Jam application compatibility

I have IPDashboard, Agenda Fusion and Wisbar Advance 2 installed in my Jam. I'm having problems with my PDA not ringing(or vibrating) when in stand-by and need to do a soft reset to enable it again(ringing function). I missed several calls already and I decided to upgrade to 1.06 ROM. i installed the same set of apps and got the same problem. I did a hardreset and have not installed any of the said app and now my Jam works like it should be.
I'm just wondering if any of you are having the same issues that I have and what applications currently installed in your Jam.

WisBar Advance2 is known to have caused problems with Phone Edition devices.
The guy at Lakeridge is even kind enough to inform anyone about this in the middle of the front page on the wisbar download site:
"(Please note that this is not yet compatible with PocketPC Phone Devices)"

stupid me i missed that.. i've used it with my iMate and 6315 before but I dont remember having that problem
thanks!

I had the same problem with Wisbar.
In the Lakeridge forum there is a beta version that solves that problem.
Works for me.
(In the new beta there is also a working signal strength meter.)

i tried the beta.. so far so good. i just can't have a PDA without WA

task bar replacement for Magic Button
Does anyone know of a good task manager/closer that doesn't cause lockups and screen freezes?
I tried using magic button, but its buggy as hell, same with wis bar advance.
If I don't use any task manager, my jam is jamming. no soft reset or lock up issues.
Please help.
thanks

WA 2.0.14 beta works fine with my Jam(as of now). no lock ups or anything. i just cant find any task manager with feature set as WA thats why Im sticking with it(and great support too)

Hi dnp_now,
I'm using vbar (can be found here: http://www.vieka.com/vbar.htm) as well as TillanoSofts SmallMenu (http://www.tillanosoft.com/ce/smenu.html) for switching between apps and closing them on my german MDA compact.
Both of them are running at the same time and are also linked to one hardware button by VITO ButtonMapper (free version for two actions per button is included in a Cebit-Software package available here: http://www.mobile2day.de/cebit/).
This combination is very practible, because I can start and close every program installed on my MDA using the hardware buttons and dont have to use the stylus:
One tap of the hardware button opens SmallMenu with which I can start the programs and switch between already opened apps, two taps on the same button opens vbar, with which I can close the programs (also those running in the background!).
So one-handed operation is possible without any problem. The only downer is that vbar cant' be used in landscape mode, i.e. better close it when switching to LS and reactivate it when you switch back to portrait mode again.
Hope this helps,
greets, BGK[/url]

I would suggest SPB PocketPlus. Very stable, and well worth the money.

jam keeps turning on when connected via activesync
Hello,
Does anyone know why my jam keeps turning on when its connected via activesync?
I put it on standby, then a few minute later it turns on, and try to sync with my desktop. I'd rather have it on standby most of the time.
thanks

TouchFlo 2D Problem

Yesterday i downloaded a Manilla 2D in .cab file. I copied to my phone, install and i have on my screen "Tap here to launch TouchFLO", i take it but it dont work. Can anyone tell me wtf? Plz help

Gonna need a little more info than that, chief.
For instance:
Are you running WM5, or WM6?
Which release of M2D did you try to install?
Do you have HTC Home installed?
Did you RTFA?
...and lastly, try posting your problem in the thread for that application, not in a board three clicks away from it, where the guy that cooked it might never see your questions.

Dude which version of touchflo 2D did you download ? Downloading a single cab install for the Wizard is crazy. Download the 18 Release and make sure you install the Shared DLL's and the HTC Patch for older devices BEFORE installing the manilla cab. The easier alternative is to backup your device and flash a Manilla 2D rom found in the Wizard Mobile 6 Forum

Are you ABSOLUTELY sure you didn't change M2D panel settings, turn on a new panel, or otherwise run a program like M2DC that would create registry entry changes? Did you accidentally enable something other than Manila in the Today settings? Also, check to see if you have enough free memory to actually run it. Lots of people miss the fact that you need to clear out temp files occasionally, and WM5/6 does a terrible job of it. Use ClearTemp if you appear to be running out of memory. Also, make sure that programs you open are actually getting closed. Filling up RAM with running programs (especially those that run on startup, like battery minders, lock programs, script programs, etc.) could also prevent M2D from running.

Use your Diamond - lol - I have never had any problems running opera browser on my device but I have Elfin which has more Rom and Ram memory than Elf. If you have other apps running in background, try making sure they are closed properly through your task manager before running opera browser.

Taskmanagement on HD2?

When I start a program on the HD2 it stays active untill I go to Setting - Other - Taskmanagement and deactivate all.
On my previous HD I had a setting where I could choose to deactivate the program when I choose the [x] on the upperright of the screen. Now there is no possibility to do such a thing and to go to [Setting]-[Other]-[Taskmanagement] each time is not my prefered way of working...
Does anyone knows how to do this on HD2?
Thanks!

I think there should be a taskmaneger settings where you can set on "x" button to close programs not just minimalize. I had it in my TP2 with leo rom i think.

nope, there isnt one.
you need to use the taskmanager

install Showcase, that is similar app... tha press and hold right upper corner...

showcase works great. thnx
not as handy as the quick menu like the HD but this works fine for me

What version are you using?
Showcase did not work on my HD2.

Leo (HD2) comes without HTC Task Manager and this is why you don't have the option to close apps by using "X"
You can install the HTC Task Manager by cab and you will get this functionality.

^where do I get the cab miri?

Are there any performance issues, when installing the HTC Task Manager?
Or what is the reason, why it comes without it?

Because HTC did it again...
A wonderfull phone with a Beta ROM (GPS Lag, No TaskMannager button, No Owner Info to register your Apps, No real Multitouch,...)...

i dont have a gps lag, but i've got the rest.
for the owner info, just put your name in the people/contacts by ME
that should do the trick

What GPS Software do you use?

if you mean navigation,
i use garmin. with all the extras on it,
gps fix is made within in a minute.
with my hd1 it took like 2 or 3 minutes before i've got a fix

I don't know the reason and don't see it causing problems. I'm using it on my ROMs and there are no problems with it.
Probably because HD2 has bigger RAM HTC has thought that it's better to leave apps open on the phone...this way they open faster
I don't have the cab, but you can search on the forums.

If you don't like Showcase, or for whatever other reason, another option is MobileSRC's Flipper (http://www.mobilesrc.com/flipper.aspx). It's got other features besides a task manager (you need to purchase the app if you want to use more than two features at a time), but I've found it works perfectly well as a free task manager.
I don't know how it'll work with the HD2, though, as I'm still waiting mine to arrive, but the app works fine with my TP2.

It's weird that HTC removed the Task Manager. Ok it's a "beast" and can run lots of apps at the same time, but the task manager was a nice way to close apps we don't want open.

This should work.

excellent, I cannot imagine not have a little 'X' to close programs...

SPB Mobile Shell is closing

Hi!
I installed the SPB Mobile Shell v3.5.3.Build.9885.
It's great, but it keeps closing and I don't know why.
I launch any program inside SPB, and after I close the program SPB is closed too.
If I put a widge on screen it closes SPB too.
Is there anyway to keep SPB open all the time?
I'm using rafyvitto's vannila lastest rom.
Thanks!

I had this problem too with the SPB MS 3.5.. I installed once and it closed..
I reinstalled and this issue was ok but it slowed down my phone and the screen
needed to be hard pussed to work and no smoothness..
I don't know what's going wrong. I use the latest original ROM.
Now I have unistalled it and look around for solutions..
It's a pitty because it's the best UI if someone dont want to flash another rom..

how to download spb mobile shell
hi, i'm new here and also i have a very new s200. i'd only like to know how to download this spb mobile shell, i found it very nice and cool. my phone is locked to operator, can still download it. do i have have to dowload it thru my phone or thru my computer,, i'm really a jerk whne we speak about thing regarding computers, downloadings etc; anyway thanks

Look inside SPB settings, I think there is a check box that lets you override the normal WinMo today screen. Something about "use SPB for today screen".
I found it, SPB mobile shell settings/system/ override "start" see if that helps.

not only the "Acer home" but everything else was closed too!!
I've tried a "clean" version of the SPB and with "extras"..
The ram consumtion was dissapointing with everything.. I don't know, it's maybe in my device the problem..

I found the same problem too using official rom 3.003c

My problem was solved by disabling today screen like olsching told.
Start --> Settings --> Today
Go to Item (on botton)
And Disable everything.
