I am running the WM6 test ROM on my DASH. I have Adobe LE but Mobile IE will not download any pdf files from the web (comes up with an error screen that says "This file type cannot be viewed on the device"). I installed pocketxpdf and it works fine (although it is for WM5 Pocket PCs), but still the same error message when trying to get a pdf from the web. Does anyone know if there is a registry setting I can change to solve this problem. Thanks.

Download "Pocket IE Download Plugin."
SN PIE Download Plugin.cab worked
SN PIE Download Plugin.cab worked. But I wanted to use Pocketxpdf as my reader, and the cab associated "pdf" with "pdffile". So I extracted the cab files and changed all "pdffile" to "xpdffile" and then created a new cab. Now Pocketxpdf opens the file as soon as I download it. Thanks, I would have remained totally lost without your link to the cab.

Does anyone know why some cab files open as atext webpage in PIE?
i'm trying to install supertasks 2.0 to my phone (no desktop pc nearby)
http://www.softwareandson.com/SuperTasks/download.php
It's a problem with the web page design. The cab file is not declared as the correct type on the web page. Unlikely that you can do anything to retrieve it on your PocketPC.
It downloads fine for me...strange.
Here's a trick: Right click on the item, and select "save link as..."
This should work.
HappyGoat - downloads fine for me too, on a *pc*
I think dah54 is right, can't do anything about it. Maybe Netfront will be able to d/l it.
I think its so stupid that a PDA is tied to a PC. It should be autonomous.
Has anyone else had this problem:
I've downloaded the PHMregedit msi from phm.lu (the activesync desktop installer version) and installed it in the same way as every other add-on, i.e. just double click the msi.
It installs to the desktop machine OK and it pulls up the ActiveSync installer as per normal BUT regedit does not appear on the ActiveSync "programs to install" list.
If I OK the install dialog then the install finishes up as normal but there is no "please check your mobile device for any additional required steps" message and the software is not installed on the XDA.
Everything else that I try installs fine.
Is there some other step I should be doing or is there a problem here?
Thanks
Pete
I just use the CAB file. Here it is:
Drag cab to my device/Documents/ run cab... then I get "unsuccesfull"
Any ideas?
RE
Why don't you try another FREEWARE registry editor, Tascal Registry Editor (TRE), here:-
http://www2r.biglobe.ne.jp/~tascal/download/pocketpc/tre_e.htm
It works well on my QTEK9000 aka Universal
Also read http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/menneisyys/UltimateRoundupOfRegistryEditors.asp
Thanks Guys... Should keep me busy for a while/
FWIW, I just had the exact same problem with PHM Registry Editor. It would load up just like another program, launch the ActiveSync program loader, but then nothing would appear on my 8525. I tried soft booting a couple of times and various other combinations with no results...
However, dragging the CAB file to my storage card and then running it from the unit seemed to do the trick. Thanks for posting that cktlcmd!

Hello :
What do i have to do to put this mms and internet configs atached working on wm6 ? They are from wm5,
Thnks

they didnt work..already have done...
Cab to PPC From Windows XP
You don't have to copy the cab to PPC to install the program. You can use this small utility to do the process just like you'll do with .exe files installer.
This utility is posted by Ryubai to PXDXA .
How to:
1. run the command xp_install.cmd inside the cab2PPCfromXP.zip archive to install the utility as a context menu command.
2. when you right-click the cab file,you will see "install to ppc" in contextmenu.click it and a dialog with which you are very simillar pops up......then you know what you should do next.
TQ.
cyphol is there any way to make CAB files like this for any operator?

There's always a way but you have to know the registry keys involved but I think there're many already floating around in this forum so you can try search for them.
Eh...for the Slovenian operators there are no CAB files...thx anyway

Hi, i've just upgraded to WM6 (Black Edition v1.1) without any trouble but i can't connect to the internet via internet explorer, i get the message 'cannot connect'. I've download all cabs (extRom and windows) and ran them all. I've downloaded cab2PPCfromXP.zip and ran that on the PC as described, although nothing much happens.
I have noticed after running t-mobiles cabs that instead of '3G' i now get 'E' which seems a step back.
If i Hard reset my device, can some give step by step directions to me having a normal UK T-mobile phone. I mainly use my phone for emails so i really need this side to work.
Cheers

I am currently in the stage of making cab files for all the operators, please PM me your carrier settings, aswell as mms settings, and your carrier name.
I will make a cab for that operator.

It's sometimes about wrong configuration of mobile ops settings you entered into the PDAs. So, make sure that everything typed in is correct.
Ever since the new custel, lsvw, black 3.0 and etc... I can't get gmail to work well on any of them. I installed the new midlet fix and still nothing - anyone fixed the problem?
Do those use the Java applet?
If so and it's the same one as Custel 2.5 (not sure about the other ROMs):
1. Attempt to download the gmail applet from the Get Faster gmail link from http://gmail.google.com
2. After waiting for the Midlet Manager to complete, exit both the browser and Midlet Manager.
3. Open the Java applet and select the option on the Menu to Install from a local source (which should be there after it fails to download successfully from the google site; a .jad file sitting in My Documents).
I have the file on my phone. If you need it, please advise. Hopefully, this helps.

Could you please post the .jad file. Whenever i goto the site for the faster gmail it detects my phone as LG CU500 for some weird reason. And the one it downloads, the login button wont work.
Thanks in advance for your help.
^^^ You can easily tell it that you are not that phone and will give you the option to download the 'general' J2ME version.
I know you can do that because sometimes I change my phone to be seen as a PC and I get an error close to what you are getting.
Worse case scenario, you can find and download the app to you PC then transfer to your phone. It will take you only a few minutes.
Please try again. If not there are other sites that have the java app. No disrespect but don't act as a lazy noob.
It sees my Softbank X01HT as a Dopod 730 (something close to this). I have attached the file; hopefully, this is what you are looking for.
Rename the file to gm-Generic-Advanced-MIDP2.jad (in other words, delete the .zip extension; it is NOT a zip file).

Why midlet?
Isn't it more convenient to have gmail connect with the standard inbox rather than a java midlet? That way you can set it to check your mail in your specified time frame? I've had it working with all roms i've tried this far, (dutty, lsvw, black, and custel)
wow.. the midlet works fine - better than the version detected as LG when we download from gmail directly.
Hi
When accessing the following URL from PIE, I'm supposed to select the Login link to access the rest of the site. Yet each time I select the link IE gives me an option to save the file (Login.do) to my mobile, instead of entering the site (refer attached screen shots for details).
http://www.investecmobile.com
or
https://mobile.investec.com
I've since loaded Opera to mobile and the link works fine. Also from desktop PC the link works fine. Installine PIEPlus did not solve the problem. It seems it's related to PIE. Any ideas on how to solve this?
Running Storm WM6.1 on TyTN.
