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
There are certain good programs that I would like to use, but I have a Treo 750 and they need 320x240 resolution in order to work. I was wondering if someone knows of a WM5 emulator that I could run on desktop and install those programs on that and run them right on my PC screen....
Any body???

Hi,
So, you want a WM5/6 emulator on Windows XP/Vista, right?
If so, Microsoft has a free one
Google for "microsoft device emulator". Download the 2.0 final version not the 1.0 or the 2.0 beta.
You will need to download the WM5 image as well from them.
Thanks.

Thanks buddy for guiding... I downloaded the emulator from Microsoft... I searched for Emulator images and I got result for WM5.0 also,,, but on the given list of possible download files, there is no English version. Could you please tell which one should I download...
Thanks for directing me....
Microsoft... I downloaded all through Microsoft....
There are many guides available teaching how to setup and use the Device Emulator.
As far as I can remember, the name of the image is efp.msi or similar.
yeah this is good, and if you want to see your connected device as it looks on your device and use it on your pc as if you were doing so on your pocket pc, use 'my mobiler' its freeware and easily available
Thanks for leading me this far. I got emulator to load up and all is going fine except I cant figure out how to transfer cab files to the emulator to install and how to make internet to work on the emulator. I want to test my website how it loads on the PDA's and use some softwares......
I hope you managed to transfer cab (& other) files to the emulator.
If you have not succeeded do the following:
1. Install Activesync (4.x) on PC where Emulator is running.
2. Configure ActiveSync on PC to use DMA for syncing.
3. Configure ActiveSync on Emulator to use DMA (it should be DMA anyways).
4. Open Device Emulator Manager.
5. Start the Image.
6. In the device manager click refresh if you don't see the emulated device.
7. Right click on the emulated device Emulator Device Manager and click cradle.
8. This will simulate cradling the device.
9. Now ActiveSync on both sides should be connected and then you could explore the emulated directories from activesync.

Hello Guys,
I recently contacted the LogMeIn Mobile support team and there are lots of people here which has problems using Logmein with your phone. Here is their reply:

Hello,
You can use a Windows Mobile device to connect to your LogMeIn computer.
Device requirements:
Windows Mobile 5/6/6.1
Touch Screen
ARM CPU
You must use Pocket Internet Explorer as third party browsers are not compatible with the LogMeIn Remote Control plug-in. You must also use the generic Windows Mobile keyboard, as specialized software keyboards may not transmit characters correctly.
Successfully tested devices:
Model
Also Known As
HTC Apache
PPC-6700, XV6700
HTC Mogul
PPC-6800, XV6800, P4000
HTC Touch
XV6900, P3450
HTC Touch Diamond
PPC-6950
HTC Touch Pro*
Fuze, P6500
HTC TyTN
Hermes, 8525
HTC TyTN II
Kaiser, Tilt, 8925
HTC Wing

Palm Treo 700wx
LG Incite CT810
Samsung Epix i907
Samsung Omnia i910
Samsung Saga SCH-i770
Samsung SCH-i760
Samsung SGH-i830
Note: If you're unable to use your HTC Touch Pro's keyboard during a remote control session, this is due to a key mapping problem brought upon by the device's eT9 text prediction software. While we do not directly support this, you can find other users' best practices and workarounds on the LogMeIn Community http://community.logmein.com.
Also, we have discovered an issue when connecting to a LogMeIn computer using a mobile device running Windows Mobile 6.1.4 / 6.5 and IE6 Mobile. Currently, it is NOT possible to connect with these devices due to incompatibility with the plug-in.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.

Oops, okay.
So have they fixed this yet?
LogMeIN IE6/8 workaround
I have found a work around there is an ap called I.E. Toggle I got from PPCGeeks.com that allows you to switch back to Pocket IE from IE6. This is a great tool and use it just for this, best of all you dont need to soft reset it does it on the fly.

No joy in Win Mobile 6.5
I had logmein working nicely in win mobile 6.1 using IE Toggle, unfortunately having upgraded to 6.5 it no longer works.
When I log into logmein using PIE it directs me to download and install the RACtrlCE plugin but when I go to the link it downloads RACtrlCE.tsk (which does nothing useful) rather than RACtrlCE.cab like it used to. I tried installing it from a cab I had but that didn't work either so after searching around I ended up here. I guess logmein and 6.5 is still a no go, I have contacted logmein support to ask if they have an eta on a fix.
I really wish they'd just do a stand alone app for windows mobile, it would be so much easier.
I was actaully able to run logmein using IE toggle and a cooked rom on my TP2 using WM 6.5.1 (one of the *energy* roms). Although I just re-flashed to another rom that was more stable overall running WM 6.5 and now encounter the same problem described above. I am directed to the .tsk instead of .cab for the plugin, which does nothing...

wow. thank you. logmein finally works on my samsung saga. i am however very dissapointed in the support from logmein. i had an email chain with their support dept about the issue with windows mobile 6.1 . First they said it works, then i finally got them to achnoledge that logmein has an issue with wm 6.1 . After that they would not even respond to my emails. I would ask them when they expected a fix and no answer at all.
i wish there was an alternative to logmein other than rdp or others that require port forwarding .
I've now found that if you rename the downloaded RACtrlCE.tsk file to RACtrlCE.cab it will install and then logmein will work using IE toggle. Hope that helps you out.
I got logmein to work on my TP2 WM65. I installed PIE
Rebooted the device.
Then installed IE Toggle
Launched IE Toggle and selected Pocket IE and went to logmein
Logged in installed the plug in and it worked.
Sorry if this was posted previously.

Spoke to soon, there is an issue with it that I could not fix. After loading these cabs Logmein did indeed work.
However the changes caused my TP2 to not be able to display text conversations. You click on a text message and it would display the keyboard and say one conversation selected but you were still seeing the default list of texts, you couldn't see what you were typing? SMS messaging still worked but you couldn't use the default conversations lists.
I have since removed all the cabs for logmein and SMS messages are displaying perfectly again?
This cab breaks the text messaging, it seems: XDA WM 6.1 P.I.E For WM6.CAB.
I'm able to get everything working if I don't install that cab. My only issue is that the key mapping with KforTouchPro_v1.0.0.3.CAB (which I believe is needed also) isn't quite perfect, from what I can tell.
SOLUTION - this works
Heres a solution for those of you who have been finding that logmein wants to download RACtrlCE.cab file to install on your phone and that this doesnt seem to do anything, it wont install. Heres why. Youll love this, its actually quite simple.
When the file downloads it says its a cab file, which should by all rights install, however on my phone it brings up the "Windows Mobile Today" which allows you to select backgrounds/screensavers for your mobile. Why? Its because when it saved the file it put a hidden .tsk on the end a on windows mobile file name extensions like .tsk .jpg .avi etc are hidden from you so all you get is the name of the file but not its .jpg bit so "john.jpg" becomes just "john"... its named the file RACtrlCE.cab.tsk but your mobile doesnt show you this file name is says its a .cab so this is why it doesnt fire up.
So what you need to do is rename the RACtrlCE.cab.tsk back to RACtrlCE.cab and it will run.
2 WAYS TO DO THIS....
Sync your device on your pc or mac and use "explore" to get in to your mobile folders from your computer and find RACtrlCE.cab.tsk and on a PC it will show the needed .tsk bit
**(provided your PC views mode isnt set to hide filetypes - if it is go to windows explorer on pc, tools menu at the top of screen, folder options, and untick "hide extensions for known file types". If your on Win7 youl find the folder options in CONTROL PANEL... does the same thing)**
Right so now you can see your RACtrlCE.cab.tsk and youve renamed it RACtrlCE.cab unhook the phone from pc and go to the folder where RACtrlCE.cab is and click it and hey presto, it installs perfectly.
Now the next bit is to use the IE6 toggle software if your getting problems and this will allow you to switch from IE6mobile to PocketIE6 which can run the logmein application. (IE6 toggle page is listed earlier in this same thread
METHOD2:
Oh yes if you want to do this renaming of the file on your phone without PC connected, "File Explorer" wont show you the .tsk bit on the end, its hidden and always will be because "file explorer" is dumbed down. What you need is a tool called "total commander" which I think is free (?). Install this and its a powerful file explorer which does show you the .tsk bit which you can easily rename to just .cab and then you can double click the file RACtrlCE.cab in total commander and hey presto the .cab installs.
Hopefully this fix will blow you away.
This was done on a HTC Touch HD2 phone with original T-Mobile ROM unlocked and put on to the latest generic HTC official ROM.

disculpa pero quise instalar el IE Toggle 1.1 me marcar error como le puedo hacer para se pueda instalar en realidad ocupo instalar logmein por favor díganme
System.Data.SqlServerCe, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=3BE235DF1C8D2AD3', or one of its dependencies, was not found.
This error is plaguing my PDA. I have an HP iPAQ 111 Clasic with .net compact framework 3.5, 2.0, and (on my installed programs roster) one called simply '.NET CF'. also installed is VB Runtime For PPC.
I have been using Comic Reader mobile for some time. One day, one of my runtime components decided to 'uninstall' itself. Many programs wouldnt run. i reinstalled the afore mentioned program environments. All the programs dependant on .NET worked fine again exept for Comic Reader Mobile. I wrote it off as a minor irritation. Since then i installed Scilors Drivers licence Trainer. After instalation, SciLors displayed the same error. THis is a great irritation to me. I want my PDA running properly without Hard Reseting it. Does anyone have any sugestions/Fixes?
Thanks in advance

it's complaining about not finding
sql server compact
if you didn't install that it can't use sdf databases
which it seems the program use
Now for the newb questons. Where do i get SQL server compact? How do i install it? Is it a normal .cab/.exe install or do i have to extract data and place it myself? Im glad that this makes sence to someone, but what EXACTLY is the resolution?
pretty sure when you download it at ms it's msi but it could be exe if i'm wrong
in both cases it's installed by running the msi or exe on the pc while the pda is connected
then it installs
For the life of me, i cant find the installer on MS website. Can you direct/Link me?
http://www.google.dk/search?source=...oogle-søgning&meta=lr=&aq=6&oq=sql+server+com
Thanks for your help. Its working fine now. I also found out that Scilors is in German.... oh well.
Hi. Is it possible to take a program off of one Windows Mobile phone and set it up to work on another? What I want to do is take the latest version of Oz Messenger on my Dash 3g, and put it on a Dash I have running WinMo 6.5. I can't get any of the other Oz Messenger cab files that are on here to work. They work, but they give me a connection error. So I want to get the newest version and try it. Thanks for any help. I've been looking through these forums and others for about 12 hours now, so please don't assume I haven't.
depend on the program in some cases it's enough to copy the exe file
others the install dir
yet others require registry changes and various dlls from \windows and ...
