This isn't really new, but I know a lot of TH users are new to VG and OS5. If you have the VG area showing (either in G2 or Decuma or any other VG add-in), you can take your stylus, put it on the VG change button in the status bar, and then drag the stylus to the right on top of the status bar, and the VG area changes to the next thing in your list. This is convenient when you want to switch entry methods fast, and it saves you a lot of taps over the normal method.

Thanks, that's a good tip. So far I'm liking Decuma more than VG2. I guess VG1 is too ingrained.

At work, I need to register my MAC address before I can access the wireless network. The problem was finding it. For others looking for it, here's how:

Go to Preference-Network and select Details. On this screen, there's a hidden menu, and on that, choose Information-ConnectionStatus. On the next screen, it shows your MAC address.

Many thanks to Griff for figuring out the above and sharing it with me!!

I'm not new to either one of them, though I used my keyboard 98% of the time on my NX. But, for now, I'm using Decuma a little more than G2. I do use G2 in apps like Handyshopper, where it updates the search for each letter you enter. Same thing applies to Ultrasoft Money. But if I need to enter a lot of text, it's usually in Decuma for now.

Thanks for the info. I'll be trying to get my th55 on the office net tomorrow (after it's charged), and your tip will save me a lot of wasted time.

Much appreciated.

Great tip, rldunn - thanks!

Any chance you could start a "sticky" thread called Tips & Tricks for TH55 users? Coming from a 615, I've personally missed all the OS 5 Clie tricks & perhaps so have others.

Plus there's lots of new stuff to be learned & shared, I'm sure.

rldunn

Good idea. This thread can serve that purpose - I'll rename it accordingly.

Wow, that was fast! Thanks!!

The The Go Go app provides a lot of tricks:

- Remaps the capture button to power on/off when the lens cover is closed

- Remaps the "4th" button

- Remaps the Voice Recorder button to do a hotsync.

Currently, the app is in Japanese, but see this thread for translated screenshots that show how to set it up.

Also, for those who don't want to give up on VG1, you can always use TealScript, which I've done for years now. It let's you customize your graffiti character strokes.

New tip: To start datebook entry, be in datebook & begin writing. That will bring up "Event Details" which will allow you to choose all the options for your datebook entry.

As some of you might recall, I had earlier edited NetFront 3.0's user agent string to allow myself to log onto websites that require Internet Explorer.

I was just playing around with my TH55's NetFront 3.1 and have discovered that it allows you to change the agent string from within the program (no more hex editing!).

To do so, go to NetFront Settings then page down to page 4 (of 4).  Click Advanced Setting then select the check-box for "Change User-Agent" and edit your settings.

I changed mine to:  Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0) so my TH55 appears as a Win2000 box running IE5.  Works well for my online banking (Wells Fargo).

Hope this was helpful....

Cheers, Rich

I wonder if this trick solves the Starbucks login problem?
