At the moment the 'settings' on my snapvue does not have the option to soft reset. Would removing and reinserting the battery have the same effect?

Nope, WM6 (and so presumably SnapVue) has persistant storage

Thank you for the excellent work and the clear and useful guide. The videos are also a very nice touch just to reassure that one has not misunderstood or overlooked anything.

I'm writing this from my liberated Shift. Thanks

Paul, I have followed the instructions and all worked perfect.

I have 2 questions to you or the forum:
1. I wish to install Hebrew on the Shift will there be any issues or can i just view the machine like any WM6 machine?
2. When Windows update will notify me for Vista SP1 should I or should I not install it on the machine?

Thank you for excellent help by libarating my HTC Shift.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your work to "liberate" the Shift. It's great!

I applied all the shift packs to my Shift, and most works fine. Only the Office Mobile don't work. I can install the package, but at installation there opens a window with yes/no but no question ...

After the installation the icons for word, excel and powerpoint apears on my shift, but nothing happens if I try to start. All other programs seems to work (internet explorer, mediaplayer..)

I have no idea why it dont works on mine. Meybe because I have not the english version? It's a german version.

I also tried something with a blootooth GPS module, no chance. I read, that bluetooth is not supported yet on the WM6 (Shift). I think about TomTOm for navigation. This may be a very interesting add. But the SD card must also be supported because of all the datas. Mqaybe there's a solution in the future.

I think the Shift does not have any GPS Hardware installed. Am I wrong?

Greetings

Sigma99

i got my shift today and playing around just a bit... i have a german version.

following your instruction to liberate the htc shift did everything as you did in the video.
but when it comes to saving the two files from the mail received i'm not able to store them. the 'save to' menu is not active and btw the icons of the two files look different the they do in your video.

any clue what i did wrong?

any help is highly appreciated.

greetings.

EDIT: stupid me, you have to download the attachments before you can save them....

No, phone pad is a text input method. Nothing actually to do with phone calls, it gives you predictive text like a normal phone dial pad.

Hi Paul

Thanks for liberating the Shift

Would you consider creating a SHIFTpack with the phone-application in order to use SnapVue for GSM phonecalls too?

As the HTC-Shift also supports Bluetooth in SnapVue (WinMo) it should be (in my opinion) allowed/possible to use the HTC-Shift as a phone like other WinMo-phones, right?

Best regards.

Additional SHIFTpacks

Notes - EXE download (for use via Vista) or CAB download (for use in WinMo directly)
Office Mobile 6.1 - EXE download (for use via Vista) or CAB download (for use in WinMo directly)
Phone Pad - EXE download (for use via Vista) or CAB download (for use in WinMo directly)
Pictures & Videos - EXE download (for use via Vista) or CAB download (for use in WinMo directly)
Pocket Internet Explorer - EXE download (for use via Vista) or CAB download (for use in WinMo directly)
Remote Desktop Mobile - EXE download (for use via Vista) or CAB download (for use in WinMo directly)
Restore 'Today' Items - EXE download (for use via Vista) or CAB download (for use in WinMo directly)
Windows Media Player - EXE download (for use via Vista) or CAB download (for use in WinMo directly)

Hi Paul

Except for the office mobile pack above I have activated the WinMo normal features above thanks to your guidance. However, neither the office pack as CAB or EXE seems to work with SnapVue. I'm using a danish version of Shift, and my guess is that there is some kind of DLL konflict. Any ideas of how to make Office work in SnapVue/WinMo?

Best regards

John

Hi HTC-DK

As you can see above, I have the same problem with the german version. Seems to be a language conflict. I try now to replace some files from a german WM6 device. Maybe it works mybe not. I never tried such a thing, but it seems that Paul can't help us, because he only works with english devices, so we have to help us ourselfes. Maybe we got some ideas which files where we should search and replace. This would be great.

bye

Hi Paul,

I am a new user to the shift and would like to say thanks for the liberate packs, everything works fine including office.

I know you get this question a lot, but

1. do you think we will be able to use wifi in snapvue mode?

2. will we be able to use the SD card in snapvue mode?

3. Is there a way of changing the resolution in snapvue mode?

many thanks

Hi,

great advice so far, thanx

Managed to liberate my device and run all the .exe files from Vista. WM also has installed these. I however do not see any of the icons in WM. I have also installed Win.Commander as suggested. This also installed successfully - but no icon. The only icons newer are the USB and Softreset icons.

No probs connecting and sync with Vista.

Any ideas how I could get to the files within WM. Got the .cab-files stored in there as well - via Mail - just how to I get to them to run them.

Will appreciate your advice.

ME

Hi,

after now liberating my Shift twice and trying to install the MobileOffice .cab, I somehow can not get PowerPoint and Excel to run.

The Liberation (i.e. Start Menu) works perfect.

Any ideas?

Thanx.
