Unfortunately the pictures viewed in the Gallery won't be loaded in a higher resolution when zooming in. Can anybody confirm this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AG_Uni:
Confirmed, this application ideed doesn't refine when zoomed. Didn't do with Desire neather. I would like to have a HTC album application. That one does zoom and refine...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] °Dexter°:
Search image viewer on market,it should work properly
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] defreng:
indeed - but this gallery is a great looking app... don't want to give it away ;-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rkantos:
The problem is that there's nothing to refine. What I've read in the reviews that the image app makes a smaller version of the original image. So you are looking at less the pixels than the original image. Stupid but hey, It's not a camera. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Nicolopolus:
Thanks for that - can now see pics in much higher res, but the app lacks a few basic gallery features, such as rotate, swipe/move to next pic, etc. Any alternatives?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Opteronvoz:
What about installing the nexus one gallery app like what we did with the milestone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagrim1:
Pretty stupid indeed, with a gallery you want to watch the original images... Not some thumbnail. Hope this will be fixed in the future...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] claudioita:
I use my HD2 mainly for business use. And a functional spreadsheet is a must.

With capacitive touch screen Microsoft Excel mobile is TOTALLY UNUSABLE.

Yesterday I was checking "Numbers" of Apple, and that is how a spreadsheet on a capacitive touch device should be.

Any alternatives for the HD2?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] claudioita:
nothing?

:(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Paten:
Do a google search for "Windows Mobile Spreadsheets". Probably won't find anything but you never know until you try.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] frotna:
Try with Softmaker Office...

http://www.softmaker.com/english/ofp_en.htm
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johnboatcat:
That looks good and free. Try it out and

report back to us how it works out. I use a spreadsheet some so would be interested how it does. Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] elburna:
Huh dont understand that. Excel Mobile works absolutely fine for me (and i use it a lot)... Im sure you will complain about any other software as it wont support Pinch-to-zoom like the original one does
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] p107r0:
another alternative: Docs2Go
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Showtime7:
Softmaker looks promising... I'm going to give it a go
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] claudioita:
how do you select multiple cells: to me is like impossible to make a selection

Hi there,

im completely cack handed and need to know wheres the cheapest place to get a phone fixed? the screen is cracked and i have black zones where the display isnt shown so i guess its pretty serious.

any one offer any help?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jakeclement:
Hi been following XDA for quite a long time now (great forum)

Just had a thought would it be possible to connect a USB harddrive to your phone and get it to display the files on your phone?

Cheers Jake
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] herman3101:
AFAIK it's not possible for two reasons:

Main reason is that our phone isn't capable of USB Host which is what it would need to be able to negotiate a connection with the HDD. Both devices are effectively peripherals. I believe some phones are capable but not the Hero.

Secondly you would need to cable to go from your HDD which terminates in a mini usb connector (sure you'd be able to find on though).

Sorry,

Phil

Also, this question belongs in Q&A not Development but I'm sure a mod will be along shortly to sort that out.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] docertabum:

...but surprisingly nobody needs that.... pity...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] herman3101:
Sort of stand corrected then I suppose. The usb chip does support Host but the support isn't in the standard kernel. He has made a go at porting it to the 2.1 kernel and is hoping to have it integrated into a villain rom. From what I read, I don't think he has got the USB port to be powered which severly limits the number of applications for this. Can get round by using a powered usb hub but this is pretty useless for mobile uses.

Is very interesting, still very much a work in progress though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jakeclement:
Thanks for the quick reply just thought could be quick useful.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ticho:
When you think of it, if your phone battery would have to feed power to spin up a harddisk and keep it spinning, it would get depleted pretty quickly, so this feature would be of limited use anyway.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nortynort:
3.5 externals use their own power supplies
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] huuuuuh:
it would be cool, if this would be possible^^

an usb-memory-stick would be enough for beginning :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mike390:
That guy developed a kernel patch with a driver to support usb host, maybe we could add it into the kernels that are being released, or even make it an optional patch that would be compatible with the kernels in this forum? I think keyboard support would be awesome, especially for those of us who like to flash roms often, it would make typing in all of our different account details in over and over again less of a hassle.
[Android Apps and Games] Hebbem3:
Installed the app via the android market and did backups with it before updating my X10i.

But after the update of the phone i cant find this app in the android market place.

But if i got a hold of the apk file and download it to my pc i would be able to put it on the memorycard and install with astro, Am i right?
[Android Apps and Games] Sjums:
Yes you are right. or use adb without even transferring it to your phone :)

The exact name of the app and dev of it?

Protip: goto appbrain top search market
[Android Apps and Games] Hebbem3:
It´s called: MobileHome Backup

I cant post a link to it since i´m a new user here..
[Android Apps and Games] Hebbem3:
I can find the app on the page appbrain and in the appbrain app.

But when i try to install the app it says: There´s no matches in the android market for the search: pname:mobilehome.backup

What to do?? Can i get a hold of the apk file in any other way?

Handy backup for android would work to. Did a backup with that program to before the update just to be sure but now i cant find any of the programs in the market. Why did the market change beacuse of the update?
[Android Apps and Games] Sjums:
installed from market (http://www.appbrain.com/app/mobilehome.backup)

backed with Titanium

found on sd

send to myself by mail

attached here :)
[Android Apps and Games] Hebbem3:

The only problem is that the program didn´t restore my messages even tough it said it did... =(
[Android Apps and Games] Sjums:
that's a shame :/

else glad i could help :)
[Android Apps and Games] Hebbem3:
Could i ask you for a major favor?

To do the same thing with this app: Handy backup for android

Did a backup with that program also..

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Sjums:

now you've got me started :P

I can recomend you to get a program like Titanium Backup :)

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bigmaz:
Hi guys

When I bought a HTC Touch HD a while ago, I got it as it was seemingly the best rival to the iPhone. I do like the HD. But one thing I wanted was decent apps like the iPhone had, esp games. Looks like the only game that the HD can boast about is Xtract, on every thread on here, thats the only game ppl talk about. Where are the games that I can play that shows it can compete with the iPhone games. Everyone sitting on the train playing great wee games on their iPhone, but I have Xtract to play, or stupid wee puzzle games with no graphics, pretty dissapointing. Can anyone prove me wrong with this and point me to great fun apps and games for the HD? I dont see the point in slagging the iPhone, if its clearly better when it comes to the fun aspect to the phone, which is why most people want these days.

Cheers guys

Martin
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tasty_boy:
I tottaly agree with you...

you think exactly in the same way as me...

im so sad with my Touch HD too

nice point....
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ASK768:
tbh, the touch hd is not really a games platform, its more of a getting things done type of device (something i think it does very well). Sure, it would be nice to have some extra games, but i bought this device to help keep myself organised as well as do some cool geeky stuff and my hd still does that fine. Maybe you simply bought the wrong device?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tasty_boy:
lol, i think that i bought the wrong device for games and apps...

but to browse the web and read some study things it's nice

i wanna change it, but i didn't see any really good device to replace it

so i will wait for that...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Silverdragondk:
I don't know. I think it's pretty nice being able to play Starcraft, Warcraft, Heroes of might and magic and various other old pc games on the blackstone. Don't think that's possible on the iphone.

Other than those, you still have games like monopoly, asphalt, guitar hero, need for speed undercover, call of duty, assasins creed, fifa, prince of persia etc. etc. Lots of games, really.

regards
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tasty_boy:
LOL, all these games are "Kid games"...

i think that the we need games like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5PX10ASE3E

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbUVpApFS7k

i think that these example talks better than anything...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ZaxXx:
I'm asking the same question: why can't we have cool 3D games like iPhone? I think Xtract and Experiment 13 are the only 2 games which showed us that it IS possible on our devices. So why are there only stupid 2D games with ugly qvga-like graphics (gameloft)?

I've played only two really good games (unfortunately both 2D) on my device: Archibald's adventure (made in Czech republic :)) and OpenTTD. Most of other games are useless and not pretty funny/exciting... :(
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tasty_boy:
I dont wanna 3D games with stunning graphics or something like that...

i just need something like this...

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] zarpy:
games

Well there are several reasons for the lack of games on the HD2

1) Gameloft give iphone a better version because they make more money.

On windows mobile most users look for cracked software.

2) THE BIGGEST ONE: Developer tools: Iphone has 2 and 3D compilers that are optimal for making games. Microsoft tools will piss you off , and takes longer to make games.

3) Proper feedback: Alot of up and comming developer like myself have seen where you release a freeware game and hear tons of compliants!! Like ohh this game doesnt have multi-touch its crap. Mean while they dont understand that not all developers have access to the best tools.

The solution is simple , consumers must tell Microsoft give developers easier and better tools to work with. That way we can deliver bettter games to you. Us developers need your help to make better games.

Here is a screenshot of Resident evil on touchpro2 , looks nice. I dont know when it will be released though.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 574ND410N3:
i would like also to play very nice interactive games, but with all the functionalitys of wm6.5

i never wanted to buy a not adaptive system like iphone, just only to play games..

yeah the tools for wm6 is also a crap... the problem is that many wm6 phones have different specifications, this problem apple dont has...

but everything that gone wrong on wm6 and older,.. its going to be a way better on wp7. finally...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] zarpy:
working on

Yes most developers are getting fustrated and consumers as well. Alot of the problems with resistive screens , so there is no multi-touch. Iam working on this resident evil 5 port, but its so tough. I cant make it 3D but just trying to make it fun for people to play. This screen shot is what I done so far.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tasty_boy:
yeah dude, that's nice...i support you in this project, do it!!, it's fine!

i think that i should change my device, ther's nothing ahead in Wm 6.5

bubble breaker, solitaire and pac man, that's all....

i think that Android and iPhone can give us a "little" more...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] zarpy:
tims demo

Here a demo of a really fun game Tims key Quest. The controls are easier than most action platformers and the graphics are simple and smooth. Try it and tell me what you think. Android is not really that good trust me, but the iphone is a monster . Iphone is good and has solid games . I think people buy thier games because its 99 cents. Thats why I price my windows mobile games for only 99 cents , because after buying the phone, your broke.

If you want me to add more games here just let me know!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] d-signet:
I think you're being a little unfair on the WM platform.

I use - and have developed for - winmo, android and iPhoneOS , and can tell you that the MS coding solution is FAR superior AND easier to develop for than either of the competitiors. xcode is one of the worst programming environments i have ever seen, and every iPhone developer i've spoken to has said they wish they could use visual studio instead.

As has already been mentioned, WinMo devices are more 'tools' than 'toys'. You don't get a winmo phone for playing games, you get one becuase it's reliable, versatile, and well priced. The iPhone - while being great to wave in front of your friends in the pub - is crap in EVERY other respect. They break VERY often, the code is nightmarish, and you can only do what apple WANT you to do with it. Contrary to what you may think - the hardware isn't much higher spec than the standard winmo devices at the moment (worse in many respects) . WinMo has many classic games available including the Quake and Doom series, Guitar Hero, Lemmings, all the PopCap games, and many many more....it's not meant to be a gaming device though. As i said, it's a grown-ups phone...a tool...for getting work done. It just happens to look good and perform as-well or better than the iphone while it's doing it :)

Having said that, i'm glad to see you're making progress..keep it up and good luck :o)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] pickpocket:
Can't we all just play Pocket Uno and get along?:D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Elemris:
There are so many excellent games for the HD I don't even know where to start. Countless 2D platform games and shooters, countless puzzle games, stuff like SCUMM for playing classic quests, various emulators, RPGs (Creatonia, Zenonia), strategy games, any board game you can imagine.

You also have 3D shooters, but those are generally not so fun to play for the lack of multi-touch. Multi touch would help make it playable, but seriously, you need a gaming system to enjoy a 3D shooter, there's just too many controls needed for it to be enjoyable on any phone.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] zen_livin:
i think you're buying the wrong device dude

iphone is more multimedia + game phone

so if you want buy a device for listening music, play game, maybe little suft internet

iphone is your right device for u

Windows mobile is PDA...

with winmo you can change user interface.. cook rom... remote pc ...etc

and the app in winmo is more for help you at work.. not for fun maybe or serius work

not for much fun like iphone...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] apatni:
well I have different opinion becoz i fall in both categories

Game and Business

first thing let me clear one thing is HD is not a gaming device its more business phone. But its not like you won't have games on HD I have NFS and other game which works awesome on HD.

iphone is not a business phone and they made this phone only for teenagers who want music and fun. its not multitasking and not like HD so forget comparing your HD with iphone. i don't like iphone becoz they are so arrogant.

XDA not allows to post crack tools or games otherwise you never complain about games on HD :p

you can google it and you can find N number of games which work on HTC Touch HD :)

One best thing which i love for my HD is its work gr8 with Garmin Maps becoz of this i can drive in any country ;). Now this you won't get in iphone :P and its not tat easy

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bigmaz:
thanks for all your input into this thread, I never had any alerts saying there was replies to the thread :P when I bought the device, they were advertising it as a multimedia device, so thats why I bought it thinking I could do cool things with it like you can with an iPhone. And as for the iPhone being useless for serious stuff, my brother basically runs his business from his iPhone and wouldnt use any other device, there are some real seriously powerful business apps for the iPhone that have been very well made. As for the fun side, I just want to play games like "Angry Birds" etc on my HD. I really do not see the point in where WM phones have gone in terms of moving on with the rest of the world. I mean, my HD is not any much more of an improvement from my iMate Jam i bought years ago. Ok, the user interface and the look of the device is prettier and may be faster, but in terms of anything other than serious stuff, its just the same. If I buy a phone these days, I want something more than just serious stuff, and surely in this day and age, it should not be too much to ask to have both. I dont see the difference between the arrogance of makers of MS devices not catering for fun use of the devices, than the arrogance that iPhone gets blamed for about the way they work their business. Does that make sense? :P
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chef_Tony:
i understand your disappointment. however, it is neither htc's nor microsoft's responsibility to make games for the devices. actually, windows mobile has come a long way in the past few years. platforms get more and more standardized, and that is the most important thing for app development.

third party companies just recently started seeing the potential of those standards and the possibilities in marketing their apps for windows mobile, mostly through ms marketplace. and since marketplace knows your device and filters results, so that only compatible apps show, you do actually have a broad spectrum of games and apps there. the reason, the number of apps there is not as high as, say, on apple's appstore, is, that the iphone is one standard with millions of devices sold, while still windows mobile varies in many hardware specs like display resolution, features like gps or g-sensor and the OS version.

i think, the biggest number of apps for windows mobile now can be achieved with a vga device, that has at least a few buttons (a d-pad and a few action keys). action games require the ability to press several buttons at once, and without hardware buttons or multitouch, it is hard for devs to make games for the hd. also, wvga is still not the leading resolution for windows mobile devices out there. while most of the new devices are shipped with wvga screens, there is an broad existing base of users with vga or qvga devices.

if you want a game to actually play all the way through, that really keeps you motivated for a while, i would suggest "experiment13", great graphics, controls and sometimes a real brain teaser.

also, if you like teeter and g-sensor games, resco bubbles or marble worlds come to mind, to take the concept a little further.

for arcade games, there is the 8in1 arcade pack or tetris, just for a quick play on the bus.

for long time motivation and classics, there is always morphgear, and you can have gameboy classics like donkey kong country or mario.

as an absolute apple hater, i can tell you, those tiny games, iphone owners use to show off, like g-sensor activated "hitting the toilet with no.1" (whatever it is called), or "tossing a ball of paper in the bin, while a nearby fan drives you off" and similar gimmicks are exactly what you'd expect, a simple yet expensive app to show off, what their phone is capable of, but when nobody is looking, those are not games you'd want to play for long. but even i have to admit, having a friend with an iphone brought me one app, i probably wouldn't have come across on my own, shazam. and that also exists for windows mobile.

and after all, there are a lot of commercial games, made by spb, ea mobile, pdamill, handmark, that are of great quality and work nicely.

i thnk u bought a wrong device my dear sir.. htc blackstone is like a bussiness phone which can handle your documents and so on... and the processor and gpu are not so powerful to run an advance 3d games.... sorryy
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] if08009:
I bought this HD not for game.. but for something that help me to study.. it's nice gadget I think.. :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] andes83:
Well the Touch HD vs Iphone rivalry has been discussed a lot of times and the moral of the story is that when you're buying a device you have to research it carefuly and know what you want from it.I have my HD for a year and a half now and I'm still hyped about it I love that I don't have to modify files like mp3's or video just to use them from my computer.I like the versatilty of the phones looks and feel (manila ,titanium, android, SPB mobile Shell and etc.) you can change virtually anything that you don't like.

Yes games are a issue for the HD but since I found WiMo speed and can overclock my device to 748Mhz and games like Asphault4 became quite nice and feel great.Of course the device can't handle well the new games that are designed for HD2 anyway but well it's an old phone don't ask too much from it.I'm happy that there is still progress on the 6.5 platform as I really hate the WP7 looks for me the future is Android and Nvidia Tegra chipsets but I'll hold on to my HD for now it simply does the job that i expect from it. :)
