Hi,
I am a new joinee to this forum...So far the information provided has been fantastic on this site.
My current mobile is HTC Touch Diamond 2
I stay in London and today I downloaded BBC iPlayer from our forum.
Though it got installed perfectly, its been throwing up an error which describes that my mobile does not have the latest .NET version!
Can you please help me get the latest release and also the steps to follow.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!
Cheers,
Gunns
on the upper bar
there is a search tool type inside "netCF 3.5" and download the cab install it on device and you are good to go.
If you want to get 3.5 from Microsoft's own site, go to
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...49-3C6B-42F1-9FD9-0041345B3385&displaylang=en
Connect your device via Activesync, and run the .msi file on your PC
The program \WINDOWS\CGAUTIL.EXE on your PPC/Smartphone pops up a window which shows which versions of the .NET CF you have installed.
They are 'supposed' to be backwardly compatable, ie a .NET CF 1.1 program should run under a .NET CF 3.5 runtime. Most times they are, whether or not depends on too many variable ifs and buts, to go into here.
thanks a ton guys...
Finally got the BBC iPlayer going but I dont know why it crashes everytime I start it...
Can you please explain that?

i have followed these links before but NONE of them say that they will work on xda2 running the windows MOBILE O/S and on internet explrer version that xda2 users r stuck with.
they say they wrk on windows ce but not mobile.

The Ewesoft program is VERY confusing.
And as far as i can tell, it didnt work.
I've been looking for some kind of Java that will allow me to run Java applets off of website (like jIRC).
Right now I'm looking at CrEme, which looks like its what I need. But I think I'll have to buy it (i really dont care at this point )

JAVA FOR XDA2
AHA!! I KNEW IT... ALL THESE "EXPERTS" CLAIMING TO HAVE A SOLUTION AND PASTING LINKS IN HERE,... AND YET THEY HAVNT FRIGGIN TRIED THE MEDICINE THEM SELVES ON THE XDA2 !!! ARGH!!!
THAT TICKS ME OFF SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!! :>(
IM SO MAD I WANNA EAT MY CRT MONITOR!!! GRRRAAAAAA!!!!
HAS ANYBODY FRIGGIN GOT THEIR JAVA APPLETS RUNNING ON XDA 2 YET OR NOT!??!
PLEAAAAASE TELL ME... IF YOU HAVE, ILL KISS YOU, (if youre a supermodel) AND MARRY U.
I downloaded a copy of Netfront 3 which comes bundled with JVLite2. I havent really used applets with it (except for the 2 games and the calculator that comes with it) but it's been amazingly compatible with full blown Java based chat systems (with multiple resizable windows) when launhced through the Netfront browser. As for the midlet thing that comes with the phone I havent got it to work with anything, I can select the setup option then nothing happens.
Make sure you have ROM 1.60 or later if you're on an XDA 2 because I found that the Java program just disappears in some complex apps with anything older. Also be wary of using Java chat rooms on the train, if u go in a tunnel the Java program will freeze up and wont close, even with special task manager programs on the phone! :lol:

JVM FOR XDA2
aha! a real lead this time!
hey buddy, run icq applet at
http://go.icq.com
PLEASE TELL ME IF IT WORKS!
so that i don't have to risk 30 us dollars.
many thanks in advance!
if it doesn't work can u try a java website like net banking sites?
il be eagerly waiting ur feedback on the results
Dave
well i installed and used ewe compiled an old java program i wrote years agoe just to try it out and it ran just fine
it was no applet and had no gui
but it ran all the same
as for running java in a browser then i havent come across a plugin for IE maybe some of the other browsers have it maybe when opera comes to town it will have a plugin
p.s. writing with capital letters mean that you are shouting which is normal when one is fustrated but you have normal letters in the middle
which is "talking" normaly would be pretty fun irl mixing shouts and normal talk
opera? she makes browsers?!
that black female (barely) talk show host that cant make up her to stay either fat or thin makes browsers?
will it work for xda2?
how many browsers in total currently work on xda2
and is it possible 2 upgrade the version of ie that comes with xda2? say 2 version 6?
dude who got java working on xda2 for irc... still waiting 4 ur results on go.icq.com applet.
DAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://dailywireless.org/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2996&src=rss09
it's for smartphone but will prob come for pocketpc aswell
http://www.pdabuyersguide.com/software/internet_thunderhawk.htm
and another
how many browser project there really are is a question only google knows
if one can upgrade an ie on a pda depend on if it's located in rom and if it let other files shadow those files
but has anyone actually tried to run an applet on an xda2 with another browser yet?
so far evryone has theoretical ideas but would love to hear success stories on how the got their xda2 to run full grapgical applets. such as http://go.icq.com.
JAVA SUCCESS FOR XDA 2 !!
SUCCESS!!!
THE NET FRONT LEAD WAS SOLID! Thanks whoever sent that link!
I CAN NOW RUN FULL JAVA APPLETS ON THE XDA 2 WITH THE NETFRONT 3.1 BROWSER THAT COMES WITH A JAVA PLUGIN THAT YOU HAVE TO MANUALY ENABLE IN THE SETTINGS OF THE BROWSER PLUGIN SETTING.
YOU CAN EVEN SAVE IMAGES FROM THE WEB!! A FEATURE IE DOES NOT SUPPORT IN XDA 2.
Get it from

Hey guys!
First I'd really like appericiate the work going around regarding the WM2003SE.
I am running the 1.72WWE on my xdaII and i read somewhere that if a cab of the wmp10 can be obtained then it can be installed on the 1.72WWE or any other wm2003 Rom for that matter by adopting the following procedure. I am posting this method as food for thought for all the geniuses around.
1. Run WMP setup
2. When error message scolding you for running an obsolete (e.g., more than two weeks old) PPC comes up LEAVE that dialog where it is
3. Go to your temp directory and make a copy of the WMP cab file
4. click OK or close or whatever the "buy a new PocketPC" nag screen dialog has
5. Copy CAB file to your PPC
6. Double-click it
7. Soft-reset (reboot) your PPC. Now you have WMP10 installed."
So if somone has the wmp 10 installer let us have it boys maybe we can give it a go.
The Dell Axim 30 has released an upgrade to WM2003SE (Can't imagine why O2 won't follow suit) and in the installer is the WMP10 anyways its a roughly 33MB download and i know the same can be done from 2.20 CHS the translated ver by buzz_lighyear (Keep at it buzz ur getting closer) but still someone may find it useful anyways here is the link

I have just bought an Alpine (xda 2i) to upgrade from my himalaya. I really really need to use it to trade on the fx market... which involves me being able to load one applet.
The applet is located here: https://fx1.oanda.com/java/beta.html
I have tried netfront... and after days of trying to find out why this applet does not load even though other applets do, i found out that the java plugin for netfront does not support applets over https.
I tried with thunderhawk too... no success there either, even though they claim that their browser loads applets just as a normal desktop pc.
If anyone can help me load the trading applet on my xda 2i, ill give you a big sloppy kiss!
On another note, while wardriving when a new network comes into site, i get a popup asking if i want to connect and if its for 'work' or 'internet'. I keep having to press hide on all the popups. Does anyone know how i can disable the popups?
TIA
P.S. repect to the programmer of xdadev_all_unlock. Top app!
i need to run a SMALL java applet :shock: , i've been searching for a solution since february 2004 :!: :!: :!: , I'm begging u guys , any help around ?

Hi guys,
(I have searched for this and similar topics so my apologies if I'm duplicating)
Bought my Compact about a month ago with T-mobile UK and am only just opening my eyes to its possibilities!
Thanks for all the information on web n walk etc.... i'll be signing up tomorrow!
I have just been on pocketgear.com and have seen all the games a pocket PC can use..... so I downloaded a trial version of a poker game (as is fashionable these days it seems!), but once transferred to my phone it wouldn't work.
Got the error message '[game] is not a valid pocket PC application'
So I tried Bookworm... and got the same message.
Am I doing something wrong, or is it because I downloaded it from an American Website to an English phone?
Any (and I do mean any) help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. I haven't tweaked my phone in any way or improved it at all, so any further hints and tips would be appreciated too!
Cheers

When you DL software for your device, make sure that you DL software that is designed for your device. If you DL Pocket PC 2003 Software, and you are using a Windows Mobile 5.0 device, the software may NOT work on your device - also, if you are using a older device, you need to be aware that some software is designed for certain types of processors - so if you are using a PDA with an ARM processor, you have to DL software that will run on an ARM processor - not software that is designed for a MIPS processor. The newest devices all use the same processor (as far as I know) - but if you DL older software to run on the newer device, you will have to use software that was originally designed for anARM procesor. This may seem a little complicated, but the best way to find out how this works, is to go to a software distro site (like Handango), and download the different versions of the same software, and then install them. Hope that helps!

Well, I think it is just plain bad luck. I've downloaded and install.. quite a large amount of software/games to test on my MDACompact2 and most of the software that said to be meant for WinCE, WM2003, SE, etc works well with WM5. I can say, in my experience, the chances of getting one not working in WM5 is like. 20% or less. So, keep trying
Hi onemanfloats!
Did you download an exe file an copied it directly to the device?
If the download is an exe that means it is an installer and needs to be run on you PC while the device is synchronized. Most PPC programs are distributed this way.
Also programs for PPC some times come as cab files. Those you have to copy to your device and tap on them in the explorer so they will install.
As for processor type - don't worry, all devices sold today come with ARM, or ARM compatible (like OMAP) processors, and most of the new software supports only that type.
As for OS, I'm not sure if your device is running Windows Mobile 5 or Windows Mobile 2003, but as far as games and ordinary programs go, if it works on 2003 it usually works on 5 (2005).
The only problem is with some utilities which are very OS dependent.
Finally let me recommend you this site:
http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com
Tons of free stuff for you device.
Good luck.
ms should make pda's error msg
tell the user that it's a pc application they are trying to
run on the pda
tons of ppl get confused but this
The "not designed for" message on WM2003 only meant that the application perhaps didn't support screen rotation, and other resolutions than 240x320
It's a bit off topic, but the warning "This program may not display correctly..." pops up on every program whose installation cab supports OS lower the 4.21 (that's WM 2003se in plain English ).
According to MSDN that's because the OS assumes the program inside can't support VGA, screen rotation and square.
It's pretty stupid design since a lot of programs try to be backwards compatible, at least to WM 2003, and the message just scares users.
It's a good thing they got rid of it in WM5.
cheers guys,
just got back from a tiring weekend in snowdon and read your replies.
Will digest in the morning and see what I can do!
Thanks again for your help!
is it possible to run this on ppc?
the online applet version:
HTML:
http://dguitar.sourceforge.net/fr/livedemo.html
the offline version as "dguitarapplet.htm":
HTML:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/dguitar/DGuitar0.3.1.v.zip?use_mirror=fastbull
the application itself:
HTML:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/dguitar/DGuitar-0.5.8.zip?use_mirror=garr
i'm new to the scene (just bought an ipaq 214).
i've read the java midlet bible, tried several combinations to no avail but
can't say for sure that it's impossible to run it on PPC, this is why i want an expert opinion.
thx in advance.
searched trough the net found nothing, there was only a single thread on this forum talking about Dguitar on ppc but no direct answer on the matter.
i tried CrEme plugin with PIE, JEODE plugin also, and nothing..
PIE can't display this applet, tried netfront 3.2 and nothing..
as far as i know opera doesn't have any workaround concerning the execution of java applets.
jbed and j9 gave me errors when i tried to execute the ".jar"..
i know that i still have to do deeper testing with CrEme to give up.
what i fear is that i messed up something on my WM install, trough heavy software installation, so all my testing could be erroneous.
i asked on this forum so i could have an answer from someone who have a clean and working java environment, if it is possible to execute this application, this application is unique because if it's working it would be the only "Guitar Pro tabs" capable application on the PPC.
