REDFLY Mobile Viewer Beta.

[jdignazio]

Hey guys check this out by Redfly. I havent really played with it that much yet, but I dont see a huge difference from using Mymobiler.
The REDFLY Mobile Viewer software for Windows XP and Vista by Celio Corp, let's you conveniently use your favorite Windows Mobile applications at full size on your PC.
REDFLY Mobile Viewer is highly unique in its approach to unleashing your smartphone's hidden potential. REDFLY technology changes the output screen resolution on your phone allowing you to see more information in a larger window (4 selectable resolutions from 800x480 to 1024x768 depending on phone model and available memory). No other software in the world gives you this great feature. REDFLY Mobile Viewer doesn't just make your smartphone's screen bigger, you actually get more screen "real estate" to see more of a website, email, spreadsheet, etc. - without having to zoom and pan around the screen.

Try it out, http://www.celiocorp.com/install#viewer

Cabs removed, please follow instructions from link.

That really stinks After i started using it, all my menus text are alot smaller now. In regards to your issue, and I'm not saying you did this, but did you double check and make sure you installed the correct cab? Not sure why else your phone would be affected so badly.

Thats wierd, I didnt have any problems using this. Did you install both cabs, and the desktop software?

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.

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.

IMPORTANT: For optimal performance, you should always update your REDFLY Mobile Companion firmware to a version matching your phone driver software. Download both the appropriate operating system version of the driver software and the REDFLY firmware to your phone before beginning the installation. This is also true for the REDFLY Mobile Viewer application, whose version should match your phone driver as well. REALLY IMPORTANT: Unlike desktop systems, which have become highly interchangeable over time, smartphones vary considerably by hardware platform, operating system and even carrier customization. Customers have occasionally found that our drivers will install and run on Windows Mobile phones that are not included on our supported smartphone list. Please note that you do so at your own risk and that Celio Corp will not be responsible for any issues that result from installing on a non-supported device. In general you should first backup everything on your phone, as in rare cases we have received reports that installing our driver on unsupported devices can cause the phone to become unresponsive and result in the need for a hard reset.

I would reccomend using a program called SafeMode3.1 on your phone in case this type of thing happens again, you will be able to boot into safe mode.

I can't think of a practical use for this. If someone could help me out I'd appreciate it.
Does this install as an operating system on your laptop that you boot in to or as an application within XP or Vista? If its just an app on your computer then why wouldn't you just use your computer?

It completely hosed me - I can't even hard-reset right now

Anyone have any tips for hard resetting on the TP?

I've tried taking battery out, putting back in, holding volume down/center button, hitting power (no go)

I've tried holding volume down/center bottom, resetting (no go)

same as above but with OK key instead of center button (no go)

Sometimes I get arm11 errors, other times I see the screen redfly viewer is loading (on top of the green startup screen) then crash..

I've gotten the hold volume up to hard-reset once or twice by itself during restart - but holding volume up doesn't do anything

Any tips for hard-resetting?

My guess (if this works for some of you), is that I also had the updated ATI (or omni?) drivers on here - so there must be a conflict...
