[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Chieftar:
Hi,

First, thank you for coding this great app! It is possibly the most useful thing that I have ever used!

Unfortunately I am experiencing a problem with your Gremote 0.5.2 program: I have installed it on my HD2, along with the 3.5 .NET compact framework, with the app launching normally. I also have the 0.5.2 server program installed on my PC running Vista 32bit and have opened the relevant ports in my Firewall.

If I then try to connect from my phone to my PC through Gremote, the server program recognises the connection momentarily, but then cuts out. In the "status" section of the server program, the "Receive frame count" number goes up for a brief period, and on my phone I can access the profile menu (where I can select keyboard, touchpad etc). When i try to actually use the touchpad or keyboard the computer does not recognise the input (my mouse doesn't move/no characters are entered) but the "receive frame count" figure goes up further. Within a few seconds my phone then loses connection to my PC ("Error Connection timeout!!!" appears). The "logs" section of Gremoteserver lists "Client 0 logged out" when this timeout occurs. There are no other entries in the "logs" section. After I restarted both my HD2 and PC, the serve program no longer records any received connection attempts in the logs section nor any "received frame count".

I am connecting via wi-fi in my home and have tried all of the necessary steps with my PC's firewall switched off; it made no difference and I experienced the same problems.

The strangest thing is that when I tried your Gremote Pro, it worked perfectly in terms of connecting/moving my mouse about. With the Pro version I was able to easily connect via bluetooth. I know the simple solution would be to simply buy the full version but I have one reservation: GRemote Pro did not work in the right resolution, giving an error (“To many applets in skin, out of memory, please restart application.”), while the free version at least launches (but does not yet connect!).

I hope your able to help me with this rather odd problem,

Thanks,

Chieftar
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] hshah:
Is there a fix for this?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] marbalon:
Hmm this is strange. Did you try to test is over Active Sync ? GRemote need to comunicate in two directions PDA to PC and PC to PDA so if you open your firewall you need to allow incomming and outgoing communication. But If it is stop working at all I have no idea...

Could you tell me when you get this error. HD2 have a lot of ram and shouldn't have a problem with memory... I've personally have HD2 for testing and have no problems with this message. Please tell me more about phone configuration. What ROM and software installed set. Please try to restart device and try Pro version again. Maybe something "eat" your memory....

Regards,

Marcin.

Bug report

Hi Marbalon,

Thanks for ur awesome application!

But now I am experiencing the "you don't have paired devices" issue.

I've installed Gremote pro 1.5.0.82 on my Dell Studio Hybrid 140g(vista) and 1.5.0.25 on my desire(rooted stock 2.2 rom).

Before yesterday, the application worked well, though I can't use the fixed IP address. But tonight I got "time out" when I tried to connected to the server, and "you don't have paired devices..." when I tried to do a "find". I've tried to shut down the firewall of PC but nothing changed. I've opened the log file, and just found several same lines: "search query from **.**.**.**"."

Pls give me some help, Thanks!

Regards

R.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] marbalon:
Generally "you don't have paired devices" message indicates that you should pair your device over bluetooth first (but only if you want to use it over bluetooth)- just using android settings menu. When you try to find computers in profiles menu you get any results? If yes, please try to remove old profiles and add new one. it is recommended to use auto IP profile but if you have a problem with firewall please try to use fixed IP profile or bluetooth.

BTW. I've just start codding all keyboard support so everyone can enter language specific charters like ĄŻĆŁŚĄ for polish keyboard or symbols etc. If someone want to help me with tests please contact me I will send you beta when it will be available.

Cheers,

Marcin.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] road2002:
I had removed all old profiles before I did the "find" , but still found nothing however it worked very well before yesterday. And it's very strange that some same lines "search query from ..." were generated in PC's log file when I did the finding.

FYI I have shut down my firewall.

I can do the test for the all keyboard support version.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] marbalon:
Logs in GRemote means that server receive frames, but if you don't get any results that means PDA don't receive any frames. I've personaly had the same issue and it was related with my router.

If you could please set fixed IP for you PC network adapter, then add the profile in GRemote with the same IP address. This should works, please tell me if not.

Regards,

Marcin.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] road2002:
It still dose not work and I have tried 1. fixed IP for PC 2. an other router 3. latest RUU for my phone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] marbalon:
We can try to find solution for this using Wireshark software. This software allows you domp network traffic so we will see GRemote frames if PC receive it, and will see where GRemote server send packets.

Please download this software and try to dump packets and send me *.cap file to info at gbmsoftware.com

Regards,

Marcin.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] road2002:
After tests, I think the ad-hoc patch caused the "find" issue.

But ad-hoc is also very useful and I can't leave it, is there any chance that you can let them work together?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] xshunin:
So, I purchased the software and it's working awesomely awesome! Great work.

But I wanted to try it via 3G so I don't have to turn on WLAN on my device. But I can't connect to my PC. I forwarded 5656 on my router and on my Windows Firewall. Router firewall is disabled. I am using a dyndns account. Any hints what I could try to make it work?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] marbalon:
Did you forward TCP and UDP 5656 port?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] xshunin:
As I said in my post: I forwarded 5656 on my router and on my Windows Firewall. Since my Zyxel Router doesn't let me choose between TCP and UDP, I suppose it's both, since all my other port forwardings are working properly.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] marbalon:
When you try to connect you see and logs in GRemoteServer?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] xshunin:
No. Only if I connect via WLAN.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] marbalon:
I found one trick to use GRemote over WiFi without WiFi router. Most modern Android devices and some Windows Mobile can works as router. So enable router option in your device and connect your device and just use GRemote. In GRemote client please unckeck option in Preferences->App wifi managment

Maybe it is useful for someone who want to use it without routers.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] marbalon:
So this can be a problem with redirection. You can also try to use Wireshark to check network packets but if you don't see any logs I'm almost sure that PC don't receive any frames from PDA over 3G.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] marbalon:
Beta version ready!

Hi everyone,

I've just finished beta version with all keyboard support (Polish, Deutsh, etc). Now you should be able enter every symbol/letter (if your physical keyboard can do this). If you want to try new version please contact me using this e-mil info at gbmsoftware.com and write what language you will test and what OS do you have on your device Android or WM.

in this release another thing is working - automatic word completion.

Feel free to write me and I will send you new beta version. I will try to send this version to first 10-20 people.

Cheers,

Marcin.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] road2002:
I have tried to uncheck the option but still failure. I can wake up my PC but still can not connect to server after windows started.

I do not use my phone as a router. I use a normal router at home and need my phone to connect to a ad-hoc network at work.

For ad-hoc is not supported by android, devs from XDA wrote a patch file to enable it.

The patch file works well for all apps except Gremote, and I have tried other apps such as Unifiled Remote, it also works well.

But I really like features of Gremote and I have paid, so if possible pls let it work.

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] marbalon:
I will try to apply this patch and check where is the problem. Regards,

problem

I welcome gremote pro1.4 program, and a small problem to say the program works when connected to a cable and synchronize as

and when connecting to BT as it's not working gremote because I do not know someone searches for PC what can you do?

please respond quickly

I have done because it is not working

my hardware is HTC Diamond
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] rocker2344:
do you have server software for linux for the pro version

or

do you have a non-pro version for android?

either will work. (if you want the cash point me in the way of a pro version linux server)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] marbalon:
First pair your PDA with PC, then go to gremote application and try to find computers. you should get some results and one of them should be with BT.

Please write what bluetooth stack do you have, and paste logs from gremote server (Menu->Action->Show logs) just after restart.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] marbalon:
There is not free version for android but we have some plans and first made some steps to build cross platform server (Linux,Mac,Window), but this can take long time to code because we want to code more useful options when we recode everything.

New version released...

New version 1.5.5 released - added support for more keyboard layouts, skin support goes to Android version

Last week release of GRemotePro brought some new functionality and some bug fixes described below:

support for more keybard languages and symbols - since now, GRemotePro has been allowing user to type only latin characters and a few symbols, now you are able type more. If your keyboard layout is similar to English but you have several extra letters (like in Polish, German, Swedish etc.) you should be able to type them with GRemotePro. Most symbols should work too. There is only one limitation - you can type only this character/symbol which you are able to type using a physical keyboard. Starting from this release, you can also use build-in software keyboard dictionary.

skin support for Android phones - until now, only Windows users have been able to create custom skins, now all Android users can do the same. Skins should be placed in /sdcard/Android/data/com.gbmsoftware.gremotepro2/skins/ folder. We are going to create a new functionality related to skin support - skin database available from the phone, so user can browse it and change it without touching PC. Please follow our future releases to find this function.

support for Xperia phones - from now on, Xperia users with Android 2.1 and higher can see this release in the Android Market

'client connected' and 'disconnected' event - some users want to do something every time they connect or disconnect the server. So now you can define a custom action for such events. Just add new command in GRemoteServer and assign this command to the event, that connects or disconnects (right click on this command, and select option "Assign special event->Client connected" from context menu)

faster files/tracks list loading - this fix is important for users who use fixed IP profiles. In this profiles, tracks or files were loaded too slow. Now it is faster and more usable.

So enjoy with this release and write to usThis e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it if you have any problems or question.

It seems this update is mostly for Android users. Is there any benefit to me upgrading? My specs are listed below.

Device OS version - WM6.5.3

PC OS version - Windows 7 Pro x64

Network encryption - WPA2

Frequency - 2.4GHz 802.11g

If I should provide more information, please let me know. This was all I could think of to provide offhand.

Anxiously waiting for WMP playlist option.. only thing stopping me from buying this!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] marbalon:
Hi!

This function/fixes goes to WM and Android so if you need this you should upgrade.

support for more keybard languages and symbols

'client connected' and 'disconnected' event

faster files/tracks list loading

Btw. sometimes we fix something and forget to add to changelog - so it is worth to upgrade always ;)

Regards,

Marcin.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] cajunflavoredbob:
There is a small typo in the WM program. Once you tap "Connect," it takes you to the main screen with a text box in the middle saying to "Connecting (15)... (tap to calcel)." This should be corrected to cancel instead.

I am also having some connection issues with this new version. I have sent an e-mail from the website with details.

Hi all. I want to check GRemote, but when i install it, small tray icon is displayed on tray area. But, it's not clickable. When i click on it, nothing happends :-( I'm really sad, i've tried on my brother's PC and there's go fine. Any suggestions ?

Do you know about some services, that need to be running ? I have no firewall blocking this app or other antivirus, which can cause this problem.

PS: Sry for my english.

Please help, please.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] marbalon:
Hi,

I heard about this problem for few people but don't know why. Could you tell me what other software do you have in tray? Please describe your system: what OS do you have etc. Please try to close all software from try and then try to run GRemote again.

Regards,

Marcin.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] cajunflavoredbob:
Android GRemote

The Android version of the device client seems a bit more jumpy than the Windows Mobile version, though. I mean that the mouse cursor on screen jumps around a bit, while the Windows Mobile version is very smooth. This is over the exact same connection with the same mobile device and laptop.

Also, is it possible to use this software with GOM Player? This is the standard media player I use. I prefer not to use WinAmp anymore as it is too heavy an app (uses too much memory).

I have Windows 7 x64 Professional installed, and in tray i have no running app. Yes i'm from old school geeks :D .... only one application running is my MSI System Control Manager (because without it i can't use multimedial buttons on my notebook). And i have no firewall or antivirus which can block GREMOTE. So i don't know where is the problem :mad:

EDIT: Did Gremote need any other software on my PC installed ? .NET framework ? I have 3.5...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] alienclone:
you have to RIGHT click on the icon and it should bring up "Settings" and "Exit"
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] marbalon:
No, GRemote don't need any extra software, but if you open task manager and find process gremoteserver.exe. Does it use CPU or just sleep ? Could you uninstall it and install again without joystick extension ?

Please send me pm to info <at> gbmsoftware.com. I will try to send you debug version with some extra logs...

Regards,

Marcin.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Hlavson:
To alienclone: I know, but when i click, nothing happends. No poppup window is displayed. It doesn't react.

Works great !! I only have to disable bluetooth service (after first run, kill GRemote.exe) and than message with disable option will appear ;-) And than runs like a charm :-)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] painy:
Hey.

First of all I'd like to say that Gremote is a wonderful app. I use it all the time!

I have a question though.

Is there any way I can use Gremote to send custom UDP commands (or some other way to control external programs, but not hotkeys)? I believe this option would greatly expand Gremotes customisability.

Kind regards

hi,just tested GRemote Pro v1.5.9, still no fix for the BT issue on hd2?

I also have a problem with the touchpad, it's too much sensitive, a minimum pressure on screen cause the pointer to jump on the screen edge , almost not usable.

I previously tested v1.4 and don't remember it had this behaviour
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Hakim Rahman:
why do not you try to apply this hotfix to correct these ISSUE ?? :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jjollyroger:
Hi ,I don't understand what's the relationship, it's an outdated fix for another phone, my BT has no need for any fix (Artemis ROM has all latest htc fixes and system updates), it's Gremote that enables BT also if I don't use it and let it on after the app it's closed
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] max_82:
can not connect my captivate over bluetooth. wifi is ok.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] marbalon:
Yest it enables BT when you try to find new PC, but if you just want to connect and don't go to the setting it should touch BT. I have HD2 device too and all WM test was made using this device...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] marbalon:
Can you tell me more about the problem... You can find any Pc using BT, or you can't connect. did you pair your device with PC first? What server shows on the status bar: bluetooth service enabled or disabled?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] max_82:
I can't find any pc using BT. I've paired my phone with pc. The status bar on server is bluetooth service enable.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jjollyroger:
hi, at this moment I uninstalled gremote, I will test again as soon as possible, but I remember the BT was activated as soon as gremote started, without going to setting to search a PC

UDP 5656 enabled, firewall turned off, still "connection timeout"?

Hi, the very first time i installed GRemote it worked for a couple of seconds, then stopped, and has not worked since. I have allowed incoming and outgoing packets on the UDP 5656 port (with Norton) to no avail. I have even shut down the entire firewall but this did not work either.

I am running Windows XP 32-bit.

Any suggestions?:confused:

It would be really nice if any of you could help me as I'd really like to use this application with my linux laptop.
