Lots of n00bie questions

Hi to all, have had my xda 2 for a couple of months now, starting to play with it and have a few questions for those in the know :wink:
So if you could help out it will be appreciated TIA
1 Under the my xda>connections>select country, whaen i choose UK then finish, after the restart i check and the country has returned to Germany, i get around this by not clicking finish, it works but its annoying.
2 I used to have an mpx200 when i recieved email notifications from various forums i frequent it would contain the message as well, handy for knowing whats been posted without having to log on to the forum and troll through page after page, at the moment the email on the xda is truncated, is there a way around this ??
3 I know there are other browsers out there for the xda2 but can anyone recommend a good one that will resize pages so that i dont have to scroll horizontally to read forum reply's etc etc
Thats about it for now, sorry to be so long winded, any and all help is appreciated, TIA

If you go into Mail accounts, click on the Account tab and click on your POP3 account, follow Next, Next, Next, then Options, finally Next, Next again - you should get Options (3/3).
Here you'll find a dropdown where it should for you say Get message headers only, with the a tick in Include 50k or something. Change the dropdown to Get full copy of messages, and you'll also notice the tickbox is now disabled. This should download the full content of emails when you next try.
Not sure about the Germany thing, and also the internet explorer. You have tried to use the Fit To Screen option in IE's View menu? Usually does the trick for me.

Screen Size in I.E.
Hi,
I use a product called ThunderHawk. You can download a demo.
Its about as close to desktop web access as you are likely to get.
Hope this helps.

Location Based Information - Cell Lookup

I have a hermes and wasnt to use PhoneAlarm to switch profiles depending on the cell that I am in.
I have got the app working but no cell information is coming up.
I did read somewhere that you have to change a couple of registry values to "de-restrict" the phone to allow this information to work.
Any ideas anyone?
Please let me know of anything else I can try to get this working....
Thanks
Mark

I havent done any reg tweaks to get it working...the location system must be enabled by ticking the box, then you must go through a kind of TRAINING period where you assign the cells you travel through to different locations, home...work etc..., in the automatic profile switching part of phonealarm (the orange icon in the profiles section) thats where you say what to do when you are in a certain location (again...home...work etc).
Works a treat on my TyTN.
P.S: You must have the full purchased version for it to work.

I have the full version. I am doing the following but it isn't showing an cell information:-
Under Options goto Addon
Select Location Service
Click Setup
Nothing displayed in Time/CellID or Group
Click Edit Groups
Click Groups drop down box - Nothing listed
Click Add, doesn't do anything..
I am missing something or doing something wrong. Surely it would pick up the cell that I am currently in?
Thanks

The location based switching doesnt work unless you pay for it. But its a great program i recommend buying it

[ConnState V1.3] Connection State plugin - Localization added

Maybe someone could find this interesting...
While I find cumbersome to find out the (for instance) IP addresses assigned to the device, or frustrating when Internet Explorer cannot find any web page because the current connection is the WRONG one...
... I ended up writing my own Today Screen plugin to display more information on the active connection. Yeah, I know this is not quite a "common" requirement, but maybe someone finds it useful... or even can suggest further improvements - that will be of course welcome!
I've attached some screenshots of it running on both a WM5 emulator and my real Hermes running WM6 - thanks Schap!
Please, feel free to use it, redistribute it, add to a ROM kitchen, or cook it into any ROM...
Updated August, 13th...
More changes with the 1.3 version. Now localization has been added. I'm currently shipping this version with English (native) and Spanish languages. I've also added a ZIP file with a little document where you can find instructions to localize/translate ConnState to your preferred language and a template localization file for English.
Hasta la vista!!!!
Version History:
V1.0
First version released.
V1.1
VGA screen support added (enough to make it usable)
V1.2
Completed VGA screen support.
Added expand/collapse button - per popular request
V1.3
Localization support. ConnState currently ships in English and Spanish languages.

Thanks!!! Good work.

Thanks, PPCNUT... now let's see if someone likes it!!

Of course... in fact, why didn't I think about that in first place? :$ I was thinking about leaving the plugin "collapsed" (the size of "no connection") and add a right-hand minibutton that expands the thing up to its size... And even allow tapping you on it to open another window with full details on the connection...
This weekend will be fun
Thanks alot for your comments!!!

This is actually very nice work and I would use it, once you were able to condense it into a smaller amount of space.

Dont work in VGA screen (
(tested on Universal WM6)
Hope you fix it soon.

Nice. I would definitely use this if it was 'shorter'

Totally not for noobs but if you are are a road warrior, or on the road a lot sniffing WiFi hotspots then this is really a great add on!

thanks a lot.

To all of you that took the time to try this little toy, I have just released version 1.2. Take a look at the first post with the new CAB and screenshots.
Thanks all for your comments and suggestions!
Cheers!

improvement suggestion
would it be possible to display the proxy info? this would be very useful for the Cingular users (pie does not work via cell connection without proxy and wifi does not work with proxy). thanks

Nice one, @dpduser - that's staying on my Today screen!!!
As it's a today screen plugin, can you make the Options button in the today screen configuration give us access to the things we wanna see displayed in the plugin?? I'm thinking of having the MAC addresss displayed, but wouldn't necessarily want it all the time - same goes for the connection being used; if I'm at home, then I'm usually using Wi-Fi.....you catch my drift??
Sorry if I'm talking out of turn, just my $0.02 You can probably tell, I'm not a programmer, just a netadmin with a deathwish
Mark.

VGA rocks!!!
It would be nice to have localization support in 1.3 release.
Please confirm it

Mountain King

Feedback & ongoing work
First, thanks to all of you that took the time to play with ConnState!!
For the "improvements" part, and as I have read from your feedback:
- Regarding an "Options" dialog to configure somewhat more "advanced" features, yes, I'm working on it - It just takes a little longer than expected because now I'm trying to do a more compatible component, that must support QVGA & VGA screens and has to do so both in portrait and landscape orientations (if you do it, do it right, isn't it? ) BTW... anyone out there with a SQUARE screen device?
- MAC addresses? Yeah, I guess it's feasible... I'll try to add both MAC & PAN addresses. Not obvious, somewhat tricky but absolutely feasible!
- Show proxy information: regarding this, I was amazed at how tricky it is to discover the current proxy configuration for a connection! In first place I have to deal with WM's Provisioning and do that in XML (so an XML parser has to be placed in!)
- Localization!! Of course YES!!! Now I have two options to do it: one could be to maintain a single .DLL with embedded resources in a variety of languages or I could build a number of different DLLs each one built for a language... Hmmmm... Currently deciding on it!! I can do both Spanish and English versions... What languages are required? Would you, nice people, help me localizing this?

I'm Vietnamese so that I like to see my mother language display on my PPC.
In addition, it'd be cool if I could translate the localization file by Notepad without creating a DLL file (just like Spb does).

If you need translator (in Vietnamese of course ), feel free to write me. I will help you with pleasure.
Keep up the Good work!
Thanks

Installed, working great on Hermes, except the today plug-in isn't activated by default after install. Maybe this is because of the variety of devices enabling the today-plugins, i don't know.

[APP][Update 8/31/08] Stocker - a finger freindly stock tracker

For your using pleasure.... Stocker, a finger friendly stock tracker.
Currently, you will be able to enter stocks and view the delayed trading price. Soon I will add stock history. This has been tested on my Diamond (vga), and works on the qvga emulator. Should be easy to use... Just press the right menu button. I will monitor this thread to answer questions.
And, btw... it is unsigned and required compact framework 3.5.
Update 8/31/08 to version 0.3.19.0909
- added scroll area indicator
- added stock change by percentage
- corrected qvga layout a bit
- added extended view including stock graph, volume, high, low, etc...

nice..thanks...been looking for a finger friendly stock ticker

Your welcome.

looks good... but I wish it was a Today Plugin like the Pocket StockCenter that I'm currently using.

Im using a diamond, so I dont use plugins on tf3d, but I'll add it to the list of stuff to do. Im working on an extended view (stock histroy, more info on the stock) when a stock is double-clicked, then next will be alerts. the possibilities are endless The extend view should be ready within a few days.

cool...I hope to have a Diamond someday!
The StockCenter mortscript is memory lite and very comprehensive...take a look: http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=141737

Well, I have the downloading of stock data working... Im getting a graph to work at the moment.

Great work, looks good! Will be trying out soon on my Touch.

I know that pocket stockcenter and a few others use a free today "banner" that they just send info to..this might make it easy for you to "add" a today plugin by just sending info to the banner. Nice job!

ill take a look at it. still working on extended stock info screen. mostly working, but needs polishing.

Updated. See 1st post.

looking forward in giving this a try thanks

nice been lookin for one of these

Only the US Exchanges?
G'Day,
Firstly, thank you for creating this app and secondly, thanks for sharing! Just wondering whether it includes support for stocks traded on exchanges other than the Dow or Nasdaq? Specifically wondering about the Australian (ASX) and Canadian (TSX) exchanges?
Cheers!

Hi,
Nice work man... keep updating the software with new options... thanks a lot...

tried it on the HTC Touch Pro that I bought from Vodafone yesterday and it says: THE PROGRAM REQUIRES NEWER VERSION OF .NET FRAMEWORK ....
I thought since I have a new phone everything should be up to date in there ?

Nice app !
Two small things :
1) change the ugly button !
2) a small bug on my Diamond, when I try to go back from the detailed view to the stocks list with the small arrow, I reach an error : NullReferenceException at KLOControls.SListBox.GetListItemFromEvent(Control sender)...

Thank you so much!! finally a finger friendly stock ticker app.
please keep us updated!

Just installed and tried it, and it seems to be working with toronto stocks by adding .TO to the symbol.
So for example CAE inc stocks, you could add CAE.TO for the TSX stock.

Downloading now ... Thanks for the effort!!

Hi EREZYAD, thanks
Landscape support will be part of next version.

Probably the first app, anyone should install for his WM. Once you get used to it, you can't live without it.

need a bit help
I've been searching for quite some time for the program for searching contact and handling its information, (I have over 1200 contacts), and then yesterday I found O3Touch. Though I'm still only at the start stages, I find that searching is extremely fast and resembles nothing I've seen before. What I am still having trouble understanding from the manual, is how to find a contact by its company name?

Hi Sigal
First go to settings page 1, press Search mode button until you get "Search mode contain " then close settings. Now type the name of the company and you'll see the first 4 contacts of the same company, if you have more than 4 press on what you typed on the top and you'll get all.
Greetings

Hi Sigal and welcome,
As a person that use this wonderful dialer (and much more ), for quiet a lot of time, I can tell you that you won't replace this app with any other dialer. In just 3-4 days you will be at the end of the learning stage, just use it (you don't have any other choices )
As for your question - Just search regularly as you search for names, but be sure that you are in CONTAIN mode, otherwise it will only search in name/family.
(I will explain as a TOUCH PHONE user not SMARTPHONE)
This is done in 2 ways :
1. Settings page 1/8 line 4 (touch logo button and goto Settings)
2. Start searching and touch to the right of the search string where is say "Start with", and it will change to CONTAIN, and from now will search in this mode.
If it finds more then 4 results, just touch the SEARCH STRING to list all the results.
And... if you would like to be updated in Hebrew and see whats new, goto the Freak forum at:
http://www.pocketpcfreak.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=Himalaya;action=display;num=1233437360
Enjoy!

I can say that the three of us should go to sleep now
That's what I am going to do now.
Good night everyone....

many thanx
to all who posted replies to my question; very helpful
