Ultimate Theft Alert v3

Hi guys,
I would like you all to take a look at the program Ultimate Theft Alert v3 (http://www.pocketpc-live.com/ultimate-theft-alert-v3-for-pocket-pcs-2.html).
This program is an anti-theft program for your WM5 Device.
I was one of the 1st users of it and since then it made much improvement and has some real cool feautures (the developer is someone that actually listens to his customers!).
When a new (unregistred in the program) SIM Card is entered in your device the program sends 2 Text Messages to a predifined number (you can add more numbers). One text message has a predifined message (that you can adjust in the program) and the 2nd text message sends the IMSI number of the SIM Card to your device.
The program has 2 extra plug-ins for now:
1) Doing a hard-reset after inserting a non-registred SIM Card
2) Copy all the SIM Cards contacts to the predifined number(s)
This program is in my opinion the most perfect anti theft alert for your device!!
Just check it out....
Regards,
Molski
p.s. UTA v3 only costs $12,99 ....in my opinion very cheap for a $400 device

Damm - Wish I'd seen this a week or two ago!
This sucks.
My phone was stolen 2 days ago by some loser, and all my data, hacks, tweaks, and software on it has to be reinstalled (of course) . What really P's me off though, is that I have no clue who took it, and I'd really like to be able to get back at the jerk for stealing it. Sigh. Well, I have my new replacement (Cingular shipped it FedEx yesterday and it arrived today), so I have to get busy w/ it and getting it set up. Thankfully, it is a G3, like my old phone.

Then you sure can imagine how important software like this can be!
I'm glad you got a replacement Wizard (and also am glad because it's a G3 ).
I like UTA a lot and build my own cab for it and included it in my ExtRom, so after a hard-reset it's installed automatically

How did it get stolen? If you don't mind me asking?

Im curious... What would you be able to do with the information from the program in the event that your PDA is stolen??? What are the chances of getting it back???

Revenge?
If the program uses the new SIM to send SMS to a number you specified, and passes any phone numbers held in that SIM as part of the mesage content, then you have the phone number of the thief and all his contacts!
You could call him up and ask for your phone back.
You could call all his contacts and ask them to persuade him to give your phone back.
You also get the IMSI number of the SIM card. This is what network operators use to block stolen phones. You may be able to persuade the operator to block the thief's SIM.

Few problems I noticed
1) I can't delete a SIM card Number from the list.
2) Except for the Hard Reset Option under EXTRAS, everything else is greyed out including "Send SIM Contacts and CALL LOG Details"
3) I know how to add this to the Ext. ROM but do I add the UTA.exe file under Windows to it or the Installation CAB. Also where is the DATA file located, the one that holds the SIM card entries and the Alert SMS Numbers?

this program has an option for you to install into ext rom?
cuz it states it can survive a hard reset.
thanks!

Guys, how do you add it to the EXT rom? please assist.

on WM6 (schaps 3.30c german) UTA 3 pops up an error when inserting an unregistered simcard. "systemeigene ausnahme...." somekind of exception error. The sms is beeing sent - but the thief would see the errormessage.
Any suggestions?

Uninstalling
To all the techies,
Could anyone please let me know how to uninstall the ultimate theft alert as i want to format my storage card. If I format it will there be any stray files left on my device memory and if yes then could it confict with the phone.
Thanks
TK

that is an amazing idea i will be checking it out that seems very smart and im willing to bet with my silly brain i will misplace my wizard for sure haha

Good morning, I've found this tutorial on their forum:
> http://pocketpc-live.com/help-and-support/1461-extended-rom-installation-v35.html
"Extended ROM Installation [v35!]
If you would like to know what's Extended ROM, read my article here.
Please note that Extended ROM installation is not possible on all devices. Different devices use a different Autorun Method. Autorun is sometimes a small application that tells the device what softwares need to be installed in what order automatically after a hard-reset. Some have a feature of copying files whereas the others stimulate cab files to be installed.
Before you proceed, its advised to know what are the files and in what locations should they be for the software to work.
In Windows folder:
UTAv35.exe - Core Module
Tapilib.dll - Resource Library File
Uta_confige.dll - Configurations File
Rdui.dat - Registration File
VbLocation.dll - Resource Library File
Uta_adn2.0.exe - Core Add-on Module
In Windows/StartUp folder:
UTAv35.lnk - Shortcut to core module
The above files when in place, the software will work as registered/activated and with configurations! Depending upon your device, you need to make these files available in place, either via custom cab file created with third-party softwares such as WinCE Cab Manager or via Direct Copy file method from Extended ROM after Unlocking it!
In some devices, the stupid signing security warning appears, preventing to start the application directly. In that case, additionally you need install this file http://www.PocketPC-Live.com/ds.cab Through Extended ROM installation in the first place.
Good news for forum users: If you have your posts count over 50, we shall help you make the custom cab file ourselves Happy participating... Even if your post count is below 50, don't worry, we will always try helping you with your queries here. Just reply to this topic and we shall be glad to assist you further.

Syncing with Mac

Hey guys has anyone found a solution for syncing the Touch Diamond with a Mac??
I am using the latest version of Missing Sync and its not working, it starts to connect, gets to 2 dots then stops and says the connection attempt failed I click Learn More and follow the directions in there, it has instructions on allowing certain programs in the firewall and the missing sync listener is on of them, however I can't find that program either in the firewall or anywhere on my hard drive under a spotlight search, anyone else have this issue?
Anyone else try any other programs??
I have also tried sync mate, it did sync, but there were lots of entries missing and it didn't sync my calender at all.

I have now tried manually instaling the cab file for missing sync to my device but still no luck...

im using missing sync 4.0.3 on 10.5.3.. i dont have any problem syncing with my diamond. however after i sync my contacts on address book, I can't open the "people" tab on the today plug'in anymore so i have to hard reset. but for all other things, missing sync works fine.. when u sync the songs from itunes, u can ever has the album photo.
good luck

sometime buzz the USB cable, please try the one that comes with phone

Im occasionally getting the following error message when instaling, don't suppose anyone has had anything like this before??
I also used appzapper and deleted eveything it found on version 3 I amwondering if I deleted the wrong thing.
"The system extension "System/Library/Extensions/MissinSyncWM.kext" was installed improperlyand cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product's vendor for an update."

I checked the missing sync forums, and officially, they do not yet support windows 6.1. Here's the link. I guess we just have to wait for a few weeks (or months) before it'll be supported.
For uninstalling the missing sync app, I would suggest heading to their forums and posting your specific problem. Good luck.
Anyway, I'm excited with the htc diamond. I just held one yesterday and it really felt good in your hands. Although the interface is still slow (this may be due to wm itself rather than HTC's design team) but I hope that the advance config app can fix this one. I'll try to play some more this weekend.

u can try SyncMate, it can sync Address book and iCal for the unregistered version. http://mac.eltima.com/sync-mac.html

Problem solved, did a permisson repair then reinstalled and it alll worked. Also I wouldn't recommend syncmate, it garbled my contacts on my phone thankfully not on my mac though....

Voice Recorder Problems ...

Forgive me if this question has come up in the past. I have searched the Wiki without success, especially when it comes to my specific problem.
For reasons that are unknown to me, my TyTN II will no longer play voice recordings on Windows Media Player. When I open the Voice Recorder program and make a test recording, it will not play when I hit the play button. If I then find the file in file explorer (My Voices), and then click on it, Windows Media Player opens, but I get the following error message:
"No combination of intermediate filters could be found to make the connection."
Everything was working fine just a week ago, but now I can't play any recorded files.
Does anyone know how I can resolve this issue? Please help.
Thank you,
Peter

"No combination" issue solved ...
Hey, folks. After a lengthy investigation, several hard resets, and re-installing everything quite a few times, I have discovered the reason for the error message, "No combination of intermediate filters could be found to make the connection."
As my original message indicated, for reasons entirely unknown at the time, I was unable to play sound files. Following my investigation; however, I discovered that the problem was not limited to sound files, but also included video files. They would produce the same error message.
The problem? Pocket Mechanic Professional v2.92 and, specifically, the Registry Cleanup feature. If you fill in either one of the two selection boxes, "Empty Open/OpenDoc keys," or "Empty registry keys," and then run the program, you will delete important registry entries that will immediately stop sound and video files from working in at least the following two programs:
Voice Recorder
Windows Media Player
Hopefully this information can help others from experiencing the utter frustration that lead me to this unfortunate conclusion.
Peter

i have the same software too
is there anybody that can give me those? and were do i put them
thanks

That thing also happened to me!
Any way (other than hard reset) to fix it?

Prevent Unauthorized Software Installations

Does anyone know of a software that Prevents unauthorized software installations.
If anyone knows of such a tool or can create one, please let me know. I'm running a BlackBerry OS
Thanks,
Joone

Try this
Been running this for about a month now......best part it's free!
https://www.mylookout.com/

Thanks for the quick reply dwgibson. I installed Lookout and tested it out by installing software and it prevent me from installing software. This really isn't what I'm looking for.
Thanks for you guys help in advance!

If you feel your girlfriend is going to install spyware on your phone then I think you need to get a new girlfriend more then worry about what she might do to your phone. I hear were your coming from but I rarely leave my phone where others can gain access to it. As for the firewall program. I'll have to give it a look and see how much of a hog it is. It would be nice to have a program firewall on the phone.

Thanks for the quick reply Wil.

Two options:
#1) Set the PIN lock on the device with <1 minute as timeout - Settings, Security.
#2) Set the Registry Policy on the device to prevent .CAB installation - Windows Mobile MSDN.
HTH,

Hi hilaireg,
Thanks for your reply. In response:
1) I mentioned in my original post that a device pin lock is not what I want to do as everytime I use my mobile very frequently as most people do and having to unlock my mobile everytime will be a problem
2) Setting the Registry Policy to prevent .CAB installation is not too bad of an idea. It will however prevent me from installing software. If I can't find the solution I'm looking for, passcode to access the software installation process, then I will have to settle for that option.
There's an app for the iphone that might work if their was a similar app for BB. The app is named Lockdown and it password protects apps that you choose to password protect. Password protecting apps may give me the privacy I need if I password protect the correct apps. However, I can't find an app similar to Lockdown available for BB.
If anyone knows of such an app please let me know. I'll continue looking.

Hi ajmusic24,
You're describing functionality similar to Windows restricted accounts. AFAIK, there is no feature to "protect" specific funtionality ... other than via the policies.
If you aren't successful in finding a custom application to meet your needs, you could always create a couple of registry files which enable/disable the installation policy.
Cheers,

hilaireg,
I would prefer an app that can provide the option of password protecting the software installation process. What you bring up about creating a couple of registry files which enable/disable the installation policy might be a temporary fix. How would I go about doing this?
Thanks,
Joone

it might require a new app that would repace the existing cab process, something like "CabInstl". So when a cab file is launched the new app would process it. This new app then would check the registry to verify uid/psw before installing to default location or other location.

How to install Root-Cert on O2 XDA?

Hey Guys,
I'm trying to setup my Exchange Server 2010 for Active Sync with my O2 XDA Diamond 2 (HTC Touch Diamond 2 bought at O2 Germany). Synchronization without SSL works just fine, but since I don't like my Login to be sent in clear text, I'm trying to setup SSL support, and that's where the problems started. Since I'm using my own CA the certificates issued aren't recognized as trustworthy. This applies to the SSL-certificates too.
When I try to install my own root-cert. on the device (by dubble-clicking on the cert) it says "Certificate successfully installed", but when I take a look into the cert.-store it has only been installed as "Zwischenzertifizierungsstelle" not as "Stamm/Root". I've been searching for hours now, but I can't come up with a resolution. Even tried to copy the registry keys under HKCU\Comm\Security\SystemCertificates\ but had no success either.
Hope someone can help me with my problem cause I really don't want to spend money for those expensive certs just for private use.
Cheers and keep up the good work!

Try this cab, should disable certificate warning.

Thanks for the hint, but as far as I know those are only the certificates for unsigned apps. Didn't have any problems with that yet, thank you anyway.
Maybe O2 locked the root certificate store. Anybody knows something about that? Especially how to unlock the store without HardSPL?
