Wi-Fi (802.11g) now available in all HTC Wizard

If im reading this right (click the link below) has anyone tested this hack on both the wizard and Universal (exec/Jasjar etc)

Be good to know, and be great if the Exec allowed this also!

Bryson, seems to work fine on Uni according to this post

I suggest you use only the necessary registry tweaks, not the Wizard specific cab in that thread (which also tries to enable the Uni's non-existant keyboard indicator)

im off reading up on this now, thanks for letting me know!

Just to say that I added a new post to my original one later that day just in case people start rushing off with duff info:
Well I could see my g only network before and no matter what settings (54g-Auto, 54gLRS, 54g only) I tried I couldn't connect but now I can connect and surf brilliantly using either 54g-auto or 54glrs but after changing my router to g only it will not connect so it has definitely changed something but maybe I was hasty to say is now 54g - my bad

Soince i used this cab on the universal icannot connect anymore to my wifi router. I see the network but cannot manage to log to it.
Could someone give me the original registry values of the qtek in the com in order to restore them to their normal settings in te registry.
I made a mistake and used the cab for the wizard so more registry tuning has been done without my knowledge.
But beware of trying the cab on your unversal and sequel as the effects are a bit surprising: you can see your network but cannot log in.

Dyndns client for Pocket PC ?

I search and found something called PocketDyndns, however i never able to reach the site, does anyone know other programs can do ???
Since I want to config my firewall will only allow me to telnet in, however GPRS is not a fix IP, so I hope i set my firewall to recognize the xxx.dyndnd.org all i need is to update my IP to the DNS record.

Ever heard of the hidden, hard-to-find, brand-new and useless search machine Google? Here you can click on the second link and voila!

i know this thread is old, but anyone got any better leads i swear i been up and down and thru that list but whatever was the 2nd link isn't available anymore.
Nor does there seem to be much else.
It would be very convenient for the ftp, http, inbound via GPRS people if a ActiveSync/"Internet" aware PocketPC/Windows Mobile Dynamic IP app was available.
Any ideas?

Yup, it seems it has been completely removed from http://www.networkdweebs.com/stuff/dyndns/ . The parent directory, which is visible ( http://www.networkdweebs.com/stuff/ ) doesn't contain it any more.
Therefore, mail the dev at [email protected] and ask them how you can get the app. Please also post a message in here too if you get any positive answer.

I just find that site...

The best part is: when you follow the link, the second result is this thread

Thanks!
It worked on my htc touch pro 2, WinMo 6.5.
Although it can not start with system and minimized to background.

I've tried 'Webcamera Plus' from Ateksoft to try out the security cam functionality and it seems to work quite well, not sure how good it is with MSN e.t.c, but there is a demo available.
http://www.ateksoft.com
There are a few threads here on it too.

thanks for the reply digital.diablo, but correct me if i am wrong, it appears that the webcam plus software transforms the camera function on ur phone (such as the htc x7500) into a webcam that can use for your PC, and not a webcam that can be used of the phone it self to have a live video conference.
is that right? if so, any other ideas?
thanx

Ahh, sorry, misunderstood what you were after. Yeah, Webcamplus is simply a way of using the onboard camera in your gadget as a webcam, so you could use it to video conference from your pc.
Not sure about your conferencing from the PDA though I'm afraid. Good luck on your quest!

thank you bilalperwaiz.
i'll think about it. i doubt my friends would be interested to install a new software just so i can use my video viewers. maybe there is a messenger service that connects to all messenger services and has the software support to video calls.
if anyone knows of such a software do share the info

Software to view webcam ?

Is there any software or service or something like that with which i can view the webcam at home through my cellphone. i need i to work with the t-mo proxy, even images taken every couple secs would work.
Thanks in advance

I have some software at home that does this.. so if no one comes up w the answer by the time I get home, I'll post it.

Even a website or something that can be viewed as a stream by the wing would work.
Any1 know something like that ?

its UCee I think.

Hmm it says its suppose to work but i cant get it to work with my webcam, anyone tried this ?

i already know about webcam plus and its great, but im looking for something to do the opposite, to view a webcam on the pc from a different source (my computer's camera)
thanks for ur help though =)
UCee offers exactly what im looking for but i cant get it 2 work.. =/

Ok you have a webcam running on a home PC and you want to be able to view that cam anytime from your wing right?
Run Active webcam PLUS at home and it has an option to run a webbased viewer.
http://www.pysoft.com/ActiveWebCamMainpage.htm
You will have to open your firewall maybe to get the webcam to go out and publish the page.

there is no word about be able to do webcamera on a windows pc with the phone... sorry orb live wont do it
i would like to use the nexus one as a webcamera for my laptop and viewing webcams on the n1...

I've done it with orb... no problem.
Make sure you set up their latest edition and use it through the web browser. Their app sucks... through the browser its free

I can see how you can use a PC Webcam and bring it to the N1 using this software, but I really don't see how to do the opposite.
How do I use the N1 as the webcam that's viewable on a PC?

qik anybody?

aad4321 said:
google it. i know there is a dev out there who has a working on on 1.6. He hasent done 2.1 yet because he does not have a N1 to test with. currently i do not believe their is an app or way to do this yet

I have "googled it". What search terms would you suggest to get some relavent results? When I do searches I typically end up with two hits that at first seem like they might be useful. The first goes to google's forum and is worthless... the next one links to this very thread.
Two different people here have said they've done it with orb... it's pretty reasonable to ask them how they did it since doing searches on orb's site don't give anything fruitful.

Why do you keep posting off topic?
Let's start over and read the question being asked and see if there's a solution.
We all know that Orb will let you stream a webcam that's connected TO YOUR PC to your phone.
That is NOT what we're trying to accomplish.
We'd like to be able to (as the thread states) "N1 using as a webcam" Use the N1's built in camera to stream live video to another place.
I would like to be able to set the phone down, aim it's camera at something and then have someone else... PC across the planet... whatever... be able to see what the phone is aimed at.
Does anyone know how to do that?

Now that's what I'm talkin about. Good find. Will try out and report back.
*edit* This must have been removed from the market. I even went to the publisher's page on the phone and clicked the market link they have there and it takes you to a "no matches" page... boo...
do you still have the 0.4 apk?

I do. I'll rip it when I get home if I remember, but you'll also need a software client on the PC side which I do not have.
Looks like it's still here though: http://www.placaware.com/?page_id=6

Yea, that's the point I'm at... I wonder why they took it down.
The only issue I'm seeing is that they say it only gets 3fps... that ... kinda sucks.
*edit* and thanks for grabbin the apk off your phone later.. I appreciate it.

Another issue I'm having, and maybe it's just because I don't have it attached to a computer yet, but everything is rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise on my n1 and a portion of the bottom mirrors the image.
