I would advice you use SmartToolKit RC08 as it works well with the dash, can be downloaded @ http://www.neilmorgan.co.uk/btbbanywhere/closing_applications.htm. Place this file on phone via active sync or beam via bluetooth find it via Filemanager on phone and click on and install. You will need to go into it's options to get it to load @ startup.
Hope this helps.
More software available @ http://www.neilmorgan.co.uk/btbbanywhere/software_good.htm

I've been wondering about this myself... After getting a screen capture on SmartToolkit, how do you get the bitmap to display in your post as a thumbnail? For some reason, I can only get it to be an attachment--but I want it to be visible to everyone as they scroll past my post.

hmm, I've never had a problem with this. All i do is take the screen shot, then put the xx.bmp on the desktop, upload it as an attachment and viola, it's there
if you want, i'll do it right now.
EDIT: I just realized what i did, open image in paint, save it as jpeg and upload the jpeg. it should work fine
Good Luck !

I like "My Mobiler". Free app, runs from your desktop and allows you to control your phone screen and save screenshots directly to your PC.

Are you running WM 6.1/Vista? I'm having trouble connecting it. Ok, i tried everything but it just does not connect, Ahh - Even tried connecting from the phone. Nothing happens. Just says connecting but never ends up connecting.
Can someone else try it out & tell me if it's working for them or not?
You know what, It's the damn firewall in vista but even after i turned it off, it's not working.
Oh well, nevermind
VISTA SUCKS - There you go, had to say it.

Pocket Controller Pro by SOTI is the way to go my friend
If only there a was a way to write sms's as well on the desktop, that'd be great...!

I use Smart SS
http://www.louterrailloune.com/smartss/
I also notice that there is now Smart SS+
http://www.louterrailloune.com/smartss-2/
I like that it is a small specific app without all the other junk like Smart Tool Kit. Not that I don't like Smart Tool Kit but it has a lot of stuff in it and if all you want is a screen shot than this app will do.
Seems like SMart SS+ will allow you to take .png and .jpeg as well as .bmp

Thanks for all the links guys, I will def try these out.

How can I automatically take pictures in specific time intervals?

I was wondering if there is a way (or a program) to automatically have the camera take pictures at given intervals - for example every 5 or 10 seconds for a given period of time or until a certain number of pictures has been taken.
I want to take pictures of a bunch of note cards, and I don't want to manually press the button each time.
I hope someone can help.

Thank you! The links on that website are all dead, but I googled the program name and found where to download it.
I works fine on the Blackstone. Thanks again.
EDIT:
For those interested.... here is the download. It says you only have 15 days to use it. The author seems to not support it anymore (not easy to find, and not available for download on his website either). He has now made his other software available as freeware (it was shareware). So, maybe if you contact him, he will also make PPC CamTimer available for free??? You can also see this XDA thread with the same topic (I didn't find it until now).

[HTC] Touchxplorer release

http://forum.touchxperience.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=582&p=2310#p2308
julian schapman has just released touchxplorer there are some limits
it seems to only work on htc devices. Non htc devices will have to wait a bit...
The device is only meant for chevron unlocked/developer unlocked devices that are HTC
Have fun with it

As a matter of fact, tried it on Samsung Omnia 7 and it didn't work. Very promising

Anyhow, already had it loaded on my phone since earlier. Been monitoring his site. It works as advertised. Can't wait till we get some more functionality =D

I like it. Work very well. Top!
One wish I have:
In the folder "Windows", if I mark one file, open this and go back,
its a litle bit sad, that open after from the begining "Windows", and begin not at the last opening.
You have after to scroll a long way down, till you are at the last file you see.
But its only a detail. ;-)
Very good work!

Here we go again.
Some apps in the legit market place and others in the grey market. Yay?

Is it possible to copy WP7 to PC?

works outstandingly! very fast, very smooth on my device. got a custom ringtone!!!!! thanks so much

I actually had this installed for the past week on my HD7 which is what I am typing this post on but just 10 minutes ago a message came up and stated that Touchxplorer has be revoked by Microsoft and it would not let me do anything TILL I uninstalled it. Anyone else getting this problem? Looks like I will have to reinstall it somehow.

Zune likes to relock the device which causes that error... you just need to unlock it again to get it working.... very fun game of unlocking all the time...

There's one bug: sometimes after backing to the previous folder the list displays each item twice. Except that, the app works perfectly.

Just got an error. This app has been revoked by m$hit please uninstall. Should i reinstall it and will it work?

m$hit? Really? You purchased and use a product by a company you refer to as m$hit? You don't seem like the brightest person in the world and definitely not the most mature. I have to hope you're 12 years old, I would prefer to not believe an adult would be so lame.

Hi I also really tried but I can not find how to install this on my HD7
Can you or somebody please explain how ?

Did any one had success in copying files from WP7 to PC or the other way around?
I used the zune storage hack and copied some word documents on to the device, in the same folder I have put 2 ringtones I know work using ringtone installer from chevron, some photos and other files.
Sadly I can not find them anywhere on the device via Touchxplorer?
Any ideas?
The same the other way around. Found all the folders holding my music/videos (albait not with original file names) and tried copying other files in there including wp7 ringtones. I can see all items that were there when zune added them but none of the one's I copied.
Any solution?

how can i install it on my phone?

[Q] Help! 3ga to mp3 converter

Last night I just held my S2 at shoulder level half way back in one of my wife's concerts in a 12th century abbey here in France, and to my complete surprise the "voice recorder" has produced the most superb recording when I was about half way back in the room (swallows and bats flying around as well!).
Only one problem.
I can send the file to my box.net site and everyone can download and listen using Apple Quick Time, but the French would love to convert to mp3.
I can't seem to find a programme that does it.
Thanks for any help.

May work for you to change 3ga to mp3
Hi,
This isn't very technical, however, I just changed the file extension from .3ga to .mp3 . I just gave it a try out of frustration and it now plays as an mp3 on all of my devices.
be sure to copy the file and then change the file extension on the copied file in case it doesn't work for you.
Hope it helps.

Hi major c,
I had the same problem a few days ago. I solved the 3ga to mp3 converting problem and wrote a small HowTo. I used the programm "3GP to MP3 Converter".
Here you will find a short description how to convert 3ga to mp3 files.
Hope this helps you,

While this method allowed me to play the file, I still couldn't edit it, since it's not actually an mp3 file. I tried the SUPER converter software suggestion posted earlier. Great conversion software that is completely free and supports the .3ga format (as well as many others). Worked for me.

thanks for links to super and formatoz otherwise I would be going around in circles.
got here via google!

I FIND GOOD WAY to make the file.3ga work just change 3ga to 3gp and play with windows media player ver 12 it work very good

I arrived here via google..
I had a 58 minute file that needed to convert, and although changing the extension did allow me to play the file on the computer, it began after the 12 or 15 min to have blank spaces in the audio (like if I pressed "mute" for a second every 20 or 30 seconds).
The solution with SUPER erightsoft did worked perfectly, dropped the file, selected mp3 and reenconded it in 10 minutes. I just played the entire file and it doesn't has any gaps or blank spaces.
Thanks!

Google Music Beta on tp2

Hello everyone, I'm a total noob here, and I have been searching my butt off trying to figure out how to try and get the music beta app working on the TP2. I am running froyo7. It seems that in my build. android market thinks that my phone is a Mid-Tex Cellular, when I am actually a sprint customer. Now before anyone say "search" I have I have been reading up how to edit my build.prop, watching youtube videos on how to as well, with a lot of google searching on the side. I am getting most of my info for different phones and don't know if these codes will work.
In my search the closest that I found was this quote from this thread...
"When using this ROM my device shows up as "Mid-Tex Cellular" on the Android Market.
Is there any way to change this?
..............................................
change the line in build.prop that is closest to this to this:
ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-google-us
it should have come as this out of the box
ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-sprint-us"
When I look in my build.prop I can't find anything close to this?
A little help for a worthless noob would be awesome.

Well first I would simply try adding that line to your build.prop. Just because it isn't there doesn't mean you can't add it .
As for Google Music, I am a member of the service but haven't messed with the app on my phone. Only listened to it on the webUI. I guess I need to try on my phone .
Edit - did you just try installing the apk directly? Seems like a much easier solution...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1072655
Edit 2 - just installed that apk myself, works fine. For some odd reason I can only get it to show local music tho, I don't see any of my music that's "in the cloud"... hum.

hey,
check whether your google account sync in settings is syncing to google music. also for me, I had to restart my phone to get the app to realize that my google account had music beta.

I checked the sync settings, that was my first thought.
I'm leaning towards your second suggestion, since I haven't rebooted since installing it. Thanks for the suggestions.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. I searched like crazy for music beta, and never came up with that thread... I am going to try it as soon as my lazy phone decides it wants to work. LOL
This is what I am talking about with the Mid-Tex Cellular, I have gone to the web site, the market etc... and it wont allow it to install. So this is why I was thinking about changing the build.prop, but I don't exactly know how to... I have searched, but I don't know if I can just add some random code from my first post and have it work?
