[Hero CDMA General] unCoRrUpTeD:
THIS IS NOT COMPLETE....

My intention of this thread is to provide what I have done so far to try and get this working. After I can get it all working I will work on a user interface for Windows.

I have dyndns and PicMe setup on my phone I am able to connect to my phone with PicMe by typing http:\\my-hero.kicks-ass.org into my address bar. The reason for it is that Sprint will change your IP address and everytime you wanted to access your phone you would have to type in the IP address that you currently have. Now all you have to do is remember one addess.

After installing these 2 programs I created a shortcut to both of them on one of my homescreens so that I can easily disable them as they will both eat up your battery.

There is a VNC binary for Android, but the kernel for our phone needs to be modified and additional libs need to be added for it to work properly. I am looking into this so you would not need to install an app for it to work.

SETUP DYNDNS

This will allow you to specify an address that you can remember and your phone will then update the online server to your current IP address

--How to set it up--

1) Go to http://www.dyndns.com

2) If you have an account log in, if not click here

3) Once you verify your email, log in to the site and under My Services there should be a sub category named my hosts. Click on my hosts and click on Add New Host.

4) Setup a Hostname-This can be whatever name you want as you will type this in instead of the phones IP address. Also choose a domain name (example: My-Hero.kicks-ass.org)

Keep Service Type as Offline hostnames

Ip Address can be left blank

Select remote file access as What you will use this host for

Click on ADD TO CART

Click NEXT

Click Activate Services

5) Now on your phone download dyndns from the market

6) Once its done open it up and got settings and change all of these

Update domain: members.dyndns.org (once you start typing it should let you select it

Hostname: Type in the full hostname you created (my-hero.kicks-ass.org)

Username:What you used to setup your account

Password:The password you used when setting it up

You can leave the bottom 2 unchecked if you want

7) Press your back button and click Start. After a couple of seconds it should detect your IP address and display under Status. If not make sure everythings is typed just as it was when you set it up on the website.

8) I created a shortcut to this app on my homescreen so that i can easily access it to turn it off and on as it will update the server and will reduce your battery life.

To test it out...

Download PicMe from the market and once installed open it up and Click Accept. It should then start trying to connect to its server. Mine connects and then close the app, but it is still running.

Now back on your computer open up whatever browser you use and type in http:\\xxxxxxxxx-where this is the hostname you created. You must type http:\\ for it to connect using PicMe. On the right side of your browser window should be 3 options (Static, Live, Live standalone) Click on Live and give it a couple of seconds. In order to use this, your phone can not be sleeping.

I am working on getting ftp to work though my 3g connection, but have not been able to yet.

I have tried swiFTP and FTP Server. It connects to my phone, but then gives an error right before it fully connects to allow file transfers.I am looking for someone to help out if they know anything about this.
