Avantgo problems after A12 upgrade and avantgo upgrade

l8_apex_it · 07-09-06, 02:42 AM

I just upgraded to A12 and have tried to install avantgo 6.2. 1st on my SD card... this was horrificly slow and no channels. I then uninstalled it and installed it to the default location. I still do not have any channels.
I have used avantgo for 3-4 years on previous PDA's and love it.
What do I need to do to get it working again?

Should I go back to a previous version of avantgo? I also noticed that the latest version is not part of activesync. So does that mean we have to manualy tell it to sync whenever we want the latest information? I rather like the fact that I didn't have to do anything and it was always updated.

I was having all kinds of problems with Avantgo before the A12 upgrade, so I just ended up un-installing it. I have not tried re-installing it with the A12 ROM. Do some searches on Avantgo in these forums - quite a few people were having problems.

The latest version of AvantGo doesn't sync automatically, which is deliberate on their part. They explain on their website why they did this.

I didn't know you could install AvantGo on an SD card. Did that work before you upgraded to A12?

It appears to be working fine now. Not sure what changed but I left it on over night and all of my channels are now on the front screen. I ended up uninstalling it quite a few times and making sure all resident avantgo directories on the X51V were deleted before installing again. Final installation was on my compact flash card.

So all is good with version 6.2 and Rom A12. I am happy once again. Still not sure what I think of having to manually update avantgo. Actually I do know and I would rather have it automatically update.

I have Avantgo on my x51 but it is quirky. I would like to reinstall the Avantgo program from the Avantgo site, but an error message says it won't delete the original Avantgo files so it can't install the new files. I am trying to uninstall Avantgo from my x51 and I get error message about file sharing violation and it won't delete. I simply tried to delete the file through file explorer. Is there another way to get rid of the Avantgo files?
