Any suggestions for a hassle free password storage app that's relatively secure and very reliable?
I have used SPB Wallet
you can find it Here:

I use Hide My Stuff not sure this fit's your needs but worth a looky.
Splash ID works fine in my experience!

I completely agree on keepass. I have been using it for over a year now and it is great.
Thanks for the suggestions everyone I am trying them all.
Those of you using KeepPass, are you using the PC version as well, if so what version can share a datafile with the PPC version, looks like compatibility stops being stated around v1.14 (PC) with the most current PPC version?
Throwing in CodeWallet 2006 as an option. I've used it for the past 4 or some years now and have had all my data easily migrated and synced between 4 computers, one smartphone and one pocketpc.
What it doesn't do well is integrate with Firefox, which is my next quest .. however I have been more than happy with the product.
Did you try PocketPasswords?
www.pocketpasswords.com
I heard they are currently making a new version, which then has a PC app, too. You can then finally manage passwords and so on via PC, like with wallet.

I'm using 1.14 on PC and 0.4.6 on PPC. 1.15 for PC has not been out long so that may be why the PPC version is not yet compatible.
There is not auto sync between PC and PPC you need to copy the data file from one to the other. Not a big problem as my passwords only change once a month.
I'm being using FlexWallet since I migrated from a Dell Axim. No complaints:

Cross Platform
I use HandySafe.
The beauty of it is that if you move platform (I came from UIQ), just by installing and then copying the data file, you can use the same passkey and all content (well, some text hard return is now 'box' symbol on the note) are there ..
It works on WM, S60 and UIQ. It even comes with Desktop version ..
Hello,
I've got HTC HD7 with 02 branding and am running Win XP.
I am desperately trying to access phone's internal memory over USB with no success. I would like to shift data so like used to do it on my old HTC Diamond. And I dont want to use the Zune crap, cause it only allows shifting media files like music and videos...
I mean, WM6, 6.1 and 6.5 had a sperate option (ActiveSync, Memory Access or Internet Sharing) when plugging device to the computer.
Is there any similar app or built-in functionality to do so???
Thanks and regards,
schorschy

nope, zunes the only option right now.
i really do not understand microsoft... they announced wm7 as something absolutely groundbreaking and there are many functionalities i am missing even in comparison to wm6!!!
i mean, okay, i somehow can understand they removed activesync... but memory access via usb?! or wm6 to wm7 data migration?! i mean, these are basic functionalities every mobile device MUST have...
it really makes me think over about giving back my device...

I totally disagree, memory access by USB is not a must have function to sell a mobile phone by any means.
What data are you trying to put onto the device that won't be covered by Zune or a Windows Live/Google account etc?
i just think using pda as a memory stick is a very useful functionality... for example, shifting pdf's when being offline or similar...
Microsoft have taken the approach that in order to produce a stable platform, the file system needs to be locked down so that people cannot "tinker" with it. Its a sensible approach if you think about it from that perspective.
If this was such a big thing for you, why didn`t you check before purchasing?

Well, to each its own, some users TOTALLY DISAGREE with you, while I'm just like you thinking that a new system should be inclusive to all features and capabilities provided by the prior one.
Plus, tinkering with system file? well an 8 GB or 16 GB of storage SHOULD be used the way i Like it, not Locked out as some suggests, at least look ROM files, leaving the rest for the user preferences.
Final word, I TOTALLY AGREE with you about your complaint.

Now now Will,
I just have trouble grasping this type of thread - this was all known before launch and before devices were available to buy. But hey, whatever.
I've just bought a HD7 too, and I have to admit to being absolutely gutted. Admittedly I didn't do too much research into it before getting it but I just assumed that being a windows mobile device it would be reasonably friendly with windows on my desktop computer. I've been tinkering with zunes to get my old pictures and music onto the phone but it's just ghastly.
Chances are I'll ditch it and get an android methinks. Real shame because I used to love my old HD2.
admittedly, i didn't research on this phone before getting it... just because i trusted the plattform - wm6.1 and wm6.5 were stable enough... however, after getting the device, i must say it's nothing for "tweaker", but a pure media consumption system. and thats why i hate it - fancy layers, nice optics, easy-to-use apps, but... zero funtionality. using it makes me feel i'm a little schoolgirl wearing a pink t-shirt.
gonna give it back and get hd2. the lesson i learnt for the second time (after getting fresh-presented htc diamond touch in 2008):
it's better to have an older device with mature os and application landscape than to have the latest device with lots of "fancy" stuff!
never do the same mistake again... thanks to all for replies and warm greetings from germany!
For goodness sake, it was so well trailed that MS would make WP7 a locked down system it would have taken hardly any research to find it out. I wish I had the cash to purchase £500 smartphones with little or no research up front. There is nothing wrong with wanting to tweak etc. but to do so, get an android device, a WM6.5 device, a jail broken iPhone or wait until someone "jailbreaks" WP7. Sheesh it's like saying "OMG I bought a Toyota and am so disappointed to find it isn't a Ford"

Exactly.
Also there is a reason the product is called Windows Phone 7 and not Windows Mobile 7. I noticed its referred to as Windows Mobile 7 a lot in this thread.
Am I mistaken or didn't MS say they would still maintain updates to the old wm6.5 os as a side project?
also how can anyone say zune is ghastly? its easily the best media organizer there is 100times better than itunes and as for android i had a desire and the syncing was so basic and naff. Another good thing with zune is the music organization, look at itunes and getting album art it is dire. Zune on the other hand is easy as pie and if you cant find it in the library even a 5yo could use the manual edit tool. With Zune everything has the right name album art etc my itunes (i have a mac mini in my living room connected to my tv) is about 80% the rest is to messy to be bothered with. I found when syncing with my desire hardly any artwork came through and the media folders where dire to navigate (this is a biggie as i use it to play music in my car)
I think the thing here is as stated before, the facts are out there this phone is what it is. It is not a win 6.5 update it is a separate mobile os. The features it has are are far beyond anything else out there but if you want something that does something else then buy something else. You don't buy a toaster to fry chips.
+1 On the Zune is excellent front....awesome software

Hi All,
I wanted to share with you something that I think could develop into something quite useful (and cool ). I have successfully managed to launch remote applications from my Linux server onto my TP (similar to Citrix). For those that might be somewhat skeptical I've attached a screenshot below. And yes, your eyes do not deceive you – it most certainly is Word 2007 running! But before everyone starts jumping up and down with excitement, it's not an TP application that I've developed – more proof of concept.
If people are interested in trying this out themselves please let me know and I'll put up some instructions. Just a wording of warning though, this is a little fiddly and requires the user to use CLI via Executah and also a Linux PC (not sure how to achieve this with a Windows PC).
Also, if there are any Xterm/XServer/WebOS Developer experts for the TP here that can help me, please come forward as I would like to push this to be more GUI based so I could really use some help.
Thank you.
How does this compare to splashtop remote?
Wow very neat!
Don't run Linux so not for me but i'd find this useful if someone knew a way to do this via windows?

it's not as advance as splashtop. It's merely just a remote application running on a linux server. The example I posted was of word running via wine on my ubuntu server. However, I've managed to get rdesktop installed on the touchpad which means there is a possibility of running a windows application. I will try this out and see if it works.
I will report back as soon as I have some info. I post a screenshot of a windows app running, asumming I can get one to run.
Hi, I backup my phone every couple weeks. I normally backup my phone by adb pull to my HDD on my PC. Not really crazy, but i guess im doing it so often im using more space on the HDD then i would like.
Each backup goes to a brand new separate folder. So thats a bunch of folders with many Gb of data and most of it is repeated information. I however have a bunch of new files in each new backup. Some previous backups cant be deleted because ive actually wiped my phone and information on those specific backups arnt in the newer backups.
What i want is a way to sync the /sdcard/ on my N6 to a folder on my F:\shamu_backup. By sync i mean it pulls new files that arnt in the F:\shamu_backup. That way i dont have to have repeated information in my backups. It can get tedious trying to find all the changes i've done and delete all the files i dont need from the previous backups.
Adb has a sync, but try as i might, i cant seem to get it to work.
adb sync /sdcard/ F:\shamu_backup
no go
adb sync /sdcard/
no go
adb sync F:\shamu_backup /sdcard/
no go
adb sync /sdcard/ -p F:/shamu_backup
no go
Anyway, i could go on but i guess my tries are fruitless. Maybe this command isnt even for what i want, so if their is something better then please let me know. Today i just made a backup to a separate folder because im done googling it for now, but id appreciate some help for the future.
It looks like it's host -> device
Code:
" adb sync [ <directory> ] - copy host->device only if changed\n"
" (-l means list but don't copy)\n"
" (see 'adb help all')\
lol, im not going to knock you for just repeating the documentation verbatim, however it would be awesome if you could give me some additional information that would actually help me. The first thing i did when i found out about the command was read that. I then did like 10min of googling. Some sites talk about it but its exactly like the documentation states. I haven't actually learned anything about the command from this thread....
It's not the documentation, it's the source code. There can't be more info than that.
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+/android-6.0.1_r11/adb/
Just out of curiosity, was this page one of the locations you found in your ten minutes of searching? On XDA, we also have a search engine, and when used it sometimes comes up with marvelous things, like this tutorial. If you didn't try the search engine on the site, perhaps you should have, as the tutorial happened to also be featured on the XDA Portal (i.e. the XDA front page).
Unfortunately, I'm not sure you'll be able to get more information than this.
Ok, i would like to walk through one slowly. I would like to say thank you to both of you. You guys rock. It is frustrating, and i think my tone should have been better.
Moving on, I would like to say that by additional information i mean i would just love for someone to literally write out the command for me that actually works. I know this might sound insane but i cant actually get it to work. Ive done testing sessions on several occasions trying to get it to work and it just doesn't want to. Im clearly missing it, whatever im suppose to do it has gone straight over my head.
That guide is great that you posted but says nothing about the adb sync that im trying to do. No i did not explicitly search xda, i used google for several sites which did include several xda threads. I guess in response to:

I guess im just really stupid here, and im not being sarcastic. I have no clue where in that page where it talks about "adb sync" . I guess im asking you to treat me lower then you did above, and just show me? The location that i want to sync from my phone to pc is "/sdcard/" and the spot on my pc is "f:\shamu_backup".
and to show you guys im trying and not being lazy, (i really want your help...) i shall show you more of my guesses.
adb sync f:\shamu_backup /sdcard/
no dice
Looking at your tutorial, maybe your trying to say i was suppose to use shell... No dice:
adb shell sync f:\shamu_backup /sdcard/
no dice
maybe im suppose to put it in brackets?
adb sync [f:\shamu_backup /sdcard/]
no dice
adb sync [/sdcard/ f:shamu_backup]
no dice
Anywho, i would be really thankful if you guys could just write exactly what i need to write so as to not create any more confusion. I clearly have no idea how to use this command.
It's host to device, and not vice versa. It is used to push more files to the device, but only those that are missing or changed.
Hello people i was wondering how it is possible for me to operate my device on my pc for testing, is it some sort of android development program or emulation program, i just want a picture of my phone on my pc screen and be able to navigate it as if i was using my phone itself, I want to do this for testing out different things making videos etc any help much appreciated
