I'm not sure if this issue is specific to the Diamond or all WM6.1 phones, but does anyone know of infrared remote software which will work on Windows Mobile 6.1?
I am not sure of any specific software although I believe that it does exist. Problem is though that most of our phones do not have the right IR to actually work more than a couple feet away.

That's right. The IR range can be very poor. I've tried servel apps on my Trinity but find that to use my stereo I have to be about 2 inches from it but the TV works across the room!
If you still interested try out Novvi Remote or Vito Remote. Both allow your WM to learn from other remotes plus you can build you own screen.
I have heard the some older iPaq devices had much better/stronger IR so if you got one or can get one try them out.

Novvi Remote doesn't work on many new phone's and I'm not sure they care enough to fix that. I guess I'll just have to try them all and see what works, I was hoping someone had tried and found one.
I'll update if I find anything.
I have a Wizard( Imate K-jam) running wm 6.1 and i use both wincesoft remotecontrol 2 and Novi remote deluxe with no problems, both operate the tv etc. from across the living room.
also fewer and fewer wm devices that comes with 6.1 have ir anymore

Yeah, I used to have one of those iPaqs (the 2215) and it had consumer IR and came with remote control software. I never really used it except once in class when the VCR buttons didn't work and the remote was missing. It was humorous because nobody knew how it was rewinding and stopping on its own.
The Samsung i730 had a powerful IR and built in remote control that you could program, ie a universal remote
External IR Device
On a similar topic and assuming I can find software which will function well with my phone, does anyone know of a good IR transmitter which will attach to mini USB? I've found some that will attach to a headphone jack, but unfortunatelly my phone does not have one.
Thanks.

Hello, I have been browsing this forums for quite some time now reading in and out about all the HTC phones. Currently I am looking for a new phone to replace an old nokia phone I had ( 6670 with Simbian ).
Up until know my country adopted Edge Technology, so it is time to get a Real Phone ( yes I know until now edge, no idea if 3G will be implemented )
ok here is the deal, I want a Good Phone, that can act as a PDA as well, I have had a lot of time using PALM OS pda's but looking at the trends of the market, I am going to switch to Windows Mobile. I already saw that most programs can be run on Windows Mobile using a PalmOs Emulator, so some software that I need that is made specifically for palm, (medical mostly) I think I will be able to run.
I am looking to find a machine, that works well, that acts as a good cellphone, as well as a good PDA, I would like to have a touchscreen and Keyboard Capabilities, good speed, and a frontal camera. TV-out would be a plus, also a GPS, well you know a well rounded phone that is not way bulky so a good size.
I have been looking at the Kaiser, but people complain a lot about the 3d driver, I am not really looking for a gaming machine, but I would love to watch a video now and then, so it seems good, overall, I would like to see some hands down experience on it, is it resistant ? can it handle a fall from my pocket ? will the keyboard just crack ? Do you guys think there will be a way to get a cable for the TV out ?
now also I have seen the Universal, and people that seem to know what they are talking about, that will not replace it for anything in the world, and they are wating for the Omni so I wonder..
Also the P900, the Imates, the Goldfish, and other phones, it is being kinda a mess to select amongs this many devices, and I really have no experience outside of PC's, Palms, and Nokia phones ( I willl learn to use WM ), but choosing I really need hands on experience, of people that own the different devices. and what is my best overall well rounded up option.
Thank you !
Hi,
I've replaced my old HTC artemis. It's not in very good condition, almost unusable as a phone.
Has anyone found good uses for the old PPC's?
Ideally I would like to use it a tiny wireless server, e.g. for torrent, or remote control. It's a pity that it can't be used as a USB host so that hard drives could be attached.
Does anyone know of any useful uses of their old phones? Are there any novel uses for an embedded WinCE 6.0 device?
thanks.
What a great question, Mine are always in good enough condition to be sold, but with me being 18 today, im getting a new laptop and desktop, and ill buy a new ppc, probably the x1, so i will have no real use for my athena, so maybe it's time to find one.
I couldn't sell it
Rory
I would like to use it like a wireless IP webcam. They are really expensive, and PPC have all the hardware needs. But no software solution. I look.
Does anyone know if there exists any cases with physical buttons (either hooks into usb or transmits via bluetooth)? For example I just saw this case for iPhone, but even it is designed for a specific game functionality. What I would love is something that is just a case that you put on the phone which has physical keys that you can use to turn it into a little portable gaming device. I'm guessing that nothing like this exists for our phones so far, but does anyone know of anything like this that exists at all? If there is that is good place to start with asking that company to make one for our phone as well.
Not a case but it's universal.

Yah that looks like about what I wanted. Is there any competition (its $70!) or this the only one anyone is aware of?
Try out the Sixaxis software in the market. Works great with any ps3 sixaxis controller
Yah I've been using sixaxis + hdmi mirroring with my Atrix on my tv since it first came out like a year ago, I'm more looking for a on the go solution. Playing any action games where you need fine tuned controls on a touch screen is just painful.
then icontrolpad is the way to go. No others offer a solution (unless you go apple)
Szsion (i am not allowed to post links, google it, the first match is the one) produces quite nice android only (no ce) car navis that fit the design of different cars (audi, VW, mercedes, BMW, Kia, opel and many more).
I bought the Audi A3 version which looks quite like my now obsolete audi rns-e navigation plus.
I assume that the radios are technically all the same with different CAM bus boxes on the back and different designs. Sporting MStar SoCs (subsidary of Mediatek) they have a CPU powerful enough for car radio tasks and have a quite nice display.
I am also happy with the radio reception, which is as good as my original audi device. also i bought a realtek based dVB-T stick which enables me to use SDR along with digital radio, tv and FM in even better quality.
Navigation is VERY accurate, I even play ingress on it
The only issues I have at the moment is CAN bus support, which is because I got a pre-sale sample with some firmware problems regarding can bus support and I can't turn display brightness to full at the momenr, but that could be fixed with a new software.
So , do you guys know something about those devices ? Anybody else owns one? I just saw that DX.COM is also selling them, so chances are that I am not the only one with this nice device..
Greetings

As a trading company selling car multimedia since 2007, we purchased some samples on may 15 ( all with either 8 Gb or 16 Gb storage memory). We are still expecting to see the first units....nothing has been shipped till now....
Also : SION shares it's office address with ZHINAVI, selling same units with another interface....please check what you'll find in XDA forums about this company...I don't want to comment publicly, only in private messages if you want.... For me they are sisters companies, even if SION denies it....I am rather anxious about this....

Don't worry about not getting the devices. They exist
It seems that they are having some trouble with CAN conectivity which they claim is a software issue. I insisted on getting my device anyway and putting on software updates later on. Linkey is very nice if you ask her ...
They could also send me just 4gig model since 8 and 16 are not available yet.
They could, however communicate the problems a little more and not letting us wait 2 months without delivery, a mail saying that it will take some time would be nice...
The launcher they use is very nice, like on the pictures. The cpu is powerful enough for car tasks, gps is awesome. I have the best snr i ever had on any of my android devices.
Dvd playback works, radio is good. As I already said.
Anbody knows a rooting technique that MAY work with the mstar cpu?
I have been following these units as well. I have asked for a video of the interface so that I could see performance. Instead of doing a walk-thru like most companies, I got this, that I uploaded to YouTube.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHl2ZaDq3iw
I have also asked about unlocking the bootloader. It seems that the manufacture is interested in modifying his code to Android 5.x I told him if he opened up 100% of the source code to XDA, not only would he have a stable build of 5.x, but he would also have the best selling unit on XDA. I havent heard any more back.
I bought and received one of these for my 2006 Audi A4. It's working alright, sill trying to integrate steering wheel controls and the rear speakers aren't working, these two items aren't huge for me so I'm happy with the purchase so far. Also, I ordered and received the item within a week, crazy fast

Hi Riley!
Do any of your CANBUS features work or is it just the SWC that dors not work?
Also, how happy are you with the display brightness? Mine's way too dim for daylight use. At night, the display is very nice and sharp with beautiful living color, but with sunlight it really sucks so bad you almost can't see anything.
What's your software version?
I forgot to mention how AWESOME it would be to have source code access for this device.
KICK-ASS!
Anybody got an idea how I could try to enhance the display brightness?

I have similar unit for Audi A4 2002 model, rear speakers were not working but got around that by connecting the rear aux outputs left and right to the cables for aux inputs left and right!
I also have trouble with the Canbus support and the LED lights on the unit do not go off when the unit is powered down. Thats not good news for my battery. However the unit is very quick and GPS works smoothly....

Baidu Root works just fine.
The display is not great in the sunlight. I also think the colors are a bit washed out. The radio tries to turn on the back up camera when I go in reverse and the led lights turn off when I turn off the headlights, so I assume the canbus is working. I think the swc is a wire harness issue, I'm going to check it out when I feel brave enough.

Those with Audis, how does the plastic of the radio match the dash?? The HuiFei unit was a glossy and didn't really match the matte factory finish
It looks great against the dash, like it belongs.

Side Note... Those with the Audi that are having speaker issues. 99% of the time this is because the right harness combo is not hooked up. I worked in car stereo for years and tell you the Audi harnesses can be tricky. Sometimes you need to have speaker wires only, sometimes you need to use the RCA jack harness, and sometimes you need to use both.
DO NOT PM asking me to help with your car. This is nothing something that can be troubleshot over the internet. Has to be done in person. Your best best is too pull your radio out and the harness, You should have a separate harness that plugs into the back of the radio giving you RCA output. You will need to take these outputs and try plugging into the harness that goes into the car. A combo of these, should cause all speakers to work.

One more question for the Audi guys. The 4 buttons around the volume knob. Can you program these to do certain functions? i.e. One to be home, one to be radio, one to GPS, last one to be Google Music for example.
The default is home, gps, secondary menu and radio. I haven't figured out how to change them yet though
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Free mobile app
Ok, it might be a hack to change them then. Im waiting to order mine as the harness shown to come with the radio is not the harness I need for my Audi. Also been told that the new versions work fine with the SWC. Once I see a picture of what harnesses come with the new versions, I will make my final decision.
Anyone want to install CPU-Z to see what the actual hardware specs are??

If you do while on Wi-Fi, online validation will upload the specs and you can share the URL
valid.canardpc.com/a/ac5tun
Interesting it couldnt read the Frequency of the CPU... :-/
You can change the button layout by going to the calculator and type in !(123)= or !(786)=(look what works for you) and then chose the 4th option.
Can anybody share me the gps program they got with there device, mine was navione and its in chinese i dont understand anything of it.
Thanks in advance

hello i am looking for a low profile 3.5mm headphone jack IR emitter
i really like this one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-5mm-IR-Sm...964868?hash=item1c60135884:g:iWYAAOSwuYVWoAqP
i love the design of it and it is the only one i can find ,well one of the only ones i can find with a low profile that does not stick way our and look ridiculous (the other one looks nearly identical and comes witha keychain holder but the edge had rough spikes and it does not have BMW logo looking front face ,but appears to run on the same app ,but says IOS only)
problem i see many similar looking ones ,there are few on amazon that look the same but have different names and different branding, but they all seem to use the same app i guess, limited to only be able to be used with that one app
the other problem is that i see some that say it does not work with android and some that say it does and then the ones that say it works with android say it only works with certain phones
my question is does this work with android and will it work with this tablet? anyone tried one of these yet?
i do not understand why it would work with some phones/devices and not for others
i mean the app should run the same on all phones/ android devices and the 3.55 mm headphone jack can't be all that different from device to to device
but i have seen a bunch of mixed reviews from people saying it is either great or that it sucks and will not even work on any IOS device, i really want this product , i would like to use it on my fire 7 but also on my iphone 5c and i plan on upgrading to a nexus 6p soon so would like to know if anyone has used one of these and has tried it on any of those devices , but primarily right now i wont it for the fire, would be great since 3.55mm is at the top and this is nice and low profile
most of the ebay auctions and amazon ads for these say IOS only , but he app it uses is available for android as well and this one in the link i posted say it does work with android,most other say no android
the fire 7 i feel is a good shot since it does not have any fancy 3.55mm jack maybe the phones that don't work are because their jacks have mic support through the jack?
can anyone figure out why it would work with some phones and not others by looking at the list of supported devices in the link i provided and maybe tell if the fire 7 uses a similar jack as the list of supported devices or one that is the same as the listed devices that are specifically stated as not working?
I think for under 5 bucks, it's worth buying just to test yourself!

i know the thing is that there are so many that look nearly identical but have different brand names
5 or 6 bucks yes, some are nine or ten, and i know i will be protected by ebay or amazon the thing is that i would like to know if there is a dimes worth a difference between them all and if someone has already had a good experience with a particular one, i am not going to order the 10 or 15 different variations and test them all , just wondering if anyone has one , the fire 7 is a great device to use as a remote i use it for my other sony tv and my receiver both have wifi control apps and for my hue lights ,but there are a couple of things i can't control like my cable box and my old plasma tv
i am still swimming in remotes this thing would be a big help

Yeah I see your concern. Good luck in your search, sorry I can't help. Update if you ever figure it out though!
ok my IR emitter came in the mail today ,tested it on my iphone 1st, it didn't work on my panasonic TV but it works on my comcast motorola cable box and my LG air conditioner
then i tried it on the fire tablet ,the device is detected the headphone icon shows in resurrection remix rom
the zaza remote app says not compatible with your device in the app store so i downloaded it through blackmart and it installed
the android version is completely different from the IOS vesion
i tried to set it up to work with the cable box but i had no luck at all
i wonder why it won't work when the emitter is in it shows up as headphones plugged in ,i wonder if this app could be modified to work or if there is another app that works with this particular emitter ,this app kinda sucks a major brand like panasonic should have a working code, i cant even get power button working after going through all codes, the learning feature is useless and the forum is all in chinese, thought i cant see how this little thing could be used to detect IR signals i thought it was just a IR LED, when i try the learning feature it does not always detect the signal from the remote and sometimes it says signal detected when i have not even pressed any button on the remote some times it delays and don't say detected signal for minutes but every time it does and i try to play it back it never works
It is possible the jack on the fire is simply not passing enough voltage or is not passing it consistently enough. Many of these little IR dongles like this include a small button battery and transistor to make them work because of this common issue. Or it could legitimately be an issue with either the fire's hardware/firmware drivers specifically, or all of android in general if there is that much difference between the android and ios versions of the app.
If you don't have enough power for IR LED you can use VIPER4Android to amplify signal.
