Hello everybody, I´m trying to connect my XDA II device to a portable
printer with bluetooth by code (C# or VB .NET).
The problem I have is that I can´t get the data I need to connect with
the printer with the bluetooth software that comes with the XDA (the
port that has to be used on the printer to get connected, etc...).
Does anyone know some way or software (open source), that could help
me to get that information ???
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english.
look at opennetcf.org
fumaillo,
have a look at http://www.opennetcf.org here you'll find a framework and samples that you can use to manipulate bluetooth in the way you need. In the namespace IO.serial there are the functions for port access and in the forum you can discuss your issue with othe BTers.
Kind regards,
Udo
Hi,
I am a new Hermes owner and I am a networker.
So I am loking for anything related to network on Hermes to play with
unfortunately I am very confused with so many non-working applications for PPC. This is my first PPC device and I still couldn't go further then seeing my IP address on the device.
Of courser I can use it for any network application but I want to sniff, analyze, collect info...
So far, I've heard the following applications:
- VxSniffer
- PhatNet and Phatnet Pro
- Hitchhiker
- Commview wifi for PPC
- Windows Mobile Network Analyzer PowerToy for WM5
- Pocket Warrior
- CENiffer 3.0
- wififofum
- wifiknife
VxSniffer:
didn't work on my Hermes - don't know why but it says that it can't load driver.
it only worked once but then after a reset it gave the same error.
do you know the cause ?
PhatNet Pro:
didn't also work. but it never works. VxSniffer worked at least once.
Windows Mobile Network Analyzer PowerToy for WM5:
It works but really does nothing other than giving me obvious information.
Wifiknife and Wififofum aren't really doing anything sensible. Maybe just for fun.
I didn't try CommView, Pocket Warrior, CENiffer, Hitchhiker yet. But I really have no hope.
I've read the following article :
http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1226&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
But it gave me no hope...
So I am still looking for software.
Which one really works on Hermes and really is useful ?
How do you use VxSniffer ? (I ask this because it was the only one that seemed like it would work and I see some people on this forum talking about it)
Does hitchiker or commview work ?
Please help me
????????
Well erm..... what is it you want to do?
Hitchhiker works if you want to connect to a network. Wififofum that you say does nothing sensible gives you info about networks in the area. That is what these sort of apps. are designed for. If you want more then you have to be more specific in stating your purpose.
At random I might suggest something like logmein as a network tool to control your PC, but I live in fear that you will say that's not what I'm looking for it does nothing sensible!!
You ask for apps that really are useful - and that's the point, useful for what?
More detail please?
Mike
ok; detail...
I am looking for network analyzing, packet capturing, sniffing tools.
also talking about wifi, wep key sniffing would be nice.
also, I am looking for an emule/edonkey client for PPC.
I have mobiphant but a better client (if exists) would be nice.
btw, what information do you get from wififofum (I mean information that standart builtin wlan tool does not supply) ?
logmein is a pc controlling software as far as I know from my readings throughout the forum. I need this kind of application but my limitation is that I can only use remote desktop protocol. (formy work pc)
now, you'll say "use the built in TSC" but it is not usefull with 320x240 screen size. So I tried Nyditot to achieve a higher screen resolution. Then it made my stylus unuseful (screen alignment problem)
you see, there are too many problems that I need to solve with my Hermes.
emule/edonkey, wep key snifers - get a life!!
Come on ...
Want to use your HERMES as a hacking tool?
Forget it ...
why not ?
hey guys, why not ?
I don't understand you.
there are these applications...
mobiphant is a working emule client. I used it and I even downloaded someyhing on the go.
I just couldn't find the right sniffing application.
commview and hitchhiker should be working. I just don't know how to install and use these.
if phatnet, commview, hitchhiker, vxsniffer, and other tools are written. then there is a demand. and also there is possibility.
so why not we don't use it ?
I don't understand why you are negative about this.
I think there is negativity because the combination of applications you seem interested in suggests that you want to drive up to someones house or perhaps detect the neighbours network, crack their wep key, and start downloading their files.
Or maybe you have just given the wrong impression??
Mike
I think it's wrong impression.
I am a network expert in a serious network and telco company.
I have high bandwidth internet access both at work and at home.
I don't need to crack my neighbour's wep key.
It's just that I love network tools and now that I have a new toy which can access wifi, I want to play with it.
I need network sniffer to troubleshoot my voip applications on the hermes.
I need the emule client to download ANYTHING from e2dk networks while I am connected with my hermes.
there is no evil idea. I just want to use tools that are available. I am not familiar with this pocket pc OS (I was a PalmOS user for 6 years) and I need help.
besides, if I need to hack my neighbour's network I could use my laptop with many available tools.
That seems fair comment to me.
Unfortunately not being an expert in this area, we'll have to wait for replies from those who are.
Mike
I've found another one: ministumbler
it's available at :
http://www.stumbler.net
and
http://www.wardriving.pl/new.php?nr=193
it seem like a new application however, it didn't work...
Maybe I am doing something wrong.
Should I enable wifi card or disable it before using such applications ?
as soon as I enable my wifi card it connects to my wifi network.
maybe this interrupts the sniffer application ???
I use WiFi Companion, so you can chack that out if it suites you
Here is the link: http://www.jiwire.com/socket-wifi-companion-product-review-1.htm
wifi companion seems like a nice application. should I install it to devşce or the storage card ?
any special instrucions ?
You can install it on storage card, it works fine from there..
No special instruction needed for network experts..
here is what i have on my Hermes.
btcrawler - bluetooth snarfing/scanning tool (not really that useful but fun none the less)
mtoken - serial/telnet/ssh client
pocket tty - ppc version of putty
sniffi - wireless scanning tool (btw ministumbler doesnt work on the hermes)
wififofum2 - wireless (not sure which one i like yet)
vxipconfig - release renew etc..
vxutil - ping/traceroute/finger/nslookup etc...
Others
CE Sniffer v3.1 - packet capture (like ethereal, i have used it on my old ppc havent installed it on hermes yet)
vxSNMP - read/write snmp (havent installed it)
vxSniffer - packet capture (havent installed it, but Cambridge software generally is very good)
WEP cracking - havent seen anything for ppc running windows. Generally you need linux on a IPAQ or similar.
thank you
I will try these...
However, I have a very generic problem:
when I install something related to wifi adapter, I generally can't run it.
all of the apps I tried say that :
"can't load driver"
"driver not loaded"
"driver not available"
I got these for most of the apps. Now I try the Socket Wi-fi Companion as suggested and I get a similar error:
"one or more components of WLAN tools were not found, or there are too few resources available to start the program. please verify proper installation of WLAN tools and try again"
I tried several times and the result is same.
My wifi is working. I am connected to my home wifi router now.
So what is the problem ?
Should I start these apps when my wifi is on or off ?
should I run them when I'm connected to a wlan or not ?
maybe there is a conflicting application I think but the only continuous running app is Wisbar Advanced.
What do you suggest ?
most of the wifi apps were written a while ago and dont contain drivers for the wifi in the hermes. A good example is ministumbler, it has not been updated for years.
You dont really need a wifi scanner to do more then tell you a network exists, if it is secured, what channel, power of the network, and if your lucky what brand of AP it is. sniffi and wififofum2 both do this and have gps tagging too.
There are plenty others out there though.
senergy,
I understand you but I can't run any of the apps that you (and others) report working.
I have a problem using these drivers on my hermes. what could it be ?
anyone using any of these sniffing applications successfully on Hermes ?
which vxsniffer version works on Hermes ?
vxSniffer.hpcPro_arm.CAB
vxSniffer.hpcPro_I486.CAB
vxSniffer.hpcPro_mips.CAB
vxSniffer.hpcPro_sh3.CAB
vxSniffer.hpcPro_sh4.CAB
vxSniffer.ppc3_arm.CAB
vxSniffer.ppc3_mips.CAB
vxSniffer.ppc3_sh3.CAB
I still can't get further than "cannot load driver"
I'd go for the PPC ARM cab

Hi,
I need to send raw APDUs to the SIM from a Windows Mobile device, and SIM Manager API isn't sufficient for what I've to do.
The RIL_SendSimCmd function (contained in RIL.dll) would be perfect, but I konw that normally it's not exposed on Widows Mobile devices.
I read somewhere on the net that HTC Wizard platform allows it.
Is there someone who can confirm this? How can I call it from my application?
Thanks.
Kind regards,
Alessandro Rabbini
Hello everybody!
I'm a new vb.net mobile developer and one problem was stopped me: in my application, i need to use some webservices for getting remote information but i'm not able to connect to internet automatically....can everyone help me?
I'm using visual studio 2005 and vb!
Well I don't know about VB (I understand it is problematic to access system functions with that language) but if you could use native APIs than you would just need to use the Connection Manager functions.
Look here.

Well for one thing, you need to have a data plan from your carrier before you can access the internet.
What is the device?
even with the horrible syntax
vb .net should be able to do the same things
as c# so i believe
it can be don by including the right .net libs
or in worst case use unmanaged dll's
Thanks to all...i'm reading posted link about APIs!
I will know you the result!!!
Hi all,
Using Windows7 x86 Ultimate and I am trying to connect HD2 (factory ROM) to a PC.
I´ve already solved de missing BT driver (used Microsoft Corporation Mobile Device Driver).
But Windows Sideshow does not connect.
I got Sync and file transfer working. It seems “well paired”
Even previously I had it working with Qtek S200 and Vista.
But now it all sucks big time.
Any clues?
Thanks in advance.
You need to enable SideShow using the local group policy editor, gpedit.msc

Thanks for the tip.
I followed this how-to
1.Type gpedit.msc in the Start menu’s search box and then press Enter.
2.Navigate to User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows Components, and then select Windows SideShow in the left column of the Group Policy editor.
3.Double-click Turn off Windows SideShow in the Settings section of the Group Policy editor.
4.Select Enable and then click OK to save the changes.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But it was already ok
Even, the icon is not present at the control panel of W7. I had to search and then copy a shortcut.
I believe there is something wrong with the drivers used by W7.
Any other clues?
Is it a Windows Sideshow problem?
Did W7 stop supporting Sideshow?

I gather from the developer preview page on the Microsoft site that this will only work on Windows 7 if initially paired with a machine running Windows Vista!
Also, the Sideshow control panel applet is only visible if a sieshow gadget has been installed. However one can open the applet by searching for "Sideshow" in the Help and Supprt, and navigating one of the resulting links.

Nevertheless, pairing 1st with a Vista machine is not an option.
I had found the WSS applet in Windows7, but the problem remains.
Too bad, it was such a great way to control a HTPC with windows7...
