Few Questions From Forum Newbie! (Ip, ActiveSync and Skins!) - Networking

Hi all! Been reading for for about a month. Sites saved my life about 5 times now, but have a few questions i couldn't find, so hoping someone could point me in the right direction! :wink:
I'm using a XDAiis. Less than a month old. Removed that o2 icon and stability is up 110%. I use the WiFi allot in my home, but as a Network engineer by trade, would like to see and perhaps change my Ip address and other settings and so forth. Is their any FREE 3rd party apps, or perhaps a Pocket PC Version on command prompt?
Also, i've seen a few people mentioning using active sync over the WiFi. couldn't find a thread explaining how to do this, as i can't seem to work it out :?: (Must be doing something wrong :wink: )
And lastly, are their any sites where i can download dialer skins? As all i have at the moment is the o2 and Windows defaults.
Thanks in advance to anyone who read this!...

Pocket IE cache and Rom 4.00.05 ENG

My \Windows\Temporary Internet Files is empty and when viewing a previously visited page it is reloaded from the net.
EzWAP is reloading from cache properly whats wrong with PIE?
Anyone else experiencing this?
Is there some setting I am missing?
Appreciate if anyone can enlighten.
Anyone?
I hate to pay $$$GPRS for pages ive already seen
:!: AH HA! :shock: I knew it :evil: ....Just kidding I have no idea really
Try downloading this:
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=2724
The trial period will let you run the program 3 times try changing the location of your Temp Int Files. This should rewrite the registry in this department.
You will also need to download these files and install them first for this app to work with 2003:

Let me know if this does not help. I find it very hard to believe that the service providers changing ROM images would do this just to run up your GPRS bill :twisted: .....or do I? :wink: I mean what are you going to do....it's like complaining to the hotel that the soaps you took home in your suitcase gave you a rash. I hope the service providers are using this forum as a cheep high-end and consumer test group learning from the posts, what tweaks need to be made to their ROM version to get it on the level with what the consumers are going to be expecting before they release it 8) this is the smartest use of such a resource. Plaguing it only hurt them in the long run and builds bad faith and dissatisfaction with a product before it ever goes to market Sure fire way to quash those future sales :shock: they might be hoping for :wink:
Cheers,
Thanks erickbryce will try if all else failed.
Anyone else have this problem with 4.00.05 or its just me?
I may just try 4.00.10. A pity because everything else with this rom is just great.

Baby steps please, people!

Afternoon all
Have had my XDA Exec now for quite a while and have learned quite a bit from reading this site every so often.
Still, there is much I would love to be able to do, the most important of which is switch my internet back on!! (I miss the sports results when on my commute!)
I was advised on many ways to speed up the use of the Exec - thanks everyone who contibuted, it is much appreciated.
The only thing I miss from having reset my machine to corporate mode is that the internet does not work.
Is this supposed to happen? I suppose more importantly - can it be changed without having to go back to personal mode?
I cannot express how compuer illiterate I am - please just take it for granted that there are better educated rocks.
To this end - please be gentle!
I realise there is going to probably be some sort of line of code I will have to change or a download I will have to put into operation.
I know it is a lot to ask, but would anyone be so kind as to give me the most basic way of getting this to work?
Much appreciated
Rich
I do not know how to do this, but if you are after an answer to your question then use a better thread name (use the thread 'edit' option)....
e.g.
How do I enable Internet access in Corporate mode?
You do not have the connection settings installed.
Either a) Phone up O2 and ask them to send them to you as a SMS over the air update.
b)Log onto the O2 website and get the step by step instructions there
or c) Look here

My desktop

Hi all,
Im the happy owner of the Qtek 9100 and Im a newbie in this area. Ive been searching around in this forum and can see that there are some awesome people here who really know thier **** ;-)
Well the more I read the more confused I get regarding programs etc etc and I really need some guidance regarding how I actually create a desktop on my Qtek which is similar to the one you might find on a pc ?
I really would like to have ikons on the desktop so that I dont have to navigate through the start menu.
Can anyone help me ? I am a very huge fan of free software and hate to download trial versions
Let me know what software I need and were to find it. Youre more than welcome to catch me ny msn on [email protected]

Check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=42913
This is quite good though not free - http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/products.php?prod=WisBar+Advance+Desktop
Works like a PC desktop - bit slow performance in places though.

Best FREE software to make it desktop like with icons...
go to www.pocketpcfreeware.com (or pocketpcfreewares.com cant remember sorry)... but do a search for cLauncher. it is a sweeet program. and it is free. it gives you menu's and lets you put icons in those menus (all on the today screen).
PocketWeather isn't bad eithor for a free weather forcast on your today screen.

Call Timers

Hi all,
I've been searching a while around Google and the Freeware sites, even on here but cannot find what I'm looking for. I can't even find a commercial version for that matter.
I'm looking for something that does for Free Minutes what GPRSMonitor does for GPRS connections.
I would like something that keeps track of my contracts monthly minutes that I use and will then reset itself at the beginning of each new month just as GPRSMonitor does. It would be nice if it then kept a track of charges after the free minutes are used but even the self resetting counter alone would be great.
I know I can reset the call counter on the phone but I often forget.
Does anyone have or know of anything like this?
Appreciate any help 'cos I'm fed up with searching anymore. Cheers.
I made a very simple mortscript to do something similar. It may be possible to change it so that it automatically resets the counters too. Have a look and see if it is of any use:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43547&highlight=show+call+timers
or see my ppc page (sig) which has a copy of the script
Offbeatmammal wrote a more polished .net version of it too, can be found in the thread and theres a link on my page.
Thanks for that!

Answers...
Answer to your 1st question:
There is a whole section of the Forum dedicated to Windows Mobile 6 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=380
May be worth asking away about windows mobile 6 on here. I havent had the courage to upgrade to it yet, but alot of people have, so i would recommend reading the posts here.
Also having VGA mode that seems to work, i used MvRTrueVGA_v1.3
which can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303836&highlight=TrueVGA
Or try searching using the SEARCH function and select advance, and then put in TrueVGA choose to search the ATHENA forums only and a few options will appear.
Hope this helps you out, as after all, thats what this forum is here for.
Hey, thanks alot for that, I tried the wm6 update and tried it, its prepared, the % came up then stopped and told me
The update utility cannot be used on your pda phone. please check your update utility. Im using activesync 4.5 and my phone is uk t-mobile ameo.
There is now no software on my phone and i cannot use it?
please can someone help even to get it back to how it was?
thanks
matteus
