Today i saw a tool for android. You save gps positions for automaticly change your profile. So you needend change your profile when you enter a libary, the office or the school.
Does anybody knows if there exist a software for ppc with windows mobile??

I would like a program that can do the following:
The main purpose is that the program should be 100% automatic and will after a easy configuration be left alone and handle GPRS to be online whenever there are GSM/GPRS available.
* Create a connection (in system/connection) automaticly from a file or something.
* With the created connection above, the program should automaticly connect. From suspend mode and after a soft reset.
Anyone knows a good program that can do this or a great programmer that can supply features like the above (and more).
Best regards
Zomen
advise
1. use ConnMgrEstablish to establish GPRS connection
2. Create a hide window to received message when the connection status changing.
3. soft reboot issue: writting a service to these or config the target device to run your app at startup time.
4. active device on suspended state mode: try API CeSetUserNotification
Hi Zomen,
I think you will need to look at Connection Manager API. It handles all low level connections on the device, including GPRS. It can be found here -
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...s/apippc/html/ppc_cnmn_connection_manager.asp
And here is an example -

Thank you for the answers but how about using RAS to make the connection?
And remember that the purpose of the application is to work on a Mobile 5 device.

hi,
Hmm, I think it should be ok to work on Mobile 5, but I have only been using 4.21 so cant be sure. However, there is a helper sample which comes with Embedded Visual C++ 4. If you have EVC4 You can find it here -
C:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\wce420\POCKET PC 2003\Samples\Mfc\Cmhelper
And there is further information here about the sample here -
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...s/guide_ppc/html/ppc_about_cmhelpersample.asp
You can use the sample to build a GPRS connection exe which will handle GPRS connections for you. At least on 4.21, havent tried on Mobile 5.
Cheers
Just sitting in a restaurant, no wifi, not connected in anyway to anywhere.. and the Activesync shows up ?!?!? Writing the correct last time I synced my device (which was this morning at home). WTF is this?
go to activesync app on the ppc
create a server source
enter a totally fictitious name and address
follow the wizard, dont select any items to sync
set the period to sync as manual for both
finish the wizard
open the options
delete the new server source
the default setting is to auto start and sync, by creating the fictitious entry it allows you to change those settings
deleting the server source retains the sync period settings

Simon,
I have done this numerous times when I had the O2 ROM. Now I have the IMate ROM, it works if I am not connected to anything, so that is good, for that is what I want. One thing I notice when I am connected through WIFI, active sync application on my Exec still opens up on the background. Are you having the same experiences with this setup or am I missing a setting here?
my active sync doesnt auto start AS at all anymore if i set the server source to sync manually, then delete the server source.
i use wifi a lot and it also doesnt start it.
there could be other reasons such as programs you have that auto update from the web when wifi is running, eg SPB weather. again, i set this to update manually.
what other programs do you have that require or use an AS or WIFI connection?

I think you are right. I forgot about Pocket Weather's update settings. Thanks.
Hi all
Does anyone know how i can disable or hide the 'Lock' icon in the 'Settings' program group??
We are rolling out a large number of Qtek9100 in our workplace and have a requirement to set a password on the devices and then disable the 'Lock' icon so that users cannot turn off password.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Why not incorporate a dummy password protect control panel, using redirect?
Check out the MSN tutorial/SDK.

Dummy Password Protect Control Panel
Hi
Thanks for the prompt reply.
Could you give me a bit more advice about a dummy password protect control panel with redirect please.
What is the url for msn tutorial/sdk??
Thanks again
if you download tweaks2k2 it will let you disable the password panel in settings to prevent your users changing the password or it can be done in the registry manually if you have the time.

Hi Rob61280
Thanks for the advice
Do you perchance know the registry setting that i would need to change to hide/disable 'lock' icon.
I think if i installed tweaks2k2 then users could use it to change the settings.
MavrickDX
I think you can unistall tweaks2k2 and the settings stay as you set them.
I'll have a look at the registry and see if there is an easy way to redirect the password applet so it doesnt function (there was a contrast applet you could enable using a similar method).
Rob
I've still not found a redirect (it may not be possible through the registry alone but i will keep looking)
there is however a useful function :-
"Enable policy restrictions (Pocket PC 2002)
Pocket PC 2002 devices includes a system policy system to prevent users from downloading and installing new programs via Pocket Internet Explorer, Inbox, File Explorer, ActiveSync or beaming between devices or renaming files.
Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\AdminPassword\
Rename the "Redirect" value to "xRedirect"
Soft reset and go to Start > Settings > System tab > Policy applet to set the policy restriction on the device."
from http://palmare.idnes.cz/PocketPC_WinCE/WinCE_Utility/tweaks020913.html
This works on wm5 as well
Rob
Redirect will not work
I Browsed to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\
then renamed password to xpassword
then softreset
this disabled the original lock applet
but
another is created in the system tab
anyone any idea how to prevent the applet from being recreated using the registry?
R
Hi Rob61280
Many thanks for all the work you have put in.
I will try the tweaks2k2 tool and see if i can hide/disable lock icon and then uninstall tweaks2k2 and see if settings hold.
And I thought PDA's were just for a bit of fun :lol: :lol:

Hey All,
I had an idea... for a long time I haven't seen a good location based rule actions program for my ppc:
1) Program can determine location by CellSite ID, Bluetooth neighbours, or WIFI available AP, Activesync connection, nearby IP detected (joined a network).
2) In response to entering/Leaving zone, software will do all kinds of stuff - backlight change, volume change, run another program...
What do you say?
Anyone want to "Pick up the glove"?

I'm pretty sure PhoneAlarm does everything that you're looking for! The Cell ID location based profiles is awesome. It can even use the GPS if you want even finer control of your location based profiles.
You can download a trial version at http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html
It's the first application I install on my device. I have profiles based on location (Cell ID), bluetooth handsfree connection, activesync connection, time of day/week, as well as "busy" status from appointments.
I have a problem with synching my HTC Wizard WM6.x *all versions*
Only 36 of the 300 adresses sync.
I know the Bluetooth support from Opel (Vauxhall) is not the best.
But how can I fix this on the WM6 side? WM6 (without PBAP works ok!)
I think I now found the cause:
Windows mobile 6.0 works ok. 6.1 does not.
The main difference (I think) is the Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP).
Is there a way to diable this in Windows Mobile 6.1 or 6.5?
Disabling PBAP support in WM 6.1
It looks like you can disable the PBAP support with a registry hack. Delete the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Obex\Services\{796135f0-f0c5-11d8-0966-0800200c9a66}] key and restart your phone. That should do it.
JimT
I think that did the trick. It took me a while to figure out how to delete this regkey. Could it be you need to disable bluetooth first, and then delete the key?
Would this also work for Windows Mobile 6.5?
Anyone have a clue how to do this on a Pantech Matrix pro. (6.1). My wife has one and the Mygig Uconnect bluetooth module in the van asks if you want to let it have access to the phonebook and I have to say no every time. If i let it connect it will always connect and it causes the phone to be really slow when first getting in the car and for a little whole longer. I did look for that registry key but I could not find it.
Any help would be great.
