I have searched for hours. I am developing an activesync client in order to send sms from PC to a phone that will send it. Specifically a windows phone. Previously I have used Jeyo mobile comp. I have all documentation I need but I can't find the default http address of the activesync server on the Windows phone when it is connected through USB. I should mention that I have a disability and can't access Windows phone itself. The OS is 6 but the whole point of creating the software is so I can upgrade. Many thanks!
alternatively if I am barking up the wrong tree, i need to know what tree to bark. for example serial ports. i would only need code to connect and read/write. otherwise is there a way to detect the information with csharp, ipconfig definitely isn't detecting windows mobile and activesync definitely works.
The question is a bit unclear. But Jeyo Mobile Comp is a remote control software for Windows Mobile (6.x, not Windows Phone 8 or 10).
Another free remote control software you my look at is Sparus EveryWan Remote personal edition (free). It can show the screen of Windows Mobile on your Windows PC and you can use the device remotely using the USB ActiveSync connection.
Another option is MyMobiler (also free).
The ActiveSync connection is made using the IP addresses 169.254.1.1 and 169.254.1.2 or 192.168.55.101/102, depends on Connection Setting:USB:Enhanced Network on device. You will find the IP when the device is connected to your PC, ActiveSync is connected and you start a Windows CMD prompt on the PC; then type "ipconfig" to get a list of IP addresses used by the PC. There will be your IP connected to the LAN/WAN and the one connected to Windows Mobile.
There is NO default http access to the Windows Mobile device.
If you are looking for a programming API, see RAPI at Microsoft (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa513321.aspx) or OpenNetCF Desktop Communication (https://rapi.codeplex.com/) support.

I'm developing a website in VS on a Windows Server Azure VM, and remoting in to do my work through Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac.
The website needs to access a webcam, but I don't have any webcam on the remote windows server!
Is there any way to allow the remote windows server where I'm developing to see my local webcam through Microsoft Remote Desktop, as my local machine is a Macbook Air?
Maybe there's another remote tool for Mac that will allow this? One I have to pay for?
Looking at the settings for Microsoft remote destop for Mac version 10.2.4 how can I set the local resources for USB connections? I don't even see a option for Usb device, just printers, clipboard and Smart cards.
All I see is this below with no options for USB connections
as of Dec 2018:
no, it is simply not possible with the latest Mac beta RDP Client
and a still open demand from user voice
The feature of USB redirection is part of so called RemoteFX and a feature of RDS.
From server side it is possible since Windows Server 2012, newer Versions improved it.
Windows Client (mstsc.exe or remote desktop client) support the USB and Video mapping for since ages, but of course negotiating with the server which features are possible and allowed.
this link gives a nice overview mosty without covering non-Windows:
https://workspot.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/214248563-Configuring-USB-Redirection-with-RemoteFX-in-Workspot
to be afraid, the MS Mac client only supports the usual redirections like audio, printer, clipboard and drive mappings.
there are obviously other RDP clients out there, with experimental USB and webcam redirecting:
at least there is freeRDP which may also run on a Mac
I'm manufacturing a device that connects to my computer using Bluetooth and then a desktop Java app uses the Bluetooth connection to send serial data to the device which is then displayed.
When I try to connect my device to windows 7 it successfully finds and pairs with it creating a Bluetooth link on a COM port. This link can then be used by a serial prompt (used for testing) or my Java application. It works initially however soon after windows drops the connection and the only way to reconnect is to delete the device within devices and printers and then reconnect.
This seems to be a known problem with windows bluetooth so I decieded to use a third party Bluetooth application. I downloaded and tried Toshiba's Bluetooth Stack and it was able to add a Bluetooth device and keep a stable connection which works great however this only works for Toshiba computers without getting a cracked version.
This device is commercial and can't be sold with cracked versions of software. Has anybody experienced the same problems or not in other operating systems and has any solutions of advice as that would be a tremendous help.
This is not a good idea/method to use the COM ports generated by Windows, it's not working fine and not reliable in any scenario ; you should use Bluetooth Sockets instead.
Using Toshiba or Widcomm or BleuSoleil won't help: under Win7, all dongles are now trying to use the Microsoft Stack, not their own implementation.
I found Network Sharing on Win8 mobile. (nokia Lumia)...I am trying to write similar application for Win8. But could not find any support on windows website. On Nokia website also, all I could find is how to turn on, but nothing else.
So, I have a lot of questions in my mind:
Is Network sharing is even supported by Windows or is it Nokia that has their own app to do this?
How this network sharing works? Are we tethering WLAN or something else?
Is it possible to write a similar app with the existing Win8 mobile APIs provided?
Does it use DNSMasq? ( I am assuming it is)
Is there any possible way to find the installed apps and the app structures in Win8 phone, like we have in android phones.
Network sharing is fully implemented by WP8 OS but it is under tight control from your cellular operator. You need to pay extra to enable "tethering" (here in USA). The cellular connection (4G, LTE) is then shared and your phone turns into Wi-Fi access point for other devices. When I try to enable network sharing on my HTC 8X (I am not paying for tethering), the screen flics with Wi-Fi details - tells me Wi-Fi broadcast name, password and number of guests connected - and then one second later I get a dialog from T-Mobile to go online and add tethering to my phone plan.
See above.
No, I don't think it is possible. As an app you don't have any control over network configuration.
I'd assume it provides NAT, DHCP and DNS forwarding. I don't think it uses DNSMasq code directly though. :-)
For privacy reasons you can't get a list of installed apps. Only when you are writing apps for enterprises (that don't go through Microsoft Store), you can list other apps signed with the same enterprise key. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/jj207245.aspx.
I want to capture distances from sensors, using an Arduino and a Windows Phone device. How can I do that?
The Windows Phone 7 SDK does not give access to the USB port or Bluetooth on the phone, so you can't use that. So I think the best way (and probably only way on Windows Phone 7) would be to communcate over Internet or local network with the Arduino acting as a server which the Windows Phone 7 app connects too.
Here are some examples of an Arduino web server and TCP server.
For the Windows Phone client I would check out either WebClient or sockets.
Windows Phone 8 SDK:
Consider establishing an App to Device communication through Bluetooth API which became available for developers in the release. Bluetooth App to Device application sample, available on MSDN, is the way to go.
There is another option in Windows Phone 8, using Proximity (a set of classes which works with NFC), which is more applicable for a short range communication.
As for Arduino, there is certainly a Bluetooth module.
Windows Phone 7 SDK:
No way to establish a peer-to-peer communication with a third party device. A workaround would be to connect them through a network, as was proposed by Johan.
I have actually made a Windows Phone 8 App that connects to an Arduino using the Sparkfun Bluetooth Silver Modem. Issues is, even after I get them connected, I can't get either the Arduino to receive the input OR I can't get the WP8 App to successfully send to the Arduino...
My GitHub for the project is: https://github.com/lanceseidman/Arduino-Bluetooth-WinPhone8
Hoping everyone can try and help on the project.
My Breadboard photos will be up soon and my Arduino Code.
I have a device connected to my Windows 7 desktop pc via an Ethernet cable. My aim is to remotely view the device and control it from my pc. I have had this running on an XP computer but not on a Windows 7 machine. I have researched online to download Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Cente which I have done. I can load the ActiveSync software however the two devices are not communicating on the remote viewer. I have also entered the correct IP addresses on both my desktop computer and Windows CE device.
Thanks in advance for anyone that can help me out.
I have sorted this problem by downloading Windows Mobile Power Tools . Once I had downloaded this I ran the Active Sync Remote Display (ASRDisp.exe).
N.B I have to load Active Sync first and click ignore when the warning message appears, then I have to turn the device on.
I know, this is old, answered question.
Still, if anybody need answer for this doubt:
I have a WinCE device connected to my Windows 7 desktop pc via an Ethernet
cable. My aim is to remotely view the device and control it from my
PC.
