Develop Bugs

Windows Mobile Books

Have a new HTC Hd phone with windows mobile 6.1. I'm having a few problems with the phone. At times, the camera will not open up the pictures. It says it can't read a jpeg file. (The pictures were either on the phone as a default or I took them with the phone.) Windows media player won't play movie. (i've tried avi or wp4 file formats).
I'm sure there are updates to fix this stuff, but not sure how to find them. I've searched this site, but didn't see anything.
I'm sure other problems will come up. There seems to be allot of great information on this site, but allot of it is dealing with reg editor. I would like to know more about the operating system and how to use the reg editor before I start playing around with it. I'm not a programmer, but i know how to move around the phone. Is there any books that discuss basic to intermediate levels of how to use the operating system.

This forum has a wiki
Forget about MS documents. What you want is to look at the sticky parts of this forum, do some reading, learn how to unlock the phone (if locked) and move to WM6.5.x
WM6.1 is ancient history, if you have the HD.
This forum rules are simple- read, read, and then read. Only than open a new thread. I bet anything you want to know has been already asked and answered many times.

Hello All
I am plannng on making my own set if apps and games for windows mobile. Problem is, I dont know what to make! I own a HTC Touch HD, which is why I'm psotin this here - sorry if its posted in the wrong place!

i personally would like a decent smooth (few windows mobile games have what i call a playable framerate) doodle jump like game. theres one going around recently called boing (i think) but its largely unfinished.

How about a speed camera application.
One similar to "CAMERAWARE" would be good, search google for CAMARAWARE.

Please i would like to see Vexed game remake on ppc with beter animation and so on...

How about a car valuation app, that be cool for the right ppl

You could make me a World of Minecraft Client for WinMo
AFAIK there isnt one and I'm hopelessly addicted to that game
edit: its java based so I could quite likely be wrong about there not already being one for winmo

How about making an application to test the polarity of a speaker. I have the on phase off phase test tone but need a software to tell it apart.

Thank you all for your ideas - much appreciated.
I'm not too sure yet which one I will be working on first - I will look through them this evening and make my mind up
Keep them coming!

Dude, I will drink a beer in your name if you make me a probably simple app./fix. I would love if you could somehow get the Audio Booster to work without putting a 3,5 jack in the phone. I use a bluetooth headset and i would love to run the Audio Booster over bluetooth.. music would sound so much better!! can you make this happen

t-pain/autotune app would be funny like iphone has

please make a last.fm client/programme.... I really miss this and it's not quite as good streaming it through skyfire
game wise - i'd love to see a bombjack game made with proper controls for WVGA - have a look at bombjack on MAME
iphone type app.... how about the magnifer glass app using the phones camera? (always did like that one)

Tower defense games are a lot of fun.
I'd also love to see an app that would allow me to easily create and manage playlists for music player apps like Slide2Play or Windows Media. Although if this already exists someone please let me know!

Once again thank you everyone, I will try my absoulute best to complete all these apps/games for you at sometime.
It won't be long now before I pick a app and build it - PROMISE!

Here a last.fm app, don't know if streaming works good, i'm not a subscriber...

Eye catch apps
Hello Dude so i have alot of Ideas but i can`t do them so here is what APPS/GAMES we need for FUN and etc.​
1st. I already saw APP called BigBrother so what doing this application is to track your friends by the GSM Number and for that reason use the GPS google Maps for example BUT here is the funny thing that of course the program can`t track your friends by the number but can track you.. so when you are in a coffe with friends you can say hey i always know where are you, because i can track you by your number.. then they of course will say its not posible.. OK show them.. Just open the APP and simple write the Number of your friend that don`t believe you after few seconds the Exact Location will be displayed WOW.. the APP show the location of your device, but your friends don`t have from where to know this.. and for example when they are close to you i mean you are with the in the same place ... its looking like you really can track them anytime anywhere..
If app like this is made will be awesome, just to have a Nice finger friendly Interface and to look Serious like a Serious TRacking SPY Application.
2nd We need program who work with Fake Finger Prints... so i will give you example of one app you can create whatever you want.. using the methoud of visual apperiance..
Let we have something like Lock Screen with Finger Print Scaner.. of course this is not posible for real but who know this So for example your screen is locked.. when you wake up the device in the Center of your Screen will appear a square or some kind of button in that place you need to put your finger so this will have a delay of few seconds for example 3 seconds delay, because need to look like your finger get scaned ..
After you put your finger in this place the app will react on touch and will be writen SCANING PLEASE WAIT... after 3 seconds will appear a on the same place where was writen this SCANIN Stuff will apear APROVED or something like this and will appear a real Finger Print so nobody will know that this is not your real finger print..
With FInger Print Scaners can be done alot of super good visual apps to catch eyes and your friends or some iPhone fans to be really crazy with that.. this was just example of course.
3rd the Last but maybe the Best is Morphing the Voice in call, there already have app that can Morph your voice but you just can record a Morphed Voice and is very buggy for what im talking is a Morphing Your voice in real Time during Phone CALL, this will be extremaly good Software and thousend of peoples will NEED IT.
Imagine if you can call someone and to Morph your voice like you are Older, younger or Even Women LOL... this is really a Serious Software i know that can be made with sure just nobody take it serious to do something like this. Like i say now already have Soft Like this for WindowsMobile but its a BAD and its not integrated with the Phone Calls so you just can Morph your Voice for FUN not in a CALL and also there are just few samples to choice like Robot voice etc witch are bad so.. the Morphing voice is all from the Dicibels and etc if we have Soft like this intergrated to work in CALL and you can add into the Menu option like Equalizer with this methood everyone can do whatever settings he like and to make unique Morphed Voice from a Yuonger Girl/Guy to a Older almost everything.
The APP must to beLight not so visual good aperience need to work Faster and Smooth this is something that we really NEED and totaly will break all Other Devices and Apps.
4. Here already have similar apps like this but none of them is finger friendly and with good quality Sound so im talking about a Brain Wave Machine the app must to be with Some good interface finger friendly like a Music Player and to contain only the Brain wave Tones im speaking about ISOTRONIC tones because they are much better and they are the best from all Brain tones so in the Market already have with Binaural Beats but the Isochronic Tones are the best of the best, i can help you by provide you over 50 Diferent and Hight Quality Isotronic Sounds for diferent kind of MODS like from Euphoria, deep meditaion sleep, Chakra Balancing, and alot alot alot more just to integrate in that Player so just simple you need to start the APP and choice what kind of SOUND YOU want.
If you don`t know for what im talking about and the peoples wonder what this sound are here is some review for all of you.
Binaural Beats :
Sine wave generators are used to create two separate frequency waves which are introduced to each ear independently.
The brain reacts by creating a third tone which is the difference between the two. This allows the brain to directly tune into a frequency
that the ear cannot hear! The entire range of Alpha and Theta frequencies (between 5-12 Hz) have been tested extensively in several studies.
It was concluded that a specific combination of frequencies consistently caused a Shift In Consciousness!
Monaural Beats:
This technology uses two tones of equal intensity which result in a crisp and clean sound. Unlike Binaural Beats, Monaural beats are easier
on your brain because there is no need to balance the tones and your mind does not need adjusting time. Monaural Beats use a single tone that
pulses on and off in specific patterns, which is tuned specifically for the frequencies that produce the desired effect.
Isochronic Tones:
If you are looking for the most effective type of brainwave entrainment, Isochronic Tones are the way to go. Isochronic Tones also use equal intensity
tones, but the pulse speed is greater, causing the brain to synchronize with the rhythm. In 1999, Thomas Budzynski Ph.D. published a case in the
Journal of Neurotherapy which showed that a group of 8 college students increased their GPA with the use of audio brainwave stimulation,
and their GPA continued to increase even after the experiment was finished!
P.S i can play the sounds now without a problem with any Player on my Blackstone but will be even easy and beter they to be integrated in one single APP and you don`t need to search them everytime you wana listen. If you like the idea let me know i can provide all the tones for free. Till now NO SOFT like this is avalible, i mean with the best ISOTRONIC SOUNDS
I have alot more ideas so if you ask for more will write​

Performance Computer Using G-Sensor
I believe it would be very fine if you could develop an application for calculating Distance/Travel, Speed and acceleration by using G-sensor. all the similar available application do this job via GPS, not G-sensor.
The hypothesis is easy. Acceleration data are available through G-sensor, then by integrating these data, velocity can be found, and by once more integration from velocity values, distance can be calculated.
Such application is very useful for engineers, and I'm sure soon after developing, it could be commercialized.

Minilyrics-like app
hello!
There is none lyrics app like Minilyrics for WM. The font is customizable, and easy for the eyes to read, the skin is great...but...but the Minilyrics buttons are super small! And the playlist is almost imposible to read and click unless u're using stylus! They seem doesnt want to upgrade the app since last year for WVGA resolution. I have to assign qwerty button to replace the play, stop etc buttons which are so small.
I love to sing along with the song, who doesnt? kareoke in the car, anyone?

[Q] The best true (non-cloud) audio streaming apps?

Hello all,
In light of the recent congressional events regarding ("shhhh") downloaded music, I am now in the wanting to play it safe mode. At my age I have more too loose.
What I'm looking for is the best home to phone streaming app that does not also utilize web based streaming like Audiogalaxy and Subsonic. I am now using both of these but would like to see if there are any alternatives which...shall we say...'are more private'. Simply an app that does not require any website registration but only needs ones own IP to access music.
I would also welcome discussion on the legalities of steaming already downloaded music (home to phone).
Thanks for any thoughts on this topic.
Edit: Now trying Gmote. Can anyone recommend a better one?

Just use Grooveshark.

if you have a daap server at home, say itunes or WDLXTV firmware, there is a simple daap client in the market that works well

Thanks for the reply. After trying Gmote for a couple of days I've decided to ditch it. It tends to start/stop too much on a 3g network, and the UI is horrid. The daap server sounds interesting. If you could recommend one that will work on either XP or W7 I'll try that...assuming there is such an animal.

Is there any app to stream live radios station ?
I move from WM to Android, and I would like to know if there is any app to stream live radio station Wm normally use WMP, but android doesn't support Wmp
please if some one know something about it point me to the right direction.

there are ways to use VLC to do it.

Have you tried Homepipe?

Not yet, have looked that one over a bit. Gmote lags too much on 3g so I'll try Homepipe next. Oh yea, and my Bucs almost came back on your Ravens last Sunday. If only Freeman had started his "famous" quick offense earlier.
@dsuare021979 For music streaming try:
Pandora (unlimited access is 36/year but has the best quality sound IMO.
A Online Radio (the "A" is part of the app name)
iheartradio
Last.fm

Thank you for the help, but none of them work with the radio station I normally stream
MEGA 97.9 NY. I hope we get an app like wmp soon.

Checked into Homepipe a bit more closely and it's another type that requires a website registration, which is what I'm trying to avoid. Gmote is what I'm looking for, but it's too buggy for me. Guess I'll keep looking but use Audiogalaxy in the meantime. I like Subsonic but on the EVO it has a tendency to repeat the first song all the time. Anyway, thanks for the input.

Just a question to see if you know something that I don't... if you go through and Retag all of your mp3s there should be no real way to see where they came from... ripped from your own cds or otherwise.... at least that's my opinion. But maybe you know something that I don't?

My only experience with re-tagging is to get the files to look right in Audiogalaxy. I collect alot of "Greatest Hits" albums and most of the tracks each have their own album tag. I wish I knew the answer to your question for my own benefit. Anyone else?

I finally found and app that let me stream any radio stations around the world, ( RADIO TIME ) it work great

Is it possible yet to put music without Zune?

Anyone know?

Maybe, I think the music folders shows up once you use that mass storage hack but its been advise that you shouldn't do that.
But then again, there's nothing wrong with zune. Easy and automatic syncing of pic/music/videos/movies/podcast. I've been using it since 1.0 and it pretty good, I will never go back to drag&drop. Don't have to go diving to folders for a certain file to drop, just open the software and drap and drop it, or let it sync automatically.

I wonder if Drop Box would work for music. I don't see why not, just you would have to pay because they only give you 2GB for free.

And video files? Im thinking of getting the focus, coming from Android.

What's with all these weird questions?
Zune is the music and video player for personal collections.
It also handles podcasts.
Dropbox won't be playing music for you. Since when was that a dropbox feature?
Do some research please. Search the forums as well as they have a wealth of knowledge.
Asking questions like this means you were too lazy to bother with research as this has been well known for a very, very long time.

This is a key problem with WP7 so the question will be asked until WP7 is fixed.
The current answer is, this can be done via a hack but is not guaranteed to work, and the resulting music is restricted to limited protocols: cannot be accessed as files by WP7 software and afaik cannot be organized by folders.

APP Google Play Music All Access

So I signed up for this new service and its awesome. Way better then pandora and other music apps. Especially with the ONE's sounds, perfect app to take advantage for any music lover. Anyone else plan on taking advantage of this or already sign up for it?

Cool.
Heard about this last night.
I have a couple of questions.
So, I know there is a spotify element to it, with subscription and all.
But the "your music uploaded" that you can stream/listen to on the move, is this part free? or part of the subscription?
Sorry if that sounds a bit "window lickers special"
Cheers

If you choose to use Google play music without the subscription, you can upload 50,000 songs to their cloud and stream it to your device as much as you'd like. The all access just gives you similar features to Spotify and Mog... Options to download music to the device and custom artist radio stations etc... I signed up for all access, created a 30 songs playlist, and went on a 5 mile run today... Totally worth it Imo. Especially with the HTC One.

The limit is actually 20,000 songs. A friend of mine ran into that uploading his library yesterday after the announcement.

Yes the limit for uploads is 20,000 and that is not at all a new feature. All Access is just the payed subscription portion which adds functionality like internet radio with on-demand as well, similar to slackr, spotify and mog.

Signed up myself so far I'm impressed. Little disappointed in the classic rock options but everything else is great. Just kind of wish there a quick widget button to enable or disable beats it's really not meant for all songs
my One sent this

I signed up for it the day I could; just to test it. I figure it's a free trial, why not.
Well; I'm keeping it for sure.
I always have to cut some music out, because I stay really close to the 20k limit; and I've tried other services, but when I am out and about I hate switching apps. This just makes life so much easier. From what I can tell, they have a really good catalog to choose from for me; from hardcore, to pop-punk, to hip-hop to dubstep. I've really enjoyed it the past few days and I am definitely keeping it.
It's a unified solution, that in my opinion, hits the nail on the head. The new UI is fantastic as well, I love what Google is doing!
If you haven't tried it, I definitely recommend it!

I want to try it out... but it's not out in Canada : (
