Luckily, I didn't buy the backpack that I planned to buy soon.

That means I've better to use my notebook to do presentation.

Thanks guys for your comments.

The presentation software that comes with the backPack is fantastic. Do not confuse it with Screen Mirror which is the apllication that simply projects your entire PDA screen. Screen Mirror is certainly handy for training in PDA software applications but not used for powerpoint presentations.

One feature the BackPack presentation software has that the laptop does not is the ability to project only the presentation slides (via the lcd projector) but display both the speakers notes and the presentation slides on the screen of the PPC. I find this very handy as I use the speakers notes for questions and answers as part of my test for understanding slides.

I guess "Chris" and most users (including me) are looking for Powerpoint presentations, if you only need the BackPack for presentation, it will not help at all!! unless you need it to use CF Card!, then it might be useflul to have it, and as you "Ed" mentioned, to make a presentation about xda, to project the data, then yes, it is good to have as well.

Note that Windows 2003SE (2nd Edition) has good features that will help in presentations! (the Landscape View and 640X480 resolution)! I am waiting for it to update my imate and then try BackPack for presentation once again!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] ednap:
Sorry GoldenSands I don't understand :oops:

I think the backPack works great for powerpoint presentations, that's the main thing I use it for. I have the presentations saved either on an SD card or a CF if I have to take a lot of large files. But even from the SD or main memory the presentation software works a treat. The backpacks battery is smaller but it does prolong battery life and that is a bonus too. Without the BackPack I cannot use my XDA II for presentations.

What do you mean

Sorry not trying to be silly I just miss your point.

Ed
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] GoldenSands:
Dear Ed, may be I did not express my thoughts very well. When I did a presentation using the backpack, I had the following problems:

1- Imate is slow.

2- Presnetation is in portrate, not in landscape (as normal Power Point presentation).

3- Small size (small resolution) not in 640X480.

4- If I use Stretch Option (to get large projection), then quality is poor.

Now, taking above points into consideration, presentaion done through backpack is not powerful and I can not do any presentaion, although I need it badly, I do about 3 to 4 presentaions a week!

That's what I meant by buying it for presentaions (to do Powerpoint ones) will not help since I have to design the Powerpoint presentation in certain size to fit the backpack limitations.

My questions:

1- Are you able to make the presentaion in Landscape?

2- Were you able to use 640X480 resolution?

3- How fast is your imate or xda2 when you use Speed Mirror?

4- What is the version of Speed Mirror you have? (mine is Ver 2.01)

5- In VGA Refresh Settings, do you set it to be "PIM, Word, Database"? or something else?

Regarding the battery, I agree with you, it is a small added value component (600 mAm) only, but it is good to have any way.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] ednap:
OK, seems like you do things different than me.

Firstly I do not use ScreenMirror for presentations, I use ClearVue Presentation Suite v2.3.377 which came on the CD with my backpack.

Presentations work at "normal" speed with transition effects etc. And as I said earlier I do like ability to see the speakers notes on my XDA II but only project the slides to the LCD projector.

Next in answer to your questions above.

Q1. Yes (Using ClearVue)

Q2, Yes (Using ClearVue), 640 x 480 x 64k @ 85Hz or 800 x 600 x 64K @ 60Hz

Q3. As I said I do not use SpeedMirror for presentations. By the way, my Mirror application is called ScreenMirror v2.01, NOT SpeedMirror, are they different? Anyway, when I use ScreenMirror yes it can be slow but is OK for how to teach using PPC applications etc and it only operates in Portrait. I do not use it for power point slide shows.

Q4. When I use it, and that is not often, I usually have it on PIM, Word, Database. For example It has been OK on how to teach people to use SpriteBackupPremium at a PPC user group meeting. No need for landscape as it is an application to Mirror the PPC screen, that is it only projects the PPC exactly as it looks in on your hand unit. That is why it is good for teaching how to use the PPC applications.

Hope this helps.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] GoldenSands:
Dear Ed,

Yep, I guess I was totally not aware about making the presentation through the ClearVue PPT directly (without using the Screen Mirror)!

I went to "Setup" / "Preferences" in ClearVue, then was surprised about the option that allows me to use External Video Adaptor! That was the reason; I was using Screen Mirror (not Speed Mirror).

Thanks for your advice, that's the benefit of this forum, we learn from each other. However, I need a little advice from you, when I choose to use the "External Video Adaptor" in ClearVue, using VGA as an Output. Then try to open a presentation, an error message appears saying "Another Presentation viewer is running, please close the other viewer and try again". While there is nothing else is running. I have even re-installed the VGA Package!

Well, one time after several trials, I got different message: "The External display is in use by another application. Would you like to continue to use the external display?" whatever I chose, nothing appears in the screen.

Note that I am making all these tests using the Monitor, not the projector, do you think this make a different?

Yep, it helped a lot. Please let me know if you had experienced such problems with the imate and BackPack.

Thank you..
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] ednap:
Well I'm glad my coments helped and we are both talking the same language now :D

I just tried using ClearVue and the backpack connected to my PC monitor rather than my LCD projector and it still worked fine for me. No errors like you mention in your post. :cry: So what you are doing should work.

I presume you tried performing a softreset with backpack and monitor connected, then before starting any other applications load clearvue, open your presentation file, then tap on the slideshow icon?

Not sure what else to suggest but please post your results.

BTW, where abouts in Saudi are you? (from your flag) I worked there for a couple of years about 7 years ago. I was in Al Jubail but managed to explore the entire country including the empty quarter. Had a great time and still have some friends there.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] GoldenSands:
I was away for a short business trip. However, I was trying to do more tests and more research. I still get the same error, but what surprised me more today, even if I try to open any presentation using ClearVeu (selecting the option of using External VGA) while the BackPack is not attached; I still get the same error. I also connected the imate to my projector, it works OK with Screen Mirror, but never worked with the ClearVue. I did a lot of trials and restarts.

I also did a little research, and I found this useful link. But I guess I am alone getting this error!!

http://www.ppcw.net/index.php?itemid=1916

Remaining one more test to do, I will use the imate of my brother-in-low, I am going to install the Screen Mirror Software along with ClearVue (of course) and will try to run a presentation, lets see what error we get! hope it works, if so, it means then my imate (or Windows) might have a problem since BackPack works OK.

By the way, what Rom version are you using, is it 1.72 or 1.66?

That's nice, Juabial is not far from where do I live. I live now in Dhahran (almost 100Km away from Jubail). I have not been in Empty quarter or even a lot of places, except major cities in Kingdom!!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] ednap:
I'm using the 1.66 ROM , standard rom from when I purchased the unit. I have been happy with it so did not upgrade to another.

I'm surprised with your error and I do hope you can get it sorted out as the ClearVue really is fantastic software.

Ed
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] GoldenSands:
Mmmm, you gave me a good hint again! I will test ClearVue with BackPack and try to make a presentation on 2 imates, one with 1.72 ROM and another one with 1.66 ROM. If it worked, then will see away to downgrade mine to 1.66!! I will try to do this test ASAP. Thanks a lot dear.

Bug in ClearVue

I'm having the same bug with ClearVue with the message "another presentation viewer is running, ...".

I visited the Westtek website and found that there's an updated release of the software. They want money for the update.

I think that the whole thing is offensive. Selling an untested application is offensive, asking for more money to fix it is offensive. I wish I could throw the product back in the face of the Dubai Duty Free employee.

BTW, no one should downgrade their ROM to get one crappy application to function.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] findus:
Just wondered if you guys had seen this page, on O2 site for a ClearVue update for 1.72

http://www.sourceo2.com/O2_Developers/Devices/O2_Xda_II/VGA_Backpack.htm

I don't have a backpack, so I can't test it but it might solve your problems!

Bug in ClearVue and the Expansion Pack

I'll keep you posted on their reply.

Replies regarding the Presentation Viewer Bug

Club i-Mate:

Thank you for writing in, I personally tested the i-mate back pack with version 1.72 and did not come up with any error messages.

Westtek:

I have not been able to reproduce the problem. Please try the following and let me know at what step you get the error message.

1. Soft reset your device

2. Open ClearVue Presentation

3. Open a Presentation file

4. Run a Slide Show on your pocket PC (without configuring external video)

5. Exit the Slide Show and exit ClearVue Presentation.

6. Plug in the backpack and open ClearVue Presentation

7. Open a Presentation file

8. Configure the External Video Adapter in ClearVue Presentation (do not open the mirror software)

9. Run a slide show

I tried the steps and the problem is still there.

Now I'm out of ways to get help and being in the Middle East, there's no way I can get my money back (no one protects consumers here).

Update to Back Pack Driver

After having denied that they had a problem with the dirver, Club i-mate have posted an update:

http://www.clubimate.com/Support/BackpackDriver.sa.CAB

They never bothered themseleves to reply to my emails, I found the update by chance.

If the above fix doesn't solve the back pack problem, try hard resetting. Hard reseting worked for me even without the updated driver.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeDesireS:
Yes you can just flash with flashtool to downgrade and if you dont wipe anything,

your phone will be as before just with .434.

But for me the downgrade ended in a NFC update problem that causes the phone to reboot the whole time!

Therefore I am stuck at .253 without root! :mad:

To find things requires you to actually search, if you're too lazy to do that then read the stickys where you'll usually find them, but if you're too lazy to even do that, wait for a spoon feeder to come along and help, as they have done. ;)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demon2112:

Doest the 434 ftf flash the old nfc firmware and the 253 firmware whants to install on top of thr 434 and they wont play nice with eachother?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeDesireS:
No, the problem is, that the .434 want`s to update nfc and then reboots.

I don`t know why but the problem then is, that I am unable to do anything with .434.

I could not install root or recovery and go on with the procedure.

If I could do a titanium backup, I would try with a full wipe but so I have to setup everything new without TB... but not now!

Hopefully someone find`s another solution for rooting the next days! :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:

That's what I did, just make a backup to reflash after you're done testing.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeDesireS:

Can some body tell me what is the different between branded and unbranded? As fare as i understand! Branded phones are with lot of bloatware or some, from the carrier and unbranded is without this stuff.

No SIMlock and bootloader unlock Allowed yes

[Xperia Z General] Apollo89:
'Lot of bloatware' is a bit exaggerated. Some operators just include an app to check your usage/balance. Sometimes you see their logo at startup. It all depends on the operator. Also, not all branded phones have a SIM lock.

That '1269-5309' is the same for all C6603 I think. You have to look at your 'Customization version' in your service menu.
