as the sun said to the black hole I have a few odd Questions about my orbit.

Hi all thanks for all yuor help.
Does anyone know if i can get sky on deman, 4OD on my XDA orbit ? Also when i try and stream radio off i player i have to open it in real player wont play in browser any ideas ?
Cant seem to get iplayer working on the video side either.
Also when i try and watch a utube mobile video i get errors and it wont play.
Can it handle any kind of Direct X ? might have to go find that old doom game i had back on my simbian thing.
On the overclocking is there any kind of stabiility tester ?
Also is there any way to hack a normal XP exe file to mobile compatible installer / program.
anyone recomend a really cheap tarrif no txts needed no more then 60 mins needed but unlimited web access would be the aim.
Oh and for all of you that havent tried it ( i havet tried it on this device but i beleave it should work will update) have a look at orb.com its a way to stream all yuor PC media to any device with a browser kinda nifty
Oh and i know the answers no on this one but wares the video out ? just a composite out would have been nice via the usb.
oh and anyone use a radio transmitter thing for ipods to radios if so recomend a good one and the same for stereo bluetooth headphones.
Oh and though i will try this later i have a blue tooth mouse mogu, think it will work ?
its not essential i am just explorring the limits of the device.
only dissapointment was no IR was going to be auniversal remote for my home and work and many other places i guess i should have checked more but i read on one review it has IR :/
thanks any ideas hear say thoughts welcome

oh and anyone know of a way to get the radio on without the headphones in i realise it uses as an aerial but i guarantee it can work without it, i had a lobster with DVB that worked with just a paper clip in it and as long as it was in one place ie put down while i worked it picked up a few stations so FM should easily trump that.
Also a good case that will stop it cracking when i drop it which i will. Just trying to get all my questions out any thought are welcome.
oh yea anyone got information on what the mini usb can out through put ie i guess 2 connectors of the 4 are power and 2 data ? i ask as at my work we use a GUI interface with touch screen and if i had that running on this little XDA i could slack for a motnh on the praise alone hehe ( the gui works on registry entries so i guess it probably wont work but that leads me back to earlier questions..
How much does WM6 differ from XP or should i ask is there any similarities ?
Yup i think thats all the questions that i have ben mulling

lol not quite i have thought of 6 or so questions since, can this thing join my local netwrok lan and can it have shared folders and resources.
i'm sorry i know people like to go into depth on one subject but thats far too slow for me and you ya realise how short life is lol i am investigating all these but any help welcome
oh and orbit deffinetly better name the artimes sounds like an art room cleaner or a failed gladiator :s right thats it i am going to do somthing not connected to xda's lol. i think its kartrider.com time online mario kart wicked - oh fyi i want this on my xda if i figure out earlier answers

Jeeeez man, dont ask for much LOL. Ill try to answer as many as possible for you as best I can.
1 - SKY on Demand = Nope not yet (check out which you should have done.
2 - iPlayer not working = To what end. I take it you having issues streaming media? Dont think it will work.
3 - Youtube = Dont bother, seriously. Artemis (Orbit) doesnt srteam it properly, and if you can get it to stream, the video will very VERY choppy.
4 - DirectX = Why? What you wanting to run? As far as I know the Orbit should support Direct3D OK.
5 - Overclocking = Sure, overclock it until it stops responding. Seriously. Peoples results vary on each device. Mine I manage to get to 273.
6 - ??? = Why?
7 - Web Tariff = Think Vodafone Pay n Go do a good tariff which gives you unlimited browsing for small price. Dont keep me to that though, I dont bother with GPRS/EDGE browsing.
8 - Orb.com - Dont need it, I have my home network connected to my PDA and I just stream what I want via wifi through Coreplayer.
9 - Video out = Dunno if there is one. There is a diagram around here of the out outputs, Ill see if I can find it (or maybe someone else can help).
10 - Radio transmitter = Just google for one man. (example) (Google results)
11 - Bluetooth Mouse = Again Why? Surely for you to be able to see the screen decent enough, you will be holding the Orbit anyway. Seems like a it would be a pointless/lazy bluetooth add-on.
12 - Radio without headphones = YEs you can obtain an adaptor that will plug iinto your mini usb and act as an aerial. Some/most also have a headphone jack so you can use your own headphones (probably your iPod headphones in your case) example
13 - Good Case = Try GPSforless, they usually have good deals on all sorts (probably have that FM adaptor too).
14 - Attatch to monitor = Dont think it would work anyways. Dont think it would be able to output more than 240 x 320 pixels anyway so itll be the same as th Orbit screen (pointless).
15 - WM6 different than XP = Ehm.......in what areas?? Its a mobile platform so yeah it differs alot, or is quite similair (in respect to using a registry, etc..).
16 - Access Network - Yes it can definately access your network and shared folders. Dont think PC can access it over network though.
Phew !! Well thats me. Please feel free to correct me on anything thats not right (Im sure there is plenty LOL)

SlingPlayer on HD

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?
Supporters Needed to help make this possible http://sling.uservoice.com/pages/18...s/169625-more-finger-friendly-on-wm?ref=title
There are a few more there to relating to WM and HD.

!!! Rosetta Stone for Windows Mobile !!!

Hello everyone, I was wondering if it is possible to have “Rosetta Stone” the language learning software running on HTC Rhodium: Touch Pro2, Tilt 2. I am currently trying to learn Tagalog spoken in the Philippines. I would be very thankful if someone can help me out on this. I am never home since I am a part time student and working full time so this would help me out greatly. If someone can help me out I would be very thankful and as a promise I will buy you a drink
I have tried converting software to convert language files (but I don’t know where to ever start)
I have searched online but majority of the post were at least 2 year old and did not help at all.
I have Rosetta stone on my PC which downloaded form torrents and it is installed but I have to use Power ISO. To mount the language CD and then study.
Also I am a noob therefore detail guide would be greatly appreciated thank you very much.
Someone please help me out!!!!!!!!
Thank you everyone in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!

unless the company has released a mobile version of the ap.... nope. You're stuck learning on your PC or laptop.

You cant just convert an .exe to a.cab fine and pop it in the phone and have it run. You would basically have to rewrite an entire new program.

Do a GOOGLE for Rosetta Stone WM there are lots of options out there on other forums that cannot be posted on this forum

you can convert the downloaded torrent files to mp4 using "videora htc touch pro2 converter"...i have some p90x videos on my tp2...videora converts everything...lol...best of all its free...you may want to convert it while you sleep cause it can be a little slow, depending on the quality you select...

i know this isn't really what you meant but couldn't you run it through remote desktop? i think there a way to have the sound come out through the device speakers.

There is a slight problem with your solution: rosetta stone isn't videos, it's interactive software so you can't just convert it and make it smaller. I think the best solution is just to use RDC. If you tried to put language cds on your phone it would slow to a crawl if not more trying to read the large files.

Thx Everyone!!
Thank you everyone but i guss i have no option than to sit on my PC and study which is like 20 to 30 min a day . I would have been very helpfull since i spend 2 to 3 traveling each day. If anyone figus out anyway please let me know and i would be very thankfull.

Can you please tell me where I can get this ...thank you

I don't think the dude knew what he was talking about. I have been longing for a mobile version of Rosetta Stone forever.
Can't one install Linux or something on the phone and then run the app from there?

Tried a session through remote desktop, only problem is that Rosetta Stone in full-screen wasn't really full-screen, wrong aspect ratio and hence a significant part of the right screen on my phone went unused. I couldn't get speech recognition to work either. Anyone have an idea on how to enable a bluetooth microphone to send audio to the pc from the phone remotely?

adjust remote desktop setting to have it adjust the screen size tot he size fo your phone screen. you can also adjust the color quality there.

Could be. I still need to know how to map my microphone to the remote session and then have Rosetta Stone use the microphone for its own purposes.

since when does Rosetta Stone use a microphone? do you mean speakers?

since it exist!

Nvidia Shield 2017 Chinese firmware -> International

Blast. Just received my Nvidia Shield TV/PC 2017 16GB. It is in Chinese, only options when starting are Chinese, Taiwanese, English, then you have to register to a Chinese video company named iQiyi (I did), then it upgrades to version 6.1 (24.31.89.60) which still has all the Chinese [email protected], half of the interface is Chinese, no Google, etc.
Question:
1) Can I convert to an international version ? How ?
2) Do I need the public open source recovery image (e.g. 6.2.0) at https://developer.nvidia.com/shield-open-source or the developer one at https://developer.nvidia.com/shield-developer-os-images ?
3) Do I just follow http://developer.download.nvidia.co...ATV_2017/6.2.0/HowTo-Flash-Recovery-Image.txt ?
4) Which USB OTG is appropriate for the 2017 version ? (there is no mini USB port)
5) Can I do anything else instead (as I might have to wait for days for an USB OTG cable) ? I.e. can I connect to the Nvidia Shield from an Android smartphone and adb/fastboot from there ?
Thanks
(also, please somebody move this to https://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tv/help )

Hi.
Isn't the Chinese version supposed to be compatible with the Nintendo wii games?
And yeah I think you should be able to flash the normal version of the fw.

Yes, it should but I went with NVS for retro gaming and media playing.
I never managed to install (through Magisk) Kali on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 smartphone (complains about busybox), so I guess my only choice is to wait for that Male-Male USB cable to arrive, then try connecting/flashing with a computer

Hi,
Can you manage to port Nintendo games to international version ?
Thx.

I have to add that connecting to NVS through USB using my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 didn't work. After a struggle, I managed to install Kali NetHunter but "adb devices" does not return anything. Due to bad weather I will have to wait for that USB cable in order to connect from my computer, that's all I can do
@A.M.A.S
I haven't bought anything from iQiyi, since my goal of purchase was not about Nintendo. The interface is localised to Chinese anyway, and the content and payment options are for Chinese users. As far as I can tell, the Chinese version is being advertised as a device to buy/play Nintendo games. And that's what early buyers seem to do (judging from most comments), but China never had a culture for Computers and games back in the day (they were banned), so it doesn't surprise me that they only care/know about Nintendo and some boring 3D FPS stuff of the new millennium. Being an old-school guy from the 80s, my heart is elsewhere.

After the USB OTG arrived I was able to flash the international image (6.2.0) from Nvidia using my Mac. I had some trouble with vendor.img (hint: it needs to be in the same directory as the fastboot command) among other things (for hardware booting to bootloader using the controller buttons it is try-and-error, the entrance to recovery menu is rather unintuitive, etc) but all is well now. The hardware performance is good, the fan is not that bad (still wish there was a fanless case), the controller and remote DO feel a bit cheapish, Android TV and its apps ARE rather limited and rough at edges. I will probably keep it.

Mind if I ask where'd you buy it from? I'm thinking of getting a chinese one for myself.

The Chinese 6.1 image is up on Nvidia's download site, if you want to give it a try. I wouldn't flash the bootloader tho'.

@batoussai
I am in China for the time being, so I bought it locally.

@zadox
I'm in the same situation like you. I tried to install the Google Apps on the chinese ROM but they keep crashing and the pop-up is annoying. So I'm ready to flash the international ROM.
Would you link me to the OTG cable? I can't seem to find the proper one on JD or Taobao.

Thanks! I succesfully updated it. With VPN directly on the router all the services work. Even though when you power on the box it still displays the chinese store logo, the rest is the international ROM. I am loving this box.
The only thing I couldn't manage to work is GeForce NOW. Heck, I think even in US it's not so easy to stream HD games. I could only get 540p at 30 fps
On the same note, I think anyone could try flashing the chinese ROM to the international box to try out those Nintendo games, but probably would need a VPN to a China server to make it work.

migmanson, how much do these boxes cost in RMB? I may need to get my mother-in-law to pick one up this week before she heads to the US.

Guys, thanks for sharing your experience. I planned to buy NVS (now I'm in China) but they (TaoBao bandits) wanted something like 1700-1800 RMB and 2 to 3 weeks for delivery and no guarantees at all, so I bought Chinese version (fair price 1499RMB, I found from private seller just unpacked for 1299RMB) - Replaced the firmware with 6.2.0 International version - all worked flawless, so - I can also confirm - no problem to upgrade Chinese version to International one. Bootloader was locked, after reinstall I lock the new one too. Thanks for that thread again!

anyone can read chinese.. try this apk i got from the firmware zip.
It's the store.. might work on non chinese shields..
https://ufile.io/pranm

will any DRM key missing?

I have both international & Chinese version running in my home.
For the Chinese one, upgraded to the latest 6.3 version firmware. Install Google firmware enabler through external USB. Then you are all set with google play store.
Having tried flashing the Chinese version with international firmware. All work but Netflix app cannot be controlled properly by remote.

Mind if I ask how you got the US version to run under Chinese net? I'm about to set up the vpn on my router because I bought the US version of Nvidia shield. What vpn are you running on your router?

Hi, I bought a US version of Nvidia shield just to avoid all the Chinese content. Problem is, I couldn't even register. I'm trying to setup a VPN on my router now through express. Can you please tell us how you flashed the router with a vpn and which brand? I'm dying to using it and this internet is just frustrating...
Also, I'm a little new to flashing software onto these drives. Can you please tell us how you installed the international version from the Chinese version or vise versa?
Thanks a lot
