howdy.. got rid of my 6 day old Atom after downgrading to it from a Mini, so now I have my first smartphone its awesome
After using the sites search feature to answer a dozen questions I had, I am left with a couple of quick questions I cant find answers to..
I use Windows Powertoys to view my phone on my pc's desktop, although it doesnt allow the same functionality as it does if you plug a PDA into it.
What else is there to use that will emulate the phone on a pc desktop?
Thanks
U can try Pocket Controller-Professional v5.05

Hey that looks pretty good.. thanks
Does exactly what I want.. you can send commands to the phone via the mouse.
Windows PowerToys doesnt allow that if you are using Windows Smartphone, only a PDA, CE device
Thanks
Err.. but wat i dun like is some software was installed in the phone right ?
Is there any software that provides a virtual mouse using the touchscreen of the magician??
MocciJ
Yep fake cursor will do this - see my post half way down the page here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=26664
It isn't really what I want.. I intended a software that through usb connection can provide a tablet mouse function for desktop pc.. But I have found the program: pocket tablet thanks anyway..
MocciJ
do you mean like the bluetooth nokia mouse someone created ?

this is the only one so far that i've found.. this is almost exactly what I wanted

im still trying to work out if its a step fowards or backwards
i been using this all afternoon on my laptop wow this rocks, only improvement could be a way to put text in but other than that it rocks
good call
Hey, Everyone,
I would like to take on a lil' pet project (but, 'could be a group effort). What I'd like to do is use my Mogul's hardware keyboard as a USB and/or bluetooth keyboard on Windows XP/Vista and *nix machines. Any ideas on where to start, or H3LL!, does anyone know of a prog already? Y'figure you can use your Titans as a webcam, modem, WiFi router, and flash drive, so why not use the keyboard?
Thanks, Everyone.

im not knocking your idea at all.
but in my opinion that would be horrible. i've never encountered a time in my life where a pc didnt have a keyboard, and as much as i love the mogul FOR it's full keyboard, it's still a noghtmare to type on it.
im actually not bad with it, if only the keys were a tad wider, so i wouldnt press two of them at the same time

I applaud your efforts, but seriously, that's just weird man.
have to admit, the only reason I would do this would be for the geek factor of it all...
and those are the reasons that I dream of installing a web server on a toaster.
I don't think I'd use the hardware keyboard any more than I'd use a web server.
have it admit, it's an intriguing idea, though... for the geek factor... to learn to do it...
thats a really good idea. i would like to see that program because im wiring a sever to all my tvs and i dont want that big keyboard in the way of things
I always seem to get mixed reviews about the idea...

Thanks. Usu ppl think it's a bad idea, but what about when ya'd like something a bit more "remote controlesque" to control your iTunes? I'd rather use my tele's keyboard, rather than walk around w/ my full sized bluetooth keyboard, y'know? Anyway, can anyone point me in the right direction? Maybe a prog already out, or a lil' tutorial on writing a prog to do this?

How about for use with a Playstation 3 system? Using the controller to type is a drag.
ive seen my brother control his mac/itunes with a nokia bluetooth enabled phone before so im sure you're not too far off
You know, if the mogul could be made as an extension to the pc, and vice-versa, it would be amazing. Most people don't really need, or know what to do with, this type of functionality. But then again, lets admit -- we are not regular people, are we? This is a great idea on the edge of pioneering a host of new posibilities of inter-device integration.
I often will watch movies, type on msn (wishing i had a webcam), etc... why not save ourselves the money to buy all this extra hardware, and look for a solution that can use the resources we already have?
Now, that being said, it is going to be very hard to program and/or find someone to program this type of functionality for us. Firstly, they must be very good at coding ppc AND pc apps. Secondly, these would be low-level functions or would require ingenious workarounds.
But, as my two cents, have you ever thought of using vnc to do what you needed? Maybe it wouldn't be as 'clean' as you might like it, but it could effectively do what you needed, and can work via wifi, bluetooth, EVDO/1X, and even USB. Beyond that, i might look at programs like WM5torage which uses the USB port to emulate a USB device (in this case a storage drive).
Good luck, and great idea!
EDIT: Try re-openning this thread in the Dev section, maybe you might get some feedback there?
You'd need a blueooth HID driver if i remember right, that'd be a decent place to start...

I'd love to use my Mogul as a bluetooth keyboard for my Asus R2H.

irrelevant, since I'd like to use the PPC's keyboard, solely, @ the desktop machine. Thanks for all o'the help, though. I'd actually gone ahead and d/l'd Salling Clicker.
But, still, does anyone have any other ideas, or want to work on it?
fyi, the fact that it doesn't list compatibility with wm6 doesn't mean that it's not.

No, I have it already, and know from experience that it won't run on my Mogul. I'd thought it unnecessary to mention it since I'm mainly lookin' for hardware keyboard functionality, anyway.
I would consider porting over an existing solution, ie Synergy ( http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/ ).
this would be a good idea to use with a media center PC... I've been searching for a good solution to no avail (VNC isn't fast enough)
I would love to use it as a keyboard with my PS3, or 360. The PS3 would probably be easier, as I'm not sure if 360 accepts Bluetooth.

Ya hear that, developers out there? The ppl want to use their WM* devices' H/W keyboards on PCs and consoles. I'm sure you guys can get it done.
Is it possible, to see the Windows Mobile Screen on an external Display? Windows Vista works fine.
I´m using a Shift with i00-ROM-Deploy-20090309.
Thanks in advance.
It should be possible
Hi,
I own a Shift and a HTC Advantage.
The Advantage has a shortcut in settings "TV out"
The mini usb adapter that came with the Advantage makes it possible to connect it to an external monitor.
I have used it quite often in the past.
Works perfectly.
The IOO rom does not come with the plugin "TV out" so you will probably have to search the forum.
You might want to check out the XDA forum for the HTC Advantage also called "Hermes"
Good luck.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I dont think it is possible as VGA-Out is controlled by Intel GMA chipset,fisical connections and drivers are only acting on Vista side.
When you trigger from one os to another you change from GMA950 to Windows Mobile integrated graphics.
The only solution comes into my mind is to connect your Windows Mobile to Vista through Activesync then install some programs that allows you to see Windows Mobile side from Vista (Windowed) and that's it you will use Vista side on External monitor.
Good luck!
You mean something like Pocket Controller, right? This is of course an other good alternative.

Install MyMobile that allows you to view your WinMob on Vista in a Window. Now Attach External Display to the Shift and move the WinMob Window that is on Vista to external display.

okay quick question since this is somewhat relevant to what i need help on. okay so how did you guys manage to vga output the shift on an external display? i tried to plug it to my 21" desktop monitor and also my 42" hdtv. i do not get a connnection whatsoever. i am also running the i00 rom. thanks! having it display vista is what i want. thanks
Did you try FN+T button on Vista?
Thanks all for your tips. I will test them soon.
@BoSJo: Not possible, because XP is installed.

I guess that my answer is about a year late, but I'am also interested in coonnecting the WMobile Shift part to a TV. Looking at MSM7200 specification I see that there is an unconnected pin U4 with the output composite TV signal.
I'm kooking for a guy with firm hand and eagle eyes, who'll solder this sigle wire and get the TV-out capabiblities.
Hope that he'll share his "technological secrets" here
Hi guys, this is my first post her on xda-developers, so go easy
I am developing for HTC HD2 windows mobile 6.5 phone, all is going well execpt the fact phone seems to have a different SIP (keyboard) than the default windows one. The HTC one takes up more screen in my application so I would like to get the windows one back. I have tried changing themes, etc but I cant get rid of the HTC one.
Any ideas ?
Thanks.
i tried a lot to make it possible to use the keyboard from wm6. there are some fragments in the reg. but it was not possible for me to activate it.
Hmm, this seems strange as I have an application on my HD2 which is used to configure my BT printer and it has exactly the same keyboard as WM6 so it must be possible.
