[Android Software Development] quicksite:
Quite simply, I've wanted to play my downloaded itunes TV shows, which are in .m4v format. Searched high and low. I'm not a developer, just a savvy end user, but I was surprised at how few offerings exist for multi-format video players on Android.

Here's what I've found so far. What am I missing?

1. BluMedialab.com 's Media Player v 1.6 - costs approx $3.50 USD - claims to play .m4v files. I bought it, it doesn't. Uninstalled and got refund.

They say their new TRIAL version is more advanced... So why they continue to sell any version at all is beyond me. But they do. This should be highly discouraged in my view. The moment it's clear an app doesn't perform as advertised, to sell it in the store is morally wrong, and I think such app developers should be economically punished by horrible reviews, and hammered with email til they take down their pay versions. It's ridiculous.

Here is their Trial Version Media Player v 2.2

2. Core Player is coming, so they say: from Aug 2009:

AndroidForums and other sites announce that CorePlayer Mobile 2.0 is soon coming to Android OS!!!

And here is, according to that thread, a pic of a build:

and here is another from sizzlecore.com:

3. mVideoPlayer for Android:

Some user comments from AndroLib.com :

4. Everything Else....

I found this, Act 1 Video Player at hyperaware.com, and they say:

The comments from the Core Codec site explain why multi-format video players are not prevalent yet for Android. I have to say, really? After a whole year, and Google can't enrich their OS to play videos properly?

Someone please enlighten me. Where's that great app I am missing?

Hi,

Ive been using Opera Mobile 10 since the 3rd beta came out and I totally love it. The zooming works great and I dont really miss pinch to zoom.

Sometimes though I wish I could click links while zoomed out (I know theres a registry edit for 9.7 but I didntvfind anything for 10, I even checked about:config) or disable the zoom completly on some sites where it isnt needed in the first place (google.com/reader/i/ for example)

Can anyone help me with this? Its driving me insane XD

Thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Fana7ic:
Is there really no one who could help me?

I only want to get the iPhone google reader to be displayed in opera mobile 10 so its actually useful

Another problem Im having is that the text is displayed way to small (see screenshot)

---edit---

So it turns out I cant post an attachment from my HD2. Ill post one when I get home.

Hello,

I try many ROMs with Android 2.1, with Sence UI, but all is without SIM toolkit.

Is some 2.1 ROM with STK?

I try find this forum, but without relevant result.

Only this tread

Pleas help me. Thank.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjasper:
All the current 2.1 ports here are from a leaked CDMA Eris rom.

CDMA does not use sim cards, so no sim tools.

You will need to wait for another port from a sim/GSM phone (legend port??) or the official one from HTC
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkoouu:
Actually latest BeHero is a Legend port, so check http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2196 ....

Ok, BeHero is with SIM toolkit. Thank You very very much.

And now, next sync, next download apps, next setting screen and system,...

Maybe a stupid question but for what do I need that SIM Toolkit?

I have installed traffic states cause I wanted to know why my phone is every few seconds online and that toolkit was one of them. So if I dont need it I would delete it.

Thanks!

Had a idea lastnight,

Any way to make taskbars pulsate? Would look nice :D

No one?

A simple no would do....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
Lol! 318 hits to date and not a single comment...

I'll take the hint ;) I'll take that as a no
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Bimme:
when i read the title of this thread, i thought about the annoying flashing in the taskbar when something like the signal strengh is changing... cause this flashing comes with heavy cpu usage and lagginess of the homescreen animations, i find it very annoying and thought i could find a fix for this in this thread. think this is why there have been so much hits.

pulsation seems even worse to me...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] iainbp:
lol..... how would it work ?. Pulsing a bit like knight rider's red lights. from side to side ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
:D maybe...

Right, I have the Dusk theme, Thought it would look nice slowly pulsing from black to dark green.

I dont understand how it will drain battery, The whole screen wouldnt pulse all the time, Just what ever active screen you have open till it dim's / locks.

Also lets say it could be done, that might open the gates to scrolling text in the task bar.

Eg. Im changing icons on JMWD, when it gets to picking the icon, it lists the name of icon at the top but its cut off due to wifi/signal/speaker/batt ect in the way.

I find its a growing problem in more applicaions i use.

Was just curious...:rolleyes:

[Windows Phone 7 General] darksasas:
Hi Everyone,

I'm very worried about all I've eared recently on coming WM7

No cut/paste

No multitasking

No Storage card management

And a MarketPlace build on the Itunes-Jail-Model...

So my question is :

Won't we do something to stop that ?

Would someone start a petition saying that if Microsoft keep going this way, we'll all move to Android !

Maybe I'm just dreaming, but if XDA display this petition everywhere, we might grow fast and make some noise. It's not too late.

What do you think ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] ramdroid77:
from what I heard everyone at MIX10 loved WP7, as the majority of people will. We are just bunch of freaks. Even XDA camp is split up, at least half of people dig it as well.
[Windows Phone 7 General] meltwater:
It is high time WinMobile moved forward. Donno if Windows Phone 7 is the way to go, but I think the WM interface never really worked when touch screens came in.

As for opening it up, well I agree MS should make it as easy as possible for people to develop for free. Unfortunately it probably won't be, at least for a good while yet which is huge shame.

MS will want to make money from it, and gain market share and for now that means locked down with Apps Store route. Hopefully they will open it up for free developers in time or they will never gain anything over the options.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pupakota:
Don't you think they WANT us to TALK about it, until REAL thing will come out...

It looks like weird advert campaign.

But funny, that people who bought their HD2 were simply fooled.

Few millions there, another there...pure FUN.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MatchboxMobile:
Honestly, I'd say there's roughly zero chance of XDA or anyone else being able to change Microsoft's mind on these issues prior to WP7 launch. They thought long and hard about all these things and know some of the decisions will make a certain amount of developers and tweakers unhappy, but really they're focused on creating a revolutionary UX, and to do so they need to control certain things more than before. If you've seen the demo apps from MIX hopefully most will agree it's worthwhile pain for the expected gain.

Microsoft isn't turning it's back on the WM dev community though - the tools for developing on WP7 are excellent (so long as you're already doing managed code at least), and now all free. It's impressive the things you can do with Silverlight/XNA/Blend on WP7.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Reedim:
Man, i much more worrying about that there isn't a release for the Leo, because it has too much buttons (what an idiot reason!!!!). I bought my Leo for wm7. I veryvery disappointed in microsoft. I going to move to Android! :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] pupakota:
..because this is not a reason.

This is game about getting attention.

Very, very strange way of advertising, to be honest.

They are sure, that people will buy ANOTHER 500+$ device just to get their feeble bs. Ridiculous.

(personal opinion).

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

Name it, lol. This is exactly same thing as Kaiser and its drivers(if there is someone who remember these times - users

were told

they will get DRIVERS...yeah, right - people did not learn, i assume).

I am not against progress - I am against stupidity and fooling people.

g'night.
[Windows Phone 7 General] meltwater:
Well I agree, there is so much available which is good for wm5, wm6 etc but wp7 with new start should open up even more possibility of graphically rich and media centred experience. In theory that is.

Look at the development between wm5 and wm6, hardly anything in how long? Hopefully it will be updating interfaces only for wm7, spb and htc have both realised that people want more eye candy than wm could provide.

I love windows mobile but I like the iPhone package, only because it appears to work. But I wouldn't buy an iPhone because there might be an app for everything, but with wm there's a free app for everything. (Although not when big companies forget about wm!)

If WP7 is free to develop on, using MS tools, then fingers crossed the draw of fast fancy graphics and features will bring back developers from iPhone only apps. No doubt MS will extract their pound of flesh first but hopefully it won't end up locked down like the iPhone.

Then again, there may only be fancy graphics in WP7 and no substance or power left for anything else, but without WP7 don't you think WM would end up being shelved (and where would the little apps go then? somebody think of the apps). Perhaps Android is the future!

Also, why do they hate hardware buttons, give me a D-pad back please! If want to flick my fingers around I'd take up tiddlywinks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rumpleforeskin:
im sure WP7 will be quite a success, you need to remember that most phone users are not enthusiasts like us. What the general public want and what we want are very different criteria. See how popular Iphone is!

I see no problem with WP7 not having

No cut/paste

No multitasking

No Storage card management

there is already WM 6.5 that does have these things and there is no wait until its released :D because we already have it.

Maybe in the future when no more WM 6 devices are produced we will have a tough choice on picking a new device, or maybe people will cook 6.5 for the WP7 handsets (upgrade with older version ha ha)
[Windows Phone 7 General] matejdro:
There is nothing we can do. Even if whole xda makes petition or something, who cares about some stupid forum where geeks want do to something?

Couldn't agree more. Im suprised that they allow QWERTY.

Also where is competition here? What can phone vendors do to make their phone better? Most stuff is already standarized, so there will be bunch of same devices on market.
[Windows Phone 7 General] khaytsus:
Personally I think they're taking all of the flexibility and breadth of applications away from the platform and moving towards the pointless "There's a crApp for that" mentality.

I won't be looking for a phone until towards the end of the year, I'll be taking a serious look at Android and WebOS at that time I believe.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Pitchb3nd:
MS won't change it's mind no matter what, they are trying the Apple approach, at least we still have Android, too bad cuz I loved WM...
[Windows Phone 7 General] dicast:
The best petition is not buying wp7. Believe me..they will get that message real quick. It's not the end of the world. MS forgot that there'r other platform out there (Android).
[Windows Phone 7 General] meltwater:
well if they do mess up wm, then think what the combined effort could do with Android instead!
[Windows Phone 7 General] owziee:
Seems everything nowadays (Not just Windows Mobile) is all about moving towards "locking things down", taking away the control from the regular people ala iphone style... and people seems to just accept it with a smile on their lips.

Companies are trying to control everything their employies (correct english?) do, trying to prevent them to use facebook at work and logs everything they do online... Seriously, what the f^** is going on??? Why not implement internet filters all over the world aswell? Buy the technology from China!

Soon when microsoft have killed windows mobile, android will be the only option for me at least...

Maybe Windows Phone series 7 or whatever they call it will be a huge success, but it's not windows mobile anymore, ok it's finger friendly but the OS will be as restricted as China itself. WM the way we like it will soon be history...

I will enjoy the freedom while it lasts and stick to current wm until I'll switch to Android...
[Windows Phone 7 General] SUCCESSOR:
From what I've read WebOS is going bye bye. Palm will be switching to Android. Shame. I never used it but from what I've read it had great potential.

I am indifferent to WP7 till i use it myself. I am not upgrading anytime soon and am waiting for a the next step up from the Rhodium(in all aspects) be it an Android or a WP7.

WP7 will take time to work out the kinks. It might not cater to everyones needs at first but I have faith that it will one day be something only Fanatics and Apple Fanboys will hate. <GARTH>"We fear change!"</GARTH>
[Windows Phone 7 General] darksasas:
@ owziee

Hope that, all of you guys, have signed the petition...

Of course it won't change Microsoft'sMind.

But "Who doesn't do, doesn't get"

It starts there....
[Windows Phone 7 General] Shasarak:
What do you imagine MS will do if no one buys WP7S? WP7S is the last roll of the dice. If it fails, MS will get out of the mobile device market completely.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Except that it will hardly happen, general public couldn't care less about jails and even breaking them.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DMAND:
I guaranty there will be loads of people who will buy it because they want xbox live and zune on their phones and I reckon I'll join them as I'm getting fed up of phones that suddenly start becoming stuttery randomly, or has bugs that I have to end up waiting for an operator to release their branded version of a to ROM fix because I don't want to void my warranty and basically I don't get the time to endlessly flash new ROMS these days.

But I'll still be hanging onto my WM6.5 HD2 :p

Charge untill it shows that the battery is full. That is, 100% and the led lights green. It takes about an hour.
[HD2 General] Baker0:
I always thought you have to do a longer charge for the first time. Or is that BS?
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
Was true with old phones but not with new batteries. I'd still give it a few hours though - does the manual not say anything?
[HD2 General] Baker0:
just charge and go...

Yes it is tru with old phones, in the 90's., you had to charge them a long time. But that is a decade ago. :)
[HD2 General] dgsroadshow:
Charge it untill orange led turns green !

The battery will not overcharge as it stops charging when full !

Battery life at first was terrible 8-12 hrs

I found that if you charge it then use the phone untill the battery runs out (ie low battery warning) then charge it again & keep doing it that way the battery life gets longer & longer im now getting nearly 3 days without a charge !!

My GF was messing with my Samsung Saga last night which uses windows mobile 6.1 operating system. In a drunken or high stupor she added a numeric password to my phone and now I can not access it at all. She and I tried a bunch of different codes only to get locked out of my phone because of too many attempts and all my clients numbers I have in it. My question is does anyone know how to hack into my phone so I do not loose all my contacts info? I have verizon carrier and I can look up all the numbers I have called in the last few months but calling up clients and asking them who they are is not an option. Does anyone have any sort of advice on how I can break the password now that I have reached the incorrect password limit? Any suggestions would be of great help. I did have the phone conected to my pc with active sync but I do not believe I ever figured out how to sync up my contacts only my pics...Although that means I have the hot pics of my gf I don't have the ultimately more important contacts I need for our livelyhood.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] drewcam888:
It might be possible for a verizon store to help you. But I imagine you will have to hard reset and lose everything. Now you could pull the pim.vol file use activesync.

The last version (once updated via CoPilot Central) was 8.0.0.557 which suggests that this .659 version is newer, not older I think.

Actually it's the old interface. The one I had cooked in when I bought my HD2.

Since Copilot has totally revamped the interface, including a better menu and also a convenient quick menu which is launched at start up.

the version posted in this thread misses many features. So it is maybe a new version for HD2, but i is old compared to the regular version available on ALK website.

No comparison.
