Hey everyone,
I am a newly transitioned Smartphone user (from Windows Mobile Professional), and I'm loving every bit of it thus far. Back on my Wizard, when I would run Java programs, I would be able to use multiple Java programs at one time. For example, if I were running both Opera Mini and Gmail, when I clicked on the Midlet Manager, it would take me to a screen where I can choose between which program I want to go into.
So, much to my chagrin, after having tried different midlet managers on the smartphone, it seems as though I can only run one program at a time. Whenever I go to open the program, it brings me straight to whatever program is currently running. Is there any way around this? I am trying to use some sort of instant messaging program at the same time as Opera Mini, yet it seems as though I am not able to do so. I am currently using the Pantech Duo with WM6.1, if this is at all relevant.
Please help!
Thanks in advance,
- Mark

i have a few fave programs that ran fine prior to installing wm6. now these apps seem to want to work, but end up hanging rather than opening and running. i am not a software wiz...so is this an issue with the programs not being able to run a super new os (x- plore 1.1), or is it with wm6 itself? the main one i'd like to get running is a meditation program called pocket natura. when i run it, the page goes white as if the program main screen wants to load...then it stays white. i need to close it out (if it lets me) or soft-reset. i would love to know if this is the wm6 or if it is just these certain apps not being able to run on wm6.
any info and/or tips would be most appreciated.
I have not run into any trouble with any apps on wm6. I am running faria's wm6 rom. But, just because i have not had any trouble does not mean that it is the same for all.
well i have uninstalled 1.1, and installed faria's...still i could not get those few apps to run. so next i installed the wm5 superrom, and without incident, those apps ran. so i am assuming that either the wm6 roms have an unknown glitch regarding third party programs, or i managed to find the few programs that are just too damned stubborn to run in wm6!!
thoughts on this?
i really liked the 2 wm6 roms i tried out, but i REALLY like the couple of third party apps that don't seem to want to run in wm6. is there any way of getting around this, or am i doomed to run wm5 or give up my fave apps to run wm6???
as always, thank you for your responses and insight/help.
I love the phone in many aspects, but problems have arisen when backing up info in 8 gig storage card, and restoing. I used opera 9.5 beta, and had the phone lock up, give voice command errors, and then could not access any email, unless a hard set after trying the restore program. I tried opera mini, as it can help with my online banking, but I could not down load the whole program. I am asking for expertise on using a good browser besides IE, or advise on how to load opera mini 4. Where am I going wrong. One more thing, upon doing a restore, it will double up on programs in menu's, and I could not add or removed items from menu's. Tired of the hard resets

Hi, I have moved from HTC Tornado to Samsung i600 (with WM6), and I think that it kills background applications very eagerly:
For example, on HTC Tornado I could run JVM (opera mini), media player, browser, IM, Total commander and even though the memory was almost full, everything worked, and I could return to a page in opera mini after a day of other work.
Not so on i600, usually running WMP and IE is enough to get JVM in background killed, even though there's enough (12MB+) of free RAM. I think that it kills background tasks too eagerly...
I did know about a registry key that changes memory manager's behaviour, but I cannot google it (no matter the phrase I use, I get mostly task-manager tools).
Can you remind me of correct registry path? Thanks!
I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=228 , but it is only for HTC devices (I don't have the HTC reg key). And http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=373128 discusses this as well, but again, no solution for non-HTC phones.
Wohoo, it should be this: http://www.howardforums.com/archive/topic/540062-1.html
Trying to make the best of both worlds, I decided that perhaps the MPx220 is worth taking another look at if the memory management issue could be resolved. After all, with Media Works, I want to keep Agile Messenger open all day to receive IMs, while using the phone, surfing, playing games, etc.
Then, it dawned on me - why is the Audiovox SMT5600 with an apparently older revision of WM2K3 running things better than the newer MPx220?
A couple of registry keys.
MPx220:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\LowMem ]
"ResetDivision"=dword:1
"ProgramMem"=dword:32
SMT5600:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\LowMem ]
"ResetDivision"=dword:0
"ProgramMem"=dword:96
After forcing in the SMT5600 settings on the MPx220, I ran Agile Messenger and connected. Then, I ran Internet Explorer. Launched Agile again, and same copy of Agile still came back, still connected. Launched MSN Messenger. Launched Agile again, still accessible and running. Launched Tasks, Contacts, Calendar, File Manager, Resource Management. Returned to Agile Messenger, still running! With all these programs running simultaneously, Agile Messenger is still active and connected!
With the original registry settings, Agile Messenger would get lost in the memory and a new instance of Agile Messenger would launch, and not be able to connect because the original copy was still connected.

I'd be happy if I had those registry entries... but I don't. Did it really work?
Yes, it works, now I can have many apps open, and even with 2MB of free RAM, none will be closed. If you don't have the keys, try creating them, as far as I know, it should work on at least all smartphones (maybe touchscreen devices as well but I don't have one to test)
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 :-/
Just got a new Intermec N50 from work, wich runs Windows Mobile 6.1.
Now the thing is, the it guys have installed a program called Odyssey AppCenter. This program wont allow any other programs to run other than the ones they have defined. (IE, calc, clock, wireless manager, power, screen and a work program). I can download and install programs. Even run them through IE (file:///program%20files/folder/file.exe) But they are closed almost instantly by Odyssey. I was thinking about a cmd kill file wich would kill the odyssey program. Any help appriciated
