Office 2010 beta questions... - HD2 General

If I get a new HD2 and install the Office 2010 beta, what happens to the version that is installed on the phone by default?
I assume also that the beta expires (I seem to remember hearing that it will expire in May) so what happens then? The beta users are left with nothing, or will Microsoft have the GM version released by then (not holding my breath given their track-record on released dates.)
Thanks.

You could install the old version back. If you search, you will find the cab file. And you can install it on the storage card.

If you uninstall the 2010 Beta, the normal office will be back!

Anyone know where I can get the cab for office 2010 mobile?

Seen it there buy it will only install to main memory, i want to put it on memory card. No longer available direct from Microsoft.

Is there a way to install the supplied rom version of office to the storage card? Im guessing this would free up a decent amount of space?

G-sensor
Does this version support G-sensor or do i have to create/edit some regkeys?

G-sensor is part of your hardware......and some programs use it indeed.....but Office 2010 don't think so......

Microsoft Money Users Tip

OK, I realize that this won't matter to many of you, but since I searched on here earlier hoping someone would know, maybe I can help someone in the future.
If you use Microsoft Money 2003 and sync it to your handheld, you'll find that once upgraded to Windows Mobile 2003, the installer won't install on the handheld (It expects PPC 2002). To work around this, you need to visit Microsoft's site www.microsoft.com/money and download the 2004 version of pocket pc money. Now it will install on the handheld but won't recognize money on the PC, so you download the older PPC 2002 file (from www.pocketpc.com's download section) and it will create the appropriate entry in ActiveSync.
Just an example of an oddity, perhaps it will help someone else.
I ended up upgrading to PPC money 2004 and then to Money Deluxe 2004 to get it to work properly. Both files can be found for free if you search around. I used eDonkey.
If thats not blatent I dont know what is ... LOL
like record companies... if Microsoft stopped screwing its customers then they might actually buy something?
I'm a little against using software from MS that I havent bought.... means they can still add me as statistic on who uses Microsoft...
80% of desktops run Windows... prolly 25% of that is legit
Pocket money 2004 for WM2003 and for MS Money 2004 is exist.

Even if It was one year ago, problems are always the same. I have upgraded to MicrosoftMoney 2005, an Cash Organizer Money Sync 1.1(the last one) doesn't recognize MM2005 version (it aspects 2004 one) and so I can't install it on my PC and on my Qtek2020. I had upgraded MM2004 version to 2005 one, manteining Cash Organizer Money Sync 1.1 installed. But on Syncronizeing it didn't recognize MM2005 version. Than I tried to uninstall Cash Organizer Money Sync 1.1 and to install it trying to let its see MM2005...but it didn't.How can I create the appropriate entry in ActiveSync so that MM2005 be recognized?
so you download the older PPC 2002 file (from www.pocketpc.com's

Microsoft Office Mobile 2010 Reaches Beta. Any words of CAB download?

I'm looking forward to testing the new Office Mobile 2010. If anyone knows where I can find cab (or exe) to download I will appreciate.

You can download it from the marketplace, or you can visit these posts for a .cab.
Below is a link to the marketplace where you can get it.
http://marketplace.windowsphone.com...rch.aspx?keywords=Office Mobile&wa=wsignin1.0
If you're serious about running business-quality software on your PDA, try Softmaker Office instead. It's what mobile documents should be. Even the MS desktop version has very, very little over the mobile version of Softmaker. And the desktop version of Softmaker is every bit as good as MS Office in all respects. And for about $80 you get a license for both the desktop and PPC versions.
Thanks to All. I could have checked Marketplace before asking. Sorry about that.
I couldn't imagine the Beta would be available there for download.
Thank to all of you guys.

Thanks, I couldn't find it.
For some reason it doesn't appear in My Market Place on my Xperia X1. I am running Windows Mobile 6.5
I went to the Market Place website on the PC and "bought" it there. Still doesn't appear on Mobile.
Downloaded the cab file from link and installed ^^ thanks.

Are you in the States?
I have the same problem - it isn't listed in Marketplace, but I am in Canada. I am running an old HTC S620 with a 3VO 6.5 cooked ROM (which runs great and indentifies itself as a 6.5 device)
I have heard that it is only available in the States currently. I am now running the Office 2010 Beta on my desktop (and love it - was using 2003 PRO)

Yes, I second this - Soft Maker has been indispensable for mobile document processing. Its worth every penny you plan to spend!

T-Mobile MDA Compact V WM6.5 available for UK

Maybe someone has already posted this, but the T-Mobile MDA Compact V update to Windows Mobile 6.5 is available on the UK website:
http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/help-and-support/index?page=home&cat=SOFTWAREDOWNLOADS&tab=1
Let me know how you get on, and then I may try it myself!
Thanks for the update! Been checking almost every day, but forgot today...
I sent mine off for repairs a few weeks back and it came back with 6.5 on it. Dumped the ROM and posted it on here in the Topaz ROMS section.
http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581070
BTW it's way better than the 6.1 stock rom but not as good IMO as the cooked rom I'm using (Dutty's HG1)http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=579076
Yes it pretty much still sucks. Better Home Screen please T-Mobile? Maybe throw some Sense UI type widgets in there??
A list of pros and cons (specific to this phone) would be useful. I read of one con: the standard WiFi connection has gone. Has anyone found improvements in Bluetooth connectivity/functionality?
Does anyone know if it has CoPilot 7 preinstalled (like the T-mobile 6.1 ROM)?
My wife had a real problem getting CoPilot working when she got the Compact V. The 18 month freebie ran out after 1 month and, in the end, T-mobile just sent her an unlimited license key.
Because she had this much hassle to get CP7 working, I've not wanted to put another ROM on for her, which would mean she loses it. [I'm not sure whether everything she'll need to reinstall CP7 is on the storage card (which she can then use her license key with) or whether there are key files that are only present in the T-mo ROM.]
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks Mike. Been checking every flippin day for this.

If you use Firefox, install the 'Update Scanner' add-on. This monitors web pages for changes. It is also good for snapping up returned theatre tickets!

I've just rung 150 with the same question and had no sensible reply back [it did include the usual 'nothing to do with us' comment, even though T-Mob are who 'sold' us all Co-Pilot so it is very much to do with them]. I have been promised a call back in 20 minutes...

I have an idea that CoPilot is associated with the SDcard. I upgraded my SD-card from the standard 2GB to 8GB. I copied CoPilot across, but it would not work. I had to first unregister it from the old SDcard and reregister on the new SDcard.

I did just copy the files over to a 16gb card and it worked. This was before I had the correct license installed. But then that is just a text file isn't it, so can be readily copied around between cards. The programme itself was pre-installed on the handset. What we were not given was a retail sd card version of the programme - the card didn't have the 2577 folder that a retail version would have included, so we are not in a position to reinstall.
Yes this does have CoPilot 7 preinstalled on it. The main program is built into the ROM. You will also need to keep the SD Card files as they are still necessary.
*BEFORE* you upgrade, you first have to deactivate your CoPilot key in the CoPilot 7 Licensing screen. This will give you a deactivation code.
You then go to the ALK deactivation website on your computer (just do a search) and enter the product key and new code.
Then you can flash the 6.5 ROM and reactivate your CoPilot 18-month license.
Forget to do this and you'll have to deal with ALK directly and get them to deactivate it after the fact.
Thanks very much for confirming this. Now of course my wife is asking what else is actually better about the 6.5 ROM. Although I jumped at the chance to upgrade my TP2 when the new ROM came out, I must admit I'm struggling a bit to tell her what the killer features of the new ROM may be!
- Marketplace, well that's available in 6.1 now anyway.
- Slightly more touch friendly, but nothing too groundbreaking.
- Weather wallpaper - not sure if this is even in the T-Mobile ROM as they managed to mangle the TouchFlo clock in the stock 6.1 ROM.
- ???
Anyone have any thoughts on what might persuade my "if it ain't broke, don't fiddle with it" wife to upgrade?

FWIW - I seem to recall that after a hard reset, the first boot seemed to take a long time and I got the impression this was because CoPilot was installing itself. I also found a Copilot*.cab file (8Mb or so in size) in the \Windows directory, so I wonder whether this is basically the same as would be present in the 2577 folder.
Of course, I haven't actually tried using this to install on a clean ROM...
Agree that one does, of course, need the SD card as this has all the map data, etc.
Just wanted to say that I was unable to deactivate my copy of CoPilot 7 Live on my Compact V, the option just wasn't there on the licensing page. I went ahead and upgraded my rom anyway and am now unable to use CoPilot, so for anyone else wanting to upgrade, if you can't deactivate then CoPilot will not work when you upgrade.
Hopefully ALK will sort this for me.
I had this problem after resetting my Compact V (6.1, not tried 6.5 yet). I still had the original product key/licence code in my IE url history. After relaunching this page I selected the 'free trial' option and it worked!
I have upgraded the OS, but the previous product key that gave me full European cover didn't work. I reinstalled Copilot using the cab file - as metioned above - and that allowed me to start the registration process again, as when I first got the phone. This opened up Internet Explorer, and offered a 18-month evaluation for £0 but at the end of the process it is only UK/IE
Anyone got it back up to full EU?
ps I too didn't have any deactivate options originally, though I do now...
New query - On the web I see lots of screen grabs and videos of Diamond 2s with 6.5 and home screens featuring animated weather, more colourful icons along the scroll bar, etc. Have T-Mobile provided an older version of HTC Sense in this ROM [2.1 instead of 2.5]?
Yes it is older. Not sure which Sense UI is used, I got rid of T-Mobile 6.5 once I installed it (hated it personally) and went the Cooked way....

Microsoft Office Mobile 2010?

It's available on the Marketplace. Just do a search on the word "office" and it finds it. (Did for me anyway!)
does it worth it the 2010 Office? Is there big improvements?

As far as I've read on other sites, no. People are slating it for being exactly the same as previous versions. You'd be better checking the microsoft site to see what improvements (if any) are in there.
i've got it installed and it is pretty much the same as the old version, though i'd say scrolling through excel files is easier now but it all still looks the same, apart from the new icons. The only new addition is SharePoint workspace which i haven't really used
ok thanks, i think i will wait for the 2011... or the upgrade of windows m7...
OneNote Mobile was supposed to have been improved in Office Mobile 2010, but the Beta is exactly the same as the 2007 version. Maybe the improvements will appear in the final version.
Does anyone know if 2010 will allow you to edit powerpoint documents? I'd find that really useful.
I have installed the Office Mobile 2010 but when I restart my phone, it crash the services.exe so no choice but to revert back to the old Office Mobile.
Anyone got the same problem also?

As far as I understand that's exactly what it does, although apparently when your main memory is full you can choose whether to remove old apps or install to storage card. Why you can't choose in the first place is beyond me.
That's "What's new" according to MS:
http://www.microsoft.com/Office/2010/en/mobile/default.aspx
As I see it the major inovations are Sharepoint, Outlook and copy/paste across apps.
Office 2010 is practically the same thing as far as I can see. On a mobile phone the main thing that office should do best is document viewing on the go. its not too good for that and unfortunately the iphone is better for viewing. The furthest zoom isn't far enough. The zoom levels are quite far apart and it's not fast or fluid. After that, it should have a function to edit a document. Quite a weak effort imho.
It has threaded view of all emails (not just Exchange) ... similar to sms feature ...
http://www.wmexperts.com/latest-version-outlook-features-threaded-email-messages
I think most of the main updates are around email and will only work with Exchange 2010.

Yes - I tested this and it worked quite well... You select the relevant text box and then you can edit the text in a simple text editor window... It also worked very well on a fairly complex PPTX file (9MB) with lots of text animations.

Marketplace problems

Hi.
Just wanted to upgrade Office to 2010, was excited to do it.

Same Problem office 2010 Mobile
hello I have the same problem. I can Install the Office 2010 Mobile with success.
word starts ok but excel doesn't want to start. gets the stupid errors when trying open excel doc. and if I trying to create a new one nothing happened. pushing the new button and nothing. I Tried several installs both on memory card and phone card but same result. using the 2007 for now.... hoping to find a solution.
Yes, sure
The Marketplace is a application from Microsoft and have a very big space consuming from memory of PDA and there are some bugs too. The better way to install the programs from Marketplace is a searching the web for the original version. The new version of Office Mobile 2010 have some problems too, I installed the aplication a month ago - and have some errors. Now I use a older but stable version of MS Office on PDA...originally preinstalled
market place has been working fine for me. i have it installed on my device (set settings to install apps on storage card) and can install apps (including office 2010) over 3g. so far, no poblems with marketplace for me
my personal experience for office 2010 has been a positive one. i've used my phone to give a presentation in class using power point and i write assignments in word (spell check, word count, and even added headers and footers too).
One note
If I installed MS Office 2010 on X2 - the One Note and Excel was not able to open it. Do you have perfectly working all aplications from MS Office 2010 ?
