I use NoviiRemote Deluxe 3.2 any way check your "beem"
I've used Novi Remote on mine but the IR is pretty feeble. You need to be quite close to the TV/VCR etc in order to operate it.
I must try it...
I tried this, the software works fine but the IR on the mini/JAM is so weak you need to be less than a metre from the device you are controlling, in which case you may as well just push the buttons on the device
Perhaps some bright spark could come up with a remote extender that you could sit your phone in?
I use noiiremote 3.1.05 on my Qtek S100(magician) and i have no problem! The strange thing is that some times i can use my ppc as a remote control from 2 meters and some other times from 5-6 meters.I think that there is a way to have permanent "strong beam" on my ppc but i don`t know how...
I also noticed that when i have weak beam and i uncheck the "Recieve all wireless sends" and then check it again, the beam goes to strong again...
Any ideas?
wow that is great news.....am considering getting one but it's pricey and considered a luxury app :wink:

Hey i did try out the idea given by SSkorpionSS and i dono how it did but it did work..i did verify it...if u uncheck recieve all incoming beams and again check it..the beam goes strong again......
Thanks SSkorpionSS for the idea....
SSkorpionSS, you're the man!!!
If you guys have balls of steel, disassemble your device and check what kind of IR transmitter is in there. I am sure the electronic part market has other transmitters to offer, which are more powerful in the same size factor. Anyone experienced in electronics should be able to find out. And do the solder job if he is properly equipped. I remember to have read about someone who pimped his Wallaby doing this. Don't know about the Magician though. Maybe it is SMD part which makes soldering way more complicated.

I realy have no problem with the hardware of my magician`s ir but with the software, because it weakens the signal for some reason. Maybe to search for other ir recievers. Anyway, I am just fine with this "trick"!

Maybe vijay can program some hack that repeatedly enabled and disables this setting. Or maybe he can find out what the reason for this power decrease is and eliminate this...

Hi all
Don't know how many of you guys are ipaq transferees like myself, but there is one piece of software on the ipaq that has not been adopted in the XDA series handhelds, namely REVO - the remote control tool.
Anybody into gadgets in the way that we are will have too many remote controls lying about. This tool allowed me to put them on a shelf, and use them very rarely.
So.....
Does anybody have a clue how to extract it from the ipaq ready to be placed on the XDA II. NAturally, owning both devices, one would assume that providing I use it with either one or the other, you can provide this useful information conscience clear!!!!
Look forward to any thoughts

Unfortunately, the Himalaya infrared hardware is not capable of communicating with customer devices like TV sets. There is nothing any software could do about this - only some hardware change can help.

Also some Ipaq's Irda are just very powerfull made..have a range of 10-15 meters.
Normally pda Irda's have a range of 2-3 meters.
not sure why the ir would be 100% incompatible with the tv
if special software written for it was used
about the range issue
http://www.smarthome.com/8220A.html
http://www.homeautomationnet.com/Shopping/remote-control-accessories.asp
http://www.pdawin.com/irtranceiver.html
suppose one of these would inc the range
i had
http://www.pdawin.com/
this software running on my xda1
too bad the range was only 30cm
Thanks for the feedback guys.
I am surprised that the range is so different between devices. I understood that the infra red transmit distance was usually further than the receive. Would this be applicable to the XDA II I wonder. I will run some experiments with a phone to see if I can assess distances.
Had a look at the PDA Win software, looks quite functional, perhaps not as slick as the built ipaq version. 30cm range... doh!
They seem to have specifically excluded the XDA II. I wonder if this is a range issue as you guys have suggested.
Hmmm......
Sounds like an excuse to spend money on a very very very posh do-all remote control!!!!!!!!! (LOL)
Thanks for your thoughts anyway.
Cheers guys

Well, TVs use "consumer" infrared, while PDAs use "IrDA". See here for a more detailed explanation. It has nothing to do with the power or the range of the IR LEDs and phototransistors.

and yet i had pdawinøs software working ok on my xda1
and also used it to comm with my laptop so some infrared classify as
both IrDA and consumer
if the range is ok then the only difference i can think of is protocol and that should be possible to work out so that software would work on the xda2
i also had my trusting old hp48 calc working as a remote at a time
prob still have the software somewhere

I would have to side with Rudegar on this one, as I have not only used the Ipaq for several consumer devices but the extremely fundamental Palm III (aahhhh those were the days, when a calculator was considered to be a posh option.
I would say, however, that neither successfully worked with a sky remote, which I wonder may be due to two-way data transfer. I wonder if this is the IrDA vs Consumer difference.
I read the link to the Irda page, which as you suggest states that the two are different. I would agree that the two standards are different, but unless built-in hardware compatability is provided to the majority of pda's, there must be a way of emulating the consumer device within the IrDa protocols.
Hmmm... A little out of my depth on this one. Hopefully somebody else can explain!!

The xda 1 I have works fine as a remote control for my tv and dvd etc, I use "learning2 mode to program the xda using the original remote handset. The xda 2 however is total crap as a remote, however if you wish to use it from one position, for instance the couch in your living room, there is a device called an infra red repeater, this allows you to operate an infra red device from a greater distance, I will see if I can find a name for manufacturer but I am sure this device exists, its selling point was enabling you to operate your cable/sattelite box from upstairs even when you had no line of sight to the box. It was a money saver because you could connect your cable/satellite to your upstairs tv instead of having to purchase a second box from the provider and be able to change channels from upstairs.
Guys,
I wouldlike to get inside the discusion because I have almost the same problem and I would like some help.
I also found the hard way that the XDA II does not work as a remote control, then I found this Total Remote software and module that really got myself impressed, I bought it and also the adaptor for the audio output.
Now I am able to output the signals without problem, the software works very fine and control the eletronic equipments without any problem.
But then I got to test the learning mode and then my problems started. The XDA II canot learn nothing! It wont recognize any kind of command that comes from any remote controler. To make sure it was not a problem of the software I tested to more diferent remote controler softwares and they also does not learn. What really make me disapointed is that even touching the controler IR led with the XDAII IRda port, the XDA II can´t learn anything.
I already tried to disable the "receive all incoming beans" and do a soft reset, but this also does not worked.
I am writing this in the hope I am forgetting something and one of you give me any more idea.
OR
To also ask for the more experts, if it is possible to substitute the IRda port with a common IR led found on any remote controler (of course doing some soldering). If there is compactibility between them, I think I will give it a go, since I really whant a remote control on my XDA II.
Thanks a lot
Felipe
thats what i've been saying all along
the xda2's ir modules is not the default ir module which all the remote software is written for
the remote applications would have to be written directly for the modules ir in the xda2 for it to work
i've come across no such applications as of yet
Is anybody using the GPS control panel without problems? Or had them resolved somehow?
The GPS Intermediate Driver is a new feature in Windows Mobile 5 that is supposed to allow multiple applications to use the GPS device (its serial port, to be correct).
Usually, the GPS control panel needs to be enabled by setting the Hide value in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings] to 0. (In addition, it has been suggested to remove it altogether, and to add a DWORD value "Group" = 2.)
With the GPS control panel, the GPS Intermediate Driver can be enabled and public and private COM ports can be configured.
All these settings end up under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver].
One reboot or soft-reset later, and this is supposed to work like a charm. (http://blogs.conchango.com/kenibarwick/archive/2006/03/19/3119.aspx).
Except that, with my TyTN and a Xaiox Super III Instant Fix, it doesn't.
The GPS works fine directly with the Nemerix test app or GPS Tuner, but using the Intermediate Driver, the Bluetooth connection is never initiated and no data is received.
No error message, whatsoever. Just silence.
Now I would like to know if anybody else had this issue and if and how they were able to resolve it.
The PocketPC SDK documentation lists registry values to configure GPSID logging (CurrentLogFile and OldLogFile), but to no avail. The files are not being written, which is not a surprise because the Bluetooth connection is never brought up.
The Xaiox InstantFix is a small cheap Bluetooth GPS mouse that has quite a remarkable sensitivity. It really does work indoors, (not in the basement though) and city/forest areas are not a problem at all.
My TyTN is fresh from repair and I hadn't need a reset in a week if it wasn't for this problem (and my frustration-compensating playing around with Wisbar Advance and the Vista theme, but that's another story).
Hi HB_TyTN,
I have the same problem. Using an HTC Universal, ROM 1.90.96 and Radio version 1.130.00.
wait, i thought the vario II doesnt' even have GPS on it?

hmm ok... so its a controversial topic. seems nobody has actually made use of the GPS funcionality, it just seems that there may be something in there that allows for GPS?

I used to use some similar software with my P900......unfortunatly the IRDA port on the Hermes isnt particularly powerful so you really dont get much range out of it
Try next to the device, then try a typical distance away...say 10 feet (i think that would be a realistic distance to use a remote??).

For that exact purpose, IRDA! The infra red port is not intended to be used as a universal remote controller
The IRDA port on the P900 was also crappy but i got about a 5 foot range LOL!
thats what i never understood, i liked the idea first off of doing a remote using the phone but having to walk upto the TV or DVD sorta makes it pointless.
novii remote works great on my 8525..it works better on my daughters ****ty little 13" better then my plasma haha
i read about a software package that worked on wifi for media centres. does any one know the name of it?
I have used VITO Remote on my 6700, and it worked great. I have also had no luck with any remote control software on the 8525, VITO, Nevo, etc. I will tell you this much, my attempts had NOTHING come from the IRDA port. I took my 6700's camera to watch for the light and there was nothing. To make sure my IRDA port worked, I went to explorer and had it send a file, that showed activity on the port, so I know it works, just not with the RC programs I've tried. I'm going to try the NoviiRemote and see if I can get that to work and report back.
Just downloaded and tried NoviiRemote Deluxe. Nope, didn't work. I got errors straight away. I am however running a cooked WM6 ROM, so it might be a compatability issued with WM6. My previous attempts with VITO and Nevo were with the most recent HTC rom running WM5, so I know it wasn't an issue with WM6
Ok, call me stuborn. I got NoviiRemote to work. Infared is on COM3, and so I naturally used that and it didn't work. I noticed IRDA is on COM1 and tried that. VOILA! Using my webcam, I see blinkies!! So I put it in learn mode, program in my controls for my plasma and it works. Not the best mind you, I have to be under 4' from it, but it does work.
Because I'm on a roll, I try VITO and Nevo. Nevo I can't configure it to a specific port, so that isn't gonna work, and VITO pops up saying it's not compatible with my processor. No matter, I like that NoviiRemot flips the screen for orientation with the infrared port on the bottom of my 8525.
LMAO just walk over and change channels

I use novii no problem on my herms
range is average, but go the custom set-up and works a treat on my Sony amp, tv/dvd/settop box, and xbox.
my 2cents
cheers
Novii Remote works great on my Hermes - not a glitch!
I have a dell axim x5 also.. I do remember a 3rd party IR upgrade kit was available, making the range nice and long.
Has anyone seen such a thing for the hermes ?
I have a Hermes 100 (8525) I am in Technical Producitons as an engineer. I am constantly needing various testers and tools to do my job.
Is there any software that can use the mic on my phone as a SPL meter or spectrum analyzer? Maybe there's something I could plug into the usb mini and help me do this? Or bluetooth? IR? ideas?
builtin mic is usless for precise measurments.
There is a lot of soft for this... try Googling... ex.: http://classic.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=9071&associateid=302 but there are some free ones as well... It works fine with an external mic
Did you test RTA?

There is a software called RTA that you can download from handango, the trial only works for a minute, then you have to restart it. I believe that you´ll need a real dbA/dBC to compare and calibrate your Pocket on first use.
Above says it all really.
I could live with bluetooth on even when syncing with PC.
My situation:
I am in and out of my car all day. I can't stand to wear earpiece so have bluetooth speaker/mic in car.
When I get out of car I have to turn bluetooth off as I am still in range when I knock on customer's door. I know I should just turn it off as I leave the car and back on when I return, but it's a real pain. I religiously put my phone on charge when in the car because of the poor battery life, so my request would certainly be fantastic for me.
I believe Phonealarm offers this, but from memory it was not very reliable. Also, as I have just installed my first rom from this forum, I want to try and keep things as 'lite' as possible. I don't need a whole software package.
Is this an easy thing to create?
It's quite easy with skschema. It worth a try

Thank you for the info.
I'll give it a try tomorrow
Okay I have looked at skschema, and to be honest I don't know what I am doing.
I don't want to end up having to press anything. I just want plug in USB - bluetooth on, USB unplug - bluetooth off. I can tell you that phonealarm have this facility, but it just does not work [and you need to disable touchflo] so I'm rather glad it doesn't work
If it is really easy is there anyone out there that can do it for me. I will pay them for the cost of skschema. I believe there are 2 versions but basically $11.
Obviously it needs to work properly. Details below may help.

BluePower IS very good. I never thought of this and so assigned a softkey on my homepage to switching Bluetooth on/off. What a waste of a softkey. Thanks JasonKruys...
You will need to soft reset after installing it (well, I did). Once I can be sure it works very well, I will also disable the HTC phonepad (to save valuable storage space and to enable my phone to ring quicker when called). The reason for having it in the first place was to enable the bluetooth icon in the taskbar. This icon doesn't work when using the Windows dialer skin......
