Swim For S60 Schedules Your Syncs

Swim For S60 Schedules Your Syncs

With the launch of Sync on Ovi, and our recent review of GooSync, many of you (ourselves included) found yourselves rather annoyed that S60 doesn’t currently allow you to schedule synchronizations to happen, instead relying on you to manually initiate each sync, which can be frustrating and annoying. Not to worry, we’ve stumbled across a new application, called Swim, for S60, to solve this problem.

Swim is a free application that simply automates the syncing process of your synchronization profiles in S60. The application will automatically pull in all of your syncing profiles, and allows you to individually choose how frequently things get updated. You can choose anywhere from every 15 minutes to only once a week, which is handy.

Swim is only up to v0.4, so it’s still lacking a few features, such as being able to set the specific day, if you’re on a weekly timer, or the time of day if you’re using a daily timer. Either way, it’s a simple application that simply works.

Unfortunately, right now, Swim is only available unsigned. This means you’ll need to use a method such as Symbian Signed’s OpenSigned process to have the application signed. After following this link, you simply need to enter the IMEI of your S60-powered smartphone (you can find this by pressing *#06# from the standby screen), your email, and then upload the unsigned application. You’ll receive 2 emails with links that you must click on to download the application.

Alternatively, you could use this FireFox extension for OpenSigned that will automate most of that process for you. There are also methods of altering your phone to bypass this signing requirement, but these two will allow you to easily sign the application for use with your phone.

    Seems as they don't support S60v3 FP2 devices? Other people tried with a FP2 device?

    Upon looking at their website it looks really great.
    So going to try it immediately now.

    Thanks for another great tip
  4. I did this, and installed the swim application. However, be warned! I used a disposable email address to do the signing thing, then next day I got a phishing email at that address, pretending to be from MSN. Hmmm.

    Both times I signed apps on that site, I never had any bad emails.
