New 8125 with Fed X and due in wednesday. O-Boy!!!!

Hey All, I'm very excited here , my new 8125 will be in my hands Wednesday. The first thing I would like to find is a weather program to install. I use xWeather on my Treo 650, it gives me nice radar views. I would love to have something like that for my 8125. I wonder, can I try loading the Treo 650 program on the 8125 or is that a No No. So ware do I go to find down loadable programs for my 8125. I go to mytreo.net for tons of free stuff and trial programs for the 650, is there a place like that to go for my new 8125? Watch ya say guys? Thanks...

As far as Weather Programs -- there's WeatherPanel by Marsware, Spb Weather, and Sbsh Pocket Weather that I'm aware of.
As far as other apps -- go to Handango, Pocketgear, Freewareppc, or pocketpcfreewares. Or, just do a google search for "PPC APPS".
Another suggestion is to mosey over to the Cingular Customer Forums and do a forum search for "8125 apps" to see what kinds of programs some of us are running on our 8125's.

Thanks newbie2 for all the info. I went to all that you mentioned and did the google search and found lots more; way cool ! I like very much the Marsware WeatherPanel also, I will put that in the new 8125 first thing and for 12 bucks I will buy it also. I sure hope my new 8125 comes with a data transfer cable or I will be bummed out big tme. LOL

It comes with the USB sync cable to connect to your computer to sync AND for downloads -- so, you're all set!!

Thanks for the info on what the unit comes with, that's a relief!! I set up folders and book marks for all this new stuff so I'm all ready. I been waiting for Fed-X, my package is out for delivery. I down loaded Weatherpanel and am ready to install that also. I'm used to getting stuff for my Treo 650 and having to install .prc files for programs. It was interesting to see that the weatherpanel has a .exe extension and it seems as though programs for the 8125 mda set up as if you are doing regular computer installs; hence the name Pocket PC. This is neet stuff... Now ware is that truck..........

New 8125 came in yesterday, I am loving it. I stayed up late to get it set up the way I want and all is fine, everything from syncing to E-Mail to Wifi is all done. My 1Gb sd card will arrive Friday then I will install Weatherpanel, with that install I guess I just use the explore from the hot sync manager and put the program in a folder and just double click the .exe file. I'm really not sure how to install programs yet to the phone, any info would be great. I use 4 E-Mail addresses and having to switch between each one to check them all is a pain. With my Treo 650 I used Snapper Mail and it checked all accounts one after another automaticaly. Is there an E-Mail program for my 8125 that will work the way Snapper Mail does? I looked briefly for Snapper Mail for Pocket PC's but still no luck. Again any info is appreciated. Thanks All....

For an .exe install, you want to install from the desktop through ActiveSync. Just double-click the program's install icon -- the installation will start on your desktop and go through the ActiveSync connection to install to your phone.
To install a .cab file, drag and drop ( or copy and paste) to your phone through Active Sync ( I ususally put .cab files onto the SD card). Then just navigate to it on the phone through File Explorer, tap on the file and it will begin the install process.
If your SD card is in your phone, you'll be asked at the beginning of the install process whether you want the program installed to the device or storage card. Just make your choice, click "install" and the installer will do the rest.
Sorry -- don't know about any programs for multiple email accounts. It's all I can do to keep up with just ONE!!

yes you can run Palm OS 5.2 (or older) on your PPC!
Just visit http://styletap.crmhelp.net/?_a=knowledgebase&_j=questiondetails&_i=5
but know that is not freeware. But I still prefer WM5 apps

[REQ] Windows Live Search .cab file

On my very first tilt I was able to install a nice version of WLS that included GPS directions and local information look-up. I'm currently running ROMeOS on my Fuze and it came with a new version of Windows Live that looks and acts nothing like that one I had. I was instructed to go to http://wls.live.com, which from Opera is a complete failure. When loaded in IE it does detect my phone, however, when I go to download it I am told the file cannot be found.
So I beg of you please, can someone post the .cab file if they have it. I know I cannot be the only one who preferred this program over Google Maps.
I have TomTom7 installed but lacking a MicroSD card to load the maps. Which reminds me, what is the largest MicroSD the Fuze will support?

I went to the same address you did. You can either use IE to do it, or with Opera just click on the link that acknowledges it doesn't know what phone you have and then manually select the WM6 download.

See if this is the one you are looking for

@AvengerBB
When I click that acknowledge link, that's when I get the error. Also had the same problem on my Tilt.
@supps2
Thank you, trying it now!
EDIT - Exactly what I wanted, thank you! Now to fix my damn data problems.

TomTom Map Help needed

Hi guys
There are loads of TomTom discussions but nothing i have found that helps me. Can any of you help. Before i waiste £28 on a map i cant get at
I bought an HTC HD2
Transfered my SD card over from my Touch HD and tried to load TT 7.14. it opened but didnt see my maps and i got the bluetooth error. So i installed the 7.15 peoplee here talked about, but still couldnt see my maps.
So i purchased new maps from TomTome site, plugged my HD2 into TomTom home 2.7.
TomTom home does not recognise the HD2 so i can not download my new maps.
Can i download my maps manually so i can put it onto TomTom myself, or have i just waisted £28?

Hey Mate i may be able to help,
Basically i had Tomtom 6 on my other xda handsets and transferred it over to the HTC HD2. now i did the same i brought the updated maps and the only way you can put it on your device is via the tomtom home, however tomtom home, newest edition doesnt work with mobiles, you have to download the older version 1.6 which is in small writting under the main download found on the website below
http://www.tomtom.com/services/service.php?id=16&tab=87
I had to contact tomtom cause i had same problem and he told me to do this, they say that HTC HD2 is not in there list as operating tomtom, but i told him mine works fine no problems and it still does, so this will help in getting the new maps on, all i can suggest is try this first and see if it see's the new maps.
what are you trying to do with bluetooth and tomtom to get bluetooth error??

nothing with bluetooth but when i install tomtom i get the usual bluetooth error.
cheers for the advice, i will try it and that you know
thanks

Hi
It is problem with tomtom and bloutooth. But you can by-pass this problem very easly. It dosent matter wich tomtom you install. I have installed ttn7.915.9196.qvga_black.cab and it is working perfect without any problem.
What you can do is!!
1) Install your tomtom as you used to.
2)Connect your HD2 to PC an syncronize it!
3) Open files on your HD2 and copy file name Navigator which is in file programs! copy whole file to your PC.
4) Then you have to unstall tomtom and reboot the phone
5)Then copy whole file as it is on your pc back to the phone!(navigator file)
If you click on tomtom navigator.exe then it will work as it was before. and it is no problem with bloutooth. But if you would like to have on your program list to that you can make short cut, you have to do this!
1) Now it is easy to make a file under progarms: You do such:
Start--- filemanaging---my unit(phone)---windows----start meny---programs
You make a new file. dosent matter the name.
2) copy file name tomtom navigator.exe to this file(look 1) Until here you can do it on your pc . But after that you have to do it on you HD2
3) Click on
Start--filemanaging--myunit---windows---start meny---programs---newfile(or what ever you gave name to).
4)push your finger on only file there by the name tomtom navigator.exe, then cut it.
5) click on up. It is left handside down. Then you are in the file programs.
6) pushyour finger somewhere on the screen.( Just like wright click on pc)
You chose her ;copy short cut.
7) now you can delet that file that is empety. If you dont it is ok.
It is finshed. If you click on start, you will find tomtom there now. If you did what I told you.
Good luck

thank you to both of you.

Copilot doesn't work on tom 1.66

not sure if this message should go here or the generall forum
i had rom 1.48.asia and upgraded to shipped ROM 1.66 European. Now I see a new program called Copilot but when I run it it says error downloading files and it doesn't load. How can i get this thing to work?
Even more troubling is that footsteps application now try to redirect to this copilot instead of googlemaps. Since copilot doesn't seem to work, anybody knows how to make foot steps app show googlemaps when clicking on the map icon rather than the copilot which doesn't work ?
Thanks

the files are on the SD card that came with the HD2, assuming you had the CoPilot trial on your phone when you got it...

HD2 Copilot SD Card Files

Hi,
Apologies if this is in another thread but I cannot find anything that matches my request.
I just upgraded my ROM from T-Mobile 1.43 to the Generic 1.66, and as a bonus now have the ability to try out Copilot (not included on t-mobile version)
The downside is that I also do not have the files from the SD card (again t-mobile don't include them).
Could someone either put the said files/folders somewhere I could grab them or help me track them down. I don't believe I am asking for anything illegal here. I just want to test the software and may indeed purchase if I like it but as things stand I cannot.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!

Start Copilot, register for the trial and you will receive the option to download the voice files and maps you want to. It is recommended that you use the use either WiFi or ActiveSync, since the maps aren't that small. If you didn't get the option when you first started Copilot, you could delete the copilot directory on your storage card or just go to download from the options panel.
