There are two apps that I have used that I must say make the GPS built into the Kaiser along with its data connectivity pretty cool. Of course, the GPS is a great tool for mapping software such as TomTom, iGuidance, Google Maps, MS Live Search, and others... but the possibilities of GPS in a connected device like the Kaiser can lead to many other great things. Two that I have found useful are Mobile Justice and 3d Tracking. Here is a quick description of what they are.
First, I have installed Mobile Justice which alerts you when a SIM card is changed and will send a text message to a number of your choosing when it is changed... for example it was stolen and a card was sent in. It can also send the current GPS location. In addition, you can send the device a text message with a keyword and request at any time, the current GPS location. You can also put a message on the device screen. I know people often cook this application into ROMs. I hope that someone does this for a future Kaiser kitchen. I learned about the new GPS features here: http://www.wmexperts.com/articles/mobile_justice_sms_your_phone.html
The other app that I have used that is kind of nifty is 3d tracking. It updates your GPS location in near real time to a website that you can use a PC to monitor. The mapping is done using Google maps. Very cool way to keep track of valuables such as your teenagers. ;-)

What other cool uses for the GPS have you found to use with your Kaiser?
I think the latest is the GPS photo functionality that was discovered to be built in. We were talking about this functionality at work but in an actual camera. Little did I know that i would discover this same function active in my TyTn II

I did see that in the forums which just made the camera in the phone that much more useful. Very useful when on hikes or vacationing to take a quick snapshot. Sure, the camera on the phone is not a replacement for a high quality digital camera, but it is convenient and in outdoor light, does a pretty good job. Combined with the GPS tagging, it is fun too. I hope we get to see even more uses for the integrated GPS.
Please explain

Can you please explain this function and how it can be used.
I am using Nokia's smart2go gps software in my Tytn-II and its working gr8, with Nokia's maploader u can download very detailed maps with very good databases particularly for middle-east.
Similar to your Mobile Justice product, here's one I saw the other day. Its kind of like LoJack for your phone:
http://www.pocketpc-live.com/pocketpc-softwares/ultimate-theft-alert-v3-for-pocket-pcs-2.html
It You can have your phone let you know where it is if its ever lost.
The company I work for does gps tracking for sports (running, skiing etc). I won't post the link, as i dont want to be seen as advertising.
But its pretty cool to be able to see how fast you ski (57.2mph is my fastest so far).
Someone sent me a note on this site that does something similar to 3d tracking. I will try it out now to see how it works.
http://gps.gpsxml.com/
Here is another tool that has a description with features similar to WIMP (Where Is My Phone) and Mobile Justice. Has anyone heard of it or tested it before? It is called Ultimate Theft Alert and has GPS as an add-on option.
http://www.pocketpc-live.com/pocketpc-softwares/ultimate-theft-alert-v3-for-pocket-pcs-2.html
I had no idea there were so many tools for GPS integrated mobile phones. Here is another freebie, this time from a well known PPC developer, VITO Technology. It is called FindMe
http://www.vitotechnology.com/en/products/findme.html
And for those with coding experience... here is an example with source code.

Basic use would be if you wanted to add pictures to a map (google earth i believe supports this) you take a picture and in geomarks your pic.
It is basically done by regedit - you can read more on this in this exact forum (should be on page one or two -- easy for us to say this while the kaiser forum is still fresh)
Have a look at this..... http://www.reperion.com/
Downloaded the software, registered an account and now my handset can be tracked by anyone with a pc.
yeah the file download was down before, working now, will try this one out

This is free for now it seems. I will try it out. Do you know if it is any different than 3d tracking? That one is free too.
Had a quick look t 3d tracking, reprion looks to do asimilar thing.
Both seem pretty cool anyway
Some more interesting GPS software: http://www.jgui.net/gps/index.html
Personal observation: There should be a standard for SMS messages whereby the GPS coordinates of the sender can be sent along with text or mms messages. This would be handy for location based services and when chatting with friends.
AND wth pda's

Somthing wrong with the GPS
Hi
There's something definitely wrong with the GPS happening from time to time.
Today, TomTom was off by nearly 1 kilometre using the internal GPS. Using BT GPS everything was fine.
After a restart: the location was spot on again.
It has happened to me 3-4 times now that the GPS is completely off the charts.
Wonder if this could be fixed with a Radio ROM update ..

Sorry to maybe possible hijack this threat a little. I am also using smart2go. But I can't download any maps to my MicroSD with the Maploader. It always complaint that there is no space in my card (which has 3.7GB free). How were you able to download the maps to your card?
Many thanks in advance!
PS. Never mind. I found out that Smart2Go probably has a problem with storage cards larger than 2GB as if I use smaller MicroSD cards, the Map Loader works fine. So the solution is to run Smart2Go with a blank 2G or smaller card, then copy the files to the 4G MicroSDHC. Then Map Loader works (with a size limit of 1.8G for map data).....
Ok so still having some problems.
As noted here

Some programs don't instal for me, WIMP did install however (haven't tested it yet) so my assumption would be some kind of security setting that is on when installing cabs, do you guys turn it off? (i remember there was a way to do this with the Hermes) or do these apps just install out of the box (per se)?
EDIT:
Looks like its some kind of problem when i transfer the file over via activesync to the card. I put it on via straight pc to another card and it installs fine.
Hi all,
Just upgraded from my O2 XDA IIi to the XDA Stellar. On my XDA IIi, I would perform a corporate install which would not install the O2 rubbish and make the device run faster. I'm not sure how I do this on the stellar.
Also, I'm looking for suggestions from gurus out here on how to ideally setup the phone so I can set it up and do a sprite backup (this used to work fine on my IIi). Any tweaks to make my stellar run faster?
I plan to install the software list as listed below, please give me your suggestions
Ilium Software eWallet v5
Ilium Software List Pro v5
SPB Pocket Plus v4.0.2
Pocket Breeze
Pocket Informant
TomTom Navigator v7
Lexisgoo Dictionary
Omega One Journal Bar (Recent reviews seem to be bad for this)
Pocket Controller v6
Opera browser
SPB GPRS Monitor
Sprite Backup (Or should I try SPB backup?)
Phone Dashboard
Resco File Explorer
Skype
SPB Mobile Shell
Pocket Mirror (Not sure if this adds any value over Active Sync)
Perhaps install some simple games like minesweeper etc.
I find it very difficult to use the case that comes supplied with the stellar, so I've decided to go in for the Crystal Case (http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/16042.htm). Any one has any experience with this case? I need all round protection for my phone, my one year old has a great fascination for phones. And try as I might her sneaky fingers do get to it sometimes and my XDA IIi has ended up on he floor (which has given it a crack or two ). Is it possible to attach this case to the belt with a belt clip?
Also plan to get the Sandisc 8GB SDHC card which should give me plenty of storage for my videos, music and TomTom European maps.
Any other accessories I should be looking at?
Sorry for the long post, just some useful tips from gurus here to get me started on setting up my stellar I love it so far
Forgot, I also plan to install Blackberry Connect (not sure if this already comes installed by default) so I can receive work emails. Has anyone tried this?
Anyone Any help will be greatly appreciated
From the O2 XDA Stella site
#
Before using the software, you must have subscribed to a BlackBerry tariff and your SIM must have been enabled for this service. If you are unsure, please contact O2 via the customer service number on your bill.
# 1. Make sure the Xda Stellar is connected to Activesync
# 2. Once Activesync has connected, click on the Explore button on your PC to open the Xda Stellar storage area
# 3. Insert the Applications CD into your PC
# 4. Locate the file BBConnect_WM6_Professional_BB_4[1].0.0.91.cab
# 5. Copy this file to the Xda Stellar storage area
# 6. Disconnect the Xda Stellar from your PC
# 7. On the Xda Stellar, tap Start > Programs > File explorer. This should take you straight into My documents. If not, please select this from My Device
# 8. Locate BBConnect_WM6_Professional_BB_4[1].0.0.91.cab and tap once to install
# 9. The file will now start to install. On successful installation, select OK
#
To use the BlackBerry client, tap Start > Settings > System > BlackBerry, and follow the on-screen instructions.

You can get the Blackberry Connect 4 update here: http://www.my-xda.com/software_updates.jsp (but it's just as easy to get it here: http://www.sems.org/entry.asp?ENTRY_ID=276 )
I'd recalled seeing various posts with people struggling with BB4 with WM6.1 so check out this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=371652 if your having problems.
Personally I gave up trying to protect my Kaiser and thankfully it has survived the many drops I've punished it with. Although the screen looks grubby, it always cleans up. It can be rather large for the pocket though in some trousers.
I personally prefer the NetFront Browser 3.5 to Opera ( which you can get here: http://www.access-company.com/products/mobile_solutions/netfrontmobile/browser/35_wm_tp.html ). I just find it more ergonomic than Opera. I'm a bit gutted that the trial ends on Aug 31st though.
I've never used Sprite backup, but you might want to check out the freely available PIMbackup 2.8 and Sashimi 7.0 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392983 which may suit your needs.
I would suggest installing the KaiserTweak and Schapp's Advanced Config ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317070 ) programs to give yourself complete control over your device.
Regards,
Rob
Thanks Rob, really helpful. I've never heard of the blackberry tariff, is this different from the normal tariffs that O2 offers?
I'll have a look at the other software you mentioned and give them a try
I've put a screen protector on my phone, so hopefully the screen should stay free of scratches. It is the sides of the phone I'm concerned about since from experience with my XDA IIi, it seems to fall on the side and the case has cracked in a couple of places (still works fine though) and it breaks my heart to think it could happen to a shiny new phone
Thanks again, really good stuff

It may be something to do with users that want blackberry style facilities through O2 rather than their own corporate server so you can safely ignore that comment?
However....I have seen Vodafone with different tariff's for Windows mobile phones and blackberry before.
Your welcome by the way.

Out of interest, how do you carry your phone? Do you use the supplied case or just carry it in your trousers? Working in IT I mostly dress up in jeans and the stellar is definitely too bulky for them Still waiting for the protective hard cover case to arrive, not sure if I've got butter fingers or I've been too finnicky about not dropping it, but I've already managed to drop it twice, luckily on carpets so far

I spoke to my systems department and they reckon that I might need to enable blackberry services on my SIM and they don't think that is available for personal users. Might need to have a chat with O2 and see if they can offer that to me
Thanks for all the help
if you have a blackbery then anyone on a contract can get the blackbery bolton, its £7.50 per month extra and provides you with unlimited usage(fair use).
the only thing is it needs to be used on a blackberry not a xda or any other phone for that matter due to the fact that blackberrys go through a different portal to get to the net or emails.
for the xda or any other type of handset exc blackberry its best to put on the unlimited web bolton for £7.50 per month this gives you unlimited web(200mb i think) only on the handset not to be used as a modem for laptop etc.the connect software will just connect through the mobileweb apn.
when a blackberry connects it goes through blackberys own apn,when you click home on a blackberry it takes you to the blackberry wap site i think.
Nice phone, huh. Step up from the Kaiser, that's for sure. Radio's a tad weaker and the phone's a little short on buttons but more importantly you need to get rid of the AT&T stock rom right quick and pimp your phone XDA style. Sure there are plenty of "cab corners" but they usually have a bunch of crap with no explanation of what the crap's supposed to do with 4shared fancy-boy GUIs or impossible CAPTCHA limited use Rapidshare links that just piss me off and make me sad. So I made my own collection on my own server with my own bandwidth with no sissy interface. Opera friendly too. So fire it up:

Thanks for your time, and humor in creating this repository!
Solid work nephew, I can digg it! Nice collection of some dope cabs to use to trick out this beyotch. One thing tho....the left/right D-pad is sweatin me, any fix fo that? Peace
Awesome thread. I just picked up my Fuze on friday, and I was hunting ALL OVER THE WEB (including XDA-devs) for some worthy links.
Got 5 new cabs right off the bat, thanks
And I agree with the post above, the D-Pad is killin me...I just avoid left/right all together now.
Thanks! ... regarding the D-pad.
I appreciate your appreciation fellas.
The one thing pissing me off the most about the Raphael is the damn D-pad left/right issue. I mean, they take away the buttons and the thing they leave they screw up. Here's an entire thread on the issue in the general section - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446246&page=2 - which for the first page is a bunch of "me toos" but on the second some guy comes up with this idea which might be viable. It may never happen but it's good we got people thinking and maybe that thread will keep going toward a solution so subscribe to it.
Here's thedocrn proposes...
I propose someone should create software to do 1 of 2 things:
1) Use the G-sensor to control scrolling. This function would be activated by touching, not pressing/clicking, the center of D-pad. Similar to how you focus the camera. This action would activate the software thus allowing scrolling in all 4 directions by tilting the device.
2) Change the input so we only have to Touch the D-pad (like how we zoom in on pictures/Opera) to move in the desired direction.
He's offering money...
What would make me happy is to be able to remap the volume buttons. Anybody?
Thanks again for checking out my site!
HEY I just found this thread for GController which I think lets you dance around as you would with the D-Pad but by tilting the phone. Good luck configuring it. It's on my site or you can grab it off the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=429569
Hey d0ugie...
Check back on that thread you posted a link to regarding navigating with the Death-pad. A guy posted a suggestion several posts below mine, and so far (crossing fingers) this technique has been FAR more accurate!
I've tried G-controller, and although it's a nice program it's not one that I'd want running all the time. You have to 'align a center point' to start off, but if you lay your phone down or click it into a holster on your belt that will activate scrolling. Would be nice if this program can be activated/deactivated by touching/releasing the center cirlce (like focusing the camera lens).
I like your website! Will you take suggestions from users to add more cab files there?
good stuff, thanks for the cabs

Ctrl key
I see that putty.exe is in the list of Fuze software.
I may be dense, but I can't figure out how to get a CTRL or ESC keypress out of the thing.
It's nigh impossible for me to do anything intelligent without vi or nano.
Are there any cabs in that list that will remap (temporarily or permananatly) the OK and windows keys to get me a CTRL and ESC?
re: putty
I know it sucks, all I use it for is tailing my apache access.logs. I tried googling for some alternative (like backspace is ^H) but I realized those keys involved CTRL themselves. So I think we may be SOL.
Awesome page! Thanks!
awesome work
you just made my day. I figured out most of the information then I came across your thread. You could have saved me more time! But thanks buddy. Great job.
I'm gong to share my favorite applications/games for the Kaiser. Some tips may be thrown in as well!
Applications:
Memory Map weather radar
Just what it says, fast loading animated weather radar. With zoom support and location settings.
BTSpammer
This little program will send out vcards, images, or text messages to any device in range. It is VERY useful for walking around the mall to send bogus messages such as: Welcome to our store! Please note that while in our store it is policy to record phone calls, sms messages, and contact lists while you are on our property to help deter theft. If you do not agree with this policy please see a store manager or leave at once. Thank you for your compliance, store management.
WiFiFofum
Best damn ppc wardriving tool out there! Honestly, the only way my laptop could beat this app is to have a external GPS unit. I keep it on while I'm in the car to find exciting locations around the city. I recommend exporting to memory card in a folder than merging files as you go along. upload the results to a wardriving map so others can benefit on your findings.
Tilt keyboard fix
Does what it says. Fixes hardware keyboard assignments for custom roms. No more will I have to guess where ! is at
Resco Keyboard
I love this keyboard! I can use it with my fingers if need be. My only gripe is that the . @ and other common punctuation marks are in the number page. It drives me crazy to switch between numbers and letters so I installed a new skin in the included skin downloader.
Resco File Explorer
This comes in major use on a day to day basis for me. It can browse network shares, do FTP, and modify my registry. Not only does it have a touch friendly interface option, I find it much more useful than touch commander for most tasks. Built in search is fast and you can populate the window with results for mass selecting and modifying.
Sprite Backup
I use this backup program (from the makers of norton ghost) between ROM upgrades. It is so good that if you don't configure your restore properly you run the risk of reverting changes made in that new rom release to the one you upgraded from. Nothing outside ROM is safe from this monster, I have had no issues with multiple backups and restores
Safemode
There is a program for ppc called safemode. What is does it lets you go into a limited shell (accessible from splash screen) to remove applications, browse folders, modify the registry, and some more. Why run the risk of having to hard reset when you can just remove that today plugin that's making it fail I hate having to reinstall everything over again, now you don't have to.
Magi Call 2
I use this program a lot more than I will ever know since it runs in the background with a nice GUI for configuring it. Don't want someone calling you? Block em! Want to create custom rules for sms and phone numbers? MagiCall it! I found out about this little program when a ex girlfriend would not leave me alone. Now I have all sorts of telemarketers and spam blocked. Owning a Kaiser for any reason would be the addition of this program! Every phone should have it! (might want to try callfirewall. free and it is also a nice program fro here at XDA!).
Opera Mini
Sure Opera mobile and skyfire is great for media rich web surfing but I hate waiting for pages to load. If I need flash, I'll start up my Nokia N810 or netbook. Very very unbelievably fast while still retaining my loved feature of double click zooming. Comes with a option to sync with your desktop version of Opera. Have not tried that out yet.

I don't know how many times I have lost my phone in my house and this free program has saved me! I just send a sms to my phone via e-mail and the alarm will go off giving me a beacon to save the Kaiser. It's also good for remote tracking if your phone gets stolen and other features but I have not tried these yet since my phone has not been stolen.
S2U2 (slide to unlock 2)
I don't use the unlock function very much like other people do (you know, to check the time, I wear a solar powered atomic watch), instead I love the slide to answer function. I no longer fear answering my phone my accident because it is in my holster or pocket. Something that looks cool and is functional.
Newsflash RSS reader
Siimply the best RSS and podcast reader on the planet for my uses. Sure, the included RSS reader is fine and all but I listen to a lot of RSS based podcasts. This will also work for video podcasts. How it works is it saves the mp3s and mp4s (or any other supported format) to a folder you setup in the settings and let it rip! I run it in the background at startup and use manila's media page to listen/watch my feeds. This functionality should of been made in the phone.
To manage all of these applications I simply turn on "view hidden files and folders" and go to my device on my PC, then in the "windows/start menu/programs" folder I categorize all my apps into folders. This way, when I go into programs, i don't have to search forever to find a program. TIP! Make a favorite in windows explorer of the start menu folder. Having to go into windows then your start menu folder takes forever for the file list in /windows to load. You will have one click access to where you want to go.
I may of missed some but check out my application install list!

It does not go slow with so many apps as others believe. After all, what is installed doesn't slow anything down, it's what's running that does.
Thanks, I will take a look at your list and try a few what's new for me.

WiFiFofum
Best damn ppc wardriving tool out there! Honestly, the only way my laptop could beat this app is to have a external GPS unit. I keep it on while I'm in the car to find exciting locations around the city. I recommend exporting to memory card in a folder than merging files as you go along. upload the results to a wardriving map so others can benefit on your findings.

I guess you mean "Navizon" not WiFiFoFum or not?
I agree with a couple of those.
I've found that I'm increasingly dependant on Kinoma for news and music. If you haven't tried it out, look it up on Google. They have a free version which allows you to listen to shoutcast, youtube videos, news broadcasts and such, The $30 version allows you to listen to 1,000s of live broadcast radio stations and watch live tv streams and more. Most stations on shoutcast stream at 96-128kbps and they connect and stream very well over 3G / HSDPA
Also, WMWiFiRouter is essential for me so I can share my connection with my laptop, other PDAs, and other people that are around me.
I use Barcorama when I'm shopping sometimes to look up the best prices, pretty quick usually.
GRemote lets me control my laptop when I hook it up to my big screen in my bedroom without having to have a gigantic wireless keyboard.
Google maps and Live Search are also essential, each having their distinct advantages (Street View and routes in Gmaps and speech recognition and gas prices in Live Search) Both use GPS very quickly.
QuickGPS updater. Simple. Get it.
MyMobiler... omg.. that app is such a lifesaver. I have a lot of devices and the last thing I need to do is have my phone in the middle of my desktop. I can plug it into the USB port and put it behind my laptop and forget about the actual device. Paired with my BT headset, I can do everything without losing the multitasking I so love.
RSS Hub is a great one too. My wife loves it too because I'm spending as much time on blogs at home anymore.
SKYFIRE and OPERA 9.5 Best mobile browsers out there. I have used Opera Mini, but I found it to be a bit quirky and I don't really have an issue with speed since my network in this area is typically about 1MB down and 500k up.
TOMTOM7 ... 'nuff said. Best nav out there. Now with speed notifications and HOV lanes
Remote Desktop. Great tool for when I'm not at my PC to do simple tasks, also good for managing my TED install so I can make sure I get all my tv shows
Ah, and Fring. Which leads me to ask, is there a plugin for fring, or an app for winmo that does facebook chat?
great apps
i already had some of them. I tried resco keyboard and im practically hooked now.
^^^Gremote is pretty amazing too!
imho newest spb keyboard (4.1.0) is waaaaaaaaaay better than resco's.
don't want to hijack thread, but I also luv: coreplayer, s2v, nebopad and total commander
most of them are quite well known and nebopad is the BEST notepad app on ppc.
thank You for Your attention. goodbye..

Surely not better than Phatnotes?
Resco Explorer 2008
Total Commander (Always useful for copying over ROM files)
Resco Registry Editor
CorePlayer (i.m.o best video player)
PocketPlayer (i.m.o best audio player also shoutcast)
WVD (Handy for downloading the video as streaming can sometimes be a nightmare)
Opera Mini as only slow network speed
Opera v9.5
Skyfire
SU2U
SKTools (Handy for sorting out startup items and cleaning)
Mundu IM
Calendar Touch (Transfer from smartphone so wanted to keep same software)
Mobiion MagiCall
pTravelAlarm (Wouldn't get up in the morning without it)
SmartGear MAME
nodata (Piece of mind over data charges)
MochaVNC (Keeps me in contact with home when out and about)
WiFiFoFum (Keeps data charges down )
MyMobiler (Very handy for screenshots)
Spb Backup (All i can say is where would i be without it)
PIM Backup
SecilWeather (Like more info than M2D gives me)

Could someone explain to me what it is that WiFiFoFum does (other than have a great name)? When I turn on Wifi, my phone automatically scans for Wifi networks as it is, so what is the difference with WiFiFoFum?
WiFiFoFum!!!!

WiFiFoFum(agreed, a great name) always you to scan all Wireless Access Points broadcasted, including certain vitals as to their SSID's, WEP enabled or not, and other techie goodies. Plus, you can enable GPS and create an actual map of WiFi Hotspots for you and your friends. It also has a radar feature that shows WAPs in reference to you (I think it's just more for fun than practicality).
Also, I have never been able to get Barcorama to work on my phone. I have it installed with the netcf, but when i load the program and press the camera button, the whole thing craps out. even when i take a picture seperately and try to open it with barcorama it craps out. very frustrating cause it looks like it would be fun.
Sounds interesting - I'll give it a try. Thanks

For Facebook chat you might want to look over at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455263 Not tested myself, but know of it!
A useful post - seen some apps I didn't know about so will take a look. Will add my list another time when I'm not half asleep!

Go to the settings for barcorama and check Live Scanning and Use Autofocus. Eliminates opening the camera and the whole clicking the shutter - i.e. inducing shaking. Just hold it over the barcode and it automatically detects it. Sweet program.

Hi,
No need to upload them again, there are many times on the the web or on this board, just need to search a little!

Does anyone have a working version of QuickGPS I can grab please? I tried the one in the Polaris thread but that wont install on my Kaiser...
Thanks
SPB Mobile Shell - Still the best and easiest to navigate today replacement
SPB Phone Suite - The ability to have the phone switch on and off automatically at set times is a godsend. I only have to charge every 5 days or so!

Check to see what you have your image size set to. It doesn't work in 3MP mode. I just installed it due to this thread and it's pretty awesome.
Thanks guys!
I love TinyTwitter, Coreplayer, Pocket Alarm MP3, TomTom 7, Google Maps, Windows Live Search, VITO Zoomboard, Skyfire, 1Calc, Palringo, Power SMS, Resco File Explorer, Resco Photo Viewer Pro, My Moblier, Resco Radio, Pandora, Mobipocket, Advanced Config, ThrottleLock, Pocket RAR, Pocket Goo (really fun app), Slydial (call voice mail directly), Microsoft Tag (I hope this catches on), VsPainter, Weather Watcher, Web Camera Plus.
I have a website that uses AppCache and I would like to know if the IE engine in Windows Phone 8/8.1 supports AppCache/Local Storage/IndexedDB.
It's more of a scripting IDE than a web page and if it works correctly it will store about 5 megs of web files into an AppCache so it could work offline. You would probably need to delete/clean internet files if you want to get rid of that.
The web page is at :
http://www.obeliskos.com/TridentSandbox
At the top left (if it works correctly) you will see status for LS (local storage), IDB (indexedDB), and AC (AppCache) ... the appcache should show downloading and then idle.
Can someone test and let me know what the status information of LS/IDB/AC are.... or if you use it, how well it works? There's a samples browser button (second from right under help) if it lets you load all the samples.
Thanks
LS/IDB/AC all work great! WP8, IE10. Haven't had a chance to really play with it yet, but you will probably want to make it more mobile-friendly. We don't have meta-keys on the phone.
hah, your all over this forum and once again with good info, thanks!
Yea I was thinking of using it just as a viewer to run prg files created on tablet/desktop and saved to skydrive. I think xbox one IE also fully supports and that has skydrive and possibly keyboard/mouse as well. I guess it might be good cross-platform for simple user programs.
Looks like I have a reason to upgrade my phone sometime soon now
