Known Limitations

 

Only portrait mode is supported for Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition.

 

Menu icons do not display in the Sametime client for Windows Mobility 2003, Second Edition

In previous versions of the client, icons appear on the command bar and some of the associated menus and menu items. For example, when the client is connecting to the Sametime server, a small, graphic symbol appears next to the word connecting.... Similar graphics appear for the status of the connection and for the status message selected by the user for others to see. These icons do not display in this release of the Pocket PC client when running on Windows Mobility 2003, Second Edition. Users should read the text labels in the menus.

 

Invalid pop up message appears when the Everyplace Client starts the WebSphere Everyplace Connection Manager connection

When the Everyplace Client starts the WebSphere Everyplace Connection Manager connection, an invalid pop up message might appear. The popup message requests the user to make a choice between some connection alternatives. Users should NOT select any of the choices presented. Instead, they should dismiss the pop up by either tapping on the Hide link or by tapping elsewhere on the screen. Users can also run the Connection Manager from the Start menu rather than from within the Everyplace Client. The invalid popup message only appears when WebSphere Everyplace Connection Manager is activated from within the Everyplace Client.

 

Extra, vertical border appears on the Everyplace Client category screens

If users are viewing the Home Page, the My Tools Page, or any page that they might have created, an extra border appears along the left margin of the screen.

 

Everyplace Client Installer Incorrect Message

The Device Management Agent used for Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition is the same as that used for Windows Mobile 2003.  So when you use the WEA Portal to install the Everyplace Client, you may see the following message on a Windows Mobile 2003 device: “Everyplace Client V5.0.2.1 Base for WM2003SE”.  Alternately, you may see the following message when installing on a Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition device: “Everyplace Client V5.0.1.2 Base for WM2003”.  In either case, the correct version will be installed to the device.  This is only a documentation problem.
