Is anyone else having issues installing software onto the phone?
I have tried to push Agile Messenger (as no MSN) and Spb PocketPlus onto the device but hit issues:-
If I execute from the laptop, as I used to do with the M2000, it does not seem to push the files into the phone - looks like it is but they do not appear anywhere.
If I drop the files onto the phone and try to run them from the phone it seems to have a default message saying "....is not a valid Pocket PC application", even though they clearly are, and stops considering even trying to open them.
Am I doing something wrong, or can anyone offer advice before I lob this thing in the bin? Getting very annoyed.
Plus it has awful icons down the side and looks less like a Pocket PC and more the girlfriend's Samsung - I hate Orange. How do I get rid of these?
Please help - my blood pressure is going through the roof :lol:
Have you downloaded Agile Messenger for WM5 - beta. If not there is a huge thread on it
Hiya,
Yes I have tried that and it tells me that this is not a valid Pocket PC app.
Just spoken to Orange Level 2 tech support - they are not providing direct support for the phone other than it works with the SIM card and can get to Orange World - I need to speak to Microsoft apparently
It's a Windows executable you run it on your PC :roll:
The icons down the side are a today plugin. You should be able to untick the orange homescreen plugin.
Ok - I'm happier now.
Embarrassed to say that I had not realised I needed to reset the phone after launching apps. On the Blue Angel it did it as it transferred. With my TyTn it seems to need to restart before things take action.
Cheers guys, thanks a lot.
Hi everyone,
I've been reading the forum for a while but haven't posted until now. I've got an SPV M3100 and have applied a few of the Registry hacks on the wiki including the Wireless today plugin. I was randomly looking around for a couple of other things and came across this photo, which appears to show a modified Wireless plugin running on a Treo 700w.
Does anyone know if the existing plugin can be modified through the Registry to display all the relevant information on 1 line like the Palm one? Or do Palm have a modified version of the DLL which powers the plugin?

Palm has difrend dll for that plugin, and as far as i know it is not yet ported for all other WM devices
That's the Diallookup plugin(which include the two wireless and bluetooth icon) and occupies two lines.. The icons cannot work but the lookup works fine(looking through phone memory but not sim).. I managed to get rid of the useless icons but it stills occupies two lines... pm me if you still want it..
Hi guys,
Recently i have just purchased a brand new I-MATE jamin...i have been using it for over a week and have noticed a few things...
In the instructions manual it makes reference to some additional programs such as "skype" , "smart dialer" and "clearVUE pdf reader"....however when i recieved my phone, it did not come with these applications....any suggestions?
Also i have noticed that the included battery only lasts for MAX of 1 and a half days of normal usage...i dont use WIFI or BLUETOOTH often...just mainly use it as a phone..also the screen brightness is adjusted to the 2nd lowest scale...is the battery use normal ??? Also is it safe to buy one of those after market batteries from ebay as use it as a secondary battery????
Also i have read from various sources that the ROM of the jamin can be upgraded, although i have no idea how to do so..can anyone point me in the right direction? At the moment the specs of my JAMin are:
Rom version: 2.13.9.23 WWE
ROM date: 2/23/06
Radio version: 1_02.20.21
Protocol version: 4.1.13.9
IPL: 2.13.0001
SPL: 2.13.0001
I have no clue as to what the numbers mean except for the ROM...can anyone please tell me what the other numbers such as IPL and SPL mean? Also can anyone suggest any ROMs??
Sorry for so many questions...i am truly a noob with a JAMin...
thanks guys
YOU NEED TO DO A LITTLE MORE READING AND A LITTLE LESS ASKING
just kidding.... welcome to the forum... No n00b bashing from me...
coz then I'd have to bash myself too
1. You can download skype from the skype website - try it if you have friends that use skype.
I haven't bothered as it takes a lot of CPU, and I think it can only use the headset or the speaker on the back of the phone.
You can download clearvue pdf reader, but I prefer adobe reader lite...
smartdial AFAIK is just what happens when you are typing a number to call, and the phone picks out matching contacts before you finish typing.
2. yeah, battery is lame. Go and live next door to a mobile phone transmitter, that will help
Seriously a lot of people get a spare battery, you could try underclocking the phone using "batterystatus", but then you will lose speed.
Make sure you have the power setting to turn off when not used (it still receives calls)
3. yes you can upgrade wm6 is shiny and new but there are bugs reported in pretty much every WM6 ROM so far.

this is the bootloader, this runs before Windows loads up.
Sometimes if there is a problem upgrading you can fix it by writing a new ROM in bootloader mode
from the wiki
(http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Prophet)
[one of the] ways to enter the bootloader on the Prophet:
Hold down the camera button and reset the device. (Boot Loader Mode is: Press Camera + Soft Reset, then release soft reset and keep pressing camera button till appear the Boot Loader.)
This will start the bootloader, and red/green/blue colour bands will be displayed on the device.
Once the colour bands are displayed you can connect to the device via USB.

THanks for the reply triplejay,
As far as i know, my JAMin doesn't come with smartdialer at all!!! When i dial numbers, it doesnt match any of them before i finish typing!! Could this be due to the version of my ROM??
Also with regards to ROMs, is it better to upgrade to a newer ORIGINAL ROM (ie. a ROM date is made by I-MATE) or should I upgrade to one of the "aftermarket ROMs found on this website?

well, if you depend on your phone for work or anything, I'd suggest sticking with an official ROM for now. If you don't mind the odd bug*, then join the "aftermarket" club!
*e.g. bluetooth stereo headsets work with good quality on the newest ROMS, however every time I reset the phone I have to re-pair the headset with it.
Internet works well, good integration of Windows Live, however, sometimes after a reset I have to re-confirm the internet settings for it to work.
Those are the only two I've experienced with this ROM (TNT)
You might want to wait a bit, newer ROMS are coming I think, maybe without these bugs...
I attach an example of my today screen on WM6
Hi triple jay,
Your today screen looks totally different to mine...mine is still the original WM 5.0 screen...just wondering, did you make your today screen look like that by just installing the TNT ROM? Or do you have any other programs installed such as WISBAR..
Also after a week of use, i have noticed the BACK SPEAKER of my JAMin to distort occassionally when playing ringtones (set on the HIGHEST sound level)...is my speaker faulty???
Thanks for your help mate
Hi,
1. The lack of application could be due to lack of customization on your unit and it is just a generic wm5 rom. I would suggest a hard reset (not soft but hard reset) , then press the green send button to erase all the data on your handset. Then wait around 3 seconds after the reboot has finished and customization will commence.
2. The speaker most certainly sounds like it has problems, quite common and it will probably fail. They are cheap to purchase off ebay however installation is quite a bit of work.
Hi, regarding my today screen; no Wisbar, I just have Batterystatus installed, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=270751,
that's the bottom line u can see there
the rest came with the TNT ROM
The bit above batterystatus where it says "sync" is windows live,
then above that is the htc homeplug (part of the ROM) with custom icons (not made by me)!
Reading the forums, I think quite a lot of people have had troubles with the speaker...
but I just checked mine and it seems to distort a bit on the very loudest setting too, at least with MP3s.
Like grimmy said, installation of a new one is quite a bit of work though so prob. not worth it unless it dies completely....
Hi triplejay,
I have decided not to tamper around with my ROM just yet until i am familiar with the various available ROMs.
I have instead decided to install some today screen plugins such as wisbar,spb pocket plus etc etc . Do you have any suggestions of TODAY screen plugins that don't slow my JAMin down? I have heard that SPB slows the JAMin down and also has some program compatibility issues.
Thanks
Before I updated my ROM I used to use SPB mobile shell, and SPB pocket plus.
There's no denying they take up a lot of space on your device though,
Speed wise, any slowdown seemed negligable, but then I had overclocked from day 1 so that prob. helped.
I haven't tried the latest wisbar, but the older versions I did try seemed quite good. Might try the new version out actually.
There are some freeware alternatives;
claunch is an older one
http://home.pacific.net.sg/~welic/claunch.html
https://sourceforge.net/projects/claunch/
rltoday is pretty cool
http://rotlaus-software.de/
lots of good user made skins on their site
http://rotlaus-software.de/forum/viewforum.php?id=5
I listen to a lot of music so the other thing I used to use was a plug-in that showed media player on the today screen,
e.g. the one at the bottom of this post or the newer HTC one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1318018&postcount=14

Hi triplejay,
In regards to using SPB mobile shell, and SPB pocket plus, did you install these programs into your JAMin's phone storage memory or on the SD card? I have heard that installing programs into the phone's SD card causes the programs to run slower because the phone needs time to access the programs..and also how did these programs affect your memory?? used up alot of memory ?? Also would I still be able to set my own today backgrounds using these programs or can i only use the themes designed for these programs???
thanks for your help, your posts have been a lot of help to a newbie like myself

no problem
I don't think SPB mobile shell gives the option to install to SD card, it's possible with Pocket Plus but not recommended, even by SPB.
I remember reading the following on the SPB site,
and after that always installing stuff that involves the today screen or system to main storage...
We strongly recommend that you not install Spb Pocket Plus to a storage card because storage card drivers can be loaded with up to a 5 second delay after system restart and important files will not be available for loading. One other reason is that Spb Pocket Plus is a system utility and some of its components run in the background. If you remove the storage card Spb Pocket Plus will not be able to load its resources.

...so the space they take up, is on the device and yes it is a fair amount of memory, maybe a fifth of available memory or something... (not sure)
you should be able to use your own pic for the background with all these I think,
the SPB extended themes for example, will set new system colours etc, with a matching background that you can change as normal.
Hi triplejay,
I have downloaded the trial versions of both SPB pocket plus and mobile shell and will install tonight and let you know how it goes...
Although i still have a couple of questions...
Backup programs such as SKTOOLS or sprite backup...should these be installed into the phone's SD card or the phone's memory ?? Also where should i install games????
Also does anyone know the date of the newest official ROM for the imate JAMin?? I have searched the imate site to no avail...
thanks guys
hey, JAMinGUY,
about the latest imate ROM, I wouldn't know, but looking at this blog post from menneisyys;
http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/in..._finding_identifying_the&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
and then checking ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/
leads me to believe that the newest available is :
ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/JAMin_WWE_213923_2139123_022021_ship.zip
Could be wrong, just seems to make sense...
I would say definitely put games on the SD card, I've got my backup program (SPB backup) installed on SD too...
the only thing that I would be unsure of is SKtools, but it doesn't seem to run at startup, or run in the background,
so i would say it's probably OK to install to card as well.
...Unless if you did something like ran it off the card, then used it to format the card your running it off. That probably wouldn't be good, lol.
hey guys,
i have been using SPB POCKET PLUS AND SPB MOBILE SHELL (both installed in system memory) for a week now and have noticed some things....
the phone seems slower to respond to screen taps...and also when i lock the phone, sometimes i can't unlock it...i need to soft reset it....
triplejay, do u know of any programs similar to SPB POCKET PLUS that dont have these freezing issues???
cheers mate

unfortunately not really ...
if u haven't already tried rltoday though, that could be worth a go.
Resco explorer comes with a today plugin, but it's a bit gay, just a few icons, but resco explorer itself is quite good, try the demo if u havent already....
and a couple of threads below this one you will find the htc homeplug (for wm5), personally that homeplug together with batterystatus have filled all my own shortcut related needs....
A lot of Windows Mobile users have been asking for answering machines for years. While it has long been available on competing mobile smartphone platforms (for example, Smart Answer for the S60), for Windows Mobile, so far, there wasn't a generic one - that is, one that wasn't shipped along with a specific Pocket PC model only.
Now, this seems to be changing: the first "real" answering machine has been released for WM Pocket PC's.
iSecretary is one really nice working answering machine for Your Windows Mobile Pocket PC.
Features:
- Lifts the handset automatically when the preset time expires.
- Plays the file to the caller.
- Records your caller's message within the limits of preset time and hangs up.
- Contact list filter (choose an individual wav for each contact or group of contacts).
- Ignore list.
- Compatible with speakerphone (for PDA which can not work with signal in line).
- Autoload after SoftReset.
- Speakerphone volume control.
- Microphone control (its work with some PDA, For example: ASUS P525).
- Black list, reject ringing (filtering by phone number).
- Notify system.
- Task bar icon.
- Events system, send sms or voice message by rules.
- Emulate sound around you.
Found this on:
http://www.freewareppc.com/communication/isecretary.shtml
Before everyone starts asking this is from the site... I wish my device worked. (TyTN)
Tested devices on this moment (fully support):
ASUS P525, DOPOD M700, ASUS P535, ASUS P735, HTC Wizard, HTC Touch, I-Mate Jam, Rover E5, I-MATE JASJAR, Eten M600+, E-TEN G500, Toshiba Portege g900.
Tested devices on this moment (half support, outgoing message problem or some other problems):
E-TEN X500, ASUS P526, E-TEN M700, HTC TYNT, TYNTII, Vario 3, Universal, Vario 2, Orbit, Kaiser.
Thank u very much, works fine
does this means that now we have a way to record calls? It was the same problem, and now its fixed!
COOL!
turns off
isecretary turn off when we keep it on standby or power off mode...
ne solutions????
So doesn't work on the mogul?
iSecretary
I dont like it because of the hardware issues with not be able to record without speaker phone, plus this is useless if you have no signal, or turn off your phone.
The alternative that does private/unkown blocking, and allows custom messages for any caller you choose is http://www.youmail.com/.
I started using it last night with my ATT Tilt, and it integrated flawlessly with my service, I can't even tell I'm not using the default service (except that its much cooler).
As far as quick dumping calls it helps to get a firewall, seen a couple free ones around xda that look good, but since I already have spb phonesuite I just use th blacklist built into it.
Tried the latest version 4.6 on BlackStone. It did take the call. However got no greeting message. Still I continued to speak. But i didn't record (no wav file was saved).
I think recording should now be very much possible with running ICR in the background if not possible to code a custom recorder. Hopefully they can fix this.
ohh please wake up al!!
Dear al!!!
Before you try this soft. and start asking questions,I can tell u I have more win mobile handsetts,and not even the above mentioned phones are ok for this software.No flowless working yet.
I think the 4.4 version is lower than the 4.6!Even this latest works exact like S>H>I>T!Unfortunatly.
So hear my request LORD of h.a.c.k.s...Please someone who understand this winmo programms,build finally and for all a nice answering machine.On nokia the guys are already set wit the nice app.
Why we still have a lot of useless program,but no such as this what helps for sure more than hundreds of users????
thank you in the name of suffering Bill Gates haters! helios
Hi,
v4.4 is old, lock here: http://www.isecretary.net/download.php

isecretary is a good application but i am looking for a specific feature. I want the application to route calls at a specific time to answering machine and accept only calls from white list.
lets say after 12 night, i want calls to be accepted in white list while all other calls go into answering machine without even a single ring
those this do any extra charges on the phone??
Why iSecretary can’t mute the microphone of my xperia x1 and why the caller can’t hear my answer message
How can I fix this using registry or any tweak tool for windows mobile 6.1
thanks
