[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ironcobra:
Long time samsung customer 3 months into my first curved glass phone and Ive never regretted purchasing something so much until now. This phone for lack of a better word is pathetic more like kitten glass 4. I have dropped this phone 3 times, twice sitting on the ground and once standing from pocket level, and 3 times shattered. The credit cards have scratched the hell out of it in my flip case too even before the latest drop. As a long time att member i was able to convince them to replace it twice for no charge, but now with the latest phone broken they would rather me walk this time. Before i make a decision to walk as im not going to pay for a phone over and over that is not made to be exposed to anything the world throws at you is there a better option for me other than the 200 deductible on my insurance. Im pretty good at fixing things, but not sure if anyone is selling replacement glass at an honest price yet. Can someone point me in the right direction as far as diy repairs or is anyone fixing phones at an decent price. all help is welcomed thanks. God anyone reading this considering a edge please do yourself a favor and get the regular.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] BottleB:
Not sure how hard it is to fix though

Oooh boy, this post made me unusually nervous and salty.

Did you use official flip case from Samsung? No? Okay then, let's blame the phone for using 3rd party accessories!

Three freaking months and you dropped your phone 3 (three) times? How clumsy and careless are you? Oh pardon me, I already forgot. It doesn't matter that ironcobra dropps curved-glass made phone on floor expecting Nokia 3310 like scenario, it clearly is phones' fault!

Correction - Gorilla didn't make the phone, Samsung did. If I got that correctly phone itself works so there's nothing wrong with it, it's the glass that breaks. Now, no one guarantees your phone will survive drops whatsoever. Gorilla Glass is NOT shatterproof. Official site.

Tech specs (pdf)

There is lower probability screen will shatter but that doesn't mean it won't break. Oh, I already forgot, let's blame the phone for not delivering what wasn't promised.

They should have made you walk for the first time. You broke it, your fault, warranty is void, deal with it. But let's abuse ATTs customer retention program for other purposes and blame both phone AND AT&T too, right?

...how dare they?! I mean, you broke your phone THREE TIMES, everytime it was YOUR fault, and they replaced it TWICE DESPITE VOIDING WARRANTY and they dared to make you walk? What a horrible service, I can't even

Then. Don't. Drop. It.

Even better - don't be stupid and take care about your expensive flagship phone. Voila, screen will automagically stop breaking! Blame the (ab)user for user-related faults. There, FTFY.

TL;DR It's your fault, deal with consequences of your clumsiness and carelessness and pay for your mistakes. Don't whine because you don't care about your phone like you should and pay up.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] hellbringer626:
A little anecdotal but I've dropped my phone a few times on wood floor and despite my panic the phone was unfazed. I'd say it's more than capable of withstanding normal use.

PLEASE READ THIS!!

Hi.. just to announce, that I'm making serious efforts to make the iPhone-like musicplaying capability on a Windows Mobile device, I show you now what I have been cooking for a while now..

This is only a proof of concept thing. It won't play any music now. It just shows the possibilities.

I was quite busy in the summer-time, so I had no or little time to develop, but it's going to change.

Anyway, a few things you should know:

- only 240*320 portrait mode (for now)

- .Net Compact Framework is required.

- it's filled with some random data.

- there is a syncing software on the desktop-side, which transfers a playlist from iTunes (not included in this release)

- without cleartype enabled, it's ugly.

- again, it won't play music now!

PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU SOFTRESET YOUR DEVICE AFTER INSTALLING.

FAQ

-----------------------

Q: Will it have a coverflow-ish cool feature?

A: Yes, there will be.

Q: Will it support landscape mode only screens?

A: Well, landscape mode will be used for the coverflow-ish view. I'm still considerind this.

Q: Will it support smartphones?

A: I hope so.

Q: Will it sync automatically with my computer?

A: Of course it will!

Q: Yeah, but how?

A: You have to select an iTunes playlist then decide whether use the activeSync connection (more convienient but slower) or select a drive, and let the Bridge program on your computer do the rest (less convienient, faster)

Q: Wait, you have to have iTunes to use with this thing?

A: Currently, yes. iTunes offers a great API to work with, so it's very efficient to use. Also, in iTunes, most people has georgeous album art in tracks, and in Lumen, album artwork uses a lot of screen real estate, making it look insanely great. In the future, I'll consider fetching MP3 ID3 data, and so.

other players when you got it Finished. keep it up :cool:

yeah, it sounds great, I like it, pls keep it moving :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] henftling:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] EazyVG:
Things I'd like to see with this application (in comparsion with Audio Manager):

1. Integrate with HTC Home music tab - so that it can be controlled via that tab.

2. Possible to turn-off phone/screen while the music keeps on playing (to conserve battery)

3. Lists/plays tracks according to track numbers, not alphabetically (Audio Manager has this problem)

4. Library option - by albums, artisits, genre , etc.

5. .ogg support.

Possible?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stephano:
1. I don't know "HTC Home music tab" and I don't know how to communicate with it, but I'll take a look.

2. It's already implemented in a previous unpublished version.

3. If you go to an artist, and select an album, it'll show it by track numbers if it's given. Any "view" that contains songs from a single album uses this mode.

4. I think it's already in.

5. Well.. i'm using Windows Media Player component, so it plays it if your device already supports it. (I'm looking for a better audio playing solution) So in theory, it can work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tom_codon:
stephano nice works...!

Hope nice programs in the future from u..!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wonder12:
Just tried it out. Nice and cool.

Looking forward to your release. Good job bro!

:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Merlin_reloaded:
wow

the second iPhone Media player in two days? I'm really impressed.

Will test soon

EDIT: Great concept, but try to speed it up. Oh, and mine does not play any music. Please fix it :)

mindless ramblings aside, this looks neat. You made it on to my 'watch-for-further-developments' list.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] spicchio72:
What to say.... WOW! :-)

Scrolling smoothness is really impressive I must say. Some other developers playing around with iPhone like applications should implement your scrolling routine as it is almost perfect.

I had many problems with selections at beginning, until I realized that, differently from other apps, I had to double-tap :-P, so ppl please DOUBLE TAP'em :-D

You could join efforts with the other guy messing with an iPhone like mediaplayer (His already playing trough WMP features), but I think those 2 are developed in different ways.

Hope anyway to hear news from you soon :-)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thundershadow14:
I'd love to see what this app looks like, but I Can't since I don't have a WM5 or 6 device. My player and this, are coded in two very different ways, so it would be hard to sort of combine the two, or use his scrolling routine, although from the sounds of it...I'd LOVE TO! I'll be keeping my eyes here though...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] spicchio72:
In truth I would like to see other developers using YOUR scrolling routine. I truly love it!

Have a nice evening.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stephano:
WOW! :D Thanks!! Really!

Anyway, you don't have to double-tap.. It goes into things with one tap, but I'm working on to make the app realize it much faster. Since it has to mess with databases, then draw the list, it isn't as easy, as you may think.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stephano:
Would you mind reading the first post? Pretty please :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ksjulsen:
Hey great app, this is the kinda thing i've been looking for, anyways once you get everything working properly, i have a suggestion for a cool feature, maybe once ur in the player u could have a coverflow type thing where u can flick thru album covers to select songs, srry if i'm asking for too much too soon but i can't contain myself when something this cool comes up.:p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stephano:
Cool down buddy :) Your wish will come true. I have a proof-of-concept app built, and it performs quite well. Keep watching this space.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thundershadow14:
You mean like what I've implemented so far?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bluemetalaxe:
close this ! Please ! the next player that will never come or work.

Its so funny: AC can`t continue development, lumen can`t play music and pocketmelody freezes the ppc. And we are still her with this ****ing mediaplayer from windows.:(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ioncila:
Well, thank god we have, still, mortplayer, which is a great app.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Splitter:
..and TCPMP... great program.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jackuuuuu:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dc_striker:
he should of have finish this program at least
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bpack428:
Just let him take his time...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mort:
Yeah, and for having the current version in beta/RC state for about two years, I know...

The beta's even more stable that the last release on most devices, but MS and hardware vendors are doing a good job at keeping me busy...

Currently I'm working at 320x320 support (e.g. Samsung i780 - whoever at MS got the idea to use 128DPI instead of 96 like with 320x240 screens should be forced to create new icons for all available WM applications...), migration to newer image DLL (like used in MortButtons) to support PNG alpha channels, and some minor bugfixes/features. Then I hope to have a state that finally can be released...

(Besides, regarding audio players generally, you can't imagine how complicated some things are... MP3 isn't MP3 at all - e.g., there are at least 4 ID3 standards to regard, and many taggers give a sh*t about standards - for example, a cover image should be PNG or JPG and marked with a "cover (front)" id. But often, they're marked as "other image" and maybe even GIF or BMP... And that's not even scratching the audio data itself...)

iTunes hater!!

I hate iTunes! never owned an apple device/s that's why i hate it so much. but i don't know why i keep drooling over the cool interface and their one of a kind mp3 players. So now to my question, will it sync with windows media player 11?????
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Edu115:
Can you hear the echo?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ov2rey:
why i get unsuccessful installation?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ksjulsen:
yup but i can't use yours as i have flash 2.1, but hopefully you'll figure out a solution, both the programs are great but they each have their own keypoints hopefully they'll both be fully rounded programs.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kazam401:
Nice :-)

Great coding Stephano, looking forward to fully working release.

Keep up the great work
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SultanH:
Beautifull

1)Are you going for a iPhone album selection look alike too? With the album picture browsing? *That would be great"

2)I second the HTC incorporation.

3)Would you be able to put an alphabet scroller on the left& right similar similar to PocketCM (http://www.pocketcm.com/) or the iPhone contact selector? That would be nice too.

4)Could you put the back button somewhere more accessible?

Very nice job. I can't wait for you to release this.

first of all: it looks awesom, cant wait for the full release

i think this is one of the many examples why im so happy with the new iphone, it has brought to us(wm owners) a lot of new stuff with inspiration from the iphone, and i think that is great, although i dont think apple would be so excited about that, but i dont give a ***

great app by the way!

just put music in and was my first music player, one must have for me.

use windows media player controls...and ..thats it.

2 step after this one, pu video in, and you are the man.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Avatar28:
Another suggestion, lose the iTunes dependency. For one, it still has issues with Vista I believe. For another, well, I already have Media Player Classic and Winamp and Windows Media Player 11 on my system. I think I'm not the only one who would prefer not to be tied to iTunes anyways. Nor would an iTunes dependcey allow it to work in Linux. Perhaps it would be better to hook it into the built in Media Player's playlists so that it could be done on the PPC or through any number of applications on the desktop.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Merlin_reloaded:
I second that proposal. For the sake of portability, i.e: *ix/Mac/Windows/Vista* please use standard playlist syncing - not through an app, but rather .m3u or similar.

* = my anti-Vista feelings come into play....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] psvillars:
i agree but i would take it a step further and maybe add the ability to scan for music files and import them to a custom playlist or specify a folder to look for because i for one dont sync with media player i just copy them over to a folder on my storage card. I too cant wait for a working version as this is will definitely add ease of use to my phone(apache) :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] henftling:
yeah...iTunes sync is no must-have.

You could still sync with iTunes, WM5torage and iTunes Agent anyway (also with Vista)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stephano:
Depending on iTunes is because Apple offers a great API to access the music library, export album artwork, and so. My player relies heavy on album artwork.

Of course I think I could build the Bridge using the Mono framework on the linux side, but it is not that simple. In the next build of Lumen/Bridge I will use a new technique to minimalize CPU consuption on the Pocket PC. However the greater list of songs you have, the greater amount of memory I have to use on the Pocket PC side, which can stop (with the current techologies) it using on VGA devices, because it would double the memory consuption.

Another thing that I heavily use is the ActiveSync connection. I don't know what should I use instead of it on the Linux/Mac side. It (ActiveSync) enables me to locate the application on the Pocket PC, so you don't have to know where it is. Of course, syncing gigabytes through ActiveSync can be a disaster in terms of performance. This can be, however, easily changed, in some ways.

The technologies eventually will make progress. I don't want to close out anybody from using the player.

I want you to understand: I want to finish the app. It is really hard to make it work with other PC-side players flawlessly. After finishing the app with iTunes compatibility, I would be more than happy to make it work with other players, including some linux ones.

Namaste.

artwork in the id3 tags

Are you not using the Artwork in the iD3 tag?

The best program i Have seen for editing those is

http://www.helium-music-manager.com

if you could make it so it reads the artwork from the tags then we could just put the songs on the memory card without using activesync and it will be truly independent of anything.
