'tv remote controller' Help

I have read some topics suggesting that the 'tv remote controller' programme works well with this device. I tried instaling it but couldnt get it to learn the controls from my tv remote. I selected the button i wanted it to learn and pushed the button on the remote as instructed (close to the infra red sensor) but it did not learn the control.
Does anyone know why this is????

The hardware isn't compatible with "normal" remote controls for your television etc.
It's only functional for IRDA datatransmition.
You need special hardware for this.
Cheers,
Drifter

I think the hardware is compatible with TVs, just not with the current remote control programs. I read on several of these program manufacturers websites that they are working on a proper driver for the wizards IR. Nothing available yet though. its also a low power IR, so you'd have to be within about 3 feet from the TV for it to work anyway.

why not use the remote that comes with your tv etc :lol:
I've only found the remote program useful when in school lessons, i used to keep turning the tvs on and off..and pause video tapes

what is the name of the software that shoud be compatible with Wizard ?

From what I understand the Remote control programs work however the Ir signal isn't strong enough to reach your TV unless you are right in front of it....

i found an application that claims to be compatable with many new devices..one of them being the phone i have cingular 8125.
here u go:

[Alpha] PPC-RC (need some help too ;))

Alright, So I have this Universal, and I love it. Then one day, I figured that it shows a certain resemblance to something else...

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
See the resemblance?
A keyboard?
Two extra keys?
A touch-pad/touch-screen?
So I figured, why am I still ****ing with this media center keyboard and it's silly joystick-for-mouse thing? I got a full fledged remote control as a phone!
After two days and a lot of stupid windowing and socket coding later, I had a semi working app
I've attached it here. It's still alpha, so only download if you want to test, it's not ready for real usage yet
What it does at this point? You can move the mouse, but it will be pretty jerky, and you can type
What is still to do?
- Proper protocol, not some dumb-ass dynamic package size ****
- Soft keys -> mouse buttons
- Proper server application, system tray icon and all
- Password protection
- Some more neat features
- Maybe some features people recommend
How does it work? run PPCRCServerTest.exe on your PC, and run PPCRCClient.exe on your device. tap the screen, enter IP or hostname (for some reason hostnames only seem to look up if connected through activesync...), and hit connect. Once it says "Connected", start typing and moving touching your screen
Also, please note that for some reason WiFi seems to be faster than ActiveSync. I have no idea why, but it just does... odd uh?
So what do I need back in return?
- Feedback
- How on EARTH to know when a soft-key is pressed and released
That's pretty much it
Remember, just a little preview, not ready for real use yet!
Bye,
TB

Hi TheBlasphemer.
I don't have a uni, but your app still sounds pretty neat.
Here's something that might help you alone (if you haven't found it yourself yet):
There is a function called SetWindowsHookEx. I haven't played with it much, but I know it lets you hook the keyboard (all of it) and handle all key events up / down. If I am not mistaken it returns the address of the previous function so you can delegate the keys you don't want to handle back to the system. Kind of like window subclassing.
Now all you need is some debug prints to figure out what VK codes respond to the soft keys and you are done.
Good luck!

Actually as my window is the top window, I already receive all key events through WM_KEYDOWN and WM_KEYUP, so there's no need for windows hooks and stuff
I have looked into what happens when someone presses a softkey, but I only seem to get two weird keyup events when I release it :S (VK 112+16 and VK 113 + 16). I could use these, but as I could only see when they're clicked, I would only be able to do mouse clicks, not dragging
Btw, it should also work on other PPCs, like the wizard

Hi
Just tried on my BA WM5. It connects (it says connected on the PC server) then it closes the connection immediatelly for a reason. But this looks like a promising app so I'll keep on tracking it...
P.S: Do you plan to release the source code? (I'm a beginner programmer, examples are always good )

Terminal Server Client for 2003

Hi,
Is it possible to get an update for the Terminal Server Client so it can run on the Windows Server 2003.
/Jesper

You mean have W2K3 accessed via your HTC Universal? AFIAK it's always been possible. Indeed, I've been doing that since I bought my MDA Pro in the week of the UK launch about a year ago

You only need to adjust the settings on the Server to allow the Client Compatible enryption level as the WM2003/WM5 TS client does not support 128 bit encryption.
If want a good experience search out VJFSTSC from this site
(VJ's Full screen Terminal Server Client). A full 640x480 screen makes the Exec an excellent tool to administer servers without needing to cart a laptop around

I didn't think anyone was still using it! I'll have to update it when I get a few spare minutes!

yes i'm using it and have run into problems
somehow when i use full screen mode (it took ages to figure out i had to disable "limit server size to fit screen", if it was enabled your full screen hack didn't work), the last line at the bottom will not respond, i.e the taskbar, anything on it, and the start button. if i don't use your hack, no problems. (but no full screen either )
a friend's qtek 9000 doesn't have this problem with your hack.
do you have any ideas? :idea: thanks..

cmonex: you need to post in the VJFSTSC thread, but this was a bug with an earlier version, that should have been fixed in the latest version. I haven't worked on it for months and months due a perversly busy schedule, but I'll try to look into it further. It still needs lots of work.

I'm using it for some time now,..and it works GREAT! especially running in VGA mode...
thanx!
arjan

FYI all, there has been a post that you can use a virtual screen manager with VJFSTSC to get >VGA screen resolutions, eg SVGA. It'll look quite crap, but it should work... but I think opening word (and Vista?) on your Universal is a cool way to make a gadget freak's mouth water.

i think i'm using the latest version or at least the one that was the latest a couple of weeks ago. :shock: but i'll recheck..thanks

YES PLEASE
I've found your little app to be one of the most useful apps for the Exec.
1024x768 shrunk to fit the screen is terrible but using a 800 x 600 @ 100% screen and virtual display's navigational options to scroll around has proved to be usefull from time to time.
When you get some time to update VJFSTSC I'd be glad to put forward a few suggestions but something that would be neat would be an ability to map a couple of buttons to CTRL & ALT but only whilst VJFSTSC is running

yes ctrl+alt would be very useful.

cant find any thread VJFSTSC. please give me a direct link to it.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33759&highlight=vjfullscreen
What do you guys mean about the ctrl+alt key combos? Give me an example.
V

As certain keys such as <CTRL> , <ALT> and maybe <Esc> are not found on the Exec but are used quite a bit on Windows it would be really usefull if these keys could be mapped to some of the physical keys such as the E-mail, Home Page, Contacts, Phone but only when VJFSTSC is active. Normally these buttons are assigned to their own functions but this behavior is overridden whilst VJFSTSC is active.
This could be taken a small step further by assigning the Windows key to open the START menu on the windows PC instead of the Exec and possibly using the Ok key to bring up a configuration menu in VJFSTSC with a few other options including the ability to save a config file so any settings such as show/hide SIP are retained the next time VJFSTSC is launched.
I better stop there, as I was intending to give an example of mapping options not a full blown wishlist

thanks, vijay555.
nice ideas, Taz69... would be real cool.

definately trying this when i get home great work

Very cool, trying now Thanks!!!!

OMG!!! I wish I was not a student and had money to donate... This app is P E R F E C T!
THANKS A LOT!!!!
e.g. I tried it via Wi-Fi. Is it working with bluetooth?

well, it's working GREAT on my polaris... it reacts amazingly fast and is built very well.
some suggestions:
1. Add DPad support for media playing...
2. Add direct bluetooth connection instead of areal network.
3. Add timeline in media player to see progression of current track (and to go thru it)
4. Add support for winamp maybe..
i suggest you take a look at this app. i've been using it for quite a while now and it's very very useful.. doesn't react as well as yours and doesn't have as many options.. but it's usefulness is very noticable.. and it's bluetooth integration is important.

thank you so much. this is wonderful

this program is absolutely incredible. ive been looking for something like this for a looong time to control my carpc with. Kudos man, ur a god. I was just wondering if its possible to add like a play list for the media control maybe? maybe it can refer to the media program thats open or have a plugin for say itunes or windows media player and it shows you whichever songs are on the current playlist? just a thought

Dear MarBalon,
I want to just say that is is a great program. I got it working over bluetooh on my laptop and it has greatly helped with presentations and alot more. Please keepu p hte good work. I did have one question. I have a titan so I can't use the mouse feature, only the touchpad. For the keyboard page is there a way you can just make a full on screen keyboard?
Thanks,
Keep up hte Good work - JukEboX

[APP][WM6.5] Magnifier setup (24th Aug) - beta

[APP][WM6.5] Magnifier Configurator (24th Aug) - beta
Hello,
since I'm about to develop WM application, I wanted to get into WM restrictions for C#.
So there the app is - it lets you setup Magnifier (setting timeouts, enabling "features", ..) plus adding/deleting apps in which will be Magnifier disabled.
It was built for QVGA on WM6.5 build 23034 CSY, but it should run on all resolutions.
It needs .NET compact framework!
Screenshots:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Just copy it to your device (anywhere) and run the .exe.
It is early beta version, it will probably fail to set some parameters properly (converting from bool to dword is the biggest problem), so when you find something, tell me. Thanks.
Also, some settings (I've done it from registry, I hope I got all options named correctly) might not work as expected, but that must fix MS in WM itself (like Ellipse option).
Current version: Magnifier_beta2.zip
Old versions
Magnifier_beta.zip - missing SIP and menu icons

Known options:
Enabled - enables/disables whole magnifier
Bilinear -
Elipse - currently buggy when enabled, not sure what it is supposed to do
Show crosshair - shows (or does not) crosshair when opened
Use High Fidelity - when you open magnifier and then try to move it to somewhere else, it still shows the original position, you must wait till it closes to show different place
Resize For High Fidelity -
Crosshair Length - Length of Crosshair
Crosshair Thickness - Thickness of Crosshair
Doubletap Distance - Max distance between taps to open magnifier
Doubletap Time - Maximum time it will wait for "doubletap" to open magnifier
Deactivate Delay - time before it starts disappearing
Fade Duration - Time how long it will take to disappear completely
Height -
Max Window Size -
Width -
The free ones are still waiting to investigate.
If you think that one of these is incorrect, post me that and I'll fix it.

-- reserved one more (no more needed, thanks)

Ooh. Nice tool
This looks very useful.
Thanks!

I guess that some settings might not work (like staying (un)checked) so just tell me (I always write Elipse instead of Ellipse and always search for this mistake half an hour ).
PS: You must reboot after saving changes to getting it to work of course.

Very excited about this could relieve alot of issues with my tap response in opera and such!!! Thank you for this!!!!

Well.This is great however I have a major issue. No SIP so I can't type anything in. I'm trying this on my Omnia which is 240X400 and the bottom bar is completly covered and I don't have a hard keyboard.

I totally forgot adding SIP since I have HW keyboard, sorry, I'll fix it ASAP.

Added to first post with added MainMenu control (Start button, X/OK and SIP) - Magnifier_beta2.zip

great job ondraster will test it later and let you know how it works.

Hey thanks for the great tool. I was in need of this...
Best Regards

Thanks. Good!!!

Thanks man! useful app.
have to ask though, how did you get those nice icons for the new bottom taskbar as in the screenshot?

I'm creating new WM theme for myself, you can get them on internet, resize them to 16x16px (PNG) and then name them as <themename>_bubble_flag.png and _bubble_ok.png and _bubble_foo.png if I remember right (I'm not at home at this moment, sorry).

There is something i can do?
