Hi, I was just wondering if it is possible to use the Fuze as a GPS tethered to a laptop. Has anyone tried this with something like MS Streets and Trips?

Hey everyone. I'm looking for a way to turn my Hermes into a mobile hotspot. Be rather handy to make my PSP playable online wherever I happen to be sitting, like work for example....
Does anyone know of a way to do this? Internet connect allows me to connect via USB or Bluetooth, but not WiFi, so if there's a workaround or a magical piece of software that will allow this to happen, I'd love to hear about it.
Cheers Team

2 quick questions for people who may have them i have RDP working i can connect from my work computer to my home (actually my roomates home) but when it comes to connecting from my phone im having no luck.
Im connected to the HSDPA network via ATT on a Tilt, Anyone know what may be preventing that connection?

Any help on these small things would be appreciated.
Hi Guys,
complete newby, know-nothing-boy here.
Got my xda orbit and just trying to get it all set up the way I want it to work. this is not easy given that I am a complete technophobe so everything's a massive learning curve.....
.....so, I got my orbit 2 connected to my works pc through Active sync and it talks to the calendar and everything appears to be fine and I've set up a bluetooth connection and can beam a file from my laptop to the phone. However, I cannot get my calendar/emails to up-date through bluetooth and neither me nor our IT guy can figure out why not!!!!
Can any guru on here help please.
Thanks,
David
Have you downloaded the new Mobile Device Center? Is your Laptop running XP or Vista? When I last sync'd with an XP machine via bluetooth, I could not sync contacts etc either, only worked with Vista for me.

Hi David,
1. You have to pair your Touch with XP
2. Create a incoming port.
3. select the incoming port in active sync for connection
4. start activesync on touch
if you need further info please use the search function.
Best Regards

David,
I feel for you sir.
I've been a PDA / Pocket PC user for a LONG time. I've used a Kyocera 6035 (Palm-based Cell/PDA), Sprint 6601, Sprint 6700, AT&T 8525, and even a BlackJack II. So I've used Windows XP with a Pocket PC LOTS of times, but *I* had trouble while in Chicago this week.
A co-worker lent me his Sony VGX-UX280 for that trip. It's a Ultra Portable "laptop" with Bluetooth, Wireless, and Windows XP loaded. Having setup my phone to "tether" (aka provided an Internet Connection) to my Dell Inspiron 9400, a MacBook Pro, a MacBook, and other laptops... I didn't have any concerns about using my phone for Internet on the road. Boy, was that a mistake.
So I'm on the road, and I try to use Internet Sharing on my cell to provide a connection the laptop. It seems to connect, and the laptop tries to pull an IP connection over bluetooth, but it NEVER got a private IP address... so it assigns itself a 169 address that as many know isn't a "connected" IP for most network situations. It's a fallback, when a network device can't find a DHCP server to provide an IP address. Instead, it assigns one to itself, but it's offline.
I confirm that the "sharing" is part of the problem by running Internet Explorer. When "sharing" is connected", I couldn't get to a web page on the phone. If I disconnect, everything works as it should. So I'm like WTF?
I came out to this site and others from my phone browser, and one post said I needed ActiveSync connected between the phone and laptop to tether. So I tried setting up ActiveSync over bluetooth, but try as I might if would NEVER connect.
I then downloaded WMWifi something or other. It basically turns your WM phone into a Wireless AP so laptops and other devices can connect to the Internet. But similar to the Bluetooth problem, I couldn't pull an IP. This was VERY odd, because the Wifi program let you configure which IP numbers you wanted to use. Several options were available, such as 192.168.0.x, 192.168.1.x, up to 192.168.3.x. And there was another range as well, but none of these worked. Not even when I set a static IP address in the proper range on the laptop, or turned off the IP setting in the Wifi program, as suggested in their documentation.
So while trying to "fix" things, I tried deleting my existing Activesync profile. BAD idea, as that deleted all my contacts and such from the phone. So then I'm in Chicago, 2000 miles from home, and the only phone numbers I have with NO names is what is in my call history.
At this point, I figure I have one of two problems.
1) The config to the AT&T network on my cell is wrong, which is why the connection isn't working as it had in the past. I do know that while the AT&T settings auto-configured by the Touch Cruise weren't perfect after the wizard ran. I went out to AT&T's web site, and customized my settings to match the Tilt recommended configure. I also configured a "standard" GPRS setting that DOES NOT use the AT&T Proxy Server. That's been the ONLY way I can use Skype .6, as it can't connect to their website through Media Net.
2) One of the many programs I've installed on my phone has fouled the registry/config of my phone. I made a list of all the apps I've installed on my phone, and I suppose any one of these could have screwed up my ability to tether...
Skyfire .6
Flash Player Active X
CoreCodec Coreplayer
HTC HTC Home - Schen 2.10
MS Remote Desktop
Bluefire
Total Commander
PM Registry Editor
iNav iGuidance
Franson GpsGate 2.0
Google Maps
With the above, I can navigate anywhere in the US, connect to my work network with VPN, control my computer there like I was in my chair, and much more. But obviously not being able to get to the Internet on the road is unacceptable.
Probably will hard reset the phone this morning, and take it from there.
Sorry if it seems like I took over your thread. But like you, I had NO luck connecting ActiveSync through Bluetooth.
(Quick note: Even when I borrowed a USB Cable on the road, and tried to tether my laptop to my phone for Internet... I STILL couldn't get IE to connect to websites via my phone. I COULD use Activesync, but by then I'd already lost my contacts, etc. So I'll get that back on the phone now that I'm home.)
UPDATED INFO:
I am a captionist for the deaf/hard of hearing and I use my laptop to type and give my client my phone to view what I'm typing. I am at different locations all the time. The way it has worked conveniently in the past for me is by bluetooth activesync connection and Innobec Sidewindow to use my phone as an extended display. I can no longer do that after updating from XP to windows Vista, so I am looking for alternatives.
Did you try Remote Desktop? That worked for me in Vista and 7

I'll be honest. I have a hard time setting up remote desktop, port forwarding, IP addresses, and all that. Can it be done through bluetooth?
I will be using this for my laptop and windows mobile phone to take to work at different locations. So I will be on the go the whole time. Will remote desktop be for me?
Also, I'm using Vista Home Premium, so is the Remote Desktop that came with my windows mobile phone even an option, or would I have to have Vista Ultimate?
it can be don using pan bluetooth but not bluetooth network connection over activesync
as when one take over the desktop the user is log'd out and that ends the activesync session

Thanks for that info. So I can do this with Vista Home right? I don't need Ultimate?
Can you please provide some info on how to go about setting up PAN bluetooth and remote desktop, or a link to some good info even. Thanks..
Edit: Is having a PAN bluetooth the same thing as having my device paired with my computer?
Well after 6 hours of trying to figure out how to remote desktop via bluetooth, I've given up. I got stuck trying to set up PAN bluetooth, since I could not find the option for PAN Bluetooth anywhere; I only found LAN Bluetooth Network. My bluetooth device must not support it.
I'm still desperately looking for alternatives if anybody has any ideas, otherwise I'll have to resort to installing XP and do it with Innobec Sidewindow like I've done in the past. I was hoping I didn't have to downgrade from Vista though.
VNC for windows mobile won't work ?

VNC is remote desktop right? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I would need to have access to the internet in order to do this right? Can it be done via bluetooth?
Okay, regardless of that - I will attempt to do this if you can help me. If you have experience in this, can you tell me specific programs I will need to download for my phone and/or my laptop and I will try to go from there. Thanks.
Edit: I've updated the first post with more details on what I'm looking for.
As I'm looking further into VNC, I want to repeat that the computer I would be accessing through my phone will be taken to different locations with me while I'm at work. I'm only reading of features about having remote access to computers at home, or some fixed location. So I don't know if VNC is for me. Please let me know if that's correct, otherwise I will look further into it.
I tell ya, I'm real dedicated. I've been on this since I posted at 10am this morning and I've learned lots so far.
VNC seems to be a cool feature and I've successfully connected my laptop with my phone with my WLAN. I've still yet to figure out if I can do it without a wireless router or internet connection, using just bluetooth or wifi adapter. If anybody here has the answer, please let me know.
Thanks.
Is there a program or way i can use remote desktop without having a router connect to my laptop. So using the built in wifi on the laptop to connect to my HD2.
Or even bluetooth..
Just an idea as I can't have a router here at uni.
are you trying to basically surf the web from your laptop using your HD2?
you need something like internet sharing which is available on the Device itself (its a standard Windows thing). you need to set it up though, and of course make sure your device has internet access (GPRS/whatever connection methods).
Nah not using the internet, but to view and control my pc from my phone over wifi.
gotcha. why would you wanna do that?
but anyway...dont think it is possible like that as the wireless on the laptop will not act as a DHCP (like a router does) to give an IP to clients who are connecting to it.
It would be cool though to be able to use it as a remote control to perhaps skip or play music etc. But connecting through wifi would be impossible i think.
I recall with my old old old sony ericsson phone I could connect to my computer using a bluetooth dongle and control music and even the mouse cursor...such an awesome feature. A bluetooth program for the HD2 would be good providing you have a bluetooth dongle.
funny you should mention an app like that as I developed an app a few years ago which does just that called WMP Remote.
basically, you connect it via bluetooth or wireless (as long as you get an activesync connection going, or even wireless with a router) and then get a list of files from a certain directly, play/pause/vol up/down from the Mobile application and play files in full screen and so on....
haven't updated it in a LONG time but was a big hit back then.
also developed another app called DAR~ling, which is a Digital Audio Recorder

It looks an awesome App, but does not work with WM6.5 & Windows 7 (not sure which one cause the issue).
IMHO worth some re-development and putting on Windows Market Place $$$ I'd buy.
Ben
aww, thats encouraging mate! Thanks!
not sure why it doesnt run on your devices? I ran it on my Samsung omnia which runs WM 6.1 - works fine.
I've also got a WM5 device...works fine on that. the issues are just the screen display!
I have been meaning to "start" the project again but just had no time at all. been so busy.
HELLO
T2 REMOTE TOUCH
Very nice program. I use it to do anything to my computer because I'm too lazy to get down of the bed. I use it when it was beta and the only bad thing was that he only had color mode for free
Anyway if you can manage to create a wireless network connection (AD-HOC) with designeted IP's it's going to work. I don't know about the port dough.
Anyway, I have windows XP, and I don't know very much about win7's configuration.
GOOD LUCK
