hey hey,
i found a few, but i wanted to ask you what you think is
the best projektmanagement and timetracking software for
windows mobile. the best would be if it integrates with the
default calender and tasks.
btw. i do not _need_ groupware. most time i work alone...
thx for every hint!!

Pocket Informant 8.5 is amazing, don't know exactly what features you're looking for, but here is the features list:
http://webis.net/products_info.php?p_id=pocketinformant&tab_id=features
looks interesting! but on the first view i do not see any timetracking.
it´s obviously possible to sort tasks in some kind of hirarchy but nothing
to record worktime per project/task.
but i´ll test the demo, thx
anything else?

The best Project Management and Time Tracking software I have found so far is ValleySpeak Project Server which Share Microsoft Project schedules with team. Includes Project Portfolio Management, Issue Tracking, Risk Management, Timesheet Management, Document Management, Calendar Management, Forums, Reports and Project Dashboard.
A good hosted Project Management software that suits my EPM needs is called valleyspeak project server, which I found at http://www.valleyspeak.com. One of the main reasons why I like the software is the fact that I could continue to work in Microsoft Project 2007 while sharing my Microsoft Project plans with my teams.
ValleySpeak Project Server is a hosted project management solution which can be used by Project Managers to publish, control and execute projects in real time, while continuing to make full use of Microsoft Project 2007.
Because it is a hosted service, I did not have to buy expensive software or deal with installation and maintenance headaches. The functionality that I have with valleyspeak to manage my geographically dispersed teams works well for me. We also evaluated Basecamp and some other solutions but were not impressed.
why does this sound like advertising to me?
but anyway: as i sayed: most time i work alone
so i don´t need to share anything. when i work
with someone, that someone is probably a mac-
user anyway. so i guess, a server would be far
to much for me.
something that integrates with outlook or
thunderbird+lightening (tasks ans dates)
would be nice. but not necessary.
i just want to hirarchly organize the things
i have to do and track how much time i need
for what. would be nice if the timetracking
would go easy with start and stop-buttons
(like a stopwatch) and if it could output
detailed reports...

I would like to recommend you for timesolv. It provides secure web-based time, billing and practice management solution for profession services firms. It has lots of facilities rather than other applications.
For more information you can visit: http://www.timesolv.com/
Hope this will work out for you.
All the best!
There are many time management software's available for mobiles mostly iphone...
Sorry to revive this old thread, but there's a lot of alternatives you can choose if you were to search it on the Internet. Here are some of the best time tracking apps for Windows Mobile:
softpedia.com
exaktime.com
systenomics.com
timecardtour.worktrack.com/
Time Tracker Pro
Time tracking is useful for anyone who wants to manage time and work habits especially if you want a social life at the end of the day..
You may also want to check out Time Doctor software (http://www.timedoctor.com). A free employee time tracking software for desktop, and frankly, one of the most advanced time management software I have come across.
thanx
but meanwhile i switched to android and use harvest.com

I would also suggest these 3 project management software with great time tracking feature:
1. Basecamp - works great for project and task management as well as an event calendar for schedules
2. Zoho Project - this one has great functionality in task and time tracking too. UI is also great
3. Central Desktop - good for collaboration within the projects and among the team.
If I were to choose, I'd prefer basecamp. That's because it's simple to use and very user-friendly. Doesn't need lots of time to learn from it. You may also check these basecamp alternatives and see which ones you like. The list and comparison of features will help you choose which one suits your preference.
I tried this time doctor
I actually used the tracking software on my site for wealth generators and it had a small glitch, I'll see if I get this fixed by an expert developer and then I'll keep you updated.
Hi,
I have an easy question...^^
How can I program programs for my phone?
Is there anywhere a tutorial or something like that?
Or are all of you just very high skilled programmer?
I'm very interested in programming, but I only handl Java and php..
I hope someone of you can explain me where I can learn this =)
Greetings
Chris
PS:I hope I posted this in the right section...^^
PPS: I'm from Germany so I'm sorry for any mistake in my sentences and I hope there is also a German programmer who can show me a tutorial on German, but English is also OK.
I asked this question a few months back and no one helped. Here is what I have been able to find on my own:
To program for your Windows Mobile device you need Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Standard edition or later. That is an expensive development program. If you buy that program, you can download a Windows Mobile plugin for free that includes an emulator for debugging.
I personally refuse to shell out tons of cash for the ability to program for my phone for personal use. I have not been able to locate anywhere on the internet even the slightest hint of a way that I can write a program for my phone with open source or free software. I use notepad++ and g++ for my coding needs so I was really hoping for a way to program using only these tools with perhaps an additional library.
Speaking of libraries, open gl es is open gl for embedded devices such as your Raphael. I have been unable to find an open gl es tutorial that does not involve buying Visual Studio.
If anyone can find anything else, please post here.
I've used C# and C\C++ to write programs for Pocket PC\Windows Mobile. Java I believe you can use with limited functionality (not the same as on the web). Php is a web langange I believe??
Are you using C++ via Microsoft Visual Studio, or do you know how to compile mobile programs without dropping money in Microsoft's bank?
@Chunkyeggfoo
I know that php is for the web
I only wanted to show, that im not a totally noob in programming ^^
But my question was: Where do you learned this? Did you have an online tutorial, or from school? Or somewhere else...from a book maybe?
Here is one answer to the question.
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mobile/WiMoSansVS.aspx
I have never followed this guide because I use Visual Studio 2008. I started programming using visual basic .net (VERY EASY TO LEARN). Later, I wanted to write applications for the today screen and I needed to learn C++ and the win32 API. (NOT FUN!!!) The good news is that I have several programs that I use on my today screen including weather, calendar, battery monitor, task switcher, music player and an alarm. It has taken me about a year to become pretty proficient. NOTE: when you move from managed code (.net framework) to unmannaged code (C++, win32) you have to be VERY careful to properly manage device memory or you will end up with memory leaks.
I've attached a picture of my today screen to illustrate the possibilities.
Have fun
Edit
You can also download evc4 and the evc4.sp4 from the following links.

This will be a very powerful tool but probably very hard to learn too...
Check out this thread. It has lots of info.

You can take a C++ programming class at most community colleges (not state or UC, ie very expensive). im currently taking the pre req that will allow me to take it next semester.
I think,the simpliest way is the Basic4PPC(Basic for PocketPC). Use Google and search for it.
programming
i guess the best way is learn C#, i'm a visual basic programmer and the best app you can do with it is database app, if you want to do more powerful app for your phone is better to learn C#
i'm learning c# right now

Here we go:
I use a number of Microsoft Access Databases for my work, and each one is intensely coded and designed and basically run like actual programs. What I am looking for is to be able to take these databases with me. Now understanding that Microsoft and Android are two completely different beasts, what I really am looking for is the ability to take the tables (I use all Back-end database so all my tables are in a completely separate file then all my forms, queries, and reports) and the data with me and be able to run them in a program on Android that keeps the relationships and fields and all of that sort of stuff.
Now what would be great is the ability to use forms (even if special forms for android need to be made), run queries, and even be able to run reports and print as PDFs.
now I know how to code in VBA, hence the extensive coding I have done in Access, so anybody willing to WORK WITH in creating an Android Program to basically be an extension of Microsoft Access please contact me. Please not I use the words WORK WITH loosely, while I am trying to learn how to Program for Android, I currently do not have a computer that I can use to develop programs for android on, and well I would be only able to create the "Hello World" starter program and this project seems a slight bit more complicated. But what I can bring to the table is real world experience in testing and using the program day in and day out, a number of already existing Microsoft Access Databases ranging from Complex to Simple that I use every day. Really a program that can run Microsoft Access Tables on Android would be really useful to me and I am willing to do anything to help make this happen.

I think we must have the same job
Android utilizes an sqlite database engine and it looks like sqlite already offers a conversion utility HERE. The real question would be how to get the data in and out of the phone. Regarding forms, they definitely would need to be custom built.
Thanks this is deffenetly a start, From what I can tell this This Looks to be the most promising, It looks like all you would have to do is put a MS Access Database file on your SD CARD and have a program access it. That way you copy it back and forth. Unfortunately it doesn't support Access 2003, but I can save down. I also got a lot of learning to do in programing Java programs.
Forms would be as simply as making a program, this is great thanks much

I would like to say, "yes, please!" to this idea. I currently use Smart List to Go (the descendant of ThinkDB) on my Palm TX. The TX is dying, and I've been shopping for a replacement. HanDBase exists for the iPhone, but I don't want an iPhone. So I've been focused on WinMo - not by choice as much as by necessity.
And android option would be very welcome around my computers.

Exactly and we're talking about creating an app that would enable manipulation of an sqlite database. Essentially all that would be needed would be to create a ui framework wrapper for the existing api in android. Not the least monumental task I've heard of an individual taking on but not the most either.
The versions of pocket office that I've seen for android do not currently support Access databases as far as I'm aware. If I'm wrong could you post a link and save everyone some trouble?
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Jackcess library is now patched to support android (will be in 1.2.2 release). Also seems to support 2000, 2003 and 2007 formats now.
Works great for me.
View jackcess site. Couldn't find anything on support for android. I'm using htc desire and would really like to find program to view ms access file. Can you tell me how you do it?
As I remember reading worked as on PC, while writing had some problems.
This forum prevents me from linking directly, but if you click tracker/patches on Jackcess project, check Android Compatibility Fix - ID: 3101578
The changes are in trunk and will be in the 1.2.2 release. I've added some
notes which will eventually make it to the FAQ page on the website
detailing the compatibility steps:
- Set the system property "com.healthmarketscience.jackcess.broken
Nio=true"
- Set the system property "com.healthmarketscience.jackcess.resour
cePath=res/raw/"
- Copy the *.txt, *.mdb, and *.accdb files from the
"com/healthmarketscience/jackcess/" directory in the Jackcess jar to the
"/res/raw" Android application directory.
- Before executing any Jackcess code, set the current Thread's context
classloader, e.g.
"Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(Database.class.getClassLoader())".

Until this version (1.2.2) is released you need to build lib yourself.
You also need commons-lang and commons-logging from apache commons.
Before you use Jackcess in Android code, you set
Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(
getClass().getClassLoader());
System.setProperty(
"com.healthmarketscience.jackcess.brokenNio",
"true");
System.setProperty(
"com.healthmarketscience.jackcess.resourcePath",
"res/raw/");
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and copy those resource files to res/raw
Then you can work as on PC, for example open /sdcard/yourprogram/file.mdb
Jackcess has no GUI, it's a library to read/write access files.
Getting an Access file into Android
I keep a lot of information on a Psion Revo, which has just turned its face to the wall and is giving up the ghost, and have always backed the information up on to my pc as an Access file. It looks easier to get this into a format acceptable to Android by converting the Access .mbx file into an Excel .xls file. This can be searched readily by Column and Values. Maybe this deals with too simple a need for most enquirers to the forum, but if it helps somebody then so much the better.
hi all i have beenlooking for something the same for some time now and just the other day i came accross this site cellica.com
the android app is free and the desktop application has a 5 day trial period or its $50 to buy it works great the only thing you can not do is create a report from the phone
i have emailed support team and they said they will be adding it on in the future.
Any Updates???
I currently build and use databases in MS Access and was wondering if there are any updates on this topic now that Tablets are in use now. Looking to get the Motorola Xoom (2nd version) in the future, but would love to be able to use a program that I would be able to access my MS Access databases while "on-the-go".
Anyone? This would be huge (I believe), since we now have tablets.
Thanks a bunch,
~Kilch~
Access to MS Access by Android
Hi,
I'm also looking to get on-the-go access to my Access databases on my Android HTC Tattoo.
The file is on it, I just need a tool to access it in read-only / search mode, but judging from the previous comments, there doesn't seem to be an oversupply in applications.
The "convert to Excel format" may be OK for me. I want to use a 3 language Access DB (dictionary) on my phone, so I'll try the Excel solution.
It would be nice if we had an ACCESS reader though...

Panacea Database
I know XDA frowns upon excessively hawking your own products here, but I do seem to be directly answering more than one of the reply questions, it just happens that the answer is an application my company released.
The Panacea Database application can handle Access from Access 2000 to Access 2007. It has also worked so far on every Access 2010 database we've tested, and we've received no complaints in that department yet. We release updates from time to time as we improve its functionality and features, often guided in our priorities by user e-mail and market comments. Our next update will be focused on improving screen layout for a variety of Android devices - from small QVGA smartphones, to large WXGA tablets. After that we may move onto other functionality.
In the interest of fairness, I'll point out arafa1209's post. He mentions Celicca Database, which is the only other application that I know of that deals with Access databases on Android. It has features Panacea does not have (yet) - ability to work with forms, ability to create and modify databases, ability to connect to your PC etc. Like us, they also send out updates improving their app regularly. So you can compare the apps, and use which one fits your needs better (or use both). If anyone knows of any others they can post here as well, but these are the only two I know of currently.
Just tried Panacea. Although it is more basic and annoyingly doesn't remember the last files you'be opened necessitating finding the file each time you open the app I prefer it for the simple reason you don't have to convert the Access database to another format.

If you update the app, this should be fixed, the last version should have this feature.
Got the update last week. Certainly goes a long way to making it more user-friendly. Keep up the great work!
Since the last update it seems to be broken. Although it remembers the last database I cannot open a table within any database.
Edit: It appears the file was corrupted. Loaded a new file and all working again.
Any news in this topic.
I tried panacea Database, works fine. But not very effective. Searching data is a must for me however I didnt manage to find a search option. When I search for tables, it cant even locate the tables by names.
So I recently got very interested in Windows Phone 7 (mango) and I had been thinking about starting to create my own apps for a while. The result is the idea for an app that is as follows:
Name: Crumbs
Possible abbreviation: to send somebody a "crumb"
In short: An app that capable of: writing/creating, organising, sharing and following instructions, AKA crumbs.
What I want to achieve with this is a new option into social networking, but this time it's also very useful and not just fun to show off. What could these crumbs be? Well, I've thought of some categories already:
Routinely task:
like the stuff you do every morning, shouldn't forget, etc.
Work/study task:
some sort of study schedule, with certain points you should handle to complete the whole task.
Preparation/cooking task:
doesn't need any explanation.
Scavenger hunt/adventure:
wouldn't it be great if you can give a list of instructions to someone with some reward at the end?
Travelling:
similar to your adventure, but could contain various flight data or a couple of options (so you don't "finish" an item, but finish 1 item in a dillema.
Other: always have some other category..
User defined: if a user wants to make his/her own category.So these are the categories, but as you've already seen, each category has different types of commands/operations one has to perform to complete the whole task. So when writing a new one, you could filter the entry-options by the ones most important for that category and give the users a seperate option to add another operation than the ones listed by default. Some possible operations and their integration ideas are as stated below:
Action: very straightforward, do something and when executing the crumb you simply check the box when done. Maybe some option with a timer that alerts you that you should be done with the operation soon (for example: cooking).
Navigate: go to a specific location and then you check the operation. Possible GPS integration/maps?
Input: give certain input to go on. For example useful when creating an adventure (go there, look for the church and read what's on it) or something else that should need a password or any other input.
Alert: to alert yourself/the executor OR (and this is important) some other user that you've arrived at a certain operation in your crumb.
Yeah, you read it right, another user. Because one other important aspect of almost every app nowadays is SHARING. So ofcourse, there will have to be the option to share crumbs. People will be able to manage their crumbs on a phone ofcourse, but if there's a lot, wouldn't it be easy to have them stored online too? A place where you can rapidly type, organise and share your crumbs. So there should be a format to save them in (.crumb looks fantastic ). So, you simply send someone the crumb using a public link you create for your privately stored crumb. But what about something called instructors/friends? Wouldn't it be awesome if you can allow certain people to GIVE you crumbs straightaway, so you'll get alerted and know you have to do something (OK, "your mom" wouldn't be awesome, but useful nonetheless). To make things easier for this, the users will have to be able to manage these friends/instructors too and have their own cookie jar/cake box to receive their crumbs directly in (on the website and in the app). I sense some Facebook/social integration, don't you?
Then there's this weird habit of people: they've got calendars and tasks on them. Wouldn't it be great if the crumbs are linked to calendar and/or outlook-task items?
Sooo... This is my (already quite complex) idea. To conclude things once again: the outlook task system isn't capable of managing real tasks. You can give certain progress percentages, but that's just something that could be managed by this app, since it's much more in depth.
Problem is, I'm not that good at developing (yet)! So if any developer out there is willing to take this thing on with me (I just feel this could turn out great), please let me know. Meanwhile, I'll keep dreaming on and I'm a quick learner, so I hope to show a mockup of some sorts soon . I've already thought out some sort of menu structure/frame everything should be hung up in and that's what I'll be working on the time to come.
And keep in mind:
This idea is NOT for sharing by anyone but me right now. That it may be very clear that this idea is not for your own use!
I’ve enjoyed writing down my thoughts and my entire workflow as one big chunk of text before starting coding. It helps me to get an overview of the things that I need to be doing. I’ve noticed that different developers have their own unique way of planning and organizing their work - right from paper and checklists, to visual boards.
It would be interesting to see 1. what tools each of us use to manage your project plan? 2. how we share this plan with our team members/clients? 3. how do we manage our specific daily tasks and todos? and 4. our workflow/ project management process?
Feel free to share your thoughts. Probably we could learn from each other's best practices.
Well, I have a system about the daily tasks and todos. Whenever I start any work I have to have a list of tasks, written in paper or in computer, to tell me all the things I have to do. These tasks can be very small things, like fixing some small flaw, or bigger things, such as starting to implement some bigger feature. Once I have all the tasks written down, I start doing the items in list in what ever order I feel like is the best, wiping things off the list as I finish them. Usually the list grows as there comes up some stuff that I was not able to plan beforehand, but as long as I have all these tasks written down, they will eventually all be dealt with. This system is super simple and helps to keep the stress down as I do not have to try to remember all these small things, and I am able to focus on the task that I am doing right now.
Talking about my own, single person projects:
Earlier, I just started coding and then had a lot of refactoring, removing, redoing...
In my recenty projects, I started writing document and just put in all my ideas. Writing helped to organize my thoughts and ideas.
The document ended it paragraphs like
- motivation
- interface
- feature x
- feature y
- feature z
... and rough ideas of how to implement something (client-server communication, how to...)
So I just used something like word.
I think, moving it further, you could use scribbles of classes, class diagrams... but for that I am still an too impulsive coder.
I'm using trello.com and creating 3 boards TODO DOING DONE. It help a lot with organization .
