I've just installed Microsoft Vista and find it a very nice operating system.
For my phone I had to install the Vista version of ActiveSync, I paired up my phone with that prorgam and it worked flawlessly.
But what FU#[email protected]% idiot has made an option to overwrite the phone data with that of outlook WITHOUT asking a deletion approval.
When installing software on my Vista machine askes me several time if I'm sure.... But that louwsy program just deletes everything without even asking.
Fortunately, I was just a merely 250 contacts that I've completely lost since my backup was lost due to the Vista installation.....
Normally the contacts would be in the deleted messages box, but since I've turned of that option I completely lost everything...
BASTARDS !!!!!!
(Sorry for that.)
I'm going outside now and break something....
Hope that'll release my frustration..

It happened to me several times cuz I always reflash my PDA and format my laptop.. I decided to save them in Microsoft's servers and add them to Messenger live contacts
When you pair your devices the MOBILE DEVICE CENTER is asking you how you want your data synchronized: replacing on mobile device, replacing on pc or combining! I guess you haven't paid attention! Even after you paired your devices you can change this options in the settings.
yikes, im sorry about that. Also happened to me not too long ago except on XP when I deleted the contacts on my phone. I resynced hoping that phone contacts would be restored, but instead stupid activesync deleted all the contacts off outlook even though AS was set to "replace items on device"!
Thankfully, all my contacts were moved to the "Deleted Items" folder, and I could restore them! (hit ctrl-6 when in outlook) I hope this helps.

Microsoft needs to make Vista Windows compatible.
After this happened to me twice I started to backup my contacts regularly with PIM Backup...

damn straight! best program i've ever used. by backing up to a memory card once/twice daily you cant really go 'wrong' as such!
now, if only it was a 'requirement' for all cooked roms!
sorry to hear about your loss. lol. i very nearly lost my ENTIRE MSN messenger contact list (comprising of some 400+ contacts) but luckily i had 'tried' WLM on my smartphone before hand and it had synced them to that!
WLM is weird in the only sense that it will delete from both your phone and from your messenger list!
go back to XP Pro.
Vista is crap.

Service Pack 1 set for early next year. Looks like it'll fix a lot of stuff.

Typically one should never upgrade a Micky$ OS until SP1 is released, XP and W2k are both great examples. My biggest complaints are USB and network speed when copying data... just today went back to XP on my Thinkpad... just SO much easier when dealing with PDA's... (more importantly, my version of Ghost Server won't live under Vista... that's a deal closer for me... and screw Virtual PC and such, no time or desire)
Here is My 2 cents worth:
Windows 95 was a huge improvement over Windows 3.1. --- Excellent Job!!!!
Windows 98 was just a suckier version of Windows 95.
Windows Millenium Edition ME totally sucked. I fell for it. They got my $100.00 ----- ripped me off.
However Windows XP really hummed. --- Excellent Job!!!!
Windows Vista is just a suckier version of Windows XP.
Windows Vista = ME2 Only this time they're Not getting my $100.00
Thats just my Opinion.
Stick with XP Pro...............................(I can hear Mac users saying "get a Mac")
Mac is not a solution - it limits just about anything you want to do with the computer. IMHO Win XP offers much more in terms of available software and hardware compatibility (even over Vista).
I agree Mac is Not an answer. I got a supervisor at work always telling me how much better a Mac is. I never agree with him.
My Laptop has a door on the side where you can slide out the HDD. I have 3 Hard Drives.
1 has Linux -- can't begin to figure that one out.
2 has XP -- its my Old Faithful. Tried and True. The one I use.
3 has Vista Ultimate -- slmgr -rearm every 30 days. Testing it. It really does suck.
PIM Backup is the best!
Sorry to hear. I use intellisync to sync my data. I sync some stuff from lotus notes and some stuff from outlook. But the main reason i use intellisync is because before it does anything it prompts you with a dialog and tells you what it is about to do. Then I can go ahead or cancel or re sync everything.
I've tried other products and they didn't prompt and I've spent hours cleaning up duplicate entry's after the first sync.
Right now I'm having a few probs with intellisync though and am working with their support to figure it out. But its still one of the best sync programs I know of.

I just had the EXACT same thing happen to me. Its a good thing I had a "not too old" backup saved to the Airset Website. Otherwise I would have been TOTALLY screwed.
yep i know how you feel, had the same thing happen on my Magician and on the Hermes and more times than i can remember on the Nokia suite previous to that (believe it or not its worse than Activesync).
as for Vista im running it on the home laptop (it came with it) it is quite a shiny OS and considering the amount of surveys and control groups microsoft apparently did to perfect it (or finish it) its surprising there wasnt one Pocket PC user that said "hey you know that over write function in activesync..." unless there was and they didnt listen.
It wasn't Vista that caused the problem...
Personally I like Vista, the only thing I find crap is that you have to approve every program to run. It's great for security, but really crap If you play WOW, everytime the answer is yes, Vista won't remember it.
And someone mentioned that there is a choice how to sync.
That's correct, but when you pair your device it's kinda hidden in extra options I believe, I've found the button now. Still lost my contacts.
I find it really absurd that there isn't any message or approval question on the device. I think it would be nicer to let the program ask what data to keep what data to lose, if I setup syncing with data from the computer It will overwrite telephonenumber I've changed in the phone.
But I think I have got my contact almost complete again. It's a shame that I lost the phonenumbers that I pickup with te red button (ignore) or wiggle the scrollwheel up and down (silence).
So i'm looking for the hotspots log in application. Ever since i flashed to the pdaviet touchflo rom on my wing I have been missing this. Is there any place to just get the cab file? Or any other way to be able to log back onto hotspots?
thanks
You can login without the application.
1. Add a new wifi access point - Network name = tmobile - next page tick "The key is automatically provided" - Next - Finish. There are no other settings needing editted here.
2. Goto a hotspot location and turn on your wifi and highlight "tmobile" - connect.
3. Open your browser (IE) and wait until the intial page loads. Here you will get your login ability. Login (username is usually your 10 digit phone # and password if not changed is the last 4 digits of the account holders SSN) - Browse as you please
Note: You can do this with any wifi enabled device not only the phone example your laptop or PSP.
I think he is talking about using the Tmobile hotspot to make calls over the voip. Like "Hotspot at home" for tmobile.
I thought I was told the Wing is not applicable to [email protected] program. Hmm interesting might need to read into that a little more.

This is exactly what i was looking for. I appreciate it!
regards
Your welcome glad I could help. I spent the time on the phone with blackberry/PDA support on T-Mobile customer care to get that info. The 1st tier of support was stubbornly stating I had to use any tmobile device that accepts a sim card and use the prebuilt software. That was the only way according to the 1st tier got to Blackberry/PDA support and asked them how would it be done on a PSP and eventually they told me its all available in the Homepage and just to use my info. They were not forthcoming with what my info was and I eventually got them to tell me it was my 10 digit # and the last 4 of the primaries SSN. Now after you set all that up you can goto the Hotspot page and user your control panel there to do what you can with Hotspots. But it is definitely nice to know that the data package I got with T-Mobile Internet is exactly what they say it is and I do not have to get another $20 package to use Hotspots like the 1st representative was telling me I had to do.
Definately..
I'm not totally about the customer service reps either. Dont get me wrong, there are plenty out there that know what they are talking about, but there are plenty out there that dont! When I first got my Wing I was in a hurry. I bought it and left the store quickly. I called tmobile a bit later to add the total internet package to my plan and after about 20 minutes the rep told me that i could not get it on my plan!! I was like WHAT!! I just spent almost 400
bucks and you're telling me I cant get internet service on this smartphone?!? The reps exact words were "That is correct sir. However if you go and upgrade to a blackberry you can add the blackberry internet package." Then of course I politly told the rep she didnt have a f**king clue! So I went to a store and they added it on no problem.
I upgraded all via the internet. Never get a deal with them anyway as a matter of fact all my grandfathered packages always seem to disappear and they want to charge me more everytime I talk to them. Have had so many problems with the motorola devices from them. The wife got a nokia 8801 and we have had it replaced 4 times the battery and speaker system on that device is just horrible from them. The whole battery connector fell out right off the circuit board no abuse from the wife she takes decent care of her devices. But on subject I had the Internet Package for the nokia ngage and something happened and they offered a special package/price for it at the time. Well the program ceased and I was offered the Intenet Data package at $9.99. I was on that for a long time and then all the sudden it all stopped. I ended up with plain old t-zones. I had t-zones on all our phones 3 total and after they told me they can't help me I just cancelled the other 2 phone t-zones and went with internet on my phone and they can goto a Starbucks with a laptop if they need internet. I'm sure they love the coffee I havent had any myself not a coffee fan lol. But in the end I just got upgraded and had to figure it all out myself and argued with them to get it done right. I won't complain about the service I get what I pay for I don't expect much more than that. I have learned that major companies just don't appreciate the customer on a one on one basis.

But then you have to open the web browser and enter the password everytime you want to connect. I'm looking for the CAB too so that I can save my password and the log-in can be automatic. Nobody's got it, huh??

Excellent! Thanks! I want to use it on a Kaiser though, so that custom ROM you mentioned won't work.
Although I'm sure there must be a way to extract it from the NBF, huh?
did anyone ever find a cab or make one?
if so please post
thanks =]
I made these cabs a while back... I'm surprise no one found them by searching the site
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2010453&postcount=2
Here are the direct links to download as long as you're logged into the site:
duprade T-mobile Hotspot Utility.CAB
duprade T-mobile T-Zones.cab
thanks for the cabs!
No problems.
Excellent! Thanks!
I think the search does not index attachment filenames and that post was about tZones. They'll find it now I'm sure.
Thanks again! It works great!
What exactly does the Tzones cab do? does it set up the Tzones proxy for you?
Save my day !
Thanks for the files, you saved my day !
I downloaded the cab, but i dont know where to go from there. I am just a normal person with a laptop and a tilt.
Do you have a domain set up for your laptop? Probably not so there is no way for you to use the Remote desktop app there are other apps out there but most cost money
You dont need a domain setup to use it. You can just leave that blank. You need to know your IP address, and you need to have a password setup on your machine for remote desktop to work, you can not connect if you do not have a password.
If you are behind a router, you need to forward the correct ports for it to be able to connect to your pc as well.
After its setup, you just need to connect via ip address, through a connection that is not behind a nat, if you are using att, you need to have access to the isp.cingular apn, wap.cingular does not work.
This is a pretty loaded question. Along with the information from fastblack, you'll also need to ensure your version of Windows supports Remote Desktop and that remote connections are allowed. Also depending on the environment there may be other security settings on the machine you are trying to connect to that will need to be considered.
In short, if you don't know how to do this already, it might not be the right solution for you. It can get pretty complicated in some cases.
I have vista premium. Say was to use a router for my laptop and my tilt for wifi. How do i create a password for my computer?

i can understand somewhat if someone comes here asking how to do something on a phone that is in the manual.......but now u're asking something about setting a password on your computer.......i dont use vista, so i can exactly tell you where to look but, i hear that vista comes with this brand new thing.......its called the help files, you should check it out
why not just use logmein (www.logmein.com) easier, faster, better
from logmein use hamachi mobile on the laptop and hamachi regular on the desktop to bypass firewalls....
Oh never mind, you would still need to know how to setup basic network security etc.
If this is the route you want to go pm me and I can send you some links to get started. It's not really that complicated but depending on the details there are alot of variables. Would post the links but would have to start googliny myself
But if you google you find allthe answers and any guide telling you how to RD from a normal computer to another - just treat the handhelp RD software the same.
This is how you do it in XP, Vista setup has to be very similar I bet:
Set the password for the windows user account you log on to on your PC. This can be done in Control Panel - in the User Accounts application.
Next you have to activate the remote desktop function. This can be found by right-clicking My Computer, go to properties, and then to the "Remote" tab. Check the "Allow Users to connect remotely to this computer" box.
Now check your local ip. this can be done by selecting the "Run" button in start, then type cmd and hit enter. In the that window type: "ipconfig" (without the quotes) and a line will read IP address . . . . . 192.xxx.xxx.xxx or something of the sort.
Thats the IP address you connect to, and when the prompt for username and password comes out, type in your Windows User Account respective username and password.
Good luck =)
delete. nm this

this is correct assuming you are:
A. attached to wireless
B. on the same network as the PC you are trying to control
if you want to control your home PC externally, there would be 1 additional step, and two optional but recommended steps.
To access remotely (from anywhere in the world), you would have to go into your router configuration and map port 3389 to the ip address of your vista machine. now for the two optional steps that would make your life easier...
1. set a static ip on your vista machine that is out of dhcp range.
2. use a service like dyndns.org and either set this up in your router if compatible, or install the free update client on your PC.
with this setup you should be able to access all your pc resources from anywhere in the world, not only on your PPC device, but any windows PC with a Remote Desktop client.
security note - set a strong password on your vista machine. port 3389 is well documented and scanned for by hackers. if the option is there, while your in your router turn off ping reply.
if all this is foreign to you, find me @ www.insiteitsolutions.com and i will take care of you.
Cab??
I can't find the remote desktop cab anymore. I tried searching the forums. I've looked at Dutty's site and all the cabs. Can someone point me to it please. I think maybe I am just not seeing it for some reason. I'm sure it's there, I've downloaded it before. Thanks!

I have tried three different ways to build the Example 1 HelloPhone app for the Windows Phone 7 and I cannot connect to the emulator. It pops up and the OS initializes, but the bottom of the screen says trying to connect with the phone and then times out after a long time and gives a system call error dialog box.
I'm brand new to Windows Phone development so please excuse if this is a newbie question.
I'm using Visual Studio Express, I tired Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and two different Mac's (Macbook Pro and Mac Mini (latest new ones with the Core 2 Duo chipset). My Mac's run parallels version 4 and Windows XP or Windows 7.
Anyone seen this problem? I've posted this on the Windows Phone Forum too, but am not getting many hits. I can't believe something basic like this has me stopped dead in my tracks before even starting to learn how to program these phone.s

You have to register your phone as a Dev phone. You can use Zune to register
.
BTW, I think you have to be a registered developer (go to appHub) in order to be allowed to register as many as 5 WP7 phone as dev phones. If you are a student you are free to register for a year or if not you have to pay the $99 free per year.
If you are a student go to DreamSpark.... Find your school and register yourself.
Hi, as the title implies I'm trying to recover critical password and account data (Yahoo and Windows live, either/or) from an HD7 before doing a factory wipe so I can re-insert these passwords/data since the user has long since forgotten these, yet as the HD7 sits it isn't connecting to the internet and he cannot get into his accounts (yahoo and windows live, both use each other as a backup, and both have the same password- I told him this was stupid..how is he supposed to recover the PW if he forgets it, as he has FFS). Unless I can find an option to change the password within the HD7, that is if it will connect again, the only other way he is going to recover these accounts is if I can unlock the phone and retrieve files directly from the SD card..I assume these files would be backed up in user folders somewhere possibly readable by notepad? Hopefully not encrypted.. if anyone can point me to where they are, I am researching how to retrieve the files from this particular phone (my first WP7 phone...I much prefer Android I have come to learn, and HTC too, S-on/S-off, I have a lot to learn). If not, is there a way to change one of the accounts' pwd's FROM the phone, provided I can get it tethered or the WiFi begins to act correctly? I can't make heads or tails of the UI and the menus/lack thereof? (it's like an android phone without the 'settings' soft key!)
If this has been tackled before, I apologize, but a search turned up mixed and irrelevant information.
Thanks!
