I started yesterday working with my new i-mate Jasjar, and, already, I am lost in so many bugs and bad issues.
1- ActiveSync 4 does not support backup/restore of the device. I know this is a "known" issue, but it is a real bad one!
2- Some programs cannot be installed at all, like SPB PocketPlus. On another hand, all task switchers (and program closers) make problems, and end up by soft resetting the device.
3- A big problem: I cannot uninstall any of the programs I installed, whether on the main memory or the storage card, whether by using ActiveSync (from the desktop), or Remove Programs (in Settings) or any third party software, like SKTools!
4- Synchronizing through ActiveSync is not always straight forward. Sometimes the device is not recognized, or, when recognized, synchronize cannot start, or, when it does start, it never ends.
Did any of you experience any of these problems?
Any suggestions, or we have to wait for a ROM upgrade ?
Spb pocketplus may not be supported by wm05?.Perhaps the next release will work though as i'm getting either the wizard or universal so I hope it does!
personally i wouldnt expect software that worked fine on windows 3.1 to work just as fine on xp.
bugs are ok, it makes the patches more anticipated, and of course, with out this kind of feedback sofware houses wouldn't always reveal the issues before software is released.

dude all of these are software (activesync and windows 5 related) none are related to jasjar...the jasjar is the most stable imate device EVER
yes there are issues between the new active sync and windows and firewall and the antivirus that you run but these are Microsofts faults not jasjars...
to answer your questions
1) this is a bummer.. i really wish they had given the option of backing up device..anywyas thats why you have ppc softwares that do backup..the one working on wm5 is sunnysoft backup..
2)most of the softwares lag behind.. wm5 is out but not all software makers have updated their products..NOTE AGAIN THIS IS NOT JASJARS FAULT..its YOURs you can wait 6 more months by then spbsoftware should have a pocketplus that works on wm5
3)dude again old applications like sktools dont work on wm5... if you want you can use pocket mechanic and memmaid ..they work fine.. for task manager i use dinarsoft handy sweitcher..not only its an excellent application but it works on wm5 aswelll...
4)you have your firewall and antivirus software and to blame for this...not jasjar..for me i had to FORMAT my laptop and install activesync before i turned on firewall and installed an antivirus program...only then did active sync work..and its flawless now.. oen word my personal experience trendmicro2002 doesnt work with AS however 2005 version of pcillin works with its personal firewall set to off...
hope i cleared up a few misconceptions for you
:lol:
Well,
1) That is annoying. I hadn't noticed that, but I'm sure it'll be addressed in future...
2) As zohaer21 says, that's purely because we have the latest, greatest bleeding edge technology, and the software developers have yet to catch up. (In the meantime, HandySwitcher is working perfectly on my device, no bugs, no crashes, just what it's meant to do!)
3) Have you tried installing anything from a .cab file to see if you still have a problem uninstalling? I'd guess ActiveSync is probably your problem...
4) Can't really help there...I'd suggest removing Activesync completely from your PC and installing it again from scratch. Personally I'm not using the bundled version of ActiveSync (4.1?) because I had an old 4.0.??? already but I don't think I've heard of anyone else with that issue yet so I'd assume it's a problem with your PC installation?

no, but you'd expect software that worked on windows 2000 to work on XP. Why compare something with an 11 year gap to something with a 2 year gap?

True, but MS changed WM5 significantly from WM2003, many more changes than Windows 2000 -> Windows XP. The biggest changes were (1) persistent storage and new memory handling and (2) WM5's compatibility with MS Smartphone apps. I am not surprised a good number of apps aren't working.
By the way, SPB's PocketPlus looks like it works with WM5 because they have screen shots on their web site of it running on a Windows Mobile 5 OS. But it may just not be compatible with the JasJar yet.

It does not depend on that gap but on what they did durring that gap. If you do not change structural things, backwards compatibility can last a long time.
Actually the gap between WM2003SE and WM5 is quite large for some software developers. Notably some applications that synchronise databases (TimeTTRacker, Commontime mNotes) have to be rewritten from the ground up, even though we are only talking about a 1 year gap. Microsoft did change some crucial things, even if it does not show at first glance.
sorry, my post came across a bit bolshy. It wasn't intended.
I meant that developers would hope that they wouldn't have to re-write their apps every few years. I like the changes, because it adds more structure and makes it more of a uniform platform, but we've got to hope that they don't change these very often.
It would help if MS supplied the emulators for WM5 free of charge. (I'm yet to find any)
No worries

SPB Pocket Plus version 3 works just fine on an i-Mate JasJar. Older versions of Pocket Plus will not work on WM5 devices of any kind, so upgrade to Version 3 and you can install it on your jasJar. I'm running it on mine.
hey mat1t dont worry about it,
just dont get put deisel in a petrol car, my analogy of the issues

Correct!
It does work under WM5.0 Just make sure you are on version 3
If you are on Version 3 and still refuses to install, copy the CAB file over the device and execute/install from there.

SPB Pocket plus does install and work. I had to do a hard reset after I initially used my Jasjar and everything worked right. Like email accounts etc. What I would like to see is a program like gb tweak that keeps the gprs allways alive. But so for there is nothing out there. NO problems with my JasJar at all.

@Tekflow
Since you got a Jasjar, plz can you upload for us the Arabizer package from the Extended_Rom ?
Click Here! This is how they managed to copy it!
Thank you.

Hi all,
what is the best Antivirus for my Jam?
Is it really necessary?
I don't want to install stuff that make my jam too slow...
I wouldn't worry about it yet. I don't think there are too many viruses out there yet as there aren't too many people with pda phones or pdas on the net or constantly receiving MMS messages. Later in the future, yes.
I don't think we are there yet, either. But the latest ROM has eTrust in it, I think...
I'va installed the last WWE ROM and I've not got it... :-(
It comes on the extended rom, so if you did big storage and removed it, then naturally it's not there. Alternatively, grab it as a standalone from Club I-mate (requires an account)
Oh, and the virus database in it doesn't have a single virus so it's pretty useless at the moment. You'll be able to scan but there'll be nothing to look for!!

I stand corrected. I looked on google and found this dated 19th July so it's fairly old. BBC news of first virus.
I also went to F-Secure antivirus site, which has a pocket PC version of it's software. Turns out they have 2 virus definitions. One's the virus mentioned above, the other is called Brador and is a backdoor trojan. Neither of which have been released out in the "wild", just proof of concept viruses.
Sorry to seem misleading. I'm not panicking yet, though.
Well... in your opinion wich antivirus is the best?
And what about spyware? Is there anything for that on ppc's, or aren't there any ppc-spywares out there yet?
Was just doing a search through the forums to see what would be good for my o2 mini.
It appears antivirus isn't that important yet....
Although this thread is a few months old however so are people still of the same opinion or do most has some type of antivirus installed now?
Cheers for some new thoughts

THanks Dear, I was searching for serail no. since last month but I got it from u .Thank u very much.
Hey,
found that on the web:
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/wince/index.html
It's a pocket pc portation of a good freeware spyware scanner. Works pretty good on my Magician - although the last database update of the mobile version was in June 2007. I'm interested in what you think about it.
Greetz, Mike.
i have the new ROM and i am registered with LOGMEIN.com (a remote desktop/file tran etc site), its all free to use and it works perfectly with the universal, you can zoom in or have the desktop fit to screen (best in landscape mode), its so easy, i can connect throw our corp filewall, ive tested it connecting to XP Pro SP2 and also Server 2003, both look so good on the phone :lol:
Has anyone else tryed this site or anyone have the full account (have to pay for that) so i can see if its worth buying (not that you ever have too)
echo that, I think it's a fantastic service!
This is amazing - it even suppots duel monitors.
I agree!
It certainly made my life easier. No more USB key!
I tried the following before settling to Logmein Free:
1. GotomyPC - Excellent speed and interface but very expensive for private users.
2. WebEx - very good, slower than GotomyPC, much cheaper.
3. Logmein Pro - Identical to Logmein Free but extra features such as File Transfer, Print to local printer.
I would say even if you are fairly competent at setting up your own remote access using other software, Logmein free is still worth a look.
P.S. The place where I work has a Plasma display(Wifi connected)that needs to be changed almost on a daily basis. I do this by Logmein to my office computer and use VNC from my office computer to update it!
I discovered it a few months ago and it's fantastic. I am not decided yet on whether to upgrade to Pro, though if I did the only reason really would be the filesharing option.
VNC was my previous choice, but it's much slower - even when connecting over the local network. With logmein I can be sat on the sofa at home, controlling the PC upstairs and chatting on MSN. I've also used it from work to control the home PC. I can't believe how fast it is.
Cheers
Ant
my girlfriend uses it at wrk as msn etc and a forum she goes to is blocked, howvever she uses og me in to use or computer to use msn and go to her forums etc lol
how is this different from the remote desktop feature that is built into windows xp?

Hold on, it's free and fantastic? What's the catch??
OK, just installed it.
This folks, is FANTASTIC.
If I forget to start my downloads after I've left for work, no problems. Just log onto my PC and start the program!
Id I need a file from my PC, just log into Outlook and email it, to myself!
Wow, just WOW. And p1ss easy to set up.
Anyone know what the data throughput it - I'm gonna test it now with 3G on, instead of through Wifi - hopefully the speed will still be decent, but I don't want to be stung for huge data download charges.
EDIT: Speed via GPRS and 3G is still well usable.
What a find OP!
How do i access it using opera browser from my pda, it seems that logmein only work with IE, but is seems that there is nothing on the screen.. do i need to install java for it? where can i get this java apps..?
thxs
Hmm ja very strange, in opera and PIE I get the same message, saying "A Windows Pocket PC 2003 or newer is required...." and then asks you to download some "downgrade" CAB...which I install but it still doesnt work neither IE or Opera... Im a bit clueless what the problem is since the FAQ also doesnt mention anything about that.
Edit: Ok, after a reset of the universal it works. Speed is pretty lame over GPRS but what can you expect...its for free and its great. I can even control my Linux machine via VNC from the Windows Remote machine that I access via Logme in...Thanks a lot for that great tip!
I have used both Remote Desktop (the server is built into Windows XP PRO and Windows 2003) and LogMeIn.com.
Remote Desktop doesn't have a full screen mode.
Remote Desktop is faster. But, since my computer is behind a wireless router, I wasn't able to make it work - no matter how I configure the router, it can't connect.
So I use LogMeIn.com, the free version. It's slower but it has a full screen mode. I have absolutely no problems related to the firewall (wireless router). It just works.
Absolutely fantastic.
I use logmein pro for my 'always on' HTPC and the free version for our laptop. It is, quite simply, wonderful.
Runs well from my work network and my trusty Himalaya. I wonder if there is a way to use it to set up an activesync alternative to get around the lack of wifi support now :?:
Been using this since September last year. Awesome product and I still can't believe it's free.
excuse me, but using it with netfront 3.3 or opera 8.5 it just permit me file transfer. non desktop control!
what am i doing wrong?
i'm accessing it with a jasjar

Since you have IE on the handheld anyhoew, think of your IE exclusively as your interface for LogmeIn.

yes but from my desktop i see a lot of oppotunity to use my "controlled" pc. with NETFRONT i see just the option "file transfer". with opera after installing a specific cab i'm not allowed to connect
any hint?
that is strange but i can only think that it has something to do with the way those 2 bits of software handle ActiveX, IE is very good at it, the last person was right, just think of ~IE as your excusive logmein.com browser for remote desktop, its a hardship but somethings you have to live with :wink:
You should be aware that this service exposes you to being hacked, it uses SSL to encrypt between LOGMEIN.com & your PC & PDA but has to unencript all the data on the LOGMEIN.com server as you can't have back to back SSL connections.
Anyone hacking the server would be able to connect to your PC or PDA as if they were you.
Suggest at the very least that you don't leave an open connection & have a short timeout to a login screen on your PC.
Mike
Its a great bit of software.... I havent really played around with any other software like this, but this seems to do the job for me quite well....
i do however agree with the security issue... Yes you are opening a potential hole in your security albeit a very small one
I am using a htc touch pro. Just wondering, is it possible for the phone to be infected by virus? Earlier on there was a trojan on my pc and it stopped the pc from detecting touch pro when i connect it through usb port. it could only read as a removable drive but no longer shows me the screen that lets me choose between active sync and disk transfer. the option to let me choose is still on though, but the screen wont appear when i connect to my pc.. so, any antivirus for the phone? {p.s ive removed the trojan from my pc too}

If you would have read the question on post #1 with attention, as well as my answer to that question, you would have known, before putting me to research, that I was saying the exact thing that this Microsoft report sais:
Important: Currently, we are not aware of any viruses that can be transferred from your laptop or your desktop to your Windows Mobile-based device.

I used to have Eset... but this crap real-time scan slows down your mobile big time. You know what they say: Safe sex is bad sex.
I installed windows8 developer edition in the C drive. No other operating systems. I have updated the windows defender from windows update.
Then i made some browsing and downloaded some exe's and installed them. But now i think my pc is infected with virus. Windows defender detected few viruses and quarantined them. I deleted them. Now my pc is having few issues. It is taking a lot of time to restart. Also the recycle bin icon on the desktop is now changed to bluetooth icon. I guess my pc is virus infected.
I heard windows defender is a full fledged antivirus solution for windows8. IS it not?
Do you recommend any antivirus solutions for windows8. What should i do now.
Actually i purchased KASPERSKY ANTIVIRUS 2011 which is compatible with windows7. My subscription is upto march 2012. But my bad it is not compatible with windows8. Any solution for this one too..
Windows Defender is not AntiVirus... You want Microsoft Security Essentials or whatever their calling it now
It's all incorporated into Defender now.
We will never get Professional Security from M$.We must depend on Professional AV Providers like norton,Kaspersky.
Why were you installing random executables? If you can't use Windows without F8cking up so badly then you shouldn't be using Developer Preview. GO back to Windows 7, most AV software doesn't work with W8 anyway.

Well those "professionals" are the most expencive AV in the market.. dont know if you get a % of it.. but there are some out there completly free.
The AV industry is like politics.. there are AV to Mac OSX and there is no virus there..
there is AV in Windows Phone and there is no virus there.. is just business
MS changed many things with time. you go instal something, and you have to confirm it and alow it to acess previleges if asked for that program.
that is just the problem.
people install everything even if dont know what is it .. MS cant do mutch unless start cuting some fingers to dont alow install even after warnings.

Agree with that so much, people fail at things so hard mostly because they don't read...
SuperAntiSpyware and MalwareBytes should clean the infection up for ya, if not, try ComboFix.
i've never gone wrong with panda cloud av...and its free. i currently use it on my windows 8 m3 build 8102 x86, and it works just fine. as the tech of my friends and family...im always cleaning viruses from peoples computers, even though they have nortons, mcafee, sophos, etc...but when i uninstall them and use panda it almostr instantly finds viruses and malware the others didnt detect. i think av's are much better cloud based as you dont need to update definitions...just connect and you are protected in real time.
