Disable certificate checking

Ugh. Trying to find out how I can install my root certificate onto these WM2005 devices.
Certchk doesn;t work any more and I can't change anything in the registry (apparently the reg editor would have to be signed by the operator?!)
Can anyone help? Otherwise I have the alternative of buying an expensive certificate (bloody rip-off!) or sending this nice phone back!

Hi I got an I-Mate SP5 / (HTC Tornado), and have the same problem.
Please add your thoughts to this thread if you come closer to a solution.
I have tried to change SecurityPolicy like on the 2003 device with no luck..
I have tried to change policy direct in registry + with some freeware tools.
Running out of ideas... ;/ I really don't want to pay bucks to be able to use install own software on my own phones, and use own root CA certs.. it is just annoying.. The security model should be as on ppc.. og atleast possible to manipulate manually in a configuration stage.

try attached file.
I got a package of debug tools
I can see many other files for installing certificate something in it.
I think this should be enough to install software.

Thanks fly,
Didn't try your file, but I did find out how to get it working.
I posted it in another forum... (do a google for "fergus certificate disable" amd the first one comes up with it.) Seems to work, at least for me.

On Imate.com there is now a specific program for installing the certificate for the SP5. I have sometime read, that this program is OEM specific, so I don't think that it will work on a Qtek 8310.

whatever I do - can't make it work
Trie it on mt Qtek branded Torndo. Followed all directions to the letter, used same self administered certificate working OK on my Qtek 9000 and IMate PDA2K... doesn't work, anybody has a clue ?

thx

It works
Actually Following above instructions work. I just mispelled our incredibly long domain name

Upload Imate Utility
Can someone upload the Imate Chertificate utility to the FTP site or attach it to a message here, or PM it to me. I have the new T-Mobile SDA, so I can't get the file from Imate's site and it does not appear to be on Imate's FTP server.
TIA

I Found It.
Here it is

Didn't Work on T-Mobile SDA
The i-mate utility would not run on my US T-Mobile branded Tornado (SDA). However, the instructions in the linked thread above worked perfectly. Thanks. I'm now syncing with my exchange server and my own generated certificate with ease.

Disabling certificates
Is there a way to simply disable certificates?
If not how the f#@k do I get a simple program in visual studio onto my phone.
I have added the Microsoft_Visual_Studio_Remote_Tools.cer to my app.
I have used regedit to set the propeties as above.
I have installed Microsoft_Visual_Studio_Remote_Tools.cer to my device.
When I try to compile the app I get the error saying security is stopping the install.
I am obviously do not understand what goes where.
Anyone have a idiot level step by step guide to get the thing working.
Hurry up about to hang myself

Greetings from Ukraine!
I expect to receive Cingular 2125 soon and would like to ask a question. Since our MS Exchange Server uses our own security certificate I will have to add our root certificate into Cingular 2125. I have successfully done that several times for HTC MTeoR using SP_AlowCertificateInstall.
Can somebody advise whether it may also be possible to unlock Cingular 2125 by means of SP_AlowCertificateInstall to be able to install our certificate?
If not and as posts in this topic are rather old perhaps you know some “nowaday” method to add security certificates into Cingular 2125?

DeepFish! (New microsoft browser for WM5+ devices!)

Has anyone tried it yet?
http://labs.live.com/Deepfish/whatis.aspx

I saw this posted elsewhere and tried to sign up, but they have already stopped new applications
Would love to try it on my Wizard though. Opera is fine for me on the Universal, but anything less than VGA would benefit from something like this.

My activation ID is different so I wonder if they're tracking these?
Oh, and doesn't posting this break the rules????

@Griffy wiffy Thanks for posting the cab-file and the code
So far Deepfish works smnooth and offers a nice idea on browsing the internet on a ppc but in its early development stage it's not useful for daily purpose, but shouldn't take long until we have a good alternative for surfing the web

I guess that the posted cab is for pocket PC? Any chance anyone is willing to post the smartphone version?

"As a technology preview, Deepfish is early in its development cycle (still a few releases from beta quality). As a result some features are not implemented or are only partially implemented. Currently, the technology preview does not support ActiveX controls, AJAX, cookies, Javascript, and HTTP POST."
PUKE... I don't get how its worth browsing with???? no cookies??? no java??? I think i'll wait till final release

this is very nice idea, it is useful right now, it looks a lot like I already saw on some Nokia phones, E series. I'm wandering why is not freely available for download, is money the only thing that drives M$ !?

Does anyone know if this works on WM6. I've tried installing this and it says its successful but there is no new program installed nor any shortcut icons>
Any ideas

seem the activation code was blocked

It won't and I don't think WM2003(SE) support will ever be released. The platform is being ntirely phased out; for exmaple, NetFront 3.4 and Minimo 0.2 don't support it either.

WM6 & Linux

Since I last tried Linux about 6 months ago and found it to be almost suitable to my computing needs, it appears that most of the issues I had have been corrected. However, in that time, I obtained a Windows Mobile phone (Dopod 838pro). Knowing that there's issues with synchronizing WM6 with Linux, I'd like to enquire who's done it and what sort of issues they experienced?
On a similar note, I'm aware that it is extremely difficult to get data out of Outlook into any similar program. Perhaps someone could suggest ways to solve this? I have been considering getting an exchange server subscription as my free email has unfortunately become unreliable of late. The deciding factor on whether I go this route or just get a gMail account will be whether there is a Linux client compatible with Exchange Server so that I can use Wireless ActiveSync with my phone (and hence get instant alerts on my mobile - note, this is not overly important to me as my email comes in infrequently anyway and is not overly urgent).
To summarize what is otherwise a long statement, my questions are as follows:
What are the issues involved in synching a Windows Mobile 6 phone with Linux?
Are there Linux email clients compatible with Microsoft Exchange Server and by extension Wireless ActiveSync?
What are your recommendations for a cheap but reliable Exchange Server based service if these exist?
If Wireless ActiveSync is not a viable solution to this problem, how might I get my email/contacts/calendar out of Outlook and into an equivalent Linux program?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Wich linux do you have ??
I founded some solution on french ubuntu forums some times ago, il should exist on english forum too : look there :http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=528770&highlight=smartphone

Yes and I suppose I could go over to his house and setup the sync for him too. I gave him what he needed to find the articles already posted on this forum. I run linux and don't even use synce...I use mail2web....I gave him several CHOICES and he can evaluate which one he prefers.

Live mesh mobile client available

If you have been using the live mesh technical preview, the mobile client for wm6 is now available. Just sign in as normal and then add device.

I'm still seeing "Coming soon for mobile" The limited Mac tech preview shows up, though.

I signed in and out of live mesh and it appeared.

Must not have replicated to the servers I hit yet. I'll keep an eye out. Thanks for the heads-up!

I really like live mesh, (for me at least), it just works out of the box.

Hi !
Is there someone that can post the cab ?
Thanks !
Whatever !
I found it :
http://m.mesh.com/install/wm6/LiveMesh.cab
But it doesn't connect to the mesh : "only available to a limited number of users"

Arrgh this is annoying, Ive been using Mesh for a while and now its comming up with for U.S only wtf?

It says US and UK on the Live Mesh blog. I am however having trouble at the point where it's trying to add the device, possibly because I'm on GPRS at the moment and it might be timing out, I guess.

SQL CE error
When I try to install I get this error message....
"Live Mesh was unable to find a suitable version of SQL CE on this device. Unable to install Live Mesh."
I've tried to install SQL, i downloaded it from microsoft directly, and its listed as "SQLServerCompact 3.5 Core" under Remove Programs....
Any ideas??? I really want to use this....

Yes, it's only for US and UK
I installed the mesh cab, and using an "US" account (a french one, but with my country changed to US ) it WORKS ! And works well. I have now a "cabstore" synced with my own server, live mesh and my TyTN II.
Great service !

Got it last night, works great with my XV6800.

I've got this exact same problem. I posted over on the Microsoft Mesh forum and am waiting for a conclusive answer. It's been passed over to the Mobile Dev team apparently.
http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en/LiveMesh/thread/8e80d590-9c88-4522-bdab-3d23bea718c0
I wonder if it's got anything to do with cooked roms? I'm running CRC WM 6.1 v13.0 on my Hermes.
--Update--
Apparently there is an issue with cooked ROMs as they don't all include SQL. Installing SQL seperately will not help unless you use a version lower the 3.5 but even that has not been proven yet.
I'm going to try and find an older version of SQL and give it a bash.
Further information here:
http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/LiveMeshMobile/thread/b8a6da09-c53a-4168-91bf-f476d2a1876f

Firstly I am in the UK Ive downloaded the updated cab and now everytime I run it it gets past verifying user and then gets stuck on Getting mobile phone identifier and then fails

SQL CE Issue has been identified and resolved
The client needs SQL CE 3.1 installed, and does not work with SQL CE 3.5 installed.
Read and follow information in forum:
http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/LiveMeshMobile/thread/b8a6da09-c53a-4168-91bf-f476d2a1876f/

All working well after applying Jef K's fix over on the Mesh Forum.
Problem now is that the MEsh Client can't acquire my device ID to register the phone onto my mesh.
Issue being delt with over at http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/LiveMeshMobile/thread/c7ce844c-a4e3-4be4-838d-1ebdca5986e7

I downloaded the cab but says that I cannot do it because only a limited number of users can right now. How sad...

Limited Users, anyone else got the same problem?
cheeers Tom

I use mesh for a back up right now and it works great for my home computers. Some things that bugged me are:
No remote desktop.
It will only sync your remote directories to the main memory. I tried to sync my work folder and it didn't place it in the storage card.
It launches external applications to view the mesh folders (Pocket IE) and the file explorer to view local folders.
All in all, a nice first attempt. Build in remote desktop and I would PAY for a service like this!

@Networkguy: it's still the first beta... keep waiting
Unfortunately i can't find a today plugin. This is sad. Anyone has an idea?

HTCs respons on the exchange matter

so.. i've mailed HTC about the exchange client not syncing if the exchange server requires a pin code...
ME:
hi, i have a htc magic and im really happy with it. the only thing i cant get to work is the activesync client. which, from what i can read from the net doesnt support exchange servers that requires pin. ive tried to download dataviz roadsync which can handle the exchange sync with no problem, but roadsync cant sync calendars. and i want to be able to use the built in activesync client.. so my questions is: when will you upgrade the activesync client to support the pin (enterprise security?) function??? this is a vital part of my everyday work
HTC:
Dear Fredrik, Thank you for contacting HTC Europe, and thank you for your feedback. As you state in your email the Exchange Server application does not at this moment support pin security. We don't have the information if and when that will be available. I would advice you to state your question to the Android Developer team at developer.android.com to see if they could supply you with more information. (We at HTC are only involved in software development that seams our specific phones to suit the Android OS). If you have any further questions or queries, feel free to get back to us at any time. Kind Regards Dave Montanya HTC Europe
seems to me that they're saying, "we didnt develope the 'activesync' client, go ask google".. but how come this software is only on the htc branded phones? so i replied with:
ME:
hi again, thanks for your answer, but from what i can understand, from what i've read online, the software for syncing with exchange in my HTC branded Magic is developed by you guys at HTC, because you cant find this software on the regular google branded htc Magic phones. best regards fredrik
-update1-
HTC:
Thank you for your quick reply. I apologize for my earlier reply, you are indeed correct that HTC develops the inbuilt Exchange Server application (I had to double check this). Unfortunately as for now I can neither confirm or deny whether pin security or certificate support will be supported by a future upgrade or not. The Android OS is a very new OS and I personally believe that the support for the above functionality will be included by future updates (this is my personal opinion and not that of HTC Europe). Kind Regards Dave Montanya HTC Europe
ME:
thanks for the fast response! i hope that it will be implented very soon as stated in my first mail, this is a vital part of my daily work and i dont want to go back to using my old phone can you let me know when you hear anything about the pin security function? Because this is a big issue, practically all the big companys that uses exchange has pin security activated. So im far from alone with this problem thanks again, Fredrik
-update2-
HTC:
Thank you for your quick reply, I do understand the importance for you using this. In the meantime, feel free to look for alternative applications such as Roadsync or the other available Exchange Server applications on the market.
If I get any more information within a reasonable time, I will let you know by email.
Kind Regards
Dave Montanya
HTC Europe
i guess thats the end of it
ill uppdate if i ever get that mail from Dave.

Interesting matter! I'm not too interested in exchange support because I use gmail I hope you can tear out some more info

I would rather that they didn't implement any MS-crap as it only serves to propagate the repression. Force people to upgrade to something that isn't proprietary instead.

So you don't want me using the phone then?
My company uses Exchange, so I need that integration...
You think companies will stop using exchange cause people like android?
