HI
Yesterday i just got my universal, it was long waited and i was so excited that i could barely unpack it ;-)
now i have been playing with it for several hours, and i must say im quite happy, my version is the Qtek 9000 and i dont have the some of the issues that is mentioned here with other brands. mine is fast clearly faster than my old qtek 9090.
what i am a little disapoointed in is more the new windows mobile 5, well i do like the new added functions, and i really like the idea of the new gps api and camera api. i hope this will give is much more software that support thise functions.
there is just a few things i really dont understand why Microsoft has change fx:
- Why has messenger undergone such a downgrade? i liked to have my messenger automatically connect when i got onliine, its not pssoble anymore and alot of other setting are gone also.
- Microsft has change the way memory works by locking the slider, so you cand decide how much to use for program and stoage, fine with me but why on earth cant you place your documents folder on the storage card and have activesync 4 sync it there then????? im i missing something here?
- Activesync is now version 4, in 3.8 you could specify how long back in time you wanted emails to sync, i syncronized 6 month back, in windows mobile 5 you can only use predefined values and it only goes 1 month back what is the idea behind that? why does microsoft thinks they know better than me how long back i want to sync?
But let me say again i am quite happy with my universal, i just dont understand the above changes. i thaoght higher version meaned more options not less :-(
The 9000!??!?!?!??!?!?
Aaaargh!
I must wait until the 11'th of November!
And that's a Friday, so I'll probably have to wait until Monday or Tuesday!
Do you know what supplier your shop bought it from?
I bought i directly from Dangaard denmark, im a registered dealer..
in denmark it was scheduled for november 5. but moved fast when i it suddently was on stock the day before yesterday
you have something to look forward to, i love it
yes yes ok i guess im a nerd lol
You lucky b****rd!!
I've been waiting for AGES for this phone!
Dangaard has it for 11/11-05.. It's a shame..
Dangaard is Danish, right?
Can't help you with your other questions, but I think I know the answer to this one:

The hardware in the Exec is different to any of its earlier relatives. Now we have persistant (i.e. permanent) storage which behaves like a rewritable ROM, plus a 'Programs' memory which is RAM. Your installed programs, files, and documents are stored in the persistant storage and will not be lost even if the battery is completely flat! This is a big step forward from previous models, in which everything was stored in power-dependent RAM.
In the old days you could move the slider to choose between allocation of RAM to storage or running programs because it was all one storage location in hardware. With the Universal we have two physical types of storage so you can't change how it is used.
I agree with the title of your post: One step forward and one back. WM5 is .... different. Not necessarily better from a simple usability point of view. They give us two soft buttons at the bottom of the screen to perform common tasks (which is good ) but this removes a huge chunk of usable screen area (which is bad ). IMHO the benefits of WM5 will only be seen over time.
I agree that it is a huge advantage that we now have persistant storage, but it is really a problem that you cant move the activesync document folder to the storage card, there is not much memory in the internal storage ram in the new version to save data, so if you have fx. a excel document you like to have sync and use on both desktop and pocket pc then you would need to manually copy between SD card and internal memory. To me it really seems like a half finnished and not thought thoug solution they have made here
another thing i noticed about wm 5 and active sync is that you canot change the default folder (in outlook) for syncronising contacts. i tried the tools/options... menu that should give me many settings to do but no good.
and how about sheduling? do you get any settings for that? i dont.
maybe i do something wrong but with the s100 everything was a litle bit more easy.
Strange Issue - Device does not show "free space left" when installing apps. - help?
Bit of a strange one this, but can anyone shed any light.
With my other WM5 devices, a Vario, and a MDA Pro (Wizard and Universal), whenever I install applications to the device via the .cab file, I am asked where I want to install to, Device or Storage Card, and it shows the amount of memory required for this install, and the free storage remaining for that location, which obviously changes as you press the relevant radio button for Device or Storage Card.
However, as best I recall since day one of owning it, on my T Mobile Vario 2, whenever I install applications, it never shows me the free memory remaining bit, so I simply have to make a guess as to where to store it.
Is this a known bug for the Hermes with the standard T-Mobile ROM... or can other normal T- Mobile ROM users state that this behaviour does NOT occur for them, adn that it DOES show all the necessary information whilst installing...?
Thanks in advance.
Ok, let me put it another way...
Can ANYONE tell me if on their Hermes based device, they DO get an indication how much free space is remaining, when they install an application...?
If so, what ROM/Operator...
Almost this entire forum has a Hermes, if you are reading this, likely...
If so, can you do me a quick favour and try this by going through the motions of installing an application, and see.
You don't even need to install the application (any application cab file will do to test this). Simply CANCEL the install, once you ascertain whether it does or doesn't show you how much free space you have, whilst it tells you how much room it will need.
Come on, help me out here - you all have Hermes' - is this just me with this issue...?
Well, just for you I re-syncd my pda and no, it doesn't tell me on my Vario II how much space I have left, only how much space the app will take up.
I don't think it ever has told me.
Hope that helps
On mine it shows spaced required and space available.
I think my sig shows what else I have.
Thanks both...
It sounds to me like it's a ROM issue then... Marissa, is yours T-Mobile or what?
Curious that the AKU 3.3 and thus possibly cooked rom (or the beta one that got released semi-officially), DOES work properly in showing the space required AND space remaining...
That's what makes me think it's a ROM issue...
So can anyone else contribute...?

Er Marisa, having re-read your message, I'm now a bit confused...
Not sure what you mean by "having re-synced my pda"...
Can I clarify, this has nothing to doing with a sync...
I merely mean that if you go to install software on your PDA, usually by way of clicking on a cab file using File Explorer on the device, the device will then sometimes prompt you with a warning, do you wish to install untrusted source etc etc.
If you say yes, the next thing that will happen, is that you will be asked by the pda, where you want to install, if you have a storage card inserted, and have a radio button choice of Device, or Storage Card.
And as you tick one or the other, the text below this will tell you how much space is REQUIRED, and the killer>>> on all previous devices, also how much is REMAINING on whichever storage type you tick - device or card.
But on my Vario 2, it DOESN'T show any info at all about how much is left remaining...
On a vario 1, and a universal, and all my previous windows smartphones, it DID tell you this.
So were you meaning something else, as this is what I was referring to. Or did you just mean you installed an application initially via a PC .exe file, with your device connected, so it then triggered a normal install as above, on the pda...
Just not clear where the bit about PC sync came in.
This has got me a little frustrated, as all I am doing now is banging everything on card, as I now have no indication of how much free memory is on my device, while I install.
(I can go in to check via System Tools from time to time, but this is not the solution...)
Cheers all.
S.
Hi I always install software if possible through an exe file through activesync, most people do.
It does just the same thing, and you get the same messages when you install, and on my install message, it asks on the pda where I want to install the app, main memory or storage card, and how large the app is. But nothing about how much space is left.
It's a T-mobile with the original rom, radio etc etc.
Hope this helps.
I Found That It Doesn't Show How Much Room You've Got Out Of The Box, But When I Unlock My ExtRom Or I Must Enable Some Other Tweak Using HTweakC, Then The Amount Of Free Space Gets Shown.
Cheers
When I install cabs directly from the phone (not activesync), it always shows the required space / remaining space for each medium. I haven't done any ExtROM or CID unlocking, just SIM. Sounds like a rom thing...see sig for details.

Hi Marisa - yes that's great thanks, as what you describe is just another way to trigger the installation - using activesync etc - it just copies the cab across and triggers the install itself, as I do manually.
So you have confirmed that T-Mobile ROM has this problem. Cheers.

Hi, my micro drive keeps coroupting, it happen a few days ago were it said there was no space left although it was only half full, I looked in it with file exploror, all the file and folder names were coroupt. I then hard reset and formated the drive and back to normal then the same happened today, I noticed as Live search kicked up and error on startup so I looked in exploror and all the file names wee croupt and no space soft reset and I've lost 90% of my data on the drive bt it says in setings -- memory that I have about 50% free space (what there should be if all my files where there) but I can't access them does anyone have any ideas how what bor why this is happening?
Pocket Mechanic
I have had this problem ones. I was defragmenting my MicroDrive with Pocket Mechanic and I think that it went corrupt when somen huge files were defragmented. I did a low level format wit Pocket Mechanic and since ten I did not have this problem. I have read that you could also try to format the MicroDrive with WMStorage with your desktop. It works better than te format function of the Athena itself.

I use my MD to store music, movie and photo only.
I heard that HTC released later it's X7500 just to solve some problems with microdrive occurred on Ameo. That's very strange. How ever it's really tragic if I cuoldn't use micro drive for important document storage. It's one of the main reasons why I bought it...

you should really save your application on sd card, because it will save you more battery, yes MD does run faster but i have heard at least 7 user now report they have file loss or MD issue, so you should try to avoid saving important doc in MD. i have never heard people report that file loss in sd so it seems to be a better place for storing important data
Ive been reading posts on other threads in the forums, and it appears some users have had the same issue with SD cards on other devices, Although knobody has Id's the problem yet.

Well, on my Dopod U1000, I have twice experienced the scenario whereby my miniSD shows gibberish characters in File Explorer. I have to soft-reset my device in order for things to go back to normal. I still have no clue what could have gone wrong as I have only installed MapKing and pRSSreader on the miniSD.
Anyway, one of the things I will do this weekend is to reformat the miniSD on my laptop.

I'm planning a travel very soon and I thought to use MD to store pictures and videos I will take. So you advice me to use MiniSD for apps and MD for pics, movies and music? I was also thinking about to buy a portable Hard Disk to dowload every day what is stored on MD. What do you think about it?

personally, i will suggest you to install app in SD, tomtom map should be in SD as well, this way you can save more battery. Store only music and old and movie on MD. These file are large so they should be in MD , and if MD is loss, these data are not important as well, you can transfer again from computer.
Now for the new photo you take by the camera, store them i n SD, organize them then you can store a copy in MD.
Follow the above suggestion, you should then have no problem with all your files, app and data, and it gives you a longer usage time as well

Is this right - My MicroDrive takes longer to do a file listing in File Explorer than the memory or an SD card?
Also, I seem now to have developed a MicroDrive directory and my MD is now called MicroDrive2. The only thing in the MicroDrive directory is an empty directory for email attachments. How could this have happened?
@wu5262
I will follow your suggestions, so I will HR my device and format microdrive and MiniSD as well. Any news about 4gb MiniSd support?
PS I will leave in july...I hope WM06 upgrade will be available as soon as possible...maybe should I wait for it before Hresetting?
About MicroDrive format do I follow procedure within Hreset, when it asks to do Hreset and MD format both?

No - I did ask Outlook to store attachments on the Storage Card (before I had inserted an SD card). I wanted attachments to be on the MD.
Also, I've just noticed I have a directory for attachments on my MD as well!!! I have no idea what is going on.
Do I have to hard reset? (I'm beginning to think my Universal was a lot easier to live with!!!)

wm6 Upgrade isn't coming that soon, no official date yet. All we know is summer, and usually there is a delay. I am using transcend miniSDHC 4GB, it works well on my machine, no problem at all.
When you hard restart, it will ask you whether you want to format the MD, just click yes. I have heard other people saying using other tools to format MD is better, but i have had no problem with the default tool in our machine
I've had the same problem. Won't make the same mistake twice.
I tried to defrag the HD with Pocket Mechanic but it found errors on the HD. So I ran scandisk. Scandisk fixed the problems and when I went back to defrag it locked up and programs wouldn't run and I lost data. Just sucks.
I have since installed all programs to my 4gig miniSD card and am only using the HD for temporary storage.
Hope this isn't an ongoing problem because I paid a lot for this device.

well, we are not really talking about Hermes here, i think the issue is a bit different here, since the MD issue happens more often on the HTC Advantage until instead of others, and personally, i think the Athena's ROM is far more stable then Hermes.
The weird problems happened to my Dopod D810 twice.
The first time: The whole file system on card went crazy with all folder names became gibberish (like: &%*()jhui&%^&&!#%&). After a soft reset many folders disappeared, a few folders remained but became duplicated but many files inside were not readable (e.g there are two identical folders named My ebooks).
I thought it might be card-related and I hard reset, formated the card, and re-installed all softwares.
Today it happened again but differently:
- I had some video files in Storage card\My Documents\My Videos folder like this ... video_28.mp4, video_29.mp4, video_30.mp4
- After a video shot, I opened Resco Explorer to check and to replay but all folders and files previously in Storage card\My Documents disappeared. Other folders and programs on the card were still intact and ran fine
- I tried shooting another few video clips (with option saving to card, of course). They all disappeared after shooting.
- But the weird thing is: After shooting, I chose the preview option and WMP played the file well. I paused the playing, check the properties of the now playing file and it showed clearly: Storage card\My Documents\My videos\Video_33.mp4
But in File Explorer and Resco explorer the Storage card\My Documents is absolutely empty despite the file IS BEING PLAYED in WMP
- I tried again and again, the video clips preview were always named in sequence like video_34.mp4 then video_35.mp4, .... but they all mysteriously disappeared.
What is wrong? Has anyone experienced the same problem? Is that a hardware failure (writing-to-card)? Should I send in for repair? Please help! I have some important clips that I really want to keep. Is there any way, any tool to help recover the files that are probably still there?
Do you have another miniSD to run some tests?
This could give you an idea of what is going wrong?
The miniSD could be malfunctioning.
Regards!
Apparently, you are a new user here...
The Trinity has a hardware problem that HTC can't still fix by now. Go search for some posts. There is currently NO solution available - you may try cards with smaller capacity, or you do some preventive measures, such as install SD Sentry.
I have found that rebooting without the card in and then putting it back in sorts this out. Also I am attaching fixes from HTC and others which stop minimise this happening. Finally, it is suggested you use the Sandisk MiniSD Ultra II cards instead as they have a faster transfer rate. These are available on Amazon for about 15 UK pounds.

Damn it! They're gone
Thanks for all the suggestion.
I did reboot without the card then reinserted it but didn't help.
The card is Kingston 2GB
@Nighthawk2050: what does the first patch do? the second patch seem to be for another set, not Trinity?
@WW2250: what does SD Sentry do?
I bought a Transcend card reader, but could not recover any video files.
The card reader however showed the My Videos folder containing only one last video clip.
It also showed 4 other folders which report error when clicked on

There are also 2 other files
/p300p1..gif (two dots) with a reported size of 1,838,093 KB
i/p320p1..gi with a reported size of 789,709 KB
I think with a faulty product like this, I have the right to return it (to Three Australia - a 3G provider)
I think they only have one other 3G set which is the Dopod 838 Pro
Please advise if the 838 Pro has any similar problem (or other potential problems)?

First patch (miniSD HC Patch.cab) don't work....download the new one from the official thread (anyways, it work only on LVSW's ROM v2.0.1.1 and on AX3L's ROM anyversion) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1341004#post1341004
Second patch (ArtemisSDEnhancement.CAB) is only for ARTEMIS, not Trinity
Try Panasonic SD formater for format your SD card.

The first patch might not be working for WM5, since it was originally extracted from Hermes WM6 ROM. But you mileage may vary.
SD Sentry is a program written by a Spb developer, who had exactly the same problems of you (for his Artemis though). At that time, there was no fix available from HTC. So he wrote that little program to check constantly for indications of SD card corruptions, such as missing files or folders, screwed up file and folder names, etc.
If such indications are found, it offers you a warning and an option to reboot such that you won't be doing further damages to your card writing to it in an already corrupted state. If you reboot in time, you can yourself a day before it wreaks havoc.
For details, you may want to visit his page at http://www.nixie.narod.ru/sdsentry/index-en.htm
BTW, there was an official fix from HTC for Artemis, but none is released for your precious Trinity, AFAIK.

Don't know for sure for 838 Pro - but it seems to me that this problem is a special free feature from HTC for newer devices like Artemis and Trinity. Besides this issue, I think it's not worth to go back to 838 Pro since it's an older device, slower, and has different sets of problems by itself.
I read extensive from the Artemis forum - and from there I learn that they have a worthy workaround that you may want to try: Don't ever press the power button - let the power save timeout take care of shutting down the machine when not in use.
Their theory is that there's a problem with the HW/OS that interact with the SD card whenever there's a power event, probably lies in the cache or the controller, creating corrupted filesystem data, when unfortunately being actually flushed to your card, would actually inflict real damage. So, if you get strange card suddenly disappear errors, strange filename folders, etc... you'd better reboot it immediately.
Removing the card and re-inserting it seems to reinitialize the driver and will probably revive your card too, but I'd say reboot it is your best bet.
Looks like you now need some software recovering tools to savage your files from your already damaged card. Grab as many as you can recover, re-format the card, and install SD Sentry.
I thought Dopod 838 Pro (Hermes 100) is more or less the same as a Trinity with a keyboard and without GPS?
Anyway, maybe I have to stick with this Trinity for now.
About SD Sentry: another program, would it further slow down the phone?

It's incredibly light-weight. I even forgot its existence once installed and configured. It never get into your way unless absolutely necessary - when your card get corrupted
Hope it helps.
Hmm maybe its only my trinity but I observed everytime all the SD data is lost is when I use the internet explorer to download and install something onto the ppc.I've done downloading Flash player 7 from my ppc internet explorer and after a soft reset the sd data is also lost.tell me if I am wrong pls.maybe we can avoid it by not using the ppc i.e. to download stuff and intsall it
if you can reproduce it every time exactly, then it's good. Record the exact procedure and tell HTC about it. I read the guys at artemis forum did that and get a fix from HTC.
I want to do that but I just couldn't reproduce it.
Hello,
same pb with me. Pretty anoying...
I saw that i'm sharing this pb with several people. but doing a wide search on google doesn't give the impression that every body has this pb.
Is it a hardware pb, should I take in back for repair.
Does a WM6 upgrade would solve it ?
thanks for your help.
It's indeed annoying especially when you got nothing left in the card. I don't know about the scope of your search in google - but it's a pretty big problem here in this forum - definitely not limited to Trinity or Artemis.
I am sure not everyone encounter this problem - since it's quite related to write i/o activities to the card. Playing music with media player count as one - since it updates (read: writes) the DRM files in the card automatically whenever it is running; people who use camera reported corruption; and the original poster who downloads and installs cabs on the card.
It's definitely a hardware + software problem, which might be able to get fixed by a software driver patch, but only after HTC has identified the root cause of the problem. That's why I asked s4cr3d to report the bug to HTC if he has a recipe to reproduce the bug step by step.
Take it back for repair? Forget it. WM6 doesn't seem to resolve it as well. I read someone with WM6 (cooked) still have this problem. Don't know about the official rom.... yet.
thanks for your answer. need to wait then... still great device...
I'm using AX3L's ROM v2.0.8 and I must say the SD problem affects WM6 cooked ROMs too. It seems to me that it has something to do with software/hardware incompatibilities.
The specs are as follows:
- Corsair 2GB MiniSD
- AX3L v2.0.8
- AX3L ExtROM v2.0.5
The problem started when I used Resco Explorer's built-in unzip tool to unzip a file onto the Storage Card. Everything went ok until I opened up "Storage Card" and went, "where's the My Documents folder?". In a spectacular twist, I managed to corrupt the card (thru formatting, re-formatting again and again) and now it's dead. I used Panasonic SD Formatter, formatting in Linux, etc. and they weren't much help. My word of advice is to store everything safe in your computer the moment you see disappearing files because it might just go downhill from there.
I strongly believe it is Resco Explorer but I cannot verify this cos' I don't wanna screw up more cards.
I have since bought a Sandisk 1GB card and reflashed AX3L v2.0.8 without the ExtROM (and so, no Resco Explorer). It might be the card, it might be Resco Explorer but I have had no problems since (it's been 10 days now).
Anyway, hope this helps someone in some way. Will definitely try the SDSentry program just to be absolutely safe. These cards don't come cheap over here..
Has anyone installed the newest update of CoPilot for the HD2 (8.0.0.659-2577) who had the regular version (8.0.0.620-2577-tts) installed? I know you lose TTS, but what do you gain? Would it be worth spending $5.50 to add TTS to the newest HD2 version?

I'm installing it right now, but it doesn't seem to get finished for a while.
It's been going on for 30 minutes, and the install-bar doesn't show any progress yet...
This should be interesting!
Ill keep you posted!
It got finished at last
I waited for half an hour, but i got tired and pressed the start button, and closed every program that was running. After stopping the last program, the install pooped up, and asked me where I wanted to install the program. After that, it took 5 seconds, a restart, and finito'!
I did an update this afternoon without any problems. It was free for me. I unzipped the files on my Mac, copied the folder over to the memorycard and autoplay startet the installation when i put the memorycard back in the phone. No problems at all. Installation finished in seconds.
CoPilot Update
Installed the update this afternoon. No problems at all.
Also installed 'text to speech' and 'live traffic' update. Again no problems.

Weren't you charged for TTS? According to the website it's an additional $5.50US. Or did I miss something?

Hi
I've had it installed for nearly 3 weeks now and yes I paid for the TTS and
the Live services and I've got to say poor old tomtoms not been used since.
Its had a LOT of use the last couple weeks and it really is very very good.
I've had no delays or funny little quirks at all.
I wasn't convince the TTS was going to be much more than a gimmick
but its been really useful.
I honestly can't fault it now I've got used to it.

Whats the difference between pan eu and eu major updates?
Those who have installed the new HD2 version over the old STANDARD version (not the pre-installed HD2 version)...any registration/license issues?

Hi!
I installed the HD2 version over the trial version. I did only get problems!
I told me " error; License Invalid. Please contact support at
(link to support.alk)* for more information. (-709)", so I tried to contact CoPilot on mail and twitter. After a few mail, I got these instructions;
*I can't post links...
1) Can you uninstall CoPilot first by going into SETTINGS | REMOVE PROGRAMS and uninstall all CoPilot items (you might find two there).
2) Once completed, delete the \CoPilot folder on your Storage card
3) Extract the ZIP file again to the root of the storage (if done correctly you should see a 2577 and CoPilot folder at the root of your Storage Card)
4) Then in File Explorer browse to \Windows and delete the file called
liccp8.dat (I couldn't find this exact file, but there was a file, with a similar name, "licp8.dat", so I deleted that one)
- You may also have to go into \Program files, and delete anything from CoPilot there as well!
5) Once completed, browse to \Storage Card\2577 and tap the copilot.wmppc.cab to install
6) Launch CoPilot and you will be asked for your Product Key Code which is *****-*****-*****-*****-*****
7) You will also be asked to activate and create a CoPilot ID email address and password
This worked for me!

Well not in the UK anyway
I got the email from alkservices on the 22nd of March
and upgraded straight away cause I'm like that
Oh and no registration issues either
which was nice
I'm sorry, I may not have made myself clear. I am currently running the standard, licensed version of CoPilot, which I installed over the pre-installed version (which was also licensed) that came with the HD2. My main questions are:
1. Has anyone else running the standard, licensed version (not the pre-installed HD2 version) installed this new HD2 version? If so, were there any licensing issues?
2. When you did the install over the standard, licensed version, did you delete the old version first?
2. Has anyone noticed any additional features that were not in the original HD2 version OR the standard version? The standard version, for instance, does not link to the Footprints functions of the HD2. I'm assuming that the link exists in the new HD2 version.
Hope that makes things clearer.

With my supplied HTC HD 2 the CoPilot was on the accompanying storage card. I discarded this and installed the separately purchased CD Version of CoPilot on my own replacement 16Gb card.
To answer your questions:
1. Obviously I am running the fully licensed version and there were no licensing issues.
2. Obviously most of the old version software was discarded with the removal of the supplied storage card so I did not bother to delete the old supplied version.
3. I do not use the Footprints function.
I am absolutely delighted with the enhanced CoPilot with speed limits, Live Traffic information and the text to speech additions, etc etc
Telenav, not CoPilot
I received my T-MO HD2 today, and it has Telenav, not CoPilot, installed. I have a licensed version of CPL 8 on my TouchPro2, so tomorrow I'll figure out how to transfer it over. I do NOT like Telenav!
