Called ID 1.20 stops showing pictures - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

Hi,
Has anyone noticed that when using called id 1.20, it works fine after a reset but after a while it stops showing the picture from the person who is calling you?
I've tryed to pinpoint the cause but can't find it...
My caller id 1.20 has been installed in a new installation (cooked extrom) so i don't think it's some incompatibility issue with an older version (since it never was installed)
Has anyone else noticed this?
Thanks

Does this happens only to me?
I used this file Caller_ID_WWE_RC13.CAB and put it on the ext rom (i removed 1.17)
I noticed that if i installed both there were two pictures showing...

I gave up with IA's version and went with PocketX Photo Contacts. You can't beat the full screen Caller ID with big on-screen buttons.
FYI, I was informed by PocketX that the demo version on their website is based off of version 1.0d, which didn't work properly on the PDA2k (you would hit the on-screen Answer button but it wouldn't pick up the phone). It was fixed in 1.0e, and the latest version is 1.0h, which works beautifully on my PDA2k. I've even gone as far as removing IA Caller ID from my Extended ROM entirely.

I resolved the problem, it was something to do with the release i installed IA_CallerID_1.20_WWE.CAB and worked fine, i think this is an older release RC10 maybe, the files in the cab are older

any chance of posting the latest version of photo contacts? i found the demo unusable with the same symptoms you described

That's not an issue...
Just from the FAQ:
I have loaded the demo version of Photo Contacts on my Pocket PC phone. However, the pictures that I assigned to the contacts do not come up. Any suggestions?
Answer The DEMO version of Photo Contacts is is limited to displaying only the first 8 contact photos. All other contacts with photos will display a demo image. Therefore, you should assign a photo to one of the first 8 contacts in the list, depending on the sort-order of the contacts in Photo Contacts.
Do a small test:
1. Create a contact on your Pocket PC with the first name "A" and last name "A". Give it your home telephone number in the Home Telephone Number field.
2. Crop a contact photo using a simple image editor (Irfanview works really well) and name the image "A A.jpg"
3. Connect your Pocket PC to your computer and establish an Activesync Connection
4. Click on "Explore" in Activesync and browse to "\My Documents\Photo Contacts" on the Pocket PC.
5. Copy the "A A.jpg" image from the PC onto the Pocket PC.
Now open Photo Contacts and you should see A A as the first contact in the list with the photo. Call your Pocket PC Phone from your home phone and you will see the photo when the phone rings (Photo Caller ID).

How do youget rid of the other app?

Just installed over the older one, the files are the same...

IMPORTANT !!!!
IA Caller ID 1.2 is NOT un upgrade of the 1.17 that is shipped with qtek9090 !
It is an other version !
If you want to use it you MUST unsinstall the previous version (to do so, do not put it in your Extended rom and perform a HARD-Reset!)
THEN and ONLY AFTER THIS you can install ANY version 1.2X !
both versions are conflicting when incoming calls !
It is caused by the name of the DLL or programs that had been changed.
You can also patch with an HEX editor "camera.exe" AND "album.exe" to keep full compatilbity with previous specs in 1.17
(replace " 'IA_P_'contact.exe" with " 'photo'contact.exe" :
only change "I A P _ " to "P h o t o " (same number of chars!) wherever it is found in the HEX...
With this you will be able to add "photo contact" profile in registry for camera prog.
AND
Patching Album.exe the same way will add "Assign Photo to contact" from the prog...
Enjoy
OUPS I forgot to help for the first question :
Remember to remove your call history and do not let the contact application look at your SIM card otherwise callerID will mess up !!
A good advice is NOT to sync SIM with contact, keep contact in SIM for emergency (in case your qtek is out of order and you have to use another phone...)

ActiveSync4.5 & Contacts problem

Hello. I've checked the previous pages and didn't see anyone having the same question. That probably means i am the only one so dumb in here)))
Basically, last night i was playing with overclocking my XDA Orbit being insured that all the contacts are syncronized. At some point (273MHz) the device stopped responding so i had to soft reset it. Later i found that nothing got lost BUT my contact list with all the numbers. Next, I open Outlook and see that none of them were saved there. WTF is ActiveSync is doing then? And another problem is that i cannot use backup of my old WM2003 contact list because there is no such option as Backup/Restore in WM6. Any ideas? Please,HELP. I really need those numbers back...

The contacts in the Orbit are gone...
The contacts in the Outlook not sync'ed hence they too gone...
Cannot import 2003 backup into WM6 - different structure
Option 1 - if you have old outlook backup - you can re-import into new outlook file and they re-sync again
Option 2 - Manually enter all the numbers you remember
Option 3 - Nothing
Basically the fact is if you cannot see the contacts in the fone - they are gone! If you cannot see in outlook they are gone - only option is to get from another source!
You mentioned 2003 backup - what did you take the backup with? Maybe you can still read using the same software and try to retrieve the number - or use another 2003 model to import into it
The backup was taken using Backup/Restore feature of WM2003. But I really wonder now, WHY Microsoft decided not to include this option in WM6? If anything happens, you're properly f****d, like me now.
BTW, WM2003 Contact list backup can be accessed with Notepad, but the data looks a bit messy that way.

Am not in the same situation...was letting you know your options....
Good luck with the retrieval...
don't take it personally, i meant "You" in general
I analyzed the chain of events and it seems like i found the root of the problem. It's was nothing to do with overclocking or the device itself. Its ActiveSync. As I usually don't use Outlook, the contact list there was always empty. And this blessed child of Microsoft instead of copying contacts from XDA to Outlook did it other way round thus erasing everything on the phone. Don't know what to do, laugh or cry, but it's so... so... ridicilous!
Thanx for your help anyway, much appreciated

Questions about Schap's 4.31

I just flashed Schap's 4.31 rom to my att 8525 (hermes) a couple of days ago and I am having a few minor issues.
It is awesome. I am loving the extra space and look!
But here are my problems:
The first was my keyboard mapping. But, I got that fixed.
I cannot watch youtube mobile. Streaming player just sits at "connecting..." when i use the media net connection, or the dialed connection gets rejected for isp.cingular. Nor does it work with an operating WiFi connection (phone off.).
How can I get the pictures on my storage card to be recognized by the camera album program? Pictures and videos still sees them.
Also, what is the best radio to be running? I have 1.16.00.00
And is there a way to make the email icon on my today screen go directly to my GMAIL account instead of the account picker?

1. good work.
2. www.ytpocket.com
3. Check Advanced config and change the default save location to My Pictures.
4. Since youre in the USA, you should be using the same radio Im using. 1.54.07.00
5. Uncheck "Display account picker when opening Messaging" under Messaging options.
1. Thanks.
2. Is there no way to make the streaming player work from youtube mobile? We can only use ytpocket?
3. I changed the save location to My Pictures. And the 'default storage location for image files' to /storage card\my documents\my pictures. The pictures on my SD card still don't show up in the camera album program.
4. Will work on flashing the radio today.
5. I tried disabling the account picker and all that does is take me to whatever messaging account I had open last. I wanted to make it so no matter what I looked at last, it would open my email page. Can that be done, or am I just asking a bit too much customization?

Contacts conundrum

Hi, I have been searching for a solution to this all week so sorry if I've missed something...
I have my TP2 ROM version Euro 1.19.401.1 running the SMS Hotfix.
I was using Sprite Backup ver 6.5.4 build 14 on my Kaiser. When I got the TP2 I used the Sprite Backup saved on my SD Card to move my contacts and IE bookmarks across which seemed to work fine.
All my contacts are there and I can select and dial/sms them with no problems.
However when people call/sms me it doesn't show the contacts name - only the number.
I have discovered that if I go to a contact, edit it and then without changing any details click done it will show me the person who is calling/sms.
I really don't want to have to open and close the hundreds of contacts on my device - does anyone have a work around for this ?
Also - does your TP2 have a lens built into the battery cover - mine came with none (I can put the stylus through the back with no problem) and I'm wondering if this isn't just going to cause it to fill with unmentionables
I read elsewhere that Diamond2 units are also suffering from the caller ID issue, even a hard reset to factory defaults won't help.
As for the lens cover - it's on back of the device and not on the back cover.

Microsoft ActiveSync Unresolved Item

Hey guys ...
Everytime I connect and do my sync at the bottem in the Files folder above the Media section ... it says there is an Unresolved problem.
I am not certain what the problem is but when I click on that folder I get a list of things in another window.
I do not know what the unresolved problem is.
Is there a way I can find out ?
My TP2 is working just fine but would like to know what it is.
Thanks !!

There's a number of possible causes, here's a list that might help you pinpoint the cause (*note-this list is from an older post elswhere online about issues with older versions of winmo and activesync, but most of what it says still holds true):
"What Causes Unresolved Items
Unresolved Items are caused by a variety of different problems with the synchronization process. Here is a list of possible causes of unresolved items :
-One of the most common issues are that the files are open by another application on the desktop or the Pocket PC. I recommend closing all applications to avoid having the files open. In the Calendar, Contacts and Tasks as well as Email, a common problem could be a corrupted PST (mailbox) file. Using the program Scanpst.exe will allow you to identify any problems with your PST file and fix them.
-Another possible issue with Email is that ActiveSync attempts to convert all attachments and synchronize them. So if an attachment such as a .DAT file is not supported, the Resolve Items will be displayed.
-Also, if you place ink notes into your Calendar or Contacts, you cannot synchronize the notes to the desktop. The desktop does not support the ink format that the Pocket PC uses.
-Another source of unresolved items is a problem with converting Word or Excel files including as attachments to Inbox. You cannot convert or sync files with a password. Further if your documents are more complex than the converter can handle, your pc may hang.
-Another possible cause of unresolved items occurs when a user modifies a contact, calendar item or task on BOTH the PC and the Pocket PC. This is because ActiveSync identifies changes made on either the Pocket PC or the PC and synchronizes the WHOLE record. So it either replaces the record from the Pocket PC to the PC or vice versa. In these instances, you need to decide which version is correct. You can adjust this behavior in ActiveSync to indicate whether the item remains unresolved or is overwritten by the PC record or the Pocket PC record in ActiveSync (on the PC) - Tools - Options - Rules.
-Another source is when users are inviting users to appointments which do not exist on the PC (normally their home PC) they are synchronizing. In this case you need to either add the users to the Pocket PC and sync it with their PC or delete the invited attendees for the appointment. You cannot just add the user to your PC because the Pocket PC is looking for that specific contact that existed previously"

Thanks !!
will take a look.
My TP2 is running fine .. just that everytime I sync it would come up with that unresolved item.
One thing I did which seems to make my phone run really well as in speed ect... is I disabled the TF3D. Put on a new theme and I really love the phone now.
Being new I am not sure what the actual term is called .. but the drop down on the top right hand corner of the phone ( I take it as being like a sys resource percentage ) .. it used to be around 70% to 75% nd really ran SLOW. Now after the changes I did to the phone it will be at 55% to 65% and runs really fast.
Thanks so much !!!!

Glad to help!
The percentage you're looking at is a direct representation of how much RAM is being used at that time...the memory that your programs run in when they're active, just like on your home PC. That is generally used as the indicator for how bogged down your phone is or isn't at the moment, as you've noticed.
In the TP2, you can get the base level of that usage down even more by applying the two cabs I've attached below (just have to run them once, they apply some registry tweaks that disable some unnessary resource drains found in the stock ROM)

Improvements in S8500XPKG6 Bada 2.0 (over KG5)

With only few hours of use, here are the visible improvements of S8500XPKG6 firmware over the previous S8500XPKG5:
The Good
1. No need to set debug level to "Low". Very rare crashes.
2. Kies can now detect phone firmware information
3. Apps can now be downloaded and installed via kies.
4. Now you can delete/replace your Samsung accounts (e-mail and pwd) from "Accounts" after signing in.
The Bad
1. "Add account" in Accounts take so loooong to respond (at times even stalls) when pressed to add new account.
2. Route 66. No option to sync license. Only option to buy (even if you already have an active license).
3. Search results in Samsung Apps is nearly invisible ; font size is very very small (same in KG5).
4. All games apps/games that did not play in KG5 don't also play in KG6 firmware (e.g Asphalt5, FinalStrike 3D, Turbo Granny, etc).
And The Ugly?
This is left for all who have used the new firmware version to share their experiences here .
I had to switch to "low" or google app and other applications would not open and the blue screen appeared.
The Facebook app is unstable in my case. If I send a status update works, but if I try to comment on my status or the status of someone the app crash . I can only write in status through the social hub, but there does not have all the features like the app.
Gmail only downloaded the first 50 messages stored in e-mail (which are 2007), I can not get recent messages.
The apps that I installed did not work.

All my e-mail accounts work fine. I only selected "Last week" in setting, so they retrieve only mails in the last one week. Maybe because I am using "socialhub premium" activated.
Some apps don't work but some do. Bruce Lee, NFS Shift, Diodict dictionaries, Al Jazeera Live, SPB TV, France 24 Live, etc, all worked.
Though I have not observed any crash or blue screen so far (on default debug level Middle), there may still be the need to set debug level to "Low" if you experience crashes.
For me in some aspects is better,but in other...I've just found out that i can not download apps at all via the samsung apps on the phone itself.Invalid pasword on both my samsung accaunts..I've written it several times and every time i am sure it's the right one.Whatever..
p.s. Do not ever put the dictionary widget on the homescreen.It will get your phone to endless bootcycle and you will have to flash again.

My phone always install apps/games in internal storage even though i've selected memory card in Installation location. Is it a bug in KG6 ?
stune also nt working
@hisee For me, STune is working, maybe your driver is too old.
@crionic I got that problem, too. But: you can solve it easily: it's the dictionary that tries to build a word from what you type. (it does that regardless whether globally disabled or not, so it's a bug). Longer tap on the key that shows your lang-code (eg: the globe with EN or whatever) and the options will open, disable text recognition, delete the already typed chars and re-enter your password. That's it.
@hany0u That the apps won't work is *not* a bug. Bada 2.0 is a new major version with API changes. Apps that work (several, eg: Spirit, TurboFly 3D, Caligo Chaser, EVAC, Radiant, Buka etc pp) simply never used the changed API. All others need to be updated, so I excpect them to work around September, when the final is coming out.
when i access to you tube or picasa through communities upload' my phone restaring. even i put debug level low. and also samsung application giving error "network not found" any solution. thanks for advance.
New font (Samsung Font) is a little too wide in other languages, than English. It could be good to left us choice which font we will use - old or new. Choco cookie is childish IMO.
Gps nt working . i am trying to do setting but its nt opeing ( *#4097*4097#)
