a good "Note" application ?

I don't like the microsoft note application I have. It's very slow (it takes a long time to open, and each time I close a note it takes again a long time).
Does anyone know a good "Notes" application other than the microsoft one ?
Thanks !

Are you talking about the default note app that comes with Windows mobile, or Microsoft's One Note? One Note used in conjunction with the desktop app is hard to beat.

I'm talking about the default note application that comes with Windows Mobile.

Look into Onenote, unless your looking for a cheap/free app. You can get a free trial to see if you like it. Onenote on the phone by itself isn't that valuable without the desktop app. I do a lot of research and I like to compose on the desktop what I might need in the field. Onenote fits my needs perfectly. It might not be a fit for yours though.

Or consider phatpad, phatnotes or Daynotez
OneNote Mobile is too basic for me, although the desktop version looks astonishing.
You may also consider Phatpad, Phatnotes or daynotez. All three are excellent applications, but all with a twist that makes each of them great, depending what your needs are. I've bought daynotez and phatpad. Would've bought phatnotes too, if the integration with phatpad was just slightly better

Vito Audionotes is also fantastic. That's what I use. You can even record phone conversations.

Webis note2self is great. Talk your note and mail it to yourself ;-) Easy as that.

I tried both "phatnotes for outlook" and "phatpad", they are very good but there's a big problem : you can't sync the notes using Outlook.
Even the "phatnotes for Outlook" application needs to first import all of your notes (with tabulation or comma problems ...) before syncing them with Outlook.
In fact I need a "notes" application which would be able to simply use the same notes as the microsoft notes application and sync them with Outlook...
But with no "import" needed (because imports caused me many problems).
Does anybody know one ?
Thanks again for everyone answers ...!

Here's my fav: http://free.hostingjava.it/-frusso/pda/frNotepad
It saves notes in plain txt (.txt) just like Notepad on your pc.

Evernote ?
The app is free (but to a certain storage level a month) and the ink note taking is OK. Text one is sub-OneNote Mobile however. Killer is that it syncs up to "the cloud" so your notes arevailable on web, windows or mac as well as Mobile.
Worth a look. IMHO nothing can touch PhatPad/Notes for function, but in today's world of connectivity, it is poor on being able to sync and share.

Because you didn't say what the long-term use of the application might be, I'd second the vote for PhatNotes. I use it on desktop and PPC and love it. The notes do, in fact, synchronize. However they do it on their own, not within the confines of Outlook. For this "inconvenience" it offers a very robust feature set, with only the one-time trouble of having to do some reformatting.
So, if you can get past that, I think that PhatNotes may be what you want.

Windows Mobile/TyTn II: Synchronisation (notes/files)??

Fairly new to the latest incarnation of WM and am just getting to grips with a TyTn II which I've bought that overall I'm quite impressed with. There are a couple of issues that I'm having with it that probably stem from a lack of familiarity with WM and also from drawing comparison with Palm and Nokia devices which I have used previously as PDAs. Any comments to avoid me wasting hours trying to find out how to achieve the potentially unachievable would thus be much appreciated:
1) Synchronising - files/folders: My previous Palm handled this QUITE well where MS Office type docs were concerned (Documents To Go) and even the Nokia Phones seem to do what I want to achieve better than I can manage with the TyTn just now. Essentially, I want to be able to synchronise the TyTn with a folder on the PC that contains JUST a number of Office type documents which I want to synchronise. Currently, no matter what settings I opt for I cannot do this. I know I can drag and drop from the File Manager part of Windows Mobile Device Centre (Vista PC) but that will not achieve automated synch for changed versions etc. Currently I select Synch Files (which is not selected by default on WMDC) and then move the files I want copied into the device into that folder. OK so far. Yet, when I hit Synch it then seems to insist on copying EVERYTHING on the phone into that folder on the PC too!!!! That makes a snych quite a long process and essentially all I want to synch is the 8-10 Office docs I want. Is this beyond WM? I would have thought this a relatively basic requirement which even Nokia with its Briefcase folder seems to be capable of doing. I have tried deleting all the non-Office files out of the PC file synch folder that WMDC created and then uses but then of course that just result in them being taken off the phone when I Synch!!! I've scoured Help, the Manual and numerous sites trying to find away round this but so far I do not seem to be able to synch files unless I synch everything
2) Notes (Categories v Folders): I use Notes on a PC a lot and because I use so many I tend to have them bundled in categories. Despite what I try though I do not seem to be able to get any semblance of order to them when they come across to the TyTn which just shoves them all in 'My Documents' (this makes it a real pain when using Explorer on the device too as there are 200 or so notes to scroll through when looking). I've tried moving the notes on the TyTn to Folders on the device after they are copied over but that just seems to cause a second copy on the PC to be created with the 'note title/folder' format upon the next synch?? Outlook clearly uses categories in a way that does not seem to be replicated on WM/TyTn and as such it seems you can only achieve a long unorganised list of notes on the target device. Using folders on the device does not then read across well to Outlook.
I am conscious that there are apps out there that might allow better management of the Notes problem (Phat Notes) and there may be better folder/file synch options with software like Documents To Go but I am wondering if I'm missing something with the basics here that mean I should be able to do what I want. It does seem odd that selecting Synch Files should result in such an arbitrary copying of the whole content of the device when on may devices it is there merely to ensure you can create a Briefcase type folder to synch just what YOU want.
I have not yet upgraded to the new WM 6.1 either so not sure if that provides any solutions. I plan to do that shortly (and am assuming that if I do the WM 6.1 I won't ALSO need the ROM upgrade that was put up by HTC before that?). Any help much appreciated

Use GoodSync (Link). It allows Bi-directional sync, allows you to select folders to synchronize and has a host of other features. There is a free and pro verion of goodsync so check it out and decide which one you want.
IMO it can take care of almost all the things that you mentioned ...

Whats wrong with Outlook? It does Notes/Favs/Tasks/Calender/Contacts/E-mail...I mean theres not much it doesn't do besides SMS and Calling from computer. These are really easy to use and customize files to push back and forth when connected to Activesync.

Empgamer: I've got the same issues with WM6,1 as you described. I'm genuinely amazed that Windows Mobile syncing to windows (Vista, so no active sync for us) doesn't work out of the box when managing edited documents on your PC & PPC. The PalmOS, with Documents To Go, always did an excellent job of this. As for the notes, I can't even get Mobile Office OneNote to sync with OneNote on my PC! What's the point of that?
Anyway, I'd be very curious as to how you solved your issues; I'm currently spending countless hours trying to get the functionality on my Windows Mobile device that I took for granted on PalmOS. (BTW, DocsToGo doesn't support syncing on Windows Mobile! Seriously, that's one of the main things DTG had going for it. I'll never understand what developers think when they come out with these products.

3 (UK) MSN/Live Messenger on Kaiser

I am trying to run a 3 (UK) MSN/Live Messenger on my official O2 WM6.1 Kaiser. (The reason for trying is that with 3 (UK) the operator, your MSN messages doesn't count towards your data traffic; also I would like to experiment its battery drain compare to other MSN clients).
If I just log in Planet 3 (UK) (the 3 portal site), it wouldn't let me download its Live messenger client as my phone is not a compatible one. I changed my user agent string to SEW910i and downloaded the .jad file for W910i. I then removed the certificate portions (the last 2 lines) in the .jad file so that it can install on my Kaiser. It works but sometime the display is not quite way, but more importantly, only vibrate alert is possible but setting to Loud or Soft alert would still result in vibration only. I then modified the .jad file again so that instead of referencing the mp3 files from the 3UK website, it point to the local version (which I downloaded and place in the same directory as the .jad and .jar files) as:
AlertToneContact: online.mp3
AlertToneMsg: newmsg.mp3
However, it still doesn't work :-(
Is there anything I have missed?
May be I should have used the N95's version? Has anyone tried that before? Are they different? And what would be the best version?
Thanks!

SMS push on 3 Live Messenger
Also, one of the feature of the 3 (UK) MSN messenger which I Have tried on my other symbian phone is that even if the client is closed (not minimized), it can still be re-activated/re-launched automatically when new MSN messenges arrive (by listening to special SMS messages form the operator (3 UK)), if one didn't choose to sign out form the MSN server.
I notice in the .jad file there is such a line:
MIDlet-Push-1: sms://:3716, ui.Main, *
Is this a Symbian's Java virtual machine feature? Or is it a general java virtual machine feature?

can i have the oridginal file you had?

Any progress on this?
Im trying to get it to work in Australia, but the 3 MSN java app is running but i cant see it at all.

I've tried the same app and found it very flaky
I have another slight problem, can I ask you to check - I can only login to MSN on 3 if I have a 3g connection.
Where we live the 3g connection is flaky and it refuses to login to MSN on GPRS :-(
Skype wise it works fine (they offer free skype-skype too) don't use their java client, look on this site for instructions how to configure the PPC / Wmobile iSkoot Client :0 tested and it's not used any data allowance.

Thanks,
I already have skoot running using my skype call allowance.
My Kaiser already has Live Messenger, but not the unlimited one.
Was trying to get it running as a pet project.

I have just switched to Three UK PAYG and have been searching around a bit. I am running a WM6.1 ROM on a Hermes.
So far I have managed to:
1) Use HTC Connection Wizard (downloaded via CRC's Device Update) to set up the internet and MMS settings.
2) Run the 'Identify as N95 (WM6.1).cab' (thanks to sub69 in this thread. 6.0 and 6.5 versions can also be found there.)
This allows me to access the My3 pages at http://mobile.three.co.uk/hb/HutchKey
3) Install the 3 Live Messenger Java client. I am using the version 4.5, not the latest V5. Credits for modifying this go to therafiman at MoDaCo.
This is working with Esmertec Jbed, and is working for free as it is meant to.
'Windows_Live Messenger.zip' contains the .jad and .jar files, and only seems to work if both are copied to the phone and the .jad file is run.
The Java client is far inferior to the normal Windows Mobile Live client, but the normal client is not free to run. Additionally I have been unable to log on using the normal client over 3g. If I log on while connected to activesync or wifi then I can switch to 3g and keep it running, but this will be charging you.
I haven't looked at skype yet, because no one I regularly call uses it. However I have found these instructions which look promising despite the dodgy numbering system:
1) First you need to download the Iskoot version of Skype from www.iskoot.com. You'll need to enter your name & mobile number and select your phone type.
2) Once downloaded, install ISkoot on your windows mobile
3) Start up Iskoot but don't log in yet.
4) Exit Iskoot
3) Use a registry editor to change the following keys under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ISKOOT\SKYPE\DEVICE to "http://mobile.three.co.uk/948"
BackupHost
CallUrl
DefaultSkHost
Pushhost (only if it exists)
4) Exit the registry editor and start Iskoot again. This time log in (mine logged in immediately - some people say their first log-in takes a few minutes).
5) That's it!. You can verify if things have worked by examining registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ISKOOT\SKYPE\DEVICE\Cal lNumber. If ok, this should have been updated to either "123" on your first log-in, then to a number beginning +44783833...
Once you've made a few skype calls you should see that your credit / call-time balance / data allowance does NOT decrease.

If anyone has any luck getting the V5 Java Live Messenger client running on windows mobile then please post, or even better would be configuring the normal live client to use 3's free service.
EDIT
I'm attaching the WLM V5 .jad and .jar files.
These are unmodified, and downloaded using the N95 user agent in the previous post. Maybe someone knows what they are doing to modify the .jad and get it working.

Is it the Iskoot for Android your after?
if so: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538306
My post has an Alpha/Beta that needs testing for Android.
upon request it was re-instated, there is an official version out there but i didnt get it to work properly, so i grabbed the original Iskoot for Android (non 3 version) and modified it slightly to incorporate the 3 uk settings

JavaAuthorizer
An excellent application if you don’t want to keep saying “Yes, allow NET access”

Apps I cant live without on my Kaiser

I'm gong to share my favorite applications/games for the Kaiser. Some tips may be thrown in as well!
Applications:
Memory Map weather radar
Just what it says, fast loading animated weather radar. With zoom support and location settings.
BTSpammer
This little program will send out vcards, images, or text messages to any device in range. It is VERY useful for walking around the mall to send bogus messages such as: Welcome to our store! Please note that while in our store it is policy to record phone calls, sms messages, and contact lists while you are on our property to help deter theft. If you do not agree with this policy please see a store manager or leave at once. Thank you for your compliance, store management.
WiFiFofum
Best damn ppc wardriving tool out there! Honestly, the only way my laptop could beat this app is to have a external GPS unit. I keep it on while I'm in the car to find exciting locations around the city. I recommend exporting to memory card in a folder than merging files as you go along. upload the results to a wardriving map so others can benefit on your findings.
Tilt keyboard fix
Does what it says. Fixes hardware keyboard assignments for custom roms. No more will I have to guess where ! is at
Resco Keyboard
I love this keyboard! I can use it with my fingers if need be. My only gripe is that the . @ and other common punctuation marks are in the number page. It drives me crazy to switch between numbers and letters so I installed a new skin in the included skin downloader.
Resco File Explorer
This comes in major use on a day to day basis for me. It can browse network shares, do FTP, and modify my registry. Not only does it have a touch friendly interface option, I find it much more useful than touch commander for most tasks. Built in search is fast and you can populate the window with results for mass selecting and modifying.
Sprite Backup
I use this backup program (from the makers of norton ghost) between ROM upgrades. It is so good that if you don't configure your restore properly you run the risk of reverting changes made in that new rom release to the one you upgraded from. Nothing outside ROM is safe from this monster, I have had no issues with multiple backups and restores
Safemode
There is a program for ppc called safemode. What is does it lets you go into a limited shell (accessible from splash screen) to remove applications, browse folders, modify the registry, and some more. Why run the risk of having to hard reset when you can just remove that today plugin that's making it fail I hate having to reinstall everything over again, now you don't have to.
Magi Call 2
I use this program a lot more than I will ever know since it runs in the background with a nice GUI for configuring it. Don't want someone calling you? Block em! Want to create custom rules for sms and phone numbers? MagiCall it! I found out about this little program when a ex girlfriend would not leave me alone. Now I have all sorts of telemarketers and spam blocked. Owning a Kaiser for any reason would be the addition of this program! Every phone should have it! (might want to try callfirewall. free and it is also a nice program fro here at XDA!).
Opera Mini
Sure Opera mobile and skyfire is great for media rich web surfing but I hate waiting for pages to load. If I need flash, I'll start up my Nokia N810 or netbook. Very very unbelievably fast while still retaining my loved feature of double click zooming. Comes with a option to sync with your desktop version of Opera. Have not tried that out yet.
nueGPSSecurity
I don't know how many times I have lost my phone in my house and this free program has saved me! I just send a sms to my phone via e-mail and the alarm will go off giving me a beacon to save the Kaiser. It's also good for remote tracking if your phone gets stolen and other features but I have not tried these yet since my phone has not been stolen.
S2U2 (slide to unlock 2)
I don't use the unlock function very much like other people do (you know, to check the time, I wear a solar powered atomic watch), instead I love the slide to answer function. I no longer fear answering my phone my accident because it is in my holster or pocket. Something that looks cool and is functional.
Newsflash RSS reader
Siimply the best RSS and podcast reader on the planet for my uses. Sure, the included RSS reader is fine and all but I listen to a lot of RSS based podcasts. This will also work for video podcasts. How it works is it saves the mp3s and mp4s (or any other supported format) to a folder you setup in the settings and let it rip! I run it in the background at startup and use manila's media page to listen/watch my feeds. This functionality should of been made in the phone.
To manage all of these applications I simply turn on "view hidden files and folders" and go to my device on my PC, then in the "windows/start menu/programs" folder I categorize all my apps into folders. This way, when I go into programs, i don't have to search forever to find a program. TIP! Make a favorite in windows explorer of the start menu folder. Having to go into windows then your start menu folder takes forever for the file list in /windows to load. You will have one click access to where you want to go.
I may of missed some but check out my application install list!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470519
It does not go slow with so many apps as others believe. After all, what is installed doesn't slow anything down, it's what's running that does.

Thanks, I will take a look at your list and try a few what's new for me.

I guess you mean "Navizon" not WiFiFoFum or not?

I agree with a couple of those.
I've found that I'm increasingly dependant on Kinoma for news and music. If you haven't tried it out, look it up on Google. They have a free version which allows you to listen to shoutcast, youtube videos, news broadcasts and such, The $30 version allows you to listen to 1,000s of live broadcast radio stations and watch live tv streams and more. Most stations on shoutcast stream at 96-128kbps and they connect and stream very well over 3G / HSDPA
Also, WMWiFiRouter is essential for me so I can share my connection with my laptop, other PDAs, and other people that are around me.
I use Barcorama when I'm shopping sometimes to look up the best prices, pretty quick usually.
GRemote lets me control my laptop when I hook it up to my big screen in my bedroom without having to have a gigantic wireless keyboard.
Google maps and Live Search are also essential, each having their distinct advantages (Street View and routes in Gmaps and speech recognition and gas prices in Live Search) Both use GPS very quickly.
QuickGPS updater. Simple. Get it.
MyMobiler... omg.. that app is such a lifesaver. I have a lot of devices and the last thing I need to do is have my phone in the middle of my desktop. I can plug it into the USB port and put it behind my laptop and forget about the actual device. Paired with my BT headset, I can do everything without losing the multitasking I so love.
RSS Hub is a great one too. My wife loves it too because I'm spending as much time on blogs at home anymore.
SKYFIRE and OPERA 9.5 Best mobile browsers out there. I have used Opera Mini, but I found it to be a bit quirky and I don't really have an issue with speed since my network in this area is typically about 1MB down and 500k up.
TOMTOM7 ... 'nuff said. Best nav out there. Now with speed notifications and HOV lanes
Remote Desktop. Great tool for when I'm not at my PC to do simple tasks, also good for managing my TED install so I can make sure I get all my tv shows
Ah, and Fring. Which leads me to ask, is there a plugin for fring, or an app for winmo that does facebook chat?

great apps
i already had some of them. I tried resco keyboard and im practically hooked now.
^^^Gremote is pretty amazing too!

imho newest spb keyboard (4.1.0) is waaaaaaaaaay better than resco's.
don't want to hijack thread, but I also luv: coreplayer, s2v, nebopad and total commander
most of them are quite well known and nebopad is the BEST notepad app on ppc.
thank You for Your attention. goodbye..

Surely not better than Phatnotes?

Resco Explorer 2008
Total Commander (Always useful for copying over ROM files)
Resco Registry Editor
CorePlayer (i.m.o best video player)
PocketPlayer (i.m.o best audio player also shoutcast)
WVD (Handy for downloading the video as streaming can sometimes be a nightmare)
Opera Mini as only slow network speed
Opera v9.5
Skyfire
SU2U
SKTools (Handy for sorting out startup items and cleaning)
Mundu IM
Calendar Touch (Transfer from smartphone so wanted to keep same software)
Mobiion MagiCall
pTravelAlarm (Wouldn't get up in the morning without it)
SmartGear MAME
nodata (Piece of mind over data charges)
MochaVNC (Keeps me in contact with home when out and about)
WiFiFoFum (Keeps data charges down )
MyMobiler (Very handy for screenshots)
Spb Backup (All i can say is where would i be without it)
PIM Backup
SecilWeather (Like more info than M2D gives me)

Could someone explain to me what it is that WiFiFoFum does (other than have a great name)? When I turn on Wifi, my phone automatically scans for Wifi networks as it is, so what is the difference with WiFiFoFum?

WiFiFoFum(agreed, a great name) always you to scan all Wireless Access Points broadcasted, including certain vitals as to their SSID's, WEP enabled or not, and other techie goodies. Plus, you can enable GPS and create an actual map of WiFi Hotspots for you and your friends. It also has a radar feature that shows WAPs in reference to you (I think it's just more for fun than practicality).
Also, I have never been able to get Barcorama to work on my phone. I have it installed with the netcf, but when i load the program and press the camera button, the whole thing craps out. even when i take a picture seperately and try to open it with barcorama it craps out. very frustrating cause it looks like it would be fun.

Sounds interesting - I'll give it a try. Thanks

I have it installed with the netcf, but when i load the program and press the camera button, the whole thing craps out. even when i take a picture seperately and try to open it with barcorama it craps out. very frustrating cause it looks like it would be fun.

Go to the settings for barcorama and check Live Scanning and Use Autofocus. Eliminates opening the camera and the whole clicking the shutter - i.e. inducing shaking. Just hold it over the barcode and it automatically detects it. Sweet program.

Does anyone have a working version of QuickGPS I can grab please? I tried the one in the Polaris thread but that wont install on my Kaiser...
Thanks

Check to see what you have your image size set to. It doesn't work in 3MP mode. I just installed it due to this thread and it's pretty awesome.

Problem with PWI files

Hi, Maybe someone can help, I have searched through google, microsoft forums and here - no luck so far :-(
I got Vista Hope Premium, Office 2007 (home and sudent) and X1 ;-), unfortunately Outlook was not supplied with X1 so....
how the hell can I open notes from my phone (*.pwi) on my laptop and desktop?
I am afraid this is lost case :-( seems to me ti was mistake to by WM device instead of Android :-(
HELP! and thanks

http://www.pocketpcaddict.com/forum...t-read-pocket-pc-word-document-my-laptop.html
found googling for "pwi open on pc office 2007

Seen it already but it has nothing to do with my problem :-(
Vista does not have ActiveSync anymore.
I do not have problem with Word files.
So link you gave me is irrelevant :-(
I have seen almost all there is in the net about pwi files - if no one here knows than simply it is not possible to achieve :-(.
At the moment it is not possible to read *.pwi files in Vista unless one has full Ms Outlook (not supplied with X1) and it is possible to open them in Outlook only not in Windows :-( seems to me that because of that a lot of users is "suffering".

BTW, when I bought my previous HP PDA's there was a copy of Outlook included in the box, I supposed this was included with the Win Mo license but obviously I was wrong.....is some other PDA manufacturer still providing it ?

What do you need, a copy of outlook for PC? or for WinMo?

For PC, to replace Windows Mail, that doesn't support notes, contacts and calendar sync from WinMo devices.
I've just sold my old iPaq on ebay, I should have kept the Outlook installation CD with me !

I do not want Outlook I have spend money (quite a lot) on X1, I bought (earlier) Office 2007 without Outlook as I do not need such a big application just for calendar/contacts and mail (way to confusing). Now, Nots that I love in my X1 are not really usable if I can not open them on my PC, edit, send to someone who just want to click and have them opened.
Is there anything out there that would have the same features but would not require MS Outlook? Almost everyone has Ms Word... so a mobile application whose files could be opened by Word would be great!
Pwi files are only opoened by Ms Outlook - it is not really fair by MS... but.... what can we do? Just buy Android or iPhone next time

I quite agree with you, I would add it's pathetic that MS doesn't include any small PWI viewer/converter in Vista (up to XP, Active Sync did it)
A dirty workaround could be to install Agile Notes as standard Notes replacement on the mobile, as this tool has the capability to save note in RTF format (readable with MS Word)

Why dirty? Could you be more specific?
Will this app. allow me to save text and drawings/hand writing? And than open it as in PDA on PC?

Dirty because RTF format is less compact than PWI and because this tool takes longer to start than the standard note writer (I've installed on my X1 but never used for this reason, when I need to write down a note I need to do it quickly)
Honestly I don't remember if it can save also drawings, just have a look
http://www.agilitylab.com/index.html
BTW: it's also freeware !

I have just installed it. It's ok but! it does not allow for handwriting and drawing :-( This is the most important feature for mi in notes app.
If you guys have anything that will do it and will allow to open itself on PC (without Outlook!!! ), pls let me know.
For normal notes I can always use Word Mobile.
