SMTP send bug on WM6 identified - General Topics

Matt of "Tracy and Matt's Blog" (http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk) has diagnosed what has to be one of the most annoying bugs ever: Windows Mobile 6.1 (and 6.0 IIRC) Pocket Outlook would suddenly stop being able to send messages via SMTP independent of network connection:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Turns out any bad SMTP session will cause the problem with the only workaround being to delete and add the account.
Matt's excellent blog entry on this is here: http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/index.php/2008/09/18/windows-mobile-6-1-smtp-issues
Kudos to Matt for the level of effort. I couldn't be without my Tilt to get MS to fix a bug! Apparently a CAB fix is imminent, I await with baited breath...

Thanks for the link! This problem has infuriated me.

Thanks! Hope I get a complete description of the problem so that I can fix it. (See my comment in the original post)

I'll try to fix it as soon as I find the right guy at MS. (The article doesn't have any info in this regard - as opposed to my, similar reports and articles, it doesn't point out exactly WHAT - for example WinCE DB - is messed up.)

You might want to email Matt instead, introduce your MVP self, and ask nicely who he's been dealing with at MS? ;-)
I'm just glad it's finally been diagnosed and confirmed. It was driving me nuts trying to figure out what the trigger was. I didn't put 2 and 3 together. A fix would be nice, and an especially welcome addition to the chef's "must have" list.

Speaks for itself I think. I told them about all you geniuses here and invited them to check out the site. Hopefully something incredible will come of this...
i saw this a few days ago and it looks like it's going to be very interesting. i'm going to try it out because i hate having to use a stylus
Alot of what they are trying to accomplish has been done already via WAD and Mortscript.
Do not get your hopes up.
- You can not register in the forums since no activation mails are being sent out.
- If you report this to the only e-mail address I have found on the page you will get no reply.
- If you try to get in contact with the persons behind the project and the homepage you will get no reply
- No one is answering the comments made on the page
- No betaversions has been published as far as I understand it, only screenshots
This does not mean that I think that the whole thing is a scam or anything like that - just that for a project that is actively seeking betatesters they for sure are making it hard (impossible) for people to actually getting involved. Not to mention the fact how they handle bugreports for their own homepage.
I had no problems registering in the forums there, and the creators answered some technical questions yesterday. This project is very young, looks like it was only started this month. Give it some time, and if they decide to check this site out, I hope it can lead to a good thing and not have them be put off by scorn and doubt.
i had no problems registering either; i do not beleive it is a scam, they did not say they are going to charge people for the software/application.
Congrats! Inform the ones running the show then that many visitors have not been able to register since they do not reply to any e-mail or provide with any information as on why things are not working. And no, this is not just me - check the comments - there are a large number of people not being able to register.
And in my book - any project that does not respond to bugreports is in trouble.
Very awesome! I can't wait until its final release, thanks for sharing!

I tried using the files in that post before and it screwed up my entire TF3d which forced me to do hard reset. I made a thread about this before and haven't found an answer.

Do you have a grumpiness problem, man, RELAX! It's funny, and sad at how brave people become behind a keyboard, and talk in ways that nobody would tolerate in real life.

I WAS NOT BEING GRUMPY, I was simply saying SEARCH, because this has been covered. And the flamed trophy was a joke.
I probably should've said this in my first post, but I did use the forum search. The solution that I found didn't work for me, so I made the thread to see if anybody had found an alternative.
man, there's no alternative, it simply works like it's described in that thread...
and next time when something crashes, just delete those files and they will be replaced after soft reset automaticaly
Either way it doesn't work if you don't use a flip clock or analog clock.

NO NEED TO YELL, thanks Now calm down, you're going to blow an artery or something.

A few things I found...

Decided to take a crack (lol pun intended ) at a couple of things the other night, and stumbled across something interesting - HTC's internal bidding system.
And what I've found are parts that they are buying for whatever models of phones they're working on/thinking about working on. I saw parts for an HTC Touch Pro from 2005, parts from the HTC Magic from 2006, etc.. Well, I found parts, as of the other day, for the 'HTC Incredible', so, they must be working on it.
Also, I found reference to xda-developers.com inside of an actual bidding-slip for reference to the models that they had listed - I thought that was pretty damn cool.
I've highlighted different model names and such, and the reasoning I pointed out the Bahamas and the Memphis are so you can see that the models are not always only listed on the right-side of the screen, too.
Here are some screenshots for you all:

Just wanted to bring this thread back up, because now the HTC Incredible is official, and is being released on Verizon.
I wonder what phones I could find info. on if I were to look now?
Just found some more models to wonder about.

Alphabet in music library

Hello,
I'm wondering if this would be possible..
In the people tab you have this nice alphabet at the side of the screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Why is there not such a search think in the music tab / library?
If someone can make this for me / us.. I will donate
Now when i want a song that start with the Z in need to scroll all the way down.. and that takes too long
I also send HTC a email about this
Nobody?
Yeah i agree, this would be very useful. Going through the tracklist at the moment is a pain.
Anyone have any ideas ?
I have a response from HTC in Dutch
They said it would maybe get solved in WM6.5
And the guy said he has send the request to the developers of HTC.
I send him a email back with the message WM6.5 won't solve it because it's a problem in TF3D.
And now i'm waiting for a response back
ill also donate a little bit. if it works.

Nice
Too bad i don't know how this stuff works.. so i can't give it a try
But if there are any developers who would like to help us.. We will donate
I would also like to see this implemented!
i have lots of MP3 on my Topaz, in TF3D it takes about 10-15 seconds until it shows up (I guess because of the album pictures).
If I want to browse through the tracks it takes a lot of time to get to the Letter where I want to go.
This would be great!
I'm having the problem too that it's shows up really late..
And i asked HTC if they could make a .cab file for it..
They only sad they had send it again to the developers
So probably no cab file but maybe in the new manila versions
I hope they can do it
EDIT: I've send a email back and waiting for a response at the moment
This feature would be awesome. It should be standard in every list in TF3D.
New response from HTC...
They don't know sure it there is coming a cab file or it will be build in the new roms...
They only know that the guy has send a request to the developers..
So maybe a developer here can make a cab file for us?

Aviation Software (avitation weather/aviation calculator)?

Hi guys, I´m looking for some aviation software, espacially a weather program that shows METAR, TAF and SPECI weather reports of aerodromes by the ICAO location indicator codes.
Additionally I´m looking for an aviation calculator, some kinda E6B thing or so...
Concerning the weather thing it might be also easy for a skilled programmer to create a little app, because you can grap the necessary weather information easily by the web. There are certain sites like
weather.noaa.gov/weather/coded.html
or
de.allmetsat.com/metar-taf/index.html
and several others (via google)
that offer the needed weather information...
Regards,
insi
I want this too, plenty apps available for iphone...
Plz
Can someone plz make an apps for this service - I really need one.....
Is this something you would pay for/there is a market for?
Also where does this information come from? Can it be easily syndicated?
Let me know and I might be able to cook something up (though it may take a little while).
I would give $10,- for an aviation weather-app!
Google is your friend. Search for WXSYS That prog should do it.
Yes, it looks good.
However, after entering my e-mail address, I still can not send any query.
It does not work for me.
No problem on my HD2 with EDDF. It even gave me satellite images
there is definately a market for that ;-) And I would pay for this kinda app - I think I would pay up to 40 Euro for it.
I know wxsys very well but for german aerodromes, especially the smaller ones it is quite bad...
regards, insi
Hrm,
Ok, maybe I need to canvas an aviation forum to see what kind of response I get.
This is something I might be interested in developing but it might take a little while. I'll keep you posted.
Something similar to aeroweather on the iphone would be great.. Count me in and my $10!! flyingmarvo
Maybe you could have a look at SBSH PocketWeather. It includes METAR aso. Using it for quite a long time. Don't know if that's the right thing for you - maybe a beginning...
After migrating from an iPhone, i am desperately waiting for something along the lines of PilotWizz.
It was great for Calculations, and decodes the latest weather (TAFs and METARs) for easy and simple viewing.
TBH im fairly disappointed with whats on offer on WM in general....hope someone is able to sort something out!!!
I´ve been using the program that´s been said before with good results for Europe:

I´ve been searching for a snowtam program but without succes too..
Does anybody know a program to log flighttime (with a/c registration, callsign, flighttime, date of flight if possible)?
