Hey guys,
I am currently working on an article for a huge computer magazine. The name of the article will be something like "The best hacks for Windows Mobile Smartphone". Yap, i know ... you may now say ... use the search function dude. wink.gif But thats not why i am asking for your help. I know enough hacks to write this article, but i dont know what hacks you guys consider as eminently important.
With hacks I mean stuff like cool registry tweaks (example: moving temp internet files to storage card) or small freeware programs that help you to get most out of ya phone (example: omapclock).
Please help me and tell me your favorite hacks. The more, the better. But any help is very much appreciated. smile.gif And if you help me with my article you also help the windows mobile community. Always keep that in mind. wink.gif
there are a few that come to mind ...the registry wizard does a really good job of doing all the tricks for you ...as well as the unlocked program. I guess the best hack if u want to call it that is enableing 802.11g on the wizard ...atleast thats what it was for me ....
BTW which magazine you plan to write this for ...2600 ?
i think the most important one has to be the custom roms available here. other than that one it would have to be overclocking, sim and cid unlocking, and bluetooth headset
yeah bigdooky your right ...I forgot about those thx
Hi there!
I might have missed any other threads discussing the following but unfortunately I couldn't find a related topic by searching for the term security. Actually, the search function didn't return anything when entering the string "security". Anyways, let's get started:
A friend of mine recently got a HTC Legend and told me a very intersting story. When installing a simple battery app, the installer asked him to gain permission to access his contact list, his gps coordinates and many other things. This made me currious in terms of: is there any way in WinMo enabling the same permission check before installing an application?
Regards,
Zoimt
Nope, I don't think so.
You may enable the security policy that will ask you every time you run a new cab or file, but still it won't show you what "connections", "resources" or "devices" does the app use.
That is weak, very weak and disappointing... I wouldn't care at all if I hadn't got mobile internet just recently. This actually is a no-go. I gotta get rid of this windows crap this instant. But on the other hand, this just sounds typically windows to me...
There isn't any piece of software that can do such things like monitoring which service accesses what resources? I better have a closer look at the WinMo api, smells like money. I just need people to get as scared as I'm right now...
::Edit::
Jeees, I just saw that I posted this in the wrong forum. I want to excuse for that, must have missclicked, wanted this to appear in the Software forum. Please forgive me peeps. Have a nice!

Try Spb Wireless monitor, also WMLongLife has some monitoring features.
I use Dialup Enabler/Disabler to disable my 3G connection when I don't need it so I do not pay at all.

No problem for me, I'm not a mod to judge this
Well the Android security system is little more enhanced here. but at the end of day it there's no mechanism to give you 100% security.
Sure you can refuse to install a wallpaper app that asks for your location permissions. but if you install some location aware app then there's no guarantee that it doesn't collect your private data and upload it on some websites....
First I'd like to ask my co-filipinoes.. im a Globe subscriber and i want to know the Internet settings for my unit so i can use my Internet without wi-fi.
Second.. can i also use Windows/Android on my mobile?
sorry maybe this has been posted lots of times im just new here thanks.
Actually there IS windows installed on your phone. And no, no Android port (yet?) released.
yup what i mean if maybe it can be rebooted to android..
do you know any free third party app for YM? thanks
As long as Android isnt ported to our device we cant run it in any way. We'll have to wait 'till a port comes out.
Free apps can be found all over the internet. For example; http://www.freewarepocketpc.net
No HTC Weather and no navigator Copilot. Camera looks like crap also.
I just upgraded to W7 not because i wanted to but because I got so sick and tired of 6.5 not working. Not a thing I could do, 3/10 times I had to reset.
But Now where is all the applications? Where is the HTC weather application and the games and everything else my phone use to have. Maybe I am missing something or it is so obvious i have not seen it. BUt I want my home page to display critical info like it did in htc with 6.5. And I need my navigator maps back also. Co-pilot cannot find any navigators anywhere.
And is there a work around for the market place issue.

read the stickied threads in this forum and all questions will be answered.
Here is the short answer.
You can get full Live services working (with Market access) to download all of the apps you want with the simple tutorials in this forum

you can use navigon with uk maps.
New camera full resolution is available plus htc weather is downloadable also you can get the weather channel on app market.
Wp7 is excellent for my hd2 you just need to search & yee shall find my friend.
HTC weather app link
Do you have a direct link to download the HTC weather. I use this app a lot as I do photography in different countries.
either download HTC Hub after you get marketplace access or just flash this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944995
it's cooked into the ROM, as is chevron etc.. so all you have to do to get market access is call MS and get a code.
God help u another issue
Now that problem has a solution I have to spend 3 years in PhD School just to sync the dam thing. Why would i want my contacts and agendas in cyberspace? Sensitive info is between outlook and my phone.
These guys are forcing us into a place I am not comfortable with. Too much is syncing with too much. I visit Imdb and all my friends know. I go to the toilet and it comes up on skype "In the toilet"
Soon they will just digitize us into F.B.
More reading existing threads and less *****ing please.
I am venting because I though technology should make it easier. Drop the device on the cradle it syncs and that is that. Why is it so hard to sync. Why change a good thing? I have no idea why improve trivial things like the aesthetic and lose the things business people need (the entire reason for the smart phone is not music and videos)
I can vent cant i?
My Business HTC has now become a Toy Iphone, better at music than anything related to work. I think after reading the sync issue is a deal breaker, let me get this thing off my phone I have work to do.
http://www.companionlink.com/windowsphone/outlook/
maybe a fix for the sync issue
bravo.... afraid of syncing with the cloud, and solve it by syncing with g**gle? lol...

I think in your case its going to be alot longer than 3 years!
You've just installed an OS on your phone that you know nothing about, did you not think of doing a little bit of "reading" about WP7 before you put it on your phone
I'm not going to tell you whats just happened to your SD card
honestly why did they make it so hard?
Why force people to depend on the internet?
Why stop all the features that made me get rid of my Iphone.
Yes the UI is a dream, and 6.5 was a punishment but the good thing was flexiblity. Drop stuff on your SD card. And what happens when you are in some strangers house and need to give them a photo or a file?
Document sync needs another PhD.
I am on teh fence cuz I like the user interface because it works so fast and clean.
W7 the best way to convert your Business HTC into an Iphone.
I read about it, and the reviews didnt tell me about the sync issue or the office issues. Would it be so stupid to assume that a bloody smart Phone (i.e not a stupid phone) should be able to sync with easy. Now I have owned every smart phone known to manking even the good old Psion and the XDA o2, for the first time I have seen a smart phone turn into a normal phone.
Sell the phone, leave this forum. It will only mean fewer pointless spam threads like this one for the rest of the members who actually are able to read.

You can set WP7 to sync that stuff automatically with your skydrive. You can just give people the URL...
@ chumaj001 if you dont like a thread why are you replying Is communism forcing you to make useless remarks? NEVER understand these kind of people. You dont like it but you feel good by talking trash. Some of us actually buy these phones for their applications in the real world not for gadget boys toys.
I do have the solution to all you problems.....
Send me your HD2 and I will give you my old Nokia 6110 phone. It has no issues at all and does a great job calling and receiving calls. Seems perfect for your needs and level,
Cheers !

XDA isnt the place to complain about Microsoft products.

I am sure the CEO will do something about it just for you.
guys,
my ease of access feature dose not appear in my setting. i search the net but i did not find any thing related to this subject. how can i get the ease of access setting back..
i have Omnia 7 set to US market and it is really strange
Same Here!
I had it before Mango and now it's missing.
Did you guys work this out at all?
On my sammy omnia 7 (mango) I've unlocked it and put in the settings to enable the hidden feature in the ease of access menu...but...the actual ease of access entry on the settings menu still doesn't appear at all.
Any help much appreciated ;-) Would even donate a tenner for this one and hope some others would too
Ahhhhaa here we go,

unfortunately though...unless you want to use USA as display language, and enjoy the voice out of the handset only, not headset ... it's not quite ready for prime time imho. But oh so close.
The text reading aloud etc is much more mature it seems.
So now I say, willing to donate if anyone can get the audio to route to a bt headset ;-)
