Mobile Programming with wireless communication

I want to create a program for mobile devices (PDA's).
This program has to sent data e.g image from the mobile to a server and store them in a database. The communication between them i want it to be wireless.
Can someone direct me how exactly i have to start and what steps i have to follow in order i don't get confused in the future. Also what technologies i can use.
If you want you can recomend also books, but don't forget that i am a beginner.
George

What error message do you receive?
Does the printer work from other computers?
You mentioned a McAfee firewall. Strict firewalls have been known to block communication with the printer. Unfortunately, I am not familiar enough with McAfee's firewall to give any steps.
This blog from HP details the ports that are needed for printing and installation to be successful. If the ports are being blocked by the firewall, or hpnetworkcommunicator.exe, then it will not work on that system with the firewall.
While they may not be able to disable the firewall, they may be able to make the necessary changes for the firewall to let it through. They may need to submit a request for review before opening those ports. I am not familiar with their IT security practices to determine if they will do that or not.

Can't sync bluetooth mobile phone with wireless keyboard or mouse

Hi,
I can't sync my mobile phone (K750) when I am working with my wireless keyboard and my wireless mighty mouse.
When I start the sync progress I loose contact to my mouse & keyboard....the sync progress starts with the mobile phone, but after transferring some data it also looses contact to the phone, so the sync interrupts. After some seconds I get back in contact to my mouse & keyboard.
When I turn off my wireless mouse & keyboard and I am using a wired keyboard & mouse instead everything is working fine!
Any ideas????
Many greetings,

Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed any mobile programs associated with my non apple cellphone. This seems to have started happening after the last Itunes update I did as I was able to put music on my ipod touch a month or so ago. Is there some way to go back to an older version of itunes? I really have no idea what else to do since I followed every step on the trouble shooting page for windows 8.

I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!
Go to 'Settings'
'Music'
Scroll to the bottom and enter your password to log onto your home sharing
Then connect to iTunes and sync!

Communication Error with wireless router, Works fine with Ethernet cable.

Video iChat is fine when my MBP and other MB's and MBP's are at my house using the Netgear 240 rangemax wireless router. I'm currently running High speed Internet via cable modem through Time Warner Cable. When I try to chat with them while they are at home, I get a communication error. I then tried to use the Ethernet cable hooked up to the cable modem to my MacBook Pro. It worked fine. I would like to use video iChat via my wireless router. I don't understand why it is not working. I think it is my router. Do I need to buy an Airport Extreme Base Station or can I still use this router. Can you possibly help me configure this Netgear router? The internet connection is fine when I use the wireless router.

I have not had very good experiences with the Netgear routers. I can't say that it is the router causing your problem, however, it might be the effective wireless bandwidth over your router. Do a speedcheck and determine the download and upload speed with wireless. Hopefully you're getting about 400Kbps up and 400Kbps down or about 1000Kbps in total.

Will the airport devices and time capsule work with telstras mobile hotspot (Sierra Wireless AirCard 753S Mobile Hotspot)??

will the airport devices and time capsule work with telstras mobile hotspot (Sierra Wireless AirCard® 753S Mobile Hotspot)??

Yes. There are 2 ways you could use these devices:
Wirelessly 'join' the network. This would be slower and doesn't offer extending functionality.
Use an Ethernet cable (through Powerline if you can't run a cable). This is faster and offers extending functionality. I would recommend using Bridge Mode if possible.

Hi mrsgadgit27,
Do you have a network setup in your home using a router?
Do you have the printer connected to your home computer (USB or Wirelessly)?

Mobile game programming with bluetooth technology

hi,
i want to develop mobile game with 2 players,blutooth .(J2ME)
but i dont know anything about connecting 2 telephones with bluetooth.If anyone knows about it,please help me,because this project is very important for me.
thanks a lot

Using a mobile program to interpret Archived media

Hopefully i'll make this clear;
I'm developing a program in Java ME that will provide a variety of media to the mobile user. They will navigate by way of a map, which will have 'hotspots' on it. When a hotspot is activated, they will be able to view a variety of media, from text to images and small soundbytes.
The actual content will be written by scholars; my job is to create a program that allows them to write the content, and then drop it into the delivery system (also devised by me) and distribute it. The data itself may be changed, and as such, it must be possible to reload and edit the data.
What I had in mind to solve my dilemma was a program with a standard swing interface which allows the scholars to enter their data into the system. Then, what I wanted to do was to 'grab' a pre-prepared ME program, and then use the Jar editor in Java to enter my media into the Jar file. In theory, this will also allow me to compress some of the text, saving valuable space.
However, I'm not certain how to go about:
1) Changing the Jar file. Will I also need to make changes to the Jad file? Will there be other changes?
2) How to get my media (images, audio, text) into the program once this has been accomplished.
Also, are there any additional API's for Java ME that I could safely assume are on most Java capable phones? The base ME API's are a little bare to say the least.
Any and all assistance in this is very much appreciated.

Hi,
According to
Why can't I find or install an app from the Windows Store?
If you can’t install an app and are using a mobile connection, it may be because you are on a metered connection. By default, tethered and mobile broadband connections are metered, meaning you can be charged by the amount of data you use. To switch your
connection to unmetered:
Step 1: Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Settings.
(If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, and then click Settings.)
Step 2: Tap or click Change PC settings, tap or click Network, and then tap or click Connections.
Step 3: Tap or click the connection you want to change, and then, under Data usage, turn Set as a metered connection on or off.
If this method was no use, please feel free let me know.

If you have no experience why are you:

B) Rushing to us to give you answers, instead of trying to learn them yourself.
I hope Yawmark u must have finished your MBA. Its
great. Now you can give more time to java community

HP D110 AIO printer. Prints jam when printing with wireless, but not when hooked to USB cable! HELP!

I have a HP D110. It jams the paper when I print with wireless, but not when I use USB cable. Any ideas?

From what you describe you are having issues printing from MS Office. Have you had trouble printing from other resources on your computer (e.g. from the internet or another program)? The first thing I am going to suggest is that we start by uninstalling and reinstalling the printer from the resources available online.
First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it (this is important). Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer.
In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it.

Perhaps this might be helpful:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/opendownload-10902/
It allows executables in Firefox to be run - it is an extenstion, though, so it must be installed in Firefox before your page will work.
Another option is this solution, but it will still require a manual change in Firefox:
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=803615
Or this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6472435/running-exe-in-firefox-why- do-i-get-an-error
However, you will still have problems with getting it to work cross-browser. Honestly, browsers are not supposed to have access like that to the client side file system, which absolutely makes sense for the web.
That is why you may have to approach the solution from a different angle - perhaps create a server side cloud version of your application(s) which can be easily accessed and run by your family members. I believe you used C to develop the applications? Although I have no experience with this framework, Wt might be a solution to convert your projects to server side applications:

If I switch both to x86 then I get an error Could not load file or assembly 'BekoModel2011' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.
which is the model project - presumably because to run on my x64 machine I need the 64bit version?
I really need to be able to debug and then publish some changes ASAP.

Hi,
Is it true that you're using IIS to host the application? Could you check whether the process is x64 or x86 one via task manager or config in IIS manager?

I am having problem with trying to install the printer with wireless connection.i have windows 7

the blue light on top of the printer blinks very fast and intermitenly. i cannot install the printer with wireless. I tried with the CD that came with the printer but the green install bar just stops and freezes. I have a 4 month old Dell laptop. Printer just purchased from HP is Laser Jet Professional P1102w.

Are there any third party firewalls installed (e.g. Kaspersky, Norton, BitDefender, etc.)? It sounds like something is blocking the software and third party firewalls have been known to block communication with the printer.
How far in the installation process do you get (what options are you able to get to)?
Is the USB cable connected at the start of the installation?
Do you receive any errors at all? If so, what are they?
Have you tried using Smart Install? Smart Install works by connecting the USB cable to the computer. By default, you should get a prompt to run a file. Running this file starts the Smart Install process.
This video is a good guide to Smart Install.

Satellite L600: How can I turn off the main Wireless Communication Switch?

Hello! Would be very grateful for any help....after struggling for 3 months I finally signed up here hoping to get some help.
I have a new Satellite L600/ Win7 Home Premium.
My questions is that I can not find where the MAIN wireless switch is in order to turn wireless off COMPLETELY.
Everytime I start up, the wireless (orange) light switches on automatically.
I have to wait till start up finish and manually turn it off by Fn-F8.
When I open ConfigFree, (or Connectivity doctor), the diagnosis on the bottom left says [STATUS" Wireless Communication Switch: ON]
This tells me the main switch is somehow still ON.
I called Toshiba twice and they couldn't find it either.
They said the new versions of BIOS doesn't allow it...? And for this model there is no physical switch built on the PC itself.
I have looked everywhere and did the following:
(1) Disable the adapter from Device manager.
(2) In HWSetup, where there used to be an option to click the wireless switch off, it is not there anymore.
(3) I went into BIOS setup and could find nothing remotely related to wireless/bluetooth to switch.
I'm just wondering why there is a laptop with wireless switch ON permanently? But if it's ON, there must be a way to switch it off. Press Fn-F8 every time on start-up is not a long term solution as risk is I'll forget one day).
As my last laptop was hacked before it is top priority that I know how to turn off ALL wireless function. So even if I have to do it via Commands, I will try it. Also, I'm not sure if anyone else experience the same with this model, or is this a defect in my particular PC?
Any help or same experience will be much appreciated, thank you.
I disabled the adapter in the device manager.
When I open ConfigFree, the Connectivity doctor tells me the Wireless Communication Switch: ON

Hi thanks for your replies! Sorry if I'm slow on the forum, at first I couldn't find where my thread went! Apparently it's moved to under Wireless. Is there alert message to let us know when my question is being moved?
Thanks Paolo30, I am glad to know that Fn-F8 is enough. when I check Network Connections, the Atheros adapter is 'disabled'. Sorry may I ask if WLan card you are talking about in device manager = Atheros adapter? (Despite reading furiously on books to patch up my ignorance on the wireless last few weeks, still not sure the difference between 'adapter' and 'card'... :) Are they the same thing?
Thanks Xardas. I checked the status in device manager and Atheros adapter is 'disabled'. I'm glad to know everything is ok if I see that! :) As my laptop was tampered wirelessly (and I don't know how they did it), I bought a new one and it's important for me to know it's 100% safe. Still, I want to tell Toshiba engineers it would be great to find out where this mysterious Switch is. It's not good to feel there is some sort of wireless capacity always ON and my PC may be emitting some wireless signals for serious baddies?

and I'm sure that the wifi card is fine because win7 recognize the network of my neighbors xD
please help me! i wanna conect via commands if its posible, i don't want to conect via wicd or networkmanager because they modify the file /etc/hosts, and i wanna conect to adsl via pppoe-start.
right now i am conected via adsl rj45 ethernet.
sry 4 my english xD

Hi,
on my ProBook surprisingly rt2860sta could not connect anywhere, let alone with WPA, and the opensource driver rt2800pci did. With moderate success I might add because it caused a kernel panic a few times - I found Monitor mode triggered it, in kernel 2.6.36 (have not tried 2.6.37 yet). Note that rt2860sta was known to cause them as well, when disconnecting from networks.
Several things to mind to make it work. Quoting from my article about installing Arch on it:
The only way to get your card working is to make sure to unblock RF-Kill on all devices; the Wireless (and Bluetooth since they are combined in this model). In Arch Linux a simple startup service takes care of it, part of the rfkill package. You also have to make sure one or the other driver is blacklisted. Having them both loaded leads to connection failures.
As for actual connecting, with rt2800pci, you can take a look at my connection script. It includes sample wpa_supplicant configuration as well. See rt-connect.sh: http://sysphere.org/~anrxc/j/articles/p … connect.sh
