SlingPlayer on HD

Now this is a new issue...Once started, on portrait mode, the slingplayer screen takes half the screnn of the HD.Also it is impossible to change channels as the buttons seem pressed there.
On Landscape mode the screen is filled up almost to the 90% capacity of the HD , thus making it very very comfortable to watch.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix the portrait mode???
Thanks

slingplayer impossible to use (touchscreen version)
has anyone managed to get slingplayer mobile working well on Touch HD? The buttons are impossible to use for the remote very small and not mapped correctly, also the full screen is not the whole screen only part of it.. anyone got any tips? I searched but noone seems to have solved this?

Hope it's sorted soon, asked the wife for a Slingbox for xmas :/

its just about usable although slow to use the menus for remote control functions but the streaming and PQ are excellent so its worth having!

I have it working.
I cannot however hand out the version I am using.
So, please wait. a version that does work perfectly with HD is on its way. I can also state SlingMobile version coming out soon works perfectly on Omnia and on the X1.
Sorry I can't hand this out, and please do not ask, as refusal may offend.

Ah... wonderful news indeed as this is one of my favorite apps.

awesome, figured out I can get the current version usable with Sky plus by using the favourites buttons to set the most common remote control functions but it would be good to have a version that works with WVGA properly!! Any idea on timelines for the newer version?

Any News?

HID Bluetooth Mouse

Hey Folks,
I'm using the Desire HD with the Cyanogen Mod 7 (latest Version from 2 Days ago).
Now I connected via Menu (Wireless & Networks --> Bluetooth) a simple "noname" Bluetooth Mouse and the pairing did happen. I used "0000" as Pairing-Code and the Desire gives me the Message "Connected with HID-Device" (or something like that, I use the german language).
Now I should see a Mousearrow or something should happen if I scroll or press a Button.
But nothing happens.
The Mouse itselft works properly - I tried it in Windows7 and Suse-Linux.
I also tried the App BlueInput (latest and some previous versions) but there its the same. I get connected properly but it wont work.
Now I'm hopefully waiting for your ideas (and I hope there are some)
Thanks in advance!

Ok, correct me if I'm wrong, you want to use a mouse to control your handset? Where the handset is directly in front of you?
I dont know if Android supports this. If you wish to remotely control your handset try WebKey from the market.

Well, there is also a possibility to make use of a WiiMote...
I see this more as a proof of concept.
What about the Motorola Atrix within its "to-Netbook-conversation-Docking"?
Internal Keyboard + BT Mouse = playable Quake3 on Android

Err bubble to bursting station, you can use a wiimote on a DHD quite easily. You can even do it with Apps available from the market place, hey you can even use the classic controller and nunchuck with it.
I have used it (not entirely successfully) to play N64 games on an emulator

At first : Thanks for your responses!

Yes, I want to control my Desire HD with a mouse when I stand next to it. If I wouldn't, I wouldn't have asked for it
The thing is that I need a Mousewheel - or at least something that can emulate one.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the WiiControl doesn't have such a feature.
What I found out is, that the Cyanogen 7 doesn't support Mouseweel-Actions.
I installed the latest 6.1 - et voilla - I get a Cursor and the Mousewheel works.
But unfortunately it doesn't work if I use it in a Flashmovie with the WebKit-Browser.
It seems that the Events are not tunneled into the Flashapp.
Someone got an idea for a workaround?
Ps: I like the idea of playing Quake3 on my Desire - but I prefer Quake1

Is there a way of using the mousewheel in a self-written application!?
That could also solve my problem
I mean, in the Cyanomod I can scroll around through lists an so on. There must be a way! (hopefully)

[Q] Samsung TV Remote not connecting

Hi guys,
coming from windows mobile I´m pretty much a noob in bada, so I have still questions about the standard behavior of the phone. first of all, is there automatic backlight adjustment?
I´m having further problems with the samsung tv remote app. i downloaded it on the appstore. It says that it is working with the wave II s8530 and my tv (samsung le37b650). sending videos and pics through allshare works fine (tv found), but tv remote app won´t find my tv. help is much appreciated
cheers ede
ps.: funny thing is ... using the htc-diamond for about 3 years the wave II is weak at all the points the diamond is good (outlook-sync, navigation, gps) and extreamly strong on all the negative aspects of the htc-diamond (battery, photos, mp3 & video playback). appstore, and widgets are pretty poor but i hope there is a possibility to create own widgets (or maybe i find a non-childish-looking-calender app somewhere) ... hopefully someone can give me a hint on how to delete all the vodafone apps on my phone or on how to flash the latest fw with social hub premium working

is you phone branded???
if not there is alot of modified fws floating around on our thread choose what fits you and flash it

thank you for your quick reply
yes it has a vodafone branding ...
this seems to be the only fw with social hub premium working http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=920 but it is for the Wave 8500 not for my model.
any suggestions on what fits me - or help where i can find info to make up my mind?

oh sorry for late reply
i can't help you
you must (Debrand)unlock the phone first because if you flashed the phone now it will brick
if you did that come to this thread again and i will help you right away
i am not sure if you can flash a branded phone or not but no one tried as it is dangerous

mhh ok i´ll see what i can do. thank you.
ps: it has a vodafone branding but no simlock or netlock
SW ver S8530BUJK4
CSC ver S8530VFGJK5

ok i got the JKA firmware, no-branding anymore and shp ... samsung tv remote is still not finding my tv ?

good for you man
i don't use that app as i don't have a wifi tv wait for anyone else to help you out

Could someone post the last apk for Samsung Remote app 2.1.3? I dont seem to be able to get it from Market...

[Q] Virtual keyboard missing in XBMC

Hi Guys,
I have just installed XBMC (Kodi Alpha5) in my Fire TV. Everything is fine except the keyboard. The Virtual keyboard appears, I can see shift key, Done, Arrows but cannot see any letters. all letters are missing from the keyboard.
Anybody can help me on this?
Thanks in Advance
Raiees

I believe there's a keyboard setting in your xbmc settings. I can't remember what the exact selection says, but I remember the phrase "onscreen keyboard". Maybe you can snoop around in the settings and see if you find it. I just use the Yatse XBMC/Kodi app, so I don't need the virtual keyboard. I also have a Hausbell usb keyboard connected just in case i'm not home and someone else needs to use xbmc.

kodi has a different keyboard setup... most skins arent supported yet and u get a blank one or none at all. im using amber right now since it is working good.. kinda starting to like it too. goto xbmc.org and do some reading on the forums.. easy to figure out what skins work and what ones dont. i might have downloaded it from the amber skin thread over there.. cant remember since it was a bit ago.

Thanks Guys for your help.
But I was not able to find any solution. I uninstall Kodi 14 and install XBMC 13 and I have no problem with keyboard.

[Q] Virtual keyboard without signs

Hallo
an app in Kodi installed another virtual keyboard over the original fire tv one.
This layout has no signs and i see no way to change it to the original one. :crying:
I changed the layout from german to english but it has the same result.
Is there a way to get the original layout at my box?

The keyboard has changed to qwerty in Kodi, switch back to the default skin named Confluence.
And encourage the skin maker of the skin you are using to update it for Kodi.
Anyways not FireTV related at all.

Now it works like new.

Was it the overall aFTV keyboard that went blank.
The one you use in FireOS and not Kodi? Or both? And are you rooted?
The reason I'm asking is that a addon or skin change in Kodi can not break anything else but the keyboard in Kodi because these are 2 different keyboards one buildin to Kodi the other is a Android service. Maybe by accident some app disabled the Android keyboard service but that should still leave you with a keyboard in Kodi if you use a compatible skin. The reason I am asking is because I thought what happened was the other way around ie. no Kodi keyboard only. That and I'm curios because it sounds odd and I like troubleshooting.
Anyway glad you got it working, although you had to factory reset.
