Have a look at this...

http://www.nomadelectronics.com/PocketPC/PocketStars/default.aspx

You can download a free 15 day trial to see if you like it.

I've used it for years in its various versions.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Sweet action, dude. I'm trying out the trial right now, but we just had some nifty weather so the stars aren't visible. I'll check it out when it clears up. On a scale of 10, how would you rate it? Also, are you using the latest version? Thanks for the feedback.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] fingerstoo:
I have used it for years too. On latest version. The GPS facility allows you to see exactly what is above you! 10/10 for me. Had astronomy programs of various sorts on WM devices. This is the best. Worth buying.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Lakota:
I'm on version 6.1.

For what I've used it for it's been fab. I'd give it a 9/10.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] coder12:
Another great one that I use is Astro Navigator 2 :)

It will pick up your location via gps and the night vision mode it includes works pretty dang well!

See:

http://vitotechnology.com/astronavigator.html
[Windows Mobile Software Development] fingerstoo:
Now I don't vote for that one. The display of the constellations and the whole GUI is a bit quirky. It seems to me that it was designed by a graphics artist rather than a "creative" astronomer. I got so fed up with it that I uninstalled it. Pocket Stars wipes spots off it (or knocks stars into it!).

Pocket Stars has GPS and night vision colours you can choose.

For years I used Pocket Universe 2000, designed for WM2003. It was never redesigned to work with WM5 and WM6. It would work but you had to avoid the first splash screen, else it locked up! But it had the simplest and easiest to understand GUI and clear star display and even a tree lined horizon, if you really wanted it, as an option. It might still be around on the internet. I bought it and used it for a long time, but I bought Pocket Stars and it is now so much better.

I see DeathmonkeyGTX has now asked for a screen save. You do not need to do this really as you can recreate the sky for any place and any time and then view it. However, if you want to save a screen (of any app) then you could run Resco Photoviewer or some other graphics program than can copy the screen on the WM device and save to microSD etc. I use Pocket Stars at 640 x 480 (VGA) resolution. Have a look at the web-site of the developers to see if it works on 480 x 800?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] khaytsus:
Looks like I need to update, I'm on version 6.0, but I've also used Pocket Stars for the last three years or so I've been using Windows Mobile.

I would love to see one that has the blinking light. Like the car fresheners or antennas we used to use before all these touch screens and apps. I liked that! I had a really cool blue one for my V550! But since we have no external antenna a dangler would have to do!

Hello there everybody! Just now, I had a phone call, which I hadn't been aware of the battery condition. The phone ended up dying. Now, what happen is I'll connect it to the charger and power it on. Right when it loads the main screen after a minute, it dies immediately. I have now had any success with random attempts. Can I have some advice?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] BlueMoon.Shadow:
Hey,

I don't know if this is the same problem you're having, but when I got my wizard (2nd hand), it wouldn't charge at all, no light, no power-on, nothing. I googled around, and one solution was to briefly apply 3.7 to 5 volts directly to the battery. If you don't know what you're doing, I advise strongly against it, but it worked for me.

The thing is, the wizard has this mind-numbingly stupid feature: it won't charge unless it's on. So the battery has to have enough juice in it to boot up before it can charge. By connecting another battery or a power source directly to the battery's terminals, you can charge it up just enough to turn on.

Don't try this, though, if you can find another solution. Lithium batteries can explode and cause 3rd-degree burns or property damage if handled incorrectly. You have been warned.

Anyone having troubles with exchangesync for the past week ?

I have an account with them and all the sending of emailed get "Delivery is delayed to these recipients or distribution lists:"

And then a few days later I get another message saying the exchange server failed to deliver my email

It's been a week. They don't answer tickets, their online chat doesn't work and calls to their hotline ends up on an answering machine

Are they getting bankrupted ? Anybody else having the same issue ? (I didn't change anything to my setup so I assume the issue is on their side)

If someone else knows a good Exchange service, I am ready to switch. No email working properly on my phone (or home) for a whole week without even any feedback disgusts me...

Mods, if this thread is in the wrong section please move it to the right place

So many to choose from these days.... eh? I'm a loyal Windows Mobile fan myself but let's see what everyone else thinks! Feel free to express your opinions in this thread about your favorite OS.
[General Topics] JAguirre1231:
They all have their strong and weak points, but for me, my OS of choice is Android :D
[General Topics] androidlicious:
As much as I love Android, I still feel like the iPhone OS feels the most polished OS out of the group. Sorry, but that's just my personal perspective. But if it were only based solely on features and function, it would be Android! Unfortunately, aesthetics and usability are big factors for me in an OS and Android just lacks those characteristics at the moment.
[General Topics] galaxys:
I've tried a few including WM for 4 years. But, I've settled on Android...for now ;)
[General Topics] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
I'd say Android, mostly because it's based off the Linux kernel, making it extremely versatile. I used to love WM because of its open-ness, but Android is a much more polished OS compared to WM, yet with all the customization and openness that WM has (until WM 7.x). Considering I'm running Android on my iPhone 2G, my Kaiser, and my Rhodium, Android wins on the versatility and customization factor.
[General Topics] JAguirre1231:
While yes, some people don't like the look of Android (I don't mind it), I most certainly don't think that the iPhone's "all gloss and shiny" is any better.
[General Topics] eaglesteve:
Looks like another thread involving Android versus iPhone comparison, though other OS are also going to be discussed. I would rather keep my mind open and try to understand as much as possible what each has to offer first before making judgement. I'm trying to do that in this thread. You're invited to participate.

One important consideration is what sorts of hardware choices the OS let you have. iPhone is extremely functional, fast, smooth, visually appealing, and customizable, have great applications and ecosystem, but doesn't give user the choice of a 4.3 inch screen like Android. I'm hoping to look for something positioned in between the iPad and iPhone.
[General Topics] adcore:
Voted for android, after having tried an iphone 3gs for fit and having bought a desire instead.

My background has been a long line of symbian and win mobile phones, starting with p800 and finishing with the htc hd.

Don't get me wrong, the iphone was good in terms of user experience and apps, but I don't like non or pseudo multitasking and the apple attitude towards devs and development.

That was the same reason I didn't wait for a win 7 phone, as it seems that microsoft is heading the same way.

Meego might be good, but right now it's only on paper.

Sorry for referring to slightly off topic OSs but there is an "other" choice on the poll, no ?
[General Topics] androidlicious:
This I do agree.
[General Topics] abc27:
Maemo followed by Android followed by Symbian
[General Topics] 8525Smart:
If the OS is taken by itself with no external factors (e.g. apps), then I would say Palm's WebOS as the best OS. If it was the OS with everything it comes with, then iPhone OS is my favorite.

I voted for the latter. It's silly to think of an OS by itself when it can be augmented by apps.

Yes, it's called MapDroyd but it doesn't have search function or navigation function. You can download the map of any state or country you want to SD card and it can show your position on the map. CoPilot functions as a GPS for car (Does not require Data plan) and it cost $30 for US version.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sk0t24:
Great info, thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] flarbear:
I'm curious where you get the 10-15% discharge warning. The articles frequently mention that the cells can die if they go below 2.4V, but they also mention that the circuitry in the batteries prevents the batteries from getting anywhere near that threshold. When the battery meter on the phone says 10-15% it is very likely not indicating "within 10 to 15% of causing serious harm", but actually indicating "within 10 to 15% of the lowest safe level that I will allow you to reach".

When you hit "0%" on the phone's meter which you must do to properly calibrate the battery, you should still be safely above the danger point, as long as you recharge the battery soon and do not let it sit for a few days or weeks. It is only when you get to 0% on the meter and then let it sit where the self-discharge can then cause it to approach the true danger levels.

Or, at least that is the way I have been reading the Battery University article for the past couple of years that I have been helping people with their Lithium Ion batteries, so please point out the text that might show a misunderstanding here as I don't want to be giving bad advice.

I typically tell people not to do regular deep discharges anyway as recharging from such a state causes more heat than a shallower recharge and the heat is one of the biggest enemies of these batteries.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] flarbear:
Another source for Lithium Ion recharging tips from the Battery University:

http://www.batteryuniversity.com/partone-12.htm

That page focuses more on charging concerns and provides some additional recommendations...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DarkDvr:
Thanks for pointing that out, that part its a general advice of when users should plugin their phones, coming from the information of trying to stick to a half-charge (or 40%) as close as possible. Besides, google decided to warn you at a 15% level, so this seems to be a good number to use.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DarkDvr:
Thanks, indeed a great article. I decided not to include it in resources though, since it's a bit too technical for the purpose of this article.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] flarbear:
The 40% charge is the charge level that you should "store" a battery at, not what you should keep it at when it is in use. Where do you see the 40% mark cited for any other purpose?

The 15% warning from Android is simply a warning that it is close to running out of power and may shut off if you don't go looking for a charger now. It is a practical warning to avoid the surprise of reaching 0% and shutting off when the user is not paying attention to the meter.

On the contrary, your first bullet item uses the word "BAD" in capital letters and spells doom and gloom about killing part of their battery if they go below that level. That amount of severity in that comment is completely unwarranted. It is not true and it will scare people off of using their batteries to their fullest capabilities and scare them off of doing calibration cycles when they need to do them. When the warning pops up you don't have to turn off your phone to avoid damage - just be aware that you only have 15% capacity left. And discharging to 15% and then recharging because you are scared by the advice in this thread from going lower will not recalibrate the battery meter.

Any way I look at it, your bullet item #1 is providing no value at all and could potentially scare people into non-optimal battery maintenance routines.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DarkDvr:
Alright, I guess you got a point there.

I've corrected that bullet to be less tragic =)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] flarbear:
Excellent rewording!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DarkDvr:
Thanks for your help :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jasrups:
Great thread man! I knew most of that stuff already but didn't know about the WiFi's effect on the battery, I always thought it drained more battery than using 3G. I also didn't know it didn't drain any battery when not in use so thanks. Guess I'll be keeping that on from now on!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] flarbear:
The Google.com/phone specs page lists 5 hours internet usage on 3G and 6.5 hours internet usage on WiFi. That doesn't necessarily make sense when looking at the graphs above because 3G idle is less than WiFi idle and 3G full is less than WiFi full, but WiFi gets data transferred much more quickly (latency is much lower and speed is much higher) so it probably spends less time in the Full state. Either way, I haven't noticed any battery life problems leaving my WiFi on all the time...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RogerPodacter:
i'll never believe that wifi is worse than 3g, no matter where i read it. the last 3 years, every phone i've had lasted much longer using wifi over 3g data. 3g data just seems to annilhiate my battery. but wifi it seems to last much longer. and google's specs seem to reflect that!
