    - 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.

    - 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: Switching on overnight, discharging battery 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: Switching on overnight, discharging battery 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.

    - 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: Switching on overnight, discharging battery 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: Switching on overnight, discharging battery 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: Switching on overnight, discharging battery 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.

    - 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: Switching on overnight, discharging battery 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.

    - Problem on iPaq 5450 Hi folks, I got this used iPaq 5450 for relatively cheap (about US$ 200). It came with PocketPC 2002, the default OS for this model. Now, I know the 5450 is infamous for its buggyness, but I thought I could alleviate the problem with the updates available from HP, so I decided to shell out those ~ $200 and go for it - mostly because of wi-fi, that my old iPaq 3850 (still alive and kicking with Windows Mobile 2003 that I upgraded it with) lacks. I was also hoping to be able to upgrade it to WM2003, since I play around with .NET CF 2.0 sometimes (that doesn't work on PPC2002), and also because of a few apps I use that doesn't work on PPC2002, and was able to acquire that ROM upgrade. Ok, enough background, here's my problem - I can't update the ROM on this 5450. I've tried the ROM update to version 1.11 (for PPC2002, available here: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=0&prodSeriesId=322914&prodNameId=100786&swEnvOID=231&swLang=8&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=ip-47460-1). Apparently the update application can't put the device into "flash mode". As I've gathered after much digging around in the 'net, when the message "Verifying the information on your iPAQ PocketPC" is shown on the desktop by the update program, the device is supposed to reset to flash mode: a screen with only a single HP logo on it - or so I heard it's supposed to look like. I can get the equivalent of this screen on my older 3850, except it is the Compaq logo with a red background; I don't know how the HP screen for flash mode looks like, but I'm sure from that earlier experience that it should look different from the normal boot screen; and that's the problem: when the device should be going to flash mode, instead it just reboots normally - that is, it shows the normal boot screen and goes to the today screen (also usually the clock is reset to 12:00 and the date to 01/01/1980), while in the desktop the "Verifying information..." message stays up indefinitely. This happens the same when I try the ROM upgrade to WM2003. What I've already tried, based on what I gathered on the net: - Putting the device into flash mode manually, by means of the magic "keys", that is, press the CONTACTS + ITASK + POWER buttons simultaneously and press reset. Also doesn't work, the device just reboots as well. By the way, these same keystrokes work fine (that is, the device is put on flash mode) on my older 3850, and yes, they are supposed to work on the 5450 as well, from what I gathered on the 'net; - Copying the file FUU.exe and FUU.bin to the device, and running the .exe manually: Doesn't work, it just reboots the device as well (when, I guess, that little executable would probably put the device into flash mode); - Uninstalling ActiveSync completely and reinstalling: tried initally the lastest version (4.5), then uninstalled (including removing the dangling ActiveSync install folder thereafter), and tried the older 3.7 version that some people seemed to suggest for compatibility with older devices, but no difference; - Hard-resetting: tried that many times, no difference. By the way, everytime I hard reset this unit, right after the screen blanks out after the procedure is done (CALENDAR + ITASK + RESET for 3 secs), I have to remove the battery and put it back on. If I just reset the device without doing that, the device hangs on the boot screen indefinetely. I don't know this device enough, so I don't know if that's how it's supposed to behave, just thought I should mention that. Well, anyway, I'm already dismissing this as a lost cause, probably some fault in the ROM or bootloader of this unit (though the device seems to work fine otherwise, it can sync with ActiveSync, etc.). But if anyone have any thoughts or experience with this, even for confirming my suspicions, your sharing would be greatly appreciated. Too bad I've already thrown away $200 at this, I wish I hadn't already found a buyer for my older 3850, otherwise I would just sell this 5450 and keep the older... Now I'll have to cope with this subpar unit, or maybe try to sell it and stay empty handed until I can get something worthawhile... And never touch a 54xx again thereafter...

    - shortcuts to enter date and time? I am new to Windows Mobile, used Palm OS for a long time. I liked how I was able to enter the date and time on the Palm using a shortcut gesture and then "dts" (date/time stamp). Is there any way to do this on a Windows Mobile device? I see that I can tap and hold and insert the date, but not the date and time. Is there a utility that allows quick entry of date and time in a user-selected format? It would also be nice to have a utility to define other shortcuts that I could use to enter text from on-screen keyboard or built-in hardware QWERTY keyboard.

There's one thing I cannot find though, it's the MSN Security Update, I can't find it anywhere on the Internet, MSN's pages just redirect to the "new" Windows Mobile pages, where I can't find anything even remotely related to PPC2003. I saw the PPC2002 update while searching, but the PPC2003 one is gone, and I can't sign into MSN :( Does anyone have a copy of the installer or a URL to somewhere that still has it? I'd much appreciate it. Thanks Tag: Switching on overnight, discharging battery Tag: 489473

    - UK Three Mobile Broadband Sim and Enfora GSM0110-01 Hi I have been trying in vain to configure my Dell Axim X5 (WM2003) with the Enfora GSM0110 Compact Flash GSM modem with my sim from Three UK which came supplied with the Three USB Broadband Modem. I can find no reason why this SIM shouldn't be usable with the Enfora but the default WM2003 dial-up wizard only allows input of the dial-up number (*99#) and the user name and password (which I believe should be blank or guest and guest - neither works). In the advance settings I am inputting the extra dial- string modem commands as follows +cgdcont=1,"IP","three.co.uk" and the rest of the settings as advised by Enfora's guide. I am unable to connect with those settings. I note from Three that CHAP authentication is needed for connecting and the WM2003 wizard shows no security settings options. Is there any third party dialer software that will allow configuration of CHAP security on a connection to this modem? Or is there a way of making the existing wizard configure the security settings? Or is it possible the SIM cannot be used outside the USB modem? It does work in a Three contract phone. I am fairly convinced it is simply an authentication issue.

    - Dictation Software We've struggled finding good dictation software. Most that claim to be are simply just voice recorders, and do not allow to overwrite and etc...like true dictation equipment. I've tried Pocket Dictate, which they screwed up in their new version, and Opus. Anyone know of any other programs that are good?

    - Release DLL Problem Hi there I have a DLL written in C++ which I call in my Embedded Visual Basic Application. The problem is when I call a particular function from the DLL which requires an LPTSTR argument. I send the argument as a String from VB. It works FINE if I run the Debug-version of the DLL, but when I run the Release-version of the DLL it sends an empty string to the function.. Any Ideas for this anomaly..

    - ARM DSP Instructions in Windows Mobile 5.0 Hi, I am working on Windows Mobile Pocket PC 5.0 Emulator.I am working on Visual Studio 2005 . We are converting inline assembly to separate assembly functions and meanwhile we encountered an exception at SMULWB instruction. I got information from internet that WindowsCE doesnt support ARMv5 instructions only ARMv4.Is this true ? I found that there are ARM DSP-enhanced Intrinsic Functions like _SmulAddWLo_SW_SL are available. 1) But when i use the function in .c files,its building fine but while running in emulator throwing the following error Undefined Instruction: Thread=97529938 Proc=814c6e30 'mp3_encoder.exe' AKY=00002001 PC=00056800(mp3_encoder.exe+0x00046800) RA=00056860(mp3_encoder.exe+0x00046860) BVA=1c17f6fc FSR=00000405 Unhandled exception at 0x00056800 in mp3_encoder.exe: 0xC000001D: Illegal Instruction. The program '[57b4bc2a] mp3_encoder.exe' has exited with code 1067 (0x42b). 2) But when i use the function in .asm or .s files,its throwing linker error like " Unresolved external Symbol" what might be the problem ? 3) But when CLZ (which is a ARMv5 instruction) is replaced with _CountLeadingZeros intrinsic in assembly file(.s and .asm ),its building and running fine. i havenot seen anywhere any discussion regarding the topic in the internet. Hope experts can help me ? If nobody has faced the situation,hope Microsoft guys will look into this topic as the subject hasnot been addressed till now.

    - My PDA-N is not connecting to my PC Hi, I'm a med student and you could say that my whole life depends on my PDA. I have an i-mate PDA-N but I cannot synchronize it to my computer. I got it used (without the original software), however I tried it on 3 different PCs: 2 running Windows XP and ActiveSync 4.5 and one running windows Vista with its built-in sync. I could connect via bluetooth to the one running Vista but the USB connection is not working on anything. I need to install a program i got but it needs activesync.

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.

I believe all pda's switch on at midnight to read the calendar.
Problems happen when something running keeps it from turning back off.
Close all programs, use the close active programs dialog, just clicking
the X doesn't do it, before shutting it down. If that fixes the problem,
try one at a time to see what's holding it up.

Another problem is active sync wanting to run. There's a thread
on aximsite.com about "fake server hack" that may be relevant.

Also check the timeouts in the power settings. On (only) one past
device I determined that it was necessary to assure that no two timeout
settings were the same... i.e. screen and power each had a unique value.
