When I try to connect to the Goodlink server (corp email) with WM6, it says that my device is not supported at this time.
Do you guys know if Good Link is supported on WM6? If so, is there a special installer somewhere that is not on the Good Link website? If there is not, is there something I can do to make Good Link think it is on a WM5 OS?
Thanks for any help !!!
Does anyone have any more info on this issue?
We are experiencing some issues with WM6 and getting GoodLink on it.
One person was able to get GoogLink to work by doing a restore using a 3rd party app. But new installations of Good do not allow it to be installed because it does not recognize the handheld (OS, i'm sure).
Anyone know if there is a workaround? Registry tweak? Or just wait for a new version of Good to be released by Motorola-Good that supports WM6?
BTW, although its the same issue, were talking about WM6 on the HERMES device.
"One person was able to get GoodLink to work by doing a restore using a 3rd party app. But new installations of Good do not allow it to be installed because it does not recognize the handheld (OS, i'm sure)."
Hold on, how did this person do that? And we are talking about on WM6, right? Can you direct me to the thread or give me directions, please?
Yes, this is on WM6 and HTC HERMES, like I said in my post. The BACKUP was done while the phone still had WM5 and the RESTORE was done while the phone had WM6.
As far as what app was used, I do not know, I believe it was some 3rd party app that backs up and restores your apps/data, look around in the forums.
I tried the 'dirty fix'. Wow, when they said dirty, they meant it !!! the phone crashes every other second and you get error messages and freezes with every button you hit. I'll remember your user name and will pm you if I ever find a fix or see goodlink for wm6. Please do the same
Motorola-Good released version 4.9.3 (which according to an email from a Good rep, is supposed to support WM6)
I downloaded it but am still having trouble getting it to install on WM6.
I'm posting the link to Good 4.9.3 in case anyone would like to see if they can figure it out.
http://customerportal.good.com/techSupport.php?id=70
Use the last download button on the page, the SD installation version. The others are for the server.
did I miss something? i dont see where it says it supports wm6.
Edit: okay, I read slow. Never mind...a rep said this via email. I'll try it again
Same here on 8525 Cingular, I tried the GetGoodLinkPPC2005.cab & GLPackage2005.cab with no luck, when it does the Over the air setup it comes up with the error that its not compatible with the OS
UPDATE: For those that want to upgrade to WM6 and need to run GoodLink YOU MUST FIRST DO A GoodLink Backup from the Good Options on WM5!!, do it on the memory card and after you upgrade to WM6 you will find a file on the root of the card to restore GoodLink, what i do is connect to my wifi at home first then i do the update and IT WORKS I now have WM6 and GoodLink Good Mobile Messaging v4.9.2.30_EN on my 8525

I can confirm that this does indeed work with my 8525. However, I am experiencing delays in receiving emails on wm6. Sometimes they take 1 minute or less to arrive, other times they can take several minutes. This is a huge problem considering my organization pays to have no-latency email.
Uh oh... I think I found a deal breaker. I'm not receiving ANY mails, or seeing old mails, in subdirs.

I was having delays on WM5 so this is no news to me, not all the time but i did notice it, cant say the same for WM6 yet, overall it runs great, and much faster.
I'm curious what others have to say. Goodlink was so sluggish that I actually had to revert to WM5. I wasn't receiving mails that were automatically pushed to subdirs by Exchange rules and emails that did come in were coming in extremely sporadically.
It runs 100% on mine, no lag or delays here, it seems faster then on WM5 and this might be due to the fact that the OS is so much faster....
Goodlink working with WM6 & Wizard 8125
I did a backup in WM5 and did a restore after WM6 ROM Update. It works like a charm. My only problem now is that it did not make Goodlink contacts as the default one so I'm not getting any contacts in the phone dialer. I think I'm still using the v4.8.1.14_EN.
Just a quick note from a Hermes/8525 user ... Goodlink is working fine on all of the cooked WM6 Roms that are floating around for that device ... most of us first (in WM5) did a goodlink backup to the SD card, then we were able to "restore from backup" once WM6 was installed, without a problem. Known isssues at the moment once you have it up and running are:
No full integration with Dialer (the contacts button now reverts to outlook contacts, not goodlink contacts)
Auto Complete feature in WM6 does not work correctly within Goodlink Apps
Otherwise, seems to be working fine ... and just as fast as before (I still get my goodlink emails faster than I get them on my desktop computer in my office)
Good on WM6
Good version 4.9.3.34 and above will run on most WM6 devices. However, only your administrator can push this out to you via the Good Management Console (you can't control what version you get) so you will need to persuade whoever runs your Good server to push the very latest version. It doesn't matter what OTASetup file you get, it is always the Good server that decides what client build you get.
If you are getting the 'Device not supported' message then chances are your Good Admin is _not_ pushing the latest 4.9.3.34 or above version to your device. If you are getting a different message about the serial number, IMSI, etc. then it may be your device will just not run it.
--
For Good Admins:
In order to push the latest client you can simply change the version of the client you are deploying by:
1. Opening the Management Console
2. Clicking on the User Groups folder (in the left hand pane)
3. Right clicking on the ‘All Users’ group (for example)
4. Choosing ‘Manage Group’ from the drop down.
5. Clicking on the ‘Edit Group Software…’ button
6. Selecting ‘Windows Mobile 5.0 PocketPC’ in the top dropdown
7. Choose the latest version of the client available in the middle window (you may need to scroll up)
8. Select ‘Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone’ in the top drop-down
9. Repeat step 7
Hope this helps!

This is almost certainly an issue on the server side, not the device. You should speak to your Good Admin and check what the link is like between the Good Server and the Exchange Server.
Also make sure that if they have any software running in the background on the Good Server such as antivirus or backup that it excludes the 'Cache' and 'Logs' Good directories.
(Or get him to phone Good Support for a health check on the server ).
Thanks,
Kitt.
Okay, I think I got this to work without going through your admin... For those of you that didn't think to do a backup before upgrading and do not want to upgrade again, follow these steps:
1: Download http://customerportal.good.com/download/sdcard_4_9_3.exe
2: Extract.
3: Copy GetGoodLinkPPC2005.cab and GLPackage2005.cab from PPC_WM5.0/EN folder to your phone.
4: Run GetGoodLinkPPC2005.cab. This will take you through the standard OTA setup that you are used to.
5: Enter your e-mail and PIN as normal. Once it restarts, you should get the "Launcher executable was not found -8" error.
6: Run GLPackage2005.cab, ignore any errors.
7: Open File Explorer.
8: Go to \Program Files\GoodLink.
9: Run GoodApp (It's a 4.75 meg executable). This will create a new subfolder called GoodLink.
10: Now run GLLauncher from \Program Files\GoodLink.
You may have to hit OK a few times on an error that says "Could not autolaunch Goodlink", but with any luck this will work for you. It did work for me. The only reason I'm not guaranteeing the 10 steps above is because I clicked on things like a crazy person for about 10 minutes before I got it to work. However, the logic is sound. Basically, you're letting OTA push whatever your company specifies then you're installing the new, WM6 compatible version over it.
Hope this helps! It's working perfectly for me!!!

Hi,
:idea:
I'd be interested in everyone's comments re the slowdown caused by adding programs, and I guess others would too.
Part of it is normal caused by eating up the available memory, both storage (and ram?)
However I have found that some applications do not seem to work well on the XDA2i, even though they do actually work. The problem is that this only comes to light after a while, after you've actually shelled out the money for a product that seems fine.
I list below products that I have found work on my XDA2i and those that seem to irritate the XDA2i so that it gradually gets worse and needs a hard reset.
I have tried defragmenting, and believe that Pocket Mechanic works fine a few times then things grind to a halt.
I am not an expert, and obviously cannot prove that the products are faulty, so take what I list 'with a pinch of salt' - but it might be that others might add others or agree/disagree with my findings, and might be careful about thoughily testing before purchase.
1-Calc 2.3.1 seems fine
BIBLE WITH YOU for Pocket PC- GMPSoft seems fine.
Journal Bar seems fine
POCKET ARTIST seems fine
Pocket Controller- Professional 5.04 seems fine
POCKET DVD WIZARD seems fine
Pocket Streamer Pro seems fine
PocketBible - NIV Version by Laridian seems fine
RESCO EXPLORER 2005 seems fine
TCPMP (The Core Media Player) (freeware) seems fine
MTUX RingToneX - Ringtone Coloring 2.1 not sure about this
DVD to Pocket PC for me was problematic after version 2
1-Pass - Revolutionary Security App not sure
eXPerience (Windows XP Style Interface) had this running ok but slow on XDA2 but not tested on XDA2i
File Transfer Anywhere(PPC Anywhere) 3.01. Tried trial period but didn't like it.
iLOCK e-wallet password manager 1.0.1 had this running ok but slow on XDA2 but not tested on XDA2i
POCKET TV ENTERPRISE worked fine up to version 1.2 on my XDA2i
Pocket Mechanic. Not sure. I bought it to defrag XDA2i and storage. Found that after a few times the system slows down and needs to be restored.
TV Remote commander. Not sure about the usefulness because Very limited range.

andromeda9,
try using Tweaks2K2.NET. quite amazing tweaking software. can speed up your display. i can feel the speed different.....
Tweaks2k2net
Thanks Clustered.
I've downloaded the trial. What settings worked best for you?
Under Video, I tick the Speed Up Display.
Thanks the display is quicker...
Thanks for the tip...
The display is quicker.
It seems overkill to go for Tweaks2K2 but just for one display fix, and the Date/time on the bar (I love it!) so is there anything else you might recommend?
Thanks
just try yourself....maybe you will like others.....
Ok.
Appreciate your help.
I removed O2 Active and the XDA2i is about 10 times quicker and more reliable now.
This is how I removed O2 active:
1) Use file explorer to navigate to: my device>windows>startup.
2) Move the file called connections to another folder.
3) Navigate to: my device>windows>fonts.
4) Rename the "xpdr_02" file to "xpdr_021".
5) Soft reset your phone.
6) Go to: Settings>system>remove programs.
7) Uninstall O2 active. You may get a message saying that certain dll files are in use in windows directory- simply use file explorer to rename these files and try again. Rename them back afterwards.
8) Use file explorer to navigate to: my device>windows>fonts.
9) Rename the "xpdr_021" file back to "xpdr_02".
10) Navigate to: my device>windows>mobile solutions.
11) Cut and paste this folder to your built in storage
12) Soft reset the phone.
Thanks Hedley!
Hedley,
:?:
I just thought of a question re your unistall procedure.
After unistall, can you change 'profile' in order not to cause problems on aircraft?
In Active, I quite liked the simplicity of the email setup. I suppose once it's installed it is not neccessary, but did you find / is there anything else likely to be needed after removing?
Thanks
It is definately Faster!!
I am impressed with this one, my XDAIIi is definately a lot faster!
Cheers for that! :lol:

Hi Hedley,
:?:
I'm thinking about what you describe, maybe migfht trial it over Christmas... but once Active is uninstalled can you tell me how I might cope with Airplane travel?
i.e. can you turn off the 'airplane' parts? because obviously just shutting down the XDA leves it actively listening.#
Thanks
"Flight" mode
You can enable flight mode (turn off mobile receiver) by tapping the reception icon on the top bar. In the bubble that appears, there is a link to "Turn on flight mode" / "Turn off flight mode"
The piece of software I really miss in the O2 active is the "profile" stuff, which unless I'm blind isn't in the 2003 OS. For example: normal, work, silent, noisy etc
I wouldn't manually uninstall the Active rubbish - do a corporate install instead. If you have to manually delete locked files etc etc you're asking for trouble later.
Thanks MMM
Thanks for the information and tips.
What is a corporate install - I am not familar with the term.

Goto Start->Settings->Today->Items and uncheck the ones O2 puts on there (can't think off hand which ones they are!) this stops the dll in use messages.

The only problem with the corporate install I found, was it didn't setup the O2 GPRS and MMS settings before finishing device setup, I had a pain setting them up manually, and when I finally managed it, they didn't work 100% (or maybe it was i didn't trust my work 100%!)
You can invoke a corporate install by selecting it when it asks if you are a personal or corporate user. it'll ask you for a password, which is 0506 if memory serves me correct.
Hi there sorry if this is the wrong section, but I was hoping Pug would be able to tell me how to upgrade my ROM, etc because I'am still using the original.
Also could someone be so kind as to list a tap by tap guide to setting up my XDA IIi to connect to O2 Active, and Mobile Web, as I have a pay as you go SIM card in the XDA IIi?
Thanks alot peeps.

Hi, There is plenty in the Alpine sections about upgrading to the various ROM sections, just have a look or search. You will find the files here, ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Alpine/
You can see what PUG ROM version I use, which I have found to be very good.
Sometime ago I uploaded all the cab files for your Carrier Settings, just copy cab to XDA IIi and tap to run, after the cab has installed the settings, it will delete itself, so make sure you keep a copy for future use.

The latest PUG upgrade is here, ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Alpine/O2_Roms__Camera_Fixed_Pug
There are 2 files here, one has all the unneccessary 02 software outstripped and the other with all the 02 software included.
Once downloaded, extract to a folder on your desktop (or anywhere on your PC). Make sure your PDA is connected via the cradle and Activesync. Goto the folder you have extracted the files to on your PC, click to run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe, just click OK, then you should see a message saying it is checking your Device, your devices screen should go blank (Although you will see some dark text including the word Serial on your PDA)
You should then get a screen saying what ROM version you have and the New version, press ok then a screen will pop up saying checking device, the common thing to happen here is it will stop in this screen, what 5 mins if it doesn't change then don't touch your PDA, CTRL-Alt-DEL on your PC keyboard to bring up Task Manager, select the Process Tab and look for the file name MaUpgradeUt_noID, highlight it with one click and then press End Process button, go back to the folder and run MaUpgradeUt_noID again follow the screen instructions again and then it will update this time, indicated by a install bar screen, it will take about 20mins to complete.
Once updated remove your PDA from its cradle and hold the Power Button down and at the same time press the softreset hole with your Stylus, this will Hard Reset (Factory Settings) your device, depending on the version you have installed follow instructions on the PDA, it will install some more files which take 5 to 10 mins to install. Thats it you device is now updated.
For your carrier settings goto http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=26463, there you will find the CAB files for your Phone Carrier (remember there is a file for PAYT and Contract for each Carrier, download the correct one for you), download the correct one for you and copy to your PDA, tap to run and your correct MMS/GPRS/WAP settings are then installed. Very Happy
**Please Note before you update your PDA. Please copy anything you want to keep on your PDA to your PC, don't worry about SD storage or the other Perminent Storage area as the update leaves these untouched. If you want to save your Contacts and or your Appointments and Tasks then goto Settings on your PDA select second Tab and then select Perminent Save, tick your selection and tap OK, then once you have carried out the update go back to Perminant Save and tick boxes you want restored and then tap OK, this function will dynamically keep your backup upto date, so you can use this anytime.
Phew, hope this helps.
I have tried all teh CAB files, and all the individual settings, to get full GPRS working on my O2 PAYT SIM.
After 2 emails to o2's technical department (which at least they answered within 24 hours) I was assured that the reason I couldnt connect is the APN whould be set to mobile.o2.co.uk - but that ONLY worked on contract plans.
They categorically stated that PAYT O2 ONLY features WAP GPRS, i.e. those small WAP-sites suited to mobile phones, and not the 'full deal' (ie web browsing, irc, MSN MEssenger etc)
...so, after a LONG time with O2 PAYT, I am now a Vodafone customer with a Vodafone PAYT SIM!
I can surf the web, join my irc channels, use MSN Messenger, the works, and they emailled me the correct settings the very same day I emailled them to ask for them too.

Hi,
just got an 2nd hand xda IIi earlier on today and seem somewhat shafted as i only have macs and no pcs, been looking arround for the last few hours to find some form of sync software which doesnt cost
can anyone tell me how to update the rom from a mac?
cheers
Ok,
so im guessing from spending hours searching the forums here last night unless im willing to buy pocketmac or missing sync there is nothing.
think i will use a virtual pc *sigh*
roll on the x86 mac hardware.
Mac OS is based on BSD. I believe there are scripts floating around here in perl that any decent *nix flavour should run. Perhaps some of these might be able to help you.
if you can run a Virtual PC with access to USB ports on the Mac, I'd reckon that would be the easiest (!) approach to adding Activesync for syncing files etc & installing any applications, as all of the pocket PC apps' installers are also windows-based.
Joe
had a long look for perl stuff and didnt find much so got virtual pc installed now. just got pugs rom on the xda and the speed has incresed (it doesn't feel as slugish anymore) wifi signal is a lot better, but i still seem to have BT issues, wonder if thats something to do with my headset though.. sounds like bad reception sometimes even though the phone is only in my coat pocket.

I wouldn't put a ROM designed for a Tornado SmartPhone on my Wizard...but that's just me. ;-)
What is it you'd like to accomplish?
oops
Holy ****, I just saw that... sorry, I'm really new at this...
Anyway, I have all the Wizard files from the xda ftp... I want to know what the latest and greatest ROM to use on my new 8125.
Something that has the push email support? Maybe something with updates similar to the one that the tornado got today? They can now send files by bluetooth from the file explorer, this is **** I was doing on my treo 650 a year ago!
By date alone, K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020710_ship_ExtRom seems to be the newest, should I use that one?
Now, i've superCID unlocked my phone, AND regularly unlocked it, is that all I need to switch to a new ROM?
Can someone point me to a post about backing up all the apps/customizations I've made to my stock setup?
Sorry, I swear I'm reading like crazy, but I could use a couple hints..
Thanks alot.

I must say you're quite brave for wanting to jump in without knowing a whole lot. But that's OK, I was where you are in the not too distant past.
A couple things - at this point it is impossible to get back to a totally stock version after you upgrade unless you have access to another stock 8125 or can get a raw ROM dump from someone to flash using a miniSD card. That said, you can quite easily get it back to a state that would look stock enough to allow you to return/exchange your device should you have any hardware problems.
If you've CID unlocked, you're ready to go. All you need to do is run the Imate or Qtek upgrade executable found on the xda ftp.
The Imate and Qtek ROMs are EXACTLY the same from an OS and radio perspective. The only difference is the customizations. In both cases you can skip the customization by doing a soft rest (stylus-in-the-hole) when the device gets to the screen alignment stuff after flashing.
When your device comes back from the soft reset, it will be a bone bare install of WM5. You will want to run a few cab files from the stock Cingular extended ROM, which is available in a zip file on the ftp. You can install every cab EXCEPT a file called gprsstall. It will kill your wifi. Every other cab is fine and will make your device look like a stock 8125. You can skip the 'good email' and 'get email' cabs too - they are for goodlink and express mail...don't know if you use those..
Anyway, take a deep breath and do it like this:
-plug in and establish activesync
-run either the Imate or Qtek installer
-when done, the device will restart and prompt you to align the screen..hit the reset button at this point and the device will reboot
-when the device comes back up, establish activesync
-explore your device using activesync and open or create a folder to put some files in
-copy the cabs you want to install from the cingular extended rom to the folder you have open on your device
-use file explorer on the device to select each cab file..it will install
-restart your device
-Enjoy.
Oh, both ROMs have Direct Push, so as long as your Exchange account has SP2 installed and push active, it will work quite nicely. Neither ROM has the ability to send files via bluetooth that I can find.
As for backing up your current customizations and stuff, what is it you want to try to save?
ok, I'm learning..
Wow, thanks for the helpful post, I hope to really get into this and contribute back to the forums.
Are the newer iMate and Qtek roms actually a newer version of WM5? I keep reading about this "MS Messaging & Security" upgrade that was supposed to have something to do with push email... is that included?
Aside from push email, what are the other significant improvements?
For the backup, I thought I read somewhere about backing up your current config on an miniSD card (i have 512mb), like the ROM and the apps etc, can that be done?
Any intermediary steps required to get push email going? I couldn't even find anything about exchange servers in the stock ROM, you can only add a POP3 or IMAP4 email account. Is it just a matter of adding a "new mail account" on this new ROM and point it at your exchange server?
Oh and finally, these "customizations" you said I can skip on the new ROMS, are those worth doing? Or do they just program in useless things?
EDIT
Hmm, ok, I was just looking at the Extended ROMS folder, duh, so these extended roms are bunches of little cabs that add customizations to a stock WM5? So looking in the ROMS folders... there's lots of files in each one. iMate for example has a WWE_216901_2169101...zip and a WWE_1010903_106...exe, what do the numbers signify, and which one should I be using?
Oh, and I could swear I saw some mention of Resco Explorer being in one of these extended roms, or somewhere on the FTP, is it?
I would strongly advise against doing this upgrade as it will re-simlock your phone back to Cingular and you won't be able to use it with Rogers. Further, lokiwiz has not been updated to support this new rom yet.
I know this is for a fact with the iMate rom, but I haven't seen anything conclusive about the Qtek rom. Noone here seems to know.
I'm in the same boat, I'm on Rogers with a 8125.
good advice
Thanks for the heads up. I'd like to use push email, I have the reins of our Exchange 2003 sp2 server here, so I can change any settings to make this happen. How do you even setup a non-push exchange server on the base cingular 8125 rom?
As a Canadian, have you done anything specific to your device to make things suitable for here? I know I installed GPRS monitor right away since our Rogers overlords don't have unlimited data plans (unless you count 100mb for an arm or leg every month), and I'm hovering at 7mb a month for $40... Damn I want unlimited...

As far as I know, the only way to set up a non-Exchange server is via wireless Active Sync or via IMAP. I haven't done anything provider specific to my 8125 as I don't use EDGE for the reasons you mentioned, just WiFi as it's available both at work and at home.
I'm really dying to install the Qtek rom as by all accounts these roms are infinitely better and faster than the stock Cingular rom. But I'm afraid it will lock my 8125.
Alright, thanks for the advice. Let me know once you do flash your device, and I'll do the same. I suppose we're just waiting for lokiwiz to be updated?
So far I really like the device, I just installed wifitunes and am streaming music from shared itunes libraries at work, and it's flawless!
There's a great post in the Wizard forum that details how to create a miniSD backup of your stock rom. The above poster is correct in that this is the only way to fully return your device to its stock state. The process is simple and you are only out the price of a 128mb miniSD.
Do this backup then upgrade with impunity! Let us know if its still SIM unlocked too. Remember that if it isn't, a 40 second restore will return your device to its original condition. This will work even if the updater fails and "bricks" your wizard. However, I am not sure if the restore process restores the original bootloader, so the "HTC" splash screen might not be removed. I have tried the restore, but not with a Qtek upgraded device.
I have not found any threads regarding this so I went ahead and bit the bullet and tried on my GoodLink server. Initially disappointed because my server was setup to send the last ver 4 GoodLink software to the Kaiser. After upgrading then to ver 5 the phone portion of the device would not work no matter what I did. GoodLink seemed to work but the phone wouldn't. I then uninstalled GoodLink via the remove programs (now GoodLink does not require hard reset to get rid of it).
I waited 24 hours (chicken). I then made sure that ver 5 was pushed to the device initially - viola - seems to work great now after 24 hours. No slowing of the device as was the case with other lesser devices (memory and processor speed!).
So far I believe that for those who want GoodLink and PPC the Kaiser may be the best device so far! I'll keep you updated as to any glitches that come up. I fully recognize that with some of the improvements to Pocket Outlook and with always on active sync GoodLink is not as needed as it was before but there are still some "closer to desktop Outlook" advantages for business users.

So - I binned Goodlink some time ago on the Co HP device and opted for a phone the performance was so bad. Based on your recommendation I might try it again. Where can I get the latest CAB? Will my old account registration work on the TyTN - or do I have to go back to the IS dept for another "key" to get setup?
Thx
Graham
The IT dept has to enable the version 5 for your device. In my case I have my own GoodLink server and I tried to install via a cab file and it didn't work for some reason. So I went back to the OTA setup. Just call the IT dept and ask them to enable the version 5 for your device (that is assuming they have upgraded their server yet) and resend you a PIN email. It is three or four mouse clicks so don't let them act like it is much trouble!
If you don't get ver 5 right off the bat then uninstall it don;t go any further because it didn;t work for me to "upgrade" ver 4 to 5!
how much better is it than 4.93? i find it a little buggy and i still need to activesync my calendar and contacts for other Hpone related items.
Goodlink
Goodlink 4.9.3.21 works like a charm, syncs mail, calendar, notes, tasks, the works and it's fast too. Not sure why yours would be 'buggy'; mine works like a charm without failure.
My $0.02

There are definitely some improvements with ver 5 -- one thing to know (I have another post somewhere else) is that you need to prepare for the fact that there is integration with the native contact list and GoodLink. In other words if you still use Active Sync (like via a server) you will get duplicate contacts. The IT person for the GoodLink server has a setting to choose what parts of you contact list will get sync'd with the native contact list for "use with voice dialing" etc (as per GoodLink's literature), i.e, Last, First, work, home, fax, email. Once you figure out what is going on it is actually better because the native contact list takes up less space because you can pick and choose (the IT GoodLink admin guy) what is sync'd.
All the while the GoodLink Calendar list , of course, gets fully sync's as it is designed to do.
[Interestingly with vers 5 server and ver 5 on the device the GoodLink admin person can actually "dis-allow" the use of any particular application on your device. Every program you have on your device shows up on the GoodLink Mangemenet Console. It's pretty cool -- that is if you have access to the server!!!]
If you have question just ask and I'll try to answer them since I have my own server
PS as far as the duplicate contact thing you need to use PPContactsMgr and delete ALL of your native contacts, then tell active sync NOT to sync contacts and then let GoodLink do its thing as far as syncing the selected fields of you native contact list.
PSS I really like using GoodLink so far -- with it's limited syncing of the native contacts list which then work NICELY with PocketCM to make calls text msgs etc
A bunch of GOOKS...

...it's justification why good Quality Control is important !!
i dont have access to the server. so that means my IT can see ALL the apps that areon my device and control what I can / cannot use?

Iten I was browsing sure does. I was really surprised when I was browsing my new management console for ver 5 and click on a tab that took a minute or two to respond (I didn't know at the time but it was retrieving from my device) and then showed my applications on my device and gave options for which to allow and which to disallow!!
I didn't want to mess anything up so I didn't experiment.

That's pretty funny. I can think of a lot of potentially offensive comments about the advertisement but I will use better judgement ............

I tried the OTA setup and it gave me version 6(!).. Needless to say my old PIN wasn't valid - and the IT dept wouldn't enable it for me. They said "can't use none approved devices on Company networks".. so I can't use my TyTNII with Goodlink. I think the PIN was for v5.. but I don't see how to get the v5 CAB
?

#BUGS

None
Great work! Now for some feedback..
It was a little confusing with the YES and NO responses.. I assumed all the good stuff was in the voxmobili folder, so I copied that over to my Windows folder and hit Yes to All to copy the entire directory. So far so good. Launched the program. Everything goes ok, until the very end where I get a Synchronization not successful with the error "Authentication failed."
Soo.. the question is, was there anything in the folder that serves to authenticate my number? I wouldn't think so. But that's what happened to me. Any thoughts?
I'm not aware of any authentication process.
First, are you using ND4SPD's 1.0 Developer's rom?
Second, what are your GPRS settinsg for T-Mobile Data and T-Mobile MMS. Are you using a proxy of any kind? If so, how is it setup?
Third, check if Data Connection is enabled.
-----------------------
Regarding the Yes and No part. The 6.1 rom has its own stock voxmobili folder. While the T-Mobile 6.0 has its own, plus the t-mobile address book application, graphics and dll's. I didn't want you to overwrite any of the files from 6.1 since they might possibly be newest then the ones from the older rom. That's why I asked you not to overwrite files already on your device.
Hey it worked! From my last post to this one, I did precisely three things - try to synchronize three more times. Two times it gave me the error, and on the third try it went right through. So the problem was on T-Mobile's side.
So even a Yes to All and overwriting all the files in my directory worked.
I am using the 4.1 beta ROM.
Hey,
Well I'm happy that it worked. Copying the older files isn't problamatic. I'm just not sure if their is a difference between the newer ones and the older ones. Wi'll find out soon. Anyways, it won't matter after I clean up the archive. Now I have to figure oout how to make a cab file.
Hmm...Any updates for this?
I really don't want to mess up my phone by using this.

What "update" are you looking for? All the information you need is right here in the posts.
You won't screw up your phone at all. The app works perfectly fine. I promised to release the final version, but I just haven't had time. Maybe today I'll release an uninstallable version.
Look on top for final release.
Hey man, I tried it and it seems to be not working.
I got the 19.99 T-Mo internet...and well I don't have the T-Mobile Data.
I just have T-Mo WEB for internet and I belive thats the issue.
My internet works and all, I'm Palringo, I can access google maps.
Whenever I try to sync my contacts to my phone it sends me a text message.
can this work for the wing
Man, I would love to use this app, but I have no idea how to make it work with the 19.99 plan.
Same here . ..

What does the text message say? Can you sync at all?
I no longer get the text message, but I still cannot sync. I get a Communication error every time I try to sync it. I have unlimited internet plan and can browse the web just fine. I do not understand why it doesn't work. Any suggestions?
