Omnia Infrared/Beam Remote - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hello,
I was trying to use a universal Remote Control Programm on my Omnia, but since it doesn´t have an Irda Port this wont work. Still there is the Beam function which uses infrared integrated in the optical mouse as far as i know.
Is there a software that would make it work anyway, maybe by simulating an irda port?
If i am writing bs pls correct me.
greetings

ok it´s bs

XDA with TV Remote 5.5 didn't work

I got my XDA II (Chinese Version) and try to use TV Remote 5.5. However, I tried using the built-in profile (Panasonic TV), no response. I tried to learn from the remote, but it couldn't learn and 'Time Out".
Is there any setting needed to be set to use the IR remote function?

I dont think the IRda on the XDA-II is of the same class as those IRs used by the likes of TVs etc.... sorry, means good Ir data rates but your remote control software will not work.
someone feel free to correct me :lol:
XDA II and TV Remote 5.5
Thanks.
Then, how can I use my XDA II as remote control for my tv and dvd?
sohand
I've sent an E-Mail to the TV Remote Controller author regarding about this issue. But no response at all. I've been using it for my XDA for a long time.
i gotten it to work
but the solution was to get as close to the device
as 30cm
which kinda makes the name remote a joke
here are some links if using it as a remote is very very important

XDA II and TV remote 5.5
Rudegar,
You are lucky. I installed the TV remote, but could not send remote signal or learn from a remote control....
Any idea on the setting in the device.
FYI, I can transmit data through the IR...

well i havent don it with xda2 only xda1 so i cant say for sure if there are not issues other then range with xda2
First: sorry for my english...
The problem is, that the tv remote program cannot connect to the ir port.
but i cannot find why... it might be another program...
i figure that out, when i took an camera to view the ir beam...
when i send an message via ir, i saw the ir beam, but when i send
signals via a tv remote program, i saw nothing...
i thing, some registry hack can solve this problem...
i hope soon....

Does XDA II capable with Microsoft bluetooth mouse's adapter

I just bought a Microsoft bluetooth mouse with the USA bluetooth adapter.
But I cannot use bluetooth ActiveSysnc with it. After I get connected with the USB bluetooth adapter, it didnt show me some choice for choosing the ActiveSySnc.
as far as i know that's not possible... i myself have the MS BT Desktop and no luck with my XDA II (but with my Acer BT USB adapter). i hope that xpSP2 does the trick but i had no time to try...
Can you send a email to MS to ask them this question?
take a look here
It does work fine over here - even without XP SP2.
The MS Bluetooth Transceiver uses a CSR-Chipset and can be driven with a WIDCOMM BT-Stack.
Just have a look at this thread:

Click to expand...

Or you give the Preview a try... :shock: ... if you prefer the Microsoft way. Maybe this works, too.

Himalaya PDA IrDa port as remote control

Hi to all.
Does anyone know if we can use our PDA as remote control via IrDA port ?
If so, what would be necessary to install ?
Thanks in advanced.

Doesn't work
In the learning mode I want to learn,I tap on any button and it should be learned and beep afterwards. But when I tap on the button,it just appears some text on the screen for a short while(less then 0.5sec=unreadable). Know someone why? Qtek2020 is in the list of supported devices.
it works 100% on my himalaya
but then i dident try to teach it
i just picked my philips tv from the profile
?
And what's the distance that it can be used for? I thing,that IrDA port is not so powerful as IR LEDs in RC...
when i sit in my sofa i could get it to work
it was 3m
but IR on such devices have a pretty narrow beam compared to one way IR's like on a normal remote so you really have to aim

Remote Power PC?

Hi,
I was thinking, is it possible to write a command/script for a PPC phone, that would send a command via BT/IR to a reciever connected to the PC to power it up? I think that this could be done on the phone side (I have a Elf Ench.), but the problem lies in the hardware of the PC. My mobo supports wake-on functions:
- on RTC
- on external modems
- on PCI & PCIe deviced
- on PS2/USB keyboard
That first and last one will be probably useless, but what about the rest? I know that some people did it with IR, by connecting IR module to a pin on the MOBO, but IR has a limited range, and you have to point directly to the diode, but BT on the other hand is inactive when the PCs power is off...
What do you think, is it possible?
I have wakeup over USB working here.
Not with my PPC, but with my universal IR Remote.
I use the receiver from the Media Center Remote from Microsoft.
If your board can handle it, the power function of the MCE Remote
can wake up the PC.
It was no problem to learn the IR command to my universal remote.
So it should be no problem to get it working with novii remote or similar ppc programs (if your ppc has a IR-port, or better Consumer IR for more reach).
The MCE remote isn't that expensive, should be under 30$.
Now I have a wake-on-keyboard (SPACE) setup in BIOS, and my mobo is quite new (ASUS P5K) so I think it can handle it. But I just realized, that my Elf doesn't have an IR port, so my only option is BT ... The main problem is, does BT stay active after power off? If not, than there is nothing that we can do ...
And one more thing, I wouldn't want to bootup a IR/BT program to send a command, that just takes too long, is there a way to write some sort of a shortcut to send a BT command w/o launching a additional application?
I think your only way is to send a magic packet over to your network card, assuming it supports wake on lan

Infra Red

Can anyone tell or show me how to where the infrared port is on the blackstone?
Im trying to get the nevo remote software working and need to know where the irda port is so that i can program it properly
Thanks
GBDS
I don't believe the HD has one
Sorry to inform you mate, but there's no IrDa module on the HTC HD (Blackstone).
hi, the HD has not any IR Port, so you cant control TVs or so on with it.
