GPRS Monitor

I cannot install GPRS Monitor from myO2 CD, it says i need to update my ROM, i did a corporate install btw
Anyone else had any probs?

Another forum member had this same problem when installing the ClearVuePDF Reader also supplied by o2 as part of the HTC application suite. He has the MDA, but flashed with the o2 Exec ROMs and then installed in Corporate mode.
From work we did together, it appears to be just the install program that was not validating his device. When I tried a hard-reset and Corporate mode install, I had no problems installing. However, its beginning to look as though a hard-reset does not totally clear the Exec's memory. In his case, I found all the individual files and registry settings needed for ClearVuePDF to run and he copied those to the device. Runs perfectly for him like that.
So I'm afraid you'll have to find somebody with the o2 version of GPSMonitor installed and get them to determine all the files/locations and registry-settings needed to get it to run. Unfortunately I don't have a GPRS connection or GPRSMonitor installed.
Just a thought. Have you yet tried a full o2 Personal mode install on your device? It just might be this action that puts 'something' in memory that is not cleared by a hard-reset, and that 'something' might be what the install program is looking for.
Sorry that I can't be more helpful.

No problem thanks for your help

I did a basic install and I get the same error. Sorry, Not much help though.

Me too. The ClearVuew PDF reader is rubbish! Text misalighed all over - Adobe with pixel doubling is better than this.

Please try this
Could one of you having a problem to install the o2 supplied GPRSMonitor, please try installing the attached .CAB after copying it to your device.
This CAB is extracted from the CD-ROM install program, so hopefully skips the validation stuff. With luck you might be able to get around the failed validation by installing from this CAB.
Note: Even if asked to install to Storage Card, the o2 supplied version (2.3.0 build 600) puts very little there, most goes into device memory. The current version 2.41 from spb will obey the instruction to install to SD-Card, but wasn't reliable when run from there - the monitoring part aborted four times in 10-minutes whilst I was playing with it.
Unfortunately, since I don't have the install problem, I can't test this install out.

It works a treat. Thanks muchly!

Am I glad about that - I was in the midst of trying to locate all the files/registry entries needed for a manual install.
Perhaps I can go to bed now! :wink:

I also managed to 'locate' another copy and it works fine, thanks for all the help.

I can confirm this but with other files. After several hard resets (even with the clear storage icon), the pictures I had taken were still there.

Ouch! I didn't realsie it was as bad as that.
The situation is made worse by the backup program I'm using (Sunnysoft Backup Manager) not backing up all the data and settings. Neither does it perform a true restore - just merges the backup with what's there after the hard-reset.
Unfortunately, I'm used to HP's backup applet from the Jornada 928; which performed a total backup/flush restore. Are there any other applets for WM5/universal that really performs a full backup/restore?

Does anyone have this cab please? I have just bought a new O2 exec and am having the same problem with it saying my ROM version is too old!!

sorry ignore that post! Work computer blocked the file out

I am running my XDA EXEC in basic mode. When I tried copying the .cab file to my device and running it from there , still get the problem.
Any suggestions ?
I was running personal mode then switched to basic mode, could this cause the problem.
Thanks for you replies in advance.

Cannot remove GPRS monotr app
I installed this file to test it out om M3000. Unfortuntely I cannot seem to uninstall it now! It doesnt show up in my Program list - How do you uninstall it?
I looked in the \\windows folder and removed all files and shoretcuts I could find, but its still showing up on my 'today' screen with an error.
Any ideas? The registry?
Cheers
rob

Linuxgeek:
I was also getting the ROM version problem installing programs to my SD card on my O2 exec. Since I'd only just added the card and was running the basic installation, I did the following:
1) Hard reset
2) Personal Install
3) Re-install ActiveSync on PC
This did the trick. Thankfully I like the Personal install best anyway, but I don't know if that step was necessary.

Tried it. Still get the problem :-(

My mistake - I managed to install the Clearvue PDF program, not the GPRS monitor program. I'm still getting the ROM version error with the GPRS monitor program, but I've not tried the above download yet.

Anyone got any other ideas to fix this problem.
Shame O2 don't have an update to fix this problem on their website.

I've now tried the CAB posted above by astage and I can confirm it worked for me. Just copy the CAB to your device and then open it to start the install.

Program Installation Problem

I have had many pocket PC's and the Universal w/WM5 is the only one that gives me consistant installation problems. I had listpro 3.0 installed in program memory. I uninstalled it with the intent of re-installing it on the SD card. Unchecking it from activesync did nothing. Removing from the ppc directly told me that all of the file were not removed. I saw the the folder still existed in program files, do I deleted the directory and shortcuts pointing to it. I have had this exact same problem MANY times
Am I the only one with this problem? I don't find any messages like this.
Next, I try to reinstall listpro and it won't reinstall :x I get a message cannot be installed, try another location (which does not work). Do I need a hard reset? I tryed installing another program and I can still install other stuff, but the removal did not work again.

Hi Gary!
I have a lot of experience in this sh*t. WM5 cannot uninstall or install in a lot of cases. Usually if you still have some files or folders which are on the same location than with the installation, installer says: cannot install. In that case you have to delete (or rename) the folder left, and then you can install it. In other cases installer stays in a loop install condition, and cannot continue. In that case try to install another application to finish somelooped order. I realised another thing, which is very interesting: when you want to uninstall a program, and your pda says it cannot be removed - or something -, if I run Vijay555 killphone application in 98% of the cases after it I can uninstall the same.
I hope this wil help!

Hi,
Perhaps I have been lucky but I havent had any issues with regards to installing or uninstalling programs.
I do make sure that I soft reset before and after - so maybe thats a golden rule!
Matt

Yes, softreset would be a good tip in more cases, but it wouldn't solve the problem when you want to install a program which needs a place what exists.

I did find some files in the windows directory and deleted them. That WORKED. Just doing program files is not enough. In this case, the file name was the same as the program. I don't expect to be that lucky all the time.
I have done soft-resets when it does not work. I do a number of trial programs and tend to forget prior to removal. What a apin
Got to love Microsoft - reboot is the answer to everything.

Installation problems.....
I am having the same problem too.
Even after a hard reset when I try and install Sprite Backup & Agenda Fusion I keep getting the install error: 'cannot be installed, try another location'
It's driving me up the wall! I would have thought after a hard reset this wouldn't be an issue. I'm now the proud owner of an MDA Pro (Universal) that I can't use because the software I want to install won't install.
Can anyone help me please?

can't install some apps

I have Cingular 8125 version of Wizard, running default ROM from Cingular right when 8125 was released last year.
I'm having a re-ocurring problem of not being able to install certain apps. In some cases the first time I install something it works okay, but can't install a new version later.
These apps are ones I've had trouble with and curently cannot install:
-mortplayer
-mortscript
-slider lock
-teletype GPS
Here are things I've tried in various combinations
-checked for sufficient space on storage card or ram
-un-install app, then re-install
-install to storage card or system ram
-reset device
-install via "cabinstl" program
-install from pc setup.exe
-install directly from .cab on device
-even tried a complete hard / factory reset and installed some of the apps as first time ok, but mortplayer was one that I couldn't install on a fresh factory reset
Anyone else having problems like this? I've seen a couple comment's on mort's board of others having problems but no resolution.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

no one else has problems then

have you tried re-download mortplayer cab and try to install it? i have come across the same problem and the corrupted cab file was the reason. i think it get corrupted while i'm transferring it to the sd card. so sometime i just download directly to my wizard.

Ya, I've tried several different vesrions over past 6 months. Just tried downloading latest cab directly to phone and installing it to Device memory...
"Mort's MortPlayer" cannot be installed
Thanks!

i use to have a problem like this.
Then i download "CabViaActiveSync" and i have no problems installing any programs. works like a charm. Try it see if it fixes your problem. Search for it . its free.

Cant install most of the softwares !!!!!!!!!!

can't help you or tell you the reason because you are not giving enough details about what you are trying to install, what is going wrong. How are you trying to install. Exe or .cab files. are you just getting error's during the installation

i tried to install .cab & .exe , but it says install unsuccessful, for example SPB & Battery status

mmmm
On what ?... is the cab on the phone or on the PC ???????

i tried both , but i couldnt

You have the HTC Touch Elf right? No cabs at all are instaling on your phone.
Possibiliites:
1. The cab files are being currupted either while you are downloading them or while you are sending them to your phone. FYI Cab files are to be installed via your phone not PC. Transfer the complete cab to phone and just click it to install - Do Not Unzip it. (A cab file looks like it is a zip file or a rar file wen it is on your PC but don't be fooled. it is a cab and does not need to be unzipped) you will only see a bunch of messy files and will just get confuzed. just place the cab on your phone and tap it with your stylus to initiate install
Exe's are to be installed via your PC to your phone through activsinc. place the exe on your desktop (Or wherever) and connect your phone to your PC using Activsinc. Then click the exe on your desktop and follow installation instructions - NOte you will have to still do some clicking on your phone to allow the installation.
2. you are not installing them properly and therfore follow instructions above.
3. your phone is currupt somehow (I don't see how) Try a hard reset and see if the programs will install after that. if not, you might want to return your phone for warranty (I am assuming you just got this phone and this is the first time you are trying to install something.
4. Maybe you have run out of room on your device to install any more applications (if you have been installing tons of other stuff successfully)
I have never gotten any errors installing cabs or exe's exept for when I was trying to install something that my phone did not support. (Not a valid WM application) or something like that.
Edit: You still are not give us much information - What type of error are you getting - What does your phone show/tell you?
Does it start to install and fail half way through? does it not start at all? does it install and the programs just do not run?
Tell us what program you are trying to install - what error you are getting and when you are getting it. Tell us the method you have used to install it etc....
If you want help you will have to provide us with as much information and detail as you can. Otherwise - Good Luck.
I will check back here regularly to see your response and try to help, but if you don't give us much more detail - no one will be able to help you.

Did you flashed your ROM recently?

it start to install and fail half way through, but not all of the softwares , for example i cant install tcpmp,wm router , battery status , and alot of softwares , the error is always the same ( it start to install and fail half way through)

I don't know about battery status or wm router but TCPMP is an exe type installation. if you try to install this using your phone by putting the TCPMP installation on your phone and clicking to install, it won't work. You have to put the installation file on your computer, connect your device to your computer through activesinc. then click the TCPMP Installation on your desktop and follow instructions. Make sure you accept installation on your device when your device asks. The others may be the same

i did like that , but nothing changed , same message , install unsuccessful

Are you trying to install to your storage card or to device? Are you certain that you have enough storage space left?
Do you have any problems with Activsinc?
Have you tried downloading another copy of TCPMP - Maybe the copy you have is no good.

yeh , i tried on both storage and device memory , i have 1.5 gb remaining on storage also
my active sync is working in perfect condition, i dont know wht happend , ok , is there anything that i can upgrade my phone ???

I don't know if I can help you with this problem. I have never had any problems installing anything onto my device even when the app wasn't compatible. usually still installed, just wouldn't run. I am still using official stock WM 6.0 rom that came on my device. (have not ever flashed a new ROM or Radio and don't know anything about that. If you did flash a new ROM or radio, that could be what is causing your problems and you may want to examine in the thread where you got your ROM or Radio from for answers or to see if anyone else is having the same difficulties. Perhaps PM the person who cooked the ROM. If you havn't flashed any new ROM or Radio, then maybe you changed something in your registry that you shouldn't have with a registry editor (just a thought - don't know if you have ever done this) or maybe you have an app on your phone that is causing conflict when trying to install other apps. You can always try a hard reset of your device (if you don't mind starting from scratch again customizing your device) and then try installing TCPMP and see if it works right after a hard reset. That would suggest either something was changed in your registry or that another app was causing conflict. Bit of a pain in the a## having to reinstall everything(unless you don't have much installed on your device) and still no guarantee that it will work. Before doing a hard reset, you might want to look into backing up your device. (I don't know anyting about backing up - what program to use or how much it can back up such as setting or such but you might want to check it out. Also make sure you sincronize your device with your computer prior to hard reset so that all your contacts, appointments etc... are up to date that way after a hard reset you can just syncronize your device again and get your contacts and appointments etc... back.
If anyone else has any suggestions here -- Please feel free to jump in. I know that I would be really annoyed not being able to install new apps to my device.
Good luck. I hope this gets figured out for you
Rod

i had the same problem, it was unbelievably frustrating, i had to restore my X1i to factory settings, that fixed the problem.

I think you should follow hotrod101's suggestion and do a hard reset. Its quite likely that your phone has malfunctioned or something. It's probably going to save you a lot of work in the long run. Or turn in your device in one of the HTC service centers as already stated. Don't forget to back all your stuff up first.
Good Luck.

thanx alot

you did not say whether your rom is original or coked as i met some problems with cocked roms in installing arabic based applications that was easily installed before flashing me device

Did you get things figured out - If so please share with the rest what you did to solve your problem, in case others are having similar problems. Did one of our suggestions help or did you find another solution?

same problem on my Touch Pro, seams to be common ... some say that it is due to the fixed number (50 installed programs) on the touch flue ... however, I have no more information of how did they got this result, or what is the registry of this issue???
I hope if someone help on this to avoide us the headache cused by hard reset, just thinking about it make me crazy.
even hard reset is not a solution.

[q] help me pls!!! My android wouldn't boot anymore

Hi everyone,
I had boot the android OS on my hd2 device before. BUT problems happen today for me to boot my android OS...when i click either CLRCAD or HARET file, it show me a message:
"The file cannot be opened. Eithere it is no signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try to reinstalling or restoring this file."
Did anyone of you facing this kind of problem before? Anyone have solution or suggestions? I have different Android file in my device. BUT i only name the android file that i want to boot with "android"...I dont think multipile android folder affect the booting process right? So did anyone know what the problem now? I CAN BOOT ANDROID before this..BUT NOW I CANT!!! HELP ME PLS!!! =.=

I can only assume that you've recently flashed a new ROM, or that you've been playing with settings in WM. Either way, install BsB Tweaks and make sure that you enable the option that allows you to install unsigned apps. (I can't remember the exact wording, but it's pretty obvious from the description.)
That should solve your problem and allow you to run Android again.
Hope it helps mate.

T.T...i have installed BsB Tweaks on my deivce...it works normal before this...but now IT DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE!!! WHAT HAPPENING TO MY DEVICE....T.T

Did you check the option that I said needs to be enabled?

hmmm....i cant open the bsb app now...what i doing now was i try to reinstall the app and see how it works...T.T..hope everything fine

It's this option (as per the BsB thread)...
Polices
■- Allow install and run unsigned applications.
Make sure that's enabled and you should be able to run the 2 exes.

HI....bad news...i cant re-install my BsB tweak App again..it say installing process was unsuccesful...do you know whats happening ? T.T...sad

I'm afriad not mate. You've obviously done something recently, like install some new software or flash a new windows ROM, and that's caused the problems you're having.
What have you done recently?

I did not install any new ROM or software recently...what i did was i just boot android last few days ago...but the moment i change my device back to WM...eveything goes so wrongly...i cannot boot adnroid anymore...T.T...what happening...T.T
the android build that i boot was from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=802194

It's definitely WM that you're having problems with, not Android. We need to get to the bottom of that problem. You said that you can't install BsB Tweaks. What happens when you try?

Had the same problem the first time I installed Android. Couldn't even install normal .cabs without getting "The file cannot be opened. Eithere it is no signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try to reinstalling or restoring this file."
I tried everything and ended up doing a hard reset which solved the problem. If you end up doing this, install SDKcerts before anything else!
Hope this helps.

when i was trying to install the bsb tweaks, it show me that the installation was unsuccessful..T.T

Hi,you ask me to install the SDK certs first? what was the thing you ask me to install? and wher can i get the SDKcerts so that i can install on my device?

I didnt want to make a new thread since this one is about the booting of android failure.
I kinda have some issues.
Yesterday I first installed m-deejay build snce warm, 2day i changed it to the build of the the same auothor, sence aswell. But stumbling on a weird problem. Once I turn android off, and try to boot android again I stumble to a problem of the phone hanging in screen with htc on it, have been waiting for 10 minutes now, dont know if waiting longer will help, gonna try it.
I do still use the original 2gb card that came with the phone, I did installed some apps from the market (whats app, ping chat, camera app). After that I stumbled to a weird problem of market not downloading apps anymore.. and time from time I loose my internet connection
Does anyone know what may cause the booting time of android?
PS. Using artemus rom had hardresetted so it was completley clean before install of the build. The build does work well, but once I restart the phone it does the thing with long booting time 15 minutes passed now still nothign..
Any ideas how come? Thank you

You can find the sdkcerts here: http://www.modaco.com/content/i8000...co-com/306870/sdkcerts-2010-and-signing-tool/
Install after hard reset.
