Develop Bugs

6.1 Web Browser !!!!!!

I am just looking for the cad of the new wimdows mobile 6.1 internet browser
If anyone has it can they please post it..

I messed with trying to extract it.....but I really don't know what i'm doing yet... It looks like ie and sms should be possible.... Hopefully someone figures it out. I gave up....

So far I think it might still be buggy though. I've tried 3 different 6.1 Roms (PDAViet, Schaps, Pays) and the IE runs much slower than 6.0, enough to where I'm switching back to 6.0.

I can confirm this. 6.1 is VERY slow. The ONLY added feature is the Zoom feature and it is extremely laggy. Multiple times when zooming out a web page it would take 10-15 seconds... long enough that I thought the phone was frozen.

Have you tried Shadow 2.0 TE? I'm using this rom for the past 48 hours, looks pretty stable and fast!

Second that, I am impressed by how much faster IE 6.1 is compared to 6.0. It is actually usable now!

Wow, makes me want to flash again... after going back to 6.0 last night.

I;m using Schaps 6.1 and no problems with the IE here. After I figured out which programs were compatible with 6.1, that is.

ePocrates (medical software)--required hard reset d/t looping reset; this blows as I am a paramedic and the database was awesome tool to have;
Mobireader--didn't loop reset but it would hang and needed soft reset and the remove it from programs--also blows as I have several ebooks in mobireader format
quickmenu--locks up the system and slows it down horribly--would have been a cool replacement for the menu though
SPB Phone Suite--hard reset the phone without me having to touch the button ;-)...that was nice; not really losing alot of functionality but the call filter and voice mail counter was nice--most irritating because I paid for it and can't use it now
IM+ -- loads fine but when you try to connect, it closes the window out and you can't connect...not really important as I'm not an IM junkie *anymore*
Might be more but thats all I can remember for now.

Thanks for letting me know, but we're talking about IE 6.1, in WM 6.1, not 6.0.

That was common with all the 6.1 ROMS, not just that program. I knows PAYs Rom fixed whatever was causing it, haven't flashed back to 6.1.

Is there anything totally new in 6.1 that makes a good reason to update?
At the moment I'm using Schap's 3.54b german ROM... don't like to have to deal with english on the phone...
So the IE got a new feature, zooming? Like the opera-browser rendering the website in the original resolution and zooming in? Or how does it work? I really miss a search function, if I remember right there isn't one in the Opera browser, too. The zooming in Opera is good, though, even if I like the Iphone-browser more, specially with the multitouch-gestures.. but it lacks UMTS and a working keyboard, so I don't give my TyTN out of my hand!

Anymore? Did you found a better free tool for that? I did like the Uploadfeature for photos (also if I don't know what they do with the uploaded data...) of Agile Messenger. But they suck if they want 50$ for it. For my old nokia 3650 they took only 19EURO for the client...
I did try Fring, IM+ and the old official ICQ-PDA beta, too. But all are not stable or not really userfreandly. AgileMobile was the only one that did fit my needs nearly, but they want too much money.
kind regards
edit: oh and by the way: I installed the cab, it works so far... but where is the zoom-function and how does it work? I only find a "high resolution" in the view-menu, but if I click on it nothing happens...? I installed it to the memorycard and to the devicememory, too. No difference.

Oz Messenger and others

Hi there i also have a dutcht version of the excaliber and i have instalt windows live messenger beta on it but it keeps saying that there is a problem with my internet connexion. i am a orange costomer can any one help me with this?

I don't know what the problem is but I have the same issue on my Dash...anyone?

yeah it doesnt work for my Dash either. The first couple searches went through but after my Dash shut off, it stopped working after that.

Does anyone know where I can find the latest binary for WLM?

IM Client
Hello again all, I was wondering what program everyone is using for instant messaging? I'm using the one that came bundled with my t-mo dash but I just don't like it. Anyone have any suggetions?

You might as well do a search or take a look at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=290153&highlight=

I'm using Agile Messanger and I'm absolutely satisfied.

i am using the new skype. it works good with wifi and chatting also works with gprs after you once connected via wifi, the first time.

There is a new one that does them all (AIM, MSN, GTalk, Yahoo, ICQ, and Jabber) that is currently free and Java based. I quit using IM+ (which I paid for) and am using it exclusively. Currently the beta testing is closed while I think they upgrade their servers, but should open up again shortly I think).
It is supposed to be for the crackberries, but works great on my Dash and K-Jam:

Octro: www.octro.com
Free during beta. Big thing about it is it does Google Talk (VOIP) over 3g or even just 1x speeds.
Also does IM with GTalk, AIM, Y!, MSN and ICQ. It has a nice today plugin, customized away messages and auto-login/logout.

Works on my Excalibur and Blackjack..

I find Octro little bit strange as I don't see all of my contacts there and also Octro does not download the "nicknames" from ICQ server so I see only their IDs

Anyone know where I can get the OzInstantMessenger cab?

Agile Messenger is all you'll need. There are some annoying bugs here and there, but for the features it has, I believe it is the best option out there.

Wow, I have been using Octro for Gtalk but I had no idea that they also supported Y! and MSN! Is this a a new feature? I just updated mine like 3 weeks ago. That's wonderful (makes my paid version of IM+ looks positively lame).
Edit: Ahh, I am running v1.0 and v1.01 onwards added support for multiple chat clients. How fantastic!

it used to be until they unleashed that crazy pricing scheme. Plus, I get errors on staturp from it. It's never been the most stable either.

1.03 just came out about 3 days ago. It now adds vibration to the smartphone edition (which was lacking). It enables automatically in the "meeting" profile, etc.
such a great app. I'm hoping they add some SMS relay to the system too to save battery life (like Verichat had)...

McHale, did you have to do anything special to get JiveTalk running on your Dash or KJam. What version did you install? I am wanting to load this on my P3600 if at all possible, but I am getting java errors.
Thanks,
Shawn

I would also like to know how you got Jive Talk on the Dash. I just switched from a Pearl and liked using it on the BB, I would love to have it on my Dash tho. Any info would be great.

MSN Live
Is there a way just to get MSN Live from WM6 into WM5? Does anyone has it that could share it?

Text Messaging through PC?

I've done a little research into this and I'm wondering if there's an application to use that I can send text messages through my PC when my S620 is connected?
I found a Microsoft SMS program that seems to only work with non-smart phones. I would think they especially make an app for Windows Mobile phones if they have one for plain old cell phones.
Any know anything?

hey there
There's a product called TrueConnect but it aint free. Look for MyMobile which is almost the same, but ya cant text (that i know off) using it. If anyone knows any different, post a reply please.

DashWire allows it and it's free...

There are a couple of apps mDesktop and Jeyo Mobile Companion

i <3 jeyo ......i also love delicious cakes and pies..

Yes it works for 6.1 just great... i would recommend download it...

Thank you god: an official Facebook app

Works great, if not a bit slow
But has much better connection than the one taken from winmo 6.5 http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/facebook.mspx
Oh, and I saw a post about how to get youtube working on the excalibur... well theres an app for that:
Just go to youtube.com on mobile internet explorer and click the link to download it, works fine. (at least on the energyrom)
Oh, and I have found that with the energy rom I get the best reception. I don't know the radio version in it, but its awesome.
Oh and Smartgear is a sweet little emulator. Works great for pokemon red, crystal, etc and NES games. The exalibur isn't quite fast enough for sonic 2 though but it was worth my $10
haha, just some of my thoughts.

The facebook app works great No error events like the one ripped from 6.5 Thanks for sharing
EDIT: In fact, I am using it on my Diamond

[FIX](Test) Mobile Shell 3.5.3 Facebook Widget Broken in WM 6.5.3

DO NOT TRY THIS ON ANYTHING OTHER THAN WINDOWS MOBILE VERSION 6.5.3 OR HIGHER! IT CONSISTS OF A .DLL FILE DEVELOPED AFTER WM 6.1! YOU WILL DISABLE FEATURES!
I love using Mobile Shell 3.5.3, and I love using Windows Mobile 6.5.3, but the facebook and twitter widgets would not connect for me. I kept getting the error cannot connect. It was driving me nuts and forcing me to switch to a regular 6.5 rom. I figured out that 28002 was the last 6.5.3 build that these widgets worked on, so I pulled some packages out and added them to the new builds and viola! it worked. I've narrowed it down to the webview.dll file. This works fine for me when I cook it in, and I've tested the cab a few times. The widgets can connect now, and Internet Explorer doesn't seem to be affected. I don't use it all that often so I can't really say for sure if it makes a huge difference.
The cab is hard-coded to go to the windows directory and cannot be uninstalled. So this is kind of a one-time deal.
This is only a test and will need some feedback from others before we can call this one a sure thing.

I'm using a 28205 6.5.3 build, and the Facebook widget works fine for me.

No you're not. People are all over SPB developers behind in the SPB forums. So far they have just said that they are looking into it.
I'll back up my phone now and try this. Is there a manual way of uninstalling and getting back to the old settings?

So no luck. I am using build 23037 and the Facebook screen still keeps getting the "Retry" button. Internet Explorer seems to work ok.

I actually receive the same error, yet it updates my status anyway.

It works! It opens my default browser and there's a message about a bug in the application, therefore I cannot log in. But when I try again to open Facebook in SPB Mobile Shell it logs in.
My ROM: Energy.KOVSKY.23519.Leo_04.Feb.2010
Thx a lot man!

I too have a 23519 build this seems to have worked for me although only for google and facebook widgets the twitter does not say fail to connect any longer but it just sits on a white screen anyone else?

I'm have ing the very same issue using Flame build 23529.
Twitter widget sometimes say failed to connect with a retry button, sometimes it just displays and white screen and hangs the mobile, requiring me to pull out the battery.
I'm downloading the patch now! Will let you guys know how it goes.
WOOHOO!!!
It works!!
Thanks mtstmp!

WICKED!!! IT workedd!! you're a genius, i love the facebook feature of spb mobile shell too =D THANK YOU SO MUCHHHHHHHHH

Amazing this solved the problem for me too

thank .....works like a charm

My facebook works fine but twitter has never worked. I get a range of errors error 403, error 406, white screen or a twitter message about the page being invalid.
I tried installing this fix but its still not working. I have tried all the cookies etc.
Im using an hd2 with a cooked rom (WM6.5.5)
any other ideas?
Thanks

man ...thank YOU and F SPB

Works perfectly. Thank you!
Twitter's still borked though. After login and confirm it says sending you back to application and proceeds to lock up.

Thanks for the great work, FYI, this also fixed FIM's internal browser on 6.5.3.

still does not work
im using kumar rom 1.3 for tmobile and it does not work

thanks man this seems to be working for me I can at least get to internet explorer to log into facebook now i wasn't able to before. big thanks for that i can at least add pictures to my contacts now using facebook

Just gave it a shot and I also got the white screen. It also dissabled explorer for me. Used SK tools to uninstall and explorer up and working again. For now..... Thanks for working on this problem.
Stock 6.1 Rom on Vouge

it doesnt work for me...
I have a Palm treo pro and until last week both twitter and FB widgets worked fine. Now, no matter what, they won't connect. I tried using this cab but just got the white screen and stop IE for working properly, so I deleted and IE got back to normal. Thanks anyway...
Anything else we can try to make these widgets work?
