I received a new Pocket PC Phone, and i cannot get a key that works on it! |
If that new key still does not work, maybe that's because your new phone is a Pocket PC Phone, while your old phone was a Smartphone.
If your previous phone was a Smartphone (i.e. no touch screen) and your new phone is a Pocket PC Phone (i.e. with touch screen), this is a 'normal' issue:
You originally purchased PocketTV Enterprise Edition for Smartphone, which is not the same product as PocketTV Enterprise Edition for Pocket PC (prices are different and keys are not the same for each).
If you contact us (using this contact form) and provide us all the information required in the contact form, we will be able to upgrade you so that you can get a key that works on your new Pocket PC Phone, at no extra charge.

My key does not work! |
First, check that you enter the key in the correct dialog. For purchased keys, enter the key in the dialog that PocketTV displays when you select Purchase in the menu. For free registration keys, enter the key in the dialog that PocketTV displays when you select Register in the menu.
If the PocketTV dialog is correct and the code displayed by PocketTV in the dialog is the same as the one in the email you received with the key, check for typos:
A typical mistake is to typethe letter l instead of the digit 1, or the letter O instead of the digit 0.
The key is hexadecimal, i.e. it can contain only digits from 0 to 9 and lettersa, b, c, d, e or f (no other letter is possible in the key).
Example:The 2nd character is the digit 0, not the letter O and 6th character is the digit 1, not the letter l !!!

I have problems installing PocketTV from the Setup file! |
You can install PocketTV from a CAB file. The PocketTV CAB files can be downloaded from the PocketTV CAB Files Repository. Just move the mouse pointer over each link, you should see the full-name of the CAB file at the bottom of the browser window.
- Smartphone:
Download the right CAB file for your Smartphone and copy it in the IPSMWindowsStart MenuAccessories folder on your Smartphone (e.g. using the Explore tab of ActiveSync). On Smartphone 2003, IPSM is called Storage. Then go in Home > Start/Programs > Accessories and open the CAB file. It will install PocketTV.
- Pocket PC or Handheld PC:
Download the right CAB file for your device, copy it in the My Documents folder on your device (e.g. using the Explore tab of ActiveSync) and open it from the device using File Explorer. It will install PocketTV.
- Palm-size PC: copy the CAB file in the WindowsStart Menu folder and open it from the Start menu.
File is improperly linked with alignment less than 0x1000... |
PocketTV does not have an automatic installer for some legacy devices. You cannot run PocketTV.exe on your PC: you must install it manually.
Once you have downloaded PocketTV.exeon your PC, you must copy it to your device manually using ActiveSync.Please follow our detailed Installation Instructions.
Cannot find a compatible device... |
You should goback to the download section and selectthe right version of PocketTV for your device.
Can't find PocketTV.exe (or one of its components) |
Check the version of WinCE on your device and download the correct version of PocketTV.
To determine the processor type and WinCE Version:
- On Pocket PC, open Start, Settings, tap the System tab andtap the About icon to see the processor type and Windows CE version.
- On older devices, depending on the version of Windows CE, select Start,Settings, System, or select Start, System.The processor type and Windows CE version arelocated on the General or Device tab page.
PocketTV does not work! |
If your platform is not listed as unsupported, are you positively certain that you have downloaded the right version for your device ?For example, H/PC Pro version will probably not work on a P/PC. Go back tothe download section and double check. Check that you have enough Program memory to run PocketTV. Click here to check and adjust your Program memory.
If PocketTV still does not work, please report the problem.
What are the System Requirements for PocketTV ? |
- Platforms: PocketTV works on all Microsoft Windows® Powered Pocket PC, Smartphone, Handheld PC Pro, Handheld PC 2000 devices and Pocket Manager (Casio BE-300, BE-500 l'agenda).
PocketTV is designed for color-display but it might also work with grey-level display. There are some known problems with iPaq 3100 series (Landscape mode does not work).
PocketTV should also work on all legacy WinCE devices except: SH3 HPC WinCE 2.0 systems, Sharp Mobilon HC-4500G/HC-4600 (WinCE 2.0), Compaq 2010c/2015c (WinCE 2.0). If you have one of those, try PocketTV at your own risks!
- Display: You need at least 16 gray levels but 65,536 color is recommended. With 256 color, you need palette support (won't work on devices that support only the system palette, like the Compaq aero 8000). PocketTV has an advanced Dither option that produces unsurpassed image quality even on devices with only 4,096 colors (e.g. iPaq 3600 series, Jornada 540 series).
- Audio:To get audio, you need audio support plus speakers or headphones. Stereo support recommended.
- Memory: You need about 500K of storage memory to install PocketTV, plus at least 3MB of available Program Memory to run it. You need of course additional storage memory for your MPEG files.
Do I have enough Program memory ? |
You need at least 3MB of available Program memory. On a Pocket PC, to increase the amount of available Program memory, go to Setup, System, Memory and move the slider toward the left. Under Program memory, look at the difference total and in use. The difference (i.e. available Program memory) should be at least 3MB.
If you don't have enough of Program memory to play video, only audio will play.If you have very little Program memory available, PocketTV will notwork at all or will hang (in which case you must Reset your device).
Start Menu moved to the center of the screen after I install PocketTV! |
To bring it back to the left side, just remove one or more items from the Start Menu.
To do that, go to Settings > Personnal > Menus to select what programs you want to appear in the Start Menu. Programs not listed in the Start Menu will be available through Start Menu > Programs.
What does it mean to 'application-unlock' a Smartphone ? |
When you application-unlock your Smartphone, you disable this safety system. Application-unlocked Smartphones will run any applications including possibly unsafe ones that are not signed or that are signed with a revoqued certificate. Unsafe applications and viruses can cause your Smartphone to malfunction or compromise the security and privacy of your personal data.
Why do most freeware and games only run on application-unlocked Smartphones? That's because developers are required to pay significant fees in order to get the digital signatures that allow their applications to run on application-unlocked (i.e. secured) Smartphones. Most independent game and freeware developers cannot afford to pay those signature fees. Also, code signature requires that developers have a real registered company/business. Many independent game and freeware developers don't have one.
What is the difference between application-locked and SIM-locked? A SIM-locked Smartphone will only accept SIM-cards from a certain wireless carrier. This has nothing to do with whether the Smartphone is application-locked or not.
Application-unlock your Smartphone at your own risks, knowing that you will have a lesser security.
There are various ways to application-unlock a Smartphone, depending on the model. Try:
- Activer / Désactiver la sécurité du mobile SPV (i.e. the same in french)
- Mio 8380 page with Unlocking Service (in chinese)
- Mio 8380 Unlocking Service (in english)
- Or try this Unlock/de-certification guide from coolsmartphone.com.
How can I download MPEG files from the net ? |
Some versions of Internet Explorer have a bug that changes the file extension from .mpg to .mpeg when you download an MPEG file and save it to disk. If this happens, you might have to change the file extension back to .mpg at the time you save the file, before transfering the file to the device (older versions PocketTV will list only the files with the .mpg extension - newer versions can handle both .mpg and .mpeg). To check the extensions of files that you already have on your PC hard disk, open any folder, select the Tools menu, select Folder Options, select the View tab, un-check Hide file extensions for known file types.
Then, once the .mpg file is on your desktop, you must copy it into your device or to a Storage Card.
How can I copy MPEG files into my device or Storage Card ? |
Important: If have downloaded video from the net, they may not be in MPEG format or may have been encoded with parameters not optimum for PocketTV. In that case, we recommend that you use our Simple Guide for making MPEG files optimized for Pocket PC or Smartphone. Use Pocket PC or Smartphone templates, depending on the device you have.
Open ActiveSync and make sure that your device is connected.
- Pocket PC with Windows Mobile 5, 2003 or 2002:
In ActiveSync, click on Explore. The window called Mobile Device shows the document filescurrently located in your devide. To add an MPEG file, just drag it in there.To remove a file, select it, click on the right button and choose Delete in the pop-up menu. You can also remove files from the device using Pocket File Explorer: tap-and-hold the file name and select Delete.
To copy the file on a Storage Card which is currently in your device, open My Pocket PC (located in the Mobile Device window), then open Storage Card and drag the MPEG file in there. If your Storage Card contains a folder called My Documents, you should place the MPEG file in this folder.
The fastest and most convenient way to copy files from the PC to a Storage Card is by using a Storage Card Reader that plugs into a USB port on your PC (e.g. SanDisk ImageMate CF Reader USB). Those are inexpensive and widely available peripherals. If you have a laptop, all you need is a PCMCIA/CF adapter (even cheaper).

You can also remove files from the device using Pocket File Explorer: tap-and-hold the file name and select Delete.
To copy the file on a Storage Card, you must create a folder called My Documents in the Storage Card and place the MPEG files in the My Documents folder: With ActiveSync, open My Pocket PC (located in the Mobile Device window), then open Storage Card. Make sure that there is a folder called My Documents in the Storage Card. If not, create it. Open My Documents, and drag the MPEG file in there.

Those are inexpensive and widely available peripherals. If you have a laptop, all you need is a PCMCIA/CF adapter (even cheaper).
- Smartphone:
On Smartphone, you should store all your MPEG files on a Storage Card, because the permanent storage on the Smartphone (called IPSM or Storage) is limited and should be reserved to install applications, and the RAM is only for running applications and it is erased when you turn your phone OFF.
In ActiveSync, click on Explore. The window called Mobile Device shows the document filescurrently located in your devide. Make sure there is a Storage Card in your Smartphone. Open Mobile Device then open the Storage Card. To copy an MPEG file to your Storage Card, just drag it in there.To remove a file from the Storage Card, select it, click on the right button and choose Delete in the pop-up menu. You can also delete files using the PocketTV File Selector menu.
The fastest and most convenient way to copy files from the PC to a Storage Card is by using a Storage Card Reader that plugs into a USB port on your PC. Those are inexpensive and widely available peripherals.
- Casio Pocket Manager (BE-300 and BE-500 l'agenda):
Due to the limited amount of storage memory in those devices, you should store all your MPEG files in a Storage Card. The fastest and most convenient way to copy files from the PC to a Storage Card is by using a Storage Card Reader that plugs into a USB port on your PC (e.g. SanDisk ImageMate CF Reader USB). Those are inexpensive and widely available peripherals. If you have a laptop, all you need is a PCMCIA/CF adapter.
- Palm-size PC or Handheld PC:
Make sure that you have installed Active Sync (3.0 or better).Open Active Sync, click on Explore. Then click on My Documents to see the document files currently located in your device. To add an MPEG file, just drag it in there.To remove a file, select it, click on the right button and choose Delete in the pop-up menu.
If you usea Storage Card, you must create a folder called My Documents in the Storage Card, and place the MPEG files in this folder:Open Storage Card. Make sure that there is a folder called My Documents in the Storage Card. If not, create it. Open My Documents, and drag the MPEG file in there.
How can I delete an MPEG file from my device or Storage Card ? |
- Pocket PC:
To delete a file from your Pocket PC, use the File Explorer application.
Start the File Explorer (in Programs), go to the folder containing your file (usually 'My Documents'), then tap-and-hold the file name and select 'Delete' in the pop-up menu.
Note: there is no Recycle Bin on the Pocket PC: Once a file is deleted, it's gone...
- Smartphone:
To delete a file from your Smartphone, use the Delete command in the PocketTV File Selector.
- With the Explore feature of ActiveSync:
If your device is connected to your desktop, you can also use the Explore feature of ActiveSync to delete files from your device or from its Storage Card.
- Remark:
You can get an 'Access denied' error if you try to delete or rename a the file that is currently used by an application. In that case you need to exit/terminate/kill the application or reset your device. To reset a Pocket PC, press the small Reset button. To reset the Smartphone, power the device OFF then ON again.
PocketTV can't see MPEG files on the Storage Card! |
There are two solutions to this problem on Pocket PC:
- Place all your MPEG files in a top-level folder called My Documents on the Storage Card. If this folder does not exist, you must create it (using the Explore feature of ActiveSync or using Pocket File Explorer).
MPEG files can be organized in sub-folders, as long as the sub-folders are inside the folder My Documents.
If it still does not work, check carefully that the name of the folder that you have created is exactly 'My Documents', not 'My Documents' or 'My Documents '. There should be only ONE space after My, and no trailing space! Any extra space in the name would cause the folder to be unrecognized.
The reason for this ennoying problem is that Microsoft's standard 'Open File' dialog only shows the files located in the top-level folder 'My Documents' and in its sub-folders (one level only), in the main memory and in the CF Storage Card. Microsoft calls that a design feature, we call that a bug. Complaints about this problem (which also affects Microsoft's own Media Player, by the way) should be redirected to Microsoft.
Note: If you have a non-English device, the name of the folder may be different (e.g. French: 'Mes Documents').
- PocketTV now provide an option to use the tGetFile dialog to open MPEG files. Just select the Use tGetFile in the Files options, and PocketTV will let you open MPEG files located anywhere on your device or Storage Card!
I want MPEG files to be played by PocketTV rather than by TCPMP / BetaPlayer / PocketMVP / PocketDivX! |
Use the 'File Associations...' option (in Tools>Options>Files). This option checks the current file associations. If it detects that some file types normally associated with PocketTV are associated with some other application (e.g. PocketDivX), PocketTV offers to restore the default PocketTV file associations, so that MPEG files opened from the File Explorer will be played with PocketTV.
PocketTV can play CMF files but I get no audio, why ? |
CMF (Casio Media Format, also known as Casio-PEG or cpeg) is a format proprietary to Casio. The video part of CMF files happens to be based on MPEG, which is why you see the video part when you play a CMF file with PocketTV.But the audio part of CMF files is coded in a proprietary format (unfortunately), that only Casio-Soft's Mobile Video Player can decode. Mobile Video Player is of course available only for Casio devices.
Now that PocketTV is available (and free), there is no advantage to using CMF rather than the open, non-proprietary and more efficient MPEG-1 format. CMF is 'dead'!
How can I make HTML links to locally stored MPEG files ? |
Click here...
How can I get smoother video on my device ? |
You can easiely re-encode your MPEG files with parameters that are optimized for your device. Check the Simple Guide for making MPEG files optimized for Pocket PC or Smartphone. The tools are free and our guide include pre-defined templates with optimized parameters.
Although we do not recommend it, you can also overclock your device:
If your device is an Xscale-based Pocket PC, try Pocket Hack Master.If your device is an ARM-based Pocket PC, you can use the free JS Overclock utility from Jimmy Software. It may be able to run your ARM-based device (e.g. iPaq) up to 236 MHz (normal speed is 206 MHz).
Although this is not documented, the JS Overclock utility also works on the Jornada 720, but only up to 221 MHz (if you set it to 236 MHz, audio ceases to work).
Remember that the battery will drain faster when you increase the clock speed. Some devices may become unstable when overclocked. Always do a full backup before overclocking your device.

Note: You need PocketTV version 0.4.11 or later. Earlier versions of PocketTV did not work on ARM Handheld PC's.
What is MPEG ? |
MPEG stands for... Moving Picture Experts Group |
MPEG-1 is the simplest of the MPEG formats, and it is well adapted for computer displays. MPEG-1 is the only video format truely compatible between all computer types (Windows, Mac, Linux etc), and it is also one of the most efficients: files are smaller for the same quality.
MPEG is to video what MP3 is to music! |
You can check the following sites for more information on MPEG:
If you have video files coded in various proprietary video formats (AVI's, MOV's, VCD's, DVD's), it is easy to convert then in standard MPEG format.
What is the problem with the NEC / Packard Bell Pocket Gear 2030 ? |
When running PocketTV on a device that has the faulty ROM, you will get the following message:
Fatal Application Error.
Application PocketTV.eve has performed an illegal operation and will beshut down.
You can check the ROM version by doing a soft reset (press the reset button). When you reset the device, the ROM version displayed should be SQWWER18 or higher. If you see a lower version number, you have an incorrect ROM and some applications will not work.The faulty ROM prevents the routine KernelIoControl(IOCTL_HAL_GET_DEVICEID, ...) from working properly.

What is the problem with the Casio E-200 ? |
Casio provides a software update that corrects the problem. If you have a E-200, it is strongly recommended that you download and install this update.
You can download the E-200 update from the following Casio pages:
- Casio USA Download Page.
- Casio Europe Download Page.
The E-200 update is called 'E-200-Pocket TV Fix' or 'CASSIOPEIA Pocket PC 2002 Update File Version 1.00'. The file to download is a zip archive called PPC2002updt100.zip.
To open zip archives, you can use WinZip, StuffIt Expander or ExtractNow.
Installation of the E-200 update: First you should make a complete backup (just in case something goes wrong). Then you should follow the installation instructions from Casio (see readme.txt in the zip archive).
When installing the update on your E-200, you may be asked if you want to replace the system file ddi.dll. You must answer Yes.
VERY IMPORTANT!: You MUST reset your E-200 IMMEDIATELY after installing this update (i.e. while the device is STILL in the cradle).
PocketTV will run significantly faster when the E-200 update is installed.
What is the problem with the Mitac Mio 8380 ? |
You can correct the problem by installing the unlock patch provided by Mitac (available soon) on their Mio website:
- Mio 8380 page (in chinese)
- Mio 8380 page (in english).
- Mio 8380 Unlocking Service (in english, available soon)
If you had installed PocketTV before installing this Mio patch, start PocketTV and select Menu > More > Files > File Associations, then click OK. This will correct the PocketTV registry settings.
What is the problem with the Mitac Mio 8390 ? |
You can solve the problem by using one of the following two methods:
- GAPI to GDI wrapper
This method is easy to install, but PocketTV will not perform very efficiently with this method, and 'Fast Video', if it is available, it will not be any faster (PocketTV will always use GDI).
- GAPI Signing Pack
This method is a little bit more complicated but there is a nice tutorial in the package that explains all the steps involved. Games and Video applications (including PocketTV) will work perfectly once signed by this method. Once signature has been performed, select 'PocketTV Menu > Options > Settings > Fast Video' for optimum performances.
For PocketTV Classic, you do not need to sign PocketTV.exe and tGetFile.dll, they are already signed as needed.
For PocketTV Enterprise Edition, you must sign both PocketTV Pro.exe and tGetFile.dll, located in the folder Program FilesPocketTV Pro on the device.
How can I hide the Taskbar when playing Fullscreen on Handheld PC ? |
To fix the problem, you should download and install the latest version of PocketTV from thePocketTV Download Area.
If you don't want to upgrade now, here is how to correct the problem:
To hide the Taskbar, use Start>Settings>Taskbar and uncheck 'Always on top'.
The Taskbar will disapear. To bring back the Taskbar, just type CTRL+ESC.
Alternatively, you can use the 'Auto Hide feature'. The Taskbar can then be brought back by tapping at the very bottom of the screen, or by typing CTRL+ESC.
Can I control PocketTV with the hardware buttons ? |
The default mapping of hardware buttons depends on the device.
V Gear Pockettv Driver Update
On Pocket PC:
- OK/Action = Toggle between Nominal Size and Fit Screen
- UP = Volume up
- DOWN = Volume down
- RIGHT = Play / Pause seek forward
- LEFT = Rewind (only when Paused, to prevent accidental rewind)
V Gear Pockettv Driver Free
- OK/Action = Turn Fullscreen on/off
- UP = Volume up
- DOWN = Volume down
- RIGHT = Seek forward
- LEFT = Seek backward
On Handheld PC, use the UP, DOWN, LEFT and RIGHT cursor keys on the keyboard.
PocketTV 0.6.6 and later versions have an option to customize hardware button mapping.
Is PocketTV compatible with JS Landscape ? |
If you have an older version of PocketTV, just install the latest version (it is free). Check Release Notes for the latest version available.
The only minor problem still there is that PocketTV Fullscreen/landscape mode currently works with only one landscape orientation, while JS Lanscape 2.0 supports both orientations. So in some cases you'll have to rotate your device 180 degres to watch fullscreen video if you are using the other orientation with the JS Landscape driver. We'll try to fix that some day!
What does the Dither option do ? |
The Dither option enables a dithering algorithm that improves significantly the image quality, particularly on devices like iPaq 3600 series or Jornada 540 series that have only 4096 colors (12-bit). There is virtually no performance loss caused by the Dither option, so you should normally keep it selected all the time, especially with the iPaq.
What does the Microdrive option do ? |
The Microdrive option reduces significantly the power used when playing MPEG files from an IBM Microdrive but it also allocates larger cache memory buffers. You should set this option only to play from a Microdrive on battery power. Set this option before opening the file.
When will you have PocketTV for SH3 H/PC WinCE 2.0 ? |
Never. PocketTV is not available for SH3 H/PC WinCE 2.0 devices, sorry. No, we have no plans to support those old SH3 H/PC WinCE 2.0 devices in the future.
