Hi
Has anyone had any problems with this upgrade to Windows Mobile 5 :?:
Depends on what you consider problems. Personally, I've found that my notes and camera buttons do not work. This is common, but does not seem to affect everyone.
There are also some programs that are not compatible, although all of mine work;
Programs:
- Visual IT Tube 2
- MS Voice Command 1.5
- SPB Time (although no screen saver option)
- SPB Diary
- SPB Pocket Plus (v3)
- SPB GPRS Monitor
- Tengo Thumb
- Opera for smart phone
- MS Reader
- Pocket Music
- Avantgo (although the automatic sync'ing doesn't seem to work at the moment - they've stated that they don't support ActiveSync4.1 as it is still in beat)
- Pocket Zen Phone (v5.3)
- Resco Keyboard
Games:
- Flux Challenge
- Free Pong
- Volleyball
The main thing to bear in mind is that if your device is working for you at the moment, leave it alone. If it 'aint broke, don't fix it!
Have a look at buzz net for more info.
DS.
Thanks for the info.
Interesting that you don't consider it worthwhile updating to WM5 unless the wee box stops working, I think thats the way I'll go for the moment
My lad has a sony ericson K750i and he has a built in app that means he can connect to the home PC and use the phone as a remote for a number of PC based apps such as media player, the desk top etc..
Has any one seen anything like this for the Orbit?
Under Windows Mobile 6 you can use Remote Desktop Service to Remote Control your PC, with Windows Mobile 5 it is Terminal Services i think. Other software, for example Remote Amp, lets you Remote Control Mediaplayers like iTunes or Winamp, so Yes, there is Software like that, and i dare to say, that these programs are much more powerful than the Sony Ericson thing is
I use tightvnc on my desktop computer and pocket vnc viewer on my pda. You simply need to install tightvnc on your computer, set up a password and set up my firewall to let me get in.
I use another tool to use wake on lan, with this I can even turn on my computer (need to be enabled in bios) when I'm in range and then access it. There are a few versions out there, check out the big freeware pages, you will find it. It's like you are using your computer yourself, everything can be controlled.

Just done a bit of digging on this and found it is in the WM6 Pro version but not in the standard version. Does anyone know if this can be retro installed on a standard version ?
Many thanks........
I installed it on my device, I didn't try to get a connection but the application starts up. I still prefer other clients, that's why I didn't try to establish a connection. I found the cab somewhere in another forum, I think it was Wizard or Hermes forum in one of those "kitchen"-threads.
BT Remote on k750i uses Bluetooth HID Profile and acts as virtual keyboard. It has nothing to do with Remote Desktop and is much less battery expensive than it.

Yes I was looking for something really simple like a touch screen, play, rewind, fast forward etc etc for media player.....
I'm just being cheap really I do not want to spend money on a PC remote control!!!!
There is an application that does it very well!!

There`s an application called "NET SUPPORT CONTROL" that makes magic.You can command everything of your pc from your phone or rather control your phone from your pc.
Salling Clicker ?
But Netsupport is something similar to VNC, but more options and it isn't free. imo Netsupport is a nice tool for a company that needs
remote controlling all the devices. we also use it in our company to support our clients.
I think he's searching something like Salling Clicker ?
Dunno this tool, it isn't free...but sounds like something you're searching for...
oh yeah, a free alternative would be nice
Cheers
So I was looking for something like this...
till now three solutions.
http://www.jaylee.org/remotecontrol/
free, over Bluetooth,
buggy but touchpad function works well.
http://www.sidesk.org/
free, over WiFi,
less buggy. no touchpad but lots of easy customized shortcuts possible.
http://www.aacompserv.com/AACompWeb/Modules/PPCTablet/WhatIsIt.aspx

Hi Guys!
A friend of mine has a Nokia cellphone that is connected trough bleutooth with his laptop. When he wants to sent a SMS, he simply uses the software on his laptop to quickly sent these messages. Also when he has an incoming call, a small pop-up windows appears at the bottem of his laptopscreen with the caller ID.
Is there a software that can do this for the HD?
Thnx!
I use mymobiler application...
Do a search with google
Or you can use

Thanks for the suggestion, pretty cool software, like a free premium version of MyMobiler, with remote task manager, remote registry editor, video recording screen actions, etc - HD-compatible, in English or French language versions.
http://dontknowme.at/http://www.spa...spedl3.php?revision=16491&id=akmc766&direct=1
But I think the threadstarter, quoting Nokia Comms Suite, is more interested in software with very similar features, and at that MDesktop excels. The other two allow you to send and receive SMS in a UI similar to Outlook Express resp. from inside Outlook 2007.

I came across TrueConnect from Raspberry Soft...
bot not sure about the name of the prog cos i didn't use it for long...
this basicly allows you to control your HD from desktop with your mouse and keyboard when you move your mouse to the edge of the screen - then the cursor appears on your device and you are good to go it is funny, you can customize which edge to cross to get to device (top, left, right)...
As far as I remember, you can even switch the program to display your HD's screen on your laptop's screen and control it from there.
So I guess it is cool - BTW google it...you should find it real quick.
Hope this helps.
PS: I am not sure about connectivity...I used USB2PC connection and don't whether there is another option...
SOTI Pocket Controller PRO is my favourite
very easy to use and even have suitable skin for you to choose
Thnx for all the fast responses! I'm going to check al your suggestions!
Check this programm from Swiss:

Prerequisites:
PS3 Controller
A compatible Windows Mobile device. Check the Compatibility list. Is your device not listed? Try out CobaltController and post your results; I'll update this post.
A PS3 Controller (I don't know if non-Sony 3rd party controllers work - maybe they do, maybe they don't).
A desktop or laptop computer with a USB port to set the controller's master address.
Linux - Use sixpair - directions in this thread somewhere, search for "Ubuntu"
Windows - Use Motion in Joy, but please note that Motion in Joy uses a different MAC format (little endian vs big endian) so for example, when I run CobaltController on my Touch Pro2 it displays "BT ADDR: 00:23:76:70:6B:4D" so I enter it into Motion in Joy as 4d.6b.70.76.23.00
Wii Controller
A compatible Windows Mobile device. Check the Compatibility list. Is your device not listed? Try out CobaltController and post your results; I'll update this post. Devices with the Microsoft Bluetooth Stack can't use the Wiimote yet.
A Wii Controller.
XBOX 360 Controller
Not Going To Happen
In order to get the XBOX 360 controller to work in windows you need to purchase a wireless receiver - it doesn't use bluetooth. It needs additional hardware. So if a full desktop Windows PC can't even do it without additional hardware, I seriously doubt it will ever work for our phones. Some company could come up with an xbox 360 wireless receiver for Windows Mobile, but again, very doubtful. And since I don't even have an XBOX of any kind, I know I'm not going to be motivated enough to even try.
Initial One Time Setup for PS3 Controllers:
Setting the PS3 controller's master address to your phone's bluetooth mac address via Windows:
Download and install Motion in Joy.
Run DS3 Tool, installed in the previous step.
Click the "About" tab in DS3 Tool to see the version. If DS3 Tool is less than 0.5.0003 you will need to update.
Connect your PS3 Controller to your computer via the USB cable and wait while Windows recognizes the new device.
Click on the "BluetoothPair" tab.
In the DUALSHOCK 3 drop down list select your controller. If it says "Can't find connected(USB) Playstat":
Click "Driver Manager" directly above the drop down list
Click "Load" and wait for it to finish
Return to the "BluetoothPair" tab
Run CobaltController on your Windows Mobile device to get its BT address.
Enter that BT address into the text box directly above the DUALSHOCK 3 drop down list. Note that Motion in Joy uses a different MAC format (little endian vs big endian) so for example, a bluetooth address of "00:23:76:70:6B:4D" is entered it into Motion in Joy as "4d.6b.70.76.23.00"
Click the radio button next to this textbox to make sure that it uses the one you entered and not the one above it which is to connect your controller to your PC
Click "Pair Now"
If all went well your controller is now configured to talk to your Windows Mobile device. Go to the "Quick Start" tab and click "Disconnect".
Unplug your PS3 Controller.
As long as you don't pair your controller with any other device (like your PS3) then you never have to do this again. If you do pair the controller with a another device and wish to re-pair it with your phone again, repeat the above steps.
Widcomm Stack Specifics:
Turn on bluetooth and set it to discoverable. Thanks to ryotgz, skilty, and gorelshv for this information. I believe it is only required the first time you use CobaltController. Once you have successfully connected, BT does not have to be in discoverable mode any longer so you can change it back to invisible to save battery life.
Make sure that the checkbox is not checked where it says "Allow only devices listed in 'My Devices' to connect".
If you have never tried to connect the PS3 controller to your phone before (or at least not since the last hard reset or rom flash) it will fail to connect at first and you'll get a bunch of pop ups with PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller shown in bold asking for the pin. Keep tapping cancel as it pops up and wait for everything to stop trying to connect. After all that, try again and it should connect just fine and should always connect right away in the future without the pin prompts. There is no pin (that I know of at least) I'm bypassing security on both the PS3 and Wii connections (even though we do know the pin for the Wiimote is the host's mac backwards.)
Microsoft Stack Specifics:
TURN OFF BLUETOOTH The MS stack does not like the PS3 controller and will NOT pair with it. I ended up writing a modified version of this stack to get around this problem, but it will conflict with the real MS stack so they can't both be on at the same time.
Your phone will reboot when you disconnect the controller.
PS3 Controller Specifics:
Press the PS button to connect and then later to disconnect
Wii Controller Specifics:
Press the red Sync button to connect. Hold down the Power button to disconnect.
Common:
All 4 LEDs should flash a few times and then only the player one LED should remain lit showing it connected.
The driver stops running after you disconnect to save battery life. Run it again to reconnect. It's in Start Menu\Programs\Games
Registry Values are stored in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cobaltikus\CobaltController
Currently only 1 controller can be active at a time but I am exploring the ability to add more.
Once you are connected you can tap Menu > Exit to close the configuration program and your controller will remain connected, and the driver will continue to run until your controller is disconnected.
To Do: (not necessarily in this order)
Get Wiimote working on devices with the Microsoft Bluetooth stack
Figure out why this doesn't work on the TG01 and HTC Vogue and fix it
2 player support
Battery meter
Integrate LeSScro graphics
Clean up Microsoft stack code to eliminate the need to reboot
Add support for non-touch-screen devices

CobaltController.vX.X.cab = Installs to \Program Files\CobaltController\ and a shortcut goes to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games
NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab = Although the CobaltController driver is written in native C++, the UI is written in .Net 3.5, therefore you will need to have .NetCF 3.5 installed on your device to run the UI. You might already have this by default so try without this first, and come back if you get an error message about needing it.
NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm.cab = Provides more details when .Net errors occur with any program written in .Net 3.5. This is optional and only needed if a .Net error occurs and you wish to see more details about that error.

I didn't
I used Visual Studio 2008 + Windows Mobile 6 SDK + Widcomm SDK
I'm using L2CAP
Although the HID GUID is not defined, you can hard code the values for it and vwahlah - it works!
It runs great on my Sprint Touch Pro2 and also the HTC HD2 but should work for any Windows Mobile device with a Widcomm Bluetooth stack - again though I fully plan to tackle the M$ stack as well and also add support for the wiimote.
wow can't wait for the wii remote but even ps3 is best thing to happen to wm thanks and i look forward to testing this
Version 0.1 Available NOW!!!
v0.2 will have M$ stack support - working on it now
Request:
That would be really cool if someone would write a nice app to set the sixaxis master bluetooth address that doesn't require a pc with bluetooth and other apps. That would make my app even better - cuz I know the setup really sucks - but believe me it is worth it, especially if your phone also has TV Out.
Have you gotten it to work with Fpsece?
I've been lurking on the other BT controller thread and I must say I was very anxious to see what you guys could pull off! Great, great work!!!
same here as above, lurking in the BT Controller thread (and even in the request thread for PS3 on PPC)
where the **** is the donation address I said I had $5 for a working PS3 and while I havent had the chance to test it yet I want to ****ing donate as soon as I have (yes the word **** was necessary to use, it conveys emotion and as is said, words are only as powerful as you make them)
It would be awsome if this could trigger some devs to make it vice versa, so that you can use your phone to control media stuff on the ps3
nice one !
can't wait to get back home to try this !!!!!!
THX !!!!!

I was looking into that a little bit and it seems completely possible - it's just a matter of devoting the time. If no one else does it first I'll probably end up doing it eventually - after this program grows more
My main goal right now as far as this is concerned is to get it working on all windows mobile phones.
good job, lets hope we can get it working with FPSECE, if thats the case i am willing to donate £5. you better get your paypal address sorted!
thanks
hi sounds nice. i will be real happy if it worked with wiimote
Awesome man! Looking forward to trying this on my HD2!

I agree. I use my PS2 to watch a lot of movies and it would be great if I could use my phone as the remote control instead of using the standard controller.
How about Morphgear?
I'm all for OSS apps so this seems only natural
Morphgear is very similar with Smartgear with the difference of being free and open for development (you can get the sources at SourceForge). And it surely could use a boost and more attention.

I don't see why it wouldn't work with FPSECE - it works with anything that accepts keyboard input - you can even text with it so long as you don't need more letters than A, B, C, D, E, F, G, O, and X, maybe I should use letters like WTFLMAO instead...
I put a link to donate in the first post http://www.cobaltikus.com
If you donate - that would be awesome - I've never received any donations before.
I recently picked up my habit of meditating again, and found it rather difficult to meditate for a while without losing track of time or reaching my intended quiet time.
Thus, I have developed MeditationTimer for this. A very simple 1 screen timer that allows you to set the number of minutes you wish to meditate and start it. When the sound option is selected it will play a sound after finishing and go back to the start screen.
Looking for some feedback on how the GUI works and scales on various phones, as it's my first WM application ever. Developed on a HTC Touch Pro 2 running Windows Mobile 6.5
Requirements:
- .NET CF 3.5
- Windows Mobile 6 (6.1, 6.5)
- 1MB of storage
Features:
- Simple to use Sense SDK GUI
- Plays a gentle sound upon completion
Features to implement:
- Delayed start
- Run in unattended mode with the screen turned off
- Display a different form when meditating only showing the time left and a cancel button.
- Configurable sounds
Current issues:
The application currently calls SystemResetIdleTimer() while running, which obviously drains the battery way more than required, as meditating doesn't require you to interact with the phone. I did that so I could already start using it myself, instead of postponing it until I figured out how to get it to run in unattended mode.
Secondly: It plays a stock Microsoft sound taken from Windows 7, embedded as a resource. Obviously not the best sound, but it does the job for now. I do need to replace it.
And thirdly: It's a single screen application. Meaning that everything it does is a bit cluttered as it all happens in the main form where you can start a new session. I'm currently working on this to separate that out, and have a more tranquil second screen just display the time and a stop button.
Will take a look and do some tests.
Thanks, I would love this app if it had multiple timers, with a simple layout like :
http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Business/Time-Tracker/PSH-EggTimer-57867.shtml
That sounds great (and a great idea too).
Thanks to have developped that.
A way that I would like it to work (not for meditating, sorry) should be to hear a beep every past hour (but not at night), maybe is it possible to implement your prog this way.
Thanks for sharing!
after using it I had to reset the phone
Hi
I like your idea of application, I would like to use it frequently,
but after trying it I had to reset the phone, before I could do other things,
the program would not shut down, the button turn of screen did not work.
after the soft reset, when trying again, it did not shut down.
maybe good idea is to have a button with the choice to block all incoming phonecalls, or block all other sounds maybe?
also different sounds would be great.
I am using hd2, with original latest rom, and spb shell 3.5.

Should probably change name of app so people dont get it mixed up with...

What an excellent idea! I am going to give this a whirl too. I have been slacking on the meditation lately anyway. Thanx for the cool app!

I'm using already a long time, if you will include the functionality of this program I will test it out. The screenshoots of your program looks already nice.
Best regards and good luck !

badass app!!!!
I used this twice since install. Both times were 15 mins. The program worked just as it should on Sprint TP2, stock ROM. I really like it. Very simple and functional.
- The pic on the XDA page advertising the app would be perfect for an icon! (There was no icon in the .cab, right? )
