[APP Request] "Beatport app" Hello developers - Windows Phone 7 General

Hi,
I dont know if you guys know this site, but its similar to itunes. I use this site more than 5 times a day on my pc because i am a music producer/dj. You can pay there from your paypal account and your Visa. It would be great if there would be an beatport app for WP7. Of course you can access the mobile beatport site but it looks very cheap and user unfriendly. There is an iOS app and android app (i think) already. This app in Metro style would be delicious!
Also i heard there is an API available for developers from beatport.
Please answer if this is possible to make, cheers.
P.S.: heres the original site http://www.beatport.com/
Edit: heres the API Documentation: http://api.beatport.com/

Bump - definitely would like to see a beatport app
In other news, you knew they had a mobile site right? http://m.beatport.com/

as you can see i wrote already that the mobile site looks ugly

No one wants to make it? an unofficial app would be great too, i hope someone will try

Maybe in March I could try. University exams before.

thanks bro! wish you luck in your exams!!!

Please can someone make this app? it would be so much better for WP to have this app, not always lookin up to android and iphone Beatport themselves wont make the app i guess. Like others there are not opened for WP

Quite some work
I had a quick glance at the API documentation: Looks ok, but I don't think that an app to cover that is something for a rainy weekend. This would probably amount to a serious undertaking - we are speaking about some weeks of work, if you ask me, especially if starting from zero, i.e. without access to the source of either the iOS or the Android app.
To find a WP7 developer who does this just for the love of it and some people asking nicely will be difficult.

hmm yea, i thought it would be a good move for WP7 because the android app isnt so impressive and the ios one was removed and wont appear again probably it would be good for everyone, because electronic music is rising and there is not so much electronic stuff on zune :/

Ya hay una app en la pagina oficial, esta descargada, no se si alguien pueda hackearla o algo, a mi tambien me interesaria.

Where the hell is windows live messenger???

You would think Microsoft would create this application as a priority. Jesus, even my blackberry has WINDOWS LIVE!
What the hell!
Yes that was quite puzzling.
I would have thought that it would be on there before it launched.
I'll laugh if AOL sticks an AIM client on the marketplace before Microsoft gets an MSN Messenger client up there. It's boneheaded moves like this that have defined Microsoft lately and it's why they went from almost owning the smartphone market to being in a position where they may never be able to catch up.
Did ya'll look on the marketplace??? There is a live messenger there. The company that made isn't microsoft but they got paid by ms to do the app and it's the official messenger app...
Dont really get the confusion

TRUST ME IF THAT POS APP WAS REMOTELY PRACTICAL I WOULD HAVE USED IT.
Pretty much the "in and out" phone is just keeping me out from using my phone! Seriously this OS has immense potential but the launch was seriously half-assed, I would have been happier if they had delayed the launch window to early next year.
This is going to give a bad impression to many early adopters, let's not forget the issues with supply.

I don't know...I've played with the phones now quite a bit and really like the polish and features...yes, there are some glaring features missing but they will be added. I was told at an MS kickoff meeting earlier this week that they are going to have a ton of updates starting in January...they kept saying they are betting the farm on this so we'll see...
I would agree on the marketing front however...I don't understand how they can do such a good job with xbox360 marketing and do such a half assed attempt with the wp7 which is arguably more important to them in the long term.
They must be working on a native WLM. They make one for iPhone and Blackberry. They have produced a version for 3 on Android, which a third party coded.
It plugs into Yahoo Messenger too. Plus WLM now talks to Facebook Chat. They are rolling out that feature as we speak. But only a few people have it right now.
Maybe they will release WLM at CES. I can imagine Ballmer and Zuckerberg make an announcment together. Or at Mobile World Congress at the latest.
Maybe they were waiting for Microsoft Lync, which is apparently coming to Windows Phone in 2011. I just hope that, whatever it is, its a native app and ideally integrated into the OS.
Was just doing some reading about Microsoft Lync, sounds perfect...
Add Contacts and Share Presence and Instant Messages Users can add contacts on Windows Live, AOL, Yahoo!, and Google Talk networks to their contact list. With the Communicator “14” client, users can share presence status information and participate in instant messaging with colleagues and customers who use public IM connections.

you can go to live.com and use the web messenger from the menu-> messenger option
peace
The Zune HD Live Messenger only came out last month and had Facebook chat integrated. They're probably working on it.
What on earth are you talking about??? Messenger was available from day one and was one of the first apps I downloaded! its made by another company though. not microsoft. have a proper look or bing it in market place.

There's no need to be like that when evidently you haven't read all the posts. We know there's a messenger but it's not an official one and as such it doesn't do the job for the OP and others.
But it wont get more official. I read somewhere that the company that made the current wlm was paid by ms to code the app as an official one.
I'm pretty sure though that it will get updated with more features. The current version certainly lacks some features compared to the ios version.
ps: here is the link to the article
http://www.liveside.net/2010/10/14/whos-building-the-official-messenger-app-for-wp7-not-microsoft/
Microsoft has often asked other developers to make app for them like the facebook one on winmo 6.5 but they would always mark it as an official MS app, so if that company is in charge I'm sure it would be a different version without their name on it.
That aside, I can't see Microsoft developing a WLM app for Zune HD and an awesome one for the iPhone and then not make one for their own platform. Doesn't make any sense.
Pretty sure we will see something soon enough that surpasses the cheesy app that is out now.
Why the hell would MS pay somebody to make the messenger and not provide them with the ability to have it run in the background?
I have read the same articles, and it smells rather off to me.
Personally, i cant wait for a better one. (or the existing one to get out of pre-alpha phase, coz that's how bad it is)
what dont you guys get? the official app is the one on the market. microsoft just paid another company to make it.

"Messenger by Miyowa"? What don't we get? Well, for starters, how you managed to use it to message anyone. That thing is rubbish, I can't imagine Microsoft let anyone put that thing out in their name and, last I checked which was about 45 seconds ago it was the only IM app in the marketplace.
The app doesn't have to run in the background. Beejive and IM+ for iPhone worked quite well before iPhone supported background operation and it worked via push notification. I think they both support background execution now but why bother when push works so well? That's memory freed up to use for something else.
Finally, a really half-assed solution that works is the SMS / IM interface most carriers provide. Some only do AIM but some cover them all. Do a google search for your carrier. AT&T, for example, uses SMS numbers starting with 265000 to log in and so on. If you're really that hard up for IM it's better than nothing, but just barely.
People are funny in this world.
In theory this OS is a platform for the community to build on.
Too bad the community is a mob with pitchforks.
Who in their right mind will develop anything when the populous will undoubtedly attack their creation?
Microsoft can't fix people. Why does anyone need messenger when all they do is hate on everything new?
I read that news about this third party company and I have a strong feeling that it's false. There is no way, that MS which created official messenger app for every other platform would outsource something so native to an unknown third party company for the windows OS!
I have a feeling that was a fake news spread by that third party company.

[PRJ] NotesLive - Notes and TODOs with PUSH notifications

Hello,
I am slowly starting to develop for Windows Phone 7 now, and I want to realize one app I have in my mind since day 1 I first heard about WP7 back on MWC (too bad I wasn't in Spain, it's not _that_ far ).
Anyway, this app is about Notes. What I am trying to do is that you always pick one note you want to show on homescreen and it will show via live tile. How? This part is thought through, just need to realize it now.
Another part is TODOs, where you will be able to also add DATE to some TODO and when this time comes (+- few minutes - WP7's notifications are limited, I am not sure how much yet), it will popup as Toast message.
But to make this both come true, it will require one thing - you to register (I thought of using device ID, but I want to be able to manage it from internet from your PC too. I have done autologging when app starts, so its not the issue) and all (or just the one, pinned note) and all dated TODOs will be stored on my own server solution, pushing notifications to your device. It might seem wrong to keep your data on my server, but that's how it works now. Sorry guys.
I have now done logging & registering part and some base notes stuff (mostly server side, in PHP), I will be working during next days on the notes and TODOs meanwhile (hell, I might even try combining them somehow? Tips are welcome here!), I lost all free time lately so I have only few hours per week.
Are you glad I am going to WP7? I still don't have any WP7 device though, anyone wanna donate me one? (Even the Samsung Taylor as the developer's pre-production one is enough ). I am buying new car so there isn't money for WP7 phone. All tests are done in emulator. Hope it works on real device...
Regards, OndraSter
Good stuff. Hope to see you active on WP7 development as well and other developers follow

[Q]Cuttherope.ie as app for WP7?

hi,
Is it possible to make an app which plays cut the rope from the website like a facebook website shortcut with new interface?
sorry for my bad english it is not my favourite language
I'm shocked that this game is not available for wp7 yet..... So they use IE9 but, no WP7 ?
Still a fun game to play in IE9...
Yes, i heard of that game a while ago and since 2 weeks i got to know it better on Windows 8 and now i want to play it on my windows phone without IE
There are some people who take the facebook mobile page an make a new interface for that with other buttons...
So someone could take the cuttherope.ie website and give it an app-like interface so we could "cut" the rope an not click ^^
Yea, I played through the IE 9 version (got to the end, I want more). So even making the IE9 version into a WP7 program does not give you access to the full game.
I suggest that everyone who has WP7 email the dev and ask for them to make the game for WP7, their support email is support @ zeptolab DOT com (I want them to make a game for us, not give them tons of spam) . I emailed them already...
The only way to get this is to get to the dev. Have everyone you know email them requesting it for WP7 and you might be able to buy it....
EMAIL THEM !!!!!
It looks like they have, or are working on, a Windows 8 version. Depending how Windows 8ish Windows Phone 8 is, they might be waiting on that.
would be nice to have as a native app ... 1+ to this thread's questions...

Facebook update 2.5

http://wmpoweruser.com/facebook-for-windows-phone-update-v2-5-now-in-marketplace/
Not tried it yet but thought it worth a mention.
yeah but still some bugs there, some massive bugs.
NO pictures in messages, if you get a picture via message you dont see it, its just a empty message,
The same is with links, if you send or get a link from a friend or somebody, you dont see it, just an empty message. now the messages look nice and metro but not helpfull with not displaying pictures in messages, and links.
App is slower loading and there's a bit of a lag pivoting left and right. It was never as slick as the people hub but its got worse with this new version.
My phone is an Omnia 7. I expect it is fine on 2nd generation handsets. Will be worse on the Tango 256/384MB devices though...not a great experience.

There is a slight bit of lag on the nokia 900 but nothing insanely annoying. I do like that I can finally like comments. That was my main gripe about the app.
I still can't tag people in my comments am I missing something? I typed with the the persons name and it didn't work. Do u type @thenname like u do on the computer? How do u know you're tagging someone? Does the auto suggest for ur friends pop up like on the PC?
I think the lag is just bad coding to be honest. Although I won't hold it against the dev team because they're obviously working hard to bring us all the features. Windows Phone 8, come on baby!
The update is nice, but it's still not even as functional as the FB mobile website, let alone the Facebook apps for iOS and Android (which both have proper timeline support and this new Facebook camera app).
Also the lag is a huge issue on my 1st gen HTC Mozart. Totally blows away the idea that WP7 is a fluid smooth experience; Welcome to the Android world of stutter and non-responsive scrolling. Personally I'm going to stick to using the People hub (for the basics) + touch.facebook.com (for more advanced operations). The only really useful thing about the app is being able to check in other friends.

It's written and published by Microsoft isn't it? If MS can't write a decent smooth app for their own OS, that's a pretty huge embarrassment. I think it's just trying to do too much at once; photos, news stream and friends all syncing at once when you start the app. They need to make it do less (maybe offload some to a daily background service) and test it more thoroughly on old WP7 hardware.
It takes 11 seconds to start up on my Omnia 7. I wouldn't mind if it was pre-loading my feed but it isn't - that takes a further 2 or 3 seconds once it is loaded.
I don't really care that much about loading time..its the lag pivoting in-app that bothers me.
I'm guessing it is stretching the memory capabilities by having news feed, notifications, photos and favourites/groups/more/apps screens pre-loaded as pivot pages. Obviously Android and iOS do not have this problem because that information is not being displayed on a pivot UI.
eu acho que ainda falta alguns ajustes para o aplicativo ser bom!
only performance improvement I found is when scrolling through your timeline fast it scrolls properly and isn't so jaggy like the versions before. rest is the same.
It loads a lot slower than the previous version for me on the Lumia 800.
But it is not made by Microsoft, the app is outsourced by Microsoft to another company which apparently can not make it any better
Video....
I haven't used this app since v1.0. Does the app finally allow you to upload video to FB? Or any app for that matter?
Still can't go to another person's profile, and view THEIR friends list.
Can't believe they can't get this feature implemented...

Watch app development, best practice?

Hello everyone,
I just got my brand new GT classic, 2 days ago and I can say I'm pretty happy with what I got. Also this is my first smartwatch at all.
Beside that I'm Software developer for over a 10 years in many different aspects, languages, technologies and frameworks. So far I've developed applications for desktop, web and mobile platforms, but now comes real challenge.
I would like to develop app for turning on and off my smart lights in the house, so I can be even more lazy
If anyone has any experience in developing watch apps please let me know more details.
I'm interested in best language (I think I read it's Java, which is one of my strongest programming languages) to develop watch apps, most often framework if there is some specific, API-s from Huawei, if there is some useful and so on. Really every help and details are more than welcome.
Also if anyone interested on pairing during app development, would be possible also. App won't be commercial, and will be free for everyone if I made it some day.
Thank you for your attention, best regards.
Lol. I can't help but I though it was funny to think a way so we can became more lazy lol

It's a great idea. If you do a Google home integration instead it would work with everything that already interfaces with that.
So far I have Philips Hue & Hive bulbs/lamps/plugs, and British General plugs and sockets, all working with Google Home. As GH already has links to many smart devices I think linking to that would be possibly simpler as only one connection point?
Maybe also do it for Alexa for those who use that?
That way 2 integrations would cover almost all smart devices that allow connections.

This watch is not supporting adding apps. And propably will never be even if Huawei give us access to rom file. Its to much hardware limited. You can only create watch face on it OR create app for android, linux, windows to upload faces, manage options, show notifications to use it instead Huawei Health.
