I have a Sipix Pocket Printer A6. Since upgrading to WM2003, I seem to be unable to use it with my XDA via IR. Does anyone have a similar experience and/or solution? Could it be that I need new updated drivers, and if so is there a place I can download them?
As usual, your useful comments are highly appreciated.
i have the same printer, and it works fine!
at first i had the same problem too, not sure how it got fixed...
but make sure IR auto-receive is off.
if that dont work, try pocketprintce.
email me if still cant fix it.
I recently cracked my LCD. Before I invest too much trying to fix it, I would like to determine if anything else is broken.
I am able to remote connect to it using MyMobiler.
Is there a program I can run to diagnose problems?
I have a presentation coming up at the end of this week. I would love to be able to have the video from my kaiser (tilt) broadcast to my projector. Is there any way at all this is possible?
If it isn't, is there a way to capture a session on my tilt and save it as a wmv or something? I know I am stretching here and can do it without this, but it would add some extra pizzaz if I could run it from my phone!
Thanks in advance for all your great work...

you can display the contents of your phone on your computer via My Mobiler, However, attaching a projector to your kaiser is a no-can-do. The kaiser does not have any method of TV-out.
I know theres a few more programs available.
Try searching a bit more on your particular problem as it has been addressed before on these boards.
Thanks. If I can display on my computer then I can hook the projector up to that...I will look in to the program you mention.
Ok I understand that someone has already hacked the device and put a GB emulator on it. What I wonder is if in the future it is possible to hack the device to stream everything you are doing on your computer or phone or tablet? This would make it an insanely good buy for people like myself who would like to display computer content onto a television via wireless connection. Anyone have any idea if this would be possible?

you can already make it stream your entire desktop screen using the Chrome browser extension. As for phone and tablet streaming, give it time.
Hey Guys
First of all: I realize that this is a rather long text, so I appreciate the effort of everyone who is going to read it!
Also, I asked a questions about 2 weeks ago, which was related to this topic, but was very specific about android wear (which I gave up on since then!).
So, actual post:
I want to build, or already am building an informational system for my motorcycle.
As the result of my work, I imagine a display (about 7 inches) in the dash of my motorcycle. It shall display information from my Smartphone (for example notifications about incoming calls etc.) as well as giving me the possibility to control the music on the smartphone (Android 5.1).
Also, I want to display further information, like speed, average speed, altitude etc. (hope you got the idea, basically just an advanced trip computer).
I started developing something, but ran into issues. I will explain my two concepts or ideas I had so far and explain, what the issues were I ran into. I then hope, that somebody here has a solution for my problem (which includes recommending hard- and software).
Firstly about my skills: I am experienced in programming "low level hardware", like Atmel's AVR Series (in plain old C) and developing the associated hardware for it. Also making custom pcb's at home isn't a problem for me, as long it doesn't come to some fancy BGA or SMD packages
On the programming side I am experienced the most in Java (and Android, which is basically Java of course). I know also C# and the .NET framework.
But I am willing to learn something new
The two ideas I had so far differed on the way how I wanted to let the raspberry pi (which I wanted to place in the cockpit) communicate with the smartphone.
In both concepts, I planned to have a raspberry pi with attached display in the cockpit on which I wanted to run a JavaFX application (already started programing). This application would then communicate with the smartphone over:
Idea 1: Java serialization:
I wanted to communicate over command objects. So for example I'd have an object for asking the altitude from the smartphone.
I'd then serialize this command object on the pi's side and deserialize on the smartphone. This isn't a problem, because there's java on either side (already got that piece working).
The smartphone would, after receiving and deserializing the object, get the actual altitude from the GPS sensor, pack the result in an answer-object, serialize it and send it back to the pi.
The issues I ran into were the following:
-Java Bluetooth library: I wasn't able to find a good, up-to-date, java library for communicate over Bluetooth in java. I then stuck to RXTX Library which did the job, but I always had the feeling of doing something "not so good". In particular I didn't want to just write on a COM-Port (which is emulated from the Bluetooth-module), because I had the feeling that COM-Ports may change after reboots if the OS feels like it, and I didn't want to build something which needed constant "tinkering". Also, writing to COM-Ports in 2015 just feels wrong, but this may be my personal problem
Idea 2: HTTP and Web Sockets
The basic idea was to have a webserver running on the smartphone and offering a REST-like API which I could access from the pi.
I also got this concept working, like so:
By using the NanoHTTPD library (from github) I was able to start a webserver on the android device. When then someone issued a POST-request on, for example, <IP>:<port>/api/music/next, the WebServer would receive this request and switch to the next song.
Actualizing data on the pi which changes often, for example the altitude, would have been achieved by using a WebSocket connection between the Java-App on the pi and the android webserver (which I also got to work).
I figured out that it would be a power consumption problem to let the smartphone offer a wifi hotspot (I don't want to have to connect the smartphone to cables on the motorcycle), so I decided to let the pi start a wifi access point (which isn't a power problem, because the pi is connected to on-board-power of the motorcycle).
However I then realized that the smartphone won't connect to an access point which doesn't offer internet access but only LAN-access.
And even if there was a way to force the smartphone to let it connect anyways, it isn't guaranteed that this will work too on future devices. And: The whole notification-stuff would have been needless, because as long as the smartphone is connected to a "dead-end wifi", it wouldn't receive emails or whatsapp-messages.
Idea 3: Using Bluetooth low energy:
It seems like the new, modern way, to let devices communicate over Bluetooth is to use Bluetooth low energy (BLE). (But I never worked with it before!).
However, there seems to be little to no support on raspberry pi for it, and it seems to be impossible to find a library for java which helps in using BLE. (If anyone knows one, please let me know).
I then thought about replacing the raspberry pi with an android board, because android has support for BLE. But I wasn't able to find a board which is supported from android 5.1+ and offers support for BLE. Even the Odroid-boards don't seem to support android >4.4 and BLE.
Summary:
In general I liked the second and third option much better. It seemed to be the the more versatile, modern way. The first way felt a bit like a hack.
However I found those problems I presented above, and until now, I couldn't think of a way around it.
If anyone here:
1) Solved this problem already
2) Knows a really good, NON-HACKY, community supported, Java (BLE) Bluetooth library
3) Knows a language or framework which would be well suited to solve the problem
4) Has another good idea how to solve it
Please let me know!
I just want to build something sophisticated, (which I could maybe make an open source project out of it) which isn't hacky.
I mean, the problem has to be solvable, look at the Pebble smartwatch. They also solved it without android wear.
I really want to emphasise that this is an open question. I am not limited / fixed on Java, Raspberry pi or anything.
I those have two requirements.
1) I don't want to connect the smartphone to a cable, either for data or for power
2) The solution needs to be something power saving, so no hotspot on the android device
3) Non-hacky, sophisticated solution
Best regards
Me =)
PS: As English isn't my native language, I maybe put some sentences wrong or wasn't able to express something clearly and unambiguous.
Please feel free to ask, I'd be pleased to clear any questions!
Any updates?
Hi!
I know this is an old thread, but I'm struggling with a similar issue - except I want to use it for roadcycling. Did you have any luck with your project?
All the best
