16bit Color on Psion Netbook Pro?

$
0

Hello. I'm interested in purchasing a Netbook Pro, but noticed it only has 12bit color. Do I need extra .dll's (like the J690) or would I be stuck with 12bit color?
Thanks in advance.

Function keys (F1, F2,...) mapped on WinCE

$

Hi friends,

I'm using OperaMini on my SigmarionIII and it's great! Unfortunately, it has some incompatibility with Sig3's touch.dll so that touchscreen doesn't work once I'm connected to internet and browsing using OperaMini. But at least I can use the arrow keys to navigate and enter to visit a link. But the menus are inaccessible because I must either touch them or press the magical F1 and F2 keys on the keyboard to access them. On my WinCE6.0 netbook, it works perfectly, but my Sig3 doesn't have F1 and F2 keys on its keyboard... :(
Is there a way to map these keys to another key? I tried using okey (I already use it from a long time to write Portuguese characters), but it seems to map key combinations to ASCII table characters only.

Hello,
I have a broken CF pin in the memory slot of Nec Mobilepro 900C (cmonex 2.0). The result is that the CF slot became useless. Is there a way to solder this broken pin? otherwise what professional should I seek for in order to repair this compact flash pin by soldering?

Thank you.

Hi,

Just wondered what wifi cards people are using (with netbook pro) that support WPA security? I am using a Cisco aironet 350 and this only supports WEP - not great these days!

PLEASE PLEASE Help! WinCE4.1 .net

Ok.. im at a loss here, and have been directed to ALL YOU GURUs out here.. i have been glued to the computer since friday night and its now sunday evening and my wife is going to kill me.

I Bought a fleabay special "Advantech MPC-100e" WinCE 4.1 .net tablet.. no docking station..
So... i have read alot now about these things. GOD ONLY KNOWS how ANY company could have ever used this for anything, unless they had special software and accessories custom for their company. All i want to do on this thing is have some APRS programs to run on it, have web capability over my home WI-FI, and some other simple programs installed..

So here is the problem i run into.. First of all, i am a genious at Desktop Windows PC's, but when it comes to this WinCE, im lost. Although i have learned a ton of info this whole weekend. WHY CANT I CONNECT THIS TO MY DESKTOP over serial port.. i tried a straight thru db9 cable, and then i cut that brand new cable to wire it as a null modem cable. I tried remote desktop both ways, i tried "com sync" in the network settings in CE, i tried the BTSerial as well.. i tried everything. no version of activesync will find this device on COM1 over serial.. so, why did they even put that function on this device. i tried it on a Windows XP machine, and tried Activesync 3.1, 3.5, 4.5 and some others, but no dice. I tried remote desktop and tried entering the name of the computer i want to connect to, just like it asks, but the second you hit ok, it says cannot find the remote computer.. not even a pause while it looks. so i imagine something is not right.. i matched the port settings to 19,2 and 115,200 , neither worked..

Next is.... i downloaded a bunch of programs FOR Windows CE 4.1 .... none of them installed... i moved the CAB files directly, and they proceeded to install, and then it made no icon on the desktop or in the menu and when i went into program files, double tapped, it says error, cannot find specified files or library.
BOTTOM LINE is i havent got a WinCE 4.1 program to successfully install.. i tried a bunch too.. i even tried a pocketPC version, it says this is not a valid pocket pc blah blah..... UUUGGGHHH!! so maybe WM progs will install under CE? maybe i have no idea, but i have messed with Pocketpc before, and i have a Windows Mobile 6.5 phone, upgraded from 6.1 ... have no problem there.. But heres the question.. without activesync, how do you install the programs onto this thing when it doesnt find it. some programs i tried installed like a normal WM ap, then says the next time you sync it will be installed... but it WONT sync..

WHAT IS PLATFORM BUILDER!!!??? I tried downloading microsoft WinCE 4.1 updates for this thing, it says all in one update package.. i double click, it says "you do not have platform builder installed" and i cant seem to find where to find it. But i dont know the first thing about bulding a platform, so am i misunderstanding the meaning of "Platform builder" or is it a developers tool that i would not know the first thing about. is there such thing as a "windows update" or SP update for this WinCE device? or do you have to go into the registry and build custom image files or whatever..

Can i flash this image with a new ROM or image, maybe WinCE 5.0 or 6.0? can i update to a Android? i know i cant run Windows 95 on an Arm/xscale processor, but it would be very cool if it worked. That would be way better than Windows CE, unless i have no idea what im doing. So far ive only successfully used a usb flash disk to transfer some cabs that never installed anything. Can you understand my frustration??
I know i am working with a dated piece of equipment, please dont tell me to go buy a brand new thing and junk this, because there are people out there working with a Jornada winCE2.0, so mine has to be much better than those right?

Thanks so much. Blinky1004@gmail.com

Wifi setting compatibility between Aironet 342 and 352?

Hi everybody! Just want to share with you an odd thing that I have experienced today by replacing the wifi Cisco Aironet card 342 with the 352 model on my MobilePro 900c running Cmonex v2 rom (having the Aironet drivers burned-in). Well, I have been positively surprised that I do not need to change anything in the old wifi settings, the new 352 card started to work and I got connected to my wireless home network immediately after insertion. I thought that the settings are card-dependent in some extend, but it looks they are not. Nice, isn't it?

There are two part numbers I found on web regarding the VGA cable that seem to be compatible with Nec mobilepro 900/900c:
1. 808-743243-001A and
2. S1424-12V

Are both cables the same and both compatible with mobilepro 900?

Thanks

This is a finger-friendly calendar app for the Pocket PC that turns out to be another Pocket PC app that looks cooler on the big H/PC screen. It's another nice creation by the geniuses over at xda-developers.com. It's written for CE 4.2 .net or higher, and requires the following DLLs: aygshell.dll, cellcore.dll, and imgdecmp.dll. Here's a shot of it on my Fujitsu Stylistic CT2020:

ROM for Psion netBook Pro

$

Hi

My netBook Pro has mysteriously developed a fault where the touchscreen is none-responsive. I've tried pressing down the area under the screen as often that solves the problem from the older, EPOC-based netBook and Series 7 models - but I think these WinCE 4.2 models are built differently and it didn't work. I've also tried re-flashing the ROM with the included SD card copy as a corrupted ROM is sometimes the problem. However, that didn't work either so I'm wondering if the SD card copy is corrupted.

I've been trying to locate a ROM file to download and flash it again but Psion.com has no mention of them - a search of their site turns up empty for "netbook pro", even just "netbook" only comes up with a dead link to a discontinuation notice!

Does anyone here have a ROM they send me?

Touchscreen on NBP

$

Psion Netbook Pro is my first Win CE device (secondhand, but it've been working properly for months). Unfortunately, the touchscreen sometimes switches off. I can work with an external mouse, but this is not a proper handheld style :).

I've tried hard reset and screen recalibration after -D- and got nowhere. This is certainly a hardware problem. Pressing the body of the device (at the place where the logo is and almost anywhere else) did not help either. Or rather, sometimes it did help, but then the touchscreen switched off after several minutes of work (fortunately, WordPad has keyboard shortcuts, so my work wasn't lost).

Is there some way to fix the problem? Specifically, can anybody give me a link to a manual on NBP servicing and repair (I have only a user manual)?

HexaLines

As Windows Mobile begins to fade away in the shadow of Windows Phone 7 and the upcoming Windows 8 ARM (not to mention fierce competition from Android), a lot of payware apps are being released for free. The latest addition to this list is a pretty cool game called HexaLines:

http://hexalines.com/

It requires .NET Compact Framework 2.0, meaning that it can work on any core CE device from CE 4.0 forward. It runs in full screen regardless of screen size or orientation (portrait or landscape). It can be played on both touchscreen and non-touchscreen devices (the latter with a mouse or touchpad of course). Check it out! :)

Here's how it looks on my 10" (1024x600) CE 6 netbook. Note the '+' and '-' buttons on the upper right corner. Those zoom the hexagonal game field in or out. Pretty impressive features and graphics. :D

Hello, I was board and discovered my "NEC Mobile Pro 900" with updated
to .net 4.2 Windows CE Rom could use ps3 keyboard.

I plugged in my PS3 MediaBoard Pro Wireless

is no mouse cursor to select the icon or window menus?

have not tested a wireless logitech usb mouse/reciever yet.


Sony GC85 EDGE card

Hi friends! Here I am again. When I think Im out of this adictive hpc circle I see myself buying another toy again... =)
Recently I bought a NEC mobilepro 900. I always had jornadas because of the size, but now I wanted to give the mp900 a try. The first thing I did with it was update it to WinCE 4.2, using the superb Cmonex ROM v2.0 transforming it into a 900C"monex". :p

But my frustration started when I tried to use the Sony GC85 PCMCIA EDGE card. On my jornada 720 with HPC2000 it is detected out of the box. It seems that WinCE 3 already has drivers for it. I just need to configure a DialUp connection and that's it, I'm online. Before updating the mp900 to wince4.2, I tested the card and it was recognizing it properly too. Actually, sometimes it was having some trouble with the card, but I think that maybe was some bootloader problem (I hope that it's not a PCMCIA slot problem). But now, with WinCE4.2, when I insert the card, WinCE shows me the dialog asking for the driver and doesn't matter what I try to do, WinCE doesn't show the modem on the DialUp configuration menu. At least, with the HPC2000 installed before it was showing the card properly.

I'm planning to downgrade to HPC2000, but still using the 4.10 bootloader and see if my card is detected. In case it is, I will need help to identify the driver that HPC2000 uses and copy it to WinCE4.2 to make it work. Do you guys have any idea of how to accomplish that?

Nec Mobilepro 900C and Redgear

$

As an addictive jornada user for a long time, I always used Redgear (actually I even bought it at the time it was still being sold). But now I bought a nec mp900c to try and Im quite liking the machine a lot. The first thing I did was update the ROM with the moddified cmonex rom v2. My question is if I should install Redgear on it even using this moddified ROM. I still didn't find any software that is not running on my mobilepro, but if Redgear can help with something and will not mess up the dlls cmonex put on her rom, then I should give it a try. Is there anyone with cmonex rom and redgear installed?

thanks

socket bluetooth cf card .net drivers

$

Recently I bought a socket bluetooth card model 8510-00159g and now Im trying to make it works on my cmonex v2 mobilepro. The cd that came with it only had drivers for wince 2.11 , wince 3 (hpc2000) and ppc 2002/2003se. I looked for some information on hcl, and found 3 different socket bluetooth cf cards. All of them are reported to work on the wince .net 4.2, but hcl doesnt have the driver for my model, it only has for the other 2. The socket website doesnt have drivers for wince at all, it only has for pocketpcs. So I tried without success the hpc2000 and even the pocketpc drivers. The card refuses to work. Interestingly is that even before installing any driver, when I put the card, wince didnt complain about a driver for it. I even thought that cmonex rom already has the driver built in, but the system didnt show anything about it, and after trying to install the driver (hpc2000 one) the bluetooth app didnt recognized my card. Do you guys know if its possible to use this card on ce .net 4.2? Whats the chipset of this card? Is there a chance of any other driver from another card work with it?
