Hi all, I'm a newbie to HTC PPC's, and I've got to port a soft initially written for the HTC Universal on a HTC Apache. This soft provides a few non real-time services like chat and presence, and real-time applications like VoIP and legacy calls. I don't want to change anything to those applications, just make them work in a CDMA network context. The soft uses the windows mobile connection manager component to identify which connection to use, so I guess I will be forced to modify this part to enable CDMA connections. But I've no idea if there will be any major compatibility problem between those two devices for my soft, because for example of changes in the windows mobile API supported in the HTC Apache. I would be glad if someone could help me to identify the risks that exists in this attempt of porting.

Thanks a lot,

Antoine

How deep down to the hardware dos your app go?
Generally windows connection manager and windows sockets completely obscure the actual details of the cellular network so it should make no difference what so ever for the program if it is working with GSM, CDMA or WiFi.

If you are using RIL to actually send commands to the modem that would be a different story.
Unfortunately I have very little knowledge with this but my suggestion would be looking up CDMA mode commands in google as a start.

Normally, the soft only relies on the windows mobile connection manager API for connections, and the TAPI for calls. In fact, I was asking myself about the impacts on the display of my HMI on this new device or the codec issues...
