Hi,

I've tried all the RDP clients that I have found on this website but I can't seem to find one that does full screen in horizontal mode?

Anybody got RDP to work full screen in landscape mode?

Regards,

Kevin


Logmein does Horizontal but it doesn't use RDP.

The huge animated clock seems to have gone from my homescreen and it has been replaced with a smaller startic one with standard numbers, I have tried disabling and re-enabling the item but it comes back just the same. I also seem to have an extra 2 mystery accounts on the mail tab but there is no name attached to them and it just says no messages.

Does anyone know what could be causing this or how to fix it?

Thanks

Chris

Yeah, the guy I spoke to mentioned something about my existing Orange number - it's an old contract / PAYG that I've not used for years but apparently it helps get it through the check. All very strange.


Well it turns out that it was a bit more sinister than them not passing the existing number through. Orange royally cocked up with me this month and added a bundle but didn't activate it which caused me to have a bill of over £1000 for data usage.

They have said sorry and sent it off for recalculation but when the credit referral people saw the huge invoice they thought I was trying to pull a fast one and get a new contract. So I have had to call customer services and get them to note my account and now mobiles are trying to get them to look at it again.

I will also be contacting Orange after it's all over and demanding they remove the THREE credit searches they have run so far!

God, these mobiles.co.uk guys are good.

I got an email advising my order had been placed. This was soon followed by another saying may order had been cancelled as I'd failed the credit check. I rang them to query this as there's no way I can fail one of those things. I spoke to a really nice chap who sorted it out and said my order would now go through. Five minutes later another email says my phone is in the warehouse awaiting dispatch. Talk about quick service! biggrin.gif


Thanks Rameses, I got declined too, which I thought was strange as I'm on creditexpert and my score is classed as good. I had just put it down to the fact I have just bought a house and started a new job. After seeing your post I gave them a call. Even though I had put down my existing orange number they had passed the search to orange without it and that often means that they will fail you. She said it's almost 100% that it will pass if she re-runs the search with the number so she's trying it now and is going to let me know. fingers crossed.

So the news was broken at Engadget Mobile earlier. Skyfire is a new web browser for Windows Mobile 5 and 6 devices. Smartphone or Touchscreen, it can do video, multimedia, etc. YouTube without hacks, and much more. I'm totally excited and would LOVE a copy, but for now (without a code at least), all you can do is sign up to be on a waiting list for the beta.

Don't suppose anyone snagged a copy yet, did you? wink.gif


Just made a post about this in the news section. I saw it over on engadget and rushed over here thinking that it would be all over the forums already and hopefully that there would be a version I could grab.

However I have a feeling that even if someone had got hold of the .cab file you probably need a valid account for it to work. Everything is rendered server side so I presume that it will use some kind of login, which probably requires an account with a valid US mobile number sad.gif

Checking the Boy Genius site shows that all of the posts regarding this roadmap have suddenly vanished?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me.

I remotely access my home network using RDP and logmein. I have 2 machines connected using WI-FI through an Orange Livebox to the internet.

Occasionaly the connection between the machine and the router will drop ( I think I'm getting interferance as I live in a block of flats.) A restart of the pc usually sorts this but without any net connection I can't do anything until I am in front of the machine.

What I want to be able to do is leave a PPC connected to my desktop at home and use it as a back up modem so that in the event of dropped connectivity via wi-fi the pc can resort to GPRS or 3G connectivity to the net. I don't want to leave the modem connected 24/7 and I only want it to connect when needed.

The most realistic way I can think of doing this is by sending an SMS to the device with a command which will initiate the connction.

I know it must be physically possible to get this to happen it's just finding the application to run on the device that will listen for the command and make the connection.

I have seen devices installed in Vans that are used as tracking devices the sim is in a datacard and when it receives a sms the command is passed to the hardware to get the data and then connect via gprs and upload and update

Is there anything available already that will help me with my situation and if not how realistic is it to develop something simple that will work in the way I want?

I really appreciate in advance any help with this.

Thanks

OH COME ON !
Please tell us whats happening, I'm all set up and ready to go when they launch a decent data plan. Go on just a hint at least.. will I be able to turn on my push email without worrying?


There isn't much more info that I know. Mid october is what I understand to be when a new data package will become available.

I don't know if it will work with the new 'points' system they have going either.

I have a feeling it won't be as exciting as many of us had hoped. the wnw unlimited 7.50 bolt on operates at a loss and there is no chance they will try anything as rogue as that.

Don't blame me if we're still sat here twiddling are thumbs in the middle of next month either. lol

Has anyone been able to use Blackberry Connect on a WM5 PPC or Smartphone to connect to a BES?

My company keeps its Exchange server behind a firewall and a VPN is required to connect to it. Even the OWA client can only be reached via VPN. The company does not support Exchange push email as they have standardised on Blackberry. I could get a Blackberry but I don't want to have to carry and charge yet another device.

I would like to be able to connect my XDA Exec (on O2) to the company BES (company Blackberries are on Vodafone). If that's not possible I could buy a new data contract with a different operator or even a different WM5 device (TyTN?) if needed.

I just don't want to replace my Universal with a Blackberry!

Can anyone advise me?


Does your exec have blackberry connect installed? If you have blackberry connect on the device you will be able to connect it to your companys BES it doesn't matter which network you are on as BES isn't network specific. you just need to make sure you have been added to the BES server and use the blackberry application on your desktop to activate it.

I have a feeling however the exec didn't come with blackberry connect, and I don't know if O2 have made it available

This is why having a blackberry for personal use is much easier under T-mobile than with Orange.. I have setup 2 BB 's for my mum and dad and all they pay is a total £30.00 a month ...data only plan.. all their hotmail/yahoo emails comes through the T-mobile server ..to their BB. easy.... wink.gif


The Personal or 'internet' version of Blackberry may well be cheaper on orange too but if t-mobile are anything like vodafone you will only be able to register real Blackberry devices on the instant e-mail internet service. So Blackberry connect devices such as the Hermes can only work against a BES and need the more expensive enterprise version of BlackBerry.

Unless you already have Blackberry and move to a Blackberry device there really is no point using the Blackberry connect feature if you can use SP2 and MSFP for free. Another big benefit of the Activesync push solution.

Just off the phone with Vodafone. They still have no news regarding the new price plans which are introduced tomorrow morning. She was really honest with me but she said, nothing has leaked as yet.

I will bring my packaging with me tomorrow morning, when they don't have better price plans with MB allowance, I shoot over to Tmob to get the Vario and W&W.

I just hope i can take my number with me. Not sure if Vodafone will issue me a PAC.


Vodafone have indicated to us it will be October before anything is launched...

You need Blackberry "enabling" on your sim to enable you to talk to the blackberry gateway....bit of a pain really cos with a normal data connection it should just work I reckon!
grr


You're at the mercy of orange here you do need the Blackberry APN provisioning to your number as the connect software can only talk to the BlackBerry infrastructure (or RIM Relay as it used to be known) via the Blackberry.net APN

However even if Orange didn't have a problem with adding you would need to pay for it as you're not charged per megabyte with BB it's a subscription based service and expect to pay around £30 to £35 a month

You could try calling them and tell them you bought a blackberry and need the service enabling, but like I say it'll cost you.

If you are using exchange on your device you need to setup exchange in Outlook as well, right? So ALL emails you send from your device OR from Outlook on your desktop/laptop will appear to originate from mail2web, right???


The free version of mail2web exchange doesn't allow you to use your Outlook client to connect to the service so you will have to use their own web interface. Which means unless you upgrade to the version you pay for you're e-mails will come from the .mail2web.com domain
