Papago X8.5 on Windows CE 5.0/6.0 Devices

Thanks to my buddy, Jimon ABM, for the PAPAGO X8.5 file. Now my Proton GPS is equipped with the newest version of PAPAGO, as well as the latest map update. Already used it for many times, the accuracy and performance so far are not bad.

My Simple launchpad. Not so creative though... :P.
I can choose between Lokatoo, Garmin, PAPAGO X5 and PAPAGO X8.5 gps on my GPS device. If you ask me which one I prefer most, I would say PAPAGO X8.5 is the best so far.

Games.
I can only set up a few games as below. I don't really know where to get more game files. Perhaps if any of the readers can give me more games, than maybe we can share ideas on the gps... :D

Cheers...

Remove printer on Windows 7

I have a problem. Once I used a printer "A" on my Windows 7. However, after upgrading to a new one, I wanted to removed printer "A" properties together with the driver from my laptop. However, no matter how many times I removed it, rebooted my laptop again, it seems like the printer reappears...

So, how to remove it? I found this solution online. Hopefully this will help us in the future.

Step by step:

1. Click Start > Run > cmd.exe
2. Right-click on cmd, "Run as Administrator"
3. Run the printui tool: c:\Windows\system32>printui /s /t2
4. Select the "installed printers drivers" that u hate and click Remove... If that doesn't work...
   
5. Click Start > Run > Services.msc
6. Locate the Print Spooler, right click > Stop
7. Open folder c:\Windows\System32\spool\Printers (just click OK to access)
8. Delete all the contents of that folder
9. Locate the Print Spooler, right click > Start
10. Back to step 3 and 4

Services.msc

Tadaaaaaa..... It really works for me and other computers that I work on that running on Windows 7. How about u guys?

Success in installing Blackberry OS

I've problem with my new Blackberry Curve 8520, and the solution is to reinstall the OS. So, I went to hand phone repair shop just to ask the price for reinstalling the OS. Surprisingly, the cost is around RM70 - RM150. Emmmm... better do-it myself i figured.

So if any of you guys need to reformat/reinstall/reload (or whatever you call it) OS on your BB, you might follow these steps. It was so easy and just take about 10-30 minutes of your time. And you must use a Windows Computer.

Firstly:
You must have Blackberry Desktop Software and the Blackberry OS on your computer. If you don't have it, download it. Don't forget to install the software (just double-click and click next-next-next... bla bla bla...).

Secondly:
DO NOT connect your BB to the computer yet and TAKE OFF the battery as well. Open your file browser and go here:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader

Click on the Loader. The app loader wizard will come up. Click next. Once you on this page, connect the BB to your computer immediately (No battery yet).

Once it get connected, and the connection change from COM1 to USB-PIN:UNKNOWN, immediately click Next >. This will stop your blackberry from the constant reboot/restart phase and allows you to reload the Operating System.

Now put the battery back in and battery cover back on (Make Sure you install the battery or else when the OS update is completing and the device disconnects from the computer to reboot, it will lose the power provided by the USB connection and you will get an error and have to do it all over again!).

Thirdly:
If it's done correctly, you are on your way to having your BlackBerry up and running again. Choose the options you want to install on your BlackBerry (BrickBreaker, BlackBerry Messenger, BlackBerry Maps, etc.), click Next>, then approve the installation by clicking "Finish." Sit back and relax while the BlackBerry does its thing.

Senang bukan :D...

Reinstall Blackberry Curve 8520 OS

Suddenly, I've got this error once I turn on my Blackberry Curve 8520.
Uncaught exception Index 3 >= 3
Various reasons might occurs for this error such as:

• BB cannot handle the page you are trying to load
• cause by a third-party browser (opera mini or bolt)
• cause by newly installed application
• OS corrupted
  

Then all of a sudden, this white page occurs, only showing the message:

App Error 523
Reset

It means "System Process Died".



Simple, I just need to reload/reinstall new operating system (OS) to my BB. I will post the step here once I succeed to do so (got to find the cable first... huh). And I will try to use new OS version v5.0.0.681...
