Prophet Camera to Wizard

Hi...
Attached here are the Camera files from the Jamin.Install No Cert CAb first and then copy all the files to Windows folder.
I was not able to extract cameraDriver.dll...but the results are good.Pls post yr feedback.

Do we know what the differences are? Has anyone tried this, compared results, etc?

Isn't the camera in the Prophet completely different from the one in the Wizard?

what's supposed to be the point if the hardware is different?

Do you by chance have the original files in case something goes wrong or the quality isn't as good as the original (although I can't see how that's even possible :roll: ). Thanks for posting this, I'm anxious to give it a try.

Where I can find "No Cert CAb"?
Thanks

any special way im supposed to copy the files into the windows directory. its not lettin me do so. sayin access denied. I already have No Cert cab installed

I didn't have to install the no cert cab. All I did was connect the phone thru activesync, clicked the explore button in activesync, then copied all the files in the dloaded camera file and pasted them right into the Windows folder on the PPC. Soft reset and good to go. I think these are the same files that are already on the Wizard, though. I don't really see much if any difference.

Correction on my last post. I just reloaded the original camera files and recompared to the Prophet files - why didn't they install these in the first place? They're much more responsive than the Wizard files. The camera is much less grainy and more responsive when you first start looking and an object and focusing on it. The pics do seem to be a bit cleaner and brighter as well, but I'll have to take a couple shots from each to compare.

There's certainly no ill effects from installing the new camera app, I don't see any immediate benefit however. Attached are the old files (from the latest i-mate rom) so you can revert if you want to. I'll try it some more and report what I find. The important thing (assuming the camera on both Wizard and Prophet is identical) is the cameradriver.dll - if anyone has a JamIn could you please post the cameradriver.dll file so we can try it). Here's a quick before/after picture - not much difference, however I tried this in a decent light level.

thanks for the example i also couldnt see any difference, but are there any new Options in the cam app?

One thing I've noticed in Adjust... is that Gamma has been replaced by Sharpness.
In fact, just hacked the .exes and although the JamIn's camera app is v3.02, it was compiled after the latest i-mate one (v3.00), so perhaps the Wizard files are the most up-to-date? (Maybe the .02 refers to a build specifically for the Prophet?) I've attached the original i-mate files this time (oops!).

anyone know what the problem is with mine. i cannot replace the files in the windows folder. i get a msg saying access denied

Simple Yes or No.. MediaNet PPU charges

I have mediaNet unlimited... I just upgraded to the 2.23 rom by summiter which in the connections it shows "myISP" and not mediaNet......
Will I get charged Pay-Per-Usage?

There is no simple answer to is. Using My ISP or Media Net (the only difference is the use of proxy server) does not matter to the billing. I use My ISP all the time w/o being charged PPU. First, make sure PPU is not showing up on your account features. Many times, CSR will forget to take it off when adding Media Net or even PDA connection. Secondly, don't over use the data. If your data usage stands out, Cingular will definitely take a close look at your account and decide you should use Media Net plan and slam you with PPU.

Thanks for the reply.
I think that I will just flash back to the summiter 2.17 rom. I know that I didnt get the PPU charge on it. (just as a precaution) I am almost certain it had MEdiaNet in it in.
let me ask this... is thier a cingular CAB file that will set up the settings ?

why not just use the medianet profile as default if you are worried about it? the settings are in there, just not as default.

You need call and ask them remove that PPU from your account. You're being charged PPU right now.

Agreed... I just loaded the 2.17 rom and all is good now.. the proxy and all that good stuff is in there.

Again, I and many others don't use proxy server because of Wi-Fi issues. As long as PPU feature is not on your account, it really doesn't matter you use proxy server or not. You need call CSR to remove that *feature* from your account regardless. Sooner or later, it will bite you with a huge bill even if you're using proxy server.

[SOLVED] SDCard not recognised, RAPI/ActiveSync disabled, caused by Exchange policies

Dear all,
My Storage Card keeps disappearing after a while. Can't get it back other than by hard-resetting the device.
I've rebuild the phone several times now, and after a few hours incl. some warm-reboots, it's not able to recognise the SDCard anymore. Another problem which I figured out is that it disables RAPI too, which makes connecting with ActiveSync impossible. Luckily I was able to build an enableRAPI.cab file, which enables it (which I sent by mail to my phone!)...Well... Anyone that knows what this might be caused by?
Regards,
Nika.
PS. This started when I started to use the new ROM (see signature), but I think it's a general issue, maybe caused by UC or other programs installed by UC, or myself (after restarting)...

Hi all,
I have figured out that this is caused by Exchange policies (after my first Activesync Sync) pushed to my mobile! I have no idea how to change them back, going to try to figure that out now...
Any thoughts?
Regards,
Nika.

Dear all,
I figured it out. This was caused by the "enforce security settings" which can be done by Microsoft Exchange push-mail.
I got the following message:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I hadn't realised before, but this caused my phone to be inaccessible for ActiveSync (RAPI was disabled) too, and made my StorageCard disappear.
When I realised this I started my investigation on Microsoft Exchange. I opened the Exchange Management Console:
And then I opened the Default Properties, and changed to the Sync Settings tab:
Here I turned on all options, resynced the phone, rebooted and all my issues were solved
Kind Regards,
Nika.

For those of you interested in the rest of the Exchange Security Policy settings, here's screenprints of the other tabs:
Regards,
Nika.

thanks
Nice info
many thanks, this helps much ppl...
Cheers

Lol, thanks. You wouldn't want to know how many times I reinstalled my phone due to this (thank god for Sleuth's UC!!), so I really hope this thread will help people struggling with the same problems if they arise...
Regards,
Nika.

Cert fixed my problem
I noticed that your Exchange 2007 settings had the "Allow nonprovisional devices..." setting still enabled. This was initially the setting I changed in our Exchange 2007 environment that made the difference, however, as others have suggested, this was an unacceptable long term solution and likely not even a possibility if you're not the Exchange Admin.
The solution for me was to export the cert (the same one that is used when logging into your Outlook Webmail) and install the cert on the phone.
The problems described in this thread only became an issue for me when I upgraded to 6.1. I kept the same radio 1.48 so I know it wasn't a radio issue in my case.
I switched the nonprovisional setting off once I installed my cert and the device has had no problems syncing ever since. Compromising policy and security is never the best solution (although still a solution sometimes) so I hope this helps some of you in the same boat as I was in.

Did you have to enable the options on the 'Device' tab as well as I would pretty much want all them features enabled ?
This worries me a bit as my company is about to upgrade to Exchange 2007 and they don't consult users before enabling things like this. I currently use BlackBerry Connect but would prefer to move to native ActiveSync since BBC has some other issues. If it means they are going to lock out all the functionality of my Kaiser then I'll not bother. I'll have to wait and see...

HTC Battery Drainage Bug (Possible Fix)

Hello,
This is my first attempt at .NET CF programming. It is in reference to this thread.
It attempts to cycle the power to the GPS hardware eight times (at 200ms intervals) by calling GPSOpenDevice() and GPSCloseDevice().
It also shows the raw information provided by GetSystemPowerStatusEx2() if you need to troubleshoot your battery.
I'm not sure that it works, but it attempts to do programmatically what is described in the thread link above.
Full source code is included. I think it is also a great tutorial VB.NET project for anyone wanting to learn how to read the power on their device.
Please let me know what you think, and if it even works towards being a workaround for the HTC/Qualcomm chip standby-power drain bug. If it does work, I'll improve it (add autorun/exit-after capability, systray, etc..)
To use this without dealing with VS2005/compiling/etc, just copy HQPowerFix.exe from the bin/Release folder (in the zip) to your device (anywhere) and run it from there.
Note: These images are from my development machine. They look different on the device:

Nice idea! But it seems would be useful to cycle gps state not a fixed amount of times, but based on result of battery drainage (if it's below the certain level, the fix was succeed and no need to cycle gps anymore).
Also it would be useful to create a "command-line mode", when the program is starting and doing the fix without user interference. When done, it makes possible to launch iGo and this program from one script file, to implement the fix automatically after exit from iGo.

I found the MSDN documentation on the SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS_EX2 structure:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa926903.aspx.
It seems I didn't properly implement this structure's usage in my code, so I am planning to fix it tonight when I get home from the office.
@Vladimyr: That's a great idea, I do plan on doing that if this program turns out to be worthwhile and actually do the GPS power-drain fix as intended. Once I figure out how to more accurately read the mV/mA metrics, I will start working on that.
I'm also now working on a front-end/back-end for controlling a Car PC from a Pocket PC.. I think an older iPaq is cheaper than a Lilliput touchscreen

Any updates to your program? Also, is it possible to edit the thread title and put GPS in it? I'd been meaning to reference back to this one and it took me a while to find it.

HAVE ANYONE TRIED THIS ALREADY?
DID IT FIX THE PROBLEM?

Tilt wm6.1 tethering

anyone successfully tethered their tilt with wm6.1?

Absolutely. I do it daily (without a tethering plan even). What kind of problems are you having?

How?

Can you share how? I hate paying lots of extra bucks for tethering. I use it extensively and download a lot of stuff.

I hate reading another redundant thread regarding media net and teathering

wireless tethering with WMWiFiRouter is the best way to go. Google it and download.

I second that.... I am using Version 1.25 although there is an update to V1.30. I do not want to update since the version I have works flawlessly and I am used to it.

super easy, use file explorer or whatever software you use that does the same thing, go into the phones "windows" folder, go down to the program called internet sharing, copy it. Now go to you folder in the windows folder called "start menu" then "programs" now paste the program here or one of the subfolders. DO NOT PASTE SHORTCUT. now you should be able to go under start menu programs and start the program. You will probably notice that it says something like at&t isp, change that to media net, conect to your computer and press the tab that sais connect and you should be golden.

then don't read it. no one is forcing you to. and allot of people don't have time to sit there and spend hours going through the many other posts that are not what they are looking for.

kemp509 - You rock! Works like a charm. I'm using it as I type this message. I can't wait to use it the next time I'm out of WiFi range.

BTW - I tested my speeds at http://www.speedtest.net/ and it turns out that my AT&T network has faster download speed then my home broadband by 35%! Upload was the same.

Wow...
I guess on my side my mobile connection won't equal my home connection anytime soon

This may be a stupid thing but I get so far and then it wont connect. I get a "Connect Bluetooth Connection" screen asking me for a username and password. What am I doing wrong?

works great
Hey kemp thanks man it works like a charm.. So am i safe from ATT seeing i am useing my laptop. Dont want to see that terhering charge pop up on my bill lol?
