Blackberry Connect WORKING on 8525 and new Official ATT WM6 ROM (uncooked)

Ok FINE! After being ignored for two days, I thought I would help the New folks out here get this working!
I got it working and all is FINE! Here is what I did. I will not post links so I do not violate any sort of TOS in this site.
After I upgraded to the new ROM from HTC's site (the official ATT ROM not anything cooked) I upgraded my Activesync to 4.5 (must have this version)
Then I downloaded BBC Desktop 4.0.0.18 (google it)
Then I downloaded BBC for the PPC 4.0.0.91 (google it)
Install the Desktop stuff first then the one on the PPC. Once installed, REMOVE THE USB.
Once it is installed on the PPC, let it is come up on it's own. If it does not reboot it, go to Start -> Setting and click on the System tab. Click the BB icon. It will ask what services, select Cal for now. Click Next through until is restarts. It will then tell you that it is ready for first use. From there, you may need to reboot your device.
You should now have the BB icon in the bottom part of the Today screen. Click it. It will take you the BB settings sections. Let it spool and get a PIN. This may take several minutes. You will then notice it connects and gets an IP. You are almost home at this point. Once it says Connected in the Status tab you are good to connect it back to the USB cord.
For BES applications, make sure the computer you use for work is connected to your MS Server or network or whatever you do to ensure you are getting emails on your work computer. This will ensure your BB Desktop software can "see" your server. Once you know you have "LAN" connection, open the BBC Desktop software and let it find your device. Click on the "Configure Device" button on the bottom center of the BBC Desktop app and VIOLA!
I hope this helps!

I am not able to find BBC Desktop 4.0.0.18 version even after googling , just to make sure is it 4.0.0.18 or 4.0.0.84. Is this desktop component mandatory , can i skip it . I am new to all this. My company gave me a number to call to activate the service . It was a sort of *56436 ;just an example. But i cant call this number as i have AT&T service , it says check the number.May be this number is callabe from a blackberry device ? Please let me know if you are aware what setup they have.

I have At&T unlimited data plan . Do i need to switch to BIS plan from them .Is 3G internet available on BIS. My company asked me to add my company email (and provided me with a temporary password) and asked me to click on activate button . does this mean they have Black berry Enterprise server ?
The BB network is available on my phone but the PIN and IP are pending. Is this due to taht i dont have BIS enabled from them?

The best way to remote desktop??

First off Hi all and Im no longer a XDA virgin, or I wont be in a few days anyway
I borrowed my mates old mobile phone that has mobile 2003 SE to see if I could control my desktop pc with it, thats running vista 64bit, so I can turn on my desktop pc, run winamp and play all my tunes from my bed. I must of tried 2 or 3 bits of software with no luck each time. then I noticed the "Terminal Services Client" that win mobile had. That sort of worked and I did remotly ran winamp, but it wouldnt play for some reason?? But the software kept hanging and crashing so I couldnt really do much anyway. Ive looked for another version of "Terminal Services Client" for windows mobile but theres none.
Tonight Ive just bought my first mobile/pocket pc "SPV M2000 / HTC Blueangel" for £60. Its been upgraded to windows mobile 6.1, so my question is will I have better luck with remote desktop on windows mobile 6.1 and does 6.1 has "Terminal Services Client"? If not what is the best software for remote desktop for win remote 6.1?

vncviewer
can't answer your question about 6.1, but a good simple solution might be the decent little vncviewer program for windows mobile on sourceforge. works good on my htc wizard 100 (a.k.a. cingular 8125) running winmo 5.0. I use UltraVNC server on the PC - good encryption and the works. not sure whether the remote assistance or terminal services is as secure.

For me tihs is the best:

there's two big different strings of remote desktop programs, one logs you in and you have your pc's desktop on your device's display and you have the full pc experience, but, it logs you off on your pc, like pc to pc remote connection. the other one is to control your pc and still have the pc running for itself, just as an external control or HID device.
if you want the first, the full experience, i would recommend wm6 rdp, just google it, it is freemail and works like a normal remote desktop, meaning you need to configure your router and your pc to do that. it's freeware by the way. in general i would not use iton a blueangel, because 240*320 is just too little to have an overview of the pc's desktop, which, in my case has a resolution of 1680*1050. i do use that program on my universal though, and it works just fine.
the other thing is to use the HID, the bestestest program for that is ppc tablet, unfortunately it is not free, but it's great, you stay logged on to your pc and can control winamp and any other program, use your touchscreen as a touchpad, like a notebook's mouse, you have a lot of possibilities. here are some links you might want to have a look at, too.

will add more, when i found them, but you can also search for remote desktop in the forum and you find a lot of results, that might help you get it to work.
EDIT: here is the link i was looking for:

this is the official great round-up of the best remote desktop programs out there, you can look up, what you need, what and if you are willing to pay for that and the functuionality it offers

Thanks guys.. I will have a play about when I get the phone hopefully tomorrow. Basically what I need the phone todo, is turn on my desktop from standby, run shortcuts I have in my start menu of my playlists, control winamp and put my desktop pc back onto standby. Then I dont have to get out of my pit at all,. What would be nice aswel, if the phone could remember my password so I dont have to log on to windows each time.

oooh, i just saw... "turn on my desktop from standby", that could become difficult, since neither the real remote desktop services, nor the addon services can run in standby and realize your approach of access, for example: some services like ppc tablet (which would be great for your winamp uses) need a server program running on your pc and a client software running on the ppc, but technically the server wouldn't run in standby, and as i mentioned before rdp services do neither, the pc needs to be turned on and connected to your network to be accessable. plus there is no such thing as "power on wlan", so that wouldn't work either. putting the computer into standby isn't that much of a problem, with ppc tablet you can simply navigate the mouse cursor to do so, in rdp services there is no direct function for standby, because in the version you get on your screen, the start menu's shut down,... commands are changed, but you can make a shortcut on the desktop to do so. i don't know about the command now, but google certainly will.

I did try the wakeup on lan, when I tried it with my mates phone, and it did wake me pc up but the "Terminal Services Client" on his phone kept crashing for some reason, and winamp loaded but couldnt get it to play for some reason.

How TO Access Network Places on Excalibur over wifi

Is There ANy Software Or CLient For Excalibur thru which we can access files (shared on PC) on my excalibur!!

No!! loooooooolllll

Yes there is a version which is a PRO version of logmein.......

Um...You could use logmein to remote into your computer but then you're not really accessing network shares in the way that you initially described. When you use a remote tool like Logmein to transfer files you're using FTP or SFTP rather than just a network transfer from one device to the next.
What you initially described would be a Windows service that is not integrated into the WinMo OS's.

I have used a program on an HTC Universal a looooong time ago that allowed access to network shares. I have no idea where it came from or where to get it now, though...
It was a pretty simple interface. Maybe that was just the difference between WinMo 6 Pro and Standard?

If you have an OS running IIS you can use the directory access functionality. I have used Windows 2000 Server and my T-mobile Dash this way and it worked good. IIS is free on the Server versions of the OS and I believe it is available to install on XP and later desktop OS. If you like Linux you could use the free open source Apache Server too.

Free app to access PC
Check out Orb software. You have to leave your PC running and net connected, but if you have internet access on your Dash, you can access files on your PC through Orb's website.

Touch Pro 2 WM 6.5 - Wierd Issue

Hi,
Just got the touch pro 2 and its awesome. I upgraded to WM 6.5, so I don't know if this post would be better in the Rom development folder, but here goes.
When I attempt to connect to my school wireless network it asks me to Download Cisco Clean Access Agent which is a utility that Windows Computers use to connect wirelessly. Previously with my HTC Trinity on the same Network w/ WM 6.5 and IE (not Opera) I was able to login using the web-login.
Basically Opera is saying the wrong thing and I obviously cannot run a Windows Login tool from WM6.5. Anyway work-around from the Opera stand point? Or should I use IE?
(BTW, I can't find IE on the phone anymore, maybe its not included...Does anyone have a CAB file for the New IE that normally is included w/ WM6.5?)

There should be a setting in the browser that allows the phone to be identified as either a mobile device or a PC. It's likely that the school network is seeing it as a computer and thus trying to install the software. Try changing the setting in the browser so that it is identified as a mobile device.

Thanks for info...any idea where that setting may be in Opera.. I checked the settings and Under Advanced I only found 3 checkboxes: 1 for Plug-ins, Cookies, and Javascript?

Under Display - there was a checkbox for Mobile View (which I tried, it only changed the way I saw the website, but it still asked me to Download the clean access program).

Report The Issue To Your School IT Staff
My university uses Clean Access, and there are ways it can be exempt certain IP-based devices. Smart phones, printers, scanners, etc. are all those kind of things.
Yes, you could tell Opera to mis-identify itself, but those of us who work in IT would rather do it properly and set rules to exempt devices. Yours will not be the first on your campus, so the sooner your IT department is able to get this issue on the radar screen, the better for all concerned. Help them help all students, not just solve your own issue.

Thanks, I'll go by and see what they do about it.

[Q] TP2 wont sync with WMDC on Windows 7

I really dont know why for the last two years Microsoft hasn't done anything for this very known issue. It seems they want all of us to use Microsoft My Phone service and put all out private data online.
The problem I am having is the following:
I am plugging my phone to the usb port using the original cable and if it detects the phone it will start syncing ...but this syncing will not actually start. The progress bar does not move.
Initially and for a couple of times after it synced fine. But then I got into this situation.
Of course like most of you know if I delete the partnership and make a new one it will work. But then what is the meaning of collecting data on TP2 when they will be deleted after making a new partnership....so there is no purpose of trying to sync if I have to make new partnerships once a while.
I have been trying aaaaalllllll the solutions mentioned in dozens of forums
ie:
unchecked faster data synchronization
checked if the right services are running
followed this procedure also [TUT] Dummies guide: updating HTC USB Sync Drivers
Checked my firewall settings, also disabled the firewall during sync.
disable third party firewalls and anti viruses
I have windows 7 ultimate 32bit, WMDC latest, and WM 6.5
I wish I could be proven wrong but I am sure that there is no solution to this problem. A 400euro operating system and a 500euro phone can not exchange information.

I have exactly the same problem (TP2 but running x64 windows 7). Did you manage to find any solution? Anybody?

Uncheck "Enable faster data synchronization."
It works just fine for me on W7 Pro x64.
If that still isn't working, consider switching to a different sync option, like BirdieSync and Thunderbird. That's what I use normally. The only caveat is that you need to set up a new partnership each time you flash, which is the same on WMDC anyway, so not really a big deal.

Sorry, I don't have a solution. I'm writing to say that I sync mine all the time with Win7 Pro x64, no problems at all.
I had a problem one time, and deleting the partnerships on the phone fixed it. Note that I do not sync emails or files; I don't use outlook for emails, only contacts and scheduling.
Have you tried doing a hard reset and then syncing the phone before you install anything else on the device?

I switched to 32 bit windows 7 and everything is ok now.
the only sync I can not do is through bluetooth.
the phone is freezing

Perhaps the device itself is failing, then. If you are only able to sync with bluetooth, then it would seem likely that you would have a faulty USB port on the phone. Have you tried doing this with the stock ROM?

Win 7 64 bit
HTC TP2
Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC)
I was just about to ask a question about the same problem, but I see a thread is started already.
I just built a new machine, and when I first plugged the phone in, everything worked great. WMDC recognized the phone, loaded the drivers, and it sync'ed with Outlook 10. Everyone was happy.
The next day when I plugged my phone in, Windows Mobile Device Center does not even recognize that the phone is plugged in. WMDC shows not connected, I don't get the little "ding" when it connects/disconnects, and it doesn't show up as anything under "computer" when I click on the libraries folder.
The ONLY solution I have found is doing a soft reset on my phone. When I do that, it sync's. But as soon as I disconnect it and reconnect it, I get the problem as described above.
I haven't done ANYTHING to try to troubleshoot this problem other than uncheck that box on the phone that allows the phone to fast sync. Any advice appreciated.

Yes I have tried that Im using Vista. Thing is the HTC do come up with progress bar on the phone. Way to weird and frustrating.

Now everthing is connected and its only when the tri colors on phone comes everthing disconnects then the HTC emblem is there showing progress as zero.

When I'm in the WMDC and setting up a partnership should I check any of the options.

Like many others I have not been able to sync my HTC TP2 with my new Windows 7 64 bit computer.
I found a fix that worked for me. After many attempts to sync my phone and WMDC showing me it is connected, but at the same time show an error icon with no explanation, I thought I would do a manual Windows update to ensure I had all the drivers needed. After going to START> CONTROL PANEL> REVIEW YOUR COMPUTERS STATUS....I noticed I had an message that said there was an update for my Pocket PC. I downloaded it and it was an file called "drvupdate-amd64.exe".
I connected my phone by a usb cable to my laptop and selected RUN on the above file after downloading it to my desktop. It showed a status that was updating a generic driver and one other drive.......then WAMO, WMDC opened and my HTC TP2 showed it was connected and started to Sync. YEHAW!
