Birdiesync problem on wm6 - General Topics

Hy.
I installed Birdiesync on my Tre0 750, then it has expired, and i uninstalled it. Since then, i'm getting a message, everytime i'm connecting to the internet or to my calc. that "Cannot execute \program files\Birdiesync\Birdiesync.exe." I searched in P. files, there is no such file or folder. In windows startup the same, i even checked with a registry editor, but the file was probably deleted.
So, where it initializez? How can i get rid of the message?

Did you get this issue resolved? I about to give BirdieSync a try with their 21 day trial...but I don't want to even install it if it doesn't leave your phone how it was after it's gone.
Did you even like the program, or did you just uninstall for other reasons. I'm using finchsync, the free alternative...but development stopped on it so long ago I wasnt to try something new.

Yes, i resolved it. I installed it again, and then uninstalled it again, whith my phone disconnected from the computer. It worked this way. Yes, the program works fine, doing what is expected to...

Problem Reinstalling from Sprite Backup

I hard reset my Touch Pro to test something out. On attempting to reinstall from my Sprite backup I've had a major problem.
Attempts:
1) A straightforward reinstall led to an 'SPBServices.exe cannot be found' message and TouchFlo repeatedly trying to start but failing.
2) In a second attempt I stopped the contents of the 'StartUp' folder from being reinstalled - which stopped the 'SPB' message from appearing but the TouchFlo problem still happened.
3) Third attempt - I set everything to reinstall except the contents of the Windows folder - this worked just fine except, of course, all the problems that come from trying to make anything run without the dlls etc. in that folder.
The only things I can think that might be messing with TouchFlo after the reinstall are:
I installed SSMaPa and made it give me Pocket Informant instead of the built-in WinMo calendar.
There's Pocket Informant itself. I have TomTom installed. Spb Traveler. Otherwise I can't think of anything else that would load at the start and possibly interferen with TouchPro starting.
Anyone got any ideas? Clearly it is something, a dll I assume, that I need to tell the backup not to reinstall. The last thing I want to have to do is reinstall everything manually.
Anyone? Suggestions? Solutions? Random abuse?

iFonz very slow / crashing

I think I've put this in the right place, but Mods please feel free to move it if I haven't.
My O2 XDA Ignito (HTC Touch Diamond in a different housing) has worked perfectly with iFonz for many months. I'm on version 1.1.2. I am very, very happy with iFonz and would not want to go back to TouchFlo which is nowhere near as good.
Yesterday, iFonz suddenly started operating extremely slowly. I thought I had crashed, but in fact it responds to commands but takes anything from 15 seconds to over a minute to do so. Until then, it has been virtually instantaneous.
The first command I issue after it's been left for some time will work as normal, but if I open (say) the PI Calendar, then close that - the nothing else will work for about 15 seconds after the keypress.
The only change I know about is that I had a problem with ActiveSynch to a new desktop installation (the familiar 0x86000107 problem) which I fixed in the usual way by deleting and reinstalling the pairing. Activesync worked fine after that.
I have S2U2 running - but that's always been there.
I noticed from the time I first installed iFonz that it would not update its header bar for several seconds after starting, but everything else worked OK.
Can anyone suggest a cause or a fix? I'm reluctant to uninstall and reinstall because I've set up 4 pages of icons and don't want to lose all that work.
I never used iFonz but i'm pretty sure the settings are kept somewhere so you can export them and not have to set everything up from the beginning. I always suggest uninstalling to check what causes the problem.
Thank you. Indeed, that is what I would have expected. I've searched the machine carefully, and found the iFonz software but no settings file.
I've PMed the author, and meanwhile I've taken iFonz off the startup list and running Touchflo instead. I don't like it anything like as much as iFonz, but it works.
Well, there's been no reply from the author, and everything I've tried (including uninstall and reinstall) has made no difference. Sad, because I liked iFonz.

Please tell me how to fix the above a bit more specifik...
I don't understand what you mean by: "pairing"
"Pairing" is setting up the ActiveSync connection between the PDA/phone and the PC so that they will synchronise when you connect them.
If you get the error, you have a problem. I fixed mine for a few months, but then the problem came back worse, and the fixes that used to work stopped. Basically, I don't think ActiveSync is capable of doing the job reliably. It deleted all my contacts (losing me a load of names and addresses that I needed and couldn't recover). I threw it out some time ago.
I now use an iPhone which doesn't have any of those problems.

Some application cannot access network

Hi all,
I have got a really weird problem. Some application, such as QuickGPS, Youtube (Google's app), SPB TV, Windows Live Messenger Mobile can't access the network. Some other apps are not affected, such as Internet Explorer, Opera 8.65.
I don't want to reinstall everything since it takes quite long. I think I probably modified registry or installed some stuff and that has caused the problem. I can't figure out what I have done wrong.
Any ideas?
wifi ?
gprs ?
I would look how the settings were set in settings->connections-Connections-advanced-select network
and try changing them
Wifi and Activesync, Windows Mobile 6.1. The top box in that tab is set to the Internet, the bottom box is set to the work network. I tried to change them, it didn't help. Now Google Map doesn't work neither.
It says:
Error: wininetHTTPError [0 2]
A soft-reset does solve the problem, but I have to reinstall all my apps...I am very reluctant to do that.

Soft-reset does not delete any installation. I've done many times. But you probably meant to say hard-reset instead!

Sorry that's what I meant. I think I am going to go for a hard reset later on, if nobody finds a solution.

Locating the contact db file in WM 6.1 (contacts, calendar, phone all broken)

My problem is very similar to the one described here, However I don't want to fix it, I just want to TRY and retrieve my contacts!!!!
I am looking for the contact data files in WM 6.1 (in other words, the outlook data files that are probably hidden).
Backstory: The resident idiot here (ME) neglected to sync his phone and back things up for, oh, about 3 months. (yes, you know what comes next, and I fully deserve it!).
The phone has now stopped working... Specifically, the Phone application, contacts application, and calendar application. The rest of WM is working fine, except that there is something causing it to run sluggish. AND the phone will not sync. It will connect, but it refuses to sync. Nothing was done to cause this failure, other than waking up one morning.
SOMETHING is corrupted, but I don't think its the actual data file (logic for that is below), SO before I hit the hard reset.... I thought I might try to back it up manually..... what do I have to lose?
A few more specifics:
1. Samsung i770 running WM 6.1 (but I think more of a WM specific issue than a i770 issue). Activesync 4.5 will connect, but it will not sync contacts.
2. When the phone booted for the first 20 or so times after the problem appeared, an error message would across the screen as soon as the desktop was loaded, but far too fast to make out any of the words.
3. Trying to load contacts, calendar, or the phone application produces absolutely no result. No error message, to hung process, nothing.
4. The messaging application works fine, BUT any attempt to load a contact from within fails. Again, no error message, just... nothing happens, it's like you never clicked it....
5. The radio antenna in the top bar says that it has no service.
6. NOW the error message is no longer flashing by the screen when you boot the phone, but all other symptoms remain.
7. Despite the fact that the radio icon and status indicator claims there is no signal, I can send and receive text messages (I just have to enter the number manually).
8. Once, very recently, without doing anything, an error message appeared and STAYED on the screen. Shape of the text looks about right for the message that previously has been flashing by on the screen, I think they are one in the same.
"Shortcut Target"
"error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename."
ANY THOUGHTS? Primarily I'm looking for the contacts data file (I don't care about the calendar, but its probably in the same spot) to TRY back it up before I hard reset the phone.... BUT if anyone has any ideas about a cause or temporary fix to the problems, I'm all ears!!!!!!
I'd highly recommend trying Microsoft MyPhone, just to see if that can access your contacts. It may be that the contacts DB itself is knackered, in which case you obviously can't get anything back.
Worth a try
http://myphone.microsoft.com/
Good luck!

Indeed it was worth a try. Connected via Wifi to install (can't use data plan, that requires "dialing" an internet connection, which must use the phone app).
Synced documents, txt messages, photos, and then said "Synchonization Successful". WOOHOO! all done.... OR NOT! checked online, NO contacts information. No Calendar information. Apparently MyPhone takes the stance of "if it won't work, just ignore it and report success".
Thanks, A very good thing to try, but no go
Unfortunately, I can think of a number of different ways that WM could be programed, each pointing to a different culprit for the problem. If it's straight DB access for each program, then the only conclusion is that the DB is knackered. But if there's a some kind of access control program that handles those things, maybe its just the program that's no good (hence the message that it couldn't load the target shortcut when the phone boots up).
Anyone have any ideas where to find the DB itself? I can always try the traditional (and very bad idea) of a file swap.....
Looks like this mystery will go unsolved... last chance to figure out where to find the contacts db file is. I'll probably be wiping it tomorrow, can't live without the phone much longer. Thanks for the suggestions so far!
Search for PIMBackup, that will enable you to save all your PIM related stuff and then restore it once you have a working device.
Edit
Forgot to say this doesn't require you to install anything, just save the EXE to your memory card and then use File Manager to run it on the PPC.
"Connecting to outlook...."
"Could not connect to Outlook."
Beautiful suggestion, I really thought I had the answer there... Thank you!
Seems to be that poutlook.exe is knackered, but that really would not explain why the Phone (cprog.exe) won't load...
PIM Backup log history is mostly what could be expected:
appointments failed - cant connect to outlook
call logs worked
contacts failed - cant connect to outlook
messages worked - "connected to outlook" (but thats a different db and a different connection app, tmail.exe)
speed dials worked
tasks failed - cant connect to outlook
So it comes down to this: PIM.vol is knackered, OR poutlook.exe is dead, and I'm not sure which. Anyone have WM 6.1 and feel like emailing me a copy of poutlook.exe? (powderkeg500 ~a~t~ gmail ^d0t^ com !)... I'm sure the versions may be a bit different... but *shrug* maybe it will work?.....
Does anyone know if I can simply copy PIM.vol to my computer, reload the device, and then copy PIM.vol back to the phone? If the answer is absolutely yes, then I can simply try that. But if the answer is no... I could be shooting myself in the foot
i think copying PIM.vol off and then back on might work, but i seem to recall it may require Total Commnader to get it back on as it's locked by the OS on startup - deemed a system level file i think.
i remember doing this once myself but can't remember that far back now.
Sorry for not sounding more positive. You might like to look at alol.net.br as they offer a free Exchange acount you access OTA and so your contacts would always be backed up in future.

having problems installing OMARKET

everything install properly and all i need to do is login, and everytime i log in it says "connection failed! Please check your internet connection and try again" well ive checked it and it works with every other program, has anyone had this problem?
Strange, I just went to run Open Market today and for whatever reason, the icon was there, but the shortcut was dead.
I tried reinstalling to the storage card but uninstall failed. Turns out I couldn't delete the folder either. I wound up just installing it to the device and it's now working fine...Best of luck.

Go to freewarepocketpc.net from your pc, and register there. Then use that login info on your phone and it will let you login.
It says connection error, but the real problem is that you cannot register from application on your phone and it gives such error when you try to login.

Well, I also have that. And it also happens when trying to connect to FB or Twitter with SPB Mobile Shell. Other apps just work tho. So far those 2 are the only ones that no longer work. All I did was try to install some Manila 2D cabs and ended up uninstalling them.
So I think one of the cabs was responsible for it but no idea which or what has been altered.
Grtz,

I'm getting the login failure also and I've been registered for a year. Today is the only day I have been getting this failure message. I'm logged into FreewarePPC but Omarket still won't log in.
