Dashwire? Who uses it?
 

I was just wondering who all uses it.
Please post what device you used it on and if you've ever had any problems with it. Also, include your overall experience with it.

Re: Dashwire? Who uses it?
 

I use it as a secondary backup for my contacts...and also for text messaging. When I'm at work, it's much quicker for me to have dashwire open in the background and type up a text, compared to the laggy windows mobile...going thru the menus to send a simple text.

Re: Dashwire? Who uses it?
 

Agree w/ AcezHigh...It's an excellent add on to whatever primary backup app you use for your device, in my case SPB Backup

Re: Dashwire? Who uses it?
 

I have made it my primary backup of contacts,sms, and pics. I don't use it in autosync mode, but it comes in handy when I leave home with the wrong phone.

Re: Dashwire? Who uses it?
 

so it works as advertised?
how badly does it affect battery life?

Re: Dashwire? Who uses it?
 

I've had no problems with it's performance. Your battery will suffer if you leave DW set on autosync. I manually sync mine.

Re: Dashwire? Who uses it?
 

Ditto on the manual sync. Good program.

Re: Dashwire? Who uses it?
 

double ditto on the manual sync. Its been a little while since i used it, so i may be out of date here, but I had problems syncing. It just seemed to take FOREVER for me, but i did have almose 1000 pics on my storage card. I may just have to see what version i have and what version they're up to and give it another shot. It is a great program though, and I love the idea.

Re: Dashwire? Who uses it?
 

the program is sick. I use it as my primary backup for contacts and such. Although, i have it setup to sync automatically, my phone lasts me all day so It doesnt seem to effect my battery life. ohh and im using the Touch Pro.

Re: Dashwire? Who uses it?
 

What a find! I tried it out a few hours ago, and it's great! It's like a ppc version of Carbonite backup!

Re: Dashwire? Who uses it?
 

it's a good problem i've used it on and off i've had problem running it in the background because i usually have im+ running along with callcalendar but i like it it works well cuz i can access my phone when i'm not near it would be nice if i could access im+ from it

Re: Dashwire? Who uses it?
 

Well I voted "Tried it before, wasn't me", but now I'm into it again after this thread.

Re: Dashwire? Who uses it?
 

I use it maybe once a week and it helps me keep up to date. When I switched over to my TP before I left the Sprint Store my new phone was completly in the same state as my mogul was including text messages and all. The Sprint salesperson face was priceless as he saw my new phone totally backed up. Great App

Re: Dashwire? Who uses it?
 

Fantastic app!!! I use it for testing at work, and showing off pictures (100% easier than showing them on the device itself). I have found leaving it on auto update will drain the battery of my 700wx pretty fast, so I leave it on manual unless I am texting a lot at work. I find the contact update to be very useful if you need to access the information for purposesother than calling them on the device itself (filling out forms, mail, calling from work....).

At this point, there are two things that would put this app into my 'must have' and 'use EVERY day' category:

- better battery usage....as I mentioned, I can run through a battery pretty fast. If I am going to work, and KNOW I am not doing anything after, I can leave it on auto and lose about 5% per hour just sitting idle. Better batter usage would have me keep this on auto 24/7 as opposed to updating occasionally and using it on auto for high text days at work.

- They have more work to do on the contact sync. I use S2U2 with full-screen caller ID, and for the contact pics, you need to assign using S2V or the images get re-scaled resulting in fuzzy contact images. Whenever DashWire syncs contacts, all the images get reverted back to WM re-scaled and I need to use S2V to reassign them all AGAIN!!!

*Sorry....kinda got carried away there LOL!!!
