PhoneMyPc, some questions

[WLJohnson05]

so what did the newest update do? i was hoping for sound


edit: nvm a quick look on the site let me know

for others wondering:

Current Release 1.0.15, 01-18-2010. Theme: Many fixes, requested features.
This release contains seveal additions and bug fixes.
There have been changes in both the Phone and PC applications;
BOTH applications must be updated together.
We appologize for all the PC application updates; we're near to rolling out an auto-update so this won't happen many more times.

• Complete rewrite of keyboard handling. For detailed use, please click either the Control Mouse+Keys or Interact Live link at left.
• Multi-touch support fixed for Samsung users.
• Keyboard-caused crash has been fixed.
• Double-key entry bug is fixed.
• RDP keyboard issues fixed (RDP now works properly on a controlled PC).
• More accurate use of device keyboard (Alt and other keys now behave correctly).
• Ability to control PC's modifier keys (Shift, Alt, Ctrl, Windows) added.
• Shortcut menu added to simplify common key sequences (Cut, Copy, Paste, Run, etc.).
• User configurations added to allow mapping of hard buttons to software features.
• All PC input features of Interact Live now added to Control Mouse+Keys.
• Optional Application Password added (to prevent unauthorized use of PhoneMyPC on the phone).
• Auto-retry logic added to network code--still fine tuning this.
• Long-press crash in Window and Process list has been fixed.
• Screen-density logic added to improve sensing of taps on high-density screens (Droid/Milestone, Nexus One).

We utterly understand that!

We started working on an auto-update feature to eliminate that, but with each new build, there is so much other work to do, people get anxious wanting the new feature and fixes, and it somehow always takes a back seat.

I guess, judging from user emails, people would rather it be annoying to update, but work better between updates, than the other way around.

Anyway, this will come, as well as a number of other convenience features (such as more persistent configuration on the phone so you don't have to re-enter everything after every update!).

He means the PC side, you need to uninstall and re install the updated version on the PC only, phone side is fine.

Is this app limited to 3 PCs? I have about 6 that I would want to access. 3 of mine and 3 belonging to family that I regularly get asked to perform tech support for.

I'd like to know the answer to that question, too! Thanks!

I currently have 5 on my list and it works great. Well worth the $9.99

Two of the five are old Pc's that arent always running, but sometimes they show up and when I click on it, I get the error and they fall off the list. So, I guess I only have 3 actually running at a time.

Best thing about it for me is helping my wife accomplish PC tasks while I'm away from home, which is quite often. For example, if she can't remember how to properly burn a DVD with Nero Vision.

Hi,

Actually, we specifically limited it to 3, but plan to offer ways for more after the Beta program. We know that more sometimes work, and it's simply a bug in the code that we haven't taken the time to fix.

So, just know that you may be able to use more, and you may not; we can guarantee that 3 will work.

Consequently, the number only matters because each PC consumes some small amount of server resources any time it is available to you on your phone. The three limit was intended to keep resource reasonable while we build up our infrastructure.

It turns out that right now, if we were concerned about conserving those resources, we would save much, much more by implementing a licensing scheme that barred non-paying customers from using the servers.

As you might imagine, the licensing scheme is on the "TO DO" list, and it is much higher priority than fixing the bug that gives genuine customers more capability

I'm sure there are users here who can share their experiences with you, but here are a few notes.

Sound is not supported yet, but it is coming.

We have reports from many people playing games through PhoneMyPC. If you have problems with a full-screen game, switch it to Windowed mode and it will likely work.

Finally, to anybody trying out this software, take a few days to get to know it, and if you're not happy within that time, email us and we will cancel your order. We thing 24 hours is too short for a real trial.
