Dopod 900 ActiveSync problems - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Anyone else having trouble with Dopod 900 or other HTC versions ActiveSync ?
I bought Dopod 900 in China, Aug 29, 2006.
ROM version: 1.30.111.WWE.
ROM date: 04/06/06.
Radio version: 1.04.02
Protocol version: 42.37.P8
ExtROM version: 1.13.134 CHT
It was in Chinese when I bought it, but since I can't read Chinese, I had someone change to English.
Cannot successfully link up ActiveSync computer to phone using USB connection.
Problems: I cannot connect my notebook computer (SHARP MP30) to the Dopod 900 using ActivSync successfully. I downloaded the new ActiveSync this week. It tries to connect, then crashes the computer to bluescreen. I disabled firewalls and antivirus in the beginning. Phone seems to recognize the computer, but computer cannot "find" phone. Also, some things like voice automated calls don't work; Some functions are not Chinese and not English anymore? Any suggestions, or do I just us what works on it? Thanks
Current phone service provider: China Mobile. Later will take to U.S. and use T-Mobile service.
Hope this can be helpful to start discussions with others who have similar problems.
----------------------------------------
Sept 8, Beijing: Just figured it out myself. Maybe this will help any others with similar ActiveSync / Dopod 900 problems. Very simple solution actually........ DISCONNECT from the internet. Disable all firewalls and anti-virus temporarily. Then hook up by cable and ActiveSync works perfectly!!!

CAB extract?
Can anyone running this ROM somehow extract the CAB file so it can be installed elsewhere? I'd like to test on my PDA2K/2003 device in the USA.

SPV M5000 Woes

Hi there
I have just bought a "new" SPV M5000 - I say new as the box was still sealed but not sure how long it was on the shelf! Anyway I am having a few problems with it, such as not working with ActiveSync, appalling battery life etc...
Anyway, this is on Orange and has the following device info:
Operator version 7.113.1.130
ROM version: 1.13.49 WWE
ROM date: 09/20/05
Radio version: 1.03.00
Protocol version: 42.36.P8
ExtROM version: 1.13.130 WWE
I am pretty sure this is all out of date, but what is the best route for upgrading it all? I have seen some posts on here that discusses upgrading just the radio, or even replacing the ROM completely with QTEC..? I am not too fussed about keeping the Orange branding - just want a reliable ersion that will work with ActiveSync! Any comments/suggestions will be very welcome!!!
Cheers
Sean
Sorry to say but you have the latest from Orange. It's the same as mine.
I had no problem with ActiveSync before, but I've since done a reinstall on my PC and now ActiveSync wont work with USB connection with my firewall active (zonealarm)and have to shut it down for it to work. It still will sync using Bluetooth. I checked all my firewall settings and couldn't find a problem. Conclusion win xp the best(not)!! Try reinstalling your PC operating system and good luck
If you've got a firewall then change the access rights to allow active sync. This worked for me. As for battery, make sure Blue Tooth is off and keep the device charging when not in use. I keep mine charging from the USB at all times. I believe battery life is poor if you are in a poor service area where your device constantly searches for a signal. There's always an answer in the forums - keep searching.

GPRS / Exchange ActiveSync stops syncing

Since I got my Exec I've been having problems with GPRS seeming to get 'stuck' connected but not transferring data. After a couple of hours following a reset ActiveSync will sit there with the "Sychronizing folders.." message in Outlook for quite a while and then fail. I guess the connection is no longer there, despite WM thinking it is. As a result the DirectPush email is nearly useless and I have to keep resetting the device.
At first I thought it was related to AKU 2.0, so I upgrade to Helmi AKU 3.3 and now AKU 3.5, both of which also have the same issue.
Here is my device info:
OS: 5.1.342 (Build 15698.3.5.0)
ROM version: 2.50.00 WWE
ROM date: 09/20/06
Radio version: 1.09.00
Protocol version: 42.42.P8
ExtROM version: 1.30.162 WWE
Has anyone else seen this issue? Or more importantly, what ROM are you using that doesn't have this issue??
Many thanks.

i've had your problem, and solved it.
let me guess, you have a proxy configured to your internet settings - right?
if so, the activesync "inherits" those proxy settings (yes, from the ppc) and tries to use the same proxy - which it can't get to, because its using your home ISP and not the GPRS isp.
(i've checked this with a network sniffer (Ethereal) and i was right - the activesync tried to use the proxy that was configured on my device)
to prove you this is the case, create a blank, proxyless connection settings, and set "The Internet" and "My Work Network" to use it. (don't forget to check the V on "This network connects to the internet" on the connection's proxy settings.
after doing this, try to sync and voilla - it'll work.
to fix it permanently - read my how-to guide on using proxies.

Thanks for the info, shlomki. I think I may have explained my issue badly, as I think we're talking about different things.
When I talked about ActiveSync I meant on the PPC rather than through my PC. The problem I have is that for the first couple of hours I can get push email ok. But then my GPRS connection seems to get 'stuck' and ActiveSync for push email just hangs for a while trying to sychronize, but then fails.
Thanks again for the info.
oh, sorry, i misunderstood.
i don't know what can cause this..
maybe try to check if you can still browse the web when it happens? maybe its a issue with your connection..
Thanks shlomki, good advice. I noticed the GPRS login was the old o2wap, so I changed it to mobileweb and it seems a bit better. I wonder if it was some connection or bandwidth issue with the old login. However I will try what you suggest if I get it again and report back.
Well I've been using the newer O2 pay monthly GPRS login details and my connection seems a lot more solid! I've been testing over the last 24 hours and it's been working pretty consistent.

Which BlackBerry Client on my Artemis?

Hello,
I have searched hours to have a blackberry client working on my Artemis :
- have tried many versions
- have tried different ROMs from Meschle
Everytime I have same result I cannot connect to Blackberry and the black berry client does not show any service...
Anyone have HTC P3300 (Artemis) with working Blackberry client?
Please advise I I really need this for my work...
My current configuration :
HTC Artemis P3300 unlocked
Meschle's ROM 4.02 Lite w CUBE
I live in the czech republic and my SIM card is a T-Mobile one with all services activated (BlackBerry + Edge...)
Thanks

look in this thread

Dont work
Thanks for reply but I already read this post among many others it does not work on my Artemis... still cannot connect or get an IP...
How to know which version of radio i have? is it on boot screen?
Thanks
I have an Artemis and I am using the blackberry functionality successfully. Here is a site where you can find all information about HTC and blackberry:
http://sems.org/entry.asp?ENTRY_ID=276
Under Start-Settings-System-Device Information you can find all information required about the OS etc. of your Artemis. I use the 03.07.90 Radio version and it works fine for me. I use the Artemis Touch 3.01 Rom. Apparently nobody has been able to run the blackberry connect under WM 6.01.
For me it was crucial, to ask your IT department to re-activate my Blackberry account. Before, nothing worked and since then, it is quite stable. I use 4.0.0.97.
Hope this helps.
WM5?
Thanks a lot for reply.
So are you advising me to flash my device with a ROM containing WM5?
I would do it if I find that I can use BlackBerry as this is very important for me...
Are there any big differences between WM5 and WM6? Would I lack anything by downgrading ROMs?
Currently I have Artemis Touch 4.02 WM6.1 WWE ROM, 5.2.19199 (Build 19199.1.0.0) (Lite)
Thanks again.

Jeremy
As mentioned, Blackberry connect does not work with WM6.1, but does with WM6. I am using
Artemis Touch 3.01 Rom
which is based on WM6.
All OK
So I downgraded ROM from 4.02 Lite WM6.1 to 3.01 Lite ...
Then I installed BB Connect (same version as you as all others don't work with this ROM and my device)
Finally I got the everything working!!! What a releaf !!!
Thanks a lot!!
Nevertheless I am looking forward for next ROM from Meschle which will be compatible with newer releases of the BB Client...
Best regards,
P.S. I also tweaked registry in order to save my corporate emails to storage card instead of main memory!!
P.S.2 : Didn't you notice that your device is slower after installation of black berry services?
How did you do the tweak of the registry?
In some instances, my Artemis has become slower, sometimes it even seems, it hangs up. But it seems that this is the price to pay.
BTW, HTC and RIM have now entered into a strategic partnership and all future HTC models should be automatically provided with Blackberry connect. Thus we might see an updated version of Blackberry connect sonn, that also works with WM6.1.
...
Hey,
Thanks for update...
I have modified the registry this way :
1- add "PropertyPath" value="\Storage Card\Mail" datatype="string"
to this place in Registry : HKLM\System\Inbox\Settings
*** Note : Do not put quotes in the value... ***
*** You can edit registry with many editors such as PHM or TRK ***
2- Create a folder Mail in on your storage card
3- Copy whole content of \Windows\Messaging in the new created folder \Storage Card\Mail
4- Finally after you do this make sure that you take away the messaging today plugin from today screen (important... you can put it back after soft reset)
5- Soft Reset
-----------------------------
I have another problem now with the BB Connect. Since I installed it everything is fine just I have to unlock my phone every 30 min using a password. This is very annoying as you have to open keyboard and enter password everytime you dont use your phone for some time...
Do you have this as well?
Is there any way to disable locking of phone?
Thanks
Solved
I have solved the password issue :
I downloaded MEMMAID application which is able to manage system services and I manually stopped the BlackBerry Security service.
Be careful though this is a powerful piece of software which can really harm your device if misused...
advice : do not change the service startup type (auto/manual) just stop the service after each Soft Reset otherwise you will not be able to use your device after soft reboot.
I managed to get my Blackberry Connect working on my P3300. Here are the details:
HTC P3300 (purchased in India)
Artemis Touch 4.02 ROM
Radio 3.08.90
Blackberry Connect Version 4.0.0.97
Device Id set to HTC_P3300
HKLM\System\Version\AKU = .0.3.1
Carrier = Airtel India (http://www.airtel.in/wps/wcm/connect/airtel.in/Airtel.In/Home/ForYou/BlackBerry/)
Connecting to BES on Exchange at company workplace.
I see email, calendar, notes and contacts synced from my Outlook.
Thanks to all for the data/input on versions/radios, etc.
tip
Hey,
I updated ROM (6.1) and for some reason the connection would last few seconds and then I would loose IP address...
Long time I didn't know what to do and even going back to original working ROM it didn't work...
Finally, I deleted my internet connection and soft reset.. HOP the connection was up and running again
So now I will add again my internet GPRS connection (for www and other games/weahter...) and will see... Probably I have to setup some sort of exceptions in the lists to prioritize BlackBerry somehow...
Cheers.
BTW, BlackBerry works with WM 6.1 ! Also there is new version 4.0.0.100 which works as well for me.

Sync via Bluetooth unsucessful

Hi all,
I bought a Siemes SX66 but it does not have a data cable. Only a wall charger. But I thought I could sync it using bluetooth. Although my laptop, running Windows Vista Premium has builtin bluetooth, it only recognizes the following two services:
1)Wireless Stereo
2)Headset
Can someone please advice how I can seamlessly sync my device with the laptop without having to buy a cable.
Thanks alot
anybody???
i guess the answer is 'to buy a data cable'...
hmm
ok which rom do you use
did you installed windows mobile device center ?
btw your signature shows that you have HTC Universal and these are the Blueangel forums

hi xplode...
my device details are as follows:
Operator version: AKU3.2
ROM version: 5.04.06.WWE
ROM date: 03/02/05
Radio version: 1.02.10
Protocol version: 1337.35
ExtROM version: Helmi v1.1
windows mobile device center is preinstalled on my laptop as I am have the vista premium installed on it. Also, I have bluetooth adapter built-in in my laptop. I assume the it uses a microsoft stack.
The reason my signature had Universal is because i used to own one for the longest time. Then I moved from this platform to Sumbian and have just moved back. I bought a second hand Siemens SX66. Anyways, I will change my signature soon.
One more question: Is there a stable version of WM6 for this device or would you not recommend upgrading this device?
Thanks alot mate
