BlackBerry Connect Will Not Install on Vodafone UK V1605

Followed the wiki instructions, but despite being sourced from Vodafone (Germany) for the VPA III, the software refuses to install on my V1605. The error message (translated from German) states System Software Found, the installation is not authorised.
Has anyone with a V1605 succeeded in installing BB Connect? Is this a possible clash with the Vodafone customisations or is it more likely a WM5 issue? Any suggestions gratefully received.
many thanks!
Jonathan

There is another BlackBerry connect client on the FTP, uploaded by Ice Blade and some discussion around it here.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Hermes/Tools_and_Programs/BlackBerry_Connect/
I've just updated the wiki with this info, but I haven't tried it and Ice Blade didn't reply to my question. If you try it and know the diference between the two BBConnect clients available, please update de wiki and point it out. Thanks.

Thanks! This works a treat. I will take a look at the wiki and see if there is anything substantive I can add.

wiki has been updated. Works well. I am not watching this thread so if anyone would like assistance please PM me.

blackberry connect and Lotus Notes
Hi JBN - do you know if this works with Lotus Notes and handles calender and tasks along with mail - I'd love to finally junk the blackberry and just have Hermes

ramblings
I'm afraid that I have no experience with Lotus Notes at this level. I would note however that the BlackBerry Enterprise can indeed work with Lotus Notes.
For what it's worth, my BES Administrator tells me that the same level of security functionality exists for BlackBerry Connect as for a regular BB. This makes it an interesting proposition although more difficult to support in terms of the platform compared with BlackBerry. We are slowly looking at Microsoft Push E-mail instead.
Despite the BB-like experience, including the scroll wheel, after a couple of days I have gone back to my old BB. The reason being that I am unsure about battery life and platform stability. It is OK for me as an IT professional but not something that I feel comfortable deploying to our users yet. However, I am childishly excited at having a means to get BB service in Japan!

Blackberry Connect and Calendar

I have been running Blackberry Connect for a while now on both my HTC Universal and on a TyTn (not at the same time). Whilst email works really well (using the vodafone Germany client), calendar is a different story.
Our Blackberry environment is Lotus Dominos (BES 4.0) and Calendar wireless sync has been a disaster.
Initially, the bulk calendar upload seems to have real trouble with "All Day Events" and canot represent them properly. However, once installed, everything seems to run really well. Two way sync back to teh Lotus Notes Calendar works, meetings invites in email can now be "accepted" or "declined". So far, so good....
However, when you reset the device, the whole device locks up and needs teh SIM taking out, BB Connect removing and start again!! Also, when you do this, random calendr events dissapear from your Notes calendar and meeting "declines" are often sent to the chair of the meeting!
Not good.
Hopefully BB Connect V4 will solve some of this....

Live Messenger problem

I have got the Touch yesterday. Everythings work finde except the windows live messenger getting some troubles.
Live messenger could not show any people in the ONLINE list after first time logon. I 've reconfigured my msn account, without any problem at first time.
but... the problem happened again. Any idea?

Yessssss, I haven the same problem : no contact and error message !!!!

There's a new version of the messenger client, linked on the hermes general forum.
The new client works fine.

Are you guys have a Chinese TOUCH?
I had no problem with Windows Live.
If you have an English TOUCH,
I had no problem with Windows Live either.
Now, if you have an English WM6 but loaded a Chinese OS on it, then it may or may not work (mine didn't) with Windows Live.
Windows CE just like its damn older sibling Windows, applications can run into conflicts; PAIN in the rear end.

I own a Dutch Elf, and the problem occurs here as well :-( No errors or anything, just no-one online. They can message you though, but you appear offline in their contact lists :-\
Edit:
Just installed the newer version of WLM, and now its working great

Can someone post the link for the latest WLM? The one I have on Touch is 10.6.0028.2700

If your touchs' MSN Messenger has problem showing online contacts, this version can fix it

Does this version install over the old one thus taking no extra storage space?

Yes, it will install over the existing but it seems that it does take more memory space...

No update necessary
I've found out that deleting your password in windows Live and login in Windows Live with another account and accepting the license thingies again it works like a charm. (long sentence, lazy today)

WLM Build 1400.CAB
When im trying to install this,
Im getting a error, about: you dont have the rights too install this blabla
Anyone knows what to do know ?

I have a french HTC touch and the problem is the same. the only way to be really connected is to configure the connexion on each time.
If i only ask him to connecte the touch seems to be connected but is not.

HTC Hero (Android few questions)

Hi Guys,
Its my first step in Android world. I have been using Windows Mobile since last 5 years (Currently HTC tytn II). I am very impressed with HTC Hero promos and customization. But before I move to Android world and buy this phone, it would be very helpful if any of you can provide answers to my following queries. Apologies, as it may be very basic questions for you but these functionalities very necessary for me as I use almost every day in my Windows phone.
Question for Android (HTC Hero)-
1. Can I sync Outlook address and calendar Android (HTC Hero)?
2. Can I open/edit word, excel and power point presentations? (If yes then does it come by default with phone like I got it with my HTC tytnII)
3. I need navigation software. (I saw one is available here http://www.alk.eu.com/. is there any other for Android like i use TomTom in my phone).
4. Any email client where i can configure Pop3, Imap or company microsoft exchange server.
5. Voice chat messengers (like i use fring(www.fring.com) for my windows phone)
Thanks in advance.

Hello there
Welcome to Android world. I don't know so much about android till now. But if you search the forum you can get all your question answered. I'm trying to help you from my little knowledge.
1. You can sync your contacts and their information from outlook.
2. HTC Hero has Quickoffice. So, I think you should be able to open/edit word, excell or powerpoint docs.
3. You can use AndNav2 for your navigation. The software is free in the Market.
4. Yes, you can configure your e-mail clients.
5. I haven't got any voice messaging service till now for android.
Hope these helps. If you have any other questions first try to search the forum .
Thanks.

there are tons of free IM apps out there.
1) Meebo (the best one)
2) eBuddy
3) IM+ (not free)
4) HelloYm, HelloAim, HelloMSN
5) IM app (built in android)

pda_crazy, as you have a HTC Tytn II, have a look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396782 and try Android for yourself. The latest build for Kaiser/Tytn II is from the Google Ion (HTC Magic) rather than the Hero, so the Sense UI is not present. Also, wi-fi, camera and bluetooth are not working, but GPS, Android Market and Google sync are. It may require some tweaking to get the best experience on the Tytn II as different versions of the phone seem to have particular issues with calls and/or data but I am running it on my UK Kaiser (MDA Vario III) at the moment and have calls, sms, sync, Android Market and GPS working fine. Battery life is a bit of an issue, but if you can get it working it will give you a chance to download and try out a variety of Android applications before paying for an Android phone.

not so simple
I have a hero. The quick office can only open word docs, have trouble with excel . It will not edit. You can sync outlook contacts and calendar . I could make a gmail account on it but not yahoo so far. Still looking for a good explorer software in which I can keep stuff where I want. Any suggestions ?

DocumentsToGo is pretty much the only app for editing doc and xls on android. If you want a file explorer both 'Astro' and 'Linda File Manager' are good.

HTC sync VS active sync

Hi there!
As I'm currently a Windows mobile user about to take the step over to Hero I just want to make sure that I can use my Hero at work as well.
Today I sync my work contacts and work calendar with outlook using active sync.
When syncing I don't have to enter any information at all, the sync sets up automatically. Does HTC sync work in the same way!?
Do you have to set up the HTC sync by entering server names and stuff like that, or is it just like active sync that everything is automatical!?
All answers are apreciated!
// Ohamn

I am so lazy, i ask here, so i did not start new thread.
Few days still and i get Dream again.
The ROM in it si some Hero thing. Isn´t that mean Dream is rooted and HardSpl in it? I can go and put Cyanogens ROM in it? If i understand it right, you can´t put any other ROM in unless you first put HSpl and root?
Sorry my bad english, hope someone catch what i mean...
Edit: Root and HardSpl ok, so now Cyan and works great...

Go in your device to ActiveSync-->Menu-->shedule...and check your settings. if you wanted real push then the setting should be : "as items arrive"

yeah i've already set that. Interestingly if i click sync in active sync app it then retrieves the mail from the server.
I have noticed that i occassionally get a message
'the security certificate on the server is not valid ...'
but it still syncs?
I also didnt get this message on my iphone

my works flawlessly with the settings above... sadly too well and i cant escape my emails!
the only thing i can suggest to try, is to un associate and re associate the hd with the exchange server and see if that fixes
as for the security cert, never had that, but i am probably on a different server (unless we work for some company) and im usings leos 3.55 rom
even with your little prob, the HD is still better than the iphone

fixed:
i de-associated and re-associated the device and it seem to fix it
(that and installing the certificate from my office server!!)
thanks
and yes it knocks spots of the iphone as a business phone .. just need to find some nice juicy hd games

Issue with adding Hotmail account in Dutty's The One ROM (WM6.5 - HTC Sense 2.5)

Hi All,
I currently have a Touch HD and a HD2, and while I like the WM6.1 / TF3D combo of the original Touch HD ROM, I decided to have a go at putting WM6.5 / Sense 2.5 on it, to see how it ran compared to my HD2 (which I've been having some issues with - slow running, freezing, etc).
I've upgraded the Touch HD to Dutty's The One ROM via HSPL, and the ROM seems to work very well, apart from the following issue, which I can't seem to figure out:
I've got the HD synching with my Exchange account, which works fine. Now I want to add my Hotmail account. Now, on the original HD ROM, and on the HD2, this works fine by going onto the Messaging tab and adding the Hotmail account (after setting it up in the Windows Live app initially). When I try this on the HD with Dutty ROM, it lets me go through the wizard, enter the password details, etc. But when I click finish, it just opens an Opera instance and directs me to mobile.live.com! Am I missing something?? MS MyPhone and Windows Live seem to work fine on this ROM (although I notice it's a different version of Windows Live that's on my HD2 standard ROM - Could this be it?).
Thanks in advance
d3m0n

Use this one:
|ROM |NOV 04| Duttys HD WM6.5 Leo Holy Grail R0 |CE 5.2.21869 |HTC SENSE||ONLINE||
I had no problems in hotmail :s
sorry i cant help

I think that might actually be the one I'm using (just double-checked, and yeah it is - I got confused as to the name, as he mentions it being "the one" in the description on HTCPedia)...
Strange thing is... It's working now! I had to hard reset and start over, but both Exchange and Hotmail are working within the Messaging tab (this time, Hotmail was added automatically after I completed Windows Live setup).
If this runs better than the HD2, I guess there'll be a HD2 for sale haha!

believe me, that rom is the perfect one for sense 2.5 and wm6.5. He made such a wonderful job. Its like his work at HD had finished, he made the perfect one.
Maybe one day he will do the perfect rom for hd2
About working, sometimes windows mobile is that way, unexplainable

Hey there,
I have the same problem kinda. I did not mess with the ROM at all, I only added a theme. But the thing is, I have a gmail on my HD2 and its great but when I tried to add my hotmail, that did not work and it took me to opera mobile and so on. So I doubt that it is an issue with the ROM here. here is how I am doing it: mail tab on the bottom--> menu--> add account. am I doing it wrong?
