Snippets of bits & bytes

Agenda One is a great addition to any Windows Phone

Agenda One is one of the first applications I install to my Windows phones.

I like its quickness, its simplified user interface, and its ease of use.

I've used Agenda One on WM 5.0 & WM6.x professional and standard phones. It is especially useful on my “candy bar” phones like the HP Ipaq hw6925, the HP Ipaq 910c Business Messenger, the HP Ipaq Voice Messenger, and the HP Ipaq Glisten, because the software is optimized to work “one handed” with the phones' keypads.

Take Agenda One out for a trial run and see for yourself how well the application works on a Windows Phone.

 

Tracking my movements on my HP Ipaq Voice Messenger, GPS, and Trackr

Use Trackr to document your travels, runs, bicycle rides, motorcycle rides, etc. Trackr uses the GPS radio in your windows mobile device to track you. If you want your friends to track you in (practically) real time mode, you can use your phone's data connection to capture your movements and place them on a private, personal web page.

I use Trackr on my windows mobile professional and standard phones. (these screenshots are taken from the IPAQ Voice Messenger , which runs WM6.1 standard).

Get Trackr here: http://www.trackr.eu/

Google maps with GPS enabled on the HP Ipaq Voice Messenger

Open up Google on the Voice Messenger. Select Menu > Options and choose GPS Settings. Place a checkmark in the box next to "Manage by Windows (see third & first screenshots)

Then select Menu > Use GPS

Place the Voice Messenger in a window with a clear view of the sky and after a few minutes, the phone will start fixing on GPS satellites. Once it finds your location, you'll notice the blue circle on your location on the map (see second & fourth screenshots).

My Mobiler is a "must have" application for every windows mobile device

I love My Mobiler and use it with all my windows mobile devices.  My Mobiler is software that you install to and run from a computer.  The software works in conjunction with an ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center connection and allows you to view a Windows Mobile device screen on the computer screen and you can use the computer’s mouse and keyboard to navigate through the Windows Mobile device’s screens and to input data into it.

My Mobiler also allows you to create screenshots of the windows mobile device (an option I use frequently when I write articles for my blogs).

To use My Mobiler: 

  •  Download and install My Mobiler to your computer  
  • Connect your windows mobile device to your computer and get ActiveSync or WMDC running on the computer.
  • My Mobiler will open up and install a client to your windows mobile device (check the windows mobile screen for any messages)

You'll see a small icon in your computer's tray.  Right click on the My Mobiler icon and select "Open Mobiler" to view the screen of your windows mobile screen on your computer (at this stage you can navigate the menus, open up applications, input data into the windows mobile device using your computer's keyboard and mouse).

To take screenshots of a mobile device, you can:

  • Select the icon on the top of the My Mobiler window (see the 6th icon from the left on the 1st screenshot); or
  • Press Ctrl+F to save a screenshot to a file; or
  • Select Edit > Save Screen to File
