Hi,
I'm new on this, I'm sorry if I say somethig stupid (and I'm sorry for my english too)
I have a problem: in the BT options of my Motorola MPx I have the COM0, COM8 and COM9 ports aviable to establish communication with my GPS. The only way to create a Outgoing port is with COM9, but the soft I used can only support COM3 Outgoing port. Can I create a new COM3 port or change the COM9 to COM3?
Can someone help me?
Thanks
best regards
normally you cannot. But you can open EXE file of that program with hex editor, search there for "COM3" string and patch it to be "COM9" (you may need to patch in several places or search in DLLs if the program has them).
"COM3" may be in unicode, in this case you'll need to search for string - 'C' <zero byte> 'O' <zero byte> 'M' <zero byte> '3'.
hey i'm new to this too, i'm trying to send/read commands to COM ports , i know i should use CreateFile but i am not too sure how to put all of it together :shock: could somebody refer me to a source code in eVC++ that i could base myself on ??
thnx

Many people seem to be having problems using a Bluetooth GPS with nav software on a Pocket PC. I have had a few issues and trawled the net looking for answers and there seems to be a lack of reference information on this. This forum is probably the best hope of getting a definitive reference document compiled.
My XDA Pro (Universal) did not have the GPS Settings control panel installed in Settings/Connections until I edited the registry to make it visible. Why was it not enabled originally? Does it not work?
What does GPS Settings actually do? (My premise is that it virtualises the GPS Com port is that right?)
I have set up my BT GPS to be on COM8 by adding a new Outgoing Port. Using GPS Settings-
in the Programs Tab set "Program Port:" to be COM1:
in the Hardware tab set "Hardware portP" to be COM8: (why no 38400 baud rate setting??)
Is it safe to assume that any program that wants to use the GPS should connect to the virtual port COM1: or the actual port COM8:?
From a software perspective when trying to configure a program to connect to a GPS invariably the software will offer a list of COM ports to use e.g......
VisualGPSce (a free GPS monitoring tool from www.visualgps.net) offers a set of COM ports and SER01-SER32. If I connect this to SER08: it works fine but when I look at the settings again it has changed them to COM1: - Drivers\BuiltIn\Serial_dbg. (I assume this is the affect of using the GPS Settings above). Interestingly if I choose an invalid port then choose COM1: it fails to connect until I select SER08: again!!
Fugawi offers COM1: - COM8: but only works when I select COM8: Is this 'not playing the game' because it is talking to the real port and not the 'virtual one'?
A friend has Pocket Nav (Memory Map) which only offers a set of COM ports COM1,2,3,6,7,9 (all of which are named with the kind of device except 7) and none of them work. Is this software only offering COM ports that it believes to be active? It also seems to be not playing the virtual port game (If my premise above is correct). Why doesn't it see the GPS on COM8:?
Sorry for the long posts - lots of questions, a few suppositions and not many answers from me. I just hope the gurus who frequent this forum can provide some good technical answers which will benefit many frustrated (both by things not working but also through lack of techincal reference documentation) people.
Thanks

hi i'm experiencing the same problem, did you solve it ?
I can't find a useful COM port to connect to my java application using a Qtek 9000 with WM 5 and Creme JVM.
thank you.
I will surely spend a lot of time on this question in my forthcoming Bluetooth Bible (still don't know when to publish).
are you serious ..
or it was sarcastic ?
Yes, maybe i was not so clear writing my question, but i didn't want to write the same words clive_j wrote ...
I'm running a java application on a Qtek 9000 running Windows Mobile 5.1.1700 (build 14354.0.1.1) and using a Java Virtual Machine "Creme 4.12 for PocketPC".
While, via bluetooth manager, I'm able to connect my BTGPS (i.e. bluetooth GPS) only on COM0, or COM4, or COM8, my application can open only COM1, or COM2, or COM3, or COM6, or COM7, or COM9.
I configured GPS Settings on WM 5 just like clive_j did, and still i can't receive any data from the GPS, while VisualGPS can connect and receive data from SER08.
Did you have any idea ?
I found how to solve the problem.
don't know if menneisyys is interested.
Hi there,
I found the following very interesting:
To make PocketConsole run on Windows Mobile 5, you have to change the
registry entry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Console\OutputTo
to value 0.
The original piece can be found here:
http://www.ce4you.cz/forums/view_topic.asp?t=13033
I haven't tested yet, but that would be lovely!
Enjoy,
Hal
It works!
I confirm that PocketConsole, PocketCMD and Nettools do work with the change in the registry.
Hal
which version of windows
I would like to use pocketcmd, but cannot find the registry entry you refer to on vista or xp - help!
a blonde novice
it's registry entrys on the pda not on the pc!
Ok, Ok I'm a muppet! - that said, I did change the value on my phone and it still doesn't work (says the device is not supported) - it's a samsung i620 smartphone - any ideas? (I'm trying to get some pgp support on it, so any alternative ideas also welcome!)
Thanks very much for this
I was trying to run PocketCMD in my iPAQ to test a simple console application that I developed to try my compiler on Linux.
Just to be more organized. please put this things inside code tags
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Console\OutputTo -> 0
Thanks,
Nathan Paulino Campos
Hmm
how do i change the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE on the pocket pc???
you use a regeditor like total commander
Here is what I found from the source code, anymore?
*#06# Display IMEI
*#*#8351#*#* Voice Dialer Logging Enabled
*#*#8350#*#* Voice Dialer Logging Disabled
*#*#4636#*#* Phone Setting
*#*#7262626#*#* FieldTest
android.provider.Telephony.SECRETE_CODE
Already know that 5 Secret Code but could not find any thing which can out it into Diagnostic Mode which was there in Windows Mobile.
Please Upload the Source code also so every body also start searching for something very usefull.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The source code is online and available VIA git
And if you are trying to use the field test use anycut to make a shortcut on the desktop and it has a menu item to output diagnostics.
Of course if you have DDMS or Eclipse you can output diagnostics as well.. I believe they have a linux boot image on open handset alliance
those aren't that secret, and aren't anything special.
Any app can register a "secret code" and they are specified in the manifest.xml file.
most of the time those numbers are things like "INFO" and are a lot easier to remember if you think of them that way instead of the digits.
We talking abiut the Diagnostic Mode of Phone Radio so we can plug the Phone into USB and get QxDM (Qualcomm Extendible Diagnostic Mode) Software and look into Radio NVItem from 0 to 4000. DDMS is useless for that kinda Stuff. Radio Software is build using Some Different Core other then Linux, i have seen commnet of CMonex He said it the same as General other Radio, Remeber Radio and Android is connected with RIL (Radio Interface Layer) using Internally Exposed Serials Ports.
did somebody say exposed serial port?
Over my head a bit, but sounds cool, internally exposed serial ports sound useful, id assume you,d get i/o from both sides radio/droid. Back on the WIZ you could find a radio that works with the rom ver. and carrier to get best clarity, call handling, stability and battery life. This is cool reminds me of the early days of palm os rom hacking/cooking (we didn't call it that back then)
I'm glad I got it and I'm glad its an htc, so the homies at xda-dev will have this bad boy totally tricked out and custom...I love this plave, in a non homo way
Will we all be adding db9 ports on pur g1s
Bhang
no, i do not believe we will ever see a db9 on the G1. First of all, that connector went out of style in the late 90's and second, its rather huge (want do drill a hole in your screen to make room for it??). I would however like to see usb host, but someone commented that it is probably not enabled in the kernel and if it is, there are no drivers for it (hint hint driver g writers). cmonex (is a girl by the way) has been looking into methods to get root on RC30 and many other things so we hope to see some fun new hacks from that.
nice shrring,this is a good source where someone can learn something about their mobile secret functions,meantime i would like to share something which i found last week this is a site where it has network unlock code for all mobiles find further

i guess there're many ways to do this, but the only "universal" way is to simulate a com port via bluetooth that accepts NMEA commands.
Hello,
I have a lot of problems with omnia 7 due to app profile network of samsung haven´t got the profile of my operator. I can set it thanks to a post of here, but I think that it is a bit difficult and you need the computer to set it. As I have studied some of programming c#, I decided to make an app that set mms and internet. I have already done the screen and I´ve get to make that app create the file xml with the code in order to set mms and internet, but I haven´t found information about how execute/apply the file xml with the app. Where can I find about it?
PD: Sorry, I do not control English very well
Hi,
I guess it's a topic a bit complex, but can not someone help me with this?
You use an OEM COM interface, accessed from C# by using Microsoft.Phone.InteropServices.ComBridge. One easy way to see how this is done is to look at the source of an app that does it. If you can't get the source to DiagProvXML, you could always just decompile it (decompiling .NET code is pretty easy and there are several tools that can do it). There are several other apps that also use provxml; one or more of them may offer source access.
Hi,
Thank for your help and I can select the services that I have load, but I have a small problem that I hadn't taken into account. I know c# but my apps are a lot of more easy that diagprovxml, and I can´t find the part of program that I´m interested. I use "JustDecompile" to decompile the app. Could you tell me what class(or classes) is (are) what I'm looking for?
Thank you very much again
Hmm... it's not linked in my SIG because it's out-o-date, but you could try using Search to find my old DeployProvXml app. It includes a pretty straightforward example of using provxml.
Essentially, you need the following things:
The interopservices DLL (allows you to use the ComBridge class).
The OEM DLLs (DMXMLCOM.dll and such).
COM class and interface definitions for them in C# (this is the stuff with the [ComImport] attributes and the GUIDs).
ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES in your WMAppManifest.
WPInteropManifest.xml file in your project.
Use the ComBridge to register the COM interfaces, then create an instance of the COM class(es), cast to the appropriate interface type(s), and use a variable of the interface type like any other .NET object.
You can read a bit more about COM and native code in Heathcliff74's guide. It's aimed at making your own native libraries, so skip all the stuff about creating your own COM classes and writing native code. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1299134
Hi again, Does the method WP7RootToolsSDK.Environment.ProcessConfigXml allow to set the parameters that have a tipical xml file?
thank you again
I'm not sure what you mean by "set the parameters" but the Root Tools SDK does in fact allow you to consume ProvXML files now (I think it even supports the query provXML and returns the output, though I haven't tried).
