Hi,
:idea:
I'd be interested in everyone's comments re the slowdown caused by adding programs, and I guess others would too.
Part of it is normal caused by eating up the available memory, both storage (and ram?)
However I have found that some applications do not seem to work well on the XDA2i, even though they do actually work. The problem is that this only comes to light after a while, after you've actually shelled out the money for a product that seems fine.
I list below products that I have found work on my XDA2i and those that seem to irritate the XDA2i so that it gradually gets worse and needs a hard reset.
I have tried defragmenting, and believe that Pocket Mechanic works fine a few times then things grind to a halt.
I am not an expert, and obviously cannot prove that the products are faulty, so take what I list 'with a pinch of salt' - but it might be that others might add others or agree/disagree with my findings, and might be careful about thoughily testing before purchase.
1-Calc 2.3.1 seems fine
BIBLE WITH YOU for Pocket PC- GMPSoft seems fine.
Journal Bar seems fine
POCKET ARTIST seems fine
Pocket Controller- Professional 5.04 seems fine
POCKET DVD WIZARD seems fine
Pocket Streamer Pro seems fine
PocketBible - NIV Version by Laridian seems fine
RESCO EXPLORER 2005 seems fine
TCPMP (The Core Media Player) (freeware) seems fine
MTUX RingToneX - Ringtone Coloring 2.1 not sure about this
DVD to Pocket PC for me was problematic after version 2
1-Pass - Revolutionary Security App not sure
eXPerience (Windows XP Style Interface) had this running ok but slow on XDA2 but not tested on XDA2i
File Transfer Anywhere(PPC Anywhere) 3.01. Tried trial period but didn't like it.
iLOCK e-wallet password manager 1.0.1 had this running ok but slow on XDA2 but not tested on XDA2i
POCKET TV ENTERPRISE worked fine up to version 1.2 on my XDA2i
Pocket Mechanic. Not sure. I bought it to defrag XDA2i and storage. Found that after a few times the system slows down and needs to be restored.
TV Remote commander. Not sure about the usefulness because Very limited range.

andromeda9,
try using Tweaks2K2.NET. quite amazing tweaking software. can speed up your display. i can feel the speed different.....
Tweaks2k2net
Thanks Clustered.
I've downloaded the trial. What settings worked best for you?
Under Video, I tick the Speed Up Display.
Thanks the display is quicker...
Thanks for the tip...
The display is quicker.
It seems overkill to go for Tweaks2K2 but just for one display fix, and the Date/time on the bar (I love it!) so is there anything else you might recommend?
Thanks
just try yourself....maybe you will like others.....
Ok.
Appreciate your help.
I removed O2 Active and the XDA2i is about 10 times quicker and more reliable now.
This is how I removed O2 active:
1) Use file explorer to navigate to: my device>windows>startup.
2) Move the file called connections to another folder.
3) Navigate to: my device>windows>fonts.
4) Rename the "xpdr_02" file to "xpdr_021".
5) Soft reset your phone.
6) Go to: Settings>system>remove programs.
7) Uninstall O2 active. You may get a message saying that certain dll files are in use in windows directory- simply use file explorer to rename these files and try again. Rename them back afterwards.
8) Use file explorer to navigate to: my device>windows>fonts.
9) Rename the "xpdr_021" file back to "xpdr_02".
10) Navigate to: my device>windows>mobile solutions.
11) Cut and paste this folder to your built in storage
12) Soft reset the phone.
Thanks Hedley!
Hedley,
:?:
I just thought of a question re your unistall procedure.
After unistall, can you change 'profile' in order not to cause problems on aircraft?
In Active, I quite liked the simplicity of the email setup. I suppose once it's installed it is not neccessary, but did you find / is there anything else likely to be needed after removing?
Thanks
It is definately Faster!!
I am impressed with this one, my XDAIIi is definately a lot faster!
Cheers for that! :lol:
Airplane trips?

Hi Hedley,
:?:
I'm thinking about what you describe, maybe migfht trial it over Christmas... but once Active is uninstalled can you tell me how I might cope with Airplane travel?
i.e. can you turn off the 'airplane' parts? because obviously just shutting down the XDA leves it actively listening.#
Thanks
"Flight" mode
You can enable flight mode (turn off mobile receiver) by tapping the reception icon on the top bar. In the bubble that appears, there is a link to "Turn on flight mode" / "Turn off flight mode"
The piece of software I really miss in the O2 active is the "profile" stuff, which unless I'm blind isn't in the 2003 OS. For example: normal, work, silent, noisy etc
I wouldn't manually uninstall the Active rubbish - do a corporate install instead. If you have to manually delete locked files etc etc you're asking for trouble later.
Thanks MMM
Thanks for the information and tips.
What is a corporate install - I am not familar with the term.

Goto Start->Settings->Today->Items and uncheck the ones O2 puts on there (can't think off hand which ones they are!) this stops the dll in use messages.

The only problem with the corporate install I found, was it didn't setup the O2 GPRS and MMS settings before finishing device setup, I had a pain setting them up manually, and when I finally managed it, they didn't work 100% (or maybe it was i didn't trust my work 100%!)
You can invoke a corporate install by selecting it when it asks if you are a personal or corporate user. it'll ask you for a password, which is 0506 if memory serves me correct.
I am having a problem with logmein from my phone.
a bit of a background.
I'm loggin into a Windows XP machine.
I have the logmein free account.
I can use a PC and it logs me in just fine.
It works on my account from my friends Sprint Mogul PPC just fine with WM6 and ractre cab
No matter what ROM on my Kaiser, it gets the same error
No matter what browser I use on my Kaiser, it gets the same error.
The problem. I have the cab installed already that I DLd from logmein.com. I go to logmein.com and type in my login info/pass. I click "logmein".
about 1 in (5-50) times it will then take me to the screen where I can select my computer. The other 4-49 times, it takes me back to the login screen where you enter your login info. There arent any error messages or anything. I then click "back" in PIE and hit the submit button again. repeat this a ton of times until it logs me in.
The next screen is where you select your computer. The same thing happens here, and it will bring me to the login screen. Click back and submit again and million times and eventually it will work.
Once I get to the screen where you can click "Remote control" this works fine.
I've asked on logmeins forums and no responses. I emailed their tech support and no responses.
I dont know what to do at this point except move to different software.
any ideas?
I assumed you did a serach for Logmein?

Yes. and I assume you read the part where i've already installed that?
it works for me after....
running the disable cingular proxy cab.
I used to get the exact issue you have on my Tilt. Here's what I've found to work.
Run the disable Cingular Proxy cab (search around, its everywhere in these forums) PRIOR to entering your username/pass.
If i have done this, it will go the 1st and every time to the my computers list and then i can RC from there.
If i forget to run it and i hit "the loop", you can leave IE running and run the cab from a file explorer, then switch back to IE and try again.
Annoying, i know...this coupled with the need to use IE rather than Opera Mini are definite cons to using Logmein on WinMo, but I still need to almost everyday.
Let me know if you can't get this solution to work for you.
I tried that and it didnt work.
Downloaded disable cingular proxy cab.
rebooted.
ran disable cing proxy cab
ran PIE
went to logmein.com
logged in (that part went fine)
clicked on computer.
it took me to login page.
rebooted
ran pie
ran disable cing proxy cab
went to logmein
tried loggin in.
looped =/
Nobody has a good answer for this that I have been able to find. You can try loggin in on LogMeIn's PDA site, https://secure.logmein.com/pda That stopped the endless log in loop problem for me, and I can get to my computer groups. However, I can't remotely control anything. I click the computer I want, enter the password, and it brings up a screen with whatever options that computer has (just Remote Control for LogMeIn Free, Remote Control and File Manager for LogMeIn Pro.) You click Remote Control, and it doesn't do anything, just brings you right back to the same screen. File Manger DOES work on the computer I have LogMeIn Pro on, but I really need the Remote Control. It is maddening, nobody at LogMeIn or any other phone forums seems to know why this is happening. I never had the proxy setup to begin with, everybody keeps talking about proxies like that's the problem, but disabling the proxies doesn't solve the problem for a huge number of folks. I've been able to find solutions to all my other Tilt problems with a little diligent googling, but not this one. I'd love an answer myself!
sorry...
sorry guys..
I have tried almost every kaiser rom here, and at least half of the wizard ones when i had that and the logmein has been a thorn in my side as well, except for me the toggle of disable/enable proxies works every time.
I wish you both luck in your searches for a more universal answer to this problem.
the real key is a fully supported solution from logmein...
Are you using PIE Plus or another multi tab browsing utility? The happens to me with PIE Plus, but only if I select Pocket View in the view settings.
i gots it 2 work!
i am using
Kaiser/TILT
w/ Duttys DualTouch V3 Final(WM6)
AT&T Service
@ 1st logmein wouldnt work
but i was trying to use it w/ Opera
it only works w/ internet explorer.
people said it does not work w/ WM6
that is false.
it looped continuously w/ that loggin crap until
i did the following.
TO GET IT TO WORK:
uninstall RACtrlCE.cab if already installed.
clear IE cookies.
soft reset
download the RACtrlCE
on your PC via
this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1828858#post1828858
the cab is in the above post link scroll to find it.
transfer the cab via
exchange connection.
install cab on your phone.
then soft reset.
go to www.logmein.com
which should automatically redirect
you to https://secure.logmein.com/pda.
log in and u should b in business!
Okay, I post a question in this thread & what happens????
Now everytime I log into Logmein.com I connect fine but about every five minutes I lose the connection & get an "Invalid IP Address" error. Anyone have this problem? I tried adding my own IP but then I can't connect period. Anyone know a fix?

Followed these exact steps. still loops for me X 1000
I tried installing to device, then my storage card, repeating all steps.
The odd thing is that I downloaded minimozilla (mobile firefox) and it logs in JUST FINE) but of course stops at the point where it would show you the desktop. but has ZERO issues loggin in.
*SIGH*
Anyword on a fix for Mismatched IP Address error?
i dont have anything on the mismatched ip thing.
I did manage to solve my problem on my own.
So anyone else still having this problem:
start|settings|connections|connections|Advanced Tab|Select Networks
In the top drop down, select the tab for the internet that you use (Medianet, etc)
Click edit.
Bottom tab click proxy settings.
Uncheck "this network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet"
Click ok.
The cab that is supposed to do this didnt work for me. but doing this manually works for me.
Working perfect on Blackstone with the cab downloaded from logmein.com with Internet explorer.Not working in Opera.
My steps:Opened https://secure.logmein.com/pda from IE, logged in to my account,then when i pressed connect logmein forced me download THEIR RACtrice .cab ,installed,restarted IE,and i'm in bussiness.
I just upgraded the ROM and after upgrade, I notice that the few websites (www.wf.com and beta.m.yahoo.com ) which previously used to work with 1.57.502.2 ROM, does not work anymore. When I try the first one, I get "Browser not Supported" and when I try the website I get "HTC Pilgrim not supported". Anybody else has this problem? Any clues? This problem I reported with these 2 websites occurs with both IE and Opera Mobile browsers. First I thought it was limited to IE, but verified Opera as well which has same problem. So, I am sure it has to do with this new ROM upgrade which changed some of the registry settings or device identifier. Anybody any clues ?
There are several ways to fix this problem, the easiest being,
use KaiserTweak that is stickied at the top of this forum, and change PIE User Agent CustomBase to HTC-8900(AT&T Tilt).
Or you can use a registry editor to do the same thing.
I prefer KaiserTweak, it's easier and lots of stuff you can tweak.
Alemaker
KaiserTweak worked for me. For some reason the 1.62 ROM I downloaded had defaulted to the stock TyTn II PIE Agent. I switched it to HTC-8900, soft reset, and bammo, back in business. From what i remember, the old rom was defaulted to HTC-8900 when i opened KaiserTweak the first time.
This problem still continues with Opera Mobile
Great, Thanks!! KaiserTweak help me fix the problem with IE.
But it still same issues visiting these websites from Opera Mobile, any other magic here?
try un-installing and re-installing Opera, and make sure to get rid of all it's folders on your phone before re-installing.
Still not working
I uninstalled Opera, then made sure that I removed all the folders/files it had created, then did a soft reset and then re-installed opera, still no luck. Continue to have issues with these 2 websites. Any other ideas ?
i just recently updated to the 1.62.xxxx rom... i dont have problems with opera though but i got these issues on my fone.. 1st off, when i take a picture, i cannot load the file.. i cant see what i took. it gives me an error saying that the file cannot be opened(this happens when the default storage is the storage card.) also, when i save something to the storage card, i get another error that says, a device attached to the system is not functioning. i already tried doing a hard reset and i still get errors... any clues??? thanks! im thnking of going bck to the old ATT rom... (sorry for any typos.. im using my phone to write this reply... )
i know this might be a stupid question for everyone that knows what their doing but i do have a registry editor but i cant find the place to change the pie agent.....where can i go to change that?
thanks in advance for your help
why not just use kaisertweak or search for the reg key, although i bet its easier to use kaisertweak
im really a noob so i dont know anything about kaiser tweaks but i have task manager that has reg edit on it...so id rather use that then just getting a new program. i hope someone can help me find that location to switch the user agent. but just wondering does changing it really make a major difference???
No HSDPA
With the previous ROM I was able to take advantage of the increased speed of "H" while on the internet after using the Kaiser Tweak. With the new 1.62 ROM my "H" seems to have dissapeared and I only see the 3G even after running the Kaiser Tweak again. Anyone else having this issue? Did our friends AT&T get greedy and lock us out of the high speed?

I do not believe it will work with Opera. Opera routes you through a proxy which reformats content for your device. The websites my not recognize this or the device ID may get screwed up. I was trying to visit some music website that only allows visitors from the US, but was told I could not access bc I was browsing from outside the US - bc the Opera server is not located in the US.
I'm sorry if this question has been asked before, but I couldn't find it on the search.
I save HTML files on my PC and bluetooth send them to my tilt, but my problem is the tilt loads 80% of the file on internet explorer and then decides to turn on the internet connection to download the leftover 20%. I don't understand why it needs to use the internet if I already downloaded the whole html file. Is there any work around this without disabling the internet? I mean it kind of defeats the purpose of saving an html file if it is just going to connect me to the internet to view a file.
Also the .MHT file is too large and doesn't always work so I don't really find it a great alternative.
Save them as HTM with the accompanying folder instead of MHT?
There will often be a few links staying "online" like ads and such other things that change at every page load, so it tries to connect to get those.
yeah, the only real way to strip it of any 'online' links is to open them in an editor and do it manually. Things like ads will be coming from a sepearte http:// than the original site - removing any links should do the trick.
Another option is to use opera, and from inside that you can save the page to the device locally for later viewing (needs to use data on your phone though... are you trying to avoid this ?)
This post contains a few questions I have after a week or so using my Touch Diamond, about issues I've not seen mentioned on this or other boards.
1) When I hold phone then speak to phone a contact, it repeats the contacts name (ie plays the sample of my voice it used to identify the contact). Can I turn that playback off?
2) Sometimes holding the bottom right key (end call) does nothing, or just moves the touchflo 3d selection to the right, instead of locking the phone. It seems to do this more often if I've been using the phone to surf etc, and less if I've just used it for a few seconds, as if it's busy (although it's responsive in every other respect)
3) In the messaging app, under the top line of text, I can choose between:
Gmail
Outlook E-mail
SMS \ MMS
I'd like to remove the Outlook line - I never use it - it's just Gmail or text messages for me. Can I do this?
4) When I use Fring to do Instant Messaging (which doesn't seem to pick up on all my contacts for some reason - any idea why?) it will enable and use Wifi, even if it was turned off. But if I load Opera it'll not re-enable Wifi but will simply use my phone provider (ie 3G, GPRS etc). Is there any way of getting Opera (or any app, if that's easier) to enable Wifi when loaded. I want to use it for speed, and to reduce my data usage via my phone provider, but I don't want to pay the price in battery life.
5) Has anyone had any success in using their Touch Diamond to connect to a network (Ubuntu, using Samba, or Windows - I'm not bothered which)? Surely it should be possible?
6) Can I make Opera and not Internet Explorer the default app for .html files and links in emails/text messages?
7) Has anyone had any luck getting java applets working from web pages in Opera (or Internet Explorer, as a last resort)? I can get regular midlets working in the stand alone Java client thing, but I need to be able to log into secure sites using my phone and the sites use little Java apps.
I'm sure I had another question or two but it's late and I can't remember, so this should keep you going for now!
Thanks in advance.
Too many questions!
I'll answer number 5: Yes you can connect to a network share using a program called Network Plugin or, even better, Resco Explorer, although that one isn't free. I've only used it for Windows XP shares so far.
I'll answer number 2!
Do you use a rubberized case similar to the one in my avatar? I've come to realize that it somehow prevents the talk/end keys from functioning properly (same behavior - itll think im either trying to go left or right in tf3d). Removing the case fixes the problem for me. Sounds silly I know, but when I realized that it was the rubber case, I couldn't stop banging my head.
If you're not using a case of some sort, then I have no clue
I'll asnwer number 2 as well.
Had the same problem. I think it's a kinda bug.
Solved it with the new Rom 2.30.
