Getting Report Data Out of Phone: The Last Resort

Here are the steps for getting your report data out of the phone when other methods (sync with visual ce, send to server) are not working.  This is the last "electronic" version. The true last resort is for you to copy or retype all the info you see in your handheld into the periodic form in your Repgen.

Windows Mobile 6.5 OS

We are all using Windows Mobile 6.5 now. One thing I've mentioned to some of you is that some menus (or pages) look static, when really you can flick and see more info. A good example is the sound & display settings page. Look at the image here. I've already flicked down and it reveals a  few more settings. I think these are on by default, but you might want to have a look. They are pretty much the converse of each other. 1) Get quieter if I pick you up or move you, 2) Get louder if you are stuck in my pocket.

Also note that I like Chuck Prophet, I can't help it with songs like "Let's do something wrong (and stupid), Summertime Thing, Kmart Family Portrait." Anyway, if you like some music and want to make it your ringtone, you can do it here. If you want to edit the music 1st, you can do it on the phone with the MP3 Trimmer (pretty simple interface). But that's not really work related and since I'm getting paid to write this. I better stop writing here.
