How To : Get session based net access for Java Apps

The problem
You have a Java application that makes use of the internet, eg Opera Mini or Google Local Maps, and you are finding that whenever it wants access the net you get prompted with a Yes/No dialog to either allow or disallow it to go through. With Opera Mini, this would occur everytime you clicked on a link to goto another page and in Google Local Maps it would happen everytime you pressed a button to scroll the map. Obviously this gets very frustrating as it slows down your use of the application.
This method of permitting net access each time it is required is known as "Oneshot".
The solution
The other method is "Session" where users are only prompted once per run of the application. However, some ROMs don't have this option under the security settings in the Midlet Manager despite being a newer version.
After much experimentation by a number of users, including myself, we have managed to determine that the rofs_target.zip file found in \Application Data\Tao\intent can be overwritten with one from a ROM where the "Session" option was available and it will give you this option in the ROM you are currently using.
1) Copy the attached cab file to anywhere on your device.
2) Make sure that you are not currently running any Java apps and that Midlet Manager has been closed down.
3) Execute the cab file and wait for it to finish.
4) Start up Midlet Manager and tap and hold on any app icon and then choose Security. Under Net Access you should now see the option of "Session".
Notes
This has only been tested on Wizard ROMs where Tao-Group's intent Midlet Manager is included. Whether it works on other devices that also have the same Midlet Manager has not been determined but other users are certainly welcome to try. The only thing the cab file does is overwrite (or create if it doesn't exist) \Application Data\Tao\intent\rofs_target.zip. It does not touch the registry or any other system related files or folders. As such it shouldn't break anything major if it doesn't work. All you would have to do is delete that zip file.
Having only been a recent "discovery", this method of getting the Session option back isn't refined as of yet. Collectively, we went through at least 3 other ways of doing it first, involving more files and doing it manually, before we arrived at the current cab installation. We may delve deeper into the folder structure found in the rofs_target.zip file to find out which file contains the appropriate setting so that we can make the solution even more compact. As such, this will be an ongoing thread and this post will be updated to include any developments.

A little more information on the options this CAB adds. On a clean install you will get the following options in the Tao Java MIDlet Manager:
Net Access: No, Oneshot, Session (Session is default)
Local Connectivity: No, Oneshot, Session, Blanket (Session is default)
App Auto Run: No, Oneshot, Session (Session is default)
Messaging: No, Oneshot, Session (Oneshot is default)
Multimedia Recording: No, Oneshot (Oneshot is default)
Now, if you already have MIDlets installed you may have to remove them and reinstall to get the new options to show up. Also, you will want to make sure that the MIDlet Manager is NOT running when you install the CAB. Best advice is to do a soft reset and then install the patch immediately on boot. If you're customizing your Extended ROM, then slap it in there.
NOTE: This patch only fixes the security settings issue with the MIDlet Manager. It does not add JPEG support.

Seems to work well enough on the Hermes.
Thanks

Hi newbe from the UK here...
I have a MDA Pro with T-Mobile with the same problem, tried the fix above, copied & installed successfully... but still as before: only "Oneshot" and "No" options!!!
This is driving me insane!
Any help appreciated!

Yey! It works now!!
Just had to uninstall and reinstall the MIDlets and voila!
Reread gamescan's message
Thanks very much to all

Excellent; it works perfectly on my T-Mobile MDA Vario II with Opera Mini.

Hermes with T-mobile UK WM6 update
I was using the cab on my device (T-mobile Vario II) when it was running WM5. Having applied the recent t-mobile WM6 update, I found that the cab refused to install (citing that it was not meant for my device).
Bad times.
However, managed to force it back onto my device by opening the cab in post #2 (java_session_fix_-_june_15_2006.cab) in winzip and extract the file 00cab172.001 from it. I renamed the extracted file as rofs_target.zip and manually placed it in the location in post #1 on the device (\Application Data\Tao\Iintent) - I kept the original one backed up just in case - it was substantially larger than the replacement so you never know.
And now, once again, I can tag applets as having session based net access again!
Good times!

T-Mobile MDA pro now works with sessions
Hi
I spent ages looking for a solution this is great, I use my MDA for Betfair and could not use Betfair mobile as it kept asking for permission every page update, now it just keeps refreshing prices every 5 seconds.
A huge thankyou...

Disable F-Secure Anti-virus

Is there a way of disabling the F-Secure anti-virus application? Although I don't run it, it tries to re-install every soft reset. I'm not necessarily saying I want it deleted, just want to stop it from coming up all the time.

Probably not the answer you're after, but I found installing Hard-SPL and then Dutty's ROM worked great - no more F-Secure nagging when it starts up! Plus, the OS is so much nicer than T-Mobile's original one it's ridiculous.

I'd say look in the windows/startup folder for an f-serve link, and delete it. If not you may try searching the registry for f-serv related keys.

Thanks for the replies. I ended up just deleting it as I found it listed in the 'remove programs' list!

I have an issue that may be related to f-secure.
I cant delete/rename/copy/move any file on my device. I can't even access files from ActiveStink.
Also, no programs come up in the 'Remove Programs' utility.
I can't install anything new to try fix this as installation isn't working either - I always get an "Installation of XXX was unsuccessful" error message.
I am using an HTC TOuch Dual (WM6), with F-Secure Mobile Security.

Can anyone help?

how do you install .net compact framework 3.5 on you HTC?

i ccan't figure this out does anyone can tell me the procedure?
were to download and how to install??

Do a search. on either google or on this forum before asking plz.
This question has been answerd before.
But sins there was no thread that was acualy called like your question ill post the answer and maby next time when someone search they will defenetly find the answer
Go to the link below and download the program and install it on your computer.
When its done it will install it on your phone aswell. (so keep it connectded to the computer while you install it)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Go here
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...49-3C6B-42F1-9FD9-0041345B3385&displaylang=en
If you read the instructions, it will tell u.
This package uses ActiveSync 4.0 to update the device. Before running NETCFSetupv35.msi, connect your device to your PC. If your device is not connected, ActiveSync will store the CAB file and will not install the package until you connect. If you are not using ActiveSync, run the CAB files on the device that correspond to the device–specific CAB files found in the install folder.

For now, it's not possible to download directly the cab file from MS site

google for the following files:
- NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab
- netcfcfg.cab (saves yourself from editing registry)
You will identify trust-worthy locations easy

Easier than you can imagine.
Search MODACO forum ( www.modaco.com ) NETCFCFG.cab and NETCFv35.vm.armv4i.cab
Install both and you will have a simple application in program menu to choose between net 2.0 and 3.5. DONE
You can also choose to use 2.0 for some applications and 3.5 for other

thnks y´all i found it on modaco, got it worked!!

pls help, I can't install it
it writes: "installation error. stop all applications and processes, maximize available storage space, and run installation again. Support info: 3"
I cant even uninstall it, and I get this msg always

"installation error. stop all applications and processes, maximize available storage space, and run installation again. Support info: 3"
Solution: I kill Kaiser Notification and then I can install .NET Framework without this problem. This app. using .NET Framework.
So I think the solution is in closing/killing all running applications.

What is the "kaiser notification"?
I have the same install error.
Thank you.

i have the same installation error as the last two posters. i tried killing every program i can and i still get the error

me too !......still can not install netcf v3.5 !!

After 2 days searching high & low through internet all discussion session, still can not find a solution. Therefore I made a self tracing and tried all kinds of method, at last I found a solution without doing a hard reset !!
rename mscoree.dll under windows\ to mscoree.dll.txt
re-install netcf v3.5
no more any error code comes up
thats it !!

I am running a tytn II, with the same problem. Install, i get the error. I can't uninstall, atleast not when I try through the 3.5 installer (remove or repair) or the "remove programs" on the kaiser.
I have hard reset the phone 2x,and regardless of whether I am installing from the exe or the cab file on the phone, still get the same error as everyone else.
This past time, i tried changing the name of the mscoree.dll under windows\ to mscoree.dll.txt and mscoree35.dll to mscoree35.dll.txt
same problem. I'm really beyond annoyed. Can someone help?

have a sprint diamond, how do i check which version i have and if its the newest?
it seems like all the programs i try and install say it requires a newer version than the one installed on the device but its only a month old so im not sure.. any help would be great..
thanks!!

I have the same question. I've searched all over and can't find an explanation of what .Net 3.5 is or how to find out if I have it already. I have a Sprint (CDMA) HTC Touch Diamond. Thanks.

I had the same problem on my HTC Kaiser, but I found a solution.
I found a program that acts like safe mode on a computer.
So if you install that program and restart in safe mode (you need to select safe mode when you boot), you will be able to install the compact framework 3.5.
Probable some locked files prevent the normal installation.
The program is an evaluation version, limited to 14 days, but since you only need it for the framework, you don't need to keep if you don't want to.
The app: SafeMode 3

...still not working on my touch diamond.
i've renamed the dll and tried the safe mode app. But I still get the same error.
btw: i have this problem since i installed a cooked rom.

Thanks. Was also having the install issue (I had previously installed and then removed 3.5 but good old ms clearly didn't remove correctly).
Renaming mscoree.dll worked (I tried mscoree2.5.dll before but that didn't work as it was in use so I couldn't rename that).
Glad it worked, was facing dropping back to previous backups or installing a task manager to kill processes (a good task manager program will show all your processes), just to reinstall 3.5.

another thing that goes wrong with the 6.5 wm and tf3d installed:
when you go to the movies, and you put your phone into vibrate, with the left volume keys, the phone goes into vibrate fine,
but when you set it back to full volume, the next time someone calls, it only vibrates, you have to go to: Settings, Sound and change the ringtone manualy to make it ring again...
Sorry, Wrong Forum...

Can not delete/ rename files through explore or on device. Unable to synchronize.

Heres a strange one.....
Just recently tried to sync my MDA Compact 4 and got the following error message:
"Synchronization cannot be completed successfully. Reconnect your device and try again. If the problem persists, see the Microsoft ActiveSync Troubleshooter in Microsoft ActiveSync Help on your desktop computer."
On investigating further, i tried the following suggestions:
- Turned off all firewalls
- Removed partnership between phone and pc (on both the phone and pc)
- Unchecked "Enable advanced network functionality" in USB to PC settings on the phone
- Reinstalled Activesync 4.5 (and also a tried a repair)
- Different USB cable and USB port (not using a USB hub)
- Several soft reboots
and finally tried a different PC just to see if i could get a guest partnership! Guess what? Same error message.
I am, however, able to explore the phone with activesync but only explore. I cant change file names, add files or delete.
On even further investigation, i've now also discovered that i cant delete/ rename files on the phone itself (using file explorer on either the device or internal storage). When i do, i get the following message:
"Cannot remove/ rename etc: Access is denied.
Be certain that the folder/file is not write-protected and is not currently in use"
(Even creating a new folder and then immediately trying to delete it gives the same error)
If i connect the phone to the PC as a disk drive though, i am able to delete files just fine. Add new files, rename them etc....without any problems.
This leads me to believe that the problem is with Windows Mobile!?!
Has anyone else experienced the same/ similar problem and figured out how to fix it? (Other than perform a HARD reset/ Clearing the storage)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
UPDATE:
I found this on the Microsoft help forum.
Although it hasnt fixed my problem, it might help someone else who is having the same problem.
1) soft reset device
2) Start / Office Mobile / Word
3) Create a new document (click on New)
4) type some text (just plain text - no formatting - it was 'plain text document') just a few characters
5) File / Save As...
6) I have selected type 'Plain Text'
7) It asked me whether I want to save it at 'Word document instead' - I clicked No.
8) I have powered off the device and did soft reset
9) Start file explorer, find the file (it was in My Device / My Documents), click on it - it opens Word again.
10) Add some formatting (I have selected part of text and changed font to bold)
11) Close Word - it asked whether to save it in Word format - this time I said Yes
12) Power-off the device and press soft reset again
Also, i noticed that i am able to modify any DOCX or TXT file within Mobile Word (and even delete them) just not from File explorer on the device or Explore within ActiveSync.
Can anyone help???

Same problem with different model

You're not alone. I have HTC Touch Pro (ie. Raphael) with exactly the same problem and I've also already tried that "Word-solution" several times without any help. However I can synchronize with my exchance server via 3G. I can also add/remove/rename files if I use some of the Office mobile applications, but not with file explorer.
Getting sooooo frustrated, but still not willing to do the hard reset.

Do both of you by any chance have Fsecure Mobile installed? Just trying to narrow the cause for the problem.

Same Problem Here
I have a T-Mobile Wing and I'm having the exact same problem. Anyone figure out whats up yet? It's so strange that I can delete/remove files and folders through active sync, but I can't through the device file explorer. I have also tried creating a folder with the file explorer, but then I cant delete, move or rename it.

Here's something that might work for you, http://www.24hsoftware.com/How-To/this-device-is-restricted-from-downloading-this-file-type.html
Unfortunately it hasn't work on any devices that I've seen but then again, I'm still thinking that F-secure mobile is causing the problems in our devices. F-secure has confirmed that they have heard about the problem and are investigating it.

This is very interesting as in the past 24 hours my Xperia X1 has started to do the same, I can create files ok but am unable to remove/copy files.
I am using f-secure mobile security, so it would seem there is an issue there. I'll fire an email to them to get myself on a fix list when it comes out if that's the problem!!

Any news on this issue?
I am using a trial version of F-secure mobile (on my SE Xperia, a sort of HTC ). Now, out of the blue I am experiencing similar problems:
- not able to connect to pc via Active Sync
- not able to delete/rename/copy files on both internal as external memory
- programlist appears empty
Did anyone try to remove F-secure to solve the problem?
Thanks.

I just got a reply from F-secure. They have identified the problem and are expecting to release a new version of the client within next two weeks.
Hopefully that's the end of this...

Updated client was published on last friday.

I am experiencing a very similar problem on my HTC HD2 with wm6.5. If I connect the phone as USB mass storage i can copy files as much as I want to on the SD card, however when I disconnect the cable after copying WM6.5 cant read the folder sometimes.
Othertimes when I connect the phone as Activesync and start to copy some files, it stops half way through, sayign "access is denied". if that happens I cant transfer any files anymore, it will always give same error until some time passes, few disconnections, restarts, no consistency, no definite workaround. The strange is when it gets into this "access is denied" mode I can still browse the device (storage card) and create and delete folders. very-very frustrating.... did a few soft and hard resets, reinstalled activesync couple of times, still no joy...and i dont have any FW app on my device...
thanks.

Another cry topic? WM6 bug

Yes, probably topic #1000 about this. But PLEASE keep reading.
I got the famous WM6 bug/error/whatever.
Symptoms:
- Access is denied error message when trying to copy files to the phone using ActiveSync.
- Access is denied error message when trying to delete any files or copy files between folders and/or the storage card on the phone.
- You do not have permission to download that type of file in Internet Explorer when trying to download any files.
- No programs show up in Remove Programs.
- Installation Unsuccessful error messages when trying to install any applications.
- ActiveSync will fail with an error message that you should start the troubleshooter.
It might have something to do with F-Secure I installed, and tried to uninstall (which ofcourse is impossible, since no programs show up in my installed programs/delete programs list). However, tons of ppl have had the same problem before so it has probably have nothing to do with F-Secure.
Now about the famous fix (which can be found for example here).
It's not working for me. Yes I tried this fix like 10 times, exactly like its written, sometimes a bit different, not using bold but Italic etc etc. I find #12 an inconsitency for example, since shutting it down and THEN doing a soft reset doesnt make any sense to me. Anyway I did like it said, and I still have all the problems I've had before.
My question: is there anyone that has had this bug before and DID fix it, or is there anyone that knows how to fix it after all? Or, last but not least, is there someone willing to rewrite the fix in uber noobish language, step by step, that might help me fix this. I'm quite desperate and totally not looking forward to hard reset my device. Thnx in advance
Some device information:
ROM Version: 1.93.404.1 NLD
ROM Datum: 07/10/08
Radioversion: 1.00.25.05
Protocolversion: 52.29.25.12H
Dutch provider Hi
No new roms installed, flashed stuff nothing. Just tweaks and programs installed.

I'm wondering if I should leave it like it is now and be patient for replys, or move/recreate this topic somewhere more "windows mobile"-like, since it might have something to do with the OS itself, and not just my kind of mobilephone ...

Sorry to hear your problem. I'd came across the problem once and YES the fix doesn't cure all the problem.
Luckily i've backup my PDA using sprite before the problem starts. What i did: 1) Hard reset the device. It will CLEAR ALL the memory and restore to factory default.
2) Reapply my first backup. (if you have it, if not, just reinstall everything). Remember though your backup in activesync might not be sync again! - that what happen to me. Luckily i have a copy in my Hermes.
3) My PDA is back to normal!
4) Careful when you modding your PDA. Just don't get mad to those that tries to help, some might not work on your device depends on what ROM you're/they're using. If anything goes wrong, just accept the fact that its your fault and -ALWAYS- have a backup ready. Just Hard Reset.

And I'm sure you're familiar with the lack-of-a-backup-till-I-need-it thingy ... I'll go mayhem on MSWM if I'm losing my photos and texts ... Contacts I can copy or just rewrite, but damn, my photos :s Thnx for the reply tho.

If you keep it synced with your computer/outlook, there shouldn't be much of a problem.
Ever since my first WM device, I've kept a list of all changed settings, etc. A hard reset isn't really that big of a deal. You do it, reinstall a few apps you had, change some settings from the cheat sheet you keep, sync with outlook, and you're good to go.
Think of your Diamond as a slave device to your regular PC. Sure, you apply a few tweaks to it, but other than that all your data should be on your PC.

Yeah and foto's and text messages and contacts ?? All gone, hard reset not that much of a deal I find it quite frustrating =(
