vista and the pda connection - General Topics

I think that you can help me. I installed the wmdc and connected my htc kaiser, but when the connection is established, my notebook doesen't show the green dialogue you can see here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx
I got a simple windows dialogue "automatic ...." with the general options to open a explorer window, play a dvd, ..... and so on.
what went wrong, that I dindn't get the beautiful green window.
when I tried to install a program via this connection, an error message told me, that windows mobile device center ist not installed correctly. and really, shortly before installation is through, it "runs back" .... but a wmdc control box shows an active connection ... I use the original microsoft installation file .... do anyone have the same problems or could help me solve it.
please dont be angry about reading this here. I simple doesn't know a better place, if you do ... please let me know ...

have you tried opening windows mobile device center from the shortcut in all programs to see if it runs, the icon by the clock is just the sync manager.
Make sure you have installed all available updates from microsoft and if you still cant open it from all programs then try downloading it from the microsoft site again. As you might of got a corrupt file during download.

I have downloaded the file during testing for many times. the name of the file: drvupdate-x86.exe
vista is updated with all the available updates.
which shortcut do you mean .... can you post an example for opening?

now I know: the installation process failes, but without prompting an specific error message. shortly before installation is complete (last milimeter of progress bar), the installation progress goes backward an deletes all, what was installed before.
the latest file I got from the microsoft page with the header windows mobile device center 6.1 is the driveupdate-x86.exe with version 6.0.5824.16387.
is this the latest one? if not: where do I get the latest one?
do anyone have/had the same probleme and/or knows, how to solve it?

Problems accessing logMeIn via pocket pc

Hi I am having a problem accessing my pc from my pocket pc XDA 2i. I can access fine from a "normal" pc with no problems. From the XDA I can log in, then pick the remote pc from the my computers list, then enter my password and username, but the next page which would normally be the desk top, is a page showing the logmein free logo the name of the remote pc, a copyright notice, and an option to end the remote session. I cannot get any further than that !............hope you can help...........Thank you.
P.S. I am running NetFront 3.3 browser

Hi, I have tried it with Internet Explorer, and I get the same result
I have e-mailed LogMeIn support 7 days ago but still no answer
I've tried as well on my treo 750 and am having the same problem. I thought I read somewhere that the current version of logmein is not compatible with WM5. It works great between my computer at work and home though.

It's comptible with WM5 as is also pointed out in the Remote Desktop Access Bible ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=288506 ).
I've tried everything and cannot seem to get logmein to work. I log in to the website and then enter the login and password for my desktop computer and all I get is a screen showing the version of window I am using along with some memory usage bars. I can restart or my computer remotely, but that is all I seem to be allowed to do. As I mentioned before I don't have any problems accessing my computer from other desktop computers. One thing I have found is Z2 remote access. It's a bit slow, but works pretty well. The only thing is that it is not free, but it is only a one time fee for the software.
I'm thinking that this might me a browser issue. At least for me. If I use minimo I can at least get to the page that says remote control and end remote session. However when i click on it ends up going to a blank screen with nothing there. Can anyone who has this working tell me what their registry setting are for PIE, as far as showing it to be a PPC app rather than IE5. I think that I've modified it a few time and don't know what the default settings ar.
Hi There is no line saying "Remote Control" unfortunatley
Hi I tried modifying the settings, now its gone very strange, when I select my computer I know get connected to Remotely Anywhere, then a page showing text saying Windows XP, cpu load (No percent shown), Memory load ( no persent shown), Main menu, Reboot, end remote session. But I dont have a remotely anywhere account....very weird
Hey 600bhp. You might want to check on the logmein.com forums. There are two threads. One is titled " Problems accessing via pocket pc" and the other is " Why is Pocket PC no longer supported?" It would seem that logmein does not support ppc's for some reason if you downloaded it after 02/20. logmein is aware of the problem and apparently working on it.
LogMeIn Cab File for Pocket PC
I have been having a lot of the same issues. I have a PRO account so I called technical support. They sent me the following file. I've been connecting like a champ ever since. I use the bleeding edge beta version on my PC. This file also works with the regular version.

Yep that's the cab mine downloaded yesterday - unless it's been modified?
Anyway if it's the same then I agree works perfectly.

Are you TREO 750 owners still having issues? I'd like to know as I was
thinking of trying the 750 but need LMI for sure!
I know one this for sure the OPERA browser on PPC (WM5) will just go in loops, so LMI is the only thing I use IE for on my WM5 device(s).
Having have said that if the IE is somehow custom on the Treo 750? Could that be it??

I have a Treo 750 with the official ATT WM6 rom. I cant get logme in to work either. Here's what happens.
1) I visit http://logmein.com via pocket IE
2) I get redirected to http://secure.logmein.com/pda
3) I log in with my email address and password
4) I'm presented with "My Computers" and I click on a hyper link of one.
5) I'm asked to download RACtrlCE.cab
6) I save and install to main memory
7) I click the continue link on IE
8) I'm asked to log in again
9) I'm presented with "My Computers" again
10) I pick one, I'm asked to log in again!!!
11) I see "My Computers" again (endless loop)
What's wrong??
Gotomypc worked great when I used to have a free account through my work. Why doesnt logmein work on my pda?
update
I uninsatlled the RACtrlCE.cab via remove programs
I installed the ractrlce.cab from page two of this thread
I tested logmein.com on my treo. When it asked to download and insatll RACtrlCE.cab I clicked cancel to force it to use the other package. (no luck) Ok so I let it upgrade. It uninstalled ractrlce and installed the one directly from logmein once again.
It seems I can get further now for some reason but I'm still not connecting. Here's what I see now. I get redirected to the following url and the page has the following info:

Office Mobile 6/6.1 issue.

I got an issues with the whole mobile office suite. I had office mobile 6.1 installed from Microsoft site for my windows 6 pro device, and all was working well. However, now nothing is working. Excel gives me a pxl error, word says it can't open a file, or even create a new file. Okay so i thought I would reinstall it and see what happens, but it won't let me saying I have a newer version installed or something. So uninstall it same issue with the installer, not to mention the same issue with the whole office suite. So what can I do? Btw my device never came with one note nor did it get installed with office 6.1. Thank you.
Anyone please?
What I would try, if I had this problem would be uninstall again, then use a file manager to search and totally remove program files and folders related to office, then search the registry with a registry tool and remove all signs of Office, then install it again. The registry bit can be tricky if you don't know what you are doing but I would try anyway!
Yeah I would do that but it seems like my computer won't let me use the MSI file to install the 6.1 update.

*Important Questions*

I have tried everything but nothing seems to work! Every time I open up Windows Mobile Device Center and go to the settings for video it continiously says "unhandled exception" and "cannot find file specified" "Exception from: HR ESULT: 0x80070002" ....I tried uninstalling it reinstalling it whatever I can do but no luck!!!!
Also, I do not know if this is something causing it but very rarely will my XV 6900 sync with my Windows Media player and this might be the cause but it is weird it did sync once!
I know this is not a computer forum so I will limit my question to these. Thanks .
. I also have all my clients in Excel format and I wanted to click a link to make it dial directly to the phone and I know how to do it on a PC but not on the WM 6
So ... what are your "*Important Questions*"?
Sounds like his problems are:
1) Windows Mobile Device Center giving an error message.
2) Windows Mobile Device Center only syncing Windows Media player once and never again.
3) In Pocket Excel, how to make phone numbers direct dial when you click on them.
For problem #1 and #2, I would uninstall Windows Mobile Device and then run registry cleaner tools like CCleaner and Advanced WindowsCare. This will clean up every single trace of it. Then download the newest version out there and try it again.
For problem #3, I'm not sure. Perhaps someone else has some suggestions.

How to synchronize WM6.1 device with Lotus notes?
I tried Laplink PDAsync 4.1.1033 and XTNDConnect PC 6.5.9033 but I always get message:
Synchronization Failed: 17.11.2008 22:05:41
Error 1004: Unable to connect to device. Verify that ActiveSync is running.
Both programs worked with WM6.0.
Any solution?
I am using the IBM Lotus EasySync Pro which is working finw with my HTC Touch and WM 6.1 . I have tried a few different firmware versions w/o problems. Dow this is not a freeware application.
well I use Laplink with a 6.1 flashed i780, so thats not the problem.

can you access the device by means of active sync?
@Eriksm
Which version of IBM Lotus EasySync Pro do you use?
@bommel0815

PDA Sync 4 and Notes 6.5
it even works nicely with my new Xperia.
have you installed the CAB file on the device? the Sync Software.WM5.CAB?
you can find it in the laplink installation directory and you need this to sync.
There is no more problems with XTNDConnect v7.0. Thanks for your help anyway.
\\windows\101\xcpcsyncsvr.exe : error 2
I tried XTNDConnect V7.0, however when I first run it and it attempts to instal to the device (must be the device and not storage card) it chucks up the error "\\windows\101\xcpcsyncsvr.exe : error 2" that it can't see the .exe. I have checked in the win 101 folder and the file is there; there is also a file XcpcApiMgr.dll.
I checked on the Sybase WS http://www.sybase.com/detail?id=1054315 and point 6. advises that
"This issue is being reported with certain models of HTC-built Windows Mobile 5.0/6.0 Smartphones. It is caused by a certain type of security these devices have, which prevents the XTNDConnect PC CAB file from being installed properly on the device."
and instructs to download a security manager.zip from their FTP (this is a broken link and I have had no reply from them as yet).
and if this does not work to
"If you are still unable to install the XCPC CAB file onto your Windows Mobile 5.0/6.0 Smartphone it may be necessary to follow the manual unlock instructions from the link below."
I also checked in the reg as they advise but the security setting "tier 1" on the device is already as they specify.
Can any one help me please?
Cheers, Tom (1st post) Notes 7.0, Touch HD ROM 1.14.405.3 (22273) WWE
I'm using mNotes from Commontime. Tried a few other apps but like mNotes the best. Does over the air sync and never have to worry about connecting my phone. A little pricey at regular price, but not bad when it goes on sale.

Had the same problem with my Touch HD (worked occassionally, getting worse over time - EasySync 4.6, Notes 7).
I switched to CommonTime mNotes Desktop - works perfect (not free and if there is anything to mourn, it's that they only offer subscriptions - that means annual fees...).
EasySync Pro 4.2.6 Install Solved!
I've had various issues reinstalling DeLorme and EasySync on my WM 6.1 Fuze, but this time, after the June ROM Official upgrade, it fails continuously with the \Windows\211\XCPCSyncSvr.exe Fails, Err 2. I performed a hard reset, started ActiveSync (From XP Pro SP3) but did NOT configure it, only set it up as Guest file access. Launched the EasySync exe, and when the program sync message came up, clicked on both DeLorme and EasySync Pro. Loaded up like a champ on the Fuze this time. Now I'm going back and setting up ActiveSync and EasySync configurations.
Whew!
Hi !
I just got an HTC Touch HD and I have the same problem with XTND Connect...
It worked with my old Touch Cruise. Well it almost worked because Notes is really a piece of s**t ! It worked on single way sync (from pda to pc). In dual way sync I had troubles, Notes having difficulties to treat the periodical items from the pda...
With the HD it works first time, and after you get an error popup at startup and while trying to synchronize... And then no way to reinstall correctly XTND on the pda...
Anyone has the solution, I'm interested !
I can't use any other software on my pc cause it's my profesionnal one and it's locked up from everywhere...!

The Wingster - ROMs and Programs for the T-Mobile Wing

The Wingster: Access to all of the best Programs, ROMs, and Hacks for your T-Mobile Wing
As many of you already know, I created a website called "The Wingster", which is dedicated to everything for the T-Mobile Wing.
Programs - All programs are tested for compatibility with the Wing, any bugs or issues are reported, screenshots are created, features are listed, and more. I'm making all the apps on XDA accessable by the common user!
ROMs - There are a lot of ROMs out there, and since the cooks are busy creating newer versions, they don't always have time to make a nice detailed description page about their ROM. So I do it for them! Don't spend all of your time digging through a lengthy thread, if there was anything important that happened, it will be on The Wingster!
More - The Wingster is the place for everything T-Mobile Wing. If anything important happens about the phone, I'll be sure to tell everyone. The Wing II (HTC Touch Pro 2) will also be added to the site once I get it this July!
Enjoy using The Wingster!
Sneak Peak: A Mobile Wingster is coming in the near future! You can already visit the page, but I'd recommend not, because I'm still working on it. If you'd like an idea of how the mobile page will look in it's final version, visit this page. I know The Wingster is already freakin fast at loading, but I just wanted to make an even better mobile version!
And donations are always welcome! I've gotta pay $15 a year for the awesome website domain, so you've all got about 10 months to come up with $15 so we can keep the site! Just kiddin, I can pay that myself, but it'd be nice if I didn't have to. So yea, send the donations via Pay Pal, here: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=5401195
I hope I've helped all of you! And if anyone cannot donate with money, a nice reply saying how I helped you is always welcome! Just knowing that I'm helping everyone here makes me even more motivated to make the site better!
Thanks everyone, and thanks to Ivan especially, his awesome ROMs inspired me to make The Wingster.

ok i downloaded the flash center unzipped into my desktop. downloaded the nbh file. dragged the nbh file into the RUU folder, inside the flash center folder. Connected my phone and my computer through usb, and put my phone into flight mode. While it was syncing. Your direction on the wingster website said to run the USBL.exe file. But I can only fine the USPL.exe file. I thought you just messed up on the letters so i ran the USPL. exe file that i found in the flash center folder. The command line appears and after 75 percent of the 2nd step begins my phone blanks out white. And then the PDA utility pops out. After clicking finish, and then it saids something error check your utility. I did it like three times. Sometimes my phone pops up this little penguin and then freezes. But after all those attempts my phone still works normal. Can you please help me. Not clear about something just ask me. thanks.

Huh, yea, idk why it's not working. Umm it might be possible that your phone is a lower SPL than 4. Try this out:
Have your phone turned on like normal
Hold down the Camera button, and while holding it, press and release the Soft Reset button. Then once a new screen comes up, release the Camera button. This should bring up a colorscreen (Red, Green, and Blue), if not, tell me.
Check what SPL number you are. It should be over 4. If it is under 4, then we have to try something differently. Also check what IPL you have, and if it's under 4, then tell me again.
If you are over 4 on both of those numbers, then everything should be fine. Idk why it wouldn't work.
Are you using the default T-Mobile ROM (Still shouldn't matter)
Does ActiveSync work normally with your computer???
Answer and do those things that I listed out, then tell me the results and such. Thanks.
Restart the PC. It the PC not allowing the connection.
Also try:
Disabling your firewall.
Disabling and re-enabling USB support in ActiveSync.

The files should be fine, I used to use them and they worked perfectly for me. Are you by chance using Windows 7?
Ignore the "disabling the firewall" thing, because that should have no effect.
So yea, are u running Windows 7, Vista, or XP? And is it the 64-Bit or the 32-Bit version??
Don't put that HaRET file on your phone. It'll do nothing. The Penguin is actually part of the bootloader proccess or something, but running that HaRET file will solve nothing. And I have no clue what that HARET file is. And I've never seen a penguin on my screen before.

Idk, you could re-download it again, but all the files are in that one folder. You then placed the downloaded ROM file into the RUU folder there? Thats all you should have to do.
Which ROM are you installing, anyways?
htc wing
I donwnloaded the stable 6.1 version. I never had to unzip the file was i soppose it just automatically saved on to my desktop. And then i dragged it into the RUU file. Is the WM 6.1 soppose to be the NBH file? Because in my folder it says 7Z file type. I have another file but it saids NB file type. is this wrong?
