Maybe I'm old fashioned, but one of the things that's keeping me away from an iPhone is that it can't be operated by stylus. I'm still using the stylus way more than my fingers, even after I started using SPB Mobile Shell and software alike. The stylus enables you to navigate your device with much more precision.

Question:

On the iPhone, do you have to encode movies in order to watch them?

Thanks!
[Touch HD General] ryaninuk:
On the iPhone the stylus is simply not needed. for the person that asked about encoding you have to encode videos to watch them on the iPhone. It must be able to be used by iTunes to sync any video to the iPhone.
[Touch HD General] MAK11:
Yes they have to be re-encoded and I don't see anybody *****ing about it (unlike the countless "HD can't play my DVD rips bla bla" posts)

And last time I checked the iPhone can only play one codec (h.264) at a max resolution of 640x480... :rolleyes:

Same for the pictures. Pictures browsing is damn fast on the iPhone right ? Well all pics are resized to a lower-res trough iTunes when you sync them on the phone!

Dont go and copy/paste your 10Mpx pics on the HD and wonder why it takes time to build the thumbnails..
[Touch HD General] ryaninuk:
I love my iphone but if you convince yourself the battery will last you are in for a lot of frustration. It isn't something that can be fixed later.

I wrote a post about my impressions of the two phones on another website. It said it was too long to post here so I will simply provide a link. In my opinion on this subject if you don't own both phones then you can't make a comparison. If you do own both phones I am curious to hear your feedback.

[Touch HD General] eaglesteve:
Nice review. Thanks.

Good to have both wives, but I'd rather carry just one.

Looks like the key strengths of iphone are: built quality, user interface, and superior browser.

It has serious weakness when come to battery, navigation software,word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, and cut & paste.

As for Touch HD, the key strengths are: better phone signal, better battery, superior access to download anything from the web both to install and to play, plenty of navigation software, superior word processor, superior spreadsheet software, superior presentation software, able to make video calls, supports cut and paste.

It offers much wider software choice.

On the downside, it's built quality isn't as good, user interface could be improved, and browser isn't as smooth.

I've always been perfectly happy with the video playback in the past, despite all the *****ing I've heard about the lack of driver. Almost all my videos that I download from the net plays at more than 100% speed already anyway because they're youtube videos and mere 800mb videos and not hugh 4gb videos.

Ultimately, the battery, lack of office application, and lack of navigation software are insurmountable factors that makes Touch HD the only feasible solution for me. I'd be switching over to iphone 3 the moment it has proper battery design, office software, and navigation capability, unless wm7 change my mind.

Thank you everyone for your fantastic input.
[Touch HD General] ryaninuk:
To clarify a point I made in my review.. I never said there is more to download for the HD. Well there probably is but I am talking about desirable downloads now.

I was trying to say what you can download is not controlled. After looking around online for Winmo apps it seems even the most rudimentary programs you have to pay for. I need an add on like coreplayer for $29.95 just to get videos to play properly? I need to pay g-sen money to get my phone's screen to tilt? really?? Yes, i have heard of torrents but not willing to do that and for the 500 pounds I paid for the phone why should I have to?

The cost to buy an HD is high enough already, I am not going to spend a bunch more money on it to give it the most basic functionality.

Half of the sites I go to for applications are nonsense and spam or malicious etc. WOULD YOU LIKE NAKED GIRLS IN YOUR EMAIL EVERYDAy?!?!?! type of ads.

My underlying point was that I prefer how I get my apps to be open. I wasn't trying to convey that the apps for the HD were in anyway more available or of a higher quality.

Also in all honesty if it weren't for things on the iPhone such as battery and bluetooth, I would never, ever, ever choose an HD. If you buy one and don't like it then don't blame me. That's my disclaimer LOL.
[Touch HD General] eaglesteve:
I understand your point that we can have plenty of cab files to directly download to winmo device, and the winmo applications are open and not subject to Mr Job's control.l

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is it possible to download youtube videos to the iPhone? What about ripped music from my CD collection and my existing collection that's already on my PC? Can I directly transfer to the iPhone? What about downloading PDF files from websites?

It is interesting to note that different requirements leads to different reasons for rejecting a phone. In my case, I don't use bluetooth headset although I do lots of file trasnfer via bluetooth both to/from PC and to/from friends' handset. I suppose iPhone should not disappoint me in this regards. The battery life, lack of navigation and office software (which you do not seem to be bothered with, or at least you did not mention them) are some of my key requirements, and I've hoped against hope that the 3G version of iPhone had addressed these issues.

Despite that, I'm still impressed by iPhone. I tried it in the teleshop and liked the browser especially.
[Touch HD General] ryaninuk:
If you are using Bluetooth for file transfers than yes the iPhone would disappoint you. The only thing the BT stack on the iPhone can be used for is Bt headphones. I swear I am not making this up. You are correct that I don't use office software of any kind. I don't work and just don't have any need for it

As far as navigation goes I have seen many people rave about TT and other apps and they have it running when they are on their way to work or just use it because they can. I would imagine they know the route already? I have used the GPS on my iPhone to get directions before and while it isn't turn by turn it works just fine. If I am driving from New York to California I only really need the first and last pieces of the directions.

Without jailbreaking you can not download anything outside of the itunes app. You can play youtube and some streaming videos but you can not download them to the disk. You can get apps that allow you to use your Pc or Mac to put various files on your phone but you can not download directly from your phone.

i am not sure how you ripped your CD collection or what format the music is in but anything you can put into itunes you can put on your phone. When I put all of my CD collection I was using itunes on my Mac and it just prompted me to copy to my itunes library. At that point you just plug in the phone and it syncs.

If you jailbreak it opens quite a few more options for you but it also voids your warranty. People say that is no big deal as you can just restore your phone before bringing it in. That's a fair enough point but what if your issue is that your phone is frozen or for some reason can't be restored? At the very least keep the Apple default icon for your boot up screen. If you bring it into the shop and they start it up and see a pineaplle where an apple used to be that's it. Game over. Checkmate. They won't even look at it after that.
[Touch HD General] fallenczar:
1)tubedownloader

2)itunes 8.01 and up and iphone FW 2.1 and up have drag and drop.

dont like itunes, use winamp with a plugin.

3)yes., safari with downlod plugin
[Touch HD General] eaglesteve:
Fallenczar,

Thanks for reponding.

Is this tubedownloader something that a jailbroken iPhone could directly download into the phone, or is this a long winded process of downloading into PC first, then copying into iPhone?

Is this download plugin standard feature? Do you need to jailbreak? Not a big deal to jailbreak for me, but just like to know.

Do you know of anything that may not be as good as excel but allows worksheet-like feature that works on iPhone?
[Touch HD General] eaglesteve:
I was'nt aware that iPhone can't do file transfer and had always assume this is basic. However, having said that, I think I can still live with it. Come to the worse, I'd send and receive the file that I need to send as an email attachment with my friend.

TT is much much more than just knowing how to get from A to B. It is about helping you to keep to speed limit, warning you to remember you're approaching a speed trap and red light camera, etc. Sure, on familiar road you may already know where they are, but do you remember it without being reminded? Howe about during those dark rainy nights where you have problem seeing the upcoming bends and turns? A turn by turn navigation system helps you see what's coming up despite poor visibility outside. Also, what if you get into the wrong turn? If you have a fixed travel itineary, that would never tell you how to get back again easily, will it? That's why a navigation system is very important.

I have no problem jailbreaking. We all do the same with winmo, don't we? If it delivers so much more benefits, I'll take the risk of not having warranty honored and get charged for servicing.

BTW, you mentioned you own both HD and iPhone. So which one do you carry? Do you subscribe to two data plan?
[Touch HD General] fallenczar:
The Name Of the Prog is Mxtube (http://mxweas.com/blog/) and not tubedownloader. (Sorry about that)

It requires your phone to be jailbroken.

You CAN directly download videos on to your iphone.
[Touch HD General] eaglesteve:
Good info. Thanks.

Every bit of such info counts.

What about some rudimentary form of spreadsheet? Do you know of any on iPhone? As I said, it need not even have to be excel compatible. I'm willing to make compromise here. Just like I'm going to consider notepad a poor but acceptable replacement for a proper word processor.

[Touch HD General] ryaninuk:
I switch the SIM between phones. i have a data plan with my iPhone and the SIM works in the HD as well. I am carrying both these days. The HD I use for calls and data, The iPhone I use for my iPod, games and wifi when I am out and about. It functions fine as a wifi/iPod with no SIM inside it. If I had to choose which only one I would always go with the iPhone. I say that with no hesitation at all it isn't even close.

I mainly carry the HD as I am trying to force myself to like it. Though if I have to write a long text and there isn't wifi available I will swap the SIM out of the HD to use the iPhone for typing or if I have my laptop with me I use the HD to tether if I want to. I find the HD keyboard almost unusable.
[Touch HD General] eaglesteve:
How do you type with iphone's default keyboard though? It is the worst software keyboard I've used so far. Incredibly slow and error prone for me. Is there a third party keyboard available yet?
[Touch HD General] ryaninuk:
I use the standard keyboard. I find it is easier to type on in landscape mode. Once you are used to typing on it you can type very fast. You need to use it for a couple days and the software adjusts it to your patterns. Testing it in a store wouldn't give an accurate result. The other key to using it is you have to learn to trust the auto correction. I don't ever worry about if I make typos as the correction turns sometimes even the most garbled junk I type into the right words. I come to an HD forum and end up answering more questions about the iPhone than I am asking about the device I registered to find out more about LOL.
[Touch HD General] eaglesteve:
You're probably right about needing time to get used to the device. You've been so used to iPhone so switching to a different device could be frustrating for a while.

I spent more than 2 hours in the shop today, with the intention of buying an iPhone. I tried to answer to your post but given up because the keyboard is insanely difficult to use. Not helped by the extremely small screen in iPhone (as compared to my Athena 5 inch screen with the absolutely fantastic Tengo software keyboard). The shop assistant had lots of problem trying to get my SIM card working. A reset finally did it, but te network connection dropped out for no apparent reason halfway throughout the session, with a message that says no network found or something. That's when I noticed there is only 1 bar on the phone signal sign, and noticed the shop assistant's phone (not iPhone) shows full bar. I guess that was the reason for the drop out. The shop was located at the top floor of the shoppin complex, directly below the giant skylight (not basement or any place like that), so should not have had such reception problem but it had.

The internet browsing turned out to be surprisingly slow as compared to my Athena's Opera Browser. I suspect this may be related to the poor network signal recognition capability described above?

I accept that it is quite an difficult change to move from a 5 inch screen to a tiny iPhone screen. Also, it is difficult to find anyting that can match Tengo keyboard to be honest. I also realise that similar adjustment is required to move to the relatively tiny Touch HD screen, but I would expect typing to be much easier there for me.

While I was surfing with Safari, I made a lot of error clinking the wrong links because may be my finger is too fat and I did not zoom in enough. At that moment, I was wishing that iPhone supports stylus. Surfing experience would be greatly enhanced by stylus in my view, as I find the pinching and stretching a frustrating and unproductive exercise but something I spend too much time on in order to be able to activate links.

When I tried to make a post to this forum, I was trying to move a paragraph around, and guest what, the absence of cut and paste means that can't be done. I had to character by character delete the paragraph (did'nt find a way to highlight the whole block due to my ignorance) and retype it at another place. I also had problem figuring out how to hide the keyboard when it was covering my typing. I wanted to quickly see what was behind the keyboard but did'nt know how to do it intuitively.

I then made a call to my own home, but did not hear a thing when the connection went through, so I hung up.

Overall, frustration was the best word I could use to describe the experience, so I did not proceed in buying it. May be a jailbroken iPhone will offer very different experience but the standard one did not provide me with a pleasant experience unfortunately.
[Touch HD General] ryaninuk:
The reception on the iPhone is really pathetic. Funny it went to no signal in the store itself. From all you have said it seems obvious to me that the HD is a better choice for you. You and I are two completely different type of phone users.
[Touch HD General] eaglesteve:
NOW I'm convinced that HD is more suitable for me. I stubbornly wanted to buy an iPhone and was prepared to go against logics to get it. Glad the frustration jolted me back to my senses.:p
[Touch HD General] hagba:
Ive been using MXtube on my jailbroken Iphone for the last 9 months,but it stoped working since 2 weeks now,the word is out there is that apple blocked and stopped the the application by changing the youtube download codes.On the Mx tube site you will find hubdreds of posters complaining for something will not work anymore.
[Touch HD General] MAK11:
FYI Coreplayer's YouTube player stopped working around the same time too. So I think that it's more of a Google (YT) issue and not really related to Apple.
[Touch HD General] hagba:
Yes sure..
[Touch HD General] eaglesteve:
Correct. Coreplayer's youtube playing has stopped working. However, youtubeplayer version 1.0.0.9 and 1.0.0.10 work, although 1.0.0.8 no longer works.

The downloading software itself needs constant updating to keep up with youtube.
[Touch HD General] kevwright:
Oh none taken, I promise, but I don't need to look for an iPhone forum, I am in several already, and its no bother, since I still have a Trinity and use XDA Dev quite a bit.

Anyway, why do you feel threatened by iPhone comments?, oh, and yes, its clear you do!

As for figuring out the HD, well I have been using WM for years on and off, and so a few days (extensive use) was fine thanks. I guess, I could say you never figured out your iPhone :-)

Odd thing, I just started using my Trinity more lately, and the crazy thing is, the screen brightness (nothing else, just that) is far superior to the HD (or most other WM I have used), and actually is not far off iPhone clarity.

Hi everyone,

I have an idea for an app and I want to develop it all by myself.

The main purpose of this app is to help planning your routines, habits, activities etc. and build long-term discipline.

I'm not yet sure whether I want this app to be available for Android, iOS, or both so I need proper guidance I was hoping you could give me,

because I want to start on the right foot and code it in the appropriate programming language that fits my needs.

So I assume when choosing a programming language for you app there are additional factors other than the designated platform,

like the type of app, so like I said, the app is a day-planner, it's going to have routine check-lists for habits, workout planners with lists of different

exercises to pick, also calories calculator and meals recommendations and you get the hang of it. Based on that, I only need guidance about the programming language to use

because I got confused since there are so many. Which one is the best use for my requirements? let's assume it's gonna be for Android.

Thanks a ton in advance :)

hello everybody,

its my first post and i'm trying to get help about manging notes. i've looked in other forums, used seach here, and i couln't find what any answer suitable.

the thing is that i use notes for my work a lot, but after a while i get stuck with lots of them that may be useful in the future but not right now. so i woukd like to know if there is a way (software) that would let store them by topic or any other form. i've read that we can't even read them in vista (pwi files).

the note option is great, after acaal you make one and it stores the contact and tima, but afterward you can only store them together.

thank you for your help.

If you have a full MS Offiice installation, check out OneNote. It will let you catagorize and sort to your hearts content. I am using Evernote, which I like it beacuse it is very searchable. You can even search for text in an uploaded image. If you are talking about the call notes, you might want to invest in a CRM program such as ACT.

I hope this helps
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wavey1975:
So after my grandchildren signed me up to Amazon Prime without my knowledge on my kindle fire, I decided to use the kindle toolbox on their brand new fire HD 10 tablets (11th generation).

I completely debloat all the Amazon software (after enabling dev options menu), install google play services, waited a minimum of 10 mins as advised before trying google play and I also installed evie launcher – all of this was done using the toolbox v27.

The problem is when I try to log my kids into their new tablets using their own gmail accounts, I keep getting the ‘something went wrong’ screen and all I can do is try again, but it keeps on failing.

I’ve tried not removing amazon software and then adding google play, but that doesn’t work.

The only thing that does work is if I login to play store using my account.

My thinking is this must be a family link / permissions thing because they’re all under 8 years old.

The really confusing thing is when I did this same thing on my kids Huawei T30 tablets, it worked fine, no problems???

So, it’s either some security setting in the fire tablet, or because these fire tablets have a newer version of android than the old and no longer working Huawei tablets (Android v6).

Anyone got any ideas how I can login my kids into their own play store on their own fire hd 10 tablets using their own google accounts, without creating child profiles and without leaving my account logged in on their tablets for them?

The only thing I can come up with is to change their d.o.b. in their google accounts, log them in, then change it back, but I suspect this won’t work long term.

I really need to understand what’s causing the problem first.
