I have v1.2 and would like to permanently delete PocketNav loading at startup. How could I do this?
I use that silly 'Get Mail' program from Roger's AT&T in Canada and it sometimes won't run at the scheduled time if something elese is loaded.
Thanks
dont know about that program but if it dont have a shortcut in
windows\startup then you may want to use today under items and turn it off there
If you go into activ sync on the pc and go under tools, add/remove programms, you can delete it from there, I did so too

This is driving me up the wall. I do not want the stupid "Pocket PC sync wizard" starting up every time my phone is plugged in. I use Direct Push for all my email/contacts/calendar/etc, which is tied to my home mail server for my home domain. On my work PC, even though ActiveSync recognizes that I'm already configured for another Exchange server, it's trying to force my home contacts and stuff to my work account.
This should be a very minor issue, but of course, in typical MS fashion, unticking "Open ActiveSync when my device connects" doesn't do a thing. In the past, I've been able to use Q270136 to disable partnership and set ActiveSync to "Guest Only", which got rid of the stupid sync wizard popup. When I browse to HKLM/Software/Microsoft, there is no "Windows CE Services" key. I tried manually creating the key, and then the DWORD value, but that didn't work, either.
The only thing I need to do is be able to browse the device occasionally, add/remove software, flash ROMs, and send/receive SMS using MyMobiler. I don't want to sync over USB.
Can anyone help me? Could this just be a thing on work PC? I'm running XP-64 Pro, along with ActiveSync 4.5.
Thanks in advance.
Maybe a workaround would be to create a partnership and just disable all 'syncable' items.

Already tried that. The first synchable item is "contacts". When I uncheck it says:
"To proceed, ActiveSync must remove all Contacts on your Pocket PC. Do you wish to continue?"
I hate this stupid POS program...
I just recently deleted my internet explorer in the registry and program files. Now I cannot open my messages! I get an error that says . Popup apparently from From IE: "Internet Explorer; Press OK to continue loading the content of this page." in a little gray box.
Can somebody please help me with this? I do not want/need IE but I do need my messaging to work. To clarify, I can see the preview of the message in TF3D but I cannot open it, nor can I reply without the messaging freezing.
Update
So now I tried to update windows in the settings and it wont connect. Also, if i'm not connected via wifi it seems that I cant connect at all, even though it says im connected. Any advice?
First sync with activesync *DELETES* any info on your phone that you've selected to synchronize --by DEFAULT... That's right. --The default setting with activesync is to replace everything on your phone with whatever you have in Outlook on your computer (you've been typing everything into Outlook to match everything on your phone, right)?
Now this assumes you selected to synchronize your contacts, calendar, etc... If you avoid checking any boxes on your activesync setup, nothing will be overwritten.
The other solution I found (say you want your phone to add its info to Outlook on your PC) is to select all those boxes on setup and then when it starts synchronizing *IMMEDIATELY* cancel the sync. Below it will list the things you selected to sync. Right-click on these items, and you can then select which device to overwrite in case of conflict. THEN continue with sync... ***There is nowhere in the initial setup to choose this.***
The nice thing, is if your phone is empty and you keep everyone's info on Outlook, it will -by default- add that info to your phone. Hmmm...
NOW -why I'm posting... Obviously activesync deleted all my phone's info on the first go. NOT FUN. Looking around -plenty of others have had this problem. I could rant on how stupid Microsoft is, why should activesync overwrite anything, and why should ANYTHING EVER be overwritten / deleted without a warning...? But my real concern here is how I got started upgrading my phone by reading through these forums, and looking at step-by-step instructions for installs, and reading opinions and follow-ups, with no mention of activesync problems... Googling "activesync delete contacts" will get you get a ton --several in these forums.
My hope is that there will be a Full ActiveSync Sticky --and warning on future "step-by-step" instructions where activesync is referrenced (activesync is often referenced in step-by-step instructions for those who don't know how to add files to their phones)...
Other activesync features (problems):
There are other times (separating a partnership) when Activesync will try to delete everything.
Activesync will re-sync automatically every few minutes while your phone is connected, often slowing / disrupting installs, sms, tasks in general.
Activesync will automatically run every few minutes on the phone even after disconnect.
Conclusion: In general, there is way too much automation in Activesync where you really need manual control. Try deleting a contact on your phone by hand --you always get a requester for confirmation. For Pete's sake, even Anti-Virus software asks if you want to delete suspected files and usually gives you a quarantine option... Activesync is a SCARY SCARY program. Be very careful with it.
My current setting: NO boxes checked for activesync to automatically do anything. All it does is connect my phone to my PC...

Hello, everyone,
I hope this is the right forum, but please feel free to move it to the correct one.
My wife's HTC Dash (on a Rogers plan) began acting strangely yesterday. She said she was in the middle of texting when the Comm manager screen came up. When she finished her text, the shortcuts along the top of the screen were all missing, and when she tries to use them, it says something to the effect of "Error opening the shortcut of locating the target filename." I can't say exactly how this happened, since I was not with her at the time.
She can still send and receive text messages by highlighting the "Text Messages" section of the homescreen, and she can still access her contacts for calls and texts. The calendar can still be accessed through clicking on appointments in the home screen, but not through the shortcuts. Also, where the Comm Manager usually is on the home screen, it is now blank, but I can click on it and access the Comm Manager screen.
When I open the Start Menu, the only icon that remains is the T-Mobile "Set up Email" option. I can also not sync the phone to the netbook it's set up on. When I plug the phone in, it is recognized by the computer but in Mobile Device Centre program, it imply says "Error."
UPDATE:
I can plug the phone into the computer and it will be recognized. I can also use file explorer to see the files in the phone. Also, the phone will not let me change ring modes (Normal/Meeting/Silent/etc)
Has anyone had this issue before, and would a factory reset correct the issue? I told my wife it's likely she will lose her contacts, but she's not too concerned about it, since she can get those back easily enough. She just wants the full functionality back. She does not use the phone for email, so I can't speak to that.
Thanks for taking the time to read all this. I hope someone can help us!
Thanks
I'm sorry, but i can't help you with your problem, but you don't have to loose the contacts etc from the device as you are able to connect to a pc.
Find a program called 'jeyo mobile compagnion' you can download a demo from the official website,and you can make a back up of contacts, sms and call histtory
btw, afaik you probably have to make a hard reset (factory reset).
good luck!
Hi guys
A few days ago, I did a soft reset on my O2 Serra and when it switched back on, some of the most important functions (for me) does not load up, such as tasks, calendars, phone dialler, contacts, and a few more not worth mentioning. I normally don't use the TouchFlo and just have a standard windows desktop with a few of my main functions displayed on the "today" screen -- date, messaging, tasks, calendar and tomtom. After this problem has occured, now the today screen does not show the calendar and task any more. When I press the "answer" hard key, nothing happens. I tried accessing these functions from the Program menu, the screen just blinks once. Except when I try to access "tasks", an error msg comes up saying "no program memory available. tap start>system>task mgr, stop programs that did not stop automatically and try again", but when i check, nothing is running and there's lots of program memory remaining.
Just before this problem, I did not install or uninstall anything, all I did was change the time and time zone, and then I did a soft reset. I did this because I am on biz trip abroad 6000 miles away from home at the moment, and which is also the reason why I can't just do a hard reset. And my own laptop which I sync to is at home and not with me now. I don't want to just lose everything if anyone here can help me to recover it. I also have loads and loads of important things marked down in calendar, tasks and contacts which I need for my biz trip!!!!!!
Can anyone out there help out???
Or is there a way I can pull out a few files from the phone where tasks, calendar and contacts are saved? and maybe I can read them using another laptop whilst I am away from home?
It seems that windows in the phone did not start up properly, maybe some files corrupt? is there like a "windows repair" like u have on desktop windows?
Hi guys
Anyone got any ideas? just reading the data off the phone is good enough for now, i.e. is there one file that stores all the calendar, one file that stores all the tasks, one file that stores all the contacts? If there is, then I can just extract these and read them with, Outlook I presume, on any computer?
Thanks in advance.
