More to Opera on Palm OS and X-Mas savings

Hi,

today I have some more things about making Opera Mini the default browser on your Palm, Treo or Centro.

First, if you use the latest Opera Mini version (4.2) you may encounter several locks from time to time. For example it likes to lock up when you press the keyboard during loading. Or it just locks up after it loads the first KByte.

Now I have probably a solution for you: Opera Mini 4.1. I’ve got it from a friend and before I used version 4.2 (the final of course) and had a lot of lock ups. With 4.1 everything is fine. Read the rest of this post »

OperaFrontEnd – Integrates Opera Mini better into the PalmOS

You’re using Opera Mini on your Palm OS device? You like the small data footprint and the mobile view which it offers? You were alway angry about the inability to use it as default browser and have it opened right from your email application? You speak more than just English and were never able to add accented letters? You really missed the clipboard? Well, now here might be your help:

Using a Dual-SIM adapter in my Palm Centro

I’m using a Dual-Sim solution since some time. As I had a Treo 680 before, I used an adapter without cutting which fits very tight beneath the battery. My new Centro doesn’t has the space for this adapter therefore I looked for something new and found (after reading the comments in this German thread) this adapter where you have to cut the SIM cards to get them fit. But before I come with pictures and some words about the adding first something why I picked up a Centro as my new device.

1Silde4U (the free Nexave-Keyguard) and other updates

WintecTool helps to analyse your GPS-Track log

Hi,

I hope you are going well.

The weather here in Germany is kind of weird for November I guess. St. Martin’s day is arrived and the “hand lantern”-season has come. Since, I have 2 small kids, every year there is an evening in November when you have to go out with your self-made lantern regardless of rain, cold or snow. And usually it was rainy and cold. This year it might be some rain (or maybe not if we are lucky) but for sure it is quite warm. Above 12°C, I would say: too warm for the season.

In the meantime I prepared several updates. There is a new version of the 1slide4u keyguard (which is still called Nexave), a great coming update for the WintecTool and some nice update for 2cool4u on its way. Read more about below…

Baby Monitor (Babyphone) for Palm OS

Hi,

I decided to drop my never finished Babyphone application into the public domain. The goal was to have a software which call a given number whenever the sound level exceed a given level. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to handle the “receiver is busy” condition, means when use your phone for calling during the monitoring you might miss the alert. If this isn’t a problem for you, try it out and leave a comment.

Make your mobile live even more productive…

…with 2PlayMe.

2PlayMe is a leading “cron”-like application for PalmOS, featuring several alarm clock options (MP3, MIDI, SNOOZE, FADE IN, SUN RAISE SIMULATION, …), switches for almost every system feature (PHONE, BT, WIFI, DEFAULT CONNECTION, KEYGUARD, KEYLIGHT, SECURITY, …), specials (WAKE ON LAN, BRIGHTNESS, SMS, BATTERY CHECK, …) and shortcuts to other helper applications (HOTSYNC, ATOMIC TIME SYNC, MACROS, …)

2PlayMe was recently updated to 4.0 and comes now with a week selector, making alarm definitions even more flexible. Now you can define the actions based on your regularly shift work, or you can disable the usual weekday wake-up alarm during your holiday times.

Have a look on an example use pattern for 2PlayMe on your Treo or Centro smartphone device:

  • 06:00 Backlight 0%
  • 06:05 BT On
  • 06:10 Default Connection to “Internet Over BT”
  • 06:15 Time Sync
  • 06:20 Sync Emails (external email application needs to be configured)
  • 06:25 Sync Weather (external weather application needs to be configured)
  • 06:30 Hotsync
  • 06:45 BT Off
  • 06:50 Brightness 25%
  • 06:55 Phone On
  • 07:00 Wakeup with your favorite playlist and Pocket Tunes
  • 08:00 Default Connection to “Wireless GSM/GPRS”
  • 23:00 Phone Off

More things are possible, just play around with it and use your imagination. Have in mind that with version 4.0 you even could switch on a certain SIM card if you have one of the existing analog DUAL SIM adapter installed.

2PlayMe and all my other applications are currently on sale at www.pdassi.de. Don’t forget to check it out, the sale lasts one week and you can save 20% on each of my tools.

“2PlayMe, let your phone work while you sleep”,

Simyo und HTTP: HEAD

24. Sep 2008 12:12
Für’s Archiv: ein HTTP: HEAD Kommando verhält sich im bei GPRS über Simyo anders als über T-Mobile oder DSL. Konkret, es kommt keine Antwort auf ein HTTP: HEAD zurück. Aufgefallen ist es mir im FetchMap Projekt von Matthias Prinke.

TogglePrivate.prc / Nexave.prc 1.4b

TogglePrivate is a small tool for Palm OS to toggle the private state of database entries. Mostly useful with PIM databases. Another feature is the multiple database send feature. TogglePrivate remembers the selected databases and can send them to your second device with much less taps than you would need with a normal file browser tool. check it out, it’s free.

Nexave.prc was recently update to 1.4b. 1.4a fixed a bug which allowed phone on/off even with active keyguard. 1.4b now fixes the “auto-off doesn’t work”-bug with active keyguard.
