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.

Ok ive got this awesome new phone, just love it!
Ive got a hp 1800NW wifi printer, id like to be able to wifi print from anywhere in the house from my lovely new kaiser.
What tools do i need to get this job done?
Has anyone done this?
Many thanks
Surely this should have been one of the first things dealt with natively by win mobile 6?
Not sure if it works with WM6 (only mentions WM5), but this sounds like about the only product that will print via WiFi from a PPC....
Bachmann Software's PrintBoy V7
There's a 15-day trial available, so you don't have to shell out £50 for the full product until you've had a chance to test it!
By the look of things, it prints Word and PDF documents and not much more, so it might be less than useful
HTH,
Mark.
(Yeah, I've seen the TV advert too...looks pretty cool being able to print wirelessly, but it doesn't quite look as though its a reality just yet....)
I'd like to play with wifi printing as well, haven't even tried to search about this yet, hopefully there is an easy method!
WiFi printing has to be done with an app like Printboy (and there are a few around) but I have noticed that in WM6 there is now another option within the mail package.
If you click and hold on any message in the 'Inbox' window, the drop down menu shows 'Print via Bluetooth' and it works well with my HP 450BT printer.
Shame MS did not add this option for any other document though!!
EDIT.. Forgot that I had a registered copy of Printboy for my Universal. Dug it out, dusted it off and installed it on the 'Kaiser'.
Works fine, all you have to do is input the IP address and port 9100 and away it goes. Sometimes it does not format Word document pages too well and it is non-colour but its better than nothing!!
ok is there any free non demo prog available to do this?
thanks
I shelled out for PrintBoy and configured it to print to my networked OfficeJet via WiFi. It prints But there are 2 problems
1 - I can't print ANY SMS or POP3 emails. I can select them but the print button does nothing.
2 - to print word docs from Word Mobile, you must be sure and change the default template from ".docx" to the older ".doc" format of PrintBoy errors out.
I've got an email to tech support for help or refund. Fingers crossed.
I did find a different printing app, PIEprint by Fieldsoftware.com This adds a tap'n'hold print key option while surfing in PIE. This then prints the web page in Color VERY WELL (again over wiFi to my network OfficeJet). Cost $24.95 Great application!
I'm looking for any suggestions for a good email printer over WiFi, if PrintBoy won't work out.
I use JetCet and I am OK with it.
Thanks, I'll check out JetCet.
Here's PrintBoy's reply and my response;

Subject: RE: PrintBoy PPC v7, Email Printing....NOT
Hello Ed,
1. The registration screen does not retain your code. Once you get the successfully registered message , you are registered.
2. Currently PrintBoy does not support .docx files but we do hope to add this support in the future. We do not have an expected time frame for that release.
3. We have had a couple reported bugs in email printing that have been confirmed mostly for email transferred via Activesync. We will be resolving them in the next release. As a workaround, you would need to download mail and choose to "reply" and then save it as a draft then printing.

Hi Julie,
Thanks for the reply. First, it does look like I can “Forward” my emails and SMS messages, then save as draft, then open PrintBoy and print them. I’d like to add that NONE of my email or SMS is done thru Active Sync. So while this works, it’s not a very simple solution, especially for $50. Do you know approx when the next release is due out? It looks like the program hasn’t been updated in about a year or more?
Ed

asfoor, you rock! Thanks for the JetCet lead, it works Sooooo much better and it's only $19.95 go figure. Now I'm set for printing via WiFi
Hi,
I am new owner of a Kaiser, and new to the forum.
I am trying to move from a Blackberry as I want to be able to use 3G and offline SatNav.
Blackberry (T-Mobile UK) and TomTom set up and working just fine.
I have migrated 14,000 messages from the Blackberry to MS Outlook and then tried to synchronise with the Kaiser. After almost 5 hours, it completed the sync and then gave me a message that device memory was critically low.
I understand that messages and contacts are stored in cemail.vol and pim.vol. File size was 13 meg and 8 meg respectively.
The phone then became so slow that it became necessary to remove the messages. HTC's helpline was useless ! In the end I deleted the cemail and pim files.
There seems to be no way to move the message store to the memory card.
Is there some trick or registry edit that can redirect the message store to the card instead of the device ????
Also, any SIM-free unlocking codes ?
I am an amateur, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Why the hell do you need 14,000 old messages transfered to your new device?
Custel why do you always have to have a smart answer. If you can't provide a solution then STFU already.
Any disregarding Custels retarded post here is a link that may help you:
http://blogs.msdn.com/mpoulson/archive/2006/01/09/510839.aspx
You'll need a program like Total Commander or PHM RegEdit to change the value.
PHM regEdit is free do a google search for it. Follow instructions and it'll save emails to storage card.

gqstatus0685,
A belated Thank You !
PHM Regedit is a very nifty programme indeed.
The link you provided was for WM5, but it did get me heading in the right direction and I eventually found another post on this site with the WM6 reg keys.
I did get all the mail moved from my laptop to the storage card. However, it slowed down the access too much. Even with 90 Meg of free device memory, it took up to 14 seconds to open a message on the card.
T-Mobile sent me another Kaiser, but same problem........
For the moment, (both) Kaisers have gone back and its the Blackberry for work and a Compact 3 Artemis for Sat Nav/general use.
I'm hoping the new HTC Diamond with its faster processor will resolve the problem. I'll get one when the price comes down a bit.
Again, thanks for your help.
Please someone from Sony or an authorised developer make a profile ID widget card displaying avatar, ID, trophy list and card theme (e.g. infamous, re5 etc) similar to those you can create on their PS website.
I would love it so much and would appreciate!

I just ordered a G-Tab from Woot with the hopes of running Quickbooks on it, but only to update customers and print invoices on the job. Then when I get back to the office, I'd like to transfer the updates back to the main computer. So I have a couple questions to start:
1: Can I even put Quickbooks on my G-Tab (which I'm planning on rooting as soon as I receive it)?
2: If I can put it on the Tab, can I edit and print invoices, add customer info and then transfer it back to the main program?
I'm extremely new at this, just starting a business so I have no Quickbooks or G-Tab knowledge so any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much in advance!

Not to state the obvious, but the Tablet runs Android. Not Windows.
I don't know of any Android version of QB.
If you do the QB online stuff, you *might* be able to interact via the web version?
I just found this in the market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=mrw.com.roadwarier&feature=search_result
Looks promising.
You can log in to your office computer remotely, then create and email invoices from there.
LogMeIn Ignition in the Market
It let's you access your office computer from your gTab and run stuff on it like you're in front of your computer. I use it all the time when I have to travel for business.

Another option... If you Google Intuit Billing Manager, they have an online FREE invoicing program. I use it quite a bit and it does work from the tab (or phone even).
You can export and import customer data to make the setup pretty easy. Again, this is just a quick way to get an invoice out and will also email the invoice real time when you are done sending a copy to yourself and your customer.
