I recently purchased a dell axim x51v and I love it, I have a few questions about WM5 however. First, i have noticed that it is possible to display a battery meter, memory usage, and brightness on the today screen. How would i go about doing that? Second, can anyone please give me some recommendations for wifi scanners? I have been told that there are network scanners (once connected to the network) which will allow you to view winodws shares. I have already installed WiFiFoFum and it is a great piece of software. I tried retinawifi scanner but it refuses to work on windows mobile 5. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance, Ilya.

what i mean is what are some free today screen plugins which would display my memory usage, batery, etc.

You should have received a CD rom with youe Axim that contains a few downloadable programs... one of them displays the battery life on your today screen, but I no longer have it loaded to my X51v, so I can't remember which one it was... There are MANY software programs that have this feature... Use the search bar near the top right hand corner of Aximsite's frontpage and insert key words like battery display and read the links... you'll find people's opinions of various programs that include those features...

...and welcome to Aximsite!

Learn as much as you can. Do what you think is right. Don't fear losing. When down, pick yourself right back up. Do not give up. Do not give in. Keep going forward. If you can do all of that and like what you see in the mirror, you are where you want to be... and ahead of most.

   

Switcher Bar?

Dave

VBAR and Magic button are both free. Ilauncher and pocket + are comercial but very good.

and there are loads of others as well

to aximsite by the way

This week I have been mostly listening to..... Short cummings audio

no switcher bar is to switch applications, im looking for today screen plugins. but thanks

Your question was:

Switcher Bar does that! It displays battery meter, memory usage and brightness all on the Today screen, so isn't that a fair answer to your question?

Dave

No it doesn't!
so it isn't

Today warrior is another one that does. not as pretty but shows a lot of info

     

I'm afraid it does!

Dave

no switched bar lets you GO there but you have to click on text to go there, i mean like a large picture of a batter, folder, memory chip thing, with numbers beneath telling me how much of which i have left to put it bluntly. sort of like battery pack ite.

Ilya you are correct.

Dav, it may give a link to power settings but it doesn't give a power meter on the front screen as requested, and doesn't have a memory meter.

Even if Switcherbar does, it does everything so poorly why would you want to use it at all? I would caution you that if you decide to monitor your battery be prepared to have problems. Some have done it successfully but others (me) have had problems with displaying the battery. it causes slowdowns, battery drains, etc. Just be aware of it and remember to disabe it first if you see problems.
