[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
can you not install copilot on the sd card so you won't have to activate every time you flash?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smackmac:
That kind of works, but only in the sense that you don't have to type all of the ridiculous long numbers for activatio again. It will remember all of your keys and your email/account settings.

I don't know how often I have re-activated, probably about 20 times, haven't had a problem since. But if you have a valid license and it has always been on the same phone (as in you didn't share the code) then how can they justify not re-activating the product. I like CoPilot, but if they try a stunt like that I will never buy it again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddyedwards007:
Thanks to both of you for the reply.

I do install it to my SD card and like smackmac says that only partly works.

@smackmac

I have probably activated less than you so I don't understand that one?

In one of the emails they sent me, they have limited activation to protect against software piracy, I can understand that so I asked them why don't they link the software to the IMEI number but they said they can't do that. The software is fully legal and I have only ever had it installed on my current phone,(HD2). I did give them an in depth explanation of the reason why I had activated/deactivated but I got the impression they didnt believe me, I even had to scan my email receipt and send as an attachment as proof of purchase. Like I said I will try that possible solution in my original post the next time I put a new Rom on the phone and ill update the post to let everyone know whether it worked or not.

Thanks again for your response.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Please let us know how your test goes eddyedwards007.

I just learned from CoPilot Support/ALK Technologies today, that I have also reached this "activation limit", that I was totally unaware of. I would warn anyone considering CoPilot not to buy if they ROM flash often. Or even if the hard reset often. Or even if they just think they'll have to reinstall the software often.

After I contacted CoPilot Tech Support/ALK Technologies about receiving an "error 1027" when trying to activate the product after a recent ROM Update, I got the following response:

So basically, they have my money and I have no CoPilot.

I have never had an issue of this sort with any other product on my HD2. I guess the magic number for me was 24. I had no idea reinstalling to the same device multiple times was an issue for them. This is an issue anyone considering CoPilot needs to be made aware of. Ticks me off when we who follow the rules and pay the money are treated like the bad guy :mad: . For crying out loud, we paying customers are the ones that DO keep them in business! Trying to use the product honestly now has me locked out.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darnell_Chat_TN:
So I fired off a response to the support ticket with a complaint of how I dislike them having my money while they fail to offer me service. My issue has now been fowarded to "Senior Technicians" and they are supposed to be getting back with me soon.

If they ever grant me activation again, I'm going STRAIGHT TO THE ANDROID VERSION. The Android version does not have to be reactivated as often, since when upgrading Android ports all the information is saved and comes right back through using the old data.img file or a utility like Titanium Backup. HD2 owners using an Android port have confirmed this for me. (See here and here.)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddyedwards007:
Hi Darnell,

Interesting post, I more or less got the same response, basically you are not going to be allowed to activate a product you paid for because they think you are making pirate copies. I have just downloaded the latest version of the rom I use and I will be taking the plunge tomorrow(19/11/10)

I sent a PM to Appelflap, who originally offered the solution, asking could he/she confirm it works and this is the response I got, [That's right. If you backup licp8.dat and copy it back to windows directory before copilot is started for the first time on the new rom, it will start as a activated copy.]

I hope Appelflap doesn't mind me posting the quote that was sent to me via PM.

So I hope it works otherwise I'll be left with a deactivated copy of Co-Pilot :mad: I'll let you know.

By the way I hope they grant you another activation, good luck.

Regards :)

Eddy
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddyedwards007:
Activation

Hi All,

Just to update what happened.

I have installed and updated my rom and did exactly as Appelflap suggested and .................................wait for it..............it worked!

So just to recap, if you have like myself, purchased co pilot and flashed numerous roms, you will eventually reach an activation limit and ALK Technologies won't allow you to keep activating indefinitely.

So if you go into the windows directory, copy licp8.dat to your storage card, and then after you have reinstalled co pilot, copy the licp8.dat file back into the windows directory BEFORE you open co pilot, that is important! This worked 100% for me and also my text to speech and live services I purchased are also working.

I take no credit for this, all the thanks and appreciation go to Appelflap :)

I hope this can be of benefit to other members of the community, and lets hope no-one from ALK Technologies reads the forums and comes up with a fix! ;)

Regards

Eddy :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Yesterday, I got this message from ALK Tech.

I was able to reactivate CoPilot Maps. But I am still unable to activate the Premium Live Services/Live Traffic that I also paid for. So I've asked them to assist me with activating that also.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grumpylad:
A couple of things that may help

I've yet to hit limit and I think it is for the following:

I use XDA_UC (Energy version) to install the Laurentius26 CAB and also to copy licp8 (contains your license key and saves typing out on the ABCDE keyboard) over to windows which avoids the need to reactivate the license. Then CP8 when run does do not go thru the activation loop.

Clearly for this to work you need a purchased license. I've have changed ROM's several dozen times without issue using this method. I hope this helps.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darnell_Chat_TN:
I was able to successfully activate Premium Live Services/Live Traffic tonight. I think I was mistakenly using my old password when trying to activate that one. Since the old password was likely stored, but I had changed the PW when trying to initially figure out why I could not activate.

I sure hope more CoPilot owners see this thread before they run into any issues.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theblueflash:
might sound simple but wont a backup or system image saved to your sd card restore your setting/co-pilot etc? ive done this with my phone a handful of timeswhen updating roms, never with anything fully registered but demo versions of apps and sofware ive installed are still within the preview time limit.

this way you can restore your prefered rom with your copilot and settings without having to activate it time and time again. may be totally wrong as ive never used co pilot but unless anyone says otherwise its gotta be worth a try?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Not usually good practice to restore a backup from an old ROM to a new one. It's usually best to only save and copy over just the nessesary files. Such as the one already mentioned.

To restore the full system image would also introduce any potential bugs that might have been in the old ROM's system files.

But we're trying to maintain what we paid for, not extending a trial.
[7 Mozart General] graham535i:
Alright everybody,

I have had the mozart now for a few weeks and everything is outstanding on it, it's pretty far removed from WM6.5.

The only problem i'm having is the camera just seems to shoot a little blurry, I know some of the pics are me not quite keeping still, I was just wondering what settings it should be on for a good picture.

Thanks

Graham
[7 Mozart General] dov74:
Hi,

I've not changed any of settings and am getting pretty good results (when I remember to wait for the 2nd flash that is!).

Will have a play about with the settings over the weekend and post if I find anything interesting.

How does the Mozart camera compare to the Omnia 7? I am considering either this for the camera or the Omnia for the S-Amoled.
[7 Mozart General] ZeeShh:
I'm experience the blurred image as well and I did not change the setting either.

Just wonder how to take close ups with this camera e.g. when i take photos of a book the words are not readable, blurred???
[7 Mozart General] jofbig:
EDIT: Wrong thread ! :D

Anyway, I'm having the same issue with "blurry" pictures. Even my N900's 5Mpix camera is performing better... *Sigh*
[7 Mozart General] mkkhetia:
This might sound a bit odd, but u know the button on the side to press to actually take the pic? .. Hold it in for about 5/6 secs and it seems to zoom in and crisp the focus ... then click to take a pic.
[7 Mozart General] dov74:
Have you tried Macro mode? Works well for me.

I've not had any problems with blurry pictures.....unless I move after focus has locked. Unfortunately there's no Microsoft update coming for me being bad at keeping still!
[7 Mozart General] ZeeShh:
Ok, we need to press the camera button for a while until it adjusts the focus, then close ups can be taken and once focus is locked then there is no blurr and images are just excellent. thank dov74.

any thing i'm missing in settings about macro mode? not sure where it is.
[7 Mozart General] dov74:
No Problem.

Macro mode is under camera/settings/scenes then it's the last option. I've not taken any proper photos with it but I've messed about with it and have gotten good results.

From memory, another member on here uploaded a picture taken in Macro mode - will have a look and see if I can find.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrislawho:
Sorry to open this thread, but I'd been reading some other threads and I've seen ppl asking about it, but since it's mixed with some other topic it just get forgotten.

Anyways, I've flashed my Rogers Captivate to a AT&T 2.2 firmware, but I'm having problems with Rogers itself (they keep screwing up my bills for the last 4 months, this month they were charging me CDN$855 ><). So I decided to cancel with then and go with Bell's Vibrant. The problem I'm having is that I flashed back to Rogers stock rom, but the AT&T is still there. I pre-ordered my galaxy so I have to send via mail, I can't just return to a store. So I need to remove the AT&T logo at the start up.

Any ideas on how I do that ?? I just started using Android so a step by step would be appreciated, specially because I have to return it as soon as possible, so I don't have much time to experiment :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cezar`:
How did you flash back to stock? ODIN? clockwork from nandroid backup?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrislawho:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eugene373:
you need to find the stock boot.bin & param.lfs

to remove the att logo.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cezar`:
Be careful though, those 2 files are the most dangerous files to play with!

However, I believe that might be fixed if you flash the stock firmware with the option "Phone Bootloader Update" ticket. Not 100% sure though.

Can someone confirm?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eugene373:
You don't need that checked if you have the boot.bin in the pda..

param.lfs is where the images are contained and param.lfs is stored on stl6

the dangerous one is the boot.bin

It looks like this on the phone....http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14217261/IMG00009-20100820-2119.jpg. I just wanna remove that damn att screen even if its just black or the samsung galaxy s logo screen then bootanimation. any help would be awesome. (I dont mean to hijack this thread but didnt wanna get yelled at if i started a new thread)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
that AT&T splash screen you guys are talking about is located in the param.lfs file that is flashed with ODIN, stored in one of the bml blocks and viewable in /.lfs in the root of the phone.

As has been shown with the Samsung Moment, this file can be flashed and replaced, but is a terrible idea. For them, replacing that file required it be under 100 KB and would lead to a brick (that is unrecoverable if I listened to noobnl correctly).

basically, it's at worst a minor annoyance and not worth the potential damage in my opinion.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrislawho:
Thanx for the help guys.

Well I guess the I9000 logo isn't as annoying as the AT&T. If I can't solve the problem and my return is refused, I guess i'd prefer the I9000 logo lol

I'll try to flash to that tomorrow.

Do you think it's possible to upload the ROM you have from rogers ??

Another I noticed is that now my GPS is screwed up. I was able to get a perfect lock with the rogers rom. No I'm about 1 block north and 1 east away. For basic stuff that wouldn't bother me, but if I could fix that... I tried the *#*#1472365#*#* thingie but nothing really happened. I mean, when I first start google maps I get the perfect location, but after the map loads I warp someplace else lol.
