Hi Everyone... If you read any of my past posts, you will know I LOVE my Tilt... highyl reccomend it to anyone... My one biggest complaint is when it comes to gaming, the controls suck... I have wlays loved using my phone as a portable video games device using various emulators... All the way from my first Motorola MPX 200 .... I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to use a Wii Mote as a wireless gaming controller... Somehow connect it via bluetooth and use its buttons to control..
I have "cheated" already and done something simmilar using a Bluetooth Keyboard... Worked great, but lugging around a full sized keyboard is a bit much... I can keep a Wiimote in the car (as I already do for when I am at a friends)... The way the screen til on the phone is perfect.. So, basically I jsut need the wiimote to work like a keyboard, and use the Emulators software to map the buttons myself... Any suggestions? Would I need a driver or is there another route?? I am not worried about using the itnternal sensors or anything.. just basic up down left right a b button stuff... The "Cool" factor to get this working would over the top..
Of course, the phone is the Tilt.. I am still using the standard AT&T 6.0 Rom that came on the phone with all the usual tweaks... I use Pocket Nester to emulate the NES... Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
i dont know about the wiimote but if you want to try, activate bluetooth and search for devices, press 1 and 2 on the wiimote. if it asks for a code, try 0000.
otherwise you can buy this device http://zeemote.com/
I'm not sure about winmo, but I know for desktop there are a ton of ways to use the wii-mote, both wired and wirelessly. It would be really cool to use on on the tilt, but I think we would need to create drivers first.

Hey guys, I have a piece of software I use from my laptop that datalogs and flashes OBD-II ECM's. Its a very simple software built into a single executable. The software requires .Net 3.5, which I found "Windows Compact Framework 3.5". Now is there a way to install that, and the openport2 usb drivers for the obdII device onto my touch pro and run the software executable from it?
I would really like to run this off my cell phone since its easier to keep my phone battery alive in a car then it is a laptop. Plus its a lot less crap to lug around. Thanks for any help!
No.
.Net 3.5 is different to .Net Compact Framework 3.5 (the latter is mostly a cut down version of the former, but with the required mobile apis).
You can not install windows drivers on windows mobile.
Your cable would not work as the phone is a usb guest, not host. I understand there are hacks to get it to act as a usb host but driver support is limited.
In short: Its a phone not a laptop, sorry!

can i ask what the program is? ive been looking for something simple to datalog on my obdii car.
This people on http://www.autoenginuity.com/ does have an application for connect their OBD II equipment to a Pocket PC. May be with this aplication someone can help you... http://www.autoenginuity.com/dloads/pocketpc_scantool_install.zip
Good Luck
Looks like in order to get that to work, you'd need to get the adapter that plugs into the odbii port, and then bluetooth adapter (http://www.autoenginuity.com/products-hardware.html) unless you've got a serial cable & adapter... might be worth it, let us know if you decided to set that one up... I'm using my SCT and a netbook to log data currently.
Maybe check this out, I was planning on ordering one, but never really got around to it.

Buy a NETBOOK.
I use it with my VAG-COM all the time.
I'd have to second SH4YD33 on that one, I do the same. VAG-COM on my netbook.
I bought bluetooth interface from ebay (noname) and its working with notebook, even connect to my Nokia 6300, but I have problem to connect it to my Touch Pro. I try OBDGauge 1.1. Any suggestions?
Is there anyway to broadcast the G1 to a tv. I know there a cable OEM HTC TV Out Cable ACT100 and it Compatibility for Dream and My touch 3G. Has anyone use this cable?
I haven't, but I never even considered this... I don't remember seeing anything about tv-out, and sometimes cable manufacturers will claim that it's compatible, when it really isn't. I hate to give you an "I don't know" answer, but I would like to help prevent someone from buying something that is useless to them. If you just go ahead and buy it, remember to post back here and tell us if it works!
Won't work.
I brought the act110 cable and it's not compatible with my g1. I also spoke to the people at t-mobile who informed me that g1 doesn't have the driver compatible with g1. It's a windows based software. I've also downloaded enable tv out cab on g1. Nothing seems to work.the enable tv out cab would more than likely work on a windows mobile phone along with the cable.

I also have the act110 cable, it works out of the box with my Touch pro 2 Winmo phone and I also have a G1 phone. Not only it software incompatible, it also don't have the hardware for TV-out for the G1. The .cab file is a Window mobile .exe equivalent and not Andriod(linux) OS file. Maybe future Andriod phone support it. We hope with mini-hdmi or a 720p and up tv-out.
In order to output to TV, you need to run a vnc server on the android phone, and link up with it using another computer plugged into your TV.
I am trying to use WP connector for mac but its seems to be working oneway from Phone to Mac.
I wonder if anyone knows how can i use it to sync music and photos from mac to phone ?
The following help file from Microsoft contains directions on how to do this:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=203366&clcid=0x409 (PDF)
all you have to do is buy a pc
I did it earlier. I started up the Windows Phone 7 connector and it told me to connect my phone and I did. From there it works almost exactly like iTunes. It will sync any of the playlists you made in iTunes to the phone. Of course if you have no playlists in iTunes... then it might not work.

Well i do have the playlists and it is not even syncing photos as well.
I want to know if there is a way that I can tranfer all my files from a MAC to my phone. I used to plug my HD2 in and it would pop right up like a folder on my desktop. WinPho7 wont do that. I can not download anythign on my work computer, and I use the phone's storage every single day. All I have on my work comp is iTunes and it doens't show up like the iPhone would. This is very disappointing...
Vikramdhani, it won't sync photos if you don't have iPhoto 9 or above. I don't have it and mine won't sync either. So you have to update your iPhoto or wait until Microsoft releases an updated version of the Windows Phone 7 connector (which I'm not even sure will fix the problem, I'm just assuming they'd make it compatible with older versions of iPhoto.)
Jeimygirl, it doesn't work like the HD2. You won't see it on your desktop on your Mac. It works kind of like the iPhone/iPod. It will only show up in the Windows Phone 7 connector program. It works similar to iTunes but it doesn't show up in iTunes. You have to use the Windows Phone 7 connector program in order to sync anything to the phone. Unless someone figures out and releases a workaround.

Thanks. i knew this is how it worked I had an iPhone before, and I can't download anything on the MAC, so I'm pretty SOL. It was my biggest drawback to upgrading to the HD7. Second would be multitasking. But I figured the rest was worth it. i was tired of soft resetting my HD2 2-3 times daily. I'm just hoping the developers come out with an app that can turn the phone into a mass media storage like the HD2 or G1. I used those as my "iPod" in my car thought my stereo too.
Not sure if that's even possible on the HD7 but I would GLADLY pay for this app, and that says a lot for me as I normally never buy apps.

I hope you know that it is not a IOS connector but Mac OS connector seems like it was a hardware or software issue on the phone i had, guess what i returned it back to TMobile
I got the connector working no problem but of course it took forever to drop a couple thousand tracks the first time. My problem is it seems to try and update all 2k tracks when I plug it in attempting to snag a couple of new albums. Is there anyway to make it only capture the new albums and not try and run the stupid slow update all sequence?
Driving me nuts I had it running for almost 45 minutes and it was only 75% complete...FOR 2 fraggin albums I wanted to add...Man I honestly really like the new OS and phone but Microsoft didn't do themselves any favors with this dumb sync system. Let me drag and drop what I want, KISS!!!
(or I am doing it wrong and I am not very bright...which I KNOW is the case more often then not! )
Just got a G1 off of evilbay.
When I connect it to the PC with the usb lead XP says 'device not recognised'.
Any idea whats going wrong and how to fix it?
which winxp version are you using? i never managed to connect my g1 to xp64...
you might need to manually install the usb drivers which come with the android sdk
XP32, SP3.
Got a link for the drivers?
That's a GOOD thing.... protect a good phone from a HORRIBLE virus.
Try linux. No weird drivers needed and no risk of damage.
Can't go on to linux full time, it doesn't support the games I play.
And the XP emulators are not a solution either, unless they have finally started to support 3D graphics?
If that is the only solution maybe I should have gone for a blackberry after all.
Will it work with the Ubuntu live CD?
Or the run from USB drive under XP version?
Make sure you have a good, thick USB cable. My G1 doesn't want to work with the first two USB cables I tried.
That was the first thing I thought of
Tried all 7 of mine, all react the same.
Also tried the project machine, initially found it, then after about 10 seconds came up with the unrecognised device
Are you trying to mount the SD card or use adb/fastboot?
Am trying to get to the SD card.
Found my microSD card reader so can copy stuff over that way now.
Would be nice to connect properly tho.
It's away for a week now, being fixed and rooted
It is my humble opinion that my local phone guy is a genius (and well into android).

Livecd is fine.
Dualboot is better.
Clear the virus is best.
Games? Games are for kids. Hacking is more fun.
Excuse the retards, they run rampant around these parts
Find attached all the drivers you will need, any further help just ask me
And here is a link to get the sdk if you want it...
