Is Anyone aware of any software utilities for the Pocket PC, for Tracking your ebay auctions(I've seen Palm and Smartphone versions) as ebay dont seem to offer a PDA version of their Site ?
Can obviously still view Ebay fine on PDA, but was looking for something simpler and quicker.
Abidia Wireless is exactly what you need and best of all it is free as well.
http://www.abidia.com/p2-46.html and click on the PPC[2000/2002/2003] link on the left hand side.
Xcellent, thanks
Hi
I just installed Abidia, the items Ive won is incorrectly showing items Im watching, and using the search, all the current bid prices are wrong. The images are not displaying, although they have downloaded as I can find them with the file manager, finally the first letter is missing on the descriptions. Does the software really work?
What are the benifits of paying for this service, as all the functionality is there already (although not working for me), will it stop "working" after a few days if I dont subscribe?
Cheers

It says $2.49 a month on the site, where is the free version?
Hi
It’s the same download I think, you just don’t enter the Serial number when configuring it. Maybe this is the problem.

Hi All,
A few weeks ago I downloaded a small brilliant and useful programme off the net for my XDA2s used for discovering wifi sites in different towns.
I was able to tap in the town In the UK and it would come back and tell me the local sites available (not neccessaraly to connect me) .It appeared many of the towns in the UK were covered.
For the life of me I cannot remember the name of the software and I inadvertantly discarded it....but now wanting to put it back on my XDA2s.
Can any of you knowledgeable guys help me out with the name of the pprogramme I wonder ?...........and of course where I download from ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards to you all and thanks for a great site.

WiFiFoFum?
wfifofum?
I thought so initially but I cannot see anywhere in that programme where you enter the names of a uk town unless I am missing something?
Thank you for the reply incidently.

Hi,
While I am waiting for my MDA Pro to arrive, I have been reading a lot in the Universal section (have a BA myself).
May I ask for some valid reasons why someone would want to use homebrewed WM6 releases instead of official/customized WM5?
I do understand the fun it is to try out new things, but is it really worth it? I did not find many posts that would clear this question.
Thanks,
vma
WM6.0...
The new look and a lot faster device...
Is there any feature that won't be available with WM6, that did work fine in WM5?
Thanks,

The way I see it, WM6 may or may not work for you and may or may not do it for you. Try it. You can always go back to WM5. Most people don't.....
Well .... the simple answer is that I did a lot of searching and reading, and finally tried it out for myself.
I asked this very question a while ago right here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1130569&postcount=88
And came to the follwowing conclusion:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1155497&postcount=89
In the conclusion, the thing about the Bluetooth Stack / Voice Command - it was actually Voice Command that was the problem and this issue was fixed in Jrwightmcps' 2.02.00 WWE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297256
Crossbow ONLY!
Tell you the truth... i see the new WM6 is better eye-catching GUI not to mention the enhancement in the functionality and other usability such as email related functions. I know that MS wont just upgrade for no obvious reason nor for desktop OS compatibility.
Yet i reckon i wont -never- go back to magento! Crossbow ONLY!
@nvatvani:
Indeed your posts where the only ones I read, that contained some usefull info about the subject.
No offense to all the other members of course!
I was simply wondering about what to do when my MDA Pro arrives: replace the German firmware with a WWE WM5 one or go straight ahead to WM6 without even looking at WM5.
Also, I had some problems with my Blue Angel, when I tried WM5 on it: it may have been a coincidence, but one day after the upgrade the screen went mad and totally messed up. Only 1 Hardreset in about 100 tries would bring it back to normal for some period of time and even reflashing it with WM5 or 2003SE would not make it work normal again. The screen would get messed up suddenly for no particular reason. At the end I had to send it in for repair, which was actually a good thing, as I complained about the loose stylo and bad working hardkeys, all within warranty. I got a new key-pcb, backside and they reflashed the device with 2003SE. I posted this issue in the BA forum, but got no usefull hint. This means I am a little scared of upgrading to unofficial releases.
Other than that, I have no problems with flashing, as I do that on my other hobby (satellite receivers) frequently, including JTAG-operations for repairing bricked devices. The same applies to games consoles. (Note: I do not sell or benefit commercially from that activity and my goal is not to get illegal software or TV - not that you guy's get the wrong idea about me).
Anyway, thanks for your replies!

What Windows Mobile 5.0 AKU 2.0 has and Windows Mobile 6 (the cooked ones, having tried them all) doesn't have, according to my experiences:
1. Videocalling - at least not a proper one
2. Bluetooth Dial Up Networking (the DUN profile)
3. Wireless Modem (yet some WM6 ROM's have it, although without shortcut in the start menu)
4. Cyberon Voice Dial by default (some WM6 ROM's have it by default, others will need a 500kB CAB to activate it)
The reason why I went back to "good old" WM5 is mainly the reliability. Ok, the OS may be a bit slower here and there, but it has all the functionality (e.g. videocalls and Bluetooth DUN), and NEVER hangs. It just always works and that's what I desperately need right now.
---
The things Windows Mobile 6 has for me that 5.0 hasn't which I miss the most:
1. High resolution browsing in the normal Internet Explorer (I don't want to use alternatives)
2. HTML email support
3. The impressive speed of the OS
Applications like WM6's Windows Live and the superb Remote Desktop Client are also available for WM5, so I don't need to miss those, otherwise I sure would, and then I might have sticked with WM6.
The new sounds and GUI are great, but I don't really miss them, since that's not a true functional thing.
Having WM5 up and running again, without freezes and memory leaking and with full HTC Universal functionality, is enough for me to be happy with it and to stick with it. If there ever will be a ROM that actually ADDS Windows Mobile 6 on top of all of this (without a single registry tweak or CAB fix needed), then it's the time for me to upgrade again.
If such a ROM will ever see the daylight, since it won't be officially available for the Universal, I don't know. I think the HTC X7500 (Athena) will be there sooner (April 2007 over here), and that one will have a official WM6 upgrade for sure. That'll be my next one, so until then: WM5 for my Universal!
So far for my opinion.
why do I use WM6

To be honest, I used them all and later delteted them after 5 2 hours. They leak a lot, ram is at minimum and useless third party applications, and a lot fo thing sodn't really work or missing (I just want a vanill aone without 3rd party applications).
Except for one rom, Darkforce, it is fast and furious, and so far I have using it for two days; battery usage is good, and no leaks. However, no video calling, and no way to set com ports for bluetooth devices. any1 has this problem?
However, common to all ROMS, no video calling, old calculator, speed dial messed up (some work and some don't), wireless connection bubble missing (yes you can install a cab but I don't want to do that).
<Mind you, contrary to other reports, I never had any freezes with any rom.
The thing that attracts me is HTML in email, High resolution mode in explorer, better remote desktop connectivity.
So I thhink I am sticking with DarkForce ROM, so far so good.
Thx
Hi folks.
Not been on here for a while but I got a new XDA (Touch Diamond) and I'm looking for a freeware app that used to be around for producing forms. I figured the vga screen would make it a less laborious task than last time I tried it.
The software is called (I think) X Designer or X Forms by Grandasoft. The Grandasoft website is gone so I guess they aren't around anymore but I was hoping someone would have a saved copy I could snag. Not asking for illegal software here as I said it was free anyway.
Failing that, could anyone suggest a similar software I could possibly use. I want to be able to tailor and produce a daily report sheet from a template and then send it back to my office by FTP or email.
Cheers!
Pete.

Google is your friend.
Cheers buddy, but I had already got those and they don't work. You need a key (which is free) but I can't get one because their website doesn't exist

Hi everybody,
I am new to this forum and I have hesitated for a long time before I signed up. The reason for my hesitation: I didn't want to start off crying for help. Nevertheless here I am. After about a week of searching the www I thought what the heck. That is the purpose of a forum, share knowledge.
I am a (German) retiree living for many years in El Salvador, I’m old but because of my curiosity I feel quite comfortable with modern technology. I have installed and configured Garmin Mobile XT (which I found on the web while looking for answers ) and it works perfectly.
For about 10 years I have been a customer of TIGO (Millicom) and never got anything for free from them. So I decided to ask for something and I got a free Phone (he who doesn’t cry, doesn’t suckle ). It’s a Samsung SGH-i637, non-touch-screen, in your neck of the woods known as Jack (internet wisdom) and distributed by AT&T and with a certain keyboard layout (AT&T button).
The OS is WIN Mobile 6.1 Standard and I want to use voice commands. Every lead I found refers to that particular button to activate that option. Now, my phone doesn’t have that button, it has the Windows Live Messenger button instead which, surprise surprise, takes me to Windows Live Messenger. Some people said to look in Start-Settings-System. No such thing in my phone either.
Just as I have surfed the net for days I have done the same of all the menus in my phone.
Now my questions:
How to access that option?
Does WIN Mobile 6.1 support that option?
Do I have to upgrade to WIN Mobile 6.5?
Is an upgrade recommended? (Pros/Cons)
I really hope that some merciful soul can take this burden off my shoulders.
