Fring problem - 'not a valid Pocket PC application' - XPERIA X1 General

Hey guys,
I installed the WinMo Fring client on my Xperia, and had it working for a day.
Then I tried to launch it from the icon and it wouldn't load, or even post any error messages.
If I browse to Program Files/Fring and launch Fring.exe I get an error message that says 'fring' is not a valid Pocket PC application.
I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling from the cab, from the computer, through ActiveSync, and nothing works - same error every time.
Do you guys have any suggestions?

Works well here. I downloaded through m.fring.com and had it installed. It's been working fine. How did you install yours? I mean downloaded to PC and installed or through sms?

work perfect here too with m.fring.com
Would be awesome if one could use the build in front camera for video calls in skype/icq, but that wont work i think.

Well, I grabbed the exe off their website (or maybe it was softpedia) and installed to PC, which Activesync shot over to the phone.
I believe I tried the cab option as well.
Let me try to just go to m.fring.com...

It works fine over here too althought i couldnt get it to work my touch pro but it wasn't the same error. It just stuck at the loading screen

OK it looks like installing from the WAP site (using IE, not Opera -- I wish sometimes that opera would not try loading the full site for some pages... though others won't load the full page and only a mobile version, like CitySearch... irritating!) did the trick.
I just soft reset and it looks like Fring is sticking around.
So I guess that did the trick, thanks guys!
Though I will say, in the time it wouldn't work for me, I tried out Palringo... thats a pretty slick app, the way it supports photo and voice messaging; it gives a URL link to the recipient, they load the webpage and the photo or recording is embedded and playable right within the page, instantly. VERY cool!

opera 8 for universal

look everyone .. nice trick ... looking forward to try it by myself ..
http://kny.iki.fi/operawm5/
Works OK.
As it's for smartphone though there are no scroll bars. Need to navigate with the d-pad or arrow keys.
This looks good, but I can't get it to run on my JasJar. I didn't apply the hires hack, I wonder if that does something else to it as well. It installs fine, but when I try to run, it doesn't load.
You need to do a soft reset after installing or it won't work.
Is this some kind of beta or a trial version?
I just created a cab file from the original files, but still I'm not able to run it, I installed it on wm2003se device, plz any one take a look at it and force it to run if it's possible.
Universal Doc, I think it's a trial version. That's what I downloaded from the Opera site anyway.
I can't get it to to run on my device though. It seems to install -- I soft reset as instructed above, but when I click it to run, it doesn't run, the cursor circle pops up and runs for a brief moment, but then nothing else happens.
I tried the CAB file posted above, but it won't install on my device. Gets about 80% done, then a message pops up that says unable to install on the device.
No luck for me yet - hopefully Opera will release their WM5 version soon. I really like miss TrueVGA browsing.
it's a smartphone application not a pocketpc application
2003SE cant run smartphone applications only 2005 can do that
It does not work for me yet, such a shame (the devices are brothers of each other but don't have the same blood) but mine is a wm2005 machine now.
I get:
- Opera load failure
- Unable to load opera.dll
Can anybody post the opera.dll, maybe someone or meself can compare de dll's and can get this to work on his BlueAngel brother.

Right, and the JasJar I'm trying on is a WM5 machine. Isn't that the forum we are in?
I downloaded Opera 8 for Smartphones from Opera website, installed on my Jasjar, soft reset and I am able to run it. I installed the application to my main memory and not to the storage card.
However it is not a perfect run on the Jasjar, for example when I open the Hotmail website it takes me to the mobile hotmail website and not the full hotmail website. Furthermore it just takes me to the log-in page and cannot go further because when I enter the username in the prescribed box every press of the keys enters 2 characters simultaneously. For example when I enter "s" it would enter "ss" and so on.
I believe we will have to wait till Opera releases the version for Windows Mobile 5 for Pocket PC.

- Runs only under Windows XP

- Works possibly also with other DirectShow compatible applications
- Works also with VLC

Thanks so much once again dude!
Cheers,
San
Sorry, I have a problem with this.

i use it with the exec and it works all fine. just that under the drop down menu for webcam settings, i cannot select my old webcam so decided against it.
vapor,
The program has no problem working on my QTEK9000 and I have no problem using my existing webcam on my PC as well
No need to select any webcam. Just plug-and-play my existing webcam
From memory, isn't this app just taking Photos and streaming them across? I've never tried it but read that elsewhere...
V
Damn, I thought this was gonna add a vidcam for the Pocket PC version of MSN Messenger..
This is pretty cool. If it was high quality and had the option of using both the cameras (not at once) on the universal I'd defo consider the €5 registration.
JAmes
i welcome donations too
I wonder if skype will be supported
this is good but it would better if you could use the camera near the screen on the Universal instead of the main camera...is there a possibility of this?
If this works with WLAN, then you have in your posession a wireless IP camera (of sorts) - haven't tried it myself yet, as have only just read about this app and I'm at work.
Does it only work with MSN or can you use it in any video capture apps?
Thats exactly what you have, although i wouldnt leave it lying about
Its not of good enough quality video (if you ask me) to pay for yet, if this could be improved it would def. be worth paying for.
being able to use the video camera would be good too.
Its seen by windows as a capture device so I imagine it should be able to be used with capture sw.
JAmes
It works with LxCamView.exe on the desktop....
However, if I launch any other application (Trillian, VLC etc.) the app on my PPC fails to pair up with my desktop and throws an error...
Am i missing something???
(Otherwise, its awesome over wifi!!! A poorman's spy camera )
Cheers,
S
tried with my dopod with new rom...
doesnt work
installed the simcap.inf file on my PC but when i try to run the Lxcam application, i get an error msg saying "is not a valid win32 application"
can anyone shed some more light on this as i'd love to have this app up and running.
thank you

If you guys read the installation instructions and readme of the website, its clearly stated this is a known problem. The fix is: (taken straight off the website)
If there are problems with a second webcam in MSN Messenger
If you have selected the LxCamView webcam and it is impossible to switch to another webcam, close MSN Messenger completely (choose Exit in the menu of the MSN Messenger icon in the system tray). Then go to Control Panel - System - Hardware - Device Manager. Under Sound, Video, and Game Controllers, select SimCap. Choose Deactivate, and the LxCamView webcam will not appear any longer in MSN Messenger.

Vtap - Video Player

Has anyone had any experience using this Video Player ?
VTAP is by far the best free option

Haha hm...sounds like a neutral party post ...
EDIT: Seems to work real good. Easy to find videos and such. Plus wikipedia
Just downloaded.
This is by far the best web video solution out.
it searches all kinds of sites not just youtube
my only gripe is it fullscreens upside down on hermes.
I like it! Thanks.
Videos work great, and the Wikipedia is real nice.

Was wondering that myself. A bit silly. I just went into the Start Menu folder and deleted one of them. I think the smaller of the two. Still works fine.
I work for Veveo Inc. who provide the vTap service.
1. We are looking into the issue with the 2 icons in the programs folder. In the mean time, if you want to remove the vtap(1) icon, I have posted a process to remove it at this link: http://www.vtap.com/faq.html#rq11 .
2. We are looking into the upside down video on the Hermes phone. This has been seen now on a couple of HTC phones. I will post back when we have a solution for that problem.
Hi,
I have an issue with Vtap, it won't connect to the server, why??
It says "Server is temporary unavailable, please click 'retry' to try again.
It keeps saying that over and over again when I'm at home using WiFi. Interestingly, when I go to a hotspot location, it would work.
I have tried to reconfigure my router to put my phone in the DMZ to open all ports but it still won't work?
What is going on?
Btw, I'm living in Singapore, if it matters.
I really like vtap. I think its an awesome app and it pretty easy to use. Of course with T-mo US only being able to offer edge it kind of kills the overall experience for me. But I tried this with a WiFi connection and it works perfect with a high speed data connection.
Must say I haven't checked the wiki or the faq, but it is a real nice videoplayer for youtube etc.
aalvino keep it up

Hello All.. We have posted a new version of the vTap client. This version has a number of bug Fixes:
1 - Storage Card - Previously if you requested vTap to be installed on a storage card, it would still get installed into the main memory of the phone. This has been fixed, and vTap will now be installed onto the storage card.
2 - Double Icon - Previosly when installing vTap, there would be 2 icons created in the Programs folder. Now after installing, there should be only one icon.
3 - Proxy Issue - There was an issue when connecting through some proxies where you would not be able to play clips. An error would be reported indicating the resolved clip is empty. This issue has been resolved.
You can install the latest version of the vTap client by pointing the browser on your phone to www.vtap.com, and downloading the appropriate application.
Can it work with any site with videos?

Hey aalvino,
I'm using an 8525 (Hermes 100) w/vp3G's WM6 v3.62 AT&T ROM. Not sure about the DirectDraw support. I'd like to add that I'm having the same issue with my WiFi connection as well........good audio, but the psychedelic color video...would've been cool back in the '60s.......

The easiest way to install vTap is to just open the Browser on your phone, and go to the site www.vtap.com. You will then be prompted to download the correct .cab file and the installation should start automatically.

Qik Video Streaming

Has anyone been able to use this app? After registering it sends an sms to your phone and after clicking on the included link it says my device is not yet supported however they said the diamond was supported over a month ago
http://www.qik.com/
it's a live streaming web video that uses your phones camera and is completely free.
I'm about to try LiveCast to see how that works as well.
Thanks
EDIT: LiveCast doesn't seem to work well with the diamond.
Also when trying to log in at www.qik.com/ on my diamond I receive this message:
Unrecognized user Agent for wap_client_instructions "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows CE; IEMobile7.11) Sprint MP6950SP"
Hmmmm... weird. Works fine on my Touch Pro. Might have something to do with...
1. I'm using the Australian Three ROM.
2. I'm using Opera as my browser.
3. I'm using a Touch Pro.
*shrugs
Qik is installed here but it will not start up. Just the windows mobile wait cursor and then nothing... Someone????
i tried
no problems here...
download, install, program launch and streaming works like a charm
hm strange maybe i need to try another ROM

Log Me In, Skyfire/Opera w/ Flash, Garmin XT, & Slingbox

For all of you that have an X1, Congratulations.
The purpose of this thread is simple, I want to know if any of you have the above programs and if they work on the Xperia X1.
Please don't ask me for the program, I don't have them.
However, I heard all of these apps are very good and would like to know if they work at the 800x480 resolution.
Thanks
Garmin Xt works great on the xperia =)

I seem to be unable to install Slingplayer Mobile on my Xperia, is there any fix needed in order to be successful? The version I'm trying with is the

PocketPC version

Try the Pocket PC version istead.
Flash lite working with opera? Tried all versions to be found here on xda to no success..
Slingplayer loads for me, but does not seem to connect for me? Odd.. anybody else get it working? Only the pocket pc version will install.
I think I remember this issue on my last Windows Mobile device. You have to use isp.cingular instead of wap.cingular (which is the default configuration). isp.cingular isn't working for me on my data plan, but hopefully this fixed the issue. what is everyone else using?
wap.cingular or isp.cingular???

Once I realised it was the pocket pc version it installed quite easily, but I also had trouble connecting (I assume you have entered the Slingbox Finder ID along with password in the setup on the Xperia), until I changed the connection settings and unchecked the proxysetting from my operator (Telia, Sweden). I don't now the exact translation of the box but I think it is [This network connects to the Internet by a proxyserver], once this is unchecked it started to work for me, the only downside is that the software only supports resolution up to 640x480, which becomes quite a small window on a 800x480 screen. News from Slingbox is that the new software coming soon, might support higher resolutions, but until then is there any way to change the screen settings to a lower resolution to get full screen?
It's old this topic. But I have to pick it up
I got LogMeIn on my X1, connected via IE perfectly, I can see my computer, can do file management. But each time I choose remote destop, it gives me a blank screen. Nothing seem be running. It's just all blank.
What's wrong with this? Any ideas?
