im suggest
ipv6 ip class / unicast / multicast
ipv6 subnet calculator
maybe in the future also, mobile phone will have ipv6 tunnel client !!
so that , we can use ipv6 mobile number portability
will love it
thanks
put some network scanner, port scanner and wireless radar make it a network auditing tool like retina and netstumbler
that would be awesome!
i wish i could help in "technical" way

Port scanner will be part of it, but not yet developed but will be done.
Cant say about rest at this point.

Ping Not Working Properly
Ping only works fine for the first time. It requires application restart to make it work. I'm using HTC HD2.
Suggestion: More network commands such as TRACERT, TELNET etc.

That was the bug in Ping which was identified, and will be fixed, already resolved in development, should patch it in next release.
Tracert/telnet good idea.
will try to include them in my todolist.
thanks.
great tool,
could have used such a useful tool during my aprenticeship.
settings --> exit is not working on my hd2
Sweet will try it soon my device won't install cab now.will look into it
Tried it, loved it. I always have problems calculating Class B IPs and I was hoping for one for my HD2 when I saw an Android version. I think it'll be better if there's support for IPv6 as well. Also, I used it for a while and found out the tool lagged about 1 to 2 second when switching to another menu, I'm still okay with that though.

Yes there is a big lag sometimes but not always, will try to take a look in deep and fix/optimize it.

Hello!
As i'm a newby in the desire (android) world i'd like to ask you for your opinion for the best set of tools.
I'm looking for folloingtools:
- Coreplayer like media player, that plays everything (music and videos)
- Vnc client to connect over the open vpn to my home
- location settings tool (when i'm at work disable 3g and enable wifi automaticly)
- navigation system (best would be local installed maps and not always downloaded)
- energy managment program, that is keeping my battery in a good shape
Thank you in advance for all your suggestions!
BTW.: I'm runniong the LeeDroid mod
Pointless post from someone whose only ever contributions to this board and this community is to post admonishing comments to newbs about not posting in development in three... two... one...
I, however, will actually contribute something helpful by suggestion Rockplayer to the first of your questions, although you will definitely get better response in Q&A or general.
I had to Google admonishing.
More to the point android vnc is free, available on the market and works well (unless your server is realvnc)

Communication manager
You can initiate connection from both PC and device (tap PC Synchronization in TouchXperience to etablish connection from device). You can connect via USB or Wi-Fi, but the first time you have to connect via USB so WP Device Manager can deploy TouchXperience and your device can get your PC IP address.
In the current version you can't manually set the PC or phone IP address to connect, or change default ports.
Make sure port 8007 is not blocked by firewall on PC and port 8107 is reachable on device.
When WP Device Manager initiate a connection and can't connect to the phone, in case you are connected via USB it will launch TouchXperience, in other cases it will send a push notification to your phone asking you to manually launch TouchXperience
Some tasks requires your phone screen to be unlocked
It is not necessary to have Zune runing in order to use WP Device Manager.
If WP Device Manager does not start at all, make sure you installed all the requirements and try to reinstall full .NET Framework 4.0 and developer tools.
If you are not able to connect or if some features are not properly working, go to Settings in WP Device Manager, click Restore default settings and eventually restart your PC.
If Windows Phone Device Manager is not able to communicate with TouchXperience, go to Settings in WP Device Manager, click Restore default settings and restart your PC. Try to temporarly disable your anti-virus or firewall programs to see if that's the problem. You can also try the registry fix in attachment
If you have connection problems, try the following may help: unplug/replug your phone, close or start Zune, restart WP Device Manager, make sure your device is detected by Zune, in worst case restart your PC.
WP Device Manager or some components of it may be considered as potential threat by anti-virus or firewall programs, this is a false alarm, you may need to add exceptions to your anti-virus or firewall may prevent WP Device Manager from working correctly.
WP Device Manger is automatically disconnected when you quit TouchXperience (for example when you launch an app or return to Start screen). This is not a bug, this is because TouchXperience is stopped due to the lack of native multitasking in WP7. To workaround you can enable multitasking in TouchXperience settings.
Tap on a menu title in TouchXperience and the main menu will show up
If you want to take screenshots of an other application on the phone you need to enable multitasking in TouchXperience settings
Some features needing high privileges on the phone (f.e. file system access) may not be available, this depends on the unlock level of your phone.
Applications installed with other tools than WP Device Manager are not recognized (they are identified by their id) on non-HTC device. To solve the problem you can simply browse your original XAP files, application info will be automatically cached and diplayed in the app manager.
If only sideloaded applications are displayed it's because your phone does not have full file system access.
Some application versions are incorrect. This is due to the fact that some developers does not update their application manifest with correct version number when they release new versions. To fix the problem you can check for app updates and click on Dismiss All assuming all your applicatons have been updated to their latest version.
You can't copy most of DLL and EXE in \Windows directory, this is simply because these are not files but modules.
You can check TouchXperience version in Settings or in WP Device Manager application list.
You should have a folder with device name in My Documents on your PC, place here the files you want to sync with the phone.
You can send toast notifications from any program on your PC using command line C:\Windows\WPDeviceManager\WPDeviceManager.exe /SendToast "message".
In order to use WP Device Manager from Windows Device Stage, you must have Windows 7 and driver signature verification disabled, unfortunately this is because Windows 7 recognize only digitally signed drivers.
Be carefull when using device restoration, incorrect usage or unexpected bugs may cause loss of data.
Don't use full backup/restore feature on custom ROMS!
If you get a message "Unable to launch TouchXperience" on custom ROMS it's because the ROM has some missing components, so you have to launch it manually.
Please uninstall any previously installed version of WP Device Manager and TouchXperience on your phone.
This beta is private for testing purpose, you are not allowed to redistribute it.

Awesome, will we be able to backup and restore with this?
From what I have seen @ WPpoweruser, only sending sms works?... I guess it will take long for a public version...
awesome!
no questions asked, I am looking in the TX supporters forum for it and don't seem to find it oh well guess I will wait anxiously great job.

Ok I understand that sometimes Shaps shouldn't ad us too early and make us wait long to finally release tools who are not complet, at the risk to disappoint us.
But remember DFT make us wait 4 month before they release magldr.
WP7 is a new OS,there is still lot of work to do. Everyone here have a life, maybe a work, a wife and some kids behind the screen.
People like shaps are doing the best they can, and just for this don't blame it.
If you don't like his work, log off this topic.

All I am saying is why post this thread? Does the OP just want to taunt those that don't have the tool?
Really, you "just wanted to post updates on the Beta Testing" that everyone else is not privy too?
That is what's weak! Not Julien's work. He's doing real work! This thread is useless!!!!

The goal of xda developers is to post information regarding development. That includes development in alpha, beta, closed or open. How in the heck is this different than any of the launchers in android that haven't been released, the programs users are developing for wp7, or any sort of development not released?
xda is information and a place where users and develop interact to find solutions to common problems, where users can become developers, and inform users of development for their xda/samsung/wp/android device.
So why does this thread exist? it's x - d - fricking a! That's why! So if you have a problem with imfloflo (moderator) posting this topic, take it up to PM and don't clutter the topic of what you feel doesn't need to be here.
And yes that's what's WRONG with xda
@OP
If you are planning to release a free/lite version please let me know when it´s available for public, I may write about it
Guys please keep this thread on topic. Anymore arguments and such after this post will result in infractions, anymore after that, I will have to talk to the senior mods about handing out temporary bans. Please stop pestering the OP about when, and how the app release will be executed. It will be released when its ready. You don't take bread out of the oven 10 min before it is ready just because you are hungry, you take it out when its ready. Same goes for software development. So please be patient!
~~Tito~~
@OP Just get me on gtalk when you have problems, you know where to get my id.
@orb3000 i'm not the developers of this, you can find more information on the http://www.facebook.com/touchxperience page or on the official forum http://forum.touchxperience.com/
I think this apps will be free when final version comes.
Been following Schap's devving for some time now and gotta say its looking good
I fail to see what is wrong with this thread and i would suggest for all those people who are flaming/trolling/moaning that they consider what XDA-DEVS is actually all about; that being a developer forum
Now hopefully i dont need to explain myself any further and therefore i would respectfully request that you please review our rules for avoidance of doubt. If the whinging continues infractions will be issued.
Many thanks for your understanding, if any of you wish to discuss this any further then please feel free to PM me and NOT clutter this thread.
Regards and enjoy your weekend,
Tim.

Ok fella's, the Desire is a fantastic phone, probably the best on the market at time of writing, a truly desirable device!

As always please either message me here, Rachid (le3ky) on Twitter or leave a comment at the source if you have a tip to add or wish to clarify something I have written here.

General Android Advice
Android is a multitasking operating system. It is very smart at self-managing its memory and applications. You may hear talk of using a task killer, or another memory management tool, but this is NOT necesarry. Android will manage this task itself. You may have the question "How do I close this app?". With android this question does not need to be asked as android will take care of it in the background.
Turn off WiFi and GPS if you are not using them. They can cause the battery to drain much quicker than if you turned them off. Toggling between these settings is easy via the default HTC widgets.
To add a new photo album, just mount the phone via USB to a PC, create a new folder and give it a name. Add your pictures to this folder. Now browse to the “Albums” in your phone and it will automatically create an album with the folder name you specified containing the pictures you added.
Calibrate your keyboard!!! You will find using the keyboard waaay better. Do this via:
Settings > Language and Keyboard > Touch Input > Text Input > Calibration Tool
There are 3 types of keyboard available for the Desire built in “full QWERTY”, “Phone keypad” and Compact QWERTY”. Give them a try, one may suit you better. To change do the following:
Settings > Language and Keyboard > Touch Input > Keyboard Type
A Class 6 micro sd card is preffered.
If you have both WiFi and data connections turned on, your phone will default to using the WiFi connection as long as you are connected to a WiFi network. So no need to turn mobile data off using home WiFi.
