Anyone with experience using Epocrates drug database on XDA? Their web site ( www.epocrates.com ) lists PPC2000, 2002 and 2003 as compatible but the XDA or HTC is not listed in the hardware list.
Are you only using the Dashboard picture as a background on the Today screen? If you are just make your own them out of it http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/resources/downloads/smartphone/themegenerator.mspx Here's and easy theme maker just follow the instructions ....
I don't know how that /\ posted here that was supposed to be a reply on Decebel's theme post ... sorry guys ....
Faisal, if it works with the ones listed I would be confident that it will also work with xda.

Thanks. Does the processor matter? Their web site lists ARM. Does it mean that it would work with the xscale processor as well? I am assuming that xscale being a latter version would work.
I have installed programs for arm processer such as tomtom to axim which is xscale and it works fine.

Epocrates and the i-mate?
This is in continuation of my earlier post in this topic. The autoupdate feature of Epocrates Pro for Pocket PC freezes up in my PC and the drug databases are not installed.
Using imate/xdaII running "Windows Mobile Pocket PC Phone edition Version 4.20.1081 (build 13100)". Active Sync version 3.7 to connect to PC running Windows Me.
Have written to Epocrates - let us see what they say..
any ideas?
Thanks..
What are some of the applications that you use frequently and without them your life would simply stop to be...
For me the most frequent applications I can't do without are:
MS Voice Commander - Whenever on the road this one has saved my life countless times.
SBSH Pocket Weather with VGA Icons, Awesome options allow me to configure this little thing to auto-download live radar maps so I know whenever there is a storm approaching etc.
Without those above apps I would simply be lost.
What apps would you not be able to do without?
bublebreaker....
Unless there is a very recent update the last time I tried to install sbsh pocket weather on a 6.1 rom it did not install. Anyone else had that problem? I am sure however that this will be resolved shortly.

I have no problem running SBSH Pocket weather on any 6.1 rom. I have it on my Athena running the WM6.1 rom ( i believe the XIP of this rom is WM6 though) I also have it running on my Kaiser, currently running a dutty rom, but have had no other problems running several Kaiser 6.1 rom... DId have a few minor issues running SPB Weather on 6.1
I*e never used that program. Is it freeware? If so anyone have a link? I'm currently using Radar Watch 2, nothing fancy, but get\ the job done. Its free, google it.
Flexmail, the beta of version 4 is very nice
Memory-map use it at work
opera/opera mini/netfront
logmein
I am not too sure
but I think I will vote for logmein, this allows me to do remote access of my desktop so I can use all the usual softwares there.
realVGA, that's an absolute must.
I think I depend a lot on Pocket Informant 2008
Adobe PDF LE
Softmaker: Text and Plan
Weatherpanel is the next best thing as well. Where i live, the weather is very emotional....Its good have an app that is sensitive!
MemMaid worth every cent they charge for it!!
PocketXpdf http://pocketxpdf.sourceforge.net/ is the best pdf viewer/reader and is freeware
PocketMind is great for organizing notes
Egress rss reader seems to be the most customizable

YEAH !! me too
wouldnt be the same without it :8
also LogMeIn, and realvga is a must.
but number one program for me, Mobipocket Ebook reader
Must haves
PhoneWeaver -> nessecary for switchig profiles automaticaly based on calender, time, etc.
Pocket Informant -> Pocket Outlook is unusable.
SPB Mobile shell 2.0 -> Easy way to use device and access your programs.
Cyberon -> for handsfree use of your little phone.
Memmaid -> for periodicaly cleaning up Microsofts mess in your phone.

I’ve Mobile Invoice in Athena, lately discovered only CooTek Cooperation TouchPal (VGA) works wonderful well together.
Pocket Informant save me the trouble to change from task to appointment and visa versa.
MemMaid and Spb Traveler, both are super aid to me.
Is there a 3rd-party SW that can replace Office Mobile for non-touchscreen smartphones?
I am looking for a program that would fulfill at least the minimal requirements (such as basic editing, or for Excel, basic calculation) but still be compatible to MS Office on the desktop
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the prompt resonse !
Have DL the trial version but can't get it to work on the S740 (except for Excel which passes). Apparently, they support the S710 only
Anything else?
I tried on S740 and it worked well.. but the weird thing is i cant seem to install it on the storage card.
That's interesting; how did you do it? Above all, how do you handle the split screen in keyboard mode?
Which version did you use?
The version i used was 3.0010.
What do you mean by splitscreen in keyboard mode ?
When I go to keyboard mode, I get a screen that is split in two

I don't see that.. its working perfectly on my device.
May be there is a difference because my phone is the German language version

With Office Mobile (Word, Excel), you can create new docs, edit...
On pc, create empty word document, copy it to device and open with Word Mobile. Then right soft-key and chose EDIT... If you are done, right soft-key, File-Save As... Write name of doc and save. Thats all.
I know all that, korenisko; and that's not the issue.
The problem is that the functionality of Office Mobile for non-touchscreens is laughable; the most rudimentary functions, such as cut & paste are not possible.
If you want to use the device in its full potential, a replacement of Office Mobile is called for

hello,
i´m loving the hd2, but the rss hub hangs up very often, so i´m really like to solve this issue by using an differend rss reader.
so the big question is, which is the best rss reader available for the hd2?
many thanks in advance.
best regards
mario
Dear spoogedemon,
I advise you to install Egress... I tried many but liked egress as it is fully configurable...
Here is the link : http://www.garishkernels.net/egress.shtml
Kind Regards...
Spb News is good and finger-friendly.
My favorite is SBSH GoNews Touch.
GoNews is best.
Tried them all and the only one which has never hung with regular use for me is Egress. Manages podcasts well too
SpeeedReader reads google reader...excellent program!
full-feed possible?
I have been using yomomedia and been very happy. it handles podcats, vidcasts etc. And it is free. SBSH GoNews Touch looks similar to yomomedia but it's a paid application.
I have one question. i don't have a data plan so i read the rss feeds offline. sometimes i would like to see the full articles. are there any rss reader that can trick the source into downloading the full feed or downloading the full feed link in addition to the summary so that when i click the link full feed is available?
thank you very much!
Another vote for yomomedia
yomomedia is good - nice modern interface and I love the way you can configure all your feeds (inc video and audio) via a web page on your desktop (where it's much easier to configure) and the mobile version syncs with that. You can also set it to only download audio / video content when you're connected to a pc (etc. - very configurable). The initial feeds it sets you up with are a bit annoying but once you've got them deleted and your own setup it's great.
Thanks for the recommendation on Yomomedia folks, just started to look into sorting out my RSS feeds properly, and really liking YMM (the web service that syncs with the phone is nice, much prefer organising that on my PC!). As you say, shame about the pre-loaded feeds, but once deleted its excellent.
Speeed Reader asks for my google reader account credentials. I type em in like I do in my PC webbrowser but it says I can't login?
I love RSS Hub and I don't see any reason to change. It came with my HD2 and it works really good.

RSS Hub is freezing itself a lot of time for many people ...
Which version do you use ? How many feeds you have ?

due to this, i´m lokking for an alternative solution.
but rss hub is really nice indeed.
i like the keyword-option a lot.
my content:
47 feeds
4 of it getting a podcast update (last 10) everytime i connect to the pc.
it would be really nice, to get it working without the known issues.
Yomomedia is really a great application !
I advice you to try it !

Does anyone of you use your Transformer Pad for writing documents? I would do so if I would find a good office app. But unfortionally I can't find one. When I'm at home I use CloudOn, because it's nearly the same as Microsoft Office and does not mess up my documents. The problem is that I want to use my Transformer for writing when I'm in school. But I don't have a wifi connection there. Therefore I search for the ultimate Office App which works without internet and does not mess up my Office 2010 documents. Any recommendations?
Hi, have you tried Polaris Office? It does word, excel & powerpoint
here is a thread with download link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2099584
Cloud on? Is it for Linux?
-------------------------------------
Sent via something that can't finish it's sentan...
I tried it out but it does not seem to install. Can't flash the. zip. Maybe there is a problem with the other version which comes provided with CleanRom 3.1? Is there also version 4.0 out there for our Pad?
Edit: OK, same problem as with any other app i`ve tried. Polaris does not seem to stick to my custom font layout. I like to keep my text very compact which seems to be the problem. If I open up my documents with Polaris they are larger (one or more pages longer). So I need an office alternative which is as close to Microsoft Office as possible.
Cloud On is a cloud based office solution but does only work with cloud services (eg. Drop box,Google drive, box, etc.) I highly recommend it when you need to work at home
Is there an alternative to Polaris?
Ok tried to install lastest Polaris Office v4.0.3212.13, would not install. then tried v4.0.3210.07, it installed but kepts force closing.
I running Energy Rom by NRGZ28.
The only alternative I have tried is Kingsoft Office from the play store, seems pretty good and is free.
Kingsoft Office doesn't do the job for me either :/ No advanced settings for fonts or any other fonts. I also tried OfficeSuite Pro. But same result here. All of the apps are not capable to align my text correctly. I think I'll need to wait for the official Microsoft Office or the new Polaris.
Btw. I found my problem. It seems like all the apps don't support the settings of Office 2010 which I have currently in use. However, if I save my files in the older format (Word 97 - 2003) all apps seem to work just fine. But I go with Polaris for now Thanks again ;D:fingers-crossed:
EDIT: I was WRONG! All of them screw up... I just didn't notice that when I either save it in the new or the old format my text is simply wrong. My testdocument is 6 Pages long. But all of the apps align it to 7.
Any ideas on how to fix that? Maybe the different resolutions of my desktop and the tablet are the problem...
Mabye Microsoft Office on your tab
Hi, just thought of a way to maybe get MS Office running on android tab.
There are Linux Installer apps on the play store which allow you to install linux distro's on android, you could then install MS Office on linux using something like 'playonlinux' or 'wine'. Not sure if this would work but will give it a go over the weekend and let you know. If anyone has already tried this can you tell how it went.

Ok thanks, I'll skip giving that a go then. Will just have to wait for Office 15 for arm to come out, should be sometime this year.
AW: The ultimate Office App
The best office suite for Android is made by Softmaker. The word processor is called Ofice2012:textmaker and is a port from the Softmaker office for Windows and Linux. There is also an app for spreadsheets and a presentation app. In comparison to polarised office you get a well designed office suite with good import filters for MS docx or xlsx files.
For a comparison between different android office apps go to Softmaker website. We (can't paste URL)
It was well reviewed by the German Computer magazine C't.
However, I this quality comes with a price tag. You pay around €28 for the whole package. Money well invested
Cheers
