Before I got my Blue Angel I had a Treo 600 for ages and I still miss some of its cool features (and size/weight).
One of the nice things about SMS on the Treo was that it would organise the messages into a thread between you and each sender/recipient so that they would appear like a chat or IM session.
Anyone seen this on PocketPC ?
This chat style IM setup is standard on most Android smart phones - if you don't have it, you should consider the app market for Chomp or GOsms
Since Win Mobile supports this feature from 6.1 onward, you can also use a Windows Mobile 6.1 or 6.5 ROM, both of which can be found in the forum here.
Works quite nice on my Device.
I am getting started with the Blue angel (O2 Xda IIs)
I like it a lot this will probably become my best buddy during my travels
I intend to use it for business purposes, mainly Internet through
Wifi and GPRS, pdf and offices documents.
I saw on this forum that you advise to change from WM 2003SE to Windows Mobile 6 (the last published by Microsoft)
-My question is: This PDA is already a bit old now, is it going to work smoothly wit the very last OS, which is designed for more recent PDAs (i.e which should be more efficient).
I mainly want to use it for Internet, wich browser do you recommend ?
Internet explorer? Opera Mobile? Opera Mini? other browser?
By the way what is the difference between Opera Mobile and Opera Mini
1. I propose you to search for information about differences between 2003 and wm5/6. Ity is hudge.
2. Look for problems you might encounter after update (not to be suprised). WM5 was never officially prepared and unleashed for BA, so it's straightforward and problem-free, but it works fine after all, if you know what you are doing.
3. Yes, WM5, WM6 and even WM6 work fine on BA (with some usual small problems). Speed is very good and much better than many other devices (for example my HTC Hermes is MUUUUCH slower that BA).
4. It's worth updating mostly because new software is usually not compatibile with PPC2003 any more.
5. Browsers: you have to test and decide on your own what you need, how you want it be feed and what are your restictions (speed, security). Like there is no one car for everyone (apart from Ford T) there is also no one browser for everyone. Test, try and choose on your own. You have the choice now (IE, Opera Mobile, Opera Mini, Netfront and 2 other experimental based on WebKit).
Opera mini is a java applet: you request a page, it is prerendered on proxy server in Norway (at Opera) and send back to your phone in scaled down version. Cheaper, faster, but less secure (never use it for your online banking). Works on virtually any java-enabled cell phone with internet access.
Opera Mobile is full Windows Mobile browser that downloads and renders everything directly on your phone. Worth trying, especially upcoming 9 series looks promising (alphas are already circulating on XDA forums).
hey people, i was just wondering if there is a google sky type app available for windows mobile. for those that dont know what it is it displays the names and location of stars using gps and an inbuilt compass. however, im not sure if the touch pro 2 has the necessary hardware to run such an app.
any info would be greatly appreciate
thanks
I would love to see this on the WoMo platform.
it's not looking too likely.. hopefully one day its released on windows mobile though or someone creates a similar app
Here you go. Vito Astro Navigator. http://vitotechnology.com/astronavigator.html
The TP2 does not have a built-in compass, only GPS.
Google Sky
I've been using Pocket Stars from Handango for about a year.. awesome little program and a data connection is not needed!

Correct, the TP2 does not have the necessary hardware. The HD2 has one. Have seen the program on an Android phone, and it's a great way to show off the hardware.
i just installed xandroid on my TP2....and downloaded the google sky app via android marketplace...and installed it and it worked perfect.
the gps can be used as a compass i believe.....
someone needs to make this a winmo app and make it for free !!!
I upgraded my Dash's rom to Love 6.5 v6.30 and it has Pocket IE 6. It is now not opening properly. I do not want to reflash my phone. I would like to find a proper cab for either IE 5 or 6 or a working WAP browser.
I don't have a data plan and I use Pocket IE to access the few free WAP sites T-Mobile offers. I have tried using UC Browser but I just can't seem to get it configured properly.
Can someone help please.

Well, I use opera mini. You can "google" it
Seriously, a simple search can solve the browsing app options and answered your questions.
Having this, thread closed.
Hello...
I'm working on a mobile version of a website and I don't know anyone with windows phone 7.
Would a couple people be willing to try and break it and tell me if something doesn't work?
I have access to test with windows mobile 6.5, android, iphone, and blackberry.

Looked good to me. Navigation was clean and fast, and the audio links all worked fine.
The only problem I saw was that all of the "Most recent" links on the free downloads page took me to the same place - the current schedule page.
Oh, boy...
Thanks for pointing that out.
I used ? instead of &.
JJ
That showed up another problem.
Apparently, my code on listseries.php was funked and it showed the same Recent Messages instead of the messages for each series.

Functioned well for me on a Samsung focus
Sent from my SGH-i917 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Runs smooth and looks good on my HD7.
Do the mp3 links just start playing or does it require the file to download and open separately?
WM6.5 only downloads.
JJ
They started playing immediately for me.
it is working very well
Hello, again...
Would some of you wp7 guys test another link for me?
I'm working on some streaming mp4 video and it's working for iphone/ipad, but not android or desktops.
I'm wondering if it works for wp7.

No, it does not work. It tries to play it as a video (in full screen), but then it says that it can not play the video. Are you using a video format that Windows Phone 7 is supposed to support?
I don't have the foggiest idea.
It's a live stream that is going through a third-party streaming company (we encode, live, and stream to them, then everyone connects to them for the stream).
I've just implimented the code that they provided and it works for apple devices, but nothing else.
JJ
Edit...
Apparently, it works on a mac with safari, but not windows with safari.
JJ
Sorry, we can't play this file on your phone.

I get a white page that says "Live" in the top left. This is the same whether I choose "desktop" or "mobile" settings in my browser

I'm not concerned about how things look or function, just what background color shows up in portrait and landscape.
In theory, it should be blue for portrait and orange for landscape.
Please test with any browswer that windows phone 7 supports, if possible.
Thanks...
JJ
Seems to work with IE9 (WP build 7712)
However you can't read headlines/Links in portrait mode since they blend with the blue background
Color changes (so does the font size but i'm guessing that has to do with whatever you tied to the orientation). So to verify above, you're good on the 7712 mango build.
Yeah, the functionality of it is meaningless, at the moment.
I was in the middle of testing some xml loading and decided to try some css media query stuff.
It's lame, though, as my windows mobile 6.5 internet explorer isn't using media="handheld" or min/max-width.
JJ
Worked perfectly here.
