Hello everyone - working with a laptop from a 3rd party source running windows 10. Looking
for the best way to not have my personal information or location shared to anyone. Restore and
recovery was done on laptop where only pre-installed Windows programs was re-installed wondering
how to;
1) Prevent Microsoft accounts from seeing this device
2) Prevent any pre-installed tracking apps that could've been installed without my knowledge
from seeing this device.
3) Prevent serial number on motherboard shown in Bios and windows serial number from being
tracked and or seen.
Any help with these testing questions will be greatly appreciated.

Hi all,
Have recently updated to windows vista and upgraded the windows mobile device center to the latest version.
but somehow when i sync, it changes my device id to WINDOWSMOBILE71 which is screwing some programs which I have that rely on device id for registration

I have the same problem, still looking for a solution.
I use WM6 on Trinity.
no help from anybody...
i'm using wm5 on vista home premium.
I am also having the same issue. I sync between two pc's - one is Vista (home) and one is XP (work) - I have to change the device's name before I sync at work if I sync at home because WMDC changes it every time. It is very frustrating. Not to mention the 3rd party apps that have it registered with the other name. I hope someone figures out how to fix this soon. If I do find a solution, I'll post it.
Thanks
i've just gotten used to changing device id everytime i synch with vista. didn't find a solution & M$ forums offer no answer as well!!
device id is also changing...not solutions yet?
I'm on WM5 and Vista Premium. I have also encountered this issue and I can't seem to find any solutions online.
I have a 3rd party program that relies on the device id to be able to sync between a desktop version and a handheld version that is useless until I find a solution.
Manually changing the device id after the fact that doesn't do anything for this specific program because it doesn't have an option to switch users. The user that gets set up is the bogus "WINDOWSMOBILEXX" one.
I could really use a little help from the techie people on this one.
Vista seems to have an issue with the underscore character "_" in the device ID name. Rename the device ID and remove the "_" which solves the issue.
It's not really a dev question though technically I guess it's a minor hack.
I think it's appropriate as if anyone has done any dev with Active Sync they will probably know the answer.
I recently installed some 3rd party software basically a database and was supposed to synchronise with a database on my PC.
It didn't work, so I've uninstalled it.
The thing is, the conduit still appears in the list of settings for ActiveSync (on the pocket PC).
Does anyone know where this list is populated from?
I'm just trying to tidy up after a bad install/remove.
Many thanks,
CA.
Hello (please excuse my English),
I am a vb.net developer with an android phone. I like to write a windows application that will manage the phone's contacts with no sync (the application will read and write the contacts directly on the phone via usb).
I like to make this because I really need a convenient way to manage my >480 contacts with groups, links between them, photos etc.
But I don't know what is the best method to connect to the phone. I have download various open-source projects that use abd.exe but I can not figure it out there is not documentation about this.
Anyway are there any suggestions on this or maybe any how to?
Thank You
No help from me, but lots of encouragement though ... I hate my messy contact list, especially because of multiple gmail accounts... Searched like hell, spend quite some time on failing apps... So good luck with programming!
Thank you for your encouragement. I finally ended that the best solution is to write an android client application that will offer contact records to the pc application. I installed all the android development tools and I am ready to go. This is gona take some time because it will be my first android application so stay tuned...
Ok I have done some progress on the device side, but I really need some help. These are my questions:
1. In the Android Emulator there is no contacts groups. Any idea why or how can I add them?
2. I need some android code guidelines on how to communicate via wi-fi and usb. I am trying to implement some kind of tcp/ip protocol for communicate with the pc application and I need this to be available with the usb cable also (if that is possible)
Thank you all...
MyPhoneExplorer you will love it
I love it allready I am using MyPhoneExplorer since my first SE phone. But it does not supports contacts groups which is very critical for me. This was one of the reasons that I decided to create my own contact manager for android...
Ok, some status update:
I finished my research about tcp connectivity on android and I downloaded all the neading sources and documentation. So I am ready to go with the device side development.
But I really need the contacts groups on the emulator. I 'm stuck here!!!
Come on guys don't leave me alone...
Thank you all
Trying to solve it myself...
First I thought that Contacts application in my phone (Samsung Galaxy 3) was a samsung application, so I downloaded the phones source-code but no Contacts application in there.
Now I found in source.android.com the contacts application for eclair and I downloaded it. It seems (from the source code) that it is the same application which is in my device's firmware.
I create a project in eclipse from this source and right now I am downloading Google APIs to make it run on the emulator. If it runs on the emulator I will start development for the device...

omg i realy thought, it was posible, whit MyPhoneExplorer, my mistake.
great to hear about your little progress
what's up Chris ?
Some news ?
Status Update:
I finaly managed to get contacts groups in the emulator (via 3rd party app) but I still can not export contacts with group information from my device. Anyway this is not very important.
The important thing is that I started developing in android and the results are pretty well.
Right now the device application which I call "MyUnit Android Server" is a multi threaded tcp socket application that communicates with the pc via the usb cable.
I have managed to get through the basic problems with tcp, threads and sockets in android (and java) and it works very stable.
So now it is time to implement some kind of a protocoll for the communication between the device and the computer (any ideas about that are welcome). I have allready implement two functions. One retrieves the group count and the other the groups list. I think that this is very huge progress because this is my first app in java (and android of course).
Maybe in some days (about 10 - 15 because my son's birthday 4yo are in monday so the whole weekend goes to him ) I will be ready to release an alpha test version...
Thats great news, congrat whit your son, I know whats that like.
I would love to beta test, and help out
Looking for a bit of advice on databases integrated into an app, I have looked around and nothing seemed to answer my question. Will try make the problem clear and I hope someone can help me out.
I want to have a master database that is going to have a full list of information. In the app, the user will be able to choose from this list those which apply to them, leaving a smaller list. If the main database would be stored remotely I would think the user list would be stored locally to make any action on it quicker and so the app wont rely on an internet connection.
I am having trouble choosing what direction to go with the database and which will work best with Android. Also, from my research so far, I am on the fence as to whether the master database will be remotely or locally on the device. I would rather it be remotely so to minimize memory usage and have the means to set up a server system or other method to host the file. Seeing as the user list will be stored on their own device there is no need to store anything else apart from the master list and it being on a server will make updating it easier.
If anyone has any thoughts on what I am looking for or knows a best-of situation I would greatly appreciate it.
Hey guys
I'm an entrepreneur from Brisbane, Australia. I'm looking into introducing a new product and am wondering if you guys would be able to help me clarify a few questions. I have to add I have no idea what so ever about programming languages or whats possible or not. I just going to post my vision of the application I will need and hope some of you guys can tell me what of that will be possible, what not and how much effort / money it would take to realise.
Firstly of all and most importantly I need the the Phone application to work with several other systems which would be at the moment : - Iphone, Windows Mobile, Blackberry Android, a Website interface, Windows Vista / 7 and Mac OS. I need this to work in two ways. One for the user to sync their data on different apps and secondly for the admin to receive and send data from the main system (that would be working on Windows or Mac)
On first interface the user would have to log in with a username and password, high security would be welcome, after the log in the general interface should be offering the user a booking request form with the ability to use a saved lists of items which have been previously use / prepared but also a interface for add one or editing
It also should offer a open bookings lists and the ability to edit this lists. This should also be able to be synced to the other systems. A third interface showing a history and updates should be also available.
If possible it should offer different accounts and groups where admins can edit the bookings of other users. If this is possible it also should offer a control for the admins which shows bookings and history of other group users.
I would like this obviously to be a professional looking app which offers a good service and is secure and bug free. If anyone has an idea if this is realisable or what parts of it would be difficult or have to be changed please do me the favour and comment.
Thank you for your help in advance.
