ProgrammeA connection failure :o(

Hi,
I have updated my O2 XDA ROM ver 3.something to 4.00.16 T-Mobile(withProgrammA) and sence then I am unable to update it anymore. The Active sync is working fine with the USB connection, but the ProgrammeA is saying: error getting connnectiontype. I have try it on 2 different computers under w2k and wxp, the problem was the same.
I would like to upgrade it cos is frosing dayly, and the xda-developers ROM was better )))
Thanks, all the best
Have you tried going back to your original rom, then going from there?
Hi,
The ProgrammeA thus't connect a cannot update the ROM how can I go back to the original ROM ?
I know about bootable SDCard but I would prefer not to use it, so I check up for other possibilities :?

Active Sync problem?
Hi Flare,
I don't know if this will be the case for you but have observed connection issues between updates with ActiveSync ver 4.71. I found that I needed to TOTALLY remove, not upgrade / downgrade ActiveSync then re-install the original from your CD [probably ver 4.5]
If you don't have it you need to try and get it, because while it provides other problems of its own in connection messages it appears more robust in file transfer.
If you cannot adequately remove AS 4.71 then you need to delete the folder under program files and start again.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
David
According to the notes on the ROM Kitchen, you can't update from 4.00.10 or 4.00.16 using Programme A. What you can do, however, is cook an .nb1 file and put it onto an SD Card and use the bootloader. Of course this will require a 32 MB SD card and an appropriate USB or PC Card reader to get the new ROM onto the SD card.

SMS backup-getting SMS Export tool (yorch.net) working?

HI together, :?
I`m new in this forum and found it because I have a issue I don`t get rid of. I have 2500 sms messages on my xda and want to sell it to get a new one. My problem is I don`t want to delete my whole sms messages as there are so many important one I can`t delete as I need them documented.
I installed now the SMS Export tool from yorch.net as I red in this forum here that I should be able to get this done with this tool.
Problem is that I´m not able to get it done successfully.
1. I downloaded the tool and installed it from my PC over Active Sync on my xda.
2. I can see the SMSExport.vce file in my root folder on my xda
3. I can see the VICERT.vce and Visual CE.unload file under /windows
Problem is now that I need asistance how I can use the tool now ?
1. If I start the VICERT.vce file I get the msg "Run VisualCE.exe to create a form"
2. If I run Visual CE.unload file as I don`t see a exe I get the msg that there is no application assigned to the file?
3. If I riun the SMSExport.vce file I get a programm called SMS Export Utility in front of me where I don`t know how to handle to get the sms messages on my local PC.
My aim is to read the sms messages on my local pc (word or txt file) and burn it as backup on a cd.
I would really appreciate any help as I spent hours already on this topic and I`m not smart enough to get it done.
Thanks in advance...
I faced the same problem, I've searched all over this forum, but until late, I used this software : Smart Phone Studio (http://smartdev.51.net/)
It lets you save all your SMS from phone to PC, and you can also save them on text files with nice formatting :wink:
You can also backup SMS from your device, and restore them from the PC at anytime you want!!! :lol:
ah I forgot to tell that it also works for XDAs, regardless of its name

Do you have the program on your local machine to send it to me via email ? I`m not able to download the program as there is no version available at the moment ...
I'd appreciate a copy as well if possible.
Oops! its not available on the site & its not free anymore!!!!!
But don't worry, I will send u a copy of it when I come back home..
Ok, here is the file..
Simple steps to run it:
1. Change your PC date to March 2004.
2. Copy SPStudio.exe to your PC & run it.
3. Copy CommMan.exe to your pocket PC & run it.
4. Just click on the buttons at the left panel to access your SMS messages & use FILE menu to export/import messages.

I've recently found a software which synchronizes you SMS with MS Outlook! SMS Sync for Outlook:
http://www.v2r-advanced.com/SMSSync.html
I wonder why Microsoft does not support synchronize SMS with ActiveSync, much like emails :?
I've found a new software which transforms your SMS messages into emails, which then can be easily synchronized with the PC

download source for spstudio (expiring by april 2004)
after some browsing the web i have found an alternative download source for the famous spstudio:
http://www.coolsmartphone.com/cooldownloads/SPStudio.zip
you probably have to register at coolsmartphone.com (its for free) before you are allowed to download files.
also consider the hints given above (setting back the date of your pc to march 2004 etc.) for getting the tool working.
enjoy

help...
i am also desperately trying to backup valuable sms. unfortunately i need to back them up since i need to reset my device cause active sync is no longer working ..BIG PROBLEM...i cannot use any of the above tools without active sync.
any ideas how i can get the sms off my MDA without active sync???
thanks
woody
Since your active sync is not working, you can try to backup your files to SD card (use Sprite Backup or anything else to do so) and then you can hard reset your device safely..
Make sure it is the latest version of sprite backup, that software caused nightmares for me, after restoring I could not recieve or send sms so please be sure you get the latest fixed version.

if you can find it as a cab file you can copy it to your sdcard and run it from your xda
SMS Sync Outlook
Hello, Regarding the SMS Sync Outlook...one of the requirements was having Outlook 2003. I still use Outlook 2002, does it matter? Don't really want to upgrade to 2003 yet as there might still be some bugs. Any thoughts anyone?
Thanks,
Bree :?:
Hi Bree (Kabayan?)
I am using Outlook 2003 for several months and as of this moment no problems or bugs yet.

attachments not syncing with activesync

Hi all,
I'm a newbie to this all but have updated my O2 with Sin's merged files. Well done, Sin! Excellent stuff. But I have one prblem that maybe someone can tell me how to fix:
When syncing the updated O2 with Microsoft Outlook 2003 on my PC (using the USB cradle), all mail attachments do not sync onto the O2 and a conflict message appears on Activesync against Inbox. If I move the e-mails from my (PC) Outlook Inbox folder to nother folder within Outlook, the conflicts message disappears. If I move the e-mails back into the Outlook Inbox folder, the conflct message returns.
Can anyone help me please?
open activesync
press tools
press options
click inbox
press settings
look if it's set to include file attachments
Hi Rudegar,
Yes, I had checked that and the "include file attachments" is checked.
Attachment not syncing or downloading
I deleted database pmailAttachs and it helps :

Can you tell me where is the file?
My problems is after selecting a file to attach, it prompted the error message I mentioned earlier that no files could be attached at all. The files cannot be viewed under your device's File Explorer. But if you explore your device from the PC, you'll see an additional folder called Databases where you cannot add/edit/delete. I had to download a tool called Pocket dbExplorer.

Thanks Zoran, will give it a try.
Hi Guys
Please can you let me know how you fixed this problem I am having the same issue with the same ROM I belive.
I have tried removing the attachment database and this did fix the sync issue but I still cannot open any attachments now :-(
Many thanks!

emails on MicroDrive?

Hi Guys, I have a problem with making my Athena WM6 sync emails on the MicroDrive instead of the Storage.
I checked the box on the Massenger but doesn't seem to change anything, regardless of restarts and changing the subfolders to sync (takes ages). Anyone delt with this already?
thnx in advance
Hi, the mail client don´t let you change the destination of the mails only the attachments but I have tried to redirect them to the microdrive and it did not work.
I found this place
http://www.tleone.com/windows-mobil...ve-email-and-attachments-to-storage-card.html
I followed the instructions there and I could redirect the mails and the attachments to the memory card, I haven´t tried yet to send them to the microdrive but I guess that we only must change the path to aim to the microdrive instead to the storage card.

[Consolidated] Evernote blank notes

Update: Fix found thanks to EmporerBen @ the Evernote Forums.
Replace the \Windows\webview.dll file on your phone with the one in the zip file attached to this post.
[Original post]
I've started this thread to try and get to the bottom of a bizzare issue with the Evernote WinMo application on 6.5.5.23xxx builds.
Evernote is (usually) an excellent, free note-taking application that syncs to the web. You can sign up for a free acount [here]
The issue is that in newer builds of Windows Mobile 6.5.5, you can't see the contents of any of any notes. They all show as blank.
The notes show fine in the list and thumbnails view, but not when they're opened to view the whole note.
The issue is present on multiple devices and from multiple ROM chefs.
From my research, I think I've narrowed the first report of the issue down to build 23519 or there abouts.
Older, builds work fine. I've confirmed build 6.5.5.21895 (the one with the start button still at the top) works.
---------------------------
I've tested this on my own device, an HD2 and found:
Not working:
Energy.Leo.23544.Sense2.5_with_Cookie_HomeTab.Mar.11
Energy.Leo.23544.Sense2.5_with_MaxManila.Mar.11
Energy.Leo.23544.Sense2.5.Mar.11.7z
Working:
Energy.Leo.21895.Sense2.5.Mar.11.7z
Energy.Leo.21895.Sense2.5_with_Cookie_HomeTab.Mar.11
Energy.Leo.21895.Sense2.5_with_MaxManila.Mar.11
---------------------------
Evernote have said that the issue is because the newer builds use Opera as the default browser, but this is not true.
Both sets of ROMs have Opera 10 (beta 3 I think) set as the default browser, and Evernote works on the v21895 ROMs, regardless if the default browser setting is IE or Opera.
I've logged a support issue (I'm a payed member) with Evernote, and the issue is being discussed in their forums as well.
Does anybody have any ideas about either a fix or troubleshooting this further?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Just wanted to second this
I have been enjoying the crap out of this new build, and then......No evernote.
Evernote is like, the App that i use most heavily.
Seems i have to scoot back down to the 219 build unless someone has some insight.
Thanks,
Just echoing this, it's a big problem ... Works fine in pre-6.5.5 releases.
Does anybody have a link to download for WM? I tried several times and it doesn't work at all.
EmporerBen found the solution here:

Updated OP with fix
I am not able to paste webview.dll into the windows directory. I tried using Resco and still I am not able to backup a copy of the original file or paste the new version into the directory.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
If someone can make it into a cab file that will work (i.e. will automatically update the dll for you without you having to get too clever).
I think (not tested it!) this is a cab file containing the updated webview.dll:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624465
but that's certainly what the thread suggests and I've checked out the setup.xml in the cab file - <characteristic type="webview.dll" translation="install">
The problem for those who are using WM6.5.x ROM's and have webview.dll stored in ROM, is that it's unable to replace the file with older one.
Found an ugly but effective solution to resolve this issue without reflashing.
1. Download webview.dll from the first post.
2. Rename downloaded webview.dll for example as webvie1.dll.
3. Put it in the Windows directory.
4. Open your favorite registry editor (I use SKTools Lite), find entries with webview.dll and change them to webvie1.dll.
5. Soft reset.
It works for me on ETEN Glofiish x610 with cooked WM6.5.3 ROM and resolved problems with Evernote Mobile and Blade WiKi.
(sorry for my english)
