Esri Support is currently testing reported behavior that 'ArcGIS for Windows Mobile v3.1 attachments are not sync'd back to SDE geodatabase' although we haven't yet been able to reproduce behavior reported by users. Please see other Forums thread 'Attachments not saving', http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/73358-Attachments-not-saving?p=272823&viewfull=1#post272823. All ArcGIS for Windows Mobile users encountering the challenges with attachment synchronization to SDE geodatabase should contact Esri Support (or local International Distributor if outside of USA) so Mobile specialist can obtain the specific workflow and sample data of your reproducible case. This is the best method to help in troubleshooting and identifying any underlying causes that might be cause of the issue on your end. Some testing has been performed w/Feature Service Web Editing Tutorial sample data & workflow (enterprise GDB, supports feature services & web editing data workflows).

Pieter, Can you be more specific regarding your workflow and number of attachments? Have you contacted Esri Support or if you are outside the US, your local International Distributor? Thank you, Denise ... View more

Jacob, As Tim said, your Flint device is running Windows Mobile OS and has limited file storage and program memory, for more information see File storage & program memory section on Overview of Windows Mobile Help topic. TIP: Disabling modules or extensions that you do not use can conserve mobile device memory. This is particularly useful when running ArcPad on a Windows Mobile device. Check the Extensions tab in ArcPad Options > Advanced Settings) to see what modules & extensions are automatically being loaded by ArcPad upon startup. Uncheck the box next to the Extension(s) you wish to  turn off, and then restart ArcPad. In ArcPad 8 onwards, some less-used extensions are turned off by default on Windows Mobile only (see Extensions Help topic for list). Another option is to break your current project into multiple smaller projects and access them as you move in/out of the project areas or utilize local map tiles in your ArcPad project. See ArcPad Team Blog topics, Create Local Map Tiles & Update to Creating Local Map Tiles, v2 using ArcGIS Online sample for ArcPad v10.0.2 and higher. Cheers, Denise ... View more

Hi Julie, I recommend you submit your comment "I would like the ESRI Mobile Team to look at the fact that you can not create custom GeometryEditMethods or tie into edit method geometry collection methods." with Esri Support as ArcGIS for Windows Mobile enhancement request or you could post it on ArcGIS Ideas > Mobile GIS site for other mobile users to comment and vote on.

Esri Support and Mobile GIS Teams will soon have Dell Latitude 10 and Lenovo Thinkpad 2 tablets onsite for our own testing of these reported issues. Yet, I've been This is actually not true for Windows 8, only Windows RT. In the meantime, please see these updated Microsoft Forum thread on GPS & COM ports: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w8itprohardware/thread/3f8e22a0-52bc-431b-a901-292096b46131 Please continue to update your findings as Esri is greatly interested in these new Windows 8 Pro challenges ArcPad and ArcGIS for Windows Mobile users have encountered.

Russell, The Synchronize system clock with GPS clock (Extension dll) referenced in your post is from Feb 2003 when ArcPad v6.0 release was available & supported mobile devices with Windows CE 4.2 OS and ARM processors. I am unaware of testing w/ArcPad v10.0 release on Windows Mobile v5.0 or later OS with this extension yet these still support ARM processors. Your other post -http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/59886-OLD-EXTENSIONS-NO-LONGER-WORK-IN-ARCPAD-10?p=271523&viewfull=1#post271523 - says "I have no problem with the GPS to system clock extension...using a Juniper Archer running WinMo 5 & ArcPad 10.0 R4"; does this mean that you are now able to use the Craig's custom ArcPad extension? Also glad to see your post on ArcGIS Ideas site as that would have been my next recommendation. Cheers, Denise ... View more

Andrew, Thank you for the updated information and was sorry to hear the Broadcom standalone GPS didn't help to resolve the issue. Have you contacted Dell Support to ask if they have method of supporting COM port? You are correct in that Dell or Broadcom will need to provide Latitude 10 tablet customers with UMDF allowing Sensor API dependent GPS receivers to pass their NMEA stream to a COM port so that customers can configure the integrated GPS receiver with ArcGIS for Windows Mobile or ArcPad applications. This is because both the GPS library in the Runtime SDK for ArcGIS for Windows Mobile only supports NMEA GPS protocol and reads and parses GPS positions from a connected COM port. The COM port can be a physical serial port, a virtual COM port bound to a GPS receiver via Bluetooth or USB, or a program COM port attached to a GPS intermediate driver on Windows Mobile devices (on Windows Mobile 5.0 & newer systems). Esri Support and Mobile Teams will continue to test as resources permit and provide our test findings here. We highly encourage anyone encountering this roadblock to contact Dell and Broadcom Support for further assistance and request they provide UMDF GPS Driver for Latitude 10 tablets. Thank you, Denise ... View more

Additionally, I should have stated that this is a hardware issue and normally falls to the hardware manufacturer (Dell) to provide the fix, typically as a driver which is why I'm hoping my previous post to the GPS standalone driver download helps to resolve this issue for Dell Latitude 10 tablet owners; see GPS receiver�??s manual for information on how to set the            output GPS protocol and port communication parameters on the GPS receiver. It's not a software issue as both ArcPad and ArcGIS for Windows Mobile simply use the same GPS communication parameters set on your GPS receiver. However, Esri's Mobile & Support Teams want to assist Dell Latitude 10 tablet owners in being able to run ArcPad & ArcGIS for Windows Mobile with complete GPS functionality. Denise ... View more

All, Esri doesn't currently have Dell Latitude 10 tablet to test GPS connectivity within ArcPad or ArcGIS for Windows Mobile applications yet a test unit is on the way and we hope to test these reported behaviors as well as pre-established ArcGIS standard testing scenarios. Furthermore, Esri Support has actively researched these reports and found recent additions to Dell's Driver Download site including Dell BIOS uploaded 2/1/2013 and Dell Driver for Broadcom BCM47511 Standalone GPS Solution http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/04/DriverDetails/Product/latitude-10-tablet?driverId=P0P15&osCode=W832&fileId=3094635676 and then follow the instructions in Dell Support article #117682: Set Up, Use & Troubleshooting GPS Using the Dell Location & GPS Utility (unsure if this helps your situation, but need someone w/Latitude 10 tablet to test and report findings). Recommend Dell Latitude 10 tablet owners visit Dell Drivers & Downloads and install applicable driver updates after determining updated driver is needed from steps in Dell Support Document #266495: How to get the Latest Driver Updates for your Dell. Suggest subscribing to Dell Technical Emails via Dell Driver Download Manager FAQs for latest updates. Please follow this post for more information, Denise ... View more

All, David is out of the office for the next 2 weeks so I'd suggest visiting Esri Professional Services site for additional information on various types of services available from Professional Services.  You can also use the Esri Partner Directory Search tool to locate a company that customizing ArcPad, http://www.esri.com/partners/apps/search/index.cfm?fuseaction=search. Better is Gareth's links to current Esri Partners who do specialize in customizing and developing ArcPad as they are very familiar with the product and workflows of ArcPad users such as yourself.
