Hi,
Since one week I own the Qtek 9090 and I am very impressed with the functionality - well, it's my first PDA so I am very quick impressed I guess.
I am searching for software which I know exists for Symbian platform mobile phones, like programs "I-remote" to use the IR as a remote for the Tv, etc... programs like this ...fun and usefull.
Anybody knows where to go to find such programs?
Any other sites for a hugh list of software to download or buy?
Thanks for all your help
Unfortunately, due to the design of the IR port on the Qtek, you would have to be holding it right next to the IR receiver of the device you were trying to control!
For software, try www.pocketgear.com and www.handango.com for starters.
give a yahoo or google search........ atttttachin 2 files dunnno whether they work on ur pda or no......
also try pdawin.com
try novii remote. it works great on xda2 up to a distance of 3 to 4 meters.

what add new device? Beside me after creation is not displayed in list device.
Hi guys,
i just want to discuss an idea I just had.
Im using my PPC mostly at the university. And since some time i was searching for an Input device I could write with and have the written stuff in a digital form when Im finished (e.g as a pdf File). This would not just minimize my paper consumption it would have some other benefits too (easy sharing etc.). Now, all the devices i`ve found use the mini USB Plug of an PPC. Since the Artemis is not capable acting as a USB Host these solutions do not work. I added a picture of such a device for better illustration.
Now the idea:
Yesterday a hack has been presented on www.hackaday.com (the direct link is below) to use a WiiMote (is a Bluetooth Device) as an Input device for an electronic Chalk-Board. Now this is an very impressive hack indeed. But could it be possible to use this particular hack in a small version for PPC`s to let the WiiMote work together with the Artemis (or any other Bluetooth equiped PPC) as an "electronic Paper" device. Just for your imagination:
- connect wiimote to Artemis then use an SMD IR Equiped Stylus to write on a paper
Im no good in coding so this is off for me... But maybe soemone could give a statement on if this can be done. I mean the software for Desktop Pcs does exist (follow the links on hakaday.com) they have "just" to be rewritten for WM6 PPCs.
Link to www.hackaday.com:
http://www.hackaday.com/2007/12/09/wiimote-projector-whiteboard/
Sorry for my bad english i hope you guys understand what I was trying to explain. Here is the picture of an conventional "electronic paper" system (found on www.pearl.de)
Regards
Jabami
I bought a Wiimote this week and a LED-array to do exactly that but for a desktop computer instead of a ppc. I've done some research on that topic and found no solution yet. Seems as if nobody is interested enough that has the knowledge and skills for porting or recompiling it for ppc.
Of course it's not really a cheap solution but you could buy a tablet pc. I bought one for my studies and I can write down my stuff and share it later on my website in "hand-written" format as mhtml, pdf or whatever. I got a Compaq TC1000, this model and the TC1100 are the only I'm aware of that can be used as slate and convertible tablet pcs at the same time. I installed my bluetooth stick on the TC1000 and it was too slow for the wiimote, or maybe the bluetooth stick, but I doubt that.
There are some reasons why I wouldn't use the wiimote for writing at university:
-As soon as the wiimote moves you have to calibrate again
-You need a good spot for it so it can see you hand all the time
-Probably needs 800 "Pentium" Mhz or more to work perfectly
In the videos I saw at johnnylee.net the wiimote was mounted over the guy that wrote on his e-paper. If you are not sitting in the middle of a room with hundreds of students then this might be a solution.
All the things you said are true, plus theres is one thing lee mentiones at the end of his YouTube Video. Its about the resolution you get. So all in all the conclusion is:
using the WiiMote as an electronic paper device will not work due to resolution restrictions.
Well but maybe there is some other way to tweak an Input device into the Bluetooth Interface of the Artemis....
Best regards

Anyone know it you are able to extract and pack neonode n2 roms wiht any known rom tool?
Anyone ever tried to get the Neonode's GUI "Neno" running on some other Windows Mobile device? (The Neonode runs on WM5.)
Cheers,
-mARKUS
actually the N2 is running windows ce either version 5 or 6 not sure.
The neonode is running windows CE 6 professional, with a custom UI called Neno.
The os can be downloaded for free form the neonode website and can be extract out of the system installer using winrara.
hi there I own one n2 since few days ... it's fantastic, handles super easy and fast. Great UI and win ce 6 in the background.
but one thing the neonode n2 needs .... for the bluetooth stack there is no serial port support, with this port it will be enable to navigate with a gps bt mouse. the software Sygic McGuider is working on the device.
can anyone program this serial BT support for this n2? ... he will be a hero
thats what the n2 users waiting for.
Hi Folks,
I have wondering how to implement some kind of mousing on the TP2 since obviously it does lend itself to mini mini laptop activities. I did find a company called http://www.teksoftco.com which does a driver for bluetooth mice as well as USB optical mice.
Would it be wonderful if there was one of those spongy knobs in the middle of the keyboard for cursor manipulation like on those old IBM laptops.
Any comments, particularly the first bit.
Thanks,
Sam
Why would I want to install a mouse to the TP2? It's big enough already and having to drag around a mouse all the time where using the stylus is so much faster and easier? I don't really see the benefits of it....
I used to have a little BT mouse with my good old htc universal... great! simply great!! it would be nice to use it again with the TP2, but it's almost impossible to find the driver to download..and btw, would it work with wvga screens, or just regular qvga /vga ones??
@ kork: so little it's easy to lose it without noticing. a bunch of grams more, when I carry at work a bag of 3 4 kg is nothing noticeable
Hi cyberpunk,
I have jext got this from the tecksoftco site:
Name: BlueInput Driver for Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard
Version: 1.5.RC-4
Release date: November 5, 2008
Supported Platform: Pocket PC with Microsoft Bluetooth Stack / WM5.0 or newer / BT Mouse+Keyboard compatible
Supported Screen Size: SQUARE, SQUARE VGA, QVGA, VGA, WQVGA, WVGA (all)
So it looks positive... I will asks thought. Being from the UK I did a double take on "BT Mouse" thinking that it was sold by British Telecom(BT) but it is for "Bluetooth" - doh....
Sam
double post.... due to system hang

If you had a wireless mouse and were using the TP2 for video-out presentation or video viewing duties, it could make life easier. Seems like a pretty niche need though.
There are apparently drivers that let you use the phone as a USB host rather than client, allowing you to hook up mice, keyboards and even external HDs. I'm not sure if anyone has had any success, there's mention of it in the tricks sticky post in this forum.
yep, but someone reported them as not working. not so much discussion about this though too bad, blame on ppc manufacturers who don't consider this function! it's so important when on the move!
@samjolly: thanks a lot mate! do you know if this driver works on TP2, and mostly important with an old "thinkoutside bluetooth travel mouse"? it used to have its own drivers shipped...but it's been 3 or 4 years since i purchased it! tried on omnia and didn't work, argh °_°
PS: I'm a bit scared of trying for first delicate things like drivers without having heard any positive feedback first
forgive me guys, but xda is slooooooooooow and keeps sending 2 copies of every message I post. must be something wrong with it.

A note of caution; the TP2 doesn't use the Microsoft stack, unlike many other current HTC devices, that's why there are problems with some devices. I'm not saying it won't work but......

Folks,
This was my response from TeckSoftCo:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BlueInput is compatible with devices running Windows Mobile (minimum WM5.0) and that have the Microsoft Bluetooth Stack installed.
You can download a trial versin of BlueInput for free, from www.teksoftco.com and see if it runs well.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
So interesting point about TP2 apparently not using the MS BT stack which seems a bit weird.
Sam
thanks a lot to both samjolly and gordon for the useful info! I hope we'll be able to solve this mistery

dead thread, i see, but to answer last post, both the bluetooth and usb possibilities are there now on the teksoft site. looks like 10 euro for the usb hid driver, 15 for the broadcom bluetooth driver.
Hi Everyone,
Apology for not going through all threads before posting this new one.
Recently I bought a Logitech Harmony one remote control and I really love this remote. It comes with a Logitech manager which you need to install on a pc or laptop. With the remote manager you can configure the remote with all kind of tasks by selecting your device from an online database. It then downloads a preset of functions which can be modified if needed. I can spend all night telling you about this remote but that will keep you from reading this thread. I would like to suggest to have a look at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TRPP4RK8J4 (en come back to read the rest)
Why not combine this excellent feature with you mobile device?
Who has the ability to build such an application? Or perhaps someone already build one? Or is there a good freeware/shareware?
Please post your experience in this thread
The HD doesn't have infrared. Sorry. End of.
In addition to it being pointless as the Touch HD has no infra-red, many devices that do have infra-red only have a short range diode with a usable distance of about one metre, so are practically useless as a remote control.
There are plenty of remotes for the HD but they don't work with old tech that require IR. You need to move into the 21st century and use a MCPC or MCPC's as you can wire up your whole house to one remote if you like. I've not found one that works with x64 that I like yet so I wrote my own.
Changing the music while you are cooking out on the barbie is pretty impressive.

Now that is a pitty.
I quess that ends this thread.
Thanks quys.
