Whats the IR on the Exec like? I know some devices are excellent, and some devices suck, range-wise....
Do you currently use novii remote deluxe 3.2 ?
EDIT: Found my own question answered.... apparenly the IR is VERY powerful... so much formy bike ride, now I'm gonna control my house instead!

Nuther EDIT: Just tested it - works an absolute treat, although no landscape support yet (IR on EXEC is on the side) but can live with that as long as I can find a Sky .pdb file...
Final EDIT: Forget about all the other progs, this one works brilliantly - and you can download loads of pdb files from handango for free too, and they're p1ss easy to customise. Found a sky one, wasn't perfect, so made it perfect.
Gonna have fun here.... might actually forget about setting up 4 separate devices, and setup one only, using one device, with learned codes from the most popular buttons of all my devices, and fit it over one or two screens....
I really like the look of Net Remote, I have a Pronto so am no stranger to congiring screens etc. CCF import is a real bonus, however I couldn't make it actually control anything on my XDA Mini S (Wizard). I've a feeling the IR transmitter (if that's the right word) isn't compatible with this software.
I want to control TV, DVD, TiVo etc. as well as X-10 Lighting. I know range will be a bit of an issue, but I've yet to get anything working at all. I'm not looking for someone to walk me through it, just a confirmation it can be done will be sufficient to keep me trying .
Also, I'd like some opinions... What's you favourite IR Remote Control Software?
Cheers,
Mark.
Anyone been able to fine a remote control app for the 6800? Just something that (preferably) uses IR and can control my laptop with Vista MCE installed? I tried many different remote control apps and haven't got 1 to work, none of them so far are compatible.
IR is almost useless unless you're very close to the device... so close, in fact, that it would be easier to actually use the device you're trying to control.
There are many apps that can be used over bluetooth or over IP (which are both far better than IR).
There was an article I read about this once from Pocket PC mag which went into detail on this subject, and lists all the options. I don't have the exact address, but if you look around you should find it.

Really, have they lowered the IR power in recent devices? I used to run a remote control app in my e330 Toshiba Pocket PC and it worked better than the real remote I had. Even worked from a room away... I'd change the channel and my roomates wouldn't know what was hitting them... since they were sitting on the couch with the remote .

The ir in my treo 600 only worked from 3 feet away. That was a waste of time. Haven't even thought about rc programs since. Like Dishe said, if you're that close, you might as well just use the buttons on the front of the device; or use the original remote.
i've been looking for a remote control ir program that can control tv, dvd player, etc. with a 6800. but no luck yet, anybody know of one?
Buy a Universal Remote
remote
i too have been looking for a program i could use as a remote control, i had novii on my 6700 and it worked great (fun messing with the guys at the fire station) but i haven't been able to get anything to work on the 6800!
im interested in this too.... hmmm keep me posted
I think I found the software you were looking for while browsing a different forum.
Its call NoviiRemote
http://www.novii.tv/pocketpc/deluxe/
Quoting the user guide:
NoviiRemote Deluxe turns your Pocket PC into a Universal Learning Remote Control!
You can control all of your home entertainment equipment with one easy-to-use program.
Search for it at mobilecastle.biz
novi remote doesnt work for the 6800. well not for me. But i havent tried the deux version. But it gave me an error about ir not being present or something.
has anyone tried this software?

I just haven't had much time to play with it
Noviremote works real well if you have the sd card antenna
Otherwise it's a waste of time. Now if Moviremote could come up with a new MICRO SD card slotted antenna...
Indeed,
Novi Doesn't Work, Neither Does Vito Remote
it says "Device has unsupported processor: MSM7500-400Mhz"
so i rly think theres something different about the 6800/mogul's IR that the programs are not yet compatible with :-(
Theres another program ive tried on the 6800 as-well, that didn't work....
though the name of the prgram escapes me @ the time.
try NetRemote.. Haven't tried it yet on my 6800, but worked like a champ on my Axim x51v
I've tried VNC, Niveus PocketRemote, novi, PPC Tablet, none of them run or run well.
i'm going to try rudeo tonight
haven't tried highpad Media Control
Found one maybe
I was able to install this on my Titan and it seems to work but have not yet seen it work since I can't find my tv codes - but at least it seems like it might work. It does not "learn" codes from other remotes unfortunately (unless I missed something) but if you can determine the code for your TV it just might work.
Please let me know if you can get this to actually control a device from your Titan
Thanks for this! This is the one thing I miss from my Palm days. heck when the dog ate my $100 remote I was able to go to a store, learn all of the custom codes for my Home Theater and have all of it workin again. Univiersal remotes never to stuff like allow you to change CDs in a 3cd player and other stuff like that even if you try all of the pre-programed choices for that vender...
Please keep us up to date with your findings. I'm gonna try that Nevo cab.

I have transfered files from my Titan to another Titan from up to six feet away so the IR is not really that weak, from what I have read at another thread is the IR on the Titan the uses a different technology, so honestly it doesn't looks good I spend a good time researching on this and another forums with no luck.
hey, I was trying the watchon app that comes with the phone, it's cool, and it works with my tv and some other things, but kinda hard to make it work with projectors, and also, can't control other stuff, like my air conditioner, stereo, etc.
so what you guys think is the best IR remote control app?
something with more kinds of devices, or maybe one that can learn controls? (not sure how it works.)
thanks in advance
i have tested a few in a hunt for an app that can control my decoder, and i havent found any yet.
but for my tv i use ZaZa Remote, i would apreciate any recommadations myself.
but AFAIK the s4 in itself isnt able to learn IR codes, but i think you can buy an ir dongle for some of the apps which are capable of learning commands.
I wanna know does over phone support this function so i can use my phone as a remote control for TV ?
Not support.

You can easily connect two ir led toaudio jack And run the ir codes in format of sound. There is an app for this I dont remember the name so a quick search might help u
