Hello everyone. Im new to this site and i would like to ask a couple of questions about my new HTC One X.
1) Is there anyway i can sync my phone to a Apple Macbook Pro? Using the iTunes and general sync?
2) There is 5 metal dots in a line on the back of the phone what is this for? Docking station?
Help with this would be magic!
I look forward to your replies!
the metal dots are indeed for a docking station. Can't help you with the Macbook thing though since I'm a Windows user.

Best app for sync music and video in itune is AirSync. But since you have Android phone, might as well setup Google music. You can upload up to 20,000 songs at 320 kbps aac quality. Might take up to a week, but it is worth it as you can access it anywhere with internet connection.
P.S. Google Music is currently only works in the US, but google it and you will find detailed instructions on how to get it working in the UK.

So as we've all figured out by now the Evo runs flash in the main browser (as well as Dolphin, sexy!) but Netflix denies the browser as compatible...
Workarounds?
I know the app is coming "sometime", but this is something I'm willing to end lives to have.
Thanks!
It is probably denying it because it lists it as a mobile browser. You would have to trick it into thinking it is like Firefox.
I know Netflix only allows a set list of browsers, but I'm not sure how to make my broswers report that they're different...I can't even get "about:debug" to come up!
Let me see if there is any type of app available to spoof the browser information. I know there is on the iPhone, but not sure on the Android.

I think netflix is all silverlight now. I could be wrong though
It is silverlight so it won't work. I got it to think I was a desktop browser, but can't run silverlight.

Only if step two involves price gouging for more money.
Work Around #1 part 2: Tether the iPhone 4 to a Sprint Evo so you have a solid connection

Thanks! Can you please post the steps to making it work on a phone that isn't out yet, with an app that isn't out yet, on a limited data connection (assuming 2GB is even worth 30 a month, and while I'm traveling so Wi-Fi isn't an option), with enough speed that watching it isn't a terrible experience, with a big enough screen to actually see what I'm watching, and then make a phone call that stays connected for the length of the full conversation?
I'll give you a moment to think it all through, thanks
At the speed Netflix is getting me happy it might be WinPho 7 time...
I hate my self for saying that!
Work around #3
Copy the movie to your hard drive (or leave it in a shared DVD drive)
Install Orb (free) on your PC and configure it to that directory.
Install Orblive (9.99) from the Market.
Watch your movie.
Tip 1: Test the free version of Orblive to make sure it works OK.
Tip 2: If you get too much buffering on your phone, play around with the stream settings in your Orb account.
With ORB you can:
Watch any video (avi/mpeg/DVD)
Listen to your music library.
Monitor home cams.
Watch live cable TV (with a compatible tuner)
I posted this for those that may not have heard of ORB, however, I concede that most of you have.
Hope this helps.

why get orblive for 10 bucks, when you can just navigate to mycast.orb.com and log in with your orb info, and it costs nothing?

For the same reason I used to drink Michelobe instead of Busch, or drive a BMW instead of a Chevy. Some people simply want the best that's available. I bought the EVO not because I needed a new phone, but rather because I wanted it. So what's another 10 bucks to enable it to watch live TV on it? Yes, you can log into your Mycast account, but that method is not nearly as convenient as the app. The purpose of my post was to try and help this person. Some people try to help instead of hinder, which again, is another characteristic of quality.

Or write an ffmpeg script yourself... The interface is terrible in orb anyway. I was able to do transcoding with ffmpeg and it worked well enough over 3g to be awesome. And you can even stream stuff over http which is cool because you don't even need an app on your phone.

Hi all,
Quick one.... is it possible to get medium wave on the Desire? I ask because I'd like to get Radio 5 Live in the UK.
Thanks!

No, only FM reception is possible.
i'm using an app called radiotime on the desire to stream 5 live. works very well (though obviously uses network data).... ended up with that as the default app wouldn't play the stream in the background.
myPlayer streams Radio 1-7 & Asian Network brilliantly
Great thanks all, will take a look
Hello this is just an idea and I hope someone could comeup with something to do this. Now I know that you can install other 3rd Party apps but I like the idea of the three finger swipe and your video popping up on your DLNA capable smart tv or computer client, but after some googling around I couldn't find anything.
So I was hoping I could give someone the idea to create something like this that would trick the phone into sending data to another device than the MediaLink from HTC. Although if I haven't searched around enough and have missed something please could someone point me into the right direction.
Thank you very much

i dont think it "sends" it merely streams them

Yeah, thats what I meant!
The One X does support DLNA and the music, photo and video apps have a play on function so you can stream to any DLNA device. This principle works fine for my WDTV. Just no gesture which isn't a big deal really.

Hi all,
I make video reviews, tutorials and app review for the Nexus 7 and I thought you might appreciate my app-snack reviews on the best Nexus 7 apps to get. Each review is between 1-2 minutes so they're a good snapshot of what the app is all about and why is a good Nexus 7 app.
I'll be updating this thread on a regular basis so enjoy and thanks for watching
Another app review today on a keyboard that can split depending on whether it's in portrait or landscape
The Amazon App Store has gone global so I thought it deserved a review:
Thankyou
Hi
Many thanks for your tutorial on the Nexus 7. I have now placed my request with the wife for one of these for xmas.
Could I ask, I have a Kindle which uses the PDF format, can I transfer my library to the Nexus 7.
I have some downloaded films in AVI format. Is it possible to transfer these and view on the Nexus 7. When on holiday I transfer films to a usb memory stick and view. Does the Nexus have a facility for a memory stick or a slot for any other memory card.
Again many thanks for your video's and roll on xmas.
Regards

You can download a Kindle app for the Nexus 7 so I guess they should work within the app.
You can transfer files onto your nexus 7 from a computer by plugging it into the USB port. To transfer films from a USB stick to a computer you will need something called Nexus Media importer from googleplay.

I've been wanting to review this for a while. Only just got around to it. Nexus Media Importer:
There are now a couple of options when it comes to watching the BBC iPlayer on Jellybean (Nexus 7). See the options and take your pick:
Here are the best widgets for your android device when using facebook and twitter:
You might think that Ultimate Rotation Control would be obsolete now that Jellybean 4.1.2 has fixed the rotation screens. Well you'd be wrong because if you like things the way they were you'll need this app:

Hi, I wasn't too sure of where to post this, since it's not a device-specific question, but I hope you guys can help me out.
I need to setup a wireless security system that uses a CCD camera, but instead of having to buy a display monitor, I'm wondering if I can use an AV to HDMI/USB adapter to stream the video feed on my Nexus 7 with some sort of 3rd party video player app.
Anybody know if this can be done?

The device can't be used as a display like that, but there are several IP camera apps on the market if you want to go that route. Good luck!
