Anyone using ePocrates on Touch Pro without problems?
 

I just got my Touch Pro and installed my sine qua non app, ePocrates (OTA). It appears to run fine as long as I don't install MobileCME. Once I install that, all sorts of problems occur, from DocAlerts crashing to sync failures. MobileCME fails to load/run.

This is a stock Sprint ROM (Feb 19 09 build) with nothing else installed after a hard reset (but allowing the Sprint customizations to run).

I haven't heard back yet from ePocrates support.

Any thoughts?

I use sprint stock most of the time. I tried mighty rom for a week, but it didn't have clearvue, and I haven't figured out how to turn that into a cab to transfer over. In any case, I haven't had problems with epocrates. I only use it for the medication database though. I don't use mobile cme or any of the other applications. I install it OTA with every flash (automatically). Hope this helps.

I am not having any problems with mobile CME, either with the stock ROM or with Mighty Rom. The only odd thing that happens is that I get a false message "not enough memory, some applications may not install" when I sync. But it syncs just fine. Are you installing on the device or storeage card?

Re: Anyone using ePocrates on Touch Pro without problems?
 

I should have updated this a while ago...

I contacted ePocrates support and after a couple of days they got back to me and said this was a known issue and their engineers expected a fix that day. A few hours later I got an email saying I should AutoUpdate, and voila! everything worked and has continued to do so.

To answer taruky's question, on my TP I install everything to the device. The phone has ample on-board RAM for this, and without ePocrates there's really no need for me to carry the thing around anyway. On my Mogul I installed to device memory but had all the databases on the storage card.

Uggghhh! I just unlocked my Sprint HTC touch pro and Flashed the ROM to Mighty ROM and I love it but Epocrates is no longer compatible. Any helps would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

OK. For some reason it didn't work using Opera but worked using Internet Explorer (?). Anyway it seems to be working now.

Re: Anyone using ePocrates on Touch Pro without problems?
 

Craps, I am in the same boat -- does yours just hang on Autoupdate and not do anything?

This worked for me to get epocrates running on wm6.5:

Re: Anyone using ePocrates on Touch Pro without problems?
 

I had to flash back to Mighty 4.16 and epocrates started to work again. I don't think it's compatible with Mighty 5.0

Re: Anyone using ePocrates on Touch Pro without problems?
 

Yeah, I've had ePocrates AutoUpdate hang in every 6.5 ROM I've used. I think I'll wait until there are official 6.5 devices out and push ePocrates to fix the probelm - they're pretty good about such fixes, actually.

For now, I'm using MightyROM 4/R3BORN. It's been extremely stable and faster with better battery life than stock. There are a few tiny glitches, such as menu failures in Total Commander, but these are minor problems.

Re: Anyone using ePocrates on Touch Pro without problems?
 

Yeah, but as mentioned in that thread you will basically have a static version of Epocrates, with no updating. I do the CME and read DocAlerts, so that wouldn't work for me. I've been racking my brain trying to figure out something to make it work, but with no success. Anyhow, I use SPB Mobile Shell so the 6.5 versus 6.1 ROM really makes little difference to me; it's almost like having a different operating system anyways. Only disadvantage with Mobile Shell 3.0 is the batter life is not so good.

Re: Anyone using ePocrates on Touch Pro without problems?
 

taruky, the solution is to contact ePocrates support the moment a device is officially released in the US with WM 6.5 and start pushing for an update. My experience is that they are pretty responsive in this regard. I asked them about 6.5 support a week ago and they said they were unaware that any such devices were officially available. The more users they hear from, the greater a priority this will be.

I AutoUpdate daily at 0500, both for the reasons you give (MobileCME and DocAlerts) and because I like being assured of the most up-to-date drug databases. Thus, for now it's 6.1 for me.

Re: Anyone using ePocrates on Touch Pro without problems?
 

I am back to 6.1 because I hate the start menu. I was wondering, has anyone tried using the desktop installation and activesync to update the databases? That may be a way of patching it until 6.5 officially gets released.

Re: Anyone using ePocrates on Touch Pro without problems?
 

Srudentjunk, it doesn't work, unfortunately. Tried it a while back.

Re: Anyone using ePocrates on Touch Pro without problems?
 

Just found another issue.
I was flashing the TP2 Roms and it seems that rhodium messes up my Epocrates coder as well. It used to give me options to seek by code or category and now only searches by category.
Strange.

I am hoping the release of the TP2 will get enough people to report bugs to Epocrates to get a fix. Meanwhile, back to the stock Rom for me.

Re: Anyone using ePocrates on Touch Pro without problems?
 

i was using it just fine until i did a restore after i flashed my phone. flashed, installed epocrates(which ran fine for several days) then did the back up restore for my contacts and POOF, epoc stopped working.

I found this on the Epocrates site:

Hopefully, they will get a fix soon, until then- no WM6.5 Roms for me.

Re: Anyone using ePocrates on Touch Pro without problems?
 

I emailed tech support. They plan on supporting 6.5 once it is officially released. I of course have no idea when that is. I also think it may have worked on some of the newer 6.5 ROMs, but I am not sure if I am just remembering it wrong. I hate the 6.5 start menu and the scrolling, so I have been staying away from it.

Re: Anyone using ePocrates on Touch Pro without problems?
 

Hey, just a quick update to this problem-

I just tried my first 6.5 ROM via Juicy 8 and it actually updated wirelessly!

I just played with it for a few hours but this was the first thing I did and so far so good!

Give it a try and see if it works for you guys.

Re: Anyone using ePocrates on Touch Pro without problems?
 

I use 6.1. I did notice there was a software upgrade with a recent sync.

Re: Anyone using ePocrates on Touch Pro without problems?
 

I've been using the latest beta release (but need to switch back to the release since the beta synch site is going to die soon) and haven't been messing with ROM's at all lately. I may give the most recent release a try with 6.5 and see what's up.

Re: Anyone using ePocrates on Touch Pro without problems?
 

i just loaded the latest mightyrom 6.5 and epocrates is working just fine.

Check my thread here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...ight=epocrates

ePocrates and UTD 17.1 working fine on at least my particular WM6.5.1 setup. No issues found in almost a month of use.
