INFRA RED IN UNIVERSAL/JASJAR: VERY POWERFUL

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 "
Cannot find rcii_help.exe"

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 .

TV Remote Control

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....

***Bluetooth and IR Remotes***

I may be completely off my rocker here but is there a way to use the Bluetooth or IR on my wizard to control lets say... windows media player on my computer? Or change channels on a tv?
Are there any programs out there that are written for this kind of application? Thanks for the help in advance.

I have an old PDA iPAQ with no phone capability but it had an app
called NEVO which controlled anything IR like TVs and DVD players
but I've not seen anything yet on an xda.
I'll keep my eyes open.

Call for Wizard IR Remote software!
You might be thinking of NoviiRemote from Novii http://novii.tv
So far their product does not support the Wizard despite repeated attempts (from multiple wizard owners) to get an idea of when it will... they keep saying "they're working on it" but have been saying that since Oct. 2005.
FWIW, I've tested the following competing "universal remote" applications and couldn't get any to work on the Wizard:
- Vivo Remote
- Universal RemoteCE
- UltraMote
- Total Remote (locked the Wizard... had to remove battery)
- Remote Control II (big time failure, couldn't find images)
- TV remote controller (says no Wizard support on homepage)
- NoviiRemote =(
Each were installed to Storage Card (1 at a time). All of them didn't seem find the IR hardware, with error codes varying from non-existent to not even running / crashing. Nearly all the apps would not uninstall cleanly (running WM5 v1.6.8 WWE) had to manually remove.
Clearly there is an opportunity for someone here... there is no competition on Wizards, all this someone has to do is support the OMAP hardware and Wizard users will come running.
Any takers? =)

No he's thinking of NEVO (http://www.mynevo.com/), I too have NEVO bundled on my HP IPaq RX3715 and it's a very slick program, it used to be that you could only get it bundled but I believe they're starting to sell it as a stand alone product now.
The problem with this remote software is that to use it effectively you have to make sure that the IR type built into your device is cIR rather than the more common sIR etc as they have pretty drastic differences in their ranges. So you can get software but if you have sIR then you'll need to be on top of the TV to change the channel.

there is a beta version of novii remote that works on the wizard, its available in there forum.
range is over 2 meters which isn't too bad. i'll post a link if I can find it
R
edit: heres the link http://www.novii.tv/up/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2667

Yes Novii does indeed work but dont expect the same kind of response as an ipaq. They are fitted with commercial grade ir which works more like a normal remote. The wizard ir has to be lined up directly with the ir receiver.
Its much quicker to get up and change the channel :lol:

true but it is fun to turn the sound up on tv's on display in shop windows or inside stores

I know Salling Clicker works great on my Treo. Have not purchased it for Windows Mobile 5 yet. Still I would give it a try. Via bluetooth it controls your medai player, itunes, power point and lets your PDA function as track pad.

I've been lookng for something similar too. Here's the ultimate program for just that. I've used it before for my Palm 650 and didn't realize they made it for PPC as well.
I've just made buttons for WMP and it works like a charm. Connects through IR, Serial port, or WIFI so there's no distance problem. Pebbles program lets you control your computer or programs running on your computer. Try it out, its free and probably one of the best programs that you can configure everything on your own!

As wilesd mentioned, there is a free version, you just have to hunt for it. I use LogMeIn remote, and paid $1000 for 25 clients, but that's less than half the price of the best price I was quoted for GoToMyPC for an equivalent set of user licenses. GoToMyPC is the only other GUI software I found that works, but the WM5 version of LogMeIn is faster than GoToMyPC.
You could easily control WMP or winamp remotely, although logging in to do so will take a few minutes. I'm not sure if this is a solution that would work for you, as it is an IP-based solution... not exactly the kind of 'remote' in which you seem interested.

remoteamp
i use remoteamp, its a nice prog and it controlls Winamp and Media player via Wifi. and you can see al the files on you PDA for scrolling and so.
good app.

bluetooth remote control

hi! before my tytn i had nokia smartphone and i had program for bluetooth remote control. (control freak) now i have tytn, but i can't find good program. i need program, that controls winamp quickly and smooth. there are many winamp plugins, but they are very, very buggy and connects 1 per million. my old control freak connects for 2 seconds, the connection in strong and it had desktop control (the desktop screen appeared on my nokia)
so please i need such a program for partys and for comfort.
10x, very much!

I'm looking for something similar...
(on my Nokia, I was using Puppetmaster; but while there are .jar and ppc clients, I can't get them to work)
Jörg

I'll publish a BIG roundup on all these questions very soon (as did I with "full" remote control solutions - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1092389 ) - stay tuned

Oh my, i loved control freak. It's an excellent prog with sexy GUIs. right now i'm using RemoteAmp for my PPC, not bad but it runs over wifi. Or you could run it over EDGE/GPRS/3G. Overall it's great, it GUI isn't that sexy, but it's workable.

Puppetmaster allowed one to control different programs (WinAmp, Zoom Player, Media Player, Powerpoint, Acrobat, ...) and allowed one to add scripts to get support for other non-natively supported softwares.
I'm currently actually still using my old Nokia as a remote (I kept it as a backup device)...
Jörg

PuppetMaster is great ("fantastic" is the word ), but I wish the developer would continue the development...
Perhaps this is an option:

Jaylee1024,
Up till now, I haven't been able to test your software, as I'm using a Widcomm stack on my PC's...
I'm about to reinstall my system, and before installing Widcomm, I'll give your software a test (given the bluetooth features I use, the MS stack may suffice for me).
But I have found a software (Altiris SVS) that might be used to allow switching between both bluetooth stacks, so I'll also see if/how that goes...
Jörg

I use PPC tablet. It is not that good looking but easy to use. You have different profiles for different programms and you can make your own profile realy easy.

Apparently, that utility can't really be used to swap bluetooth stacks. But I now have the weird situation where both WidComm and MS Bluetooth stack are active at the same time . I'm not sure what this is doing to the stability of my system though , or if both effectively work, so I'll need to test some things first.

Hi again,
I have in stalled the latest Salling CLicker 3.0.1.347, but when prompted to setup my device i am unsure which to choose. The choices are:- http://www.salling.com/Clicker/windows/devices.php
I have tried WM5/Smartphone and a few Dopod ones (I have a Dopod 838Pro) and when I open Salling Clicker on the phone i get "Fatal Error Service Unavailable most likely cause is incompatible device or faulty installation".
Has anybody successfully set it up?
Cheers, hawsktf

Handset requires rebooting after installing Salling Clicker... It's all good

Also, don't forget to check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294524 - it's the long-promised roundup.

Does anybody out there have, or know where to find some Salling Clicker scripts for Hermes?

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.

Though my BenQ P50 WM2003 had Agilent software's preinstalled 'Universal remote control' which had a powerful IR on top front side and I could operate my any devices like TV/cd/dvd/LDplayer/AC/light/fan/curtains etc with that preinstalled 'universal remocon' software from Agilent software Pte Ltd. version 1.31 from a distance of 10-15feet distance and interestingly this NRDelux from this forum also worked beautifully despite of being "Universal Recon" pre-installed. but same NDRDelux is not working on my i-mate Ultimate 8150 whice is having the IR Port on the same position as the BenQ P50 while pressing anysoft-button 'the infrared port is used by an another application' error displays

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
