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 may be completely off my rocker here but is there a way to use the Bluetooth or IR on my wizard to control lets say... windows media player on my computer? Or change channels on a tv?
Are there any programs out there that are written for this kind of application? Thanks for the help in advance.
I have an old PDA iPAQ with no phone capability but it had an app
called NEVO which controlled anything IR like TVs and DVD players
but I've not seen anything yet on an xda.
I'll keep my eyes open.
Call for Wizard IR Remote software!
You might be thinking of NoviiRemote from Novii http://novii.tv
So far their product does not support the Wizard despite repeated attempts (from multiple wizard owners) to get an idea of when it will... they keep saying "they're working on it" but have been saying that since Oct. 2005.
FWIW, I've tested the following competing "universal remote" applications and couldn't get any to work on the Wizard:
- Vivo Remote
- Universal RemoteCE
- UltraMote
- Total Remote (locked the Wizard... had to remove battery)
- Remote Control II (big time failure, couldn't find images)
- TV remote controller (says no Wizard support on homepage)
- NoviiRemote =(
Each were installed to Storage Card (1 at a time). All of them didn't seem find the IR hardware, with error codes varying from non-existent to not even running / crashing. Nearly all the apps would not uninstall cleanly (running WM5 v1.6.8 WWE) had to manually remove.
Clearly there is an opportunity for someone here... there is no competition on Wizards, all this someone has to do is support the OMAP hardware and Wizard users will come running.
Any takers? =)
No he's thinking of NEVO (http://www.mynevo.com/), I too have NEVO bundled on my HP IPaq RX3715 and it's a very slick program, it used to be that you could only get it bundled but I believe they're starting to sell it as a stand alone product now.
The problem with this remote software is that to use it effectively you have to make sure that the IR type built into your device is cIR rather than the more common sIR etc as they have pretty drastic differences in their ranges. So you can get software but if you have sIR then you'll need to be on top of the TV to change the channel.

Try www.logmein.com for free remote desktop software to remote controll your entire PC with your pocketPC
there is a beta version of novii remote that works on the wizard, its available in there forum.
range is over 2 meters which isn't too bad. i'll post a link if I can find it

edit: heres the link http://www.novii.tv/up/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2667
Yes Novii does indeed work but dont expect the same kind of response as an ipaq. They are fitted with commercial grade ir which works more like a normal remote. The wizard ir has to be lined up directly with the ir receiver.
Its much quicker to get up and change the channel :lol:
true but it is fun to turn the sound up on tv's on display in shop windows or inside stores

What software do you use on your PC to recieve the IR signal?
i'm currently testing this
hxxp://www.salling.com/Clicker/windows/
it supports WiFi & Bluetooth, and works on PC & MAC. it works great on my HP i6315 over Bluetooth and WiFi as stated on the website, but i did not get to test it my GF's Wizard yet...

Which of the services do you use? They offer a few of them and they aren't free.
Do you use this software to control your pc for functions like play and pause your windows media player or winamp? thanks
I found something here... i dont know how well it works...

I know Salling Clicker works great on my Treo. Have not purchased it for Windows Mobile 5 yet. Still I would give it a try. Via bluetooth it controls your medai player, itunes, power point and lets your PDA function as track pad.

I've been lookng for something similar too. Here's the ultimate program for just that. I've used it before for my Palm 650 and didn't realize they made it for PPC as well.
I've just made buttons for WMP and it works like a charm. Connects through IR, Serial port, or WIFI so there's no distance problem. Pebbles program lets you control your computer or programs running on your computer. Try it out, its free and probably one of the best programs that you can configure everything on your own!

As wilesd mentioned, there is a free version, you just have to hunt for it. I use LogMeIn remote, and paid $1000 for 25 clients, but that's less than half the price of the best price I was quoted for GoToMyPC for an equivalent set of user licenses. GoToMyPC is the only other GUI software I found that works, but the WM5 version of LogMeIn is faster than GoToMyPC.
You could easily control WMP or winamp remotely, although logging in to do so will take a few minutes. I'm not sure if this is a solution that would work for you, as it is an IP-based solution... not exactly the kind of 'remote' in which you seem interested.
remoteamp
i use remoteamp, its a nice prog and it controlls Winamp and Media player via Wifi. and you can see al the files on you PDA for scrolling and so.
good app.
Does anyone know of a way to use your wing as a tv remote? possible? and also can i use my data plan internet connection to use remote desktop? can you point me in the direction of a tutorial maybe?
i have been wondering the same thing, it would be awesome if there was a program to use your wing as a universial remote, i know that there is a program for psp
well the wing doesn't have an infrared port, so I'm pretty sure it wont work with some type of adapter *cries*
I can confirm. Because the Wing/Herald/Atlas has no IR port, it can't be used as a tv remote.
I suppose if you had a media center you could issue commands over like wifi or something. I know there are like vnc programs for ppc, and you can use it as a mouse.

Wow dude...congrats....I think you post more than anyone on here!
Well, how sophisticated do you want to make things? Check out LinuxMCE.com... The possibilities are endless...
i suppose you could patch it through ip or something, but that gets complicated enough that you might as well just reach for the remote
dougstoner- i'm the tech support in herald section just because i'm good at it but because i'm always on.
Hi, Do anyone knows if there is a universal remote control app who uses the infrared on our folio's. I want to control the tv ect with it. But can't find anything other then totalcontrol who is in developement for over a half year.

As I answered in the FolioMod thread this is probably not possible since the IR eye is used to recieve IR signals and cannot send them. You can read some more in this thread.
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.
