I've stuggled on with the unreliable ROM that my PDA2K came with because I have been unsuccessful at upgrading using my Mac and Virtual PC 7 (Windows XP).
I don't have access to a PC, and wondered whether anyone could give me any guidance.
Is it possible to upgrade the rom directly from the device itself, or are there ROM installers for other Blue Angel phones that would work via Virtual PC?
Any help very welcome - but please give as much detail as possible if telling me to install or change things manually. I've read posts about 'extended roms' and taking bits from here and there and I've no idea what this is about.
hello fellow mac user
What exactly is the problem?
ANy error messages? are you trying via BT or USB ?
HI,
When I tried to upgrade previously the PDA2K's screen showed USB but I got an error (sorry I cant remember the number code; radio upgrade error or something).
Recently, and I don't know what's changed, I just get Error 101: Connection Failure. When I try to run the upgrade the device does a soft reset at the beginning, then there is a long pause then I get the error. It seemed to manage more previously (may be that was an earlier from upgrade, but it never worked anyway!).
Have you been successful from your Mac?
Just looked back at my old posts on the howard forums, and discovered it was Error 114 I was getting previously (with the first ROM upgrade). I presume I'm getting the 101 connection error now that I'm trying to use the latest ROM upgrade.
One thing I'm about to try myself is to switch off both the windows and Mac OS X firewalls just in case they are interfering with the process.
Just to be more specific:
It comes up with the info from the phone and the upgrade, then I click next to start the upgrade; the device does a soft reset then repeatedly the device says it's connecting to host, the PC says reading info from device; then after a while I get error 101. As soon as the ROM upgrade installer quits, then Activesync reconnects the device (as guest).
Are the ERK files supposed to be run from the device? Will this help me? I've just downloaded one, and downloaded a thing called WinRAR but the resulting files say they aren't Win32 applications; and most of the contents of the folder are .rar files even after I extracted it. Wierd. Please can someone help!
Oh well, it's getting late here in the UK, I will just have to try again another time. Going to have to reinstall everything again now (as I have after every failed attempted at a ROM upgrade over the past few months). This is the last time I buy anything with a Microsoft operating system!!!!
Can anyone help?
Anyone?
Hi
Sorry but I don't think I am going to be much help.
I too am a Mac user with VPC and happily ActiveSync every day using VPC 7.01.
HOWEVER I would never try and use VPC to do something as basic as a ROM upgrade.
I managed to borrow a PC from someone at work and used that for the upgrade. I went on the basis that a ROM upgrade is so basic to the device and would likely need real PC hardware that I would not risk it.
Is there no colleagure, friend or workmate that can help you out?
Regards.

Hi,
Thanks for replying. I had bought Virtual PC because I just couldn't find any other way of getting a lot of the software onto the iMate. Having made this investment I hoped it would work with the ROM upgrade too.
I did manage to get use of a PC yesterday, but unfortunately it didn't work either. The PDA2K reset itself at the start, then after a delay the updater gave error 101 connection error, exactly the same as with Virtual PC.
Later, I managed to get someone really helpful at i-mate on the live support (and for once it didn't time out) and I went through a few things, including pressing power-reset-record (so that USB is displpayed) and trying from there. It still didn't work, I got Error 114 after the updater sat at 0% for several minutes.
This leads me to the exact reason I didn't want to have to rely on someone elses PC: having access to it for a limited time I tried repeatedly the ROM upgrade yesterday with no success. Later, at home, I got help from iMate and some ideas that will be trying again with a PC, but now I've got to wait for another opportunity to use a PC. What concerns me, is if I ever get a major problem the phone may be unusable until I next get access to a PC. Worse still - if the phone locks up when I'm using the PC and I don't have the time/knowledge to resolve it, I could end up with a non-functioning phone. It's much easier to tinker with these things in the comfort of my own home when time is less of an issue.
I just received my K700i yesterday. I decided enough was enough. I'm going to sell the PDA2K as soon as I've got the ROM sorted out. I really did try to get on with this device but it's caused me more grief than I have ever had with an electronic device before. I learned a lot, setting up GPRS, wifi, bluetooth, found all sorts of useful software, used VNC to control my Mac remotely etc etc, but at the end of the day I just couldn't rely on it. Some days I could get email, some days I couldn't. Some days people would receive the SMS I sent, some days they didn't. Sometimes the people I was calling could hear me, sometimes they couldn't. Sometimes the phone would stay switched off, sometimes it turned itself on and drained the battery. The list of problems I had with this phone were endless. Hence why I was trying to get the ROM upgraded.
I understand your concenr and problem.
I actually have the latest ROM installed on mine and I STILL get someof the problems you describe.
Only Microsoft could get away with writing such a crap operating system to run a phone.
And i-mates issues just compund the Windows issues.
Good luck.
Robin
ive never bothered even trying to run activesync thru vpc. It was a bit hit and miss on my XDA1 so as soon as my xda2i arrived i just bought missing sync from mark space. Hassle free syncing and installing, plus the ppc gets mounted like a mass storage device too.
Trouble is I use Outlook at work and need to sync it to my PDA.
I cannot even use Entourage as we are a) running to old a version of Outlook server and b) Missing Sync will not sync with Entourage.
I am stuffed both ways.
Robin
Me again!
Just thought I'd let everyone know that I did indeed succeed first time on a PC today (having pressed power-reset-record to go into bootloader mode first).
So, as everyone told me, it was necessary to use a PC, and Virtual PC on a Mac just wont work.
I'm getting on ok with my K700i, although the email seems a bit limiting (doesn't seem to have message titles displayed, and a short limit to the length of the email).
My plan: use the K700i for a few weeks and see how I get on, then perhaps I might try the newly upgraded PDA2K for a few weeks, and see which I prefer.
The other complicating factor is that the SIM free Treo 650 has just become available, but I'm going to hold fire on that for now. Perhaps if I'm not happy with either the K700i or the upgraded PDA2K then I might consider it...
I'm getting to the connection page but then it goes back to the sign in.
Working great on my phone.
can you attach the ractrl.cab you used?
Never used one, basicaly i went to the website on my phone and logged on and it asked me to register my phone. ( am an existing user btw on Imate K-jam). Software downloaded automaticaly if I remember rightly.

Just tested it and works nice.
Downloaded the RACtrlCE.cab more or less automatically. And then continue...
The only thing that makes me doubting is, that I remember I tested it before on this device. I threw away the RACtrlCE.cab from my documents folder.
Maybe not allowed to throw it away? I will test in the future.
But: Works perfect and the scrolling, by pointing in the corners, goes faster than on my Qtek 9100.
I miss the larger real estate of course.
Huib
I must have used the old RACtrlCE.cab because when I uninstalled it and tried again it worked.
Your in luck mate, I found the file. But I cant find away to upload it here.
yeah, connecting to logmein and installing the cab directly from website works great!
Sorry to revive this old thread but I found it to be inconclusive.
I have the same problem as the OP: I login to their website and see my list of computers...from that point on anything I click, be it a computer or the "my accounts" section, it brings me back to the login screen. It's a complete loop.
I've been using logmein a long time and I know that the .cab file is downloaded right after you choose which computer to connect to...but I can't make it that far on my AT&T Tilt. It's just a loop.
I went back to my PPC-6700 (HTC Apache) and used my WiFi to connect to logmein and had no problems whatsoever.
Any suggestions? Should I find the .cab on my 6700 and send it to my Tilt?
Thanks in advance.
I'm impatient so I went ahead and copied the .cab file from my 6700 to my Tilt...the result is the same.
It installed fine: no errors, no message that it was made for a previous version of windows etc.
However when I go to logmein.com and try to login, I am confronted with the same loop as described above.
When you log into LOGEMEIN it will prompt you to d/l the .cab file if you dont have it installed. I had no problems in logging in from my 8525 or TILT.

Like I said, I can log in fine. Upon choosing which computer to connect to, it brings me back to the login screen. Typically, you would choose the computer you want to connect to and then it would realize you don't have the program installed and prompt you to do so. However, whether I have installed the .cab manually or before doing so, I cannot get this far.
I got my Tilt yesterday and the only tweaking I've done is with the KaiserTweak program from these forums. If anyone can point to a specific tweak that might effect this, I'll revert it...
After more testing I found a way to get access to my computer. Instead of clicking on the computer name, click on Edit. Then scroll down to where it says "Status: Online, Connect to this computer" - You can click on "Connect to this computer" and it will work.
After making it work I went back to my computer listing screen and tried to click on the name, as usual, and it went right back to the login screen. At least this workaround seems to work fine. I'll try uninstalling the software now and letting it install on its own and see how it works from there...
After uninstalling, rebooting, testing, reinstalling, rebooting and testing some more...I have been unable to replicate my "workaround" from above. I'm left clueless as to what the problem is here and whether this is just some dumb server problem on logmein's side. If anyone can help please chime in. tyvm
On a Tilt try
Start>Programs>Tools>Proxy manager>disable proxy
Worked like a champ for me
Those having problems; are you trying to access logmein using the full web site - https://www.logmein.com or logmein for PDA's https://secure.logmein.com/pda/ ? The full web site gets me in a loop, but using the site for PDA's works perfectly.

Yeup forgot to mention that. When I log in I disable the proxy.
If i remember correcly, i had this loop problem when using opera on the kaiser to surf on logmein.com .
Used PIE instead and no more loop problem.
Thank you for the proxy fix - it worked for me.
Can someone tell me what the proxy is for and if there is any reason I would need to enable it again? I'd like to know if I should bring this to logmein support or not. Thanks.

Happy New year to everybody...
Mine has started off bad, I just returned from my X-mas/New year break and I can no longer sync, install or uninstall programs ?
when I connect my PDA to the PC it sees it, but it can't sync, if I go to remove/add programs it shows empty nothing installed.
I can even brows the PDA but I can't copy files to or from it?
I'm lost, can anyone help me out on this I really don't want to do a hard reset.
Thanks.
Anyone.........?
tryed to reinstall active-sync?
did you installed some program has to do with network (kind of ftp-server or something else that uses some ports in you network-config)
i had the problem with filezilla ftp-server, using port 990 for ssl-authentification.
the problem was, active-sync also uses this port, but filezilla starting as service was bound to this, so AS could not work.

Hi Edi, No I haven't installed anything, but I think my problem might be something else (worse), I just realised that I can no longer copy move or delete files from either the PDA or the MC, I get an "access is denied" error.
Anyone have any idea what might have caused this? and better still, is there a fix.
I seem to be repeating myself lately with this answer, so I apologise if it seems down-right obvious, but have you ensured you have the latest version of ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Centre?
The reason I ask this is because I too was experiencing Sync problems using WMDV, but realised I didn't have the latest version (it doesn't automatically update with Windows Update, WTF?). Windows Mobile 6 is obviously programmed slightly different from revious versions, so updating Sync software is a simple step that's often missed...

Hi Audio,
Thanks for the reply, but I do have the latest version and I never had a problem with it until this week.
Just so i can try and help, what is it you are using Dave? AS or WMDV?

Hi Audio, I use both, AS at work and WMDV at home, both used to work fine.
And do you experience the issue on both?
EDIT: Apparently, there may be a problem with ActiveSync 4.5. Just take a look at this list of complaints about it lol.
One user stated:
"I was using AS4.2 with my ETen M700, everything was fine. I wanted to upgrade to WM6 and teh instructions said I needed to use AS4.5 I installed it and tried to connect my device - disaster! The rapimgr.exe process runs at 99% and slows the computer to a crawl.
After 3 attempts, I uninstalled it, and re-installed AS4.2 (available from www.microsoft.com) and now things are working again. "
This may be worth doing to see if this soilves your problem...

Yes I have tried it on three different machines, I can see the PDA but it won't sync or let me move or copy files.
It look like I might have to do a hard reset, but I'm hoping not
Also, a chap on a premium (you have to pay for support!) site said the following, which seems slightly similar:
"I've been using ActiveSync for a while now to sync outlook up to my motorola q. For some strange reason it's stopped working. The connection takes place, you get the little signal saying that ActiveSync picks up on it, the "Connecting" message, followed by the "Synchronizing" message... and nothing. It just hangs there. I've reinstalled ActiveSync and Outlook and did a hard reset on the phone. I'm convinced the issue is with the desktop, if I take the same PDA home, I'm able to sync up with my PC there. Does anyone know what happens during the Synchronizing phase and what could be possibly causing it to hang? ActiveSync 4.5 is a new beast, solutions to the older versions don't seem to apply.
If I hit the Stop button, ActiveSync hangs on the "Stopping" message and ActiveSync on the phone becomes unresponsive until I unplug the cable."
So even a Hard reset didn't solve this guys problems...
I would recommend uninstalling AS 4.5 from your machine, and installing 4.2. Reason being, i believe you need your phone connected to the computer when you install syncing software, so it more than likely "fiddles" with some very well hidden settings on the device. If this is the case, 4.5 may have [email protected] it up, but 4.2 may be your savior.
If you decide to give it a go, let us know how it goes...

Hi Audio, I don't know what to do, I started another thread about no longer being able to either copy, move, delete, install or uninstall anything, I really don't think it's a sync problem anymore. I will wait another day or so and then I'm going clear storage and start again.
what really pisses me off is my wife has no problems at all? perhaps my PDA is ******.
Exactly the same has just happened to me - I tried to connect to ActiveSync this morning to copy a file across via bluetooth, but it refused to connect. I plugged in the USB cable, nothing - the phone charges but ActiveSync does not want to know.
I deleted the device in AS, tried to add a new one - nothing found.
I last sync'd up fine 4 days ago.
I am using Dutty's DualTouch v1.1 release.
I am using AS 4.5.0 build 5096
If I discover services via BT from the kaiser to the computer it finds the ActiveSync service.
I have done a soft reset, no difference, restarted the PC, same. I haven't applied any Windows Updates or made any changes since it stopped working.
I might try rolling back to AS 4.2
Edit: Same with AS4.2
Think it might be clear storage time
Cleared storage and then it worked fine...will take the opportunity to upgrade to dualtouch v2
Hi Blaze, damn it's annoying isn't it, my next move is clear storage as well.
Hope mine works again.
It's bloody happened again I reflashed the rom with Duty's Dual Touch V2. Much better rom, but activesync has just given up again via BT and usb. Maybe it's some inherent problem with WM, or with Duty's roms - which are you using Dave?
I've tried it on a fresh build of XP Pro on an old machine with nothing than AS & Outlook 2k3 on - same, AS sees the device, but wont sink. Problem seems with the device...

Good Point I didn't even notice, put it down to stress...
PS: For anyone who's interested, I ended up doing a hard reset, reinstalled my apps, restored my backups and it's working fine now.
Did you have F-secure Mobile installed? If not, I could take that away from possibilities that's causing this problem
Hello,
I downloaded Fring off of their site, installed the file. Its on my 'desktop' now with an icon and says 'fring is currently offline'...
When I click it, i get a progress icon and then nothing. When I find it in Programs and open it, i get the same thing. I never get any login windows or anything. I am always successfully connected to wifi when I do this.
Is there something I am missing? Do I need to change any memory settings or anything? I am pretty much running my Wing with 'out of the box' settings.
Any thoughts or suggestions greatly appreciated.
chris
I just installed it and ran it with no proble ............. try going to fring.com on your device and download the .cab file from there and re-install it
tried that twice now... seems after the install, it starts up fring and i get the FRING IS LOADING screen but it goes no further. Is this app a memory hog or something? Or is it just buggy?
Similar complaints on the Fring forums
http://www.fring.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3145
Last post is from someone who has your same issue on the Wing. I've got a Hermes (TyTN) and it doesn't start on that device either (splash screen pops, then program dies with no error messages, etc.)
Sounds like fring has known about this for awhile but no progress so far Fring support referred me to their blog, but nothing of use their, nor in the forums from what I've found so far:
Thank you for contacting our support team.
We are aware of the issue and working to solve it in the near future.

Not that this helps you much, but Fring worked great first time on my Wing. But then it stopped connecting shortly thereafter, just like you described. But then I uninstalled/reinstalled Fring and it has been working since.
SOLVED
I just solved that problem.
The problem was the program VoipAudiosrv, an error with that program. Just uninstall fring AND voipaudiosrv, restart your phone, and reinstall fring. You will be asked to re install voip audio srv: do it. Now it should work.
So I always try to download large emails or file from PIE/Poutlook and the file starts downloading very fast, then nothing. It just stops downloading. Any ideas why ?
I have a fairly new duttys 6.1/ not the new one but the one before.
I've noticed this as well but have not found a fix for it. Whenever i try to download a ROM or Radio from here it stops downloading part way through.
I'd love to see if anybody has any experience with this problem.
I'm not saying that it happens from this site. For instance. I use my tilt to download that warcraft port, it stops at about 1/4 way in. The first 1/4 goes fast though, after that it can sit for a day and go nowhere. This of course happens on all larger files, not just this particular one.
Yeah, thats the same. I mean when i click a link to go outside of XDA (i.e. roms etc) that it quits shortly into the download. It seems to have happened with dutty's newer ROMS b/c i used to be able to.
i have occasionally downloaded a rom or two using pie and i noticed this.........the download progress bar stops moving, but i think the download is still continuing, cause eventually it finished, and file extracted fine, with no problems
Well I've let some 900k files transfer for hours, how long did you have to wait?
It happens to me to with the first download PIE has to do. I stop the download and try it again. The second time it works without problems.
I've been having download issues using Newsbreak an RSS reader. I have a dozen or so podcasts I normally download and lately they get stuck, consistently stuck

are you on ATT? I have an old cingular branded simcard.. what about you? I am lucky i have a friend with a Tilt.. i have taken his att branded simcard and inserted it into my phone, tested some downloads they appears to be working fine and sure enough my card in his phone is producing the same results I had.. INCOMPLETE DOWNLOADS..
now either its my sim card, or something is screwy with my account. I am trying to scam ATT, i have a unlimited smartphone data plan from an old phone that I quietly moved to my pocketpc. I'm hoping it's the OLDER sim card that is affecting me.
post any info if you can.
say it aint so, say it aint so. Man I guess I need to get my new sim activated, but I'm a little worried they will try to change my plan if I call in.
Any Update?
Checking to see if there was any update on this topic? I'm having the same trouble and wondering if I should replace my old cingular SIM card with a newer ATT one?
Mike
I am having the same problem since upgraded to Dutty's jun 7th rom. I know it is different from yours. I thought I was just special in having this problem. I don't see how it is the sim card that is the problem. I have the newest at&t sim card and have the problem.
Only since installing this rom have I had any problems. But I am signed up for the 15.00 dollar media net though.
I never use PIE, but it happens all the time in Opera 9.5 built 1184(I think). I just assumed it was an Opera 9.5 issue as I upgraded to Dutty's rom and Opera 9.5 on the same day. Before that I was using Mobile Vista with Opera 8.65.
I have the same symptoms as you, I start a download and the first 1/4th is fast, then it just stops. I close Opera and start the transfer again and it works.
jeff
bumb, would like an answer
Well that was ages ago I did swap my SIM card and since then have switched roms 10 or more times.. and still the same problem
It's very strange tho, I can get email attachments just fine. But if I try to do a download of an .mp3 or .cab or pretty much anything, I get the same results as you posted below. It' gets a certain portion of the download then stops never to restart.
REALLY SUCKS!

Would like to get this resolved..
Same problem, but it also happens when I'm tethering to a PC (Vista). It's really apparent in youtube - it downloads 5-10 seconds ahead really fast, then just stops and as soon as player reaches that point, it just keeps trying to load movie further, and can't. If I manually move the slider forward, it will download 5-10 seconds, then stop again. It's 100% consistent.
Not sure if I should try switching back to Dutty's April rom (6.0) from my current 6.1
I to am having the same problem with my tilt. I cannot seem to D/L files. Any help with this would be great.
I've noticed recently the same thing, and I suspect it's Cingular. Anyone not using Cingular in this thread seeing it?
I also noticed that EDGE was really slow last week but that seems to have gone away.
If I switch to WiFi, no problems. And given the number of people mentioning this, I seriously doubt it's hardware/rom/etc.. I'm using the AT&T stock rom and radio.
my experience
well this is my experience, mind you I have att with the cheap medianet settings too. When my file downloading would stop id X(close) the pie window and you restart it it asks if you want to resume downloading. though this works, as time went on it seemed that the problem got worse. (id be resetting sometimes 10 times on a 4mb file) And then I wanted to download some larger files 300mb+ and didnt want to deal with this problem i noticed settings or different roms didnt help. So I moved my storage card to the computer and formatted my card 32k clusters with memmaid. now it seemed that i did have a corrupt file because this one music track would not erase easily i needed some program to get rid of it. after the card was formatted I put all my files back on it and I have not had a problem since. hope this helps some of you. also whenever you download something go to start\system\memory\storage card and you can easily see how much has transferred and how fast its transferring.
