how to communicate to a phone with no screen? - Networking

i want to make sure this htc s620 works before i buy a replacement screen. the only thing i could think of was flash a rom, and it reached 100% saying it was successful but id like to test it more.
can i communicate to the phone over USB some how and run some commands? i thought maybe remote desktop the phone but that would mean installing an app to the phone (something i cannot do without a screen).

You can use mymobiler http://www.mymobiler.com/
With this freeware, you can view your mobile screen on your desktop and control your mobile by using desktop keyboard and mouse.
Just install it on your desktop, sync the phone with activesync and click on connect, it will automatically (and silently so you don't need to see the screen) install on the phone.

Thankyou so much!

i too would try mymobiler first- other than that you could try "mtty" and telnet in

O2 XDA - wireless 'linkup' experiment! Help?

Hi,
I was just wondering if its possible to 'link' the XDA Exec with multiple Laptops so that the laptops all show the XDA's display? Lets assume all Laptops have wi-fi, bluetooth and run Windows XP.
Purposes may be to share a PP presentation, show a software demo etc. (I need to give a tutorial and demo in a room with no projector ).
I was curious if anyone has had any experiance with this? Any advice regarding the best setup (or software) would be great. Cheers.
Nobody any ideas whatsoever?
You could install windows media encoder on one of the laptops, and a remote control app. Then run the remote control app so you can see your phone's screen. Once that's working you can run windows media encoder in screen caputre mode, all the other laptops will be able to connect it it then.

You can play with Microsoft's "ActiveSync Remote Display". The tool allows you to work with your PPC remotely from your laptop/PC using ActiveSync connection. But you will need to install ActiveSync and this tool to every laptop
If it is a matter of presentation, why don't you copy your presentation to local server's shared folder and ask people to open the file from this folder and listen to your instructions, like Going to next slide... At least there won't be any hassle with intervention to participants' laptops and personal space ))
ps: if you do possess a PC you can run something like MS Netmeeting and establish AS connection with your PDA through AS Remote Display at your PC. Share AS Remote Display application and ask people to connect to your PC's NetMeeting or any other remote conference software
Let us know on your results
Cheers

Thats my last resort - I hate doing presentations like this especially when we have the technology to do something 'fancy' :lol:
I will give some feedback to let you know how I managed it (I will succeed)!
Cheers for the ideas!

I just had a look at AS Remote Display and it seemed this would do the trick - However, it does not work with Windows Mobile 5.0.
Does anyone know of a release of AS Remote Display for Windows Mobile 5? I had a look around but there does not seem to be much on offer which is compliant with 5.0.
Right, another problem.
I just installed an app called : Laplink Controller thinking as it offered the functionality I was looking for.
After a supposidly successful install I tried to run it - no joy. It reccommended I uninstall and re-install the software, so I did.
When re-installing I got a message saying:
Cannot load resouce library:
\Windows\MWRes???412L.dll
It now comes up everytime I do a soft reset. Anybody seen this error?

is it possible to use the screen

My Mobiler Shows the phones screen on the desktop monitor and allow you to click on your phones screen in a window, or it also allows you to move your mouse off screen and it will show up on the phone.
However I believe the OP wanted his desktop to display on his phone and use his phone as a mouse when clicking the touchscreen.
Here's what he's looking for.

Salling Clicker does the job quite well (it can do many other things too to control your computer from your PDA), but it's not free.

any way to remote admin from pc TO pda?

i'm looking for a program that can allow me to see a phone's screen on my windows pc, but not through usb or anything, just over the internet.
Logme In has it and it works well
https://secure.logmeinrescue.com/Mobile/Home.aspx
logmein rescue is a nice web app, I've tried it out before and it does work. I don't use it anymore, I'm still looking for a cheaper/free alternative. MyMobiler is all i've got for now, but thats only a local connection (usb, bluetooth, lan).
yeah i'm definitely looking for something free... something that has a client on the pc and a host on the pda or something in that direction.
Mobilecontrollers does this, but it's not for free.

Use My Mobiler - http://www.mtux.com/
For what your looking for, you need to check out Z2Remote2PC. It offers that type of connectivity. I tried it but unsuccessful, and the company doesnt offer a detail guide on how to do it! I belive it may be hard because your carrier may block that connection.

logmein.com

Anyone succesfully used this on their HD2 yet, I can only seem to get it to work in computer mode rather than mobile... on mobile mode it gave you a nice full screen window you could move around in that was basically your remote pc screen (on my tytn II) - use this all the time (well I did!)
A quote from the mail i got from them:
At one point Smart Phones with Windows Mobile was supported. But due to recent firmware upgrades on the new phones they are not supported right now. Development is aware of this issue and they hope to resolve this soon.

Managed to get Logmein working using IE Toggle, the problem is with the new version of IE, and this let's you toggle between old and new.
Only problem, I can't get the software keyboard working.... so I can log in, mouse clicks are all fine, so can read email etc.... but can't reply etc.

Controlling PC Remote Desktop

Hello
I am able to connect to my PC via the htc remote desktop application.
How do I stop it logging out the current user? This happens even when logging on with the same account.
I am trying to use my phone as a PC mouse to open file videos etc, so need to see the desktop at the same time on my phone.
Does anyone have a better way of doing this. I have tried logmein but this website does not allow me to select anything using the touch screen, although I can view the desktop fine.
Thanks
It's not possible to see on both with remote desktop.
You should look into VNC. Or if you don't need to have the screen on the phone but just mouse/keyboard controls there's G-Remote.
You could also try logmein.com - it is great!

I use Mocha VNC.
You can try the following website, this shows how to allow concurrent remote desktop sessions, it is geared towards windows 7 but its a start...

Also, that method doesn't let you see the same desktop on the phone as on the pc, , , both are logged on, yes, and (example) files saved to the desktop will both be seen, however one wouldn't see the same windows media player as the other, and indeed you would have trouble with both logins running (some of) the same program together.
I know this because i have both vista and win7 installs that have had concurrent logins enabled, which I didfor exactly the same reason as OP, heh, it didn't work. Hah.
Something like the "Logitech Touch Mouse" app for the iTouch/Phone would be cool on a Windows Mobile platform.
More info about it http://www.geek.com/articles/mobile/control-your-pc-with-the-logitech-touch-mouse-iphone-app-2010021/
When I'm in bed, I'd like to be able to control my PC with my phone as if it were a TV remote controller or in other words a wireless mouse+keyboard.

It's exactly it, plus a lot more like g-sensor support, direct media player control, etc. Search for it on here.
Hi all, first-time poster here, although long-time admirer of the excellent work that goes on here.
This thread has compelled me to post as a winmo version of this "Logitech Touch Mouse" app would be a really handy to control my media pc at home, as well as the Skype conferencing machine at work in place of the bulky and ugly wireless keyboard we currently use.
