I am making a story about the issues with UIQ, the future of UIQ now it is in the hands of Sony Ericsson and some handy tips and tricks to use UIQ devices more easily than before. Furthermore I will compare them all in a sort story.....

- Do you have some tips and tricks for UIQ devices?
- Do you have some programs you would prefer to use on the devices?

Give me any feedback that I should discuss about those UIQ devices and help other people.

Tips:
Use task manager or swiss manager or swiss manager pro to manage phone available RAM.
Use M3 application to encode video files (in my case 90% DVD movies) and watch them on your UIQ3 device. You will love your phone much more.

phone applications:
Document to go (your phone is ready for serious work)

HI!

I would like to ask you what is the difference between quick office and document to go application for UIQ 3.0 if there is any? I had some problems viewing larger PDF files using the preinstalled applications.. Does it get any better using docs to go? Do you know any good site for M600i ready music videos or just music videos ready for quick encoding with m3 or super?

A small 'taskbar' would greatly help navigating through menu's

An option to connect with a certain account (now you've to open browser to setup a connection [wifi/gprs/etc.] but you can't manualy activate a connection)

missing the option to use the video-call camera to take pictures (can't chose which camera to use)

an option to creat folders within the sms inbox (to sort things out) [got like +1000 sms]

automatic switch to regular call when there's no 3G (now you've to comfirm manualy)

Not new options! But current add-on programs that are available and people can use. It is not that I mention new options, but programs that are available currently.

SyncMyPortable works nicely with the UIQ3 devices. It's a program that allows you to synchronize the music (and/or videos) that you have stored within iTunes playlists (on your PC) with any portable audio devices that can be connected up as a Mass Storage Device. It has full playlist creation and album artwork capabilities.

Also, please see the following topic for SyncMyPortable use with the newer SE UIQ3 devices:

1. Jabp 2.0 installed; to manage my bank accounts, pretty ok it can track your money went (or came from) if you set up the categories properly

2. Got Swiss Man Pro to manage the ram issue till the next firmware is out but sometimes can be a slight "pain" in the you know wat;

3. Installed Oxygen Phone manager (still in the trial period) makes the cradle comes in handy and sure looks neat on my office table. Coupled with my bluespoon headset, its totally cool, can take calls, send sms and manage the phone while its sitting pretty on the cradle

Still searching for a good diary software and have not decided on Doc 2 go or quick office for my serious office work files

Wow! That list has to contain just about every single program that's available for UIQ3 right now. Do you really have all of them installed in your phone? If so, I'm very impressed.

@MR

Im not entirely sure what kind of info your after but this is what I have to quickly say about UIQ and its apps.

- Video trick, having a paused video running in the background makes your menu very fast becuase it keeps the video processor running.

- Use Task Manager or Swiss Manager to manage memory. At the moment the phone doesn't manage it well by itself.

- M3 for video as Koto has said, produces a great output.

- Opera Mini gives a better web experience IMO than the built in Opera at the moment. Don't forget that UIQ phones tend to have bigger screens, java apps also support the touchscreen and some have QWERTY. So even though opera mini works on all phones, the UIQ3 hardware gives a better experience.

- For games, lately theres been a lot of 'classic' games that have been ported. Lemmings, Duke3d, Doom and Picodrive (megadrive emulator). My favourite is Lemmings which before was difficult with a joystick.

- UIQ3 supports OCR (optical character recognition) so apps like the business Card reader and PhotoWord (take a pic of a word and it translates it for you). I've not seen these features in other phones.

- For users of Notes in normal SE phones, theres StickIt which has the ability to stick a note on standby.

Anyone that intends to buy this phone needs to be aware that using the touchscreen is the quickest and easiest way to get around but requires two hands. Many have said they use the thumbs which is even easier, including me.

Currently, memory management is so some apps like TomTom require other apps be shut down first.

Also, java doesnt support 3d java apps.

Ares has mentioned all the other good apps, tomtom, advance call manager, Projekt, etc etc.

Hope that helps.

How much change do you see happening at UIQ3 in the future since SE have it in their hands now. Its a good move if they want to be a big player.

Ooh. Drama.


I'm using a dictionary & thesaurus (Mobile systems), the open- office package, coreplayer, mobileftpd, "image- converter" (the example- program from the sdk ), and a couple of games. And that (with a bluetooth keyboard) basically lets me do most things on the phone that I need, before I'm setting documents in quark, or something like that.

Um, and tips with uiq3... I don't know. It's an actual OS, so it has a different scope than a usual mobile phone. For good or bad. Huge potential, but so far not as enthusiastic support for uiq as other platforms that have no ambition at all. So the tips for a customer to get the most out of it would be to know what they're going to use the device for on beforehand (instead of being a lazy consumer).

Hello

It would be great to have following apps made for UIQ3 as well:

- irRemote
- zipman
- spycall or smart recorder for incoming/outgoing calls
