Manage tasks and processes on your cellphone with TaskSpy

Sunday, May 30th, 2010

TaskSpy on Nokia 9300i, Nokia 9300 TaskSpy
I was looking for a decent freeware program that will be able to manage my processes (a task manager) and be able to show statistics about memory and cpu usage for my Nokia 9300i.
Until recently I used a cracked version of BestTaskman which did quite a good job until recently when the program started crashing on my cellphone.
I remember last time how much time I spend to find a decent crack for the BestTaskMan taskmanager and this time I decided to check if there is something similar to BestTasman that could handle my processes and doesn’t need to be cracked.
I was happily suprised to find TaskSpy which is a superb program and was exactly what I was looking for. It even has some extra capabilities compared to BestTaskman though it is a bit less unconvinient while switching tasks, since every time the user is required to switch to the TaskSpy and from hence choose if he desires to switch to another application, kill an application monitor the mobile etc.

Here I will include a short description on what to expect if you install and start using TaskSpy:

TaskSpy is a completely free task manager for Symbian OS devices.
It allows you to get more control and information over running tasks on your mobile phone.
You can quickly switch tasks, kill processes and threads or free unused memory, as well as display detailed information about system resources.
Other features, such as tracking cpu load and free memory, though aimed to developers, may result of interest to advanced users.Another really handy feature is that TaskSpy is able to reboot your mobile.

Currently TaskSpy supports the following mobile architectures:

* Symbian 6 Series 60
* Symbian 6 Series 60 1.0
* Symbian 6 Series 60 1.2
* Symbian 7 Series 60 2.0
* Symbian 7 Series 60 2.1
* Symbian 8 Series 60 2.6
* Symbian 8 Series 60 2.8

If you’re interested into TaskSpy and you’d like to download and install it on your mobile, please follow this taskspy download link
I personally had a great experience with the program on my Nokia 9300i, hopefully you will enjoy it too.

Substitute for Putty SSH client on Nokia 9300i

Sunday, May 30th, 2010

I’ve recently had issues with my Putty for S80 on my Nokia 9300i.
Though the port of Putty for Symbian is quite good looking it has many down falls. A major down side is it’s slowness, a connectionto an SSH server would take up like 5 to 7 minutes time.
As they say time and money and loosing time is annoyance and this is especially true if you have to quickly do something on a server via your mobile.

I looked online for good SSH clients that might be a substitute to the PuTTY SSH client In my search I came across this list of SSH clients compatible with the Symbian’s S80 phone architecture

Mocha Telnet client for Nokia 9300, 9300i and Nokia 9500

I haven’t tested all of the provided clients but I was blessed to find what I was looking for, I found the Mocha Telnet for Nokia 9300/9500 which is a really nice SSH and Telnet client. I had to acknowledge, it’s interface and it’s SSH session management interface is a way down uhandy but in general the Mocha Telnet is a quickly connection handler able to communicate with the remote SSH servers on Nokia 9300i.
Usually to establish an SSH connection to a server it tooks like 1 minute using the Mocha Telnet this is really quick compared to the 6 minutes waiting while using PuTTY.

Here is a list of the capabilities of the Mocha Telnet client for Nokia 9300 / 9500 (a quote from Mocha telnet’s website):

Mocha Telnet Features:

* VT220 emulation.
* SSH2
* Autologin with scripting parameter.
* User defined function keys.
* Screen mode 24*80.
* Online Help.
* Many trim parameters.
* Small and fast.
* Free upgrades to new versions of the product.

The Mocha Telnet creators Mocha Sof provides also a nice vnc client for Nokia 9300i you can download the program from here

But wait there is even some more glad glad tidings about Mocha Telnet and the Vnc. It seems since the programs product cycle is over and there are no new versions of the programs developed for the Nokia 9300i and a few other old school Symbian powered Nokia phones, MochaSoft decided to liberate the applications as a freeware by providing a freeware registration codes for the programs to benefit from the codes and register both your Mocha Telnet you can use:

Freeware license key for mocha Telnet for Nokia 9300,9300i/9500:

License name: freeware
License key: A15761

The Freeware license key for mocha VNC for Nokia 9300,9300i/9500 is:

License name: freeware
License key: 142449

In case if you’re curious, how administration of a remote Windows server will look alike over a VNC client, here is also a nice screenshot of Mocha VNC for the Nokia 9300i mobile:
