I've recently switched from a Palm TX to the Tilt, and now I'm in a fix. I have been all over the internet trying to find a simple time keeping program. I've lived by "Time Card 2" for palm OS. The Program opens with 2 large buttons, an IN and a OUT. Pressing the button logs the time, and the elapsed time, between the IN and the OUT. Of course it exports the data as a .cvs. It also keeps a running total for weeks, until you reset it. Everything that I have found for WM6 has been way too complex, and hard to use. I use this while I'm driving, so having to pull the stylis out is not a good idea.
I know this request may be a little out of line for this forum...but if anyone knows....it would be you guys!
here's what i found what sounded aproximately like what you need...

hope its what you need
Thanks Pencilcase,
PPocket Time Card 1.4.01, which was the first suggestion that you listed, I have used on my old iPaq. This program would fill my needs but....it will not run on my AT&T Tilt. I contacted the developer, no plans on a upgrade for WM6.
Thanks for the suggestion....in any case.
Hey mlpoland,
It sounds like a pretty simple program. If you give me a description of what you want, I'll try to write it for you.

Help
Dave,
That would be great. I believe that it would be a simple program to write, I just wouldn't know where to get started. Do you use Visual Basic.net? Well here are the steps:
OPEN SCREEN: Two Large Buttons (one IN and one OUT)
PRESSING EITHER BUTTON: Logs the time like using the "NOW" function in Excel
"IN" BUTTON PRESS: Logs the time, starts a record.
"OUT" BUTTON PRESS: Logs the time and IF there has been an "IN" time recorded, calculates the elapsed time.
"OUT" BUTTON PRESSED: If no "IN" Button is recorded before it, a N/A is returned.
THE RECORDED FILES: The Spread sheet can be view on a second screen, allowing the records to be edited.
DATA EXPORTED: In a .csv format, giving the Day, Time, and Elapsed Time, Plus the Total of all the Elapsed time.
A RESET CLEARS ALL RECORDS:
The Palm OS program that I've used has a couple of additional features which are not critical. It records the elapsed time is 1/10 hour format, which is nice for my use, plus it turns the Palm Off after a button press.
It would be Great if you could help me with this, it doesn' seem like a very hard program to write.....I don't even know how to start!
Thanks

Ok I have something for you..
Let me know how it works.. It's writen for .Net so the compact framework is a requirement.
Just extract the PunchClock.zip to an arbitrary directory and execute the PunchClock.exe file..
It creates a punchClock.txt file in same directory as executable.. It's in CSV format with <DateTime>,<ellapsed nr. of seconds>,...
Program error
Thanks for the help. Conceptionally, the program appears to fill the need, however it faults out after any action past the first "punch in".
The details that are reported are as follows:
PunchClock.exe
ObjectDisposedException
at
System.Windows.Forms.Control.Invoke
Helper()
System.Windows.Forms.Control.Invoke()
at
RobinsFirstWM6.SimpleTimer.startTimer()
Hope this helps, I've typed it exactly as it appears on my screen. Thanks for helping with the requested program
Thanks again,
Marc
Ok.. on my kaiser it seems to run smooth.. but I'll look in to this..
I've read your description somewhat more and am planning a few changes that will make it more robust.
I only need time to sit down an code.. so stay tuned
Regards
Robin
Robin,
Thanks for your time and effort. I will be offline for a week...I've updated my signature with the info on my phone....maybe that will help you.
Thanks again,
Marc
I would be interesting in this as well, look forward to seeing the next version.
Simple Time Keeping Program
Folks,
It has been a week or so....so I thought I'd try to bring this thread back to life.

Hi there,
Cant believe after being on this forum for a while I didnt ask on here with all you superb programs that can write firmwares.
Anyway,
I'm looking for a very simple program to be written that can be used under XP/Vista.
Its probably quite simple to you programmers but I havn't a clue. (Hardware yes software no.)
Basically I'm after a simply reminder program that could pop up a message bottom right of the screen when a period has been reached after a start date has been set.
As an example:
Once the program is installed after 6 months a reminder glides up bottom right of the screen with a message, this message can be closed by the user but only reset by me.
It is going to be used to remind my customers to pop their machine back for its 6month Free Checkup.
Then when we have performed the check we can reset the counter to remind again in 6 months.
CAn anyone help,
Many thanks.
DAve.
Can you please provide a solution to this problem? I have several soft keyboards (SIPs) and every time I go to select one, I have to wait ten seconds for the keyboard list to appear (pop-up). I click on the little arrow next to the right of the keyboard icon and the list of soft keyboards shows up 8-10 seconds later. PLEASE HELP…
I've seen others post some sort of fix for this. It involves removing some software or something like that. Do a search on something like keyboard list or SIP list.
Wait, I just found the thread. You started that thread also and an answer was supplied. Why did you start a new thread? Did that not work? Even so, why not just keep posting in that one? What the hell? Is it a hobby of yours to open new threads to just keep asking the same question?

EDIT: Dude! This is the 3rd time you opened a thread and asked the same question!!!

Each time you got an answer with no response from you!
Thanks For Nothing…
I saw it however the solution wasn’t saying why it works. Anyway, THANKS TO YOU, I followed that solution and now all my soft keyboards are gone. The only keyboard I see in the list is the default built-in keyboard. You killed my Tilt, it doesn’t even function after a soft reset. THANKS FOR NOTHING…

How to reduce soft keyboard pop-up delay?
I have added two soft keyboards to my AT&T Tilt and when I try to select them by clicking on the up arrow next to the keyboard icon; it takes ~8 seconds for the keyboard list to appear. How can I reduce this time by modifying a registry key?
As I read in a forum,using a Registry Editor go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and export CLSID.
Delete CLSID and then run the file you exported before (CLSID.reg).It will ask if you want to import the file and you press "Yes".
Don't know why it works because it's the same thing, but it works!
And opening the same exact thread every other day was your response? maybe if you dialoged with the person, you'd get some feedback.
And apparently others have gotten it to work just fine. You are the only person who's "Tilt got Kilt" by this.
Any time you decide to mess with the Registry, you know the possible consequences. Blaming me or anyone else for your mistake is LAUGHABLE. A hard reset will basically allow you to do over. So your phone isn't dead, as you want to have us believe. And then you will say, I didn't have a backup. And somehow, that also will be our fault. People like you make people not want to provide help.

Ha, sorry you lost your keyboards, the saying I like most on this forum is "If you can't take the heat, stay out of the ROM Kitchen".
If you delete that registry entry and NOT restore it correctly I would guess that something like this would happen. You must follow instructions exactly and even then things can happen. I use Spb backup and keep my PPC backed up after EVERY successuful addition to the phone. If I screw up, I would restore back to the previous step. I haven't needed to yet and I've changed something on this Kaiser almost every day for 2 months now.
So don't whine to us, be responsible for you own data when you modify your toys like the rest of us or go play somewhere else
Is their anyway to remove the left softkey in messaging? It is set for the "send" command and I am always hitting it instead of the "r" or "t" key and it prematurely sends the message. Please help prevent premature send...
I have often thought of this, but never have dug into it because I always forget how much it bugs me until I've done it again. Let's have a look at the tmail resources & registry, shal we???
I'll see what I can find!
I'm trying to see if I can alter the function w/ a vkey call first, but I think it may be coded into the tmail.exe & that may be beyond my coding abilities.
Edit #1: No dice! I'll have a look at the outres.dll.0409.mui resource.
Edit #2: Nope. Can't do it without some serious knowledge of the poutlook program. You have two options here. The first is to completely kill (Disable) the softkey, or the better idea:

if you accidently hit send it will prompt for sender info. when you are ready to send, simply insert the contact details in and all is well.

Not the best option but it will have to do for now...I try to keep it tilted when typing and that helps some as the softkeys are hard to reach but somehow I still send it off sometimes. And when I do I usually do it several times in a row.
I reckon a good strong screwdriver should d it.
I've had HTC Kaiser rom on my phone for almost 9 months now, and I just now noticed the WorldCard Mobile program. I've been evaluating it, and it seems to work fairly well at recognizing the text and putting the information in the proper categories. What I can't get it to do is export that info to my contacts. I've read a few threads on it here at XDA, and some are saying it has to be registered, but I don't see any where to register it within the program. Reading up on the help section talks about [Export to Contact], but it only has "Export" and it doesn't give me an option on where to export. Is this an evaluation only version that came with the rom? Or is it full function and I just don't know what I'm doing?
It does work pretty well. After I take a snap shot of a card and go to exit the program it asks if I want to save as a contact. Mine isn't registered. You may want to download it and reinstall.
I have attached the user manual for worldcard mobile, sounds like you did not have it. Registration, usage and other features are described in detail and should resolve your query.
What i got along with the phone was a 30 day trial...

Thanks for the help file, but that is pretty much the same as is on the phone now, minus a few pictures. It does show what happens when you click on 'export' and mine does not do that. Clicking export will take me back to it's start screen. Clicking the 'about' icon doesn't give me an option to register, it gives me a normal 'about' screen that appears to be a registered version.
I have the install file from from PenPower, I will give that a try tonight.
Work'n now
I reinstalled the program and it is working now.
I have searched and searched for the last 3 days on XDA and other websites for a solution to this and this is the best I can come up with.
http://freewareppc.com/communication/missedcallreminder.shtml
This program will repeat the notifications for SMS and missed calls. After you hit the "Apply" button the program appears to close but it's not it's sitting in memory but as far as I can tell it doesn't really hurt performance. What I did to solve the fact that you have to run it after every soft reset is I copied the shortcut to the windows/startup folder. When your TILT boots it will auto run and retain the previous settings. You just need to press accept when ever you reset the phone.
This does NOT cause the notification to continuously repeat even after you read the SMS like the registry edit does.
Unlike PhoneAlarm, this program is very small and doesn't slow down the device.
I am NOT the author of this program, just suggesting the program here.
P.S. As you can see by my join date, I am new the the neighborhood. I am by no means an expert, but I hope this helps other people avoid the search/install/soft reset/uninstall/soft reset (REPEAT 10 times)
For those interested, that program was actually started here on XDA. Here is the thread where you should post all questions and requests for the author.
