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

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.

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.

Installation was unsuccessful

Guys help me please!!!
When i try to install some .cab file i've receive message ""Installation of [Program which is installing] for windows mobile.CAB was unsuccessful
I try to flash rom 2-3 times, but still makes the same problem

what CAB file you are installing? maybe the CAB file youre trying to install is not compatible for your device...

- To restore to factory settings Go To Settings/System/Clear Storage input 1234 and tap OK... this will return all youre system settings to factory defaults (WARNING) this is like HARD RESET!

I tried with "Clear Storage" option, but again without success
Any other advices ?

Try to hard reset your device this will restore everything back to standard
Hold camera and comms button press reset with your stylus keep holding buttons untill message appears on screen then release both buttons and press green send key
A message should appear saying formatting and your device will reset you will go through the set up like a newly flashed rom ie,, calibrate screen ect..
Or you can look on wiki for more
Also i see that you are having trouble installing those cab files you must make sure that the version you are trying to install is both compatible with your device and compatible with your windows mobile version

I fix the problem
Windows Vista makes me this problem, i tried to install .cab files on XP and everything works perfect
Thanks to all
Sorry for my bad English

arrrgh
nice to hear this!!!

no wonder Microsoft scrapped that crappy OS but now they are making an even worse pile of crap

I don't know about Windows Mobile but I had almost the same problem on Android, maybe this explanation can help you and you can look for your own solution then on the Windows Mobile side.

Phone problems!!!

Hi everybody,
I have got the LEO last week. I had several problems I could solve, but one big I could not solve yet.
It belongs to the Phone. After making a call, I am not able to make a second one. The application freezes, when I close it, I am not able to open the Phone again. Making a call from the history list is also sometimes something i can not do.
Can please somebody help me? Without the posibility to make easy and quickly calls the LEO is for me useless.
Thank You very much in advance!!!

i have the leo 4 7-8 months.never had problems.tried soft reset?if that wont help i believe that you must go 4 hard reset
maybe some program you put makes that.

If your LEO is giving so much problems within a week, you probably have a mondaymorning model.
Try to exchange it at the shop as it is not funtioning properly. (In EU this is consumer right)
If not possible,
What is it you have done to your phone allready?
You mention having problems and solved them, can you remember what you have done?
Has your phone ever funtioned without problems?
Try to do a complete factory reset or hard reset (look here)
Then format SD (first save data somewhere)
After reset/format does your phone function correctly?
Furthermore:
If you install apps/enhancements/skins, install all apps you need for your phone running on your device.
If you remove SD, your device should be able to startup without any problems, only applications you use besides the normal startup should reside on sd Card.
So for example:
Cookies home tab (becomes part of home screen)=> on device
Igo8 Navigator (Started manually after boot) => on sd card
Task manager (runs allways on background) => device
Games like experiment 13 => on sd card
[....]

if its brand new, get a new one, otherwise
backup
hard reset
if fixed, ok!
if not fixed,
try find an updated stock rom (if you want to stay stock) or get HSPL and flash a cooked rom.
If problem fixed, ok!
if not fixed, hardware problem.

Thank You for the replies. In the morning I tought the problem is fixed, but is not. Can be Cookies home tab a problem?

well it could be cookies but thousands of people use cookies so its unlikely.do you have loads of stuff installed?
also, are you restoring registry settings when you flash? because you shouldn't do that when you go to a new ROM. registry settings backup is only really for restoring to the same rom after hard reseting.

I tried to found an official ROM update for my device. I found one, but the only change is the launching date. On my device is one from 11.1.2010 and I have found one from 4.6.2010. Does it make sense to update?

[Q] Blue screen, HTC sence crashed.

Good evening.
My HTC crashed. this is the six time now..
So let me tell you what's the problem, hopefully you guy's can help me.
This happend last time:
I was typing an sms and after a while i tilt my mobile to landscape mode.
After doing this my mobile wouldn't return in normal screen mode.
so i soft rest my mobile.. not so smart move.
the text sounds: "tap here for loading HTC sence".
If i tap this it says: "HTC sence loading" but it will return to: "tap here for loading HTC sence".
I cant go into my startscreen so doing anything isn't an option.
Well i soft reset like 5 times and 3 times i yank the battery out while booting but it will ceep telling me the same thing...
My phone: HTC touch HD.
The rom i use: kwbr topix version 3.6
mmm i can't put an link in this post so the thread is: showthread.php?t=460640
So if anyone has an idea for me. that would be great!
I haven't done a hardrest before and I instald my ROM 5 times before now..
Thanks anyway.
Leek.

if just sense isn't working there's no problem, just backup your pim data and any other important files (pictures...) and hard reset the phone.

So if I take all my files from my SD-card and copy them to my PC (or take my SD-card out of my phone) and preform a hard-reset, then is there a chance that my phone will be alive again?
And a question:
A hard rest can be done by: pressing both volume button's and the powerbutton?
Thank you very much!

a hard reset does not affect the contents of the sd card, but the entire internal storage, meaning the space, where "\My Documents" and other folders are located, including all your contacts, messages...
you should sync your pim data (contacts, tasks, appointments...) either with outlook (that does not save your sms!) or with MS myphone (saves all) or pimbackup (saves all) and save your ringtones and possible photos stored internally, you can backup those files either with ms myphone as well or just copy and paste them to the storage card.
also, remember, a hard reset will delete all the programs installed and their respective settings, so keep your needed cab files present.
setting up the device after the hard reset will take some time, keep that in mind, but if you actually never performed one before, you will realise a huge improvement in speed.

Ok thank you very much.
I will preform a hard reset tonight so I can use it soon again ^^.
The data standing on my internal storage isn't usefull anymore. It's already on my pc so when I get home, I'll hard reset it right away!
Speed improvement is alway's welcome!
I'll let you know if my phone works again.
Thanks.

Wauw it worked perfectly!
The hard rest of my phone took only a minut, so that was far much better then installing the ROM over and over again!
Thanks for your advice.

yes, reflashing the rom does not really change anything, as long as you don't hard reset after flashing. to keep ypur phone clean and fast and not pollute it with old trash, always perform a hard reset after flashing. it is highly recommended when changing roms, and when staying on the same one, a hard reset can solve nearly any software related issues that appear over time

New problem...
My phone is acting weird again..
The problem is the startup now.
It takes around 5 min to get to the home screen.
but when you think its finaly started, then there appears an error:
Run FILEOP
\windows\Menu_FILEOP_Operator.txt
faild.
What can i do about this?
Hardreset again?
(this would be my 13th time that my phone crashed... i'm becomming crazy..)
can anyone help me with this?
Greets,

1) Backup all PIM data.
2) Preform Task 29(that's the topic showthread.php?t=653604)
3) Flash with the ROM you like
4) Hard reset 1 or 2 times depending of ROM requirements.
5) Restore the PIM data.
6) Have fun
