Hi,
Does anyone know some software that can make
the XDAII function as a remote screen for the PC ?
It would be great to use the XDAIIs touch screen
to control the PC - maybe via bluetooth ?
Cheers,
Johannes
Johannes,
Try using VNC .....
You'll need to install a server on you PC (TightVNC, RealVNC or [email protected])
Then use the Pocket PPC Viewer on the XDA

well you can use windows therminal services
or pocketVNC to get the screen from the pc to the pda
but it will clone not extend your desktop
and at least with therminal services (which is included in both the pocketpc and in windows) it logoff the pc user when the pocketpc connects
and at least with therminal services you need the vidcomm bluetooth stack to get the PAN profile
because if you use activesync to connect and then login from the pocketpc the desktop user gets log'd off and this disable activesync which breaks the connection to the pda
Hi!
I got a problem to set up the Hermes as a webcam for messenger apps (Skype, YIM). I got coolcamera 1.15b1 and everything works fine within that application via activesynch and USB connection on dekstop.
But when I try to select the Hermes for webcam device within Skype or Yahoo messenger, it is not shown as option there (only standard windows device or nothing). Maybe I need some driver for using the Hermes as webcam in WinXP (SP2)? How to setup XP or Hermes that Skype will recognize it as webcam device?
Any help much appreciated.
Cool Cam
You need to install there desktop app first and run it. It should then appear as a webcam choice in skype/ options/ video/ test webcam etc.
Otherwise, troll the cool cam forums.
Also, I got it working on yahoo messenger first, then on skype, couldn't get it working otherwise.
I installed desktop app but no option in skype/yahoo to choose it (even while running the app).
I got some register error though, but by ignoring it, program installed successfully. Hm, maybe I need this C++ update for XP then. Gonna try.
Update: It was the C++ thing eventually, so I downloaded http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...EE-A3F9-4C13-9C99-220B62A191EE&displaylang=en and after installation Coolcamera was shown for webcam device. Works fine now.
Hi,
Is there any way to use the video cam on the tytn.. if you do not have access to 3g or gprs? is there any way to get this working over a wireless connection?
Is there any other software that will enable its use in anything other than a video call. At the moment for me its a bit useless!
Thanks
Webcamera Plus from Ateksoft lets you use either camera as a webcam (with a wifi or USB connection to a PC).

but does this software alow u to use the hermes on msn messenger as a webcam?
msn and skype and........
yes you can, but only from pc.
One missed thing is to use msn + cam directly with the pda (without pc support)
I hope there are commercial reasons, because video calls can be unuseless if you can videocall via mobile messenger.
That would require someone to write a version of Messenger for the PPC that supported video calling, though. Unlikely that anyone except MS would do that, as I don't even know of any 3rd party PC clients that support it fully.
As someone mentioned in another thread, MS Portrait supports video calling - that might be some use.
Here's the situation so far.. I have the software mentioned above, and I can use the Tytn as a webcam, but the problem is that it only shows up in the window on the desktop that one has to open using the software.
I can't get the image to show up on MSN messenger instead..
Is there something that I am missing??
A few people have had this issue. Uninstall/reinstall/reboot worked for me, then you select the source in the webcam setup part of Messenger.
I has this nice little app with my PPC 6700 that I could control my mobile device from my desktop when connected via ActiveSync.
I clicked it and it popped up nothing complicated. Anyone know anything about this app or one similar?
Ya, it is called "True Connect" it works as billed. http://www.raspberrysoftware.com/trueconnect.htm I am using it as we speak.

Hello
does anyone know if there is an application to turn the HD into a webcam ?
To use with skype or MSN.
Thanks.
I don't believe you can use the phone as a webcam for msn or skype, I don't think the mobile versions support that. However, if i've mis understood you and you want to use the cam for PC msn or skype, then check out ATEKSOFT web Camera Plus. It's a fantastic program which will allow you not only to use the phone as a webcam over activesync, but you can do it over wifi too with an IP connection.
See what you think.

there are programs apart from msn and skype that allow both video and text chat directly from your device.. i tried a few but the quality of the video isnt worth the trouble

WebCameraPlus does not work with THD. Tried WebCameraPlus from my Prophet where it worked perfectly.
another video-chat thread
not tried by myself, but maybe there is something interesting:
