Problem with PocketCM keyboard - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

When PocketCM keyboard 9 was done installing, I tried to load it and it says" This version of pcmKeyboard can't be run after 09/15/2007. Please go to http://www.pocketcm.com to get an updated version."
So I go to the site and re-install the program and I get the same message.
Does any one have the same problem? or
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thanks,
Michael

Yeah Me too..Why?

anyone???
have a solution to this?
thanks.

I change the date to solve it..

There
Must be another way to do fix. Changing the date wold be annoying.=/

Yeah it would be anoying

Did you completely uninstall previous version before installing it?

I uninstalled the previous version and reinstaled v0.9 and still the same message. On the PCM site it says "Please note however: it's currently a time limited test release, you'll have to update after 10/01/2007 with a newer version." Looks like the kill date might have been programed in wrong? I even tried installing v0.8 and got the same message however.

I don't think so, as quite a few people are using it absolutely OK (including me). Maybe you'd be better off posting this on the developer's website forum?
http://pocketcm.com/phorum/index.php?9
or in the PCM Keyboard thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321712
just in case this thread doesn't catch Tene's attention
Hope you get this sorted out.

just a quick fix... temporary only!
set your date before 9/15/07 or day 15 or 14. then install sipchange. select pocketcm keyboard from sipchange. set date to present.

Uninstall, soft reset, check that pcmkeyboard.dll doesn't exist.
Install 0.9b (just published), to make sure you're running 0.9b check in the option dialog the version number. (if no version number appear, it's not 0.9b)
Should be fine until 10/01/07
If you're limited to 09/15 it's definitely that you got a previous release.

I tried this, but can't remove the pcmkeyboard.dll file....

well after reset, and installing 0.9b it apperently wasn't needed. It works again now!
thanks

I wonder, why all versions of PCM Keyboard apparently are timebombed in the first place. I haven't seen this very often - if at all - here at xda-developers. I think, updating should be an option, not forced.

Blank screen of writing a new text message on 818pro

Blank screen of writing a new text message on 818pro.
Is there anyone can help? There will have no problem after hard reset, it seems one of the programs causes this problem. But does anyone know the reason? Is it memory insufficient?

This reminds me of something yes. Could you please do these things and reply with answers to my questions ?
a) How much space do you have remaining on your device (how much free ram) ?
b) Go to Start -> Settings -> Installed Software or hows it called (the place where you see what software is installed) and tell me if the list is still there. Do you see your installed programms in the list or is it empty ?

c) Can you uninstall or install new software ? Please test with some small CAB file on your device.

Hello Spatzm,
Thanks for your reply.
a) 23.85MB RAM left
b) ce-star suite v2.8 r2a
c) yes, i can uninstall and install new software.
--> this problem exists right after I sync the data and then press soft reset button. Is this the point? because whenever I press reset button, the SMS I wrote disappear even my pda has been just done a hardreset.

Anyway, I can't find it from "Remove program". Tks.

Probably a ROM issue then. If you recall my reply above with the few questions. I initially had in mind that you might run into the security stuff (certification messup) issue but this is not the case.

You have the answer right there. The registry is only written back periodically. After doing any changes you should not quickly follow up with a soft reset otherwise any new information will be lost. At the very least switch off and on again before doing a soft reset. This is not a ROM fault it is simply that writes to the registry are not carried out immediately.

Hello Mike,
Thanks alot for your explaination. The data cannot be written immediately, so that should not press soft reset button right after a SMS (text msg) is written. This question is answered well.
However. My main problem is why the SMS writing page became blank and never recover until a hardreset? I had this problem after sync PIM and then pressed soft reset button.
scott4, nice to meet u Do u come from HK?
I have the same problem before...
At that time , I used AKU2.? (forget XD) and ce-star too!!!
After hard reset for about a week.....the problem will appear again= =
SO i always reset -> blank -> reset -> blank -> loop....
until I upgrade my 818pro to 2.3, ...
and I don't use ce-star again....since it always hang= =
firstly i use monster chinese...but i found that the font is very ugly.....
so at last , i don't use monster chinese anymore, I only copy mingliu font from my winXP, and edit the registry to let my 818pro can read chinese....
Also , I download the Chinese input method from monster website, but without using monster XDDD
I don't know it's the problem of AKU? or ce-star? or just i'm very lucky.......
I want to upgrade to AKU3.3 too!!! many people say that it's very fast when you compare 3.3 to 2.3.........i wanna try it~>< But now....I'm afraid the SMS blank problem will appear again= =XD
it's the problem of cestar, i used to have the same problem with cestar installed, after uninstall it the problem was gone

Be careful, read before installing new Opera 9.5-15529 (embedded flash working)

just for info... thread exists already in the "applications area"

Edit: This opera version seems to have other severe issues thought (see next two posts), so be careful/do a backup before installing.... especially as it seems to be not un-installable
I have the problem, that the screen does not auto-rotate in this version!?
Is there any setting for that? Or another version, that works with screen-rotation on the HD?

I have more than one issue with that build... first of all, the installation finished with "unsuccessful" report, but the new version was installed anyway (but maybe not correctly (?))... i've got the following issues:
1.) The one above, auto screen rotation doesn't work... could be solved with gsen or gyrator however, i suppose
2.) Opera always starts automatically after each soft reset, I haven't found any registry or autostart entries on that
3.) I don't know how to uninstall it, as it's not listed in the "installed programs" list...
Any solutions for these issues?

Swype 3.9 won't stay selected

Good morning

Have you selected it from the keyboard screen? I have both Swype and SlideIT installed and I just choose between which one I want to use via the keyboard button when texting/e-mailing/web browsing. And it stays selected, give it a go.
If not, try to uninstal and reinstall?

Ah never noticed the upwards facing arrow before to select different keyboards (stupid me). Once I select swype it says "Open of English US failed!". Once i click on okay the phone goes really slow and the swype logo is in the bottom but no keyboard is shown. If I press on the swype logo nothing appears. Any suggestions on how to load the US keyboard or preferably the UK one?

That happened when I deleted Swype from my Energy ROM, I am guessing it is displaying it because it doesn't have the language pack installed.
Uninstall and reinstall see if it helps.

Do you get an error when you soft reset? I had an issue about a language pack pop up before WM had even loaded when I managed to mangle my copy of Swype.
yeah still getting the error when I soft reset. I'm assuming that a hard reset is in order then?

It shouldn't be, as you're on an offcial ROM, if it was cooked in as mine was that would be the way to go. You should be able to uninstall and you're good to go. But I suppose if you can't seem to get rid of it it might be the only suggestion I have.
However don't just take my word for it, I am sure someone else must be able to help you.
I would however suggest giving Dasur SlideIT a go, you can try the demo or buy the full version for $8/£5. http://www.dasur.co.il/Product/SlideIT/WindowsMobile/download.php Imo it's a much better keyboard, takes a bit if getting used to but I love it now.
well I've been putting off trying new roms because I needed to backup, so I think I will backup and try a cooked rom and see if I can get swype to work and will also try SlideIT

If you're gonna hardreset you might as well flash a custom ROM while you're at it for sure.
If youre using swype from a cooked rom i would of thought it would run ok but Swype as good as it is does have probs (v2.0, 3.9 that is). Its a common prob in regards to the us dictionary error and functions not running properly like pressing a key for the alternate character not working.
I use slideIT and swype from the Omnia, works much better, faster, sure they keys are a bit smaller but the press for alternate character always works etc.

I tested it on my HTC Wildfire. If someone test, please write if it works.
Isn't this warez?
EDIT: Tested, works for a few seconds, then FCes. Would be great if it worked, as I don't think the official Swype supports QVGA. What is LS fix?
Tattoo has a QVGA resolution, I tested it on Wildfire in the official version does not work landscape mode.
LS = Landscape
If on (tattoo) the official version works in landscape mode please delete the topic.
Well, your version doesn't appear to work at all...
Where can I get the original version to test? From market?
sadly i tried it and it force closes

Like title says: WP7.8 is out, has anyone gotten an update, without installing via cabsender?
The important question is if there are any oem updates out, and if there are if anyone can capture their urls.
Edit: my install history: shipped with 7720 -> manually updated to 8773 -> manually updated to 8858, it installs and seems to be working fine with 7720 drivers.
Need to test more thoroughly though, but it installed and boots.

Tried updating using the force update method, Zune came back with "Update ready for 7.10.8779.8", which I tried to update to, but then during the backup the update failed. I'm pretty sure the 7.10.8779.8 is a Nokia only update, but I am not sure.
Will try updating again over the next few days, see what happens.

8779 is a generic update, and it always has been.
It was simply not released widely and noone bothered to leak the update urls.
You have to upgrade though 8779 to get to 8858, everyone that recieved updates to 8858 did so

Hi Manii, in Windows Phone 7.8, you're able to save a contact with
Mobile
Home
Home 2
Work
Work 2
Company
Pager
Home fax
Work fax
However, on Windows 8 you have one more field: Mobile 2. The shortcoming from Windows 7.8 is, once one of my friend has more than 1 number, I will have to store the second one as "Home", not "Mobile 2" and this number can not be texted directly (SMS).
We can workaround it, however stock support is better for sure!

You're right about that: I can confirm that mobile 2 is strangely missing, WP7 itself simply does not support it.
You can add "mobile 2" via the win8 people app or the the people section of live.com and it simply does not appear.
MS/Live accounts simply are not able to handle custom labels on fields period, if you're like me and use gApps as your primary account source and have custom labels: they simply do not appear at all via live connected apps (wp7/win8/live.com).
You would need either to be less descriptive or have multiple entries to replicate the same thing via live accounts.
You cant even manually create a "mobile 2" label and expect it to show up under wp7.
You would need to completely bypass live accounts to add custom fields, it's an inherent limitation of live.
That or live with the fact you would simply have no way of syncing at least that to live.

And installed using CAB Sender (for instructions on using it, look at this post).
Then, did the same for two other update packs.
Second one:

Of course, if you use other language than English (US), you will need other lang packs from each update as well (notice *lang_0409* in package names here).
After installing 3rd update pack, you will be successfully running Windows Phone 7.8.
Good luck!

If you're already on Tango (8773), just download these CABs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37384687&postcount=1478, repeating procedure separately for each update pack. Actually, I always used English (US) language, so downloaded only corresponding packages:
For first update downloaded:

Will this work for DVP TMO-US. I am currently at 7.10.7720.68? Thanks

You would need either to be less descriptive or have multiple entries to replicate the same thing via live accounts.
You cant even manually create a "mobile 2" label and expect it to show up under wp7.
You would need to completely bypass live accounts to add custom fields, it's an inherent limitation of live.
That or live with the fact you would simply have no way of syncing at least that to live.

ya it works, I got my Tmobile DVP up using the cab sender method to 7.8.
Someone wanna comment on the firmware for the bootloader/radio etc?
Here are my Specs:
OS: 7.10.8858.136
Firmware: 2250.1800.7720.219
Hardware: 112.576.2.0
Radio: 2.2.50.18
Bootloader: 7.27.1.0
To be honest I feel that 7.8 made the device slower for me. 7.5 Mango was much faster. Just my experience.
