Tv Remote software??

Has anyone found a tv remote app suitable for use on the wizard?all of which i have tried state incompatibility issues with the cpu!
so far i have tried noviremote, vito remote and one other which escapes my memory.
cheers

Same here. no luck finding one. mostlly not compatible with the Infered on the wizard.
have to wait a month or so , am asuming there should be updates compatible with wizard in starting of 2006 .

Altough I havn't tried with the wizard, a previous problem I've had when experimenting with remote software on some PDA's is that the infrared transmitters inside the devices are not designed for long distance (1 meter plus) transmission, unlike a regular remote control. This means that although it will probably work it may not be as useful as you think!

I had promixis netremote working lovely on my M500, with about 2 metres range too, but it will not have it on the xda
Might have to keep the m500 a bit longer then...

2 meters, gosh, thats a lot better than I've had on ipaq!

Used to love the remote control software that came with my ipaq, " Nevo " Would love a remote software with my wizard. Will be keeping my eyes out for something happening on this front.

www.pdawin.com offers a tv and remote control software. works quite too!

Yes!

Anyone tried teh ir range for use as a TV remote control?

I know most PDAs only have a small IR range. Has anybody tried the wizzard with one of the many pocket pc remote control software? What was your range like?

I tried noviiremote deluxe and right when i opened up the app it told me that the wizards device is incompatible with the program. so i guess wait for an update on that app, but they're many more remote control apps. give some of them a shot and see for yourself maybe?

No other remote app will work - none of them supports the TI CPU. You may want to check out http://pocketpcmag.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=17874 for more info.

THat's annoying. On my old SE P800, the tv remote worked srom as far away as I could get, come 8 meters!

There is also something else why remote control software won’t work.
IR-DA hardware is not compatible to work as a remote control transmitter because it is mend to be for data communication between two IR-DA devices.
But if your PDA can do it anyway then there is extra hardware build in to do this.
The HP2210 can do this and it worked wonderful.
I’ve been in several waiting room where televisions where shouting all the time. And with the 2210 I could switch them off or lower there volume

MDA USA, Tv Remote program...

Hey everyone! After searching on the forums and other sites for a long time i have came to a holt!
I'm looking for a IR remote control program for my T-Mobile MDA USA WM5 (WIZA200), and I have tried alot of programs... Lets see, so far no luck at all, most of the programs I downloaded install fine and I can run them but no IR ANYTHING! They can't seem to send or 'Learn' any of the IR signals.... So it makes me really frustrated, and I am wanting a program to control my home intertainment center..
If anyone could help with maybe supplying me with a download link or maybe one of the programs that have been 'modded' to run with theWizard then that would be awesome!
Thanks in advance, hope to hear a reply!

i dont think the hardware on the fone is capable to support the function you want....but im not 100% sure

hmm, can anybody confirm this, the wizard does have a IR port, and most of the programs installed and runned fine(other then it couldn't send or receive IR....)

Hi, I just remeber when I was reading some reviews about the wizard that a review had confirmed that:
The reviewer said that he could use the kjam as a remote controller for his TV and DVD player from almost any distance within his room.
I was happy, but I have some doubt with regard to (any distance), since I think that IR range is not enough to send for a 4 meters distance!
I really dont remember where I have read this but I am sure that I have read it, so I think that the wizard is capable of using IR as a remote control, but there is somehow a lack of software support for this issue.
good luck all

Hi, just a corrrection, may be I have mixed things up.
I searched for the topic on the internet and I found that it was talking about JASJAR, here what was exactly written:
"Originally Posted by Tekflow at http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=30449
This is one good surprise. I have been using Pocket PC Phones since the first O2 XDA, then XDA II, then i-mate PDA2, and none was really compatible with any TV remote control software (unless you sit at a distance of 1 meter from your TV!). But now everything changed with the Jasjar. The IRDA is so powerful: I am using it as a TV/DVD/VCR... remote control nearly from any distance (even with small obstacles between the TV and the Jasjar). I tried NoviiRemote and Total Remote: they both worked perfectly.
Good news!"

but do you think that the IrDA port of the kjam is very different from JASJAR's?? I really need to know! tell us guys!!

As far as I know Novii is currently looking at the specifications of TI chip so that they could customise their famous Novii TV Remote to work with Wizard.
PPB

So I desided to write a little dilly about what remote programs don't work for the MDA! ( AKA: WIZA200 )!!
So it starts here!
#1 Vito Remote - Will not reconize the IR port! ( What a supprise! lol )
#2 Novii Remote - Don't even start with this one, nice interface though!
#3 Windows remote II ( I think...)
Feel free to add to this list! And if you find a IR remote program for the MDA then please fill us in!
Right now i'm testing Total Remote, but don't get your hopes up, it seems to lock-up when trying to train, but I'm not giving up yet because I might have some settings wrong!
BTW Bust I can't wait for Novii to get that done!

I only have a wallaby, but the hardware is just about the same, as far as the IR is concerned.
I'm not familiar enough with the newer devices, but I do know that the ir components in the wallaby/BA, and many other pda devices from that time period, are capable of being used as remotes, with the only real drawback being transmit distance (the hardware is not the same as a real remote controller).
I use pdawin's tv remote 5.5, and it works about 8 feet or so (about 3 meters). it learns and what not.....
another post I have read says that netremote from proximus also works..... good luck

i'm not sure about the jasjar, but keep in mind that consumer ir is what has a much longer distance
my clie worked really far away
i tried the jam's ir and it was 2 meters ish
haven't tried the wizard's ir for remote though

Hmm, see the thing with the Wizard is that I can't find a program that will reconize the IR port, it's not a distance problem.... So if anyone knows of a remote program for the Wizard, then that would be awesome!

don't bother
It's not worth your time. Both the jasjar and the wizard have FIR or Fast infared which means it will only transmit about 2.5 feet (if your lucky)away from the reciever. You need to find devices that use CIR or commercial infared. I'm pretty sure they don't make one in a minisd format so you will have to play the waiting game. Another way aroung this is to get a remote repeater and have your infred port right next ot it but that sucks also

It seems that JASJAR users are more lucky than u think, they got their remote control functioning from 'nearly any distance'
See my upper post and good luck

novii remote works fine
see this threwad for a similar discussion:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43678&highlight=
just installed the novi 4.0 beta trial version and it works with my wiza200.
distance varies:
TV aprox. 3m
DVD (is on floor): 1.5 m
but TV is fine for me since the original remote broke into pieces and is just hold together with tesa.

Working software TV Remote Control

Hello guys,
I found software that works pefect with the wizard to IR remote your tv
no problem with distance
look @ www.wincesoft.de/html/remotecontrol_ii.html
first software i found that works

using novii remote for weeks.

i use the Novii Remote Deluxe v4.11 on my qtek 9100 and works fantastic! with mi philips tv, and LG Dvdplayer

Third to novii. It's really fantastic to control all my stuff (I have 6 components in my home theater!)

I prefer WinCESoft's RemoteControl II.
Some screenshots of RemoteControl II:
Try this with your "fantastic" Novii
The new version v2.12 was released yesterday at: www.WinCESoft.de

This would be so awesome at work!!! Next time they TRY to give us a safety meeting with a video, there's liable to be some little punk sitting in the corner with his 8125. And a really mad safety coordinator wondering why the dvd player won't stay on

So what kind of distance do you get with Remote Control II with an 8125??

just installed RemoteControl II, v2.12 on my hp ipaq4700...
IR working from over 4 metres - if only the program was a little more user friendly i'd buy it - very limited skins for new devices... no AMP skin and it has a VCR skin- haven't turned one of those on in over 8 years..
looks like the IR unit on the pda is good so will have to try other apps...

Now tried Nevo and Vito - neither support my 4700hp with the IR port at the button - (Vito has a rotate 180- but thats only for the buttons/labels - not the whole screen; and it doesn't do that very well) - back to remotecontrol II i guess...

what distance are people getting on this Software? Novii got barely 2 feet on my wizard.
Some say its software, some say its hardware.. just want to know what to expect.

hi to all,
I'm very happy about having Remotecontrol, but now i am looking for a Software that can read ccf files. I have heard about TV Remote control. Does anybody tested this app on a HTC Wizard? Pls help.

hi every one. first post here.
i have tried to get my vario2 to act as a universal remote and as of yet not much luck. i have tried using winpda remote software and nevo software but it just doesnt work. has any body had any success with this type of application?

I used to use some similar software with my P900......unfortunatly the IRDA port on the Hermes isnt particularly powerful so you really dont get much range out of it
Try next to the device, then try a typical distance away...say 10 feet (i think that would be a realistic distance to use a remote??).

LOL I tried it to some time ago, it has a range of 15 cm LOOOL IRDA just sucks, I dont understand why HTC even put this crab in there models..

For that exact purpose, IRDA! The infra red port is not intended to be used as a universal remote controller
The IRDA port on the P900 was also crappy but i got about a 5 foot range LOL!

thats what i never understood, i liked the idea first off of doing a remote using the phone but having to walk upto the TV or DVD sorta makes it pointless.

novii remote works great on my 8525..it works better on my daughters ****ty little 13" better then my plasma haha

i read about a software package that worked on wifi for media centres. does any one know the name of it?

I have used VITO Remote on my 6700, and it worked great. I have also had no luck with any remote control software on the 8525, VITO, Nevo, etc. I will tell you this much, my attempts had NOTHING come from the IRDA port. I took my 6700's camera to watch for the light and there was nothing. To make sure my IRDA port worked, I went to explorer and had it send a file, that showed activity on the port, so I know it works, just not with the RC programs I've tried. I'm going to try the NoviiRemote and see if I can get that to work and report back.

Just downloaded and tried NoviiRemote Deluxe. Nope, didn't work. I got errors straight away. I am however running a cooked WM6 ROM, so it might be a compatability issued with WM6. My previous attempts with VITO and Nevo were with the most recent HTC rom running WM5, so I know it wasn't an issue with WM6

Ok, call me stuborn. I got NoviiRemote to work. Infared is on COM3, and so I naturally used that and it didn't work. I noticed IRDA is on COM1 and tried that. VOILA! Using my webcam, I see blinkies!! So I put it in learn mode, program in my controls for my plasma and it works. Not the best mind you, I have to be under 4' from it, but it does work.
Because I'm on a roll, I try VITO and Nevo. Nevo I can't configure it to a specific port, so that isn't gonna work, and VITO pops up saying it's not compatible with my processor. No matter, I like that NoviiRemot flips the screen for orientation with the infrared port on the bottom of my 8525.

LMAO just walk over and change channels

remote
I use novii no problem on my herms
range is average, but go the custom set-up and works a treat on my Sony amp, tv/dvd/settop box, and xbox.
my 2cents
cheers

Novii Remote works great on my Hermes - not a glitch!

I have a dell axim x5 also.. I do remember a 3rd party IR upgrade kit was available, making the range nice and long.
Has anyone seen such a thing for the hermes ?
