    - Unable to Copy From PC to PDA This should be simple to solve but I can't find the answer elsewhere: I have an HP PDA, my friend has the same or almost the same PDA, running the same OS. We both have the same version of Active Sync. We're both running XP on our desktop. I can copy files to my PDA. He can't. For him: Using edit/copy on the PC doesn't enable paste on the PDA. Dragging from a PC window to an Active Sync window shows the international no symbol meaning "you can't drop that here." I can edit/copy and edit/paste without problem. I can drag and drop. What gives? TIA, -Scott Tag: BirdieSync: Sunbird to Pocket PC Tag: 489724

    - Manage Folders option is disabled I am trying to configure syncing of email in folders other than the Inbox. When I am in the Messaging application, and click Menu - Tools, the Manage Folders icon is disabled. How can I enable the option? Thanks for your help.

    - Alarms without sound needed on PDA! On my desktop I have set a lot of alarms that go off silently, i.e. I get an alert popup, but there is no sound being played. In Outlook 2002/XP one can achieve this by setting a reminder but unchecking the "play this sound" checkbox. I am using such alarms a lot to remind myself of birthdays (the corresponding agenda entries are created automatically by Outlook), anniversaries and other events that should not go forgotten. When I sync such agenda entries to my PDA, however, these alerts will invariably go off with a sound which is especially nasty when they go off at midnight (at which time we usually are already asleep)and I thus fear that my wife will sooner or later smash my PDA against the next wall, if these alerts keep going off during the night. :-( Is there a possibility in to define "silent" alerts on a WM6 device? By "silent" I mean alerts that produce a popup and/or a reminder but without sound? Ideally this options should be synched with the calendar item, so that one wouldn't have to think about it again after synchronization! Or can one define a general "silence period" during which there will be no alerts (or rather: alerts will go off either before or after that period)? Is there maybe a 3rd party tool, that provides such functionality? Michael Tag: BirdieSync: Sunbird to Pocket PC Tag: 489715

    - PDF reader? I've eventually managed to get Adobe Reader for Pocket PC 2.0 re-installed, after it somehow became 'inactive'. But it was an erratic and time consuming exercise. For most of the time it was shown as installed, even directly after using the Remove facility. And at one point it insisted there was insufficient space on my SD card, despite there being around 1.8 B free. Etc, etc. Anyway, although it's working, ideally I'd like to get rid of it forever. Can anyone recommend a reliable alternative PDF reader please, preferably free? -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK Tag: BirdieSync: Sunbird to Pocket PC Tag: 489709

    - HX2795 Screen Calibration I've just about had it! My four month old HP is losing the stylus calibration of the screen. I did a clear reset (lost all programs and settings) when it first happened last week, and did a recalibration (ie: touch X's etc). Now it's off again! The battery shows 80% power, so all should be OK. Can anyone out there offer a solution? If not, I'll no longer sink good money into a Palm or HP and will carry a small notebook. Too bad. This is progress? Tag: BirdieSync: Sunbird to Pocket PC Tag: 489679

    - Wheat Bran Wheat Bran is the portion of the grain immediately under the husk of the wheat kernel; it covers the entire kernel, often used for animal feed. It also makes a nutritious addition to baked goods, because it is a good source of dietary fiber ,dietary minerals and is high in B vitamins, protein and iron, Wheat Bran is often used to enrich breads (notably muffins) and breakfast cereals, especially for the benefit of those wishing to increase their intake of dietary fiber. Bran may also be used for pickling, as in the tsukemono of Japan, Wheat bran is extensively used as feed for farm animals. Bran is used as food for humans (in cereals or mixed with flour in bread) to add roughage (i.e., cellulosehtt) to the diet. It is also used in dyeing and calico printing, I hope Pakistan is cheapest source for Wheat Bran for supply to south east Asian countries, For more details please visit http://www.mehranbiz.com Tag: BirdieSync: Sunbird to Pocket PC Tag: 489676

    - Cingular internet to text options going, gone? fwiw, another one of those "can't quite get there from here" scenarios; Cingular had two internet to text message domains which allowed email to be sent from any email client to a cingular cell phone; <cellnumber>@CingularME.com and <cellnumber>@mobile.mycingular.com The acquisition by at&t added a third; <cellnumber>@txt.att.net While all of the above work (at the moment) for someone to send text _to_ your phone, their digital coded "reply" addresses are confusing, broken or severely delayed, plus the two cingular addresses have changed behavior since I started using them. The @CingularME.com address includes a binary "reply to" number which is accepted without argument by the system if you send a reply... however, it appears to "black hole" the relies... sent a couple of test replies to messages from this address earlier this morning and they have yet to arrive. The "36245" sender address coming with mail sent via the last two addresses above is at&t's 5 digit code for "Mail" ("6245" is "Mail" on the number pad) ...if you simply send a reply to that number, it will fail. To use "36245" return address, you must manually put the "to" email address(es) in the reply message's subject line but that's not clear to the user in the original message or on AT&T's web site. Now for the final kicker... if the received message is from someone who used the @txt.att.net address, the sender's email address is not included in the text message. so, for the moment, your internet text mail correspondents need to use the @CingularME.com address as that includes the email address ...unless you know their email address by heart. Hope this helps someone else. Beverly Howard [MS MVP-Mobile Devices] Tag: BirdieSync: Sunbird to Pocket PC Tag: 489658

    - 4150 ROM Udpate Failed Hello, I have the exact problem in this discussion: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.pocketpc/browse_thread/thread/6dd012985ff6fcfd/a948f48c65319cb6?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=4150+ROM#a948f48c65319cb6 His computer restarted (like mine) during ROM update.. not my iPAQ will not boot, stuck with the screen 1.05H 1.02 and HP logo. I've read lots of people, including the thread I linked, were able to fix this by flashing the ROM from the SD card, using mtty. When I launch mtty, I do not get the option to connect to the device no matter what I do.. Here are some great instructions for the process; http://mobilitytoday.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7567 but I still can not get mtty to connect to the busted ipaq. Am I missing something?

    - PPC 2003 (Ipaq 2215) compatible wifi card list? My wife has decided that she wants a wi-fi card for her ipaq 2215. Are there any reviews of all the SD and CF cards that talks about compatibility and overall performance of different PPC wi-fi cards? My other question is where to get one- I looked on NewEgg, but the only SD or CF card I could find (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833360015) is out of stock (and has been for a while). Can anyone suggest other sources of relatively inexpensive SD or CF wifi cards that would be compatible with a 2003 device? The ones on Ebay seem to be priced about the same as the brand new newegg card. Embedded extra memory isn't critical, as we use both CF and SD memory, so she'll still have plenty of resources on the PPC. Plus, she can always swap out the wifi card if she needs something from her sd memory card(s). We do have an encrypted DSL wireless router at home, so we need something that will support basic encryption (WEP? I don't recall offhand which type it is we have) as well as open connections when she is in coffee shops, etc. Thanks for any information, Keith Tag: BirdieSync: Sunbird to Pocket PC Tag: 489652

    - Delete Task categories? I've had PocketBreeze installed on my iPAQ 2210 for several years. I thought I'd just tidy up some of its settings, starting with deleting a few unwanted task categories. But darned if can find out how to do it. PB uses the 'default' Tasks program built-in to WM2003. But neither in the settings for that nor in the settings for PB itself can I see how to delete a category.

    - Alarm Notification Hi, Not for the first time, my pocket pc (Mio 550, WM5) is having a problem with the alarm notification. The alarm works at the right time but the "notification" soft key does not show and I cannot switch the alarm off or snooze. The LED starts flashing and never stops (until I hook it up to the comouter for synchronisation). Soft reset does not work. When I do connect for synchronization, the "notification" soft key does come up for a second. Pressing it does not seem to help. This did not happen right after installing some new piece of software. Other than a hard reset :( is there anything that someone can think of to help? My calendar reminders have also stopped working. Thanks. Ori Tag: BirdieSync: Sunbird to Pocket PC Tag: 489597

    - Any hope for an old Pocket PC? Hi guys, I have a Cassiopeia E-125 from when they first came out. I haven't been able to do much with it because the connector on the cradle broke. It was fairly old by the time this happened, so I didn't bother to see about a new cradle. Before I go about looking for a new PDA, I was wondering if it was possible to still get any life out of the old one. Is there any other way to connect it to the PC? My only option is to transfer data is to use the dial up modem to paste text to Gmail. Thanks, Christine Tag: BirdieSync: Sunbird to Pocket PC Tag: 489591

    - Getting to voicemail on Tilt To me a touch-screen is about having the ability to get right to the information that I see on the screen. That's the minimum a touch-screen device has to offer. Of course, it is possible to get a lot more creative with touch-screen interface as demonstrated by various iPhone apps. I am not sure why I am not able to tap open the voice mail on my AT&T Tilt. Every other item on the top row is interactive. Nothing happens when I tap on the voice mail icon. -Ashwath Akirekadu Tag: BirdieSync: Sunbird to Pocket PC Tag: 489586

    - Microsoft blesses Adobe Flash Lite with inclusion into OEM product. http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080317-microsoft-eyes-iphone-with-adobe-flash-smartphone-deal.html "Adobe today announced that Microsoft has licensed Flash Lite and Reader LE for the Windows Mobile OS. Microsoft will make these products available to all Windows Mobile OEMs around the world, firing a shot across the bow of the S.S. iPhone. " Now, does this confuse anyone when I mention Microsoft's own up and coming rich media internet application, Silverlight? Especially when Nokia just agreed to support Silverlight. Just how much of a perceived threat is the iPhone, when they are joining ranks and throwing everything at it? With that aside, this could bode well for Pocket PCs, erm, Window Mobile devices. Not to mention having access to a lot of developer applications, which up to now has held back since the pentration rate of flash lite on winmo was less than ideal. But knowing that it would be in place and supported - sweet. But I would be wrong to not point out that it also moves PPCs closer to the smartphone group.. a pretty sandbox for your penance... It all depends on if the PPC specific aspects of the applications (touch screen, etc.) continue to be supported. Tag: BirdieSync: Sunbird to Pocket PC Tag: 489548

    - Where is the End key in Windows Mobile? I am so enraged at the number of bugs and un-features in Win Mobile that I'm numbering 'em. Complaint no. 3: Where is the End key on the keyboard? For example, how do you add words onto the end of a sentence residing in a cell in Mobile Excel? When you tap on a cell thereby bringing up its contents at top, the cursor is at the BEGINNING of the cell's string. How do you get to the end of the string? (It took me several months to realize that I can sequentially tap Ctrl then Right to jump forward word-by-word. But that's still tedious. And as usual, Microflot makes it worse by, once you reach the end of the visible portion of the string, not scrolling the off-the-screen portion to which you are next scrolling into view until AFTER you've scrolled. Preventing you from seeing what the hell you're scrolling to.) Anyone? Thanks. *** Tag: BirdieSync: Sunbird to Pocket PC Tag: 489547

    - Where is the symbol for "1/2" on the keyboard? I have so many complaints about Win Mobile that I've started numbering them (even tho' I've submitted many complaints into this group already). Complaint no. 2: On the WM keyboard, where are the common symbols, e.g. for "1/2" (one- half)? This complaint is ironic, because in point of fact Win Mobile's symbol insertion is SUPERB and MUCH BETTER than desktop Windows. On the desktop, if you're using Word, you have to launch Word's own character dialog, select your character, then exit. With something like Excel, it's absolutely pathetic. You must launch the Start Menu. You must hunt under Accessories, or Ladies' Apparel, or some damned thing, to launch Windows' main character map. You must SELECT a character. You must COPY the character. You must EXIT the dialog. You must RECLAIM focus over your app. You must INSERT the character, etc. But Win Mobile's keyboard has its superb accented-character shift that immediately gives you all the diacritics. Only thing is, I don't see such common symbols like "1/2" (0189 in desktop Windows). Anyone? *** Tag: BirdieSync: Sunbird to Pocket PC Tag: 489545

    - The D-word Durability. Ah, the D-word. The word reviewers never get to. In 9 years, I've owned 6 Pocket PCs: one Compaq Aero 1550, one HP568, three HP1945's, and a Dell X51. I use them a lot, for all sorts of things, in a tougher-than-average environment. I suspect I'm the guy they worry about when they choose the warranty length. The 1945's durability sucked. The first one's screen broke, in normal use that the similarly sized 1550 had no problem with over the preceding years. Based on my experience & the volume of complaints I saw online, I still figure HTC, HP, or a vendor managed to overstrain the panels during manufacture or assembly. It was still under warranty, though I had to browbeat HP customer service. The replacement 1945 fricasseed itself one day. It was out of warranty by then. The third one lasted longer, and still works, but the digitizer is now too spiky for note taking. It would make a nice MP3 player, if I needed one. The 568 fried itself, too, just outside of warranty. HP tried to repair it, but no dice. The repair lasted a month or so. Forget about repairing PDA's unless you can do it yourself with duct tape. The Aero 1550 was the jewel. It did its job perfectly, with no extra features or bugs. If technology hadn't advanced so quickly, I'd still be using it. It lasted me through 3 years of hard service. After I upgraded to the 568, I gave the Aero to my nephew who fiddled with it for years afterward. My current X51 is going strong except for the ever-present HTC digitizer spiking that slows note taking. When it wears out, I'd buy another, but they don't make them anymore. Today, I'd have to pick between an Asus A626 and an HP210. Or maybe get a Nokia 810 and give up on Pocket PC. How bad can web-based functionality be? I'm tempted to just buy the dumbest possible phone with an organizer on it that can sync to a PC, an MP3 player, and a Sony Reader. I just have to find a phone with an organizer, but no camera. Lessons Learned About Durability 1) Screen protectors are good things. While a perfect individual can keep a screen and stylus perfectly clean & never scratch a screen, I can't. 2) HTC digitizers suck after a while. They begin to spike. Lekrn to edit carefully befere publishing. 3) Rhinoskin aluminum cases are good things, especially if you work in a factory. Or if you drop things occasionally. Watch out for loose hinge pins, though. Don't sit down with one in your pocket. 4) Cheesy plastic d-pads wear out. Not the contacts, the touch points. The resulting notchy d-pads hurt your fingers. 5) Scroll-wheels wear out as well, although they're nice to have while they last. In their case, it's the contacts, not the wheel. 6a) Did I mention HTC oigitizers suck? Well, OK. 6b) The HP1945's, even in a Rhinoskin case, were just a little too small and fragile to be practical. That's why I have no interest in the HP110. Clever little things, though. 7) If your PDA starts to feel hot, back it up immediately to a flash card, and don't put it back in your pocket.

    - pda appointment yields meeting request with wrong date Hi, I create an apointment with attendees on a pda. Then during activesync, the meeting requests that are sent have a wrong date : instead of having the appointment's date, they have today's date with the hour being rounded to the closest half hour. However, in the calendar, the appointment has the correct time and date. I've seen afew testimonies of people witnessing the same behavior, but nothing close to a hint about where to find the beginning of a solution. I will add that this problem seems to happen randomly, i.e. it does happen "sometimes" with the same pda and computer, while with other devices it will always happen and with some other it will never happen... By other, I mean same brand, model, same windows mobile edition, same outlook edition, and really similar configuration on laptop. Thank you for your ideas Tag: BirdieSync: Sunbird to Pocket PC Tag: 489528

    - 2577 autorun doesn't work Hi all, I've seen this problem alluded to elsewhere but I'm still confused. I'm trying to install tomtom on an IPAQ3850. Pocket PC 3 ARM SA1110 processor. I have an SD card with the tomtom software, with 2577 folder which holds autorun.exe, autorun.exe-run, ttn2003.cab and ttn.cab files. When I insert the SD card I believe it should execute the autorun file but nothing happens. I have tried executing the ttn2003 cab file, which extracts, seems to install but fails when I try to run via the tomtom icon. Can someone explain the 2577 folder in simple terms? ISTR the autorun file is taken out of the 2577 folder and copied into the windows folder? I believe autorun can be disabled in the registry. How do I turn it on? I know my way round a real PC's registry but I didn't even know PDAs had registries :-( Should I be able to execute the autorun.exe in the 2577 folder and it will install in the same way a CD works on a grown-up PC? -- blackbat /\x/\ Tag: BirdieSync: Sunbird to Pocket PC Tag: 489504

Above all, the camera must be dependable -- able to come through in shooting situations that are far less than ideal... even in harsh environmental and handling conditions. The camera must be responsive -- reacting instantly to the photographer's input... able to capture, within a heartbeat, the image in the mind's eye. It must provide a sophisticated feature set that makes it versatile and adaptable and, yet, does not compromise operability. And, of course, it must deliver image quality beyond reproach -- which, in the digital era, means not only virtually noise-free detail, richness of color, and depth of tone, but also sufficient data density to satisfy the widest range of output applications. Today, there is one digital single-lens-reflex (DSLR) camera that meets these criteria as no other: the Canon EOS-1D Mark III. Redesigned and re-engineered from the ground up, Canon's newest flagship EOS is destined to become the next "must have" DSLR for professionals. EOS 1D Mark III Highlights New 10.1-megapixel CMOS sensor Excellence in digital photography starts at the imaging sensor. Canon's uniquely advanced in-house sensor design and manufacturing capabilities are a major reason why EOS Digital SLR cameras consistently deliver state-of-the-art imaging performance. The EOS-1D Mark III features a newly developed 10.1 megapixel Canon CMOS sensor. It fulfills the primary functions of an imaging sensor -- sensitive, accurate, extremely low noise capture of image data -- with unprecedented competence. Its APS-H size sensor results in a 1.3 lens conversion factor, a format that EOS-1D series photographers are familiar with. Moreover, it incorporates Canon's latest CMOS engineering advances that significantly reduce digital noise -- especially in shadow areas -- and expand the useful ISO range. Exceptionally wide ISO range Combining the superb image capture capabilities of the new sensor with advanced Dual DIGIC III Image Processors, the EOS-1D Mark III offers the widest ISO range of any digital SLR in the world (as of February 2007). The standard range of 100 - 3200 can be extended to a remarkable 50 - 6400.* More importantly, the low-noise performance at high ISO settings makes the entire range usable in real-world shooting situations. * Standard output sensitivity. Recommended exposure index. 14-bit A/D converters Whereas earlier EOS digital cameras used 12-bit A/D (Analog-to-Digital) converters, the EOS-1D Mark III employs new 14- bit converters to process the output of the imaging sensor. This ensures smoother tonal transitions and more natural gradations. RAW images are recorded at 14 bits so that the full range of tones captured by the sensor are available in 16-bit TIFF images.

    - When did _that_ appear? I've learned that one of the impacts of ms' closed mouth approach to the winmobile os on early adopters is the often missed improvement and changes to the os or default applications. So, a hug DOH! and tip of the hat for one change that I am very sorry I missed until now. I use "handwriting" in notes frequently... it's recognition of my chicken scratches has been far less than perfect, but sill a valuable input tool for my uses. Yesterday, I _finally_ noticed <tap/hold> "alternates" after any recognize.
