WM5

I tried Magneto on my Himalaya,but I had lot of problems(see 'Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking'). Is it there same problems also for Typhoon? Meaned the biggest problems such as unability to connect via ActiveSync,unability to accept many applications from 2003SE,etc. Someony who has it already tried,please write here your opinions and experiences. Thanx.

On Typhoon, Activesync works perfectly, you can't unlock it, neither for applications, nor to use another sim card, you can't use USSD... Don't load it for the now and wait for the final version.

+1 you are right.. it is so early for WM2005. if you load microsoft can test WM 2005 on your phone and you will be cavy...

Will there ever be a stable WM5 for the typhoon?

It can be application unlocked very easily with a simple registry change.
I dont see the problems eveyone is having with the typhoon with wm 5, its very stable I dont get any crashes or lockups any more. Tom tom 5 even works relaibly. The only downfall is the camera, which im sure there will be a fix.

?
I am still interesting about the applications. WM5 needs applications designed especially for this OS or accepts also the apps,which are running also on WM2003(se)? My Himalaya,while running on Magneto,wants not accept lot of the software that I am using with WM2003se normally...

I've been running WM5 on Typhoon for 1 week.
It's awesome. (totally happy, no issues with anything)
The WM5 GUI look & feel is much better for everythying
It seems faster
I really enjoy having photo/ring-tone based contacts built in.
radio seems to aquire quicker
Active Sync over GPRS and IMAP mail is MUCH faster!
I also recommend Pocket Controller Professional. You can control any pocket pc or smartphone from your computer! (and sync files, etc etc) It comes with “skins” so it looks like your whole phone is up on the screen. (very nice to "type" in stuff now and then too) Works great on the Typhoon with WM5 so far.
The Tornado should be interesting in Oct. (similar size + WiFi + EDGE)

s4czech or anyone else, could you please indicate me a link where to find a complete explanation on how to upgrade to WM5?
I already downloaded the upgrade, but as I donno the procedure all I get is error' messages that this or that is missing... Thanks!

I am using WM 5 on my C500 (Typhoon). It runs very well, stable and fast. I have installed the following Software (tested and running). Except Power Task, they are all WM2K3 Apps
- CityTime Alarms
- Developerone Power Tasks (WM5 Version)
- Fizz Traveller 2
- Fizz Monitor
- TCPMP
- WordPad
- Blackjack
- Facade from SBSH (new)
- Opera for Mobile (new)
- Papyrus from SBSH (new)
- GPRS Traffic Counter (new)
And that's basically all I need

Medical Apps....still waiting

Hi Guys,
This post is a little overdue in that I lost my password to login here, but have been reading the forum religiously daily.
Anyways, after waiting and waiting, I still feel like the fool with the new device that can't run one single Medical app.
I'm talking about Skyscape and the like.
None of the WM2003 Apps are upward compatible.
Styletap doesn't install the .pdbs of my older Apps.
Essentially I saw one post earlier touting Epocrates may work, but thats just one app.
So at times, I miss my 6315 Ipaq for this functionality, but am stalling on downgrading to using 2 PDAs for this purpose.
Anyone care to share misery some company on this topic,
OR
have any insight into a possible solution?
Thanks

hi
though some of the apps dont run (not wm5 compatible) but i have 4 products off skyscape that work perfectly... these are 5mcc 2006, oxford handbook of emergency medicine, oxford handbook of acute medicine , and ferri clinical advisor...
ive also tried the following that work on universal:
1)abc's lab application
2)cecil
3)harrison
4)washington manual 31
5)davis drugs

What is your definition of "it works"? Any slow downs? How about when switching from lanscape to portrait or vice versa? Any problems with screen refreshing on the Universal?

I guess those guys didnt email anyone.
I just checked sometime back and 90% of their products are NOW WM5 compatible. Go and get them

im very interested in medical apps for my pda, please can you guys let me know how they run on the exec. I had some skyscape apps on my ipaq 4150 and it took quite a while to load, im thinkin it would take even longer on the exec.

They are fast and support both landscape and portrait mode. Pretty good in my opinions.

How come skyscape site only list their programs to be compatible with Pocket PC 2003 and not Windows Mobile 5? This is what maybe causing hesitation on our part, at least now we know skyscape programs work even though they did not specify full Windows Mobile 5 support.

Frank Shanns Drug Doses works in both landscape and portrait.
www.drugdoses.net

I think maybe skyscape has updated their site recently, since it seems they are now very specific about which apps are WM5 compatible.
Universaldoc, could you say which apps you have working well on your device?

Hi Shiva,
Most of them are working. When you click on the title, it will show you a list of device requirements in which it will now state WM 5 also. 99% of the apps have been upgraded to WM 5 now.
I mainly use 5mcc and Stedmans They both work very well.

skyscape success
I took the plunge and installed 5 min CC, DrDrugs, and the Medical Letter Drug interactions programs. All seem to work just fine.
One thing that might be disconcerting to some is that in the install routine, if you are installing to storage card, you get a message that install was NOT successful. But you just find the cab files that were successfully copied over, run them, and no problem.
Now my external brain is healthier again.

In Australia
If anyone is in Australia and use MIMS (the local pharmacy information)- then you're out of luck.
Any iSilo stuff works as iSilo itself works

Why would anyone need iSilo when vast databases like Skyscape are available?

Anyone tried ER Suite by Medical Wizards yet?
http://www.medicalwizards.com/client/productdesc.aspx?productid=47
Update: I tried their apps 4 months ago. Their apps worked on the Universal, but it is not WM5 compatible yet. I would not recommend their software for the Universal at the moment.

DrugDoses has been updated
Hi!
Just to let you know that DrugDoses, a PDA version of Frank Shann's Drug Database, has just been updated. I really like its new features, such as the medical formulas and scores (Apgar, Glasgow Coma Scale, QTc, FeNa, etc).

Programms where to install...

So whats the best storage for install programms ? Which Programm should be on SD Card and which on Telephone ?
like TT6, any SPB, any SBSH, Resco......
What do you have where installed ???

I install any apps that have today plugins or that I use all the time on the device. Any other apps like satnav etc go on the card.

unwired4:
Thanks for your information...

tried tt6 on the card and on the tytn. there seems to be fewer lock ups if installed on the machine. I agree witht he today plugins comment but I think it simply depends on the software. some of the older stuff only works without freezing if directly installed on the machine. if you remove the card or hot swap with another then you get even more problems

Definitely agree on that. Any fixes for your OS should go to main memory as well.

thankyou
thanks will try it

10x man .... god update ... an it`s work great form SD

Thanks for sharing this, exactly what I was looking for!

Thanks for sharing!

Is this the only link to this cab file?
I have been looking for hours for this file.
Thank you

Great!!! finally something that works from a sd card without tinkering with. By the way - it works to some degree on qtek 8500 with wm6 as well. I tried it with opera - no problem at all and great.
Bombus - the jabber client - problem!!! doesn't use all keys - direction and input. Other miscallenneous programs - input problem. To be expected though, it was made for different software.
Not a major problem though. The JRebeiro_EsmertecJbed3d works from sd card as well - install and just move the big exe somewhere and it will run ok. The files will be stored in the main memory though. To be exact in the appdb dir in windows folder.
I decided to keep the new version - for instance in bombus the text is actually written you just can't see it. if you switch the t9 on and carefully write your login, pass and server, you can even use it. However, it is only just usable, I don't really use it often, in favour of Agile, so I can live with it.

Never mind, I don't know what was worse my laziness or the stupidity of my question. Sorry for taking up threadspace

I don't have a SD card, how can I install it into main memory? Thanks.
Edit: found it, \Esmertec Java

Thanks! Great jobs!

also great for smartphone
great! I use it on SP3 (WM6) and O2 XDA Atom (WM6). but when we can have jbed with bluetooth?

problem with Opera 4.1 trusted release and this update
Is anyone having problems with this and Opera 4.1 trusted midlet? I am experiencing the following:
Everytime I try to use autocomplete and type an address, when I press a letter it repeatedly makes the same letter. Also using the fast scrolling feature with numbers 2, 4, 6, 8 does the same thing except for without the letters. It just keeps scrolling by itself! Any one else experiencing this and is there a way to fix this?

thank you!
is there bluetooth support? I mean to use it with bloover et other bluetooth software (like chat2u).
thanks again,

It's ok, it could download after first post.

I gave Java build 20080521.4.1 on my new sprint ROM for my Mogul.
Anyone know where I can get this as a .cab so I can install it into customs ROM's that I flash?

Installed this on an Axim X51v - doesn't run at all, from main memory or SD card. It just doesn't open at all. Any ideas?

help me chose wm 6.1 or wm 6.5

Hello. I need a wm 6.1 or 6.5 to put on my trinity. (p3600) I want to install igo8 and mio v3.3 on it. Can you tell me witch wm i can use? I need space and at least 30mb free ram for installing igo8, mio and any other software. I tried all kins of rom but igo 8.3.2 is not installnig anymore. please help.

WM 6.1, I dont belive that the Trinity has enough RAM to run WM6.5
I use this ROM on my trinity without any issues
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=494727

i'm currently using wm6.5 (i believe TRIN_WM6.5__3_00_707_51__B21232) and it seems pretty stable so far. The only real issue i've had is with the status icon in the top right of screen that shows programs running and mem usage, it's disappeared and the only way i got it back was doing a hard reset, but then it went again. Apart from that all good so far.
I'm using the rom as supplied and have installed no extras apart from TomTom7, which works fine.
I do get a bit of slow down occasionally but it doesn't seem any worse than 6.1 and killing off apps using task manager generally sorts it out.
Hope this helps
Smiffy

I used wm6.5 kitchen in my P3600 , It's work well , finger friendly and beauty menu , but soma time it's hang and some program such garmin not run it and need long time for started. I turn to wm5 orginal , but want to test wm6.1 !
Can U help me to chose light version of Rom wm6.5 or wm6.1 ?

Check my siganture for a decent Ultralite 6.1 ROM. From a fresh install you have the following:
WWE_21014_UltraLite
Storage 74.43Mb
RAM 51.07Mb
Free Storage 71.88Mb
Free RAM 30.95Mb

Hi deedee,
Thank you, that was good advice, I had to fix a friend's Trinthy P3600, I took your advice and 21014.1.6.0 ROMs first I tried the full version but then switched to the Medium and it was awesome. From a fresh boot it gave me more then 29MB of RAM, Then I loaded a ton off apps like iGO8, SPB mobile Shell with SPB weather and SPB TV, Mobi Pocket Reader, AE Buttons, StopTime, scientific Calculator and RDP (and I thin I am missing a couple of them) but it is working great.
Very Good Stable and Fast ROM, since it was this post of yours that guided me to that ROM so I owe you tons of Gratitude. And I also owe chanv93 lots of thansk for making such wonderful ROM and putting it out there for dumb noobs like me who are not smart enough to cook their own ROMs.
Good Work chanvi93 and many many Thanks
