Hello, what I am in order to say is not a critic but a consideration. I think that the "SHIFT LIBERATION" at the moment it is not much profit. I am using wm6 on shift from a week; use iternet explorer is truly impossible because the ram is insufficient. The rom memory is very small moreover the SD reader and bluetooth do not work. Since SD reader does not work is not possible to use wmp in order to see a movie or to listen music. Office mobile does not work absolutely and therefore I must use Vista to job. Without an adapted hardware support Htc Shift cannot work like a pda and I think that the Htc he has thus intentional. I am italian, excuse me for my english.

Paul,
Many thanks for the files, without them I think it's fair to say that the Shift would have gone in the bin!! Have 'liberated' and added Mobile Office without problems but do have an issue with Synchronising. From SnapView I attach to Vista (on which is installed Office 2003) and Sync starts successfully. In less than a minute it fails and the only message is "The server could not be reached". What have I missed?? David |

Hello,
First I want to thank you to Paul for his great research. Now my HTC Shift finally runs 2 operating systems (WM6 Professional and Vista Business). After "Liberate" my HTC Shift I found some new ways to speed up the "USB Tools" to Vista connection and to add mouse over WM6. 1. To faster attach "USB Tools" to Vista without no more attempts, first you should go to "Comm Manager" and disconnect modem then go to "USB Tools" and press "Attach to Vista". With this method I done the connection with Vista always from the first try and don't forget that anyway we can't use the GSM modem connection when the WM6 is connected to Vista. 2. To add mouse in Windows Mobile 6 (Liberated by Paul), there is a tool named "True Connect 3.0" for PocketPC. With this tool installed in Vista you have the full mouse integration when you are in WM6. Anyway this tool add mouse in WM6 only when the WM6 is attached to Vista through "USB Tools" but is a nice way to use your mouse when you switch in WM6. Note that micropad is not supported, only external mouse. About the SD card support for WM6 I think that this is very hard to realize. Try to imagine our HTC Shift as a Pocket PC with WM6 (with no memory card slot, no Bluetooth, no WiFi and no camera) connected with an USB data cable to a laptop running Vista Business (with SD card slot, HDD, Bluetooth, WiFi and VGA camera). Now just imagine that the USB cable connection is used to share the GSM connection from PocketPC to laptop or for synchronization as "USB Tools" done. Now to have Bluetooth, WiFi, SD card or camera support in the PocketPC is not possible since in this PocketPC is no hardware for that. If Paul can confirm my theory then we should stop to hope that there is any way to add SD card support, Bluetooth, WiFi, camera or even part of Vista HDD to the WM6 functionability.

Nice tip on trueconnect, so with Vista booted you gain touchpad control. Fantastic!

There are also some good tips for all HTC Shift owners:
1. Windows Update offer you to install Vista SP1 but you should know that doing so there will appear a lot of problems with your HTC Shift as 3G connection problem, sound disappear in dual speakers and more. You just do yourself a search over Google about Vista SP1 and HTC Shift and you will see only users that finishet restoring the Vista (with restart and F3 command) after unhappy update to Vista SP1. Better mark the Vista SP1 as hidden update to avoid automatic update in the future. 2. If your Vista internet speed is slow then all you should do is to click Start, type command in the search area and once the command tool is located do right click on it and Run it as Administrator. In the command console just type next: netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled This will speed up the internet speed. You can check the speed at speedtest.net If you want to restore the autotuning level, you can do it with the next command: netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal Best regards to all!

Nick,
How do you get on with synchronising between SnapView and Vista? Does it work? I've installed Office onto Vista and when I attach Snapview to Vista the attach process works (usually first time) but then synchronisation fails. Let me know how you get on please. Regards, David |

You need to check the security settings on your email account as these will frequently block attachments, especially lnk files. Regards, David |
