Dashwire

has anyone ever tried this website? I just ran across it today.

http://www.dashwire.com/
[HTC Excalibur] jacknmary:
Ive tried it...dont care for it much....
[HTC Excalibur] dashwire:
No harm in trying... although I'll admit I'm a little biased :)
[HTC Excalibur] gixxum:
i like dashwire. it comes in handy with all these rom swaps...good to know i have a backup of everything if i really need it. its not a must have...but a nice to have :)
[HTC Excalibur] dbldown768:
doesnt having active sync give you the same advantages? I mean, when i reloaded my rom, all i had to do is sync up my contacts again. Also, if i make a change to my contacts, i dont have to remember to launch any program to sync them, it does it automatically.
[HTC Excalibur] pfunkside:
dashwire is pretty good. I love the fact that it saves the pictures and texts and what not. Yes, Active sync can do most of this or you can manually but you can organize your stuff all at once with dashwire.

One thing I don't like with Dashwire is that it won't read your memory card. Like if you have your photo's being diverted to your memory card then it won't pull them up. It has to be on the main memory.

Either way a nifty piece of software.

Poll: Favorite Apps for Dash?

Hi, im looking for some nice apps to put on my Dash, and a question popped in my head:

What are the favorite applications for the Dash?

I want to know what everybody's favorite applications are for the Dash. You may also post the most useful ones, and the ones you think are just fun to use.

If you want, it would be greatly appreciated, please say why its your favorite, or why you think its soooo useful

I may update this post with the top favorite applications, for any other people who would like to know some good apps for their Dash.

Okay, as you'll find out--this is a pointless post. I just wanted to share with you guys my total embrace of "geekdom" after my behavior last night... So, I'm about to head outta the door for a date--then my Dash's text message tone went off. Thinking it's just a random text, I peruse my messages. Lo and behold, who is this text from??? Frickin' SKYFIRE! LOL

As a brotha' was already almost runnin' late...I was this close (holding up two fingers to show how small) to sitting down and finagling with the new browser! If I had a Wi-Fi hub to connect to, it would've been game over.

P.S. By the way, I see now why there's no point to using Skyfire unless you're on Wi-Fi or 3G! The lack of speed was driving me insane! However, witnessing the flash content change on YouTube/MySpace was awesome.

A cool app for the s620? - Wish list

I'm searching for a project at the moment and am interested if anyone has any ideas for a type of application they'd like to see on the HTC s620. Perhaps something with wide appeal, or a missing utility? I can't promise the idea will go anywhere, but I'm interested in hearing what people think.

(Unfortunately an unlock program is out of my league)
[HTC Excalibur] dark0:
I'm not sure if the majority of dash excalibur users will agree or if it will be possible at all for that matter, but the only gripe I have with the phone is the damn programs still running in the background after I've exited to the home screen, so an app that bypasses you having to go through task manager to shut everything running in the background off would be awesome.
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
+ 1 - i'd surely want to see something like that what dark0 said. good luck and thanks for the efforts in advance :)

Smarttoolkit

Hi, I found a small program awhile back that I think works great! It doesn't shut the apps down automatically, but it makes it easier to close all at once. It has some other nice features as well. I use it on my C720W, first with WM5 and them with WM6. It worked fine with both versions. It worth a try and the price is right...FREE! It's called "SmartToolKit" Check it out. http://www.e-natives.web.id/ Cheers
[HTC Excalibur] uccellino:
So you mean a utility that automatically shuts all running programs down when you go back to the home screen? Sounds like a good idea. :) I suppose using check list you could include or exclude certain programs from this process.
[HTC Excalibur] dark0:
uccellino yep, thats exactly what I'm talking about, the check list would just be an icing on the cake :).

Tonerod I was actually looking for a more automated solution, I've used the smarttoolkit since alpha 2, mainly for the resource and other plugins, but the shutdown of all processes still reflects that of the excalibur (considering that the task manager is on your home screen in the list of an already ran programs).
[HTC Excalibur] Chillin:
I would love to see a proper way to organize the applications (meaning the list you see after you hit Start).
[HTC Excalibur] uccellino:
Sounds interesting, please elaborate... :)
[HTC Excalibur] dark0:
There's already an app that does that on wm5 and wm6. Jeyo personalizer will let you rearrange/organize your start menu applications.

P.S. this will only allow you to edit 7 icons/apps, I've tried other organizers, and they seem to be the same way, I've also read somewhere that the OS on your sp will only allow you to edit the 7 items, how true that is I don't know but from what I've tried it seems to be this way.

As an alternative you can create folders in your start menu (through active sync on pc by going into \windows\start menu folder) and group similar apps in those folders, in turn minimizing the number of icons in your start menu.
[HTC Excalibur] Chillin:
Thanks, yes that is what I was refering to, but even those 2 methods together don't give the functionality I would like.

1. Jeyo only lets you order the first 7, so the rest remain in random order.

2. Jeyo doesn't let you put apps in folders.

3. File explorer doesn't let you change the order of apps they remain in random order.

4. File explorer doesn't let you move certain apps into folders. Some it lets you Move into Folders, others it only lets you Copy into folders so you get the app in both places.

I would love to see an app that allows you to reorder All of your apps, and to be able to put All of the apps in folders.
[HTC Excalibur] dark0:
Actually you can create a new folder and move ALL apps into it.

Just soft reboot your sp (to make sure no background processes have the apps you're moving locked), then open the \windows\start menu through active sync on your pc and off you go, EVERYTHING is movable and no dupes get left behind, cut&paste or drag and drop both work.

Candlelight

I jaunt into the q stuff for homescreens and various apps.

Theres one they have called candlelight.

it just sets your screen to dim or bright.

For some reason doesnt work on the s620.

At night when i read books i like to dim it out.

if when i close the tornado power manager with task manager as in close all apps then the backlight doesnt shut off any more.

In short candlelight for the s620 would be nice, should be simple as the candlelight app should work but doesnt ....

I dont use tornado as it runs in the background and basicly annoys me.

what do you think?
[HTC Excalibur] Chillin:
Sweet! Thanks a lot, I didn't know that.

Now I just need a way to set the Order of my folders (since I have more than 7). And a way to organize apps within a folder.
[HTC Excalibur] Chillin:
Nope, actually that didn't work :(

I tried twice.

These four:

Messenger.ink

Windows Live.ink

File Explorer.ink

Voice Speed Dial.ink

Can not be moved. When you drag and drop it copies. When you right click you can only copy, not cut.

Also the folder that was already on the phone "Expert" does not show up in that list at all. However when I created a folder called "Accessories" The contents of the Expert folder shows up in that.

So as it turns out I have an Expert folder on my phone, but an Accessories forder on Windows>Start Menu, and they both have the same contents.

Actually as posting this I just solved the cut/copy issue. I copied and then deleted the originals. It made me confirm the delete as it said they were "read only".

I hope i didn't just ruin my phone...
[HTC Excalibur] ozziede:
Actually for task and app management. I use xbar. when you hold down the center button a small task manager window comes up and you can easily switch between applications with a button press. if you want to close an app you just hold down the button. I've had this little app since the first smartphones came out and it is still the first app I load onto my phone after ROM upgrades.

Free Program Memory - Let's see..

When I boot my Dash it show me almost 20mb of free program memory, but at the end of the day, after start and stop message, call history, calendar and others, I've got only 9 - 10mb free with every application close.

I'm running Tmobile Dash WM6 oficial Rom... this is a issue? It's normal? My friend have a Samsung WM6 Professional and it have almost 30mb free.

My phone:

Tmobile Dash

Tmobile Dash WM6 Rom (1.22.531.4)

[HTC Excalibur] surfing10:
Thanks da_mayhem.

I was using SKTools to free my memory.
[HTC Excalibur] quiksand:
Windows Mobile sucks at freeing up memory from programs that are no longer running. If I have 20 MB of memory when my phone starts up, I should have that same amount at the end of the day (w/ same programs and processes running). This isn't the case. My memory drops down to about 8 - 9 MB after a day of use. It sucks that I have to reboot the phone to free up the memory I should have available.
[HTC Excalibur] PhoenixAG:
I reboot my phone every 2-3 days. It works ok. Don't worry about the memory too much. Use it as a normal phone. If it starts acting weird or gives you trouble, reboot.

I used to worry about it unnecessarily till I realised that even with low mem, it works ok.
[HTC Excalibur] snudel:
why are you thinking about that? memory is there to be used. what windows does is, that it keeps the applications in memory as long as no other app wants to allocate more memory. and thats actually a good thing.
[HTC Excalibur] merwin:
This is about windows not releasing memory, not apps being closed. IExplore, the largest hog, never gets kicked out of memory, and has to be forcefully killed to get the memory back.
[HTC Excalibur] snudel:
thats wrong that windows does not close apps. it does. but only if required. it keeps the ppas in memory as long no other prog needs it. thats a feature!

why do you need 20megs of free mem? they are wasted. better have the frequently used apps still there.
[HTC Excalibur] merwin:
I'd be willing to bet that IE is top priority and will never be automatically closed. No matter how low my memory gets (even to the point of failing to launch apps), IE stays open. Also, it won't close any app that doesn't respond to the WM_CLOSE message. I write all of my apps to not respond to WM_CLOSE unless I initiated the close, since I don't want windows terminating my app without the user wanting it done.
[HTC Excalibur] Clymmer:
I'll tell you why...

Why do I want more free memory available? Because after a few programs (some are bigger hogs than others) being launched/exited, my Dash can slow to a crawl or just freeze up. If I run AgendaOne (nice app...but big), OperaMobile and/or some other stuff...and I get a phone call, a lot of times it can just freeze my phone.

Welcome to Windows Mobile!

The only way I've found to minimize the occurrence of that is to run Oxios CloseApps regularly throughout the day and reboot the phone at least once (usually twice) a day. It's so annoying that it

ALMOST

makes me miss the mono-processing PalmOS in that regard.

Unfortunately, this mis-management of memory combined with the additional load of phone features just seems to overwhelm the tawdry 200MHz processor on the Dash. I'm curious if S620 users notice this as much or even at all...

C.
[HTC Excalibur] unknown123456:
I have posted this before but I guess people overlook it. There's a program called AppCloser which will automatically close your applications whenever you go back to the homescreen. You edit the Apps.txt file to set it. There's are a few given defaults and PIE(iexplore.exe) is included. If you do NOT know what the .exe file is, just run it then go to your task manager and find out. You can input 32 programs at most the this moment. This is not useful to all programs but it is a life saver in memory management.

http://www.smartphone-freeware.com/download-appcloser-v0-1.html

it will link you to the author's website with instructions

http://wwwu.edu.uni-klu.ac.at/apitman/appcloser/index.php
[HTC Excalibur] snudel:
i never had that. i tried it several times. I opened every game and ie, contacts, calendar and tasks. I went to homescreen and waited. Next time I entered IE it was freshly booting up. So it must have been closed meanwhile. Don't get me wrong. I also reboot my phone from time to time and I also use task manager to close apps sometimes. But I don't think, that such programs make sense. The main programs I use can stay in memory. I think it is a feature.

I agree, that if you load facade or agendaone it sucks. but from my point of view these apps are too big for the s620
[HTC Excalibur] chaznet:
Facade works quite will -- doesn't cause any noticable slowdown on my Dash -- if there is any, the usefulless of the product far out-weights it.
[HTC Excalibur] surfing10:
Just like Clymmer says, I don't want to freeze my phone .. so for that, I always clean up the memory with Task Manager and now with Oxios Hibernate..
[HTC Excalibur] stickman:
Take a look to celetask.

Besides being a great task manager, it also allows to free memory as oxios hibernate does by issueing a WM_HIBERNATE command.

One of its strongest points is that allows to have a system shortcut mapped and then all of its features can also be mapped to any key.

It's really useful and it really helps to keep memory free.

Install PPC App on S620

[HTC Excalibur] Technology:
Yes, you can run a lot of pocketPC applications on the 620, but you will also need a application like "Spear" which gives you the ability to move the cursor around and allows you to click on area otherwise that would be not accessible to you.

WiFi Toggle

Hello all!

I'm using a DASH and came across a little app that I like a lot called BT Toggle (or something like that). It is an app that simply toggles your bluetooth connection off and on. I use that mapped to a shortcut I have simple one button access to bluetooth without having to open Comm Manager. What I'd like is a program that does the exact same thing for the WiFi connection on the DASH. Does anyone know of an existing program like this? If not, is there anyone that can build one?

programs and games made for your phone will have a .cab extension if they are to be installed from your handset. If they are .exe, they are designed to install from your PC via Activesync. If you have .cab files, just put them on your storage card and use your file explorer on the phone to find them. Click on them and they will install, just follow the directions.
