What can it do? Why use it?
How to setup and try it?
Most easy setup in 2 minutes.
Download WMouseXP from http://github.com/ykasidit/WMouseXP/archives/master.
Extract the ZIP archive to some folder on your PC.
Start your computer's Bluetooth. Make sure your PC's Bluetooth is plugged-in & started in the system-tray. (or if your Notebook has internal Bluetooth - start it using its assigned Fn+ bluetooth button or hardware bluetooth/wireless button)
Note: WMouseXP is compatible with PC Bluetooth running on Toshiba, BlueSoleil, Microsoft or Broadcom/WIDCOMM Blueooth Stacks/Drivers (ask your computer store about that).
Double-click Start_WMouseXP.bat
Press the "Send & Install on phone" button to send the Mobile-Side program to your mobile phone and install it there. (Make sure your phone's Bluetooth is ON and discoverable - "Show to all".)
Note: If send fails (Motorola U9, Nokia 6230, etc), then open your phone's WAP browser to wap.ClearEvo.com and download/install WMouseXP on your phone from there.
- On your phone, start the Mobile-Side WMouseXP program, allow it to access Bluetooth until you see "Awaiting PC Side".
Note: On S60 2nd Ed phones , you MUST press the (left) soft key for "Yes" explicitly - because pressing the Joystick "in" would result in a default "No".
- On your PC's WMouseXP, press the "Connect" button. Wait until the PC side automatically finds the mobile side on your phone, it would then connect and minimize itself - showing the "Wireless Control Active..." balloon.
DONE! Move your phone's joystick and see your PC's mouse cursor magically move on your PC - try double-clicking, opening and closing stuff on your computer from your phone
Test it - Open a Powerpoint or OpenOffice Presentation, press 3 on the phone to start the presentation, click/press the phone's joystick to go to the next step/slide, press 2 to go back, press 1 to exit.
For a WIFI version: please try AgilePresenter WIFI Remote.
About
WMouseXP let's you use your phone's joystick as a wireless mouse, use your phone's numpads as a presentation (PowerPoint) and media player remote-control (like a stereo remote) - all wirelessly via Bluetooth, directly from your phone.
Current Version: WMouseXP 2.3 - Download from link at top of this page.
Updates in version 3.0 (Aug 2010)
- Released as free-software under GNU GPL
- added "Auto start" option - app would automatically start on boot of PC and search/try to connect to the nearby phone that's running WMouseXP
Updates in version 2.3 (May 2009)
- Added support for Toshiba Bluetooth Stack. (Tested on a Toshiba Notebook with integrated Bluetooth running the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack.)

- Added "Custom-Commands" feature where you can re-map the actions for each phone numpad button.
Requirements
The Best way to know if it works on your phone and PC or not is to download and install/test on your phone and PC. WMouseXP consists of the Mobile Side program and the PC Side program - they need to connect via Bluetooth and work together, here are their requirements: WMouseXP Mobile Side

Note: Some "branded"/"locked" phones (Cingular, etc.) like Motorola Razr V3xx and Sony-Ericsson W810i don't allow "uncertified" programs like WMouseXP to access its Bluetooth. Therefore, WMouseXP can't work on those phones - best way to know is to try it.

** "My Computer" would not be launched if another "My Computer" window is alraedy open. *Right click doesn't work on some phones, mouse speed acceleration doesn't work on some PCs.
Other Notes: Some media player commands may not work as intended if you have some versions of Nero or WinAmp software installed. You can check this if you have a multimedia keyboard: try pressing the "Media Player","Play","Stop","Next Track","Previous Track", "Increase Volume", "Decrease Volume" keys - you can normally expect the same results from WMouseXP. Just try it - The Best way to know if it works on your phone and PC or not.
Known Issues: -The PC-Side WMouseXP used to work fine but suddenly it always show "Connection Declined or Timed-Out". Solution: This rare error can be solved by Restarting your PC and try again.
Usage Scenarios
Bluetooth Presentation Remote Control
Walk around explaining your presentation on stage (or in meeting/class rooms), click the joystick of your phone to move on to the next step/slide of your presentation. Press "2" on the numpad to go to the previous one. With WMouseXP, you have wireless control of your powerpoint presentation in your hand!
Wireless Mobile Bluetooth Mouse
With WMouseXP, your mobile phone can be used as a wireless mouse: move the mouse, left click, right click - all using your phone's joystick. WMouseXP generates smooth cursor movement on PC, the cursor move speed increases as you hold the joystick down. When you have control of your mouse cursor, you have wireless control of your computer. What's better is that you don't have to use a clean surface/table like that of a real mouse. This mouse is entirely hand-held. You can use WMouseXP on your sofa, your bed, from your kitchen, virtually anywhere in the Bluetooth range - this is normally up to ten meters away!
Bluetooth Media Player Remote Control
With WMouseXP, your phone becomes the remote control of your PC-based entertainment system. Sit-back on your comfortable sofa or lay down on your bed while having full control of your Media Player from your phone - change the track, increase the volume, open your favorite movie, double click your phone's joystick to make it full-screen. Feel sleepy? Just move the cursor to your Window's "Start" button and shut-down the computer. Yes, that sounds nice. Just use WMouseXP to make all this happen. Bluetooth signals can even go through walls, so you can even change the song in your playlist or increase the volume while you're in the bathroom! (but don't get your phone wet!)
Change Powerpoint/Presentation slides wirelessly from your mobile phone.
Smoothly move your computer's mouse pointer from your phone's joystick. No need for laser-pointers pointing at your projector screen.
Media-Player control: Play, pause, stop, next, previous song/video.
Computer Volume +, - or MUTE.
All functions are uniquely integrated into one single command screen - so intuitive and easy that you don't have to look at the phone once you get used to the easy-to-remember command mapping.
