Hello,
I have set up my Shift now, but there are some questions left. So I hope you can help me.
1. As a tablet PC i tried to draw something with Paint.net. I did not work, because somehow the pen was not recognized. It acted like a normal mouse, which is being moved. But in the standard paint it works flawless. I can draw with the stylus without any problem.
Do you know, why this is not working in Paint.net? Or do you know an other working alternative?
2. I unlocked my German SnapVue and tried to install the Office 6.1 from modaco. It installs, but after a soft reset I can not start that applications.
Do you know an office mobile 6.1 version, which works with a German device?
3. If I have WLAN and the 3G Modem both enabled, how can I be sure, that the WLAN connection is used?
Can I change it somewhere in Vista, so that WLAN is only used, even if the 3G Modem is there?
4. When I am online under Vista only with the cellular line, which network type should I choose?
Home, Office or public network?
5. I have only a 5GiB data for 3G. What should I do to count the internet traffic of Vista and SnapVue together?
Till now these are my questions. Thx in advance
edit:
6. I thought it crashed and so I softreseted several times: Initial syncing of the calendar needs more than 30minutes!!!
How can this be? The rest syncs fast as usual.

Some points I am not sure, but did you try launching the .exe files of office within the PROGRAMME folder?
Maybe the links (verknuefungen) are pointing towards the default English folder.
About Wifi...I think if you dont use Internet Connection Sharing, Vista is bound to use Wifi. So make sure ICS is off and not running in the background. Better close it in SETTINGS>>> MEMORY (Einstellungen > Speicher..oder so)
the lack of a proper X button to close apps is bothering me the most.
X button on WM
I'm using a QuickMenu 2.7, which is free and provides a better menu system than standard WM, plus a few features, including X-button (configurable) and screen rotation.
Hope this helps.

If because of the low memory you just want the smallest X-button util, just use the HTC X-button, takesup little room and does the job!
1.
i installed it just now on my tablet though not shift but also with a pasive digitizer
and it works for me used 3.35 beta
3.
network connection->properties for the wanted network connection
choose tpc/ip->properties->advanced
and set metric yourself
lowest number will always be used over higher ones so if you set the wifi to lower it will be used when 3g is on too

Thanks. I might install that when I run out of space. I like the screen rotation on QuickMenu for reading whole pages in portrait mode. Is there a low memory solution for that too?

I informed myself about this feature and you are right. This lets me prioritize my connection.
But: I found out, that the Shift disconnect the 3G Modem from Vista (but not from Windows Mobile), if I enable WLAN. So I don't have to do anything, it works as it should.
About my 5th question:
Because the 3G Modem is only the connected over Windows Mobile to Vista, I can use any datacounter on Windows Mobile site and it counts all my traffic. I use BatteryStatus
I am very impressed with Quickmenu, expecially it's rotation facility. Many thanks for letting me know about this freeware program.

You want to know how to run Windows Vista on Athena? Well, read on!
Firstly, is not really installing the Vista on Athena, i uses the terminal client services to remote control my desktop.
This is the application i use, it's the TCS in WM6, at least 10x better then the original WM5 one. Simply install it and run it, you will have to have knowledge of remote desktop to set this up. I will not try to cover here because there are some ways. Do a search on the net and you will find lots of into.
Below i attach the WM6 TCS and a screen shot of my Vista Ready Athena!
Haha, you got yourself a UMPC now.
That looks Amazing...

It's never gonna work for me...I'm using XP Home Edition. Home Edition does not support Remote desktop/TCS, even though the application comes with it.
Confirmed by microsoft. It will work with XP Pro though! Might just upgrade it then, but can't remember if that wipes all of my installed apps? Don't fancy re-installing them...way too many.

Hey Wu. Can you or anyone else who has successfully got the WM6 Remote Desktop to work on the Athena please give me some guidance?
1st. Thanks for the link Slave 1.....the web based 'LogMein' works a treat!
Wu..I done a clean install of XP Pro (supports TCS and Remote Desktop) and I installed all necessary components for XP & Remote Desktop. Activated 'Allow users....to Remote Desktop' etc.. My problem is not knowing what to put in the 'Domain' section in the WM6 Remote Desktop application. Is Domain the same as IP? Forgive my ignorance on this...I'm a noob to this..
If it's IP info required for this part, which one? I think I have a static IP address, but am not sure. When I check my IP over the web it is different to what shows up for my PC??!!
I'm confused now. This I believe is my only glitch now. Help please. 'LogMeIn.com' works fine, but it's implementation leaves a lot to be desired and all of you guys seem to really like the WM6 style.
Pointers please.

you don't really need to type in anything in the domain, you can leave it blank, the most important part is the first one, the computer name, you have to type in the IP address of your computer, or your actual computer name if you are connecting on a local network. check your computer IP, and just put it in there, it should work.
Hi
I have a problem in that i can only get the remote working via wi-fi (same network) but when im away and i type the ip adress while on t-mobile internet, i can't connect at all. i have disabled firewall and anti virus but still can't connect. I can only connect while im on the same network
any ideas?

you need to forward the port, if i remember correctly, it's 3389 to your computer IP. Do a search on xda about port forwarding

I'm interesting in the current asking price of a Universal.
My primary interest is to use it with the RDP client to connect to windows due to its VGA screen - and thats about it.
Is it still quite an expensive bit of kit? And are there any hopes of swapping Blue Angel for one, as thats only a QVGA screen.
Cheers for any advice that can be given.
FYI, RDP client is there only in WM6(which has its share of bugs). If you use those files in WM5 for RDP client, you cannot use the built in hard keyboard or soft(onscreen) keyboard.
Note: RDP is not there in any WM5 ROM
I have a .cab that runs perfectly on my WM5 rom for the BA.
I've attached the one I use fine on BA.

Yes, only if you use WM6. As I have already said, using the abovementioned cab by you wont let you enter any input via keyboard. So, if you can live with the issues of wm6(mainly, inability to connect to wpa-tsk wifi network and some video call issues), then, you'll be happy with universal

Not true, if you install the above CAB on WM5, then you can use fullscreen RDP and there is no problem with the hardware keyboard at all! I just tried it yesterday on my WM5 Uni, it works great! There are a few bugs with it however:
- You must manually connect to the internet first, the RDP client will not connect for you. If you don't do this, then the RDP client will just report a strange error message.
- The "fit remote desktop to screen" option is permanently enabled. It doesn't make any difference if you tick this option box or not. This means that the remote screen will always be 640x480, which is no problem for me.
- It doesn't seem to close properly on first attempt. I have the X button of SPB Pocket Plus, and this does not close it first time - I have to ALT+TAB back to it and close it a second time before it will be properly closed.
Some or all of these bugs may only appear on WM5, but they are all very minor IMHO. Once again I can confirm that both fullscreen 640x480 VGA mode and the hardware keyboard on the Uni works perfectly in WM5, so enjoy!!! This new RDP client is incredibly fast and responsive, I use it all the time to connect to my home PC with the T-Mobile unlimited 3G data plan
Hello,
I think that there should be a way to get the MicroPad working on Windows Mobile side of HTC Shift without have the Vista started.
There are few nice tools which can show use that there can be found a way. First nice tool is True Connect from raspberrysoftware.com which once installed in Vista you can use your MicroPad even in Windows Mobile (SnapVue liberated) side but this only when Vista is started.
Other nice tool is BlueMouse from teksoftco.com and this allow any bluetooth mouse to work directly on any Windows Mobile without to have any Vista started but we do not have Bluetooth on HTC Shift Windows Mobile side yet.
I think that what we need is the MicroPad drivers for Windows Mobile 6 which once installed can let the MicroPad work on Windows Mobile side without Vista started. Ofcourse if the MicroPad is "diabled" to not be seen from SnapVue as for Bluetooth, WiFi and SD cards then we have a problem with that.
If you're looking for something that does the same that True Connect (and maybe something more...) but is compltely free, have a look at MyMobiler (www.mtux.com).
I've installed it and it works very well. Moreover you can have the screen of your (liberater) WMSide under vista, interacting with it without switching with hw-button: very usevìful to cut-copy-paste from Vista to WM.

With True Connect you can also have the WM screen on Vista side but this application is not free. Anyway the main ideea of this topic is to found a way to have MicroPad mouse working on WM side without need to start Vista because once Vista is started the battery goes down and there are many actions we can complete under WM without need to run Vista. This is why I think that to have MicroPad active under WM is very useful. If anyone know a way for that or have any ideea to get this working please let us know.

Not necessarily! You should bear in mind that the Shift is in effect two separate systems joined via USB with a built in KV switch allowing the keyboard and video to be shared. It may well be that the mousepad "device" is only physically connected to the Vista side of the device which would mean you could never get it working natively with SnapVue/Windows Mobile.
I am of the opinion that the same is most likely true of the SD card/WiFi/Bluetooth elements of the device - I've yet to see or hear any evidence to the contrary.

Dave

I also thought at that and if this is true then this is really bad news because there is no way to have Bluetooth, SD Card or WiFi active on SnapVue/Windows Mobilw side. Anyway we have confirmed that not only keyboard and video is shared, the GSM modem is also shared, the same for speakers (but seems that there is no microphone on SnapVue/WM6 as tested with Skype). Anyway I still hope that there is a way to have all these enabled and available on SnapVue/WM6 too.

No! The GSM modem *device* is most definitely not shared. The GSM modem is an integral part of the WinMo side of the Shift - all that is happening in Vista is that the connection established on the WinMo side is shared via NDIS sharing over the USB connection - in pretty much the same way as you could do with a separate WinMo phone and a USB cable.
Regards,
Dave
It's a nice thought to have everything working on both sides of the Shift, but the mouse pad working on the WinMo side is the least of our worries! The touchscreen is far more usable than that tiny mouse pad. I tried the mouse pad briefly the day I got my Shift, but I don't think I've touched it since.
http://mymobiler.com/
This allows you to view your Windows Mobile on the Vista side. It also enables a mouse cursor on Windows Mobile, if you move your mouse right or left from your desktop (you can also disable this).
OK, but what about no microphone support on SnapVue/WM6 side? I just installed Skype, speaker sound is OK but I can't use the microphone and I can't see any settings on WM6 to turn on the microphone.

No, I never do that. I just flashed my phone with the custom ROM 2.0 with OperaMini, GPS, Google Maps , RealVGA, Total Commander... inside and after that I get 30 Mb free space and all is OK but there is no microphone when I try to use Skype PocketPC latest version.

it's my fault... I posted a while ago that the Microphone in WinMo works 100%.
I can't reproduce that. I'm starting to wonder if I was correct with my observation.
If the mic ever worked, it was on the base ROM, un-liberated European version.
I send some mails from my device with :insert voice note: from the email client, and back then I strongly believed it worked , as people reply-ed to those mails with text that implicated they heard my message.
The GSM Codec selection is useful when sending audio in email attachments, as the filesize is only 2Kbyte per second, ot a little less actually.
So I might be proven wrong, I apologize.

Is better that you know that microphone was available on the non-liberated SnapVue because if this is true then you can find a way to have the microphone active also on your custom ROM version. I was afraid that microphone was not available on the SnapVue side only because the voice was "disabled". Without microphone we can't use voice on SnapVue/WM6 side even with Skype installed. This is bad news for us and I hope that this can be fixed and released soon. Thanks.

Hi everyone,
I am new here and the owner of a HTC Snap for about one month now. However, I was wondering if it is in any way possible to map network drives (linux and windows) from my home lan on my snap through WIFI?
I've been trying to google this, but couldn't find a definite answer on this issue.
Standard devices (non touch screen) lack the abiltity to browse a network. Total Commander will get you half way there, but instead of using the IP address use the NetBIOS. You will have to find an older version of TC, since the newest version has had the LAN connection removed for Smartphones.. Resco may still have it though
You can use Microsoft Live Mesh (the beta is open enrollment) goto www.mesh.com sign in then select add then at the bottom of the screen you will see a link that says something like "use mesh on your mobile phone" click that to get the .cab file, once installed onto your device you can connect to live mesh, which you can then set up to shared folders on your network.
Thnx for the reply. To bad that I can't set up any drive mapping and quite strange that Microsoft didn't implement such features while mobile phones have WIFI on them.
That live mesh seems like a handy solution though. However it looks to me like all the data passes through the internet, even when I'm at home. If this is the case then it wouldn't be a very feasable solution because it would take ages before I would have moved large files if my mobile phone operator is in between my data connection.

Yeah, that how it works (mesh over the internet) not the greatest solution but it will work. There are other options but most of them involve sending the data over the net.
Like I said, you can get it to work (drive mapping)
Has anyone here use the service Logmein ( https://secure.logmein.com/US/home.aspx ) with your HD2 ?
The iphone can do it, but I was wondering if the HD2 can do it also. I want to remotely control my PC at home when I am away using the HD2.
They've never made a compatible AX control for the current versions of IE or Opera that come on the HD2, so I'm afraid you have to forget about Logmein. I was gutted about that, but soon got over it when I started using Remote Desktop instead.
Give that a go - it should already be on your device. (Don't forget that you'll need to ensure your PC will accept incoming RDP connections, and you'll need to allow it through any firewall(s) you have - port 3389.)
You can use IEToggle (http://discussion.treocentral.com/treo-pro/177752-toggle-between-pie-ie6-free-app-cab-file.html) to switch back to old IE (Pie) style.
I use Opera as my main browser, and use old IE for logmein.
You use the toggle once, and it stays on the old version of IE until you ise the toggle program again.
With this (and the RACtrlCE.cab from logmein), it works perfectly on the HD2 (at least for me).
Wish they had a standalone app, but I find this program smoother then using RDC for a home laptop.

I thought the keyboard didn't work. That was the reason I didn't use an old version of IE. Is this now resolved?

I had the same problem, keyboard not working in PIE and logmein but the SWYPE keyboard works OK. So now I just switch to that to use logmein. Works well but not ideal I'll admit...
Use the client
Hi there,
Well I am using the client, available at https://secure.logmein.com/US/labs/.
It works like charm on my hd2.

I'm just able to find Hamachi2 cab at that address... I think this topic is about usig the "basic" remot control service, i.e. LogMeIn Ignition client for Windows Mobile
Anyway, having an hamachi client can ease the life with RDP
Opera 10
What are u talking about?
Opera 10 works fine with log me in. Rom version: 1.66.482.1
No need to toggle with IE....
Just ignore the message "To get the best experience...."
yup, using opera 10 (has flash support), i can use logmein without installing extra software.
i have no idea how it works before, but a few things i've noticed...the remote desktop shown on screen is nothing but a bitmap, so it's not interactive. so everytime i do an action that changes the screen, it will redraw the entire screen (and it's quite slow).
i can do left clicks. no idea how to mimick a right click.
you can send input text by using the textbox on top of the screen (then click send). and send special keys that are listed on the dropdown menu.
in summary, it's working but pretty limited.
