This is an update on my previous topic:corrupt installations of programs.
(see below)
I also can't use the internet anymore, either way via connection with active sync by usb cable or wireless with WiFi mode. It does however states that a connection has been made, but when starting up Internet Explorer i don't get for example googles homepage.
When insterted in my desktop, active sync also replies it cannot sync properly. And i get a warning on the p3300 screen saying: could not get an ip adress or something like it.
See below the problem of my first topic:
Hi,
Could anybody provide help for me? My P3300 doesn't seem to be able to install any programs / games anymore?!? What to do, has anybody had the same experience?
Once I install a program from my desktop PC to the P3300 or when I copy the CAB-file straight to the P3300, I get the standard installation screen: "choose a location.....Device, Storage Card or Bluetooth...blablabla"
But when I tap either one, let's say Storage Card, the thing is loading and a 2 seconds later I get the same screen, but with the message: "pocketxpdf.sf.net pocketxpdf cannot be installed. To try installing again to a different location, choose a location: Device, Storagecard or Bluetooth."
How is this possible all of a sudden? Never had problems...there is enough storage space, I've never updated the ROM, just a soft-reset doesn't work either. I don't want to do a hard-reset yet until I know a way to export my Contacts so I don't have to bring them in manually again after a possible hard-reset. (since i cannot install the program EasyHelper anymore...)
Anyone have any clue, what could be wrong?

FIXED!!!!
I fixed it!
I have no idea how, but I can install programs again. And I can connect via wLan (WiFi) and use the internet again.
What I did was: I used Sprite Backup Software for PPC on my laptop which I used a couple months ago to make a backup. I restored this backup to the phone. After, everything worked again and I could install PocketXPDF 0.5.0 finally with success.
Only side-affect: I lost recent made contacts and recently made/received SMS text messages. I think Sprite also overwrote these files with the older ones I had still on my laptop.
So,people, you see: It's always usefull to have a backup of your devices!

With the simmanager, I can copy the phonebook on my sim to contacts.
But is there a way to reverse it too? I mean copy some contacts to my sim?
Thanks in advance
Hi
this is a very interesting question, I would need the same and was wandering about how to do it ...
anyone any idea ???
ciaoo
Isidar :shock:
In Contacts, if you tap and hold on one or more selected contacts it allows you to save to SIM.
Thnx DCS!!
You're the master :lol:
only one word:
GREAT - you are great

can you please explain how to do it step-by-step as my screen has broken :S or how to back up to a computer..?
Thanks heaps
the normal way to back up contacts or pim data to the pc would be: sync it!, put it in the cradle, set up a partnership, then all your pim data (except sms) will end up in your outlook and can be synced with any other device (replacement i guess). another way would be pim backup. but exactly how broken is your display, because your suggestion to back up on the device itself would require, that you at least see something!?
to get to the step by step part (in case your display shows information, but is maybe without touch function):
1. go to this site and download mymobiler (to control your device from your pc): http://www.mymobiler.com/
2. install it to the pc, it will install on the ppc automatically, once connected to the pc
3. if that worked, you should be able to see the device's screen on the pc and control the device with mouse and keyboard, so avoiding your screen problem
4. to the actual backup: go to http://www.dotfred.net/ and download pim backup 2.8 for your os, either the wm2003 or the "wm5 and up" version
5. unzip the package
6. copy the exe to your device
7. start it using mymobiler
8. choose data to back up, in your case the contacts (and maybe a little more)
9. pick the location, where to put the backup file
10. start the backup.
11. once it's done access that location and copy the backup file to your pc
12. through your broken device out of the window
13. take a new device, connect that to the pc, copy the pimbackup exe and the backup file onto it
14. start pim backup, pick restore, pick your backup file and hit start
15. as soon as it's done, your contacts, mail, calendar, whatever you picked to back up in the first place is restored to another device and possibly another os
if you don't have a new device yet, maybe you should think about just syncing the device with outlook, because your pim backup file will not import into other devices (non-windows mobile devices) or outlook or anywhere, you can only use it on winmo devices, while outlook pim data can be synced with nearly every brand of mobile phone, in case you pick another kind of phone as a replacement for your device.
in case you also want to know how to repair your device or where to get spare parts and so on, please re-post. for your one line i already sat here for 20 minutes writing a novel of things you maybe don't even wanna know
have fun, good luck, re-post

Hi,
I installed Tomtom3 but he didn't installed the voices
I uninstalled it and now I'm trying to reinstall it but the only thing he wants to do is reinstall the maps
I un/reinstall active sync, I did a hard reset and the PDA, same thing
any clue where this problem could come from ?
thx

strange story.
For these cases I have saved the appropiate cabs for TomTom: Navigator, GPS, Voice, Wizard.
I can now re-install without my PC.
Saving the cabs is possible when you do the install without the pocketPC connected and the search your machine for any cab files.
Remeber to put a file with the act code for TomTom if you really want to be independent for re-installing
first of all, thanks for the answerwell, can you be a little more explicit
I just tried what you told me and I can't find the installation files (cab) for the application
and actually the cd menu, is telling me to install the application first, but it doesn't give me the choice to do it
I guess there is a file somewhere, telling the navigator.exe is already installed
I don't get it
Guzz
you should uninstall tomtom completely.
If not possible i suggest a hard-reset.
Then run the ttn3 SETUP.
Its ok to have the device connected, but DO NOT acklowledge the question on installing in the activesync application manager.
Do a global search on your machine for *.cab
The names are indiative
Been running my MDA Compact III for just under a week now. Everything was going fine, tom tom working etc. Yesterday I installed SPB Pocket Plus , now I can't connect via activsync and can't delete any files (from phone or memory card), get the error message....
Error Deleting File
Cannot delete 'filenamehere': Access is denied.
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and the file is not currently in use.
What have I done? I've tried a soft reset, that didn't work. I've took the memory card out and can delete files when I put it in a card reader. I'm hoping if changed a setting somewhere but I can't for the life of me work out what I've done.
Can anybody offer any suggestions?
I've never had problems after SPB Pocket Plus was installed. Currently I don't have it installed on my device since I use it solely just for navigation thus I cannot find a more concrete solution but to try uninstalling SPB Pocket Plus and see if your problem is solved.
Thanks for your reply, couldn't uninstall anything so had to go down the hard reset route. Wasn't too bad though, I got back up and running in about an hour will all my programmes installed and working again.
Still don't know what happened though.

iam also facing the same problem. is there any alternative solution for this problem other than hard reset.
thanx
It may have nothing to do with Pocket Plus but rather the mysterious problem discussed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285511
I had the same message and couldn't delete the erroneous files. My solution was also to hard reset.
My view
Oh i had the same problem,these files become stacked and are due to long paths,use the tool available at pathtoodeep.com ,it is a tool which deletes and also searches such undeleteable files and also assists in installation and sharing of long pathed files
Hi,
I just flashed my Hermes to the Dopod WM6 ROM and performed an Spb backup recovery. Now my contacts do show up in the phone app, but my contacts app is shutting down immediatly after I start it up!
Anyone a solution?
Same Problem with contacts after SPB Backup!
I get the exact some problem... I don't know how to fix it, I can't even add contacts! I like new friends but not I can't even use my cool phone to get numbers anymore! Can anyone help me?
Solution to this problem!!!
Hey,
I've found a solution. The problem is that WM6 uses a completely different format to store contacts because of the tight messenger integration.
You can do 2 things to get your old contacts from your spb backup on your wm6 device:
1.) If you've got a second wm5 running device, load the spb backup on that device and sent them over to your wm6 running device through bluetooth or IR.
2.) Haven't got a spare wm5 device? Download the wm5 SDK including the wm5 emulator from Microsoft. Install the package on your desktop, reset your computer and run the emulator. You've now got WM5 running on your desktop pc! You can install cabs and also the spb recovery cab works fine. All your contacts will show up in the emulators contacts app. You can now manually copy the contacts to your wm6 phone (lotsa work!!! The way I did it...) or make a wm6 compatible backup on the emulator on your desktop and run it on your wm6 device. Sorry, but I can't advise you about which program you should use for that, but I know they exist!
Good luck!

Yeah, SBP doesn't play nice between rom changes...
Another option is this:
Download PIM backup from here. See attached.
Reflash your old rom, use SPB backup to get it back to the way it was.
Install PIM backup to your old rom, and backup.
Flash new rom, reinstall PIM backup, then restore.
Worked for me!

Had you checked the Artemis Wiki pages you could have found a possible answer. There has been an official patch released by HTC for SD cards getting corrupted. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_Problems
FIXED!
Sorry mate, but my problem had nothing to do with SD-Card bugs.
I already fixed my problem, see:

But thanks for your reply.
