www.logmein.com, the free Remote Desktop Program is now mobile for those of you who didn't know.
I just tried it on my WM6.1 and it works great! Works through firewalls, routers, and no need for a static IP!
SO SWEET! I'm going to try this out now. I've been waiting a long time for this news.
Thanks!
I've been using it for a long time, maybe a couple of years now, on my WM phones to remotely operate PCs.
Are you saying something else changed?
Yes, now they actually have a mobile version thats better quality and easier to navigate, as far as I've known, this is new.
All I saw was a desktop version that lets you see your mobile from your desktop. Is there a version that lets you see your desktop from your mobile? If so, can you provide the URL?

As I said, I have been controlling my desktop comupters for free using LogMeIn on my mobile using a specific mobile install for a few years now.
It has worked (and worked well I may add) on my mobile.

After a little research, it appears this has been available since 2006.
As I said, not exactly new.
It looks like it just has a 30 day or 120 minute free trial. How is it free?
remotelyanywhere (from same company) allows you to have full control of your pc through pda... it has a plugin for pocketIE that completely blows remote desktop out of the water.

"LogMeIn Free" would be, umm, FREE!
The free version doesn't allow to to transfer files or remotely print.
Used it FREE for years on my PDAs and PCs.

LogMeIn free is terrific. I use it for many purposes, including remotely controlling desktop PCs when I'm on the road.
And... it IS free.

logmein works on all wm phones, eespecially my 8525.
I have mine set to widescreen at home, and it looks great w/my rectangular screen (as opposed to treo).
Where are you having a problem?
i use realVNC on my home pc and vnc ppc viewer on my 8525... its free and works great!

If you want to stick strictly with VNC, go for the new PT Pocket Office.
BTW, I'll publish a BIG roundup & article of all these issues in the near future.

What does exactly happen? When does it refuse to run? Please elaborate - I know everything about all these services and remote access.
i seem to remember reading somewhere that it only works with an unmodified pocket internet explorer. It certainly works on my vario II.

It's indeed faster than other free VNC viewers but still consumes about 3 times more bandwidth than commercial solutions.

bandwidth for me isnt a concern, unlimited data plan plus a 6megx768k dsl line into my house... but do commercial solutions offer the same amount of control as VNC? just curious cause i do run a private FTP server out of my house and like the ability of total remote control over my pc when i am away... i believe i tried logmein.com about 4-5 months ago and dumped it, dont remember why, maybe cause i had to pay, but thats when i found a beta ppc version of RealVNC and have used that ever since.

PT offers built-in file transfer in the latest Pocket Office version and the author also promises clipboard synchronization. It's also much faster and consumes about 3 times less bandwidth.
Hopefully, I'll be able to publish my roundup of all remote access solutions the day after tomorrow - I'm still trying to hack the H/PC .NET RDC client (it's WAY more advanced than the native one on the Pocket PC) to the PPC.

What's exactly the problem? Do NOT trey to use it with RealVNC servers - it won't work. Use PTeSVNC instead.
Also, the config options are a bit overwhelming at first - I'll, of course, elaborate a LOT on them in my forthcoming roundup.

I just used winmobile torrent tonight for the first time. It works well.
this just lets you control the torrents on your desktop through your mobile?
try pocketG2
Im curious as to when this comes in handy? Wouldnt it be better to just tether the phone and use the app on your computer?
I just use remote desktop to manage my torrents when im mobile. I dont know how i lived without Remote Desktop before, very useful.

I would definatly like to use my phone. Since I use my phone for most of my internet access,it makes more sense to run it on the phone.
i agree, i got new orbit 2 and like use a torrent program or newsgroup one, as i always find newsgroup news reader but none that can download the binary files
i used use my N95 months back download torrents at night through my wireless router, than do it through pc and it was same speed and time really with a huge plus in that instead of 500w power pack going away and making quite bit fan noise with all the case fans i had a silent phone on charge doing same job at like a few watts of power.
quiet and very power effective even a laptop uses like 50w+ to a phone

No it's a standalone PPC app. I don't even have a PC. Check it out! : )
The big problem with the WinMobile app is that most private torrent communities don't allow it.
I saw that it was posted once before with no real answers. My question: Can the program Touchpad Pro be ported to Windows Mobile or can a program be made that has the same functionality. I am willing to pitch some funds to whoever will do it.
These are the links to the demo of Touchpad Pro and their website.

The Touchpad Media Server works similar but doesn't give full control.

No - if you log in to remote desktop on thew phone, you will be logged out on the PC. With this you can work simultaneously on the PC and the phone.
But this program is nothing new - just a VNC client. There are already a few of them available for WM (including some free ones). Just do a google search for windows mobile VNC client.

Okay... Obviously I didn't read that site in enough detail...
With RDP (Standard windows remote desktop) on WinXP, it is actually possible to have more than one person logged in at a time.

Thanks man. I guess I just didn't know what to search for. I'll check them out and see if they do the same thing.
You can also use logmein Basic which is free up to a certain amount of computers. I believe 5 pcs. https://secure.logmein.com/createaccount.asp
LogMeIn is one of the many choiced that one has when deciding on remote access software. LogMeIn Basic is freeware, and allows you to install the client onto a single machine that can be access via the LogMeIn website through a browser. With a small memory footprint, the program does not interfere if you leave it up while you decide to load up a game.
Features
Although the full paid version of LogMeIn automatically allows you to transfer files by dragging, stream audio, network printers, etc, the free version has none of these features. Although there is a free 30 day trial, these features are nice but not necessary for basic remote access needs.
Speed
Bandwidth is a large factor in the speed and refresh of LogMeIn, and although I run fiber optics at home, there is still a small amount of lag between connected clients and the server. Loss of some keystrokes can be a pain if you are a fast typer, but this is no different then Windows Remote Desktop.
But the thing that I really need is for the computer to not be logged out while I am on it. I want the phone to be a touch pad/mouse/remote control for the computer. So any program that logs you out of the PC while you are remotely using it is useless to me and does not do what Touchpad Pro does. Hence why VNC is good.

Logmein does not log you out. You will see it on the screen and it also goes through firewalls.
Gotcha, thanks.
Yes or No? I have remote controller and while it works good, it doesnt recognize the slide keyboard, idk if realvnc or uvnc will, but they're more universal and all my machines already have uvnc on them
Are you talking about a viewer/client or a server on your phone?
RealVNC's website says they have a WM viewer, but there don't seem to be any links to it and it appears to be a commercial product. I don't see any evidence that UltraVNC make a WM viewer.
There are a couple of fully workable free viewers around. Search for vnc-E4_2_7b4-arm_pocketpc_viewer or check out http://dotnetvnc.sourceforge.net/.

awesome, and this supports the proprietary keyboard on the tp2? Its a serious pain in the ace having to pull up the char. map that this remote im using now needs

Police Scanner for Win Mo?
Ive seen it for both the droid and the (stupid POS) iphone, theres gotta be a scanner for windows mobile, anyone seen anything?
I've been making a couple posts about UltraVNC mobile over at their website, but I doubt any of the developers really have a Windows Mobile phone to mess around with it. I have the RealVNC one, pre-paid-app version. It seems to be the best. I wish UltraVNC did develop a mobile version because I can't view my secondary monitor on the VNC viewer I'm using now.
Also, just as a note, there are VNC servers out there for your phone so you can use a VNC viewer on your PC to control your phone, but I haven't found one that was always stable. This one seems to be the best bet, but now it's a paid-app.

i tried but i kept getting this error: unable to connect to host: connection timed out (10060)
i was able to connect from pc to pc but not wm to pc. host runs on Win 7 with Outpost firewall. I already allow it on my firewall and forwarded those ports on my router. if you or anyone knows the solution, please tell me. thx.
on your windows 7 pc run uvnc server, Not realvnc. It doesnt work idk why. set it up to recieve the user, pass, and to recieve remote input and then connect using wm realvnc. works on all my machines
I found this a while back it seems to work fine just unzip and copy over to your SD card then run the exe. I personally copied it to my programs folder then created a shortcut to in my start menu.
First Post by the way
Hi all,
I presently am using Shape Services RDM+ to do my remote tasks and although a little cumbersome on the HD2 it does work great, however its the cumbersome bit that is making me wonder what else is out there that 1; WORKS! and 2; Is free or at least a reasonable price (RDM+ is reasonable).
Ones I have tried and they failed miserably are MS's own remote desktop and Symantecs pcAnywhere. The MS creation as usual was nothing but error message after error message and pcAnywhere would connect then disconnect every time so they are both ditched.
RDM+ connects reliably and stays connected and does what I want but it was made for use with a stylus and that's annoying on the HD2. Maybe an update one day will fix this annoyance with it because it really is very good otherwise.
So what else could do the job reliably that also has a finger touch interface designed for our great HD2's?
Thanks for suggestions.
try logmein ignition ...its a great app
I use tightvnc on the PC,then connect to it using androidvnc on the phone.you will get better results using vnc solutions than remote desktop solutions(although they are pretty much the same thing) with the added benefit that windows wont log you off when you connect from the phone using vnc,meaning you can use the phone as a remote and see the results on the PC monitor.with remote desktop you can't be logged in at the PC and at the phone.even with the concurrent logins hack which would allow this,you wouldn't see the same things on each screen.
Summary get tightvnc for PC and androidvnc from market.
there's also zaDekstop, which seem bit old but is: 1. free 2. more convenient than WM's Remote Desktop,

I gave logmein a go the other day and it would not install successfully to my Vista PC.
I might give it another go, ignition does not seem to offer a winmo6.5 version but worth a shot anyway.
