First feedback from the installation of mNotes 4.1:

The installer did work, but the SW-Piece for the Device did not go past my Desktop-FW (Symantec). The FW is controlled by our IT centrally. Coudn't change it. Workaroud: I put the two files

mNotesPPC25karmv4i.cab

mNotesPPC2k5.ini

on the device manually (a self-created directory under programs), clicked on the CAB file, and it installed and worked ok then.

Two problems i still have:

(1)

I have a rather large Address-Book, to do-list and Calendar. The Address-Book contains for example about 4.500 entries. That caused big problems during the first-time sync. Took 5 Hours. After that the program memory and the data memory was completely full. I had to cut the address book down by half to get it all through. With that it seems to work OK for now.

(2)

A funny sync-problem i came accross: Notes 6 Calendar "Meetings" that have no invitees, are not synchronized down to the device. "Appointments" do synchcronize.

In summary: I don't understand what has changed from the previous mNotes version, which worked flawless on the Blue Angel: I could sync the whole Addressbook with no problem and hat no trouble with appointments that did not sync.

I did my 1st sync with Notes 7 and WM5 on my i-mate SP5. A big issue for me is that mNotes appears to not send data in Notes Contacts under Briefcase/Comments. Not sure if this is a WM5 for Smartphone issue or an mNotes issue. I have reported it to Commontime and am waiting for a response.

Has anyone else seen this in either PocketPC or Smartphone WM5 syncs?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] backermann:
There has already been a bug fix update...

...which, among other things, fixes the Notes 7 / Comments problem. Follow the directions here carefully, the 'upgrade' process is a bit clunky, but I suppose is necessary to make sure you don't duplicate everything. I did it last night, seems to work fine.

The upgrade info is in the next to last entry in this thread:

Alternatively...

Alternatively, there is a free way to link to notes:

You can use Outlook with Microsoft's Outlook Domino Connector. It lets you read your Lotus Notes mail and calendar in Outlook, and works with Activesync no problems.

You can download it at:

Important:

FYI: There is a bug in the O2 XDA Exec ROM version that causes omportant memory leaks when synchronizing with Lotus Notes through mNotes. This is a bug in the O2 XDA Exec rom and not in mNotes. I have crossgraded my Exec to the Jasjar rom (slightly newer) and the problem was gone. Reverting to the Exec rom brought back the problem again.

PS I too have been using the Outlook Domino connector, and must say it is b******s .... It is flaky, crashes a lot, and has calendar incompatibilities, not to mention the fact that you won't be able to access any other Notes databases.

Has a new CAB file been privately posted for WM5 and Smartphone? The one from yesterday does not replicate comments. I believe there is a new one that does.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jofeuerstein:
Hi all

i received this by E-Mail from commontime. Maybe that helps.

################

We have identified and fixed some issues in the Windows Mobile 5 version of

the mNotes/mSuite client software (see bug list below).

If you have already downloaded either the Windows Mobile 5 mNotes /mSuite

(version 4.1.805) CAB file(s) and/or any of the mNotes version 4.1

installers, please download them again.

IMPORTANT: If you have already installed mNotes or mSuite on any WM5

device(s), you should upgrade them with this latest version as soon as

possible. However, before installing this version, you MUST do a Reset of

all the replicators in mCenter on the PDA (Calendar, Contacts, Mail. Tasks

etc.). This will remove all mail and PIM data from the device. It will be

reloaded from Lotus Notes after the upgrade.

Failure to do this will result in all data on the PDA being seen as

"modified" and being sent back to Notes and this could have highly

undesirable effects - especially on the Calendar.

To perform the Resets, go to the mCenter application, tap and hold on the

first replicator in the list then tap Reset and tap OK on the warning

message. Repeat this for all replicators in the list.

Remember to do the Resets immediately BEFORE installing the new version

and do not perform any further replications until you have installed the

new version onto the PDA.

########

Installing it now. I'll let you know it it works.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jofeuerstein:
Ok, the sync worked well. However, the problems mentioned above weren't resolved.

(1) it does not sync Meetings that have no invitees (from Notes 6.5)

(2) It syncs incredibly slow when 4000 addresses are involved. I.e. during the sync process it eats up all program memory and then stops. Needed to reset 3-4 times to get 2500 adresses synced ... didn't have taht problem on my old Blue Angel.

Also, i don't know why the whole Universal becomes so slow (essentially unusable) during the sync process. That also wasn't the case with my old BlueAngel.

Anbody with similar experience ?

Install mNotes 4.1 woes

I'm new here, so please excuse my ignorance. I've just installed mNotes 4.1 from the link above.

While I believe I was able to complete the install, I do not know how to configure the app so that I can point it to the correct nsf file. All I can select is the executable and the notes.ini files.

I'm not electing to sync my mail just yet, but I do want to test a sync with my calendar and contacts list.

Can anyone help.... PLEASE?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Wiz:
It configures itself automatically based on the info in your notes.ini file.

The only thing you need to do after installation is before you start the first sync to launch MCenter on your PDA and de-select mail (or anything that you do not wish to sync) by tap&hold and de-select "replicate"

Syncing with Smartphone Edition of WM5

It looks like some of you have had some success syncing with an i-mate SP5 with Lotus Notes. It still isn't working for me - the first attempt with Commontime ended up with them realising it was only compatible with the PocketPC edition, not the Smartphone Edition. This morning have been reassured that the latest version is fine with both, yet the install remains unsuccessful. Any tips out there?

Back in the day when I used to have a Compaq iPAQ and had the misfortune to work for a company that used Lotus for it's email... the only software which I ever got to reliably work time and again for syncying was Lotus EasySync Pro - had to buy it myself cos company was too stingy to cough up for it but certainly did the trick.

Looking at the requirements for the current version looks like it supports everything we have:

http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=465&uid=swg27011318

I guess people wont use it cos it costs money but it certainly was reliable the last time I used it (approx 4 years ago though).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sunny1966:
thx again :) ... in our company we are using inotes 8 and actually mnotes 4 ...

had contact with our own it support ... but no one knows (at the moment) ... why active sync didn´t work at my laptop with xp and connected to the company network ...

but it worked before the rom update ...

but other things didn´t worked so good before the update

I had a problem with activesync & had to change the sync type with ActiveSyncMode.sa.cab. (found at lots of places on the web). If you install this you can then change the sync type back to usb serial from the RNDIS that thew latest active tries to use. It has worked for me a few times.

Lotus Notes EasySync Pro and WM 6.1

Hi,

I have HTC Tytn II and I did upgrade to WM 6.1

I used Easysync Pro 4.2.5 to sync my Lotus Notes. It works fine with WM6.0 and Active Sync 4.5

After the upgrade it doesnt work....what a surprise :-)

I did upgrade of Lotus Easysync to 4.2.6 (1033) but it still doesn't work. I got th error "Unable to connect to device. Verify that ActiveSync is running".

Active sync is running and I can access my HTC.

Anyone have the same problem?

Is there a fix?

Thanks...

1.) There is no "best 4.3 ROM". What is the best for someone else might not be the best for you. It all boils down to personal preference. You just need to shop around to see what will work best for you.

2.) You really need to read, read more, read a lot more, study, and learn about the flashing process before going forth with it. I'm sure you don't want to ruin you expensive device.

3.) There are a ton of threads with this information that you need to know. So just slow down a little and do a lot of #2 of my post and you will get what you're looking for. ;)

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] 7.3PowerstrokeTurboDiesel:
So, some people have been able to get amazing battery life out of the One, but others have had fairly major heat buildup and short battery life issues. I have also seen some posts about lag issues.

I'm deciding between this phone and the LG G2, which I have heard also has battery issues. I currently have an HTC One X+, and the battery, lag, and heat buildup are pretty bad. Battery life sucks without power saver mode, but the phone is laggy with it on, so I'm cautious about getting another HTC device. I love the build quality and developer support though.

What I want to know is, are most people having good experiences with the battery/heat buildup of the One? Have you experienced consistent lag or unreasonable battery drain? Thanks for your responses.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] fitchpuckman:
I've had both the AT&T One x and One, and never had issues with lag or battery life on either. I'm sure one person's 'lag' is another person's 'silky smooth', but after the project butter improvements in ICS, I must say i'v ebeen extremely impressed with how the One x then, and now, the One have performed. I also manage a full day easily out of the One's battery. Today, for example, a very average day of usage, I have so far had the phone unplugged for 14:01, had 1:56 of screen on time, and listened to about 90 minutes of Spotify streaming via cell (can't use wifi at the office). I have 46% of my batter life left, and, according to GSam, I've got about 12hrs of battery left, on average.

yesterday, i plugged my phone in after 16 hours since full charge when I woke up. pretty much same type of usage as today, except yesterday i streamed about 3 hours of Spotify over cell and i was at 31% when I went to bed.

this all includes exchanging about 45-40 texts throughout the day and typical facebooking and, most importantly, actually using BlinkFeed, as well as Feedly, for about a total of 20-25 mins throughout the day.

all of this aside, there is already a TON of this info available on xda if you do a simple search. you should feel fortunate that you got a response out of one of us!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] 7.3PowerstrokeTurboDiesel:
Thanks for the reply. It's pretty much exactly what I was looking for. I know there is other stuff on XDA about this, but I couldn't seem to find posts where people explained their thoughts. Most just said, "My One did/didn't lag and had awesome/horrible battery life." Again, thanks for the response. I think I'm going to go with the One.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] fitchpuckman:
no problem, happy to help. just wanted to throw in the friendly reminder :). have a search for the battery life and/or battery stats threads. they typically have tons of screenshots of battery life, which you can peer through to get a sense of the life people are getting and how they are getting it. those threads also tend to breed good conversations on settings tweaks people use to maximize battery life or reduce heat issues (if they present themselves).

for what it's worth, i run bone stock b/c my One is a work phone. I also forgot to mention a key factor in that I keep my screen brightness to around 30% (which is plenty bright for this phone) and have it set to timeout at 30 seconds.

I also once read a very interesting article regarding this phone employing up to 3 different LCD panel 'models' which all displayed ever-so-slightly different contrast ratios and brightness levels, which could potentially turn different results for different users. no idea where i saw that at, but it was freakishly detailed. i'm pretty sure it was linked somewhere on these boards, perhaps in the international One boards, too. anyway, interesting read if you're into that kind of thing.

get the one. the fact that 4.3 has been all but guaranteed to arrive OTA soon is wonderful. not to mention it's a beautiful piece of hardware and the boomsound speakers are light years better than anything else available. i can actually stand to listen to music/podcasts/sports broadcasts without. I thought i'd never use them but i find myself using them a lot now. especially handy for speakerphone calls in a car.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sebring5:
In the past:

processors were minimal (custom kernels and overclocking with CM helped fill in the gaps)

bloatware choked performance due to lack of space (CM eliminated bloatware)

GUI's were clunky and unintuitive (simplicity of CM, i.e. basic Android, was a necessity)

manufacturers added no value with their launchers and modifications (CM eliminated the manufacturer's oft ill conceived changes)

software updates lagged far behind Google updates.

And now:

processors work as is

space is plentiful, bloatware is not an issue

GUI's actually work

manufacturers are adding functionality

software updates are more current with Google changes.

So, I have to ask, what does CM bring to the table? When I put it on the Note 2, CM eliminated functionality without adding any improvements. I can't see where it would add anything to the Sony Xperia Ultra. I can see how it would take functionality away just like it did with the Note 2.

CM has redefined itself as an operating system. Its goal is to be the operating system for hardware manufacturers just like Android and Apple. Smart move. The CM we knew is no longer needed. Out of the box Samsung, HTC and Sony premium smart phones actually perform well, are being updated on a regular basis and have manufacturer added value. We have to think of CM as being the OEM operating system, not a replacement for Sony, Samsung and HTC Android operating systems.

CM is adding an app to the play store that will make it easy to install CM to devices. I see that as an acknowledgement to where it came from, not a step to its future. It will not be long before we buy Samsung, Sony and HTC phones with CM as the operating system.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:
I love Cyanogen. And is my point why I love android.

But unfortunately they trying to support many devices and they lose quality.

I remember how we was happy with G1 to see crazy benchmarking with Cyanogen., now it's lower than stock :P They said Sony is very friendly with the developers (source etc) but I remember Cyanogen on Xperia Z....it was bad experience I ever taste. And then it was a scandal with Samsung. They promise to stop supporting...... but as you see cyanogen is more business now than love.

And I know many developers who got same opinion as me.

But we still love them and we will love them.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
While I agree with a lot of what you say... the note2 was very different. any device that has another piece of hardware that you use with it for a purpose, then CM wont work 'stand alone'. Samsung's note applications were great and thats where CM was left standing and waiting....

With the Ultra, it doesn't have any specific apps that take advantage of the 'sketch' application. There are loads that do the same, and even better on the playstore.

I can see CM being a clean neat feel. However it will need to be cleaner and smoother than the xperia UI for it to be a real advantage to flash.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] AntiLazarus:
I don't know, I prefer AOSP, so even if there's nothing else offered by CM, I'd still rather run it than Sony's ROM (not that this phone has a bad ROM; in fact, I've been surprisingly happy with it out of the box).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I'm not a fan of any manufacturer skin out there, so CM is what i flash when i want a "pure" and light ROM. It's all about looks and feel for me, and since CM is a barebone experience, i can make it my own from scratch. I have a Galaxy Note, and i've used CM on it for the past 15 months. I quickly noticed that i didn't use any of Samsung's bloatware or any other Samsung features, so why should i have to deal with it? Why should i let that crap run in the background? I'd rather just flash something that's completely "naked" from the start, and install and modify the things I WANT and need, not what Samsung want, or Sony, or HTC etc.

Granted, Sony isn't that bad when it comes to their custom skin. It's pretty light, and they haven't given Disco Stu a job as a UI designer (cough, Samsung), so i guess i'll keep my Ultra (soon to arrive) pretty stock in the beginning, and just install Nova when i've had enough of Sony's launcher. When i'm sick and tired of the whole Sony experience, i'll move on to CM.

CM of the past is gone?

i agree, because its moving to the future... cyanogenmod inc. ftw!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
I do understand what the OP trying to say about the past. Because we needed so much modification to the software to make the phone run smoothly, and Android was very fragmented when it came to finding apps for your purpose. I had the HTC Desire PVT4, and my dad PVT1 with S-OFF and it was so much fun! This was when Android and the community was at it's best!

But today Android is more stable, it runs more independent, It's a lot faster. BUT what I get from it is the clean look, the speed and stability.

And I get my chance to customize my phone to my taste. Not how SONY want it, or HTC want it or how Samsung want to brag about their animations and proprietary apps. If someone tries to make a phonecall from my device, they can't..because they are not familiar to the look of my device and that's a good thing because I have a taste. I don't want the guy on the bus sitting next to me or behing me to have the exact same UI and wallpaper as me!!
