I've searched the net like crazy trying to find an answer but all I come up with is junk. I have an imate sp5m running windows mobile 5 smartphone edition. All I want to be able to do is connect to a wifi network and explore the network files on my phone. As far as I know the default file explorer doesn't do it but resco file explorer used to. I went to resco and they had a bunch of junk saying that it was impossible or something. It's really starting to piss me off, something so simple yet I can't find any information about it. The net is useless to me atm. So I turn to you. WTF? What's the deal? Thanks. SPACE
I think I've read somewhere that it can be done if some necessary files are copied from a wm pro os... But what are the needed files?
why would microsoft do something so obviously stupid???

Hi,
I've literally searched my butt off to find anything (helpful!) on this but i didnt have much luck so far so i'm hoping someone in here might have an answer...
Actually i've got two questions but lets just start with the one from the topic:
How the heck do i change the directory to where bluetooth files are saved by default?! i've got an xda mini s and it got only about 32mb of free unused storage space. but i got a 1gb storage card that doesnt really help me much when sending files through bluetooth that are larger than 32mb... so i'd like to save directly to the mini-sd card. i've stumbled across some hint changing a registry value but that didnt work either because ... well... the registry key wasn't there. and a search (with PHM) after "/my documents" didnt bring any results either so i couldnt find where to change this path to the one i want it to be... active sync isnt an option either because i'm on a mac. the only reason that comes to my mind atm is buying a cardreader which i would rather not because it would be only for the pda and there just HAS to be a way to change the stupid default directory... of course the xda mini s has also wlan so why transfer through there? well that just leads to my second question...
is there any way (e.g. a certain program) that is able to process user information for SMB shares? i tried connecting to my smb share here on the ibook with total commander and with resco explorer... didnt work, just says it cant connect. tried dns name as well as ip address. i even tried ftp sharing (it actually worked) but the speed was kinda "poor" i have to say (50mbit wlan and the sucker didnt exceed 7KB/s)
Im really kinda stuck here concerning the data exchange between my mac and the PPC. the only thing i can do so far is using bluetooth (which is also damn slow) for files below 32mb - everything else is just plain impossible so far... i really looked forward to the windows mobile device again (had an ipaq 3950 years ago) after being so very disappointed of the palm t|x but well... something always screws up *sigh*
in hope, someone has an answer...
sooo, because i'm a cheap basta*d i'm going to buy a dvd player with gps for my car on ebay and i've noticed a lot of them, or even all of them?, run on windows ce. So here's my question, will any cab run on windows ce? i mean, winmo 5, 6, 6.1 and everything before that ran on windows ce right? so how easy would it be?
Picture this, a 8-16gb sd card, jam it into the card reader and start up S2P (slide to play) for one bad ass cover flowin' music center! obviously other thing would be useful to, and since these bad boys are only like $300 buckaroos it isn't a bad idea, especially for us gadget pr0n guys right?
what about flashing a rom from a SD card (only heard rumors/speculation about that, probably not possible)? or just loading up manila 2d/3d via throttle launcher and getting the think looking pimp? no phone antenna, no problem, just sync it through the bluetooth and make calls (new app required i'm guessing, or at least adapt/beautify some existing cab/exe). get internet sharing to work on it somehow and you're seriously looking at a pretty cool carputer. well, with all i'd want to use one for anyways. Who wants to do more than what a good rom on one of our phones can do while in a car anyways?
I'm not sure if it will run out of the box like that, with nothing more than some cabs on and sd card, or if you have to do something else (file explorer and whatnot), but i figured xda would be the best place to start for the right answers. I've never gone wrong before with you guys, so speak up! let's see what we come up with!
or at least give me a link to a better place if you know of one and i'll get off my soapbox...
anyways, i've got access to a few vogues, a wing/herald, and a touch pro to do testing with, along with the dvd player/win CE unit--in about a week or two that is--so i'm more than happy to put it on the table.
Man i hope you guys are reading this and as pumped as i am.
anyways, pm me with anything, or i'll just keep looking to see if anyone else posts here

does anyone know if this would even work?
This could work.
First of all, you need to look up how to disable OEM's shell (factory "software" of the player) and enable Windows CE interface.
Next you either install Handheld PC apps, or install libraries which allow you to run applications from PocketPC.
Myself I tried it with a cheap GPS. Yeah, WinCE + apps are a major step up from maps only, but it is not anywhere close to even a non-phone PPC. Because of, for example, lack of WiFi. The big advantage is, that I can install any WinCE compatible map instead of outdated OEM maps.
Hope I am right, and this helps
Where did you find information about your GPS? I just got one, model# TID-7626GPS that I'm going to try to mod, but i can't find information about how to get the WinCE.
if you could pass on any links to places i could look it would help a ton. For how do disable the factory OEM and those libraries?
First you need to find out real manufacturer of your device. I googled model name you said but there's nothing
Or, connect that device via ActiveSync (yes, the same) and see if there's a file \Windows\autorun.inf
If it exists, backup it. Then change it so it will load \Windows\explorer.exe
That should unlock WinCE UI.
However, the file may not exist. In this case you have to look for instructions over the web.
Hi guys, has anybody heard of their software? It's commercial but maybe somebody already used it and has experiences with it?
Link is http://www.steganos.com/en/products/secure-travel/privacy-suite-mobile/overview/
[edit]
It has a password manager, ok, i use keepass on my cruise and on my pc sharing the database, not sure how good the steganos one is but bluetooth locking sounds interesting and safe too, i don't need a file shredder though.
Think I'll give it a try when I'm back home... will keep you informed if interested.
Hi!
I'm using Steganos Security Suite on the PC for a couple of years now. Created a "safe" for some private documents, I'd like to have on my notebook in the office too.
Created it with Version 5, and it's still operational. In the meantime I upgraded to Steganos 6 and 2006, and never lost any of the documents stored in the safe.
So please let me know your experience with the mobile suite, as I'm also interested in purchasing it for my device.
no reply?
okay: managed to install it into visual-studio's emulator. the safe looks quite okay, and is able to store all documents and folders.
once the safe is opened by entering it's password or picture-code, it's registered like an additional storage card. so from any explorer (resco, standard, totalcommander) you access your files directly, they are opened with it's associated programs.
that's a nice one.
other functionality as password-manager and encrpytion of files and folders is already known from other software.
currently I'm running a trial-version, maybe I will purchase it.
Does Anyone know if this is possible, i would like to enter my movie or musicfolder so i can copy whatever i want over to my phone BY WIFI (ADDED LATER) have tried to search the database and came up with something i another phone thread
but i could not make this to work. Anyone know if there is an app or something i could use.
i have a HTC HD2.
i have found a lot of nice things on this place, but nothing abouth windows networking. maybe im wishing for too much. but!!! i hope

Hi, did you try using ActiveSync or Device Center to connect to your HD2, then clicking explore on ActiveSync or Device Center and then copying your files into your phone?

Ok, i did not write that i ment by WIFI. sorry, other ways like activesync work. but thats not what i want

googd suggestion.
Hi and thanks for tip. i have already seen this, but its browsing the wrong way.. I want to browse the COMPUTER, not my phone
The next best thing I can think of is if you purchase an application from the Resco Software company. Resco Explorer will allow you to map your network drive on your device. It includes a host of other features that the stock explorer doesn't which will make file management much easier. I highly recommend it to everyone.

i got the soultion..
the good old Total commander finally worked, and now i can browse my server.. nice. thanks for all help guys.
with windows mobile on the Mogul, Touch Pro, and Touch Pro 2, I was able to use a program to read all sorts of data from my phone. Hacking it was easy as long as I had a guide telling me what was what. I'm surprise I didn't see a program that will let me browse through the phone in that manner. I don't just mean a file explorer. I'm talking about a full browser where I can check out the registry and EVERYTHING.
One useful application is to find deleted texts and save them on the computer.
