Does your software work on the HP720 ?
Currently our software does not support the HP720 CE3.0 for
handhelds, if we get enough demand for our applications for this
platform we will consider porting them over at a later date.
-
When I tried to install the software I got the
error message Win CE services not installed.
The error message Win CE services not installed on your machine
points to a problem with the install not finding one of ActiveSync
entry's in the registry.
When you double click the .exe file to install one of our
applications onto your pocket pc, the program first looks in the
registry on your pc to locate where the ActiveSync applications
manager is.
This is the key it looks for in the registry:-
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App
Paths\CEAPPMGR.EXE"
The value of this key is the path to the applications manager e.g.
Win98 system is normally
C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\CEAPPMGR.EXE
The applications manager is the Add/Remove programs window that you
see popup when installing / removing apps from your PPC.
Reinstalling Activesync on your pc normally cures this problem.

I am having problems connecting my Ipaq with
built in Bluetooth to my Ericsson phone.
Firstly in our application under Options - Port select "COM8:
Bluetooth Serial port COM8:"
Then to use an Ericsson BT phone on an Ipaq with built in Bluetooth
you need to do the following :-
Discover the device by setting the device/phone to discoverable
(Extras - Bluetooth - Discoverable on a Ericsson T39/T68) and then
running a "Search" routine on the Ipaq (Bluetooth Manager - Search).
Once you have "Discovered" the device you can bond with it by
selecting the device in the Bluetooth manager and then selecting
Actions-Bond with this device and also on the phone (Ericsson)
selecting Extras - Bluetooth - Paired Devices - Add Device. You will
then be prompted to enter a pass key on the phone and the Ipaq.
Once bonded you can check and set the services in the Actions menu
you need to check/set 'Connect to serial port'.
If you still have a problem you may need to go into Bluetooth
Manager - Tools - Settings for All Devices - Serial Port and tick
the "Passkey is required" check box and the "Let other devices use
this service" check box.
Further information can be found the book that comes with the Ipaq
titled "Special Features" "Compaq Ipaq Pocket PC with Bluetooth"

When writing to the SIM
card memory on my Nokia 82xx my contact name is truncated to 8
characters.
The problem you are reporting is a known bug on some
of Nokia's 8xxx phone models. When writing to the SIM card
memory this Nokia phone limits the name field to 8 characters, this
is when using AT commands through the IRcomm service to connect to
the phone. As you know the contact name can be much larger if you
enter the contact manually using the phone keypad, we have tried to
bypass this restriction but the phone just rejects the string. Many
Simple Phone Book users who have these Nokia Phones are happy to use
the Phone memory rather than the SIM to store their contacts and
this allows them to use 12 - 16 characters, so you may want to
consider this as a work around.
The problem has been reported to Nokia.

Why is the Nokia 6150 not
supported with Simple Phone Book ?
The Nokia 6150 is one of the few Nokia phones that will not work
with our applications, Nokia used a proprietary protocol for the IR
port on the 61xx series.
-
When listing the SIM or
phone book contacts on my Nokia 6210, Red Phone / Simple Phone Book
only displays the contact name, the numbers are corrupted or
missing.
Some new Nokia 6210 phones have been released with a bug in their
firmware code and this gives problems such as this. You can check
the firmware version you have on your phone by entering *#0000# on
your phones key pad, this will then display the version number in
the window.
The version numbers known to cause problems are :- 5.17 & 5.27. The
fix is to upgrade your Nokia 6210 to S/W level 05.56. The upgrade is
free if you take your phone along to a Nokia approved phone service
centre.

Ipaq 5450 problems.
The
new Bluetooth manager software on the Ipaq 5450 can give you a few
problems. We have found that it is best to use the Dial up network
connection port to access the phone instead of the Bluetooth serial
port, this then does not pop the annoying extra Bluetooth manager
connection dialog boxes.
To do this first ensure you have gone through the Dial up networking
wizard for your phone in Bluetooth manager, then in our application
select BTC1:Bluetooth Port 1: as the com port in Options.
