Has anyone been able to get this to work with their titan? It says compatable on their website but when I launch the program it says it can't use the infared port on my device and exits out.

What's the deal?
bleh just read in forum I guess mogul isn't support...
stinks... anyone know of any other programs that will work? now I get this idea stuck in my head im desperate to use my phone as a remote
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
novii remote can only start if auto recieve beam is set to on
with xv 6800??? I have that turned on and still doesn't work.
no never tried it myself with titan
but with other htc pda's with ir

I know most PDAs only have a small IR range. Has anybody tried the wizzard with one of the many pocket pc remote control software? What was your range like?
I tried noviiremote deluxe and right when i opened up the app it told me that the wizards device is incompatible with the program. so i guess wait for an update on that app, but they're many more remote control apps. give some of them a shot and see for yourself maybe?

No other remote app will work - none of them supports the TI CPU. You may want to check out http://pocketpcmag.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=17874 for more info.
THat's annoying. On my old SE P800, the tv remote worked srom as far away as I could get, come 8 meters!
There is also something else why remote control software won’t work.
IR-DA hardware is not compatible to work as a remote control transmitter because it is mend to be for data communication between two IR-DA devices.
But if your PDA can do it anyway then there is extra hardware build in to do this.
The HP2210 can do this and it worked wonderful.
I’ve been in several waiting room where televisions where shouting all the time. And with the 2210 I could switch them off or lower there volume

Hey everyone! After searching on the forums and other sites for a long time i have came to a holt!
I'm looking for a IR remote control program for my T-Mobile MDA USA WM5 (WIZA200), and I have tried alot of programs... Lets see, so far no luck at all, most of the programs I downloaded install fine and I can run them but no IR ANYTHING! They can't seem to send or 'Learn' any of the IR signals.... So it makes me really frustrated, and I am wanting a program to control my home intertainment center..
If anyone could help with maybe supplying me with a download link or maybe one of the programs that have been 'modded' to run with theWizard then that would be awesome!
Thanks in advance, hope to hear a reply!
i dont think the hardware on the fone is capable to support the function you want....but im not 100% sure
hmm, can anybody confirm this, the wizard does have a IR port, and most of the programs installed and runned fine(other then it couldn't send or receive IR....)
Hi, I just remeber when I was reading some reviews about the wizard that a review had confirmed that:
The reviewer said that he could use the kjam as a remote controller for his TV and DVD player from almost any distance within his room.
I was happy, but I have some doubt with regard to (any distance), since I think that IR range is not enough to send for a 4 meters distance!
I really dont remember where I have read this but I am sure that I have read it, so I think that the wizard is capable of using IR as a remote control, but there is somehow a lack of software support for this issue.
good luck all
Hi, just a corrrection, may be I have mixed things up.
I searched for the topic on the internet and I found that it was talking about JASJAR, here what was exactly written:
"Originally Posted by Tekflow at http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=30449
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.
Good news!"

the link is: http://forum2.mobile-review.com//archive/index.php/t-35506.html
but do you think that the IrDA port of the kjam is very different from JASJAR's?? I really need to know! tell us guys!!
As far as I know Novii is currently looking at the specifications of TI chip so that they could customise their famous Novii TV Remote to work with Wizard.
PPB
So I desided to write a little dilly about what remote programs don't work for the MDA! ( AKA: WIZA200 )!!
So it starts here!
#1 Vito Remote - Will not reconize the IR port! ( What a supprise! lol )
#2 Novii Remote - Don't even start with this one, nice interface though!
#3 Windows remote II ( I think...)
Feel free to add to this list! And if you find a IR remote program for the MDA then please fill us in!
Right now i'm testing Total Remote, but don't get your hopes up, it seems to lock-up when trying to train, but I'm not giving up yet because I might have some settings wrong!
BTW Bust I can't wait for Novii to get that done!
I only have a wallaby, but the hardware is just about the same, as far as the IR is concerned.
I'm not familiar enough with the newer devices, but I do know that the ir components in the wallaby/BA, and many other pda devices from that time period, are capable of being used as remotes, with the only real drawback being transmit distance (the hardware is not the same as a real remote controller).
I use pdawin's tv remote 5.5, and it works about 8 feet or so (about 3 meters). it learns and what not.....
another post I have read says that netremote from proximus also works..... good luck
i'm not sure about the jasjar, but keep in mind that consumer ir is what has a much longer distance
my clie worked really far away
i tried the jam's ir and it was 2 meters ish
haven't tried the wizard's ir for remote though
Hmm, see the thing with the Wizard is that I can't find a program that will reconize the IR port, it's not a distance problem.... So if anyone knows of a remote program for the Wizard, then that would be awesome!
don't bother
It's not worth your time. Both the jasjar and the wizard have FIR or Fast infared which means it will only transmit about 2.5 feet (if your lucky)away from the reciever. You need to find devices that use CIR or commercial infared. I'm pretty sure they don't make one in a minisd format so you will have to play the waiting game. Another way aroung this is to get a remote repeater and have your infred port right next ot it but that sucks also

It seems that JASJAR users are more lucky than u think, they got their remote control functioning from 'nearly any distance'
See my upper post and good luck
novii remote works fine
see this threwad for a similar discussion:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43678&highlight=
just installed the novi 4.0 beta trial version and it works with my wiza200.
distance varies:
TV aprox. 3m
DVD (is on floor): 1.5 m
but TV is fine for me since the original remote broke into pieces and is just hold together with tesa.
Tried noviiremote and it will not work at all.
All the reviews say it does have irda but the HTC site is not clear.
Any ideas?
If it does can anyone recommend remote control software?
Thanks
someone must know if it has Irda!!
trinity have irda. I have novi remote deluxe and works fine.. but you have to stay near the receiver 1 or 2 m (TV or other...)

I tried also with the NOVII remote deluxe, and the maxium range is 2m. Which is no point to use this as "remote" right??
It's definately there...
...but it's really only designed for device to device data transfer, not for use as a TV remote control, etc. The IRDA "eye" is also annoyingly place on the bottom of the device, meaning you generally have to turn it upside down to transfer stuff!

Sure, its designed for data transfer but many other PPC have an IRDA port which with enough power to control a tv in a range of 4-6 meters.
The place of the IRDA eye is not a problem. There are some programs which can flip the screen upside down. I often do that because i have an IRDA Keyboard.

novii remote will invert screen but I could not get it to work at all. Maybe I was not close enough

Do you mean it won't invert by itself when you launch noviiremote on your handheld? I'm asking because this application will do it by itself on my PDA

Well, at least you can use your handheld as a wake-up remote:
novii have just surprised me - they released the WAWA alarm software (http://novii.tv/pocketpc/wawa), that will let your handheld turn on your TV (or whatever) to wake you up in the morning. I liked it so much!
Moreover, it can be used as a conventional alarm software with all functions that any alarm software will have.
Hello, I have got two PDA, HP HX4700 and HTC P3600. Novii remote with the HP 4700 has a range of 15mt the P3600 only 1 mt. The internal codes of noviremote works fine with the HP HX4700 but doesn't works with P3600. The only way to use noviremote with P3600 is use the learning mode for every device, I don't know why.

Hmmm... This never happened to me. Noviiremote should work finr with your P3600. I think you should contact NoviiMedia support team, they are quick to respond and usually resolve any issue. Good luck!
hi every one. first post here.
i have tried to get my vario2 to act as a universal remote and as of yet not much luck. i have tried using winpda remote software and nevo software but it just doesnt work. has any body had any success with this type of application?
cheers

I used to use some similar software with my P900......unfortunatly the IRDA port on the Hermes isnt particularly powerful so you really dont get much range out of it
Try next to the device, then try a typical distance away...say 10 feet (i think that would be a realistic distance to use a remote??).

LOL I tried it to some time ago, it has a range of 15 cm LOOOL IRDA just sucks, I dont understand why HTC even put this crab in there models..

For that exact purpose, IRDA! The infra red port is not intended to be used as a universal remote controller
The IRDA port on the P900 was also crappy but i got about a 5 foot range LOL!
thats what i never understood, i liked the idea first off of doing a remote using the phone but having to walk upto the TV or DVD sorta makes it pointless.
novii remote works great on my 8525..it works better on my daughters ****ty little 13" better then my plasma haha
i read about a software package that worked on wifi for media centres. does any one know the name of it?
I have used VITO Remote on my 6700, and it worked great. I have also had no luck with any remote control software on the 8525, VITO, Nevo, etc. I will tell you this much, my attempts had NOTHING come from the IRDA port. I took my 6700's camera to watch for the light and there was nothing. To make sure my IRDA port worked, I went to explorer and had it send a file, that showed activity on the port, so I know it works, just not with the RC programs I've tried. I'm going to try the NoviiRemote and see if I can get that to work and report back.
Just downloaded and tried NoviiRemote Deluxe. Nope, didn't work. I got errors straight away. I am however running a cooked WM6 ROM, so it might be a compatability issued with WM6. My previous attempts with VITO and Nevo were with the most recent HTC rom running WM5, so I know it wasn't an issue with WM6
Ok, call me stuborn. I got NoviiRemote to work. Infared is on COM3, and so I naturally used that and it didn't work. I noticed IRDA is on COM1 and tried that. VOILA! Using my webcam, I see blinkies!! So I put it in learn mode, program in my controls for my plasma and it works. Not the best mind you, I have to be under 4' from it, but it does work.
Because I'm on a roll, I try VITO and Nevo. Nevo I can't configure it to a specific port, so that isn't gonna work, and VITO pops up saying it's not compatible with my processor. No matter, I like that NoviiRemot flips the screen for orientation with the infrared port on the bottom of my 8525.
LMAO just walk over and change channels
remote
I use novii no problem on my herms
range is average, but go the custom set-up and works a treat on my Sony amp, tv/dvd/settop box, and xbox.
my 2cents
cheers
Novii Remote works great on my Hermes - not a glitch!
I have a dell axim x5 also.. I do remember a 3rd party IR upgrade kit was available, making the range nice and long.
Has anyone seen such a thing for the hermes ?
Someone knows any TV Remote controler compatible with the Treo Pro processor?
Thanks!
I have experience with Novii Remote on my old 700wx. It was a neat program - I loved the customization on it, but the range on the phone's infrared was horrible. I had to be within a meter of the television for it to operate, and it had to be DIRECT line of sight. Not worth the time.
I am curious though, I wonder if my Pro has a more powerful emitter....
more about Novii here: http://www.novii.tv/
Novii Remote is a rly great app, but doesnt works on palm pro
They says "Screen resolution unsuported" (something like that)
I never found a software that worked with TREO PRO. I tested a bunch of them but none worked for me. I also appreciate if someone could help on this.
all my tv's are run by computers... 'htpc's'... so in the past when i wanted to do this i used a bluetooth remote control plugin. worked well actually...but of course it wont help you with normal tv's.
