first - i have an hp ipaq 6315, which looks similar to the phones on the first page of this site, but not identical. am i in the right place?
I understand that upgrading from windows mobile 9 to 10 is not as simple as doing something like this on a pc. according to howard forums it relies so heavily on rom now that i have to wait to see if an upgrade is even going to be released.
anyone know if hp or t-mobile has any plans to upgrade the 6315 so i can use windows mobile 10.
my other question is - clearly the mobile version plays streaming audio/video content, i've done it. however, only seems to play content from ms or t-mobile. i'd like to play some standard content from some websites i like, any idea why, when i type in the URL, it can't play it? it's standard windows media format that plays fine on PC's
thanks
I've been downloading and reencoding a lot of HD movies lately since I just purchased an AppleTV, and I got to thinking. There are USB H.264 hardware encoders that speed up the process of encoding movies, and all they really do is add to the processing power to speed up the encoding process. Is there some way we could use the processor in our phone to do the same thing?
Here is a link to one of these USB Encoders at Amazon:

I'm no developer, but it would be awesome if someone could figure this out!

I would think that even if this was possible the simple fact that you would be using a USB cord to attach the phone to the computer would negate any help that the phone would give you. it's like using a flash stick with windows 7 for readyboost, sure it will give you more memory but it's 100 fold slower than ram and is more like the page file on your computer.
if you have an insane amount of ram in your computer, I would actually suggest turning your paging file off, and that should speed things up a bit as it won't be loading your process' and information into a pagefile, instead it will be using strictly the awesomesauce of your ram's ability to communicate with the CPU alot faster than a page file can. And don't worry if your computer runs out of ram on Ubuntu or Windows 7 it will automatically add a page file back so that the computer doesn't freeze. I'm using windows 7 Premium and convert files alot with no paging file with only 4gigs of ddr3 with a athlon ll x2 p340 cpu and it's quicker than with, also makes games and programs alot snappier to
I can't imagine that these USB encoder keys that I linked to above are useless, so USB is probably not the bottleneck you assume it is.
Also, I'm running Snow Leopard on a MBP, using 64bit Handbrake with 4gb of RAM. Running OS X without a paging file is a terrible idea, so that won't help. It's not that my computer is encoding movies slowly, it's that if I could be doing it faster with a little help from my Epic so I have 3 cores crunching data, why not?
Hey!
I downloaded Blade III ROM from ZTE's website and deodexed it and zipaligned and I tested some files on my ZTE Blade and some on my Galaxy Nexus..
For me the best app from Blade III is the "Full Share" (DLNA) that can share files via WiFi to another devices e.g. PS3, PC, iMac
and it can watch the files from PCs, iMac, and from another devices that have this app, etc.
I was only able to watch .mp4 videos and AVI videos didn't show nothing but at least voice works with .Avi files..
App is in the attachment
Sounds pretty damn awesome. Going to try it out, thanks!
thx 4 this...but how do i get my pc/etc to show up?

Np. to see PC you have to change the sharing settings, on Win7 it is using firewall to protect PC so on Win7 it is harder but not impossible to share files.
On Windows Vista go to windows media player settings sharing, enable sharing... (You can try this on Win7 too) (On Win8, it should be able to enable from options>*?* devices???...)
If I remember well then enable/change those..:
I just got myself this Windows Surface RT Tablet (finally) after having been through many cheaper tablets in the past, because I had been unable to afford the Surface. So, now that I have it, and have already done all I can with it (which isn't much!), I have found that I am unable to even PLAY MOST OF MY VIDEOS (most of them are mkv, avi, mp4) which is one reason I got a tablet to begin with! I have not been able to find ANY video player apps that are even worth TRYING in the MS App Store, and so far any searches I have done online for "How to install programs on surface RT", or even "How to hack my surface RT tablet" have not come up with any answers! I did find one article on how to "Jailbreak" the tablet, but even then, it will only actually RUN a tiny number of programs.
I have become so fed up and am out of patience for this thing!
I can't watch most of my movies, I can't figure out how to play the Win8 SNES Emulator (since I can't install the game ROMs), I can't install Firefox (my ONLY browser!), I hate how the Home Screen only allows you to pick from the pre-installed backgrounds, and I can't load my own wallpaper like I can on my laptop, and I really hate the Home Screen interface with all the annoying little tiles! Can anyone offer advice, or point me to where I can get some of this fixed??
THANKS! :fingers-crossed:

The RT runs RT windows 8, which doesn't run x86 apps aka .exe files. You can only install apps from the store without jail break. Also there's no Firefox for rt, I think you were confused on what rt could do compared to full windows.
All wallpapers can be changed via settings or control panel using the classic desktop. For video files the rt doesn't support every format, it'll work with the sane format every windows machine does. MP4 will work, but I'm guessing you have mkv.

I am feeling your pain, i got my surface rt for a steal on eBay and I was super disappointed to find out that I cant even plug my Razr MAXX HD in and transfer a single file either way... Need to find a loop hole quick or something like that will make things better for me...

Errm you should be able to. The RT has USB host. Should plug it in and it should just appear as a device as normal, tested with an Xperia M and Surface RT (not my tablet though). It only worked with my phone set to mass storage or MTP modes in the USB menu, didnt work for the picture/photo/camera mode and doesnt work for ADB.
Failing that, both have bluetooth file transfer....

That's different, you have some issue with your phone. My RT detects my N4 & LGOG.

When I plug in the razr maxx hd via USB- Motorola device manager tries to install and it is not compatible with RT. So I resorted to uploading from my phone to a cloud app called MEGA and then downloading through my tablet browser...

You dont have to use their software unless motorola have really cocked the razr maxx up big time.
Yeah they cocked it up really good- it wont even connect to my ps3 via USB, things we sacrifice for amazing battery life. Oh and if i connect it to the surface as FTP- I can view the pictures that are on my phone storage only, no sd card or video support either.

Why can't you install the roms?? I just used windows explorer to copy them to the C: drive on my Surface RT. I put them in a folder within the downloads folder, but you can probably put them anywhere. Then you open the Snes8x and just add that folder as a Rom directory (press the "Load Rom" button). Someone on this site pointed out you can enable keyboard controls by swiping in from the right, and click settings->Input Settings.

Good news is, VLC is coming to Metro. They will submit their app to the store in the next following days.
Bad news is, right now this support x86 only. You have to wait for ARM support.
I feel for you. My school has given us all windows surface RTs and they're kind of annoying. I've found a few workarounds for a lot of my problems though. If you're having trouble playing .mp4s then that's just weird. Unless they're encoded really strangely, rt's video player should play those. However if that's no help it's worth trying out PressPlay, a free video player with very small ads that do not interfere at all and can be removed for a buck or two that let's you
1. Play external subtitles, although I've found it impossibly buggy but I haven't done extensive tests so it could be useful
2. Play .mkvs although that's experimental and also doesn't work very well
3. More features in general such as pausing without bringing up UI, changing playback rate, stuff like that.
Now if you have mkvs I would recommend using this program on a jailbroken windows rt:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2368706
It's a program called ffmpeg and it's ported from normal windows. Make sure to download ffmpeg2.1_ARM.zip not ffmpeg0.6_arm.zip
with this program you can copy the video and audio from your mkv to an mp4 so it can play on your rt if you extract fmmpeg to a folder and then run this in command prompt(include the quotation marks and make sure to use backslashes(\) not forward slashes(/)):
cd "The bin folder in wherever you extracted ffmpeg to for example C:\ffmpeg\bin"
ffmpeg -i "Your mkv for example C:\myvid.mkv" -c copy -map 0:v -c copy -map 0:a "Your output mp4 for example C:\myvid.mp4"
That will also go super fast because there's no compression involved, it's just copying all video tracks and audio tracks from and mkv to an mp4.
In fact if you continue to use this command a lot you speed up the process heaps by making a batch file including these 2 lines of code:
cd "Again, your location of the bin folder in the folder you extract ffmpeg to, for example C:\ffmpeg\bin"
ffmpeg -i %1 -c copy -map 0:v -c copy -map 0:a "%~n1.mp4"
and then put that batch file into your SendTo folder(C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo).
If you do that then all you have to do is right click on one of your mkvs and click SendTo whatever you named your batch file and it'll make an mp4 with the same name in the same directory.
As far as snes games go snes8x has now been taken off the store but you can get a port of the desktop app of snes9x from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2339228
if you have a jailbroken device. Although it is an emulator and it doesn't neccessarily run great so if you have the original surface RT as I do I would stick with 2D games. But test them and figure it out.
In fact if you have a jailbroken device there's a thread here all about apps ported to the RT or native for the RT right here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2092348
If you have any trouble with any of that I'm happy to help.

Thanks, I have an old Intel NUC DCCP847DYE I will test this on and let you know...
Does this support the MCE Remote?
Edit: I tried different bios settings with the following on/off: UEIF, Legacy, Secure Boot and no luck, not able to boot from SSD after installation.

Try to see if the bios has any way to set HDD mode to AHCI
Just tried this on a Chromebox CN60 (Celeron 2955U) and it boots and works quite 'ok'.
Things that don't work, that make it unusable for me:
Nothing related to video playback works, tried PLEX and YouTube
Wi-Fi networks get detected but joining them doesn't work
Bluetooth doesn't seem to work, my BT remote gets detected by my Phone and MacBook Pro but it doesn't get detected by the chromebox
Seems promising, if this issues gets addressed, I'll use it for sure, I just care about PLEX streaming
Thanks for your work!
