Hi folks;
I haven't had a Windows Mobile device in years - last time I had one it was still CE, so I have a bit of a learning curve to climb. I'm looking forward to it though; my HTC Trinity arrives in two days and I'm excited.
One thing I'm really curious about is Bluetooth security. I've read a fair bit recently about a lot of mobile phones / basic smartphones and how they severly lack any sort of bluetooth security, meaning other people can pair to your device without your knowledge to send you messages, copy files to/from the device via OBEX, that sort of thing.
I am wondering what sort of security I can expect out of a WM5 device for Bluetooth (and to some extent Wi-Fi as well). Can people pair with me without my knowledge?
Will my A2DP connection to my new Moto HT820's be easily eavesdropped? It probably uses that default 0000 key like most headsets do.
Also, what sort of tools are available to have a bit of fun with other people's Bluetooth phones? Are there tools for WinMo to send people SMS messages via BT, or listen to headsets, that sort of thing?
If that's against the rules around here, fair enough, don't post anything that would get us in trouble.
Admittedly, it's sort of a lame script-kiddie thing to do, but I think I'd get a kick out of it and I wouldn't do anything to harm someone's device - it would just be a fun learning experience to mess around with people's phones remotely.
It's also good to raise awareness of the relative insecurity of a lot of these personal-area networking devices.
A bump in case anyone has any ideas today.

$6 was cheap enough, and it's very good.
Noob thread alert
omg how nooby is this post?
ok heres a very simple concept
bluetooth off = no access
bluetooth on = available access, however.
most phones these days (even if they support obex object push) have other securitys in place to stop these sorts of attacks.
im really sick of wana be "hackers" carrying on about bluetooth hacking, gawd go learn odbc or something usefull.
even if you could get into someones phone with your elite hacking skills what would you honestly get out of it, "wow look at me i can msg some complete stranger from someones phone book...."
sorry but as a programmer it really grinds my gears seeing noobs post about things they dont understand.
im sure people feel the same about you,when you approach a subject you not an expert or have relevanby experiance
people ask cos they dont know,if you dont like that simply close the page
noobs post about things they dont understand
that why they ask mate,we are all noobs in some field relax
the best way to secure your device while BT is on is to make sure its not discoverable.. Nothing is 100% (except leaving BT off completely)
Also Smurf is a cool little program, but it will only bluejack.. but certainly makes for some fun and odd expressions from strangers

Chill out dude, everyone is n00b in some area... In your case it should be in the area of being modest...
The xda community is here to help and offer solutions...
Alright, I would hardly consider myself a "noob" simply because I've only been posting here for a week or so. Perhaps once you learn to capitalize letters and spell words, your flames will become more effective.
The question was aimed at determining the level of security present in WM5 devices, and to see if there were any little easy fun programs to send messages or files, that sort of thing. I don't want to "hack" people to any serious extent, or I would fire up my Debian laptop and listen in to the communications that way.
Well, enough out of me. I'll let you get back to wanking it to pictures of Michael Moore.
everyone sit back and relax, have a drink, or smoke, or whatever you do to relax.. If the flames continue then i am going to lock this thread.. lets stay on the topic please. Now group hug, everyone kiss and make up
Just realize that not everyone knows everything about anything.. some people are noobs in some aspect, flaming isnt going to help anyone and thats what this community is about. If you dont want to be a part of that then you know where the exit button is at
Sorry, I probably went a little far on the defensive, but someone who can't even spell or type a complete sentence doesn't have much right calling someone he doesn't know a "noob".
I've bought that Bluejacker program, and it looks to be a pretty impressive tool. Most useful will be the ability to save OBEX transfers directly to my storage card - a few of my friends have overglorified HDD-based media players and I think they may have Bluetooth, so it should be interesting to try transferring movies around.

That's the one I bought. It needs a few bugfixes (mostly visual) but it made it a lot easier to get all my ringtones and whatnot from my old Sony Ericsson T610.

looks like i will have to check it from home.. [email protected] company firewalls
I've been using it a couple of days now. It's the best Bluetooth utility I have seen on the PPC.
It's a shame it's locked to my Uni though because sometimes I take the Wizard out as it's so much smaller, and I would have liked to use it on that on those odd days.
EDIT: 0vZ just contacted me on that MoDaCo thread to say a 2nd license is only $3 USD. Peanuts to pay for such a functional product, so I'll do that.
Oh and just a note to st3v3, no, this app isn't really *hacking*, but people's stupidity means you can probably quite easily download every text message on their phone.
Changing your BT name to "incoming message" or something and accessing a phone might bring up a message like "incoming message is trying to access your phone. Allow, yes or no"
Lots of people send files and send silly messages by BT now, most non-technical people would simply click yes, giving you OBEX, or AT access to their phone.
I didn't buy this app for this purpose, but I have just discovered how easy it is, I might have a little play.
yeah and its the same as on the old nokias if you have your name as blank (forget how to do that there was a way) any of the old nokias (ngage i know it works) would lock up becuase it wouldnt display the name.
still not what I would call hacking and being able to read someone’s text messages (which would require someone’s bt to be left on and that they had the right type of phone)
All in all its still a pipe dream of misconstrued wana be 15 year olds with nothing better to do than sit around telling their friends what elite hackers they are.
Hi All,
Has anyone tried out all the major vendors still around?
I don't want to fork out for all of them...
About to try the package that comes with the CF IR booster called 'ultramote'.
However I believe there's others which are prolly better...
If I upgrade to the latest rom (6.5.x?) will they still work?
I also have something "roughly" like this visualised... (see attached .txt)
I have an old Axim X50v which android is being ported to atm...
But progress is slow & ultimately limited, so I may have to find a better supported device soon.
Any thoughts/ideas/advice greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Jed
Come on... Any thoughts on this anyone?
I'd be really interested in hearing opinions!
Cheers

Lol, what the hell is this I'm baffled as too what the hell this thread is about
I'm glad I'm not alone, lol.
Being senior members, are one of you able to change the title to:

And now that you better understand what I was laying out...
Any thoughts/opinions?
Thanks
Guys, can anyone help me out here?
All the best,

Ohh i get it you want a remote for pda. Gotcha ... IR is not included with HTC devices after the titan II.
Um, no...
If you look at my "rough" diagram (attached) ...
I'm hoping to devise a device that acts a central controller for consumer electronics & home automation.
So far the most promising solution I've found is this...
http://www.openremote.org/display/orb/Boss+Overview
You don't have to use their reference hardware but something low power/profile like it would be ideal.
I was thinking of integrating the entire thing into my existing HTPC/PVR but I'm not sure yet, it might be best to have dedicated machine.
To run this software it's critical one has JRE + Apache Tomcat installed/configured properly.
I'd in turn probably run this software on top of Ubuntu or LinuxMCE.
This controller would be able to send/receive via;
Internet, Wifi, Ethernet, IR, X10, some proprietary RF, & numerous other HA/CE related protocols.
A critical part of this system is a hand-held (x50v) that interfaces nicely with the controller.
This hand-held would ideally also have IR integrated, but it's not imperative as Wifi would be used mostly.
However...
In the short term I want to use my hand-held (x50v) as the 'central controller' for various devices using its IR.
Hence the basis for my original post....
I'm interested in other peoples ideas, have you tried something similar?
Have you played with a platform that's better (in your opinion) than openremote?
Or perhaps you know of a better hware/sware combo for the hand-held?
Cheers,
Jed
Well I've done some investigations and Linux/android support is just too limited and prolly will remain that way to bother with Linux on the x50v.
So it'll have to be x50v + WM + app <---> HA controller device <---> end devices
Longer term I'll have to get something like the nokia n900 (maemo based) or at least something with good potential for Linux support.
So it'd be cool to get a few more thoughts on this from people doing similar stuff.
I realise that's probably not a large cross-section of people though, LOL
Jus gunna let this thread rest soon, delete from my readerlist, & move on.
Before that, in depth thoughts from interested parties would be appreciated.
ah frack yas
It's all done through vnc right now so the latency is bad, but that's easy to fix by using a dedicated app.... window 0 is video, window 1 is the debug output from vnc, window 2 is the output from the daughterboard and also where you send commands to steer with. Using channel 1 and 2 for steering, channel 3 for tilting the camera (well, tilting the mirror) so you have 5 free for a manipulator or whatever. Also 6 slots for sensors.
I'd like to point out that unlike a Predator drone, the video and data feeds have proper encryption
Sorry for the bad quality of the external pictures: I use the G1 as my main camera and had to dig out an old webcam.
Code and schematics for the daughterboard available on request, if you want a built-up daughterboard I gotta charge you for it, though.

Thats fantastic!
Hey brutal^ he developed some kind of WMD thats capable of missile mirages or inceptions.
Can it fly though?
The problem is that if you want a "first person" video I can take it, if you want to see it go not so much because I have no other video camera than the phone!

It doesn't matter anyways, you can't move it. Just wait for a mod to do it
Let me get this straight. You have created a vehicle which is controlled by a G1 which itself can be controlled remotely? is this done by Wifi or 3G? Please post more details, it looks like a fun thing to do once I retire my G1, especially if I could control it from another Android phone.
Yes, the G1 is connected to a daughterboard that uses the serial port on the ExtUSB plug to talk to a microcontroller, which in turn can deal with servos and sensors. The G1 can be controlled with ssh (I prefer to work in linux shell land) and sends images back via VNC. This can be done through any sort of network connection, I tested it with 3G and it works, now using wifi because I don't have to pay Vodafone for airtime that way. Next step is to get better video feedback and port the universal autopilot I wrote for the Parallax Propeller onto the g1.
I'm sorry but I really had to.
That'd be the next thing, once this works well on land I'll put it on a motorglider. well back to work sorry for posting in the wrong forum!

No... android development is when you develop Android, not hack the hardware. This isn't any new ideas or improvements, it's just an interesting use for what we already have.
Don't get me wrong, I think what you've done is extremely impressive (weird, funny, and makes me say "Why???!?!," but impressive). Kudos to you for your work. It's definitely not Android development, but it's a simple mistake, which is why everyone on this forum isn't bashing you mercilessly for it like we do when someone posts a thread here saying, "Plz help tried to instal dis moto clik thing n now all i see is Tmobil G1." A mod will move it soon, so don't sweat it.
But seriously, dude.... WTF?!? inspired you to do this?
I make my money building ship autopilots and wanted to do something that you can buy with less than $100 if you already have a g1. Also, I think those rc-car-with-camera toys are spiffy but have very limited range, so let's do something about that
re developing Android, I think this will turn into a "you see what my camera sees and viceversa" application, which I am sure has been done already, but I need to make it work through ssh.
I dont care if its develepment or not (nor the whys) I think if you have the knowledge to build something like this, then why the hell not its fun.
And its about the coolest thing I have seen in a while
I have done the battery mod, stock lock screen, and Cognition (latest version, voodoo enabled) on my phone. Im getting bored now even though the phone has everything I need/ want. Are there any other cool things Im missing or dont know about? I would like to know all of the cool, well what you think is cool, mods that you have done to your phone.
Learn to make your own roms. That should keep you busy for a LONG time.

I actually have been thinking about making an app. Any ideas for a good app?
A Cifs.ko implementation for our Captivate. Don't worry, I keep mentioning it and no one seems to answer. . I'd do it myself but don't have a clue of where to start.

I've always wanted to make an app for "ambient noise." I wanted my phone to "poll" the noise level before ringing and making adjustments appropriately. I like to have my phone on full volume for when I'm driving and got the radio up or out in the loud shop, but not so loud when I'm in a quiet enviroment such as a meeting, bank, store, etc.....
I see some problems with the idea such as delay on the ring and what not.....but I always thought it was a good idea....
And yes, I know how to put my phone I silent or hit the volume button to turn it down before hand.....jeez....I just like automation!

I just fount the coolest feature. You touch the phone icon and push seven individual numbers. Then hit the green button that has a phone on it. If you wait a moment a "person" will start talking to you. It appears that AT&T has assign a different automated voices to each number combination. The voice recognition works very well because they seem to provide very logical responses. If you use the same number more than once the automated voice seems to become irritated and threatening. Some of the ones with "sexy voices" don't seem to work anymore. I think I used the number combination too many times. Maybe we should make a list of working codes?
Its actually a good idea. Seems do able i mean you have a microphone and they already have apps out there that will put your phone in a certain volume mode depending on appointments in your calendar. Theres gotta be a way. There are sensors that work for brightness so why not this? I haven't made an app before so it will be a huge undertaking for me but ill look into it and see whats possible. I love a challenge.
Really?

I agree this was a great idea. I even pulled out my phone to see if Tasker had a variable for mic input. Though it does poll proximity sensor and light sensor, it does not check the mic through preset variables. I am curious enough though, that I think I will head to their website and see what manual input might get that result.

It is a sarcastic reference to our excessive expectations and lack of reverence in some of the more simplistic aspects of our miraculous devices. I sympathize with your original post and understand the need to constantly scour XDA for the latest release or mod. With that understanding I found humor in mocking "ourselves" with the most basic and intended function of our phones...TO BE A PHONE!
It is easy to misread humor. A forum does not allow for pitch change, facial expressions or sarcastic tone. It can be hard for some people to communicate efficiently and enjoyably when they are reading something outside of the intended interpretation. When you combine this with the varying levels of intellect, age and types of humor within this community you are bound to find those who cannot interpret or understand a bit of sarcasm. We are not all born with a "Bevis and Butthead" idea of humor, but I will do my best to include a fart joke for you in my next post . I hate to exclude anyone in my audience.
-"Everything in the world will be laughed at by one, but nothing will be laughed at by all." <--- I just made that up. I don't mind if you use it later. It's cool.
Before I go I want to prevent any confusion.
This post contained the following emotions in various degrees and locations:
Had a feeling!
I had a feeling it was a joke, and more often than not people will post ridiculous stuff about how the poster is an idiot because they did not search the forum and things of that matter.
Its hard not to get a little defensive when you feel like someone is making fun of you. Im glad that you put that part in there about sympathizing with me because I honestly look through tons of pages each day looking for the next best thing or project.
You are correct about how some of us tend to lose site of the fact that it also works as a phone so im glad that you pointed that out. After i found out it was a joke it did seem funny. I rarely use it to call people now days because I would rather text or send them an email. So yeah that is funny.
P.S. I am a pretty funny guy according to my mom <---haha and fart jokes are always appreciated.

On a more OP related note. I am beginning to feel like a sales rep for Tasker since I have mentioned it in 3 posts today BUT... it has allowed me to expand/experiment when not flashing. Here are some things I have done that may interest you or give ides for apps.
1. FaceDown - I have the phone automatically go to speaker phone and max volume when it is placed face down during a call. Got the idea from my buddy's Tilt2 (winmo).
2. QuietTime - Phone automatically switches to silent during weeknights from 10:30pm-5:30am and when I am in class based on my selected schedule.
3. CarDock - When headphone jack, usb power, and left side orientation are all enabled/plugged it triggers the following: BT ON (connects to car stereo), GPS ON, Volume Maxed, Car Home launched.
4. GoodHusband - Widget that automatically sends a "Thinking about you" or "I love you" message to the wife. It works nice and quietly without opening the messaging application. Unfortunately I have not figured out how to make it randomize through a list of messages. That would make it perfect.
5. PhoneFind - Specific text message sent to my phone will make it quietly reply with a current GPS location and battery level. (I'm a lucky owner with GPS)
I hope some of these are inspiring. I have enjoyed toying with them.

Are you talking about the key pad for entering the super master codes in? Thought it was some glitch from my last flash. Wow, glad to know I'm not the only one.
Hows the recognition software work for you when drinking alcoholic beverages? Will the 2.6 ota promised upgrade revert the root and make the speech synthesis less Irish-ish? Huh? FarmBoiGadget had the article but Ican't find it nor do I care to back my beliefs up.
So, debate it.......6 or a half dozen? You tell me.

Im actually messing with the Android SDK and Eclipse and all these other things I have no business messing with. Luckily there are tons of tutorials on line and hopefully I can learn something. Im starting from ground zero with this app making stuff. I dont know anything about coding or anything of the sort so it should be a fun process. Ill let you know if i get anywhere or if its even possible once I learn what the heck im doing. Could take a couple months and by then someone will probably make one. Ill keep messing around and let you know whats up or down.I have my music on shuffle, and im in a hotel room for work with nothing to do so...unfortunately today is my last day here.

Can someone please post a link for where I can buy a cable that will allow me run run video/audio out from my Epic 4G to my current 08 G35 TV screen via RCA?
When my lease runs out on the G35, the new G37 replaces the RCA video/audio in with USB. Can someone post a like for where I can buy a cable for sending video/audio from my Epic to the USB in of the G37?
Thank you.
Did you try the search button or the wiki? Or did you expect someone else to do that work for you? While we're on the subject, if you have the money to piss away on a G37, you have money to pay someone who knows what they're doing to set it up for you.
HAD you done any reading (rather than expecting us nerds to work for you for free) you'd see video is not happening (at least not yet, and possibly never). Audio is certainly possible, and VERY EASY, but if you can't figure that out you have no business trying to get wired into a car stereo (much less in a LEASED car).

epic. youd think after the 35 comparison thread between the evo shift and the epic this fine op created, this wouldve come up. guess you made the wrong choice tc!
edit. since hes duplicating this thread in the evo shift thread, im going to assume he doesnt own either of these phones or a g35. we'll see i guess when he posts pics.
I searched "RCA" and found nothing.
I own G2 and will be trading it in for a Shift or a Epic after CTIA.
I own a 2008 G35x and will be trading in for 2011 G37x.
FYI: My company ended up making the entire division take Blackberries.
Short answer: no.
Has anyone tried microUSB to TV/Monitor USB port for video and audio?
What happened?
Thanks.
After all day on the phone with Samsung, video and audio out to an external monitor for dual display is not possible with the Samsung Epic.
Shame on you, Samsung.

Check my screen name.
My G is a taxi cab for during the week and for ski trips on the weekend.
My C6 and a 1k bike is for having fun.
I'm not one of the dillusional fast and furious that thinks any Infiniti is a sports car......or anything running slower than 10's is quick.
The only thing fast out of asia is a 1000+cc bike and a HIGHLY modified GTR/Supra, but I digress.
The fact that the Epic won't do AV out for dual display is still pathetic.
ppl, we gotta keep pushing on this. For the same reasons others have to get this working. Especially with netflix now working, to have the tvout option would be the cherry on top. Like many, its not to connect to my house tv but for my car tv!!!!! Big thanks and respect to the all devs out there.
Isimple makes some nice audio in devices. I just put one in my 3g acura TL to get an aux port on my XM button.
I had to go through a ton of crap to get audio on my g35 06 working, had to intall a switch in the dash to enable sat connection since there wasn't a simple jack built in and bluetooth didn't work. Was amazed. So annoying and basic and it didn't have it.

I have an 07 g35x. The best solution to streaming audio from Epic is a BT gateway.... there is no way to display video because Epic´s video out is not enabled.
RCA video

I see you are a senior member. Are you equally rude to everyone like you were to the member who enquired about the RCAcable?
I've been looking for an answer too, and yes, I have exhausted my search efforts or I wouldn't be here looking for an answer either. If you don't have an answer, do us all a favor and keep your worthless comments to yourself. I'm surprised the moderator tolerates your behavior.

I'm sorry you took it that way. My comment was not personally directed at anyone. I guess I should have said there's no need for anyone to be a ****. Especially when it is unprovoked, as was the case with the other poster. My point was, 2 years or not, rudeness is not acceptable.
