Hi P3300 owners,
After having my P3300 for about 7 months i'm still satisfied, it's more compact than my previous Eten G500 and is exactly the size of a phone.
I use it mainly as a phone, to take quick notes, calculator, gps. First I planned to use it as mp3 player also, but not too much at a time, to save some battery
I saw there is a P3350 allready with added 3G function,but don't need it for the moment. Glad to see this summer WM6 Crossbow will be available for our device (after it wasn't the case firstly) but our P3300 is award-winning, so it deserves the 'vista' for our pocketpc
Now i'd like to discuss some thoughts about new software / hardware :
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ROM
I still have the orginal rom 1.12.0.0 and GSM 02.67.90
is it worth upgrading, what is the best rom at the moment + advantages ?
In past I upgraded roms for my xda2i but now i don't seem to bother
2. GPS
I work with tomtom, satisfied, but could be better.
Free TMC instead of paid tomtom plus gprs services + more maps (Greece,Turkey,Thailand) for travelling is what i want.
I tested route 66 & destinator 6 in past but still looking...
Tried to install IGO 2006 and ViaMichelin but both said 'not a valid win 32 application'. I guess it's because I work with Vista 64, but same error on pc of collegue (XP 32bit).
The new Igo8 looks great in 3D : http://www.i-go.com/en/news/index.php?aid=110
What is your favorite GPS program? Your TMC works fine over radio without issues?
4. FREE GPS PROGRAMS
I guess this won't be as nice like paid programs.
Do you know any free gps tools with maps for travelling countries like greece,turkey,thailand for example ? Tried googlemaps and some other but did't get any images.
5. UNMISSABLE SOFTWARE
What are your favorite toolz at the moment ?
For me it's :
- SPB Pocketplus & SPB Backup
- Hitchhiker (still the old 2006 beta, no updates comming
- SkypeLowCpuBeta (free calls when travelling)
In past i tried mobimate world (nice for flight hours updating), Weatherstuff, and RSS News feeds.
6. EXTRA HARDWARE / ACCESSORIES
Checked Ebay for some very cheap usefull accessoires and I found :
- A silicone case + screen protectors
- A Motorola H300 bluetooth headset with 30 hours talktime + 30 days standby due to 1 AAA battery, that's a lot without recharging
- A dual sim adaptor (have 2 simcards, one with free sms after 16hrs+weekend, the other free talktime after 16hrs+weekend talk is cheap
So if you have tips / remarks on these topics, share your thoughts!
Ciao!

1. ROM
I have the same ROM. It s stable though so no upgrade needed (unless crossbow of course)
2. GPS
I use MioMap. I had the problem of 'not a valid win 32 application' when running the setup.exe from my pc... then, as suprising as it is, i understood that in fact i had to run the setup.exe from the PPC ! Maybe you should try that too...
3. ???
no 3
4. FREE GPS SOFTWARE
hmm nope i don't have any free one
5. UNMISSABLE SOFTWARES
- SPb Diary
-Spb Mobile Shell
-Citytime (as usefull as worldmate, but lighter and faster.
-Spb Brain Evolution (when i'm bored, it s good to train the brain
-Resco Explorer 2006 (it's a MUST. Comes with Resco Registry)
-MioMap 3.2 - GPS software, imho better than tomtom route66 or any other soft. Not sure what are the exact difference between IGo and MioMap, i just know they are almost identical and same manufacturer, but MioMap is stable on my p3300, Igo wasn't...
- PocketStars : If you like watching stars and want to have all the details of what u r looking at... it's the best. (includes gps function to give your exact realtime sky chart at your position!).
-Metro : all bus & metro of thousands of cities in your p3300 good for travellers.
- SKTools : to optimize the P3300 (free back the ram, deletes invalid notifications queues, etc...).
6. EXTRA HARDWARE / ACCESSORIES
no idea yet, just got my HTC for 2 weeks now, but that dual card sim holder u talk about interest me...

--------------------------------------------------------
Hi, glad to hear that u are satisfied with the P3300. I would like to ask you about skype. I use also the low cpu version (which hasn't been updated for some time now). The problem is that audio is terrible, i can't hear anything useful only a low pitch sound (although sometimes and for a second or two the voice is ok). Text chatting works very well. I believe that maybe is the slow CPU of the P3300 (and there was no improvement with Overclocking)
Have you noticed similar issues while using skype for voice calls?
Thx

There is no way that TMC will ever be possible on the Artemis, for free that is. Yes, I know that some users disagree, after all, when the radio can handle RDS, why cannot it handle TMC?
According to HTC however it is just not possible and I think they should know best.
Having said that, I do think TMC is not that great. It isn't where I live anyway, with lots of delays. TMC will inform me that there is a traffic jam on the A28, as if I didn't know allready, looking at the 300+ cars in front of me.
Thanks for the heads up on Igo 8, that looks pretty cool. Wonder how well it actually functions in practice. Anyone know if it's released to the public yet?
Firstly I am not having a go at any of the ROM creators here - just trying to understand what is going on with my device.
I have O2 Orbit, have used O2-WM5, B&B and now O2-WM6. Using Navigon 6.2 installed on SD card.
I am route planning for holidays and have a route that is a 3 hour route with 1 waypoint. I created this route when running O2-WM5. With B&B i cannot get the saved route to load, and often I will get a memory issue and be asked to close other apps (normally phone is the only other open). Tried using overlocker in case it was processor issue - no joy.
I reverted to O2 - WM5 and it works, upgraded to O2-WM6 it works. What is the difference with the B&B Rom? Is this related to Ext-ROM or lack of? Do all the HTC-home and theme take too much memory?
Thoughts and advise appreciated - and if there is a nice looking WM6 ROM that someone can recommend I would appreciate a link!!

Thoughts about Navigon on Mobiles
Hi!
I am facing the same problems (Navigon 6.1 on an O2MiniS, WM5). Only the simplest functions work -- as long as nothing else is done with the phone.
I have not had a chance to try this out, but this is advice I got:
a) use a faster (mini)sd-card. Amongst others, Transcend sells fast cards. Navigon does not advice doing this, but tells me I can try.
b) remove all superfluous maps from the card.
c) install the program so it runs from your mobile -- not from the card.
Let us know how you are faring!
Bob
Okay so this may be a Navigon issue rather than WM5 / WM6 / B&B ROM. I am going to try tomorrow to flash a clean rom, install no programs nor synch with laptop and see what happens then.
Currently with O2-WM6, synched (500 contacts / 100 email) the route planning "works" after a 60 sec delay before completing calcs from point a to b and then again from b to c..!!
Will let you know how it goes.
Thanks

Hello,
i have the same Problem. At all cooked ROM with more RAM MN6 are not Display the Route and crash. With orginal ROM and ROM with low RAM MN6 perfekt work.
Is there already a solution?
heross
I have never been able to resolve it. As a workaround I now use Hibernate before MN6 which seems to clear enough memory. If you find any answers let me know.

I've been playing with various satnavs over the weekend, all on the standard Dopod WM6 ROm... the following all worked, using UK maps, and planned a route from Suffolk to Lancashire (250 miles):
TomTom 6.02 and 6.03
Navigon MN6
Route66
iGo MyWay
My thoughts on them are as follows:
Navigon: Too slow, graphics unclear, not enough features
iGo: Not bad, but still junt missing a few bits
Route66: A serious contender, but you cant view your route easily or manually modify it or avoid areas. Speed Camera warnings are absolutely brilliant though, and performance is fast.
TomTom: Definitely the best overall - if it had free traffic and speed cam implemetation lice Route66, it would be a complete no brainer. As it is, the ability to avoid sections of routes etc and subscribable traffic if needed make it my personal preference.
If you need info on how to get hold of TomTom, PM me!
try that one...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316058&highlight=donothing.zip
it worked for me.
good luck
THX,
cleaninstall of MN6.0-> deinstall->update to MN6.2->install MN6.2 have solve the Problem.
MEMORY error is definitly a ROM version problem. Try a fast ROM like Vanilla 2.0 or Stripped HTC WWE ROM --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334810
Navigon need a lot of memory ~about 15mb free to run. I don't know if it's fixed with last update. I think that they are going to build more and more PNA and less PDA softwares updates. If you can try UPX4PDA That can compress your .EXE and .DLL, I 've done it for TOMTOM, .EXE ist now 920 Kb (before 2,30 Mb).
Anyway Navigon and iGO look nicer than TOMTOM, but TOMTOM run faster on PDA (with 200Mhz Processors). Gonna see with next generation with VGA and 400 Mhz proc.
hi,
I am readin with interest your post on the UPX4PDA.....
where do I find this app and does it improve noticably the performance of the application??
UPX4PDA really no matter for RAM problem.
Because once you launch your apps, it self decrompress it into memory and restoring it's original size.
With this tool, you'll only gain spaces on ROM and maybe quickest launch.
Only space and no speed gain.

I just reached my goal to cook a personal ROM, with energy saving and speed in mind. I'm using it for a couple of week without any problems
If anyone are interested in it, i will share it with you.
i'm not interested in last build/ last software version for now, but simply a fast, powerful and energy saver italian ROM.
My second goal is to create a "community ROM" with help from italian people with all software WE need. I think WE can do it!
Version rules:
all stable release will have "pair" number (I.E.: 0.4, 0.6 0.8, and eventually with some patch similar to "0.4.1", "0.4.2")
unstable, devel branch will not be released, but will have unpair version number (I.E. 0.3, 0.5. 0.7)
Developement Branch: V0.5 "Way to Home"
Improvements:
RSS Hub does not uses internal storage as i say, but still use extended 4GB drive. this may be be fixed now.
Updated TF3D Config 0.6.6 (thanks to sushilange)
Suggestion:
Internet Sharing may be added (wait for some other user request)
....
Post your whishlist
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
current stage: V0.4a "RED FLAG"
UPDATE: V 0.4.2 "GANDALF" (same as RED FLAG plus Internet Sharing and windows Live)
changelog from V0.3:
1) resolved issue N.3. now Diamond reboot itself after customization tasks.
2) Added "chiara" and "Roberto" TomTom voices. previously you are required to download from internet.
3) changed RSS default feed to RSShub to some italian intersting feed (trepubblica.it, beppegrillo.it, punto-informatico, Byoblu blog)
4) Rss Hub now store channel data in internal memory (\\program Files\RSS Hub\Channeldata) so you are able to connect Diamond as storage device to your PC with no more error message
5) Removed Sim Access via Bluetooth (anyone with a bluetooth CAR with support for it?)
N.B.: to help me with test, please use this rom without any system/registry/config/tweaks modification for at least 1-2 days.
also please post your personal changes so i may add in a future release.
If you want to try RSS hub modification, pleae backup and remove your previous channel data from \\memorizzazione interna\program files\RSS Hub
You may want to use another trick to increase battery life:
Go to Control panel -> System -> Battery -> backlight. disable auto, then decrease value when not connected.
(display uses from 40 to 70% of energy)
use Shapss Advanced Config to enable all minor Powersaving tweaks
internal, not relased V0.3
OS: Windows mobile 6.1 CE 5.2.19591 Build 19591.1.1.6
Sotware removed:
Youtube
GoogleMaps
WindowsLive
(because there is no internet flat rate for mobile users in italy)
VolumeControl
VoiceRecorder
VoiceSpeedDial
AdobePDF
AudioBooster
LockSreamDRM
WelcomeCenter
AutoUpdate
OneNote
InternetSharng
SQM
Costomer Satisfaction
All image and video sample
Software added in ROM:
total Commander with italian language
WiFiFoFum
Shapss Advanced Config
Opera 9 Italian
Diamond TF3D Config Setup
TomTom 7.450 black edition (you must buy and activate maps from tomtom site, i do not support any kind of piracy)
Registry Tweaks:
Disabled "Receive all Beam" by default
Disabled all Security warnings concerning certificates when run an unsigned apps
Enabled/Increased Filesystem Cache
Disabled SMS threading view (you can enable it via registry)
HTC album does not close but minimized when tap "X"
More Camera mode enabled (sport - GPS and contiuous)
PagePool 8MB
Known issue:
1) There is a "customer satisfaction" links in control panel (but obviously it does not work)
2) I can't integrate WOW_HD for now, because i does not load the driver. so you need to install as a separate CABS
3) After first reboot, some HTC customization task start. When finished, you will see a black, empty today screen. you need a manual soft reset to start manila
Thanks to
Olinex for HardSPL
Alex for its chitchen kit (some things was very useful!!)

that's the post i want to see!!
There is some reason:
In first, this first release is cooked for myself, and i don't use internet sharing.
In second, there is NO internet flat rate in italy, and browsing using mobile connection wase too expensive. (are you italian.. isn't it? you know..)
In italy, we can buy 500/600MB of traffic for about 20€. more traffic cost about 0,6 €cent every KB with all operators.
otherwise, you may buy traffic by a time basis, from 20 to 25 € for 100 hours, in 10 minutes step (updating your RSS feed in 10 seconds costs 15 min, for example).
exceeded 100h traffic cost 0,6 €cent/KB with all operators.
But with suggestion like your, and if other users need it, i will add in the next release.
Of course, you may suggest an additional software list to remove...
For example, probably most users does not use MP3trimmer, but need Internet Sharing

you are right about the cost... but... i really need internet sharing , thnx for add it in the next release
I would buy HTC Diamond and I'm very glad all people like nushuth that work on italian ROM. Thanks!
Italy operators offer a lot of internet flat... with my Tutto60 i'm happy.
BTW, i don't understand why you removed WLM but included some apps (like TT7, TCommander, ecc) that can easely work if installed on HD.
However, thanks 4 your work, i'll give it a try on its 2nd release., i really need IS since I don't have an internet connection in my home.

Simple:
there is 10 people who need TT, for 1 people who need internet sharing.
i'ts true, TT can be installed via CAB.. but WMWifiRouter can be installed too. it works better than internet sharing and have more options. Anyway, i am cooking same ROM for you with ICS included, called "0.4.2"
About internet flat rates...
you mean "TIM tutto compreso 60"?
if so, it's not a flat rate but only 600MB /month.
as i say, no italian operators have a REAL flat rate. with iphone you ccould have a maximum of 5GB /month with about 200€ per month. this is the maximum offered in italy. but tis is NOT a real flat, 24h24 no traffic limit.
Also i use the internet sharing with my laptop to visit some web pages
3€/month for a bonus of 750€ @ 0,003€/Kb with Wind

Wind is the cheapest operators, for internet. but as you say, is not a real flat.
In the past wind offered a real flat with GPRS connection... but not now.
if someone need an ADSL without phone line (not mobile.. a real flat ADSL) i suggest NGI.it
help me please... this rom have block my diamond..
now it's in blot on sturt up
Hi,
The windows live messenger mobile doesn't support webcamviewing if i'm not mistaken ?
Isn't there a tool for ppc of which we can see a pc webcam on our P3300 ?
It's becauwe we're going on holiday for a longtime and our 2jr old baby stays with grandparants, we will have free wifi in our hotel, and it would be nice if we could see some live videos through a webcamtool via wifi.
I know the video is gonna be less smooth due to tio omap low processor (or when wifi reception is not optimal) but I would like to test it, I think this should be possible with a ppc. So no real video-conferencing cause it's not between 2 phones, but ppc & pc.
Using my htc's camera as webcam is not possible otherwise i guess?
Anyone has experience from receiving or sending as a webcam?
Thanks!
Cheers,
Innovator
Maybe you lookin' something like that?

Good luck, Luke
I'm using WebcamXP and u can google it or go directly here ->hxxp://www.webcamxp.com/home.aspx I'm running 4 webcams at home and I can view them with my artemis installed with this program. Of course having a noip or free dyndns account will make life easier in tracking your dynamic ip.
Hope it helps.
thanks, i'm going to test the webcamera plus...
concerning the webcamXP Mobile v1.15, the link does not work
save as doesnt work also for webcamxp.cab
does anyone have or find this cab online somewhere else?
Thanks!!

Since this is a freeware for private use, I am sure it is ok to post the cab here otherwise forgive me mods.
The new remote desktop client from ms has two annoing things:
1. It automaticly discconects after 10min sharp
2. I can't make a connection to the internet
1. In de early wm6 client you can add the value mintoidletime:0 in the registry or in the default.rdp file. Then it won't dissconnect what is perfect, but in the newer version it does not work anymore.
2. If there is no internet connection it is not able to make a connection to internet, like ie activesync can.
Can some patch the mobile client dll or exe so it won't dissconnect after 10 min with a little explation for further releases how it's done?
I don't think it is easy to solve 2 with mod the exe or dll but how know's.

Hello,
please, how to edit or where modify the mintoidle in the registry.
I need in wm6 solution this problem (10 min idle), but i don´t know.
thanks.
sorry for my bad english
yeah
Would you like to have the total home made installer or just the dll.
I found a way my self and now it works great as it should. rdp 6.1 and 6.5 i have.
they still can't make the conenction by itselfs but the time limit is gone.
