I saw your other thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=593634)

This issue is definitely not linked to my application :s

something is preventing your computer and mobile from communicate.

I have an HD2 too (french rom, no operator customization), and it works. Ping works too. It is not an hardware or driver issue. It must be a software issue on your device (operator customization? buggy local rom build ?) or an issue with your wifi access point.

Could you try to hard reset your device, if possible? that may be something you installed that causes this issue. After hard reset, do not install anything:

try to ping the device first, and try my application or the other one you had an issue with.

If it still doesn't work, could you try at another place (at a friend home for example) to be sure it is not some kind of incompatibility between the HD2 and your WIFI access point?

you should also try this tool, it may help diagnose connectivity issues :

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...01-49d4-4506-a03b-c41bc76c2f51&displaylang=en

could you send me the log that this tool produces, so that I can compare with mine?

try this one to ping your desktop computer (with firewall disabled of course), to see if the pda is able to communicate with the computer:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Xeon:
hey, Thanks for the help. I am sure it's not the router as even in Adhoc mode I cannot ping between the workstation and HD2. I tried a hard reset and nothing changed. 1 month ago, my HD was able to perform this task but with the new HD2, it's weird that I can't :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link8506:
I'm really surprised that even an hard reset and ad hoc connection didn't help!

is it an HD2 with an HTC rom or an operator ROM?

I know someone who have an HTC touch cruise with an O2 rom and have this issue too. Maybe some operators change a setting on their ROM preventing inbound connections...

@iridium21

do you have an HTC rom or an operator customized rom?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link8506:
forget about that,

not an operator customization issue
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iridium21:
My Touch Pro 2's an unbranded phone with the stock WM6.5 HTC ROM.

At least I'm not alone in having problems. :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link8506:
well, he just solved his problem by flashing the rom to a worlwide english/european one.

so that definitely not an hardware problem :)

Now I'm thinking about regional settings for those who still have this issue:

-either wifi settings : some channels are prohibed in some countries, so there is a regional settings defined at rom level, and MAYBE these settings trigger a bug a some devices that prevent inbound connection. Maybe messing with the registry could help finding a key who defines this unwanted behavior

-or operator settings. For now the issue affects only HTC devices, and as every HTC device has a built in configuration tool at first startup that shows a list of network operators in your country, and then updates your phone settings to your network operator prefered settings, maybe for some operator there would be a lock that is set up at this time on every network connection to prevent inbound connections.

Maybe doing an hard reset and bypassing the network auto configuration could kill this bug! That's the only idea I got for the moment...

Thanks for the nice app!

In attached file you can find Russian files for one.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link8506:
Thank you!

wow you even translated the resource dll of the XBAP application?

with what application did you do that, since I haven't provided the project source code?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link8506:
new version release (almost final):

Beta 5/Release candidate (2009/12/09) :

-Added a feature to check for updates. No more expiration date!

-Added the ability to distinguish WIFI and USB networks from other networks. Shows WIFI signal strength (signal strength indicator doesn't refresh automatically in this version).

-Added the ability to enable automatically the server when the application is launched, and added the ability to display a link to the registry editor in the main menu (disabled by default)

-Changed the way to prevent device from sleeping. Now you can push the power button and the application should continue to run (it will auto disable and go to full sleep after 10 minutes of inactivity in order to save battery power). This feature doesn't work with every device.

-Alphabetic sorting is now more natural: (i.e : "File1", "File2", "File10" instead of "File1", "File10", "File2").

-Fixed a bug in the XBAP app when running on Windows XP where the pictures took a very long time to display in the 3D gallery.

Extraordinary work!

Took two hours to download/update NET 3.5 and then deal with a Windows Presentation Foundation Host error on my XP Desktop, but it was all worth it. Going away for the holidays so now I can share photos and other stuff with family without having to squint.

Thank you for making this available. Looking forward to finding the donation link :D.

Sorry, now I have small holydays in Prague, so I can to translate the new version only after returning home in sunday.

DUSK morph phase one

And now the possibillity to skin the buttons (configure wifi, view log, settings, preview in ie). The background is now complete in black and the big button (:D) too. The both status grafics now in graysacle but i have chosen the original color for the application status. Otherwise the status of remote access is not 100% visbile.

@link8506:

The white glow around the top button is fantastic. That was a very good idea!!

Info:

The first two screenshots from the actual skin. The 3rd oine is something in my mind. Possible changeables :cool: (background, buttons, grafics, ...)?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iridium21:
Anyone else here had the browser time out problem - and sorted it out yet? :confused:

(fingers crossed)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
No, it is working nearly perfect. Only one script error. But for that i must make a screenshot later in the evening.

Edit: screenshot with error from IE added under http://169.254.2.1/fs/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link8506:
I have posted about that a few days ago.

Since someone who have an HD2 (with a localized rom) has solved his issue by flashing to another rom (worldwide english one), I think it is related to HTC country specific configuration.

here is my previous post about this:

could you do a hard reset?

and at first startup, when the HTC's network configuration tool appears, do not select any network operator, just bypass it, and then install my app and try to see if it works.

note: you may need to remove your sim card before doing the hard reset.

If it is still not working, make sure you have the lastest HTC rom, and if it doesn't changes anything, try some cooked rom. Since it is not an hardware issue, there must be a customized rom that has not this issue which seems to be region-specific!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link8506:
Really?

in what page? with what browser?

ok great job :)

I will try to make the changes you need in a few weeks, since I will rewrite the UI code. But I need to focus on features before that (remote control, sms...).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link8506:
ok no problem.

Anyway the final version will be out soon, and you won't have to translate the resource dll anymore, all the text will be in the same file :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi link8506,

see my post number #94.... Internet Explorer with XP and SP03
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link8506:
ok I though it was a javascript error.

In fact it's just a debug message. I will remove it from final release.

by the way, what is this "network" item that appears in your screenshot?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
OK, good to hear that the error message is only a debug information.

"network" comes from Schaps_NetworkPlugin_1_0_30468_1.CAB.

With that i can search in my network via the file explorer and with WHS Mobile from www.homeserverland.com i can stream musik and/or videos and can view to my pitures on the windows home server. This is the only one from MS that is working without problems. OK, and our phones, OK not all the time :rolleyes:. But that is all from MS...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nataraj_latest:
hey guys

just an added advantage using this app.......

just use a ad-hoc connection between 2 mobiles and using this app u can easily just copy content one to another easily and fast too:D.......

just that u hav to use the classic view in this method

but i love to transfer my files as its way too fast:)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vadim_bogaiskov:
How to turn off this feature? I want to disable WIFI Remote Access manually only.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] netonyx:
This is a great app! Very slick and responsive.

When I first saw this a couple of weeks ago, I couldn't really see what use it would be to me (which was dumb of me, btw), but since in the last few days my Fuze has spontaneously forgotten what it is (Windows no longer recognizes what type of device it is, no matter which computer I try), I gave it a try. I'm glad I did.

For me, personally, it gives me a very handy way to transfer files to and from my device. I installed the Schaps Network Plugin as mentioned previously by mike2nl, and while it is very useful, file transfers were very slow and unreliable for whatever reason. Using this app I have been transferring files to and from my phone much more quickly.

The one problem I have encountered with this version (beta 5) is that the 10 minute inactivity timeout seems to ignore my activity. :) Although I have been transferring files non-stop, every so often the transfer stalls. When I try to upload a file again, it just sits there for awhile before showing an error, and when I go back to the previous page it prompts me to login again. I haven't actually timed it, just guessing it's the 10 minute timer, but it seems to be about that long.

I've attached a screenshot of the error I've been getting.

Thanks again for all your hard work. Really, it's a great application, and I look forward to seeing where you take it from here.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link8506:
thank you!

I will add the ability to change this setting in final release (available tomorrow)

did you have to click on "enable" again after you got this message?

when a 10minutes inactivity timeout occurs, the "web server" inside the application is stopped and the session cookie is lost. When you re-enable it, you will need to log in again (the current version of the xbap/WPF based interface will show you an error message, as it currently doesn't expose a login screen itself: you need to go back to an HTML page to log in)

I'm currently working on the sleep preventing feature, because I'm aware of some issues within it.

polish translate

yeaa great news !

I made a polish translation but something going wrong ... don't work on my device ... i edit a en file and save it in UTF-8 code file.

grab full translated txt file and maybe U can fix it :)

THX and cheers ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] netonyx:
Awesome news. Looking forward to it.

No, I didn't have to click Enable, or do anything else on the phone end, just re-login on the PC. But after I made that post I kept transferring files for awhile and paid attention to it, and it was definitely every 10 minutes or so that the transfers would stall and I would have to log in again.

Calls on PC

Is it possible to allow calls to be taken (via mic & speakers) on the PC?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vadim_bogaiskov:
Thank you. We will wait it. Do you change the languages file for final release? In this case if you like to include Russian translation in final release send to me original English files before publication.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JaCoL_JcL:
ahhhh waiting for final releas !! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
I have done now the wifi connection test between two phones too. Amazing, it works without any problem. Now i become an idea to support my own webpages on the little http server. possible a little flasgame.

Senso = simon says = http://www.spielesuechtig.de/flashgames/senso.htm
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jackuuuuu:
This is little thing indeed so cool!!!! Looking forward to future SMS and other addons!!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi Jackuuuuu,

some addons you can write (jacascript or html) on your own. I have done it so and it is working. I have send link8506 some links with information about *.PHP and *.ASP information. AT the moment i am busy to add one more flash game. The first on was simon says. And it is running....yes.

Very good stuff from link 8506. I hope the future brings more not only phone related in his mini html server.

PS. here we have10 cm snow at this weekend. For the netherlands very special, and the childs are happy...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link8506:
thank you, but someone already sent me a polish translation two weeks ago.

I think your translation was not working because you added white spaces before and after the '=' character on each line.

Anyway I'm glad you liked my application enough to take the time to do this translation! :) thank you

no, this application is just a webserver, it doesn't allow you to do that.

sorry, I promised the final version a week ago, but I lacked of time to finish it.

I've implemented the Remote Control feature a few days ago. I'm still trying to improve performance, because it is currently pretty bad. A beta preview will be available very soon.

there is no asp or php interpreter in my application (it would require much work, and it would not be very fast to execute)

however, you can build dynamic web pages the same way I did for the pages served by WIFI Remote Access. I may publish a sample project to explain how to build such pages which are in fact just DLL .net compact framework assemblies (visual studio 2008 needed to compile them). Since the bytecode is already compiled, it should be faster than an asp/php script interpreter.

the only thing we got in south of france is a cold winter, and rain... no snow here :'(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link8506:
WIFI Remote Access 1.0w final available.

Users who have a device in Russian or Polish should be able to get a translation in their language by using the update feature.

If someone can confirm me if it works correctly, it would be great.

The application is available on the french marketplace since today, but it is not the same version, it is the 1.0m version ("m" stands for marketplace release, and "w" stands for web release) which is older.

The 1.0m version has an issue because the certification process has broken the XBAP/WPF application (a file has been signed digitally, which caused his hash to change and broke the xbap component identification)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
For that i have interpreter now. They need a installed http server. A very smallone is enough. I have done some tests and it is great.

Download:

I have donloaded the latest version now. Installing it and some tests will be done in the night. The report i will publish later in the next 2 days.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hanackin:
hi mate ! :D

what's the changelog for the V1.0 ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vadim_bogaiskov:
Hi, link8506!

Congratulation with final release!

Some small comments:

1. Updated Russian translation you can find in attachment zip.

2. With the localization doesn't load the Russian Help file. :(

3. 3D view still in English :(

4. Short password is able (e.g. 123) ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link8506:
Le voici :

Version 1.0w : (2009/12/24, web release)

-Added support for language file download : Russian and Polish translation files are already available. Click on "Settings", "Search for update" to download them is you use a device in one of these languages.

-The "Send" button is now disabled after being clicked to prevent the user from submitting the HTML form twice when uploading a file.

-Not affected by the issue of the version 1.0m where the marketplace digital signature broke the XBAP/WPF component (on Internet Explorer with .net framework 3.5 installed).

Version 1.0m : (2009/12/17, version released only on the french marketplace)

-Clicking on "Disable" will now stop immediately the running requests (previously the requests would continue running until they have completed)

-The application should not freeze anymore when you try to close it (it used to happen if a request was still being processed)

-Added the ability to disable the timeout that disables the application after 10 minutes of inactivity. The length of the timeout can be changed.

-By default, to comply with the marketplace rules, the application doesn't prevent the device to go to sleep anymore, and a message is displayed to explain that on the web interface.

-Better compatibility with HTC devices when preventing the device from going to sleep (the device should not shutdown the wifi connection if you press the power button while the application is running).

-To comply with the marketplace rules, the application uninstallation or upgrade will now delete the users.xml file.

-The shortcut of WIFI Remote Access no longer have a high rank (it is now displayed at the bottom of the start menu)

thank you :)

thank you again. I'm thinking about allowing translators like you to display their name and a link to their site (if they have one) in the setting panel, just bellow the link to my site.

in the translation file, you will have to add the following lines:

translatorname=Your name or nickname

translatorwebsite=http://www.yoursite.com

I just forgot that... will add this in the next minor release

yeah I skipped that part... yet

I don't like the idea of dll editing to translate the xbap/wpf app. I will add a way to do that with flat text files.

I don't understand what you mean
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link8506:
I just put your updated translation file online.

Could you go to Settings, check for update, and tell me if it tells you that a translation is available? (even if the old translation is already installed)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vadim_bogaiskov:
Translation is ok.

This questsion:

may be translated:

cool stuff ^_^ just tried it, it works a treat :D

one question though, whats the point of it? afterall if your connecting to a network without encryption, then your probably just connecting to your own, and cant you then just browse with a usb cable ect..

really lovely work,functionality and ui though :)

dynamic dns support?

Hi, great app...it would make it even easier to pull up if you could add dynamic dns support to easily get to the phone. Here's some open source that might help with implementing it if you get the change...

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mobile/CompactDynDNS.aspx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link8506:
yeah I have been thinking about that since the beginning. But I will host my own address redirection service since I don't want to force my users to create a dyndns account to use this feature. I want it to be as simple as possible.

Expect this feature in WIFI Remote Access 2.0.

And later, I hope, a feature to access files from the internet without WIFI (using cellular data connection)

But for now, I'm focused on finishing the version 1.5.

SMB is a rather complex protocol. A new application could be created from that idea ^^

Anyway, I'm thinking about implementing FTP protocol, to make it easier to copy multiple files and resume transfers. That should be much easier than implementing SMB. And since FTP support is included directly in Windows, that would make this feature accessible easily for most users.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link8506:
Just added a paypal donation link on the first page, for those who want to support the development of WIFI Remote Access.

(My crappy "low cost" web hosting service charges me 15€/GB and I had 12GB of traffic on my site in november... and I have not yet received my december invoice! Of course the ads on my site cover only half of the cost...

I will migrate my site to Windows Azure in january, additional bandwidth is way cheaper there)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link8506:
I put these informations here:

(they will be visible in the about box in the next version of the app too)

However, your website link doesn't seem to be valid (even when I'm connected to my windows live account, I am redirected to http://home.live.com/?showunauth=1). Could you verify it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Braakie:
First, thanks for this app. I had the same problems as iridium21 to connect to my phone with wifi. After trying many things, I learned that I had no fixed IP address in my router for my connected phone. After I had my phone given an IP address in my router, I returned my router off, and then I could connect to my phone via wifi. Also I found out that if you are using a wired PC you can not connect via wifi to your phone, but when you turn your PC to wireless, you can connect. Maybe this is the solution iridium21 here.

Thnx again for the nice app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iridium21:
Thanks for the suggestion. Spurred on by your message I've just tried again, and I've got it to work!!!! :D It turns out the problem lay in COMODO firewall as my phone was already given an address by my router.

Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link8506:
fortunately, on most WIFI routers, communications between ethernet and WIFI devices is allowed.

This is the first time I hear about a router blocking communications between wired and wireless devices by default, but I'm not really surprised it exists...

I know some wifi routers allow you to create a "guest" wifi network for anyone to use your internet connexion without being allowed to access your internal network (devices connected to ethernet and to the private wifi network)

good to know that this issue was not a bug in windows mobile or in some ROM as I thought earlier!

What is strange is that someone told that this issue was solved by upgrading his device rom... I guess he changed his router configuration at the same time...

By the way, didn't you told me that you tested at a friend's home and it didn't work neither? :confused: Was he using the same router device with the same configuration?
