what programs are u using on ur dash

Essential Software
Well, I am sure this is a common question with any new phone. I have been trying to transfer some of the applications such as Pocket Plus, MS Streets, etc. from my sister's PPC and I have been unable to do so due to incompatibility. What software do you guys recommend that is compatible for the Dash?
I would like an e-mail software that works over Wi-Fi rather than T-Zones. I do not have the data service from T-Mobile but am constantly covered by Wi-Fi from my school.
In addition, I would like something that would keep my finances in check. I had a software called SplashMoney for the Palm that would synchronize with my bank account everytime I AutoSynched so that my account would automatically be updated. Anything like that for the Dash?
Finally, I am wondering if there is a MS Streets program for the Dash? As a new resident of Boston, I am constantly getting lost in this web of streets. Something to guide me from A to B would be essential.
Thanks again guys...

Using the e-mail on the dash will use the WiFi if you have a WiFi connection. Make sure your e-mail is setup to connect using "The Internet" and it will use WiFi and if you don't it will use T-Zones.
However I would wait for someone else to confirm what I'm saying just to be safe.

Good to hear. Do you know exactly how to set that up?

What e-mail domain are you wanting to setup?

What do you mean by domain? I am using my school's e-mail service with the following information.
pop.ufl.edu
smtp.ufl.edu

Use this to help you setup your account.

Hmm in that case, you may browse around on your schools website and look for directions on how to setup pop3 e-mail programs with your schools e-mail service.

There are a lot of online resources for you to look into, maybe start with http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/default.mspx -- take a look at sites like http://www.handango.com to get an idea of the software available. Sounds like you're used to homework, you have some more now

Wow guys, thanks. The e-mail is working perfectly. I wish it had the ability of setting up 2 outgoing servers within the same account so that you could just choose what account you'd like to send from, like Outlook on the computer. But having 2 separate accounts isn't too bad.
Thanks again guys.

Voice Recorder
I see a Voice Notes program on the Dash, which will record both sides of a conversation for 60 seconds during a phone call.
However, when you try the Voice Recorder application located in the Accessories folder, it doesn't allow you to record during a phone call. The record option is simply unresponsive. But, as soon as the call ends (even when you are still in the app), you're allowed to record.
My question -- if someone knowledgable about these things would be so gracious enough to answer -- is this: Could there be a registry entry that allows you to record during conversations?
Just poking around I found a binary for: HKLM/SOFTWARE/HTC/Recorder
I have no idea what it's for. Maybe this can't be done? Thanks in advance.
(p.s. I know there are legal implications about this in certain states, etc. with notifying the other party. But sometimes when you're on the phone in a place you can't take notes and you're receiving directions, important info, phone numbers, etc. it would be so nice to simply say "hold on a sec, i wan't to record this.")

Voice Notes as the name implies is for taking voice notes, not for recording a conversation.
Vocal data going through the modem is not handled by this application.

That would actually be a good idea. Having directions recorded would be a major life saver. I'm sure someone will be able to tweak around it.

Just use this instead: http://1800message.com/SPWM5CallRec.cab

Mass deleting pictures

Hey guys,
Just wondering, is there an easy way to delete pictures off the phone? This is a REALLY stupid question, so sorry for using up a thread for it, lol.
I've got a ton of pics taken with my cam, but as far as I know, I have to tap+hold then select delete, then confirm yes I want to, but I have to do this with one picture at a time, and it's taking FOREVER! lol
Any help appreciated!

I'm still clueless as I have yet to actually have experience with a WP7 device, but wouldn't it be easier if you used the computer to pick what pictures you want to delete en mass?

asked them via twitter and they said that you have to delete them one by one or by album, also the same for deleting multiple sms messages. sucks

To delete all the pics you took with the phone's camera, go into the Pictures hub, select ALL, hold on the Camera Roll icon, select CLEAR.
Glad to be of service.

Wow, that sucks pretty bad....
So having a couple hundred pics, I have to delete ALL of them in the album, or just delete a few one by one.

Wait a minute......you've taken 200 pics, and now you want the phone to be able to magically work out which ones you want deleted and which ones you want to keep?

You do realize, right, that your phone can sync your camera roll pics to your PC via the Zune wireless link, and that you can set that up to remove them from the phone once they have been synced? Then you can "mass delete" the ones you don't want using your PC, and just drag the folder onto the phone icon in Zune and it'll re-sync the remaining photos back to your phone.
It's not that big of a deal.

So basically you can't easily select let's say 76 pictures from 600 you have on the device and delete them?
You can just do ALL or ONE BY ONE?

You can delete an entire folder, or you can delete individual pictures. If you want to remove pictures en-masse, there is an easy way.
The way I do it is that I have my phone set up to sync any pics I take to my PC and delete them from the phone. This happens wirelessly and automatically, I don't have to do anything.
Whenever I feel like it, I look at the "From Jim's HD7" folder it creates in my pictures library on my PC. I remove the ones I don't want and move the rest into proper folders within my directory structure on the PC.
The PC then syncs these folders back to the phone - again automatically and wirelessly.
So the answer to your question is: Yes you can remove photos en-masse - it is done on the PC, quickly and easily. Generally the sync bit happens overnight while the phone is charging, and the housekeeping of the pics I do maybe once a week.
It is a much better way of doing things. Zune's wireless sync is a godsend, it means the pics I take with my phone automatically get put onto my PC where they get backed up every night, so I need never lose any of my pics.
In the bad old days of WM6.5 I had to remember to physically connect my phone to my PC using USB, and transfer the files over myself. Which was Poo.

Thanks. Well, automatic sync is not for me, I use laptop mainly for work and don't want it to do any automatic stuff behind me.
I also don't use any home router. I use mobile cellular modem.
Anyway my question was regarding operations ON PHONE directly, assuming it's a smartphone, not computer, right?
But apparently WP7 in current state is just like an invalid. No go without a PC.
The described by yourself Zune sync is nice though, but by the wireless sync you mean WiFi?
Not possible via Bluetooth?

Why on Earth would you want to sync using bluetooth? Wifi has a greater range and speed. I can have my phone charging in my bedroom overnight and syncing to my PC in the study. Bluetooth doesn't have the range to do that. It's no good between rooms in a big house.

@Jim Coleman: there is no need to be like that. he has different needs. WM6.5 was around for so long that it could pretty much cater for everyone back in the early 2000s, but with the revamp, they've started over, so it doesn't do it now. maybe in the future? who knows?

Is there any way to protect sms on windows phone 7?

As the question above, is there any way to protect our sms, such as set a password?

Nope... not at the moment.
Best you can do right now is set a password at the lock-screen.

So we have to wait for a software like Handcent SMS in Android

Obviously, as stated, you can set a password for the phone.
Are trying to allow others to access to your everything on your phone except your sms?

I don't think so. Only way i know of is clicking messages in the main menu.

Yes, click messages, not friends to send a message. Or use touch.facebook.com in the browser.

It's so easy to use and a great app. I highly recommend it. Works flawlessly. I take a lot of pictures with my phone at work and need to use them in presentations created on my laptop. Sometimes I can't get to my laptop for a while but with Pushbullet I can just use the share function in the gallery and I'll know my pictures will be waiting for me on my laptop when I return to it. It can do so much more than that too.

Well it's not a device specific question and it's not our problem that you don't visit other threads.
But anyways: Whatsapp is probably the most used app.
