show me some xda developer love

[chewan]

hey, just got my siemens sx56 yesterday, and i'm an xda n00b, wondering if you guys could help me out with a few things...

first off... killer apps. what do you guys use. what's cool. what should i try. i've owned a ppc pda before, but pretty much all i got on there right now is 4.0 student and battery pack. looking for resco's file explorer and pocket streets. also good games would be greatly appreciated...

second, i want to be able once i have a screen protector to dial with my fingers, and use the address book with my fingers as well... are there different xda dialers/phonebooks?

everybody on this board is so terribly helpful. thanks for helping me update the ROM yesterday. thanks, john

also that wmodem proggie... what can i do with it, how does it work?

and FINAL question... why is it that activesync 3.7 will stop syncing with my pda? the last time it did it, i had to completely uninstall activesync and reinstall it. when i turn my phone on, it makes a sound to signify that new hardware has been connected, but activesynce remains dim. i don't remember having this problem with 3.6, however, i do recall the problem with 3.7. is there a way around this glitch?

So you installed a new ROM. What did you get? There may be lots of cool things included with your new ROM, including dialers and what not.

Wmodem.exe only works with ROM versions 3.16.52, 3.17.03, 3.19.06 and 3.20.06, it has not yet been seen in 4.x (WM2003) ROMs.

" it makes a sound to signify that new hardware has been connected, but activesynce remains dim"

I get the same problem occasionally and have found the easiest way around it is to do a soft reset, then wait until it's fully up and running before putting the XDA back in the cradle. Annoying but it works.

Hope this helps.
