PPC Newbie with Questions
Hi there,
I�m the happy new owner of a Telus HTC Mogul (6800) and am currently trying to move my digital house over from a treo 650. I�ve been a palm os user for years, and so am a little stuck in my ways and am looking for help on a few things with this new device.
1. Wifi: I have a AP with WEP enabled at home. I have switched on wifi and my device can see the AP (marked as �available�). When I hit connect I am prompted to enter the key, and then hit connect. The device says it is connecting and then goes right back to �available� and does not connect. I have not been able to connect to any networks yet. Any ideas of what I am doing wrong?
2. Email not displaying: This is a bit weird. I have my gmail account setup with IMAP and it is set to receive all text and no images. With some emails it is delivered just fine, but in some I get only the sender and subject line and nothing else in the body of the message.
3. Headset control: On my treo I had a great little utility to control my media player via the button on hybrid headset so I didn�t have to take the phone out of my pocket to skip tracks or control the volume. Is there anything like this for the pocket PC?
And for extra points� I hate that I have to start WMP and then go back to the today screen to lock the device so I can put it in my pocket without buttons getting pressed accidentally. Any tricks for dealing with this?
4. Close applications freeware: Everyone diss� palm os for not multitasking, but I find it way more annoying to have to go into settings to close apps. Is there a freeware utility to deal with this?
5. Open source PIM that will sync: I�m an open office user and thus don�t have outlook on my machine. Is there an open source PIM that will sync with the pocket pc?
That�s enough for now. Thanks in advance for your help. Seems like a great forum you have here.
