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.

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.

Nice one - looks [promising I will give each a go and let you know how I got on - Many thanks friend
http://www.theunwired.net/?item=dev...gory=01-general-news&category=01-general-news saw this seams like a great idea also could as it says make a remote control for vista/xp media centre that works would be fantastic think of the possibilities any devs fancy a challenge..
Cooooooooooooooooooool
this is what i have been waiting for. Thankx for the update
Cool, I can't wait till there's something downloadable to play with. I used Rudeo MCE control with XP MCE, but I don't think it works with Vista Media Center.
Cube Dev leading to a Sideshow Enviroment (Raven_coda and Kona_Mtbkr???)
Seeing the work that Raven_coda and Kona_Mtbkr have done to emulate the Cube, I wonder if they would be interested in turning their hands to emulating the, so-far, unreleased Sideshow for Windows Mobile.
It looks like a pretty swanky interface and I'm sure that, if it were available now, most people would be racing to get in onto their devices.
Obviously it is more complicated than the Cube in that each page has live/updating data displayed, but what a project to get your teeth into.
It could be created in page form like the Cube, with sweeping motions to move to the next page and even be called up by the DownUp sweeping motion used to open the Cube. The opening could also included a rotation of the screen.
Just a suggestion...
i like that idea of having the information from sideshow, whats playing now with wmp, or rss, or stocks or email from the mail sideshow, that would be great.
or on the HTC Home screen where you go left or right to view each sideshow gadgets displayed information.
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:

I use remote desktop from my tilt2 to manage a data center.
I have several annoying issues. I would like to know if any of you have a solution for:
1) I need to ability to /admin or /console into the server.
2) ZOOM into the remote desktop session.
3) Switch to landscape and portrait while maintaining screen ratio.
A freakin Iphone can do this. It can't be that difficult to get this to work on windows mobile 6.5. Does anyone know how to modify the remote desktop client to achieve this? Or write a new remote desktop client?
Using another solution that requires an agent to be installed on the server is not an option. Also, using shadow is not an option.
Thank You!
ya go an pay for VNC
Though it isn't related to remote desktop mobile, if you can SSH in to your data center, you could always try pocket puTTY.
Like I said I don't want to install anything on my servers. I want to use the built in remote desktop solution on the windows server on port 3389.
This currently works I just can't zoom in from my tilt2, and can't connect to console session. Also no ability to save connections as "favorites". Very limited RDP client. Seems someone would have developed a custom RDP client for WINMO since RDP is the #1 method for maintaining a windows infrastructure.

Open remote desktop, make your connection, then on the server run tscon.exe 0. This will connect you to the console session.
I typically start my rdp sessions with the keyboard slid out, so that I can use it for logins and so I can put my device down while I am working and still see the session. So I have not flipped back and forth.
What would be even more useful is if I could get a bt mouse/keyboard to work with the Tilt2....still searching for that fix. RDP without a mouse is a bit of a bummer.

You could try Bluemouse. It's a program which allows HID compliant bluetooth mice and keyboards to work on your device. But use the trial before you buy it, since I'm not sure it'll work due to the Widcomm bluetooth stack used by the TP2.
bump this, Is there a way to get the slider bar to zoom in and out of a RDP connection. Also, people are saying to pay for VNC, is VNC better does it support zooming with the zoom bar or does it support zooming in general. My desktops resolution is 1920x1080. I had a app on the iphone called jaadu and it worked perfectly with ultra vnc. It supported zooming and panning.
Remote Desktop
All we need to fix the Remote Desktop problem on the Tilt2 is for someone to modify the zoom slider so that it zooms not only on web or photos but on Remote Desktop as well. Should be simple!
I use RealVNC, which is great, but I saw another VNC program that allows drag scrolling (instead of scrollbars) to view the rest of the screen. I'll look up what program that was.
In the meantime, watch this YouTube video of Remote Desktop on the HD2. It looks very nice!! But I wonder if it is a feature of Windows 7 that has that interface, or a new RD app. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFiDZ_wBAtM
edit: That other app is called MochaVNC. Really cool features!
Very nice! Exactly what I am looking for except I don;t have an HD2. I have a Tilt2. There has to be a way to make that work with the Tilt2 using scroll bars instead of the "pinch to zoom"
Right, exactly what I love about it! I have a Touch Pro 2 (same as you, but on Verizon), and although we don't have multi-touch, the scrollbars would be great.
I was looking for this exact thing. Zooming with the zoom bar would be fantastic.
Also, does anyone know if I can connect using L2TP on the default client?
Has anybody tried the HD2 version of Remote Desktop to see how it behaves?
Update:
Here is a copy of Remote Desktop Mobile from LEO ROM 1.48.405.2 (WWE). I don't know if this is the one with 'pinch to zoom' or not.
It is in OEM format copied from \SYS\.
Its not working. I looking for the same solution with a small navigation window :/ and cant find any. Someone know from where we can get the same Remote Desktop Control with small navigation window ?
I use T2 Remote Touch which you can find thread here.
I have paid for the pro version, but you can also use a free version. Hope you find this helpful.
I'm not sure how many people are aware, but the HTC Leo (aka HD2) has a remote desktop client app that has more features than the old WM6 one that is floating around on XDA. Basically, it gives pinch-to-zoom and screen panning. Although the Touch Pro 2 can't pinch-zoom, we do have the handy-dandy zoom bar at the bottom. Since zooming still goes through SmartTouch (I think), there's a chance that the zoom bar might be interpreted correctly if this special version of Remote Desktop worked on the TP2. It might not, but it's worth a try.
So I downloaded the cab from here and installed it. However, when I ran Remote Desktop it just said it wasn't a valid Pocket PC application. :-(
Has anybody else dug into this? Does the LEO have a newer build of WinMo than TP2? (I'm using MightyROM which is based on Sprint's latest 6.5 ROM). Under Software Information in manila, it says 5.2.21889 (21889.5.0.87).
Zoom and pan would be so awesome -- if I could get this to work!
EDIT: Here's a link to a video of the HD2's Remote Desktop in action: http://htcpedia.com/news/htc-hd2-does-remote-desktop-mobile/

Actually my Tmo US TP2's stock 6.5 ROM came with a remote desktop client installed (I haven't played with it yet), the icon looks like the HD2's, but I don't know how to check the version to compare...? If it's the same, or even if you want to just test this one out, let me know how I can extract it for you and I'll be happy to pass it along.
Well I just installed this version on my spare TP2 and about to install the Zoombar, will let you know how it works out. I think Pinch to Zoom is software not hardware, but I dont know, someone can correct me if Im wrong.

Well yes and no lol. Traditionally pinch to zoom has been only possible on capactive touchscreens (HD2, iphone, Nexus 1, Droid, and a few others), and never on resistive screens (everything else), because of the physics behind how the two types of screens work.
However, THIS article describes some recent and pretty damn remarkable efforts to bring some of that multitouch magic to resistive screens too
Okay Well thats why I said I could be wrong But I know opera has the double tap to zoom in, so I was hopefull LOL. But anyway getting back to the post, I ran into the same problem with the app saying it wasnt a win pc app, dont know why, but based on the video I was watching this is the same version that the TP2 Generic Roms (SEA, EU, etc) come with. I installed the Zoombar Plus, and all it would do is scroll thru the start menu or the windows explorer screen, no zooming in.
Sorry

The difference would be that it has some sort of Zoom and Pan feature. It may be that the "pinch" gesture is required, but it may also be that just any sort of zooming signal will work. Remember that pinch-zoom is implemented by HTC themselves. I'm guessing that the zoom signal is still handled by SmartTouch.dll, which is the same DLL that handles the TP2's zoom bar. If the zoom signal is the same, then how you get it to zoom is immaterial. In other words, if this ever works (and that's a big "if"), the zoom bar might be able to give us nearly the same zoom functionality as pinch zooming in remote desktop.

I'm the author of ZoomBarPlus and I can tell you that it will add no zooming functionality to any app. It's just designed to catch the aforementioned zoom signalling and convert it into something else (default is up/down arrow keys).
I don't think it's the same version because I've never seen that zoom and pan stuff before. What I'm hoping is that there is some way to adapt the mods in the HD2 version so that Remote Desktop has zoom+pan for other devices.
Ok, gotcha....so you don't need a "TP2-compatible" version so much as you need a version capable of zooming based on input from the screen, which you hope to replace with input from the zoombar...yes? lol I think I've got it now
