Appendix A: EUU2 Improvement Details

·      Media Player Full Screen playback breaks on second played clip

Problem:

The lower portion of the screen will not render video properly after the first video clip when playing a playlist containing more than one video with full screen enabled.

Improvement:

Windows Media Player is now updated, and the problem is corrected.

·      FTP User/Password authentication default overrides user “anon”

Problem:

When connecting to a FTP server, the FTP API InternetOpen() always passes username=anon and passwd=user@domain, even if the application passes username and passwd to the API.

Improvement:

InternetOpen now checks if a user name or password is provided. If both are blank, then default value is used. Note that this improvement does not affect Pocket Internet Explorer FTP authentication behavior.

·      Pocket Internet Explorer sometimes does not send Submit button Name/value information

Problem:

When an HTML FORM contains multiple SUBMIT buttons with the same NAME (for example, control collection), none of the button information is sent to the server computer when the user selects one of the SUBMIT buttons.

Improvement:

SUBMIT buttons can now be recognized as control collections (like BUTTON and RADIO already are) and submit the information of the SUBMIT button that the user interacted with.

·      Pocket Internet Explorer is slow to load a pages with JScript

Problem:

Pocket Internet Explorer takes significantly more time to load pages containing JScript as compared to Pocket PC 2000. It can take over ten seconds for a large JScript block to display what should take less than one second.

Improvement:

JScript loading is now significantly faster.

·      IMAP4 service stops responding when attempting to download e-mail with certain attachments

Problem:

IMAP4 service will stop responding while retrieving messages if any message has a specific type of attached file 

Improvement:

File attachments that were previously affected will now successfully download to the device.

·      Advanced VPN Settings will not save in Pocket PC 2002

Problem:

Connection Manager Advanced VPN settings will not save. This prevents use of “Use specific IP address” and other advanced VPN settings.

Improvement:

Advanced VPN settings can now be saved as expected.

·      System .WAV sound files have extra noise at the end

Problem:

Copyright and other text information embedded at the end of .wav files are played as sound. This causes extra noise at the end of each sound file (except Alarm2.wav) 

Improvement:

Copyright information was removed from .wav files.

·      Server Sync cannot synchronize if a specific meeting is in Inbox or Calendar

Problem:

Some very rare types of meeting requests can cause Server ActiveSync to fail synchronizing any data until the meeting request is deleted. The solution is to manually identify the meeting request and manually delete it, to restore the ability to synchronize.

Improvement:

Server ActiveSync on the device now shows a warning identifying the specific meeting, and does not synchronize this type of meeting request.

Appendix B: Previous Improvements

Pocket PC 2002 updates are cumulative. Installing the latest EUU update automatically installs all previously released EUU improvement updates. Some devices may have some or all of these improvements already in ROM (depending on the manufacturer and the date). The following list shows improvement updates from EUU1.

·      User receives "page contains errors" when visiting a WML page with foreign characters over a non-SSL connection

Problem:

When visiting a Wireless Markup Language (WML) page that contains extended characters, the following error message is generated.

The page contains errors and cannot be displayed.

This problem occurs only when the page is encoded in Universal Character Set Transformation Format 8 (UTF-8) by a WAP gateway. This does not affect Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) Web browsing or navigating directly to a WAP page without a gateway.

Improvement:

With this update, WML browsing over WAP now functions correctly.

·      PPP Networking

Problem:

PPP fails to work when the PPP server does not provide a gateway IP address. PPP links, such as General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) connections, typically do not require a gateway; therefore, PPP servers do not have to provide a gateway IP address.

Improvement:

This problem has been corrected by inserting a gateway address in routing tables if no gateway address is provided.

Any user-defined static DNS entry is always overridden automatically when establishing a PPP connection. This prevents proper DNS configuration if the remote access server (RAS) called does not provide DNS information.

Internet Protocol Control Protocol (IPCP) now requests DNS only when a user-defined static DNS is not provided by the user.

·      Cannot send messages through SMTP servers that send more than one response line

Problem:

E-mail messages cannot be sent through SMTP mail servers that send more than one response line upon initial connection. The following error message is generated

The message(s) could not be sent.  Verify that you have network coverage and that your account information is correct and then try again.

Improvement:

With this update, Inbox now reads the entire response from the SMTP server.

·      IP addresses reversed upon restart of Connection Manager

Problem:

IP addresses are reversed each time they are viewed in Connection Manager. As a result, connections to Internet sites that require static IP addresses may fail.

Improvement:

With this update, Connection Manager now prevents reversing IP addresses.

·      POOM stops responding (and the calling application stops responding) if accessed through script

Problem:

POOM (Pocket Outlook Object Model) stops responding if accessed through scripting.

Improvement:

With this update, the problem has been corrected.

·      POOM Contacts performance is much slower as compared with the original version of Pocket PC 2000.

Improvement:

POOM Contacts reading is significantly improved, especially when reading multiple properties (such as reading all contacts as part of a backup or restore verification).
