Can somebody tell me how to beam a Word file from one XDA to another XDA? I have set all settings on both device correctly. However, nothing happens. The sender just shows a screen were it says that I have to align ports, which I do ofcourse. Please help
Goto Start, File Explorer, open My Documents and tap&hold on the file you
want to beam and select Beam File.
If the receiving party has "Receive all incoming beams" turned off under Start, Settings, Connections, they'll have to use the "Receive an infrared beam" under "Programs".
HTH
Thanks, but your suggested procedure I have already tried. I have tried all possible possible combinations. Nothing works. Also when I activate "Receive an infrared beam" the receiving XDA doesn't give any reply. It is almost if a XDA can't send to another XDA; if the IR doesn't work at all. I still hope somebody explain the trick to me. It is important for me to know how it works.
does the infrared works with other devices like a laptop or a pc with a usb->infrared ?
somebody said at once point that hvaing stuff connected like a keyboard would disable infrared support
That's right. The Keyboard driver seems to disable the IR port. Uninstall the driver and it should work.
I haven't installed a keyboard. So there is nothing to uninstall. Or do you refer to the preinstalled standard keyboards? They are in ROM so I can't unistall them. Is there another trick?
Thanks
If you installed the folding keyboard driver from the kitchen rom, it will initialise every boot and grab the com 1 port, I know because I couldnt get my gps working even with the beams setting turned off, however you can disable the driver, bearing in mind it will initialise again after a reset. I cant remember where to do this as I got rid 2003 and the problem was when I had it installed, I am pretty sure the option is there somewhere to disable it.
Darfon G7B0 foldable keyboard worked with Qtek 1010. Now with Qtek 2020 doesn't work anymore (please, dont suggest to turn off beaming because I know that and even if turning it off doesnt make the keyboard working).
I have discovered that on Qtek 1010 COM1: (used by default by the kbd driver) is managed by serial.dll while on Qtek 2020 is managed by com16550.dll
Maybe someone of the Team is able to cook a patch?
Thanks, byez
Did you solve that problem
Hi,
I have an Xda II and use a G7B0, Darfon, foldable keyboard. It worked before the upgrade of the Xda II software. Now, it doesn't anymore. Did you solve the problem? Could you tell me?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,

Darfon keyboard
Most likely you have activated the infrared com after the rom update. In order for the keyboard to work you need to untick the "Receive all incoming beams" and then activate the darfon keyboard. To find the tick box go to settings->connections->Beam.
Hope this solves your problem.
I have a big problem. I need conect my XDA with GPS. My ROM is 4.01.16 US. But when I start my GPS program, I see mesage, that COM1 port is in use by another application. If I reset my XDA problem is same. Under PPC 2002 (ROM O2) it worked without problem. But I would like use this under WM 2003. Can you help me, please ???

Thank you very much !!! Now it work correctly !!!

How you do this? There is only a under beams "receiev all incoming beams". Or where is an other place?
Uncheck the receive all incoming beams, that will release com1 for the other application.
Hi all,
First of all, thanks for all the hard work done by everybody and of course we have to praise ourselves to take the risk in upgrading these unofficial ROMs.
I would like to list all the problems and their solutions for this WM2005 ROM in this topic.
1. This is only for Himalaya. Don't think it is suitable for xdaIIs, mini or xdaIIi.
2. Activesync 4 is not working with USB. ---------- Work after disable fire wall!!!
3. Setting Memory lost problem e.g. set button to do other task, set backlight brightness to middle, set user name, word completion setting, etc. they will return to original after a softreset - seems okay now w/ the full RAM version
4. Of course the biggest issue is the RAM size, Program memory size, etc. too small. ----- okay now w/ the full RAM version.
5. No MSN messager.----- okay now w/ the full RAM version.
6. Can't sync word files, it will change to pwi and the Activesync conversion setting doesn't have the file type for doc.----- okay now w/ the latest activesync.
7. Extrom missing ----- Found as storage now by using extrom tool.
8. can't make regional setting to Chinese even after installing knife Chinese patch. Can read chinese in fie explorer but not wmp or PIE.
9. Does it work w/ backpack? i have the backpack and can see the extra power bar but cant use cf wifi card.
Pls reply with your solutions if you have.
Many thanks.
Cheers,
yeah, agree to the bugs..
but my active sync4 works... min requirements is xp sp2. Uninstall previous sync, install sync 4..
other problems in magneto:
no camera and record button.
active sync program cannot be stop in ppc
no mms
thinking of other..
tho.. i love this OS and can sleep with the "bugs" and can wait for til fixes will come out (just do softreset if hangs )
tnx xda-developers,buzz(2005 guru) and kababayans toenailed,jojo for helping buzz..
camera and record buttons work on mine.
1. call end button does not work.
2. re-dial malfunction: uses last call recieved instead of last number dialed.
reverted to 2003se briefly to use my bible today :wink:
will revert later

Many of the things you're stating are not quite valid. What you have is Windows CE 5.0, not Windows Mobile 2005. The added programs such as Messenger, camera app, Word etc. are all added programs that define Windows Mobile. You're working with just the core operating system right now. These are also things that I'm *sure* won't be overlooked when Windows Mobile 2005 goes live.

I have also noticed that the the date and time revert after a soft reset, this is resolved on sync. in addition i have had problems syncing with exchange server useing ssl. I generated a hole new set of certificates to do it, still no joy, though it work without it. I would like to test the GPRS if any one has the settings for O2 contract mobile web. I have not as yet been able to detect it with SMS server either. i lost my phone for a while too. other than that I love it!!
USB activesync
Here's my observation:
AS4 works on a PC with USB 2.0 port.
AS4 does not work on a PC with USB 1.1 port.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Good day to all of you!

Only with Win XP with all updates or does it works with W2K, too?
my PC
Btw, here's my PC specs:
>PC with USB 1.1 - runs Win XP Pro w/ SP2
>PC with USB 2.0 - runs Win XP Pro w/ SP2 also
I based my observations on that. I may be wrong. So if someone can successfully sync Magneto w/ AS4 running on Win XP SP2 on a USB 1.1 port, let us know. Thanks!
My workaround on not being able to sync w/ a USB 1.1 Win XP SP2 PC is to sync using bluetooth.
Hi all,
Activesync works fine for me usb1.1/usb2.0 and i've just test it in bluethooth mode and it works !!
ACtivesync can be stop from ppc but sometimes the action respond later.
Camera application works but is very slow.
The major problem is the memory, i've ever crash pocket outlook database with this problem.

active sync 4.0 problems
Hello Xpirate !!!
If it doesnot work try to reinstall Active Sync 4.o beacuse everyone gets problem with that because it is BETA version and during installation choose Repair. Then soft reset your computer and resync your device. If u have saved all your e-mail and contacts and appointments to your outlook then u can choose to delete partnership.
1. Open Active Sync
2. Choose File
3. choose delete partnership
make a sync and your problem is solved !!
MORE PROBLEMS
HI, from all the problems you have mentioned, i have only got
1 My camera and Rec buttons are not working.
2 of course there is very little memmory left for anything, just do "STOP ALL"
before doing something major. )
3. My date and Time resets on an irregular basis, not every soft reset though.
4. all the proggys seem to be working just fine, it's just that you have to
install some of them on to the DEVICE which takes our pressious space away.
5. NO LUCK WITH xBACKUP. Device just hangs. I have tried to copy .EXE file from 2003se, and simply override it but even that didnot help.
6. "AS4 will not stop in PPC" TOTALLY AGREE. VERY ANNOYING as it tend to eat some RAM.
THE REST LATER, IF SOMETHING COMES UP.
OH YES, FORGOT TO SAY THAT NO MATTER HOW MANY BUGS, I AM LOVING EVERY MOMENT TESTING THIS OS. ))
hi,,gays i have i have only one proplem that the device coluld'nt sync with the active sync 4 which is defirent of yours in my device the camera and record key working 100% (i dont know how it works in device and don work in other device and also syncing)
:roll: i think these depend on the perv ver of windows (i was using 2.20.07 chs and the devise could'nt sync but the camera and record works fine and the others whose devises could sync they may was using 2.06 or 1.72 rom :? :?
here's some more bugs
More bugs:
> When turning ON flight mode, it indeed shuts off the GSM radio BUT the Green LED still blinks for another 20-30 seconds then finally switches off
> Assuming flight mode is ON (GSM radio is off), there's no way you can turn OFF flight mode (turn on GSM radio) unless you perform a SOFT RESET
> Unable to set MIDI files as ring tones (midiringtone.cab is not installed, haven't tried installing it) but the GREAT thing is you can set .mp3 files as ring tones!
> Assuming power is off (nothing is displayed on screen), pressing the record button wakes up the XDA II (sometimes the record app launches then records, but after pressing "stop record" button, it records again then again then again...so you have to stop record app forcibly-"Stop All" in the memory app)
Why I cannot mark all contacts to beam them to my handsfree carkit at once via BT? I´ve got to mark every single contact, choose Beam, waiting for BT, sending, next contact. In this way, I was only able to send approximatly 2-3 contacts per minute. Any suggestions?
