Hi, I wonder if anyone could advise me here?
I am looking at buying a PDA (have been looking at a TyTN 2) it´s main use will be for connecting to my PC when I am away from home.
I have tried an iphone with logmein ignition which was OK but I prefer something with buttons I can press rather than a touch screen!
The most important thing for me is that I need the fastest possible program to connect the two devices. In your experience what would be the fastest method of connection? would an off the shelf application like logmein be fast or is there a faster method like a dedicated VPN tunnel or such like?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum
If you trying to connect to a remote computer from your PDA the best way is logmein (At least for me)
If it´s to connect PDA and lap top in the same place use WMDC or Activesync
Hi
I don´t need to control the pc at home. My partner will be at home and will be working on the pc. I will be in a different city or country. The PDA will be linked to the pc through wifi or 3g and at certain intervals I will need to press "enter" which will then activate "enter" on the pc. In effect I will be using the PDA as a mouse.
The important factor is the time delay between me pressing the button and it registering on the pc. I want this to be as close to real time as possible.
Any suggestions what would be the best way of setting this up?
Many thanks
I use realvnc to connect to my computer that's running ultravnc. Its in real time and allows me to do just about anything i need to do remotely.

Assuming you're running Windows XP, right click My Computer, and click Properties, and select the remote tab.
Is the tick in the box to allow users to connect remotely to it? If so, is the user you are trying to connect with enabled?

Wrong way around - I think he is trying to control his PDA with his PC. In this case, the default programs that come with the PDA can't do it.
I wonder, can you get a VNC server for PDA's....
Ah ok, I assumed he knew what the remote desktop app was for lol.
OK, search for an application called Soti Pocket Controller.
That controls the PPC from your PC.
The remote desktop app is to control your PC from your PPC.
RDM wm6 and vista
i cant connect to my vista laptop using remote desktop on my hermes.
Error: cannot connect
likely reasons:
1: the remote computer is not set up for this
2: reached max number of connections
3: network error
pretty sure its not the last 2
i cant seem to add user to remote desktop on laptop
any ideas or a step by step?

of course you can (just google it up), but every single one I've seen to date dates back to 2004 and before.

I have a new job that requires a piece of software on my phone to be connected to the internet constantly... kills my phone's battery in 4 hours. I was hoping there was a way to run the software on my PC while I am at home, so I am not burning through batteries all day! Any ideas?

also if your pda is connected to the power source it dont use the battery
That one is great if the app will run on WM5.
If you need WM6, here's what you want.

Either of you happen to know if they emulated WM can connect to the internet?
never tried those 2 standalone but the one in visual studio can be setup to have the same network as the pc it's connected to

You can, indeed, connect your emulated device to the Internet. To do that, you will need this:

Also, V2 of Device Emulator has some bug fixes and improvements over V1, so you want to give that a shot:

Hi there,
I am looking for a program that will let me connect my Fuze to PC and be able to read texts and send text out without having to reach over to the phone and use the phone. Motorola has a program but cant remember what its called or if it will work with the HTC Fuze. If anyone knows of a program that will do this please let me know. I am constantly unplugging the phone and texting and then connecting it back up or just using the phone with the cable connected. Not fun.
Thank For your time
many such free programs

how can i connect my htc internet to my laptop so that i used mobile net on laptop,please help
You can tether through USB or Bluetooth. Easiest is USB (also saves battery life on your phone). You need to connect the phone to the laptop through the USB cable, then use the program Internet Connection Sharing on your phone, click Connect. You should be good to go.
problem in opera browser
there is something wrong in my opera browser.it does not open when i click my browser.the speed of my phone is also very slow.as there any body to help me in this case or simple help me in installing new window.plzzzz
Where are you clicking when you say "click my browser". Are you invoking it from the M2D interface or is it from the Programs menu?
Exactly what is slow, surfing the web? Navigating phone menus? You need to be a bit more specific if you expect to get any help. Read the forums, a lot of your problems are probably due to the ROM you are using and performance tips that can be applied.
Also I don't know what installing new window means. Please clarify your questions.
I am looking for a tweak\tool\registry hack (if possible) to have a Charge Only Mode for Windows Mobile 6.5 if at all it is possible. Most of the times, I am at office using my HD2 (Dual boot with 6.5 and DarkStone Android ) connected to the Laptop and it would be great if I can just connect it to my laptop without choosing either of the three options
1. ActiveSync
2. USB Storage Mode
3. Internet Sharing
P.S : I did lot of search for this option but was unable to find it and hence started this thread...but I will be more than happy if anyone can redirect me to an existing thread if any, for the same issue.
When your phone is charging off the laptop do you actually use any apps on it?
I'm like you in that I spend 2 days a week with my phone charging from the laptop, but I never use it for anything other than phone calls, so selecting disk drive does the job for me.
Any apps I'd need, I'd make sure were installed on the device.

Better use the active sync or the mass storage mode..As it is you wont be needing to install apps on your memory card thanks to the massive storage of the HD2 compared to the older WM devices...This shouldn't be a problem IMHO...
Cheers.
Ive got a really easy fix for this, just use a different cable, you can get cables or adaptors that will charge only and wont sync. When you want to sync just change the cable or take off the adaptor.
btw... such an adaptor is only £2.50 from amazon for my phone

This doesn't stop the action as such, but when you connect your phone to PC, with the 3 options you listed, there should be a a check box at the bottom "Don't ask me again", so whatever you choose will automatically happen next time (choosing USB storage will therefore not ativate ActiveSync/Device Centre on your PC. This can also be found under Settings->Other (miscellaneous settings)->USB to PC (see attachment).
Or, just use a wall socket charger?
Hi,
Thanks for your replies ! The reason I asked this question is because I do not have a Data Plan on Phone. I only use Wifi at home and office and Active Sync kills it. Data storage mode won't let me use the Storage which I kinda need (Don't ask me why? ) and ofcourse Internet sharing Mode just sends the phone into a crazy 'Connecting 3G Network'...loop.
Anyways, I think using the Charge Only Cable should do the trick for now..But I still feel that this mode will be helpful for few rares like me...Love tis mode in Android.

ActiveSync does not kill my Wifi - make sure the 'Allow wireless connections on device...' is checked under File->Connections Settings. Also ActiveSync should allow your phone to use your PC's internet connection (pass through) anyway.
The other thing to try is to delete the mobile device from within ActiveSsync as if you've never synced it before and when you next connect it it will ask you to set up a relationship but click cancel and - viola - should now just charge.

No "Allow Wireless Connection on Device" option. I am using Windows 7.. Not sure if it is present in WMDC.
ActiveSync Passthrough does not work..I am on a encrypted network with authentication based Proxies..whole bunch of them.....
I do not want to kill the ActiveSync relationship since it syncs everything with my PC.
I think I am bothering a lot over this stupid requirement.. so I will just close this thread (If I can) but if I find anything I will post it here, for someone else who might be in similar situation.
Thanks anyways...XDA rocks !!!
