thread.

When running the cab it gives me;
Failed to install aria htc x.cab
This is on Prophet (Qtek S200) Anyone else seen this error?
kind regards
marl
Edit, downloaded again, works fine now, thx for the cab

Any ideas if this is possible to be mapped to a hard button.....like the ok button on the 750v?
Thanks

I have tried three times on my TyTn but every time the cab file fails to install. I downloaded the zip file, renamed it and put in in my SD card. When installing I got the message Cound not install etc.
Any help available?

I'd suggest you to have a look to the device and try to find out if there is no left files from the former installation.
I've struggled time ago with such Resco things. Maybe it's the same issue.

It's only for Pocket PC PE, or it be useful for WM 5.0 Smartphone Edition?
I have a Qtek 8310. ¿Can I use this taskmanager?
Thanks

Urgent Problem, Blue Angel Freezes

I upgraded my Blueangel to windows mobile 6 a couple of days ago, yesterday i was reset it. when it powered on i have the windows mobile 6 screen and nothings happens thereafter, it is not connection to activesync and i m not able to ROM Upgrade.
Please help me ASAP

read the wiki carefully
try a hard reset after and do the no+yes+yes ritual in the hard reset.. it should worked...
regards
adri

baybe it is because third party software you installed, it happened to me with the touchflo which replaced the touch.dll with another one for another device, also with HTC Plus today plugin

I had it after installing VBAR... you have to reset it and press the record and camera button, then clear the registry HIVE and press the mail button... it will be hard resetted but in wm6 you don't lose any data, just some settings and cabs...

Yeah, I got this problem too a few days ago.. annoying...
When I tried to back up my data using Sunnysoft backup manager, BA had to restart, and then it stuck in the WM6 page... ended up clearing the whole thing again using the no yes yes option...BA was able to start up on safe mode though... weird
I only had this problem once though....
Hmmm, interesting few people have this problems with different circumstances, however leading to the same problem...
is it really WM6 issue or is it 3rd party apps issue?

good question!
it just happened to me as well.... i had an almost fresh install of WM2006 (just downgraded, merged Extrom and upgraded again).
I installed some few cabs and eventhough it worked fine for a day, it then started to freeze while booting again and again....
i never had the problem before merging the rom though...

it happened to me also, after doing a soft reset using pbar. it ends up in the green screen with the microsoft logo without going any further. i've tried several soft resets after but it always ends up in that mode.
had to perform a hard reset and install my favorite apps again.

well maybe there are some incompatiblityes with those programs you mentioned, i have not use them my BA has the default apps (the posted cabs) Sprite Backup 6, Htc Home 1.5, Adobe Flash Lite and i have no problems at all

have you installed all cabs you posted (cabs & cabs2)?
in what order?
whats Sprite Backup?
and which one is the HTC Home 1.5? (i only see HTC Home6?!?)
sorry, but i am really getting more and more confused...
regards,krz

Sprite backup is the best backup softweare IMO, yes all cabs (cabs and cabs2) Home6 is HTC Home 1.5

thank you very much for your answer, xplode!
there are three HTC HOME6 cabs out there:
1) Helmi HomePlug_Comp.cab: found in Helmi_C's WM2006 archive FLASH.zip
2) Helmi_HtcHome6_WM5_comp_sdkcert.cab: found in Helmi_C's WM2006 archive AddOn.rar
3) HOME6: an archive with two folders (WM5 + WM6) and HTCHome.cab
are there any differences?
is one better than the others?
i never found an answer to these questions...

Use Home6 if you want to be able to modify the HTC Home tabs from 6 (default) to less than 6..... this is the only one working....
With Helmi_HTCHome6.. it also works, but cannot modify the tabs......
never tried the other one....

OK OK I had this problem and it solved it without losing data. First i tried to reset the device , like 30 times with no success. Even with a hard reset it didnt work. So you just Put ur device in the booloader mode and then soft reset it and voila. i dont know if it's really the correct solution but it worked for me for 3 times when i had that dumb WM6 screen. It's because of Battery status software ( 100% sure )

Can anyone tell us which third parties programs that cause the freezing or which are compatible whit WM6. To used or avoid them.

Hi,
same problem here. I just installed the cabs from helmi (Thanks again!), the HTC Home (Helmi_HtcHome6_WM5_comp_sdkcert.cab), Acrobat reader and powerpoint (out of this cabs in the first message in the central BA6 Thread) and no additional software. I've re-installed it two times, but that doesn't help .
@ Xeon: Maybe a good work-around, I will give him a try,
UPDATE: @ XEON: Doesn't work for me
regards
Andreas

OK im again facing the same problem it seems my solution didnt work. As far as it seems to, i had to soft/hard reset more than 20 times to solve it. i dont get it. when i reset it the problem is still bla bla bla.. but when u leave it stuck for 10 mins and then reset it , it will work. the point is that after all , u dont need to format/clear registry. All u need is to keep trying. WEIRD [email protected]#[email protected]$#$

I keep having the problem after installing a new cab with a soft reset. The only way to get out of the WM6 screen is to go into bootloader and a soft reset. Just like Xeon said. However, I don't think it is the battery issue because if I just do a normal soft reset, it starts up fine. The problem arrives only when a soft reset is required to finish an installation from cab.

Changing default Browser to new Opera

Hi,
Couldn't find the answer with search...
Just installed then latest version (beta) of Opera and it's quicker.
How can I make this default browser when using the TF3D tab and TF3D favorites.
(I have clicked the 'use as default button' within the Opera menu, but it doesn't work?
Any ideas?
Thanks

I am looking for this solution as well, I think we have to play with registry, but I don't know how.
Any advice from anyone ??

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\EFBROWSER\
Value 0="Opera"
Value 1="xxxxx"
xxxxx = Location of opera.exe
It should do the trick!

Im running what I guess is latest opera 2128 and its at least 3 times faster than 1938 which came in my ROM.
The rotation function works flawlessly 98% of the time.
That annoying bug that brought up the phone display is gone.
Well what I did was uninstall the Opera that came with ROM using normal procedure then I just installed the New Opera and soft reset and it linked to the TF3D launcher automatically.
I didn't touch the registry at all.
I don't remember if when prompted to install on Internal or Device what did I choose. I believe I choosed Internal Storage.
I provide you with the .cab I used. LINK.
Greetings to all.

Woow I don't know on my ROM it appears on the uninstall list.
Maybe try installing and you will get the overwrite option.

This is my probelm also
THere are no opera on the remove program list...
And I already install the 9.5 opera (beta) from www.opera.com
If someone solve the problem, please share with us, HOW?? thanks
Cheers

Installing the CAB file for Opera v9.5 2128 will first REMOVE three old files: Opera 9/OperaL/OperaPreL and then install the new files under the same names Opera 9/OperaL/OperaPreL. No need to update the registry because the same file name (OperaL) is used in HKLM.
Jus to be recoverable, I renamed the original Opera 9/OperaL/OperaPreL (1938) to Opera 9 (o)/OperaL(o)/OperaPreL(o) and save them in the Internal Storage.
Opera was NOT listed in the original All Settings->Remove Programs. The CAB file for v9.5/2128 deployed and updated Opera to v9.5, but it doesn't generate Opera in the list of Remove Programs either.
The beta version is indeed sensibly faster, but some white frames/text boxes are present during screen transitions, which will need to be removed in the final version. I am keeping Opera v9.5 in presence of such minor flaws because it is more responsive and faster.

Sorry Marios96, I have tried this registry trick after installing Opera (beta from there website) to the "Internal Storage" , but whenever I am clicking on the Browser icon in the Internet tab, it is keep opening the old one (as I have just installed the new version because there wasn't any option to uninstall the old one).
I have even soft-reset the PPC as well but no joy.
Any other trick ???

When you click on/install the CAB file that was copied over to your Internal storage, you were asked whether you agree to remove the old version of Opera. The old versions (again, for three files listed above) of Opera will be removed after you answered "yes" and the new versions under the same file names will be copied over. Because the file names are the same, the registry values are kept unchanged. Are you sure you are still using the old version after installing the new version? What did Opera say in Help->About Opera? I am seeing Version: 9.5; Build: 2128... And I did feel the speed

I have tried to install the Beta from Opera website, during the installation it DID NOT ask to remove the previous version, just simply installed on the Internal Storage.
But once I have tried to installed the "Sergio PC - Post 4" attached Cabit DID asked me to remove the previous version, and I said yes, but at the end of the installation it said "Installation Unsuccessfull".
Help required in this issue, as 9.5 is really faster than the pre-installed one.

Sid

What about if I will take the 3 files backup, and then overwrite the new version EXE's into the windows folder, obviously with the same name ????
What do think guys ??
