A Few Questions - HTC Excalibur

Hi all,
Ok I have a few questons.
1. When ever I open a programme ie Internet Explorer then want to go back to it I have to open it via the icon again when it's still running in the background how do I toggle between programmes?
2. Also when I want to close any programe I have to go to Start-Expert-Task Manager. And close them from there, Is there another way of doing this?
3. I want to be able to Watch my webcam when I'm not at my computer, I tried streaming it from my computer with Windows Media Encoder but when I put in the address in Windows Media on my HTC it does not want to open, Is there another way I can view my video?
Also on top of that I thought about using a site like ustream.tv but Internet Exploer does not open the FLASH videos which are live nor Does Opera Mini, So is there anyway I can view FLASH videos via a browser on my device?
Or anyway I can view my webcam on my HTC when I'm away from home????

which rom are you using? some roms have the celetask mapped to the tzones button, which is great for closing apps and switching between them. as far as the webcam viewing goes im not sure.

Questions/thoughts about my Incredible

Ok I'm coming from another phone where I'm used to certain things so I'm trying to figure out some things on the Incredible... any help would be appreciated.
1. How do I send MMS video? No matter what resolution I take a video at, when I try to send it through MMS I get the message saying it's too large. It doesn't give me the option to edit it and send or anything.... When I used other android devices (Hero and N1) there was an option to take "MMS Video" which I thought was pretty poor way of doing things since I could be taking a video that I then wanted to later send as MMS but didn't have the option if it wasn't taken at MMS... Shouldn't it just convert it and send it for you or something? Anyhow, I don't even see the "MMS Video" option so I figured they had fixed this and made it so it converts it for you but no dice...
2. In the web browser I can't view videos like on Vimeo etc... For some reason I was under the impression that this phone did flash? But I can't get flash videos OR HTML5 embedded videos to load. :-( Now on Vimeo, the video does appear to be there but when I hit the play button the loading bar appears, loads up to 100% and then nothing happens... and hitting the full screen toggle in the corner of the video window doesn't make it full screen either... What am I doing wrong?
3. On the mail client it doesn't seem to be rendering HTML correctly. Some of the formatting is broken and I have to tell it to load pictures each time I open a message. Is there a way to change it so it always loads all HTML and pictures? Also when I do click to load the pictures, the rendering is off and not sized correctly; I have to scroll side to side as well as up an down to view the full email. Also a lot of the text is unaligned especially around pictures. This also happens in the Gmail app too. How can I improve this?
4. In the camera App, the app works fine actually it's just odd that the controls are stuck in landscape mode and when I turn the phone to portrait the controls don't change with it... Just seems like something that should be addressed especially in out of the box apps.
5. Is there a way to arrange the order my friends are in on the people widget?
6. What's the default movie player on the Incredible and does it support subtitles/chapters? How do I get them on the device?
7. What are some good task switchers you recommend? Other than the default long press on home task switcher.
try skyfire browser for vimeo.. works well but unfortunately does not work for hulu

[Q] Display gallery photos on my PC?

I'm looking for an app that would let me display photos from my phone to my PC.
Specifically, I'm on my phone, I select photo and show it on a desktop.
Samsung AllShare does exactly this, but the interface is so crappy it's not usable. I mean who browses photos by filename??? Give me something like the android Gallery and I'd be good to go.
There are countless ways of browsing the files and photos FROM a PC and I even tried remote controlling the pc while it fetches the files remotely but the controller freezes too much while downloading the files. Surely someone has already created such an app... I just can't find it.
Have you tried imediashare? Its for free in market and shows you thumbnails of your photos on your devic. It have also some other nice futures.

[Q] you tube app

A small question:
I am using insert coin gb rom v25.
How can i configure the browser to launch the you tube app, when i click on a youtube link?
If you have the YouTube app installed then it should ask you whether you want to load it in the browser or the app, that's if you haven't defaulted the browser. If you have, then just go an clear the defaults.
Internet has no defaults, and youtube has also no defaults, but the browser does'nt ask me what i like to use.
If your viewing YouTube videos directly in your browser then it will just use the browser. It only asks what you want to use when you select an external link.

[Q] Windows RT and Synology NAS

Hi @all,
I have a Problem in Windows RT on my Surface RT tablet.
I allready use for Long time a NAS (Synology DS 207+) where I mapped Network drives on my Laptop to get Access to all my datas, Pictures, Music ...
On the RT I also mapped the Network drives and I also get Access on the files. No Problems for Excel, word and other files. But when I open Pictures (JPG) from my NAS the Picture app from RT opens but only Shows a black Screen with the file Name in top left Corner but Picture will not be showed.
When I first copy the file from the NAS on the Surface RT and then open it everything works OK.
Same with Music files.
Has anybody an idea what might be the Problem?
Thanks and best regards
I'll try this out later today and let you know. I have a DS212j. I'm running the latest version of DSM though, but I'll check it out.

One more thing that I saw is:
If I try to open the Pictures/Music via the Network drives I mapped for this Folders on the DS it does not work.
But if I do the same via the DS Mediaserver that is also visible on the surface Explorer I can Access the Music and Picture Folder on the DS and can open everything.
But it would be better to use the mapped Network drives because this I could also include in the library of win8rt and including the mediaserver in the library seems not to work.
Thanks if anybody can help here.

Out of wonder, do the pictures open if you try to use the windows photo viewer (or whatever it's called), is this just an issue with the metro apps?
I know that on RT the metro apps rely on indexing to build their own libraries, but I'm not aware of it not opening or playing from a network location.
Also do you experience the same issue with video files?
As I updated to RT 8.1 it now works if I open the Pictures via the file Explorer on the Website. Also Music and Video now works. If I open them the Metro app starts and Shows the Picture and I also can browse to all the Pictures in this Folder.
So the only Problem I still have is to link the synology link to the RT library. This does not work.
Any idea for this?

[Q] how to change out wonders of nature video with my own personal videos

^ hi..my question is simple and yet I've searched everywhere with no luck...can I change the wonders of nature video on my tablet with say a video of my own....?
There are many ways, but one way is:
Connect your tab to a Mac or pc via usb and use file manager / Windows explorer to drag and drop files. You can put them in the Videos folder or create one. I don't know all the formats the built in app will play. You can also get BS player or MX player or vlc player from the play store. Those support a lot of formats
To delete the wonder of nature video, you can open the gallery app, select it by long press, and delete.
