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.

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

How can i control my pda using window through activesync? For example, i wan to read my sms of my pda on my pc. Any ideas?
USE RDCH
its called remote display control host made by windows back in 2002, 2 years after the millennium, when i was still a teenager. you know back then i used to love math. i still do but its really giving me a ...
try GOOGL'N remote display control host. i useit to control the ppc from the desktop. it shows thee 240 x 320 window, and uses the mouse as the stylus to operate the device..
I could upload the file if you can't get the download for it.
i also posted it plus pics of it on this thread:

Try this, pocketVNCServer. You will need vnc client to connect on your pc. The IP Address should be 169.254.2.1 that you need to connect to.
Or try NTRsupport
I always use NTRsupport for controlling my Hermes from my Windows desktop.
Check out www.ntrsupport.com
It's commercial software but essential for professional support as you can do the support from anywhere in the world as long as the PDA (WM5 and WM6) and the Windows desktop have an internet connection.
Why not try my mobiler.Its a freeware and an excellent program.Go to this site :
http://www.mymobiler.com/
Yep, MyMobiler is the one. Its excellent and free.
Simply connect as normal using ActiveSync, then run MyMobiler. Then click connect.
Hey presto - the smartphone/pda screen is shown on your PC screen and can be driven using mouse and keyboard. Screen rotate also works. Its very good, and very easy to use.

TrueConnect
I've found TrueConnect to be the coolest PC control app of my mobile device - you can move your mouse from your PC desktop onto your PDA as if it were another screen... very impressive and there's SMS integration with outlook. There is a small charge, but well worth it.

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

Hi Folks,
How realistic is this? Ie to remotely log in to a server and do something sensible like restart a web instance on IIS or whatever or am I being too ambitious? Some colleagues think I should stick with netbooks/laptops.
If realistic what would you recommend ie RDP, LogMeIn etc...?
Thanks,
Sam

I frequently use RDP on my TP2 to access servers (and LogMeIn for workstations). RDP is a joy to use with the high resolution on the TP2. When I first started using it, I tried impressing my girlfriend with its capabilities, but she didn't give a ****. So, it's nice to finally tell someone who does!
I always though RDP was a little anemic. Is it still that way? One of the best things about logmein was the ability to set it and forget it even with dynamic IP addressing. Also it's easy to install for people that need help on their desktops or servers. The other applications I have tried are PCAnywhere which is nice but a pain if dynamic IP is present, also RealVNC which worked great but had issues with performance as well as interoperability between OSs. Any others out there that might be nice? I need to connect with OSX, Windows XP/Vista, and also Ubuntu.

Possibly getting a bit OT? but RDP is certainly excellent for any server administration task, and it works well on the TP2, which was the original question.

Its friggen convenient when I'm out somewhere and realise OMG I forgot to tell Media Center to record XYZ. I can remote into home and schedule it.
Kinda impressive to see the Vista orb 5mm high!
I've been using RDP since my I got my Universal. Its great. Love it! Just make sure you have your stylus handy!
I use SSH to connect to linux and windows machines. In addition I tunnel VNC if I want to have the full desktop instead of a command line.
Click on the computer you want to access and the URL https://secure.logmein.com/connect_axtest.asp comes up, logme in will hang displaying a white screen instead of asking for the user name and password, click on the address and replace axtest for mozilla so the address will be https://secure.logmein.com/connect_mozilla.asp and hit enter, in the next screen LogmeIn may ask if you want to install the plugin, just click Skip, and you are done.
Logmein uses the mozilla Java not ActiveX.
This means you can use the slider to zoom in and get a better resolved image to read those hard to see small fonts. If you play around with the LogMeIn zoom and the slider bar together you should be able to get the resolution you want
but the TP2 comes with a fully featured version of remote desktop?
I've used both and RD is definately the better performance wise, just wondering why you'd choose logmein over it?

Maybe it's my age, but one of the PCs I want to control has a 1920 x 1200 display and the text is really. really, small and difficult to read on the TP2. This option lets you zoom in. Also the font on RDP gets a bit screwed up betimes.
My version of the TP2 didn't have RDP, I got a CAB from this great forum to remedy that.
I agree with Tomo. RDP isn't always the best solution especially going cross-platform. I access several OSX, Ubuntu, and Windows interfaces using Logmein which also helps to solve the dynamic IP issues on some systems. While RDP is faster, it also leaves out a lot of control. The Opera browser workaround is ok but I still use the WM client since I get a better refresh and I can also adjust zoom properly with the WM Client.

fair enough. I actually also use logmein so am not an rdp fanboy.

I can't get it to work either. I get the same https://secure.logmein.com/connect_ce_check.asp page rather than the page referenced above.

If I remember correctly, I used IE first (full IE not pocket) using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=198923&stc=1&d=1245870498 to switch, it allows you to toggle between IE and PIE. Then downloaded the LogMeIn CAB. This is a one time only operation. Do this and then try the Opera fix. If this solves the problem I will amend the post to include it.
I am runing WM 6.5 with Opera 9.7.
No problem loging in with Java, it is a bit slower then ActiveX on IE.
I dont have 9.5 to try as it dose not have my local Lang support.

I'm pretty much in the same situation. I'm running Opera 9.5 and I really don't want to install the 9.7 Beta.
Speaking of the Opera 9.7 Beta, how stable is it? The last update was over a month ago. Are they're any release date rumors??
Bump it up.
I think that is a problem with the PC, try connecting on a normal PC to LOGMEIN..
