New panels?

just randomly checked the sony website, and there are two new panels...
Test CNN panel B10
and
Test Gokivo Navigation B10
http://www.sonyericsson.com/fun/wxh...ntentItemId=36424;ts=1247690304226;phoneId=-1
Don't know how long they've been up, so apologies if this has been posted already (i did quick search before posting and found nothing)
The Test CNN panel has a funky new 'roladex' style front page (3D), and it's generally smoother
The Gokivo is pretty slow to search for places considering I was on Wi-Fi connection, looks like a pretty good panel though, only had a quick look in the menu, and it's got traffic updates too. It's kinda like a cross between TomTom and Googlemaps. Didn't have time to test it, but here's the website link:
http://www.gokivo.com/
So maybe SE haven't quite given up on the xperia just yet....?

they have been out for quite some time, and you know what the good thing about WinMo is: even if developers stop making official stuff, XDA people still make apps that will keep ur phone hip and great for another 5 years

already gone
Found the panels also during a random check and immedatly download the Gokivo panel to try out.
too bad they already disappeared from the SE site. probalby not quite finished yet
I quickly tried Gokivo on my Xperia. it looks good but its very slow in searching and updating maps.
like mentioned in previous post it's in between TomTom and google maps but needs to be a lot faster to be useable.
I hope it gets back on their site soon!

Any chance you can share it? I went to the SE site and thought they might have hidden it from me because I'm not in Nth America or Europe - but now I see it was actually pulled.

well I was thinking.. since they have 2 more xperia phones coming out.. if the panel system isn't being ditched, then perhaps some would be reversely compatible?
just a thought.

Anybody download the cab and care to share the gokivo panel?

You get two games after registering, Texas Hold'em poker and something else.
I loved the poker game but after something like ten games you get locked out and it requires a monthly subscription.

Windows Phone 7 unlocker released

Hey guys seems there is some news files to test on your WP7.
Today we have an exciting breakthrough for the Windows Phone 7 homebrew community - the ability for anyone to unlock a WP7 device without a Marketplace developer account.
Unlocking allows the sideloading of experimental applications that would otherwise can’t be published to the Marketplace, such as those which access private or native APIs.
We’ve taken the pain out of the process involved and put together a super simple executable that will allow anyone to unlock any WP7 device on the market using a USB cable and just a couple clicks.
This tool is completely safe and reversible for the phone. (The app even allows you to relock the phone.)
v1.0 download mirrors:
http://walshie.me/ChevronWP7.exe
http://www.multiupload.com/4T7AYFWLSZ
Notes
Minimum supported OS: Windows XP SP2
As this is our first release, you may run into issues. Please explain your issue in the comments below and we’ll try our best to help.
Expect more goodies/tools to be released in the near future.
We look forward to what the broader community can do with this.

You can't use a "Guest" relationship.

i hope we can use it for the ported win phoneon hd2 ...can we ?

is it true for hd2 ports?

That was quick! Fantastic news for developers. Just need to get our teeth into some native code and we will start seeing some applications which aren't rss readers!

NVM.. stupid question

it isn't working you have to ad this .reg
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsPhone\ProxyPorts]
"DeviceReg"=dword:000069C5

I don't have a WP7 to test this, but MSDN says:

edit: Oh, you can ignore the "Having a developer registered device" prerequisite

Could we get our xbox accounts banned for this? I have absoultely no intention of piracy. i cant stand that **** with someones hard work.

That's exactly how I feel. I'm not going to utilize this to pirate paid apps, just want to use all of the amazing stuff people at xda-devs and other sites are going to put out now
All we need is a Cydia-like marketplace

Now I can't try this because my phone is already unlocked using the Microsoft way, but I'm simply curios - does debugging using Visual Studio work as well? It should, shouldn't it?

I just managed to make/load an app that moos when you turn the phone upside down XD in 3 min.
Roll over android, Think WP7 is going be any C# developers wet dream to work on.

I reverted to old market since new market was very laggy on my EDGE network.I cant even migrate to 3G because in my country, 3G oprates at 2100Mhz band which has very poor indoor penetration,so its not worth paying premium price for 3G

Good.
blockbuster 2.4

not worried at all just an observation

The scrolling seems very laggy, also it looks like google is trying to save on the amount of ram the app uses by constantly loading and unloading images which really sucks.
The market would be so much smoother if it just loaded all tabs at once and cached the images

I rewrote the entire application and I decided to make the UI a little simplified but I improved the navigation and I think It's great! I removed the scheduling feature and I'm rolling back to version 1.0 but you can still download the older version below.
So What's new in this version
Drag the window from top to bottom to close the app
Animations
Shutdown, Hybrid (most requested feature for Windows 8), Restart, Lock, Logoff, Sleep, and Hibernate buttons
Simplified buttons. They are now on the center. And also, cleaned up the UI.
This should support Windows 7
remember that this is a WPF application. Not a Windows8 metro style application.

surely!

Is it possible to add a Standby also?

This is great!
I have yet to install, im reading this at work. Ill give it a go on RTM tonight. Thanks!

Great App, far better than my selfmade shortcuts to 'shutdown.exe'
Thanks!

@OP
Can a tile do different things depending on where you touch/click it?
The Power shortcuts is a great idea. However, taking up one tile per function is a waste of screen space. If it were possible to divide the tile into 4 quadrants, and have a function in each quadrant, that would be preferable.
Otherwise, I'd prefer a two-touch design: Activate tile to have a pop-up menu, then select from pop-up.

new version is available. Check first thread

Excellent work on this app which is much needed in Windows 8. I used the older version with the option to close the app in lower left corner since this is more suited to non touch screens. Your link for that version doesn't work though and I had to google to finally locate it.

Any mirror? Dev's site is down. :S

I only have have this older version, pictured.
Let me know if you still want it. It's only 640k.

[Q] So... Anything new on Smart Updates?

Still gotta DL the WHOLE app (eg. a 1GB game update) instead of just the new/replaced files that Google announced will be launched with the JB release.
Smart Update: http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/17/3248874/google-play-store-smart-updates-enabled
Anyone know what going on with that?

I don't know the technical details of the technology, but from what I read about it I assume it only works for changes in the APK. Games often contain a lot of graphic data, which probably renders this technique kinda useless
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I'm pretty sure they are already enabled but they still show as if you are downloading the entire file. So there is no way to know when they are put to use and how big the apk diff files are.

Busybox free uses it..and facebook 1.9.9 update too...
With the last updates it was finished within seconds..the download....

Interesting. So how does Google select which apps start using it? Or is it some kinda automated update adding apps to its list for Smart Update support?

Noo the devs of the apps must build it in aka support it

I'm pretty sure that isn't the case. Google automatically enables smart app updates for all (I presume) apps. This was said at the I/O conference that developers didn't need to do anything and personally I haven't seen any new API calls nor manifest lines that I need to add.

FWIW, I updated Dead Trigger the other day and it only downloaded around 500k of updated data... so, yea, it does work for games as well.
Again, it depends on the APK and the changes involved.
Something I noticed the other day: the progress bar on the Play Store was slow, and would cut off somewhere in the middle just before updating. If you want to see the real update progress, look in the notification shade.

I think its an switch that the dev must activate to use it

Yes..u r ri8...notification bar shows correct % of update where as progress bar shows size of kbs downloaded...

Yes, I have noticed this also recently. So I guess it was a slow rollout.

I have encountered several updates that use this. I remember Google saying that it is something that will happen automatically and not something that will require any changes on the part of the developers
