Hi,
Does anyone know some software that can make
the XDAII function as a remote screen for the PC ?
It would be great to use the XDAIIs touch screen
to control the PC - maybe via bluetooth ?
Cheers,
Johannes
Johannes,
Try using VNC .....
You'll need to install a server on you PC (TightVNC, RealVNC or [email protected])
Then use the Pocket PPC Viewer on the XDA
Regards
John
well you can use windows therminal services
or pocketVNC to get the screen from the pc to the pda
but it will clone not extend your desktop
and at least with therminal services (which is included in both the pocketpc and in windows) it logoff the pc user when the pocketpc connects
and at least with therminal services you need the vidcomm bluetooth stack to get the PAN profile
because if you use activesync to connect and then login from the pocketpc the desktop user gets log'd off and this disable activesync which breaks the connection to the pda
Somebody has trouble with WM 2005, ActiveSync 4.0 (in PC) is working not stable or hanging all the time and me too- Magneto with WinXP SP2, office 2003 SP1.
In my experience some solution can be improved as following:
1. ActiveSync via IR - very sample but too slow
2. ActiveSync via Bluetooth - sample and fast
3. ActiveSync via USB, we need to do some steps
+ Turn off firewall of OS windows
+ Open network cards on your Himalaya:: Settings/ Connections/ Network cards
+ Click "Remote NDIS host" and you can see: Marked " Use specific IP addres"
+ Click " Use server-assigned IP address"
+ Click OK
+ Connect your device to PC, ActiveSync must be working at least in my case

@ xpirate
You can try remove activesync 4.0 and reinstall again, reset PC, turn off firewall and reconnect.
the problem i have is with outlook and activesync. whenever i try and use activesync, it pops up with some dialog about outlook not being configured correctly. which is true, seeing as I DONT USE OUTLOOK FOR ANYTHING! so why is this happening? it's not even set to sync email as i dont use outlook!

I noticed the same problem with AS 4 - it would only synchronise Favourites and Files.
Read the error messages carefully and you will find one telling you to use the 'Detect & repair' option on Outlook. I did so and it synced properly.
It was when I went back to Outlook Express that I realised that my OE wasnt the default email client anymore - Outlook had taken over that function. I made OE the default client again and AS stopped synchronising - went back to the same old error.
From the above I can only conclude that AS4 will only synchronise with Outlook and not any other PIM programmes. It also requires Outlook to be your default email client if you want to sync - slimy lil microsoft trick.
If you have a firewall, you will also notice that ActiveSync tries to send out email messages - this is both annoying and scary. Who are these messages intended for - Microsoft? I have blocked AS4 from sending emails on my firewall, but I still have to do a 'detect and repair' which sets Outlook as the default email client everytime I want to sync...
Problemas with the activesync
I don´t know what happen with the activesync and w2005. I cannot synconize because a hardware happen in the device manager.
The error is in the device manager-network adapters- windows mobile-base.
thanks for the help.

I got the same problem with my Win2003Server box.
If you are running XP then you need to apply Service Pack 2
If you are running 2003 then you need to apply Service Pack 1
Seems that these packs have files "netrndis.inf" and "Usb_Rndis.ndi" that fix our problem
If you will find these files could you pls send them here? I dont' have SP1 installed and cant find these anywhere ((
I can confirm this.
On my office notebook I don't have SP2 on XP and Activesync does not work via USB (Bluetooth works).
On my home PC I have SP2 on XP and Activesync works via USB.
I guess I have to try to get these files somehow.
Patric
Update: OK, I got netrndis, but I don't have usb_rndis...
Hi Patric,
Thanx for the file!!!
Can you also post: rndismpx.sys AND usb8023x.sys ?
So, hope we will find a solution for non-SPed WinXPs and maybe for non-SPed Win2003
Thx!
OK, the files are attached. Does this help? I'm still missing the USB_rndis.ndi file.
Cheers Patric

Thank you very much for the files! No need for the "usb_rndis.ndi"
It seems to be working on XP but not on my w2k3 box :-(((
Here what to do with files on XP:
1) Open "Drivers" subfolder in your ActiveSync folder (i.e., c:\program files\microsoft activesync\drivers)
2) Copy all three files there: netrndis.inf, rndismpx.sys & usb8023x.sys
3) Put your I-Mate to the cradle
4) When device installation wizard will ask you to proceed with Automatic or Manual installation you need to Choose "Manual". Then open your activesync's Drivers folder. Choose "Windows Mobile-based device" and wait until installation is finishes...
Good Luck!

Have no exact idea cause didn't have such, but try to:
1) Disable ALL possible firewalls
2) Make sure your current ActiveSync Partnership is not "Microsoft Exchange" and if it is, just delete current partnership and create a new one
3) Remove "Email" from your sync list?!
4) Remove "Favorites" from your sync list?!
thx..
but..I have no firewall turned on (i had only microsoft firewall, it's off)
I have never connected to an exchange server, my partnership in activesync is only with my pc.
I have reinstalled activesync, not useful
removing items could help.. i'll give it a try
i'm going to sleep for now, thanks..
I *think* longhorn is very nice, but i'll stay with xp
I copied everything and did the procedure... now I get the error message 'Device can not start (10)'...
Not successful yet...
Patric

hey i downloaded the win2005 and active sync 4 but when iam flashing ma rom and instaling the file an error says that cannot connect or smthn or an error in connection why is that ?

No Progress what so ever!!
ActiveSycn 4.0 Works after all!!!
I fixed my ActiveSync USB problem...
I downloaded ActiveSync 4.0 from Microsoft's web site and instlaled over current AS4.0.
When I placed my MDA2 on the cradle, the same problem persisted, so with the PDA still in the cradle I unplugged the USB connector and then connected it again but to another port. Now the system detected a "new" device and installed properly this time so now it works 100%.
I hope this procedure helps you too!
By the way, I'm on Win XP (no SP2) and USB 1.1
Best regards,
Rayan
Does the activesync 4 can sync WM2003SE? cuz i got problem saying that version incompatible..
Hey, Just wondering if there is a phone suite for the trinity you like the Nokia
so i can send sms's from my phone when it is connected to my laptop??
Cheers all
i don think there would be a phone suite..the windows mobile phone suite would be ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Center(Vista)..you can try this though..its called SPStudio and it allows you to transfer SMS..it worked for my dopod 585 but i havent tried on my D810..but it should work as well.
Sorry..just noticed you meant sendin sms thru phone not transfer..
Pocket Controller and Jeyo Mobile Extender (use with Outlook).

many thanks
thanks i'll give these a try -- should make things a little easier
I had win 2000 and with ASync and every thing works a ok, with desktop connection on to Jas Jar via USB.
I upgraded to win xp sp2, installedt MS ASync 4.5 - since then MS Async has never worked.
Before I installed MS Async and had the jas jar connected via USB, i get the standard windows "new hardware found", I run this wizard buy I get there error, saying cant find software device may not work correctly. So I go ok, lets install MS Async 4.5.
I do this, and I connect the Jas Jar to the desktop PC via usb, yet the MS Async cant find a connection.
Yes the cables are all connected, Zone Alarm turned off, and also the XP sp2 firewall is turned off as well.
Any ideas ????
Active Sync 4.5 changes the way it connects from USB Serial Sync Mode to RNDIS Sync Mode. This can cause problems (it does for me). There is a little Microsoft program called ActiveSync Mode which allows you to change back. I you search on the web & find "ActiveSyncMode.sa.CAB" this will install the program. You then go into programs & you will see a new Icon for ActiveSync Mode. Hope this works for you.
Active sync problems
all worked fine now
thanks for the help guys
was thinking of trading in for an Iphone as they have dropped in price to 169 quid !
anyone think this would be a bad idea ?
I'l give this a go myself.
After experimenting with my exec/universal I discovered Activesync 4.5 on my XP Desktop works with the WM6 ROM but not the WM5 one.
But Vista on my Laptop will sync with Windows Mobile 5
I'll certainly check Activesync mode out then I can go back to WM5 as the Ranju core doesnt have msn otherwise everything works really well on it.
Where does th CAB file install to? I tried it on my XDAmini-s/Vario and it still doesnt sync with Activesync4.5
Hello JohnWB
It works for me too !!!!!!
Thank you very much indeed

Is there any PC software for the HD2, which is similar to Nokia's PC Suite, which would allow me to connect the HD2 to my PC via usb cable, and to type and send the sms from the pc?
this was asked quite a few times allready... try using mymobiler (www.mymobiler.com)... it allows you to use your phone's interface through the computer,so you can use the keyboard to type txt...
Thanks. I done a search, but couldn't find anything
