    - Windows Mobile 6 and certificate installation I set up an OWA installation on Exchange 2007. Now I'm trying to use ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center on my WM6 TyTn II. The https certificate is self-signed and when I try to sync the device it fails with "The security certificate on the server is not valid. Contact your Exchange server administrator or ISP to instal a valid certificate on the server". It is the correct behavior but on a desktop-pc client I can install self-signed certificate and no longer get warnings. How can I do to install cert on my device and to get sync working? Best regards. Tag: XDA Orbit screen sensitivity Tag: 489786

    - 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? --Dan Tag: XDA Orbit screen sensitivity Tag: 489785

    - 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.

    - 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, Tom Tag: XDA Orbit screen sensitivity Tag: 489775

    - 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?

    - 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. Bill Tag: XDA Orbit screen sensitivity Tag: 489768

    - 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: XDA Orbit screen sensitivity Tag: 489765

    - 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. - Byron Followell Tag: XDA Orbit screen sensitivity Tag: 489737

    - 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..

    - 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: XDA Orbit screen sensitivity Tag: 489734

    - 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: XDA Orbit screen sensitivity Tag: 489724

    - 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: XDA Orbit screen sensitivity 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: XDA Orbit screen sensitivity Tag: 489709

    - 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: XDA Orbit screen sensitivity 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: XDA Orbit screen sensitivity 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.

    - 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: XDA Orbit screen sensitivity Tag: 489652

    - passwords safe My pocketpc uses WM6. I have been reading a lot of contradictory info on the safety of sending username/password over wireless internet connections - particularly public networks and am uncertain who to believe. Can I safely send personal info from my phone to my home wireless network? Can I safely send personal info from my phone over a public network? Do I need a pocketpc antivirus/firewall app like Norton's? Would it help? Tag: XDA Orbit screen sensitivity Tag: 489606

    - 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. BTW, I couldn't find any Help file for PB either. Not included in the list under Today > Help. -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK Tag: XDA Orbit screen sensitivity Tag: 489600

    - Switching on overnight, discharging battery My iPAQ 2210 is for some reason switching itself on overnight. The first time I discovered this I wrote it off as a minor issue. But it happened again last night when I'd forgotten to replace it in its cradle. This morning it wouldn't switch on until I reset it, and then gave me the warning that battery was too low. I'd appreciate some help in how to identify the reason for its switching on please. -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK Tag: XDA Orbit screen sensitivity Tag: 489598

    - 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: XDA Orbit screen sensitivity 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: XDA Orbit screen sensitivity 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: XDA Orbit screen sensitivity Tag: 489586

    - Plugin for Pocket Outlook ... Hi, I was trying to find a way to write a plugin for Pocket outlook. After going through msdn and googling much, I am not clear that where to start from. There is much-much less information available for Pocket Outlook Plugin as opposed to Outlook plugin. The only thing I found on the web is "Emansio" which calls itself a Pocket Outlook Plugin. For now, I want to know, Where to start with in order to write a Pocket Outlook Plugin? Any reference or techincal sample would be greate. If any one knows, can you please help.

    - Remote desktop Is there a remote desktop feature on any windows mobile devices? Tag: XDA Orbit screen sensitivity Tag: 489554

I've been using an XDA Orbit for about a year now. Recently I've noticed
that the screen is less sensitive to stylus taps. Initially I had used a
screen protector but now the screen won't respond with a protector in
place.
Is this a known phenomenon? And is there a solution?

Run welcome.exe from the windows folder so that it takes you through the
taps in each corner routine again. This may fix your problem for a while.
But basically it sounds like your device hardware is failing.
