Synchronize X1 with W7 x86 beta?

I don't have any luck with connecting my X1 to my computer running Windows 7 beta 32-bit.
Windows mobile device center just stops working.
Anyone tried this and got it to work?

It works for me on Windows 7 Beta 32-bit.
I let Windows Update install any software it could find, got the sync centre and devices program up and running.

yep works fine here i just installed the wmdc 6.1 for vista and it works, do you have av or firewall interfering?

Nope crashes Activesync here as well. The phone still connects tho, and can be browsed via explorer

use windows mobile device manager, download that and it will sync fine...i already use Windows 7 to flash, so everything works fine. if you install that

if there is no other way for you labaan, try to use vm-ware and install xp32
into vmware. i`ve flashed one of my phones with vm-ware under server 2003 (32bit).
for example, the nokia software is not installable under 2003. (wrong os error)
vm-ware works (under 2003) fine.

Are you using the win 7 beta?
activesync is for XP it's not the right program to use at all!

Hey Win 7 users... howz it going so far? I loved the new Beta! it was faster than Vista and more stable too... but i reverted back to vista for the time being. But already Vista is giving me troubles so i'm thinking of moving up again... what say you?

When it's a laptop you wanna install to, i prefer keeping one OS. I just replaced my Vista on the desktop with Windows 7... i guess if that holds fine i'll move to Windows 7 on my laptop as well.

I Love Windows 7, it's what that bloody awful Vista should have been, took me ages to get games to work on Vista without crashing every 10 minutes, and you can notice the speed increase especially on my laptop

Windows 7 is definitely a step in the right direction. An OS that actually will not only be powerful, stable, and fast! but will go head-on with MAC OSX and others in terms of interface!
I love the new wallpaper schemes that lets you set a wallpaper slideshow!
Can't wait to see what they've got planned for Windows 7 for Mobile Devices...

Wow. Even more of an early adopter than I am. I have been running Win7 for a while, but I always dual boot. I used to dual boot Vista and XP but never used XP. Now I dual boot Vista and 7, but I like to stay in 7. I was using the PDC build with the goodies unlocked. Just installed the official beta today and will try to sync soon.

For a start, I agree with others in this thread - w7 is definitely a nice xperiance!
But unfortunately I have still not been able to get my mobile device center to like me. Tried installing wmdc 6.1 for vista 32, but got some error message during installation process stating that 'device not connected'. I'm getting this no matter if my device is connected or not.
On the other hand, when I see in the program list it seems like it was 6.1 that was installed from the beginning?
Even though wmdc crashes when attempt to connect, I get the double arrow on device and I can browse it with explorer on w7. Should be nice to have the sync part work though ...

Thats odd, there was no wmdc installed on mine, just a pointless "sync" control panel.

..Sorry to interrupt your talks.
Are you synchronizing your Device with only 1 PC or 2 PCs?
I refering to another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3161672#post3161672) - with less responses..
while wondering, because for me it seems that no one is really using the synch features.
Maybe somebody will have more news on that strange behaviour.
By the way MS, SE and HTC know the problem.
Cheers
..

I had to disable advanced network mode (aka disable faster data sync) in USB to PC to get it to work. Syncs fine now. I am set up to sync with my exchange server, vista partition of my laptop, and 7 partition of my laptop. (I dont actually sync with my laptop; just set it up to sync so that I dont get the WMDC popup everytime I plug in; I mainly plug in to use for debugging and internet access through PC).

Remote Desktop Mobile - Help!

Hi i am trying to configure remote desktop app on my phone but i cant figure out. If someone could help me figure it out and tell me what i need to do id really appreciate it

easy answer pain in the butt
solution that works RDMplus for win mobile 20mins to setup perfect

I dont really wanna pay anything for it.
I am on the main screen where it asks for the IP address etc. What do i have to put in to get it to work? I cant figure it out. Driving me mad lol

Remote desktop reply
You need your PC connected to Wi-Fi. Turn on Wi-Fi on your HTC TP2 and get connected to your LAN. Get your PC's name. You can find your PC name by right clicking My Computer icon. Also get your PC logon password. Then run the remote desktop app on your HTC TP2 and just fill in the blanks. Of course your PC must be up and running.

Ah i thought it had to be the wireless code!! Thanks, but its still not working. I have windows 7 Home premium? Do i need to do anything on my computer?

your ip is likely to be 192.168.0.3 then its your login name and pass easy, problem is you cant connect over the internet only on your own home wifi, so waste of time really.... getting setup for over internet ive only been able to manage it by being hardlined to router and running static ip again pain in the butt, rdmplus worth every penny for me 20 min setup full screen display file up and down dead easy

Windows Home wont work as far as i am aware. It doesn't have the needed features. Though search for Allow remote access to this computer on the start bar to make sure.

Ok progress.. it not trys to connect but says:
The remote computer is not set up for this
Reached maximum number of connections.
I read i might need to configure my computers, its windows 7 home premium

Windows 7 Home Premium DOES NOT have the remote desktop host.
You cannot remote desktop to Windows 7 Home, premium or otherwise.

I just tried this out, how do you get landscape mode?
Annoying

Theres definitely no way to do it then? No patch of hack that can be done?

You need Windows 7 Professional to be able to Remote Desktop in. Home editions have never had the ability to RDP in, though IIRC they can RDP out.

You could install a VNC server on your Windows 7 Home Premium PC, then install a windows mobile VNC client on your HD2.

Is there a way to do this without paying for it?

I wouldn't get to excited, RDP is crap. Use VNC if you want to access the GUI on your PC, or if you just want to access the files on your desktop PC just use a proprietary system such as Logmein.

I have RDP and yeah its crap, VNC is better, but i need to hide the listening server and cant.

I don't know if .NET VNC Viewer works on the HD2, but it's open source. Hasn't been updated for a couple of years though.
For a paid version Mocha VNC is a very good client and works on the HD2.
There are several free VNC server apps for the PC, I prefer [email protected] myself.

Ahh its all driving me mental, I tried some of them but it still wouldnt work! I give up.
Thanks for all the help tho

RealVNC or UVNC on TP2?

Yes or No? I have remote controller and while it works good, it doesnt recognize the slide keyboard, idk if realvnc or uvnc will, but they're more universal and all my machines already have uvnc on them

Are you talking about a viewer/client or a server on your phone?
RealVNC's website says they have a WM viewer, but there don't seem to be any links to it and it appears to be a commercial product. I don't see any evidence that UltraVNC make a WM viewer.
There are a couple of fully workable free viewers around. Search for vnc-E4_2_7b4-arm_pocketpc_viewer or check out http://dotnetvnc.sourceforge.net/.

This version works fine. I've been using it for quite some while now.

awesome, and this supports the proprietary keyboard on the tp2? Its a serious pain in the ace having to pull up the char. map that this remote im using now needs

Got it running perfect, exactly what I was lookin for, thanks for the help guys

Police Scanner for Win Mo?
Ive seen it for both the droid and the (stupid POS) iphone, theres gotta be a scanner for windows mobile, anyone seen anything?

I've been making a couple posts about UltraVNC mobile over at their website, but I doubt any of the developers really have a Windows Mobile phone to mess around with it. I have the RealVNC one, pre-paid-app version. It seems to be the best. I wish UltraVNC did develop a mobile version because I can't view my secondary monitor on the VNC viewer I'm using now.
Also, just as a note, there are VNC servers out there for your phone so you can use a VNC viewer on your PC to control your phone, but I haven't found one that was always stable. This one seems to be the best bet, but now it's a paid-app.

i tried but i kept getting this error: unable to connect to host: connection timed out (10060)
i was able to connect from pc to pc but not wm to pc. host runs on Win 7 with Outpost firewall. I already allow it on my firewall and forwarded those ports on my router. if you or anyone knows the solution, please tell me. thx.

on your windows 7 pc run uvnc server, Not realvnc. It doesnt work idk why. set it up to recieve the user, pass, and to recieve remote input and then connect using wm realvnc. works on all my machines

I found this a while back it seems to work fine just unzip and copy over to your SD card then run the exe. I personally copied it to my programs folder then created a shortcut to in my start menu.

where do you get realvnc from

where can i download realnvc?
is it a freeware??

I too have been trying to figure this out. What I found out is that for remote desktop, you need to have windows vista/7 Professional. Windows Vista Home will not allow you to have your computer controlled from your phone.

Yes its freeware
This is the link to the viewer and server for your PC
http://www.realvnc.com/cgi-bin/download.cgi
Now I must say im using XP, I HAVE VNC'd into vista and win7 PCs using the view on my tp2. However on one machine running Win7 I couldnt get the PC to recognize the server app. As of right now I simply use the wifirouter on my tp2, connect to its network and use the assigned IP to log in. RealVNC also allows WAP logins but I havent messed with it simply because I dont really need to lol.
In any case, here's the .cab for our phone attached.

I believe the reason for this is that the "Home" editions of Vista and 7 don't let you join a domian (that's one of the things M$ wants you to upgrade for), which as I understand it is necessary for a remote desktop connection.

You kidding me? VNC is a mess compared to Remote Desktop.
With RD, you get the closest thing possible to having a full fledged desktop computer on your phone. And it is pretty damn close.
Honestly when I'm at home and my phone is connected to the wifi network, more often than not I prefer to use it as a mere dummy terminal interface to my main computer.
Remote Desktop + any desktop web browser absolutely destroys every mobile browser ever created. Entire web pages load instantly and somehow look exactly like they would on a regular computer! Hell, you even get Flash support (a bit choppy but it's something).
And the Rhodiums screen resolution gives more than enough room for most web pages to render without the need to zoom out.
Remote Desktop even allows you to easily transfer files wirelessly between your phone and computer by mapping a drive on it that links to your phones file system.
The only thing I'd say against it is that it can be difficult to click on small targets even with the stylus.
I do sympathize with users who run a Windows version without the Remote Desktop Service built in. RDP is probably one of the very few good reasons to get Pro or above versions of Windows.

Windows Vista Home edition does not include Windows Remote Desktop therefore quite obviously you cannot connect to your laptop via your phone, gotta get professional or ultimate for that.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/...ther-computer-using-Remote-Desktop-Connection
Read "notes"
but, of course there are hacks to make it work fine lol it is included in service pack 1 but is not "labeled" try this
Steps to Add Remote Desktop to Vista Home Premium:
1. Download termsrv.zip here
2. Extract Termsrv.zip to a temp directory
3. Start “Command Prompt” in Administrator mode (right click Run As Administrator) it in in Start Menu, All Programs, Accessories, just right click on it
4. Run the corresponding batch file for your Vista edition (if you extracted it to your desktop then it will be C:\Users\[enter user name]\Desktop\Premium
5. Allow TCP Port 3389 on Windows Firewall or any other firewall product if needed
6. Done
(just tested on Windows Vista Home Premium and it worked fine)
(dont forget to reboot)

Could not find server, which is wiers cause all my pcs are interconnected, i can control any one of them from any PC

I guess a good place to start would be to try pinging the computer you want to connect to. You can do that with dotFreds Task Manager. You are trying to connect on a LAN correct?

I messed around with this earlier and couldnt get it to work. My pc is running windows 7 ultimate 64bit edition. I'm almost positive I had all the settings correct but I was trying to connect to my pc which was connected wirelessly to the router. Would this not work? If not how would one go abouts doing this without a lan connection? I'd love to get this baby working and am willing to be a guinea pig so that hopefully we can get a procedure together for all others

after trying remote desktop mobile to make it work i just give up!!!
try this go to www.logmein.com make a free account download logmein software to you laptop install the free softwares !
install cab to tp2
use the two files below.
1. Install XDA first, reboot,
2. install IEtoggle, open IEtoggle, switch IE to PIE,
3.start up IE and sign into logmein.
This worked for me. the only thing is not working is the keyboard
keyboard problems go here !! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444641 it might work !

I routinely use the RDP client on my phone to connect to my desktop computer over wifi LAN. Although my computer is hardwired to the network.
Are you able to remote desktop to your pc with another computer?
Did you select the "Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop" option in the System Properties:Remote dialog?
Could there be some 3rd party firewall software you are running that might be blocking the RDP port?
Also, I've found that when having network issues especially involving wifi, often reseting your router to its default settings, and if necessary upgrading the firmware can help.

Remote Desktop Help.

Please don't say use google, i have been on the phone with htc, on countless treads trying to do this. None of them helped.
I have a 64 bit Windows 7 and a win6.5 HTC HD2.
I cannot connect using remote desktop,
I have tried, open ports, firewalls down, allowing the remote to access, Lan/Wireless Ips, 3 Different HTC HD2 phones.
My phone and laptop running on same router, my router is a 2wire 2701HGV-B
I am open to any suggestions besides flashing due to that i don't know how to do it and i don't want to brick my phone.
My ROM is 2.10.531.1 and my radio is 2.08.50.08_2 if that helps.
I would appreciate help and suggestions if you have any. Thanks!

What version of W7 do you have ? Remote desktop will only work with professional or ultimate. If you are running home premium it will not work.

i am running home edition but i heard you can still run remote desktop with home. hmmm

Actually, this is a problem for me too. I'll buy Win7 soon and i must know if i need the professional version.. otherwise i'll just stay with home edition witch is more than enough for me..
I can assure is works very well (even in landscape mode) with the Ultimate RC i am using now.

For Home Premium users like myself, you need to follow the instructions on This Website

RDM
I use RDP on my home PC to connect to my work PC, which I have all the settings.
Can I connect to my work PC with the RDM program on the phone or do I need something else? I've put all the settings in but keep getting the same error (Can't connect, 1. invalid name or IP 2. Network error).
