Windows Mobile Help
Hi, I'm John Kennedy from the Mobile Embedded Division's UA team - in other words, Help files.
I thought I'd do a quick post here to point you at my own blog, because I'm testing out a theory on a new way to present Help, and I'd like your opinion. If you have a few seconds, follow this link, and then shoot me some feedback.
Cheers!

Hi,
I have an Audiovox Smartphone 5600. The unit's version of Explorer does not support frames. Is there an upgrade or alternate browser I can install to remedy this?

There is currently no version of IE Mobile for Windows Smartphone that supports frames.
There may be other 3rd party browser solutions available that do support frames.Anonymous

We are required to create PayPal application in SmartPhone. I want to know if PayPal application can run on the SmartPhone 2003. Please help me out in this.

Varun, Doesn't it make sense to ask PayPal their availble interfaces. It's hardly a question for Microsoft.Anonymous

I NEED Help...
I have 10 users of various Pocket PC devices that utilize Activesync with mobile schedules set to sync "as items arrive". This feature has been working beautifully for over a year. For some reason, it has just stopped. I have Exchange 2003 SP1 on a Windows 2000 server and am not aware of any changes that have been made to our configuration.
In addition, if I keep the PPC cradled it DOES auto-sync with Exchange Server (even though it may not have sync'd with the Desktop).
I can set the mobile schedule to sync at specific intervals (every 5, 10, etc minutes) and it works... just no more auto-update. I have searched Technet and every other resource I can find and don't see anything that can help me. Can you shed some light on this problem? Thanks in advance for any assistance you can give me.Anonymous

Hello everyone, I have windows mobile 5.0 and everything that come with it on my Verizon phone. I have a question concerning mobile excel. I'm rather skilled with excel (on a PC) and I am trying to create that "pulldown list" effect using data validation for my cells. Is this feature not supported? If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it. If it does not, does anyone know something comparable that would work? Maybe Palm software? Thanks again. JonathanAnonymous

I just got my MDA from T-mobile. It's my 1st smart/PDA phone...so I am a bit lost. My question is how do you enable different encodings in IE? For instance in the desktop version of IE; if you go to View --> encoding; you can select different languages to view foreign websites. Is there a download for the IE mobile version?Anonymous

Hi, I just bought a Treo 750 running WM5. I have a big challenge with the font sizes. I have set the Font size to the maximum possible (and enabled ClearType). This changes things like the contacts book and the calendar. However, the messages that come up (eg who is calling etc), still seem to use a default font of some kind. Making it VERY difficult for me to read it without reading glasses. Any suggestions would be appreciated Thanks DineshAnonymous

Then I upgraded to Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 and suddenly all my contacts were gone... can you please help me?Anonymous

I've spent hours on the phone with Verizon on this and cannot seem to find a solution. I'll open google maps and it'll automatically dial into the EVDO network and connects just fine. It'll show the last place I had open and It allows me to use it just fine. After being connected for a short period (between 20 and 40 seconds) the Loading... bar will just freeze. After a few minutes of sitting there it finally gives me the dreaded: "This program requires a data connection... (snip)... Error: wininetHttpError [0 12019]" This seems to be a problem with google not communicating with the phone to "check" if the connection is active, and if it is not to "restart" the connection. I've done many soft resets, uninstalls, upgraded from the first version to version 1.2.0.9. Everything to no avail. I took the final step of doing a hard reset on the phone thinking for sure it would fix things. it didn't. I use google maps on my phone ALL THE TIME, and the live traffic is especially useful since i live in Los Angeles. Please help me with this!!! P.S. I've seen hundreds of posts reporting the same problem on many different phones/carriers but haven't seen a single solution yet. XV 6700 - Windows Mobile 5.0 - Google Maps version 1.2.0.9 Thanks!Anonymous

How do you display more than one appointment in the Today screen. Don't say Start/Settings/Today/Items/Calendar/Options/Display/Upcoming appointments. I've done that and only the next appointment shows up although I have several that should show up.Anonymous

Hi I have a iPaQ 6525 and windows vista 32bit. I have downloaded and installed the mobile device center to my conpuer. The installation process was completed successfully, yet my problem relies in Microsoft Outlook. I cannot seem to synchronize Outlook to my iPaQ correctly. It would mean a great deal to me if you could help me, for I've looked all around and there seems to be no one that will point me in the right direction. Please contact me via email, seskenasy@kreagroup.com and I will be thankful. Sincerly, Suzanne.Anonymous
