Must have application for VOX - HTC Vox

Hi. I have never had any application on my HTC S710, but I found a site called handango and bought three I found very usefull.
This is what I bought:
Chronos alarm clock
SBSH Papyrus and Facade
So when i managed to find three just by looking at handango, there must be many more that I need. So does anyone else have a application that they recomend? Post it here.

You should have bothered looking into the forum. There is already a thread for Vox applications.

Photo Contacts Pro is a must for me
Not because of the photo contacts, but because of the complete profiling options... and by complete I mean COMPLETE
Auto Switch profiles (also different depending on type of meeting)
Fixed time Switches (like night time peace and quiet)
Exceptions (Group exceptions (Family) or single exceptions (Wife/Girlfriend))
"Quick Profiles" like -> Quiet for the next 2 hours (for watching a movie)
etc.

Here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364928

you should have bought from the developers directly.
handago really rips the developers off with their huge commission.

I didnt know that. Im gona buy directly from the developers next time.

Calendar - Hide tentative or categories from Today Screen?

Hi,
I have a bunch of appointments in a category called South Pacific (my gym) which I have also labeled as tentative. I wish that all these appointments would not show up on my today screen, as it clogs it up and makes it hard to see my actual meetings. I would prefer to just see them in the actual calendar app instead.
Is there some way I can hide either tentative or certain categories from the calendar on the today screen? If not, is there addon software that would do this for me?
By the way, I have a Wizard that I just upgraded to WM6.
Thanks
Hi, I just answered my own question.
If anyone is searching for a similar solution, I googled "today screen hide free appointments" and found TodayAgenda: http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/todayagenda.shtml
Totally free, does exactly what I want (and more, I have only used it for 2 minutes) plus it works with windows mobile 6. Did I mention it is free?

Is there really a big delay when opening/closing the keyboard?

yes every day there is the same question and thing I'm doing, looking to the web for news about new MS mobile devices..and now thinking about buying the Vox. But the only thing so far I couldn't live with is that there should be big delay when opening or closing the keyboard.
How do you rate this?
Its a few seconds...maybe more if you have many apps running in the backround, but then everything runs slow when thats happening on any WM device... dosent bother me...

To be honest in my opinion its not as bad as other make it seem, as long you keep tabs on the programs you have running in the background every now and not running with only 1mb free memory then you shouldn't have a problem. One tip you can try is disabling the sound it plays when switching views in the settings. Made the switch slightly faster in my opinion.
Without the Sound it is maybe 2 times faster..
thanks guys for your prompt answers!!
Do you have a clou whether the important progs like PocketInformant or AgendaOne are running without problems in landscape mode?

I use AgendaOne and I haev not had an issue with it switching orientation. However Documents to Go has a problem as does SmartPhoneNotes - they will not fill the screen, you get a scroll-bar on the righe, pretty much making it still portrate..

hi John
I thought one doesn't need smartphonenotes anymore as WM6 should have its own notes taking application?
As well as Office Mobile (doc, xls, ppt) should be on board, isn't ?
I really don't see what the fuss is about speed of the screen rotation. Its not like it takes several minutes. Approx 1-3 seconds depending on what's running in the background is perfectly fine.
hi guys, I don't want to make the Vox bad, I'm asking because I had the same issue with HTC Hermes, which was also quite ok after I disabled the sound. It also depends on how many applications are installed, loaded in memory, how much memory is free etc. But reading one of the serious reviews like the one from mobile-review - I rather ask for opinions of users before I buy it.
Thank you all
Can somebody tell how is it with the mobile office? Is it really not included with Vox as I read also somewhere? And is there a mobile note application synchronizing with Outlook?

You can edit existing documents but you cannot create ones, correct?
How about the notes application - possible to synchronize them with desktop?

Yes it has them...but WM6 does not allow for creation of new items in Office Mobile (although there is a hack to get around that) but I personally find Documents to Go a better offering than what MS gives you. I have word docs sent via email that dont load in Word mobile (on WM5 or WM6) yet have no problem in DTG...
There is also a 3rd party notes app - but no way to Sync to Outlook, thus I use SmartPhoneNotes.

You know...not to go way off topic here, but I thought I was going crazy one night because I could not figure out why there was no Calculator on the VOX...it never crossed my mind that it would be under "Office Mobile".... Since I never go in there with DTG installed - makes no sense at all to me for it to be in there...
My 2 cents
John
this is really a place one should go to - getting answers by like-minded people.
RE notes / synchronization - you know that there is a new beta out there of phatnotes by phatware? It supports WM6, might be a solution also for the landscape issue with smartphonenotes described by John...?

Didn't know about it to be honest, will have to swing by their site and look it up.
I guess I should note that DTG and Smartphonenotes are landscape aware, I used them just fine on my BlackJack...and I noticed today actually that if you start them in landscape mode they auto-rotate just fine....its only when you start in portrait mode that they go whacky...
Take care - John

Toggle only private meetings on today screen

Hi folks,
I searched an hour and couldn't find anything: I want to be able to (easily) switch the today screen calendar to:
A) only show private meetings
B) show all meetings
The Nokia N70 does this nicely but I couldn't find any WM software to do the trick. I own a Nike with WM 6.1 btw.
The reason for my request is, that on weekens I would like to be spared with being reminded of meetings next week at the office - improving my work-life-balance ;-)
Anyone know of a solution?
Thanks & Best regards,
p0lDi
This is a wonderful option to be implemented into poutlook. I know you can filter your appointments by categories rather than by status.. so i assume that if you're willing to accept this it would not be that hard to write a quick script which switches between filters.
do you think that would be enough?
not sure - I would assume that the filter is not applied to the today screen, or is it? Also I use categories for other things already... But maybe I just got you wrong ;-)
Well, i assume that to filter to the today screen you'd need a seperate application... but i'm not sure.
The windows today plugin is indeed very basic with only few to no options.
You'll need a separate today plugin like SPB Diary or WebIS Pocket Informant.
I'm sure there are lits more.

Need better freeware calendar application

Sorry if this was posted already in any form somewhere else.
If so, please point me to the right thread and then lock this one...
I'm sooo pissed at default calendar application in WM 6.1 Pro.
This is what I get (attached screenshot, Screen03.jpg):
What I SHOULD see there are 2 birthdays on 2009-03-06, one on 2009-03-10, one on 2009-03-12... you get the picture?
I want to see lunch on 2009-02-28 AND multi-day event 2009-02-28/2009-03-01...
Not to mention that if I have 2 or more meetings on the same day, I want to see how many meetings I have... Not that just see meeting...
Is there such freeware calendar application?
You can try the free version of ThumbCal. You can find it in the forum of the website.
http://thumbapps.com/
This is the wrong place for questions.
Please refer to the Q&A section.
Thank you
Que?
Ups! Double post!
Que?
I think this is the Q&A section
Try the TodayAgenda as well. It's totally freeware.
Tried ThumbCal, and that's not what I need/seek.
TodayAgenda is nice, but also not what I need/seek.
Thanks for pointing to that software, anyway...
Currently S2U2 shows much needed info on locked screen, but S2U2 is no calendar application...
I can only think of a few calendar applications.. none will fit the EXACT description.. and some will show other things...
Thumbcal can be used for weekview where you can show all appointments on the same week
HgToday/HgAgenda are today plugins and stand alone appointment/task viewers
Calendar+... also a today plugin, and you can choose how many rows/appointments to show

Medication Notifier / Scheduler

I am looking for an APP for my HTC HD2.
I have to take different medication couple times a day, and unfortunally I often forget them. Therefore I look for a simple application that helps me remembering to take my medication. Using the standard calendar is not an workable option for me.
There is an application for the Iphone called MedsLog or MedsLog Lite, I look for something similar , but for Windows Mobile 6.5 (HTC HD2)

Hi,
I was thinking modifying SleepSense for this but don't know if my solution is workable.
You can set a alarm for every day at 9:00
This is the starttime but you can set also the next alarm with: 60,60,120,120,etc.
This would set the alarm to go off at 9:00,10:00,11:00,13:00,15:00
Is this workable ?

I can see your point i take 58 tabs a day have done for 10 years and you do forget sometimes
Possible solution: G-Alarm
I found G-Alarm (thread about this program can be found on this site). I will try this to see if this works for me. This alarm allows to make many alarms (not just the 3 standard alarms from WM).
