question? i don't know much about tcp/ip, etc. yesterday, my 8125 would not sync with my laptop, i was getting the infamous support code. when i first installed activesynce i had no problems. this problem after i installed the orb.com software on my laptop. could this be the culprit or was it just that i got lucky installing activesync the first time? i would like to use orb again but don't want to go through the hassle of getting activesync to work again. thanks.
I'm using Orb with no problem
Probably not Orb. Been using Orb for months with no problems.
Hi All
Any ideas how to get activesync to work.
This is how it works for me.
1. Uninstall Activesync (im using 4.2 beta at the moment)
2. Restart PC
3. Reinstal Activesync
4. Plug in M5000
5. Sync M5000
6. Unplug it to use it again.
7. Swear , scream , shout..........not got round to kicking yet
8. Goto step 1
Thats it.
it only works after the first install, and never again.....WHY
??
Home someone out there can help
Cheers
Shaun
Is there any reason you need to be using the beta version? 4.1 is the latest release. Does the same problem occur with 4.1?
Hi,
I started using the beta version because the version 4.1 did exactly the same, i thought I would try it hoping that things would change, but no luck.
All i get is the rotating green symbol and nothing else.
If I connect to my work PC it works perfectly, its only at home that the problem exists
know its basic but to cover all bases,have you possibly tried another usb cable or another port?
I have tried plugging to the front and rear of my PC without an luck
but it must be a setting somewhere as on first instal everything works perfect
Not Sync
Here is a question for you then have you turned of your Anti Virus software and firewall.
I say this because i have Bull AV on mine (came free with new PC) and it does not support Async 4.1 they say go back to 3.8.
I am having the same probelm.
I've just got a Universal.
My old XDAII syncs fine with activesync 4.1 is fine
Either using a 2nd PC or the same one as the XDAII it will not sync.
I've been having a look for a fix on the internet but no, joy.
I'm not running a firewall, MS firewall is off too.
I've tryed 4.2.
I have Delete Partnerships, but this does not work.
The cable I have charges and the PC knows there is something there.
I found someone did this
I just unticked the synchronize all PCs using this connection, turned the xda off and back on, ticked the box again and connected!!
Does anyone know what that means?
Hi,
Yea my old M2000 sync perfectly first time everytime between Home and Work.
Using 4.1
My M5000 works everytime at work and only after i remove and reinstal at home.
Doesnt matter if my firewall or viruscan is on or of it still only connects on my home pc after i uninstal and reinstal.
Looks like it might have something to do with syncing in 2 locations
i have no idea if this has been posted before, if so i apologize.
I just thought i'd share a little program i found that i use regularly and love. The best part is that it's free!
basically it allows you to stream any sort of media from your home computer to your phone via internet. I have been able to successfully stream long 2+ hour movies to my phone over the standard EVDO internet on my mogul and it's flawless. I've also been able to stream live NFL games to my phone and watch them while i'm at work. I love it.
Goto www.orb.com and check it out. In order to stream the live tv you'd need to necessary hardware on your home computer, but you can still stream anything else. It's freaking great!
Yep. Just about every Pocket PC forum in existence over the last 2-3 years has had at least SOME post on this.
It also gets mentioned every time someone mentions Slingbox and slingplayer.
do you guys have this problem? i'm able to stream via EVDO, but i cant stream via wifi even though i have a great connection?
I cannot get Orb to load.. it just won't run on my computer at all. Everytime I load it the icon tray goes gray. Any ideas?
If you're having trouble with ORB 2.0 try version 1
Hey Bombz,
I've never had much luck getting ORB 2.0 to work on my Dell 9100 and I've no reason why. I can load up version 1 however and it works like a champ. If you've loaded up version 2 already, I think they have a special uninstaller that you can use to dump it completely before trying version 1.
Good luck,
Rick
anyone having this dish network problem?
For some reason every night my sat. reciever turns off. I have the time out turned off, but it still turns off at night. I have to press select on the reciever, but of course I cannot through orb. Any ideas of how I can work around this?

I installed Orb about 3 days ago. I love it but it does drain my battery. I had finally learned to fine tune my device so I wouldn't run out of juice before I got home in the evening, but now with orb installed I can barely make it home without a battery warning. Any suggestions? Has anyone tried the extended life battery with their phone? Does it last? Does the phone seem too big? Let me know.

I think you're confused about slingbox vs. orb.
Slingbox is a standalone peice of hardware, orb can do the same thing with the right equipment.
You're probably best off going to the orb forums at forums.orb.com, and asking your orb-specific questions there. They're very helpful, and will have more experience and up to date answers than anyone you're likely to find here.
Your absolutely correct on the orb.. i'm not sure what i was thinking..
But what is the best slingbox version to use with pocket pcs? I was just looking at some on ebay and I thought I heard one version works best and I wasn't sure if it was the newest one that worked. : )
Thanks
streaming orb over wifi
@ i2idiniow..
I played around with the wifi net connection settings, specifically the "my network card connects to" and the settings for my particular SSID. it appears setting them in some combination of work and internet allowed me to stream via wifi with the phone off. let me know if you need more specific detail! I LOVE ORB because I can watch my bt downloded episodes of UK only "top gear" & "fifth gear" whenever I want, not to mention any other of the 500gb of tv/vids/music/pics I have. I cat believe the service is free! granted this sort of thing could be done by an individual with VLC and a web server, but orb is so amazingly simple and eloquent!

Im gonna take a wild guess and say you have Dish Network. If so, they supposedly have the receiver go into update mode when inactive for 4 hours which produces the screen you are talking about. you are right, there is no way to press select in orb. you can do it with a slingbox and their software. The only know work around to this that I have seen (search the internet quit a bit on this) is to set the DVR (if you have one) to record like a couple minutes of any random program every 3 hours 59 minutes, this will wake it up. i belive I am correct on this, may vary by receiver model, but from I have seen there is no setting to chnage this on most modern receivers. bummer i know
Is there a way to change the default media player from windows mobile media player or at least a way to change pre amp volume levels (the sound is far too quiet)

Switch to TCPMP, it is MUCH better and after adding the WMV, WMA and flash patches it does everything WMP does better.
How to Access from Mobile end
What is the step by step access from the mobile phone end once the program is installed on the host pc?

You need to set the correct file associations. You can do this in the TCPMP settings or in the registry. The windows streaming file type is .asx
I am having the worst time getting orb to work at all, I can view the files, click on the files and they start to play but the buffering happens every 10 seconds it won't play worth a crap. I tried version 1 and it doesn't work. Anyone got any ideas?

I'm having the same problem, sometimes it never buffers and just says "paused".
I had a problem with my Mogul, so I sent it to repair, meanwhile I switched back to my old phone Samsung SPH-A940 or sometimes it is called MM-940, I know it is not a Windows Mobile phone, but back in the days I had purchased like more than 20 games and applications that runs on the the phone which I think runs on Java, my question is:
Is there any way to extract these games so I can try them on my Mogul when I get it back? Or there is no need to bother they will not work!
I downloaded the driver from Samsung web site and I do not see the phone or any indication that it is connected to my PC except the sound of a new hardware being connected and disconnected!!!
I tried to send them using blue tooth but the phone does not give me the option of doing that!!
I am guessing that they might work sice the mogul has Java installed!!
any ideas?
Hi im Zigzagzz71 i have had my T-mo HD2 since launch but havent even begun to tap the power of it yet! i am a old blackberry curve 8320 user. I am trying to find out what to do as far as using ROMS, which i have no idea what they are??? im even having issue uploading a regular movie lol....newbie if anyone can assist or point me in a good start direction i would be very thankful!
Stock ROM
I am using the Stock ROM that came with my T-Mobile USA HD2. I would just recommend using Cookies Home Tab and Editor. Those are great additions. You can search in this forum and surely find the cabs for those apps. As far as movies. I use MP4 Movies and they work perfect. You can connect your fone to your computer using your data cable and active sync or take out the Micro SD in the back of your fone and get an adapter for the micro sd and just stick into one of the USB ports and drag and drop!? Hope this helps
will try....very overwelming at first lol
