Is there a program to monitor the amount of data transfered via gprs when i connect to the internet?
SPB GPRS MONITOR
Well, try SPB GPRSmonitor - good statistics, wide settings, TODAY plug-in + startbar icon to monitor the current speed, amount of data transfered and so on... By the way, it's my first post since I installed the XDA-DEVELOPERS SPECIAL EDITION ROM 1.2! Fantastic! I'm only waiting for the same thing to be based on WM 2003. Any way, thank you, guys! Great job!
Hi,
I'm due to uprade my phone on nov20th and intend to get the O2 XDA EXEC. As I'm lokingto gert a PDA as well as a phone this device looks like the best of both! I travel a lot in my job and want to be able to use some navigation software like tomtom on this.
My question to you guys is, what accessories, software etc, do you think is essential to get the best use out of the XDA EXEC, what navigation software shld i get and when it comes to GPS should i get Wired GPS or Bluetooth?

Q: "what accessories, software etc, do you think is essential to get the best use out of the XDA EXEC"
A: That depends entirely on what you want to do with it.
Q: "what navigation software shld i get and when it comes to GPS should i get Wired GPS or Bluetooth?"
A: You'll find from other threads that TomTom 5.1 with bluetooth works fine.
If you're with o2 direct you can do it a month early.
Essentials:
TomTom
PocketBreeze
Pocket Informant
iLauncher
GSPocketMagic
GSFinder
PHM Registry Editor
VJdiallerSMS
PhoneAlarm (once it works on WM5)
Macintosh with bluetooth (essential to me anyway
Small fingers
Lots and lots of patience
Daily call to O2 to attempt 3G data promotion clarification

That's all I can think of for now...

My first three accessory purchases have been:
- Bluetooth headset - essential to make phone calls with the thing without looking completely stupid
- SD card for storage
- Screen Protectors - i dont use the stylus much, but when i do, i'm pretty paranoid about scratching the screen!
hope that helps a bit!

Looking at the other threads on Tomtom it seems as though people were having problems installing it. I just wondered whether any of the other navigation packages were as troublesome to install. Or are they not as good as tomtom?
What they do - as requested!
TomTom - Satellite Navigation. I'd be lost without it.
PocketBreeze - Decent diary display on the today screen.
Pocket Informant - Brilliant Diary. (although I prefer the built in Contacts screen for dialling quickly)
iLauncher - tabbed shortcuts on the today screen
GSPocketMagic - better 'start' menu and proper application closer. Also speed things up somehow!
GSFinder - proper 'finder' (err, Explorer?) to replace the pathetic built in one.
PHM Registry Editor - if you don't know then don't use this!
VJdiallerSMS - Allows shortcut to dial or sms - I use this with iLauncher to have quick dials
PhoneAlarm (once it works on WM5) - stunningly brilliant profiles app and more. Not WM05 yet. I miss it. Essential app
Macintosh with bluetooth (essential to me anyway - I don't like Windows. <G> )
Small fingers - To make typing easier.
Lots and lots of patience - To help sort out all the WM05 'issues'.
Daily call to O2 to attempt 3G data promotion clarification - Because I don't want to use 'unlimited free' data and then find out I have been charged for it!

Did you manage to get it clarified? I'm on O2 Online 200 Talker and have been told I get 5MB free browsing in month 1, thereafter I get 1MB. Correct?

I did get it clarified, but then when I asked for written confirmation, it confirms the OPPOSITE of what I had been told See the thread 'O2 free GPRS promotional offers' for details. Its ridiculous, I wouldn't have been using all that data if it wasn't included.
In the absence of *any* offers for my MDA Pro, I'm going to get it unlocked and port my T Mobile number over to my Orange PAYG sim card. Hopefully, the "Try 3g" offer will be applicable? I mean, they sell 3g PAYG handsets, so I guess it will :? If not, I'll have to go through the rigmarole (and expense) of ordering the unlimited GPRS until midnight offer.
Anyway, my MDA Pro cost me a lot less than expected due to
a) T Mobile extending my contract by 12 months, not the 18 they quoted, but still charging me the 18 month deal's upgrade price :lol:
b) My line rental was, erm, £2.60. Technically speaking. Made the cancellation fee a pleasant surprise 8)
I will continue to use the GPRS untill 31st December for free.
As this was how I was sold the device and have confirmed this with both O2onlineShop & Customer Service.
I bet they've had plenty of requests for confirmation of offer.
And stil haven`t removed or changed the wording of the offer.

A small price to pay i know, but gspocketmagic looks rubbish compared to all of the other high-res icons that is on the exec. It also leaves an ugly blank square on the top right hand corner of the screen when on the today screen.
Other than that though it is awesome. I just hope it gets updated to look nice
How about a case:

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.
I am using PCarvalho build of WM6.5 on my Touch Cruise (Polaris). It does not have a built in data usage counter but I would like to install one.
Can you recommend a good 3rd party app to install so I do not run over the limit I have?
try the spb wireless monitor,i think its the best one around..it shows which app uses data,has chart,daily-weekly-monthly counting,etc
Battery Status
If you want a free program I recommend BatteryStatus. It also does many other useful stuff

dont think battery status works properly with wm6.5 though..
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
