I spotted this at the Jeyo website.

    * Built-in support for iTunes, Windows Media Player or WinAMP playlists

This app kicks serious ass . . . shame i don't have the funds to buy the full version! -

This thing lets you control the mouse for god's sake - ahhh if only all days were like these

[Guest Seraphic]

I'll give this a try tonight when I get home, if its really good I'll probably buy it.

[Guest Driekus]

Can't get it to work. Program is immediately closed down by XP when I try to start up the PC-side. I very briefly (2 seconds) have control over WMP, but almost instantly I lose connection. I tried un- and reinstalling, but that didn't help. Is there anyone who has got this running on XP without problems? In that case I must be doing something wrong here. It seems pretty straightforward though, with the windows installer and all.

[Guest Confused Stu]

OK, so am I being stupid here? What's the difference really between this software and Kingherc's freeware in the downloads section:

I've been using this for over a year and it perfectly replicates keyboard presses, mouse movements and other stuff. I appreciate the Jeyo is smarter to look at - but Kingherc's one's FREE!!!! ;)

[Guest MitchellO]

I had a mouse control app for my sony t610. It was free and worked great!

Wish this app supported WM2002 for Smartphone. Just bought a cheap imate smartphone on ebay. Then again, it doesn't have BT!

Nice looking app though.

First time I ran the program, Windows Firewall (XP Pro SP2) asked if I want to Block or Unblock Jeyo from running. I chose Unblock.

The Jeyo app is better because it actually works, its got a nice interface and its great for use with apps like iTunes, etc.

@Seraphic

You happen to know the trial version's limitation/s? For how long will the demo version run?

it appears to have no limitations - and the program reports end of trial when i edit some settings then works as usual - so in answer to your question . . . . i don't know.

Couple of probs with it. Both concerning media player.

The playlists don't update when you change them. you may select a new playlist but the list of songs within it don't change.

And when you close media player using the PC it'll keep playing in the background untill you use the remote to stop it . . . but even then you can start it again without opening media player. Im not sure i like that.

Try it with iTunes - I hate Apple products usually (including the iPod) but iTunes is great.

[Guest Goatie]

This program rules. Got it to work perfectly. I don't know how I'm limited by the trial version, it does all I want it to do fine.

As i say in a post above this software's trial seems to kick up a fuss when i changed a setting, but appart from that i have had no limit imposed on me. . . . is there anyone able to tell us if there is anything we can expect from the full version?

With the minor problems i've been finding, and being reminded how unstable bluetooth is, im not sure if i'd pay for this now . . . its a great program, but im sure that the novelty will ware off soon.

Thanks for the info bluesmudge.

on the PC side, check the 'about' section; it's a 14 day trial, I presume unlimited use until that time. It works perfectly for me, using winamp and mouse control. Pretty certain I'll buy this one.

[Guest C00LH4ND]

I used this on my s700i in recent presentations... It was great looking at the confused looks from the audience as to how I managed to flip Powerpoint slides without returning to my PC when all I had in my hand was my mobile...

I Really rate this app as one my the most useful mobile phone apps

Powerpoint control is what I'm after (although iTunes control would be nice too).

Does anyone know if this program is limited to working with the Microsoft Bluetooth stack? I tried the one in the downloads section but I have a Widcomm driver with my TDK Bluetooth card so it wouldn't connect.

[Guest Chiz]

Did I read correctly somewhere that this app can be used to send SMS from your PC via your phone or is that another Jeyo product?

Thanks

If you have a windows smartphone 2003 device you could try the free Powerpoint Remote by Ruttensoft. It works for me, and I use a stick on Widcomm stack.

Thanks for the pointer. I took a look at the Ruttensoft page you linked to.

It looks a bit unwieldy.

Do you really have to connect to Activesync, then start the server, then start the client on the phone, then enter the IP address, then select a presentation file before you can use the remote control?

I was expecting something like the built in utility in Sony Ericsson phones that just lets you run the client app and you take control.

Do you have to do all those steps every time or they just for first time config?

[Guest Driekus]

I believe it found the IP address by itself. I don't remember entering it into the program. And you do not have to re-enter it everytime you start up the program (maybe if you use it on different servers you do). You do have to connect over activesync and start the server (just runs in the background) and the client of the program. The client than starts up PowerPoint with the presentation of your choice (You first have to "upload" it's location on your harddisk into the server. It works OK. I agree that the client does not look very flashy, but to me that's not really a problem. I have used the program you were mentioning in your earlier post (the one in the download section), which controls winamp and WMP as well with another bluetooth stick, and looks better (shows title and number of slides, as well as the total number of slides I believe), which I personally think is better. But you would probably need a different BT stick for that one.

A little off topic, but...

That is Jeyo Mobile Companion that allows you to send SMS from your computer via activesync. It will also allow you to manage your contacts, SIM card, SMS, and give you some device info as well as take screen shots, and install .cab and .hme files directly to the phone.

[Guest Chiz]

Thanks gryph0n

[Guest simpled]

Am I missing something... can you control Media player's volume with this app?

[Guest mm2ha]

Does anybody know how to control the system sound with this application? I am able to control the sound withing iTunes and PowerDVD, but I just cannot get the control of the system's sound to work. Thanks a lot for help!
