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

It says MDA but all of the apps on the page are for Smartphone Edition. Trust me it's a favorite on my dash.

thats weird, cuz when i tried downloading them, none of those programs would work? do i have to do something first?

Data connection question

I have the Telus Touch Pro 2 and have noticed for quite some time now it has been randomly connecting and I haven't been able to track down what program is doing it. I have disabled the push internet and even installed the NoPushInternet_v2.cab but it is still doing it.
Is this happening to anyone else?
Is there a program that can track what programs call up the Data connection or maybe the aGPS?
Thanks for any info you guys may have.

If you have it enabled, both the weather tab and the Facebook integration will use up data.
Also, if you set up an exchange account, use activesync, Windows Live account, or QuickGPS.
Google Maps can also run in the background to transmit your location data if you have it enabled for Latitude.

Make sure you used tools like memmaid or other similar tools. It will show u what services is running even though you thought those programs that you closed, actually they are not closed.
I have mine behaving the same problem like u discribed, checked the microsoft live service still run causing the problem. I used memaid to stop it from lauching. and now it fixed.

hi there
maybe this will help OP as well, is there a tweak that will allow the Data connection to ask permission before connecting?
thanks in advance
C

That was one of the things that really bugged me when I first got my TP2. I didn't always need data, and it annoyed me because of the batt instead of data charges. Try a program called No Data. I think the actual cab file is called nodatahtcdriver. You'd have to do a search to find it because I can't remember where I found it. It allows you to toggle your internet, data and MMS.

Google Voice Questions

Every rom I use this happens and I would liek to know if there is a fix.
I get notified with a text even tho I have the setting unchecked in the GV app.
I get a freakin Gmail with every VM. So I essentially get 3 notifications whenever I get a VM. Is there a way to stop this, it is annoying as heck.
Also, I don't like seeing 2 services running all the time for it. Gv used to give me one heck of a wakelock... do you guys generally leave inbox sync on?

Logon to Google Voice online and make the necessary changes. It's a lot easier.
posting & replying via the XDA Premium app.

Thanks, I do see those options there.
I swear that app always running is impacting my battery tho.. could be a mind thing since I had such horrible wakelocks with it in the past.

It can be a battery hog. Although I have it installed, I am logged out of the app itself. I can still receive & reply to GV text messages via my default messaging app. Anyway, I'm glad I was able to help. Take care.

[Q] Send/receive SMS via computer ?

Hey guys,
I have SGS2, and I wonder if there is some application that will show me notification when I receive sms on my computer, and I should be able to reply to it from computer too ? I tried "Remote Notifier for Android" from market, and at first glance it looks really nice, but sms notifications doesnt work, and I cant reply to sms via computer aswell. Is there some other app which can do this ?
NOTE: I dont want web-service based apps, that require me to have service started on my phone and to connect through browser from my computer, I want standalone app that communicates with phone through wireless, just like Remote Notifier.

try MightyText.
not sure if it is out of beta yet but it does works. you just need to log in to your gmail account.

DeskSMS

Confirming LuffyPSP.
MightyText works!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

cool. glad it working out for ya.

Both of this apps require me to stay logged in browser in order to see notification when I receive sms

True. I guess it is because of the fact you can't 'push' that data to a pc. I believe there's an app needed (like the plugin for the MightyText app) to 'convert' that data to make it 'recognizable' (the data between pc and phone).
Notifications can't be pushed. Only the data itself.
So i believe, what you are looking for, doesn't exist (yet).
Can someone confirm?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

i think yes, it does not exist yet. but many people satisfied with how MightyText works if you follow from the first Beta release. i think many people actually find this type is already convenient so far, instead of how you asked. maybe not yet. you can try PM the dev and state your suggestion/opinion maybe.

Remote Notifier for Android does the exact thing I need, except its stopped developing and some features dont work. I searched yesterday alot to find some similar app, but no success.
@LuffyPSP
I already discussed with one of colleagues, and will start developing it in next few days.

I think MyPhoneExplorer might be able to do what you ask. You might wanna give it a try!

Maybe it can, but MPE requries phone to be connected with USB

Which phone locator app?

Which app do you use to locate your phone in case of loosing it?

I use Avast Anti theft features (formerly theft aware), install the app from the market and just uninstall the antivirus if you don't want it after installing the anti theft features.
Here is a review of theft aware.

Cerberus is supposedly good as well but I have yet to try it.

i use Cerberus Clicky
it has some good features.
i keep getting emailed pictures of me getting my lock code wrong

I use SeekDroid as of now. It has everything I was looking for. Got it for free on the Amazon free app of the day. Best part is no monthly fee!

It is, under google latitude. But latitude is more for family and friends to know where each other are, not to locate a lost device.
I've only used Androidlost and only installed it remotely when the phone was lost. I'm surprised so many of you would keep a persistent app which can monitor your every move and record audio and photos of you secretly. And people freaked out about Carrier IQ?

Thanks for advice Its a great app, and now I use it too

I have always used wheres my droid. You can use it to make it ring by sending it a text from any phone saying wheres my droid or you can locate it via gps by texting it gps my droid.

SeekDroid works well for me.

Androidlost looks great feature wise, but I couldn't get it to activate remotely via SMS. I sent the text via Verizon as well as a online SMS tool. Weird...

Yes its both unbelievable and embarrassing, that you have to pay for a Google Apps account to get this.
