Hi,
I am trying to stop using Active Sync, it seems to slow everything down tremendosly. I use My Mobiler connection via IP to run PIM on my desktop. I was looking for a way to sync files and seems wm5torage is the only application that would do it w/o AS present.
However, the moment I activate wm5torage My Mobiler loses connection. It seems wm5torage re-sets device's IP address to 0.0.0 "dummy" address. I was trying to set it back to no avail. If I de-activate wm5torage I can connect again.
So,
1) is there a way to have both programs running simultaneously ?
2) if not is there a file syncing application that doesn't need AS ?
Thanks !
I use TotalCommander and if memory serves me I have added a plugin which let the PPC show up in the network page of TC. Maybe you can also use TC on the PPC and make a wireless network connection.
i ever used wm5torage but it also didnt work, softick card export is better
try
You cant use booth programs at the same time.
Cause WM5Storage activates PDA in USB mode and simulates pendrive storage.
It disabling the connection with activesync and other programs to sync/connecting with PC.

Thanks all who replied.
I ended up figuring out how to connect SOTI Pocket Controller, which I also own, in TCP/IP mode - something I wasn't able to do before. So I am using its sync manager to sync files, for now (although I don't like it nearly as much as MobSync so I may end up re-enabling AS just for that).
I am using the my mobiler apps to control the phone via computer..however The gprs connection will be disconnected everytime i plug the cable data...
can anyone provide me with some help pls?

Hi,
From my PDA I can access the internet over the USB connection by having pass through on activesync set to the internet on the PC.
I would like to be able to access shared folders on my PC from my PDA over the USB connection. Is this possible. If it has to go over activesync that's ok.
BTW: My PDA is a Magician.
Thanks,
Stekke.
Z2 PocketLan
Best way is through 3rd Party software Z2 PocketLan, will even create shortcuts. Will work over wifi, BT, Activesync etc as use it at home to stream music to PDA
the new total commander is also good
totalcommander explicitely states in the faq that over USB through active sync is not supported.
I've tried pocketlance but can't get it to connect.
Other suggestions?
Hi,
Can anyone tell me if it possible to browse my wifi connected Wizard (O2 mini S - latest O2 ROM) from my PC...
Ie i would like to be able to open window to my documents on my phone on my PC to copy file etc...
Thanks in advance!
Yes, but you will need some third party software, such as Resco Explorer, to 'map' the folders you want to access across the network.
Thanks for your quick reply, however i meant if/how is it possible to browse the files on the wizard from the PC over wifi network, not the other way around.
Cheers
lo thought i would try helping.
if you downgrade your active sync on your pc 2 or 3 releases it supports syncing via wifi.... the newer ones it was disabled on for some daft reason.
it may be enabled on the new beta version i dunno.
anyway if your pc was synced to it you certainly can view the my documents folder. also by bluetooth in any version of active sync, just need a bluetooth dongle for ur comp.
hopw that helps
I don't think you can downgrade with WM5, I believe that you need Active Sync 4.1 and above.
I can't think of a way to browse the PPC on a wireless network which is a good thing for security.
hi, have you tried pocket controller? you can control your ppc from the pc via wifi.

use activesync when your connected via usb? you can browse the files
Is it possible to browse the device through USB without installing activsync?
You can download a small program called wm5torage. This enables you to connect your laptop to a pc as if it were a mass storage device. You can only browse whats on the memory card though, not system files.
If you want to browse through system files then Activesync is the only way i know of doing this. There may be a third party app somewhere, but you'd still have to install it so there's probably not much point..
I tried wm5torage some time ago (v1.6) and didn't work with my TyTN... it worked with my friend's wizard. Don't know if there's any newer version which works.... did you get it working on the Hermes?
Dont take time to try wm5torage on Hermes. I asked Seems there is no way to get it work.

ver 1.71 has been posted in this thread http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=238545&hl=wmstorage but the download page says the file is broken.
I run an FTP server on my TyTN. That way you can access and manage all files on your device via Activesync or a Wireless connection.
This one is basic, but free and does the job well:
http://www.freefloat.com/index.php?...=http://www.freefloat.com/p9614/p9614_swe.php
Make the FTP server point at the root of your device for full access to all files and folders.
i tried the ftp server, but it seems to be super slow to transfer files. I think it's faster using active sync to browse.

WM5storage doesn't work for me.
it should work when you disable advanced network functionality in: connections - USB to PC...
but when I disable that I get an error:
failed to disable RNDIS to use serial
even when I disable active sync to use USB when cradled.
any ideas?

Ah, but have you tried this?
Goto: Start Menu > settings > Connections > USB to PC
Now, untick the box that says: "Enable advanced network functionality"
Now try reconnecting your Hermes!
Tried this, found it to be the best:

Works on wm5 haven't tried it on wm6 yet (will install it soon) it's not free but it's worth it to try out the demo and see for yourself.
If you want to sync your Ameo with your Mac then you will find it won't with the current version of MissingSync
However, conbrio, over on the MissingSync forum, has a found a solution...

I used the PalmSolo download and it works fine apart from file sync is a bit slow (Syncing to Storage Card and not MicrosDrive - MissingSync does not seem to see the MicroDrive??) Could just be the cheap 2GB MiniSD card though And you have to re-run the software when you soft-reboot and set the sync back to serial. Maybe worth putting a link in your startup?
Hope this helps,

There is another way to sync your Ameo with your Mac via Missing Sync. This way does not require any other software. It also keeps the setting changes after soft resets and seems more reliable.
If you use WisBar or something similiar it is probably best to exit it, otherwise you cannot get to this screen - a possible WisBar bug?
1. From the menu go 'Settings' / 'Connections' / 'USB to PC'
2. Uncheck the tick box 'Enable advanced network functionality'
3. Probably best to re-boot you Mac and soft reset your Pocket PC and check this tick box is still unchecked (unticked).
4. Then plug-in and away you go. It seems to be a lot more releiable than the previous method. I'm using the latest beta of MissingSync.
Hope this helps fellow Mac bods out there...
Russ
p.s. file sync is still very slow - but hey - too much funkiness is probably not a good thing.

if you don't have sd, see the microdrive very well
I am using MissingSync and bluetooth and it works almost flawlessly. I can sync everything and I can even use the internet sharing capabilities of my Ameo. The only issue I have is transferring large files over to the device. This issue is a known bug and will hopefully be fixed with the next release.
I can really recommend this product to every Mac user!
pc dosent detect my device at all
can any one help.when i connect it to the pc it just charges my x7510.i did hard reset.it use to connect fine before
Hi,
I need to start a program on my PC from my XDA (connected by ActiveSync 4.5). I'm running Windows Mobile 5. How could this be done?
Regards, Gerrit
therminal services
and vnc
are 2 ways to do it
I don't want to see the PC's screen on my PDA (will be very slow anyway). I just need to be able to start a program (for example "notepad.exe") on the PC. I don't have to see the program on my PDA. It just has to run on the PC. That's all!
Regards, Gerrit
I think it is only possible to start an application on the device
from desktop with RAPI. The other way is not possible with
ActiveSync. You can write your own server that runs on the desktop
and a client on the ppc. Then send commands from pda client
to the server that starts then your application.
Houser
Hello Hauser,
Problem is that the command has to be possible both with ActiveSync (cable) and when syncing with GPRS/UMTS (wireless). Could this be done with RAPI?
Regards, Gerrit
If you use GPRS then you cannot use ActiveSync.
ActiveSync is only possible if you connect via USB.
RAPI can only be used from a desktop application to communicate with
the pocket pc, copy files, start applications on the PPC,...
So what do you want to do exactly with your app?
Houser
when connected to the pc using activesync or wifi or bluetooth PEN
make a normal network connection
and it should be transparent for the applications as they just see the connection
Hi Houser,
1. My PDA application exports lines from a PDA database to .CSV files.
2. On my PC I have to run an import & conversion program to load the exported lines into a server database
3. My PDA has to import other (new) files into the PDA's relational database
With USB syncing this works fine. I now have to run the PC's program manually. I want to control the whole process now from my PDA.
That's all...
Regards, Gerrit
If I remember right, a drive symbol is mounted on "My Computer" when Active Sync connects the device, right? So has anyone already tried to use an autorun enrty (autorun.inf like on CDs) on the PocketPC?

So ok.
I would do this as follows:
1) Write a desktop application that uses ActiveSync RAPI to start you PDA export application
2) Then in your desktop app use RAPI to copy the file from PDA to desktop
3) In your desktop app start the import & conversion program with the file from the pda
4) If you want to import a file to the PDA database you can copy with RAPI to pda and then start with RAPI the pda import application
So I would not go on searching how to start a app on desktop from pda. Let the desktop application handle it.
Houser
Hi,
Problem is that a technician on location (at a customer or at home) should be able to synchronise, without going to the office. In other words: the PDA is the device that starts the communication process, not the PC! This is also what is so problematic...
Regards, Gerrit
about autorun on the pda then i dont think it will work havent made the test
but modile devices like
gmail drive
digicams
and such dont get drive letters
and i think only devices which get drive letters can use
autostart because those other devices dont seem to be "really" connected untill one click on them
you could write a service for the pc which would be listening for a network connection from the pocketpc
you could make it so it would run any applications you told it
you could give it a parth and arguments
then as soon as you got a network connections by what ever means your pda could start sending commands to the pc which it would then execute as in start programs
of cause it does require you to code a bit of c++ or .net but not tooo complex stuff if one is a programmer
Two points:
The PDA is not mounted as a drive, ActiveSync controls all access to it (even though it is integrated in the explorer) so autorun.inf can not work.
Redugar is right, for you purpose - accessing the PC directly and by remote, you need a little server app on the PC. Just use windows sockets to listen to a connection.
On the PPC side you can use the constant ppp_pear when the device is synced to get the PC address and the regular IP (I assume you have a static IP) for access via GPRS.
I did something like this a couple of years back - a server on the PC that checks a page for updates and provides them to a device when it connects and asks for them.

Yeah. Salling Clicker is a great software for starting or ending programs on your pc using bluetooth or wifi! the first time i installed the software,i was amazed and i played a prank on my sister.she thought that there was something wrong with the computer because it started itunes/powerdvd on its own... and i was in the other room controlling my pc..hahaha...
i've Been looking for a "script" that'll allow you to open any file/program (so are a lot of people who use salling clicker)..been following it up and As far as i know, there is still no Salling Clicker "script" that allows you to open any program on your pc.. you have to make a "script" specific to the program you want to start/control/stop.

What?
ActiveSync can work through Bluetooth or Infrared as well.
Also, why go through all of this trouble? Run an SSH server on the PC. SSH into the PC.
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator> start "C:\Program Files\My Program Path\My Program.exe"
Doesn't this do what you want?
