KaioneSoft SprintDB has not offered a solution for WM6. They still sell a patched version of their PPC2003 software that sorta works with WM5. At the KaioneSoft website there no signs of life since August 06 and I believe they are no longer active(except to collect money selling obsolete software).
My questions to the group:
Have you migrated out of KaioneSoft SprintDB?
If so what did you migrate to?
Thanks for your help,

I am currently helping them with a WM6 version - as you would be aware, the major issue is the difference in the synch, otherwise SprintDB works well in WM6 - think we are reasonably close to a solution... dont worry, I was getting mightily frustrated myself with this lack of movement. I now have the ability to synch - albeit not quite as elegant as previously.
Thanks for the response. And thanks for helping out SprintDB project.
Unfortunately a database solution without synchronization is not useful to us. For our application to function we need to share data...
My concern with SprintDB is that they move so very slow. So ok, thanks to you, we are near a solution for WM6. Where will be when WM7 hits? Lost again? The newer operating systems are addressing some windows mobile shortcomings like security. These type of improvements more then interest me a little.
I've tested all the latest versions of our software on WM6 and SprintDB is the only one that won't function for us.
It would be good if KaioneSoft would keep us updated through their website, instead of pretending that the issue doesn't exist. Forcing their long time users to wade around the internet forums for solutions. I can't understand why they don't make the issue known on their website, unless they expect to sell to WM6 customers. I'm sure they refund unsuspecting WM6 purchasers, but not being forthright about the issue is more then a little shifty. I'm questioning if this software vendor is responsible enough to trust my databases to.
I have stopped further development with SprintDB and we are testing other solutions. So far Syware is the leading candidate and appears to be a very active company. Has anyone other opinions on database software for WM6?
Long time SprintDB user losing confidence,

Hi, I've been using a SprintDB Pro database I developed a couple years ago, and now I'm looking at upgrading to a new device with WM 6. I use this app everyday, now have over 8000 records, and I was so bummed to learn that (1) ActiveSync 4.5 it seems does not support sync'ing databases anymore, and (2) SprintDB doesn't sync on WM 6. I would hate to have to ditch this thing and start over on another db product.
Any advice? Without the ability to sync on WM 6, then what? Can I at least back up my database? Would there be some other way to convert the cdb to something i can edit on the PC?
Any idea *when* SprintDB will fully suport WM 6? (Call me cynical, but hearing "I think we're reasonably close" does not sound to me like a release will happen very soon.)
Does anyone know more about this ActiveSync 4.5 limitation? Does that mean I just need to stay with an older version, or is there more to this?
Finally, if it does come to switching products, any other suggestions besides Syware (which I will check out)? Do any allow me to convert my forms, macros, etc. from SprintDB?
Thanks for any answers or advice!
Sprint DB
Wow, an impressive set of questions.
First off MLK is correct the program itself functions properly under WM6, the issue is with the sync. The sync issue exists because M$ removed Mobile Access support starting with WM5/ActiveSync4. SprintDB developed a work around that made AS4 function with their program that was designed for PPC2003. That work around no longer functions WM6. because M$ further slashed AS4.5
WM6 requires at least AS4.5 or Vista.
SprintDB told me in March 07 that a WM6 sync fix would be available in July 07. We are still waiting. In SrintDB's defense: I think this task is substantial, they are attempting to develop an Activesync type database sync with a deliberate slash of support by M$ in AS4 and 4.5.
It sounds as if you don't need to merge your PC database(mdb) with your WM database(cdb). If you can get away with simply converting your cdb to mdb and back to cdb, although a bit clumsy a program like "Access Converter" free from Kaisoft may be a work around. You could then stay with SprintDB saving the development cost of a migration.

If you need to manage two databases the merge their contents ie WM6 <-> W2K the only solution I see is ODBC. This has the advantage of syncing your data via cell or Wifi connection. Unfortunatly this will involve having to redevelop your forms queries structure in another DB program such as Syware. I'm not aware of conversion utilities to migrate from SprintDB to another aplication. (Hint to developers reading in: You could gain the entire customer base from SprintDB if you offer such a function.)
I'm still looking for other DB options if there are suggestions.
Hope this helps. Good Luck.
Thank you N2O2, that was a very thoughtful reply and quite helpful.
The word I got from KaioneSoft Support is they expect to have a new version with sync for wm6 in about 1 month. If that happens, I'll be happy. Meanwhile, it sounds like Access Converter will let me squeak by until that release.

KaioneSoft sends this answer every month, does this whenever you send a message that requests the solution to this problem.
Sorry guys, meant to correct this ages ago & only just noticed... new version is out & works with full sync - not as good as previous in that you have to initiate the sync, but at least it works.
Further to this, if the PPC has low memory, or the DB is "of a size" then sometimes the sync can incorrectly report a successful sync - I have another beta I am testing that looks to resolve this, so go 4 it, it looks like they have come through at last.
Works about 95%
Go for it, SprintDB is back & working better than the betas - have been using it noe for a few months without a hitch, save the odd refresh (thats why the 95% - think it gets tired every so often, mind you that be because my PPC is a memory hog & something is chewng it up without my knowledge - not SprintDB, something else I havent tracked as yet)
SprintDB working great but...
HI all,
I have been using SprintDB for years and love it. The new version seems to be working well, but I have sent in 4 support questions to KaioneSoft over a week ago and received only one response in the last few minutes.
I backup my data by exporting the data tables to csv files throughout the day. Twice now I have gotten an "Out of Memory" error at the end of a day, and the program crashes. I have tracked my memory use after each csv export and see that 1M of memory is added after each csv export and never released. So my memory gets eaten up all day long until I run out. Of course the workaround is just to close the program occasionally and reopen. But since you can lose your most recent changes I wanted to warn others about this problem.
Also, I noticed that I get an error message after about the second time I sync data, yet the data seem ok and I can't tell what is causing the error.
Anyone else with this issue?
Thanks,
Pat

Which version are you using - this sounds very much like an old beta I had a while ago. FYI, I am using 1.5.0 (Build 1920)
Hi folks,
A couple of years ago, I wanted to write an Android phone app that would look-up the incoming number against an sql table and if in the list, it was considered a spam or some telemarketer and would automatically answer the phone and play a per-recorded message and then hang up. not letting them get to my voice-mail.
It turned out that one can not do that with Android SDK and answering the phone can not be done by a program. I need your advise.
I now have a much bigger project in mind. One that would turn my phone in to a speech ready device that would connect my blue tooth headset into a microphone and speaker that allows the phone to understand about 20 commands. Such as Dial 888-555-1212 or when I get an email, it will ask to show it on the phone or read it to me.
It will act as a mid tier sitting between my blue tooth and main computer where a lot of the server side code will be running back and forth between the phone and the server using WiFi or 3G whichever is available. (Programs that are too big or complicated to run on the phone).
I know this is a big project and I am willing to spend up to 2 years developing it.
I am good at SQL, C, Java, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript and PHP.
Any advise or pointing me towards the right direction will be much appreciated.
For example;
Learn the Ubuntu kernel (source code)
Learn how to use the existing device drivers or write my own to use the data from the GPS, Gyro, etc..
Etc...
I figured some of you guys have done something like this before, so why not ask the people who've been there and done that?
Thanks.
Nevermind. I'll just modify the ubuntu touch kernel to suite my needs.
Hi there,
For more than a year ago, I found this LG E-975 at my work after closing (I work at a restaurant/night club) and tried to find the owner..posted on social media, asked guests and waited for anybody to turn up, but no one came in and asked for it..so after around two months I turned it in to the police (swedish) and after almost 9 months I got a letter from them that I could come and collect it as mine, because no owner was found..
However..
I'm an apple-user (prepared to be hanged until dead) and found this phone when i was cleaning som boxes out, and was remembered why it was put there...it's a passcode on it, and I don't know if you can restore it without the passcode or so..
Was thinking to give it to my stepmother or little sister when it is of no use to me, but want to restore it before and make it usable first (of course..)
Have never used a LG in my entire life, (except for the tv) so I have no idea of what program to use or anyting..
Is there someone who know what I can do?
I'm on Windows 7, 64-bit if it helps anyting
Regards,
Jesper
So like the title says, my dad locked his Lg G5. The Android Secure-Startup is currently at 9/10 attempts left to before all the data on the phone is lost. He hasn't used this phone in about over a year which means it's no longer in service and not connected to the internet. The phone is completely stock, I do not know what version of android he last installed on it, and I believe I only have access to the phone through Recovery and Download mode. Is there anyway I get can remove the pattern without having to perform a hard reset to the phone, my dad doesn't want to lose any of the pictures he has on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sadly you are out of luck most likely. You would need to resort to the sort of law enforcement phone encryption unlock methods that we all heard about how fbi wanted apple to bypass the lock screen for the san bernadino killer? It's not impossible but It will require a lot more resource than you can get on here ;(
If anyone got something else they can offer, i am sure it would be welcome... but my guess is not. ;(
Hi all,
I've actually got a Nokia G50, but I think the unlocking mechanism is likely to be similar for all the G range phones.
I just wanted to find out - what do we know about how HMD Global typically lock the phones?
I know there is a file, but if anyone has any tips or hints as to what format it is in perhaps that can give us a head start to cracking it.
I think brute forcing isn't going to be a viable option, but anything like how many characters of data is in the key, and what it uses along with the IMEI to generate it would be useful.
Any information about how any other Nokia unlocking key works (for the ones already opened) would be helpful also.
It'd be great if we could find out enough to get started trying to think about how to open it.
