Does anyone know of any software that can mimic remote controls via the infrared transceiver?
I have a receiver on computer and other devices such as the TV and am wondering if it should be possible to grab some software to learn the codes and be able to control the computer/TV with the PDA IR like i do with the standard remote control.
Or if anyone knows whether it should be possible to write some software (perhaps in java) to achieve this? As far as i've researched the java framework as standard with windows mobile 5 is MIDlet/MIDP which from looking at the specification doesn't appear to contain any IR interfaces/information.
Thanks
Hello gratz,
Check http://www.novii.tv/pocketpc/, works fine in my JJ.
Best regards, araappa
Any free / open source ones?
Haven't located any yet, anyone have any more info on this?
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)

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:

Anybody found a good application that works well as a bluetooth remote control for Windows Media Player or winamp or divx?
I use Salling Clicker, it does pretty much all you ask but unfortunately it's not free.

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.

Thanks VJ, I've had reports that some latest version of the Widcomm stack might do the trick, but if you could keep me posted on your tests, I'd be interested too
Thanks !

I second this. I've used it on my 7610, 6682 and now my 8525. It's fantastic. Plus you can control with either bluetooth or wifi

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?
Trying to figure out if there was ever a real Java VM developed for WM6. I know my TyTn II has something called Esmertec Jbed but when I try to run a MIDlet it says "the MIDlet could not be instatiated: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError"
Could someone else try this out and see if they have better luck?
http://startofentry.blogdns.org/space/MobileControl/MobileControl+Midlet
Otherwise I'm looking for recoomendations on an application to use my WM6 device as a remote over bluetooth mapped to keystrokes on my vista box.
Thanks,
Devan

1. no BT in any J2ME's, sorry - read my MIDlet Bible.
2. check out my remote Bibles for alternates - for example, http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...s for Windows Mobile - the Definitive Roundup . I recommend for example PPC Tablet Remote Control Suite
Thanks for the write-up really shows a lot of options out there for media control.
I'm trying to use this to control XBMC, which primarily uses just the simple arrow keys. I got really excited by PPC Tablet Remote Control Suite but it seems that the keypresses don't work correctly in XBMC. That is to say that when I test them in another window they work, but then in XBMC I have no luck.
Then I tried jaylee.org’s Bluetooth Remote Control for Windows Mobile but I can't get the WM client to discover the server app.
Really I just need something that allows me to map controls on the display of my phone to keypresses at the PC (like the above programs)
Handy comparison table though.
hi, I have made a small application to retreive nmea information from my bluetooth GPS on my HTC Tytn phone ( wm6 )
I developped it using microsoft visual studio 2008 pro avec wm6 pro sdk.
I would like to include a button to activate/desactivate the bluetooth from my application, any idear how I could do that plz ?
You'll find native functions and description in the SDK-Help.
Anyway, bluetooth is not simple to handle.
I'd recommend to use a freeware called 32feet to use bluetooth functions in .NET.
I's a library which does the wrapping of native DLL-functions to .NET.
You can find it on codeplex.com.
But keep in mind that it is not guaranteed to work properly, because there are 3-4 different bluetooth stacks on the market and the library does not work with all of them.
Hi,
if I good remeber someone on XDA have made some library to enable/disable BT/Wifi/Phone, and it was make in C# or VB... and there was near 1 or 2 month ago.
I don't know how to find his post but the good users could help you...
Sorry for this little help Hope you'll find !
I've been messing around with the 32Feet libraries (6.1 Touch Cruise with MS stack) and found them to be very useful and reliable so far. But the may be overkill for simply turning Bluetooth on and off. VJVolubilis (http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJVolubilis) may give you what you want but it looks to be only compatible with the MS stack too.

Would like to help, but I like to work on your code. So if you can post it then I will see if I could put these buttons on
Anyone here know anything about hacking the Ford Sync navigation systems? Im told its windows mobile based, maybe windows ce? I really dont know for sure.
what i really want to do is let my android take over the touchscreen so my phone will be displayed on the nav screen. Just cant find many people who want to experiment with their cars. Ill be willing to test but need help developing.
If anyone else is interested in this project please let me know!
FORD Sync is based on the Microsoft Windows Embedded Automotive operating system. It should be possible to pair this WinCE unit with your Android based phone via Bluetooth. Bluetooth enables information to be sent between electronic devices that have Bluetooth.
Im not talking about pairing the phone with sync, im talking about my phone taking over sync.
I, like many others, want to use and access apps from the touchscreen. For example, i like google nav. I want to have google navigation displayed on my sync touchscreen and audio from my car speakers. same for pandora, ect.
OR, car home?
I do not believe Bluetooth is fast enough to handle the video, so this project will likley require the device to be plugged into the usb port.
A start will be hacking in and installing a feature that displays video from the usb. next steps would be getting the touch screen to work with the device and support audio(audio can be via Bluetooth anyways)
I would be happy if you could shell out to the CE interface
I have done some programming on CE and XP Embedded and we used to program with almost a full desktop installed then at last minute before delivery to customer we would remove most of the windows interface except a blank desktop and an application launch icon only. I wish we could enable all of the modules in this release. Pretty much anything windows can do...
On Sync if we could still run the standard apps and shell out to use the functionality of CE or XPE that would be awesome. Then you could just use visual studio express and program away for free. (may have to buy CE plugin ) Many Apps are available already.
Oh well I doubt any of this will happen but I would even pay for the keys to unlock Sync from Ford if they offered it!
What about Raspberry Pi integration rather than an Android? If the nav could be used as a display and input interface, the possibilities would be endless. Where can we start?

Good thing i have 2.
Thats the big question, how to use the nav screen that way. The RP would probably be better since it will be way easier to add the touchscreen interface. I wonder if we could just configure the screen to have a 2nd input that can be switched back and forth? sound would be an issue but a good second step.
I know this is an old post but here is a link. Ford finally open sourced their information. http://openxcplatform.com/
