Hmm, it complains that it requires a newer version of the .NET framework to work on my Exec.
[edit]Aha, we need this one to give use the 2.0 framework http://www.aspecto-software.com/xoops/modules/wfdownloads/singlefile.php?cid=1&lid=4 [/edit]

just dling now from microsoft

works a treat! definately a must for those working in connectivity, networking etc and also those into warchalking (with a gps)

Yup, great bit of software. Can anyone recommend an indoor GPS device for use with WiFiFoFum when War-walking?
Cheers.

Massive install
Bloody hell! :shock:
The CAB file for WiFiFoFum is just a few hundred KB, but the installer for the .NET Compact Framework is 5MB! :shock: :shock:
You've got to *really* want this software to suffer that kinda hit to your storage, IMHO.
Is there any other free warwalking software that works well for WM5? I can store locations in TomTom without WiFiFoFum's radar display...
Thanks in advance

This version was great. Thanks

Hi SiliconS,
I stored NetFramework and WiFiFoFum in my SD Card. It runs great, a little slow to start up but saves you the internal memory.
Plus from what I read, most new free warwalking software needs NetFramework 2. So there is no escaping it. Sorry.
If you want to try HitchHiker: http://www.kasuei.com/hitchhiker/ feel free, but the last time I tried it on my EXEC, it did not work.

Thanks for the reply, Christian.
Maybe I'll try WiFiFoFum if it installs OK to the SD card. I was just shocked at how much MS bloat was necessary to get it working. Even installing the .NET 'Compact' Framework via my PC required a 24MB download and a 59MB installed size. Seems crazy to me, but I guess it's necessary for something.
Just a pity that WiFiFoFum requires the complete .NET framework and can't just cherry-pick certain libraries. I'm not a coder so I don't understand the reasons, but I'm sure the developers don't choose this situation happily.

but where is the advantage compared to the version before, that makes it worth installing the huge framework-stuff...?
the 0.3.3-version works quiet good on my mda pro

So, you mean to say that the previous version worked well with the UNIVERSAL, so we don't need to install NetFramework 2? Does the old version of WiFiFoFum have Windows Mobile 5 support?

Previous version works on Universal, but you can't see all the screen in landscape mode. Since I use it once-in-a-blue-moon, I'm not worried by switching to portrait mode. But the loss of 5MB of main storage makes the latest version with .NET v.2 a non-starter!

Using Skype to call/qtek S200/

Hi all,
I am trying to use Skype on my S200 and it works ok when using it for text (what could go wrong there anyway )
However if I try to call then I get prob's.
Very slow, then I get sound problems (reception mainly).
Is this a problem anybody else is experiencing as well? Does anyone here have a solution? I remember reading about overclocking but I thought the OMAP processor that qtek s200 had is good enough to handle Skype?!
For info I downloaded the mobile version for 9090 as only 2 were available. The other one was for qtek 9000 (which I have not tried out yet).
"The minimum requirements to run Skype for Pocket PC 2.0 are:
· OS: Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC or Pocket PC 2003
· Display: 320x240, 640x480 (portrait or landscape), 240x240, 480x480
· CPU: 312Mhz + (Optimized sound quality versions for Intel Xscale, 312Mhz and for 400MHz+), b
· Network: WiFi, 3G or EDGE "
Any ideas/suggestions?
P.S. I would like to avoid the overclocking solution if possible.
Thanks!

Hi Makis,
I am afraid you have to go through overclocking to get acceptable performances with Skype. I am currently using the latest version for Mobile (2.0) downloadable from the skype site.
Search the forum for OmapClock and Skype... you'll find all directions to run it.
...until a new version, optimized for Omap/dual core comes out... if ever...
Bye.

Hi
Which one ? The one for slowest processor or the "normal" one ?
Thx for your answer.

slvrbllt,
Thanks for the reply.
I guess no other way around it. Overclocking it is then. One of these days I will give it a try, I remember seeing something about over clocking in here.
PS
Did you download the one for 9090 or 9000?
Thanks again.

See last post in this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40583&highlight=skype+arm
and you should be able to try out the older, but specialized Skype for ARM devices, unlike the Xcale version that everyone here is using which is causing problems on Prophet. Download the GENERIC ARM version and give it a try.
Please post your results after trying it out.

krale thanks!
very helpful indeed.
For those who will read this in the future I think it is better if you follow the link that krale provided were you can find more specific and detailed info on this subject.

Look for A2DP tread on this forum... Sorry, I can't point you directly.

skype version
You can use the older Skype ARM version, however you won't have access to the contacts you may have added on your desktop version, since it is the newer v.2 which supports the server contact list.
However I'm using the new version of Skype without problems, overclocked to 240 of course.
Get the 312Mhz version from here:
http://www.skype.com/download/skype/mobile/download.html
I haven't tried the high speed one, it may work if you feel like experimenting.

All,
Thank you for your replies and suggestions, everything was very helpfull.
I decided to give overclocking a try.
I tried the opmapclock that you can find in the forums (search for overclocking) There is also a step by step guide on how to keep your gadget overclocked the whole time, because once the phone goes to sleep you have to overclock it again.
I tried my S200 running on 228Mhz and 240Mhz (skype worked fine) and so did all the other applications. I found the 228 enough to see a small improvement.. DO NOT expect miracles and please be careful since there can be some issues if youi over do it. I suggest you do some research in here before you decide to overclock.
I used the latest skype version (I think it is the 2.0 version).
Anyway I hope someone else can also find this info usefull in the future.
Once again thanks for all the help..
Makis

You also have the option of using other VOIP solutions. Do a search for SJphone and sipdiscount and you'll find more info. I can use SJphone without overclocking, but I need to overclock to 240 for the new version of skype.

Thanks Matterhorn I will have a look.

RemoteControl not working on my TITAN

try noviiremote... i read somewhere that the company that made it shutdown and now you can find the software many places along with the required stuff to register it. in my opinion its still the best out there.

Novii
Novii Remote still excists and is coming up with a newer version. I just was a few days ago on there site and took about 600 code bases (free) from their site to program on my PPC. The software is not free but look around and you will find. It is also one of the best remote controllers. By the Way the new version that will come soon is Novii Remote Lite. But i will post de link also.
Good luck

On a lot of WM devices, you have to uncheck the "Receive all incoming beams" on the Settings/Beam screen? Try that? On some others the IrDA port is shared with another function and you may have to disable that function temporarily e.g. WiFi.
Also if this "free" software is a version of NoviiRemote, then there is a setting on the program for choosing the infrared port. I have found that using the AutoDetect did not work on some of my devices. Manually try each of the port settings. If this version is special to the device for which it was free, then there may be no setting function provided i.e. it is set to the port for that specific device and it is different port number to your HTC 6800.

A small up
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone had found a soft working on WM devices (I don't know if mine has an IR, it's an HTC Touch Pro 2), and free of charge, of course
And, as the initial author says, I'm in the same case as him, I haven't really $30 to spend...

From what ive gathered/read these are just about useless as you have to be like no more than a foot or two away from the tv for them to work. the infared port is not near as strong as a regular tv remote

This is not a universal truth. The power of the IR transmitter built into the device is the deciding factor. I had kept two HP Jornada's going since they had a very powerful signal and could successfully work all devices, even by bouncing off walls of the room. This was somewhat special.
I currently have two FS Loox N560s (WM6.1 but no longer made) which also work well, but the beam is not as powerful or focused as the Jornada. But both FS and HP devices can operate all my equipment (using either NoviiRemote or PDAWin, I believe that both still available but paid for!) at 10-15 feet.
The biggest problem is that the new generation of WM devices just don't have IR ports any more. This seems to be because the demand has not been great from consumers, but also the devices are packed to roof with GPS, phone functionality, cameras etc. So something has had to be left out! Shame. I am stuck with old technology partly because it provides universal remote control capability!

Ah those new technologies...
OK, thanks.
Actually, that's what I expected... When you think all the things our new mobiles can do, you think they can do everything (I still expect the new feature that will feed me and be able to bring me some fresh beer when I need it !), thanks ooxteme.
That's a shame but, as you said, fingerstoo, when you put more and more things ON them, you can think they get rid of some of them.
But it's not really that important isn't it ?
Thanks anyway to both of you for these answers.

In my HP ipaq 6815 works fine, thanx

I had one BenQ P50 WM2003 PPC which had a universal remote control application factory installed and had a very powerful irda port by which i could control devices even from the reflection of wall/celieng etc. I had copied the entire folder from the Cdrive where a file
nameled recon.exe along with some associated files were there I shall try to upload the entire folder in rar format. once I get it! It should be safe somewhere inside a hard disc but I'm unable to recall where did i store it as I've suffered from a severe BP Stroke on july 16th last year! I am still searching for it in all my harddiscs. it is worth mentioning that, Novii remote also worked fine with my BenQP50 despite the factory installed software being there and. after copying the entire folder to a HTC PPC running in WM5 with IRDA port worked fine though I do not remember the model number.

I even tried by copying the whole folder of 'Remocon' with Dll files from benQ P50 and pasting on my i-mate Ultimate8105 but no luck may be due to OS as BenQ P50 runs on WM2003 and the i-mate Ultimate runs on WM6.1 hope some one can help me to run a Universal IR foftware on my i-mate Ultimate 8105

Wizard on the desktop?

Is there such a program that will allow me to control my wizard from my PC desktop? I thought I saw one before, but I have searched and searched and cannot find. Any help would be great.

Microsoft has a "Windows Mobile Power Toys" (AFAIR, not 100% sure) Package, which contains a tool to do that. It's pretty old and I don't know whether it still works with modern Windows Mobile versions, but you may nevertheless give it a try.
EDIT: By accident just found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2179815&postcount=2
Sounds pretty promising

Doesn't work in Miri's ROM either. Same problem.
I haven't tried yet, but I think we can get it free from:
http://pocketexpress.com/

i dont get what you guys are talking about....its a simple cab install file. Its specifically for windows mobile 6.1. If theres different versions for the windows mobile older versions install cab then go to the www.pocketexpress.com to check which versions they have. the cab i listed is the newest version.

I think the one posted is not for the ppc as only 1.9mb, according the site the ppc one is 8.6mb. This works fine. Here

The European version is not available for Win Mobile - at least not yet. The US version does work, but it only has American information. Also, the installation program attempts to install .NET 2.0. If you have a later version of .NET installed on your device then it will not install version 2. But the prog runs fine anyway.

i mean the sports tab can give you every european futball club information you need with another tab to follow your favorite teams...plus the news tab/ticker shows world headline news so...its pretty neutral when it comes down to it...it isnt only american information.
