What can a Diamond do?

I just bought a Touch Diamond -very nice phone with a couple exceptions.
Touchflo 3d is nice but Im finding it doesnt have much depth - it needs more functions. And the loudspeaker is not very good - not loud, not clear.
Anyways, its my first windows mobile phone and had a couple questions about what WM6.1 can do. Im using Vista btw.
1. Email - Im downloading ALL my email and its fairly big. Can I force it to save only to internal storage?
2. Music - How do you get the album photo to come up while playing through Touchflo music - the picture does come up if i just play in windows media player.
3. Is it possible to add/remove multiple contacts from the People Menu ie Favourite contact
4. Most important - connectivity. Is it possible to access the phone wirelessly from PC via router? The phone connects to the router wirelessly fine and I can use the internet. But what I want to be able to do is either access the internal storage or sync up with outlook without using the usb cable.
5. What kind of BASIC phone functions does it have?
Eg. Call timer during call
Stop it going to that call history page after a call - i want it to go straight back to home.
Theres more functions it seems to be missing....
6. How do you make it so it FULLY shuts down a program when u hit the top right close button? I dont want to have to keep re-hitting the top right button to open task manager and full close it that way.
7. Lastly, is there any secret tips that a newbie wouldnt know about eg. codes to get to secret menus etc?

1. I don't think so, but I don't download email, so somebody who does may be able to help.
2. Strange problem, probably to do with the version of ID3 tags each uses. But again I have no idea how to solve it
3. No idea with no device in hand
4. Microsoft, being twats, reoved sync via Wi-Fi with the upgrade to WM2003. So, sorry mate, no way that I know
5. My dialer on my other PPC has call timer I think, but the diamond's may not, a new dialer with it included may solve the problem.
Other stuff missing?
6. Get a proper x button, like WKTask, or Wisbar, or something similar. Its also probably possible to change the settings to make it close by tapping X. I also think that with the HTC program, you can close by tap and hold, or, from today, click where the x should be, and a menu comes up enabling you to close them individually.
7. Secret codes? Not that I know of.
Hope the small things I have known here do help

Yeah, 6 is definitely something that can be done in the standard Windows Mobile settings (unless they've removed the setting in 6.1, in which case a registry edit might do it).

I guess when the phone has been out for a while, a lot of registry tweaks and utils will show up around here to adress all kinds of small and big issues.

i was gona go for a diamond but look at htc touch pro. everything diamond plus hardware keyboard and memory expansion slot (minus front camera).

Found how to fully close the progam in one go - went to task manager - button - and chose "End Programs by tapping X"
Under this option is "End programs by tapping and holding X" which is the default.
I tried it and it does work but I dont like it. Coz u cant really tell how long to hold it. If u keep holding, the program actually just stays open until u release. And I guess if u release too early it wont fully close.
Anyways - thats not a huge issue - wireless sync is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Has anyone found a way to get around it?

Best you can do with WIFI is put the UNC name of your pc into the browser and bring up the shares.
If you want to sync wirelessly, you'll have to do it via bluetooth. You should be able to get a bluetooth dongle for your pc for about 20 bucks though.

OH YEAH!!!!!!!! Going through Opera to browse my PC directory - You little beauty!!!
Now, how do I set up a name for the diamond so I can see it on my PC. Is there a setting you have to enable? I browse for "PCs" and it doesnt find the diamond - just my other PCs

Suggestion: Gmote Like App for MythTV

Hello Everyone,
On the Android Market you can dowload Gmote which turns the the G1 into a remote control for Window's or Mac via a client/server type configuration over WiFi. It would be cool to write a similar application for MythTV. I'm not sure how it could be done, but it's cool. I'd try it myself, but I have 2 little kids at home and no spare time
Thoughts?
Tim

I know this thread is REAL old but it's the first hit on google, so I though i'd put in what I found. Mythmote works GREAT!
code.google.com/p/mythmote/
it's available in the market. I had to restart my frontend after enabling the remote.

Does such a program exist?

I have serched high and low. I was wondering if there was anyway to get Microsoft Access onto my Fuze. I have a biz that runs on Access, it would be helpful if i could have it with me at all times instead of having to carry a laptop everywhere i go.

I don't think such a program exists. I'm assuming that your Access stuff is a full application with forms, etc? You can probably use something like this --> http://www.handster.com/programs.php?id=2906&for=Pocket PC mdb to update the tables, but I can't see it running reports, etc.
If you have a decent data plan, then one option is to run Remote Desktop to a PC back at base running the Access Application. I've got a Virtual Machine on my server which I can access from my Touch Pro. I can run any app I want on there, and as long as I don't try to do anything stupid (like play a video), then it works fine. This is the only way I could see your Access application working on your TP.
Cheers,
Steve.

I believe the client is built into the Fuze. If you have a custom ROM, just do a search. Several threads have the cab to install it on the Fuze. It has also been built into Windows since at least XP. You have to be a local admin or in the remote users group to Remote Desktop or RDP to your desktop.

Req: SMS via PC

Since there are a lot of developers here...
I'd really like an application with which I can send SMS via my pc (using either usb or bluetooth). So I am not bothered to type SMSes on my telly but rather on my computer.
AFAIK there doesn't exist a program like this?
For WM I used to use Jeyo Mobile Companion.
Thanks!

Quick search of the market brought up 'Droid Messenger'.

Thanks, but I rather have my messages not sent via a website. Who knows what they'll do with it.
Moreover, the website doesn't work anyway.
Maybe other suggestions?

I used to use a program called mymobiler on my Windows Mobile that allowed me to type via my keyboard onto the phone. Made sending long SMS's a breeze!
I just found this morning a program that does something similar. Allows you to control your Android phone via your computer -

Works quite well!

Thanks for that androidscreencast tip lewman! I have been after something like that for ages and even considered making myself one! Will try it tomorrow and see how it goes.
Just found something that might be interesting

not sure if it would work for htc hero, but worth a try.

I am using the desktop sms mentioned in previous post on my Hero and it works perfectly well.
It got installed as a package when I installed Droidexplorer (very nice program for windows users).

Well, I tried desktopSMS and it does appear to work. It did force close on me once at the beginning, but it seems to work ok now. Can sent a message and appears in the list when I receive them.
I just wish there was some sort of notifications on pc that the message has been received and who it was from.
Unfortunately, androidscreencast doesn't work for me. I get an exception error (permission denied) when loading the jnlp link. Lewman > how did you get your androidscreencast working?

if you don't mind shelling out a bit - get smsToMailbox - I've been using the Lite version and it works perfectly/free

Hi guys,
Any update on this? Is there any other app which can do this?

You want to write your sms from the hero via a pc, usb connected for example? I use My Phone Explorer... works on all Android devices.

Projecting Nexus One on PC

Hi,
I need a software which will help me project Nexus One Screen onto my PC. I used a Java based software Droid(at)Screen for G1. It is not working for nexus One.
Can anyone help plz.
Thanks in Advance

If you have root, then search for droid VNC server on the market.
even without root, it might work for viewing purposes (i.e you likely won't be able to type or click).
Works well with most VNC client / viewer applications - in fact, you could view it through a http link in your browser without a VNC client if java is installed / working ok on your machine.

Thanks Sd00 for the response. Actually, I am new to these devices, so couldnt understand what you had mentioned. (actually its too much of hightech for me). Can you please let me know what I need to install on the phone or check?
Thanks

Install droid vnc server app from the market, run the app, press start button on the app, read the http it shows you on the screen & type it in to the address bar of your internet browse, waa laa.
