few questions

so i used to have a razr and on black friday i bought the AT&T Tilt. i've never owned a PDA or smartphone before.
now one thing i was wondering, if there's a program or some sort of tweak that would allow me to have a clock when my phone idles. i use my phone a lot as my clock and i would much rather have a digital read out of the time as a backdrop instead of a straight black screen.
also, i set up the xpress mail and i put my info for yahoo, and it downloaded my inbox but i can't get it to update and receive NEW mail. i can't find the update thing, i think when i set it up i had it update manually and now i can't find the place to change it. when i was reading gmail's mobile mail, it said there were only certain mobile email clients it works with, is there an outlook mobile or anything by chance?
lastly, this is the big one, i have a mac and want to bluetooth songs from my mac ONTO my tilt. i have a micro sd card in the tilt but when i tried to set up the bluetooth file exchange i couldn't get it to work right but i was able to set up my computer with my phone to connect to the internet. what do i need to do to get songs from my mac to my tilt through bluetooth. can it be done?
thanks in advanced!

First congrats on you new phone. Mine tilt should arrive in a few days. AS for you question I don't think there is such an application. Even if there was it would probably not be a good idea as it would likely cause your battery to drain quickly. This is a powerful little device that uses a lot of power that's why the display is set to time out (to help with battery life). Just learn to quickly tap to power button to wake the device for a quick glance.

To update you inbox:

that should do it.

Not sure about this one. I just put the SD card in a card reader an manually moved my music files to it.
Good luck. Hope this helps..
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

For the digital readout, you can use Slide2Unlock2 or the HTC Today Plugin found on these forums. They'll show a big digital readout of the time when you tap the power button. The other option is to use SPB Time, which will do what you're asking but at the cost of battery life. For doing automatic mail downloads, you should use Pocket Outlook (the default messaging app), and as Rojas said, set up your email account. The last page of options will ask you on what schedule you want to check. For the bluetooth thing, I think you need the bluetooth file explorer program. Search for it on these forums. Not sure why you'd want to transfer files via bluetooth though. There are so many easier ways of doing it.

what's easier? i figured since it's a mac the syncing program wouldn't work so i was just going to bluetooth files.

Pocket Outlook, Word and Excel are included on every Windows Mobile device. Read your manual. You will learn a lot by reading it.

ActiveSync Question

Hi, this might not belong in this forum but hopefully my question can be answered quickly.
I have all my contacts in Outlook 2003, and ActiveSync is set up to sync contacts, but when my Tilt and computer sync, the contacts from my outlook don't go onto my Tilt. Conversely, I made a contact on my Tilt and synced, and I could not find it in my Outlook.
How do I get the contacts from my Outlook 2003 onto my Tilt?

If you are having problems with Outlook sync, I would suggest this if no-one else comes up with an alternative.
Make sure you have the latest A-sync (4.5xxx) installed.
Back up your phone with SPB or something similar if you can.
Delete the Activesync association in 'Activesync' on your device and then go through the process of setting it up again when you connect to your PC/laptop.
Once this is done, select 'Replace all data on device...' which will give a CLEAN sync and will put all data from your PC/laptop back on your device.

I tried that, and it didn't seem to work. The phone sync's fine, but nothing goes onto the phone. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

OK, one last thought.. If you have tried this before, your PC may be holding the association name.
Before you connect the phone, Open Activesync on the PC, go to 'File' 'Delete Mobile device' and remove all references...
May work?

I tried both.
I flashed to the HTC rom from the Tilt rom. Looks like I'll be flashing back to Tilt to see if that's the problem.

Really wierd?? you cant sync at all??

It SAYS it's all synced, but the contacts are not on my phone.
edit: Looks like it wasn't the rom's fault. The Tilt rom also won't sync my contacts.

same problem with AS
same here
since i upgrade my xda iis to pdaviet wm6. i just select the contact to be synchronize. in AS its show syncronize 150 contact, when i put my device on the cradle.
but when its done. nothing seem to be copied
i try to add 1 contact manualy in my device and sync, it copied to outlook. so the opposite, when i add contact in my outlook, it copied to my device contact. but not the rest ...
i havent try with other rom nor other ver outlook
i use winXP SP2 with ms outlook 2007. my xda on pdaviet 5.80.02 WWE, ROM date 12/06/07
any sugest would be helpful
regards

I had the same problem with activesync saying it had copied over over contacts but nothing appeared (using outlook 2007 by the way).
So i plugged it into another laptop that had outlook 2007 installed and it synced no problem over activesync
So i guessed that there was some sort of courruption or error on my main desktop pc.
Fixed the whole problem by installing the latest office service pack.
Syncs perfectly now

sync problem with tilt
I had a problem sync'ing the tilt- xp/pro and office 07
I finally found out there were other versions of office on the machine, and apparently it didnt know where to point to outlook.
Uninstalled previous versions of office, cleaned the registry, and like magic, it worked fine.
Many hours spent finding this out. Had help from Mr. Bean.
I hope this helps.
Greg

help
If I do this will I lose all the contact on my phone? Sim?
also what file is this: Activesync association......which file do I delete?

Contacts from TILT to Vista (windows email)

Probably another stupid question by me, but oh well. Here it goes.
I have windows Vista on my laptop, and it doesn't have outlook it has windows email. When the ATT rep transferred my contacts from my old sim to the new 3G sim, as usual they all got screwed up. So is there a way I can sync up my phone to my laptop and transfer all my contacts from my sim to the contacts in the Windows email program? I wanted to edit them there becuase it would be so much easier. Then I would transfer those contacts back to my phone correctly. Is there a way?
The reason being is that I have multiple numbers for one person and the sim has it all mixed up. Thanks for your time and feedback.

From my understanding...there is no way to do it. I have had this conversation with the folks at HTC and Device Center only syncs to Outlook. You could possibly export them to Excel on the device then sync and open Excel on the lap top and resort them there.
I sure hope there is another way and I am sure the kind folks here will no more than I do.

Free trial of Office, with Outlook.

Install it, sync, fix contact remove.
Might be another way, but this is easiest as it is what is recommended.

Kaiser vs Hermes

i used to have a Hermes but the screen got stepped on and so i upgraded my plan to the Kaiser, but i have a big problem. all my important numbers are on the Hermes. so i wanted to know if the LCD screens are compatible, can i just take the screen from my Kaiser and attach it to the motherboard of my Hermes long enough to put the numbers on my SIM? or should i just go pay some guy in hong kong on ebay the $60 for a new screen?
Thanks in advance

Can't you just sync the Hermes with the PC (no screen needed for that) and then sync the Kaiser?

u serious? just sync ur hermes with outlook and then sync ur kaiser...

outlook
i've tried that, outlook was never installed on my phone and for some reason it won't install now

You shouldn't need to install it on your phone, it comes with windows, it is the program that handles contacts and messages. what happens when you sync?

it asks what i want to sync and contacts is greyed out, it won't let me

U sure u have (office) outlook installd on ur PC ?
Had the same problem with sync with MS outlook, installd Office and problem gone....
Goodluck

i have office on my pc, and i'm trying to sync it with wmdc and my phone will not appear, i have the phone plugged in, and nothing

syncing should do it.. but if not, then no.. the kaiser and hermes have different screens.
Although, the WIZARD and HERMES take the same LCD, just not the KAISER.

use this http://www.mymobiler.com/
It will let you use the computer to see whats going on and u can use ur mosue to click on things.
Used it for the same reason u need it.
Good lcuk

I also had broken screen and used mymobiler to control the PDA from PCs screen mouse and keyboard.
If you are unable to install mymobiler through activesync, active sysnc at least lets you access the file system:
Copy a file called pim.vol to PC and then to new PDA,and there you have all your contacts,tasks, and appointments !

How to transfer contacts from SE W960i to diamond

Hi guys,
I had W960i before...i have the backup of the contacts of the phone through SE backup manager...can u guys tell me ,is there any way i can transfer the contacts to my new Diamond..
cos i dont remember the phone numbers now n its difficult to add each n every contacts one by one..
plz guys help me

Try import your contact into the Outlook and edit your contact in Outlook!! Install As and sync.
Or try send the contact via bt. I think SE can send all contact.

or send it via bluetooth.

Hello, it's my first post in this great forum, i'm a total newby to WM6, but looking forward to learn
I'm in the same case, I've got a SE P1i, and will receive my diamond this week. You can create an account to www.zyb.com, then you will be able to synchronize your w960's contacts and calendar over the air with this account, and you can get them on your diamond by synchronizing it with the same zyb account.
That's what I will do as I don't use Windows OS on my PC, and can't transfer by bluetooth as I have only 1 sim card.

Have anyone tried this? Or any other successfull solution?
Transfer by bluetooth keep failing for me...

I used w880i before.
Just i used float's mobile agent ( http://fma.sourceforge.net/index2.htm freeware - best app ever ), i synchronized my mobile via bluetooth, and got my contacts on my notebook, in this application.
Also in fma, when you're in your contact list, you can select the ones you want, and if you right click, you can synchronize with outlook.
Then you can easily plug your Diamond, and use activesync and outlook to manage all your contacts.
That's it
