Click on the computer you want to access and the URL https://secure.logmein.com/connect_axtest.asp comes up, logme in will hang displaying a white screen instead of asking for the user name and password, click on the address and replace axtest for mozilla so the address will be https://secure.logmein.com/connect_mozilla.asp and hit enter, in the next screen LogmeIn may ask if you want to install the plugin, just click Skip, and you are done.
Logmein uses the mozilla Java not ActiveX.
This means you can use the slider to zoom in and get a better resolved image to read those hard to see small fonts. If you play around with the LogMeIn zoom and the slider bar together you should be able to get the resolution you want
but the TP2 comes with a fully featured version of remote desktop?
I've used both and RD is definately the better performance wise, just wondering why you'd choose logmein over it?

Maybe it's my age, but one of the PCs I want to control has a 1920 x 1200 display and the text is really. really, small and difficult to read on the TP2. This option lets you zoom in. Also the font on RDP gets a bit screwed up betimes.
My version of the TP2 didn't have RDP, I got a CAB from this great forum to remedy that.
I agree with Tomo. RDP isn't always the best solution especially going cross-platform. I access several OSX, Ubuntu, and Windows interfaces using Logmein which also helps to solve the dynamic IP issues on some systems. While RDP is faster, it also leaves out a lot of control. The Opera browser workaround is ok but I still use the WM client since I get a better refresh and I can also adjust zoom properly with the WM Client.

How do you manage the zoom?
fair enough. I actually also use logmein so am not an rdp fanboy.
I actually like the way LMI handles multiple monitors etc.
Thanks!
Hey Tomo,
thanks, it works pretty fine. I searched all day long for a solution like this.
bye
Hey,
Nicely played Sir.
It seems to work well with Opera 9.7, if it's only Java maybe we can get it working on other devices as well, Symbian? or Opera mini or skyfire? hmh...
Thanks!

I did as you say above and get to the point where I enter my login info, but then it bounces me back to the blah, blah, blah message about "...A Windows Pocket PC 2003 or newer device...." and wants me to download the CAB file again.
I never see the "connect_axtest.asp". The URL I'm seeing / overwritting is https://secure.logmein.com/connect_ce_check.asp could that be my issue?
Please advise...

I can't get it to work either. I get the same https://secure.logmein.com/connect_ce_check.asp page rather than the page referenced above. I changed the link above to /connect_mozilla.asp and I got further than before. I got to the password login for the computer and I was able to select remote control. But when I selected remote control, I was taken to the same page telling me to download the CAB file.

Do I have to use 9.7 or will 9.5 work. With 9.5 i've gotten all the way to the PC login but then I only get a white screen that says simply "ip mismatch". On the PC it shows that a connection has been made though.

If I remember correctly, I used IE first (full IE not pocket) using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=198923&stc=1&d=1245870498 to switch, it allows you to toggle between IE and PIE. Then downloaded the LogMeIn CAB. This is a one time only operation. Do this and then try the Opera fix. If this solves the problem I will amend the post to include it.
I am runing WM 6.5 with Opera 9.7.
No problem loging in with Java, it is a bit slower then ActiveX on IE.
I dont have 9.5 to try as it dose not have my local Lang support.

I'm pretty much in the same situation. I'm running Opera 9.5 and I really don't want to install the 9.7 Beta.
Speaking of the Opera 9.7 Beta, how stable is it? The last update was over a month ago. Are they're any release date rumors??
Bump it up.
I think that is a problem with the PC, try connecting on a normal PC to LOGMEIN..
Anywho I am using this method for some 2-3 weeks now and it works 100% on a daily basis..

Anyone here use Logmein.com for remote desktop? I can't seem to get it to work.
if it's like on my hermes, logmein only works with PIE...Pocket Internet Explorer
No way to make it work with opera browser
The first time you log in with PIE it will suggest to install a .cab and next time you will log in you will be able to see your PC desktop...
hope this helps
Yeah, I installed the CAB but from PIE it refuses to launch the app when I log into the computer. Anyone else have this issue? I'm guessing it may require a patch or something.

did you perform a soft reset after cab install?
did you check your logmein psw?
sorry, no other ideas...
I'm also looking for a solution. I think something changed in Internet Explorer and doesn't load Logmein plugin.
try another free vnp solution...like net.viewer or REALVNC FREE
I have also problems with LMI
I am a long term LogMeIn user and I have also problems with my TP2. I can get to the point where I can choose Remote Control from the list but after that nothing happens. I have tried everything with cab installation - for nohing.
I had HTC Touch Pro earlier and it had some issues, too. I could establish a connection to remote desktop but I could not authenticate.
Before TP I had TyTN II and it worked fine. I have also have Qtek 2020, Qtek 9090, Qtek 9000 and HTC Advantage x7500 and they have also worked OK.
If someone can help us with this, it would be the greatest!!!
I'm bumping this up again to see if anyone has issues with Logmein.com . So far there is no fix. I think PIE isn't referencing the remote app so you can't even authenticate. Anyone have any ideas?
I had the same issue - and I was assuming it was because of the new IE - Logmein needs to fix its viewer to work with new IE
CHfish
OK, I found a fix. We need to download IE Toggle 1.1 and then set up IE to run as PIE. This will downgrade the browser and it will allow Logmein to work. Unfortunately I lost the link to the file so please google it.
OK, here's the fix link. Apparently people that had IE issues had the same problem.

Urm, yeah - as above, credit to whtrbt7for providing solution. LMI on WM is free, so try it for yourself!
Credit should go to Codyppc on treocentral forums since he developed the IE Toggle app. It fully works after you've followed my directions.
I have a wierd problem with logme in. I installed IE Toggle and was running IE under PIE mode. Log Me in loaded fine and it even came with username/password screen on Win Server 2003 R2. When I try to enter my password through the QWERTY keyboard, nothing types in the password screen. Backspace works but it will not let me type anything in the password screen.
You seem to be having the keyboard issue that some users have. Here's the fix:
use this app called kfortouchpro:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IUL92CPS
or if you want to just use the hardware keyboard for everything:
Registry edit:
[HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e001 0409]
(MS IME mode)
Ime File = \windows\compime.dll
Layout Text = COMP IME
-or-

I also have problems with my pro2 and logmein....
the ie toggle 1.1 does not work, i can install the app but i can´t find it to start??! program folder?
Logmein runs with ie6 and pro2, but it´s not so comfortable as using with pie.
(logmein with ie6: goto settings in ie6 and set the view to desktop, goto settings in logmein and change activex into java).
My old XDA using pie and logmein was perfect to control.(logmein for pda and using activex).
Hi Folks,
How realistic is this? Ie to remotely log in to a server and do something sensible like restart a web instance on IIS or whatever or am I being too ambitious? Some colleagues think I should stick with netbooks/laptops.
If realistic what would you recommend ie RDP, LogMeIn etc...?

I frequently use RDP on my TP2 to access servers (and LogMeIn for workstations). RDP is a joy to use with the high resolution on the TP2. When I first started using it, I tried impressing my girlfriend with its capabilities, but she didn't give a ****. So, it's nice to finally tell someone who does!
I always though RDP was a little anemic. Is it still that way? One of the best things about logmein was the ability to set it and forget it even with dynamic IP addressing. Also it's easy to install for people that need help on their desktops or servers. The other applications I have tried are PCAnywhere which is nice but a pain if dynamic IP is present, also RealVNC which worked great but had issues with performance as well as interoperability between OSs. Any others out there that might be nice? I need to connect with OSX, Windows XP/Vista, and also Ubuntu.

Its friggen convenient when I'm out somewhere and realise OMG I forgot to tell Media Center to record XYZ. I can remote into home and schedule it.
Kinda impressive to see the Vista orb 5mm high!
I've been using RDP since my I got my Universal. Its great. Love it! Just make sure you have your stylus handy!
I use SSH to connect to linux and windows machines. In addition I tunnel VNC if I want to have the full desktop instead of a command line.
"The other day Java made a version of JavaFX available for download for Windows Mobile Phone devices. JavaFX is intended to bring more rich media content to phones and since JavaFX can be cross platform (PC, Mac, BlackBerry…everything except the iPhone since Apple may never approve of it) developers can make applications one time and they can run on these platforms natively. Windows is the first mobile platform to have a release of JavaFX. The package contains 4 demos. A Twitter client, a simple calculator, a photo viewer and a little application where your finger makes a ripple and the fish follows it.
So for the first time developer’s can start to work on developing JavaFX applications and have a real mobile testing platform. Of course you can run any other Java app through this as well (I tested it with Google Maps java and it ran fine). The download and additional release notes are located here."

Hmm, I don't know. JavaFX is much, much, much slower with Opera Mini on my Touch Pro than jbed. The font seems a little nicer, though. I think it uses antialiasing.
Interesting app.
Worked fine but....
Could not install file from memory, only by internet, that worked.
Installed Gmail as test. Continuallyl, said there was no internet connection with Wifi and Active sync.
After fiddling with it. I decided to remove JavaFx. After that many strange things happened.
Had to hard reset. :-(

How is the Twitter App? Just asking as I tend to shy away from java apps on my device because I never really had much success with them running properly.
I'm now running Opera Mini in JavaFX rather than JBED. I like it better.
Does anyone know the correct syntax to make a shortcut to automatically run Opera Mini (rather than start JavaFX and choose Opera Mini from the list)?
With JBED it was "\windows\jbed.exe" -run s0_

The "from storage" option doesn't seem to work, but it's easy enough to just install java apps in the usual manner, as JavaFX makes itself the default JVM. Click on the JAD file in a web browser and it'll install fine.

I use remote desktop from my tilt2 to manage a data center.
I have several annoying issues. I would like to know if any of you have a solution for:
1) I need to ability to /admin or /console into the server.
2) ZOOM into the remote desktop session.
3) Switch to landscape and portrait while maintaining screen ratio.
A freakin Iphone can do this. It can't be that difficult to get this to work on windows mobile 6.5. Does anyone know how to modify the remote desktop client to achieve this? Or write a new remote desktop client?
Using another solution that requires an agent to be installed on the server is not an option. Also, using shadow is not an option.
Thank You!
ya go an pay for VNC
Though it isn't related to remote desktop mobile, if you can SSH in to your data center, you could always try pocket puTTY.
Like I said I don't want to install anything on my servers. I want to use the built in remote desktop solution on the windows server on port 3389.
This currently works I just can't zoom in from my tilt2, and can't connect to console session. Also no ability to save connections as "favorites". Very limited RDP client. Seems someone would have developed a custom RDP client for WINMO since RDP is the #1 method for maintaining a windows infrastructure.

Open remote desktop, make your connection, then on the server run tscon.exe 0. This will connect you to the console session.
I typically start my rdp sessions with the keyboard slid out, so that I can use it for logins and so I can put my device down while I am working and still see the session. So I have not flipped back and forth.
What would be even more useful is if I could get a bt mouse/keyboard to work with the Tilt2....still searching for that fix. RDP without a mouse is a bit of a bummer.

You could try Bluemouse. It's a program which allows HID compliant bluetooth mice and keyboards to work on your device. But use the trial before you buy it, since I'm not sure it'll work due to the Widcomm bluetooth stack used by the TP2.
bump this, Is there a way to get the slider bar to zoom in and out of a RDP connection. Also, people are saying to pay for VNC, is VNC better does it support zooming with the zoom bar or does it support zooming in general. My desktops resolution is 1920x1080. I had a app on the iphone called jaadu and it worked perfectly with ultra vnc. It supported zooming and panning.
Remote Desktop
All we need to fix the Remote Desktop problem on the Tilt2 is for someone to modify the zoom slider so that it zooms not only on web or photos but on Remote Desktop as well. Should be simple!
I use RealVNC, which is great, but I saw another VNC program that allows drag scrolling (instead of scrollbars) to view the rest of the screen. I'll look up what program that was.
In the meantime, watch this YouTube video of Remote Desktop on the HD2. It looks very nice!! But I wonder if it is a feature of Windows 7 that has that interface, or a new RD app. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFiDZ_wBAtM
edit: That other app is called MochaVNC. Really cool features!
Very nice! Exactly what I am looking for except I don;t have an HD2. I have a Tilt2. There has to be a way to make that work with the Tilt2 using scroll bars instead of the "pinch to zoom"
Right, exactly what I love about it! I have a Touch Pro 2 (same as you, but on Verizon), and although we don't have multi-touch, the scrollbars would be great.
I was looking for this exact thing. Zooming with the zoom bar would be fantastic.
Also, does anyone know if I can connect using L2TP on the default client?
Has anybody tried the HD2 version of Remote Desktop to see how it behaves?
Update:
Here is a copy of Remote Desktop Mobile from LEO ROM 1.48.405.2 (WWE). I don't know if this is the one with 'pinch to zoom' or not.
It is in OEM format copied from \SYS\.
Its not working. I looking for the same solution with a small navigation window :/ and cant find any. Someone know from where we can get the same Remote Desktop Control with small navigation window ?
I use T2 Remote Touch which you can find thread here.
I have paid for the pro version, but you can also use a free version. Hope you find this helpful.
I'm not sure how many people are aware, but the HTC Leo (aka HD2) has a remote desktop client app that has more features than the old WM6 one that is floating around on XDA. Basically, it gives pinch-to-zoom and screen panning. Although the Touch Pro 2 can't pinch-zoom, we do have the handy-dandy zoom bar at the bottom. Since zooming still goes through SmartTouch (I think), there's a chance that the zoom bar might be interpreted correctly if this special version of Remote Desktop worked on the TP2. It might not, but it's worth a try.
So I downloaded the cab from here and installed it. However, when I ran Remote Desktop it just said it wasn't a valid Pocket PC application. :-(
Has anybody else dug into this? Does the LEO have a newer build of WinMo than TP2? (I'm using MightyROM which is based on Sprint's latest 6.5 ROM). Under Software Information in manila, it says 5.2.21889 (21889.5.0.87).
Zoom and pan would be so awesome -- if I could get this to work!

Actually my Tmo US TP2's stock 6.5 ROM came with a remote desktop client installed (I haven't played with it yet), the icon looks like the HD2's, but I don't know how to check the version to compare...? If it's the same, or even if you want to just test this one out, let me know how I can extract it for you and I'll be happy to pass it along.
Well I just installed this version on my spare TP2 and about to install the Zoombar, will let you know how it works out. I think Pinch to Zoom is software not hardware, but I dont know, someone can correct me if Im wrong.

Well yes and no lol. Traditionally pinch to zoom has been only possible on capactive touchscreens (HD2, iphone, Nexus 1, Droid, and a few others), and never on resistive screens (everything else), because of the physics behind how the two types of screens work.
However, THIS article describes some recent and pretty damn remarkable efforts to bring some of that multitouch magic to resistive screens too
Okay Well thats why I said I could be wrong But I know opera has the double tap to zoom in, so I was hopefull LOL. But anyway getting back to the post, I ran into the same problem with the app saying it wasnt a win pc app, dont know why, but based on the video I was watching this is the same version that the TP2 Generic Roms (SEA, EU, etc) come with. I installed the Zoombar Plus, and all it would do is scroll thru the start menu or the windows explorer screen, no zooming in.
Sorry

Actually my Tmo US TP2's stock 6.5 ROM came with a remote desktop client installed (I haven't played with it yet), the icon looks like the HD2's, but I don't know how to check the version to compare...? If it's the same, or even if you want to just test this one out, let me know how I can extract it for you and I'll be happy to pass it along.

The difference would be that it has some sort of Zoom and Pan feature. It may be that the "pinch" gesture is required, but it may also be that just any sort of zooming signal will work. Remember that pinch-zoom is implemented by HTC themselves. I'm guessing that the zoom signal is still handled by SmartTouch.dll, which is the same DLL that handles the TP2's zoom bar. If the zoom signal is the same, then how you get it to zoom is immaterial. In other words, if this ever works (and that's a big "if"), the zoom bar might be able to give us nearly the same zoom functionality as pinch zooming in remote desktop.

I'm the author of ZoomBarPlus and I can tell you that it will add no zooming functionality to any app. It's just designed to catch the aforementioned zoom signalling and convert it into something else (default is up/down arrow keys).
I don't think it's the same version because I've never seen that zoom and pan stuff before. What I'm hoping is that there is some way to adapt the mods in the HD2 version so that Remote Desktop has zoom+pan for other devices.
Ok, gotcha....so you don't need a "TP2-compatible" version so much as you need a version capable of zooming based on input from the screen, which you hope to replace with input from the zoombar...yes? lol I think I've got it now

Exactly! I have remote desktop. I just want one like the HD2's. ;-)
