Can anyone tell me if there is a way to default Pocket Outlook to display First Name, Last Name.
I have set all my contact on the PC to First, Last, but if I create a new contact on the XDA or I edit the name of any contact on the XDA it reverts to Last, First.
I have tried this on a Dell Axim X5 (PPC2003) and this seems to be the same.
Thanks
Matt
Yep got that same prob!! But I got around it by saving the contact to SIM then copy to phone and from there add any additional details.
Hope this helps.

If anyone has an easy answer to this one, I'd be very pleased.
I've been fighting with this one for months.

This will work but as soon as you edit any part of the name in the address book it reverts to Last, First again and you have to repeat the process again!
When you sysn to Outlook 2002/XP go to contact select the contact name you want to edit their is an option called "File as" which is drop down menu. it will display the First AND Last Name . Save AND Close repeat step for other contacts.
Hope this helps :wink:
This doesn't help when you add a new contact on the XDA, it files it LAST, FIRST, until you get a chance to sync the XDA and change it back in Outlook.

Oh boy, my favorite Pocket Outlook annoyance, one of many, since I use the GroupWise 6.5 client with IntelliSync to synchronize. What can I say: masochism, a way of life?
Anyway, I solved it by cutting the last name and appending that to the first name for all (250-300 ) my contacts. Only takes one night and is a real good practise for getting used to the touchscreen.
I have searched on a lot of forums, and only 1 tip can be read time after time: get a different PIM, even if you don't have the issue we're discussing right now.
Really, why Microsoft didn't put an option to change the View in there will probably never cease to amaze me :shock:

I understand your point but it all depends how often you sysnc your XDA and use Outlook 2000/XP as you PIM . Well it's one soultion..... :?

The best solution for me is to change all contacts to First Name only containing all full name, but as I am a lazy software engineer I wrote some software to do it. I also wrote it to change any (UK) mobile number it finds to +44 at the start so the caller ID appears when then send sms.
I don't have an ftp site so if anyone wants to e-mail me I can send them a copy - runs on the PC with Office 2000 or greater installed and you can preview what changes it will do before altering anything.
Usual disclaimer applies - Don't blame me and make a back up of your contacts in Outlook before you start.

The ROMkitchen now offers theft protection in ROM
Thanks to Charles Warner, who answered our call for a coding volunteer, we now have an advanced theft protection system. It's called IIWPO, which stands for Interesting Interactions With the Previous Owner.
Simply go to the ROMkitchen and create a ROM with the theft protection feature turned on. Enter your name as you will enter it in the 'Owner Information', and a GSM number of a friend that you want to send the messages to.
Then when someone steals your phone, they probably want to either change the name of the owner, or cold boot the phone altogether. Either way, the device detects that the owner name doesn't contain your name at the next wakeup, and sends one or more SMS messages to the number you set. In the best case, the new 'owner' provided address and all other relevant information. If he/she didn't, at least you have the new phone number of your phone.
How it works:
Registry settings:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\XDA-developers\IIWPO]
Owner: set to owner name device is tied too (this is the master check, won't send a sms if user changed to this one)
LastOwner: set to owner name device is tied too (this one changes as the user name changes, simply to detect changes)
ReportNumber: set to phone number to report changes too.
Files:
IIWPO_main.exe goes in \windows
IIWPO_startup.exe goes in \windows\startup
it sends one of two text messages if the owner details are changed, if they are set to "nothing", then it sends :-
"Name not set, will pick up details if user changes name again"
if the name is filled in it sends :-
"Name : <user name> (<company name>), email : <email address>, phone : <phone number>" this string is guaranteed less than 160 characters.
if the Address will fit in the same text message, it is appeneded as ",Add : <address>", otherwise a seperate text message containing the address is sent.
what if they were to cold boot it? wouldnt that erase the s.w? or is it in the rom?
also what if they put a sim in with no cred?
lmk cheers
gaz
If you read the article carefully, you would know... It's directly on the first line: "The ROMkitchen now offers theft protection in ROM" 8)
If they put in a SIM with no credit, no SMS will be sent, I think... :shock:

It will send as soon as it can...
By other words - when the Thief buys a new credit :lol:
This is amazing. Well done once again!!!
I have one additional suggestion. Please see http://www.psiloc.com/?id=prod&nrp=53 for a cool application running on Symbian. If one has access to similar APIs on the XDA to get cell info it would be trivial to include location data in the SMS message sent when the device is stolen. This way it could be actually possible to locate it.
And a question, when the SMS is sent by this hidden process does it still generate Message Sent baloons? It would be good if it did not. Thanks for all your efforts.

We don't yet have an easy way to get the location data without doing really weird things. (ROM 3.19.x GER has it, but it's not easily transplanted to other ROMs). Work is in progress though...

It doesn't. You get to be the first to tell the new 'owner' about the feature.
do u have to re flash ur rom......or can this be integrated into existing roms....without re flashing....if so....what files and reg settings nessecary..
Great idea.....well done!

You need to flash the ROM.
I am a little confused about how this works. I went to jeffs kitchen, cooked a rom with the anti theft featur, but it didnt ask any questions of me. I have now flashed the rom to the XDA, am I missing something?

Try setting the owner name to something other than your own name you set in the kitchen, make the device go to standby, wake it up again, and see if your friend gets the SMS.
I maybe didnt read in the kitchen all the details, I wasnt asked for my owner details there, when the kitchen gets rebuilt I will make a return visit.
Theft Protection
All this assumes of course that the thief hasn't heard about XDA-Developers and the means to flash ROMs

Yep. IIWPO builds on the assumption there are significantly more people that do not know about its existence than people that do. It builds on SBO: Security By Obscurity, which is usually not a very good concept for security design. But it is adequate in this circumstance, given that it's very hard to build something which would be secure against a knowing attacker without modifying the hardware or messing with bootloader and OS in such a way that the attacker cannot load a new OS. But then the attacker could just use JTAG. And even if he she could not: given the cheap supply of units with broken screens which are incredibly expensive to fix, the screen is by far the most valuable part.
Ive cooked a 4.00.05 Rom with this feature.
Ive checked and confirm that the following are installed:
\Windows\IIWPO_main.exe
\Windows\IIWPO_startup.exe
\Windows\StartUp\IIWPO_startup.exe
And In The Registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\XDA-developers\IIWPO\
LastOwner MY Name
Owner My Name
ReportNumber Friend's Mobile No.
To test:
I changed the owner name in Settings\Owner Information to a different name and then

xda developers...I think the theft protection is not working now in the kitchen??
is there something which could be done to get it up again?? I really love this feature...
when i reset my xda it sent a text to my dad as i have his number on it...
but now it doesnt send none at all i changed it to my name then i decided um i want to try it out to see if it works so i put in noddy and pressed ok but no text :| so i restarted the xda and it still didnt send no text so i just put it back to normal and left it at that :\

it performs its checks on wakeup, I am unsure if soft-reset (what I figure you mean by restarted) would trigger the check. Change your name to noddy, turn it off, and turn it back on again.
I've had my device running at least a month now without hard reset, and just changed name to noddy, turned it off, and back on again, and it sent the relevant text message.
If you are sure it isn't working email me at [email protected] and we'll find out what the problem is.

please can anyone help me i forgot my lock screen password it's the numerical password and i can't access my data.
please how can i bypass it or get back into my phone. I really need my data i can't live without them.
P.S: still on stock rom the phone is not rooted.
keep enter the wrong password a few more times then the google password screen will pop up allowing yo to by-pass the lock screen.
once you have access to your phone change the password to something you will remember or write down for the future and put is somewher safe.

^^ This.
Plus, next time use proper topic title that gives a description of topic for people browsing forum. This gives people an idea of what topic is about at a glance and you're likely to get more views and possibly more help. Leaving idiotic titles like "helpp neededd" and "hlp plz" and "help me" etc are generic non-descriptive titles and frankly an insult to forum.

Does Whatsapp does senders IP address get stored with the message received, like IP addresses are stored with email headers?
If this is not the correct forum, I apologize and please move to correct one. Also thanks for all replies
Whatsapp doesn't store it but your phone does

Did you write "netstat" or "nestat" like you posted it?
I tried it on Android 4.1.2 and it showed me a lot of IPs.
But why my phone should know the ip of the sender, if the message goes about Whatsapp's server?

Because it forwards their ip address to you and not theirs.
spacebast said:
Ok. I traced all the shown adresses but the results point only to the US (should be Germany).
Is Whatsapp using HTTP or other protocoll? So i could select by shown protocolls. Thx.

Hello!
I have the same issue: all addresses point to the USA instead of Morocco , except two pointing to Ireland, but there are other ip addresses using port 80, leading to Ireland too, so it's quite confusing.
spacebast, you're mentioning port 5222 ? is it the port i should be looking at? i was focusing on 443 for whatsapp
Thanx everyone
could anyone help me, my phone has hacked and the hacker talked to me on whats app
and he showe me all my stuff
i need to know how he is, but i just have his number from another country
plz any one help me to know his place or ip

My questions are simple
I have a friend who was playing an Android game
Dragons of Atlantis heirs of the dragon... Yesterday he played like normal, logged in, logged out... Everything was OK...
But today at 4am someone else logged in his account and deleted everything... Approximately 17000 $ of stuff bcuz you know gamers spend money some times...So is there a game bot, or exploit that breaks that game to find out emails and password? Bcuz that happened...So if anyone knows how to trace that sort of thing from my device let me know...However I don't have a computer just a phone but please reply to private MSG thanks

Man that happens when you download an application from another web and not from play store it's a very simple exploit that they made for u, you can trace maybe if your account it's from Gmail there is a option that can bring the IP and the location of your logs, and a recommendation, you should made more stronger your password and add your number phone to your email address to have more security, for now change your password this would fix that little hackers.
didn't answer my question
How do u find out the IP. Address. Of who used the email account. Besides the. Owner? I would do it myself but I can't help him...i don't. Have pc

Hey bro.
Isn't so difficult tracing back an IP address an email and some passwords by haltering an app.
First of all, as rjcreations saied change email password with a safer one.
Then, make sure next time to download by trusted source like Play Store.
At the end, I can suggest you, after having changed password, send an email to the game devs explaining what's going on your account and see what reply you will obtain.
Ah and make sure to scan twice with MalwareBytes and AVG free (or Avast if you think it's better). Those ones work like a charm
(with you I mean your friend obv, but these advice are the standard ones)
I hope best wishes for you and say to your friend to take care next time
ok
That advice I gave to him already before the first response...just from what I know...
But he thinks that the person who got into his game was from California and he lives in Texas...but he said that the person in California. Has been trying to get him to quit game...and I didn't know that he had given out his login info to one person...so either that did it or they gave out info...i know there's three levels of security...but not sure how. To do it on phone.
He can't change password. According to dev...not yet...so I don't know
