Saving Unsigned Root Certificate

Sunday, 13 August 2006 11:54 Tony Leone

There seems to be some confusion on the net in regards to setting up Exchange ActiveSync on Windows Mobile phones. By default, Exchange 2003 will require SSL and if the Exchange administrator does not buy a root certificate for the server he/she can install a "self signed" cert. When a self signed cert is in place, users will be prompted to "trust" the root certificate of the server, allowing you to proceed to the webpage/resource. Internet Explorer is configured to trust certain certificates, depending on who genertated them, Verisign, GeoTrust etc.

You can change the background image that is displayed on the start menu screens by replacing the /Windows/Cingular.bmp file with a BMP file of your choice.

Just make sure the image is 240px wide by 320px high. Once you replace the file, then reboot your phone and the new image should be displayed when you press "start".

Installing ClearVue Suite to Cingular 2125 Storage Card

Thursday, 22 December 2005 08:49 Tony Leone

Cingular shipped the full ClearVue Suite on the applications CD that came packaged with the Cingular 2125. However, lots of users, including myself, reported various errors with the installation. Especially if installing the suite to your storage card.

I have put together some instructions on how to get it correctly installed on your storage card or otherwise. Please note that these instruction only pertain to the ClearVue Suite bundled with the Cingular 2125 and that a *new version of the suite can be downloaded HERE, directly from Westtek, but you will need to purchase it or use an existing serial.
