Hi Guys,
Some simple Questions that I cant seem to find much of a conclusive answer to for most.
Looking at purchasing the Orange version of the Himalaya/XDAii (SPV M1000) VERY shortly, but wondered if you guys (whom seem to know everything about these toys) could answer me some quick questions:
All software ideally would be opensource & and under FreeBSD or GPL2.
1. SSH Client - are there any available that support passphrases etc (recomendations)?
2. IRC Client - is there any (recomendations)?
3. IM Clients (other than M$'s) (recomendations) - looking for minimal functionality?
4. Does PPC2003 have a task switcher, or do you have to close, and reopen things?
5. Iv'e seen some posts here that talk about Linux connectivity, how good is it, and what exactly can be synced, and to what?
6. Can any of the syncing of contacts/mail etc be done to NON M$ apps on the PC with/without 3rdparty apps? Ideally anyone know of any apps to sync with Mozilla (under XP).
7. I assume email is regular pop/smtp/imap so one can whack in custom servers/details etc (ala non hotSPAMrelay.com stuff)? Or is there an alternative to M$LookOut thats known to work with mutiple accounts on the XDAii?
8. What level of Java is supported on these little things? e.g. will they run MindTerm SSH clients?
9. Anyone run this with sync/connection to WinXP running in a VM under Linux?
10. Is there a cygwin availble for the PPC2003 OS, and is it anygood? (Iv'e heard rumours of a M$ written version)
11. Can the Himalayer be used as a webcam via Bluetooth/GPRS? Im thinking 'not of me' webcam, being the camera is on the back
I was very badly dissapointed by the obscure and totally lacking information on M$ site - though it's probably there, just impossible to find like most other things.
Many Thanks Guys!
Re: SSH,IRC,IM cleints & Linux & connectivity/syncin
1. SSH Client
Avaible some clients. I think there are a PuTTY port too. I think without a keyboard, console window is unuseable.
2. IRC Client - is there any
I never use, search google.
3. IM Clients (other than M$'s) (recomendations) - looking for minimal functionality?
There is MSN built in, and does not working, because it need to upgrade There are an official ICQ program ww.icq.com.
This is nice:
http://www.movsoftware.com/products/imov/imov.htm
(AOL, ICQ, MSN)
4. Does PPC2003 have a task switcher, or do you have to close, and reopen things?
There is a very basic taskmanager-like memory manager utility built in. There is some utility program, they make a taskbar like desktop computers, and there is some real taskmanager and process wiever program. Search PHM taskmanager on the net.
To test, how the PocketPC working, download the free MS development SDK. It contains an emulator.
5. Iv'e seen some posts here that talk about Linux connectivity, how good is it, and what exactly can be synced, and to what?
I tested linux on ipaq 3630. Its good, but syncing with linux or windows is not working at this time. (only contacts as I remember)
http://www.handhelds.org
There is screenshots too, but it not work on XDA I think.
6. Can any of the syncing of contacts/mail etc be done to NON M$ apps on the PC with/without 3rdparty apps? Ideally anyone know of any apps to sync with Mozilla (under XP).
As I heard, you can synchronize with BAT.
7. I assume email is regular pop/smtp/imap so one can whack in custom servers/details etc (ala non hotSPAMrelay.com stuff)? Or is there an alternative to M$LookOut thats known to work with mutiple accounts on the XDAii?
I don't understand the question well because of my wrong english.
You can setup different accounts, and there is many 3th party e-mail clients. A free and good one: nPOP
8. What level of Java is supported on these little things? e.g. will they run MindTerm SSH clients?
There is several (mor than 10) different JAVA stuff for pocket pc. Search it on this forum! I have never tried java.
9. Anyone run this with sync/connection to WinXP running in a VM under Linux?
I don't know. The XP under the VM can see USB?
10. Is there a cygwin availble for the PPC2003 OS, and is it anygood? (Iv'e heard rumours of a M$ written version)
Good idea What do you want with your pocket pc? )
11. Can the Himalayer be used as a webcam via Bluetooth/GPRS? Im thinking 'not of me' webcam, being the camera is on the back
dont know
If you have more questions, write it. I will answer what I can.
Hi! Hope you could help me (again) :?
First I need to tell - I was searching the forum and net, but unfortunately I can't find what I'm exactly looking for.
(I'm asking about Wizard not Universal / Himalaya...)
What is in your opinion the best (easiest, fastest, most readable with 320x240 resolution, working full screen and in landscape mode, cheapest...) way to remotely connect to the desktop workstation?
[1] Connecting to the Linux box
1A. Command line / shell via ssh/ssh2 – there’s no need to use any special server software nor configuration, but there’s a question about the best client software. Right now I'm going to use http://www.pocketputty.net/. Did you try any of these with Wizard?
PocketPuTTY 0.1 for WM2003 (stable)
PocketPuTTY 0.2 for PPC2002 (highly experimental, unstable)
PocketPuTTY 2006-05-04 dev snapshot for WM2003 (latest, highly experimental)
How stable is the “dev snapshot” version and is there any other (free or almost free) ssh/ssh2 client for PocketPC?
I used to use PuTTY for Symbian S60 and it worked like a charm...
1B. Remote Desktop – what is the best client-server software to do it?
I used to use VNC for Linux PC – Linux PC connection, but I’m not sure if it’s good idea to use VNC with (so) small screen. Any tips and tricks or suggestions how to configure both ends?
[2] Connecting to WindowsXP PC
2A. Command line / shell via ssh/ssh2 – is it possible at all?
Will I need software acting as a server on the PC or there is this kind of software already in the system? Tips & Tricks & configuration examples are very welcome
2B. Remote Desktop – the best client & server software to do it?
Should I use VNC (server and client, like under Linux) or Remote Desktop server already incorporated in WinXP (what about the client in this case)?
And finally – where I can find a manual, help files or specification of the TSC pre installed on my device? Is this software useable?
Maybe I’m looking for something I already have…
Sorry for plenty of questions, but longer I'm searching - more questions I have.
I really appreciate yours opinions
All advices, links, PM's are very, very welcome
Thanks in advance

To use the pre installed terminal server you need to turn on remote desktop (winxp pro) and input your ip address on the wizard in the terminal server application, as long as your firewall is configured to allow the connection you should be able to control your pc using the software you already have, alternatively you can use services like log me in etc.
good luck
post back if you hit trouble

I use logmein.com's basic, free service. simple, quick, encrypted and you dont have to remember ip's or anything.
try http://gomyplace.com/ if you need something simple just to browse files on the remote and execute commands in the command shell
you will need just a regular internet browser to access the remot host
free, open source (GPL), works in NATed, firewalled environments, dynamic IPs, etc.
runs on Linux/Win32/Mac requires Java on the host machine
client needs only internet browser
Linux
PocketPuTTy is the way to go for connecting to a linux machine remotely, I'm using the latest dev build on my PDA and haven't found any issues yet, although i have only been using it for about 2 days. It works fine on the screensize too as its only command line.
Windows
I wouldn't even bother with command line for windows, as its horribly underpowered and wont provide you with much usability. It is possible to run SSH on windows, but like I said, I would see no reason too.
I used to have a VNC client for my old Axim X50 which ran great, it supported screen scaling, so it would fit my entire 1600x1280 screen onto the PDA no problems, and zoomed in when I required. It was only really usable to perform very simple tasks, but thats all I needed. Unfortunately I don't remember the clients name, however there are a number on the market that provide the same features.. maybe trying the following?
http://www.parystec.demon.co.uk/pt_vnc_WM5.htm
I use realVNC for my server. Oh and any VNC client should work with any VNC server, so if you installed VNC on linux, this should work fine.
Hope that helps
I'd like to see this kind of java app run on exec, has enough power and i can play it via terminal server, but i'd like to see it run off the phone
any thoughts

Can you play it via terminal server on the Universal? How does it work? I looked at it on the laptop and it looks like a bit of fun. How can you do it on the XDA?
well how are you connected to the internet,
you on a network?
thats what i am on but i think i understand other types
I run a wireless network to a cable modem. A couple of laptops and my XDA run through the WIFI onto the internet. I was really just wondering of the XDA can run the java environment. Maybe I have misunderstood what you are doing.
The terminal service uses your computer as an operating system (so java is compatiable)
but its more of a link
i want to see java on the universal itself
my xda has something called MidLET manager in the plain old programs folder. it apparently runs java apps but i've never tried it.
that wont work, its because its a sun java pc app
maybe i should try the linux thing
Hello everyone
A little question: is there and if yes how to find out the Hamachi address for our phone? Or an other address, but a public one which is related to the phone, and not to the router. The address i know are the addresses in the 5.0.0.0/8 network. COULD ANYBODY HELP PLEASE????!!!
Thanks in advance
hi i used to have hamachi, i actualy used it in a project but then i discovered a far better way to have voip over vpn going (that was my project). As far as i know hamachi havent released an app for android, there is for ubuntu and other linux distros but not for android. So you need the app to make it work. Now if you want to use it for remote control and share files and more use teamviewer is the best i've found so far and it has an app for Android which works like charm and very fast.

Actually, it goes more about things like hosting, DNS and making a connection to the phone itself. Because of that i was wondering if there exists a device-related address which is accessable on the internet... so.... if anybody knows something....

So you have that new Raspberry Pi all set up with Raspbian and you to use it you have to connect a keyboard and mouse. Maybe you share this keyboard and mouse with another computer (like me) or maybe you have the Raspberry Pi hidden in a console (again, like me) and it's difficult to plug in your devices.
OK, here is a solution so simple it is unreal.
Plug in that keyboard and mouse for the last time OR SSH to your Raspberry Pi (you do have SSH set up right?), open the terminal and type:
sudo apt-get install xrdp
If you did not SSH in then you will need to run this command also to get the ip address of the Raspberry Pi:
ifconfig eth0
Note the IP address.
For LInux:
Install the following:
sudo apt-get install rdesktop
then run
rdesktop (IP address of your Raspberry Pi)
then at the Login to xrdp:
User name of your Raspberry Pi
Password of your Raspberry Pi
Profit!
Non-Linux:
windoze-
start remote desktop and enter IP address then follow Login to xrdp steps above.
fruit systems-
try installing this: http://cord.sourceforge.net/ and then connect to the Raspberry Pi as above.
Or, you can install tightvnc.

I haven't used that one, is it just as easy to set up?

Easy as PI.
I don't like the raspi with desktop environmdent, it's laggy (more with vnc). ssh ftw!
Overclock it!

For X Window apps, the best way to run is ’ssh -X [email protected]_IP’.
Of course we need an X server running, but I’m a linux user.
You just solved a bit problem for me
Actually two.
1. As I do not have a TV or monitor with HDMI input, I had to use this converter for VGA and the display is crappy. The very first thing I do on such RPi is enabling SSH. But from now on, all I have is SSH. I now have much better to work and mnage my RPi's. COOL !!!!!
2. I was also having an issue with my virtual servers, one of which hosts an install of the Android development tools. So far, I was using NX to connect, but since some version of Ubuntu, I could not start an Android VM remotely. Some missing modules, or configuration. I hated this. I was using NX for a long time now. This xrdp seems to work fine. I installed it on a test machine with Android SDK stuff, and voila !! I can start the virtual Android machine no problem.
Great info !!!!!!!

I have a similar problem, except that I share my monitor with my son and his Raspberry Pi. Both of us are building and programming different robots using the RPi and arduino controllers. So I get very little time at the actual keyboard. I did something similar except I am using tightvnc on the RPI and then Remote Ripple on my Nexus 10 and Kyocera phone and then tightvnc java viewer on my windows laptop (if I ever use it, mostly just a cloud print server) . The Nexus 10 being the main computer I use along with my RPi. Full GUI of my RPi Xwindow or SSH shell account on the RPI. (if you can do it on the RPi, you can do it on your nexus! (except remote raspicam/raspivideo.. not yet available.. it will be though!)).
Several different ways to do this, to each their own... but I wanted my N10 client to be made by the same developer as the VNC server. Tightvnc has a large following, so that is good. I did have to pay $5 for the Android version Remote Ripple (tightvnc android client). But I don't mind supporting the authors of quality software (not forced too.. hear that MS!)
you do feel a lag from being on a wireless network, but it is nice being able to log it anytime from anywhere (not just home wifi, I can also use my PI over the internet!)
