Guest dnb81 Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 First post for me so here we go... After my first month of windows mobile here's a few questions... 1) is it possible to get the clock and calendar to display in 24hours... mine seems to only display in 12 hour format and I can't find a way to change it. 2) how do I install the .net compact framework 2.0 from a mac? I want to use Hubdog to download podcasts and I can't without installing the update which can't be installed from a mac. I have no access to a PC. 3) Is anyone else finding battery life a problem... if I have push on and use the web or phone for any length of time the battery barely lasts a full day... I'm wondering if I should try and get t-mobile to send a replacement battery. 4) using the built in mail app with mail2web personal exchange, I can't access any other folders other than the inbox, any suggestions Your wisdom will be greatly appreciated!

Guest danktuft Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 The battery on this phone is a dog, I've had two now and although the second one is slightly better it's still impossible to go a whole day without a top up. OK, I've stopped buying a paper because the web surfing is so good and I'm constantly checking email and sending texts but I still expected better battery life. As for the other stuff I can't help apart from suggesting the Missing Sync? Is your iMac an Intel one? If it is you could use Boot Camp and boot into XP.

Guest nrj1999 Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 To get 24-hour clock, go to Start/Settings/System/Regional Settings and on the Time tab, change the time style from H:mm:ss to HH:mm:ss. I don't know how anyone is meant to find this but it would have been much easier to have a drop-down menu with 12-hour or 24-hour as options if anyone from MS Mobile development reads this forum. As for getting your device working with a mac, I would be inclined to try Missing Sync from markspace.com but I have never used it. I also have very poor battery life on my Vario II and it is definitely a feature of these incredible devices but I accept it as a necessary evil to have to constantly recharge the thing. Good luck with the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dnb81 Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Thanks for all the input so far... not quite sorted yet so... 1) Unfortunately I don't have an intel mac so no access to XP... no hubdog for me for the time being anyway 2) I've changed the time setting to HH:MM:SS and now instead of 5.02pm I get 05.02pm still no 24 hour clock. All very peculiar if you ask me. Any other ideas as to how to get a 24 hour clock? Any advice as always much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
