My questions about the shift

Hello,
I have set up my Shift now, but there are some questions left. So I hope you can help me.
1. As a tablet PC i tried to draw something with Paint.net. I did not work, because somehow the pen was not recognized. It acted like a normal mouse, which is being moved. But in the standard paint it works flawless. I can draw with the stylus without any problem.
Do you know, why this is not working in Paint.net? Or do you know an other working alternative?
2. I unlocked my German SnapVue and tried to install the Office 6.1 from modaco. It installs, but after a soft reset I can not start that applications.
Do you know an office mobile 6.1 version, which works with a German device?
3. If I have WLAN and the 3G Modem both enabled, how can I be sure, that the WLAN connection is used?
Can I change it somewhere in Vista, so that WLAN is only used, even if the 3G Modem is there?
4. When I am online under Vista only with the cellular line, which network type should I choose?
Home, Office or public network?
5. I have only a 5GiB data for 3G. What should I do to count the internet traffic of Vista and SnapVue together?
Till now these are my questions. Thx in advance
edit:
6. I thought it crashed and so I softreseted several times: Initial syncing of the calendar needs more than 30minutes!!!
How can this be? The rest syncs fast as usual.

Some points I am not sure, but did you try launching the .exe files of office within the PROGRAMME folder?
Maybe the links (verknuefungen) are pointing towards the default English folder.
About Wifi...I think if you dont use Internet Connection Sharing, Vista is bound to use Wifi. So make sure ICS is off and not running in the background. Better close it in SETTINGS>>> MEMORY (Einstellungen > Speicher..oder so)
the lack of a proper X button to close apps is bothering me the most.

X button on WM
I'm using a QuickMenu 2.7, which is free and provides a better menu system than standard WM, plus a few features, including X-button (configurable) and screen rotation.
Hope this helps.

If because of the low memory you just want the smallest X-button util, just use the HTC X-button, takesup little room and does the job!

1.
i installed it just now on my tablet though not shift but also with a pasive digitizer
and it works for me used 3.35 beta
3.
network connection->properties for the wanted network connection
choose tpc/ip->properties->advanced
and set metric yourself
lowest number will always be used over higher ones so if you set the wifi to lower it will be used when 3g is on too

Thanks. I might install that when I run out of space. I like the screen rotation on QuickMenu for reading whole pages in portrait mode. Is there a low memory solution for that too?

Hm, maybe I should ask the paint.net folks about help. There seems to be some incompatibility.

I informed myself about this feature and you are right. This lets me prioritize my connection.
But: I found out, that the Shift disconnect the 3G Modem from Vista (but not from Windows Mobile), if I enable WLAN. So I don't have to do anything, it works as it should.
About my 5th question:
Because the 3G Modem is only the connected over Windows Mobile to Vista, I can use any datacounter on Windows Mobile site and it counts all my traffic. I use BatteryStatus

I am very impressed with Quickmenu, expecially it's rotation facility. Many thanks for letting me know about this freeware program.

Spb Wireless Monitor on HD

I manage to install tje Spb Wireless Monitor, and set up the tariff for my carrier. When I check the stats for the used amount of data everything seems to work flawlessly for a minute. Then suddenly the program hangs and the only way to use the top bar is to soft reset the device.
Is there any substitueprogram to monitor the datausage for the HD??

No one???? (BUMP!)

I would suggest searching Google using the following seach string :
"pocket pc gprs monitor -spb"
That should display 3 or 4 different options.

I use GPRS Traffic Monitor. Works fine on the HD. http://www.smartphone.net/software_detail.asp?id=1353

if you use GPRS monitor from SPB you have to have access to a keyboard to cycle through the drop down menu to select the connection you wise to monitor. which means a bluetooth keyboard, or using MY MOBILER with active sync on your pc.

Nevermind, a new version of Spb Wireless Monitor just arrived, and it seems to work without any flaws.

Great app!!!

Works flawlessly on HD

Anyone using Opera Mini ?

I've just installed Opera Mini on my Jade and I have to say, it's pretty nice.
Unlike Opera Mobile it is very fast and the zooming and display is better for a small screen like the 320x240 Jade screen.
Since the websites and images will be compressed by the Opera servers, the traffic is lower and the speed higher. Of course, I won't use the browser for sensible data, because the data runs through Opera proxies. But for normal browsing it's great.
The only problem: I can't switch to fullscreen, because the fullscreen can only be enabled by a key combination which I don't have on my Jade. Maybe someone knows how to fix this.
But it's still a nice browser.

Yes agree, I must say the speed is pretty impressive compared with the Op Mob even by setting graphics to high. btw is is there any method to launch it direct without launching jBlend first ? Am I missing something ? Cheers.

Here is a very useful overview of the features the most popular JVMs have.
As for the direct shortcut, my jade came with esmertec jbed, here is a description how to invoke opera mini (or any other midlet) directly from windows.
The problem is there's no description how to do that with jblend (why don't you use the preinstalled jbed, anyway?)

Mine is pre installed with JBlend. I've found the direct shortcut command i.e. \Windows\JBlend_AMS.exe -R 0.jar (0 is where your Opera Mini is in \windows\java, depending on your other installations.)
Thanks.

azahidi, would you highly recommend using opera mini or the stock opera browser?

Hi !
Yes Opera Mini is Very Fast ! That Good but i have the solution for your problem !
When you are on Opera Mini go to :
Setting => Full screen
that very simple but i don't know if you want that or an other "full screen"
Bye

well, for me I prefer the stock opera mobile. still sticking to it. it depends on how comfortable you are with the functionalities

For me the same: I find it important that the browser is fully integrated in the operating system (Windows mobile). Opera mini as a java-applet only has limited connections to the other functions of the phone (example: direct dial of telephone-numbers listed on web pages).

Talking about java-applet. How many of you are using Jblend? I tried today installing those 3D games that supposedly work with Jblend..but failed miserably in doing so...need help!

There is only a java version now, no PPC version. I don't like java programs.

No More SPRINT service, and wifi problem with sprint bloat and Wm 6.5

Hi,
I dont have sprint service anymore and cannot call them to fix problems.
I did however upgrade (Flash) to the new Windows Mobile 6.1 using the one provided by Sprint and HTC from there website;
_HTC Mogul (Sprint)_RUU_TITAN_SPRINT_WWE_3.56.651.0_RS_TITAN_3.42.02_SPCS2.04_PPST_0718_Ship
It went well, and now my HTC 6800 (Sprint Mogul) states the following on the "about" page in the phone.
WM 6.1 Pro
CE OS 5.2.19208 (Build 19208.1.0.1) 2007 MS Corp.
Now for my PROBLEMS!
1) Wifi wont work.
Actually more specifically IE mobile doesn't work. It still tries to connect to the sprint network (I had the SERO Plan) using the cellular connection (which I dont have anymore). I tried to change the advanced settings to make all Internet programs to use the wireless connection, BUT THE WIRELESS CONECTION IS NOT LISTED AS A OPTION IN THE ADVANCED SETTINGS or any network settings! The wifi in my phone connects properly to my home network though, and I tried without any wifi mac filtering or wifi encryption, and still IE mobile wont connect.
How do I fix this? Is there an app that will auto set all the correct reg settings and everything?
I want to the use the Mogul as a Internet downloader to download Usenet binaries and if possible megaupload links (a more greener option that having the desktop on). Anyone know of any programs that can do this on windows mobile? I was hoping to use NZBmobile for usenet. Dont know of any rapidshare or megaupload downloader for the the mobile though (Like jdownloader for the desktops).
2) Sprint Bloat software and features. Basically is there a version of windows that is just the OS without the bloat from companies? Will WM 6.5 be too big for the HTC to handle? I saw this on the net
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=67673
Will it be too much for the mogul with the tiny memory on this thing?
3) any 3rd party GPS software that dont require a Net connection and can use preloaded maps? I have 8 GB card.
Thanks to all those who keep the site alive!

Install DCD 3.3.4 or 4.1.2. You dont need the carrier cab and then use something like garmin xt.

Hey thanks for the reply drewcam888!
See I'm a bit new to mobile moding hacking. You couldn't trouble yourself to provide some links that show me how to get my wifi working could you? That really is my main problem now

Will you explain?

Htc hd mini

Hello,
I'm thinking of buying a HTC HD mini, but I have one more question. Can I disable 3G/EDGE/GPRS/HSDPA? I want to do all my connectivity on WiFi and BlueTooth. I'd like it to re-enable it in a few years maybe. Is that possible? The HTC HD Mini runs Windows Phone 6.5.3
Thanks in advance!

Ofcourse you can ... you may disable everything to network connection on the device. You should see the HTC Legend before you go for windows mobile devices.

You mean I should use an Android system? That's something interesting too, because I've never used that before (Windows I've already used on my HP HX2190). Does someone has any experience with Android?
