This is one good surprise. I have been using Pocket PC Phones since the first O2 XDA, then XDA II, then i-mate PDA2, and none was really compatible with any TV remote control software (unless you sit at a distance of 1 meter from your TV!). But now everything changed with the Jasjar. The IRDA is so powerful: I am using it as a TV/DVD/VCR... remote control nearly from any distance (even with small obstacles between the TV and the Jasjar). I tried NoviiRemote and Total Remote: they both worked perfectly.
Thanks for your report. Although I can't get Total Remote working on my I-mate Jarjar (Changed to DOPOD Chiniese rom) , however NoviiRemote works perfectly on it, and it even have VGA support!!!!
My jasjar and NR_deluxe
I am using NR_deluxe with distance 7 m :wink:
Yes, thanks for your report - I've just installed NoviiRemote.
At the very least, it'll be fun to turn off all those advertising screens that UK supermarkets have started introducing, as well as any any other CIR (Consumer Infra-Red) devices that happen to be in range.
awesome! thanks for letting us know - I wasn't even gpoing 2 bother testing remote apps after every device in my past failed so miserably.
Has anyone found a remote control app that works in landscape yet? The IR transmitter is on the side of the Universal right?
i try it
i can change channel at the maximum distance of 35 cm. (panasonic plasma)
change track to dvd at no more 40 cm
noviiremote deluxe 3.1 (05.08.30a)
jasjar rom 1.13.53wwe
this remote is useless.....
or i did something wrong
I have the O2 Exec and NoviiRemote Deluxe works well, good range. However Novviremote is let down by the lack of CCF support and the lack of a landscape mode. And the design mode is a little clunky.
Total Remote doesn't work for me. It can learn fine, but it doesn't seem to transmit anything (using iRDA or the Griffin option - not that I have a Griffin iRda).
WinCESoft Remote II looks to be the pick of the bunch, supporting VGA, CCF landscape et al, but I only have the crippled trial version of this software.

How about WinCESoft Remote II? Does it work on the HTC Universal?
What happens to Novii Remote if you switch screen to landscape? Does it still work since it has no landscape support?

Doesn't work at all in landscape, that'll be a great update or o2 execers...
But I'm gonna go ahead and buy it anyhow, and wait for an update. 10 times nicer to use than my previous PDAWIN.

It doesn't work on my QTEK 9000. In fact, after uninstalling the program I got a notification error now and then which said "

Thanks for this response. I was going to try it when I get home. I guess I'll write to the developer of Novii Remote and ask when they will have support for landscape and WM5. Merry Christmas!
cannot create codebase TV_XXX
Hi,
When i trie to configure a device in Noviiremote Deluxe, i go to add new device and i follow the wizard. In last step, appear this message - "cannot create codebase TV_XXX".
Any ideia?
Thanks and Happy New Year!
I have installed Noviiremote Deluxe on my exec and set it up to work for my sky+ box which is great when the misses decides to hog the sky remote. But when i try to configure my Bang & Olufsen remote it crashes when it tries to read the volume up and down buttons. Anyone else had this problem?
I use Novii + Nikon ML-L3 DSLR IrRemote shutter profile and saved myself around 30USD
Remote control was one of the first thing i tested after getting the Universal & the CIR in Universal is quite strong, it didn't even need line of sight! :lol:
I came up with a great pseudo-hack for NoviiRemote Deluxe using MortScript.
For those who've tried to use the software properly, you have to have the screen flipped in portrait mode, yet use the software in landscape mode and hold it like a Sony PSP while aiming it at your TV or home equipment. Of course, if you flip it before you launch the program, it's in portrait mode. If you flip it after you launch the program, it will switch to a portrait skin. Neither method is good, especially if the IR port is on the device's side.
So, using MortScript, I came up with this nifty batch file:
Code:
message "Press OK when screen is flipped properly.","NR Deluxe"
run "\Program Files\NoviiMedia\NR Deluxe\NR Deluxe.exe"
sleep 1000
rotate 270
With this batch file, at least you'll be prompted to flip your screen around which will make the device turn portrait, to which it will launch the program after you press OK. It will wait a quick second, then rotate the screen to landscape mode, making the program switch to a landscape skin. From there, you can skin your remote the way you like it.
Voila! (God, I love MortScript - it is the shiznit!)
thx
Cool, I can confirm WinCESoft Remote II is working on my O2 Exec, had to change the com port in Remote II to com1 instead of com2 but apart from that seems to work perfectly! Range so far upto 7 feet, angle is a little fussy though more than 10/15 degrees either side of straight line and it stops working. Have tested with my Samsung Digi Cable box and my Matsui DVD Recorder.
Draw back it the landscape/portrait mode seems to get a bit screwed but I may need to get more skins as I dont seem to have a VGA 640x480 in the list .

Whats the IR on the Exec like? I know some devices are excellent, and some devices suck, range-wise....
Do you currently use novii remote deluxe 3.2 ?
EDIT: Found my own question answered.... apparenly the IR is VERY powerful... so much formy bike ride, now I'm gonna control my house instead!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=199468#199468
Nuther EDIT: Just tested it - works an absolute treat, although no landscape support yet (IR on EXEC is on the side) but can live with that as long as I can find a Sky .pdb file...
Final EDIT: Forget about all the other progs, this one works brilliantly - and you can download loads of pdb files from handango for free too, and they're p1ss easy to customise. Found a sky one, wasn't perfect, so made it perfect.
Gonna have fun here.... might actually forget about setting up 4 separate devices, and setup one only, using one device, with learned codes from the most popular buttons of all my devices, and fit it over one or two screens....
So, does logmein.com work on your hermes.
On mine it does not and i find that annoying.
Can someone help witch a solutions..
Your help would be very appreciated.. Tanks in advance.

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?
i use realVNC on my home pc and vnc ppc viewer on my 8525... its free and works great!

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 just saw that the Shift (pocketpc part) has a true 640x480 today screen with lots of stuf on it. Can it be ported to the Athena?

Dude, are you linking to that 30 minute video?
That video was decent, at least a first hand look on the Shift. Not very professionally done, but the info was good enough to let me know I do not want one. I'll stick with the Athena and probably will for a long time to come.
The Shift appears to use the full WINCE system, not PocketPC as in the Athena.
This has always had icons and a full resolution desktop. Look at commercial portable devices that use WINCE.
You can even get the MS embedded dev kit and compile your own WINCE that boots on a PC to try it. (120day limit). That devkit has been discussed before on the forum.
Shift
The specs show that it uses Vista and WM6 Professional.
The screen does look good, I thought I really wanted one, and was making do with ameo until it was released, I think I will be sticking with the ameo. I still think it will be to slow. "for my needs" and the ameo appears to be a faster pda. Think I will be better off with remote desktop, and a good cooked rom.

Its a nice device but way to big. It also has no phone function only data. What I like is the today screen. Its a true 640x480 today screen.

Nope. Sadly it's data only...
no phone capability kinda blows it out of the water for me
otherwise it looked really great, talk about major oversight
if you use a sim card for data and voice which most people do.
You have to go back to using 2 Devices which is very stupid
from what i undrstood u had to use a bluetooth headset to use voice...
but i thought it was possible?

Latest reports are that it's not voice capable, but we'll have to wait until it is out to know for sure...
there are laptops that can use a sim card to access the internet , if this cant do voice whats the point?
I agree. for what your paying for a shift you can get an awsome laptop with 3g inside and still have enough money for a few months of data connection. HTC has totally dropped the ball with no voice
The EDGE/Hsdpa module is for WWAN - were it only Vista that would mean no voice. However, lots of speculation that the WM6 "side" will be able to use it for voice.
well the guy the carrying out the review in the video states
'THERE IS NO VOICE, GET IT OUT OF YOUR HEAD!'
which kinda indicates there not being a voice option
Anyone been able to fine a remote control app for the 6800? Just something that (preferably) uses IR and can control my laptop with Vista MCE installed? I tried many different remote control apps and haven't got 1 to work, none of them so far are compatible.
IR is almost useless unless you're very close to the device... so close, in fact, that it would be easier to actually use the device you're trying to control.
There are many apps that can be used over bluetooth or over IP (which are both far better than IR).
There was an article I read about this once from Pocket PC mag which went into detail on this subject, and lists all the options. I don't have the exact address, but if you look around you should find it.

Really, have they lowered the IR power in recent devices? I used to run a remote control app in my e330 Toshiba Pocket PC and it worked better than the real remote I had. Even worked from a room away... I'd change the channel and my roomates wouldn't know what was hitting them... since they were sitting on the couch with the remote .

The ir in my treo 600 only worked from 3 feet away. That was a waste of time. Haven't even thought about rc programs since. Like Dishe said, if you're that close, you might as well just use the buttons on the front of the device; or use the original remote.
i've been looking for a remote control ir program that can control tv, dvd player, etc. with a 6800. but no luck yet, anybody know of one?
Buy a Universal Remote
remote
i too have been looking for a program i could use as a remote control, i had novii on my 6700 and it worked great (fun messing with the guys at the fire station) but i haven't been able to get anything to work on the 6800!
im interested in this too.... hmmm keep me posted
I think I found the software you were looking for while browsing a different forum.
Its call NoviiRemote
http://www.novii.tv/pocketpc/deluxe/
Quoting the user guide:
NoviiRemote Deluxe turns your Pocket PC into a Universal Learning Remote Control!
You can control all of your home entertainment equipment with one easy-to-use program.

novi remote doesnt work for the 6800. well not for me. But i havent tried the deux version. But it gave me an error about ir not being present or something.
has anyone tried this software?
http://www.pocketgear.com/en_US/html/display_product.jsp?id=prod5670730
I just haven't had much time to play with it
Noviremote works real well if you have the sd card antenna
Otherwise it's a waste of time. Now if Moviremote could come up with a new MICRO SD card slotted antenna...
Indeed,
Novi Doesn't Work, Neither Does Vito Remote
it says "Device has unsupported processor: MSM7500-400Mhz"
so i rly think theres something different about the 6800/mogul's IR that the programs are not yet compatible with :-(
Theres another program ive tried on the 6800 as-well, that didn't work....
though the name of the prgram escapes me @ the time.
try NetRemote.. Haven't tried it yet on my 6800, but worked like a champ on my Axim x51v
I've tried VNC, Niveus PocketRemote, novi, PPC Tablet, none of them run or run well.
i'm going to try rudeo tonight
haven't tried highpad Media Control
Found one maybe
I was able to install this on my Titan and it seems to work but have not yet seen it work since I can't find my tv codes - but at least it seems like it might work. It does not "learn" codes from other remotes unfortunately (unless I missed something) but if you can determine the code for your TV it just might work.
Please let me know if you can get this to actually control a device from your Titan
Thanks for this! This is the one thing I miss from my Palm days. heck when the dog ate my $100 remote I was able to go to a store, learn all of the custom codes for my Home Theater and have all of it workin again. Univiersal remotes never to stuff like allow you to change CDs in a 3cd player and other stuff like that even if you try all of the pre-programed choices for that vender...
Please keep us up to date with your findings. I'm gonna try that Nevo cab.

I have transfered files from my Titan to another Titan from up to six feet away so the IR is not really that weak, from what I have read at another thread is the IR on the Titan the uses a different technology, so honestly it doesn't looks good I spend a good time researching on this and another forums with no luck.
