screen rotation software please - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

Does any one know where I can get the software to switch views on the xda2 screen between portrait & landscape formats ? When I am trying to view spread sheets it becomes extreemly frustraiting having to scroll accross every time I want to view things !!! :x

hey mate,
when i was still using my xda1 i tried out 2 kinds of software; ny-something (forgot the name) and another one called jslandscape. the ny works better but i never got the correct settins to make the appearance right (based on resolution). and the worse part is to uninstall the sucker you have to do a hard reset. now that i'm using an xda2 i haven't heard of anyone successfully using either of the 2 softwares i mentioned; a friend of mine had to do a hardreset after trying it out on his unit. my 2 cents worth is that be VERY careful when you decide to try out orientation software; make sure you back up your data well.
cheers

Have a look at http://www.nyditot.com/
I never testesed it but it seems very good (pocketpc award 2003)

I use nyditot quite a lot, at 480x360 landscape for terminal services and web browsing, and it works perfectly. Note that there were issues with PC2003 until recently, so make sure you get the latest version.
I beleive you can uninstall it without a hard reset. However, you need to do a soft reset between screen changes which can be a bit irritating.
Also, the SIP is scaled too, so can be a bit fiddly to use at finer resolutions, although I rather like it tiny.
I just wish PPC devices would start to use, and properly support, the new 640x480 screens that are becoming standard on Palm5 devices.

I also use the nyditot software. I first started using it when I had an iPAQ but since it works with WM2003 is was able to migrate to my XDA II

Help...Pocket Mechanic v2.xx NOT working..

Hi all. Has anyone with a T-Mobile Ameo got Pocket Mechanic working on their device?
It's just that I have downloaded several demo versions (recent ones from Anton's website) and earlier 2.xx versions, and whilst they all install and display fine, I never have the buttons visible at the bottom of the screen to actually activate any of the modules.
It's a right royal pain. I just want to test the defrag options within it, to see if it is worth my while.
Anyone experience this? If not, I got me problem.
Any know of any other freeware or if need be commercial app that will allow me to safely defrag my SD card and Micro drive?
Any help appreciated.
Pocket Mechanic Pro...Incompatible with HTC WM5?
Handango.com reports that there are no WM5 HTC devices compatible with Pocket Mechanic Pro.
Surely this is rubbish. Anyone care to enlighten me/all of us?

Well I'm glad to hear that. Thanks for your reply. I noticed you have a HTC X7500, just wondering if this a ROM issue with T-Mobile Ameo or just my device now.
Anyone got this up and running on an Ameo and or Dopod U1000?
Not Working on Ameo....
I'm really stumped on this one....I need help...please!!??!! AAaarrrgg.
OK now I got that out of my system.
Can someone with an Ameo either please test out the evaluation copy (any version from 2.3xx upwards) please to see if they get the same problem or wether it's my device.
Apparently it works without issue on the X7500, but on my Ameo it looks perfect, BUT....the execution buttons at the bottom of the screen are not visible in all Modules except the 'Free RAM' module, where it is clearly visible and working as should.
I have tried 4 different versions all with the same problem. I'm stumped!!
I really need this as I'm constantly transferring large files to and from the MicroDrive and Defragging is something I have learnt is necessary on the PC, so I figured it must equally be important on the PPC with such a large HDD/MicroDrive.
Anyway here are some snapshots, 1 with the execution button (the only one) and 2 without (including all remaining modules). I have tried another app which can do Defragging, but was not at all impressed with it.
Anyway thanks in advance for any help or positive input.
works perfectly on my ameo.. Cache set to 4mb.. ameo seems much quicker. Latest version of the developers site.
Maybe try it without WA3 running? What else have you got running that could affect it?
FWIW defragging the microdrive seems to take an age. I think it was going to take 8 hours...
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the quick reply fards. I already tried it without WA3 but no change there. The only other app I don't trust at the mo is Spb Phonesuite. I'll try that. Thanks for the tip...my mind has gone blank!!

Just tried that. It's not Spb Phonesuite.
Eureka!! Got it working..but still no graphical buttons!
Suppose the title said it all. I have had to navigate using the keyboards navigation keys and guess how many clicks downwards to the invisible buttons.
Pathetic I know, but at least I can use the application and it defragmenting after a scandisk as I type. Brill.
Yea, mine works on Htc x7500 with version 2.32.175. It could be your WA3 - What color Font is on your today screen. is it black? I have had some issues with pocket mechanic and wa2, I had to change the font color for it to show...Well that was before I removed WA2
Pocket mechanic's newer version with scandisk is a very good app. Each new release gets better and better. I have used the PM since the beta testing. (even listed in the credits)
Is wa3 really better? I really like the idea and functionality of WA, but it always caused issues with my devices...

Hey eaglesteve.
No it's definately not WA3 as I tried it without WA but I will give the colour scheme thing a shot under the native O/S theme.
But somehow I don't think that will resolve it either. You see when I activate/execute a module (via keyboard) it takes me to another screen whereby I get to see the missing buttons which I can then click on. Weird!!
As for WA3 beta2....I love it and can't wait to buy the full product. I bought WA2 near the beginning of last year and loaded it up on at least 4 different WM devices that I went through in the last year. It's a must have for me. I hate the default look of WM and the latest incarnation comes with some much needed new features and is very well implemented. I def recommend it.
Pretty stable too for a beta!
Newest Pocket Mechanic bricked my O2 xda trion
Installed the latest version (2.43) this morning as it is stated as a "critical upgrade". Opened PM and elected to run ScanDisk on my storage card. App responded that it would reboot, open in "Safe Mode" and then proceed to scan my card. The unit rebooted and then hung on the Windows Mobile splash screen. Nothing else happened for 30-min. so I removed the battery for another 30-min. This cycle has been repeated several times with and without the storage card installed but nothing has restored operability to my phone. I have contacted Anton about this but other than his questions regarding which file I downloaded from his site (it was the .cab file for WM5) I have heard nothing further.
Looks as though my phone will need a hard reset - just hope I have a salvageable storage card.
JayBee
sorry to hear that Jaybee, that's messed up. I no longer trust Antons software and will be deleting PM as soon as I have completed this post.
Did you know that a few versions ago he apparently released a version of PM that had malicious code in the app to format or corrupt your memory card? now that was all about striking back at cracked versions of his software. I'm all for developers protecting their investment, but not at the expense of peoples expensive gadgets, especially when weighed up against software which only cost a few measely bucks in comparison!!
This type of action also gave some of his genuine customers problems.
Nah,sorry, i'm done with his software.
PM
I have reported the bug to Anton and he told me the was a major bug in the 2.42 version which only appears in WM5. Now they have released the 2.45 version. Beware, after installing and using scandisk with safe mode my device frooze while booting. I had to hard reset my device to get it working again.
I'm using version 2.30.172 with no problem at all. I have all the buttons that are missing is Mackaby007's unit.
Which Athena do you have?

That would explain it then. The Dopod ROM seems much better put together than the Ameo ROM.
I'm relieved. Software differences will be resolved in the future.
I just had the infuriating problem of not locating the action/dialog buttons for Pocket Mechanic (and I'm a newbie to WinMobile - just got my HTC TyTNII last Friday).
Turns out it's something to do with the system fonts (and/or font size). One of the FAQs at PocketMechanic website (Wizcode.com) states that:
If the buttons at the bottom of different Pocket Mechanic Professional module dialogs are missing or misplaced you need to adjust the system font properties of your Windows Mobile Device. Symptoms always appear after the default system font settings are changed (most often by a 3rd party application).
Pocket Mechanic Professional missing buttonsThe current implementation of MFC libraries could cause the buttons (and other dialog controls) to be incorrectly positioned on dialogs if the default system font is changed. The MapDialogRect API that is used for mapping controls on a dialog takes into account the system font properties when calculating the positions of the controls but it doesn’t seem to do that correctly on Windows CE. The side effects of that are oddly placed dialog controls when using a non-default system font. Sometimes the controls will be position outside the visible are of the dialogs thus making them unusable.

I must've messed around with that earlier (changed to Tahoma 8pt or 9pt) either with Tweaks 2K2.NET or some other tool.
I've now set it to Segoe UI (and 8pt) , and the dialog buttons are back.
Another problem that manifested from the initial changing of fonts was that the tabs to configure Journal Bar (at the bottom of the screen) had disappeared as well.
Now they're back.
Hope this helps.
Well done!

Problem installing SoftMaker 2008 onto my HD

guys, have anyone installed the most powerful document processing software the "SoftMaker 2008" onto their HD? I've tried individual CAB and Green verson (sorry!) and both froze either after loading the app or having the keyboard brought up and block the whole screen (can't put it back), I just want to make sure before I spent bucks into getting the official one. thanks!
That's interesting. I've been a long time user of 2006 and the install doesn't use Cabs ... it uses a wrapper on the PC to download the file structure to the PDA. Has 2008 changed that ?
I decided against the HD in part because of the lack of practical options around Softmaker. I know you can use BT keyboard (which I have) but you don't take it everywhere.
Paul.

thanks Paul. well, I had an Acer n311 before my HD, I didn't often do word processing on my n311 but I still found it pretty handy when I needed to, so keyboard less might not as much as a factor for me (considering that HD's on-screen keyboard is much more "typable" than n311), anyway, thanks for your help!
Works fine for me
No problem. I've been buying this SW for a long time, version after version, updated packs,etc.
Installs via PC with serial number, or via cabs (yes) but then you have to install the serial n° three times...
Fantastic group of applications. i.e. PlanMaker is now usable with larger screen size, and Gyrator works great to put on landscape mode.
My best.

Astronavigaotor on HD ?

I'd like to know if you have any problems with Astronavigator on Touch HD.
I have installed it and as soon as go in the menu for changing location, the application freezes
I'd also like to know if there's any similar program, which uses gps to define current location...
Tnx
Andrej
Same for me: app freezes
yep
fine till you change location - then freezzzzz
here the same...no sulotion in the pas half year?
here the same...no solution in the past half year?
I've tried running Atronavigator on both HTC shift and Touch HD, the stuff just freezes.
But... if you de-select all the stuff on the map, once in a while, you can get to the location part, I was even able to get a fix one time and see the soft. as it should be.
On the shift, it's even harder to get it working, one must reboot, kill activesync,kill all the other stuff like GSM/Radio, kill the stars, planets and the rest and..
you might get lucky once in a while...
possibly it's due to the origins of my file...
Same here; just freezes when trying to locate position or even when wanting to input position manually on Touch HD
Hi,
It's Working with WGAFIX.
WGAfix ?
I guess you mean WVGA Fix(.cab) to switch to VGA, I first was confused into downloading WGA fix for XP :-(
This looks like the place to get it.
Incidentally, the freeze happens with the version legitimately downloaded from vitotechnology.com. I sent a request to their support 3 weeks ago, and then by email, haven't heard from them.
The previous version (astronavigatorII 1.2) works fine though...

Not sure if this is the WVGA fix your talking about
yeah, that's the one. I find that I need to do a soft reset to switch back from VGA to WVGA with that program, but that's fine.
The good news is, once you've set the astroNavigatorII location in VGA mode, you can return to WVGA as everything else works, and it 'cookies' your location. So, as long as you don't move to a distant location, you'll be able to enjoy the app.
Wow, I've been looking for a suitable app that can rival the iPhone's Starmap. Doesn't look like Vitotechnology are too reliable though... No fix for the problem in however many months, and no replies to tech support requests?
More annoying though, I go to their website and find they have an iPhone app themselves called Star Walk 3.0 which has all sorts of goodies like GPS/Digital compass etc, whilst the Astronavigator app for Windows Mobile phones seems to be stuck in a development freeze with a location feature that doesn't even work properly on our phone!
iPhone virtual machine?
from what I can judge, Astronavigator is nowhere as impressive as Starmap, still more expensive, no editing, scant documentation. The navigation / screen gestures are also quite confusing. Haven't used Starmap though.
I guess what we need is an iPhone emulator running under WM6

Random thoughts regarding my X1.

Well, people, it has been 5 months since i got the phone and i think it's about time i shared some thoughts with you. Nothing special, just telling you my experiences so far.
I should start by saying that i hesitated between the Touch Pro and the Xperia for nearly 3 months. Then in december i decided to buy the X1. It was the best phone purchase related decision i have ever made ! Usualy when I'm sure i want a certain phone, it turns out that the phone is crap. This time around after hesitating so much I made the absolutely right call .
It is the best phone i have ever used/ touched/ bought and it is 100% the right phone for my needs. After trying out a lot of smartphones and pocket pc phones over the last 5 months (pretty much everything from Touch Pro/ HD, Omnia, N95, 96 and other Nokia devices to Motorola and Samsung) I came to the conclusion that the X1 is THE BEST phone in the world today. I don't see any direct threat for its superiourity until the Touch Pro 2 arrives.
I really cannot imagine how I have lived without it .
I'm not saying it is perfect - far from it. It has its flaws. But for this exact moment in time it has no competition.
I'm not going to do a review here of Pro's and Con's, but a simple list of what I use and my impressions.
I am happy, I never got any cracks (and there have been 5 or 6 major drops , one of wich was from over 1 meter and the phone hit a steel table's edge and some hard tiles ont he floor). The only thing that I really don't like is that a lot of dust and other stuff congregates in the edges of the screen. It was a stupid designer decision to make it that way (recessed). The battery rarely last more than 12 hours , but I use the device a lot hehe. The Camera sucks. It is blurry and slow etc. But w/e, I didn't buy a camera after all.
I really enjoy the overall shape of the device and the feel of it in the hand. It's solid, but fits good in my pockets. The slide mechanism is flawless (at least so far ).
The mood lights are pretty cool and useful especially at night. The panels need more work though.
The phone is pretty fast after a hard reset, but gets progressively slower after i install 200+ apps hehe. I got around 140 games and more than 150 apps installed on it.
Here are the apps I use the most.
At first I did a lot of hard reseting, ROM try outs, apps and games intalations etc. After awhile i figured what i need and stuck with the original (now updated) ROM believe it or not. I made a folder with all the games and apps sorted out, which enbles me to reinstall them in a couple of hours.
At the beginning I used the Xperia primarily for Video (all the season of Prison Break ftw), YouTube and browsing (Opera>IE). Also some gaming and radio (online and panel).
After a month or so i started using Office, Mail clients and GPS (IGO 8)a lot more (I guess i had some major work going on at this time and some travelling).
Now the 3 apps i use the most are:
- Microsoft Reader (IMHO the best e-book reader out there). If you turn on ClearType there is no strain on the eyes and you could read for hours. By the way a side note. If you are a sci-fi fan and haven't read the Commonwealth series by Peter F. Hamilton you should be really ashamed of yourself . These books blew my mind away.
- SPB Insight. Very good RSS reader. I use it all the time. I really like to download a lot of articles and then read them whenever I don't have anything else to do (travelling on the train, stuck in traffic etc.).
- MP3 players !!! I got Pocket Player, Pocket Music and S2P, but what I use the most is Mort Player. It is outstanding. 1000 MP3s of my fav tracks ftw .
I'm not into social networking apps, so I don't use Facebook and stuff. I really prefer to call or see someone face to face.
For movies I use WMP and convert the files beforehand with the AMAZING HD video converter by projection. For other types of files I use the Core Player 1.3 Thank you.
I use the outstanding WVGAfix by Cotulla for a lot for the games that are not in fullscreen (that is about 3/4 of them). Thank you.
A list of some other great apps that i like follows:
Astro Navigator 2
BEIKS Dictionaries
QuickMark (nice barcode reader)
VirtuaMouse (gives you a cursor )
MagiCall (for the calls you DON'T want to take)
MP3 Trimmer (Cut your MP3s right in the phone and make your own ringtones without the use of a PC) A must!.
PhatNotes
Resco Photo Viewer (A mini Photoshop)
Pocket Cleaner
Resco Radio
Resco Audio Recorder
SKTools 9Great for tweaking)
SPB Time (I use the screensaver only)
SPB Weather 2.0 (It is one amazing weather app)
SPB Online (Incredible software giving you access to online games, TV and more)
WkTask (If you don't have this - you have nothing. Amazing task manager and today plug-in, changes the "x" button and a lot more)
Xperia Tweak
Calligrapher
HomeScreen PlusPlus (Absolutely a must for anyone. Gives you the ability to launch apps from the tray, monitor Xperia's temperature, CPU speed, battery drain and much more)
MorphGear (What can I say. Now i got 5 thousand (5000) games on my X1, from NES and SNES to Gameboy and SEGA, playable in landscape with customizable keyboard keys.)
WM Torrent
Skype
ICQ
PhoneEx (Great call manager, but strangely enough, prevents me from using 3G calling???)
Resco Today Plugin
Task Manager 3.1 (Beats the Windows XP task manager hands down)
There are more, but these are the best ones IMHO.
There were 2 other apps i tried, but i cannot palce the names right now. One was for controling the phone from the PC screen and the other used the phone as a second display for your PC. If i remember the names I'll post .
I bought some random cases for it, but what i really like to get is a case i saw on YouTube. It has spare battery slot and slots for SIM cards and MicroSD cards. I need a docking station too, but never got around to buying one.
Congratulations if you read the whole thing . These are thing that popped into my mind right away. I guess there is more, but I'm not going to bore you to death haha.
Feel free to ask me anything, post comments and better yet share your own thoughts and experiences.
Thanks for this post im a new X1 owner and this list of apps is a great place for me to start

You are welcome . That is one of the reasons i decided to make the post. To share some of the apps i got. I think not all of them are well known to most of the people.
Some advice:
Backup software is useless. Even if you backup everything 100% the phone WILL act strangely afterwards. If you screw up something, hard reset is the only option .
You seem to have tried most things...have you tried 3D ?
The superb resolution, outstanding colour and brightness of the X1 screen is perfect for viewing 3D.
Are you ready for the next big leap in the mobile experience?
Check out the 3D thread at the end this post.
I heard the back battery cover can become loose if you open it too often ie. flashing too many roms, what's your experience on this issue?
cheers.

Hey.
I don't have any problems with the cover of my X1 and I have removed it hundreds of times. I guess it is either a rumour or a manufacturing problem with some of the X1s. Same as the cracks. Certain factory batches have the problem, others don't.

What do you mean? Do you have a problem with it? If yes, share the problem. I might be able to help. Anyways. All you have to do is:
1 - Install Morphgear
2 - Install the module you want (NES module, GameBoy module etc.)
3 - Deselect "disable fullscreen" from the "global options" menu.
4 - Select the keys to play with from the menu (done separately for each module)
5 - Play and Enjoy .

I don't have any problems with either. You should have tried getting your X1 replaced with a new one, because it was probably a faulty device.

I have tried all of the most popular backup software. They do their job fine and after a backup you have all your items, apps, settings (whatever you choose). The problem I have with all of them is that after a backup the device is unstable. It tends to freeze up, crash or generally do things slowly. No matter how good the backup is, it is ecentially a negative experience for your system and software.
In my eyes, backup is only useful if you don't want to loose certain info or w/e. It is not good for restoring your device into full working condition. Hard reset ftw .
Just my experience and opinion though. I might be completely wrong.
But hey, who would want to backup their personal data (this way)? I hope ya'll are not using My Documents?!? I put all of my files on the storage card and I can Hardreset as often as I want without losing any files...
But one thing regarding backup: I want a backup that I can plae right after Hardreset. So what I will do (once I have tested all the software I've downloaded and erased the bad ones) is a Hardreset and then install all the software and THEN make a backup, so in case of problems I can first Hardreset and then directly use that backup to get back all of my software without having to reinstall each one separately. Have you tested such a case? I've tried RESCO Backup (Which is bull**** because it can't create a standalone-exe and instead produces 100 ZIP folders...), Spb backup (Which crashed my inbox so I couldn't open it anymore AND did only a partial restoration because I was running out of memory (Stock Videos/Music... )) and Sprite Backup (Which looks quite good but requires Softresets all the time and the standalone-Exe needs to fit in RAM, I guess, so if it's bigger than about 180 MB it won't work... And apart from that it takes a minute to open up, Spb Backup with their separate restorer is better regarding this point). You know any others? I know about Sprite Clone, I think it would be very good for my purpose, but I suppose it's only a pimped up version of Sprite Backup... At least it looks the same.
I keep all my stuff on the SD card as well.
I have tried restoring apps after a hard reset and nothing woks as it should. Everything seems normal at first, but then small glitches start to appear.
The software you mentioned is pretty much the best out there, but I won't use any of it anymore.
dude, you gotta try Tomtom. imo it's the best app for the x1 and really completes the x1 experience.
I have . I prefer IGO8 though. I have tried Garmin XT, CoPilot 7 and some free stuff too. IMHO IGO8 beats all of them.
do you have the cab for IGO8?

Pocket GBA Screen Rotation

Pocket GBA is great and i've gotten it working but when i choose the landscape mode it's rotated the wrong way! (Seems like a fair few apps have this problem, would be nice if there was some gfx hack that would make them think they've rotated the other way )
Also I can't figure out how to exit it without soft resetting my universal.
to be honest i'm fairly dissapointed with the state of games/apps for the universal, a lot of them seem to be *so close* but not quite there, and naturally the author hasn't released the source so you have to like it or lump it(have the same problem with xbox 1 ports of things too, bah!)

to be honest i'm fairly dissapointed with the state of games/apps for the universal, a lot of them seem to be *so close* but not quite there, and naturally the author hasn't released the source so you have to like it or lump it(have the same problem with xbox 1 ports of things too, bah!)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Perhaps a hard reset could help
Remember Universal was made on 2005 so it´s a miracle it still alive and still one of the best devices ever!
Of course it has limits but I´m sure if you load a game launched on 2005 should work ok!
