I would ideally like a car mount that holds the exec with it in landscape mode opened up so the keyboard could be used and if not, at least holding it in landscape mode. In both cases it would need to allow it to be charged so I can use it with bluetooth GPS system.
Anyone have any recommendations?
Cheers,
Roger
according to good reliable source, Brodit are issuing a cradle in the next few weeks, both active and passive.
Tomtom has run in Landscape mode for the past 2 versions Tomtom USA 2004 ( aka 4.4 ) and TomTom 5.
Check in Settings, last page, smiley face. Its indepandent of the current OS setting.

yeah thanks for that, just must be an issue with 5.1 on the exec, it runs then looses itself on occaisons, we need the update from tomtom for WM5 I guess......
Ta
The thing I was interested in in 5.1 was the increased support for GPS devices so Im running 5.0 with the 5.1 GPS cab file. The program runs fine but ive yet to pair it to my BT Gps reciever as its currently 4000 miles away! :lol:
Ill wait for Tomtom 5.WM5 to upgrade further as its working for me ( so far )

Doesn't your BT connection work at that distance? :roll: :twisted: :wink:

Hi,
Please visit my site for all Brodit cradles and proclips etc.
Many Thanks

This one? And it's cheap http://shop.brando.com.hk/universalwindshieldholder2.php
eeeeeeeek, no offence but thats not my sort of cradle, it might be cheap but i would trust my pride and joy in it. Thanks anyway
You can see the item 9133392608 is for the sale to the ebay.
The reasons I would like to share with you are the following:
1. The unit is not very practical for business use.For example on the road you have to open the unit and press the stylus . Totaly impractical , I use to have a P910i and I could do any task (e.g. check my email) in 2 seconds.
2. Although the screen is VGA you cannot take advantage of it.
3. With any ROM i had tried (inluding latest DOPOD rom) , only with i-mate latest ROM i have 99.99% reliability.
4. The BT (JX-10) disconects sometimes with all the ROM i had tried.
5. It is like a PC (I have powerbook MAC tiger since 1 year) that needs formating once a week so it can work faster.
6. The 3G (UMTS) it's nice but OS it is a big bottleneck.
7. It cannot be sync MAC OS X without any issues (like my P910 use to). There is a sofware called missing sync in beta for WM5 but it doesn't work always.
Why am I KEEPING my universal

1. the unit is very practical for using on the road (do you know any other laptop that fits your pocket :wink: )
2. you can use the VGA screen if you want to (its not easy though)
3. up to date stock info is more reliable then old info 8)
4. ..
5. its like a PC i can do everything i want on it.
6. i love having internet in the train
7. can sync with exchange server

1. If you don't know how to use it, it's very impractical yes.
But if you know how to use the keyboard, you can start any program and do everything without having to touch the stylus or the screen. It's perfect for in a car as I use it like that with a brodit carholder.
2. It has VGA and it's perfect for using remote control like www.logmein.com, I can connect to my homepc 640x480 full screen and start a download so when I come home it's finished, or check websites that don't work very well on Pocket internet explorer.
For as far the desktop of the pocketpc, who wants that in VGA mode all the time? it's way to small for that.
3. I use the latest QTek ROM and it has eveything I need like MSN, A2DP, AKU2 and is super stable. Nothing to complain.
4. I am using a bluetooth carkit supertooth II and a Bluetooth GPS at the same time without any problems.
5. It's like a PC I can watch series like southpark in the car with the sound coming from my car speakers with an FM transmitter. I watch videoclips, MSN, read email and the only time when I need to reinstall it is when I want to checkout another ROM.
6. The UMTS is perfect when my DSL is down, I connect my Universal as a modem and use the internet through the UMTS connection.
Download abut 45KB upload 7KB. Only for the low ping of 200-250ms it still is perfect for browsing and even downloading stuff.
7. Then stay with your P910 and your Mac. When you bought a Mac you knew you would have compatibillity issues with almost every program on the internet. Now the Universal doesn't work very well you balme the universal?
I am happy with my universal, and the complaints you are making has nothing to do with the universal. But with the user behind it .

Buying a Pocket PC for use with a mac is... mad, surely?
Next time, do your homework, and nice seeing you - enjoy your P990 forums.
I planned to buy a Universal on eBay, but after reading your post I decided not to bid on a machine as lousy as that

Use Nokia HS 12w...Stereo BT,FM and caller ID...I hope this eliminates all the "impractical" things
Speed and reliability
This is the key for a business phone appart from practicality.
I loved the phone for the 3G / UMTS connection but Microsoft had prooved again how badly they design their OS.
I agree with you that it is cool but it is a gadget and gadgets are cool.
But if you want to be serious and do some work , you would wait , upgrade the ROM when a new version comes up , sync again ...and waste your time.
It is no suprise that companies who control the biggest of the mobile phone market they don't use the WM as an OS but symbian.
On the other hand I am very happy to read this forum and I would missed that .

Using the ROM of QTEK the BT JX-10 lost it's service and I had to re-enable it at the time that I was in a meeting.
With i-mate ROM i didn't had this issue but sometimes the voice was breaking up.
hi
in one of the posts above.. i noticed that the author is using gps via BT
i love my jasjar and use a holux bt gps with the universal but every 6to 7 mins the jj goes screen off and i have to re-establish the BT connection

I don't know why that happens. If I were you I would do the following.
1. USe the houlx with another pocketpc to find out if the problem lies with the holux GPS or the Universal.
2. If it's the Universal upgrade to the latest ROM.
3. I use the Universal in my car with an active holder. So it's charging while I am using my GPS and the screen stays active. Maybe that has something to do with it but I doubt it. I use the Adapt 300 GPS by the way.

From your footer I see that you have a history with WM including VELO 1.
I had one too , and return it for a PSION and then PALM devices and never got a WM device only till recently.
FYI, the jasjar syncs with MAC OK with missing sync beta 2.5a10 .
I think I would go for an E61 nokia instead .
I just sold my O2 Exec on eBay too, for the same reasons -- not practical for business. Too "clunky" physically... OS and software too slow.
Back to my SX66 (BA)...

If a symbian OS mobile was using a 500Mhz processor than it would be able to make some coffee , wash the dishes ..etc.
WM5 mobiles are power / memory / system resources hungry .
Of course it always depends of the user , if you want the smallest notebook like a friend here wrote than it is the one.

I'm currently running BEPE's wm6 flash on my trinity and when i recive a call it answers in the phone rather then the car kit? I can't find a way to change this? Can anyone point me in the right direction?
where do you pickup your call, on the phone or on the carkit?
I use a sony bt2500 and answering the call on the phone will not redirect the sound to the radio/carkit. Answering the call on the radio will.......
i have the same problem
i use parrot car kit
unfortunitly when i pair both , the htc doesn't recognize that the parrot is a car kit , rather only as a bluetooth device

I have the Lasagna 3.0 KE and a Motorola HF850 Car Kit. I have the same issue, I tryed to answer in many ways (phone, CK, ) but no way...it always answer in the phone, after 20 secs the communication is transferred to the car-kit..
I installed all the possible software (incl. jetware) but nothing....

Perhaps contacting Motorola Customer Service...
I don't know if this is useful information but the official D810 WM6 ROM works well with the factory bluetooth car kit in BMWs. In fact the radio shows telephone signal strength which WM5 didn't do.
no luck maybe time for a new car kit

Hi, I have:
- TYTN with WM6 (latest version from Schap)
- VW Touareg with Premium Bluetooth kit (2007 touch-screen model)
The phone is recognised (the name), it seems to pair ok (had to put in a 16-digit PIN), but then the car kit cannot connect to the phone for some reason.
I'm not sure why, but what I do know is that SAP has worked with a Nokia phone (dealer tested it with me). There, it downloaded its address book. It doesn't do that with my TYTN. I have double-checked all my settings on my phone, it has SAP and bluetooth enabled
So, has anybody managed to see their SAP in action on the WM6 enabled TYTN, and if so did it work "straight out of the box" or did you do something magical that you're willing to share!!!
If it's not working I'll just buy a £40 unlocked Nokia with SAP support and use that, but preferably I'd like to use my own phone.
Thanks for your help!
- Install the BT SAP cab you find here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319468
- Enable Remote Sim Access
- Softreset
and it should be working. (does only synchronise the contacts on your SIM though, not the contacts in your phonememory)
Working here perfectly with VW Passat '07 with Premium Bluetooth Handsfree (ROM: Hypercore Lite SE). If you have any questions you can pm me.

Thanks WDawn,
Well it's promising you got it to work!! (yay!)
But I had spotted your post on the forum, downloaded the file, but the phone refuses to install it. I tried it on the older Schaps version, and I've even updated to the latest Schaps version. Both fail.
This is what happens: when I install in the Main Memory it says I do not have the required permissions, and when I install in the Extended Memory it says that it cannot install. When I tried installing it on the MiniSD card it produces the same as the memory message. I copy and pasted the file from my computer onto my phone, and tried installing it from the MiniSD card. I did not try to install it from the phone's memory itself I am just thinking.
Any idea???
Thanks!! (also thanks for confirming it's only SIM address book, forgot about that one )
To solve the issue of the permissions your should try this

If it's not working, reflash with Hypercore Lite SE. It's the best ROM out there.

You won't regret the (expensive) Premium Bluetooth Handsfree from VW. Never had such a good handsfree kit. Perfect sound quality!

I've heard the handsfree kit yes and it's fantastic, I agree!
Unfortunately, the file still refuses to install . Everything else works. I can install other things without a problem. I've unlocked the phone, checked registry settings (the policies one) and ran various unlockers. That seemed to do something (different security message, or sometimes none) but this particular cab file simply refuses to install.
So I'm afraid and you're right, I'll have to change to the Hypercore ROM... Shame because I liked the way Schap's ROM looks but I will try this because if it's just for looks I might be able to survive with another template
If in the meantime you or anyone else has any brilliant ideas let me know. Otherwise I'll revert this weekend - to let you know whether it succeeded or not (useful for others too on the forum perhaps!).

OK, I've reflashed my phone with Hypercore Lite SE and installed the BT_Test.cab file (which installed successfully) but it's still not working!!
Mind you, my girlfriend and I have the same phone (so 2x TYTN); I flashed hers twice (two diff ROMs), and I flashed mine twice. They are both "found" by both ROMs by the car kit, but once you've inserted that 16-digit security code the carkit gives it is paired but the carkit says it cannot establish a connection.
With both phones!!!!
I know the kit works as it paired with a simple Nokia effortlessly. That's probably because Nokia supplies the technology to VW.
So, unless someone has got a really smart idea, it looks like I'll have to buy a cheap unlocked Nokia 6230 from ebay...
I just find it really annoying you managed to get it to work (good for you ) but that the result is different for me! that's bizarre.
Anyone!??!?!?
Have you tested it with an official release of WM6 from HTC just to see if an unmodified version will work?

It's a good point - not yet!
Where can I download this from other than from HTC directly?? I have a T-Mobile Vario II and this does not come with an HTC membership (I've already tried via HTC's website)... Bit stupid really as it's the same device but there you go. T-mobile has no update unfortunately.
Cheers
Ah, I found a working link via the main page...
I'll post back to confirm the result - thanks!
Hope it works for you. If it does then you know it's probably some settings someplace that need tweaking or it could be a prog thats in the cooked ROM that just does not agree with your system configuration.
It didn't work.
After all that hassle of downgrading rom, SuperCIDing etc...
It doesn't work with the original HTC WM6 ROM arghhhhhhhhhhh
Always accepts the 16-digit code but then the "handshaking" stops; it pairs but the carkit "cannot establish a connection". As if it's incompatible, but then some other people managed to get it to work.
It's unbelievable.
Really bizarre
I'm [this] close to buying a Nokia 6230. Grrr.
You can alway put it back to WM5 if it's that important but I know you don't really want to do that. It was a good try though.
