I'm trying to figure how bandwidth is used by the different software stored on my Touch Pro - while programs like SBP GPRS Monitor can show usage, it doesn't show what programs use how much bandwidth. It's thus impossible to figure out if something in the background is using the link when it's not supposed to.
i also have this request? anybody can give a guidance
spb gprs monitor (now called spb wireless monitor) has been updated and will do what you want. i use it and love it - very useful

I think I may have settled on the final set of programs I need for the XDA2....
On today screen:
SPB GPRS monitor (nice even if You have unlimited GPRS)
Bluetooth Tools 1.1.0.0
Phone Dashboard (IP dashboard was better but caused the system to hang too much)
Pocket Plus
OmegaOne Journalbar with expansion pack
Other programs:
OmegaOne Calc-1 (great calculator)
ThemeKing
Pocket Controller
Resco Explorer & Registry editor
VO Shopping list
Pocket Informant 5.02 ( still not 100% sure) may try ACT or Fusion
So whats everyone's opinion? Am I missing something? or are there even better programs to be had?
Well great pack but i guess it just depend on oyur main exploitation of a PDA phone
some will prefer communication software for emailing browsing or connecting to their office
some other will use it to enhance navigation with GPS or trafic assistance software
some other my be more oriented in office suite....
or why not games, who knows.
But i m sure your right on one point there are a set of software that are significant for a pda phone
i think of gprs monitor, soft like pocket plus and BT tools of course.
my personnal softwares are
pocket plus
gprs monitor
BT tools
pocketirc
pocket informant with the PIToday plugin
ezwap 2.5 (cause i work in mobile site developements)
Tomtom navigator
and that is nearly all what i need
anyway you make me discover a new calculator i didn t know about thanks
That ll be great to have an exhaustiv list of all softaware and brands cause that 's not that easy to buy the right one, so small but so expensive
and sometimes i discover freeware that are much more powerfull thant sofwares i paid for.
Well that was my long point of view
cheers

Can anyone recommend a Phone Profile switcher as either a Today plug-in or bottom tray icon?
I've seen mention of the free Winmobileapps Phone Profiles http://www.winmobileapps.com/device/pocketpc/plt/plt.aspx but I was hoping to find a profiler which could read my calendar and switch into meeting mode automatically.
I found exactly that in another free application called PPC Profiles Pro, but this thread from the developer mentions this software wasn't designed for WM5.0 and may not work properly: http://www.modaco.com/MDA-Vario-and-PPCProfiles-t232911.html
I guess I don't mind paying for an application that can switch profiles and autoswitch when I want it to, but free or not - any suggestions?
You may want to give PhoneAlarm a try...

Yes phonealarm and pocketzenphone should do what you want, PZP at http://www.pocketzenphone.net/PZPForum/index.php
PPC Profiles does work on the wizard - just I didnt like the look of it.
I use Phone profiles as it has a small footprint and easy to use. Also reminds me most of smartphone or nokia interface that I used to use so I feel at home = hopefully an update soon.
Thanks for the feedback! I installed the PPC Profiles software and agree, the interface is kludgy. I think it's just trying to do too much on the main screen. I installed the winmobileapps software and it seems just fine. I like how I can use this to go into Flight Mode, too. It will be very cool when they add wi-fi to the list of things it can control.
What's your favorite plug-in for closing apps [fully] such as Icbar, Giga Task, iTask, and HP Task Switch.
Also if you could, post a link for the download [for me and others to download and take your opinion]!!!
no love 4 me
While im sure the reason for the lack of love is due to the fact that this has prolly been asked before , I personaly like the O2 plus app for closing apps.
My Today Screen
I have played with a few Today plug-ins on my WM5 Vario II (T-Mob) and currently like this combo which as you can see is mainly Spb stuff:
Spb Mobile Shell - Nice interface with lots of features incl an excellent contacts manager.
Spb Phone Suite - profiles, photo id calling, basic comms control, notifiers
Spb Diary - calendar, messages, contacts...
Phone Dashboard - Allows easy tracking of phone and SMS use and helps you maximise (but not exceed) your monthly allowance. I am on a UK T-Mob 1Gb monthly data allowance so have no need track data but if you do then take a look at Spb GPRS Monitor which is good.
Bandswitch - (free) a very low memory tool that allows easy control of data connections, 2g/3g control. Excellent! Allows easy turn-off of data connection whilst overseas (to avoid high charges). Developed by Daniel Herrero who is working on better profile version with many more capabilities - Comm Manager Pro (CMP)
I have also used phoneAlarm (pA) and it is great. However, it is so powerful that it overlaps many of the features of the apps above and I am 'assessing' Spb Phone Suite at the moment.
I have no stability issues at the moment but did have a few lock-ups and failure to wake-up faults. I suspect that was because I had been running the betas of pA and CMP but cannot be sure.
Have fun testing..
I have a pretty "clean" today screen... i did search high and low for a good weather plug in. Found "Weather to go"... its really good. Takes up very little space and can show you up to 3 cities if you want (good for travelers).
Hi all, I have tried to search for it but was not successful. Can someone tell me if there are any FREE software that track data usage? thanks
That only one I know of is SPB GPRS monitor. It isnt free though. sorry.
SPB Wireless Monitor (new name and version to replace SPB GPRS Monitor).
Not free, but very good.
does anybody know where can I find program that can show me how long did I use internet on my phone and how much did I download or upload
The only program I know is SPB Wireless Monitor, but it's not freeware. You can download a trial here:
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pocketpc-software/wirelessmonitor
if you're running android, then 3G Watchdog is free on the market
i am runing WM6. is there a key to spb wireless monitor, or do i have to buy this product. thanks
You have to buy it. I use it and it works just fine.
all right. thanks
