Is Arcsoft MMS any good? How much does it cost? (or is it freeware).

Right now I have pretty much nothing installed on my XV6800. I really liked Opera Mobile 9.5 beta 1 but the 'out of memory' bug drove me bonkers.

I pretty much just use google apps with nuevasync for calendar & contacts then IMAP with gmail.

One thing I hate is the 160 character limit on my SMS messaging right now. My only smart phone didn't have that limit and it's driving me nuts with people's messages getting cut off.

I thought all SMS messages (regardless of phone type or provider) were limited to 160 characters. Is this not the case?

[Shocky0]

I swear I had an XV8600 (LG) with verizon service and it didn't have that limit.. Or atleast no text message of any length from phone-to-phone within the verizon network ever got cut off. (Email were the exception, anything that went number@vtext.com did get cut off)

I could be mistaken as I'm prone to memory failure but I'de bet my pinky's toe nail.

I am using Arcsoft MMS right now and here are a couple of screen shots of what happens if I go over 160 characters in a single message. I believe a single message limit is 160 characters but it'll allow you to type as many characters as you want; it'll just divide them up in to separate messages (top left-hand corner of the screen).

Hey I have Notes at work as well and I have been looking for a solution to sync my ppc with it for my calendar entries. Do you know if there is a specific version of Notes that needs to be used?

Thanks.

Hey can you explain these two, perhaps provide links? I am interested in the gmail setup and I dont know what Oggsync is.

Thanks.

[Paul in Maryland]

To run the native gmail application, you need Java. The best Java for this purpose is GC14's GC Java Pack 1.2.4 for Windows Mobile (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402980). It comes bundled with the gmail app. You'll get the familiar gmail interface and features, including threaded messages, full email history, and access to contacts. But you can't download or attach files. Don't forget to go into gmail's settings and select "Log in automatically," or you'll have to key in your username and password each time you open it.

OggSync (http://oggsync.com/) is a commercial program that lets you synchronize your Google calendar(s) and your gmail contacts (including each contact's photo) [added:] with those of Windows Mobile.

I thought this doesnt work on the 6800

[Paul in Maryland]

I agree; it doesn't work on mine: When I try to use it, it hangs. I didn't list it under Favorites, but under Other. I figured sooner or later I'd get it working; now I guess i won't.

Is there any speedier alternative to ActiveSync besides removing the MicroSDHC card and placing it in a card reader?

I use nueMassStorage manager. Turns your phone into a flash drive.

My work just upgraded from Lotus Notes to Outlook so I no longer need Laplink's PDASync (ver 4.0) anymore. If I could transfer the license, I'd give you a sweet deal.

I did Beta test Commontime for months and it was pretty solid, I just happened to already have a license to PDASync, so I never upgraded from the Beta program into a full version.

no2Chems Battery Driver (for 1% battery increments)


Where do you get that? Google leads me to nothing.

[Paul in Maryland]

Here you go:
No2chem's Nue Tools (http://www.weienterprises.com/nue/)

Now it's my turn to ask, Where did you get it? No2chem's blog says it was uploaded August 8 or 9. But as of this writing, it doesn't appear in No2chem's list of software tools (http://www.weienterprises.com/nue/).

Apparently he's got a new site

i'm trying to download massstorage but get an error when I click on the link

[mpenguin14]

here is the cab that I use to get the 1% increments. This was not put together by me, I probably got it from ppcgeeks, but I am not sure of the exact post

I tried working with the cab that no2chem had available on his site but I had quite a few problems with it (using stock sprint 6.1 rom, I tried using nuePowerDirver.cab quite a few times, and usually it left me with a ppc that always reported 0% battery life). I would have filed a bug report, but I couldn't figure out how to contact him directly
