Hi all,
I am so frustrated with my k-jam. Once I install anything on it like wisbar2 or button mapper or anything it gets so terribly slow that it's totally unusable. it's rediculous how long i have to wait to be able to make a darn phonecall.
anyone knowing a way around this problem?
thanks
Andrew
there must be something wrong, i have the k-jam & a total of 20 apps are installed on it, without being that slow, on the contrary, i thought it would be slower than this, but it's pretty nice.
do you have the latest rom installed on it?
yep, i have 1.6.7 or something like that running on it.
what apps do you have running on it?
But it depends also on how many appl are running at that moment...

Wisbar is still only a beta release for WM5 devices so that may not help. Are your other installed applications all labelled as WM5 compatible by the publishers?
Do you still have the AntiVirus installed / running?
do you have the anti-virus program running thats in your Extended_Rom?
thank you all for your help.
nooooo, i got rid of the antivirus as soon as i figured out how to.
actually right now i don't have anything special running.
what do you all think about the wisbar advanced desktop? would it slow things down big time?
thanks again
Andrew
here are the installed apps on my kjam.
for the wisbar advance desktop, i beleive its not supported on wm5 yet, i tried to install the version available on their website and the result was a total freeze, i had to uninstall it eventually.
correction...
i found there's is an update for the wisbar advance. i'm gonna try it and see.
guys, i have a wizard (T-Mobile Vario) and i notice it sometimes responds slowly to things if i click on them, but i didnt know it had an antivirus built into it, can you tell me where it is and how to get rid of it?, Thanks
You should be able to remove it via the Remove Programs applet in Settings on your Vario, or via ActiveSync when connected. Think it's published by eTrust..

I don't have anything from eTrust in my "Remove Programs" list... Are you sure?
as i recall i was only able to get rid of the antivirus thing by upgrading the rom. but maybe if you can find which on it is you can just remvoe the file from the extended rom and do a hard reset.
Some of the earlier iMate shipped ROMs didn't show eTrust in the Remove Programs applet so they provided a patch to make it show up. I would have had the same problem, but managed to kill the install when first setting up.
Hey all!
So I've been scouring the forums for a while now, I truly have, and all I end up with is more questions and confusion.
I have a vario 2.
It has some annoying issues, like the x not actually closing, msn seems to refuse to stay ended, just loads itself back up all the time, windows media player always stops responding when trying to close etc. From what I've read, fairly common things. Oh and not being able to set custom sms tones.
Now I finally managed to work out that I needed some extra programs, like shell something or other? which I downloaded to the phone, not a pocketpc application was the response.
So I read, use activesync. But hey....Windows Vista doesn't have active sync. Which btw also keeps loading itself up on the bleeding phone.
Something I came accross tonight too, is that when hooked up as a usb modem it apparently doesn't charge as fast as it uses, cause it went flat on me tonight mid surf.
There's a ton of stuff that is meant to be do-able on the phone but I just can't figure out how to do it.
WM6 seems a likely move, but so many different pro's and con's, some people having issues etc, I wonder is 5 safer? Not that I would know how to install wm6 anyway.
Upgrading windows messenger, the live beta seems to have vanished, and any links I've downloaded it from don't work.
Please guys! help! Plain english cause the phone having about a million names doesn't help and the abbreviations I havna't worked out yet are just more nails in my already well sealed coffin
Thanks in advance for any and all help!
OK......wall of text
the x button was NOT designed to actually close the program, the idea is the system frees up memory when it is needed, its only recently that the x-button app (that ACTUALLY closes programs) has come about.
secondly assigning custom SMS tones only works if you have them in .wav format and save them in the windows directory.
VISTA can be configured to work with the RUUs we use on here (Rom Update Utilities), and the WMDC (windows mobile device centre) is the vista equivalent of Activesync. Activesync loads all the time on the device but it uses hardly any memory so leave it alone
WM6 may be the way to go for you because you can assign mp3s to alert tones (and not just ring tones as in WM5) however by reading your post it doesnt seem you are quite there yet (reading-wise) to upgrade confidently, your comments on sms tones and activesync show that you havent read enough as these points have been addressed MANY times.
feel free to use my WM6 upgrade guides however do read through the various threads if you have ANY questions you feel have not been answered. As always read the wiki
Hello again, thanks for your reply
Oh I have read many posts regarding sms for instance, but so many different answers.
You can't do it, go away.
You need a 3rd party program, like xxx (which I found didn't do what I needed)
You can only use .wav
Its do-able, but you need wm6
List goes on
I followed your guide to Vista, followed by flashing HardSPL to the letter, I honestly have done (yeah i'm impatient and like to get in the at the deep end)
It doesn't appear to be working however.
Bootloader originaly says:
HERM300
IPL-1.01
HERM300
SPL-1.04
I load up HardSPL and follow your instuctions, however as soon as I hit yes on my device to run the program, it instantly restarts into the Bootloader but this time it says:
HERM300
IPL-SSPL by Des
HERM300
SPL-1.09.ds
After hardspl then times out trying verify the information I do a soft restart to get it all working again.
Now if I put it back into the Bootloader, its back to its original settings?
Any ideas?
Please?
Anyone?
Echo?
your using vista correct? make sure you use the Vista guide and load the driver from a post about upgrading with vista!!! also make sure you uncheck allow USB connections in the Vista WMDC sync setting and before you do any flashing put your phone manually into bootloader. I know vista flashing is a pain at first but you will learn the biggest key is to make sure you uncheck the box in WMDC sync settings and put your phone in bootload before trying to flash
Thanks for the reply austin
Yup using Vista, and did follow the guide.
Although the guide indicates re-enabling the usb sync and leaving the phone in normal running before trying to updated HardSPL
So annoying ;(
as another thought....t-mobile phones are locked to certain settings...
this wouldn't affect it though right?
has anyone experienced this? about a week ago my reminder alarms stopped working..i use them everyday and its quite frusturating. have checked the music file it links to, ive unchecked and rechecked the settings, cant figure it out. havent installed any new programs lately either. the alarm in the time settings works still but i cant get it to find the same mp3 file that the calendar could use?
any ideas?
thanks guys
Fix for 8125 and TILT, may also work on HERMES
This is one of the most frustrating things about Windows Mobile. I had the same problem with my 8125, and it just started on my 2 mo. old Tilt. Even though you have a Hermes, this solution may work because it is a WINDOWS MOBILE problem.
I've done major amounts of research on this subject and many people will tell you you need Memmaid (have it), or SKTools to fix this. Neither worked for me on either phone (except Memmaid is great, you should get it). There are also many other tweaker tricks as well, none of which worked for me. Some even suggest a HARD RESET. Don't do it, it isn't needed.
Here's what worked for me.
On the 8125: pull the battery out while powered on. Put the battery back in, and reset the clock. (the battery trick didn't work on the TILT)
On the Tilt: change the clock to visiting time, and accept changes. Change the clock back to home time and accept changes.
After looking at these solutions I think the clock fix would have done the same thing on my 8125.
I can't take credit for either discovery, however, I can't remember where I read them.
I hope this works for you and the others that experience this most frustrating issue.
Calendar reminders not working on HTC Tytn II (Tilt) + WM6.1
Hi,
I had recently updated my HTC Tytn II (Kaiser/Tilt) from Windows Mobile 6 to Windows Mobile 6.1.
It took me a little while to notice that my calendar reminders were not working. My "Task" reminders were working fine.
I did the suggested fix - which was to change the timezone to "Visiting" and back to "Home" - and now I have my calendar reminders working again. Thanks for the suggestion hksuper!
Prembo.
It works on Polaris too. Thanks you guys so much
Thanks
Thanks hksuper .... I just chaged the clock from home to visiting and then back to home and it worked ,,,, Thanks for sharing this info.
Hi,
I'm glad others are finding this tidbit of info useful.
What bothers me is that the solution is only temporary. It seems like it only lasts for a day and then you have to do the time change trick, which you forget to do. I would set a reminder to remind me to change the time zone, but it wouldn't go off to remind me.
I guess my solution is only a half a solution until someone figures out how to make reminders work permanently on Windows Mobile.
IN other news....I have an iPod Touch, sync'd to my Exchange Server, and it NEVER FAILS TO DING WHEN I HAVE A REMINDER SET. Unfortunately, the reminders don't have as many nice options (like snooze, which I find invaluable). So Apple at least gets points for making it work right. Got that MS?
Cheers!
As an interim solution for you hksuper, why don't you set the reminders on your iPod Touch to tell you when you need to reset the clock....
Seriously though I hope we can come up with a solution to an annoying problem... Come on MS, apples ahead of the game, time for you to get there too....
That is a really good thing to know.
Today I experienced the same problem on my Touch Pro 2, with Windows Mobile 6.5. After doing the clock trick, it is working again.
Hope I don't have to do this daily or else I just throw out this f*cking expensive device
I had this issue in Win 5 when I got my m3100.
I have never had the problem in 6.0 pro though and I use the calendar everyday.
Weird
Solution for calendar reminder problem.
Google "The poorhouse pmClean cab." Download the pmClean cab, perform a clean, and do a soft reset. I'm currently on the NRG Phoenix 2 6.5 ROM on my HTC Fuze and it worked remarkably well.

a BIG Thank you, after 4 years, the same fault is still happening.
my device is HTC Touch HD.
Works on XPERIA X1. Thanks.
The fix also works on my HTC HD2 T9193.
I had this problem a long time ago on win mo 5.0. I'm surprised to see the same problem is still with us.
Hi Folks,
1st thread on here.
Just got myself a spank new Touch Pro2. First thing i did before i started installing my apps was to check HTC website for Updates. Sure enough they had a new ROM version and WM6.5 upgrade. Now i have it working exactly how i want except for LogMeIn. I have used LogMeIN on my HP Ipaq for ages but cant get it sorted out on my HTC. Is it an issue with WM6.5 i wonders?
Basically it looks like it wont work with Opera at all. In Internet Explorer I can download and install the RActrlCE.cab file no prob. Looks good, can login to my list of computers, can even get as far as being connected to the required PC but when i click the Remote Control icon all i get is a white screen.
Any suggestions???
Have the same problem would really appreciate any help... Pls.
wm6.5 comes with the newer version of PIE (pocket internet explorer) which is not compatible with the plugin logmein uses for remote desktop. You can try and do a search to the wm6/6.1 PIE cab file. Hope that helps, cuz I was in the same boat.
LogmeIn works on my 6.5-official ROM in IE.

Not in mine!, you can install IE TOGGLE, it let's you use PocketIE (the old version of IE), with that Logmein works
log me in
it took me ages to work this out... i have to use the old version of explorer (downloaded from here somewhere, although the ie switcher might work also) and i need to use 'kfortp' which lets me type in logmein when i am connected, before i could connect but not type anything. crazy
LogMeIn's response
I raised a ticket with LogMeIn about this and got this highly useful reply 2 days later.
"We have discovered an issue when connecting to a LogMeIn computer using a mobile device running Windows Mobile 6.1.4 / 6.5 and IE6 Mobile. Currently, it is NOT possible to connect with these devices due to incompatibility with the plugin.
I hope this helps. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.

If anyone is reading this don't install kfortouchpro. Which i read on another forum was required to get this to work. I don't see what the need for it is. Plus it froze my Touch Pro2 up on the first reboot after install. Luckily i was able to connect to my phone with activesync and uninstall the app to stop my phone from freezing up . Hope this helps someone. As far as Logmein working just use the two files below. Install XDA first, reboot, install IEtoggle, open IEtoggle, switch IE to PIE, start up IE and sign into logmein. This worked for me. Hope it helps someone. Sorry if this is already on this forum somewhere else.

I tried this and it works but now I cannot get IEtoggle to switch me back to IE6. I tried restarting and then selecting IEtoggle, thinking PIE was somehow still running, but even after this I am still stuck in PIE.
EDIT: Since this original post on 4/18 I have had to do a hard reset, since my email and SMS windows for individual messages (compose, read) were not popping up. I have no idea if it is related to using IEtoggle, but I am not going to use this again on my TouchPro2 6.5 just to be safe.
after some trial and error
Here goes, first off i apologize horizons1. I have the same phone and WM version as you. Haven't experienced any of these problems. All i can say is make sure you install XDA WM 6.1 PIE first, then reboot, then install IEtoggle might of been your problem. After further testing i have found that Kfortouchpro is necessary to log into windows from your log in screen or type any text once in windows. When opening kfortouchpro it lets you switch to M$ IME which is required for your keyboard to work. Now after testing this for a bit, if you don't switch it back to eT9/multiplay in the program before you reboot it will not display your slider bar to unlock your phone on boot up. Only way to fix is with activesync. Have tested this 3 times in different configs. I wish i could just use remote desktop thats built into WM. But i am currently connected behind two routers one being bridged to the other. Have tried many times to get this to work with no luck. So if anyone can help me with that, it would be much appreciated. Too bad logmein won't just patch this problem. Their program works great after jumping through all these hoops to get to your desktop.

Hi Crapbag (LOL - never thought i would address some1 like that )
You will loose the following:
1. Contacts
2. SMSes/MMSes/Emails
3. Any third party program that you have installed or additional .cabs you may have installed.
4. It will reset all your personalised settings and make it like its just out of the box..
You will retain all the programs that came with your HD2.. fo e.g. office.. router.. preloaded games.. compass.. etc.
i am a android, symbian and mobile OSX pro and im new to win mobile so please forgive my questions. now when you say i will loose contacts and messages do you mean the sense UI version of these apps and be stuck with the default windows version of these appsg?

OK.. let me put it in the lamest of the terms..
What you have now on your HD2.. that all will be there in the same way..
When I say you will lose contacts.. i mean the actual contacts... name-number etc... not the format or the sense UI...
Plus all other third party applications lwhat you have installed will be lost... your phone will be like it came out of the box..
ohhh lol i thought u meant the apps lol. im gonna install the rom when i get home. how is everyone finding the new keyboard sensitivity on 1.48?
