    - 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? Thanks.

    - 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.

    - 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.? -- A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject.

    - hp6925 time not correct after hard reset Hello all, I had to hard reset my HP6925. I have the correct time and time zone (GMT -6) set on my PC and device. I've installed the Microsoft Extended DST update (SP34881). Everytime I sync the time on my HP is one hour off (early). I've soft-reset my device a couple of times. I've un-installed the Microsoft extended DST update from my PC. When I try to unstall it from my device I get the message: the Microsoft Extended DST update was not completely removed. How do I get the time sync'd correctly? Thanks Tag: iPAQ to laptop with vista and without outlook Tag: 489795

    - 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.

    - XDA Orbit screen sensitivity 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.

    - 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: iPAQ to laptop with vista and without outlook 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: iPAQ to laptop with vista and without outlook 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.

I would like some explanations to understand how the network management is working vs. the connections.

    - Full Voice-to-Text What projects or software is there that does full voice-to-text on a PocketPC or similar device?

    - 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.

    - 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: iPAQ to laptop with vista and without outlook 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.

    - 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: iPAQ to laptop with vista and without outlook 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: iPAQ to laptop with vista and without outlook 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: iPAQ to laptop with vista and without outlook 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: iPAQ to laptop with vista and without outlook 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: iPAQ to laptop with vista and without outlook 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: iPAQ to laptop with vista and without outlook Tag: 489652

there are a couple of web calendar sync options out there... the one I
have used and like is goosync which syncs google's calendar to your PPC
via an internet connection.

takes a bit of effort to learn google's interface, but, when you get
through that, it has a lot to like. It should be possible to export
your current calendar and sync it into a google calendar account.

suggest a google on POCKETPC CALENDAR WEB SYNC

to clarify... goosync sync's both ways... so, if you sync with calendar
events on your ppc, they will end up in the google calendar which can
then be exported.

You can sync files and favorites, but synching contacts and calendar
requires Outlook.

Without Outlook your options are pretty limited. You can use a free
Exchange account from mail2web.com to sync to an offsite Exchange server
and view/edit the information in a browser window (Outlook Web Access,) or
sync with 3rd-party tools to Google or Yahoo calendars.
