PPC2002 software compatibility with PPC2003/ XDA Dev 1.2

Hi there again,
I've been doing a lot of reading and searching through the forum and I now understand a lot more about my XDA - luvverly...
But I have a couple of questions - I have looked I promise but I can't find anything.. If I've missed something please forgive me !
This is all based on the fact that I still haven't upgraded the ROM to 1.1 or PPC 2003 (I'm kind of waiting for 1.2! - looks exciting!).. Yes I know I should, but are these problems common to standard PPC 2002 and will get fixed or are there other answers ?
1) Is PPC 2002 software that I install compatible with PPC 2003 ? I've got a shedload of freeware that states PPC 2002 only - is it a case of it's just untested ?
2) Program stopping - this is a major pain, when I cradle the unit and ActiveSync kicks in, it errors with "unresolved" if I have programs running.. so I have to go into memory etc and stop everything before I cradle it... I'm still not sure I understand the concept of keeping the progs open when I've exited them - can anyone help me here ? Is it like having a service in NT ?
Sorry for all of the questions, I know I should upgrade, but I like to understand why I'm upgrading first, so I'd really appreciate any help you can give.
Oh and my number port still hasn't happened.............. :evil:
Well don't all rush at once :lol:
I've sorted the brightness thing - it's to do with the background picture still being selected when I added a new theme... fairly basic stuff I realise..!
For Q1)
Most PPC2003 APP compatible with PPC2002, however some of them will cause fatal error on the machine -- Such as BatteryPack 2003 5.05 (or any version earlier). The machine will never bootup after installed the 5.05 version, except a hard-reset.
Another other example that didn't work with PPC2003 is Call2Pic, but we can use PhoneExt 1.2, which is a freeware and more powerful (if only for ringtone). XDA Phone skin chooser, Double Launcher, VITO Voice Dialer PE 2.5 work too.
By the way, all games I tried are compatible with PPC2003. Almost all media player work perfectly with PPC 2003 too, except PocketMVP.
I think it is a very good percentage of compatible software for a new OS update.
Lotus EasySync Pro doesn't work.
Just a note to add to the list. EasySync Pro does NOT work under 2003. It's what forced me back to XDADev 1.1 since I have to be able to Sync with my Lotus Notes system at work.

excellent news - thanks chaps !!
I'm clearly in the presence of people that are far more knowledgable than I, and although I wouldn't claim to be a developer I do know my way round a unix box and also work with high-end music apps (unique wav files anyone?) so I'll be glad to offer any assistance I can, whilst learning the more intricate aspects of this wonderful machine...
cheers again...
Novosec Pocket Facelift works but has problems witht he skinned taskbar. sux cuz its a nice taskbar. other than that its fine.

Clock screwed up on my T-Mobile PPC phone

Over the last two weeks the clock on my T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone has gotten a little bit behind and now it is about 20 minutes behind which is obviously no good! I can not just adjust the time because it obtains the time from a satelite or whatever, not from an internal setting on the phone. Any ideas on how I can fix this?
1. Make it synchronize the clock on ActiveSync connection.
2. Deactivate all other synchro options (internet, satelite...).
PS: I'm really interested in how you obtain satelite settings! :?:
How do I do the second point you made?
As for the satelite thing, it is late. You know how it is!
I mean if you use any additional software that has this function - weather Today plug-ins, gps, some web pages allow to do so... As far as I know OS can not do it by itself.

google knew
OS can not do it by itself...
yeah i know just posted an url to a program which would sync
then of cause one may want to make sure that it dont sync the clock with the desktop clock if thats not sync'd
By the way, the program you posted might be useful!
The inly disadvantage is it's size. I expected it to be 100-200kb, but it has almost a meg!
Any alternatives?

world mate but thats even bigger about 2MB

this one is only 30k though
Thanx a lot!

Looking for HTC touchflo cab

Has anyone come across a HTC touchflo cab that works on Athena? Have been searching unsuccessfully for such a cab that works on wm6 and above. Anyone?
You Mean the rotating cube??
No I think he means the tochflo driver that is also in AP4 and AP5. Yes I would like it also.
I'm not interested in any today plugin, I think it is too limiting (for example there very limited program that you can launch) and would much much prefer using iLauncher Thumb together with SBSH pocket weather, spb time, and spb phone suite. I personally find the cube to be a troublesome gimmick that takes way too many swipes just to do something simple. Manila, or whatever it is, just slows the system down too much also, or at least this is my impression from the posting made by others.
What I want is only the equivalent of Ftouchflo, but with sound, and hopefully, does not mess up the Opera browser. I don't need all the swiping up, swimping down, swimping at the corner stuff. Just to scroll with thumb would do.
mmm
But for Athena esixt HTC CUBE ??
I don't Founf it
I have bought it 3 days ago, Flash it with AP DUAL 3.0
but with Tytn I was more fast to open music Photo and Video..
with htc cube
I have problem with htc Album, when I open It, after the 4th photo, automatly close i can' do nothing
With standar Photo & video I have no problem...

[Q] Spreadsheet entry

Hope this is OK, I'm reposting my general query here so maybe more Leo users will see it:
"I am considering changing from an HTC Blackstone to a Leo.
My worry is: with the Leo's capacitive screen is it possible to enter or change data in a spreadsheet accurately? The stylus entry with a Blackstone is fairly easy to do. I recently tried an Android phone and it was useless for this task, also the contacts program was not usable for my work needs.
Using Pocket Informant I can search for any item - town, phone number, address etc. So it seems I need a good Windows Mobile phone to do what I need for my work. I thought the Leo might be the last chance for me if I want something faster. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance,
Rick O"

First Impressions / How to make WP7 Perfect (perhaps)

I hope no-one minds but I got my Mozart yesterday and the only link that seems to talk about what is good and bad about it (here) hasn't had a new entry since November.
I also reckon that the Microsoft Developers know that xda-developers is the only place to go for sensible smartphone discussions and hopefully they will read this and make some changes.
I wasn't convinced that the Mozart would be better than my HD2 but actually....
Good:
Great Screen Resolution
Fast
Internet Explorer is better than I expected and the Pinch to Zoom is great
I like the start screen and the way the 3G signal gets out of the way
Bad:
No Comm Manager - switching on WiFi, Bluetooth, Flight Mode is a real pain
No Internet Sharing - AARRRRGGGHH!
Can't find my WiFi with hidden ESSID - GGGRRRRR!
No MyPhone Sync
I'm not sure I'm keen on the lock-down on apps - it's probably the only thing that will force me to Open Source Android.
I used gyrator2 to switch the screen off when I turned the HD2 vertically down - it saved on battery.
Thank goodness MS don't seem to have made WP7 into a steppingstone to a proper OS (like vista was to Win7!). The way I'm using it, it's the almost finished.
I'm hoping that someone will come up with a Comm Manager App. But I don't know about the other stuff.
Has anyone else got anything to add? What would make WP7 work better for you?
PS Please move this if it's duplicated elsewhere.
Thanks for the heads-up, just brought a Mozart today expecting delivery on Tuesday, I've come from the Android phones Galaxy S & X10 Mini, will be interesting to see how this shapes up against them.
anoyances
i also bought one and generally i think they realy solved the job doing a MS based phone that works. (i moved from a diamond2 with os6.5)
but what realy makes me angry is that i read in the commcersials and specs that i could use mp3 for ringtones (wich phones cant today anyway). but even if being a trivial requerent i would not go with out it.
now i realize that i can use mp3 - BUT ONLY IF I BUY IT FROM ZUNE WTF!!!!!
are they trying out the apple business plan?
im aware that i can "jail break" (where did i last hear about this.. og iPhone/apple) .. but i risk brickĀ“ing my phone and thats a bummer.
still realy nice phone.
a file handler would be nice though and some grouping functionality. the start screeen cannot collect all your messaging and mail in a single icon for access. you have to add evry single one of them in the shortcut list for ease of access.. thats anoying if you have 4 mail and text messaging like me.. grouping would rock..
another thing is "People" its a looker if you want to see contratct and facebook updates, byt anoying for phone contact list
and whats it with the contact list? you cannot sync with outlook only exchange serveres. otherwise you have to expose your full contact list on windows live or facebook to get it synced to your phone.
now i believe i should be paid for using my phone then.. they get to know me and all of my friends including phone info, full name, job detaisl address etc etc. thats something that valueable.. and i dont get to choose if i want to take part.. i want money Zune/HTC and Microsoft!
im semi pleased .. nice phone but realy creapy business methods
A week later....an update
I can see what you're saying js0937.
I'm not really into changing the ringtone but I did notice that you couldn't do it. I can't believe that it has to come from Zune - it does make Android seem very attractive!
I've coped with the Outlook / Live syncing by having a separate account for my contacts but it is a bit long-winded.
I'm waiting for the update (due in Jan 2011 but when??? we're already two-thirds through!) to see whether these problems get solved.
Given that I worked with winphone 6.5 for so long, winphone7 is still much, much better but I still want Internet Sharing and a Comm Manager

Update whill be soon (7 feb.?)
h..p://microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/features/update-info.aspx
Hoping the update sorts the voice dialing out as its rubbish compaired to 6.5. This is a big step back. Be nice to get more info of what the update will bring. Roll on the 7th, fingers crossed.
My 2 cents
Ye, here you have the list:
MUSTS (otherwise I will NOT use the phone for my business):
- Network sharing
- People view by company OR search by company
- copy paste OR use selected text as signature
- outlook categories (seriously!) sort/show calendar, ppl, by category
- tasks list
WANTS (It would be nice to have it):
- activesync with desktop (mailny notes, and such)
- messaging hub (it is enough to group it together in one tile displaying summary of all unread messages, no matter from where they come. It can link to selection screen, where I can pick the mail/messaging account).
- connect tasks with SharePoint lists
- see Active Directory coleagues callendars (or at least simple meeting assistant that shows free/busy for attendees)
- Remote Desktop Connection (it is a pity that having that screen I cannot connect to my virtual desktop if needed)
I am business guy, and always used WinMo as a nice tool. Now... I have waited so long for WP7 and I cant use it for work. I gave it to my Woman, and now I am considering other OSes...
Microsoft, you are pissing on your most loyal customer segment!
