As a recent Atom owner (using the new test rom) I was wondering if anyone might be able to help with a couple of questions.
Firstly, I was just wondering what people were using for their alarm's. At the moment I'm using the standard one which comes with the Atom and like the way you can choose multiple alarms for different days (seems a better idea than just the one setting using O2 media plus) but wouldn't mind being able to select a different alarm tones etc.
Similarly for text message alerts, is there any way/program to customize this away from the pre-set one.
Finally (sorry for so many questions) although I can seem to connect to my wireless router fine (for internet), I can't seem to access my desktop (to browse files, use stored media etc.). Is there a program I need to do this, or should I be able to browse to it from the file explorer ?
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give.
go to start, settings, sounds and notifications, Notifications
Use the pull down menu to choose different sounds etc.
For the alarm you go to where you set alarm and click the speaker it will give you choice of tones.
You can upload to your phone wav files to use as tones, search the net for what u want and upload to the windows/ring directory
Sooz ... thanks again, just trying to decide what sound will wake me up now.
Any ideas on the wireless network access thing ?
you need to have activesync installed on your pc download the latest one from Microsoft.com
once installed it will prompt you to connect the phone etc and away you go
there is an explore in active sync or just use windows file manager to get there, but you need to copy and paste items to phone not drag them
Cheers
Thanks for your reply, however I was looking for someway to browse the host computer from the Atom (to access shared media etc.) or alternativly see and control the desktop's screen (much like the old remote control tools).
Also how are you using activesync over Wifi ... I thought microsoft disabled this due to some sort of security concerns ?
Use Resco Explorer
If you want to directly connect to a PC share from the Atom, use Resco Explorer. It allows you to "map" to network shares and browse them directly from the Atom.
Thanks for that ... looks like quite a nifty little program (which has now replaced my standard file browser).
Don't suppose there's been any luck on being able to sync via wifi. Not so sure I understand why Microsoft had this removed but left in the ability to sync over bluetooth. Always thought wifi was more secure ? Odd.
Hi, I am not normally a software developer (normally a web developer) but I have written a program in vbs which I need to be able to send files via activesync to my PDA. I have asked around and no one seems to know of a way to do this in vbs. Does anyone out there know of a way to get activesync to transfer a folder to the phone without having to litterally drag and drop the files your self. It would be great if there was a way I could call an exe to transfer the folder e.g.
activesync-transfer.exe "the directory to take files from" "the directory to put files in on the phone"
Or if there is a function in vbs it would be even better. As I say I have never done anything like this before so I am really needing some help. Any ideas, no matter how wacky appreciated. Thanks in advance

whats wrong with copying the files normaly using explore in activesync or using mobil devices in my computer?
Er, would you really like to your application which is designed to store data and export it to your PDA to pop up saying: "BTW, I've no idea how to program this part so could you just open up that slow old program called active sync, hit explore and then browse to this directory and then copy the files to this directory from this other one"? Not really, I would like this process to be automated if possible.
Please if anyone can help, let me know.
You can copy a file from desktop to pda with RAPI and the
CeCopyFile() function to create a file on the pda.
Then open the file on the desktop and copy the content
to the new pda file.

Er, sorry if this seems a little ignorant of me. Is this a vbs function? As I said earlier I'm not the most experienced desktop programer. Thanks for your help.
Jamie
I am C++ programer. This is a ActiveSync Remote API function. I think you can call this function from vbs with some work but I do not how, dont have knowledge with vbs. sorry.
Houser
Another way could be to use the ActiveSync file synchronisation.
You can configure ActiveSync to sync a folder on the desktop with
one folder on the pda.
So your vbs app must only copy/create files in the desktop folder
and AS will sync them to the folder on the pda.

I was doing this for a bit but not many people have it set up and not all devices support it. In the end I used Microsoft's Cecopy and other apps from their Windows Mobile Power Toys to do it. However, I can't distribute these EXEs with my software as they are copyrighted by microsoft. If you ever hear of any freeware EXEs that do pretty much the same thing please let me know.
I need two apps:
Cecopy - copies files to and from the device (including sub directories)
RAPI_Start - starts files on the device
Thanks

ah ah!! i see!! thank you!
Re the problem with synching:
Start>Programs>Activesync>Menu>Options>Settings. Choose what you want from here.
If I recall correctly you can select merge from the activesync options on the laptop or PC that you are using also.

I have no problems syncing my mogul with my laptop but when I try to put files back on, it's a hassle. Maybe because I never really understood how it works so I'm asking you guys for your help please. Thanks!
I don't have my manual to read on it also.

what's your question?
My question is, can you explain to me how to xfer files back and forth and sync without creating another file that my computer likes to do.

What type of file are you trying to move back and forth?
ActiveSync may change/create new files in the case of certain types as defined under the file conversion settings (ActiveSync --> Tools --> Advanced Tools --> Edit File Converstion Settings) I think you have to configure this with the device connected.

Hi,
I want to keep my laptop desktop folder syncronized with hd2.
How can we chose a complete folder with every files in it (not only several files), to syncronize via autosync.
Secondly on syncronization hd2 is keeping the files in device. How can we address it to send files to storage card?
Thanks all.
thats all possible with windows mobile device center.
look at it carefully and you'll find the right options....

my Dear friend,
I am already actively using wmdc for syncronization of several files and email accounts.
After your advice I double checked, but still you can only chose files. not folders.
Please kindly show me the way if you can do.
Best wishes.
I don't know how much this may help.
If you connect your phone as a external drive, you can use the free M/S SyncToy v2.1 (yes I know it is a bit of a duff name, but it does the job really well). There is also quite a bit of flexibility in syncing.
thanks for advice.
I will keep it in mind.
hope there is a way to do it via Autosync.
