As a long time user of Dropbox, I wish there was an easier way to access my files instead of having to go on the web interface. I detest having to plug my phone into my computer, and actually as of recently, my computer locks up when I plug it in while the WM OS is running (go figure.) No mention of anything in the event log, just nothing. Bootloader works fine so my flash addiction is still valid
Anyways, I see options like Sugarsync (2 computer limit) or Live Mesh (no idea) as possible alternatives that have a WinMo client. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Do you find the m.dropbox.com solution bad? I personally think it works fine, but then again I havent used it very much
Don't get me wrong - it works, but a native app is better no?

Looks great! But when I try to sign up it says that synching of Windows Mobile is "comming soon". Do you have an application for this?
Untested, but try this:
http://m.mesh.com/install/wm6/LiveMesh.cab
Link doesn't work

The above link does not work anymore, to get it on your phone do the following:
1. using youe MOBILE PHONE browser go to http://www.mesh.com
2. Click the Login button (if you already have an account, if not get yourself a live account)
3. Once logged in you will see your device wheel click on the orange plus icon to add a device.
4.At the bottom of the dialog you will a link for 'Live mesh for mobile devices' click it.
5. You will then get to a page whihc explains how to install, click on the link in option 2 and it will download a cab for you.
6. Install the cab
7. Run live mesh from your start menu, there will be a message about security (you have to be quick on this step) Check the 'don't show this message again' checkbox and click ok.
8. Enter your live login details and check all of the checkboxes bellow.
Job Done!
Can't get it work with your method. When I log in to mesh.com with my HTC HD2(LEO) I can't se any options for mobile. Only Windows xp and Vista in the drop-down menu, and in the text it says that Windows mobile coming soon.
Anything I do wrong? Tested in both Opera and IE.
Thanks.
Also hope Dropbox soon wil launch a Windows mobile application
Try Kinoma, there is a plug in for box.net and web.dav it works perfekt for me.

I do not believe the MS tool works with WM5

It does with a bit of work.
This is how you do it:
- 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
Cheers, Mark.

Excellent, thanks
works like a charm..
Do you know why they got rid of some of the toolbars and buttons on WM5?
for example, there is no send and receive button on the outlook window, and no speed dial button on the phone window.
Thanks

WLM connection problem
I also tested this WLM version.
Seems to be working good, login is quick, merging of WLM and Outlook-contacts is a good thing.
My problem: After some hours running, it seems to lose connection with GPRS.
I have to soft-reset my wizard to get a connection to WLM
After the reset i can connect / sync again with WLM..
So far no luck. Running Faria's WM6 and it installed okay (though very slow) and rebooted. After that I run it and it only says Sign in to Windows Live. I click it but it never connects. I've tried it through both wifi and edge. Gonna reboot my phone and see if that helps, otherwise I'm going to hope the server is down or something. Although, come to think of it, I had similar problems with previous versions too. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, who knows. I really hope I can get this working. The inability to merge WLM and Outlook contact lists is what has kept me from using it so far. If this has that fixed and I can get it to work consistently, I'm in happyville.
Edit: Rebooting fixed the connection issue. Still doesn't do what I want though. It won't take my outlook contacts and add them to Live Messenger, for instance. You would think it wouldn't be that hard to have it read the IM field in the contacts to do so. Also while it did successfully merge one of my contacts, others had duplicates. For instance, my wife has her name entered one way in WLM and I had it another. It created a duplicate for her. Both had the IM address listed as ****@hotmail.com. So, it is a slight improvement, but not there yet. I want full synchronization between Outlook and WLM. I also want to be able to add a Windows Live mail acct to my existing passport but I'm not holding my breath for that one.
Worked perfectly for me, except the fact I dont like having all my MSN contacts in my phonebook forced upon me.
is it possible to install this version on top of the WLM that already existed on cooked rom? (xplore 1.1) Or is there any way to uninstall previous version?
thanks!
WLM - how do I get rid of it?
I made the mistake of installing (ahem, "running" the thing from the Programs folder) WLM (from the RUU_mUn_aRTM_10_2_0_8_WWE-Fixed.exe ROM), and it has seriously messed up a previously good setup...
1) I can't uninstall it - this is a _bug_! It seems to insinuate itself through Windows and I can't make it stop connecting my EDGE connection..
2) Because it seems to do something to connect the EDGE connection, it also seems to prevent me from receiving incoming calls.
3) It seriously slows down my 8125.
This is not specific to this beta version but i get the defbrowser errors when trying to open links from emails also pushmail does not work reliably it often says sign in failed / sync failed. The only way to get it & messenger working again is to clear the password in account options any ideas how to fix this?
WIll not install
Guys can you help me install this please?
Whenever i run the installer on my XP SP1 machine, it does not detect that i am connected to Activesync. I am however, connected to it via USB. The installer just keeps giving the message "Connection error. Make sure ActiveSync is running"
I have tried it on 2 machines now and both have the same result.

The exe above has the cab in it. Just start the install from your PC, but when it comes up on your phone, don't click on anything. Now with your PC (or with TotalCommander) do a search for *.cab and you'll find the cab. Make a copy of it, and you have your cab file that you can put on your storage card or where ever.
Tks for the info mfrazzz! Always learning
I tried getting the cab, but it didnt work. It installed right away without asking any confirmation.
Can anyone post the cab file?
Thanks
... Never mind.. I found it on my PC.
Thanks alot.

You must not be running a custom rom then, as most all of them stop to ask you where to install the cab, and don't delete the cabs after install.
thanks, works ok for me. glad the contacts issue has been sorted, its much nicer than Pocket MSN. i couldnt find the .cab but the .exe installed fine via my pc.
is this a beta? the install said it was a beta.
Hi guys,
I've flashed my phone with the .405 euro firmware however seem to have lost remote desktop, does anyone know where this will be or how I can find the cab and reinstall it?
Many thanks.
You have this one:-

or

but i haven't tried either yet.
Let me know how you get on plz
ta m8,
The real windows remote desktop is definitely best because windows will scale all your windows and is really responsive, however you may have concurrent login issues if you try to use your pc at the same time!
The other is more like VNC where you view an existing login, however that then begs the question why not use a mobile VNC program as it's well established and more supported. I'd say the good thing about omnipresence is it attempts to use touchflow navigation concepts but at the moment the response is slow, could be good in the future though.

That might explain, that when I try and remote onto my PC it tells me the UN or PW is incorrect. (I know it isn't).. Is this because I'm logged in?
It should log you out on your pc when you try to connect i think

How did you have to hack Vista plz.. I'm also using that OS, so might be the same problem?
I'm useing RDM+ instead from Shape service.
Much simpler and no need to configure and firewalls.. downside is that it aint free. But then again it's a one time fee, all other upgrades are free.
lots of functions too like file upload and download. And the person that is online dosen't get log out.
Imo it's a really good application.
Again either using RDT or Logmein.com , It says user name or password incorrect.
I know its not, coz thats what I use to log into the system!!!
Any ideas, this is a real puzzler1

I am an avid mac user and was wondering if anyone elese on her uses one with winmo phones? how do i sync my phone to my mac or better yet get it to show up on my mac so i can add program, movies, songs, ect.
thanks in advance
anyone
anyone???????
Yeah sure, I posted on bluetooth syncing with mac which I later figured out how to. I use the missing sync which works wonderful, If you need to figure out how to use bluetooth read my other post here or PM me, cheers
yeah i am on the freeware side of things thanks for that though at least there are a few programs out there that i can rely on if needbe
You should definitely check out Missing Sync. It's well worth the money, IMO. I haven't seen any "freeware" that has anywhere close to the same functionality.
so i got VMWare Fusion 2 and am working on getting it to sync in my windows window and will keep you guys updated on how that works out
You can also use Syncmate, the basic version is for free.
I'd be interested to hear about that. Have you considered using crossover (it's probably what I would use if I needed to install some windows apps on my mac). Why haven't you just bought the missing sync??? Let me know how you like it and also for what apps do you use it? cheers

Does the full version transfer all my phone contacts with pictures? The same goes for my songs on iTunes?
Please let me know.
Missing synch does it's job partially here. It refuses to synch my calender with Entourage, and with calender.app...
No idea why.
I use missing sync too. syncs everything perfectly with entourage 2008 (12.1.0). Even time sync.
Have only used USB though, didnt try bt yet.
Also, it keeps whining that the computername of my macbook is too long -_-
Still, great program
yeah i was going to get missing sync but my i got a copy of windows for free and vmware i had laying around. the only problem i have is that i cant get windows to open discs..
also is there any way to use the front camera to take pictures?
also is there an AIM app out that will work over wifi?

Question:
How do I copie Files to the Storagecard, using the phone, instead of the extract Micrisd-connect to MBPro?
In other words, how do I make OSX see my phone as storage?
As you connect your phone you'll see three options, active sync, disk drive and internet sharing. Selecting disk drive does exactly what you need
Looking for a VNC app for Windows Mobile wich can acces the Pc by the phone ?
What progs are out there ?
It should come with Remote Desktop already installed. That works a treat
yeah how does that work exactly because I didn't really got that working, should I run an application on the PC aswell?
Well i think soo!
The app is there for iphone for example! so there should be a simular to WM ?
I havnt yet found any app, thats why im here
You have to enable remote desktop connections on your PC and then the remote desktop app that comes as standard on your phone will work. This has been a basic function for WM phones for a long time.
(You will also need to allow traffic on port 3389 through your firewall, if you have one.)
This version works fine for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445903
I use .netvnc app (cannot post link but google it its first hit)
You have to ENABLE it for a GIVEN login ID on your PC. You will be prompted for this ID when you use the RDC app on the HD2

Thanks mate i will now read and try
can you post a link please?
Hi,
I have the same problem with keyboard. When I enter Full screen I cannot activate it or go out of fullscreen mode.
Is it possible to connect with higher resolution than 800 x 480 ?
Is there any alternative client ?
iPhone with jaduu or mocha vnc is great. Why there is no good software for HD2 :/ ?
Hi, im new here.
Using remote desktop has a few problems. Especially the fact it has no keyboard. Also sound is missing. Another problem is that the remote desktop installed to basic editions if windows (on the pc) does not support remote server, it can only be used as a client to another pc. I found a patch someone on this forum made than can get around this problem. But despite the fact mine connects fine, i rarely use it as it has very little functionality!
If it is important that you can connect to your pc i hear vnc is much better for it as it has full functionality. Dont know if there is a similar free version available as vnc is about £50.
hooope this helps buddy
Keyboard: use the on-screen-keyboard or a BTK with your HD2, works like a charm.
Resolution: Fairly sure the answer is no.
Why use vnc when you have RDC, its waaaaay better.
VNC does not limit resolution. That makes RDP useless for me :/
There is another solution but I have not tried it yet
