I searched here and haven't seen this posted ...
This, next to MS Voice, has got to be the greatest app I've seen for the Pocket PC. This, in addition to the SearchToday cab, are so very cewl on my device.
If this is ancient history, sorry!

Generic, then Advanced MIDP2. Not sure if that's correct but it was the best I saw and it seems to work for me.

Thanks. Got it.

has anyone figured out how to make it display satellite images?

wish there was an option for it to display all directions to where yer going at once, instead of having to cycle through 1 direction at a time.

I'm having trouble using Cingular GPRS to get past Generic, and Opera Mini says the type of file that I try to download is unsupported. Can someone upload the file for me?

I used this app when I had my audiovox 5600 smartphone and liked it. Now that I'm using the Wizard it seems that Microsofts Virtual Earth can be used (it looked like it was free as well). Anyone used both and can comment on differences between the two?

I also recommend MobileGMaps - it contains support to four different mapping services and also runs just great.

logmein works on all wm phones, eespecially my 8525.
I have mine set to widescreen at home, and it looks great w/my rectangular screen (as opposed to treo).
Where are you having a problem?

If you want to stick strictly with VNC, go for the new PT Pocket Office.
BTW, I'll publish a BIG roundup & article of all these issues in the near future.

What does exactly happen? When does it refuse to run? Please elaborate - I know everything about all these services and remote access.
i seem to remember reading somewhere that it only works with an unmodified pocket internet explorer. It certainly works on my vario II.

It's indeed faster than other free VNC viewers but still consumes about 3 times more bandwidth than commercial solutions.

bandwidth for me isnt a concern, unlimited data plan plus a 6megx768k dsl line into my house... but do commercial solutions offer the same amount of control as VNC? just curious cause i do run a private FTP server out of my house and like the ability of total remote control over my pc when i am away... i believe i tried logmein.com about 4-5 months ago and dumped it, dont remember why, maybe cause i had to pay, but thats when i found a beta ppc version of RealVNC and have used that ever since.

PT offers built-in file transfer in the latest Pocket Office version and the author also promises clipboard synchronization. It's also much faster and consumes about 3 times less bandwidth.
Hopefully, I'll be able to publish my roundup of all remote access solutions the day after tomorrow - I'm still trying to hack the H/PC .NET RDC client (it's WAY more advanced than the native one on the Pocket PC) to the PPC.

What's exactly the problem? Do NOT trey to use it with RealVNC servers - it won't work. Use PTeSVNC instead.
Also, the config options are a bit overwhelming at first - I'll, of course, elaborate a LOT on them in my forthcoming roundup.

I liked Windows Live Search a lot, but mainly because it just plain worked. The java midlet version of GMM was instable if it would even work at all. Google just works better. It also allows you to look up contacts and use them in your searches. Windows Live Search doesn't have that option. I'm sure future versions of Windows Live Search will up the ante and Google will, in turn, raise the bar even higher. Yay for competition.
FYI, I'm also running the SA 1.35 ROM and it installed without any issues. I just went to www.google.com/gmm and opened/ran the installer from there.

Same rom, but no success, "cab installation unsuccessfull" message, even tryng to close ALL active processes
archive corrupted!
Install and all worked fine for me this morning. Maybe save it somewhere first... then try the install? (That's the method that worked for me.)
worked for me too
what about google talk for mobile ???
download the cab on ur PC, active sync and move it to your phone. Their OTA download is messed up.
I tried it a couple times and noticed the file sizes were different. the cab file should be approx 607k. I kept getting 300k when I was getting it over the air directly to my phone.
I went to www.google.com/gmm on my pc, got the wm5 version cab, put it on my phone and installed from my phone just fine.
It doesn't have hybrid map view (streets on the aerial pictures) which Live search has. Actually, live search feels a bit better to me still.
works fine copying the cab over for me on the Vario II, pretty neat.

I cant get my Bluetooth GPS to work. After i hit track with GPS, it errors out and brings up some help file and talks about editing settings in the control panel if you have a BT gps, but i have no idea what its talking about.
what the heck. There's no detail at all for Japan, although google maps has the detail and so does the midlet version.
The midlet, however, can't do searches in Japanese which is why I was glad to try out this new thing.
wow, what a great app. i already used the java midlet before but that didn't work so good. this one does! even the satelite view is quite quick via umts!
the install was ok in one try. i used iexplorer on my tytn and went to the link www.google.com/gmm there i installed the cab file.

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

Log Me In, Skyfire/Opera w/ Flash, Garmin XT, & Slingbox

For all of you that have an X1, Congratulations.
The purpose of this thread is simple, I want to know if any of you have the above programs and if they work on the Xperia X1.
Please don't ask me for the program, I don't have them.
However, I heard all of these apps are very good and would like to know if they work at the 800x480 resolution.
Thanks
Garmin Xt works great on the xperia =)

Slingplayer loads for me, but does not seem to connect for me? Odd.. anybody else get it working? Only the pocket pc version will install.
I think I remember this issue on my last Windows Mobile device. You have to use isp.cingular instead of wap.cingular (which is the default configuration). isp.cingular isn't working for me on my data plan, but hopefully this fixed the issue. what is everyone else using?
wap.cingular or isp.cingular???

Once I realised it was the pocket pc version it installed quite easily, but I also had trouble connecting (I assume you have entered the Slingbox Finder ID along with password in the setup on the Xperia), until I changed the connection settings and unchecked the proxysetting from my operator (Telia, Sweden). I don't now the exact translation of the box but I think it is [This network connects to the Internet by a proxyserver], once this is unchecked it started to work for me, the only downside is that the software only supports resolution up to 640x480, which becomes quite a small window on a 800x480 screen. News from Slingbox is that the new software coming soon, might support higher resolutions, but until then is there any way to change the screen settings to a lower resolution to get full screen?
It's old this topic. But I have to pick it up
I got LogMeIn on my X1, connected via IE perfectly, I can see my computer, can do file management. But each time I choose remote destop, it gives me a blank screen. Nothing seem be running. It's just all blank.
What's wrong with this? Any ideas?

Fun with Remote Desktop/Win7.

Was a little bored and thought I'd Remote my Win7 Netbook with the Xperia.
Had a laugh at the expense of some of my fellow Engineers/Computer Scientists.
Some figured it instantly, some had no clue, believes it really was running Win7, some thought it was themes etc of course, and came up with smart arse ideas of what it _must_ be
Bit I found the funniest is that the damn Xperia actually has a higher resolution that the netbook I was remoting with it.
Yes, that's really how big the damned Windows Live messenger is on my laptop(netbooks) 10" screen.
Yes, I photoshop on it, although I use a mouse that's worth more than the netbook itself (touchpads too cramped)
Yes, it's running Win7 and WinXP perfectly. (Infact it's also running Mac OSX 10.5.6 and Fedora 10 also, but those two partitions aren't shown in Win7.
nice ... but things will be tiny and even using the stylus will be tricky...
I tried several RDP progs... there is also a nice one with zoom ability found here in the forums called gamma.. but it requires a server/client files and not the windows RDP.
Good to know its working on win 7

The damn thing looks better on my Xperia than it does on the laptop itself. I just wish I could get WOL-over the internet working on my desktop at home so I could remote to it from work, but I just can't get the system to wake on the magic packets. Then I could do what i need to and then put it back to sleep.

Same question here, so far I found crappy RDP programs that don't allow me to type anything or have numlock always on.

Yep, standard RDP program, it works fine for me and I can type etc. What's the problem?
I have no idea!
I use the software with the original name 'Remote Desktop' (the flatscreen-with-satellite-dish-icon) right now. It does not allow me to type anything as soon as the connection is made. The soft keyboard as well as the fixed keyboard don't work.
The version I had before this (same software differrent version?) did allow me to type but always had the numlock on, without the option to turn it off.
There must me a right version out there

Here you go, enjoy.
i use a different program, but im guessing its all the same program with different names and sizes, if anyone has a problem with any of the other cabs and wants to give the one im using a try, just gimme a shout(i dnt wanna post anything on here b4 i get the boot..lol, i believe the program is free though)
