Wifi + Phone

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Hi,
i have a Samsung i730. According to Samsung, the phone is designed so
that Wifi can be used when the phone is on (i.e. you should be able to
recieve or make phone calls while the Wifi is on). the phone shipped
by Verizon does not allow this. This implies it may be a vendor
specific implementation.

To determine this, i would like to do the following:
there is a phone.dll i found in the devices /windows directory.
i cannot copy this file to my local pc because it is in ROM and when
trying to copy, windows complains it cannot copy from ROM.

how can i copy this file to my PC?
would i be able to look into this dll to see the function calls once i
do that?

lastly, i'd like to attach to processes on my Pocket PC device to trace
thru what is going on. In visual stuio, i select Tool->Attach Process.
for Transport, i select "Smart Device". For qualifer, i click the
browse button and select "Pocket PC Device". The "Connecting..."
dialogue pops up, but eventually a "Connection failed. Class not
registered" error is displayed.

Can anyone assist in helping me debug/trace a process on the phone
itself?

I can't speak for this device, but Verizon is well known for crippling
phones and devices. Their goal is to make certain that any data
transfer at all goes across their network so they can charge for it.
Check out some of the Motorolla v710 forums. Basically if Verizon sells
it, then you can be certain it is not anywhere close to the original
device, it's crippled to hell. My recommendation is to stay away from
Verizon if you like your toys to work as they are supposed to work, use
another cell provider.
