Transcriber/Drawing Tools & Applications - Palm Treo 750

I just noticed on my Cingular Treo 750 that there is no Transcriber tool. Is this the same for everyone? I know on my 8125, with the built-in Notes application, I can do hand-written notes (and not have that transcribed to typed notes) and draw as well adding pictures and illustrations. I can't seem to find that functionality here on the 750. Could someone tell me if it's like this for all Treo 750 or if it's just mine/Cingular? I like the option of adding a drawing or illustration once in a while.

Figured it out. Someone on another forum said that under menu, there's a draw option for those of you who may also be interested in this. I also discovered that if you handwrite text in the "Draw" mode that is described, and then go back to menu, tools, recognize--it will "transcribe" handwritten text into typed text.

Recognition in WM6

It looks like a feature in the Notes app has disappeared with the arrival of WM6. I used to be able to scribble down text and then later select "recognize" from the menu and then it would turn the scribble into text (sometimes). The menu option isn't there in WM6.
Does anyone know if it's possible to put it back, or else find a way of gettign the old app to run on WM6?
Thanks for any advice.
While it's missing in the Notes app, it's still available in Word Mobile under WM6. . . at least, it is on the Wizard Xplore WM6 ROM (which is the one I'm using)

Profile Switching, Calendar and time based

Hey, I'm looking for a program that will switch between Profiles (Silent/Vibrate/Normal/+user defined ones) automatically based on defined times AND on my calendar entries (also differently depending on the calendar entry)
I used to have Photo Contacts PRO, which did all of the above (and more it also had an automatic SMS reply option, and the profile could have exceptions for certain numbers)
Photo Contacts PRO seems to have stopped working with 6.1 (Gonzo) so /shrug
So my questions are:
1. Is it possible to get Photo Contacts working on 6.1 or
2. Is there a program out there that does a similar job with Profiles? I don't really use the Photo Contacts part of Photo Contacts PRO, just the awesome profile part
Any hints/Tips etc welcome
and the answer is CTscheduler
It accesses my calendar for timing as well? I read through the description and couldn't find that bit.
Tried installing it on my VOX and when I select the program it just gives me the "busy" circle quick, then doesn't do anything else... (same as Photocontacts actually) is something missing/setup wrong? (WM 6.1)
You may want to try AutoFlight. It does have these features.
Ok Autoflight works, but I don't really feel like rewriting all my appointments for the autoprofiles bit to work. (photocontacts just accepts ANY entry in the calender and not specially prepared ones
SPB Phone Suite (Don't know if it works for Smart Phones as well)

Marking Mail as Read

Anyone able to think of a way to have it so that messages would be marked as read when previewed in TF3D (similar to text messages)? Sometimes I've already read an email, or it's short, or it's not something I care about and would rather not have to open the message to mark it as read.
Thanks.
use flex mail it is much better than the standard outlook and you can mark mail's sms's as read or unread...you'll never go back to outlook again
I've actually heard good things about FlexMail before. My only concern is that I really do like TF3D, can FlexMail replace Outlook for the mail tab and still work with the fancy (lol) previews and such?
you can try Samapa programe to change the default tmail.exe to flexmail i never tried it..but i tried and changed successfuly the all contacts soft key in touch flo to open icontact and the calender button on the home tab to thumbcal ..so try it and let me know what happens
I'm sorry... Samapa? Google'd to no avail (well, as far as phone-relevant things go).

I think I am going to chicken out and not try it. Other than sounding a bit complicated (maybe just because I am a noob on my first WInMo device), but I also don't see anything where it would be able to maintain the preview functionality (and allow that preview to mark the message as read, which is my actual "issue" or whatever).
Thanks though!
I'd also love to be able to mark emails as read from the TouchFlo preview pane, without opening up the mail app (whether that's Outlook or something else). I do like the idea of the preview, but it would make a significant difference if I could use it to mark unimportant and short emails as read in one step.
Anyone?

SMS to multiple recipients in WM 6.1

Is this possible? I'm new to Windows Mobile and I can't find any way of sending the same SMS message to more than one contact. I've done a search on the forum but haven't been able to find a solution frrom those old threads.
Any new and easy solutions you guys know of? Thanks!
Anyone?
I have a new number with my new WinMo phone and need to let all of my contacts know, of which there are around 100.
I like the following, GroupSMS. There are others as well.
Thanks for that.
The problem with I'm having using that app is that I can't sync my HTC Touch HD with Outlook, it just says "Outlook has not been configured". So I have no way of copying the contact from my phone to Outlook and hence am unable to create any groups in Outlook to sync back to my phone.
Help?
Hmm, Ok, I don't use Outlook so don't know how to help with that. May want to bring up those issues within the GroupSMS thread itself, see if others can help.
In WM6.1 the standard messaging client allows for SMS to a lot of people. Simply press the TO: button to add additional people. The format goes like this on mine when auto inserted from the contact list:
Xda Developers <8085551211>; Thresher <8083332222>; etc
When I am typing out multipl contacts in SMS i simply type the name, then hit enter, I then type another name, choose it and go from there.
It sounds like that is what you were asking but you got a lot of varied results. Perhaps groupsms is easier to use or something but I do not know. You only need what wm6.1 has to do multiple sms sending.
Is your Outlook (not Express) in fact setup and operational from your desktop?
i just start a new sms
click [to] text
add a contact click [to]
add another and so forth
I can't understand how it's not an easy thing for MS to implement, if I have a group set up called 'work', in the To: box, I put 'work' and it text's to everyone in the work group? Surely that wouldn't have been hard to implement?

Word Completion (Registry Hack?) on the HTC Touch HD

Hello
I own an HTC Touch HD device running on WM6.1.
I have loaded quite a few external applications such as Pocket Informant and Flexmail onto my device because they're a lot better than the inbuilt ones. However, the problem is that the Word Completion setting will not work in these programs. This is the setting that, once you've typed in two letters, starts to give you words on the screen that you can then tap on rather than have to type in full. It saves a lot of typing time so diary entries, e-mails and text messages can be more quickly inputted and sent.
I was wondering if anyone could let me know how I can enable word completion to be triggered in all programs through maybe a registry hack or any other means. I would be very grateful for your assistance.
Regards
Nigel
Same problem here wit ha P6500, anyone??
