I'm having great difficulty buying the fact that the wizard is slow.

I find mine very fast, I have been demonstrating games and runnings films in things like TCPMP, and it runs at full speed in good quality with no jerks. I have also compared the wizard to my dem x50v (624mhz) and in most programs there is no discernable difference.

The two things you should bare in mind are:

1. WM5 uses static memory which is slower. When i tested the universal I found the same pauses and fits and starts when opening, closing and switching between applications.

2. activesync 4.1 is full of bugs. 1 out of 4 times I use it, it locks up my wizard and i have to reset. reading other forums for wm devices, like aximsite, and you will see that it is an issue for all activesync 4.1 users and not restricted to the wizard.

In summary, i am waiting for activesync 4.2 with bated breath. In the meantime, if you use o2, using the basic setup is the best. There is not much you can do to make the device go faster, most of the hacks mentioned are a waste of time (pleceabo hacks) and it seems to run all my games fast enough (try the Anthelion 2 demo on pdamill.com if you don't believe me).

Where exactly did you select this? In activesync? I recall seeing an optiion there. I thought it only syncs the last two weeks (but after doing that for a year I assumed you'd have a full year in pda).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dave_logic:
I had big problems to start off with...After reading stuff on here, I hard reset the device, soft reset before the 02 sofware installed and now it runs about twice a fast (thats what it feels like anyway)...The only downside is having to set up GPRS manually, the loss of MMS and some other tools like SIM Tools I think.....I've set GPRS up ok but there is no MMS icon now available....either way....Its MUCH faster now...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] stegz:
Ok, I'm down to just pocketbreeze (still slow to flip) on my today screen, and IRDA off, and predictive text off, and it does seem a bit faster to be fair.

Now, is there any way to just sync, say, 6 months or 1 year of appointments in the future? As far as I can see you can only define how far "back" you can go.

Also, magic button isn't quite doing it for me - seems awkward to set ignores, and instead of hiding them they are still displayed (e.g. closing a number of windows takes me to the phone window which was not active to start with). Pocket Plus is too much bloat - so is wisbar advance. I just want a close button with a small memory footprint (pref. with a hardware button actionable ok/close) where I can designate what apps to "smart minimise". Any ideas?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] wilesd:
Don't soft reset after the hard reset. let the extended rom kick in and choose basic mode, then just remove the 2x O2 icons from the windows\startup folder. runs just the same but you have MMS as well.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Ineedtoys:
Try GSPocketMagic++. Combines customisable task manager with enhanced start menu but is still small and fast.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dave_logic:
I;ve tried that which works but you get a very anoying "You have installed in Basic mode, please reinstall using Personal mode....." error every time I boot up.....Anyway, as far as it goes so far the device is working 110% for the first time....I'll setup the GPRS manually and it that works - I;m happy..If it still doesn't - I'm still happier than before however, if I find no way to get the GPRS back I'll try the Basic install again...

I must note that SPD Pocket Plus and / or Wisbar etc really slow the whole thing down...I've decided to dump these and stay with the speed..
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] wilesd:
Try basic mode but with the O2 stuff removed fromwindows\startup folder.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bsterngillet:
Go corporate using code 0506. Works a treat for me and is defo quicker than basic.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dave_logic:
In choosing corporate, does this still install GPRS / MMS??

Hey Gary

Ash'e here. told how good the chaps here where, however there are still one or two faults in WM5 I have reoload mine with a standard edition HTC ROM and it now runs like greased lightening, the hardware is essentially fine just like any new operating it has a few flaws eventually in there own good time as Usual O2 will release an update that will fix these speed bugs.

Up untill then I am afraid that you guys will just have to stick to a few workarounds to make your Wizards managable,

Regards Ash'e
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] MrJoshua:
I think mine is very usable now that I've put it into corporate mode and have disabled animated menu's, enabled G wifi and whatnot.

As I've said before, if I hadn't have found this forum, I'd have sent the phone back to O2, as it was unusable with the O2 software installed.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] athorny:
hey garrington and 435nk9,

Thanks for your help. Doing a hard reset and then a soft reset before it installs the customisations has been the answer.

My miniS has speeded up unbelievably. I also noticed the battery life is better because whatever programs were running in the background are not.

Now it is useable and a great phone. It was close to the bin beforehand.

Thanks very much. Garrington - hope you came right as well.

I tried to unlock my bro's S3 with galaxsim app but it didnt seem to work. So my bro paid £20 to unlock his S3 and currently it has Neat Rom on it (4.1.2). Now if I flash another rom say a 4.3 leak will the phone lock again because Im sure thats what happened to my uncle's S2 but luckily galaxsim worked on it everytime.

Question is can I back up the nv file (I think it is) and if it locks, restore it to be unlocked?

tried to reboot into recovery as i usually do, but for some reason it bootloops into recovery.

The only thing i can do is boot into download mode, tried to flash a new recovery through odin, Odin says success but

when i try to restart it still bootloops into recovery and immediately keeps bootlooping?????

i did have the latest CWM 6.0.4.4. but it now seems corrupted somehow, Now im stuck. Any ideas.

Different bootloader, and it doesn't seem like it uses UEFI for the motherboard firmware, the system wasn't built for Windows.

[Dell Venue] cgigate:
the hardware completely compatible with windows, but need to get correct bootloader
[Dell Venue] deltatux:
You completely glossed over me saying that it doesn't seem that the tablet may not even use UEFI for its motherboard firmware, without it, NTLDR won't work (Windows bootloader).

Until we can prove that UEFI exists on these tablets, even if we manage to install NTLDR and Windows 8.1 on these tablets, it'll brick as NTLDR wouldn't know how to boot on a system without BIOS/UEFI.

deltatux
[Dell Venue] cgigate:
Almost all old motherboard with bios ( meet cpu and memory requirements) , it can install windows 8 without UEFI
[Dell Venue] deltatux:
I'm fully aware of BIOS, and the reason why I didn't talk about BIOS is due to its heavy reliance on legacy hardware In fact, BIOS will not work without a keyboard. That and the fact that it's written in 16-bit. No one wanted to keep BIOS for this long, the motherboard industry was dragging their feet until recently when they all migrated out of BIOS to UEFI.

Embedded devices like tablets and mobile phone do not use BIOS due to its legacy requirements and the only other motherboard firmware that can boot NTLDR on regular Windows is UEFI, so that's why I never made the reference to BIOS because it doesn't make logical sense to even include BIOS into the discussion.

Everything for me is working great except the sd ext. And since I'm new I cant even post in the development side to ask about a fix. Anyone know if this has a fix?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
first, in the future, ask questions in Q&A.

what size is your sdcard? if its a 32/64gb, make sure it is formatted as fat32, NOT exFat. did you use the "search this thread" function to see if anyone else reported similar issues in the rom thread?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dadstoys2:
Sorry about posting in the wrong area.

sd card is a 16gb gonna check but I have used it with every rom I have installed and pretty sure its fat32.

Did search and appears to be a problem with the rom. And fix looks to be using different code in the next build, I was just hoping that maybe someone else had same problem and found a simple fix.

Hey there,

I apparently didnt do my research and just snatched up the deal on the RT for 300 bucks and it has 8.1 on it.

What I didn't know is that I can't download certain desktop apps that I love like Chrome and Java mainly -

Do I need to do jailbreak to get this or is there another way. what is the best option right now for me for these two items?
[Windows RT General] SixSixSevenSeven:
You have a second case of no research then.

8.1 right here right now doesnt have a jailbreak.

8.0 *with jailbreak* still can't run chrome or java. Why? Because its an ARM processor not an x86 one so software needs porting to run on the ARM processor instead. Neither chrome or java have been ported.

[Nexus 5 General] JonM1988:
Just to let you know it does seem to be device specific and some type of manufacture defect.

I took my phone in to the store where I got it here in the UK (Carphonewarehouse) and they too thought it was very low. They brought out another Nexus 5 and the sounds was A LOT louder.

They swapped it out then and there!

I now have a brand new Nexus 5 with great sound :):)
[Nexus 5 General] dazz87:
yeah my co worker also has a nexus 5 and his speaker is also louder than mine. Beside the low speaker, my nexus is perfect no dead pixels, dust under the screen or loose power button. I am not going to chance doing an RMA. I hope we get a software fix from google soon about the sound.
[Nexus 5 General] RJM7787:
You know you can send back the replacement unit if it's not better than your n5 now, right? You can choose to keep the one you already have.
[Nexus 5 General] dazz87:
I think Google is changing their policy where now they are wanting you to return your first, then they will sent out the replacement. I read couple of recently post on the RMA thread
[Nexus 5 General] RJM7787:
Wow, crazy. I guess it was because there was a lot of RMA's. I was lucky I guess. I am able to continue using my device until my RMA device gets here in a week or so. And I was told I can deny it if it's no better. Anyway, maybe it's worth a call to see if you're eligible to do the same. Good luck.

Hi,

Does anyone know where the power on password gets stored on the Pocket PC device? Is it possible to reset the power on password from the Pocket PC registry? Or through any API call?

cheers,
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hjgode:
If this a device with an OS before WM5: simply do a cold boot or firmware reflash.

AFAIK there is NO default application that will query a password on poweron. It sounds to me like a customized application/pocket pc device. Which device do you have?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] halfmanhalfmachine:
hjgode on 2003 and 2002 there is Settings->Personal->Password

pvin007 you have these method available for passwords:

BOOL SetPassword( LPWSTR lpszOldPassword, LPWSTR lpszNewPassword );

BOOL SetPasswordActive( BOOL bActive, LPWSTR lpszPassword );

BOOL GetPasswordActive();

For them to be any use you need to know the current password, care should be taken while playing with these methods because if you forget the password you have changed it to you won't be able to activesync.

The password is stored in the registry and in an unacessable part of the memory.

This page also has good information:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnppcgen/html/wmdeploy.asp
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pvin007:
Thanks for the responses guys. My device is an i-mate PPC. Which has WM2003.

I had a look at those API functions, but they do require the existing password. I would like to know if it is possible to clear the existing password without knowing what it is.

The reason I ask is, I want to write some sort of code, that can be used to help users clear lost password. I am using OneBridge to send down remote registry settings and run scripts remotely, so I can execute anything on the device remotely if the device is locked and user does not know thier power on password.

But I don't know how to clear lost passwords, without having to hard reset the device and loosing all information on it.

I guess it is not possible to clear lost passwords.??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] halfmanhalfmachine:
There is a security dll you can overwrite and make your own API, so you wouldn't need the password.

I am not sure the exact details, but I have been told that for part of our project it can and needs to be done.

I wou't be starting this project for a few weeks though.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pvin007:
Thanks! Sounds like there is hope. I would appreciate if at the time you have a look at the project, if you can share more details about the security DLL on this forum.

Now first of all credits goes out to Team Win for making this amazing custom recovery, secondly make sure you have root if not you could find it on the forum somewhere. Anyway you might want to backup contacts and data and stuff like that in case you accidentally brick your phone or something. Lets get straight in! :)

Requirements:

A clear thinking brain

Galaxy ace 2 (attempting to do this on another device might suffer unforeseen consequences)

mod editload mode by clicking (Volume up+Home button+Power button) at the same time

then it should come up with some warning then click continue.

4) Plug the phone into the computer via USB cable

5) Open up Odin and click on PDA then open up the file GT-I8160-TWRP-Kernel.tar.md5

6) Hopefully you have install the USB driver because the rectangle just above should appear as COM(number)

7) Then if you are staisfied and checked everything is in order, go ahead and click start!:fingers-crossed:

8) Hopefully after it finnishes it should reboot if you wanna check go ahead and boot into recovery mode and hopefully it should install!:laugh:

If you have any problems or issues make sure to post your questions below.

If this has helped you click thanks rather than just saying it!:good:

Credits goes out to Samsung for making Odin, Team Win and people who ported twrp for galaxy ace 2!
