Hi I am having a problem accessing my pc from my pocket pc XDA 2i. I can access fine from a "normal" pc with no problems. From the XDA I can log in, then pick the remote pc from the my computers list, then enter my password and username, but the next page which would normally be the desk top, is a page showing the logmein free logo the name of the remote pc, a copyright notice, and an option to end the remote session. I cannot get any further than that !............hope you can help...........Thank you.
P.S. I am running NetFront 3.3 browser

Hi, I have tried it with Internet Explorer, and I get the same result
I have e-mailed LogMeIn support 7 days ago but still no answer
I've tried as well on my treo 750 and am having the same problem. I thought I read somewhere that the current version of logmein is not compatible with WM5. It works great between my computer at work and home though.

It's comptible with WM5 as is also pointed out in the Remote Desktop Access Bible ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=288506 ).
I've tried everything and cannot seem to get logmein to work. I log in to the website and then enter the login and password for my desktop computer and all I get is a screen showing the version of window I am using along with some memory usage bars. I can restart or my computer remotely, but that is all I seem to be allowed to do. As I mentioned before I don't have any problems accessing my computer from other desktop computers. One thing I have found is Z2 remote access. It's a bit slow, but works pretty well. The only thing is that it is not free, but it is only a one time fee for the software.
I'm thinking that this might me a browser issue. At least for me. If I use minimo I can at least get to the page that says remote control and end remote session. However when i click on it ends up going to a blank screen with nothing there. Can anyone who has this working tell me what their registry setting are for PIE, as far as showing it to be a PPC app rather than IE5. I think that I've modified it a few time and don't know what the default settings ar.
Hi There is no line saying "Remote Control" unfortunatley
Hi I tried modifying the settings, now its gone very strange, when I select my computer I know get connected to Remotely Anywhere, then a page showing text saying Windows XP, cpu load (No percent shown), Memory load ( no persent shown), Main menu, Reboot, end remote session. But I dont have a remotely anywhere account....very weird
Hey 600bhp. You might want to check on the logmein.com forums. There are two threads. One is titled " Problems accessing via pocket pc" and the other is " Why is Pocket PC no longer supported?" It would seem that logmein does not support ppc's for some reason if you downloaded it after 02/20. logmein is aware of the problem and apparently working on it.
LogMeIn Cab File for Pocket PC
I have been having a lot of the same issues. I have a PRO account so I called technical support. They sent me the following file. I've been connecting like a champ ever since. I use the bleeding edge beta version on my PC. This file also works with the regular version.

Yep that's the cab mine downloaded yesterday - unless it's been modified?
Anyway if it's the same then I agree works perfectly.

Are you TREO 750 owners still having issues? I'd like to know as I was
thinking of trying the 750 but need LMI for sure!
I know one this for sure the OPERA browser on PPC (WM5) will just go in loops, so LMI is the only thing I use IE for on my WM5 device(s).
Having have said that if the IE is somehow custom on the Treo 750? Could that be it??
logmein access issue

I have a Treo 750 with the official ATT WM6 rom. I cant get logme in to work either. Here's what happens.
1) I visit http://logmein.com via pocket IE
2) I get redirected to http://secure.logmein.com/pda
3) I log in with my email address and password
4) I'm presented with "My Computers" and I click on a hyper link of one.
5) I'm asked to download RACtrlCE.cab
6) I save and install to main memory
7) I click the continue link on IE
8) I'm asked to log in again
9) I'm presented with "My Computers" again
10) I pick one, I'm asked to log in again!!!
11) I see "My Computers" again (endless loop)
What's wrong??
Gotomypc worked great when I used to have a free account through my work. Why doesnt logmein work on my pda?
update
I uninsatlled the RACtrlCE.cab via remove programs
I installed the ractrlce.cab from page two of this thread
I tested logmein.com on my treo. When it asked to download and insatll RACtrlCE.cab I clicked cancel to force it to use the other package. (no luck) Ok so I let it upgrade. It uninstalled ractrlce and installed the one directly from logmein once again.
It seems I can get further now for some reason but I'm still not connecting. Here's what I see now. I get redirected to the following url and the page has the following info:
http://asterisk.app53.logmein.com

After 15 minutes of searching, and finding no answers, I decided to post this question.
When I sync with Windows Vista's Mobile Device Center, everything syncs just fine. The only problem is that Vista changes my Device ID to WINDOWSMOBILEXX where XX is usually around 70-99. (So something like WINDOWSMOBILE74). This breaks all my registered apps that expect my device id to be "Swingheim_xDA".
In Vista, I found the registry key where Mobile Device Center stores the device id. It is:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\Partners\d93f4596\DisplayName
Currently, it is WINDOWSMOBILE87.
Here are the steps I took:
Changed the registry key in Vista to "Swingheim_xDA".
Changed my PDA's Device ID (Start->Settings->System->About->Device ID) to "Swingheim_xDA"
Sync'd
Vista changed the DisplayName in the registry to WINDOWSMOBILE73. It also changed the Device ID to the same thing.
I have checked every single setting in Windows Mobile Device Center, and have found nothing.
Any ideas?
Yes, I can edit the Device ID, and change it back, but that is really starting to get old, having to do that every time I sync.
TIA
---- SOLVED!
See post #10 below.
* bump *
Anyone?
i'm having this problem as well, i've posted it on the m$ forums but nobody answered!!
really getting fedup cos some of my apps rely on device id for registration!!
everytime i sync the device id changes to windowsmobilexx, when i change it with cable plugged in, an error says that there is already a device there. deleted all the settings on wmdc but same thing happens again & again....
With how many apps out there that use the device id to register their software, you think a lot more people would be raising a complaint about this ...
my suggestion - downgrade to vista

Hi,
Vista 32bit here, and it doesn't change my device ID automatically.
So probably a configuration issue.
Does this on my device, anyone with a solution yet?
Solution!
If you have VISTA, then Mobile Device Center DOES change your device id. If you don't think it does, then you are not checking the right value.
Here is the solution: Don't use the device-id! When programs that use the device-id go to check if your name matches up with their code, it first looks to the Owner Name, THEN to the device-id.
Case and point. My owner name of my device was blank. I used my device-id to register phoneAlarm and HiCalc.
Today, I entered my name in the owner field, got new IDs from those programs sites, and voila! Works like a charm!
I am guessing that internally, the process goes something like this:
1. Check for Owner Name. If exists, compute what serial should be, check serial. If Owner name is blank, go to 2.
2. Check device-id. If exists, generate serial, and check.
This worked for me with two different apps, and all is well.

I've just started using WMDC to sync my XDA Orbit with Thunderbird (using BirdieSync) and this problem is really bugging me.
I tried changing the Device Id to be blank as suggested but WM6 won't let me do it.
Anyone have any other ideas how to stop this happening?
Hi, maybe what late, but this is what i've found on a forum and it works:
Do not use underscores in your device ID. When you flash a new ROM you typically default to HTC_TYTN or something similar; remove the "_". On my Vista WMDC the device ID kept on changing to HTC67 and the next time HTC69, etc. Removing the underscore did the trick.
Have a nice day all of you.
Regards,
Markus
Many many thanks!!!!
underscore deleted and no more name changes.....
really i cant undersand why.... but problem solved...
I think that you can help me. I installed the wmdc and connected my htc kaiser, but when the connection is established, my notebook doesen't show the green dialogue you can see here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx
I got a simple windows dialogue "automatic ...." with the general options to open a explorer window, play a dvd, ..... and so on.
what went wrong, that I dindn't get the beautiful green window.
when I tried to install a program via this connection, an error message told me, that windows mobile device center ist not installed correctly. and really, shortly before installation is through, it "runs back" .... but a wmdc control box shows an active connection ... I use the original microsoft installation file .... do anyone have the same problems or could help me solve it.
please dont be angry about reading this here. I simple doesn't know a better place, if you do ... please let me know ...
have you tried opening windows mobile device center from the shortcut in all programs to see if it runs, the icon by the clock is just the sync manager.
Make sure you have installed all available updates from microsoft and if you still cant open it from all programs then try downloading it from the microsoft site again. As you might of got a corrupt file during download.
I have downloaded the file during testing for many times. the name of the file: drvupdate-x86.exe
vista is updated with all the available updates.
which shortcut do you mean .... can you post an example for opening?
now I know: the installation process failes, but without prompting an specific error message. shortly before installation is complete (last milimeter of progress bar), the installation progress goes backward an deletes all, what was installed before.
the latest file I got from the microsoft page with the header windows mobile device center 6.1 is the driveupdate-x86.exe with version 6.0.5824.16387.
is this the latest one? if not: where do I get the latest one?
do anyone have/had the same probleme and/or knows, how to solve it?
Hi Everyone,
I have recently installed the .cab version 1.2.4 of Smart Protect to my HTC Touch HD, however when I came to uninstall it, which I tried by entering the password "123456" to the programs built in uninstaller, this was unsucessful as it gave me an error message.
So I went to settings, system, remove programs and tried from there (it didn't ask for a password). This cleared the application from the programs menu, although now when I start the phone it gives me an error securityservice.exe cannot start... or something along those lines.
Basically I'm just asking for an uninstaller/instructions to manually uninstall, here is a list of some of the processes that I believe this program might be using: rapiclnt, SmsCommand.exe, NK.exe BTW I dont know for sure but I've never seen these processes running before so I suspect that the program has not completely uninstalled. Also there are still some reg keys (which I dont want to remove without someone with more experience has told me its safe to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, ControlPanel, Security, SSecure.
Thanks in advance,
Grant.
P.S. I've also posted on the devolopers tread but i haven't had a reply so i guess that the thread is dead.
\windows\startup
and delete the shortcut to it
Thanks for the advice Should I delete the reg key that I talked about in my first post? Because it stores all of the Smart Protect settings, e.g partner number, app password(encrypted), partner name ect...
Again thanks for the advice, it's much appreciated.
Grant.
Hello!
I have a question regarding WhatsApp. Is there a possibility to save WhatsApp conversations/history? Through any homebrew-App?
I searched through Google and XDA, didn't find anything useful, unfortunately.
Thanks in advance.
Greetings,
Crash1k
You need to copy out the Isolated Storage for the app. There are a few tools that can do this, including any filesystem browser (such as WP7 Root Tools). An easy way to get the file(s) from your phone to the PC would be my Root Webserver app; find the App GUID of WhatsApp and go to http://<PHONE_IP>/FileSystem/Applications/Data/<APP_GUID>/Data on the PC while the phone runs the webserver app.
Thanks for your fast answer.
Since I'm pretty new to this homebrew-and-phoneHacking thing I don't have much of a clue how to work with those programs. I have downloaded "HtcRootWebServer_231.zip" and the ".xap" file, but I don't know how to get started. Are there any instructions online, perhaps on your homepage, if you have one?
Thanks again.
Oh boy... okay, I assumed you'd already be familiar with dev-unlock at least, so this is going to be a bit complicated. First of all, what phone do you have? On some phones, you won't even be able to run the app because of restrictions that we don't know how to get past.
The summary:
To install an app to the phone from a XAP file, your phone needs to be developer-unlocked. There are a few ways to do this, including an official one from Microsoft (though that costs money unless you're a student). To deploy the apps, you'll probably want to download the Windows Phone SDK from Microsoft as it has all the tools.
To use high-privilege apps, you'll need your phone to be "interop-unlocked" which you can read about on XDA-Devs. Not all phones can currently be interop-unlocked, though many can.
Once your phone is IUed, install the webserver and also WP7 Root Tools v0.9. Use the Root Tools to mark the Webserver app as "Trusted"; this will give it the permissions it needs (it has its own permission elevation code, but I'm almost sure your phone isn't compatible).
if your phone is unlocked:
install wmdc by ultrashot, then, connect it to wmdc, then browse <YOUR WP NAME>\\Applications\Data\218A0EBB-1585-4C7E-A9EC-054CF4569A79 then copy everything from it

Thanks a lot for your help, and I'm sorry you had to write this much. I already know how to deploy .xap's and these things, but I have no clue when it comes to the Webserver and how to find the conversations with that. I'll try this for now. I appreciate your help and effort.

Is this the same method as the one GoodDayToDie explained?
Thanks for your answer!
//Edit:
I tried it like you, GoodDayToDie, told me. I downloaded your HtcRootWebServer_231.xap and HtcRootWebServer_231.zip. (even though I have a Samsung Omnia 7 with windowbreak unlock (I think that's interop unlock, don't know for sure though)). Then I deployed the .xap, opened the App in the phone but didn't know what to do with the numbers and text fields (like what kind of Admin name and password I should fill in...). After I gave up on the phone-part, I tried to work with the .zip file, but I don't know what to do next. There are 2 folders, one is called "Homebrew" the other "WebServer", I tried to open the programs which are placed in the subfolders (I opened both with Microsoft Visual Studio Solution) but I only get an error and it won't show anything.
Do you know where the problem is? (aside from my lack of knowledge of course :/ )
Thanks for your help.

yes, it goes to one objective, but in a simpler method
Eh, WebServer doesn't require installing anything on the PC, WPDM doesn't (directly) require installing anything on the phone. In both cases, you'll need to have WP7 Root Tools installed.
For WPDM + TouchXperience:
Install Windows Phone Device Manager from TouchXperience.com.
Start Zune and connect your phone.
Start WPDM and wait for it to install the TouchXperience app on the phone.
Open WP7 Root Tools v0.9 and go to the Policy pivot.
Mark TouchXperience as "Trusted" and exit Root Tools.
Open TouchXperience (and WPDM on the PC, if you closed it) and connect them.
Either do what @aramadsanar suggested, or use the Installed Apps feature of WPDM to make a backup.
For Root Webserver:
Install Root Webserver (the XAP; the ZIP file is the source code); you already did this.
Open WP7 Root Tools v0.9 and go to the Policy pivot.
Mark "Webserver (HtcRoot)" as Trusted and close Root Tools.
Connect the phone to WiFi (on the same network as your PC) and launch the webserver app.
Set a username and password you can remember ("admin" and "root" for example, though that's insecure).
On the PC, open a web browser and go to the phone's IP address, then drill down into the FileSystem like I said (aramadsanar gave you the app's GUID).
Download the files from the Isolated Storage to your PC, and save them somewhere.
Thanks a LOT for those great instructions, GoodDayToDie! That's really nice, thanks for your effort.
I tried the WebServer method since I didn't want to install Windows Phone SDK 7.1, but I didn't manage to get into my phone through the browser (by typing the I.P. of the phone, which is listed on the Webserver App, just as you said), that's why I was forced to use the other way. Well, who cares, it worked! I have my messages file, but the next problem shows up. I can open the file with the Editor, but it shows weird symbols and you can't read the messages actually. I tried many other programs but none work. Do you guys know how to open those files? The ending is ".sdf". I google'd it for nearly two hours, couldn't find anything useful.
Thanks for the help so far.
You used the WiFi address of the phone, right? The WWAN (cellular) connection is almost certainly firewalled. For example, on my home network the router usually gives my phone IP address 192.168.0.73 on WiFi, so I type in "http://192.168.0.73" into the browser on my PC. It'll ask for username and password; give it what you put on the phone.
As for the file contents, I can't help there. They might be encrypted, in which case the crypto key is somewhere but might be hard to find. Or they might be compressed, in which case you need to find a decoder for that compression. Either one would produce files that appear to be meaningless binary to a casual glance.
One thing you could try for the compressed file possibility is tell 7-Zip to open the file. It's usually very good at recognizing compressed formats. If it's encrypted, you'll probably need to decompile WhatsApp to figure out how. If WhatsApp is obfuscated, you're going to be in a tough spot.
By the way, I assume you downloaded the messages file directly, rather than using the data backup function of WPDM, right?
Hmm... what do you need these files for? If it's just for backup, what you have is *probably* sufficient, so long as you grabbed *all* the files from the IsolatedStorage.
Yeah, I used the WiFi address which is listed on the WebServer App, and I typed that IP Address just like you said into my browser, with "http://" etc., but it still didn't work. It doesn't even ask me for any password or username.
I don't think they are compressed, because I already tried to open/extract them with 7zip, all I got was an error because of the incompatibility. The other thing is, that when I open the files with the "Editor", I can see my messages there, but there are many many other symbols there, which makes it impossible to read the messages. They are too wide spread and you can't tell which messages belong together etc.
Even though I have no idea how to "decompile" WhatsApp, I won't ask you to tell me, since it sounds pretty complicated. I hope there is another way to solve this problem.
Yes, I simply saved the file on my Desktop, didn't use the BackUp function.
That's right, they're "just" for backup, and I didn't grab just the IsolatedStorage folder, I took the whole "Data" folder, just like aramadsanar told me to.
Thanks again for your fast and detailed answer.
If the wifi address didn't work, either your phone was not on WiFi (did the address start with 169.254.?) or your PC was not on WiFi or even connected to the same WiFi network. You can (in theory; I've never tried) also connect to the phone over wired Ethernet by plugging in the phone to the PC with its USB cable, and running Zune on the PC. That will add an ethernet entry to the phone IP list, but I don't know if it can be used for server ports from the PC.
There are a number of free apps for decompiling managed (.NET) code. The latest version of .NET RAIN, distributed right here on XDA-Devs, can do it, for example. Decompiling turns the intermediate-language binary code in a managed DLL or EXE file into C# or VB.NET or whatever. It's not a perfect reversal; the decompiler has to guess what the original source code looked like, and of course comments are missing. It's good enough to read pretty easily, though.
It sounds like what you have is probably a database file of some kind. There are only a few database formats available for WP7 apps (a few more can be accessed using native code).
