yea I've been using it for the past year before I got my 7" screen. Its kewl, except for the fact that it demands to be at the foreground of the screen (visually).

Just download it and try, you'll have to get a BT adapter on your PC though, and then pair them.

Me and a mate wrote a program similar to this, added loading playlists, searching for files, bass, treble etc. used it in my car till i got a screen, now i just use it at home in my bed

so it has to be on top of all other windows?

streetknight · 02-14-2004, 06:36 PM

any one know of any other that would do the same?(exepct not have to be on top

liquid_smoke · 02-14-2004, 08:38 PM

well i went to the store after my last post and bought a usb blue tooth, figured it was time, i needed on anyway for my pda etc. Anyway, im not sure what you mean by the program needs to be on top, i have it working fine in the background.
Mouse move is sweet, you can even use the phone to enter text on the pc.

Thanks for the link

cant seem to get this app to connect to my phone.
looking over the helpfile etc to see if i can figure out why.

liquid_smoke · 02-15-2004, 03:04 AM

well i got it work, pretty nice app.
It has script support that dosent seem to work at all though, i keep getting errors etc, and others on there forum seem to be having the same issues. The mouse control is in the script support though. So for now, i have to use both pc control and FMA.

any of them, they all seem to not work. The app it self works fine and i like it a lot, its just the scripting support dosent work at all for me.

liquid_smoke · 02-15-2004, 12:52 PM

OK,
finally got script support to work correctly.
I opened one of the scripts that was crashing and noticed in the header it required the version of FMA to be 0.10.31e but the version i downloaded was 0.10.31b, there was no .31e available. But if its required it must exist somewhere. So, i found the check for update option in the help menu. It downloaded .31c, after it installed it, i checked for updates again and it found more, downloaded .31d and after that it finally found .31e that i needed.

Scripts work fine now.

Just keep checking for updates in the help menu until there are no more updates.

Just wanted to post another thanks to streetknight for starting this thread and eveeryone else posting links here etc. All three of the apps work pretty good, ive been testing them out all night

a short review:

pc control
http://www.christersson.org/index.ph...ware_pccontrol

very cool, and free
works great
If you need something simple to control winamp, move your mouse and also start up apps this is a good choice.

FMA
http://fma.xinium.com

also very cool, more feature rich than pc control
This app is good for manageing your phone, contacts, uploading files etc. its very good at this.
Also has scripting support (make sure you have the absolute latest version of app) so you can expand it with scripts to control your pc from the phone.
And its also Free! but could easily be sold for 30bucks or more.

And finally

Jeyo Remote
http://www.jeyo.com/products/JeyoRemote.asp

This is pretty cool also, worked as soon as i ran it, very simple layout and options. Easy to use and i was up and controling my pc with this in less than 2 minutes. But.... this was the last app i tested so im sure i worked out any connection issues i had with bluetooth before with the other 2 apps above.
Anyway, the app works good,
But there is one feature of this app thats worth the 15 bucks they charge for the software.
Its the only app out of the 3 that has a command manager that basicly lets you map any key on your phone to any keyboard shortcut for any app! Now thats sweet. This can also probably be done with FMA but would require you to write the scripts or someone else who knew VBS, which i dont.
This app also has better mouse move support than FMA, but... pc control wins hands down on the mouse move feature.

So, over all, you cant go wrong with using either one of these apps. They all are pretty damn good, and i thought at least one of them would be a pos

Also of note to anyone reading this,
You will need a SonyErisson phone for any of the above apps to work.
