Which is the best utility given the ms powertoy download wont't work with windows mobile 5.
I want to see my pda screen on my desktop.
It will work. A quick Google will show you how.
What PDA do you have?
This is what my Google search throws up. It works for the Charmer and Wizard.
- it works!!!!
In the directory you installed the Mobile Developer Power Toys, find the "Activesync Remote Display" directory and RTFM ......
Basically, all you need to do is copy the two files in "C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile Developer Power Toys\ActiveSync_Remote_Display\devices\wce400\armv4t" to the \WINDOWS directory on your WM5.0 device using ActiveSync.
When you fire up the shortcut for ActiveSync Remote Display on your PC, it *****es that "The OS or CPU of this device is unknown to this application" - just click Ok and your WM5.0 display will appear in the main window!!!! The first time that you start and stop the remote display, your phone/device will give you the "This program is from an unknown publisher...." message, so just say Yes and it won't ask you again.
The only caveat is that you seem to get the remote display icon (windows logo in a circle) in the notification area (where the battery and screen rotation icons are) one position to the left each time you stop and start the remote display. No big deal, but can look a bit weird after you've stopped/started about ten times
Give it a go - the quality of the display on the PC is as crap as ever (and zooming it only makes it worse), but it's still nice to be able to compose a message reply on a full size keyboard from time to time

Remote Display Control for Pocket PC
With the Remote Display Control application, you can display actions on a Pocket PC, including user input, remotely on the display of a desktop or laptop personal computer. This is a great tool for demonstrating the power of the Pocket PC to a large audience. It also allows developers to test their applications for the Pocket PC on a larger screen.
Remote Display Control uses TCP/IP, and it can work with ActiveSync connections via Ethernet or dial-up.
This download is intended for English Windows Powered Pocket PC only.

It works just fine with my 6700 (WM5)

Thanks
I made the mistake of installing via activesync.
Copied in those 2 files and it works.
I get 2 flower icons in the task bar.
May try installing again.
The display did look better when I last used this on a magician, dont think it is cut out for VGA.
Use EveryWAN free edition
The best software ive seen for more modern devices Remote Screen plus win mo 6.1 plus vista support is http://www.sparus-software.com/spip.php?page=download&lang=en
Called EveryWan Free its the dogs!
Another:
Also try this one, more simple than EveryWAN, but I use it all the time. The speed is similar to EveryWAN too. IMHO, the microsoft one is terrible.
http://www.mymobiler.com/
Mymobiler is the best. EveryWAN is next. Microsoft's is the worst.
Is there any way to remotely connect to my office desktop pc over tcp-ip from my htc wings (win mobile 6 standard)?
I know pcanywhere (mobile edition) but that works only with pocket-pc. Any solution for smartphone?
Any help much appreciated!
uhhh
...long time ago i ve seen an app Called PuppetMaster...LINK ,for like a remote controlling...or do you need any-file-acess-tru-Internet??The easiest way is to install any free FTP-Serversoftware like FireFTP...and then use the RescoExplorerFTP-or OrnetaFTP-or TotalCommanderFTP-Funcs..
Thanks for the tips, i'll check them out.
Actually, I did not mean an ftp client/server. I was/am hopping to -literally- see the monitor of a remote PC on the screen of my htc wings. Remote controlling and ftping is an additional plus.
Browsing over internet, I have yesterday found a possible solution in ultraVNC + VNCviewer. I tried but didnt work out so far...
any positive experience??
Use the "MouseMode" Feature of PuppetMaster...it will display your PC-Desktop on your SP-Display with a Crosshair in the middle, you can move around the Desktop-capture and do some actions like Mouseclicks and many more...try it, its really nice.
I'm pretty sure I'm the only person on the planet that actually has a set up like this... if I'm wrong, please post... there is no information out there about this old application.
I have a home surveillance system setup using 2 Q See DVR cards. Q See was nice enough to make a Windows Mobile 2003 application called "Pocket Camera" that connects to the Super DVR software used to record the cameras. You type in your IP and port, username and password and it connects to your home DVR system. Then it gives you a drop down list of the cameras you can view.
The software worked perfectly... until I got a VGA device. It only seems to work on qVGA. I know its a long shot... but does anyone know how to get this to work on a VGA device? The network portion works fine... it connects, authenticates and even gets the list of cameras. The software just has an issue rendering the video since (I think) it is expecting qVGA resolution.
Thanks!
Just wanted to post an update in case anyone is having this issue.
I emailed Qsee tech support and they actually called me back! I was amazed. It turns out that I was right and their old code does not support the new phones that have VGA resolutions. They said they were going to send this to their programmers for feedback. Hopefully they get it fixed, being able to view my cameras on my phone has been FANTASTIC.
If anyone has any idea on how to emulate a qvga screen on a vga device, please share.
I have not had any luck (as you had) with Q-see's tech support. In fact, it took nearly 5 weeks of daily emails and testing before they finally admitted to me that their software would not run on a vga device. Anyway, I installed ie 6.1 (I found a cab here) and it *for whatever reason* runs the pocket camera program.
pete
Since my last update, I've had horrible support from Q-See. They are not the strong customer service group I thought they were. I've had nothing but problems for the last 4 months... but I was just recently able to get this thing working on the vga touch pro 2 AND on windows XP.
I had to update to the newest version of SuperDVR, disable all of the activex protections so you can run their UNSIGNED ACTIVEX control. Why they refuse to sign the activex, I will never understand.
However, the cab that comes with the new SuperDVR actually works in VGA.
Basically, Q-See support sucks, but installing the new superdvr worked.
Did you have to buy the SuperDVR? I cannot find it on their website, or anywhere else for that matter.

Go to www.q-see.com and click on products
Then pick PC based DVR systems
Then pick your card
Then at the bottom, there is a table that has info in it. One of the column headers is "software".
Here is a direct link, but I don't know how long it will work. They seem to change their software direct links quite often and it keeps breaking my bookmarks.
Super DVR 6.2.2.4
PLEASE TRY IT ON DIFFERENT OS's AND DIFFERENT DEVICES AND LET US IN ON YOUR EXPERIENCE

At last. A remote control which doesn't require a server side client.. or.. to be more precise, it imitates a Bluetooth Mouse/Keyboard/Media controller, which means that your regular windows XP/Vista/7 (and maybe others?), your Mac OS, your PS3.. or your WM PDA can be controlled without installing additional server side clients.
I'll save you the trouble of multiclicking all kinds of screenshots and youtube videos - http://www.mobilesrc.com/MobileRemote.aspx.
MobileRemote isn't free and costs 8.99$/11.99$ - prices based on something i can't really figure out.
BUT, and that's a serious BUT, the main features of MobileRemote (from now on MR) - which are Keyboard and Mouse are EXTREMELY useful. the mouse feature, unlike in Salling's Salling Clicker, is much more precise because while Salling's mouse covers the entire screen, MR covers a specific range which makes the mouse very useful even on VGA devices. The mouse also has 2 left/right buttons, unlike in salling which requires a tap on the screen itself.
The keyboard is HUGE, has a nice LCDLike display when typing, has all kinds of symbols and shortcut keys matching windows (and Mac, it seems).. ctrl..alt..shift... and so forth.
There's also a G-Sensor Mouse which allows you to move your mouse when tilting your phone (or using the D-PAD).
In addition, there is a MediaPlayer/MediaCenter controller which allows basic actions like play, pause, fast forward, fast rewind, and track switching.
Now to the neat stuff.
MR allows you to record macros of movements and clicks to have your comp perform actions instantaneously. You can record.. and then load.
This can save you a lot of time if you're looking to "add" additional features of the app.
Feedback(?)
- The tilt mouse's resolution isn't good. it'll be be a tad jumpy.. and this is based on me trying.. not on that youtube video you can watch in their webpage.
- The keyboard is nearly perfect. I can honestly tell you I've never used such a comfortable and well adjusted keyboard. yes, it is a full screen keyboard, but as it's meant to control another device rather than your own, I guess it's important to have it respond fast enough and that you wouldn't have to delete 2 chars every 4 seconds. The keyboard also supports Portrait/Landscape modes to make everything even more comfortable. You also get typing feedback, somewhat like FingerKeyboard.
- The mouse.. it's almost like using your laptop's pad. Percise, clear, and even includes a scrolling bar on the right side. Tried that as well.. very well built.
- Reponse time for all features is very good. I tried a few minutes of excessive typing and moving and clicking. All went well.
- Pairing could be a ***** if not performed correctly, but following the instructions makes it easy enough. Oh, by the way, pairing might have to be redone if you already paired your device with your PC/MAC/PS3/PDA as it requires your device to be identified as a mouse and keyboard as well, rather than just a phone.
- Resolutions. right now, MR only supports QVGA/VGA resolutions. keep that in mind.
Comparison
Well, I won't waste your time comparing MR to any other Remote Control other than Salling since i don't see the point.
To make things clear, Salling Clicker and MobileRemote are different.
Yes, Salling Clicker allows you to write scripts, use XML based files to do pretty much everything you want and it can serve you better using Winamp, MediaPlayer, BSPlayer, system based options, etc.
What Salling doesn't offer (yet), is VGA support (although just a week ago or so, a member in Xda-devs changed the exe file to have bigger buttons, which i'm working with, but it isn't perfect), PS3/PDA support, and a decent mouse and keyboard, which is widely needed.
I use Salling to control my media, because there isn't a better competitor yet (not even G-Remote, which I also love, but doesn't support Winamp, which would be a basic feature in any remote control in my eyes), but for Mouse/Keyboard, I wouldn't think twice. 10$ isn't too much to pay if you really need it.
I have been asked more than thrice, if there's a mobile remote which doesn't require a server side client...
Well... here you go.

Works on Topaz against
1. Windows Vista ultimate 64 bit & 7 Ultimate 64 bit !
DOESNT work on Rhodium for some reason
Thanks for the heads-up! I may update my Media Controller bible with the new app.
you're invited to remove the sticky if you move this to another thread. no point in having this in 2 different places and taking up space.
BTW, in what configuration did you test it?
I've tested it on my HTC Universal and x51v (bot running WM6.1 and the MS BT stack - Widcomm isn't supported) against two (BT discoverable) Win XP desktops (Thinkpad a31p and HP TC1100). It didn't find the desktops at all. Did you have similar issues?
I ran it on a Diamond against a Toshiba Laptop running Vista with MS Stack and a Windows 7 Desktop with that new weird BT interface microsoft are running).
both worked.
Notice you need to pair the device from the pc WHILE running the pairing process in MobileRemote.
I might create a video to show how to pair.
I managed to pair with an ASUS EEE PC 1000HE running WinXP and a WIDCOMM driver and it works perfectly.

Thanks, this may have been the problem - I thought it would find all the desktops, without my pairing it from the desktops.
I suggest we list the OS's and device types it works on...
OS/Device list started. please let me know which device you use and if it at all works.
please list (as i did), the OS, Stack and type of PC.
I'd also like to know if you tried pairing to another device like another PDA or PS3..
thanks
FULL VER...
$8.99 ???????????????? is too high for me
i need full ver ..
any idea ???

If drag & drop is needed, can MobileRemote do that ?
It seems multi-touch is required (not supported in WM)
Thanks in advance.
why would you need multi-touch for drag and drop?

In MobileRemote, how to move mouse pointer when when left button is pressed and held ?
hehe.. just tried it and it didn't work. didn't notice that before and i've been using it for quite a while now. apparently, it wasn't as important to me as it is to you.
I will bring it up with the programmer.
there is a drag and drop but unfortunately i need you hold down the left click on the mouse option of the program. I say 3 sec or so. That's the best its going to get for now other than that i have no complaints about this awesome program, AND I am using MR to write this so there u go...
MOD EDIT:
WAREZ WILL NOT BE TOLERATED IN THIS FORUM!
warned!
so i have an xperia which i connect to my bluetooth enabled navigation systm in my car. since the phones blutooth is able to connect, is it logival to think that this program would allow me to use the phone as a wireless remote?
Do i understand that you're trying to confirm your bluetooth is working correctly? because regardless.... there's no reason why it wouldn't work just like on any other phone with bluetooth.
Topaz & Rhodium
Topaz (Diamond2) working fine onboth windows Vista ultimate 64 bit & 7 Ultimate 64 bit !
Rhodium (Touch Pro2) not working on either platform. I have version 1.1, and it cant connect to the new bluetooth stack.
Crap.... rhodium/fuze would be the 2 obvious choices for this software....
I made some research on how to display a cursor on Android. As a result of that, and thanks for popular request, I finally developed a freeware Android app, for Android OS 4.0 or newer that lets you choose a customized, bigger size cursor. It can be used both with OTG Cable/USB Mouses and with Bluetooth mouses. Those interested can find it on Google play, search for BigMouse. The good news is it doesn't need root! So it's just a user-level app that does all the job easy.
It's a bit of a hack - I am using a clever mechanism to detect the original mouse location, and draw the bigger overlay cursor image on top of that location.
Link to original article / research work here: http://www.pocketmagic.net/2012/07/android-overlay-cursor/ (if not ok with site rules, please remove the link, but leave the rest, as it solves the cursor problem). Let me know how it works on your devices, I tested it on several, both phones and tablets.
