Bing compatibility - General Topics

Hi -- I just downloaded the new version of Bing. I'm running it on an HTC Sedna with Windows Mobile 6.1. It _seems_ to work fine on my phone. Fine except for the fact that within a minute or two I get a message which says "Your device has been identified as not supported for this application," after which Bing shuts down. Any ideas on how to get around this? This software is supposed to work with WM 6.1 phones and it seems to do so until Microsoft pulls the plug!
Thanks, Alan

Are you using a cooked ROM?
I suggest you to install it on a emulator and see what happens

Thanks -- no, I'm using the standard HTC ROM. (I don't even think there ARE any cooked ROMS for this phone!)
I've never dealt with an emulator, so I don't immediately know how to do what you're suggesting, nor do I have a sense of how time consuming that would be. But would it be worthwhile to go down that road? If Bing worked on the emulator, how would that help me figure out how to make it work on my phone?
I wonder if there's a way to tell Bing that I've got a different kind of phone. I suspect that would fix this. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks!
Alan

Ok, but you can share where you got the installation file(just to do a test here).
Thanks.

Yes -- I got it from here:
http://static.appserver.m.bing.net/binaries/winmo/v1/Bing.CAB
I was running the previous version of Bing, and the program sent me to this link to get the updated version (which then gives me errors about my phone not being supported).
Thanks, Alan

Thanks very much, I'm going to test it.
Wait some time...

That's terrific! Thanks so much!

Bing...
Works OK on Diamond 1 with stock 6.1 ROM. Not sure if I like it or not..

Right -- I know it works on other WM 6.1 phones. I'm wondering how to run it on mine. I suspect the solution is to make Bing think I'm using a Diamond or some other phone it knows it's compatible with. Anyone know how to do this? What does it use to figure out what sort of phone I have?
Thanks, Alan

It's working on my emulator.
Have you already tried another version?

I don't really understand what you're asking ... I've run this program on two different (stock WM 6.1) HTC P6500s with the same result: it works fine a little while, then I get a message that I'm not using a supported device and the software shuts down. I don't know how running this on an emulator would help me fix the problem. I know that the software works fine on Diamonds, Touch Pro2, Diamond 2, and other officially-supported WM 6.1 phones. And I know that the software detects my P6500 as not supported and therefore will stop working after a while.
SO: the question is how to get Bing to believe I'm using a phone that it considers supported? I've tried replacing P6500 with T5353 (Touch Diamond 2) in a couple of places in the registry:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ActiveSync\DeviceModel
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent\Post Platform
But it doesn't seem to make a difference ....
Does anyone have any other ideas about how I might fix this?
Thanks,
Alan

I think that change these registrys:
Code:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ActiveSync\ DeviceModel
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent\Post Platform
Isn't a very good thing, because this can turn your device unstable.
PS: I'm going to Google for some solution.

I need one thing to solve your problem as fast as I can. It's the error code.
Thanks.

Thanks so much ... Yeah, I didn't leave those registry changes on long: just a quick experiment.
OK, forgive my ignorance, but how can I find out the error code to tell you?
Thank you!
Alan

Error in images, this is after being cooked in, works for a few min but than get a compatibility error and shuts down

Interesting -- that's a different error than the one I get, though mine generally comes up around the same time. Mine says "Your device has been identified as not supported for this application."
How do we find error codes for these?
Alan

It seems they have the same root, this has been cooked in I was hoping to go "around" the not supportive error that you get with the cab file.
Since I took it out of my build I think the best way will be to run it cooked in an emulator to get it.

Huh, interesting...
I'm going to take a better look on this.

Windows live expired for WM6

Yeah, mine stoppped working Saturday night.
Same here. Cannot reinstal it. Any idea?
I think this may somehow be connected with instalation of MS Deepfish browser..but it's only a guess..

I just uninstalled Deepfish, but it still doesn't work.
It still works for me. I have a friend with a Palm 700wx and his stoped working. he reflashed his rom. Still no good. He gets an error window with an X on it. I back-dated his clock to last month and it installs and runs but wont login because of incorrect clock. After correcting the date he gets the X. So I believe this beta was set to expire in april. Maby a new beta is available. Anyone know?
Guys, WM6 built in works just fine. So if you arent using WM6 then maybe you should be posting this in the WM5 section of the forum. Im on My Vanilla at the moment to test this out. Seems my boss has found the forum and likes emailing me links to stuff like this hoping that this will not effect my rom that is in the works for corp. Please make sure your posting in the right section. Causing me more work and emails to answer LOL. Help a brother out...
Call me retarted. I didnt see the line. LOL. Damn boss got me all frustrated. They want this and they want that. Argh. As for me, My live works just fine. but I know M$ released the actual deal so i think the beta is expired. Go get the real deal.
Solution
Hi, I had this problem too. The solution was:
1- Change the time of my ppc to any date of 2006.
2- Uninstall Windows Live.
3- Change the time to actual date.
4- Install WindowsLive.PPC_ARM_NonBETA_NoDate.CAB.
This version don´t expire. Was estracted from a Wm6 Rom and works on WM5 and WM6.
Now, I´m using Xplore 1.1 Wm6 Rom and dont have this problem.
Bye.

UK Version MSVC

I have MS Voice Command UK version. I'm using the very stable WM6 ROM from jwright; is it possible to change the US version to the UK version so it recognises the dial pattern correctly?
If it is possible, it would make my device perfect.
I have been trying to locate that for ages, cant see anywhere selling it (V 1.6)...Where did you get it?
Thanks

Where I got it from, in fact.
Thanks guys, I'm sure I looked there before, but only saw the 1.5 version..Got it now
I don't use this ROM, so I'm only guessing here. Presumably Voice Command does not show up in Remove Programs.
In which case you could unlock the extended ROM and replace the MSVC US cab with your MSVC UK cab and do a hard reset. Your version should then get installed (at the expense of all you installed programs and setting obviously).
Or has JWright done something more clever with his ROM to get MSVC on there?
Mike
Voice Command is integrated into the core ROM on WM6.
Although you can still install the UK version, it will use up storage space, but it should still work, it was what I did on the earlier WM6 builds to get the bluetooth button issue resolved, and always worked fine.

Execute sound when the universal is flipped

is this possible? just a thought... saw one of the posts where you can change the sound when you slide a keyboard using other pdas so i thought maybe this is also possible with our universals?
hehe! no need to reply to this post though... only if you know how..

Nop doesn't work. Universals don't have that registry
Check out SlideSound at http://tiermann.co.nr
There's also a thread on it at ppcgeeks. It works with QVGA and VGA now.
It's not dependant on the screen driver or anything, so any wm5/6 device that can rotate it's screen should trigger it.
wow that software works, it crashes sometimes but it works anyway. is there any program that executes a sound when the uni is turned on or when you open it ?
thanks man... just what i was looking for...

It crashes for you? Any error messages, like even a .net error or anything? So far it's only been tested on HTC Apache (6700) with .net Compact Framework 2.0 and 3.5, and I believe someone is running it successfully on the Mogul too. If you could post any errors I can see if I can take care of them.

it crashes sometimes, i dont have the error message infront of me now.. nothing major, it rarely crashes, not like all the time kind of thing so no worries..
Always puzzled me this. Why would you want everyone around you to know you've just opened or flipped your phone?
just for fun, not for people to see me,
or shall the answer is "I need toys"?
He He. Just like my Samsung, with it's musical box tones on the keypad too. Not the thing to forget when you're trying to send a quick text under the table at a boring business meeting though!

Swype from 2.07 rom required

HI can anyone tell me where to get new skype from 2.07 rom ???
thanks in advance.
You won't find anyone with it here. The best solution is to simply flash to a ROM that has it.
I have so much data on phone can't backup all of it so dont wana change rom for time being........
Im not sure where to grab the version of swype that has been extracted from the 2.07 rom... i am trying to find it myself!
The swype cab created from the version ripped from the Samsung Omnia 2 is all over the web though... google should bring up a couple of places to download it from.
Does anyone know of any differences between the two versions?

You will have to search in the underground... Extracting the software and offering it as a cab is clearly not wanted by the creators and owners of the software. Offering links to warez is completely against xda rules.
The difference between the 2 might be some more language support, and that the HD2 version was made for HD2, as simple as that. I think it still might be an option to flash a ROM which carries it on board - or, at least, as long as this is tolerated.
Maybe in the close future, HTC will bring another ROM update which offers this great piece of software. Or, as stated otherwise, Swype might decide to make a retail offer at some time. If they do at a decent price, I believe they could do great business - as seen with other products, at unreasonably high prices, you won´t sell big, but at fair pricing, you can succeed.
I cannot find the new version anywhere!
If anyone has a link or would like to email it to me that would be very much appreciated!!

I had the same thing, only installed yesterday so didn't do much checking of the phone. Quite a few problem were caused by the T-Mobile version . Data connection is screwed and all email passwords needed to be reset and my Wifi password are also gone lol. Did some reading online as well and quite a few other people have experienced the same problems, some have even had to HARD RESET to get their phones working correctly, fortunetly for me just uninstalling the CAB and giving the phone a few minutes resolved my Data connection issues , will put back on the Omnia version and leave it at that for the time being.
So I advice using the newest version of Swype with EXTREME caution!!!!
I tried it after much hesitation... Had to do a new setup for all email accounts, data connection and wifi connection. But it seems to be fine now, I'll see in a few days if it stays like that.
I'm using SWYPE WVGA 3.9.10.10.5032 on my HD2 without any problems.

Had the same, but all I had to do was re-enter the passwords (and mail servers for gmail) and re-run the connection setup wizard. Now I'm fine and dandy and the software is nothing short of awesome... Supports Italian, German, French, English and Spanish; I tested all languages and it works fine
I'd say it is a crucial addition to the HD2, as I use it every day, and it makes my text input much less of a chore. It is particularly useful because of its multi-language support. I've never had any problems like those described, thankfully.
have you guys done any soft resets since the initial reset after installation? I also found the keyboard became slow to start after I played with the setting. the omnia 2 version is working better for me and with the htc skin looks awesome.

I can't believe no one else posted this...
If you overwrite the ModelID with the file provided, you are effectively telling your phone that you are now....a...tmobile hd2.
The swype keyboard has protection in it...only a tmobile hd2 will work with it.
hence why you need the modelid
now here is the kicker...
Say sprint - you run sprint tv. get an error. wanna know why? sprint asks "what phone" and your phone replies "tmobilehd2.
Same thing with prl updates...
I think you get the point...
when you overwrite the modelid, all exchange accounts - gone (sorta). Your 4 digit pin become a lockout - no pin will unlock it.
in short, bad things happen.
And this is why you always provision your phone before you set it up. part of provisioning is setting the modelid...
which is why people on mighty that forgot to provision before seting up exchange need that fix e-mails cab...
any questions?

@leepriestenator, if I don't use any provider software, I can install swype without any problem right ?
leepriestenator is correct. Thanks. As our phones are all unlock where we are, the problem is just resetting the mobile provider. It is working fine on my phone, though the phone identity is now T-mobile_Leo.
Having said that, it is a much improved version over the one in Samsung.

bluetooth printing?

searched high an low and found a bunch of nothing except jetset print5 which i wouldnt mind but mighty rom doesnt have it.
does anyone know where i might be able to dl it or if anyone knows of a better app that would be great.....thanks.
ok, so no one knows, how bout this....does anyone know how i can take the jetcet print 5 off my old touch pro and then install it onto my tp2?
Hi Tregrad,
You could try CAB'ing one of the version found in the TouchPRO/Fuze OEM Repository.
I do suggest contacting Weksttek before going through the effort however so as to confirm that JETCET Print is compatible with the new Bluetooth implementation found on the TouchPRO2/Tilt2 and WinMO 6.5.x.
Cheers,

Here you go. Jetset Print 5 all in a nice little cab. I installed it on my TP2 (which it did install to the main memory) to check it out but I have no way to test it. Give it a spin and see if it works out for you. Hope this helps.

awesome PRB thanks a lot i really appreciate it!! I believe there is a 5.1 version out there but this will do just fine, again...... THANKS!
I looked all over the place for it but it costs money and it comes with teh phone so i didnt think i should have to buy it when i have phones that already have it on it.
wow having a real hard time setting it up. will try again later
As pointed out my earlier reply, certain versions of JETCET Print are not compatible with the new Bluetooth implementation (stack) that is present in WinMO 6.5.x and WinMO 6.1.21000+. The best approach to use would be to download the trial version and test it before hand - since it's the latest version.
Here's a link on the subject from about a year ago:

Yea i thought he would follow your advise because you posted as i was typing my reply & uploading the cab i found. I was unaware of the different versions for the new bluetooth implemintation. I did not create the cab I just found it. I was also unable to test the cab as i do not have bluetooth capability on my printer. You advice was probably the best course of action.
I browsed through their Online Support knowledgebase and discovered that there is a 5.4.1198 version floating around. I also noticed these KB articles which confirm my suspicion that earlier version will likely be problematic on new versions of devices:
4516: What Bluetooth stacks does JETCET PRINT support?
7813: What printers does JETCET PRINT v5.2.1059 support?
7839: The HTC HD2 and HTC Touch 2 with JETCET PRINT 5.4.1187 in ROM are unable to locate the PlanOn printer via Bluetooth. What is the problem?
