I have a TMobile Pocket PC Phone (XDA) and a new iMate (XDA II).
Can I Activesynch both of these to the same PC (laptop)?
Is there an easy way to get the programs I've installed from the old to the new?
You should have no problems synching both to the laptop. A fresh install of your programs would be best, then any data that you may have can be copied into the data directoryof the program on the new machine.
keep in mind that you will probably want to provide a different name to each of the devices.

Hey All, I'm very excited here , my new 8125 will be in my hands Wednesday. The first thing I would like to find is a weather program to install. I use xWeather on my Treo 650, it gives me nice radar views. I would love to have something like that for my 8125. I wonder, can I try loading the Treo 650 program on the 8125 or is that a No No. So ware do I go to find down loadable programs for my 8125. I go to mytreo.net for tons of free stuff and trial programs for the 650, is there a place like that to go for my new 8125? Watch ya say guys? Thanks...
As far as Weather Programs -- there's WeatherPanel by Marsware, Spb Weather, and Sbsh Pocket Weather that I'm aware of.
As far as other apps -- go to Handango, Pocketgear, Freewareppc, or pocketpcfreewares. Or, just do a google search for "PPC APPS".
Another suggestion is to mosey over to the Cingular Customer Forums and do a forum search for "8125 apps" to see what kinds of programs some of us are running on our 8125's.
Thanks newbie2 for all the info. I went to all that you mentioned and did the google search and found lots more; way cool ! I like very much the Marsware WeatherPanel also, I will put that in the new 8125 first thing and for 12 bucks I will buy it also. I sure hope my new 8125 comes with a data transfer cable or I will be bummed out big tme. LOL

It comes with the USB sync cable to connect to your computer to sync AND for downloads -- so, you're all set!!
Thanks for the info on what the unit comes with, that's a relief!! I set up folders and book marks for all this new stuff so I'm all ready. I been waiting for Fed-X, my package is out for delivery. I down loaded Weatherpanel and am ready to install that also. I'm used to getting stuff for my Treo 650 and having to install .prc files for programs. It was interesting to see that the weatherpanel has a .exe extension and it seems as though programs for the 8125 mda set up as if you are doing regular computer installs; hence the name Pocket PC. This is neet stuff... Now ware is that truck..........
New 8125 came in yesterday, I am loving it. I stayed up late to get it set up the way I want and all is fine, everything from syncing to E-Mail to Wifi is all done. My 1Gb sd card will arrive Friday then I will install Weatherpanel, with that install I guess I just use the explore from the hot sync manager and put the program in a folder and just double click the .exe file. I'm really not sure how to install programs yet to the phone, any info would be great. I use 4 E-Mail addresses and having to switch between each one to check them all is a pain. With my Treo 650 I used Snapper Mail and it checked all accounts one after another automaticaly. Is there an E-Mail program for my 8125 that will work the way Snapper Mail does? I looked briefly for Snapper Mail for Pocket PC's but still no luck. Again any info is appreciated. Thanks All....
For an .exe install, you want to install from the desktop through ActiveSync. Just double-click the program's install icon -- the installation will start on your desktop and go through the ActiveSync connection to install to your phone.
To install a .cab file, drag and drop ( or copy and paste) to your phone through Active Sync ( I ususally put .cab files onto the SD card). Then just navigate to it on the phone through File Explorer, tap on the file and it will begin the install process.
If your SD card is in your phone, you'll be asked at the beginning of the install process whether you want the program installed to the device or storage card. Just make your choice, click "install" and the installer will do the rest.
Sorry -- don't know about any programs for multiple email accounts. It's all I can do to keep up with just ONE!!
yes you can run Palm OS 5.2 (or older) on your PPC!
Just visit http://styletap.crmhelp.net/?_a=knowledgebase&_j=questiondetails&_i=5
but know that is not freeware. But I still prefer WM5 apps
I just upgrade with the last AKU3.50 with HimaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and now i cannont synch but i can install aps...
By the way i use DOC tools to upgrade the storage to 30 Mb
If anyone have an idea, let me know
Thx
Whats your activesync version?
I'm on 4.5 beta
an di got the error => Support code 80070057
I try :
- changing my ROM => nothing
- changing my Radio => nothing
So actually i'm under AKU 3.50a.32 WWE with Radio 1.19 and 30 Mb of storage (using DOC tool).
Could I have done something wih the Disc On Chip ?
NB : I use Office 2007, it work before with my old 2003 ROM.
After, I upgrade so i force with HimaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and the progs wont install temselves...
So i change the ROM again, the Radio...progs install works but the synch can't be achieved
Don't hesitate to curse me for 3 generations
I think the problem isnt on your device buth rather on you computer..
Why dont you try to make another user on your computer then try to sync it there..
Lets see what will happen
back in 5 minutes with the answer...
It isn't my PC, it's my device...
So is there a hard hard reset ? or do i try to be back to an old 2003SE or anyone could me what I do wrong with my Hima .
do you have an application that actually closes programs? if yes, try to set activesync.exe as an exception.
I got a task manager but i dont see what you want to do
Trying to tell my firewall or toher that active sync is good for me ?
=> It's the case because it was working fine before
Trying to close the prog on my device ?
=> Haven't a activsync.exe just en repllog.exe with the activ sync icone.
Well well well, i'm so fu**** confused
Back to old 2003SE and it works... Geez !
tried looking up the error code?

I have the very same problem, since i've cook a new rom aku 3.2 w/ 24Mb of pagepool. I've noticed that i can't delete or modify any file in the root folder, but using resco explorer. So i guess that my root folder for a reason i don't know, is write protected. My hima didn't sync with outlook, using any versior of ActiveSync at home and work (before the new rom, it works pretty fine), but it gets connected so i can use internet... So any of you guys can tell me how to solve my problem?
It would be very appreciated
I have the same problem,so i did backup my Data directly on the Himalaya Device und copied it over the WM5 Storage tool,its a small run in a Circle but
its functional ,You can Install Apps too,because you can choose now (thanks to WM2k5)where the
Apps are going to copied..
I do the same thing, but i really need to sync with mi outlook at home and work, so that back up don't solve the problem.
The problem is 100% in your PC. I discovered this when I notice that my laptop sync ok but want sync with my desktop. I done everything under the sun to make sure my disktop mirro image of the lapttop but nothing works.
Then at last I discovered that it works when I UNchecked the settings on the device (USB to PC) to disable the advance network functionality.
I suggest you delet active sync first and re-install it then reboot..
Good luck.
forget to mention both laptop and desktop XP, and device is XDA2 with AKU3.5
I think better use the fix version 4.2 not beta 4.5. It could be there is some bugs in the software.
Is this just an email sync issue, rather than just comms?
Do you use Exchange server?
Try this:
On the Exchange server, launch Internet Services Manager. Right click on the Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync virtual directory and choose Properties. Select the Directory Security tab. Click the Edit button in the Secure Communications section and select the option to “Ignore client certificates.”
Hi,
I won´t bore you with the complicated story that put me in this situation.
What I would like is this…
1. That the calender and tasks FROM the computer is exactly syncronised TO the smartphone.
With "exactly" I mean that if there for example are objects on the Smartphone that are not on the computer those should be removed. No objects, wheter updated later on the smartphone or not, should be taken into consideration.
2. The second thing I would like is the reverse, namely that the "Files" folders FROM the Smartphone i exactly (as described above) syncronised TO the computer.
Please be concrete in any advice I am new in the game, and the active sync help is not much of help

ActiveSync will not do this as it will *synchronise* your PC, and phone.
It sounds like you just want is one way synchronisation, something ActiveSync can not do.
Pumasoft's Intellysync used to do one way synchronisation, but I am not sure if it's available as a standalone desktop application anymore.
I am unsure why you need only one way transfer though, if yo uare away from your desk, and you make an appointment on the phone, why wouldn't you want this updated on your PC?
Also with the files, they should update both ways, nothing will go to the phone unless you change it on the PC, so that should already work as you require.
too bad... I guess you are shure about this.
Do you know why then it is possible in Activesync (Tools / Alternatives /)
too choose from what I want to syncronise in the:
Hermes / TyTN
VS.
The PC?
What is that function for, why is it splitted?
Ok, I will explain the background.
I exported outlook and what I didn´t know was that the things I had exported before would come back when I Imported outlook again (.pst - file).
So on my travel I was stuck with lots of information that was outdated.
(Pocket PC:n could not syncronise all the info I had so therefore the export to external harddrive.)
So I decided to temporarily use only the files and contact parts of outlook and then one way syncronise it the best parts of what I had on the Pocket PC vs. home computer outlook.
I have enormous amounts of information i outlook so it will be some work to get rid of the outdated info - and the outdated info is not always older than the updated.
/Danne
OK let me get this right.
Your PC is correct.
Your phone is outdated.
If this is right, then delete the activesync connection to your phone, and recreate a new one. When it asks you if you want to combine items, or overwrite them, just overwrite them, and this will replace everything on the phone with what is on the computer.
Yes that sounds like a good solution!
As said I am new and don´t know the how´s.
But first I will syncronise only contacts and files since these are the most updated on the Pocket PC.
But do you know why there is a split between sync between the Pocket PC and the Home PC? (tools / settings)
Should the settings be that all relevant things are checked on both units?
Thanks!
/Danne
I have to to to town for a while, will be back in a couple of hours.
/D
Even thou I erased the mobile from active sync and restarted the computer it had saved the files somewhere and I wasn´t given the option to erase what was on the mobile more than mediaplayers files.
Welll... there will be some work but..
End of story.

Hello,
is there a possibility to exchange some files between my Orbit 2 and my Macbook (OS X 10.4)? I tried to use a computer-to-computer network but couldn't get it working. So can anyone help me please? Unfortunately I'm new to Apple and Windows Mobile. So please be very precise when you describe what I have to do (think about a DAU² ).
Ah yes: I don't want to synchronise anything (like adresses or so), just wanna exchange some music/videoclips via wifi (hope this is faster than bluetooth where I only get ~100kb/s). Thank you very much!
Hi, I have just started to use SyncMate which is free to sync my iTunes music library on my Mac with my TyTN II. It works really well but I have been using a USB rather than WiFi connection. The program does support WiFi though.
You can download the software from
http://blog.eltima.com/2008/01/sync-your-mac-and-a-smartphone-with-syncmate.html
Although this is sync software it should also be able to do what you want as you can Sync a folder on your Mac with a folder on your phone which will enable you to transfer files to and fro.
Good luck and be interested to hear if the WiFi sync works!
if boths were connected to the wifi router it would be a matter of setting up normal filesharing like between 2 computers
if otherwise one would have to do it as adhoc network
but i dont know how these things are handled on macs
on pc's it the pc sharing would have to be running the server service
and have the pda as a user with reading and writing rights
And BT ? or MissingSync
I have an old iMac and I made some ringtones. I sent them by BT with no problem. I dropped Syncmate cause I got some issues with the calendars and the contacts. MissingSync is perfect but not free. You can install whatever but you need a cable. Will try to check the WiFi
Yes, with bluetooth I managed to send some files. But speed was not that fantastic (~100kb/s). So I'll try to get it working with Wifi. Maybe speed there is better. I got my device recognized by the Macbook and an IP was sent to my phone but I don't know how to access to files. Unfortunately I have no time for the next two weeks to test it any further. Please post your efforts if you have success. Thanks!
So, I already got what I want (even better). I found the freeware MochaSoft FTP-Server. This software has to be installed on your PDA. It youses the FTP-Protokoll. Therefore it lets your PDA act as an FTP-Server. All you need then is an Internet Browser, which has an FTP-Client (for example Internet Explorer or you use the fireftp-extension for Firefox). Now you can access your PDA and exchange files via Wifi. Speed is much better than Bluetooth (~700kb/s read and 680kb/s write). The good thing is, that you aren't limited to the platform anymore. (I don't know if the standard Linux browser has an ftp-client, but my beloved Firefox has a Linux-Version too.)
P.S. @linux-users: Please don't kill me for my last sentence. I believe that linux is able to handle these things out of the box. It's more for us windows users to know that it's possible.
I have a question about whether or not it is possible to use my roommate's windows vista laptop and activesync to install HardSPL to my Tilt 2 and then after to sync it with my snow leopard mac with missing sync and flash ROMs via the SDcard method?
Essentially my worry is whether or not setting the phone up and installing hardSPL on a windows computer will format the device for windows preventing it from being synced with my Mac.
An example of this would be an ipod/iphone, if you sync the device with one operating system, windows or osx, it needs to be reformatted to sync with the other system, thus erasing all the data on the device.
Follow up question: Would this reformatting, if it is indeed what occurs, get rid of the HardSPL installed on the device?
Thank you in advance for your responses, this board has answered many of my questions and i look forward to being an active memeber of the community!

I do all that with my Tilt , so there is no reason to believe that you will not be able to do that with the Tilt 2.
I sync all the time with Windows XP on the Windows side of my Intel iMac and also sync on the OSX side of my iMac with MissingSync. No data loss or reformatting issues ever.
I don't know if Missing sync is compatible with Snow Leopard yet, you may want to check.
.
thank you for your help! I'll check the compatiblitly of the program I decide to use for syncing on my mac. Do you use missingsync or do you have another program similar to it you could recommend?
