Hi All,
Here's my query:
If I was to sync my XDA II to my computer in the normal way, would there be any way to set the camera to record to the PC hard drive, instead of the file being written to my device?
This would turn my device and computer into a home CCTV system, which has obvious benefits
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks, and I look forward to your comments.

I just got my XDA Mini S two days ago. I've searched several forums looking for help, and I can't understand a lot of what's being said. That said, I would be extremely grateful if someone could help me out.
1) Is there firmware or something equivalent that I should get? If so, where and how do I install it (if it doesn't come with instructions)?
2) People have complained that the o2 service thing slows down their mini S, and I've read how to do it, but am not clear how. Can someone give me a step-by-step? Also will I lose all my contacs doing this?
3) I've copied lots of midis over to my Sounds folder, but I'm not allowed to set any of them as ringtones. Is there a way round this?
4) What programs can you recommend that I should use to get the most out of my unit?

1-Why do you wnat some software, firmware? If you mean unlocking your phone it is here under unlock tool.
2-Sync your contacts on to your pc, then hard reset your phone. then after set up it will say about to customise hit the rest that will stop alll o2 stuff loading.
3- Ringtoones you need to drop in the rings folder under your window directoty in your phone.
4. Really depending what your uses are, what you want your phone to do?
Please do serach and read some threads. I am patient, other forum users can be a bit savage. I have been there a long time ago. Welcome to the forum. I reccommend reading some threads and see differnt peoples views of flashing etc.
I have honestly looked around and read a lot of the mini S threads, but there's a lot of terminology I don't understand. It took me ages to find this thread, as it's called Wizard!
1) Firmware as in upgrades? I don't know if any exists and I can't find an official website. It's already unlocked so I'm not worried about that.
2) Hard reset? As in the button? And what do you mean by "hit the rest"?
3) Thanks!
4) I was hoping there'd be a list of software specifically for the phone and I 'd pick and choose.
Thanks for your help and patience!
Ok,
I know what you mean about terminology?
It was once upon a time jargon to me. Apologies ok
To hard rest press the top two buttons on the let and right hand sie of your phones. On the left the one above the volume slider. On the rigt the one next along from the on off button.
Whilst pressing these two use your stylus to press in the dip switch nera teh infared port. Then hold on to the buttons. You wil then get a message asking you to do a format. press the green key. This will wipe all your data.
Once you go through the aligining screen and cut and paste section. it will tell you to tap your screen.
After this you get a message saying customization is about to begin.
At this point useing the tip of your stylus stick in to the hole by the infared port. This will reset the phone and none of the o2 stuff will load up.
I
OK, a few problems.
1) When I connect the mini to my PC, it won't let me synchronise my contacts, calander etc. only my files. What's going on?
2) When I explore my PocketPC, there is no Windows folder to speak of, only the My Documents folders. There's an Explore Pocket PC, but that only leads to Program Files, Windows Media Player etc.
Are you with o2? I found another thread with alleged settings for mms and the sort, so I'll try that if I can get these contacts saved.

Simple issue with this have you set your mini up as a guest active sync account?
If not once it does sync then go to tools options, you will find contacts not selected. I found this on mine also the other settings you will have to adapt to your needs.
As for the windows folder if you fo to view options within the folder and enable hidden files. Your windows folder will appear. werid never have this with my windows 2003 devices.
I am not with o2 but I have all the settings. If you still have an issue, pm me and I will try and help you over the phone if you'd like.

you need to install Windows XP SP2 on yr desktop/laptop, and set the firewall to OFF, at least this is working for me.
I think there is some thread discussing about synchronizing WM5
Hi there,
Could anyone please help me with this?
I want to run an application automatically when my WM5 device get connected with PC via ActiveSync. I've noticed some of softwares had this kind of feature, but I've no idea how to implement myself.
I've tried google and MSDN, still got nothing useful... ( stupid search engin user I am -_-# )
Many thanks.
Look at the CeSetUserNotificationEx function and the trigger event types
Thanks for your reply, saman-cz.
I'll have a try.
Title says it all - do you know a way to connect paired telephone to activesynci without starting the synchronisation? Sync takes lot of resources (opening outlook with 200MB PST, onenote, etc) and sometimes I just want to quickly upload a file or install an app to phone, without unpairing an pairing devices again.
Is it possible to force AS to eg. ask user after each connection if user wants a sync (like it does when you plug in a new device)? Thanks!

Hmm... did definitely point me in the right direction, thanks!
Aargh, solution was laying right in front of my eyes - WM5torage! Much faster than AS as well!
Hi, chaps. I have what I think is a rather unique problem:
Without going into much detail as to the why I need this, I'm just going to explain what I need the phone to do:
- be an all-in-one remote webcam
The phone needs to be able to sit on its own, take a pic at a given interval, and then upload that pic to an ftp/web server, using either UMTS or GPRS. Coolcam is able to take pics at set intervals, but as far as I can see, one is not able to set the exact path the pics are saved to, instead it has My Docs\Pictures and Storage Card\My Docs\Pictures and available paths.
I was hoping there'd be some way for me to either somehow find some setting allowing me save the files to a remote address (from Coolcam), or have another programme running in the background that would automatically watch for new files, upload and delete them from the phone.
So, does this sound possible? The phone is not going to be anywhere near a Wifi connection and most certainly not connected to a computer. As I said, this must be a standalone solution! Possibly solar power will be involved to keep the thing running, but that's not my main concern right now.
Any suggestions? I'd really appreciate any helpful feedback. Thanks a million!
Unless there is a prepackaged solution somewhere, I think what you need is a homebrew prog that takes the new picture and uploads it to the specific place you need it to be uploaded.
Thanks for the reply. I thought as much, myself yet, as luck would have it, I stumbled upon this piece of loveliness:

How cool is that?
Oh that is fantastic! I am now thinking that I may find use for this thing somehow.
Tried searching but could not find anyone talking about this, so here goes...
Anyone know of an app that will transfer the pictures from the HTC Diamond to a PC when wifi is on and the PC is found?
Basically I am thinking that when the Diamond sees that it is on my home wifi, it will check to see if my PC is on. If it is, it will (max once per day) transfer all the pictures from the phone to a share on the PC, and then erase them on the phone. Even better, it would create a new directory in the share with todays date, and place the images there so you can see when there are new images.
Anyone heard of such an app?

try DashWire
It's nice, but then I have to pull the photos from DashWire to my PC.
I really just wanted the photos from my Diamond to my PC without the need for an in-between step.

try http://www.goodsync.com/
According to the manual, GoodSync only supports wired connections...
