« Previous EntriesAnother Phone ?
Saturday, October 6th, 2007I’m seriously thinking about buying another phone, perhaps a Nokia this time. Lately I’ve been using my Windows Mobile 5 phone more and more, and one of the problems that I have with my Qtek 9100 (HTC Wizard) is that I can easely miss calls. When the phone rings and I press the Accept button, [...]
Parallels USB support in beta 3106
Thursday, January 4th, 2007I just booted into Parallels XP bootcamp partition and installed MS Active Sync 4.2. I had a beast of time finding it, with Windows Vista arriving they are phasing out that version and they are rearranging all their links.
Then I plugged my QTek 9100 in, and nothing happened. Hmmm. Oooh… click usb icon in Parallels [...]
How Windows Mobile 5 gets developed
Thursday, September 14th, 2006The Windows Mobile Team Blog is a great resource, I’ve found it very useful on occasion to get a glimpse into the developers mind.
In his “I’m just a feature” article, Mike Calligero explains what it takes for a feature request to get into a new Windows Mobile 5 build.
[If you are interested in knowing more [...]
Qtips update : TodayTime & Eten Dialer
Monday, August 21st, 2006Updated my Qtips page with some new links to the TodayTime plugin, which reduces the time and date to one line instead of two lines.
I’ve also just installed the Eten Dialer (using the O2 skin which has both portrait and landscape mode and works wirth SmartDial), which features bigger buttons, this is a nice improvement. [...]
Wheeee ! PDAMobiz.com
Monday, August 7th, 2006Funny thing, that. You have a blog that you’re absolutely, positively certain you’re only writing for yourself and your own progeny (even if it is doubtfull my children - once they can read - are interested in what their dad did and wrote all those long years ago) and suddenly while looking through those [...]
Qtek tips : Qtips!
Saturday, August 5th, 2006I’ve just created a separate page to hold and collect all the tips and tweaks for my Qtek 9100 (aka HTC Wizard) running Windows Mobile 5 AKU 2.0.
You can find it in the right hand panel, it’s named Qtips.
This will be easier to manage than my hodge-podge WM5 and hx2410 related entries.
Qtek 9100
Sunday, July 30th, 2006I am the proud owner of a Qtek 9100 pda-phone now !
It’s a pda with phone capabilities that has Windows Mobile 5 phone edition, AKU2, so the latest version and is a quad-band phone that can do GSM, GPRS and EDGE.
At first I wanted to buy the new Tytn from HTC (also the makers of [...]
How to reset a WM5 HP iPaq device.
Tuesday, June 13th, 2006You hope you never have to use it, but it’s damn convenient to have noted the html page when you do need it.
That secondary problem of the empty programs list is a real hard one. There are several people who have had similar problems, but there doesn’t appear to be a solution for it.
Hard Reset, [...]
Crrrrrrash zzzt! SD Card loses Program Files directory
Monday, June 12th, 2006Miljaar de miljaar !
I just lost all the programs that I installed under /SD Card/Program Files, just like that. Although I regularly back up my built-in flash, I only back up my SD Card every 2 or 3 months or so. It takes too long using Active Sync, so I back up whenever I use [...]
Windows Mobile 5 File Cleanup or Move to SD Card
Tuesday, June 6th, 2006While most or almost all the files in the Windows directory on your PDA are in ROM, and thus not deletable, lots of applications *do* put stuff in there, going from .dll files to .log files. I found this out while looking through the files on my PDA that are stored in Windows directory.
Some of [...]
iPaq HX2415 WM5 ROM Update available
Tuesday, May 23rd, 2006The iPaq hx2000 series ROM upgrade for Windows Mobile 5 is available.
The update itself does not clean out and reformat all your data, I’m glad to say - ofcourse, YMMV
I do seem to have less SD card disappearances and less hangups. It’s not any faster, if that’s what you are wondering. For [...]
Active Sync Woes : use a Bluetooth connection !
Thursday, May 18th, 2006I’ve had it with the irregular, unresponsive, plug-and-pray manner that Active Sync and Microsoft in general work with USB connections to PocketPC’s. Either it’s Active Sync not syncing or ‘Unknown USB device’ for my cable, it’s just gone on too long.
And I’m not the only one - I’ve read several comments over the last few [...]
