Once upon a time...Remote Desktop?

Hiya Guys,
I used to use an application (freeware) that enabled me to view the screen of my PDA on my computer whilst it was synced, I also used to be able to make changes on the PDA using the keyboard on the computer too! Which was so much easier for creating new contacts etc.
Can anyone here remember what it was called and where I can find it again.? I'v searched but cant seem to find it!
Only down side is it now has to WM5 Compatible.
Thanks for your help guys, look forward to hearing from someone soon.

Thanks
You are a star! Exactly what I was after. Cheers

njcoussell - you might want to change the topic title to show that the problem has been solved.
There are a few other apps that do this as well... but the MS one is good enough I think.

syncing with mac

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?

Fixed this yesterday. After removing all calenders except the entourage one in iCal it worked.

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

use HTML to open an app?

HI Folks,
been looking into this for a bit with no joy, so thought it's worth asking if anyone knows if its possible to use a html browser to open an app directly, please read the below and you will see what i am after, basically the idea is to use jakesankey's overlay to navigate m.facebook, but also have the option to use the bottom bar to act as a shortcut to album

It will give you access right back to your chat window at any time. The goal is to get rid of the m.facebook integration and make make it so each window will remain in the same position as it was when you switched to 'chat' and then switched back.. Anyhow, I dont mean to ramble. This is what where I am thus far for anyone with an interest. (simply extract the compressed folder to your computer and open fbook.html to get the idea).. obviously this will not be used to upload photos.
ive been playing with this, it works well with the new omnia build of opera that allows scroll in pan
know this might sound daft, but is there any way to use a html doc to open the Album.exe ?
one of the guys posted the following in the diamond section that allows htc album to upload pics directly to facebook
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=469106
don't know if this will work with qvga, but worth a try
i like the idea and have been playing around with it to make it more usable for me, then thought about trying to include a link to the album in the html page, ive included my edit to give you an idea of what im thinking but the code is beyond me
many thanks for any help or advice
Chris

anyone have any ideas?

So, if I understand you right, what you want to do is open an application on your phone (a .exe file) when clicking a link in a webpage?
Because that does work perfectly fine (at least on my htc wing with WinMo 6 and PIE). All you need to do is make the link point to the application:
Code:
A link
The above example will open the Images&Videos application when clicking the link for example. Hope that's what you were after.

Manila 2D and Easy Contact

Hi there,
I'm using Manila 2D and Easy Contact. Before, I was using iContact, and if I clicked on "All People" in the M2D-Tab, there comes up iContact. But with Easy Contact, there comes the normal Outlook-Contacts of WM... Any idea?
Thx,
MCXSC

Well, this isn't really an answer to your question (I think this is just a good time to throw it out there), but it would be nice if there was a way to set default programs, like on a PC.
Then problems like this might be non-existent.

Actually you can, using programs like SKTools, or I believe Schap's Advanced Configuration.

Try checking your settings in easy contact as i now use easy contact and it launches from all people and from contacts in my dialler it has fully replaced the old wm contacts

[Q] Bump similar app

Hi,
Nowadays most people have internet flatrates even for their mobile phones.
But what about people who don´t have internet flatrates? Thats why I start this topic.....
Bump (or Hoccer) is a nice app to easily share your contact ,!!APPS!!, what so ever....
The bad thing: both need internet connection....
[Q]: Why do they need internet connection? Is it because apps are not really pushed to the other phone? Instead the other phone got the link to the app in the market?
[Q] Applications like ES Explorer are able to package apps back to apk... the could be transfered. It is my current workaround, but it is not that simple it might be - and should be.
I searched for an app with my requirements... and didn´t found one.
An app that can transfer easily whatever you want! (apps musik, whatever an file explorer could find) of course it should have some standard functions like transfer contacts..... and apps!
So other questions are:
- How difficult would it be to programm such an app? Any good tutorials out there?
- A friend of mine built an app with google´s "lego system" and also established with it a blutooth connection. It is not that difficult and google did a great job with the API
- If noone wants to program such an app, I would try it. Im not an expert, no experience with android at all. But Im willing to learn....
- What the "best" developer environment? Eclipse? Any recommended tools?
Many questions... I hope we all could help each other?
