Debugging application which uses GPRS connection


Debugging application which uses GPRS connection

Postby Shedal » Mar 11, 2006 @ 4:06pm

One of the hardest things to do in programming devices like the Qtek s110 is that you cannot debug the device with connectivity. That is, in order to run the development enivironment you need to have the device physically connected to the computer by, say, USB. To transfer information between the device and the development environment you need to use a program like Activesync. But every time you put the device in the cradle to sync it via activesync, it uses "pass through" internet connectivity and consequently disables the phone and GPRS. So, we can never debug the unit with connectity; to fix even the smallest bugs is a matter of tireless trials and errors.

Is there a program (active-sync substitute) or some other means of maintaining a connection to windows mobile device whilst still being able to use the phone/GPRS as a source of connectivity?

1. KITL. It does not require activesync. But HTC Magician does not have it. And it is extremely inconvenient if you don't have BSP for your device.

2. You can use a tweak. Setup a TCP connection with your PC (maybe via BT, wifi, over GPRS or something else) and setup your debugger to use it instead of activesync. Or use alternate debugger that can be modified to use alternate transport (like IR). For example IDA 4.90+ (www.datarescue.com) can be helpful there.
