LogMeIn + Windows Mobile 6.5 / 6.1.4 Problems - General Questions and Answers

Hello Guys,
I recently contacted the LogMeIn Mobile support team and there are lots of people here which has problems using Logmein with your phone. Here is their reply:
--
Hello,
You can use a Windows Mobile device to connect to your LogMeIn computer.
Device requirements:
Windows Mobile 5/6/6.1
Touch Screen
ARM CPU
You must use Pocket Internet Explorer as third party browsers are not compatible with the LogMeIn Remote Control plug-in. You must also use the generic Windows Mobile keyboard, as specialized software keyboards may not transmit characters correctly.

Samsung Omnia i910
Samsung Saga SCH-i770
Samsung SCH-i760
Samsung SGH-i830
Note: If you're unable to use your HTC Touch Pro's keyboard during a remote control session, this is due to a key mapping problem brought upon by the device's eT9 text prediction software. While we do not directly support this, you can find other users' best practices and workarounds on the LogMeIn Community http://community.logmein.com.
Also, we have discovered an issue when connecting to a LogMeIn computer using a mobile device running Windows Mobile 6.1.4 / 6.5 and IE6 Mobile. Currently, it is NOT possible to connect with these devices due to incompatibility with the plug-in.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.

Oops, okay.

So have they fixed this yet?

LogMeIN IE6/8 workaround
I have found a work around there is an ap called I.E. Toggle I got from PPCGeeks.com that allows you to switch back to Pocket IE from IE6. This is a great tool and use it just for this, best of all you dont need to soft reset it does it on the fly.

No joy in Win Mobile 6.5
I had logmein working nicely in win mobile 6.1 using IE Toggle, unfortunately having upgraded to 6.5 it no longer works.
When I log into logmein using PIE it directs me to download and install the RACtrlCE plugin but when I go to the link it downloads RACtrlCE.tsk (which does nothing useful) rather than RACtrlCE.cab like it used to. I tried installing it from a cab I had but that didn't work either so after searching around I ended up here. I guess logmein and 6.5 is still a no go, I have contacted logmein support to ask if they have an eta on a fix.
I really wish they'd just do a stand alone app for windows mobile, it would be so much easier.

I was actaully able to run logmein using IE toggle and a cooked rom on my TP2 using WM 6.5.1 (one of the *energy* roms). Although I just re-flashed to another rom that was more stable overall running WM 6.5 and now encounter the same problem described above. I am directed to the .tsk instead of .cab for the plugin, which does nothing...

wow. thank you. logmein finally works on my samsung saga. i am however very dissapointed in the support from logmein. i had an email chain with their support dept about the issue with windows mobile 6.1 . First they said it works, then i finally got them to achnoledge that logmein has an issue with wm 6.1 . After that they would not even respond to my emails. I would ask them when they expected a fix and no answer at all.
i wish there was an alternative to logmein other than rdp or others that require port forwarding .

I've now found that if you rename the downloaded RACtrlCE.tsk file to RACtrlCE.cab it will install and then logmein will work using IE toggle. Hope that helps you out.

I got logmein to work on my TP2 WM65. I installed PIE
Rebooted the device.
Then installed IE Toggle
Launched IE Toggle and selected Pocket IE and went to logmein
Logged in installed the plug in and it worked.
Sorry if this was posted previously.

Spoke to soon, there is an issue with it that I could not fix. After loading these cabs Logmein did indeed work.
However the changes caused my TP2 to not be able to display text conversations. You click on a text message and it would display the keyboard and say one conversation selected but you were still seeing the default list of texts, you couldn't see what you were typing? SMS messaging still worked but you couldn't use the default conversations lists.
I have since removed all the cabs for logmein and SMS messages are displaying perfectly again?

This cab breaks the text messaging, it seems: XDA WM 6.1 P.I.E For WM6.CAB.
I'm able to get everything working if I don't install that cab. My only issue is that the key mapping with KforTouchPro_v1.0.0.3.CAB (which I believe is needed also) isn't quite perfect, from what I can tell.

SOLUTION - this works
Heres a solution for those of you who have been finding that logmein wants to download RACtrlCE.cab file to install on your phone and that this doesnt seem to do anything, it wont install. Heres why. Youll love this, its actually quite simple.
When the file downloads it says its a cab file, which should by all rights install, however on my phone it brings up the "Windows Mobile Today" which allows you to select backgrounds/screensavers for your mobile. Why? Its because when it saved the file it put a hidden .tsk on the end a on windows mobile file name extensions like .tsk .jpg .avi etc are hidden from you so all you get is the name of the file but not its .jpg bit so "john.jpg" becomes just "john"... its named the file RACtrlCE.cab.tsk but your mobile doesnt show you this file name is says its a .cab so this is why it doesnt fire up.
So what you need to do is rename the RACtrlCE.cab.tsk back to RACtrlCE.cab and it will run.
2 WAYS TO DO THIS....
Sync your device on your pc or mac and use "explore" to get in to your mobile folders from your computer and find RACtrlCE.cab.tsk and on a PC it will show the needed .tsk bit
**(provided your PC views mode isnt set to hide filetypes - if it is go to windows explorer on pc, tools menu at the top of screen, folder options, and untick "hide extensions for known file types". If your on Win7 youl find the folder options in CONTROL PANEL... does the same thing)**
Right so now you can see your RACtrlCE.cab.tsk and youve renamed it RACtrlCE.cab unhook the phone from pc and go to the folder where RACtrlCE.cab is and click it and hey presto, it installs perfectly.
Now the next bit is to use the IE6 toggle software if your getting problems and this will allow you to switch from IE6mobile to PocketIE6 which can run the logmein application. (IE6 toggle page is listed earlier in this same thread
METHOD2:
Oh yes if you want to do this renaming of the file on your phone without PC connected, "File Explorer" wont show you the .tsk bit on the end, its hidden and always will be because "file explorer" is dumbed down. What you need is a tool called "total commander" which I think is free (?). Install this and its a powerful file explorer which does show you the .tsk bit which you can easily rename to just .cab and then you can double click the file RACtrlCE.cab in total commander and hey presto the .cab installs.
Hopefully this fix will blow you away.
This was done on a HTC Touch HD2 phone with original T-Mobile ROM unlocked and put on to the latest generic HTC official ROM.

Problems accessing logMeIn via pocket pc

Hi I am having a problem accessing my pc from my pocket pc XDA 2i. I can access fine from a "normal" pc with no problems. From the XDA I can log in, then pick the remote pc from the my computers list, then enter my password and username, but the next page which would normally be the desk top, is a page showing the logmein free logo the name of the remote pc, a copyright notice, and an option to end the remote session. I cannot get any further than that !............hope you can help...........Thank you.
P.S. I am running NetFront 3.3 browser

Try it from Pocket Internet Explorer.
Hi, I have tried it with Internet Explorer, and I get the same result
I have e-mailed LogMeIn support 7 days ago but still no answer
I've tried as well on my treo 750 and am having the same problem. I thought I read somewhere that the current version of logmein is not compatible with WM5. It works great between my computer at work and home though.

It's comptible with WM5 as is also pointed out in the Remote Desktop Access Bible ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=288506 ).
I've tried everything and cannot seem to get logmein to work. I log in to the website and then enter the login and password for my desktop computer and all I get is a screen showing the version of window I am using along with some memory usage bars. I can restart or my computer remotely, but that is all I seem to be allowed to do. As I mentioned before I don't have any problems accessing my computer from other desktop computers. One thing I have found is Z2 remote access. It's a bit slow, but works pretty well. The only thing is that it is not free, but it is only a one time fee for the software.
I'm thinking that this might me a browser issue. At least for me. If I use minimo I can at least get to the page that says remote control and end remote session. However when i click on it ends up going to a blank screen with nothing there. Can anyone who has this working tell me what their registry setting are for PIE, as far as showing it to be a PPC app rather than IE5. I think that I've modified it a few time and don't know what the default settings ar.
Hi There is no line saying "Remote Control" unfortunatley
Hi I tried modifying the settings, now its gone very strange, when I select my computer I know get connected to Remotely Anywhere, then a page showing text saying Windows XP, cpu load (No percent shown), Memory load ( no persent shown), Main menu, Reboot, end remote session. But I dont have a remotely anywhere account....very weird
Hey 600bhp. You might want to check on the logmein.com forums. There are two threads. One is titled " Problems accessing via pocket pc" and the other is " Why is Pocket PC no longer supported?" It would seem that logmein does not support ppc's for some reason if you downloaded it after 02/20. logmein is aware of the problem and apparently working on it.
LogMeIn Cab File for Pocket PC
I have been having a lot of the same issues. I have a PRO account so I called technical support. They sent me the following file. I've been connecting like a champ ever since. I use the bleeding edge beta version on my PC. This file also works with the regular version.

Yep that's the cab mine downloaded yesterday - unless it's been modified?
Anyway if it's the same then I agree works perfectly.

Are you TREO 750 owners still having issues? I'd like to know as I was
thinking of trying the 750 but need LMI for sure!
I know one this for sure the OPERA browser on PPC (WM5) will just go in loops, so LMI is the only thing I use IE for on my WM5 device(s).
Having have said that if the IE is somehow custom on the Treo 750? Could that be it??
logmein access issue
I'm using my HTC p3600 and trying to download the remote access client sw no chance to obtain it, dwl stopped.

Thanks

I have a Treo 750 with the official ATT WM6 rom. I cant get logme in to work either. Here's what happens.
1) I visit http://logmein.com via pocket IE
2) I get redirected to http://secure.logmein.com/pda
3) I log in with my email address and password
4) I'm presented with "My Computers" and I click on a hyper link of one.
5) I'm asked to download RACtrlCE.cab
6) I save and install to main memory
7) I click the continue link on IE
8) I'm asked to log in again
9) I'm presented with "My Computers" again
10) I pick one, I'm asked to log in again!!!
11) I see "My Computers" again (endless loop)
What's wrong??
Gotomypc worked great when I used to have a free account through my work. Why doesnt logmein work on my pda?
update
I uninsatlled the RACtrlCE.cab via remove programs
I installed the ractrlce.cab from page two of this thread
I tested logmein.com on my treo. When it asked to download and insatll RACtrlCE.cab I clicked cancel to force it to use the other package. (no luck) Ok so I let it upgrade. It uninstalled ractrlce and installed the one directly from logmein once again.
It seems I can get further now for some reason but I'm still not connecting. Here's what I see now. I get redirected to the following url and the page has the following info:
http://asterisk.app53.logmein.com

Know issues and recommendations;
No performance tweaks needed in my opinion
I recommend over clocking the rom [battery-status] to 247 MHz instead of applying performance tweaks ,performance tweaks take away ram…….were over clocking comes at very little loss of battery especially if you use the auto scale function.
THIS rom has no parts from any current wm6 rom,this is a real WWE wizard rom ,all the parts needed to make it as a full rom were sourced from my 3.3.
Battery status cannot be configured from today options control panel…….but you can configure it by pressing and holding the battery icon in battery-status today plug in.
the rom may be bit slower because i did not applied any performance tweaks....plus the rom is fully loaded so we cant compare to other roms.....i mean this roms has everything working.....its like comparing a loaded truck to an empty one..
the device may crash when it reboots for the first time at the welcome screen if you don't tap it straight away....just reset the device with the stylus and it will be fine. this is because there is apps loading in the background.
a vanilha version will be released soon.
many thanks to mamaich BEPE AND dr.P FOR ALL THE Support and all the authors/xda of the freware apps.... a specialy.....my wife that lend her wizard to me in order to finish this rom,and for putting up with the many hours i ignored her.....

The ROM image doesn't really care whether you're using Windows XP or Windows Vista. Without knowing the details, I'm guessing that the problems you're having have to do with the new security "features" of Windows Vista.
What you'll need to do is once you've downloaded the ROM image to a location on your local hard drive, right-click on the file and select "Run as Administrator". You will be prompted to "Allow" or "Cancel", select "Allow" and you should be OK from that point forward.

Not really, the problem I had was , it started to upgrade and when the phone restarted and the rainbow appeared the connection was lost between PC and phone.
I hope I was able to explain it correctly.
Thanks Faria for your reply.
Am I allowed a joke?
It could be a bit scary to see a new rom published and read the following in your signature:

The issue you are havings is a known issue. The flash utility looks for ActiveSync, and since Vista does not use ActiveSync but its own mess, you wont be able to flash with Vista.
Can anyone provide a mirror link?
Ok before Faria gets slammed with posts about the flash freezing at 99%.... this is normal. All ROM's (Even releases by HTC or your carrier) have a point when it looks frozen but its not.
Also one thing I have seen is that people expect these things to be perfect OOB (out of box), this is never the case. There will always be a few little kinks and if you read the forum you will either find the answer in this post or another. So read before you post.
On another note, faria I love this release. So far no issues seen, but i will run the phone hardcore as i usually do to see if there are any issues. Thanks again for all your hardwork in putting this release out.
Some people who where trying to update to WM6 on Smartphones like Dash had a problem with "Invalid Code ID"... (me as well).
The procedure to solve the prob was to use the "Unlocker" program provided by some companies, disconnect cable when it asked for a file, close the program and continue to flash with "modded files" (the modded files were specific to the "vendor ID" prob).
Whe you run the unlocker, ActiveSync disconnects, at least looks so.
In this case my "noobish" mind could think the unlocker is actually handling by itself the connection... In this case, using this procedure, it should be possible to run the upgrade even from Vista.
On the other hand, the unlocker might just disconnect ActiveSync but still be using MS drivers, which are probably different in Vista.
Maybe I'm not used to think and I'm just saying nonsense.

Software touch screen on Vox

Is possible to install and use software for touch screen on our VOX?

If you can get it to install, FakeCursor of SPHelper will give you a cursor you can nagivate and click with.

but this will make Vox able to install software for pocket pc with touch screen too? cz now is not allowed without this kind of software
Some programs have an option checked in their cabs to prevent them from being installed on smartphones. I suppose in theses cases the developer has a good reason to do it because some ppc program scan't even be launched on smartphones. But it's true a lot of them work good and sometimes you don't even need the help of a fake cursor program, you can navigate the program with the d-pad.
mean have to arrange cab file? how to do? and if software must install whith activ sync?
Give me the cab you are looking to install and I'll have a look at it.
sorry but i dunno how to send you this software. This software is Garmin Que. It's GPS navigation software for windows mobile Pocket PC. It's store somewhere on a PC and have to install from that autostart CD with Active sync.

or is there someway to resize Thomson's Clinical Xpert for VGA screens?
I've recently flashed the stock ATT fuze rom to one of Da_G's WM 6.5 roms. It's fast, stable, and has great battery life (currently sitting on my desk after 26 hrs+ w/ maybe 10% remaining, which is a tremendous improvement from the <12 hrs i was getting). Everything is fine and dandy, but the most important software for me does not work.
Epocrates installs but does not perform the initial autoupdate. it simply stalls at the update screen. I've tried both the wireless installation and desktop installation and both do not work. Speaking to their tech support, I've found that WM 6.5 is currently unsupported. Anyone get this working on a WM 6.5 rom?
In the meantime, i've installed Thomson's Clinical Xpert, but it's interface was probably designed for QVGA screens so the drop-down menus are not navigable on my VGA device. how can i go about resizing the application for a VGA screen (either through modification of the CAB file or if there is any application that can alter the resolution/stretch it)?
thanks.
workaround in this post below
Having the exact same issue- any help will definitely be appreciated. I love the new 6.5 interface and would prefer not to go back to 6.1 unless absolutely necessary
Same here. I just spent an hour trying to load Epocrates until I found this thread. I like the WinMo 6.5 much better than 6.1, but unless someone can find a workaround I guess I will have to revert.

Same here. However, I did revert back to 6.1, still no luck on installing Epocrates. Even disabled the Microsoft encryption setting. Still no go.
what wm6.5 build is everyone using? i've so far only tried it on Da_G's 21198.
i'm really surprised that epocrates won't install on wm6.5 as i don't think very much has changed in the architecture from 6.1. the issue w/ epocrates is that it installs, but hangs during the initial autoupdate. the actual application is installed and can be opened briefly (i can see the the on top etc.), but the data itself is not there b/c it cannot be synced. when trying to install via the windows desktop installer, the autoupdate progress bar pops up and the download starts, but quits with an error about the autoupdater conduit.
if the conduit can be fixed/tweaked perhaps epocrates will work? has anyone tried moving files from a working 6.1 installation to an aborted install on wm6.5? i'd try to do it, but right now i don't have the time to rebuild my wm6.5 setup, which is also why i haven't flashed to one of the newer 6.5 builds.
for the time being i'm using Thomson Clinical Xpert, but its UI makes the application barely usable on my Fuze.

That describes exactly my experience. I am using the FuFuROM based on 21202 on my HTC Diamond.

It's same with me. I reverted to 6.1 bcos of epocrates and UpToDate. epocrates wont install as e'one here said. UpToDate installs and runs but cant display the final pages. It seems to use the IE and the pages are stored inside .jar files. somehow it cant go inside the .jar files to display the html files. It says the pages are not available.
I hope these issues will be solved soon.
BTW, I'm using TESS Premium 4.3 by Aman in my Elf.
Same
Wow same here, that's incredibly irritating
i finally had some free time to tinker this weekend and i've got epocrates running on wm 6.5!
following my previous hypothesis, i flashed to an old 6.1 rom and installed epocrates and performed an update. then i copied the "essentials" folder from "Program Files" to my sd card. i then flashed to wm 6.5 (da_g's 21501 beta 4 kitchen) and installed epocrates. as usual, it could not perform the initial autoupdate. instead, i closed the update application, deleted the existing Essentials folder, and copied the Essentials folder from my sd card that was from the intial 6.1 installation to Program Files. epocrates now works! i didn't bother with any of the add-on components/programs as i mainly need access to Rx, Sx, Dx, and labs tabs. of course, you likely will not be able to update epocrates from wm 6.5 as the crux of the problem is the autoupdater module.
Post perhaps?
Hey just wanted to add my 2 cents saying I'm having the same problem. I'm using HTC fuze with Mystic ROM by vRC1.0 based on Da_G's 21500. It's also a windows mobile 6.5 ROM.
Anyhow I was wondering if someone could post a zipped version of the essentials folder that works, so I don't have to reflash my ROM twice.
anyone has idea about UpToDate thing in WM6.5. Eventhough there is a workaround for Epocrates, I'm still stuck with 6.1 cos of UpToDate. Any input/suggestions wud be highly appreciated.
EDIT: I found about UpToDate in this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=499741 but u hav to cook into ur own rom... too bad ..

i have an archive of the folder and i'd upload it, but i think it contains personal information. just flash 6.1 the next time you get around to flashing an upgraded 6.5 rom.

+1 for me too... I too would prefer not having to reflash again.
My Essentials folder won't be the same as yours. It will have my preferred insurance plans, for one thing.
Clearly, this hack allows ePocrates to run. However, it doesn't address the lack of updating, which is really one of the important features of ePocrates.
Since ePocrates is the primary reason I carry a smartphone device instead of a plain phone, I'll be sticking with a 6.1 ROM for now.
epocrates and active sync
I was wondering if anyone using the work around has been able to use active sync to sync with their computer. Does it break if epocrates tries to auto-update that way through the active sync? Is there a way to turn off the epocrates auto-updater so you can active sync?
I was able to use the work around without flashing my ROM. If you still have an old phone, you can have epocrates with Windows Mobile 6.1 on THAT phone, move the essentials to the storage card. Then install epocrates on your 6.5 device with the storage card in, and it works perfectly fine for me.
But now I'm afraid to sync my phone with my computer. I NEED epocrates to function at work. I want to be able to sync as that's one of the main benefits of a windows mobile phone, but keeping epocrates has to be priority one for me.
BTW, I checked with epocrates support, and they said they intend to support 6.5; they just don't know when.
Working now!
its now working officially with wm 6.5
greets,
A couple of days ago I installed the epocrates Rx on my brand new HTC HD2 (windows mobile 6.5) thru the standard installation procedure, and thought everything was running ok, until today that I just realized it doesn't support scrolling (I have to open the keyboard and use the arrow keys -extremely cumbersome!).
Then I searched on the Epocrates site for support and found this:
Question
Does Epocrates support Windows Mobile 6.5?
Answer
Epocrates does indeed support Windows Mobile 6.5.
While installation through a computer should be in essence the same as installing to a Windows Mobile 6.1 and older device, installing directly to a wireless Windows Mobile 6.5 device is a bit different.
Open Internet Explorer on your Windows Mobile 6.5 handheld and navigate to the following web address.
http://get.epocrates.com/?action=all
Please note that "www." is not part of the above web address.
Select the "Install Now" button for "Windows Mobile 5 and later."
Please take note of where Internet Explorer prompts use to save the Epocrates installer file (Main Memory or Expansion card). It is called:
OTAUpgraderSigned.exe
Open File Explorer on your handheld and navigate to My Device, My Documents. You should see the "OTAUpgraderSigned.exe" file there. Tap on it to begin the install process.
Should you encounter difficulties, please contact Epocrates support.
Don't know if anyone already tried the above, if so, please give some feedback. Does it work?
Anyway, I'll probably give it a try later in the day. Let's see what happens.
I have tried as Lovanova tells in his messagge but it still does not work scrolling in my HTC HD2.
Sorry to tell that this way described by epocrates support doesnt work in HD2.
hmm, you re right.
Scrolling does not work on HD2.
Damn!
They could at least update their product flag ship as so little that it doesnt look like MS-Dos-crap ... they ve got good looking apps on the iphone with nice fingerscrolling ...
its so ridicilous

any app that makes the phone into a external monitor?

title, over usb or maybe even bluetooth
Not sure any an app to just turn the phone display into a second or remote display, but there are application to use your phone to remote control your PC, which will display the PC screen as well as allow you to manipulate it remotely. LogMeIn

ahhh, interesting
zoneos.com
also see: innobec sidewindow
Innobec SideWindow requires some very old version of ActiveSync (not working with new one or with device center) which works only with WM5 I remember I was using it on my old PDA, now I can't use it on Touch HD and I miss it very much
no as of now there arent any that work?
ZoneScreen works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8G82A7KKtY
Moved as not software release.
I tried out Innobec SideWindow a few months ago on my last phone. It worked just fine with my htc hermes (WM 6.1, qvga) using activesync 4.5.
