Well, after about 3 weeks of using Windows Mobile 6.5 on my new Samsung Epix (yeah, i know, old handset), I managed to break swf support.
I had it set up so that "File Explorer Extension" would open SWF files in Internet Explorer, without quoting the filename, and i had Flash Mobile 7 installed to handle it from there. It worked rather flawlessly.
The other day, i tried out the Advanced Configuration tool from TouchXperience (can't post an outside link yet), and tried to bind the swf extension to IE, so i could launch swf files from Total Commander and other external sources. Something went wrong, i tried to unbind it, and it broke all support.
From there, i uninstalled Flash 7, reinstalled it, and set File Explorer to open them in IE again. Every time i try to launch a swf now, IE spazzes out, spams me with error report prompts, and then proceeds to crash to the today screen, closing everything.
Anyone know what might cause that? Or help? If i have to reflash my phone, let me ask this while i'm at it. Is there an unofficial ROM of Windows Mobile 6.5.3 for the Samsung Epix? It's not a problem, but it just gnaws away at me knowing i'm not on the latest version...
um, don't mean to nag, but does anyone have a solution for this?

Hi...I bought a HTC S710 recently...it is my first windows mobile 6.0 based phone...i have been a symbian/nokia fan since long.
Few problems i am facing:
1) sending a sms to multiple recipients. The only i can see is adding people one by one...or using a semi-colon. Is there a way to make groups or something? I saw a post here about SmartSMS...but does it work with WM6? If yes, can anybody point me to the latest version...there seems to be a lot of different softwares floating around the net with the same.
2) I can't seem to create new folders for sms...I tried fiddling around with the 'manage folders' option...but to no avail. Is there any workaround? or a simple step that i have overlooked?
3) Before recieving a bluetooth message, it doesn't prompt it...it just sends the data without asking. I managed to be secure enough by using a passkey but is there a way i can just add a prompt before recieving data via bluetooth?
4) TCPMP doesn't seem to support xvid files. Is there any other software available that can play xvid files?
5) Is there any software that lists all active processes? the in-built task manager only shows things that i have started...but i know there are other things running (the OS files...and VITO copy paste for eg)
6) any good messenger apps which let me connect to gtalk/msn/yahoo all through the same application?
7) do i need to install adobe flash player lite in order to play .swf files over the net?
thanks
Please bear with me, as this is my first windows mobile phone and I'm not all too familiar with it.
First problem is, tapping "Launch Browser" on the Internet tab does not work. After thinking about it for a while, I realized that the Opera browser was not installed on my device! Now, as far as I know, it should come already in all devices. So, I downloaded the Opera 9.5 browser off their website. How can I set it up so when I tap "Launch Browser" on the Internet tab, Opera 9.5 will automatically run? Currently tapping it still does nothing.
Second is, I've been hearing about this "Windows" folder in the HTC Touch Pro. I can't seem to locate this. When I browse for it with my computer, the name of the TP's "hard drive" is "\", and then I see the following folders:
Application Data, ConnMgr, Content, Documents and Settings, Music, My Documents, Program Files, cemail (hidden file), pim
Is this root folder the "Windows" folder?
Third thing is, in the "Programs" tab in TF3D, there's this icon there that when I press (looks like the default icon for a folder in Vista), it gives me an error. It says "The file 'wt5jetpr' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."
There we go, that's all. Thank you, if you've read this far.
I can't help with the Opera thing but as for your Windows folder, it's a system file and hidden. You will have to unhide it in your Vista/XP operating system before you can see it using your PC>
You see, I already enabled the viewing of hidden folders. There aren't any other items other than the ones I listed.
EDIT: I tried creating a folder called "Windows" and Vista tells me I can't, because a folder of the same name already exists.
That's weird.. hidden folders are already enabled and I still can't see it.
Hiya, i'm a bit of a noob myselft with regards to wm6.1 so for the opera issue i dont think i could be much help with that same with the file that wont delete so i hope someone else will answer that, to see ur windows folder though when the phone is connected to the pc open up explorer on ur pc and click on tools/folder options then click on view and make sure either the "hide protected operating system files" box is unchecked &/or the "show hidden system files box is checked and this should let you see the windows folder.
Hope this helps.
EDIT: looks like someone already answered in the time it took me to type that, my own fault for multitasking ...

Same thing as you, when I browse to the device from Windows Explorer.
However, if I go to Tools - Folder Options - View tab and I select "Show hidden files and folders", the Windows directory is displayed.

By the name, it looks like it is JetCet Print 5.
Strange you have these errors. Do you use a custom ROM?
PS: been too slow to answer too. but at least the answers match ;-)
I'm not using a custom rom =\. The rom came with my device.
It's:
1.90.405.1.WWE
It's a HTC Touch Pro T7272
Then I advise you to do a Hard Reset. Opera and JetCet print should be there, and should not give you any certificate errors.
I advise you to read a lot these forums, gather as much info as you can, and experimenting with your device. You have a powerhouse in your hands, you know? you have unlimited possibilities. Any questions should you have must be asked.
Alright, I'll give that a try tomorrow after the day's gone so I have lots of time to figure things out.
Sorry for the double post, but I figure this message won't get read if I simply edit my last post.
Anyways, I hard resetted the device and I got Opera and that printing program working! Thanks creiz.
Just one last thing I'm trying to figure out.. is there any way I can get a custom alarm ring tone without downloading a program? (I'm trying to avoid having to do that if possible)
Hi Guys,
I am having a problem at the moment. When I try and open a URL that ends in .jpg, Internet Explorer Mobile wants to download and open it. I want the image to simply open in Internet Explorer Mobile. It can obviously render images, as it does it all the time, but seemingly not when the URL ends in .jpg.
I tested the link on a desktop version of IE and it didn't ask to download, it just showed the image, which suggests to me it is not using "Application/Force-Download". I am going to try on another mobile web browser like Opera.
Does anybody know why this is? Or, is there a registry tweak to fix it? Thank you everyone for any information you can provide. It will help me greatly with a project I am working on.
PS I have "View Images" turned on in Internet Explorer Mobile, so that is not the problem.
i'm not so sure this is a problem.
which internet explorer are you using?
I think the new internet explorer shows images rather than downloading them.
Thanks for your reply. I have gotten around the problem by putting the link (it's static) inside a blank html page. Works perfectly now. Cheers!
i'm sorry, but what did you do before? tried to put the link in a PIE window with a website already loaded?
Sorry, let me be very specific:
I needed to get PIE to load an image inside the web browser, simple as entering the URL address and up comes the image.
However, PIE won't do that (could be a VGA problems specific to Imate phones I heard). Instead it asks if you want to download it, which I don't.
So, to fix the problem I have written a html page that basically says:
<html><head>
<Src img="www.website.com/June/Image.jpg">
</head></html>
Using this way, the image is forced to open inside PIE.
I needed it for a mod I am making for HTC Home and Manilla 2D.
Oh.. i thought you just put it inside a blank PIE window instead of one already loaded with a webpage.. hehe
good to know then.
the new PIE loads images regularly tho, doesn't download them.
cheers
Youtube App: "Connection Failed" on HTC Diamond 2 and some general Questions
Hi, I just bought my HTC Diamond 2 [Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro] last month and the Youtube App is the one that is pre-installed on my phone.
My carrier is At&t and the connection is EDGE.
My problem is when I open the youtube app, I get the message: "Warning: Connection failed. Please try again." I checked that my internet is working because I can browse different sites through Opera and I can still update the weather. I found out that youtube app works perfectly fine ONLY when my diamond2 is connected to my laptop via ActiveSync. As soon as I disconect it, the message returns and the videos in my history will not load anymore.
I searched the forum for similar problems and had tried opening Internet Explorer etc with no success. I don't think anyone mentioned that their youtube app actually worked [ONLY] when it's connected to a pc. Please help! I want to use it on the go, not when I'm near my laptop.
Some general questions:
I had no success in trying to increase Window Opera's max tab to 5 (the default is at 2!!!) through opera:config [this thing will not save!!] The other option is to copy the opera.ini file from \windows\opera9 directory to the pc and manually change it. How do I get to "windows" from my pc? I see it when I go to File Explorer from my phone but when I connect my phone to the pc via ActiveSync, I do not see the "Windows" file in my laptop. If it's hidden somehow, how do I unhide it? If not how do I get to this file?
The second question I have is how do I get to the registry of the phone?
This Diamond2 is my first smartphone so I'm extremely new to Window Mobile and pocket PC's in general. Just want to say that I'm grateful for all the stuff I learned from exploring this forum. Any additional help is also appreciated.
anyone? about my youtube problem?

For Youtube : Go to Settings > Connections Tab > Connections (Again ^^) > Advanced > Select Networks, and be sure you have choose the right DATA connection to connect.
For Opera : You have to be sure you click "Save" on opera:config, when you click on a sub-section, it deploys the section, and at the bottom of the section you have "Save".
By the way, if you want to access to your Windows directory (for another thing, soft), install Total Commander on your diamond2 (Google it). Or with your PC : If you have XP, open an explorer, Tools (on the top) > Folders Options > go to the second TAB and search the option to display all folders.
(For Vista/Seven : Organize > Folder & Search options. On an explorer window.)
For the registry, you can access to the registry with TotalCommander, or an another soft (with more functionnality) : PHM Regedit (Google it )
If you have others questions.
Hi, I've found my answers for those general questions by searching through this and other forums. But thanks anyway for answering them.
Back to youtube, I still have no success in getting this thing to work. What do you mean by "choose the right DATA connection to connect"? When I am in "Select Networks," I have a list of choices: My ISP name, MEdia Net, AT&T ISP, My Work Network, and My ISP. It is in MEdia Net when I first went in and MEdia Net seems to be the only connection that allows me to get online, all the others failed when I changed to it. I guess that's the right DATA connection to connect?
Then it's the same situation with that youtube App, I can go online but I get this error message when I open the youtube app.
Again I'm in the US, with AT&T's EDGE data connection. Thanks.
hum i don't know! have you a stock ROM or a custom? if it's a custom try to know on the ROM topic if any similar problem appear.
Do you use any proxy settings for your data connections? you don't have result with search on XDA?
My rom is not custom, it's whatever it is when I bought the phone. And no proxy setting. Searched the forum, found some youtube "connection failed" threads but it's either a different problem and got fixed or I tried the solution with no result.
Right now I think I will search for another wvga youtube player and install that, see if a different one works.
bump* I was searching the forum and didn't find this solution posted anywhere so I chose this thread to post the solution (at least it worked for my Tilt2 Rhodium).
I had the problem with my Tilt2 (Rhodium). See if yours has this:
Go to Start-Tools-Proxy Manager-Disable Proxy
After I ran that cab file (Disable Proxy) the Youtube app worked.
I have a HTC Diamond "1" with the same problem. After selecting a clip to watch I get the same message.
Unfortunately, I can't find a "proxy manager" on my settings.
So any other suggestions? Thanks.
I also have this issue on my Rhodium. There is no "proxy manager" setting anywhere I've seen on the device. Plus, my YouTube app doesn't even have accessible settings.
Im having a very similar issue but my youtube app opens displays todays top videos or whatever and it also searches and displays the results but when i tap to watch a video it just sits there loading until it finally says connection failed. I think a simple reinstall of the app would fix the issue but I cant find the cab anywhere except the new app which has horrible video quality but it works lol.
I have searched quite thoroughly, both on this forum and wider, for a solution to this. I may be being thick, but...
When I've installed (to either the device or the SD card ) Resco Explorer I get "this is not a valid pocket pc application" when I try to run it. I've tried running it from the start menu shortcut and from the application icon in Program Files.
Would really appreciate help with this as I am unable to do any of the nice HKLM tweaks out there without Resco Explorer.

Sounds like you may have downloaded an incorrect version. Can you give us a link to where you got it from?
Well its not exactly an official source, if you see what I mean. I dont mind paying for the application, if it proves to be useful and easy for me to use. Until then I guess Im a bit stuck then.
Ive tried .cab of the 2010 beta and the 2008 "rescoexploreren_p.exe" app, installed via the PC.
You can download a free trial of Resco, but I'd recommend Total Commander. It's not as finger friendly as Resco, but it's certainly more wallet friendly (as in, it's free )
You can Google it or find it on here.
on my leo, resco file explorer 2010 runs without a problem. so i think it's because of your 'source' why it's not running on your device.
try the official demo or search for better "source". but first be sure not having downloaded a virus (actually infecting your pc)
On my HD2 Resco Explorer 2008 running without any problem, downloaded from resco.net and installed via pc.
