This is the one of the first questions I want the answer to whenever a new windows mobile device comes out?
So has anyone tried it on the touch HD and how does it perform? What happens to the display when you try the full screen mode, how does it cope with the high resolution? Any screenshots would be particularly helpfull.
PS I know there is a update to the slingplayer planned especially for these high resolution devices but I want to know how the existing version behaves.

I have used slingplayer on HD and its very good.But , when you want to change channels u have to change the channels via , File , Menu System rather than the image on slingplayer.Looks like the remote control picture is not scaled properly as the HD is wvga device.But other than that, slingbox performance is very good.

thanks for the reply, does the full screen mode cover the full screen or not? is it possible u could post a screenshot in full screen mode.

Yes, the fullscreen mode, covers the full screen and its very nice.You can set the settings for high action under slingplayer settings and it runs really smooth and superb.

But the only problem , I am facing right now , is the remote control image where it shows up is not scaled properly for wvga screen.It works fine on diamond, but not for HD. Hope someone can find a fix where you can find a wvga fix for VGA apps.
here's a video of slingplayer in action on the touch HD, looks pretty impressive.

Hi,
I've uploaded that video on youtube.
Slingplayer works quite good as you can see.
If you add channels (with logos) to your favorites, it's no problem to change channels. Works fine to me.

I've not seen it cover the full screen. Could you confirm again that you're getting full screen video? I have a Touch Diamond 2 and can't get it to cover and I called Sling and they said it's not possible. Is there a hack somewhere?
Thanks. it looks very promising.

NO. Can't see any more area than on a 2.8" screen. Was a big disappointment to me.

I get most of the screen filled in landscape mode. I only have the small 2-3mm black side bars that don't fill in. I am using the HD Pro slingbox. Don't know if that has anything to do with it. When you are no in landscape mode it is around 2.8" but otherwise it is pretty much fullscreen.
slingplayer on duttys r9 6.5
Hi It looks like the poster above has slingplayer mobile working on duttys 6.5 r9 rom? I try to install it and it says not a valid pocket pc app? any hints?
ignore that got it working...
Works fine on HD (I have the Sling Solo).
The upload rate at home is 800Mb/s.
The framerate on HD is jumpy sometimes. The picture quality is resonable. The images (including movies subtitles) are clear and readable.
In landscape mode, the image almost fills the screen, but not entierly.
I'm happy with that. Hope that a real 800x400 player version will surface up.
I have a Slingbox Pro and suffer from the fullscreen issue, I also think they should make the remote control etc. more finger friendly for windows mobile.
I have a couple of requests on the customer feedback forum
More Finger Friendly on WM
EPG / Now & Next Info for Freeview on Windows Mobile
Full Screen on Touch HD 800x640 (I know I got the resolution wrong but I can't change the title. lol)
http://sling.uservoice.com/pages/18846-slingplayers-for-desktop-and-mobile
So far It seems like its only been me voting so it would be great if other Slingbox users could get voting to help improve the Software for windows mobile and out Touch HD's.
Cheers

I'll put my two cents in when I get a chance. I done some invite only beta work for sling before. Not that is going to make a difference but it might help. I gotta say that the video quality is better on the touch hd than the iphone. I swear the iphone was better before the update.

Now this is a new issue...Once started, on portrait mode, the slingplayer screen takes half the screnn of the HD.Also it is impossible to change channels as the buttons seem pressed there.
On Landscape mode the screen is filled up almost to the 90% capacity of the HD , thus making it very very comfortable to watch.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix the portrait mode???
Thanks
slingplayer impossible to use (touchscreen version)
has anyone managed to get slingplayer mobile working well on Touch HD? The buttons are impossible to use for the remote very small and not mapped correctly, also the full screen is not the whole screen only part of it.. anyone got any tips? I searched but noone seems to have solved this?
Hope it's sorted soon, asked the wife for a Slingbox for xmas :/

its just about usable although slow to use the menus for remote control functions but the streaming and PQ are excellent so its worth having!
I have it working.
I cannot however hand out the version I am using.
So, please wait. a version that does work perfectly with HD is on its way. I can also state SlingMobile version coming out soon works perfectly on Omnia and on the X1.
Sorry I can't hand this out, and please do not ask, as refusal may offend.
Ah... wonderful news indeed as this is one of my favorite apps.
awesome, figured out I can get the current version usable with Sky plus by using the favourites buttons to set the most common remote control functions but it would be good to have a version that works with WVGA properly!! Any idea on timelines for the newer version?
Any News?

TouchLockPro is a general purpose locking program, which also works on the Touch HD.
See TouchLockPro thread for more details.
Version 2.0
I uploaded version 2.0, which fixes some (small) issues and added some features, like unlocking when sliding the keyboard out (if available). See Version 2.0
[APP][Updated 11-01-2009] TouchLockPro version 2.1
I just uploaded TouchLockPro version 2.1. Hope this version is again more perfect.
TouchLockPro is indeed great. However, on the HD, I find its use limited, as there is no good unlocking mechanism in place. I keep it installed for the BattClock, but I simply can't get comfortable with having to pull out the stylus to unlock, or wave the phone in front of a light source. (The HD light sensor doesn't seem very reliable.)
Heck I admit it, I often surf with Opera in bed, in the dark - the stylus is the only unlocking option, and it annoys me.
If TouchLockPro could get a touch gesture unlock, like PocketShield or ThrottleLock, I'd be happy. There doesn't even have to be a UI - as long as it's fast and reliable.
ThrottleLock appears to late (I can interact with the screen before the ThrottleLock asks for the gesture), otherwise it would be mighty fine.
PocketShield is much better in this respect. I just can't get it to work comfortably with answering the phone. I've hung up on so many calls now, unintentionally, that my wife told be to FIX IT.

Indeed my next highest priority is implementing a gesture to unlock using the GSENSOR, which was already on the TODO list. You could consider to use LockTouchPanelOnly=1, so the hardware keys are not locked and couple a command to a hardware key: "TouchLockAction.exe" unlock. Of course there is a chance that the hardware buttons are pressed in that case, when it is in you pocket. Other people using TouchLockPro in combination with Phone Canvas. They use TouchLockPro for general locking and unlock the phone automatically by TouchLockPro when there is an incoming call: commandCallIncoming = "TouchLockAction.exe unlock"
TouchLockPro 2.2.1 with GSENSOR support for unlocking
I just uploaded TouchLockPro 2.2.1 with GSENSOR support for unlocking.
TouchLockPro version 2.3
TouchLockPro version 2.3 is available.
Hi,
This seems to be a great app. But I have a serious problem.
Right after installation I get the messages
“ a problem has occurred with touchlockpro.exe”
And then after a soft reset the messages
“ Could not create TouchPanel Hook.“ Comes up and the application fails to start.
.
Do you have any idea what the problem might be?

Hi Henk,
which version did you install? the latest version 2.7.3?
I did not get this problem report from other users, and there are a lot of Touch HD users. You can try to set DoubleTouchPanelLock = 0, because some people have problems with this setting.
The "Could not create TouchPanel hook" message means that some other program is running which applies the hook before TouchLockPro can. Which Today screen do you have, TF3D?
You can also enable debug logging LogDebug=1 and post the debug log file \TouchLockPro.log.txt as zipped attachment. Maybe that gives me a clue
Hi,
Wow, quick response. I appreciate it!
Where do I set the “DoubleTouchPanelLock = 0”?
The only application that start up with the phone is TF3D.
I think you might be right, some other application is interfering. Can it be TF3D?
I’ve seen now that I can access the application after start-up from the application menu. It still gives me an error but I can use it.
This is a fantastic application, I will defiantly donate so soon as finances permits

Hi,
I have Hard Reset my device and installed TouchLockPro. It work perfectly.
Must have been a application somewhere that was the culprit

Hi Henk,
good to hear that your problem is solved
*NEW* Zoombar unlocking also working on HD???
TouchLockPro version 2.9 now also has a *NEW* Zoombar unlocking. I expect this is also working for the HD. Could someone confirm it is actually working Because I cannot test on HD.
My expectation is that it works also on HD, because it works on Touch Pro 2 and Diamond 2.
I couldn't get the zoom bar working on the Touch PRo 2... I know it wasn't the question asked but worth mentioning.
some of the functionality seems not to work on the touch pro 2 with the telstra roms.
Anyone on here using MyMobiler?
I'm using Duttys 1.6 and when I move my mouse onto the phone (rather than using the desktop view), I cant see the mousepointer on the phone. Anyone else have this problem?
It worked OK on my old Orbit but that had a "Mouse" option in settings somwhere.

I have never seen the mouse pointer on the phone. I didnt think it worked that way at all
Yes it used to do that on my old phone, not tried it on the Touch, no longer have XP.
Can you drag your mouse over to the phone at all ? I remember that i used the exact same function .. they actually disabled the function in newer version! Have a look in the config file.. i found the setting once and enebled it, and wolla ! all working again..

If you right-click on your PC MyMobile icon and click "Connect" (rather than double-clicking to open the window on your desktop), then change "Mouse Cursor To" from "Disabled" to either "Left" or "Right", when you then move your PC mouse off the "Left" or "Right" of your screen, it should move onto you phone.
It does seem to work (clicking opens menus, runs apps etc), you just cant see your mouse pointer.
Yes, I am using MyMobiler in the same version and it works with no problems. Also after I change from a vogue to the blackstone.
Only the skin-mode doesn't work for me.

i agree there, skin mode doesnt work for me, otherwise it works perfect on my machine
So you both see a mousepointer on your phone?
Hi
I have My Mobiler and I see a mouse pointer on the phone image on the laptop screen.
I have in My Mobiler the option "Mouse cursor to" set to disable. I have never looked at this option before (!!) but it all works fine for me.
I open Mobiler and I have a working mouse that scans across the laptop and onto the image of the phone. On the phone image I'm able to activate various options with the mouse including tap and hold.

HD Skin
Hmm, strange. I see the pointer on my phone occasionally but its very "flickery", I'll try a soft-reset see if that fixes it.
In the mean time, attached is an HD skin I just knocked together.
There's also a Touch HD skin on the MyMobileR forum if you search for mymobiler touch hd skin in Google.

If you want a working skin mode, you can use EveryWAN Remote Support
from Sparus Software.
I am one of the developers and we made it free for all.
WOW! that is genius! MyMobile was flaky at best for me, and was of limited use. Just installed EveryWAN (about 30 mins ago) and haven't stopped playing since! Great tools - esp. the macros. Many thanks for providing this to the community.
The second time I went to use it, my Touch Pro started to "click", and on my PC, I got the error message...
"An unhandled win32 exception occurred in MyMobiler.exe [2772]".

Works beautifully, great work
How it works
Hi
1. Get mymobiler up and running.
2. Set (e.g.) mouse cursor to right
3. Close mymobiler BY USING THE "X" BUTTON
4. Move cursor off right hand side of computer screen.
Voila
I could'nt get the latest version of MyMobiler working on my Topaz - installed "EveryWAN Remote Support Personal Edition" - its a breeze - everythings working fine.
Hey Folks,
I'm using the Desire HD with the Cyanogen Mod 7 (latest Version from 2 Days ago).
Now I connected via Menu (Wireless & Networks --> Bluetooth) a simple "noname" Bluetooth Mouse and the pairing did happen. I used "0000" as Pairing-Code and the Desire gives me the Message "Connected with HID-Device" (or something like that, I use the german language).
Now I should see a Mousearrow or something should happen if I scroll or press a Button.
But nothing happens.
The Mouse itselft works properly - I tried it in Windows7 and Suse-Linux.
I also tried the App BlueInput (latest and some previous versions) but there its the same. I get connected properly but it wont work.
Now I'm hopefully waiting for your ideas (and I hope there are some)
Thanks in advance!
Ok, correct me if I'm wrong, you want to use a mouse to control your handset? Where the handset is directly in front of you?
I dont know if Android supports this. If you wish to remotely control your handset try WebKey from the market.

Well, there is also a possibility to make use of a WiiMote...
I see this more as a proof of concept.
What about the Motorola Atrix within its "to-Netbook-conversation-Docking"?
Internal Keyboard + BT Mouse = playable Quake3 on Android
Err bubble to bursting station, you can use a wiimote on a DHD quite easily. You can even do it with Apps available from the market place, hey you can even use the classic controller and nunchuck with it.
I have used it (not entirely successfully) to play N64 games on an emulator
At first : Thanks for your responses!

Yes, I want to control my Desire HD with a mouse when I stand next to it. If I wouldn't, I wouldn't have asked for it
The thing is that I need a Mousewheel - or at least something that can emulate one.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the WiiControl doesn't have such a feature.
What I found out is, that the Cyanogen 7 doesn't support Mouseweel-Actions.
I installed the latest 6.1 - et voilla - I get a Cursor and the Mousewheel works.
But unfortunately it doesn't work if I use it in a Flashmovie with the WebKit-Browser.
It seems that the Events are not tunneled into the Flashapp.
Someone got an idea for a workaround?
Ps: I like the idea of playing Quake3 on my Desire - but I prefer Quake1
Is there a way of using the mousewheel in a self-written application!?
That could also solve my problem
I mean, in the Cyanomod I can scroll around through lists an so on. There must be a way! (hopefully)
