A few hopefully final questions

[Guest Subliminal Aura]

OK I've been using the WM6 for a month now and it looks like the following issues are the ones that are bugging me...

Any help would be warmly welcome.

[1] Wireless activesync - I used to be able to activesync over wireless this doesn't seem to work with WM6

[2] Easy switching on and off of Inbox mail checking (without going to options-accounts-setup etc etc etc)

[3] Htc album/video/camera shortcuts needed with their commandline parameters.

[4] Best browser ? I have settled with Opera Mobile - I've tried Netfront, Operamini, PIE, minimo

Cheers

SA

Correct - wireless activesync with pc clients was disabled in AS 4 and WM5 onwards. It is possible with some very convoluted mucking about with network and IP settings etc.

[2] Easy switching on and off of Inbox mail checking (without going to options-accounts-setup etc etc etc)

There isnt an easy way to disable just mail polling, but there are one click apps that turn off data - so probably a good work around for you?

[3] Htc album/video/camera shortcuts needed with their commandline parameters.

Have you tried using resco file explorer and had a look at the shortcuts the apps install?

[4] Best browser ? I have settled with Opera Mobile - I've tried Netfront, Operamini, PIE, minimo

Opera Mobile's my preferred one.

1)Wireless Activesync was dropped with the release of AS 4.0 as it was seen as a potential security risk. Apparently MS are considering reactivating it in 'a future release' due to the number of complaints it has generated.

2) Can you use Activesync/Schedule and switch to 'Manual' when you don't want a scheduled checking? When this is selected, open the Inbox and tap Menu/Send Receive to do a sync.

That only works for exchange server accounts though (albeit its great just opening com mgr and turning off directpush) - but I guess the OP's issue is with polling his pop accounts.

Yup I'm checking my IMAP accounts and so turning 'data connection' off is pointless as POE will re-establish the connection as per the allotted check duration.

Do you think I should try a differnt mail client ?

And thankyou gentlemen for answering my questions.

You've completely lost me there !

EDIT OK jimbos response makes sense now.

I guess I could hack a quick script to enable/disable checking of the mail account.

Finally ;) @ microsoft for disabling Activesync overwifi - It used to be so fast too !

I really reconmend Netfront v3.3 as a browser. ITs got more functions than PIE or opera. and the option to go jump back and forward a page using the d-pad is an option neither opera or PIE have and the fack you can sellect links using the D-pad also is very usefull. untill opera manages to do that I'm sticking with Netfront. maybe the long awaited opera 9 due out soon will make me switch back to opera

Oh and minomo was Dire, the worst browser ive ever tried

Thanks dolbe think I have already tried all the major browsers with opera mobile and netfront coming up top for myself too.

Guess this leaves a good mail client to search for

[Guest Transform]

i believe it costs though to use Netfront?

[Guest jimbouk]

There are data fucntion disabling apps. I think Paul posted one. They are the best way to stop your device polling mail servers over night.

In Opera Mobile, you can press 8 to cycle to next window. (Also see http://www.winmobiletech.com/072007SPWebBrowsers/chart.html , linked form my Smartphone Web Browsing Bible at http://www.modaco.com/content/Smartphone-G...ra-Mini-4-beta/ )

If you don't have a hardware dialpad / thumbboard, you can easily assign sending "8" (or, if you edit input.ini, any other alphanumeric) character / numeral to Opera Mobile. See my Button Bible ( http://www.modaco.com/content/forum/260601...ile-Mini-users/ ) for more info on this. It's really easy.

My preferred (95% of the time) Web browser is Opera Mini with, when absolutely necessary, switching to IEM / Opera Mobile (5% of the time).

See http://www.modaco.com/content/forum/261614...-give-a-try-to/ for a full comparison of OM to other browsers.
