it's not the program. The IR hardware on XDA2 is not of commericial grade. The IR signal is too weak to be picked up by the TV IR receiver.
use novii remote. Its not free but it works for xda2
Novii Remote works?

hi, u mean u got XDA2 to work as a decent TV remote control?
care to share your experience?
I have used it (and actually helped them do some extensive beta testing to make it more compatible with the XDA II) and think it's "ok".
You are restricted to using their layouts but you can freely program them to what you like.
Range is rather limited tho. I can sit on my sofa and just about control the TV but the Sky box will not see the signal. I have to lean forward a couple of feet for it to pick up the signal.
I'd say it's effective range is nearly 6 feet.

Hey, I've to quote myself. I have just tested the Trial version and
it works!
The caveat is, that it must be level to the IR receiver, and I've only test it to a range of 2.5m (which is where my sofa is).

Has anyone used this software with the XDA? It looks awesome!
It says that if you have a device which uses the NMEA protocol to receive GPS signals then all you need is the software.
Is a GPS receiver built into the XDA? if not, whats the cheapest receiver that will work on the XDA that supports this protocol.
Cheers
I've been using it for about 7 months and it really is great.
It uses a seperate "mouse" receiver that powers the xda and gps from the cigar lighter in the vehicle. I'd definately recommend it to anyone.
You can also use it without the reciever (on foot, etc)
Wow, that cool I didn't realise you could use it on foot aswell.
So if you can use it without the receiver when on foot, how come you have to use a seperate reciever when in the car ? does it require a stronger signal or something ?
I have destinator but it stays in the box as its maps are nowhere near as good as tomtom, also tomtom wins for program usage, speech and the speed camera warnings free addon.

Without the receiver it becomes a map you can zoom, but that doesn't know where you are...

download the sdk?
can the developers here not do something with the sdk thing? i'vw no idea what it is but they mentioned developers?!
I downloaded the sdk from destinator site and with a bit of file juggling you can use it as a pc based/laptop voice navigation system using the maps from you destinator ppc version cd.

I want to play Power Point presentation using my Qtek 9100 on video projector ...
Does anybody know is there a way to do that ? Maybe using some accessory or bluetooth connection if present on projector?
Thanks
You can't
No I am afraid you can't do that.... they haven't given that possibility I really wonder why. When one pays so much this is the one thing that is really missing. A direct TV out.

For an additional $10, you'd expect it to fetch your newspaper
SOTI pocket controller
You can do this from the PDA via a PC hooked to the projector using Soft Object Technology's Pocket Controller. I bought it originally for my Wallaby, recently got a Wizard and am using it there now. Nifty application, you can do everything with the desktop image that you can do with the touchscreen, and I think it lets you record a movie of you doing stuff on the PDA.
More info here: http://www.soti.net/
Well worth the registration cost IMO

That's prety cool I'd get one to try but I keep my presentations on the SD card... LOL kinda hard to show the presentation if I have to take it out...heh. Currently I just transfer the presentation to someone's laptop and use theirs. Kinda "old tech" and not "high tech".

Maybe, why not... I am sure it would be more than 10 $!
I see that SpecTec has upgraded to 1024x768. Any other newer options out there?? Thanks!
BT?
I remember seeing that a projector supported bluetooth to transfer images. Wouldn't it be a solution for that, meaning you buy a bluetooth adaptor to hook to your projector and use the internal bluetooth to transmit your presentation? This way the SD port would remain available for the SD memory cards with the presentation.
If one finds it, please share...

I really wondering what you are 'lolz'-ing at. I'm not sure if you are ignorant or the Pakistan people (who sell the cords) are ignorant. As I have said a million time in this forum, getting the cable (cord) into a socket doesn't mean it works. You can connect a USB to 240V socket, doesn't mean you can charge your unit directly onto the phone (kids, dont try this at home).
How much do you understand about the USB connection, and the video connection (the yellow thing you've mentioned). Not to mentioned that one runs on digital and one runs on analog signal (at a different frequency), they probably runs at a different voltage anyway. And also, the fact that, a Wizard phone doens't have USB host to it, it wont do the job in the way you've mentioned.

I think it wont -- in the link you provided its said and showed that theres a usb receiver and it works in 2400ghz frequency--- basically the keyboard comunicates only with the usb thingy, that came with the keyboard!!!
NO IT WONT!!
except only if you make it bluetooth keyboard!!!
Moving this to Blackstone accessories!

Nah, actually I'm aware of that thingy, but that's not what I want. I want a hardware keyboard I can use in my hands or in my lap. This one requires a flat surface to work and that's not an option since I need to be able to use the keyboard in the car / plane / train / ferryboat etc. So I have excluded pretty much all foldable keyboards because they can't be used that way.
I also saw the Logitech diNovo mini keyboard, which looks awesome, but is just so damn expensive I figured I first try to find some kind of alternative. There are a few mini wireless keyboards available out there, but only Logitech and this Super Tiny have illuminated keys (also a must have for me) and can be used without flat surface.
Guess I'll have to go for Logitech then
You could try by using the veripart 3-in-1 converter, which will give you a USB-port, so you can stick the transmitter onto it...
But I don't know how to get the drivers onto your device then....
Grtz,
Degake
Look for the Think outside, or i-Go bluetooth keyboard. it's foldable but you can use it on your lap also. I have been using one for the past two years. fantastic device!!

Yeah, me too, but I'm still undecided. Mostly because the reviews I read weren't that great as I expected.
To be honest, if I'm going to pay 150 euros for a plastic keyboard, then I expect it will be fantastic, and judging by what I read, it's just not so great as one would think.
I own a lot of Logitech devices and have been using their keyboards / mices for years. I never regret paying top money for those gadgets, but I'm just not sure about this little thing. Unfortunately, none of the available reviews tested this keyboard as an attachment to PDA device - most were oriented to Windows Vista tv application / web browsing. So, I'll wait for someone here on the forums to get it and report
Well there is this on the same web site http://usb.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=00791&cat_id=034&dept_id=015

I'm very interested in it's functioning with HD. Can you test it in SMS / Opera / Word? See if there's a way for the soft keys to be controled via keyboard.
Also, general impressions would be most welcomed.

the main keys and dpad work fine on the dinovo mini, not sure about the soft keys will test
and let you know (though I think they don't)
How about the Freedom Slim Keyboard .. http://www.htcdepot.com/freedom-slim-keypad/9A55A5051.htm about the size of the HD and nice metalic feel to it.

Bt Keyboard pairs but no response from keypresses
Hi,
Hopefully someone can help me with this as I am rather stuck.
I got this keyboard http://www.iconuk.co.uk/Keyboards--Mice-&-Tablets/Bluetooth-Keyboards/Keysonic-Mini-Blutooth-Wireless-Keyboard-KB-ACK-595BT/p-1583-621-1758-4106/ - Keysonic KB-ACK-595BT.
So far I have only got it to work twice with the touch HD, where it connected and was quite happy typing and controlling windows mobile (typed a whole document quite happily). However, the 2nd time it took several attempts before it would work and now I can't seem to do it again.
As far as I can tell the keyboard is fine (connects to windowsXP without issue) but after paring with the Phone (which it accepts) there is no response from the key presses.
I've tried all sorts to get it to work, but no utility or attempts to change the stack or Soft/Hard resets seems to help. I've even upgraded the radio to 1.12.25.16 but made no difference. I think this must be a WM6.1 issue with BT paring but I'm out of idea on how to fix it.
It is driving me nuts though, since it worked twice so why doesn't it now? Can't find anyone else who has had a similar problem so stuck for ideas on what to try next.
Thanks in advance.
Tim.

Hi all
I'm looking for a compatible Bluetooth Mouse for the Transformer as addition to the Dock.
Who does already use a Bluetooth Mouse with the Transformer and which one?
Thanks
I use a small one.Bluetooth3.0, Working on TF very well. The name is :Newmen MS-173BT I don;t if you can get one. Because I'm from China...
Logitech v470
I bought an Inland Pro mouse from Fry's and it doesn't work well at all. It will pair and connect but after 5 minutes it disconnects and has to be paired again. Also putting the tablet in standby disconnects and it has to be paired again.
It is just useless.
Could someone try if right click works as right click in Pocket Cloud (or some other VNC app at least)?
It's not bluetooth, but i plugged the wireless trasmitter in and it works with the dock

Knowing linux it should register as a specific button number. So I hope it will work. I don't want to risk buying bluetooth mouse before I know (but probably will anyway, it doesn't cost a fortune anyway). Someone said his right mouse button works as back button on Xoom - it would be unfortunate.
PS. After consideration right click should be easily emulated anyway by long click, so I'll probably just buy a bluetooth mouse and check myself.
