Pocket Outlook 2003 hast gone Kaputt ! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a strange problem here, haven't seen it mentioned yet on the forums.
Calendar: creating and editing appointments gives "An unexpected error has occurred in this program".
Tasks: when I create a new task, it appears OK, but if I close and restart Tasks, the changes vanish! When I tick-off a task, I get the error "No program memory available".
Contacts: creating or editing contacts gives "No program memory available"
I am able to view entries without problems, but completely unable to create or edit...
There is plenty of memory available, 25MB storage + 50MB program. All other applications working ok, including Notes.
I have guessed that the problem might be in the Outlook databases.
I have tried:
1. Soft reset - no change
2. Restoring ROM backup - no change
3. Deleting the ActiveSync partnership and overwriting the device databases - no change
4. Hard reset - fixes the problem, But comes back as soon as I restore from ActiveSync backup. Sadly the only backups I kept were after the problem arose.
5. Deleting the Outlook databases using PHM PowerToys - but half of them I couldn't get rid of because "another application was using them", though apparently nothing else was running. Deleting the ones I could gave no change.
I DON'T want to do a hard reset and start again from scratch, because I lose a lot of data that will be hard to restore. E.g. a few very important progs that I haven't got the installers for, my SMS messages, the phone call history + timers, GPRS and network settings, and a huge number of program configurations, including photo contacts database, transcribe settings etc. (don't know of a way to back these things up).
I have an XDA2 (Himalaya/xscale/128MB) running PocketPC Windows Mobile 2003 Phone Edition. Please help! :x ผลบอลสด

A few issues

Hiya
Firstly, may I say what a great resource this forum is!! I've learnt a lot and I've only had the XDA for just under 2 months!
SMS storage, is anyone closer to finding out where this is stored? I have managed to locate the messages you send OUT in the windows\messaging folder, though it's only the actual text and doesn't contain any of the timestamped stuff etc. I cannot for the life of me find where the inbox for sms should be. I know others have had similar problems.
Cleartype, I have it enabled and it looks great, but it doesn't seem to appear everywhere. ie the Today screen. I did have a program (I think it might be Pocketblinds) but I found it unstable to the point where I would turn off the pda part, then back on again to find that the custom start menu icon had disappeared. Grrrr. Does anyone know a way to make cleartype effects appear on the today screen? I've tried putting a reg entry in various places of the registry for it but to no avail.
Also, if there is a way to bind together numbers and contact info for incoming SMS messages, presumably the same would apply for outgoing ones. Does anyone know of a program to do with sent items as sms_name by paragon does for inbox entries?
Thanks in advance

in the database 'pmailFolders' lookup the desired foldername,
then open that foldername as a database.
these folders have names like 'fldr10019e7', these likely different
on each machine.
This may seem a stupid question, as I say I'm new to the XDA and hope to start writing programs for it soon (I've been a programmer for a while but not in this style)....
how do I open it "as a database"? I've tried going into Databases and selecting it but i cannot drag it to the desktop or open it in file explorer on the phone.
Cheers
Anthony
If you are interested in enabling celartype (any many other enhancements) you should check pocket facelift.

Progams in StartUp, What do they do?

Dear All,
Does anyone know what do the programs in the StartUp Folder do?
I have just hard reseted my XDA-II and I found following links in this folder
1. AFlashMan.lnk
2. BPInsert.lnk
3. BTIcon.lnk
4. CFlashMan.lnk
5. CheckAutoRun.lnk
6. HandsFree.lnk
7. IA_Caller_ID.lnk
8. MMReg.
9. NFlashMan.lnk
10. poutlook.lnk
11. SMSReceiver.lnk
12. Socket SDIO WLAN.lnk
13. stk.lnk
14. TFlashMan.lnk
15. USSD.lnk
These links are relative to the executed programs in Windows folder with the same names, some of them I can guess for example
HandsFree-Support HandsFree Calling.
IA_Caller_ID-Identify the Caller in Contacts
SMSReceiver-Send and receive SMS
Socket SDIO WLAN-Support Card SD Wi-Fi
BTIcon - The Bluetooth Manager Icon at the bottom right.
But what do the others do?? (What do the ?FlashMan.exe do???)
I deleted All the links that I dont khow what they do and it seems to me that nothing happned. Did I do the right?
Please comment
Thanks!
I think! the ?flashman.exe are the individual programs used to backup things to the non-volitale ROM.
AFlashman.exe = Appointments
CFlashman.exe = Contacts
TFlashman.exe = Tasks
NFlashman.exe = coNnections
Why they made this 4 seperate process is beyond me, I removed the ones I don't use, (I only backup the contacts). BPInsert I've also removed, doesn't seem to hurt Bluetooth.
MMReg = is probably Mutlimedia Messaging registration
poutlook = I think your address book, (something to do with that)
stk = is the SIM card toolkit, (you need it to run the SIM tools like syncing
USSD = I don't know that one myself?
Wow!
There's a lot of programs in the startup folder on your machine!
I only have:
aFlashman.lnk
cFlashman.lnk
clear_notify.exe
IIWPO_startup.exe
PhonExt.lnk
PocketNav.lnk
poutlook.lnk
Does anyone know if this means I won't have full functionality of my XDA?
(It's an XDA I - RS 4.21 ROM 4.01.16 (Tmobile))
I'm sure I remember having handsfree.lnk in there before I did the upgrade. What's happened to it? Should I be worried?
Hi all,
I hope i'm wrong, but you shouldn't have messed up with those links especially the ?flashman.exe as i believe they are responsible for the ROM to RAM flashing upon soft reset.
note: the number and names of the .lnk files are different between the XDA I and XDA II due to the additional s/w on XDA II (BT and WiFi for example)
As far as I know those FlashX files are for backing up contacts, tasks and appointments to non-volatile memory...
AFlashman.exe = Appointments
CFlashman.exe = Contacts
TFlashman.exe = Tasks
NFlashman.exe = coNnections
So if you don't use the Permanent Save feature (on Control Panel) you can safely delete them from the startup folder.
Best regards,
Rayan
IIWPO_startup.exe = Anti-theft program
xFlashMan.lnk = processes to synchronize u're contacts, calendar, tasks... in ROM (non-volatile backup)
poutlook.lnk = pocket outlook process (necessary for pocket word & excel)
SMSReceiver.lnk = process to monitor SMS reception & save incoming SMS in DB
stk.lnk = SIM Toolkit
USSD.lnk = the GSM service (monitors incoming calls, dialing numbers, etc...)

Actually this has to do with the permanent save - you can delete it and still synchronize with the PC & use tasks/contacts etc. At least I did ..
poutlook.lnk = permanent save?
i never knew about that! :?
are you sure its safe to terminate this process??? :roll:
poutlook starts up with 1 thread and is responsible for everything that occurs in tasks contacts and calendar. poutlook starts at least 1 new thread for each when they are started for the first time. I do not think it has anything to do with permanent save. If you kill it or send it a WM_CLOSE it ends along with the contacts, tasks and calendar with no apparent other side effects. I would like to know how it has anything to do with word and excel, they are pword.exe and pxl.exe for the process names. Ending the process for the flashman's has varying results. Sometimes the whole ppc freezez up. Sometimes the current window continues but once the app closes the os freezes.
Dose anyone know if there is somewhere in the registry where a list all non os exe file names or paths is?

Notes in tasks doesn't save!

Ok, so I was at school today and typed in some to-do work as tasks. For example Read these pages: blabla. And when I came home the tasks was the re but totally empty?!
I tried adding the notes again but it just doesn't want to save them. I have tried soft resetted the XDA.
Have somebody experienced the same problem and know what to do?
There is a bug in the OS, I think, that doesn't save the note of the task if you don't hold down the OK button for 3 seconds.
That's odd. My friends XDA will save notes, but he can't delete them when he's finished! It says that the file is in use.
I had the problem once. - i.e. not saving new tasks.
I think it was a fault in my pocket outlook database.
I'm not sure, but I think the solution I found was exporting and re-importing the outlook data on the desktop, then re-synchronising over all the databases.

Backing up before flashing

Hey guys,
First, I want to apologize because I"m about to ask dumb questions. I've spent some time wandering around reading threads and FAQs trying to understand all this, but I'm still fairly lost.
Before i begin, some basic info:
I'm on Sprint, currently on ROM 2.09.651.3
I use ActiveSync to connect to my company's Outlook server to get my work email, calendar, and tasks. However, I sync with my home PC for files and favorites.
I'd like to update to the most recent ROM as i'd like to get the faster web speeds, GPS, and SprintTV if possible.
The only thing I really don't want to lose are my contacts, which I don't have syncing anywhere currently. These are obviously not work contacts...and I don't have Outloook on my home computer....so what are my choices as to how I can backup my contacts? Preferably, a free application.
Lastly, am I understanding correctly that I can download the file from this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402887
and simply follow the instructions on this page:
http://www.htc.com/uploadedFiles/Co...es/Mogule_Detailed_RUU Instructions_R1 _2.pdf
And that's it?
Sorry for the dumb questions. I'm pretty good with technology, but I've never done any updating or tweaking with my phone. Aside from the HTC Home app, it's mostly stock. Any suggestions and help will be appreciated.
I just asked this question last week. What I discovered are 12 different answers from 12 different people. SO I will just tell you what I found.
SPB backup or Resco Backup. Those cost money tho. I prefer the free options.
I just discovered Dashwire. It's an online site that does the backup for your phone. It only does contacts, messages and conversations, call history, media (video and picture), bookmarks, ringtones, voicemail (but not on Sprint), speeddials, and has some social networking involved (including syncing with Twitter).
It seems to have worked great for me. I haven't noticed anything missing since my upgrade.
It doesn't do calendars, but I use the free version of Goosync for that.
if all you want are the contacts, "pim" in the my device folder contains the contact info. To verify, rename, reset, and see if your contacts are still there. As I recall you cant overwrite directly, you need to rename the original and then copy the old file to that location after the wipe.
Sounds like you have the rest figured out already.
Personally I run exchange for everything important, a UC file for my programs, and dont care about texts/etc. I did save my SPB P+ config, which is one of like 5 things I have to do manually on a hard reset (today screen plugins, buttons, contacts on phone suit, and exchange settings are the others.)

Two Major Problems in HD2 with WM6.5

Dear All,
I have two major problems and need urgent help:
1) Lack of storage memory:
My HD2 is new and I`ha installed very less applications (keyboard, resco manager, GARMIN GPS).
I have moved all my pictures, video, musics and etc to STORAGE CARD. But now 76% of my STORAGE MEMORY is full and I can't send files via bluetooth on it. When I checked found following large files:
a) My Device\Application Data\HTC\HTC Album 21 MB
b) My Device\Application Data\GoogleMaps 25 MB
These two folders totally has 26% of my STORAGE MEMORY. What can I do to free more memory? for now and in the future also.
2) Problem connecting ActiveSync to Microsoft Exchange Server to receive Emails:
I order to receive my work place emails on my HD2 in every place with WiFi, I added an account to my outlook in HD2. Also I got the license file from the mail server admin and installed on HD2 and I can see the certificate in ROOT certificate list.
But the activesync can't connect to server and it says "waiting for network". In the "status", says "the server could not be reached ..." with the error code "0x80072efd".
I have checked SSL connection (selected). Also when I go to the following address:
ActiveSync => Menu => Configure Server => Next => Next => E-mail => Setting => Advanced => Choose Certificate
there are no certificates in the list and no place to add any one.
Now What can I do for these two annoying problems?
Can anybody help me to get rid of them?
Thanks in advance
No one has solution?
39 views and no answer???? :-(
I can help with 1 not 2
Access the phone from your pc, copy and paste the Album infor to the SD card, that works - it may work with google maps, not sure as on 6.5 I used IGO8 from the SD Card

Thanks bro,
The first solution, I will find the fix and install
The second solution, I did so but no use
;-(
For problem 2:
From your description it seems like connectivity rather then a certificate problem.
1. Does synching mail work properly for any other workplace colleagues that are using "Activesync" on their phones. If yes it's not the certificate.
2. The window location you described; "ActiveSync => Menu => Configure Server => Next => Next => E-mail => Setting => Advanced => Choose Certificate"; - is for using public/private keys to encrypt mail. It is not relevant unless it's a requirement by the business. In which case you would contact your helpdesk.
3. Browse to google AND run a search for something; for example: "the ocean". This is just a check to make sure you have connectivity. Do this from a cellular data {3G,GPRS} connection (if you use) and then turn the phone data connection off and WiFi on. Run the same test.
4. Does the phone have a telco/carrier branded ROM? In many cases they can feed traffic through proxy servers. I've seen correctly configured phones fail to sync mail because either a Wifi/Cellular (sometimes both) traffic gets fed through a proxy.Sometimes the only way to fix it is to change the connection configuration via GUI if your luck or registry edits if your not.
If 1, 2 & 3 checkout & tick all the boxes, post back and you should get some help.
