An electronic telephone book?
I used to have a Casio Cassiopeia which was used almost exclusively for
addresses and E-mail addresses. I am now looking for something similar
with the principal requirements being that it does NOT have rechargeable
batteries (The Cassiopeia ran on 2 x AAA batteries)and it should be
able to synchronise with a PC. It does not need a huge amount of memory,
4 or 5 MB would be enough and a colour screen is unnecessary.
Does anyone know where something like this can be obtained?

Hi
I am using a smartphone HTC TyTNII with Windows Mobile 6.
Would like to save some webpages that I am browsing on my PC at the
moment, so that I can transfer these webpages to my HTC TyTNII, thus i
can read OFFLINE while I am going out on the road.
How can I do this? Any steps or caution?

HTC Touch Audio Manager
Hello
I have an HTC Touch and when I play my albums, for some reason it seems to
play them in alphabetical order, instead of the original order, to ensure
this, I even copied the tracks, so the filenames would be in the original
order - but for some reason it uses the track name to sort the order of
play - has anyone else noticed this, or do I need to adjust some setting?
Kind regards

GPS crashes device.exe on Sprint Mogul HTC-6800 (and others?)
Hi everyone,
There seems to be a bug in the GPS intermediate driver that causes
device.exe to crash if the mogul goes into sleep mode while an
application has a handle to the GPS device.
I've found a reference to this problem in a couple of other forums:
http://www.sprintmogul.net/Default.aspx?tabid=54&ptid=370&threadid=3301&forumtype=posts
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=21694
This is a major problem for us as we need our app to keep tracking via
GPS even if the device is put into sleep mode.
Does anyone know of any workaround for this or an ETA on when it will be
fixed? Or how to escalate the importance of this issue?
Thanks,
Michael Tag: IMAP Client Tag: 489916
Email Signature programmatically: part 2
Hi all (and Peter specially:) )
I am able to create the signature of a custom account programmatically
using the PR_CE_SIGNATURE and PR_CE_USE_SIGNATURE properties.
So, during the installation of my .cab file in the setup process, I
create the mail account and then I start the signature process. When
ended, I can see the account and the signature properly set but if I
create a new email I cannot see the signature in the mail!!
But if I go in the mail option, I go in the page of the signature and
without changing anything I press Done, after that I can see the
signature in the mail :(
Is there anything that I miss? Is there some sort of flush() or
"StorePersistentlyAndUseIt"...
I add my code...

not connecting
I have recently got a HTC touch phone. I installed active sync on a
computer, and after a few tries, it worked. That was a week back.
Since then, it hasn't sync-ed, and another computer I installed it on
hasn't sync-ed either with the phone. Once every 5 times I try it says
I should install outlook (as i currently use mozilla thunderbird), and
then when I press OK, it still doesnt sync/connect.
Can anyone suggest anything?
All recommendations welcome.. Tag: IMAP Client Tag: 489908

Communicator mobile stopped working and reinstallation doesnt help
Hi,
(also posted in Communicator newsgroup... but I think the problem is
more related to the device/OS than communicator).
Communicator is one of my most critical applications on my Windows
mobile device.
A couple of days ago it stopped working with the following error "One
or more components are missing, please re-install the application"
I have tried reinstalling, uninstalling and reinstalling... but its
still not working.
Is there any way this can be fixed without resetting the device?

HTTP Debugger
Does anyone know of an HTTP Debugger tool for WM5?
During business hours, and occasionally other times, my Pocket MSN will not
connect. I get the message: "The MSN Mobile Hotmail service did not respond
to one of Pocket MSN's requests. Some requests may not have been completed."
When I search the net, I see that thousands of other users are experiencing
this same problem and given a pretty wide variety of paths to chase down as
the source of the problem.
This happens roughly 8 out of 10 times that I try to Send/Receive from
Outlook during business hours. At first I thought T-Mobile's GPRS had
scaling problems and could not handle the traffic. The weird thing is, if I
do the same using my home WiFi network, same problem. This tells me that
MSN has not scaled the Pocket MSN service to meet the needs of the Pocket PC
users. When this is happening, I am getting a very fast connection when
browsing the Internet. I need some better tools to validate the source of
the problem before I can say for sure why this thing is timing out.
As a desktop tool I generally use Fiddler or IEWatch if it is just IE
traffic. Does anyone know of an equivalent for WM5?

"Download the Past:" registry hack??
For my WM6-PRO phone, I'm hoping there's a registry hack that will let me
save the last 3 months of sync'd messages.
When I use the menus: Email Synch Options -> Download the Past... it shows
either 1 month or All... but nothing in between! I need 3 months for a trip
I'm about to take.
I browsed the registry and Googled this a lot, but found very little.
Anyone looked into this before?
Thanks! Tag: IMAP Client Tag: 489882
If I get memory card, will email be stored on it?
I'm becoming increasingly convinced that the reason why my
WM6 freaks out all the time is that the large amount of email
I receive is filling its internal memory. I don't have a
storage card.
I see an option in the mail client's configuration to store
attachments on the storage card, but attachments aren't
really the problem -- I don't download most of them -- the
problem is the actual email.
If I install a storage card, will email be stored on it by
default, and if not, is there a way I can make the email be
stored on it rather than in internal memory?

Is it possible to display Asian text on English version of Windows
I don't have a Pocket PC, I'm just a developer. I'd like to start
writing applications for Windows Mobile, so I installed an emulator.
It's an English version of Windows Mobile 5, but it cannot display
Japanese or Korean texts. I've searched this news group, and found
that someone said copying those fonts to Windows\Fonts would help, but
it didn't work. I copied the Korean font to the Windows\Fonts folder
of the Windows Mobile emulator, but still all Korean text are
displayed as boxes.
So, English version of Windows Mobile can't display Asian text? I've
looked at the Regional settings but there's no such thing like install
files for East Asian languages.
Only Korean version of Windows Mobile can display Korean texts?

WM6 and OL Questions
I am not sure if these are PPC or Outlook questions. On my VZW XV6800
(WinMobile 6 and Office Mobile) I have two problems with my Outlook Sent
Files folder:
1. E-mails I send from the device do not show up in the Sent
Files --until the following day. I often find it necessary when away from
my office/desktop to either resend mail or to forward to a 3d person a copy
of the e-mail I sent to somebody else. Actually, this may also be a problem
of Intellisync, the software (now owned by Nokia) that is used for wireless
sync. I could copy myself on all my outgoing e-mail and clutter up my inbox
but that's not a very good solution.
2. E-mail that finally shows up in the Sent Files folder cannot be
sorted by addressee. The default is sorting by sender. I understand that
Microsoft set it up that way, but unless you are a real cynic it's hard to
believe that any software designer or programmer at Microsoft thought
telling me that I am the sender of the e-mail I send from my cell phone
would be useful information. Odds are, if I am looking at the Sent files I
am interested in a particular message I sent to a particular person.
Any insights would be appreciated. Tag: IMAP Client Tag: 489818
Reset button Resets Windows Mobile 6 to Factory Defaults???
Today my HP Ipaq 112 PDA (windows mobile 6) locked up while running a
program. I had to press in the reset button on the side of the unit.
When it rebooted it wasn't to the normal Windows Mob splash screen but
rather to one where I had to reinitialise the screen sensitivity etc. When
it fired up I found that all settings had to be redone. Stuff like
regional settings, time, date, etc. All installed programs would run but
each time they were run for the first time a message about trusting
certificates popped up and did I want to continue.
But I've found that a couple won't run. AvantGo being one.
I tried to uninstall it but it's not listed in the program list. It is
looking at storage memory on the PDA not the SD card that I have all
applications stored or installed on.
If I delete the AvantGo files directly from the SD card will WM6 pick this
up and delete the icon/shortcuts for it or will I have to somehow manually
remove them? If so how is this done.
Or if I simply reinstalled it back over the existing installation, would
that do?
Finally, in order to stop this happening again is there a proper way to
restart Windows Mobile 6 without having to reset the settings, etc.?

Change Exchange user or Exchange server entirely on WM device?
Hi - when I've had a user inherit a prior user's WM device, or have changed
a company over to a new server, I've never been able to figure out how to
wipe out the previous Exchange ActiveSync settings on the handheld.
No, I'm not talking about remote wipe....
I've always ended up doing a hard reset on the device, but that seems
draconian and possibly unnecessary. Is there a simple way (on the handheld
itself) to entirely wipe out the Activesync server settings, to get it back
to the vanilla default? I mean, the screen where I can launch the wizard and
add an Exchange server. I feel like I must be missing something obvious. It
wouldn't be the first time.
Any help appreciated....thanks. Tag: IMAP Client Tag: 489794

self-signed certificate and no longer get warnings.

BlackJack II - Auto Forwarding
All,
I recently acquired a BlackJack II (replacement for my Treo 700p).
Anyhow, on my Treo I used an application called "CradleCare" to
forward calls to my home phone whenever the phone was plugged in to
the charger. I _love_ this functionality.
I have been searching for something similar for a non-touchscreen WM6
device. Any ideas?
I've checked out PhoneAlarm from pocketmax.net, however the "SP"
version for non-touchscreen devices curiously does not seem to support
call forwarding!
Does anyone know of an app that will work for this?

iPAQ 210/iPAQ 211 after 1 week of use
Note: the box says "HP iPAQ 210" but under the battery of the device it says
"211".
The positive features I've found with the iPAQ 211 are:
1. The screen resolution is great and once you view an Internet page in
"High Resolution" you will probably be hooked on that feature just like I
am. But sadly enough, the pages would probably look ever better with WM6.1
on the 211.
2. It has a fairly fast processor and I haven't found anything that I use
that can slow it down yet.
3. The "iPAQ File Store" maintains it's memory even after a "Clear memory."
This makes it a lot easier to reinstall your programs when you start over
again which you will probably do a lot when you are testing things out.
4. If you have a cell phone with WM5 it will use that for it's Internet
Connection via DUN and you will not need to use the "Bluetooth Phone
Manager" ever or the "Bluetooth Manager" a second time after it has been
setup once. As neat as that is, that feature is nothing new and it is just
the way BT DUN worked before Microsoft started to phase it out.
Now for the "Quirks" I've found in one week:
Quirk #1
It only has one port that can be used for a BT GPS and you can't use the
setting under "External GPS" to share that port either. If you want to use
a GPS program for verbal directions and one GPS program for a "Satellite
view" at the same time don't plan on it. It would have been neat if HP
could have just added a GPS to the 211 themselves since you will find a lot
of new devices come with GPS built in.
Quirk #2
The Bluetooth manager has a few issues.
1. For some reason, after a "reset" and after a "clear memory" the "iPAQ
Wireless" would not display anything about the Bluetooth. The only option I
would see is the option for "WLAN." I had to recover from that glitch with
a "Clear memory." If this happens again, I might exchange this unit
thinking it is something particular to this unit.
2. I haven't tracked down what is causing this but under "Bluetooth
Settings->Accessibility" it will change from "All devices" to "Paired
devices only" all by itself. Where this is a problem is adding a new
device. But that particular problem is pretty obvious something has changed
when it doesn't ask for a passcode on a new device and the "new device"
fails to work properly.
3. If you scan for new devices, it will not always show everything that
device has to offer.
a. I've found that if a device is "High Quality Audio" and "Hands-free" you
have to run a second scan of BT devices specifically for "Hand-free" to find
the "Hands-free."
b. If a device is a "Network Access Point" and "FTP" you have to run a
second scan of BT devices specifically to "Browse files on a remote device"
to use the FTP service.
4. If you are using a WM6 device for the internet use the built in "Network
Access Point" and stay away from using PDANET. If you use the BT DUN with
PDANET it will work once and never again despite what you try. The only way
I've found to correct that issue is to "Clear memory" and start over. Just
restarting everything or deleting everything and reinstalling items does not
help.
Quirk #3
This is specific to the Slingbox software. The maximum resolution for the
Slingplayer is only 320x240 and ends up looking bad on the iPAQ 211. It
still looks OK but I think the "Slingbox" player looks a lot better on a
device that is only 320x240.
Quirk #4
No way to turn the device completely off despite what the manual on HP.COM
says about holding the power button down:
1. If you hold the power button down it will turn itself back on as soon as
you let up on the power button.
2. If you quickly depress the power button it will simply put it into
"hibernate" mode and come back where it left off when you tap the power
button again..
3. If shut down all the programs, tap the power button and then take the
battery out and put the battery back in it will start all over as if you hit
the reset button on the side.
While I can understand why they want it to be instant on for people that
want it that way. What if someone doesn't use it all the time and wants to
shut it completely off?
----------
I'm sure I will probably find more "Quirks" with this device since I've only
had it a week so far. Tag: IMAP Client Tag: 489777

WM6 Newbie - Need Explanations on the Network management
Hello,
I'm a newbie to WM6. I've purchased a Samsung i780 in Europe (3G and
Wifi).
I would like some explanations to understand how the network
management is working vs. the connections.
For the moment it's a mess (both in my Smartphone and in my head):
- I'm using a 3G data package but must go through a proxy to get it
unlimited
- I'm using my ISP wifi connection (no proxy)
- I'm using my office connection but no luck VPN client is not
compatible with my company VPN server (Cisco)
- I'm using my ActiveSync connection but then it adds my company proxy
to my office network which is used at home to connect to my ISP
wifi ...
Any help will be appreciated,
Thanks,

Full Voice-to-Text
What projects or software is there that does full voice-to-text on a
PocketPC or similar device? I've seen some comments saying that
devices simply don't have the juice to do this -- mostly people
recommend doing the translation off of the PDA. If it exists, though,
I'd like to try it on the pda -- I have seen PocketSphinx (http://
www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/pocketsphinx/).
Anyone know of any others?
Have any experience with this task?
Thanks,

Unit Converter with Currency Exchange and Calipers
Posted since the mobile need for a converter, especially currency, has
been asked for here in the past.
A mobile mvp (Dwayne Lamb) has just released a $20 Unit Converter
application which includes a currency converter with downloadable
currency exchange rates.
<http://bettermeasure.com>
Contains a lot of options, so, navigation may take some time to learn.
From what I have seen so far (less than an hour's use) it will replace
my current unit/currency converter.
Appreciate neat tools? Checkout its screen measuring tool... once
calibrated to your screen, very exact measurements within your ppc's
screen size are a snap.

Remove Windows Live from Windows Mobile 6.0 TMobile Wing
On my T-Mobile Wing PDA Phone, I clicked Start > Programs > Windows Live. I
did not want to install this and selected cancel. However, it installed,
adding lots of icons to my Start menu and a Windows Live email account to
Messaging. I need to remove this but there is no link in the Remove Programs
service to remove it. In Messaging, I can click and hold and get a DELETE
button on every email account, except Windows Live which is grayed out.
T-Mobile customer support was unable to figure out how to uninstall and
suggested I contact Microsoft but I cannot find anything in the support or
knowledge base sections of the Microsoft site to answer this question.
Thanks for your help.

WMDC Problems
Using TyTN II, Vista Home Premium
Background: Tried using WMDC 6.1 months ago and had the same sync issues
that many others experienced. Read that going back to 6.0 solved problems.
Installed 6.0 and everything worked fine until 2 days ago when I discovered
that all calendar information disappeared from PDA. Did a restore on the PDA
from prior day's backup to get calendar data back on PDA.
Later that day, I hooked phone up to laptop to do a sync. Received error
message on the phone that sync failed. When I opened WMDC to check things
out, I discovered that the options for Calendar and Contacts no longer
existed in the menu of items to sync. They just totally disappeared.
I uninstalled WMDC and reinstalled 6.0. I opened WMDC and verified that 6.0
was intalled. Then I hooked up PDA to laptop. Device drivers started
installing. When done, I opened WMDC. Not only were the Contact & Calendar
options still missing, but now my WMDC version is 6.1 and obviously it still
won't sync.
I'm totally at a loss. How do I prevent 6.1 from installing and get the
Contacts & Calendar options back on the sync menu?
Thanks. Tag: IMAP Client Tag: 489765
Missing Ink Notes
When I write a message on my Mobile 6 equipped phone, I can not view it on
the PC - this was not a problem with older version...
Even new notes - anything drawn - will not show up when viewed on the PC - I
just see an empty note...
Help - what gives? Do I have to update to Office 2007 to see ink ??? Tag: IMAP Client Tag: 489760
Sync problem: Windows Mobile 6 <> Intellisync Mobile Suite <> Novell
The equipment:
- HTC Touch running Windows Mobile 6 and Intellisync Mobile Suite
(IMS).
- (Work) PC running Windows XP pro, Novell GroupWise.
The problem:
If I create an appointment on the HTC, let's say at 10.00 > sync via
IMS > the appointment is shown in my (GroupWise) calendar at 09.00 (-
one hour).
If I create an appointment on the computer (using GroupWise) at 10.00
> sync via IMS > the appointment is shown on the HTC calendar at 11.00
(+ one hour).

Friend cannot sync his new AT&T Tilt (8925)
I have a friend that just purchased an AT&T Tilt (8925) PDA with phone. Itâ??s
running Windows Mobile 6 Professional. I have the same unit so he came to me
for answers that, unfortunately, I couldnâ??t answer. So, here I am, trying to
get some answers for him.
OK, his problem is that he cannot sync his unit to his computer. He copied
all of his contacts over from his old simm card but he cannot sync his
computer. He installed all of the software as directed but, by default, all
of his sync options are grayed out and cannot be selected. He does have one
selection made. File syncing is selected but also grayed out so he canâ??t
change anything about it. Also, the files that are synced say theyâ??re
read-only. Heâ??s checked the file properties and they do not appear to be
read-only but if he tries to modify a Mobile Word or Excel file on his
computer and then save it, heâ??s prompted to change the name because the file
is read-only. Weâ??ve checked all the settings we can on his computer and on
his PDA but can find nothing whatsoever that will allow him to sync his PDA.
Has anyone else experienced a problem similar to this? Iâ??d like to be able
to help my friend but I donâ??t know what else to try. Any assistance anyone
might be able to provide would be most appreciated.
He is running Vista Home Premium on his computer and is using the 90-day
trial version of Outlook 2007 that came with his PDA.
That brings up another question. Iâ??ve never owned a Windows Mobile
PDA/Smartphone that didnâ??t come with a full version of Outlook. I hadnâ??t
noticed this when I received my AT&T Tilt because I already have Office 2007
Enterprise installed. What the heck is he supposed to do after 90 days?! It
seems like a lot to sell someone a high dollar PDA with phone and then expect
them to shell out another $90 to purchase a full version of Outlook.
Thanks.

How To Avoid Multiple Instances
Hi
I am writing a windows mobile application using embedded VB.
Can anyone suggest a way to avoid "multiple instances" of the
application.
On reading on web they emphasise the usage of SetForeGroundWindow and
FindWindow API's. But i think if somehow I can manage to get the list
of currently running processes on the device, I should be able to stop
execution of second instance.
in between System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses method is not
available in embedded VB, so any other alternative to resolve this..
Cheers

another battery problem
I have Ipaq 2210 about 4 years old, with 2003 SE. Two old batteries, one
original and one copy, both charge to 100% but work short.
I`ve bought two new, both made in China.
At the first charging they go to 100%, but after every next charging percent
drops with 10%-unit. At last percent is only about 20 and Ipaq gives
warning - low battery.
The wall charger gives 5.0 V as should be , USB charging is not better.
Original HP battery has 1400 mAh, the copies 1600 mAH.
Is 1600 too much for HP charger? or any other explanation. Tag: IMAP Client Tag: 489734
IPAQ 5450 New Battery
I bought a new battery that does not want to charge. I tried it on 3 different
PPC's that properly charge their own batteries. However when I put the new
battery in, it does not charge and just runs the PPC down.
Any ideas on how to charge it?

BirdieSync: Sunbird to Pocket PC
If you're looking for a way to sync your Windows Mobile calendar to Windows
PCs running a smaller/lighter/simpler calendar than Outlook, check out
BirdieSync, which works with Mozilla Sunbird:
http://calendarswamp.blogspot.com/2008/03/birdiesync-works-deleting-outlook-2003.html
Sunbird itself now can publish calendar feeds to Outlook and lots of other
calendars, including Apple iCal, thanks to a new service called Calgoo:

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,
