HTC HUB updated (again) December

HTC HUB updated(mango). Its seems htc just released a newer version its more panoramic now. Besides that change it has stocks and is a bit laggy but all in all its great. Now you can Pin stocks, get a 4day forecast, pin weather for separate locates, added news like cnn, htc etc.
Also forgot to mention completely new ui and animations have changed. Already miss the rain windshield wiper.

No problem now im waiting on a HTC YouTube update because that app needs an overhaul.

Will pinned stock tiles update; i.e., are they live tiles?

Doesn't update for me. Shows install instead of update.
Tried lke 20 times. Won't go past 50% downloaded. EDIT: Yea, no way I'm gonna get this to update. Keeps erroring out at 40% downloaded. Oh well.
I want it for the RSS Reader, but really updating HTC apps on this phone has been a completely fail ever since the Mango update went out. Samsung has done a good job with theirs, though. Something to think about for the future

And now my old HTC Hub is nothing more than a download screen. What the hell?!

Found issue. Unpin HTC hub before updating...

My download gets stuck at 50% and then gives me an error. Doesn't finish. Sad. I don't care for HTC Hub, but I like to see what new stuff it has every update.
Goes for the Dock application too. Almost finishes installing and then fails.

This new hub sucks. The tile is no longer live. It only updates when you open it.

Its working for me. I like that you can pin individual weather locations to the start screen in a single tile rather than a double wide one. I wish it flipped though so I'll be keeping accuweather for a while.
I use FUSE as my newsreader so I dont care for the rss part of the hub.

After how long does it update? I've had mine installed for ~ 4 hours now and it still reports the same temp as this morning..

Actually IMHO this new HUB is great, I like the way STOCKS and RSS READER are implemented in it. Just a side swipe and there they are!! GREAT

live tile works here as well. Worked after about 30minutes. But as somebody else said, it could show much more info with a flipping tile. hopefully they will change that.

I had no trouble updating the hub or any other HTC apps, I still have the older sound enhancer tho. really shouldn't be talking about what Samsung does in an HTC thread especially considering that Samsung is below the industry standard in CS.

It was always like that. The shortest update interval for the tile is 1 hour, IIRC, maybe 30 minutes minimum. It always updated like that. Nothing has changed there. It just looks different (better, IMO). The Actual Hub is much better than it was before.
And for people getting stuck at 50%, UNPIN THE TILE from your start screen. I put it in there, and I don't think anyone bothered to try that

Why are you being butthurt. Samsung's Apps update flawlessly - I know someone with a Focus. See her 3-5x a week at the rink. She didn't have any of these issues... Comparison is how you arrive at good or bad. Without a comparison base, you can't rate anything. Samsung is TERRIBLE for CS. Everyone knows this. Every Galaxy S owner knows this * 666.
HTC's Apps are a mess on Mango with the way they're constantly supported, unsupported, there, not there, crashing media player, pulled, stuck at 50% * 20+ attempts, etc. It's messy. That is all.
I DON'T have Sound Enhancer. The sound on my phone is terrible with out it.
That's okay, though. I just bought me a new iPod Touch so I won't have to deal with that, anymore.

For everybody who can't download update this is the link for taping from device web browser: http://windowsphone.com/s?appid=1a0ee8c2-48b1-df11-8a2f-00237de2db9e

did u read all of my last post? I said that I've had no issues updating the apps at all and my sound enhancer still works. and I even have the connected media app working now, sucks that u are now on the iTrain even tho Zune is so much better. and CS is customer satisfaction,not service.

Sorry, but Zune is not better than an iPod, especially not what's in WP7. They ripped out Zune Social. Sound Quality isn't anything near what it is with a Zune HD (which is so poorly supported IRT apps that it isn't even a consideration at this point). The iTouch also gives me a bit of utility that I don't have with the smartphones I own (like a FFC) in addition to access to a lot of really good apps - some of which do not exist on other platforms (and some of which are twice as expensive on other platforms vs. iOS).
I got it primaritly as a media player, that way when I kill my second smartphone line/SIM it won't matter which phone I throw away.
My point had nothing to do with what you had. I can factory reset my phone and get Sound Enhancer back as well, but I had to remove the one that's loaded to update it, because it showed up in the market as a separate app instead of an update, similar to Attentive Phone and Slacker/Slacker Radio. It's disappeared since then. That one app made the phone bearable as a PMP. It's not bearable without it.
And Apple has very high Customer Satisfaction, so if that's how you base your opinions I wonder why you're trolling me with terms like iTrain...?
/shrugs/ I even got WLM w/ Messenger Social and OneNote Mobile for free on iOS.

HTC: One X multitasking is 'operating normally,' but tweaked for Sense

From Verge.. http://www.theverge.com/2012/5/16/3024854/htc-one-x-multitasking-operating-sense
Over the past couple of weeks, there's been a steadily increasing drama surrounding how multitasking works on the HTC One X. HTC introduced two tweaks to how multitasking works on Android 4.0 with Sense 4.0. The first and most obvious is that rather than the vertical list of tiles, it presents a horizontally-scrolling list of app screens. That visual change is one thing but apparently there has been a behavioral change as well: users in our forums and on xda-developers have complained that it is over-aggressive in closing background apps, resulting in a sub-par experience. The change presumably contributes to the stellar battery life we've seen on the One X, but it has been frustrating for power users.
We reached out to HTC to see what its side of the story is and the company tells us that it is "operating normally," but the normal here is different from stock Android: HTC has definitely altered the multitasking behavior to make room for Sense 4.0.
HTC is aware of some questions in the enthusiast community about how the HTC One X handles multitasking and memory management for background apps. We value the community's input and are always looking for ways to enhance customers' experience with our devices. That said, right now multitasking is operating normally according to our custom memory management specifications which balance core ICS features with a consistent HTC Sense experience.

Power users with the HTC One X looking for a better (or, shall we say, different) multitasking experience could hold out hope that HTC's promise that it is "always looking for ways to enhance customers' experience" is a hint that it could alter the multitasking behavior on the One X — or check out some of the custom ROMs and tweaks that are already emerging despite the bootloader issue. For the rest of us, just know that for the time being HTC is filing this one as a feature, not a bug.

There's a 1.29.11 thread that lists improved multi-tasking in the changelog. Haven't been able to test this myself.

It is a right pain in the arse.
Particularly when listening to podcasts while browsing or something, the podcast app keeps getting closed to free up memory.

Yeh I think it explains your issue. They basically removed multitasking from the phone. The phone works almost like iphone did some years ago where music and some other stuff were the only things that wouldn't get killed off by the system.
Nothing changed for me in the newest update either.

Can you try with Pulse and the browser? Because they don't work together. All my games get shut off as soon as I open a new app like message or phone.

Hey guys, not sure if anybody is aware of this or not but they have given you the option in developer settings to change just how many apps stay open at a time and memory usage. I do believe it comes under apps and background usage limit, which should let you set it from what HTC has set as standard limit and up??

probably yes but I have seen flash break many times even after minor android point releases, so by 4.1.2 it could be even, reduced to iPhone level

Its not the worst thing ever. I never have had a need for flash on my iPhone (obviously) or my android devices.

It's very old news, there's no flash in Chrome for android. This is actually very good news imo. Web developers, myself included, spent years creating crazy hacks to make things work in ie6. About 4 years ago a small group realized that as long as that happened there was no incentive for ie6 users to upgrade. Slowly it became more common to display a warning to ie6 users only using...
<!--[if lte ie6]-->
This has resulted in a huge reduction in use of ie6.
Flash is as dead as ie6 but as long as browsers keep supporting it people will keep using it. Advancement in web development technology has always been hampered by the idea that we must keep supporting old technologies.
Adobe are leading the way in html5 authoring tools and feel the alternative already exists, I agree.
HTML5 is absolutely ready for primetime. The W3C's definition that it isn't has to be seen in context, it's not fully defined so officially it is not ready, real world usage is effective though as most elements are defined and it adequately replaces flash and xhtml. So far, all browsers with no flash support are pretty good with HTML5 so its simple enough to code fall backs both ways so some see flash and some see html5 depending on capability. I recently created a video gallery for a client that does this, as a result the video player falls forward (as it were) to HTML5 when the browser is capable, thus videos can be viewed on iDevices and Android.

Not true, as a programming language html5 is way more efficient than flash (or actionscript). But just because it is a good language doesn't mean you can't write bad code in it.
Also, I for one have not had any issues with the implementation at YouTube.

Another "Best Browser" thread

Looking for a browser that displays "all" web pages properly, plays flash and html5 like it should. A test page in particular: http://realtour.biz/modules/stats/listing/?P=113963
This is a random reality listing that I can't get to display in Boat, Xscope or Chrome on my N7, but looks fine on a PC in any browser.

Once I get home, I'll try out the website in "Dolphin Browser". It normally seems to work great for Flash sites.
If you can't wait til I get home, then just try downloading it and give your feedback.
It's the best browser IMO.

Works & runs fine (with Flash) in Naked Browser . I've never seen a browser work like the stock ICS browser + no UI. It's just fast - plain & simple. No syncing of bookmarks tho so if that's a deal breaker, that one isn't for you. I use it across all my higher end devices & never have an issue. It's stable on my N7 & Galaxy Nexus. It supports flash just fine, too.

I just tried Naked. Looks sweet, but crashes on that page. The page opens with 3 down arrows (for flash), click flash and blank colors show up, then browser crashes. Should get a bunch of stats in the 3 boxes. Got a particular setting that works?

Strange. You have the latest flash apk from Adobe's website, right?
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/android/11.1.115.34/install_flash_player_ics.apk
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html

I have Flash Player 11.1.for Android 4.0 (11.1.115.34). It also crashes as soon as I click any flash start arrow. Just tried one on Amazon, and got the "isn't responding do you want to exit" message.
edit: For the heck of it I installed the apk in your 1st link, it is also .34. Naked also crashed, but I tried it in Boat again and it opened fine... but then crashed after a few seconds. The flash on Amazon site (and most other sites) run fine in Boat.

Shi t. Ya you're right. You know what...I stupidly tried it (in Naked Browse) on my Galaxy nexus - not Nexus 7. Doh.
Ya it crashes for me too. However, it does work fine in Firefox Beta for my Nexus 7

I was hoping it didn't work in FF... I was using it, but is slower than Boat (or Naked), and I uninstalled it the other day. I think I'll stick with Boat (although will keep playing with Naked).

Has anyone from the Google Android team ever addressed why Chrome functions so poorly compared to the other Android browsers? You'd think Google could get their own browser in their own OS performing at least on par with other browsers.

I actually think Chrome functions well other than the fact it doesn't support Flash, and tends to "block pixelate" when scrolling sometimes. If it had Flash, it's all I'd have on my N7.

The site doesn't crash my devices. I should have access to a Nexus 7 after Christmas so I'll see if I can fix it in Naked Browser (I wrote that app).

I'm really liking Naked! It's fast. And speaking of browsers, I decided to uninstall Chrome updates and its file size went from 45mb to 3mb! (had no cache or history to start); but even after adding some bookmarks and history to Naked, it's only 750k.

Works like a charm with Aurora (Firefox alpha cycle).

I have zero use for flash so chrome is perfect for me. I'm not sure what the complaints are about. Its fast stable and ...well what else is there?

I use flash just fine all you have to do is sideload it and use a 3rd party browser and flash works just like it did on ICS and websites didn't suddenly decide to use flash most sites are actually migrating to html5 and have the option to choose the flash version or html5 version of the site. Be glad you don't have an iFail they've never had flash and you can't even sideload it to get it working:thumbdown:

And what I mean about the websites is the page doesnt load its as if my internet cuts out but then I goto a different site and it works perfectly fine.

Maybe when key lime pie releases it will fix apps2sd for our phone.

One annoyance that ics caused is the inability to play my notification AND music at the same time, without pausing my music and taking temporary focus.
I have to turn my notification sounds off because of this and it annoys me.

sounds more like a flash player issue than an Android one. You can side load Flash Player as at least one person has stated; one even offered to send APK.
The problem, flash player hasn't really been updated for ICS and beyond. It will work. In my experience, how well it works on sites is very dependent how that particular site encoded their flash content. I've had where video plays fine until I go full screen, the picture disappears but I have audio. And Adobe is no longer giving any support for the mobile flash player; maybe if there is some critical security issue to fix it.
What you can try to do is trying using different browsers that can use Flash Player such as Boat or Dolphin. I use Boat for flash sites. I only go to limited sites for those needs. I couldn't get Dolphin to open, but on the Evo 4G is was most flash friendly (gave the least problem in regards to flash player). There are a couple others browsers. Too bad Google didn't want do it for Chrome since I like how it works on the desktop version.
I'm not familiar with any of the aninme sites. There may be altermatives to use. You could trying use Plex and book marking the videos you want to see on the desktop. Then later you can load the Plex Android app to watch it; works well unless there are commercials and they use a different feed; it doesn't switch back to the main video. You could see if the sites lets you downlaod the video and play through a media such a Google Play, BS Player, Mobo Player and so on.
As for Gingerbread, you're going to need custom rom that someone will probably need to make from the ground up since no variant was released with it. Then there are the carrier specifics for drivers and radios. It's a lot of work that I don't think many users would be interested in using, which can have a major influence on developers taking the challenge. People want the upcoming Android, not stuff from two years ago.

Hmm Ok Thanks

I dont have this issue anymore. used to on stock but not on macks rom 4.0...now the music volume temporarily fades when the notification comes in but continues to play and resumes normally
Edit: I take this back. Also have the same issue still. Thought the issue was gone until I tried listening thru headphones...very annoying. Phone won't even ring through a headset?!

I like to watch alot of anime and when I updated the rom I found out I couldnt get into sites like Novamov, bc with them i can play the anime on mxplayer instead of using a web based player.

I've noticed an issue on stock TW (LK8) where flash sites cause it to fail loading and then crashes the browser. Restarting the browser get the page to load.
But keep in mind that's not the direction that the internet standard is going. Flash as a video tool is being phased out as HTML5 standards now support most of the content that Flash used to - without Adobe having to absorb costs of development and support for Flash Players across the spectrum. Some sites will take longer than others to make the transition... but there are always other sites out there.
And for general info - whether it's TV, Anime, etc. - I recommend downloading a (legal) copy over streaming whenever possible. Sure it takes a little longer to plan and get the files... but then you get a better quality viewing experience and no lag - no matter how many times you watch it!
