Okay I enter my DynDns User name and Password in the boxes...

Put in the server name...

Update every 10 min for ip click save.

The problem is on the DynDns site I don't know the phone's IP address????

Through wifi and the cellular connection
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
are you able to connect to internet thru ur device? could you check whaz ur external IP by checking it at site like this

n then try that IP: portnumber check if this works... in case it is 10.* type i think you can contact your provider.

also try experimenting the same with using direct IP address i.e 10.* one.

Ensure that server is running...you wont be able to access all the pages in case it works but still we can know if it works or not.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
I hope you did Save then did a Start Server before trying!! the app takes care of updating your device IP on DynDns automatically, if you are not behind some proxy or firewall.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] deedee:
Public address gives the same result. Looks like I am going to have to talk to my carrier about getting a public adddress to my device.

Internet works just fine

How can I check the server is running if I can't connect to it?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
if the server is not running the control panel SMS Server CP's menu item will display "Start Server" else if it is running it will show "Close Server"
[Windows Mobile Software Development] deedee:
OK, checked that and yes it's running. Also browsing to http://127.0.0.1:5050 on my Xperia gets me a login page.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
did u try the same with ur private ip(10.*)... from a pc??
[Windows Mobile Software Development] deedee:
Yes, private address from PC gets nowhere.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
Then i think ur service provider could explain more :o
[Windows Mobile Software Development] deedee:
OK, thanks anyway.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
Hey deedee,

could you check with this app if it helps. it is a winmo version of ip updater for dyndns... m not sure what exactly it does but no harm tryin, plz check if it updates ur dyndns account with some other IP?

Thanks,

Mohit
[Windows Mobile Software Development] deedee:
Nope, still shows my 10. address.

Vodafone must be doing something strange.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] samvds:
Still great!

Hi Mohit,

Long time ago!

I wanted to say I still use this app DAILY and I think you can call it a full version! No more beta!

I don't get any errors anymore since the release of version 0.7!

Great work!

And, if you want some more mobile-software-suggests, I do have ;)

Sam
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
Hey Sam,

Good to hear from you after a long time... nice to know that it works fine and you still use it :)

Sure Sam you are most welcome for suggesting new apps. you may mail me, then maybe we can start something intersting like this one.

I am kindda busy these days at work but a nice idea is always refreshing:D

Thanks,

Mohit
[Windows Mobile Software Development] br3nt:
been using it a couple of times just for fun, but I can't get the remote start to work, tried several things, could it be me or is it the way the HD2 handles incoming messages (I think it because of HTC messaging)?

a reference to Remotetracker - when you need to send a command you need to use a char - "#" if I'm not mistaken

just me being dumb, or on to something here? :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
nope you are not being dumb, message interception wont work on HD2, thaz y it is not starting up nobody's fault. And about #... no need just "Start Server"...

Thanks,

Mohit
[Windows Mobile Software Development] BlueClifford:
really enjoying this program. thanks!

One issue: "stop server" button doesn't seem to work. I'm using 0.7beta. What exactly should happen when this button is pressed?

Also, will the "stop server" button disconnect my internet connection on my phone, or would I have to do this manually? Is it possible to send a SMS to my phone with "stop server" and it will disconnect the internet (similar to how "start server" starts the internet)?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
Thanks for using the app BlueClifford,

i think you are talking abt the stop server button on the web page, that should terminate the server running over your phone so that you wont be able to read/write the SMS from web.

to check if it works press stop server and then try again to access/use the webpage.

No, stop server won't touch the data connection on your phone i.e dataconnection would remain active even after server is stopped.

And abt stop server SMS command, this one is not there:o never thought that it would be necessary as webpage already had a function for that.

Please let me know if you are facing any problems

Thanks,

Mohit

spamming the forum :)

long time no one came in here... just to push it up in the list :o
[Windows Mobile Software Development] JustBored:
Great App!

It works just fine on a HTC Diamond. But...

Im looking for a app that I can use from my website to send sms commands by pressing a button.

Can commands be sent from another web page?

Best Regards

PJ
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
Hi PJ,

Well sorry this can't be done easily...or it is very much not possible with this app as the webpage gets generated from the mobile. So it is just not about a button.

But it will need all together a new app.

Thanks,

Mohit
[Windows Mobile Software Development] JustBored:
Hi

I will se what I can do myself. Your app is a good start I think.

I think I can have multiple webpages on my phone holding the code for a specific button.

Thanks for a great app anyway!

dyndns.com is asking for confirmation of email account,

but i havent got any link for confirmation.

is there any website who give free host's?

please lemme kno.

very nice application.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] muh2k4:
This application is totally what i am looking for. but sadly it does not work for me. i followed your steps, but i can not access the server via the browser. it has nothing to do with the dyndns, because i cant access the page by typing the socket. i tried different ports, even the port 80.

but its strange, i cant even "ping" my cellphone :confused:

does anybody else have this problem?

EDIT: My IP starts with a 10, but I dont think thats a problem?!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
Thanks for trying it out,

and for your problem it can be bcz of ur service provider as some of them block the incoming connections or u may be connecting thru a proxy... do u need to set up some port and user stuff while configuring ur data connection?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bigjoke:
Hello,

I also have a problem with your application:

I can have access to the web login page via my wifi but after entering user and password I get the page could'nt be displayed....

Any idea?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
so did you input all the details and then clicked save from menu in the app?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bigjoke:
Yes, I tried to change the port number and double checked that the Dyndns service was working, everything seems to be ok...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bigjoke:
Just retry now to double check and it works :/

At least I can pass the login page..

now I try to retreive some sms and get:

"pIMAPIContainerOpenEntry failed: MAPI_E_NOT_FOUND"

Revrese Server

Great job man !

I was wondering, could you make same thing but with reverse server.

Computer should be a server, and mobile application client.

With my provider, I have local ip adress (startnig with 10.x.x.x), and there is no way to get access to device.

In reverse case, PC would be a web server, and WM will be client and hardware function operator.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] BlueClifford:
Fantastic program. There hasn't been a program like this in a long time.

I wanted to ask, is there any chance that you would be building such a program for the android platform? I have yet to find one that is as simple and effective as yours.

Again, Thank you very much.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] rwxer:
Take a look at http://www.bloove.com , but it uses external web service and its current version doesn't allow to start app on a phone on incoming sms so you have to start it manually.

Hello,

with this Fix you have the oppinion to run the latest

phone canvas edition on the newest build

this fix works perfekt with build 23102...

i am establish after several hours and many many hardware-resets that only one file must be changed...

changelog version 3 fix:

source: build 28014

only "cprog.exe"

with this fix:

phone canvas shows incoming dial information

phone canvas display correct contact-information

problems occur sometimes:

cprog.exe crash sometimes, only solution: soft-reset

how to install this fix:

1. install version of phone canvas (tested with leo v4.2, works perfect)

2. end "cprog.exe" with fdc soft taskmanager

3. install "everal phone canvas fix 28014 v3.cab"

download v3:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/ynjkiedihkg/Everal Phone Canvas FIX 28014 V3.cab

So i call all resource-hackers to view the latest cprog.exe with this build for finding the difference....

thanks

I will test it when I get home and cook a new rom. Question though, can it be coocked normally or should it be installed after coocking??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] everal:
in my oppinion i would it not cookin into the rom...

now i only update one file in v3, but sometimes the old "cprog.exe" will be crash, in this case only soft-reset can start "cprog.exe" again, may be other solutions ???

I had the same problem with a Toshiba TG01 running MIROM10 cooked ROM, SPB mobile shell combination. Caller did not show up. I used your fix in combination with this task manager http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm

Realy nice because it p***ed me a lot not to see whom is calling me. Especially because I am using the phone both private and on business and not seeing whom is calling is anoying.

Thanks again.

Hi all!

I need a little help! I tried to install this fix above with no succsess! Of course I killed cprog.exe from processes. The cab can not install (error message), i unpacked the cprog.exe from it, and tried to copy it manually. Now I have 2 cprog.exe in my windows folder: CPROG.EXE and cprog.exe. I can't delete either of them and the call-id problem is still present.

What can I do to make this fix work?

Thanks in advance!
[Touch Diamond CDMA] lancep93:
im on the regional carrier and i was jus wondering whether this cdma version of the diamond is restricted in anyway (for cooked roms and android port).

or will it work like any other diamond?

It does

It work just as all the rest. I have been using custom roms and the android ports

So in summary, while none of the current applications will run on it, the underlying non-UI APIs will be compatible. So if understand correctly, porting would just a case of redeveloping the UI then recompiling, rather than starting completely from scratch. This acts to filter out apps with no more developer support, and promote a consistent UI.

Doesn't sound too bad to me.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] elyl:
That might explain why TomTom was seen on that screenshot of WP7 running on the HD2 (although, it could be a fake!). TomTom takes control of the screen, so uses no WM interface elements. So, it might be able to run full-screen apps/games without changes.

But, who knows...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] RustyGrom:
I was just thinking the same except if you use the included .net controls, there's no reason that the OS couldn't just reskin them automatically to be at least somewhat more in line with the WP7 styling.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Fred23:
This would be excellent if it's true - and I can't see why it wouldn't be. The UI may be new but why throw away a perfectly good underlying core.

What would also be ideal is if the "multi-tasking" involved an app being set to pause in the background by default, but with a "keep me running" API call available for apps that needed it. I'm sure most apps hog resourses not because they need to but because the developer hasn't really thought about how the rest of the device performs when his app has been left running.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] RufusThorne:
Makes sense, WindowsCE core is still the same
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] mamaich:
Absolutely wrong statement due to incorrect translation. Original: "De interface van Windows Phone 7 Series is totaal anders, waardoor er in elk geval iets aan de applicaties moet gebeuren voordat ze geschikt zijn voor Windows Phone 7 Series"

Even google translates it correctly:

"The interface of Windows 7 Phone Series is different, which in any case something should happen to the applications before they are suitable for Windows 7 Phone Series".

We have some "ms confidential" documentation dated January 2010 that proves that none of the existing apps would be compatible with WinPhone7. And the only programming suite that is available to "generic" application-writers is Silverlight+XNA. Native apps are prohibited. Only OEMs and MO are allowed to create them (and even they have a set of limitations).

We would not have even source code compatibility - as all our C++ apps have to be converted to .NET.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] freyberry:
What the heck? And you say that only now? What else is in there? Any word about how background tasks are handled? Please give us some more information, or maybe, can you upload that documentation?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] mamaich:
Obviously I cannot. As it would reveal the person who provided it.

Just to prove that such info really exists - see attached screenshots.

I really hope that the community would force MS to change such a dumb idea to limit independent software vendors to create only managed apps. Prohibiting C++ as a developing language, and "hiding" Windows API from programmer would force lots of developers to abandon this platform. The main reason of success of old WinMobile OSes was the ability to recompile "desktop" apps to WinMobile with just a minor set of changes (ANSI->Unicode + some interface changes).

P.S. I don't read PMs.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] freyberry:
Well, there's certainly a way to remove that information. But anyway, what about background tasks? Are third party applications allowed to run in the background?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] burnblue:
Wow, I can't believe noone has picked up on this
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] mamaich:
OS itself supports multitasking, see attach. But "Windows Phone OS 7.0 Application Platform" that we'll be forced to use to create apps may force our application to be paused in background. I never programmed Silverlight and XNA and can't tell how multitatsking is made in them.

WinPhone 7 == Zune Phone. Both are based on CE kernel, and they should have lots of common in implementation of multitasking, clipboard, etc.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] freyberry:
The question is, can we write applications that are not automatically suspended when sent to the background? What are the policies on this?

It says multiple processes can run at the same time, but it does not say whether they get suspended automatically.

Is there any info on this? Maybe in the "Scheduling" section?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] AuriRahimzadeh:
I’m not sure this is a big deal. I can see them saying a lot of native C++ apps may have compatibility issues. I could go either way on it with the limited amount of information I have on this. I’ll have a better opinion at and after MIX :)

Note that this could be old documentation, and it’s pretty annoying you're leaking confidential documentation. Personally, I hope you get into trouble for breaking your contract - they trust you and you're posting it? Yuck.

To be fair, though, every app we’ve written has been managed, and Microsoft hasn't t said P/Invoking is verboten, so what would be the problem?

There’s probably exceptions for games and the like, and the documents you've scanned even say a waiver is available to use the Native APIs. So I don’t know what you're complaining about…

Microsoft's dev teams have been listening to developers - why not get them to chime in and also give them a chance to hear you. Posting confidential Microsoft documents, assuming those are real, is not the way to get them to listen :)

Best,

-Auri
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] AuriRahimzadeh:
Personally, I like Android's approach to this, where Services can run in the background, but UI apps are allowed to be "put to sleep" while other apps run. But then again, we may see a lot of that come into play come MIX and "Answer Time" :)

Best,

-Auri
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] mknollman:
Well, I am now both excited and nervous -I think I will just cool my jets until MIX10 and just enjoy the eye candy for now. At worst - if the interface is nice, but the core is crap I am sure some of the boys here at xda will make us an inteface port for 6.5.x that acts and looks like the new hotness with the old compatibility. - lets see MIX
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] mamaich:
Docs are dated 2010.

I'm not leaking the documentation. I'm sharing the information that anyway would be opened in some days, maybe weeks.

And screens are posted here just as a confirmation of my words. You may think that these pics come from my mind and are made with photoshop - it is your opinion.

I really think that WinPhone 7 would be a failure similar to desktop Vista. Of cause some people would like it, but most would stay on WM 6.x and wait for the next version.

Regarding P/Invoke. As far as I've seen, "unsafe" operations are prohibited in XNA and Silverlight. Otherwise we would be able to call coredll funcs and run native apps (and do everything else that is allowed in our chamber).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] pongothemagnificent:
Mamaich any though of a WP7 ce6.0 bsp for all the current cortex A8 devices running on a ce5.2 bsp, will the new kernel support them natively or will extensive bsp/bootloader hacking be required?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GuestK00306:
P/invoke surely is a limitation of .NET CF, rather than Silverlight/XNA libraries?

I think it would be a bit stupid to remove P/Invoking, because it's just not realistic to rely on .NETCF alone which has soooo much stuff stripped out to minimize size.

Will we be seeing a whole new .NETCF so soon after 3.5? I highly doubt it...Unless MS have been working overtime the past year ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] joozzt:
Shame, time to stop mobile development altogether if this is true. When we developers are considered as dumb earning pipes for companies who in their arrogant big ways think they have all the wisdom, and app developers only make annoying software that makes their precious leaky OS'es crash, it's time to move on. i would have been talking about IPhone, Android etc, but sadly we must add Microsoft to the list also.

Then there's the $1195,- and airplane tickets we have to pay to get to the Mix2010 in oder to maybe maybe get to be a "partner" with access to limited native API's (probably only reserved for the big companies) and don't even bother talking about giving away 30% of our earnings to a company that last year made how many billions of profits was it ?

Time to start an XDA OS based on REAL Linux maybe ? NVidia have a nice dev-board available for $400,- with Tegra on it. That's what I call developer friendly.

Cheers !
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] vangrieg:
Regardless of how this will play out, I'm pretty sure of two things:

1. Closing down the OS may be beneficial for the majority of users by bringing stability, ease of use, UI consistency, etc. Even though I don't like it.

2. Because the OS itself is multitasking, any and all restrictions may be hacked around, and a "jailbreak" will be possible.

Depending on how this whole thing will be implemented, jailbreaking and using "illegal" apps may be a major PITA (think iPhone 3GS/tethered jailbreak) or as easy as a few registry tweaks/installing additional certs/whatever. If Apple didn't chase JB with every update it would be a rather good platform for both mainstream "ordinary" users and those who want rather unusual things from their phones.

We'll have to wait and see how it evolves really to make a final judgment.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] RustyGrom:
And that's a good thing IMO.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] geek111:
I think in that particular situation the original poster did get a credit refunded, but a couple other posters just resubmitted with a note to testers... So IDK.

It took my app two tries. But it was a lot less hassle than I planned for. I'm still not sure why it got rejected the first time. The information I received was cryptic at best. After filing a support request and getting a question or two answered, I made one minor change to the regex that parses phone numbers, crossed my fingers and resubmitted and it passed no problem. I will say also, the wait isn't bad. It took 9 days to get an answer the first time and only 3 after resubmission and that was for a Privileged Mode cert. Non-privileged applications can take less than a week to clear.

All in all, my experience with the Marketplace has been positive so far. I do think WP7 is going to bring a lot more users there as well. Which makes it a good place to homestead for now...

One recent change to note- Submitting the same binary to different markets no longer burns a submission credit. So I've got my app in two markets. (Hint to all Devs- Add Internationalization early, and resubmit to any additional markets you can folks!)

Also, minor version updates don't burn a credit (unless the app fails certification). So bugfix releases don't count against us.

cheers,

Charles
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] joozzt:
@vangrieg

1. totally agree, but also remember that all stability issues came from the likes of Samsung, LG, HTC etc. not from the app developers initially. Out of the box a WM phone was just unstable due to the immature modifications the manufacturers did to make the phone more modern as MS didn't do it. Streamlining hardware and drivers etc by MS is a really good step forward. Cutting off innovation in the bottom level however is a real deal-breaker.

2. resorting do jailbreaking is NOT something that a professional app developer can do.
