The previous versions had the option to sync PocketAccess Databases, but new WM2005 models don't have this feature.. Anyone know why or a different solution to .cdb databases?
Yeah, I stumbled upon the same issue, found this on M$ website:
Note Synchronizing and converting Access database files is available only on devices running Windows Mobile software for Pocket PC 2003 and earlier.
What software do you use for databases ? I noticed SprintDB Pro isn't compatible with WM 5.0 either.
I use Syware Visual.CE

Arrogant Microsoft knows better and removes synchronization over Wi-Fi possibility in ActiveSync 4.0 and Windows Mobile 5.0 - more information available
May 23, 2005 [Wireless (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ...)]
Competition is adding features in new versions of mobile platforms. Microsoft is removing some features.
We have mentioned it already previously, that no longer ActiveSync over Wi-Fi will be possible in Windows Mobile 5.0, and now there is some addtional background information available about this serious mistake of Microsoft with regard to Wi-Fi synchronization:
the wifi/ethernet sync capabilities had to be removed in ActiveSync 4.0 for security reasons. When decision was made, there was plenty of disappointment internally and a number meetings where smart folks tried to find ways to keep the feature in without risking security and without slipping the schedule commitments we had made. Unfortunately, that ended up not being possible for AS 4.0.
To read more on this topic (rather lame justifications from Microsoft employees) click here.
Conclusion: again Microsoft behaves in a totally arrogant and disrespecting (for end customers) way: removes the feature that was heavily used by many people. While other corporations are innovating strongly (example: next version of iTunes will include native support for Podcasting, while next Windows Media Player and ActiveSync will not support it), Microsoft is removing features and not innovating at all - just imitating features that others had 2-3 years ago (as it is with camera API in Windows Mobile 5.0). Clearly Microsoft needs some urgent changes because something is wrong there.
This is the only reason i'm not upgrading to WM5...
WM5 needs AS4 and AS4 does not support sync over wifi, this is the feature i love most in my ppc, getting my mails, documents... everything while sitting in a meeting room.
hell... i need some alternate to activesync b4 i upgrade to wm5
My guess is that it won't be long before some third party is out with a solution that fixes that problem (fake serial driver accessible via WLAN or something).
I really cannot believe this!! I had a Himalaya and was happy with it. I bought a Wizard now for good money, just to have WLAN/WIFI and - I swear to god - in order to use it for Activesync!! I had a WLAN SD Card in my old Himalaya and it worked FINE!! Damn!
This news are almost a year old
Hi guys, looking for some pointers with this one.
Having usefully used Terminal Services on the TyTN to remote support Windows machines while out in the field, I've upgraded to the Kaiser only to find that not only is the improved Remote Desktop Mobile from WM6 not included in the build, but neither is the previous Terminal Services Client. This is a major problem for me as I don't want to have to carry two devices with me (never mind 2 SIMs and contracts!)
Having searched around it seems that Microsoft decided not to make the inclusion of Remote Desktop Mobile madatory in the build, but to offer it as an option to carriers and manufacturers. It also seems that this is something which none of the carriers has opted for - and definitely not Vodafone UK as in my case.
This really has crashed a major downer onto the otherwise brilliant bit of gear which is the Kaiser.
Has anyone any access to the RDM app for installation onto the Kaiser, or, failing that, an "easy" way to port the old TSC from the TyTN?
Try this... this is a remote desktop prog. for PPC on WM6 devices
Its available in the thread where all cabs are located (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332438), following the big link there will point you to the wm6 remote desktop cab (http://www.cinetsystems.com/xda/Kaiser Cab Collections/WM6_RemoteDesktop.cab)
Thanks guys, brilliant work and saved me loads of gief.
(BTW - I did search across the site but couldn't anything - I'll make sure I try harder next time!)
I asked this question a while ago in the Wizard forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2170324
And didn't get any replies that helped me
I managed to make a package that works to some degree however I can't get the Today item to appear or be available, however launching the application it does work.
If anyone can help I can post the package I have so far?
We have now this at work so I would like to get a working package so I don't have to keep installing it following a re-flash or hard-reset. I know I could include the .cab in the ROM build and then add it to the list of .cabs to be executed after a hard reset, but I would like to get it in the ROM and it's like a challenge now...
Cheers

This isn't free software is it...for what I found on Windows Communicator 2007 it appears you can download a 60 day version for trial only!
yep the mobile version is free...

I guess that's why many on the forum ignored this post. Anyhow, did any use this software? What special use can it be good for?

We use MS OCS (Office Communication Server) at work. It is the basis for the Office Communicator Client which is a Windows Live Messenger-like IM client for Corporate use. It integrates with your IP-PBX via SIP - its quite a big product and lets M$ compete in a different market....
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/communicationsserver/default.aspx
The Mobile Client is free and I use it currently on my HTC Kaiser (used to use it on my old Wizard) when I am in the office (WiFi). I would just like to include it in the ROM and so far I can't work out what extra bits happen as part of the .cab install that don't with the ROM package...

Resurrect this thread....
I never managed to get this to work as an OEM package so I ended up cooking the .CAB into my ROM and auto-installing it via the 'config.txt' file. I thought I would update my kitchen with the latest versions of applications I have in it and I thought I would try again with Office Communicator Mobile 2007.
Anyway I cooked it into my latest ROM and again it didn't appear on the today screen - it also isn't in the list of Today Items to select (however all the registry entries exist). As part of the OEM package I created a shortcut to the Communicator.exe in the 'Office Mobile' folder and I can launch it and use it without problems - the issue is it doesn't appear on the Today Screen like it does if manually installed via the .CAB.
Now after I have launched it once and then go back to the Today Settings 'Communicator Mobile' is now there and works!!! However if the device is soft-reset it returns to its previous state - not on the Today Screen and not in the list of items to select for display on the Today Screen.
Anyone know what it likely to be the problem as it looks like it can only be something simple?
Andy
Can it be used as a SIP client for paid VOIP providers, or just for the MS server?
Looked around everywhere for it, can't find it. I found Windows Live, but it does not include MSN a.k.a Windows Live Messenger. Anyone have the CAB?
This is freeware hope this helps.

My HD2 Windows Live has no "Instant Messenger" displayed
Tried your download and Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions
Help please
use marketplace to get the newest version of windows live messenger. i can't tell you anything about that system permissions error as i don't know the hd2 or the rom you are using, maybe the cab you downloaded is for qvga only, or for ARM cpus, maybe the rom you have has something like windows 7 UAC or maybe you don't have .net CF3.5 installed.

HD2 Does in deed have Windows Live Messenger which works via GPRS or WiFi connection.. It also has Instant messenger which works via SMS.
Edit: However, this isn't the right forum for HD2. Go to the HD2 Forum and you'll find more detailed info there. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=531
Thanks for the cab.
