Graph drawer - Touch HD General

Can anyone suggest a software for graph drawing, both mathematic (functions, ...) and normal graph (used for reports and/or surveys). Also please recommend me some productivity softs. Thanks guys

i know that panoramic calcpro and hicalc both support wvga and can draw mathematcal graphs.
unfortunately both aren't freeware afaik.

I highly recommend Spacetime, the best math graphing program you can imagine . Running like a charm on Touch HD, but not free.
SoftMaker Office is fully Word/Excel compatible, including business graphs !

VGA Calculator

Pls., recommend a simple good looking in VGA mode calculator.
The installed one doesn't look good. I have also tried 1-Calc of Omegaone, but in VGA mode it doesn't strech itself.

I use Calc98 by Flow Simulation. Requires tweaking the view settings to enlarge the keybord, but it ends up being very finger-friendly. I can supply the settings I use if anyone wants them.
I am long-time used of HP12C - the World's best ever calculator for finance geeks like me. Thankfully it is also available in WM land - called Pocket 12C SE

I use HiCalc. It has diferent modes and VGA friendly, even works with Real VGA at 96 dpi.
Yea HiCalc has my vote too, it comes with loads of applications, currency converter, units converter to your hearth content..loads, and looks OK in VGA
After some extensive search and trials, I had chosen HiCalc. If anyone has tried it but chosrn a different calculator, I'd been interested to know. I'm open minded to even better ones.

Sport Tracker?

Hi, Does anyone know of a really good sports type gps tracker software?
I'm a keen cyclist and i'm sure there are lots of other outdoor types who would welcome a good, easy to use application with a full feature set. Samsung have just launched a phone with this in mind, Nokia already have one so it must be a growing market.
I had a Nokia N80 and downloaded Their Sports Tracker application and it was great. Just the stuff you needed - Timers, average speed, max/min speed, altitude, climing speed etc, even took out standing time (i think). You could upload to google maps if you wanted which was fine but not essential.
The Samsung mentioned earlier has music too geared to your activity.
I've tried lots of PPC apps like tracky and trackme and GPS tuner but the just dont seem to fit the bill, they are either too heavy and complicated and use too much memory or they are too simple with not enough usefull data.
I'm really suprised Windows mobile haven't got a better app for this - or maybe there is and I just don't know it yet.
Any Ideas - suggestions?
Roger
i agree, Nokia's Sports Tracker is GREAT !! no WM application can do that kind of stuff for now for FREE !!
so developers here is niche app to develop and get famous !
I think run.gps is really great, but it's not free.
Hi, do you only check for free app ?
If not you can try Run.GPS, very nice and perfect for many sports !

* Sorry this is so long... but recently I sent an email with apps & links to some of my friends who also have HTC phones, so I figure it's just easier to simply paste the text heree. *
Hello HTC friends!
I'm sending this email to some of you who I know have HTC PDAs, or may be getting one at some point. Over the few months that I've had my phone, I've received a few tips on good applications from some people, and have discovered several myself. So I thought it might be a good thing to send out an email to my friends that summarizes some my favorites, in the interest of sharing knowledge & experience for those who might find something you're looking for (or didn't even know you were looking for!).
First of all, it should be noted that I've found several of these tools / applications / customizations at a website called xda-developers.com. It's a site dedicated so HTC -branded phones *specifically*. I mostly use it by searching their forums for answers to questions, and looking for applications or basic tweaks:
http://www.xda-developers.com
Another good site for Windows Mobile devices is ppcgeeks.com:
http://www.ppcgeeks.com
I recently upgraded my phone to Windows Mobile 6.1 with the latest ROM update from HTC & Sprint, so a lot of these are still fresh in my head. It is also worth noting that all of the apps listed here are free; that is usually a criteria of mine when searching for new software especially for my phone.
nueLED: Turn on / turn off / redirect LED lights on your phone
This was one of the first little apps I installed. After I got my phone I noticed that it was always blinking to let me know it was "alive," and since I have bluetooth turned on all the time that light was blinking incessantly as well. I installed nueLED, configured it to disable the service LED and bluetooth LED, and now if my phone is blinking at me I know it's because it's *actually* trying to tell me something (missed call, voice mail, etc.).

Opera Mini web browser
It couldn't have been more than 2 days of using Pocket Internet Explorer before I got fed up with it and started looking for a new browser. Maybe I was spoiled by playing with my friend's iPhone, because the web browser absolutely blows away any browser I've seen for Windows Mobile. But Opera Mini is at least a step in the right direction, until someone develops something closer to the iPhone's Safari browser. I have high hopes for Firefox's version of a mobile browser, but that won't be out for a while. And although Opera Mini runs as a Java app,let I've found out how to create a shortcut for it (as well as Gmail's Java applet) so that you don't have to go through the annoying Java menus.
http://www.operamini.com/
* There's also "Opera Mobile," although I haven't tried it yet. They have a beta (currently v9.51) that is free, although I think their non-beta releases (currently v8.65) are only free for a 30-day trial. If anyone has had any experience with these, please share the knowledge!

Google Maps
This has got to be one of the coolest apps for mobile devices; a must-have. Good interface, relatively fast, great searching, and it's easy to check traffic at a glance. It also has the ability to interact with the GPS receiver if your device has one, and can give you driving directions. But it's not the best for turn-by-turn directions as you navigate if you're trying to use it with the GPS. And also be aware that any software which accesses your GPS will suck on the battery pretty good when it's turned on, which is why I only turn on the "Use GPS" feature of Google Maps sparingly.
http://www.google.com/mobile/winmo/maps/
Microsoft Live Search
Google Maps pretty much has the upper hand in most aspects: Map GUI, usability, searching, etc. However, one area Live Search seems to have Google Maps beat is turn-by-turn directions. While it doesn't include audio guidance (I haven't found a free app that does), it integrates pretty well with the GPS and will even prompt you if you go off course. Not bad for freeware. The same caveat applies for battery usage if you turn on the GPS locator.
http://mobile.search.live.com/client/download_manual.aspx
iContact: A more "finger-friendly" contacts manager
A better UI for interacting with the contacts in your address book. Originally started a while back by someone named "larna", and version 0.6 (April 2008) was good. Then after that developer didn't have any more time to devote to it, "supbro" took over and made it way better (July 2008). Now "burt" has made his "Burt Edition 6.2" (August 2008) and made some additional improvements, and now I think it's a great app. I would have recommended it even with larna's versions, but definitely now with supbro and burt's new features. It's light weight, responsive, and highly customizable. I can tell you how to set it as the default Contacts viewer, too.

OggSync: Over-the-air sync with Google Calendar
This is a nice little app which synchronizes the Pocket Outlook calendar built into your device with your Google Calendar, via the internet connection on you phone. I looked at a few other solutions, and went this one because it is free, accurate, and doesn't use a 3rd-party server as a go-between. The free version is good. They also have a paid version (yearly subscription) which includes a few additional features including scheduled syncs and multiple Google calendars. The scheduled sync would be nice, and multiple calendars maybe (maps each Google Calendar to a category) -- but not enough for me to pay for it. If you don't use Google Calendar then OggSunc is probably useless; but if you do, this app is a big winner.
http://oggsync.com/
Total Commander: A more feature-rich file explorer
Although the interface looks a little bit "old school", I use this app more than I thought I would. More options when browsing & interacting with files (geez, you can even see the actual file extension for once!), plus you get a registry editor and the ability to interact with LAN file shares (if you're connected to a network via WiFi) without having to jump through a bunch of hoops.

PPC PIM Backup: Backup personal data
This is an easy way to back up contacts, call logs, calendar entries, tasks, messages, and other files, etc. to your storage card. It's pretty light weight -- in fact there's no installation process, you just run the .exe and you're off and running. There is an optional scheduling mechanism for automatic backups; but I prefer to just use the manual backup periodically. It came in handy after flashing the latest ROM update last week.

TCPMP (The Core Pocket Media Player)
This is a nice alternative to Windows Media player, that actually plays formats beyond WMV. Fullscreen works great, and it is pretty customizable. Link to WM 6.1-compatible version below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=380387
There are also a codecs to play WMV files:
http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/local_links.php?linkid=61
and other audio formats including AC3, FLAC, Vorbis, etc.
http://picard.exceed.hu/tcpmp/test/
Flash Video Bundle: A way to play YouTube (and other) Flash videos
My friend Scott told me about this one. It is a cab installation that includes FLV codecs for TCPMP as well as a plugin for Pocket IE that allows you to save Flash videos from the youtube.com website (the non-mobile version).
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=FlashVideoBundle
YouTubePlay: Another way to save and play YouTube videos
My friend Mike showed me this other alternative. Not only will it play Flash videos like the TCPMP plugin, but it serves as a front-end for searching & saving YouTube videos. The player is good (fullscreen works nicely like TCPMP), and it seems to be a better alternative for finding YouTube videos than using a web browser.

SPB Full Screen Keyboard
I haven't tried this because the device I use (HTC Titan / Sprint Mogul) has a slide-out keyboard. But for devices that don't have a hardware keyboard, I've seen other software keyboards that are supposedly better than the ones that come standard on the ROM. One that is mentioned often is SPB Full Screen Keyboard. They have a free download, although I don't know if it's a limited functionality version or a limited time trial of the one for purchase.

The next few applications are clones/extracts/repackaged versions of some of the software that comes standard on the HTC Touch and similar devices. So for the Touch, Diamond, etc., I think these are already baked in. But for others, here they are:
FTouchFlo version 1.4.1
Software that mimic's the HTC "TouchFlo" functionality, which allows scrolling with your thumb or finger rather than having to use scroll bars. It also allows for some nice customizations, including the ability to launch different programs via directional finger swipes.

SCLPC++: Cloned version of the HTC Cube
There are a few cubes out there, and this is the one I found to be the most useful & responsive. It's also a 4-sided cube, with the last face being an additional program launcher. In truth, I don't use it as much as I thought I would now that I have it all set up and configured, but it's still pretty cool.

HTC Home Plugin / HTC Home Customizer
Large digital clock, favorite contacts, program launcher, weather, etc., on your Today screen. This can be used to configure, customize, and backup settings for the stock HTC Home as well as the custom one. Install "HTC Home Customizer v1.0 Final," and upon first use it will prompt you to install the HTC Home Plugin if you don't already have one.

If your interested, there are also several other HTC applications and skins extracted from the Touch ROMs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344533
I also have the .cab file installers for all of these programs if you need them. If anyone has other applications that they enjoy, please share! In particular, I am looking for a more "finger friendly" alternative to the default UI for the Calendar. I very rarely use my stylus, as I find it more convenient to just use my finger or thumb nail. That's a bit more difficult with the default Calendar interface, and there are other things I don't like about it as well. If you've seen the Calendar interface on the iPhone, it's pretty good. Don't get me wrong, I'd still rather have a Windows Mobile device than an iPhone, especially since you can get more "under the hood" and customize it, etc., and there's a huge community of developers making apps for WM. But there are some things that are much better on the iPhone, including web browsing and overall touchscreen responsiveness. But hey, at least we're moving in the right direction. Maybe Windows Mobile 7 and beyond!?
By the way, I recently found this site:
http://www.touch-innovation.com/
It contains links to several different kinds of "finger friendly" Windows Mobile apps, including some of the ones I've listed above. There's a link to an older (free) version of "ThumbCal" on there, and I may give that a try at some point. But it looks like the more recent versions of it are no longer free.

I tried out nueLight, and although the high beam and morse code functions are fancy and cool, I will still use Nilisco flashlight as my default flashlight. The reason is that I can easily bind it to a button (comm manager) and flick it on and off. The nueLight will only turn on with the button, but will not turn off.

I use Smartgear. It emulates NES, GameBoy Color, and Genesis. It has a free trial version, but it is WELL worth the $10 it costs to register.
Find it here:

My favourite freeware:
1. Today Agenda: A rather simple Today screen plug-in that allows very flexible customization of information from your calendar and tasks to your Today screen. multiple-day agendas in collapsible line items on your Today Screen. Useful for precisely deciding how much real estate you want to give up for it. I love this program.
2. Amaze: Free voice navigation. Works pretty darned well.
3. S2u2: Slide to unlock program that allows you to dump your unlock line on your Today Screen, provides a bunch of useful info on your lock screen, allows calls, and is highly customizable.
4. Skyfire Beta: I really like Skyfire Beta. It works with most websites and provides full web experience, including streaming sound and video (you can play Youtube right on the browser).
5. Youtubeplayer: A nice means of searching, playing, and downloading you tube videos.
6. Pocket Music Lite: Free music player. No fancy coverflow interface, but a nice skinnable finger friendly interface. Only plays MP3s, but you can just get a converter program for your desktop.
7. Vade Mecum: Nice little ebook ready that reads plucker format. I read downloads from www.projectguternberg.org all the time. Has bookmark, search features.
8. VS Painter Lite: A nice draw and paint program that is free. Useful to annote pictures, draw maps or dungeons, etc.
9. Total Commander: One of the best file explorers out there.
10. Set Volume: Full screen volume controller. Skinnable and nice to hard key so you don't ever have to fart around with some tiny onscreen volume control.
11. Pocket Screen: Just a screen capture program, but very nice at that. Useful for showing off your stuff on forums.
12. Beyond Pod: A nice podcast player and RSS feed reader.
13. Google Maps and Live Search: Indispensible. Must haves.
14. Icontact (Burt's version): Very nice finger friendly contacts manager.
15. PCM Keyboard: Very customizable, essentially gives you the iphone keyboard experience on your ppc. Disable the annoying dictionary and word complete functions however.
Those are my favourite non-game freeware apps.
A shout out to shareware SPB Pocket Plus for having a very stable and nicely customizable Today Screen and Launcer experience. I tried Ulitmate Launcher and had all sorts of errors and problems and have read nightmares about HTC Home and HHC.

Business Applications

Hi All,
ive recently purchased a touch HD. At the moment it's quite naked and doesnt have many applications...
But a mate pointed out an application to me that came with the touch HD, the WorldCard Mobile. What a sensible application this is!!! i was amazed when it digitally copied a business card..
What other business applications are available on the touch HD that are a 'must have'?
On top of the list must be Softmaker 2008. Gives you full desktop features in creating and editing text document, spreadsheet and presentation.
Is SoftMaker2008 a freeware? do you have a link?
thanks

Nope. It is not free.
It all depends
It depends what you define business: I produce a lot of technical reports for my company and on accessions, I would like to the report to be read to me prior to it being finalised and approved. For that I use TextSpeech Pro by Digital Future. The voice is very natural far better than Microsoft SAM and others.
I also deal in French and Spanish and sometimes I am just too confused: for this I used SlovoEd extensive dictionaries, from mono to bilingual.
For sensitive data, I used Spb Wallet with nice interface and strong encryption – you also have eWallet.
I do not personally use this, but find it very interesting: Mobile Invoice - you create invoice, estimates on the move, with the ability to add signature on the move.
If you travel (extensively or not), you can make use of full itinerary programs with the ability to even display you the status of your flight (including all connections, hotel booking). For that I use Worldmate and an another option is Spb Traveler 2.
If you're business is not too complicated, you can even do your entire accounting using software such as Cash Organiser premium. There may be more suitable software, but I'm actually able to produce a Profit and Loss statement and Balance Sheet out of it, of course with a little massaging.
Keepass is a must: Free secure wallet.
pRSS Reader
pRSS Reader off course, the best RSS Reader I found sofar. Nice tweak possibilities, like font change, background colors etc. For you, to keep up with the latest business news...
Free to use.

First Impressions after two months usage. A happy user

First of all, I will present myself. I'm a typical business smartphone user mixed with a bit of geek. I've been tied to blackberry for several years due to my company policy but also used maemo devices mostly for recreational purposes. In the computer side its the same history, windows in work laptop and linux in home computers and netbook.
During christmas I decided to change my phone, tired of blackberry phone. I considered n900, droid and hd2, at first nokia was the preferred one but its delays and lack of capacitive screen finally send me to hd2 arms (droid was discarded because I didn't see too much sense in having a capacitive screen and a keyboard)
I want to share with you mi firsts impressions about windows mobile and HD2. It's strong points and lacks from the business user point of view and casual or recreational user point of view:
Business User: GOOD
- Mail and Calendar, this is the key factor, first of all i was greatly disappointed by lack of Blackberry Connect support in this device (our company security policy doesn't allow other access method to our exchange mail server) but Systems Seven was a wonderful discovery, same functionality than blackberry terminals (using standard web access) and minimum bandwidth and battery usage. GREAT, even search in corporate directory is possible.
- IM, yes this is important in corporate environments We use Microsoft OCS, is supported, lacks the possibility of VoIP calls over OCS but this is not a terminal limitation but a Microsoft decision. GREAT
- Web Browser, most of our company systems are web based, the browser is great, i can work with better productivity that Blackberry terminals (great screen resolution and touch responsiveness). GOOD
- Office Integration, of course, in our company we work with Microsoft Office, Documents viewing is great with the suite and i never thoguht about editing complex powerpoint or excels with the phone. Anyway word editing is possible and quite potent feature, this point is related about keyboard. GOOD
- Keyboard, used to Blackberry and n810 keyboards i was afraid about capacitive screen keyboards, first impressions where not very positive, i could type accurately but with less productivity than previous phones. Several weeks ago i discovered swype and right now i can type even faster than with a phone physical keyboard. GREAT
- Security, still trying to find a solution to establish a VPN with my CISCO concentrators, I've tried several solution but none really worked. Closer one was AnthaSOFT but it has stability problems. BAD
- Others, GRemotePRO is a great solution to use my phone as a pointer in presentations lacking the possibility to see next slide or presentation notes but still better than anything in Blackberry. Still searching for a good SVN client and a really touch adapted mindmaps editor.
Casual or recreational user: EXCELLENT
- Music player: Really good it only lacks some utility to rate albums or songs and build playlists based on personal ratings (MediaMonkey style), MySpot is a good application, great effort bud still lacks the ability to locally cache songs, this is problem when you are in a 3G networks (still no unlimited data plans on my country). Sound with good headphnoes (i use Shure) is great. Still searching for a player with flac and cue support. GOOD
- Video Player: CorePlayer and TCPMP are nearly perfect, they play 480p quite good with subtitles. I don't need to convert movies or TV series for watching on long travels. EXCELLENT
- TV Player. Really good, i can see sopcast channels at home (streaming from my HTPC and TCPMP as client) and TVUPlayer in the go. EXCELLENT
- Book Reader: AlReader with minimum screen contrast and right colors can be used during hours without eyes fatigue. I've read about 10-15 books during this months and i'm not considering to buy any book reader. EXCELLENT
- Feeds Reader: RSS feeds are basic for me, i use Google Reader to be able to access feeds in home, work, traveling, etc. I'm using SmartRssTouch in my mobile and is really impressive. Fast and really good touch interface. Excellent
- Web Browsing: Nothing to add. GOOD
- Camera and Video recording: I'm not into photo, i suppose that quality is usual for a phone but quality in photos with movement is not good (maybe i don't have the knowledge to adapt the settings ....). MEDIUM
- GPS Software: Really excellent, nothing to add, i use iGo and i've replaced the dedicated device in my car. EXCELLENT
- IM and Social: Good clients. I use Palringo (mostly gtalk user) and the interface is great. Lacking the hability to establish call with gtalk but i will talk about that later. GOOD
- Phone and SMS: I forgot, HD2 is still a phone Good call quality, no problem with SMS. I use skype for VoIP calls. Lacks integration into contacts of different comunication mechanisms, Maemo is providing a really nice way to do this kind of integration. Out of the box voice dialing is a failure but Cyberon Voice Dialing is a great tool. GOOD
- Interface Customizing. I'm really impressed, great customization capabilities. I use several cabs provided by the community and the interface has really improved (HTC Sense is a great base) just to mention three of them (BattClok, Dutty Task Manager and Co0kie). EXCELLENT
- Games: No comments, i'm not really into gaming .....
- Others: Some surprises, great backup software SPB, nice utilities like Torch or SPB Wireless Monitor. Good SSH client (pocketputty to control my HTPC and work servers)
- Shop: Who really need a shop having XDA ........
Other Topics: EXCELLENT
- Battery: No concern, GOOD
- Stability: Good, some hangs but nothing unusual. At the end, we are using a windows smartphone
- Community: Last but not least. When i was considering N900 or HD2, community support was a concern, i was used to the great maemo community but after discovering XDA community i think that you are doing a really great job. EXCELLENT
i was with you all the way to the battery bit.
Regarding battery life, a agree in the points exposed in the thread "[REF] Leo power consumption breakdown" update"
For me, works days are not really meaningful because most of the time is connected (to the computer or the car) and usualy don't go below 70-80%
During weekend it can last saturday and sunday without recharging if i don't see any movie or soccer match just rss reading, ssh sessions and web browsing

I see people complain about the HD2's battery life constantly, but honestly, what do you people expect?
I've had the device since it came out on Telstra (I live in Canada, was luckily holidaying in Australia at the time) and I can honestly say that the battery life impresses me. Feels better than my TP2's.
Are you people not charging your device overnight? If not, then I have no sympathy for you nor do I lend any credibility to your complaints, that's quite simply stupid.
Otherwise, your expectations for the device must simply be unreasonable.
I agree with you, i think that battery usage is good, always compared with another similar devices.
Of course, my Blackberry Pearl battery lasts for a week but i never thought that i was going to get the same performance with HD2 ...
Most intense use is during flight planes and i can see two movies and listen music during 4-5 hours with a 70% battery drain (not very scientific but a concrete user experience), this is more than enough for me.
