In that case, make sure to unplug the phone - or it will switch to GPRS/EDGE - so that the synchronization operates over the air). |

| + | ====== Changing location of "My Documents" ====== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The best known solution consists in modifying the appropriate entry in the device's registry. However, this may be risky... A no-risk alternative consists in creating a link to another location. | ||
| + | |||
| + | - Create a subfolder called "My Documents" in your Storage Card folder. | ||
| + | - Copy the contents of \My Documents to \Carte de stockage\My Documents | ||
| + | - Delete \My Documents | ||
| + | - Open a text editor and paste the following text into a new document: 33#"\Carte de stockage\My Documents" | ||
| + | - Save this as "My Documents.lnk" | ||
| + | - Copy this to the root of your WM6 device | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Problem**: :-( ActiveSync keeps on synchronizing with a folder on the device , not on the storage card. The link works though. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ====== Nice applications ====== | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Free internet browser: [[http://www.operamini.com/download/|Opera Mini]] | ||
| + | *[[http://www.mymobiler.com|My Mobiler]]: remote control your windows mobile from your PC, through an ActiveSync. Works great, as slow on the device :) It's also possible to take screen shots or videos of the device with that tool. (Freeware) | ||
| + | *[[http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm|Total Commander]]: a better file browser/editor than the standard one. Though I'm not a fan of its layer, it's currently the best solution I know of to edit read-only files, system files or any other "strange" operation. (Freeware) | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ====== Links ====== | ||
| + | * [[http://www.htcwiki.com/|HTC Wiki]]. In particular, there's a thread on how to hack the [[http://www.htcwiki.com/thread/1012509/Touch+Flo+Cube+-+Can+it+be+customized+with+different+applications.?t=anon|Touch Flo]]. I haven't tried it yet though. | ||
