PDA Functions for your iLiad. Calendar, Contacts, Todo List - Page 3

firekat · 10-14-2007, 11:51 AM

Public Service Announcement:

Installed the GPE package to the internal memory of the iLiad. I would not suggest doing this. The iLiad starting acting erratically when I tried running the program after using it once previously. Blank screens, flashing screens, overlapping screens, locking up. I thought for sure that I bricked it. As soon as I could I uninstalled the program. I think that it could be related to opening the last document function in the new software. The iLiad could see that as a document and then goes into conniptions when it starts back up. I don't know how it works when installed on a memory card.

Oh FYI, I did not shutdown the iLiad when in the GPE program, so I can't tell you what happened.

I reset the iLiad to going to the "Recent Documents" page on startup. This alleviated some of the erratic and very scary machine behavior.

Sorry to tell you this, Adam B.

Sorry, I should have made it more clear that installing to the internal memory is not recommended and can have unexpected effects.

Future installers should resolve this problem.

Thanks a lot!
I installed successfully after the package installed first.

I installed GPE to SD or CF external memory. Either way showes the same problem:
After using GPE, the screen can not refresh when I press the quick reference button. The only way to refresh the screen is reboot.
How can I fix it?

Make sure you delete the _local folder on your internal memory.

lostdeer · 10-17-2007, 10:23 PM

I installed the program and deleted the installed icon, but _local folder is not deleted.
However, GPE does not work after I delete this folder by PC.

It's a standard installer, unzip it to your memory card (not internal memory, as that will have unexpected effects), and run on the iLiad.

Adam, I just bought the iLiad, that mean I am green using it. Normally I work on mac. Your GPE suite wil be great. But how works the installation. I unzipped on a cf card. Open my Iliad and there was a file Installing GPE, tap on it and nothing is happening. Help please!

It sounds like you don't have the developer package installed. Be sure to install that first.

Just one little question. Its not possible to write on the calendar? It will be easy for quick making appointments.

Any chance to integrate syncronization features with Lotus Notes for the calendar, ...?

axel77 · 03-05-2008, 08:54 AM

I installed it, and unfortunally deinstalled it 30 minutes later. Cudos for both installer/deinstaller to work so clean. However the reason of deinstallation was, this folllows IMHO far to much the classical application paradigm to be useful on the iliad, I'd rather have a much more "paperoriented" "enhanced" calendar. Where you can scrible on the days, but some auto function still realizes the begin/end times... so you can sort for them, repeat it etc. (like drawing a cross on the dayback, and this can be used to determine the size of an event)...

But for now I rather go for these autogenerated calendar png files to scribble on...
