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.

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

Hope this helps

Pocket PC dilpaying through a monitor

Hey all!
Just wondering, is there a way (software,bluetooth,cable etc...) to display your pocket pc through a computer monitor or display (lcd or whatever..).
Like what one can do with a laptop.
Cheers
P.S
Maybe this will do the trick..

Yeah, I think this is the best solution... I've tried both the Pro and Enterprise versions. With the Enterprise version you can Explore files and Edit the Registry, monitor memory too.

Try this program from Compaq/HP even lets you connect to a device connected to a remote computer.

Connecting to Windows Mobile device from PC WITHOUT installing Active sync?

Hi, does anyone know if its possible to connect to Windows Mobile device from a PC WITHOUT installing Active sync?
I would like to connect to my HTC Diamond and although My Mobiler is very good, I would like to know if its possible without using Activesync?
Thanks in advance.

as long as u want a software for file transfer, u need softick card export (but it's not free) or wm5torage (it's free but it doesnt work on my device)
gud luck

thanks for the reply, it was more around an App that lets you control the device. Sorry I didn't make that clear in my first post.
Something with the functionality of http://www.mtux.com/ but without active sync would be good. I doubt it exists, as all my searches have resulted in nothing.
Regards

okay, prime example of RTFM... MyMobileR supports this already.

LogMeIn + Windows Mobile 6.5 / 6.1.4 Problems

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.
Successfully tested devices:

Also Known As
HTC Apache
PPC-6700, XV6700

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.

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.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=65154

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.

[Video] W7 on HD2 . Fake? Remote desktop?

Hi everyone . My friend just shown me a video of HD2 running Windows 7
I don't believe it , and think that Remote Desktop was used
Here are the vids

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90DKCDUDr20&annotation_id=annotation_460871&feature=iv
What do you think

i dont think that even warrents a reply.
poor effort

I don't get it? Why would you want Windows 7 on you phone? And it's clearly a remote desktop session. The same way I can say that I've managed to run a Windows 2003 Server on my HD2.

Don't want Windows 7 on my HD2 Maybe android for dualboot Just wanted to show that my friend was wrong

YES it is defenetly a fake.
why u think that "comments on youtube" are disabled ?
its a programm where you can add your HD2 as a 2nd Screen at your Computer.
simply select your HD2 as screen output-> and here you go.
All HD2s in this videos are connected to the PC via USB cable or WLAN.
(the phone works only as screen, like you whould plug in a 2nd monitor... )
nothing special thou...
