There may (or may not) be other scenarios where this was a problem, but for GPS navigation, this was a HUGE issue!
Actually, before I read this post, I wasn't aware it was related to Windows Mobile / AKU2.....you see, I upgraded to a newer version of GPS navigation software (from iGuidence v2.x to 3.0) at the same time as I preformed the AKU2 ROM upgrade on my 8125. THEREFORE, while I have been heavily impacted by the issue, *I* thought the issue was related to the new version of iGuidence! Its been on my to-do list for some time to contact iGuidence support about it, but now I'm glad I never got around to it!
Your post made it clear what really was going on! And it made me realize that *I* wasn't the only one suffereing with this problem. Wow....thanks so much!!! My work-around to date was to increase my passwor time-out to two hours or so whenever I needed to use GPS (falls under tha catagory of poor password policies). The worst part is, IF your WM5 AKU 2 device was hooked up to any exchange box (hosted or not), you're FORCED to utilize a password (which, again, ultimately is a good thing, except in relationship to this problem).
Now, I haven't needed a Pocket PC registry editor in some time, so I'm not current on which ones are the best / most inexpensive for WM5.....can anyone make any suggestions? Soon I'll make that registry change and kiss that problem goodbye! (at least until I make any lock "changes" again). Hopefully soon, someone will make a utility to toggle this, or even better Microsoft will offer some sort of fix!
Thanks again!
