PDA2K and Microsoft Reader - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

The I-Mate PDA2K is the first PPC I've owned that doesn't come with MS Reader pre-installed. Trying to install the version from the website doesn't seem to work, no matter where I choose to install it.

Anyone else have this issue?

Ok never mind, I figured it out. You have to manually copy the cab to the device. I'll post detailed instructions if anyone needs them.

I'd like to see how you did it.

VisKey or similar for WM5

I installed VisKey on my SX66 WM5 based PPC but it crashed it and now I have to reinstall the whole OS again since I did not make a backup. However the software is great on WM2003SE. But is there anything similar to VisKey since I like the idea of entering a password from a picture rather than just entering simple numbers? Did VisKey work for anyone else on SX66 WM5?

TomTomGo 300 & WM6

Hi Guys,
I've done some searching of this forum, and can't find anything relating to Tom Tom Go 300's here - so I figure it's safe to post this
I've upgraded to WM6, and everything works wonderfully, but for one thing...
I've a TomTomGo 300 Portable SatNav device, and it doesn't seem to want to work with WM6 - any reasons why? Anything I do to fix it?
When I try and pair the phone and the TTG, it finds the phone - but then comes up with something about there being no required services on the phone. Is this because we don't have DUN on WM6?
Any help/suggestions/abuse appreciated!
Ta!
Matt

hope you get it running soon as you atleast need a TT to find your way '-)
Bah! I thought I'd seen it somewhere but couldn't for the life of me find it.
Will follow that thread then!
Thanks!
Matt
Which TomTom are you using?
Instead of starting a new thread, I'll keep using this regarding navigation options.
I have a Cingular 8525 with the VP3G LSVW rom. Since I've read other threads that the internal GPS chip in the TyTN is hopelessly disabled, I'm wondering what type of TomTom software + gps device is everyone else using? I'm thinking that there is something that can connect via BT or emu to my device that will provide the gps portion and then I can just install software.
Please post what you have and links to products would be even better!

TOMTOM GO and WM6 (DUN)

Microsoft are going to release WM6 with the ability to enable (DUN) for legacy devices, I.e. TOMTOM GO series... are there any cooks interested in releasing a ROM with this option enabled?
this would be great. if this was done i would have nothing to complain about with wm6
Same here, it's just the final thing I need for a perfect WM6 ROM.
One vote more
Same, here. I also tried to use DUN on WM6 with TomTom Go. But apparently WM6 lacks DUN support in Bluetooth Stack.
Does anyone have a fix for this or is there any good WM6 Rom out there with Bluetooth DUN support?
Yes-Sir-Eee
I would love to see that, my 910 won't use the services without DUN...
I was browsing earlier and I think I saw a .cab file in the Wizard forums for PAN support in Windows Mobile 6, however I don't think that anyone said that it worked.
Really?
Point me in the right direction & I'll happily give it a whizz...
Cheers,

I downloaded the CAB from here, and installed on my Wizard. It says it installed but does not work.
Here's some more info:

I can confirm this fix
Used trinity files posted by MuN on the above thread.
heres what i did
Installed cab - soft reset
pasted all files from zip in windows folder - soft reset
then unpaired tomtom 910 and reparied, hey presto it found DUN support
Perfect, have been waiting for a fix for this
I've run the .cab and copied the files into the Windows directory, however I'm having a real headache trying to configure a data connection.
Which device to choose for TomTom GO 910?
@the.drone
I followed your instructions and now my TomTom reports that my phone has DUN capability. Problem is HTC TyTN or HTC Hermes ist not listed as phone in the phone list and automatic configuration does not work.
Can you please give instructions which phone to use or how to configure the data connection manually? Because DUN support which can't be configured is as good as no DUN support.
Thanks a lot.
Marc
it just worked first time automaticaly with mine, maybe i was just a fluke but it found the data coonection first time on 3g
How can I find out my TomTom thinks my phone has DUN?
Edit: when I try to add my TomTom to my Hermes, it only brings up a handsfree tick box, when in Windows Mobile 5 I think it also brought up two additional tick boxes. Any ideas if this is following the path to success of if I've screwed up?
Double post.
DUN Doin' it
Will be giving it a go first thing in the morning.
Cheers for the update, will post results....
Bargain!
You eff-ing ROCK... DUN on WM6.
My TomTom 910 loves you!!
Hoo-haa!
How did you get it to work?
So can someone share how they did it?
I followed the instructions and it now finds my ttg 300, and says it has the services - but can't set up the actual DUN connection either manually or automatically!
Any ideas?
Matt
I really am sorry to be a pain in the butt, but I'll outline what I've done.
1). Paired my Hermes up with my TomTom 910.
2). Run the .cab.
3). Soft reset.
4). Copied the files into the Windows directory of my Hermes via the storage card.
5). Soft reset.
6). Repaired my Hermes and TomTom 910 after having deleted the previous connection. At this point it says "The following features were found: Hands-free calling, Wireless data connection, Phonebook".
At this point I try and setup a data connection that it hits the fan. It's really annoying because it feels like I'm falling at the final hurdle. I also wondered if I was struggling because of an issue with connecting to the T-Mobile network, however am I right in thinking that mccreath's using a T-Mobile GPRS contract SIM connection?

Help...

Morning all.....
This may have been covered before, but as yet I can't find it...
I've just rebuilt my XDA Orbit, using the O2 WM6 Upgrade.... Most things seem to have worked seamlessly except for now I am unable to see anything in my Calendar on the Orbit.
ActiveSync tells me it is synchronising ok.....
The PC is running Office 2003 with ActiveSync 4.5.
Please tell me I can sort this easily - if not, I'm going back to WM5!
thanks

Microsoft Reader

For my birthday, my wife let me get a Pro2 But I'm having problems installing the Microsoft Reader on it with my Windows 7 laptop. I've not been able to find a cab for it; can you ONLY install this from a desktop, or is there a cab file? I know that Reader is not a fav of WM users, but I have a ton of books in .lit format. Help !
I'm also an avid Microsoft Reader user, for the same reason as you. I installed MS Reader from the exe file on the reader website. I also have a Windows 7 laptop and had no issues at all. What kind of problem are you having?

Thanks for answering! The TP2 just gives me an error message that file install was not being successful. The program does install on my wife's Vista machine (so I guess the problem is solved) but I would like to figure out why it won't install on the Win 7 machine. Like many MS error messages, there isn't enough info provide by the error-reporting mechanism to really triage the problem. This has occurred from day 1 of Win 7, and seems to be the ONLY program that it errors out on.
