Pocket PC device - Wifi+Phone

[farseer]

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've heard that, yes, this is the case (phone/WiFi from Verizon mutually
exclusive in some way). You might try Verizon tech. support, although I'm
sure it would take a while before you'd get the right person on the line.

To answer your first actual question, you can't copy it. It's not a 'real'
DLL, in some sense, so, even if you managed to extract the bytes, they could
not be interpreted as a DLL.

I'm not sufficiently familiar with Attach to Process to help with question
#2...
