Hi,
I am using the dopod 1.11 CHT rom now, upgraded from the original ww3 1.03 o2 mini rom.
In the original version, i could set the buttons to execute the running programs application to quickly kill running processes, but with the upgrade, the ability to do this seem to be gone.
is this something that is only found in the o2 ext rom?
if so, can someone direct me to the files to install to get this ability back?
thanks
running programs
you find teh running programs at settings-memorythen running programs tab...
yes the running programs is at settings/memory
however in the original o2 mini rom, there was actually a link/program in the Programs folder that was called Running Programs, you can then assigned that to one of the buttons.
In both the 1.11 dopod CHT and qtek WWE roms, this has disappeared. I think that was an O2 customization which I am wondering how to add to my current setup.
Hi all, new here. Be gentle...
I've seen this problem alluded to elsewhere but I'm still confused.
I'm trying to install tomtom6 on an IPAQ3850.
Pocket PC 3
ARM SA1110 processor.
I have an SD card with the tomtom software, with 2577 folder which
holds autorun.exe, autorun.exe-run, ttn2003.cab and ttn.cab files.
When I insert the SD card I believe it should execute the autorun file
but nothing happens.
I have read this ( http://tinyurl.com/ywayr8 ) but am still a little confused about the 2577 folder feature.
I have tried manually executing the ttn2003 cab file, which extracts, seems to
install but fails when I try to run via the tomtom icon.
I believe 2577/autorun feature can be disabled in the registry. If so, how do I check if mine is disabled?
I know my way round a PC's registry but I don't know how to access a pda's registry.
Should I be able to manually execute the autorun.exe in the 2577 folder and expect it to install in a similar way as executing setup.exe on a CD / DVD if no autorun activated?
Yes, I think it can be disabled in the registry, although I don't know which key. About how to access it, there are many registry editors, and they work exactly like the Windows version so you won't have a problem with that. Among other apps you can use for that:
- PHM Regedit
- Resco Explorer
- SkTools
- etc
About Tomtom: do you have a start.exe file in the root of the SD card? I believe that's necessary.
Last but not least: yes you can execute autorun.exe manually
Cheers!
Hi,
The Ipaq 3850 comes with Windows for PocketPC 2002 and TomTom6 requires Windows for PocketPC 2003-there is an upgrade available on eBay for just £2-3.There are different vesionds for the 3850 and 3870 so make sure to buy the right one.I applied this WM2003 to my 3850 and also my 3870 and installed TomTom6 and it works well..
Ashley
Ineluki, thanks for your reply. After reading AshleySear's reply I was looking in the settings to see what version I had and noticed the autorun feature. It was disabled...
Strange, I thought it would have been enabled after I did a cold reset to set it back to factory default.
AshleySear, I think you may be on to something. In 'settings/about' it shows pocket pc version 3. In my ignorance I thought that *was* 2003. I'd be interested to hear what your ipaq has in 'settings/about'.
My Ipaq 3850 with WM2003:TomTom Nav6 is OK
Bios 3.00
OS:Microsoft PocketPC 4.20.1081 build13100
Prior to upgrade WM2002:TomTom Nav6 would not istall
Bios 1.2
OS:Microsoft PocketPC ?
Hope this helps.
If you do upgrade to WM2003 you lose everything and need to create a new partnership.
Currently I use a kaiser-so bith the 3850 and 3870 are in a box
Let me know how you get on.

Hi Ashley,
As you suggested; bought an upgrade on EBAY for £1.75 to Pocket PC 2003. Exactly the same OS build as you. Tomtom6 loaded straight away, maps recognised OK.
Please accept a virtual pint from me in appreciation.
Incidentally, where do you see which BIOS you are using?
Hi,
As you cold start/hard reset the iPaq the red/white screen,booton right corner it says something like BIOS 3.00
FYI
1.10,1.15,1.20=Ipaq 3800 without bluetooth & Windows for PocketPC2002
2.10,2.15,2.20=Ipaq 3800 with bluetooth & Windows for PocketPC2002
3.00=Ipaq 3800 without bluetooth & Windows for PocketPC2003
4.00=Ipaq 3800 with bluetooth & Windows for PocketPC2003
Glad to be of help.

has anyone managed to get epocrates installed and working on a WM 6.5 rom?
or is there someway to resize Thomson's Clinical Xpert for VGA screens?
I've recently flashed the stock ATT fuze rom to one of Da_G's WM 6.5 roms. It's fast, stable, and has great battery life (currently sitting on my desk after 26 hrs+ w/ maybe 10% remaining, which is a tremendous improvement from the <12 hrs i was getting). Everything is fine and dandy, but the most important software for me does not work.
Epocrates installs but does not perform the initial autoupdate. it simply stalls at the update screen. I've tried both the wireless installation and desktop installation and both do not work. Speaking to their tech support, I've found that WM 6.5 is currently unsupported. Anyone get this working on a WM 6.5 rom?
In the meantime, i've installed Thomson's Clinical Xpert, but it's interface was probably designed for QVGA screens so the drop-down menus are not navigable on my VGA device. how can i go about resizing the application for a VGA screen (either through modification of the CAB file or if there is any application that can alter the resolution/stretch it)?
thanks.
workaround in this post below
Having the exact same issue- any help will definitely be appreciated. I love the new 6.5 interface and would prefer not to go back to 6.1 unless absolutely necessary
Same here. I just spent an hour trying to load Epocrates until I found this thread. I like the WinMo 6.5 much better than 6.1, but unless someone can find a workaround I guess I will have to revert.

Same here. However, I did revert back to 6.1, still no luck on installing Epocrates. Even disabled the Microsoft encryption setting. Still no go.
what wm6.5 build is everyone using? i've so far only tried it on Da_G's 21198.
i'm really surprised that epocrates won't install on wm6.5 as i don't think very much has changed in the architecture from 6.1. the issue w/ epocrates is that it installs, but hangs during the initial autoupdate. the actual application is installed and can be opened briefly (i can see the the on top etc.), but the data itself is not there b/c it cannot be synced. when trying to install via the windows desktop installer, the autoupdate progress bar pops up and the download starts, but quits with an error about the autoupdater conduit.
if the conduit can be fixed/tweaked perhaps epocrates will work? has anyone tried moving files from a working 6.1 installation to an aborted install on wm6.5? i'd try to do it, but right now i don't have the time to rebuild my wm6.5 setup, which is also why i haven't flashed to one of the newer 6.5 builds.
for the time being i'm using Thomson Clinical Xpert, but its UI makes the application barely usable on my Fuze.

That describes exactly my experience. I am using the FuFuROM based on 21202 on my HTC Diamond.

It's same with me. I reverted to 6.1 bcos of epocrates and UpToDate. epocrates wont install as e'one here said. UpToDate installs and runs but cant display the final pages. It seems to use the IE and the pages are stored inside .jar files. somehow it cant go inside the .jar files to display the html files. It says the pages are not available.
I hope these issues will be solved soon.
BTW, I'm using TESS Premium 4.3 by Aman in my Elf.
Same
Wow same here, that's incredibly irritating
i finally had some free time to tinker this weekend and i've got epocrates running on wm 6.5!
following my previous hypothesis, i flashed to an old 6.1 rom and installed epocrates and performed an update. then i copied the "essentials" folder from "Program Files" to my sd card. i then flashed to wm 6.5 (da_g's 21501 beta 4 kitchen) and installed epocrates. as usual, it could not perform the initial autoupdate. instead, i closed the update application, deleted the existing Essentials folder, and copied the Essentials folder from my sd card that was from the intial 6.1 installation to Program Files. epocrates now works! i didn't bother with any of the add-on components/programs as i mainly need access to Rx, Sx, Dx, and labs tabs. of course, you likely will not be able to update epocrates from wm 6.5 as the crux of the problem is the autoupdater module.
Post perhaps?
Hey just wanted to add my 2 cents saying I'm having the same problem. I'm using HTC fuze with Mystic ROM by vRC1.0 based on Da_G's 21500. It's also a windows mobile 6.5 ROM.
Anyhow I was wondering if someone could post a zipped version of the essentials folder that works, so I don't have to reflash my ROM twice.
anyone has idea about UpToDate thing in WM6.5. Eventhough there is a workaround for Epocrates, I'm still stuck with 6.1 cos of UpToDate. Any input/suggestions wud be highly appreciated.
EDIT: I found about UpToDate in this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=499741 but u hav to cook into ur own rom... too bad ..

i have an archive of the folder and i'd upload it, but i think it contains personal information. just flash 6.1 the next time you get around to flashing an upgraded 6.5 rom.

+1 for me too... I too would prefer not having to reflash again.
My Essentials folder won't be the same as yours. It will have my preferred insurance plans, for one thing.
Clearly, this hack allows ePocrates to run. However, it doesn't address the lack of updating, which is really one of the important features of ePocrates.
Since ePocrates is the primary reason I carry a smartphone device instead of a plain phone, I'll be sticking with a 6.1 ROM for now.
epocrates and active sync
I was wondering if anyone using the work around has been able to use active sync to sync with their computer. Does it break if epocrates tries to auto-update that way through the active sync? Is there a way to turn off the epocrates auto-updater so you can active sync?
I was able to use the work around without flashing my ROM. If you still have an old phone, you can have epocrates with Windows Mobile 6.1 on THAT phone, move the essentials to the storage card. Then install epocrates on your 6.5 device with the storage card in, and it works perfectly fine for me.
But now I'm afraid to sync my phone with my computer. I NEED epocrates to function at work. I want to be able to sync as that's one of the main benefits of a windows mobile phone, but keeping epocrates has to be priority one for me.
BTW, I checked with epocrates support, and they said they intend to support 6.5; they just don't know when.
Working now!
its now working officially with wm 6.5
greets,
A couple of days ago I installed the epocrates Rx on my brand new HTC HD2 (windows mobile 6.5) thru the standard installation procedure, and thought everything was running ok, until today that I just realized it doesn't support scrolling (I have to open the keyboard and use the arrow keys -extremely cumbersome!).
Then I searched on the Epocrates site for support and found this:
Question
Does Epocrates support Windows Mobile 6.5?
Answer
Epocrates does indeed support Windows Mobile 6.5.
While installation through a computer should be in essence the same as installing to a Windows Mobile 6.1 and older device, installing directly to a wireless Windows Mobile 6.5 device is a bit different.
Open Internet Explorer on your Windows Mobile 6.5 handheld and navigate to the following web address.
http://get.epocrates.com/?action=all
Please note that "www." is not part of the above web address.
Select the "Install Now" button for "Windows Mobile 5 and later."
Please take note of where Internet Explorer prompts use to save the Epocrates installer file (Main Memory or Expansion card). It is called:
OTAUpgraderSigned.exe
Open File Explorer on your handheld and navigate to My Device, My Documents. You should see the "OTAUpgraderSigned.exe" file there. Tap on it to begin the install process.
Should you encounter difficulties, please contact Epocrates support.
Don't know if anyone already tried the above, if so, please give some feedback. Does it work?
Anyway, I'll probably give it a try later in the day. Let's see what happens.
I have tried as Lovanova tells in his messagge but it still does not work scrolling in my HTC HD2.
Sorry to tell that this way described by epocrates support doesnt work in HD2.
hmm, you re right.
Scrolling does not work on HD2.
Damn!
They could at least update their product flag ship as so little that it doesnt look like MS-Dos-crap ... they ve got good looking apps on the iphone with nice fingerscrolling ...
its so ridicilous
I'm running Windows Mobile 6.1 (a custom ROM) and I can't use a java program (like Opera Mini) like I could before using the custom rom. I think I may need a midlet manager, but I'm not sure? Is the one that comes with Windows Mobile available in a .cab or anything?
what exactly was your installation/run error that you received for the app you are trying to use?
I know that by default my AT&T Fuze with WinMo 6.1 and Java installed had a "connector.socket" permission disabled on my phone so that my Opera Mini and TSMobiles would not install (let alone run).
I found that by editing the policy.utf file in \windows\appdb and removing the single quote (comment) in front of the following instances:
"javax.microedition.io.Connector.socket"
allowed the permission to be enabled on my phone and both of those forementioned apps to install and run. Maybe your issue is similar or maybe not, but if you had the exact behavior/error when you tried to install/run someone may be of better assistance.
Hope that Helps!
to add... (and if you just need a midlet manager)... Yes they are able to be downloaded in CAB format.
Just google on download java midlet manager for windows mobile (or something of the like)... there are many to choose from. Personally I have used Esmertec's Jbed Midlet Manager, but it looks like it's no longer free :-/
can anybody help me?
Flashed my Uni with Tomals Rom: TML_V12_WM65_23089_64MB
but still running out of memory. After hard reset only 10 MB Programmemory
After installing Sktools an phone alarm only 4 MB left. Programs won't run anymore. Tried to install these Programs into ExtRom -. doesn't work.
Still installs into main memory.... no matter what i tried...
help me anybody out there?
SotB
try this
Try the cab and reboot.
Now it works
Thanks a lot,
now it works, but still i'm running out of memory, very fast. Is there no such thing like a memory manager, that is running in the Backgroud? it seems like the programs won't close, and stick in the background....
SotB
with wm5 I used wisbar advance to realy close programs. http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/products/pocketpc/WisBarAdvance/
Later in WM6 and 6.1 there was a setting to say close program when hitting the X or OK button.
Now in WM6.5 Tomal 12.1. it is preset to close the programs with X.

If you have a 64Mb device running out of memory is inevitable with WM6.5, you will be limited to what you can run and memory-hungry programs will create havoc.
