REDFLY Mobile Viewer Beta.

One thing I can think of -

Browsing at work (through your cell connection) without actually leaving a trace at work.

Possible thoughts:

Tethering can be terribly slow in non-3G areas, so this might be a slightly better solution for mobile web browsing, especially if you can use a compressed browser like Opera 9.7

You could manipulate office docs on a computer without Office, although keeping a PC copy of OpenOffice Portable on the device is a better solution IMO.

GPS display on laptop?

Registry tweaking might be a little easier?

The best one I can think of: Testing and tweaking new mobile software from your desk without having to actually fiddle with the phone.

I installed the touch screen wm6 cab. (RFP6_01040163.cab)

I think it might have conflicted with one of the special video drivers that I had installed ages ago (since they probably touch the same things..)

In the end, I was able to hard-reset based on the directions in this thread -

Good news is, I was wanting to try out a new rom anyways (my phone's been too stable lately )

I just got rid of redfly. Too many goofy things happening after i installed it (text in menus are now real dinky, tried to do a backup with sprite last night and got "fatal ARM 11 error with the redfly startup utility, backup failed.) I was able to get rid of it with memmaid and sktools. I liked my stable setup glad it's back.

yeah i had the same issue with my touch pro. i just about sh!t a brick about it cuz, i couldnt figure out what was the issue, til i realized after 2 hard resets that it was REDFLY. Crappy program. MyMobiler FTW

This happened to me too. I've since uninstalled Redfly but the text on all my Windows Mobile menus remains small. I haven't found a way to revert back to the standard text size. Anyone have an idea?

I didn't have the problems with Redfly on my Diamond that a lot of other people experienced. It worked, but I didn't find it all that useful. I like My Mobiler because I can connect via IP address while tethering instead of via ActiveSync. Redfly only works via ActiveSync; if they had a connect via IP option I would've kept using it.

I am using MyMobiler, I couldn't get Redfly to install on my diamond. I use it to text message on my phone (this is nice). Plus screen shots.

Really though if I am going to do an email I just use my email client on my pc.

nice find but ive been using mymobiler as well myself and say it might be better especially i its going to crash your phone.

[AL_CAPONE_187]

oh ya forgot to put that i use a program like this (my mobiler) so i can send and recieve text faster. usng computer keyboard and not smaller mogul or tp keyboard.


also use it so i can surf the strcitly mobile sites i like to surf from my phone but on my computer. . also making it easier with full keyboard and not smaller phone qwerty keyboard
