Netcat is known as the Swiss Army Knife of Networking. A version of Netcat for Windows CE (WinMo) exists at the URL below, but has anyone gotten this to work on a modern Windows Mobile device? When I run it I get the "Cmd line:" screen but as soon as I enter anything on the keyboard I get "No Ports To Connect To"

http://prt.fernuni-hagen.de/~bischoff/wince/netcat-wince-arm-pocket-wce300.zip

Has anyone tried Netcat on a Windows Mobile 5 or 6 device?

UPDATE: December 2009: Got NetCat working on Windows Mobile 6.1 by installing a Command Prompt by following instructions at the following URLL http://dalelane.co.uk/blog/?p=122

In case the website disappears, here is the web site text by someone named Dale Lane:

Getting Command Shell working on Windows Mobile 5

Microsoft provide a command shell for Windows Mobile as a part of their Developer Power Tools package.

I fancied giving it a try tonight (for no particular reason other than that I like using the command line, and my phone has a full QWERTY keyboard) so followed the instructions to install it.

No luck – it didn’t work. No errors, it just didn’t work – nothing happened.

It took a bit of playing around with, but I’ve managed to get it running…

It needed a registry hack:

set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Console\OutputTo to 0.

I did it with a quick bit of code:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Text;

using Microsoft.Win32;

namespace RegistryAccess

{

class Program

{

static void Main(string[] args)

{

RegistryKey baseKey = Registry.LocalMachine;

RegistryKey driversKey = baseKey.OpenSubKey("Drivers", true);

RegistryKey consoleKey = driversKey.OpenSubKey("Console", true);

consoleKey.SetValue("OutputTo", 0);

}

}

}

but if you have a registry editor, you can do it with that. (I’m short of space on my phone at the moment, so have uninstalled every non-essential app, including my registry editor.)

Then after a reboot, the command shell seems to be working.

The only downside is that it doesn’t seem to realise it’s running on a VGA screen, so the text is really small. But still… I have a command line now – yay! :-)

Update: My first mobile command-line app was a port of my command-line To-Do list tools – after a quick try, they seem to work fine. I quite like this – it’s actually quicker than navigating to and filling in the Pocket Outlook forms to just enter the text I want then hit Enter.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong!! :confused:

The BBC website says the iplayer will stream to the HTC touch diamond, and that you go to www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer to access it. I do this and try to watch a programme then it says it needs flash player installing. When you click on the link to adobe it's for pc's.

I've tried installing flash lite 2.1 but this doesn't seem to connect with the iplayer.

It's as if iplayer doesn't recognise I'm using a mobile device.

Searching on here has turned up lots of alternative ways to view iplayer content, but I was hoping to do it directly from the website like the BBC say you can.

Am I just having a blonde day or am I missing something fundamental? :o
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] xavierdemon:
iPlayer has been covered to death, with numerous solutions to get it working. My favorite, Myplayer - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=501131&highlight=myplayer. Simply an awesome app, another option is iPlayer - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=475641&highlight=iplayer, sadly don't think it's being developed any further but very good to just download the show you want (through wifi) and watch it later.

HTH.

Thanks for that, I'll give them a go.

At least I know it's not me being stupid!! :D

For some reason whenever I view a picture in lanscape mode the picture rotates to the right making it upside down. Why, and is there a fix? It doesnt matter if I take the picture in landscape or portrait I get this issue.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] us1111:
I got my phone to repairs because of a broken touchscreen.. Nicely done by HTC, they came to pick it up and returned a new unit a week later. Very good service...

However, now there's something strange going on.. I've reconfigured the Exchange mobile sync part with OWA server and all. Now everything (Mail and Contacts) is synchronizing nicely, except my Calendar??

When Calendar is being synced, you can see it tries 3 times and then a "cannot connect to server" error.. This seems odd, because for contacts and mail it connects perfectly to the exact same server...

I tried to configure it on 2 firmware versions, the original and the rooted Modaco rom, no change.

Is there some logging going on where I maybe can pinpoint the problem??
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] us1111:
Out of the blue it works again :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] Yourrid:
I finally figured out how to get my Touch Pro 2 to play full movie files, but now the audio coming out of my headphones is so low. I even enabled the audio booster, but its still not that loud... there's no way you could listen to a movie while on an airplane, or in a car.

Is there any way to tweak the registry to allow more decibels come out of the headphones? or an app that allows this?

hey guys, im having a problem with me g1, and need to get it replaced. im setting everything back to normal, i just cant find the original boot screen (the tmobile g1 one) online anywhere, to change my splash back

if you could give me a link, or provide a picture, would be most appreciated.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
the DREAIMG.nbh will overwrite splash1 with the t-mobile g1 screen and if you have a splash2 screen use

fasboot erase splash2

to get rid of it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexjzim:
Thanks dude

I already flashed dreaimg

I didn't evn think of just erasing splash2, I thought when change the splash it removes the original g1 one.

Now I can send back my phone with no probelms >:]
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
they will never know what hit them mwah-ha-ha

i had to revert one of my phones yesterday to rc-29 and found out that it overwrites the custom boot image with the stock one. and if the phone has the 1.33.2005 spl then you do not have to worry about splash2 because that spl doesn't have a splash2 screen:)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
doesnt the DREAIMG.nbh overwrite EVERYTHING on the NANDflash? I thought it did.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
yes it does, but since there is no splash2 by default with the hard spl, eng, or stock, you need to use the fastboot erase spalsh2 command if you have a custom boot image for splash2.

[Shift Development] masterci:
Hi everybody!

I'm new of the forum... I read all the posts but this is the first time I write!

I've a W7 RTM (7600.16385) ULTIMATE that seems like the last edition ready for the market.

In order to the activation I've the 7LOADER by Orbit30 which enable the keys if you have a known kind of pc (ASUS, MSI,HP, LENOVO....).

I read many posts about problems with W7 RC: WiFi,touchscreen, wlan....

Did anyone try the new W7 RTM installation???

Founded problems???

Do I need to install all the drives like with W7 RC???

Thank you very much!!!

Beppe
[Shift Development] shaytaan:
Don't install the RTM is you need the touchscreen!

I tried everything without any success with the touchscreen.

I'm returning to RC again
[Shift Development] labnotes:
I installed windows 7 rtm oem 7600.16385 and the touchscreen works just fine. Am I missing something here?
[Shift Development] masterci:
It's a very good notice!!!

Have you tried wifi, screen resolution (over 800x600), connection GPRS???

Is it all ok?

How did you install W7? DVD or USB?

Did you format the HD before start the installation?

Sorry for all these questions but I think it's very important for many people!!!

Thank you very much!!!
[Shift Development] labnotes:
Everything works fine on my end. I did do a clean install burning win7 img to a DVD. I installed each driver in order (via HTC support page for the Shift).

a. VISTA_INTEL Chipset Driver v8[1].3.0.1014

b. Intel VGA driver(7[1].14.10.1461)

c. VistaECDrvV1[1].0.1.10

d. TouchScreen(1[1].1.0.2)

e. Synaptics MicroPad(10[1].0.11.1)

f. Realtek Audio Driver R197(6[1].0.1.5653)

g. Vitakey _AC5023_Fingerprint AP v5[1].0.2.0 and Driver v7.10.1.0 *

h. Extension Kit USBLanDriver(3[1].8.3.7)

i. Shagctrl_1[1].2.6.122-control center

j. Marvell WiFi driver(8[1].114.123.139)

Since I lost my usb hub/ethernet, I didn't install driver h. Nor did I install Vitakey (g) because I don't like how it lags up the Shift on start up. I didn't install driver f either because the driver is provided by win7.

GPRS connection works.

The only problem I had is with the WiFi driver (htc provided), it would work on some routers and it wouldn't even locate ssid on other routers (dlink wpa) but windows update fixed the problem with providing an optional Marvell Wifi Driver and windows update also provided an optional fingerprint driver which I installed even though I don't use it.

As we all know we can't use aero past 800x600. We all use the classic theme and I'm able to change resolutions to 800x600, 1024x600, 1024x768 and 1154x864.

You don't need to apologize about asking too many questions, I believe we don't ask enough questions =).

What can I say.... Thank you very much!!!

Now I can start to work.....:D

Of course I'll post here my experience...

Bye

[Shift Development] masterci:
Hi labnotes, just another question... :confused:

My friend activated W7 on his home pc with the program 7loader and all is ok.

The program, working with the bios, ask you to set the brand (there are many brands:acer, asus, intel, msi, hp, lenovo.....) before apply the activation.

Of course there's not the HTC, so what I have to set???

For your installation, how did you active the keys to remove the 30 days trial???

Thank you very much!!!
[Shift Development] wovens:
I believe there are three (no! four) options:

1)- You buy a licence

2)- You get one from work

3)- You steal a licence.(sorry, but it is true)

4)- You get it as a gift from someone that bought the licence for you! (this is the best!)

Very, very simple!
[Shift Development] masterci:
Ok I upgradaded my shift and all is ok!!!!!

I had only one problem with the touchscreen...

I solved it simply change the order of driver!!!

Not this:

a. VISTA_INTEL Chipset Driver v8[1].3.0.1014

b. Intel VGA driver(7[1].14.10.1461)

c. VistaECDrvV1[1].0.1.10

d. TouchScreen(1[1].1.0.2)

BUT THIS:

a. VISTA_INTEL Chipset Driver v8[1].3.0.1014

c. VistaECDrvV1[1].0.1.10

b. Intel VGA driver(7[1].14.10.1461)

d. TouchScreen(1[1].1.0.2)

Now it's perfect!!!

Don't worry about branding it, just activate it using the 7loader you have. I'm glad to hear you got it all working!

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salmanbodla:
Hi everyone,

A relatively noob question here.

I am running the Official ROM 2.76.405.5 on an unbranded Hero, and want to give Linux-Swap a try. But I don't want Apps2SD; I might move certain apps cache to the SD after rooting, but like the Apps themselve on the internal memory though. How can I go about it? What do I need to do?

1) Can I format my SD card so that it has a fat32 and a linux-swap partition but NO "ext" partition?

2) If I do make an EXT partition, what patch/fix should I do to make only swapping work, without Apps2SD? Modaco's Hero patch as well as his custom ROMs come with Apps2SD. Is there a way to get rid of it?

3) Will I need "busybox" to make swapping work? Or is "Swapper" alone going to be enough?

4) If I make my custom update.zip file from Modaco's Hero patch.zip, from which I delete A2SD, and then falsh that update.zip via the recovery mode, will it work?

5) And what swap size do you recommend? Some people use as large as 256MB... while the default in most cases is 32MB. Is the larger the better?

Please help a non-developer here. Many thanks in advance! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salmanbodla:
OK, I have done it and it seems right. I made all three partitions (fat32, ext3, and linux-swap) and then pushed busybox by Modaco's method via "adb shell". That means I have the ext3 partition but no Apps2SD, so my apps would stay on the internal memory. Am I right?

Now I have also installed Swapper and so far it has not given me any error. Via Advanced settings, I have told it to use Swap "partition" instead on swap file. My swap partition is 256MB ;)

My questions now are:

1) If I kill swapper by taskkiller, will swapping end?

2) How much swappiness should I choose?

3) How do I know that it is working and what improvements should I expect to see? How can I test that my phone is functioning faster??

Please reply :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salmanbodla:
Would anyone like to share their comments on this, please?!?

One more thing, Hero comes with a 288MB RAM, but the total available system memory (RAM) shown by Swapper app is 197MB. Why such discrepancy??

Your views will be much appreciated! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cokbok:
Very well asked questions. Some masters respond to them please so we don't disturb you about these questions within every thread of yours :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salmanbodla:
Thanks jubeh, thanks soo much. It was really helpful :) After reading your answer, I completely understand how to make only fat32 and linux-swap partitions and save space by not having an ext3.

I am afraid I don't quite understand the compcache thing; I think I have to do more reading/homework on this before I ask further questions :)

I did install the Official ROM which I downloaded from HTC website as an RUU >> flashed Amon_RA's recovery image via flashrec >> rooted by pushing "su" and "Superuser.apk" via ADB shell, and then also pushed Busybox (from Modaco's 2.2 ROM, I think it is version 1.5.1).

I am using a Sandisk 8GB class 6 card... it is fine so far (except the photo thumbnails not being generated in the ".thumbnails" forlder, but that's a different story). I have noticed that after the ROM upgrade, a folder called "rosie_scroll" get automatically created on the SD card... may be it's a kind of built-in swap?!?! Am not too sure.

Moreover, at the moment, I have set swappiness to 60. When most of the apps are open, the hero functions quite well but I see that about 190-194MB of the internal memeory is being uesd at times and heavy use and the area of occupied swap partition gradually increases. I think it is because only thise apps will swap which are kind of sleeping or dozing in the background. Am I right?

Just another question, if you unzup MCR 2.2, you see in the xbin folder, a file called "dexopt-wrapper", an addition to busybox. What does it do? Its function?

Will having lots off apps open in the background and swapping them continuosly have a deleterious effect on the battery life??

Thanks again :)

Best regards.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sik_gerar:
having many apps open means using ram a lot. if you add swapping, it means not only ram sucking battery, but also reading/wirtting sd, which is pretty much battery sucker itself.

so yes, if you want to lengthen your battery life, keep your apps loaded atst to a minimum.

if what you want is a comparison for battery life between swapping and not swapping.. you should check if you have your phone always on or off and some other factors (keeping ram alive in hibernation mode wastes more battery than static sd memory, ie).
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salmanbodla:
Thanks sik_gerar :) I understand where you are coming from.

I installed ICSinstall.cab (January, 2008 version) on my TP2 (Verizon), rebooted, connected USB to my laptop, connected the application a VOILA! I'm online!

Awesome, now I just need to know if this is safe to use on my Verizon TP2. Will Verizon see that I'm tethering my laptop?

EDIT: Added the ICS cab, in case anyone else needs it..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xnifex:
Did Verizon take this out of there phone? It comes normally on every WM phone I've owned. Why did you have to install it?

Also, it should just show as you using data like normal use with phone, but don't quote me no that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] .mak:
Someone said the executable for the internet sharing application could be found in the \windows\ folder, but it wasn't there on my device, so I installed it. I assume that Verizon didn't include it because they like to charge $15 for tethering on top of the $30 data plan, and this application, obviously, allows you to tether for free.

Anyways, still looking for more clarification on whether or not Verizon can see that I'm tethering :)

Verizon tether

I've been using the same thing to tether on my xv6800 for about a year now. I don't use it regularly, but 2-3 times a month when I'm travelling. They've never said anything with this phone. I want to switch to the TP2, but was wondering if I'd be able to tether without their $15/month charge. Clearly you've made it work, and I think if it works, they are not likely to notice moderate bandwidth useage. If you use it 24/7 to stream netflix- then maybe you might show up on some list of bandwidth hogs.

Awhile back (4 months)I installed a weather program from here to add my town to the weather page on my touch pro. Ever since I did this it crashes touch flow. I have been searching for a fix ever since and nothing has fixed it.. I have searched the forums here and tried several solutions to no avail.

I am at the point that I guess I'm ready to reset the phone and start over. I have quite a few programs installed on a storage card and want to know if they will work after a total reset or do I need to find the app installs for all these programs while I can still see what I have installed on here?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] drdrewdown:
the links to launch the apps will no longer be there. its always a good idea to save the "source" cabs in a directory on the storage card. if you need help, i have a massive collection of apps in cab format, just gimme a shout.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Myrddin Wyllt:
Indeed, programs often require registry edits, and occasionally require the registration of libraries, file types, and other issues that make SD card installation an unfriendly alternative.

Better to do as drdrewdown mentioned, and make yourself a repository. I put mine on 4shared (see my sig, lower right), just to make sure I have what I want/need from anywhere. Even SD cards break down, sometimes.
