Clubimate and DirectPush....possible?

hello everyone!
I just flashed my device with the latest jasjar rom available. Small changes, but nonetheless exciting ;-)
I desparately find great advantage in using direct push...and was wondering how i could get it working. I have a couple questions, and would really appreciate it if someone could help me through
1. Is it possible to use the account which is free from clubimate.com?
2. How do i configure direct push to work?
3. Is it really instantaneous, if so, would my device constantly keep pinging or something to report being live and ready?
4. How is it when compared to blackberry? Afaik, i think bberry integrates with the cell phone provider, and an sms-like alert wakes the device for recieving the mail through gprs mode of data transfer. I might be halucinating here with my own theories ;-)
What would be great, is an idiots guide to getting it up and running!!!
Thanks for your time!

come on!!!!!! someone must have tried it :-(

i dont think imate have done the exchange sp yet, 4smartphone.net is now what im using with my normal pop account.
4$ a month on the lowest setup, easy to setup, and works great.

@dreamtheater, suggest you look at the Clumimate site and ask i-Mate the same questions you posted here.
Use of the Exchange server is free for a year if you have bought an i-Mate device and about $69 if you have one second-hand (pre-used) device and would like to use the Exchange service.
edit: also look at this thread on AK2U which covers battery impact of Push email http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=41659&highlight=review+ak2u

Thanks Carnivor & Jah!
I have another Imate device (a hima)...so i have an exchange account created at clubimate...
I tried getting it to work, and these are the problems that i face currently...
1. There is a constant problem with authentication. It syncs successfully, give it a couple minutes, and on the next sync it asks for the password. When i enter the correct pass, it says its wrong and keeps asking...and theres nothing that i could do. I have to manually log in to my web access through my laptop, hit on "log off", and then retry on my ppc for it to work. This is frustrating
2. I havent found a way to configure it to use my exisiting mail account. Is it possible to do it with other providers (4smartphone.net for instance?). I would typically like to provide my pop3 and smtp details to transact with!
Thanks again, i'll be looking into 4smartphone.net and seeing if it fits my needs, thanks again so very much!
Cheers,
San

I just got a trial account up and running with 4...
It works good, and i'm just checking around to see if its a practical solution from MS...
I'm not too concerned about higher data transfers (i dont think it does anyway...its just a heartbeat packet sent out once in a while), but i'm definitely worried about my battery life. I'll see how it goes, and write back! Otherwise, it looks like a good solution for me....so thanks for the suggestion m8!
I'm however contemplating which solution to go for, the $4 or the $6!

A couple of pains...

Hello all
Right, so I've had my Wizard for a couple of months so far and it's struck me as a wonderful piece of miniaturisation. But I've found the OS lets it down - WM2005 tries to do too much and thus fails as the basic features, stability and user-friendliness. Anyway, bashing Microsoft isn't why I'm here today
I've managed to sort out most of the pressing concerns with the device, especially the sluggishness (fixed with a firmware upgrade from O2, my carrier). But there are a few things that bother me still:
1) When adding a new ToDo task or contact, the first field loses focus after a random amount of time, halfway through typing. This is incredibly annoying as I have to, after typing in thef first few letters, refocus the cursor at the end of the text to continue typing. This only effects the default (first) field selection, ie, the contact or task name.
2) When plugged into my PC, it appears as a network device. Fair enough, I can see the logic behind a phone being classed as a network device. What's annoying as that whenevr I plug it in, a network connection is set up which become the primary - overruling my LAN connection to the internet. Now I never use my phone as a modem, but I still have to unplug or disable it if I want to access the web or do other PC-based networking activites.
3) Hotmail. I can't believe this was built into the email client. How can it be removed? And can the 'Outlook' email be made to download email directly? It's completely pointless to have to maintain two email profiles for the same account - one for email received via Outlook and the other for directly downloaded messages. I need to reply to SMSs for them to be marked as 'read'. Anyone know if this is usual behaviour? Better yet, are there any decent alternatives to the messaging suite? I really loved the threaded SMS views of the Treo and its email client, but haven't found any PocketPC equivalents.
4) I'm really hating Outlook on my desktop - the only reason I installed it was to allow (half) my emails to by sync'ed. I've been yearning to get back to Thunderbird but have been held back by my phone. However, recently, I heard of something called FinchSync, which claims to allow Thunderbird-WM2005 email/contact sync'ing. Anyone used it?
5) Skype. I like Skype and would love to see it on my phone. I knew when I brought it that it probably wouldn't be able to run it and my tests (even if OC'ed to 252MHz) show that it doesn't really work (gets tantilizingly close). Yet I hear people claiming it works perfectly on their devices - I was wondering if there's a clever trick to this.
Phew - that's a load!
Thanks

it has to be related to your PC networking settings[routing i think]. right now my wiz is connected and I use net ;]

I think this is related to way of managing mails. Outlook is build in acount fo handling sync'ed mail's and standard pop3 is for handlig popped mails. Actually I am not syncing my e'mails (my inobx on pc is larger thn my sd card ) but imo there is another way of managaging (ie. on my pop3 account emails are deleted from device when read and older than settins)

iv that was a help, np. [/quote]

Hi savac
Thanks for the reply - I'm thinking you're right about the networking issues being on the desktop.
You got your Skype on a ROM - I downloaded mine from the Skype website. I opted for the 'low power' version, I assume that's the one everyone else uses?

Emoze - Unable to connect to server

Hi
I am trying to set up an account using Emoze.
I have downloaded the WinMo Client and installed no issue on my phone. However, when I try to set up an account I get the following message "Currently server is not available. Please try again later". This has been an issue since Xmas day.
I have deleted the app and reinstalled a number of times but always with the same result.
Has anyone else been able to set up an account?
Would someone be willing to check for me please?
I have attached the cab file below. You will not need to actually set anything up, if you click add account and then get to the next page without the error message, you've got further than me and I'll know that there is something wrong with my device!
I am using ROM 1.61.
Would really appreciate any help!
On a seperate note. I'm trying to use this to access my OWA account as ActiveSync has been disabled by my company. I have also tried Seven but have not been successful setting up an account.
Does anyone know of any other service that allows you to access emails via OWA when AciveSync has been disabled. I found Chronobis but it only supports one way i.e. you cant delete emails from your phone and have them delete in your exchange server. Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks

I've been able to use EMOZE on my HD2 to access the company's OWA since i've got it. I've actually installed in few times since i kept on changing my ROM version till i found one i was fully happy with.
Let me know what it is your doing exactly and i'll try to help you out.

Still waiting for your response on what to do with emoze

Just sent you another reply via your email, and have attached a snapshot of both my OWA and my POP3 account configured on my HD2.

Gmail push

Does this definitely work?
I have followed the instructions off of Google's webpage but I can't connect.
The error says the password is incorrect. I tried changing my password with no effect.

It does definitely work. I have found that always using the full email address when the setup asks for name is necessary. Also, you need to tick the encrypted connection selection box. Server address is m.google.com.
It should work...

Cheers for the reply. Changing the username so it includes the full email sorted it.
For some reason it will only sync when google calender is turned off. It is all activated in my google settings so I have no idea why it's spitting feathers now!
Thanks for the help!

Sometimes it works, other times the server is down or has major problems (which is very often) - conclusion, it just doesn't work reliably.
I'd suggest to use SchedHandler, emails come in much faster (literally within a second) and battery consumption is much lower than gmail's acticesync solution. And it works a million times more reliably.

I have taken your advice and am trying SchedHandler. However, I am finding it tricky to get the settings right for a normal gmail account - for instance, what is 'Wheel Time Checking'? Also, when an email is marked as read on my HD2, this does not seem to feedback to the gmail server (i.e. the mail item is not marked as read on the wenmail page).

You won't need Wheel Time Checking for your purpose
I agree SchedHandler takes a little while to figure out, but after investing 10 minutes you're good to go and your life will be better - just saying.
If you need more help I suggest to ask in the SchedHandler thread, (or to do a little seach in there)

That's true, I don't think there's anything that can be done about it. It does work the other way around though.

won't recognize <mailto:[email protected]?subject=test

Hi all,
I have a little problem with email links in a email on my HTC HD2. When i click on the link it will open a screen to check the emailadress. And it will put the whole link there and won't recognize the mailto and subject.
What can this be, on my pc the link works correctly and on a iphone or older HTC it works.
thanks for any reply.
eelos.
ps. have tested HTML and plain text, same results

anyone? please help

You're doing the link wrong. Check this page...
http://www.johnmolyneux.co.uk/temp/emailtest.html
Do a "view source" to see the tag.

hi john,
Thank you for your reply. I tried every format, but here is your link.
from the opera browser it works flawless, but when i paste your link in a email i get this
img526.imageshack.us/img526/396/screen001d.png
img268.imageshack.us/img268/6371/screen002wg.png
it asks me to check the emailadres en when i choose the first option to send a email with outlook it paste the whole link there.
maybe you know what's the problem.
eelos.

It's not actually a problem - it's just that it's a clickable link. Copy and paste on a PC would do exactly the same thing.
What are you trying to do exactly?

hi,
No, on the pc it will open up a new email with the adress and subject.
I get work mails on my HTC HD2 with two email links in it, to approv the order or to reject the order.
All my employees get them and it will open a new email with all the parameters and you only have to press send and are sales software (server) gets the message and process its.
It works on the iphone, older HTC models etc.
But the HTC HD2 thinks the whole link is the adress, like in the pictures (sorry no direct links, still a new member.....)
hope you can help.

Okay, so you're saying it works with a mailto: link in web pages, but not ones that are in emails?
If that's the case, then I don't see a way round it. It's just the way pocket outlook behaves.

yes, i think it's the UI (manilla), that opens a screen to check the mailadres before it will go to outlook. If i open it from opera, it will go directly to outlook.
I only think it's strange that i'm the only one stumbling on to this problem.
(google won't give me any other hit)
Will try to contact HTC about this. Thank you John for your time.
greetings,
eelos.
