Hi Guys,
Anyone know of a good application that gets rid of all the old garbage on your pocket PC (temp files, temp internet etc)? Also, do programmes exist that defrag a PPC like a normal Windows PC? (I appreciate the hardware and technology is different...) Freeware would be cool but would consider buying if it was really good.
Thanks
I'd recommend and personally use SK Tools; it's discussed in the WIKI HERE under 'Commercial' but I think it comes in some of the cooked ROMs' as well.
Best wishes
pocket mechanic is also good, will also defrag memory cards and clear registry entries.
Try CLEAR TEMP, it's FREE and a VERY SMALL FOOT PRINT: http://mobile-sg.com/software/?p=ClearTemp&platform=ppc
---
Thanks guys, I'll cook up a little sample and see how it tastes
Tried SKTools and was very impressed with it. Think I'll trial it until it expires but if it continues to shine, I'll be more than happy to pay the pittance it costs to register it!
Thanks for the info...

Does anyone did a internal memory upgrade to 128mb in the Qtek S100? Where? Is it worth the price?
Thanks!!!
It's awesome ... 57Mb internal RAM is simply not enough. After the 128Mb upgrade, I did not have to select what to install in RAM anymore, and everything runs more smoothly than it did in 64Mb (I have an upgraded i-Mate Jam)

where did you upgrade your i-Mate? Just curious.. 8)
What exactly are you using all that RAM for? I've installed all I need, and I have plenty of space left.
Hi,
How can I upgrade my ram? Is it possible to use parts of other pocket pc's? I have a Qtek2020 which I could use for parts... (it's screen is broken)...
Thanks,
JeDa
Mine was upgraded by www.ppctechs.com. I have a requirement for the following programs to reside in RAM, since about 3 hours of my working day are spent connecting to the corporate Lan with a wireless SD card. One look at the list should indicate that I mostly use my PPC professionally.
TimeTTracker

Looks really powerful! I might check this out!

Looks good, really good. But if you're at your own premises (like you said) you might as well use the real thing on a full size computer with a full size keyboard to save some time.
KSE Truefax
Why? You must have fax machines at your company?
PocketPlan
Useful if you have project plans allocating your time on an hourly basis, if not - why do you need it in your pocket?
Citrix Client
VNC Client
Terminal Services client
All three of them? You should have your company selecting a standard environment. And WTS client is in ROM so that does not really count as something requireing space on your device.
TomTom
For navigating the corridors?
Adobe Acrobat
Reader or writer? At least on the QtekS100 there is an acrobat reader included in the ROM.
PocketLauncher
With SPB PocketPlus, why do you need this?
Peacemaker
Why exactly do you need this if you're connected to the WLAN?
Commontime mNotes
I guess if you're stuck with Notes you're stuck with this.
PIToday
Something like this should really be standard, but I personally prefer tAgenda. And does PIToday work with mNotes?
Hudson Phonedashboard
You have a company phone, right? So why bother?
PocketZenPhone
Nice one. But not really useful until I can use the volume slider to pick between different profiles.
Tube PRO London and Paris
Beutiful!
Pocket Informant
Does this work with mNotes or is it just a "nice to have"?
Sprite Backup
Is this really necessary? If you syncronize with your server using mNotes it seems a bit overdoing it.
SPB PocketPlus
This should be on every PPC!
SPB GPRS Monitor
Again, why? I used it for the trial period to find out roughly how much I was spending, but now I just don't bother. If I don't need to know I don't want to know.

It's mainly for reference purposes during meetings. The sheets I work with sometimes lose formulas in the translation to Pocket Excel
KSE Truefax

Yes, but some faxes I receive are confidential
PocketPlan

I have project managers in my staff, and need to able to see impact of changes in resource allocation, time frame changes, delivery delays during meetings in which we discuss these

My company has a standard environment. Our customers usually do not.

For getting to my office Actually I travel a lot by car, both for work and private.
Adobe Acrobat

Reader, and it's better than the westtek one, period.
PocketLauncher
With SPB PocketPlus, why do you need this?
I like tabbed menus better full screen than on the today screen. I do use pocketPlus, but only one single line for the key programs. The rest are organized in Pocket Launcher
Peacemaker
Why exactly do you need this if you're connected to the WLAN?
Peacemaker helps me exchange appoinments with people who have PalmOS (quite a few among my customers do)
Commontime mNotes
I guess if you're stuck with Notes you're stuck with this.
Yep
PIToday
Something like this should really be standard, but I personally prefer tAgenda. And does PIToday work with mNotes?
That's the fun of it. Regardles of what you use, all appointments go into the pocketpc underlying database. All PIMs are nothing but frontends in front of that same database. PIToday provides the list on the today screen, pocket informant gives me a more complete and detailed view when actually planning, and mNotes synchronizes that same underlying database with Lotus Notes.
Hudson Phonedashboard
You have a company phone, right? So why bother?
No, the PDA is private but I use it for work. The phone part contains my private number. I also have a company phone, but that is a phone only.
PocketZenPhone
Nice one. But not really useful until I can use the volume slider to pick between different profiles.
useful enough for me though
Tube PRO London and Paris
Beutiful!
No comment
Pocket Informant
Does this work with mNotes or is it just a "nice to have"?
As with PIToday above. PIToday is only a today plugin, Pocket Informant is the real PIM, and yes, Pocket Informant Rocks!! (and mNotes synchronizes my data from Lotus Notes to the PPC Database, so yes, for use with Pocket Informant.
Sprite Backup
Is this really necessary? If you syncronize with your server using mNotes it seems a bit overdoing it.
Yes, it is neccessary. A PPC usulaly not only contains data that can be synchronized with the desktop, but also license files, configuration files, favourite settings etc. Besides, PPCs do crash, and having a self extracting backup handy on a memory card gets you up and runnign in 30 seconds, back to the state your machine was in before the crash.

I need to know, since it's my private subscription. Aside from this, quite a few companies allow you to use a company phone, but with a quota above which one has to prove the calls are buisiness related, so yes, tracking calls may actually be of importance for more people than you would imagine.

Ok, I wont quote the long text :wink:
Although I would have chosen to carry a small laptop for some of the tasks I agree that if you don't you probably need most of the software you listed.
To Wiz:
With all those application running, How is the battery life on 128MB ?
thank you
As far as I can tell, battery life is roughly the same with 128Mb installed, maybe slightly better even since I do not have to start programs from SD anymore.
how much memory now is free after a hard reset?
My sister has been asking me for a while to find her first electronic organizer, but knowing her I can't give something too techy and complicated. She will barely connect it to her PC very often.
Main requirements are : calendar, notes and I suppose contacts.
Camera is a plus.
Do you know of an "easy" girly phone, that is not too geek like most of the ones we have ?
like the equivalent of the Palm Zire for instance, these ones were just doing the basics if you didn't look behind the shell.
thanks.
Does she want WM5, Palm, Symbian? Does it need to have a phone and if so does it need to be 3G?
Maybe something like HP iPaq 1950?
It is a WM5 device but it's one of the basic ones, no phone / GPS / BT (has WIFI though).
It's pretty stable so no need for "tech" stuff if you only want to use it as an organizer and it is very compact.
Plus if she wants to add some games or something later that will work too.
Don't underestimate women. My beautiful wife (yes she dose read this forum ) has had XDAI, XDAII and atom. She is not very good with understanding how computers work but still manages to work all the features of ppc's. The main question would probably be the price. Here the HP version of the atom (I can't remember name) is probably the cheapest pda phone and its got all the features.
Well, I'm not sure about your sis, but as far as I know, girls look for looks on things they use. So, probably the Zire22 are small and girlish enough for her to use. I personally used both Palm and Windows PDA. In organiser wise, I find Palm's builtin PIM is better and clearer. However, unless you get the advance version of Palm PDA (eg TX), your sis maybe having problem with the handwriting 'mechanism'.
Anyway, for Windows based PDA, I think it is very basic anyway. You just key in the required field without the need to know other things. If you are to use the PIM without much of your personal requirement, you won't need to do things like reg hack And, I find that girls can seems to tolerate things that they don't know (eg, they hardly customize a PC, though they seems to like to customize a bf). The most they want to do is to make them look pink.
Ask your sis, which PDA she likes (eg the looks and size, and colour) and it may help you in choosing. Let her have a look on the PalmZ22, as I remember, there are `converted` wives with Z22. It doesn't have a camera though.
http://euro.palm.com/uk/en/products/z22/domore.html
I agree with Hanmin
the look is more important,
I will check with her first of all.
I used a Palm for years before PPC and yes.. I forgot about the letter recognition :-(
thanks for your help guys !
if u want phone capibility and camera and ability to choose the colour of the device (it comes in white, red, orange, and silver) go with the upcoming treo 680.....its palmOS based though..
i think for a very basic user windows mobile is not good. for example activesync and hotsync......
Hum, in my mind the choice will be hard
Bring her in a shop and show her the main differences about capabilites, look and ... prices...
Sometime we want a very simple things but when we discover advanced features, we want ALL ! A geek is sleeping in all of us
Have a look at the o2 Stealth.
Just wondering, any updates on this? What is the one she chosen ?
Hi Guys,
On this site you can now download Syntrax for free: http://www.finished.nl
How do I know this? I created the program myself
Should work on all ancient and modern PocketPC's (except the weird square screen ones)
Enjoy!
Reinier
Excellent.
Does it come with sample sounds, or do you need to provide the sounds for the sequencer?
Hi,
No sampled sounds allmost (It would add to the size too much)... but a lot of preset synthetic sounds.
But sampled sounds are possible, so there's no stopping you from importing them!
Reinier
Will it work on the samsung sc3 processor.
euh...
if it's compatible with arm then it will undoubtedly work.
I used to have sh3 and mips versions of the software. If needed I can upload them, although I'm unsure if it will be the latest version.
Sh3 was really slow by the way... I can remember not many audio channels were possible on my ancient hp jornada. The oldest Ipaq however already was more than quick enough.

I'm using a touch diamond and finished.nl is telling me this is not compatible, is this true?
nice one, I got this before when I used to have a P910i
you have to register to handango to DL
Syntrax 2 Pro?
Hi there Reinier,
Glad to be able to chat to the syntrax developer.
I would like to know if you have any plans to update this application making it easier to use and perhaps moving away from basic analogue emulation or at least expanding the pallette?
I had it on my previous phone (tytn 2) and couldn't really get much out of it despite following the tutorials. I suppose i'm used to my pc programs and a full screen though i'm sure there's things you can do that work better for the much smaller phone screen.
I am not a developer/programmer myself but would be more than happy to come up with some suggestions and ideas for you to work on.
Of course time is money, so you should really think about making it a purchasable item should you wish to put the necessary effort in.
Look forward to hearing what you think in regards to this.
Simon Jarvis.
It runs portrait though. It would have been nice to be able to run it in landscape.
is it ok with the touch diamond? I got the incompatibility message from Handango too!
This looks AMAZING though & I really want to be able to run it !!!!!!!!!
Can anyone reccommend a good free scientific calculator for windows mobile?
Thanks

Hi Neil,
I use this one and it's been perfect:

Hope it helps,

Any chance you could post the cab file here as the link to the file doesn;t seem to be allowing me to download it or cannot find the file.
Thanks

If you dont mind paying, HiCalc is the best calculator i have ever used. It even draws out the calculation like you would see it in a book or on paper. It does everything.
Oops, sorry.
Just google'd Calc98:
You could try:

I confirm. HiCalc is an incredible piece of software, but it isn't free
HiCalc crashes when you try to quit the application on the Touch Pro. Emailed them and no support, making me regret buying this thing.
This is the one I use for several years now, and I've seen nothing to substitute it with.
It isn't for free though............
