Cool lock app (PocketShield) - Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General

Has anyone tried this on Athena? They have a free trial, but since I don't have an Athena anymore I can't s only test it. The site says its only been tested on the Rapheal and Diamond. Site also says it requires an integrated light sensor and g-sensor to "function properly", but the light sensor part can be disabled. Looks very nice, certainly better than S2U2

awsome software....just tried it and it works great....tho its nearly impossible to get the athena to sit right.
I saw this ATEKSOFT software and thought it was very clever however from this point on I am advising people not to buy it. Although the software looks slick the customer service offered by the company is appalling. What is more, if you post complaints on their forum about the quality of after service they get deleted. Not what I would look for from someone who wants my money.
Nice idea - very badly executed.
You can do it for free
Download mymobiler: http://www.mymobiler.com
Download VH screen capture driver: http://www.hmelyoff.com/index.php?section=8
Start mymobiler and activate your mobile camera
Grab the part of the screen you want with VH screen capture
Now you have a webcam stream which you can use in any program like skype, msn etc..
Look at this video as example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wveANUBUIJM
Instead of using the microsoft remote tool use mymobiler. It is much faster.
PS: You need active sync to communicate with mymobiler
This is why I love this forum. I've learned something new today - I never would have thought of using the camera as a webcam, or about My Mobiler. I love My Mobiler, very cool app; note, it says you can connece via WiFi, too, not just Activesync. Interesting feature, when you activate "Mouse Curser To", and it essentially turns your mobile into a 2nd (or 3rd) display device for your desktop, with mouse and all.
One problem though, when I activate my camera I get normal video/pictures on the Athena, but only the foreground graphics (camera settings) on the desktop. The video is just a black screen. Any ideas?

Hello.
I have the same problem.
My Mobiler shows only the foreground graphics.
Is there a way to shows what the camera shows in the athena screen?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Funny, I'm getting the same problem with my new touchII. It still works with both an Artemis and a Pharos on 6.1 Rom's.
Maybe something to do with the camera software or that it is a 6.5 ROM?
Can anyone confirm this?

HTC P6500 and fingerprint sensor

Is there any API for fingerprint management? I would like to develop an application which manages the fingerprint captured. Thank You.
BR,
Merimm
I could be wrong, but I don't think a normal touchscreen can reconize fingerprints. It sees a finger as a big stylus and not as different pressure-lines...
If I'm wrong please correct me, because a fingerprint-reader would be cool!
As you can see in the next link
http://www.europe.htc.com/en/products/htcp6500.html, it says "Fingerprint ID sensor secures device and critical data". I suppose that there will be a HTC application to enroll and recognize fingerprint.
yeah... but if u look closely at the pda, the finger print sensor is actually at the bottom center part of the body, not the screen itself..
I already know that the fingerprint sensor is actually at the bottom center part of the body .... I think I didnt make myself clear. The fingerprint sensor is similar to the one that HP iPAQ Pocket PC h5500 Series have, http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11646_na/11646_na.html.
My question is I if I can develop biometric apps with HTC P6500.

If HTC can, I'm sure you could. No? That's the beauty of WinMo. I don't know how though. Sorry.
Thanks for your answer. The problem is if there isn't a public sdk to management the swiped fingerprint (manufacturer), I don't know how can I do it. This processing doesn't depend on Windows Mobile SDK. I have 4 years of windows mobile apps experience (eVC++, .NET Compact Framework).
...something new?
Hi Merimm,
I'm trying to get control over the fingerprint scanner on the P6500 PDA.
My situation is the same as yours, but I don't have any idea about SDKs since I can't find to much information about th Qualcomm processor or the manufacturer's scanner.
Could you finally have developed an application?
Did you find a SDK for the P6500 or did you find any Windows' library for it?
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Daniel

WVGA Screen Compatibility Issues!!

I am very concerned about the ability to use basic applications on the Xperia's WVGA screen. I love the screen for DVD watching, but will it prevent me from using my favorite applications?
Can someone tell me if these will work:
Slingbox
Log Me In
Skyfire (when available)
Garmin Mobile XT
I know for the Toshiba G900 there is a program called WVGAfix or something that allows you to convert your screen to 640x480, I think.
Any insight into this problem would be helpful!
Thanks
Rick
If you hook me up with some links where i can download the apps, i can try 'em.. got a X1 infront of me..
Can do the same as well if you want. Currently using Opera and it works great. Wish you could use the pad to scroll around like a mouse though.. too bad.
Where are you guys getting your xperia's from, I'd love to get hold of one albeit pre-production.
Thanks
I am sorry, I don't have that software yet. I was going to wait until I got the Xperia.
In any event, can somebody make a program which you run on Xperia that can make all those VGA specific programs work? LIke there wvgafix for Toshiba G900?
EDIT: wrong thread!
Yeah, where do you guys get your X1s from!.

They might be tricking you - maybe they are like the rest of us - we don't have one yet!
Garmin Mobile XT is working without any problems on X1.
I don't think there will be much problems except navigation software.
I have a Toshiba G900 sind a good year with just this 480x800 and all standard software runs fine. AgendaFusion, TCPMP, TotalCommander, WisbarAdvancedDesktop (most important to me), the SBSH-collection, not to forget the great Softmaker Office which is very usefull with the screen -only navigation software is a problem that sometimes work, sometimes not.
Anyone tried Iguidance 4 with this resolution?
bump, we need to update this thread!
Btw, can someone tell me what are the differences between SPB Mobile Shell and SPB Pocket Plus?
is there any differences between SPB MS panel and the original SPB MS app?
Garmin Mobile XT is working just fine on X1, without any problems.
is advanced configuration 3.3 working for X1?
Yeah, advanced configuration 3.3 is working fine on my X1.
New version of Kinoma play is out and it is compatible with X1.

- Slingbox works OK. The video stream doesn't fill the whole screen (even with the aspect ratio set to 'wide'), and the interface buttons are kinda displayed correctly, but seemed to be actually shifted to the left, as when you press the power button for example, it's in reality a few buttons down. It's kinda hard to explain, but it seems like it's not being displayed at the right resolution, even tho all the images files, seem to be made for VGA (at least they're labeled that way).
- LogMeIn looks beautiful on this screen. And there's A LOT less screen scrolling compared to a QVGA screen, obviously. But compared to my old Tilt, it's a pleasure using LMI on this phone.
- Skyfire doesn't work yet, but you probably already knew that. It immediately crashes or closes down as soon as you try to load it. Hopefully, they'll add W/VGA support, because sites also look amazing on Opera.
- I don't use Garmin, but TomTom 7 looks and performs great. It looks as sharp as it should. Don't know if it's really scaling to the full resolution, but it sure looks like it.
Could you Please Post Pictures Of What The SlingPlayer Mobile Client Looks Like

That was my main concern, how the SlingBox would work with the Xperia X1, so that's good news. If possible could you please post a few pictures of how the SlingPlayer mobile client looks on the Xperia X1, thanks in advance....!

[REQ] Diamond as a webcam !?!

Can anyone make this app? I think it would be very useful. Thanx
I used some software on my old Hermes called WebCamera Plus. It's not free but it worked extremely well. I think you could even choose which camera to use? I haven't tried it on Diamond though. You can check it out for yourself here -> http://www.ateksoft.com/webcamplus.html
dont working on my diamond...
yes it works on diamond, I didn't had any problames, cool app
mobiolas webcam is working great!
Qik

this is really not a good way!
mymobiler transfers the screen with about 2-3 fps... not very good for a "webcam" isnt it?
best solution is Mobiolas web Camera... working great on my diamond and supporting qvga and 15 fps on the diamond

One of my best-spent 11 euros!
Most definitely qik.com. It's free and it has great sound quality and pretty good video quality (for a phone). That's my two cents!!

light sensor in x1?

I tried to enable this option for the G-alarm but it seems that x1 do not have light sensor.
This is strange because the auto light features work perfectly, anyone knows whether it is G-alarm problem or it actually does not have a light sensor?
The XPERIA absolutely have a light sensor but those programs can't utilize it.
It's a problem in API used by those programs (G-Alarm, Lumos etc.).
I've had discussed this matter with nik3r (author of Lumos) and he helped me find the solution but didn't found it yet.
The problem is XPERIA is using another API, differently from those HTCs.
What we have to do is reverse engineer the API from the XPERIA itself and integrate it into those programs. (That's how they do it with HTCs device)
May be someone can do it?
