Infrared remote

[saqer]

I'm looking at 2 or 3 "remote control" apps for PPC. They all list the 6700 as a supported device, but Im just wondering if our IR is powerful enough? Has anyone used it before as a remote control?

I have tryed many. I did get one running but the ir was weak. It did work ,but I had to hold it just right and be close.

meh the ir works really well at 1-2 ft.. gets really precise at 2-4ft (oon full charge/charging) soo.. as long as your couch is less then 4 ft away from your tv its great... infact i use

some pocket remote app myself..

i want to use it to turn on my ps2

(i use WinCESoft's RemoteControl II)

its got a pretty cool quick learn fucntion..

I used Novii's remote deluxe and it works just fine with my tv from over 10 feet. Even works on my 6700 with WM6.

I use Novii Remote as well... about 10 feet away from my TV, and it works perfectly.
Easy setup also.

I'll third that with Novii. They must do something special with the IR. I get about 8 feet but I have to aim precisely with my TV, but better range and angle with other devices.

Novii seems the only REAL option for the 6700.

I tried Novii once upon a time, and it seemed to work well software wise. However...

In my opinion the Apache is kind of a stupid design for something like this because of the location of the IR port (on the side). It's just not possible to hold the phone in what I would consider a one-handed "natural feeling" position to use as a remote.

Not slamming the Apache... just that it doesn't work in what I would consider an "intuitive" fashion for something like this. For what it's worth, my shiny new 6800 (Mogul) is even worse... the IR port is on the bottom.

Trying out novii right now. Works well only limited to about 8-10 feet... I knew that ir port would be good for something some day...lol.

[saqer]

thanks all for ur replies...I tried novii too and it seems to work better than vito and remote_control_II. it does not work an inch beyond 8 feet for me, but that's a 6700 limitation im willing to accept

Its now a proven fact that "GHOSTS" live in my house. Or so my niece and nephew have decided. Apparently this "GHOST" wanted to watch soccer and when they changed the channel the "GHOST" changed it back!!!
