Air Sharing for Windows Mobile?

First things first, I'm not new to the forum...and I apologize for creating a thread for this!
So I was in the iTunes app store for my iPod Touch and I came across this ultimately cool app: Air Sharing
http://www.avatron.com/products/
This program lets you use the iPhone/iPod Touch as a virtual drive, available with pw protection.
Do any of you know if theres something like this for Windows Mobile Phones? Or if someone is interested in developing something like this?

There are apps that will turn the PDA into a USB disk. I prefer just running a small FTP server on the PDA to dump my files via WiFi whenever I need to.
Now if someone could only port a SSH server as well so I could tunnel traffic though SSH, that be sweet.

really? Do you mind posting up the usb app or something like that?

it's called wmstorage i think the most recent one is 1.8 you should be able to search in dev and hack and find it

what type of device do you have?
wm5 storage works really well, also softick card export will show on pc as usb drive. but these are not wireless.

wow thanks a lot for all the suggestions, though the wireless part of air sharing is totally cool. I'll be sure to look into the suggestions tho
So does anyone know how to make something like air share? I have the touch, since I dont like the iPhone..(weird i know) but the touch uses wifi so it couldnt keep a stable internet connection all the time thus not allowing me access files on it all the time as well..
Any chances a developer out there would take a look into something like this?

a Friend had Airshare on his iphone,
he come to me, had my WLAn Key...
he startet Airshare, give me an Link (from his Iphone)
i write it to my Internet Explorer at PC, and TATA, i can download or Upload Files to the Iphone
needs some seconds Time, that i can Upload Files to Airshare
WOW WOW WOW
this is really cool
i search as well an Ap for WM like Airshare.

Bump this thread, very interested in an app like this, used the air sharing today on an iphone and would love to be able to use my phone as a wireless drive. Ive tried things like mocha ftp and can only send from phone to computer not the other way. Appreciate any help with finding an app for winmo!
Thanks in advance.

edit double post.

I use mocha and I can send from the computer to the phone just fine. If you're having problems doing that, try using a dedicated FTP client like FileZilla.

Here is my good deed of the day:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-serversman.html
I tested, checked for any issues and found none. It literally setups your phone as a server.
However, it a very little known app. Play at your own risk.

Very kind. Thank you for your speedy response. This is why I love XDA Devs.

OK. Slightly delayed response here... However, I'm considering switching back to a WinMo phone and ditching the restricted iPhone... However, I would like to ensure that I have the same functionality on my WinMo as I do with my iPhone, so I'm looking for similar or same apps before I make the switch... Looks like "Air Sharing" has a WinMo comparable app: www . mobile-stream . com / airshare . html ... Mobile Stream's "Air Share"...

Does the mobile-stream work for windows mobile to use it as a secondary monitor for computer?
also I notice its only for bluetooth. Is there on for just using internet ?

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/.

There was also a beta 5: vnc-E4_2_7b5-arm_pocketpc_viewer

Here you go...
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.
First Post by the way

Use N1 as touchpad for PC running VNC

I am looking for an app that will allow me to use my N1 as a basic touchpad for my PC running VNC. I hap an app for my iPad that did just this, but I had to sell my iPad. It worked flawlessly, had multitouch gestures for scrolling, forward/back, etc. The app for my iPad was free, and I'm hoping to find one that is free for Android as well. I've done a lot of searching, and all I can find are apps that $3+ or ones that require some other server side software and don't work with VNC. I was recently fired from my job of ten years and my right hand is broken(I'm right handed BTW) so free is preferable, I'd be willing to pay $1.00 even. I don't need keyboard support, just mouse with buttons, drag/drop, multitouch would be nice too. My phone is rooted and running CM7, if that helps any.

Not sure about compatability with VNC, but Gmote works pretty nicely though you do have to install SW. I have a HTPC in my bedroom and sometimes it is just easier to control using my phone when lying down.

Saw that, it doesn't use VNC. Whatever I'm looking for needs to be using VNC.

gmote 2.0 works pretty well, you just have to install a server on your computer which is pretty easy. in-app instructions are given after you dl it from the market.

As I stated in the OP and my last reply, I don't want to install another piece of software. I want to use VNC. If it was done on iOS device for free, then it's bound to exist for Android as well for free or cheap.

have you tried gmote? it works really well

lllullzz i just asked him about the exact same thing two posts above haha

Have you tried Gmote? (sorry, couldn't resist. It is really good though)
I haven't really found anything that doesn't require additional software on top of your VNC software. The closest thing I can think of would be another VNC program. I personally use android-vnc-viewer which works great, but again it's just a straight VNC program.

why would you want to do it via vnc that transmits video when you can use gmote and send the mouse co-ordinated via touchpad directly to the server running on the computer, seems like ur buy the tea factory just for 1 cuppa

I don't want full video of my desktop, this is the app I had on my iPad that did just what I'm asking for here. I thought it was free, but I guess I had forgoten that it wasn't. In any case, it made my iPad into a grey surface that I could use with my PC like a touchpad, but it worked via VNC.

Hey, have you tried Gmote? I use it as home and it works pretty well.

So I broke down and tried gmote, it sucks, lags badly, no multitouch. I saw other apps that have multitouch, but I'm still back to the fact that I don't need some other piece of crap running in the background just for this when I know it can be done with VNC. If it can be done on iOS, I know it can be done on Android, just wish I were a programer so I could do it myself.

Please read the previous posts, gmote has been mentioned many times already.

Unified Remote
You could try the 'Unified Remote' app for Android (but it requires a server-side application to run on the PC).
The touchpad part works awesomely, and Unified Remote will work via Bluetooth or Wifi/3G.
There are also 'plugin' remotes that work for other situations, like Youtube remote, Windows Media Player remote, keyboard, VLC remote, etc...

I can't remember where I heard it from but I heard gmote works good.

[Q] HD2 Remote Desktop Programs

Hi all,
I presently am using Shape Services RDM+ to do my remote tasks and although a little cumbersome on the HD2 it does work great, however its the cumbersome bit that is making me wonder what else is out there that 1; WORKS! and 2; Is free or at least a reasonable price (RDM+ is reasonable).
Ones I have tried and they failed miserably are MS's own remote desktop and Symantecs pcAnywhere. The MS creation as usual was nothing but error message after error message and pcAnywhere would connect then disconnect every time so they are both ditched.
RDM+ connects reliably and stays connected and does what I want but it was made for use with a stylus and that's annoying on the HD2. Maybe an update one day will fix this annoyance with it because it really is very good otherwise.
So what else could do the job reliably that also has a finger touch interface designed for our great HD2's?
Thanks for suggestions.

try logmein ignition ...its a great app

I use tightvnc on the PC,then connect to it using androidvnc on the phone.you will get better results using vnc solutions than remote desktop solutions(although they are pretty much the same thing) with the added benefit that windows wont log you off when you connect from the phone using vnc,meaning you can use the phone as a remote and see the results on the PC monitor.with remote desktop you can't be logged in at the PC and at the phone.even with the concurrent logins hack which would allow this,you wouldn't see the same things on each screen.
Summary get tightvnc for PC and androidvnc from market.

there's also zaDekstop, which seem bit old but is: 1. free 2. more convenient than WM's Remote Desktop,

I gave logmein a go the other day and it would not install successfully to my Vista PC.
I might give it another go, ignition does not seem to offer a winmo6.5 version but worth a shot anyway.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Ummm...should of said I'm running good ole winmo 6.5 so I'm guessing androidvnc will not be much good, is there a winmo vnc at all? I'll google and find out.
