I know that this is arguably in the wrong forum, but I've been posting my issue in the "General" forum for weeks without one response. Trying to get some exposure.
I'm just wondering if this is just my issue or if it's a common issue with WM5/WM6 and or the latest ActiveSync, 4.5. I'm having issues with syncing Excel files that used to sync just fine on WM2003. I have large spreadsheets that are about 325kb in size on the desktop. When I sync the file, it's the same size until I open it and try to make changes and save it. Then I get the following error:
"Unsupported content and formatting may be lost if you save this workbook..."
The only way I can save the spreadsheet is to rename it and create a new one with the same name. It then writes over the original file, taking up to 30 seconds to save. The file is then 969kbs in size (almost triple!). And every time I edit on the PC it goes back to 325kbs. Then when I edit on the PPC, it goes through this again, making the file almost a Meg again.
Is there any way to just sync the file with just one format? WM2003 doesn't have this problem at all. It syncs the file and it's still the same size on both the desktop and the PC, 325kbs. But not for WM5 or WM6. This is really annoying. Also, sometimes my date formats are changed from month-day-year to day-year-month, or something retarded like that. Really freakin annoying to say the least. You buy MS products and they're not even compatible. I feel like I have a Palm trying to sync Apple documents or something. It's really ridiculous! I'm hoping that one of you genius' can point me to a setting that I've overlooked to fix this. Or some kind of cab or hack to make Excel save documents in the same format as WM2003. Please help!
PS, I've tried to change the conversion settings in Active sync as well with no apparant effects.
As cuurent ppc office uses same format as pc why not copy and paste documents rather than synching - its what i do with any documents i want to have on my ppc.

I get the same error whether I use activesync or not. That's the problem - they're not the same format. When saving on the desktop it converts to XLS work book. When saving on the device it converts to a PXL file. Thery're different. As a matter of fact, I found out last night the WM2003 is converting the files the same way but it shows the storage size as if it were in the XLS form (says 352Kbs but desktop shows 950Kbs actual size until opened and saved on desktop) It's been doing this all along, so I guess the only difference is that now, I'm getting an warning before I save and rewrite the file and I have to rename it.
Strange thing is that no one seems to have this issue but me. I've only found like 2 or 3 posts on the internet with people having this issue with WM6. So, there's a way to bypass it - Just don't know how.
BTW, Thanx for replying to my post.
2003 saved as pxl - wm6 saves as xls or xlsx - what rom are you using?

Well it saves as xls\xlsx then - theres no need for conversion of the files.

I tried to edit-save using WM5 storeage on the device and then edit-save on the desk top. Created the document on the device and it was saved as "Excel 2007 Workbook"(default). Save to storage card and then turned on WM5 storage and connected to the desktop. Went to the storage card, opened the same file and I got a brief message "file conversion in progress" before the file opened. I went to "save as" and the file type was the same "Excel 2007 Workbook". So, like you said, why is there a need for conversion if they're in the same format? Says there're the same but I don't think they really are. Desktop file size is always smaller than the device file size.
Appreciate your help, but I guess I'm just going to have to live with it.
PS and yes, it still asks me to rename the file if I try to edit it after coming from the desktop.
Hi,
I've been using my Artemis for 2-3 weeks now and i absolutely love it, even more so after installing Meschle's Rom (thanks for that one).
I'm always discovering new things to do with my artemis and unfortunately in doing so i also discover things i can't figure out for myself. So i hope some of the forum veterans can provide me with an answer to any of the following questions:
1. I installed PocketGba and it runs very well for the most part. But when trying to run games like Fire Emblem GBA it says 'insufficient memory'. I've been reading through a lot of pages concerning this and discovered it has to do with memory allocation. The question is: how can i safely relocate memory to play these bigger kind of games?
2. I set up my Outlook work account on my Artemis and i was wondering how i could change the setting as to receive the mail on my storage card.
3. Which of these applications is better than the built-in calendar: Agenda Fusion, SPB Diary or SBSH? I would just like a better organizer for appointments and such. If i install one of these, will there be any conflict problems with the present organizer? Can i transfer existing appointments to the new organizer?
4. How can I change my contacts as to display only contacts stored on the phone (no longer double displaying with sim contacts)?
5. How can i add and save words to the XT9 dictionary? Adding isn't the problem here, but keeping them for future use is.
6. In trying to re-install TomTom Navigator 6 some strange things have happened. As it turns out, TomTom didn't install correctly and is spread among a couple of folders. Can someone tell me if it's save to delete these folders and try installing Navigator again?
Showing under My Device: Program Files > Navigator: contacts, itn, logging, voices, navigator, ttnavigator.
Showing under Storage Card: My Documents > TomTom : empty folder
Showing under Storage Card: ttnavigator.
Can i safely remove all these files manually? If i want to re-install TT6...can i just put it on my storage card and run the program from my storage card?
Also, how do i create shortcuts on my device to programs stored on my storage card?
7. I'm using the installed Java Midlet manager Jbed and have thus far installed Opera Mini on it. I'm also trying to download games to my phone. For example: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I tried everything but i just can't seem to download the game to my Artemis. Nor from the eamobile site, nor through vodafone live portal. Any help here would be greatly appreciated (also indicating which phone version of these kind of games is best suited to the Artemis, for example Nokia N series).
That's about it for now ))))
Thanks!!
Excellent questions. I thought I'd be able to help, but I'm kinda stumped on most of them. I'm also using a ROM from Meschle, and I'm using Agenda fusion for the home page. It's free, simple, and very customizable. Don't know about the others.
I haven't used the GBA emulator yet, but I am using a full Nintendo emulator and games run fine on my device. I'm thinking your memory issue is a problem with the settings or you my just have to find another emulator.
And with TomTom, I've never had a problem installing that program. How are you installing it? Cab file? I have a cab file I can email you if your interested. I just bought the software and copied the cab file from the CD. Works everytime.
re tom tom cab file
Hi I have the tom tom cab file, but only have the map for part of ni can anyone mail me the map for the uk?
Cheers all

Heres answer to your question 2 and 4.
UnShow Contacts from Sim
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\ShowSim
Normally the value is 1! Set this to 0 and soft reset!
-------
Change the location of email and attachments
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MAPI\PropertyPath =
"\Storage Card\Mail" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MAPI\AttachPath =
"\Storage Card\Mail\Attachments" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To return to the original location:
Just simply delete these Registry settings (since neither is included by default).
----------
Change the location of Temporary Internet Files
When browsing the web, pages and images are saved in the 'Temporary Internet Files' location. You can change this location to, for example, your Storage Card:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Cache = "\Storage Card\cacheie" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Thanks nm8.
I am using the Touch lite rom from Meschle. And I don't think it comes with a registry editor. Is it worth getting Resco or is there a better, free alternative? I was looking at Schap's advanced config tool. But i'm guessing it doesn't allow registry changing. It does seem to allow to disable displaying sim contacts. Don't know if it also allows for changing the storage of e-mail and attachments to storage card.
All in all i think it's probably safer for a newbie to get the advanced config tool instead of trying to change registry settings, right?
The only thing i find strange is that Meschle indicates that the total free program memory should be 25MB. I have only installed a couple of extra programs (on storage card) and my device says it only has 16.9 MB free.
After disabling Cube and soft resetting device I gained 22MB free program memory. I can now load and run Fire Emblem on PocketGba. Unfortunately the device freezes when a battle is about to take place. Seems like the Artemis isn't really equipped to play these kinds of games. Same thing happens when changing video display and such. Shame. If anyone knows of a solution...
Disabled the cube, soft resetted my device and gained 22 MB free program memory. Now the PocketGba runs Fire Emblem untill a battle starts and then it just freezes my device. Strange. This game only needs 16MB free program memory. I have been playing with video settings and such and it still freezes. Seems like the Artemis isn't really equipped to run this...
@shawndh:
I've read everywhere that PocketGba is the best GBA emulator out there. It can theoretically load 32MB cartridge files according to memory state. As i stated above, I only have around 16.9 MB free. So it really is a question of memory allocation. Which emulator are you using and does it allow you to play any GBA cartridge?
About TT6. Thanks for offering the cab. But i would like to know first if it is safe to delete the files i mentioned in my topic start post.
Anyway thanks everyone for the input. Keep it coming this way )
Registry editor is available on this ROM, its part of the TaskManager
Start->Program->Accessories->TaskManager
Go to Menu->Create RegEdit Shortcut.
Regedit is then available from the Drop Down arrow in top right hand corner.

Pocket Informant is excellent replacement for outlook although its not free, not tried the ones you mentioned. I believe most of the replacements use the same database to store the appt/task/etc and therefore all you appointments will automatically be available.
Thanks premkang. Unfortunately the Task Manager on the lite version is 2.0 instead of 2.8. The 2.0 version doesn't allow to enter the registry.
About PocketGba: I disabled the cube, performed a soft reset et voila 22MB of free program memory. I can now run Fire Emblem, but whenever a battle is about to take place the Artemis freezes. I'm guessing the Artemis isn't really equiped to run these kinds of games smoothly (even after altering video settings). If someone else has it working, let me know.
hey mate, don't know if any of this'll help, but...
with regard to your gaming problem have you seen the change pool size thread? allows you to change the memory pool size so that you can allocate more memory for larger applications (but a less memory for fast system operation) and vice versa. i gather, running vanilla, you want the quick system so it might not be of any help;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323885&highlight=change+page+pool
also your tt6 query, i don't like it being installed on the device without the option to install on the storage card. i cut all files on the device that you mentioned and placed them in prog files on the storage (same as they would be in prog files on device). i then copied the tomtom navigator.exe (the one with the red hands 2.4mb) and in windows folder paste shortcut in;
1.AppButtons - to allow button config for tt, if required.
2.StartMenu/Programs - so that it shows up in the programs menu.
this frees up 2.5mb on the device. i dont know about which files can be deleted though. all i have on my storage card are;
main storage card;
Western_Europe...map - (file)
Voices (file)
Zip (postcodes ((file))
ttnavigator.bif (331b)
Program Files/Navigator within this are
contacts (file)
itn (file)
logging (file)
voices (file)
ttnavigator.bif (331b)
CurrentMap.dat (45b)
navigator.cfg (252b)
TomTomNavigator.exe (2.4mb)
DATA.CHK (2.6mb)
had it running for a while and all is fine. sorry if this is f*$king long winded, i'm a bit pissed and a novice, so i don't know if it's any help at all!!
good luck mate
also with regard to your query for xt9 saving ive started a thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1767135#post1767135, handy idea - like it
I do not want to flash the whole ROM , so I used another way to fix the ADR LITE.
I extracted the exe. file of adobe reader LE from my diamond (2.09M instead of 2.01M of HD )
Tried two ways:
1. replacement of the original ROM's exe file. This worked but it ended up with failure in direct opening of the PDF files.
A grey screen will appear after the start of adobe reader lite. Then you will need to select your target file again by browsing.
2. copy the exe file into another folder, then renamed it as another name e.g. ADRLv25.exe.
If you start this ADRLv25.exe, then you can use reflow.
If you kick the PDF file directly, the original ROM ver will be started without a grey screen. But this ver has no grey screen.
Interesting - thanks, I'd like to check it out.
So what exactly do I have to do with the exe file you provided?
Do I run it in my HD and install it or does it act as a stand-alone app?
If something goes wrong, can I get the original one back?

You just need to copy and paste it can run it alone.
Try not to replace the original one on your rom.
Replacement will end up with failure in direct launching of PDF files. The program still works but you will need to open the file by browsing in the adobe reader lite manually.

Thank you both for your input!! I ended up installing the cab from "Prof. Yaffle" in the post above to have the uninstall option if needed.
It worked like a charm! Now I can open pdf files just like before (directly out of a folder) and then under Tools--View I can select "reflow".
This is a MUST HAVE for a Pocket PC!! I can't believe they took that out of the version of AdobeReader that is shipped with the HD.
I'm so glad I found this thread. Thanks for posting it guys!
I notice now that when I use fullscreen mode, I cannot get out of it. I used to double-tap (or tap and hold - I can't remember which) and I could exit fullscreen mode. Now, I have to press the HTC Home button to get out of Adobe Reader and then in the task manager I have to close Adobe Reader, then restart it.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Simplest solution without installing anything:

Even better. Excellent find.

AWESOME - even better. Thank you for the link!
I uninstalled the cab I had installed earlier.
Did a soft reset.
Then I did the simple registry change (current_user/software/adobe/adobereaderle.25/ EnableReflow 0 to 1)
And now it all works perfectly. I have reflow and I can double tap to get out of full screen mode.
You know, it would be nice if double-tapping brought you both in and out of fullscreen mode. I wonder if that be done somehow.
But in any case - I'm so glad I got this sorted out.
EDIT: This tip should be added to HD Tweak (I already sent the developer a PM about it). I also added it to the wiki list of HD tips.
I have another question.
How come in landscape mode, when I use my finger to scroll, it scrolls like crazy regardless of how soft I flick? It's really hard to stop it and I end up losing my place in the text.
FYI - This happens whether in reflow mode or not.
EDIT: The only way to get it to work is to gently flick and immediately tap the screen once. I guess I can live with that.
Given the exceptional amount of RAM on a Blackstone, why not just go with Acrobat Reader 2.0? That way you get the automatic bookmarking. There's one wierd problem with AR2 - it can only read a single folder deep, I believe, so if you file your PDFs in multiple folders you have to move them around in order for the reader to see them. LE doesn't seem to have this problem. But honestly for me, it's far more annoying having to find my place again every time I open an old one.

reflow on touch cruise 2009
I have just replaced a touch cruise 2007 with a touch cruise 2009, and I have a problem with Adobe Reader LE 2.5. I used the Diamond version on the older phone, but 2.5 is pre-loaded on the new one. The new version does not have reflow and the installation of my cab produced an error message. I have tried the registry edit, but the registry key does not show a value for EnableReflow. I put it in and there is no effect after soft reset. Is the Touch Cruise 2009 ROM version different from the Touch HD?
Adobe Reader 2.0PPC (as available from the Adobe website) does not support WVGA devices - so it's next to useless on an HD. Adobe Reader 2.5LE for WinMo is a totally different branch, and each hardware manufacturer tailors it for their specific device (screen res, d-pad, etc.) so a version bundled with the ROM on one device is unlikely to play ball on others. 2.5LE is not available (legally) as a generic installer, it's supplied by Adobe to the OEMs under an ironclad license deal, ensuring the OEM only bundles a pre-configured image in the ROM. It's intentional, to stop people porting it without permission.
Foxit Reader works fine on the HD, but personally I don't like their menus - especially the lack of a "page X of X" text field like 2.5LE has at the bottom.
Adobe Reader LE 2.5 versus Adobe Reader PPC 2.0
I had wrestled with the problem in 2007 when I got my original Touch Cruise. I found a CAB for a LE 2.5 for the HTC Diamond, which worked pretty much flawlessly, including reflow. I replaced the Touch Cruise 2007 with a 2009 because the hardware buttons wore out, and I do want the buttons and the five-way wheel for one-handed reading.
Now the ROM version of LE 2.5 on the Touch Cruise 2009 appears not to have the reflow option at all. I have installed Adobe Reader PPC 2.0 and it reads and reflows tagged pdf files just fine as long as one opens the pdf file from within the application. If I open a pdf file from the File Explorer, Adobe Reader opens and exits immediately. Worse, Adobe Reader PPC 2.0 does not open pdf files in mail attachments correctly. It reports that the file is damaged, and tries to repair it. The repair fails and the attachment is unreadable. Interestingly, if I take the attachment back to the PC by ActiveSync, and open it with Adobe Acrobat, it looks fine, but Acrobat reports that it is now untagged...
Last problem is that, in the process, the file associations for pdf files has been switched to Adobe Reader PPC 2.0. Is there a freeware utility to set file associations?
file associations
I have solved the file association issue with Total Commander.
Still remaining is the problem with Adobe Reader LE on the htc Touch Cruise 2009. The ROM version clearly lacks the reflow. I have succeeded in installing another version of LE 2.5, both as a cab, and directly by copying the executable into another directory, and in both cases, I can set the file associations so that the new version, with reflow, is opened when I select a pdf file, either from a directory or from an e-mail. However, the program opens with a gray screen and stops. If I go to Menu --> Open, it does find the pdf files and opens them properly. Similarly, if I open LE 2.5 directly, it finds and opens pdf files normally. I assume the gray screen means the file open is aborted somehow, and it must have something to do with the simultaneous presence of the ROM version. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this? There is a workaround for the pdf attachments: I just tap and hold the attachment and save the file. It then opens normally in LE 2.5 with reflow.
registry change
Hi everyone
Sorry to ask what may seem a basic question but I am not very familiar with my device yet.
I have recently purchased a TOSHIBA TG01 and I am willing to use the reflow on adobe le 2.5.
Having read all the above, may I ask the following:
What is called registry, and can one make a step by step description of the registry change process that enables adobe reflow?... I mean after having switched the phone on, what do I do to change that registry ?
Does this registry change enable the bookmarking in adobe reader le 2.5 ?
Many thanks
cheers

don't quote me for this but i think he expanded the sd memory capabilities from the 2gb default to 16gb. so i'd say yes?
pretty bad explanation. However, if u mean u can use your memory, the answer is no. you can put music on pictures and such but the /windows folder etc. has to to stay within the device
Better explained, hopefully...
ok lemme try again, what i'm looking for is something most phones have had for a while, on my sony ericsson W580i for an example, not the newest of phones but not quite ancient, when you go into file viewer you can select whether or not you want to view the phone memory or the memory card, when you exit the file manager it remembers the setting and automatically saves everything to the memory card and opens the memory card by default.
Just wondering if this is a possibility with the s620 by either a 3rd party application or maybe a registry edit? hopefully someone out there knows how to do this as goin into the memory stick, into the appropriate folder and then find my files seems like a lot of hassle that need not exist :-/
hope this is better explained than my first post and hope someone can give an answer

I want to have my storage card be the default storage location for my emails, email attachments, My Documents and media files.
For my Tilt, I had 3 or 4 cab files that I would install after a new flash that accomplished this. Are there any cab files for the Tilt 2 that would set the Storage Card as the default location?

Thanks for the suggestion. I see it has settings for most of these options, however, there is no setting (at least from what I see) to move my emails to the storage card. That is actually the most important one to me because I have 4 or 5 email accounts that I want to sync with the phone.
Can anyone at least post the registry changes to make this happen? A cab file would be ideal, but I would be willing to make changes to the registry as well.
Thanks in advance!

For email attachments there is an option called "Storage" on the messaging options page. I don't think you can put the emails on the card because I think they are maintained in the PIM database in main memory.
I'm using SPB Plus, which puts an option into the Internet Explorer download menus so that you can change the download location.

I know on my Tilt I was able to save the emails on my storage card (even the MS exchange ones). However, I had a cab file that was about 1kb large that made the proper changes. Since that cab was written for a 2 1/2 year old device running WM 6.1, I'm nervous about running it on my Tilt 2. That's why I was hoping there existed such a file for the Tilt 2, or at least some registry changes floating around.
I keep searching but so far I'm not coming up with anything.

Do you still have that cab handy? Maybe if you post it here, one of the members can open it up and see exactly what changes it makes, so we can know what it does and if you can just run it, or make the changes manually.
(I'm almost to the point where I could do that for you, just not quite yet. It is possible though, for anybody who's used to assembling cabs)

I didn't even think about doing that. Instead of trying to describe these files, I could have just uploaded them. Here they go! Thank you for suggesting that. I really hope someone can repackage it for the Tilt 2.
I also attached 3 other files that behave in the same way for other types of items (temporary internet files, my documents folder, etc).
Thanks again!

These should work with your TP2. I believe this is what they do:
Temmp_Internet_SD.cab sets up the IE cache on the SD card
Rt_sd.Cab sets the system to use ringtones from the SD card
emailatt_sd.cab sets the system to store emails and attachments to the SD card
mydocs_sdcard sets the system to use the SD card when synchronizing with the computer.
However, you have lots of storage space on your TP 2. Why do you want to use the SD card? It has slower access than the main memory on the TP2.

These should work with your TP2. I believe this is what they do:
Temmp_Internet_SD.cab sets up the IE cache on the SD card
Rt_sd.Cab sets the system to use ringtones from the SD card
emailatt_sd.cab sets the system to store emails and attachments to the SD card
mydocs_sdcard sets the system to use the SD card when synchronizing with the computer.

I guess I can back up the device and give it a try. Is there anything in these files that can't be reversed by a hard reset - in case it's not compatible?
As for the use of the storage card, I have at least 5 (there are actually about 7 that I monitor daily) email accounts that I would like to have on my phone. I also like to sync not only the inbox, but many of the sub folders as well. On my Tilt, I actually ran out of room just from emails alone (attachments were on the card) before finding these cab files.
Once I get home, I'll give these files a try and see if they work or fry the phone...lol.

Yes, but the Tilt had a lot less memory, if I recall correctly. It is hard to believe you are low on storage on a Tilt 2 / TP 2! How much storage memory is left on your phone?
The changes are to the registry, actually all you need to do is backup the registry before running the .cab files. If it doesn't work, just restore the registry.

I ran the cab that I used on my first Tilt and it worked perfectly!
Thanks for the suggestion, I would have never had the nerve to use it!

Usually, cabs are built such that when they uninstall, they change whatever registry settings they altered back to their original values. However, as long as you do what stevedebi suggested and backup your registry before installations like that, you'll never be farther away than a quick backup from correcting any issues some cab might have left behind.
Nope a hard reset is the be all and end all of starting over. You cant screw anything up by loading a cab, even a wrong one into windows. A hard reset just loads a brand spanking new install of the operating system as it was shipped.

I didn't even think about doing that. Instead of trying to describe these files, I could have just uploaded them. Here they go! Thank you for suggesting that. I really hope someone can repackage it for the Tilt 2.
I also attached 3 other files that behave in the same way for other types of items (temporary internet files, my documents folder, etc).
Thanks again!

Can those *.cab work well with WM 6.5? I'm using HTC Snap.
Thanks.
Working great on 6.5

They work fine with WM 6.5. I use them on my Touch Pro 2 with no problems at all!
Cabs Did Not Work For Me, Anyone Else Have Problems?
Just installed 2 cabs below:
emailatt_sd.cab sets the system to store emails and attachments to the SD card
mydocs_sdcard sets the system to use the SD card when synchronizing with the computer.
The first only moved my SMS to SD card which I had already done w/SK Tools, it did nothing with my emails. Created a folder just called Mail and stuck all my SMS messages in it.
The second cab did nothing.
Anyone else have problems w/these cabs?
