Hi!
I've been searching over the webs for a program that uses my phone as a camera and sends the images over the internet to a computer. The only programs I can find are programs that let you use your phone as a webcam. I don't want that.
So what I mean is:
If I'm out in the field and I see something cool, I can just turn on this program and whoever is on the computer at home at the time can see what I see. Much like skype, only one end has a phone instead of a computer.
--> A program that lets me use my phone-cam on phone-msn would be great too
So do you know any programs?
Thanks in advance

Use webcamera plus, does wonders, it cannot connect to your computer outside your house, but however, you can use a computer upstairs, and set the camera on lan downstairs, and then set on the computer the webcamera plus program as your camera in msn.
hope I helped
What about FLICKR or FACEBOOK?
plz could u make a tutorial than on how to instal the webcamera plus to ur phone bcuz i can only instal it on my computer and not on my htc hd2
Might want to check into this:
www.bambuser.com ...which I know for sure works with the HD2 because I use it.
There is also this:

...I've used it before but haven't tried it with the HD2 yet.

Hello,
is there a possibility to exchange some files between my Orbit 2 and my Macbook (OS X 10.4)? I tried to use a computer-to-computer network but couldn't get it working. So can anyone help me please? Unfortunately I'm new to Apple and Windows Mobile. So please be very precise when you describe what I have to do (think about a DAU² ).
Ah yes: I don't want to synchronise anything (like adresses or so), just wanna exchange some music/videoclips via wifi (hope this is faster than bluetooth where I only get ~100kb/s). Thank you very much!
Hi, I have just started to use SyncMate which is free to sync my iTunes music library on my Mac with my TyTN II. It works really well but I have been using a USB rather than WiFi connection. The program does support WiFi though.
You can download the software from
http://blog.eltima.com/2008/01/sync-your-mac-and-a-smartphone-with-syncmate.html
Although this is sync software it should also be able to do what you want as you can Sync a folder on your Mac with a folder on your phone which will enable you to transfer files to and fro.
Good luck and be interested to hear if the WiFi sync works!
if boths were connected to the wifi router it would be a matter of setting up normal filesharing like between 2 computers
if otherwise one would have to do it as adhoc network
but i dont know how these things are handled on macs
on pc's it the pc sharing would have to be running the server service
and have the pda as a user with reading and writing rights
And BT ? or MissingSync
I have an old iMac and I made some ringtones. I sent them by BT with no problem. I dropped Syncmate cause I got some issues with the calendars and the contacts. MissingSync is perfect but not free. You can install whatever but you need a cable. Will try to check the WiFi
Yes, with bluetooth I managed to send some files. But speed was not that fantastic (~100kb/s). So I'll try to get it working with Wifi. Maybe speed there is better. I got my device recognized by the Macbook and an IP was sent to my phone but I don't know how to access to files. Unfortunately I have no time for the next two weeks to test it any further. Please post your efforts if you have success. Thanks!
So, I already got what I want (even better). I found the freeware MochaSoft FTP-Server. This software has to be installed on your PDA. It youses the FTP-Protokoll. Therefore it lets your PDA act as an FTP-Server. All you need then is an Internet Browser, which has an FTP-Client (for example Internet Explorer or you use the fireftp-extension for Firefox). Now you can access your PDA and exchange files via Wifi. Speed is much better than Bluetooth (~700kb/s read and 680kb/s write). The good thing is, that you aren't limited to the platform anymore. (I don't know if the standard Linux browser has an ftp-client, but my beloved Firefox has a Linux-Version too.)
P.S. @linux-users: Please don't kill me for my last sentence. I believe that linux is able to handle these things out of the box. It's more for us windows users to know that it's possible.
Hi Guys, and pleas bare with me since i'm new to WM phones, i've always been a Nokia Symbian and Sony Ericsson user.
I got the HTC Touch Pro (I'll call it it TP for short) and i have a buncha questions that I'd appreciate if you guys would help me with.
1) When receiving an MMS message, why does the picture appear as a small icon instead of the full picture, i would have to click it to view it. IS there a way to automatically view the picture/video as soon as i open an MMS message?
2) Do WM phones have shady/crippled Bluetooth? i have used the TP, Omnia, imate Jam, imate Jammin and they all have funky blue tooth when transferring pictures to PC. I used multiple Bluetooth USB dongles on my PC and same problem, the device searches for the Pc, then i get a "Device Found" message forever, for like 5-10 minutes(literally) then it changes my PC name(if i'm lucky, that's like 1 times out of 10) ....so eventually i tap the PC name transfer the picture and *most* of the time the trasfer/process failed! I've used Jabra and Belkin BT USB dingles
3) When taking pictures, i know you could email them and MMS them, but why no Bluetooth option? why can't i do it right away from the camera utility/gallery? it's so inconvenient......i have to go to "Pictures" and Videos" application to bluetooth the pictures/videos....and the worst part is that i can only transfer 1 file at a time!
4) when sending files from PC to TP (which works perfectly fine btw), where does the file end up? where in file explorer? and is there an easier way to locate it?
5) when recording video, which is better MPE4 or H.264? i'm guessing H.264? ....i can't tell since the files won't transfer over BT! yes and both BT are on on both devices and discoverable.
6) Where can i get theme's for the HTC TP?
7) any recommended programs? i'm looking for media and games....i'm not interested in business application.....oops, one more thing, does Blackberry work with the HTC TP?
sorry for the too many question, but im a WM convert and new to the OS and need the help to answer my questions, i appreciate you're help guys!
thanks!
marwan,
I will try my best!
You are asking very hard and perhaps impossible to answer questions, but I will try my best to answer them for you!

I dont use MMS, but "why" I think would be better to ask microsoft!
However I think there are many other programs to choose from if you dont like the standard one in WM 6.1! Maybe someone here can give you some alternatives?

I dont have any problems with bluetooth transfers, have you tried using "Resco explorer"? Or maybe you should check if your PC is at fault?

"Why" ask microsoft again!
But you should try Resco explorer, there is a option so you can transfer/manage several files at once!

If you mean sending files via bluetooth then it should end up under \my device\My documents. However that can be changed, if you go to settings/connections/Bluetooth/FTP you will be able to set another default folder! (SD card recommended!)

I am not sure about this one, but I have found that H.264 does not play in all devices!

There are so many programs to choose from, but for media I would recomend either TCPMP (Free) or Coreplayer (Comercial)! A good way to find programs is to look at handandgo´s website!
How do you mean does it work with TP?
[/QUOTE]
I hope this helps you a bit, and welcome to WM´s world, I think you will find that once you learn what this is all about you would never want to go back to Symbian again!
I don't know if you'll get your questions 100% answered, but friend, it sounds like you picked up the wrong phone for you. I myself have come from a long line of Nokia's and their S40 and S60 OS's but I'm glad to say that I love my TP and all it's little qwerks, don't really think that you can get everything to work like everything else. Each OS is a little different. Kind of like saying, "Can anyone help me? I want to be able to right click in MAC OS Tiger!" it's just never going to happen [and I know you can ctrl+click to get another set of options, but you know what I mean]
Hello,
I have a HTC G1 and I couldn't get the windows recognize the device. Guess it needs a driver before I can install apps to test it on the phone. I was referred to this forum by someone in the Android Developers forum. Do you guys have any insight?
Thanks,

you have one? like sitting in front of you and you can touch it? and to answer question it doesnt sync with computer it syncs with google over the air...
Yes, it was right in front of me a few minutes go. It has gone for a walk around other cubes.
Won't you need to have some connectivity with the PC to use the ADB?
If by "ADB" you mean contacts, all that is sync'd with Google online. Nothing has really been said about connectivity with any desktop PCs yet.

I have developed an application using the emulator and now wanted to test on the device. How can I load it on the phone? Could you explain the process?
Thanks.
You already have a jump on most of us by actually *having* the phone. A micro-SD card would probably be your best bet.
I have one too, and am having the same USB connectivity problems. The SD card shows up as a USB Mass Storage Device. It wants another driver for what it says is "Android Device".
According to what we've heard so far (here and on tmonews) that's exactly what's expected to happen.

how is it possible if g1 release is on oct 22nd?
from all the press releasinfo and various blogs, its beenreported a fe hundred times that the G1 will not sync in any way, shape, or form ith a pc. This also means that youcan not try to install any app on the device through a pc like you can with a pocket pc. You will been to dr the instal file over to the storage card on the G1 and install it from there.
Also, if you actually have the devi, I'm sure all of us here on the site would love to see a detailed video of it. I know we've all seen the dozen from a few weeks ago, but there's still a lot tt was not shown.

yes vid please!! also nick is right your best bet is to probably upload it to your sd card and then put it back into the phone and install from there...if not we should start working on a sync program or something such as this
If i had mine already i would have posted all kinds of info and pictures on it. If you truely have one which i don't see how you could then put us out of our misery and share the wealth lol.
USB mass storage ?
I thought that the phone shows up as a usb mass storage device when plugged into win, mac or linux boxes via USB. Is that not true?
According to the user manual, the SD card shows up as a mass-storage device via USB. It doesn't say anything about the phone's memory.
Stop thinking winmo, guys Why write a sync application when it's drag-and-drop in the first place?
this is true....as far as adding music and whatever else you like you should be able to just drop in onto the sd card right? the only thing that people are needing a sync if for the exchange?

I have one because of some GOOG connection. I will post a video in a few minutes. I will be glad to give you what ever information you need on the phone that I can access. For those skeptics, here is a picture with the current time showing... http://www.shakechillis.com-a.googlepages.com/

I found this post in google http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/msg/b9f5ddc77af39239
I put the binary folder into the SD card under /download. Now I don't know how to access the SD card and launch the application.
If i could only have it for just 3 hours. I would love to open up the phone dissect it, and later see if we can get it into bootloader, maybe mtty.
that "android device"
I *think* that is the debug CLI (not a linux shell) called the Android Debug Bridge.
Interesting that it is client/server and runs on odd port numbers between 5555 and 5585.

Right on man, sorry i didn't mean any disrespect i didn't think it was possible to get one early. Looks sweet, are you happy with it so far? Was wondering what kind of material the outer shell was made out of, is it rubberized or more like a plastic type material? I love the dash shell, it has a rubberized shell.
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.
Does Anyone know if this is possible, i would like to enter my movie or musicfolder so i can copy whatever i want over to my phone BY WIFI (ADDED LATER) have tried to search the database and came up with something i another phone thread
but i could not make this to work. Anyone know if there is an app or something i could use.
i have a HTC HD2.
i have found a lot of nice things on this place, but nothing abouth windows networking. maybe im wishing for too much. but!!! i hope
Rgds Erik
Hi, did you try using ActiveSync or Device Center to connect to your HD2, then clicking explore on ActiveSync or Device Center and then copying your files into your phone?

Ok, i did not write that i ment by WIFI. sorry, other ways like activesync work. but thats not what i want

How about this?

googd suggestion.
Hi and thanks for tip. i have already seen this, but its browsing the wrong way.. I want to browse the COMPUTER, not my phone
The next best thing I can think of is if you purchase an application from the Resco Software company. Resco Explorer will allow you to map your network drive on your device. It includes a host of other features that the stock explorer doesn't which will make file management much easier. I highly recommend it to everyone.

i got the soultion..
the good old Total commander finally worked, and now i can browse my server.. nice. thanks for all help guys.
