Diamond as Tv remote - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

I couldn't find it anywhere on forums here, so I will ask. Is it possible somehow to use our beautiful Diamond as tv remote controler?

no
diamond does not have IR

If you run your TV/cable though WMC, then yes certainly, you should try the application called PPC tablet, works like a charm, easy to setup too, and very moddable too

there also are a lot of similar and, in most cases, much better apps; I've posted a VERY big article in the Wiki on all this; see http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...s for Windows Mobile - the Definitive Roundup

You can use MyMobiler, it's free.
There also are some Outlook-Addons like Jeyo, but this one isn't free...
I use SOTI Pocket Controller. its not free but it will let you do everything you normally do through your phone through the pc with a very nice user interface
petervbeck thank you so much. this is perfect. just like my cell phone was an app on my computer and I can use my mouse and keyboard to control it. texting is simple with it. thanks again.

I believe the latest version is pocket controller pro v6.01. If your not sure wether to get it or not download the trial first. If you like it buy it. what it does over the other apps similar to this is it uses all the softkey option like you would on your Kaiser plus you can setup hotkeys for spacific applications. I find it especially usefull when I have formatted my Kaiser and reinstalling apps. I makes it so much easier to enter the serial codes through the pc keyboard and you can even install apps without touching your phone aslo. replyiong to texts and emails are made easier, running programs work great also

Windows Mobile Equivalent Apps (Equivalent to Symbian S60 V3)

Hello again,
As I mentioned in a previous thread, I’m due to upgrade my handset in the coming weeks from an N95 to the Touch Diamond (MDA Compact 4)... I have some really good apps on the N95 which I rely on a lot. I was wondering if anyone knew of any WM6.1 alternatives to the following apps...
Nokia Internet Radio
http://europe.nokia.com/A4668051
Hundreds of streaming radio stations over WiFi or HSDPA
Shazam ID
http://www.shazam.com/music/portal/page/default/template/pages/p/shazam_id.html
Music track identification - the app records a sample of the track and tells you the name and artist via data connection WiFi or HSDPA.
Nokia Sports Tracker
http://www.nokia.com/A4388200
GPS Tracking of my sports activity (running / cycling etc) routes viewable in google earth via KML file.
Nokia Conversation
http://www.nokia.com/A4568203
View text messages listed by contact as opposed to going to inbox and sent items separately
I've already checked my other key apps:
Shozu
JoikuSpot
Route 66
And they all appear to support HTC devices such as the Cruise and the Kaiser etc, so I should be ok there.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated - not sure if i should of used a different forum for this really.... if a mod feels ti should be moved please go ahead
Garry
1) the original wm 6.1 text messaging shows you both the send and received at the same time and you can also see them while you r typing so you could reply back to the received questions
2) there is also a program for internet radio on the htc, i have used it and it is perfect. it think it is spb radio. check it out
Excellent, thats a good start Thanks!
Anyone have any alternatives to Shazam and Sports Tracker?
Alternative for sportstracker is RUNGPS
Ah sweet! Thanks lappie!!
after some searching i found tthese....theres probably better ones but the results looked promising:

http://thinkabdul.com/2007/06/17/fr...t-album-info-of-recorded-music-clipsongsound/
Another nice Symbian application is Nokia's Lifeblog, overall due to its ability to get synchronised with the PC client... Is there any equivalent in the PPC world?

Ya truly something like Nokia Lifeblog in PPC will be truely appriciated..
New here and also looking into moving off Symbian and over to WM... scary stuff ;-)
We do a lot of geocaching and having Geocache Navigator installed on the N95 is great (when a phone signal is present of course) to find cache's close by or check on cache details without having to take printed pages along. It will also guide you via a compass and bearing to the Lat Long location of the cache...
Any apps specifically for geocacher's that will interact with the geocahce web site / data base ?
cheers
Shazam ID works on Diamond
I have Shazam ID working on the Diamond. One problem.... I have to reset the Diamond each time I use the program. For some reason it will not shutdown properly because it is not made for a touch phone. Maybe someone knows how to use it better???

the version you are using (musidid) looks like absolute crap on the VGA screen. very distorted. Its so sad there is no decent version of shazam on windows mobile - I used to use it all the time.

Thanks for your response. If i install another rom, will i lose all my existing settings/programs/ and contacts?
And also where can I get other roms from? (Sorry to sound stupid, but just like to be double sure).
Thanks in advance!!1
Also no RPD build-in for me!!
Just install thisone, work perfect
Okay I have this installed on my diamond and have a few questions.
Im remoting onto a vista laptop, Im connecting okay.. however no matter what I set in the remote desktop mobile options, I cannot see any mapping for my handheld device to transfer files. Ive tried My Computer, Ive tried Network.. nothing. Why? Any advice?
Secondly, the pocketnow video demonstrating remote desktop mobile being run on the diamond in landscape mode. I see no option for this.. how can it be done?
Thirdly, if you run remote desktop mobile in full screen you seem to lose access to the disconnect button and SIP. Any suggestions?
The CAB file works great for me, but it's not possible to access the telephone's memory through the explorer on the remote machine, like described here: http://www.pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=news&id=5454
So it's not possible to get music from home for example... Does anyone know, why? Of course it's possible to put the requested files into a apache-folder and download it using opera, but thats not the best way.
I didn't see the message from "darthbane2k", but my questions are the same
I'm guessing the CAB file on the previous page is an older version with less features. Parhaps one from WM6, not WM6.1?
+1 for someone who would like the cab file for the latest-and-greatest Remote Desktop client for WM6.1
..am currently looking at two Diamonds (my now TLR2-based test unit and my 1.37.401.3-based stock production unit) and neither have it installed, however I do vaguely remember seeing it a while back on he test unit which originally was a HK import and thus old ROM. Guessing now removed (in some markets at least)?
Cheers.
Nope.. I definately have the new version as the allow device mapping is in the options. Even when ticked, I still cannot see my mapped device when connecting to a remote computer (Vista home premium)
It works fine on my diamond, both within the LAN as well as per 3G. However is there a possibility to get keyboard to be able to enter things as well?

Yup, it's plain WM6, not 6.1.
WM6.1 RDP
It did not work for me either.
So I started a petition on this blog http://max.zamorsky.name/2008/11/04...bile-into-touch-diamond-and-all-current-roms/ to collect comments as a means to persuade HTC and Microsoft to include RDP in every ROM by default.
They seem to misunderstand who their lead-users are...
Please comment to help me make our lives easier.

sorry, posted it on the move (while walking out with friends), from a Tablet PC, using text recognition and a non-unlimited Internet connection - couldn't look up the URL's.
(I post quite a lot while on the move from either my Tablet PC or my Blackberry)
Thank you for the articles. I have a feeling however that none of the applications presented work on Vista...

Webcamera Plus will work - at least the camera part, not the mike, under the x64 version. (see http://www.ateksoft.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=1412 ). Not that you'd lose much with the absence of sound (it's pretty low-quality - see my remarks in the article) - as long as your notebook / desktop doesn't have a mike, that is.
Thank you, I'll try it.
EDIT: Tried - can't get it to work on Vista 32. Programs runs but won't connect to the phone camera. Oh well...
Hi !
I just bought WebCameraPlus (15 euros).
Unfortunately, even though when installing on my PC I am asked if I also want to install it on my smartphone (I have an HTC TOUCH DIAMOND), the software only ends up being installed on the PC, NOT on the smartphone.
Any help will be heartily appreciated, thanks in advance !
go in c:/program files/WebCam plus/ you will find the cab to install in your phone
WebCamera Plus seems interesting, but your friend also has to use WebCamera Plus to see you!. i though you could video chat with your phone front cam with your friend that is using official MSN,yahoo or ichat

[Q] Touch Pro as a webserver?

Since my old touch pro phone only can be controlled with the keyboard i was wondering if i could make a small webserver with it.
If possible i would also use the camera on the phone as a security cam. wich can be viewed from the webserver.
I know it works on linux but i don`t know if linux wil run in that way on the phone
By Linux on the phone I assume you're referring to Android. Last I checked there were no camera drivers for Android on the Touch Pro.
However, a quick Google and I've found http://www.ateksoft.com/ for WinMo. I have no idea how good it is as I've never used it myself and it's not a free product, but it might be something to check out.
If you do try it out post back and let us know what it's like.
you mean it works with linux?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=640785
ubuntu (rhobuntu) for your touch pro
now have fun with it and tell us, if it works

i've used rhobuntu before
its great and definitely works
webserver should work too, but donno if it will work well given the speed of the device...
I use FtpCE. It's a very cool and very simple ftp client. Just search for it, there's a thread at xda. You can try VIO for the security camera.
server
This is good idea
there is a small webserver with a subset of php too for windows mobile.
http://mobileleap.net/hph/
it is just a little bit old.
