Qtek S100 Internal Memory Upgrade

[Anonymous]

Does anyone did a internal memory upgrade to 128mb in the Qtek S100? Where? Is it worth the price?
Thanks!!!

It's awesome ... 57Mb internal RAM is simply not enough. After the 128Mb upgrade, I did not have to select what to install in RAM anymore, and everything runs more smoothly than it did in 64Mb (I have an upgraded i-Mate Jam)

where did you upgrade your i-Mate? Just curious.. 8)

What exactly are you using all that RAM for? I've installed all I need, and I have plenty of space left.

Hi,

How can I upgrade my ram? Is it possible to use parts of other pocket pc's? I have a Qtek2020 which I could use for parts... (it's screen is broken)...

Thanks,
JeDa

Mine was upgraded by www.ppctechs.com. I have a requirement for the following programs to reside in RAM, since about 3 hours of my working day are spent connecting to the corporate Lan with a wireless SD card. One look at the list should indicate that I mostly use my PPC professionally.

TimeTTracker
Looks really powerful! I might check this out!

Tekstmaker
Planmaker
Looks good, really good. But if you're at your own premises (like you said) you might as well use the real thing on a full size computer with a full size keyboard to save some time.

KSE Truefax
Why? You must have fax machines at your company?

PocketPlan
Useful if you have project plans allocating your time on an hourly basis, if not - why do you need it in your pocket?

Citrix Client
VNC Client
Terminal Services client
All three of them? You should have your company selecting a standard environment. And WTS client is in ROM so that does not really count as something requireing space on your device.

TomTom
For navigating the corridors?

Adobe Acrobat
Reader or writer? At least on the QtekS100 there is an acrobat reader included in the ROM.

PocketLauncher
With SPB PocketPlus, why do you need this?

Peacemaker
Why exactly do you need this if you're connected to the WLAN?

Commontime mNotes
I guess if you're stuck with Notes you're stuck with this.

PIToday
Something like this should really be standard, but I personally prefer tAgenda. And does PIToday work with mNotes?

Hudson Phonedashboard
You have a company phone, right? So why bother?

PocketZenPhone
Nice one. But not really useful until I can use the volume slider to pick between different profiles.

Tube PRO London and Paris
Beutiful!

Pocket Informant
Does this work with mNotes or is it just a "nice to have"?

Sprite Backup
Is this really necessary? If you syncronize with your server using mNotes it seems a bit overdoing it.

SPB PocketPlus
This should be on every PPC!

SPB GPRS Monitor
Again, why? I used it for the trial period to find out roughly how much I was spending, but now I just don't bother. If I don't need to know I don't want to know.

Indeed :-)

It's mainly for reference purposes during meetings. The sheets I work with sometimes lose formulas in the translation to Pocket Excel


KSE Truefax
Why? You must have fax machines at your company?
Yes, but some faxes I receive are confidential

PocketPlan
Useful if you have project plans allocating your time on an hourly basis, if not - why do you need it in your pocket?
I have project managers in my staff, and need to able to see impact of changes in resource allocation, time frame changes, delivery delays during meetings in which we discuss these

My company has a standard environment. Our customers usually do not.


TomTom

For getting to my office :-) Actually I travel a lot by car, both for work and private.

Adobe Acrobat

Reader, and it's better than the westtek one, period.


PocketLauncher
With SPB PocketPlus, why do you need this?
I like tabbed menus better full screen than on the today screen. I do use pocketPlus, but only one single line for the key programs. The rest are organized in Pocket Launcher


Peacemaker
Why exactly do you need this if you're connected to the WLAN?
Peacemaker helps me exchange appoinments with people who have PalmOS (quite a few among my customers do)


Commontime mNotes
I guess if you're stuck with Notes you're stuck with this.
Yep


PIToday
Something like this should really be standard, but I personally prefer tAgenda. And does PIToday work with mNotes?
That's the fun of it. Regardles of what you use, all appointments go into the pocketpc underlying database. All PIMs are nothing but frontends in front of that same database. PIToday provides the list on the today screen, pocket informant gives me a more complete and detailed view when actually planning, and mNotes synchronizes that same underlying database with Lotus Notes.

Hudson Phonedashboard
You have a company phone, right? So why bother?
No, the PDA is private but I use it for work. The phone part contains my private number. I also have a company phone, but that is a phone only.


PocketZenPhone

useful enough for me though :-)


Tube PRO London and Paris
Beutiful!

Pocket Informant

As with PIToday above. PIToday is only a today plugin, Pocket Informant is the real PIM, and yes, Pocket Informant Rocks!! (and mNotes synchronizes my data from Lotus Notes to the PPC Database, so yes, for use with Pocket Informant.


Sprite Backup
Is this really necessary? If you syncronize with your server using mNotes it seems a bit overdoing it.
Yes, it is neccessary. A PPC usulaly not only contains data that can be synchronized with the desktop, but also license files, configuration files, favourite settings etc. Besides, PPCs do crash, and having a self extracting backup handy on a memory card gets you up and runnign in 30 seconds, back to the state your machine was in before the crash.

Indeed.

I need to know, since it's my private subscription. Aside from this, quite a few companies allow you to use a company phone, but with a quota above which one has to prove the calls are buisiness related, so yes, tracking calls may actually be of importance for more people than you would imagine.

Of course, the reply above was mine. Forgot to log in ...

Ok, I wont quote the long text :wink:

Although I would have chosen to carry a small laptop for some of the tasks I agree that if you don't you probably need most of the software you listed.

To Wiz:
With all those application running, How is the battery life on 128MB ?

thank you

[Wiz]

As far as I can tell, battery life is roughly the same with 128Mb installed, maybe slightly better even since I do not have to start programs from SD anymore.

how much memory now is free after a hard reset?
