NX73/80 Tips & Tricks and Plaese leave the PHD's @ home1

[stronggeek]

Hi, I did a search to see if anyone had actually started a thread like this yet, didn't see one and I really feel that these 2 units are unique enough to have their own "tips and tricks" thread and thought this could possibly save new owners of the NX73 and NX80 some search time and possibly some greief.

I'm looking to gather up all kinds of information such as "tips and tricks", undoucumented easter eggs and or little well known facts they may even be in the "FM", but not commonly known and oh yeah, links to such will do also.

Everyone, please leave the PHDs(Player Hatin Degrees) at home.

My first tip is that myself and a few my friends upgraded to the nx80 from the nx70 and had absolutely no problem syncing the nx80 (after charging) to the previous desktop.

I never took my inst cd out, so I might be missing some neat progams.

A few palm apps were not compatible so I jsut deleted them, but other than no syncing comflicts!

Something that I've got to get use to is seeing larger ram backups to the cf and ms.

I know, now I'm backing up things that use to reside in flash as well as previous ram content, but nevertheless strange to see 13 -14 mb backups compiling up with Backupman.

"Horozontal Swipe" that allows you to cycle through all vg skins!

Okay, if you don't about, this is how you do it.

*All swipes take place accross the status bar

A swipe from right to left (at the battery or just about anywhere to the right of it to the home icon) cycles the vg skins backwards.

And a swipe to from left to right (from home to battery or anywhere to the right of it) cylcles the vg skins forward.

*All swipes take place accross the status bar

No removing cards, No setting up. No resets. Just simply launch the app.

With Mini's patch we now have it all and a lot smoother and
working off my 1gb viking cf baby!

This is definitely something else my old nx70 could not do and as of now the patch won't work with the nx70.

So for me, the extended battery life, better screen, speed increase and now full multimedia capabilites with the cf card truly makes it a major upgrade!

And being the multimedia geeks that we are, how can Mini's feat not make the NX80 a little more desirable... come on...just a little.

And I will watch Two Towers from my pda instead of my notebook on my next flight. :)

[Dags]

If you download an NX skin or status bar skin that was made for the NX60 or NX70 series, all you have to do is change the 'version id' to 120 using filez and save back to RAM. A quick reset and Bob's yer uncle!

Enjoy! :D

I'm leery of using the CF slot for memory for a few reasons: 1, I have fears of stability with the patches, but it sounds like things are going well for people.

2, and most of all, how are you doing with keeping the CF slot open? Do you carry the card in the slot all the time, and if so are you worried about it getting broken, dust getting in, etc. Or do you just put in the card on a long trip when you want to watch movies? I just don't see myself day-to-day keeping the CF card in the slot, and taking it in and out all the time would ruin whatever convenience I gained from it. I think I'm going to have to go with MSPro for my memory needs. J&R has a pretty good deal on the 512MB Lexar ($229). I would love to have more memory for less money, but Sony has succeeded in making it impractical.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

Hi kp*, I never had much of a problem with the eruware drivers nor these patches and I what's even sweeter is I run the patches off the cf appr 450 in ram.

Also I backup my ms and cf evry other day.

2, and most of all, how are you doing with keeping the CF slot open? Do you carry the card in the slot all the time, and if so are you worried about it getting broken, dust getting in, etc.

Yes I do leave it open, yes I do wish it was fully retractable and honestly this, the stylus and now the placement of the power button(you guys mentioned the power button cradle deal and that's horrible! Thank god I don't need to use it that way very often.) are the only things I don't care for

Or do you just put in the card on a long trip when you want to watch movies? I just don't see myself day-to-day keeping the CF card in the slot, and taking it in and out all the time would ruin whatever convenience I gained from it.

I risk it, though I do use a litlle more care and I'm probaly using the kind of care I should have used whether it a hinged cf slot or not! :)

I bought a sony 512mb when they first came ot from target=_blank>www.bhphotovideo.com (http://www.bhphotovideo.com)

At a great price back then and great service to boot!

Any thoughts/suggestions?

I use both ms pro and cf extensively and while I realize there's a risk involved leaving the cf open, for me, the risk is worth the convenience.

kp*, your review when you after ran to cc to purchase your 80 was very informative and never bias.

I actually gleeaned quite a bit from the reviews of all the posters, but yours was the first and extremely informative, and so I thank You.

As ststed in a another post "Great find" and thanks for posting here.

Thanks for your advice, Stronggeek. I think I will be getting the MSPro for now. Thanks for suggesting B&H (had never considered photo shops when looking for memory before), but right now it looks like J&R has it $10 cheaper, maybe I'll make my way down there tonight.

I may still consider CF memory in the future, but I'd really prefer to keep my additional memory on the stick in the body of the Clie, and use the CF for wireless and pop in the card when I need it (right now I carry a Wifi card and BT MS with me -- I really wish they'd make a combined wireless card!). That way I can have the extra memory all the time, and keep the slim form factor until those moments when I need wireless.

He did a great job though!

[stronggeek]

Now, I don't recall being able to do this on the nx70 but on the nx80 you can simply make a diagonal swipe to the right from the status bar to half way up the graffiti area to invoke "command".

You can actally end your swipe anywhere from halway up the graffiti to anywhere on the display as long as it's a diagonal stroke.

This also works in full screen mode!

FYI - the Silk Plug-in swipes are conveniently illustrated and explained in the Silk Plug-In Help on my NX80V. (Select Silk Plug-In icon in Status Bar, then select "i" in upper right window corner to get Silk Plug-In Help.)
(*) Switch to the previously used Silk Plug-In :
Drag the stylus from status bar to the upper left.
(*) Switch to the default Silk Plug-In for character entry :
Drag the stylus from the left of the status bar, to the top center of the silkscreen area, and then to the right of the status bar.
(*) Switch to the Silk Plug-In next in the list :
Drag the stylus on the status bar from left to right.
(*) Switch to the Silk Plug-In previous in the list :
Drag the stylus on the status bar from right to left.

Also, the Keyboard Help contains lots of useful information. (Ctrl+K for Keyboard Help) And don't forget about the built-in Graffiti 2 Help and Decuma Help. (Default for dragging stylus from text entry area to top of screen - Decuma Help also available from "i" at top right of Decuma silk screen.)

[markgm]

nevermind, it wasn't described well, the post above solved that.

Thanks though!

I just found that diagonal stroke in full screen mode worked for my NX70V! :eek: I always assumed that you'd need to have the VG visible to switch between different input VG. Great find Paul! :)

As for our lovely guest's comments, really no comment. LOL

[ricleo]

Here's a tip to use the nx80 as a flash/torchlight in closed mode without opening the clamshell in :)

Step 1 - Power up the clie iusing the capture button.
Step 2 - Scroll down the jog dial 4 times.
Step 3 - click on the jog dial. Ta dah! flash light in the dark for use in cinemas!

Heez...this is just for fun... The nx in tablet mode with screen on full brightness may make a more convenient torch.

Thanks Eddy, wish I had used it with the nx70 also! It's probably documented somewhere as someone is likely to point out. But if that's the case, I wish they would share the tip sooner! Because I still haven't open my manual!

As for our lovely guest's comments, really no comment. LOL

I know. What is up with that? :)

I will probably get flamed for asking "what was up with that", but let them bring it!

Richard, good one man!

Fun, but could be useful, depends on the situation. :)

[Eddy]

Richard! another interesting find, now your NX80 also is pre-built with an internal Flash light, I'd find that quite convient like Stronggeek was mentioning. You can go camping with that thing, well, next thing you might need is the GPRS to locate yourself in the woods. ha ha LOL :D

[druss]

Stronggeek, may I ask how do you get the movie on the cf card, I have tried to no success, and would love a how to on this, thanks Dr

[stronggeek]

Hi Druss, if you're reffering to how I actually install/put the movies on the cf, then I can tell you I do 2 ways depending on what I'm using.

From the pc I use a cf reader http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00006B1I7/qid=1058656365/sr=1-4/ref=pd_sbs_e_1/002-6022990-4080827?v=glance&s=electronics

AND

From my notebook I use a PC Card CompactFlash Adapter
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00000J3SA/ref=pd_sim_electronics/002-6022990-4080827?v=glance&s=electronics

As this what you were asking?

Thanks for posting that. I knew it was possible, but hadn't thought of how easy it would be to keep track of the clicks. I'm going to use that. I agree that the screen might be brighter, though:D. I was using it today in a dimly lit but not dark room, and every time I turned it on to take a note, I felt like I must be totally blinding everyone sitting behind me -- and that of course was on the dimmest setting! Eventually I just turned off the backlight so it wouldn't be a distraction.

[druss]

Hi stronggeek, I wondered how do you download the movies for your clie? I can get it on the cf but how or where do you get the movies, and is it possible to put a movie on my clie with one of my dvds? like I just bought Basic, is there a way to download off of that? thanks Dr

[ricleo]

HAha, yeah.. even the dimmest setting is too bright for a dark room... any apps to lover the backlight to below current dimmest levels? Think not... But the good thing about the NX80 screen is that they work beautifully under sunlight! Wonderful colour and contrast even when under bright conditions.

[ricleo]

Another Tip for the NX80.. haha..real simple one.. leave the ND Filter covered all the time to act as a dust protector for the camera lens. But remember to switch it back when you wanna take a photo. :)

[Eddy]

dang, I want that flash light! :D

[ricleo]

Originally posted by Eddy

Haha eddy, get a NX80 then!

[druss]

Eddy isnt that a pic of the nx73? is that what you have? dr

[Eddy]

yeah, it's an NX73, desprite the fact that I'm actually using my NX70 GunMetal Edition. (I'm obsessed with black). :D
By the way, the Landscape NetFront is just a fake. ;)

& Richard, what's with the Bluetooth light again (avatar)? 1st the Flash being a torch light then now the BT light? LOL :D

[ricleo]

HAha....I like blue very much, and I think that this avatar looks better than that NX80 one...Maybe there will be a way for me to change the LED in the NX80 flashlight to a blue LED like those people do in handphone LEd modifications :) With a blue light, i can pretend I have Bluetooth on my NX80, haha...

[kp*]

In regards to the flashlight, this morning I found myself fumbling around in a dark lighting booth looking for the lightswitch. I turned on my small LED keychain light that I wear around my neck, and it wasn't as bright as it usually is -- I had to hold it right up against the walls to see anything. So I decided to try the Clie flashlight trick. Wow! It pretty much lit up the whole room! I think from now on, I'm going to take out the Clie first. Now if only it were as easy to hold in my teeth while climbing a ladder... no, I don't think I want to try that:D.

[Eddy]

:D

[druss]

can we use the ms bluetooth stick on the NX80? and i am still trying to figure out what is the difference between the two, dr

[ricleo]

I've heard many people say they can't get their BT MS to work with the NX80, but I have no personal experience with BT, so I have no idea :p
Anyway, my NX80 picture reviews thread has been updated with a review on the new leather case I bought. Do take a look :)

I always thought that wondersilk was a cool app, but the tappad like buttons on some of the associated skins reacted way to slow to be useful to me.

But I decided to give this great app another shot and now with the new found speed of the nx80, the app flies.

And it's easy to switch between a wondersilk skin and other VGs with the swipes we discovered earlier in the thread.

(Oh yea and once again, please "No playa hatin" in this thread.If you've seen it before and don't have anything constructive to add than move on. Maybe someone new or others that have forgotten about can benefit from this. Thanks!)

Yes, I'm using the MSBT on the NX80. In addition to what you have "out of the box," you have to download OS5 drivers for the stick from the British Clie website, and Tungsten phone drivers from Palm's website in order to get it to go online through the T68i and others. There are several detailed threads in the wireless forum, mostly about the T68i <--> NX80 connection.

[stronggeek]

kp*, do you use your bt stick a lot and if so then most definitely understand your dilemma with the cf slot and ms pro now!

This was one of the reasons I wanted the cf slot fully functional.

[kp*]

Originally posted by stronggeek

This was one of the reasons I wanted the cf slot fully functional.
I don't really use it much at all right now because my phone's data plan (AT&T) is too expensive for just random browsing and checking e-mail. Someday I'm sure I will really need to e-mail someone or access my e-mail away from home and not around a free Wifi network, and then it will be more than worth it.

The whole thing is just inconvenient because you really need a large external memory card installed all the time to make full use of the Clie. The card has become so integral to the multimedia functions and extra storage of apps that you can't afford to be swapping it in and out. So your options are either MS (esp. Pro) or a CF slot that's not fully supported, not to mention that if you leave the card in it will stick out and invite damage and dust to your Clie. And since Wifi is currently CF-only and BT is MS-only, you would need to swap your memory card either way in order to use both wireless functions. I think keeping memory on the MS is the better setup right now, so I went for the 512MB Pro. Since the MSBT sticks out in a funny place anyway, I just think its function will be limited to times when I go out of my way to take it out and use it. For quick things like dialing my phone, I just use infrared. If BT was built-in, I might use it for more communication between my Clie, phone, laptop and desktop.

[jmcasey88]

Being a fitaly user, I never really got into WonderSilk. But for those of you with some experience with it, would you care to comment on the differences between it and the new shortcut-enhanced VG skin on the NX80?

[gucabemx]

Another tip (NX80)...
Maybe not that helpfull but when you click on the memory stick on the status bar, 3 new buttons apear one being file mgr which takes you to clie files, the other is pclink which opens and conects the data export with the pc and finaly the details button which contains the driver info from the memory stick.

[ricleo]

Another Tip with the NX80....Oh man! Why didn't I discover this earlier!!?? For a very long time since my NX70 days, I thought that the USB plug adaptor that sony provided only allowed us to charge the Clie without using the cradle, hence making it sort of lke a travel adaptor. Today, I took the plug out because I was sick and tired of having to remove my NX80 from its leather case just to charge it. Looking closely at the adaptor, I noticed that there were two "holes" in the plug. One for the power cable, and the other one a mini usb plug input. I realised that this probably means that I could hotsync my Clie using this attachment as well. So I took the usb cable for my Sony digital camera and viola! I no longer have to remove my NX80 from its cradle to charge or hotsync it! Looks like my cradle is going back into its box :)

Hi Jeff, the swipe stronggeek referred to starts from the middle of the status bar, not the graffiti area. hope the below diagram helps. The swipe starts from the end of the arrow to the arrowhead. This stroke works both when VG is up or down.

Oh ok I think my problem was that I use the standard veiw.
Will it work in the satndard view or only in the new Clie luach view?
Thanks

[ricleo]

just tried, worked in both views... remember the swipe starts from the status bar at the bottom, not the middle of the graffiti area as you mentioned earlier in your first question.

Great hear from you guys.

I for one, do&nbsp;miss the friendly banter and info you guys share here at the CS.

I read through some of the posts and not much has happenned in the clie world since the annoucement of the ux series, but man there's a lot of "hatin" going on and from both the reg. and unreg. That being said, I better check myself first. Easy to have things taken the wrong way on the net.

My girlfiend once one. She thinks it's cute.

II sure hope it's more than cute and I do wish it came with a cf slot and longer battery life and...

Can't wait to see it in person anway.

Okay, just to get back on track I'll post (or possibly re-post) a documented feature for all clies that some may have forgotten&nbsp;and others may&nbsp;not be aware of.

If you go to prefs and select "pen", you can "select a feature to access by dragging your pen from the writing area to the top of the screen".

I actually just drag from the from the status bar to the middle of the screen.

Features you can select from are: Backlight, Brightness, Keyboard, Graffiti Help, Turn off and Lock or Beam Data

Hope this helps somebody!

You guys notice that the addressbook app for the NX80 appends a much smaller image to your addressbook contact compared to the NX70 adressbook image? I think that sucks! So here's a tip to append bigger pictures to your contacts. The simple solution is to install the NX70 Address Book app in the NX80. Install the NX70 Address Book in the Palm/Launcher folder and run it from there so that there will not be any conflicts with the NX80 app. I also changed the name of the NX70 app to prevent the clie from getting confused between the 2 apps :P After all these were done, using the hardware button and the icon in the default "organiser" category of clie launcher launches the NX80 app and using the address book app in the "MS" category of clie launcher launches the NX70 version. Use the NX70 version to add pictures to the Add Book contacts and you'll be able to append bigger pictures :D

Great ideal.

I still wish Agendus supported pics, but this work until then!

And as Eddy stated earlier, "A picture speaks a thousand words"

And by the way ricleo, appears as though you have more than one "precious" also. :)

[Eddy]

talk about pictures! :)
that picture up there really had my attention.... :p
Is that your girlfriend Richard?! :eek:

Very neat trick you're running there with the NX70 & the NX80. ;)

[ricleo]

kekeke...thanks :D haha, larry's the wireless epert,eddy you're the video expert, and I'm the picture review guy :P

[stronggeek]

I&nbsp;got board and decided to try <B>Keyquick</B> on my NX80 and I'm about to register it.

It was originally made to work with the TG series keyboard, but works quite well on the NX80 as well, actaully on the whole NX series as far as I know
You may want to give it a try if you haven't yet.

There's a lot of info to be found here on CS, but not many folks are using this app with the NX though(yet).

Hmmm...i guess that's reallly cheap...but what's the use of 2*8MB CF cards? you can store what? 2-3 MP3s max on each CF? haha.....I don't think they are useful at all....

Great Job again ricleo!

Thanks for sharing. :)

[ricleo]

The pleasure was all mine :D
That's what Forums are for :D to share and find info! haha..G1 still rocks on my NX!

[stronggeek]

I&nbsp;use these with Okey, Mcphling and Quicklaunch which comes with Zlauncher.

I used parts of the Clie Buttons (mostly), NXCOLORMOD and a few others status bar skins along with some of my own creations to make this one and special thanks go to Cameron "cbulock" and Mythofactory for the help with the skins and battery bit maps.

I did this for myself because I wanted the battery meter on my NX to be functional with a unique skin to work with the 3 apps mentioned above.

Just thought I'd share them.

I uploaded the prc with the Version. ID &nbsp;already to 120 to work with the NX73/80.

This one's pretty fancy: http://www.cliesource.com/sdownload/fileinfo.php?id=4573

Less fancy :) : http://www.cliesource.com/sdownload/fileinfo.php?id=4577

Edit:&nbsp;I also posted this message in the skins section as well.

Also special props to Dags for sharing the info with changing the version Id to make it work.

[stronggeek]

I realize most are probably aware of this, nevertheless I&nbsp;feel obligated to&nbsp;add this info to the NX73/80 Tips &amp; Tricks thread.

Some threads with more info about it:

JackFlash For NX80 soon? (http://www.cliesource.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&amp;threadid=25081&amp;highlight=jackflash)

JackFlash now supports the NX73/80 (http://www.cliesource.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&amp;threadid=25107&amp;highlight=jackflash)&nbsp;

&nbsp;
I've got 15,103K of Flash!


For the Newbies&nbsp;(Per Brayder)&nbsp;

JackFlash is the fastest way to expand the memory of your Palm Handheld. Get up to 40% more without modifying your hardware.

JackFlash gives you access to the extra Flash space available on most Palm devices. On compatible devices, only a portion of the Flash ROM space is reserved for the operating system. JackFlash lets you utilize the unused portion of the Flash ROM to store your applications and databases. Items moved into Flash work just as before, only now you will have more memory space available on your Palm organizer.

[NX80 & RX7]

I am as much of a NEWBIE as they get. My NX80 is due to arrive tomorrow. I have been watching this thread and the other referenced threads on the new Jackflash Beta program.

I have only seen one reference where it can be obtained and that is "Handango". Checking there the only version I find is version 2.6.

Where is the new Beta available for sale and is it device specific.

Thanks,

[n2ifp]

Okay, here's how it works, you purchase the v2.6, but DO NOT install it.

You go to www.brayder.com (http://www.brayder.com) follow the instructions and request the update for JackFlash v3.0b10.

Put JackFlash in the Palm-Launcher folder on the memory stick&nbsp;and Flash Enable in Flash via JackFlash. If you ever have to do a hard reset, it's a simple matter of running JackFlash from the memory stick to restore your apps in Flash. A hard reset inhibits the Flash ROM as a safety feature.

Per this thread: SilkLauncher? (http://www.cliesource.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&amp;threadid=25598)

From n2ifp

"Net Monitor is a freeware VG app on the NX73/80 CD. The Silk Launcher allows adding launchable apps to the VG area on the Clie."

"This VG Silk Launcher&nbsp;is too cool and I like the way that editing the launcher changes the actual launcher icons on the VG as well."


From cepler

"SilkLauncher adds 8 shortcuts on each edge of the Graffiti area which you can define to apps on your unit (They show up as the icon for the program."

From Me

"Between JackFlash and Silk Launcher this has definitely been a good month for me and my NX80! "
