A few programs don't seem to be working anymore, when I launch copilot, I get a message saying please insert map SD card etc. When I launch ewallet, I get a message saying the file ewallet cannot be opened, either not signed with a trusted certificate or one od its components can't be found. And a few days ago all the channels I had saved in the RSS hub were gone.
The weird thing is that I can still acess the card (which I'm so far assuming is the problem) and I can see a copilot folder there. Could it be that some info got erased? I seem to recall more photos being on it, that's what got me thinking some of the info may be missing. I also can't find the mywallet file for ewallet.
Any idea what this could be and what I can do about it?
Saw various posts discussing this, none with a solution, is there nothing that can resolve this?
Getting fed up with windows mobile, and htc, think I'm going to throw in the towel and get a nokia e71 or blackberry bold
I get the same thing with RSS Hub. Its a shame too because it's a great program. Any ideas on whats causing it?
No one else has had this problem?

Hi!
New to this forum and new to the wonderful world of Windows Mobile.
Coming from a palm-world where most things just tend to work, this has been somewhat of a reminder of the early Windows desktop days.
I'm having some issues (One of these issues made me choose this forum, if this was in error, I apologize in advance).
1. Active sync worked once, but never again.
It seems the mp3-files I added (251 of them), makes active sync just time-out in the media stage. I have not found a way to remove media from active sync either to confirm this. I cannot access settings since it times out with the sync. Edit: The media-row in the active-sync window also states that the installation has to be completed first. Which it already has.
2. Media player does not add files to library.
I do the file-search and it finds 251 files on the SD-card, makes a slight paus and finds 4 more files. Then it adds only those 4 files. accessing the storage card in the library and my music only produces an unexpected error. I have not tried to empty and reformat, or a lower file-count just yet. But to me this seems like a bug that not only scans the storage-card but also the device and then only adds what's on the device. What is added is 4 ring-tones.
3. A2DP...
Well, I read the instructions on the two threads dedicated to this, but it does me no good since I find no files in either of them. I am willing to host those files for you if needed by the way. I really want A2DP since I already got the Jabra BT-620s.
4. Not a real important one but, overclocking.
I ran the OMAP_TI_Overclock thingie, but absolutely nothing changes. Still 195 Mhz whatever I do. I find people have fall-backs in a few minutes or after reset, but this is immediate. The utility says it sets the clock and that the current clock has changed, but as soon as I go to the system-info it says 195. And starting the utility again it says it set as 180 (which according to the system obviously equals 195 ).
These are the current obstacles to overcome before I turn to media-control from the headset, and other more daily handling stuff that obviously already works fine (Voice-control, and contacts and stuff)
There was something more, but I forgot. I'll return to that. Now I'm off to the golf course hoping for some good advice to start pouring in...
Best Regards

1. Buy a card-reader. They're cheap and save your nerves as AS 4.1 is EXTREMELY unstable comparing to 3.8 one
2. Dunno.
3. Try reading again. Works just fine
4. In the ABOUT info you'kk never see the change as it's not a monitor of CPU but the info contained like plain TXT. as for the program use action-set clock - and then action-exit. If you do load it before you turn Prophet off you'll see the clock is still in there
About #1:
Yes, I have several. More than I have computers actually, which is a lot!
Not that more helps in this case. I got my S200 Yesterday so I am really only starting out to get things going. This is just my initial small problems. I just find it frustrating that I cannot change what will be synced with Active sync until a sync is successfully completed, which is never. So We'll see how I solve that one...
About #4:
Is there a real system info utility around?
About #3:
I am sure it works fine. I just cannot find the needed files. They're nowhere around for download. At least not in the threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43992&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=225
And:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=275438#275438
So if you know where they are (Especially the one talked about in the first thread), please direct me towards them.
Best regards
Bo Eriksson
1. I just mean uploading thru AS WAS ALWAYS laggy and still is unles you do upload small files.
4. Why would you want one, you just see it working faster.
3. I attached both files zipped for you.
Ok, I got A2DP working now, Great, and thanks. I didn't realize the files only were visible while logged in , yup real newbie-alert .
And I installed Resco Explorer to do things more easily.
What remains is the problem with my Media library.
I cannot fathom what's going on. It's like this. I have 221 files on the storage card, and the system has 4 on the device itself. It scans both and lists 225 as found, then it takes a good 3 minutes adding files. Then it reports 4 files added. And only the library on my device shows anything (The four ringtones) trying to access the storage card library only results in an error.
Still, I can just click any of the files in the explorer and it plays perfectly (now in glorious wireless stereo!)... So there's nothing wrong with the card and the files. It's just the Library update thingy that fails me.
Best Regards
Bo Eriksson
I solved the Media Library thing.
I started deleting albums and doing new updates, but still no luck even down to one single MP3. So then I remembered something someone said in a thread somewhere about the MSMETADATA folder containing the library, so I simply removed it from the storage card and updated the library again. Voila! Now it works!
From now on I will only add a smaller number of files at a time, doing new library updates...
So now it's only the Active Sync problem remaining.
I just can't get it to work anymore. I tried reinstalling it late yesterday, but no luck...
Best Regards

I read the best news reader on PocketPC in Newsbreak.
Is there a way to synchronize it with an online newsreader ?

I've been using Newsbreak for a while now. However, SPB just released Insight. Check it out...
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/insight/screenshots.html?en
Edit:
Okay, downloaded SPB Insight. As of now, its not worth the web space it took to advertise it. As of this release, its worthless. Got it to download one fed then nothing. No Auto updates as of this release. No Today Screen plug in. Maybe in later updates but for now, stick with Newsfront.
ive tried alot of RSS readers and only use Egress now which supports a corperate firewall (for when im at work).
SBP however i tried and quite liked the display and the news item display, didnt like the interface.
the only catch with egress is the way it stores files on the SD card it can cause the card to have file system problems. to overcome this i carry 2 cards with me now one for news and one for everything else
Seeking A Different Kind of RSS reader
I would like an RSS reader that
1. Stores everything, including program, on the SD card
2. Has a setting to "download ONLY and AUTOMATICALLY" by activesync, to avoid roaming charges when I travel
3. will preload images
4. has no advertising (paid program ok)
5. renders HTML (I couldn't get NPOP to do this)
I like Newsbreak OK, but it fails 2 and 3. I have it set to download by activesync using a skschema program, but it still doesn't preload images. Avantgo doesn't like the sd card and has advertising. It isn't a good rss reader anyway. I want to be able to read the thing when I can't (airplanes) or don't want to (traveling abroad at $15/MB) connect to the web.
If one meeting these criteria has come into existence, I would like to know about it.
I'm pretty sure SPB Insight meets all your requirements.
I'm using Insight alongside with newsbreak. I like Insight a lot more but it keeps freezing and causing my device to freeze sometimes. I haven't gone through all the settings options of newsbreak yet, but right now it doesn't download images and it only downloads a paragraph of the feeds.
hey Egress has the option to download or not to download images, stores all the news items on sd card or internal memory and can support proxy for use via activesync.
only thing is it will only include a paragraph or a few lines of text for the news items.
It there a way to have all your rss feeds stored in one single location and then access to it from your PocketPC, and online from a Web browser without having to reenter all your feeds ?

Perhaps it's just me but I have not found a way to get Insight to download more than 3 lines from most RSS feeds. This is annoying as it means for a lot of the feeds, such as Vertikal and BBC I can only see the first bit of the information!!!
NewsGator.com anyone? (or .co.uk, my logon works on both versions of the site and personally, the .co.uk version is a little less cluttered) They do a mobile aggregator too.
More online aggregators, information:

I was having that issue with some feeds using Insight, but then i went to the support forum and theres this guy there whos good at coding and told me that the feeds that only bring u a couple lines aren't optimized for Insight, you have to edit the feed file and it'll work great. He helped me out with several feeds and he's got a tutorial on how to do it yourself but i'm not good at code at all so that tutorial was confusing to me. Check out that forum here
Also, before i recommend spb insight to anyone, i'd say be careful. I've had the program corrupt my miniSD card 3 times now. You have to be patient with it. If you have a lot of feeds (i had 50 something in my case) it may look like its frozen but its not. And my impatient dumbass soft reset the device and since its writing to the card; POOF unrecognizeable. I had to format then use GetDataBack to recover all lost data from card, copy paste over and I was back in action.
Yep, yet again i'm suffering because i've purchased legal software ....
OK so, I purchased route 66 for use on my G900. I couldn't get it installed as I kept getting the message
at least one file is missing. please install the application again

Eventually someone gave me a linked to a hacked copy and guess what? It worked. thats 1 nil to pirated software.
I replaced my G900 and sadly lost its memory card (so im unable to just copy it over). So now, again, I try the software CD and get the same message above ... shock! Only this time, i don't have a hacked copy to revert back to.
Before you all shout ... "USE THE SEARCH!" here are some answers that i've found whilst looking through forum search:
move the maps to the memory card - done. Infact, done by the software.
wipe the card (well its a Diamond so, sort of) - done
reinstall - done, several times
Sadly, as I can't launch it, I can't tell you exactly which version I have - only that its R66 Navigator 7.
Any ideas how I can get rid of this crappy message and use software i've been stupid enough to pay for?
anyone, please? i'm desperate....
Having done a LOT of googling, I've seen this is a common problem for many many WM Devices.
I spent the weekend at a festival, so got home and tried uploading my pics and videos.... but I cant!! Having tried on 2 PCs (home, XP, Activesync 4.5, Work, Vista, WMDC) on the XP machine I get a failed to sync error, and on the vista machine I get the most pathetic error message I have ever seen, EVER!!! The error message is: "Error". Well duh!!
So i've tried to go to add/remove programs, having had this problem before, and there is nothing in the list. So i cant remove any programs. I've tried to copy my pics/vids to my storage card, access is denied. Ive managed to upload my pics to facebook, but unfortunately cant do the same with my vids.
I have tried to delete an unrelated file, access denied.
SO I've googled the problem, and 2 fixes have been found:
Microsoft Support said: Hard reset device. (useful bunch, arent they??)
End-user gave a MSWord resolution, which worked for about 80% of people but not me, and quite a few others. The Word sollution doesnt look practical, I must say.
a LOT of people say they have experienced this after using Twikini... I dont use that, but I DO use TweetToday, or TodayTweet, whatever it's called.
Sorry if I come across a bit raged, I'm just so p**d off with MS after I was using Symbian for YEEEARS, moved to WinMo and have had months and months of dissapointment, only now to loose some of those memories that should be treasured. I refuse to do a hard reset, this is NOT a valid sollution. I have enough of that problem when my phone hard resets itself as it is!
I remember someone posting a fix to this, after the last time I had the problem, unfortunately it was too late, and i'd already hard reset by that stage. It was some kinda registry edit.... as I have CERegEditor I was hoping to find it, but having googled it, I cant Does anyone know where that is, or remember/know what the registry fix is?
Sorry about the rant, I really am
I just purchased an HTC Titan with mango. This device is incredible but I have a problem when I put a lot of data on it.
Initialy the Titan has 11.5 GB of free space. When I sync it (on Mac OS) with more than ~7.5 GB, the device reboots then the Windows Live and Google profiles (mail) are lost. After that I'm unable to recreate the Live account so I have to format it.
The shop told me that it was because I synchronised it with WP7 Connector on Mac OS. After a couple of days, the guy accepted to replace the faulty device with a new one.
So, I plugged my new Titan on my Windows 7 computer and I had the same problem.
The titan has been updated with the version 7740.16
Anyone of you has an idea to help me ?
I have a Titan which is constantly full of various media and other rubbish. I mean totally full, with 0Mb available (e.g. I have to remove podcasts manually to create space for new editions and often have a queue waiting).
I don't however have your problem. I use Zune on Windows 7 to sync.
Why don't you try syncing on a Windows machine to test whether Mac is a factor with this problem?
@nobut,
I sync my new device exclusively with Windows and I have the same problem. I did a lot of tests and the problem is not a specific file.
In that case all I can think is that it could be a setting on either your device, or in Zune which causes this.
Can you replicate the problem? I mean if you remove all of the files from your device, does this lack of functionality return? If the answer is yes, then there is a problem with your device. If the answer is no, then I honestly have no idea, but this is a weird problem which appears to happen only during, or after the syncing process... hence my thoughts about a setting which is causing the trouble.
It makes no sense to me though.
Yes, I'm able to replicate problem. I also tried to restore it to factory default.
I don't understand why I had this issue on 2 different devices with 2 different OS (Mac and 7).
So, the most logical answer is: the content I put in the device is the problem.
But it sounds crazy as the device doesn't crash every time on the same content.
That is one annoying problem. I can't think of anything you could try other than turning off sync altogether and moving stuff manually using Zune.
I sync stuff manually and subscribe to podcasts from the device, rather than from Zune. I haven't suffered your problem, but I didn't have this problem when I used to allow automatic syncing either.
I had a confirmation from HTC that this kind of problem exists for Mac Users. As my files are shared on a NAS, maybe my stuff is the problem because of the Mac OS hidden files. Anyway, thanx for your help

mmm, no. a file is a file is a file. if other devices can handle it, your phone should too. pushing 4Gb, 8Gb, or 200Gb should not make the phone restart, ever, no matter where the files come from.
@ohgood, I know that an I totally agree. But as the HTC guy told me, it's an unidentified bug with mac on the titan and I'm not the only one to have it.
