How much free Storage Memory do you have?

My readings show;

Storage
Total: 84.94 MB
In Use: 74.41 MB
Free: 10.53 MB



Ive tried the power settings in Advanced Configuration Tool v3 but still it looks like my wireless is turning off when the phone is in standby.

Any other suggestions on this?

Thanks

Everything I have installed has been to the 4GB 'Internal Storage', is there anything else I can move or remove from the phones storage?



I have this already installed but some how missed those Wi-Fi options. I have disabled 'Turn off Wi-Fi if no activity' but 'Wi-Fi auto off timeout' doesnt have a disable option, so I will use 10 mins and see how it goes.



I will look into flashing the radio, are the improvements significant?

Many thanks for your replies so far.

I finally got my hands on a Compact IV from T-Mobile over the weekend and so far am fairly happy with the device;

ROM Version: 1.37.110.3 WWE
ROM Date: 06/20/08
Radio Version: 1.00.25.03
Protocol Version: 52.26a.25.09U

I have a few questions though that I don't seem to be able get answers for and would like your help.

1) Low Memory.

After installation of a only a couple of applications to the storage card, I have started receiving low memory messages. After a quick dig around I have moved the Opera cache and reinstalled google maps to the storage card but that still only leaves me 11MB out of a possible 85MB.

2) Power Settings.

Does this device turn off the Wi-Fi when it goes into standby? If so how can I prevent it from doing this? What happens is, when I wake my phone from standby, I see the the data connection icon (either H, 3G or G) and then after a couple of seconds the Wi-Fi icon reappears.

Whilst I obviously am grateful of the power saving it is causing havoc with Windows Live Messenger and other internet applications. This was never a problem with my S710, whenever I wondered out of the house the Wi-Fi would get disconnected and the data connection would pick up, WLM would re-sync and away I went.

3) Radio Version.

I have the stock T-Mobile ROM on my Compact IV. Is this the best radio version? If not then would it be advisable to flash the radio to a newer version? Would this improve signal strength?

Suggestions and advice is all greatly appreciated.

Just like to say that your unboxing video was fantastic Paul.

Very informative but not too long, keep up the great work.

Thanks

Does anyone know if you can insert a picture into a email signature on a Windows Mobile device?

Maybe even use your own HTML or the complete signature?

Thanks

The G along the top of the screen (usually around the middle) indicates when you have GPRS signal.

The G above the signal strenght meter indicates you are connected to GPRS.

NOTE: When you are connected to GPRS you are not nessecarily sending and receiving data, the nature of GPRS means that it only sends packets when it needs it.

Thanks

A hardware reset, if that doesnt resolve it then I would send it back under warranty.

Its a crying shame about these rubber flaps, the phone it my perfect windows mobile device but it seems removal is the only option for the flap.

Thanks

Thats looking like my only option, still very annoying. I was considering heating the rubber flap to see if it goes back to its original shape.

Any thoughts?

Don't get me wrong, I love my Vodafone v1415 (aka E650 & S710) but the rubber flap which covers the charging socket is begining to drive me crazy.

I press it in, it stays for 15 seconds, then pops out. I press it in, its stays in for 15 seconds, then it pops out. Guess what happens next?

Is anyone else having this issue?

Short of pulling it off, which I would prefere not to do has anyone else managed to figure a solution?

Thanks

I have the Vodafone variant (v1415) and my keyboard is nice and tight and has been for over 6 months. The spring action works well still and when in the closed position it hardly moves at all. It does a tiny bit of play in it but not enough to affect typing on the front keypad or cause concern.

Thanks

The Proporta GPS device uses the SiRF Star III chipset which in my experience is one of the best GPS chipsets. It has a fast cold boot time and good GPS lock once booted.

I too have a v1415 and am looking at purchasing this GPS device.

Software wise, Tom Tom is very good and works well on Windows Mobile devices but isn't easily migrated to another device should you for instance change to a pocket PC at the end of your contract.

Both Google maps and Windows live search have the ability to use a GPS aerial and are both free.

Thanks

Unfortunately not but I am still looking, would make my life a whole lot easier.

Does anyone know of a blogging client for smartphone that will work with blogger.com?

The problem is, rather than the usual xml-rpc API, blogger.co uses the google equivalent API; gdata.

Any help wpuld be much appreciated.

Thanks
.

Its a pleasure.

Thanks

Have a look at this topic:

http://www.modaco.com/content/forum/254164/http-www-modaco-com-index-php-showtopic-254164/

The registry key you need is:

HKLM-->Comm-->ConnMgr-->Planner-->Settings-->SuspendResume

and add a ~GPRS! value.

I have attached the exported registry key so you can import it with a decent registry editor. You will need to extract it first.

Thanks

Thats excellent thanks, will give it a go when I've got 10 mins.

Regards

Many thanks I will check it out.

Are any of your guys browsing the internet on your phones? If so then your temporary internet files will not be helping.

They are saved in Windows\Profiles\Guest\, there are three folders, Temp Internet Files, History and Cookie. Check the properties and see how much is in there, if there is a few MB's then I would suggesting installing Paul's CardCache, you can find it here:

http://www.modaco.com/content/forum/231188/http-www-modaco-com-index-php-showtopic-231188/

It will tell Pocket IE to save the files on your memory card instead of on the system memory.

Make sure you follow the instructions and clear the Pocket IE files before installing.

Thanks

I go away in a few weeks and have two 2GB microSD cards for my v1415 (aka S710, E650)

I want to fill them with music (which is not a problem) and movies.

Can anyone recommend a decent DVD to smartphone utility for 'backing up' my DVD's to my phone. Don't mind paying for it either.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I can edit the registry on my device without issue. I would however like the standard windows mobile pictures.

Changing the theme of my Vodafone v1415 (aka Vox) has almost, apart from a few items removed all the Vodafone branding, however I wondered if anyone would be able to point me in the right direction to remove the following items:

Start Menu Background - Currently a vodafone grey colour
Number Entry - When typing the number get the above grey background and a small Vodafone in the top right
Startup / Shutdown - Big red Vodafone logos

I would preferably like the Windows Mobile defaults for these items.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I've been using the Fring client now for 3 or 4 days on my Vodafone v1415 (aka Vox) and without a shadow of doubt, on my phone, the Fring client is far better quality during a 'skype' call than Skype's own client is.

To be honest the quality with Skype from my smartphone over wifi has never been that great, its always been good from my M3100.

So I'm interested in hearing everyone elses experiences with these two clients?

Thanks

Great guide Menneisyys.

One small pointer, my Vodafone v1415 (aka Vox / S710) 'smartphone' came with HTC streaming media and works out of box with You Tubes new site.

Thanks

Has anyone discovered a blog client for smartphone that will work with blogger.com?

I've tried a few but they all use the xmlrpc API, it seems blogger does not.

I did find one but couldnt register because it seemed the website was down? Its called Picoblogger from www.picostation.com or http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Blog/Pic...one-14369.shtml

Thanks

What message do you get when trying to install the cab? After its installed you have to reboot your device then reconnect to your computer.
