If you have windows 7, you can turn on media streaming under the sharing and network center and use AllShare to connect.

I have not tried yet, but i have done this with other DLNA devices.

Estrongs file manager works really good. The only problem there is no video player that can play .avi files. At least I can't find one.
[Captivate General] PuffinNugz:
Some of my .avi's work, and some don't. Could it be because of length? Boondock Saints II will play, but Alice in Wonderland will not, both .avis.
[Captivate General] Bjd223:
Avi is only a container not a format. Most players will only play certain formats at certain bit rates on mobile devices.

If a movie you really want to watch will not play you will have to re-encode it to the correct format before it will work.

example: both divx and xvid are both typically .avi files, but two different formats. If the player supports one but not the other then only some of your avi files will play.
[Captivate General] dirtblade:
I've installed Rock(divx)Player (non-market app) and at least I can play some of .avi files from sdcard that I couldn't play before. You can get it here:

[Captivate General] TheOccult:
Hi all,

One habit I've developed with the Captivate is using Advanced Task Killer to kill apps that otherwise would just be hanging out in memory. I do this probably because I'm anal retentive like that, but also with the thought that it save me battery life if I do.

This has led to two questions of mine (excuse the noobiness to Android if these have been discussed):

1.) Why do so many applications start automatically when the phone boots up? (browser, gallery, etc etc). Is there a startup ini somewhere I can edit to prevent this or do all the apps just wake up? It's easy enough to kill, but I find some of the apps that start up very odd.

2.) Over the course of the day, even with Autokill on and security set to "Low", eventually my memory is consumed and it only gets back to its full state until the phone is rebooted. After all obvious apps have been killed the memory usage will will go from ~170mb (after a reboot) to as low as ~130mb (at the end of the day). Does anyone know why that happens and if there is a better way to manage memory/apps?

Thanks.
[Captivate General] emuneee:
I used to use task killers, but I have uninstalled them and just let android do its thing. The only reason I'll end a program is if the program has an exit function or has froze, which is rare. With this method I don't have any slowdowns and great battery life. On the flipside I don't install poorly developed apps. Thats just me though. :)
[Droid X General] cavz903:
Hey guys, i'm hoping you might be able to give me some help here. I'm not sure if this is the trigger but i just installed iSyncr to sync my music from itunes to the droid x. after it weas finished. I went to my (stock) camera app to show a friend some photos i took over the weekend. as we all know there is a little shortcut to the gallery in the bottom left side of the screen. I clicked on it(btw- it does show the most recent pc) but when the gallery opens it says "there are no pictures to display". I tried selecting the gallery from the app drawer and i get the same result. i thought it might have been that i have too much music on my SD so i removed all the whole music folder and uninstalled isyncr. but still having the same problem.

also, last night i received my miniHDMI cord and tried to view my pics on the TV. but got an error on the tv saying "NOT SUPPORTED" i dont think i have tried to look at my pics since then, so i guess that could be the culprit too.

Has anybody else had this problem? or know how i can fix it?

any help is appreciated.

Thank you

:(

So I did the OTA lastnight and rushed to try out Hulu just to get a message that my platform is not supported.

Anyone else have any better luck? This was one of the things I was looking forward to.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cornelious2:
Hulu blocks Android.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Please, for the love of God, search.

Hulu blocks Android, iPhone, and anything that is NOT a full computer. Or rather, anything that identifies itself as not a computer. So what do you do? Go get a version of Flash that's hacked to trick Hulu into thinking you are a desktop computer, and change your UAString to Desktop.

Search the Nexus One forums. You'll find it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] engagedtosmile:
Was posted in the Apps & Themes subforum for the Evo as well, just have to look around. I have it installed and its working. Hulu is generally pretty fast about fixing it though. Good luck.

Having recently switched to Android from WM, I was shocked at how a relatively new OS has a default e-mail client that doesn't support moving emails between folders in non-Gmail mail accounts. If you're a corporate user, you know what I mean.

I was equally shocked to find this issue labeled a Medium Priority by Google, being down at 26 on the list well under things like:

Feature Request: "pure" ipsec vpn client (cisco-compatible)

FLAC file support enhancement request.

Enhancement: Call Recorder

Description:

* As seen on TV! *

* Free demo version available *

* New: change the voice directly into the app *

_____________________________

Summary:

Much more than a simple alarm clock, WakeVoice lets you interact with your phone using your voice:

- Talk to it with custom commands to stop the alarm or activate the snooze option

- Listen to your phone telling you about the weather, news of your choice or a personalized message while staying warm in your bed

_____________________________

Details:

Waking up is not an easy thing for you? You have never found the alarm clock you needed?

Why not try WakeVoice!

WakeVoice can overcome the negative aspect associated to regular alarm clocks, making your morning funnier and less difficult.

The idea is simple: when the alarm rings, you just have to talk to WakeVoice to stop the alarm or activate the reminder.

But that's not all!

Once the ringing stopped, it's your phone's turn to talk to you.

Customizable messages, weather of the day, news of your choice (RSS)... choose what you want to hear.

Add to that all the settings imaginable on a clock (programming various alarms over several days, setting names, volume, times...) and you get WakeVoice, the most innovative alarm clock that you can find on the Android market.

_____________________________

Warning: don't force app2sd with WakeVoice. It's not recommended by Google for an alarm clock app. Furthermore, you'll have issues with Android Market updates.

Sounds great! Can't wait to give it a try.
[Android Apps and Games] egzthunder1:
Is it free?
[Android Apps and Games] ADNFX Mobile:
Thanks!!!!

There will be two versions on Android Market. One free and the other one will be at 1.49€. The free one will be the same as the paid one only with "number of use" limitation. Screenshots will be on the first topic in any moment now.
[Android Apps and Games] MillyMoo106:
Sounds amazing! The dream is to have an alarm app which reads out a time and a todo list or something like that, maybe with the weather after.
[Android Apps and Games] ADNFX Mobile:
It will certainly coming soon .... :D

The screenshots have been added :p

On this day good sir, you made a dream of mine come true.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
I need an alarm that throttles me with a heavy object until I'm actually out of the bed entirely. I'm champion of sleepsnoozing. I either ignore the alarm or I just hit Snooze and sleep another 5 minutes.

Current alarm I'm using only lets me snooze so many times, but I still manage to laze through it.. I think I need to put it up on the bed and make it vibrate, maybe that'll get me going.

Interested to see where this one goes, looks interesting...
[Android Apps and Games] ADNFX Mobile:
I am truly happy for that :) ... I hope that you will enjoy this app as soon as it lands on Android Market :D

In the previous beta versions, there were some features for the "champion of sleepsnoozing" and the most difficult persons to wake. Yet, they were removed to focus on the vocal features and data options (News, Weather...). Yet (again), they will be coming back as plugins in the app in a near future :D
[Android Apps and Games] brandonb81:
This looks awesome. I am looking forward to checking this out.
[Android Apps and Games] jahnile:
This is def.ly an upgrade to most stock alarm clock that's out there. Will be checking the Market within the next 24 hours to see if I can grab. Would love to try it in the morning 08/05/10... :rolleyes:

@brandonb81

Thanks brandon ;)

The application is coming in the next few hours....

@jahnile

I hope that you will be waking up with WakeVoice in the morning 08/05/10... :)
[Android Apps and Games] DaveHTC200:
This sounds very interesting!

Looking forward to trying it out!
[Android Apps and Games] egzthunder1:
Thank you for the reply. The reason I was asking for this is because you cannot promote paid apps on XDA unless you have either a free version of provide it to the community as a free resource. Since you do have a free version, I guess that goes out the window :)

You are going on the Portal, btw :)
[Android Apps and Games] ADNFX Mobile:
@DaveHTC200

Thank you Dave! It will lands on Android Market (only the free one for the moment) in any minute now.

@egzthunder1

Thank you for your explanation! I wasn't aware of this rule on XDA. :)

Currently, I have 80 users that are playing with the LITE version. It seems that the app is stable. I will upload it on Market within 30 minutes from now I hope.
[Android Apps and Games] DaveHTC200:
Waiting patiently :-D
[Android Apps and Games] ADNFX Mobile:
The users are testing....

If you want to follow what's going on, it's in live here : twitter.com/adnfxmobile :)
[Android Apps and Games] ADNFX Mobile:
And here it comes !!!! (only LITE VERSION for now)
[Android Apps and Games] ADNFX Mobile:
According to first Market comments, the application works well for french people with french phones. However, it seems like a lot of english phones have force close ... and then so, they give me a bad mark :( (logical). Any of you have the same issue??

EDIT: I just remove temporarily the application from Market. There is definitively something going on with non french phones. But I am unable to see what! If a few people from XDA (4-5) with american phones are ok to test the LITE application for me. I will give them a free version of the FULL one if it works fine then.

(contact be via mail or PM on XDA)

Your app is bar far the best alarm app I've seen/used!! Actually your's is prob. the 1st I've ever used b/c none have ever been this interesting!!! And I've had lots of smart phones WM and now android!! Is this new one your going to be releasing going to be different then the paid one that's in the Market currently?? When I have a few extra $ I'd like to get your app b/c the trail one is just about done for me but i'll have to wait :(

But I will tell you this, I have spread the word about your app to all Android users/owners I know!!! I'm trying to get you a big following and make you $ ;)
[Android Apps and Games] ADNFX Mobile:
Hi,

Thank you for your supportive message :)

With quotes like this one "Your app is bar far the best alarm app I've seen/used!!", we really really want to do even better! Currently, we're in the development of the next WakeVoice release called "Zoé" (codename). It will be the "1.5" version (we're in 1.1 for now) and we hope that with our new architecture, all issues will be erased like they had never existed :p.

So, the new version will be a "bug-remover". However, many users never got a single issue on the app. For them, I must bring a new feature to justify this upgrade, otherwise they'll think that this is a fake naw version :o.

Thanks again for your message!

@ejackson:

I haven't reply to you yet, but just for you know, I've received your mail with errors log. Thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] mad_vtak:
Yes i agree 100%, i'm loving the trail, once i get some money i will be buying this as well.

Keep up the great work, cant wait to see the updates and watch this grow.
[Android Apps and Games] junkk29:
I have the full version but I can't get it to work with my SE Xperia X10 :( so I asked for a refund. I really still want to use it though. I've turned on the TTS and when I test it, it seems to work fine but when the alarm rings, the input voice box pops up but when I speak to it, it doesn't seem to detect my voice or any sound at all. Can anyone please help? if I know it works, i'll definitely buy it again.
[Android Apps and Games] ADNFX Mobile:
@mad_vtak:

The new version is coming very very very soon ..... I hope that it will be "bugs-free" for everyone .... even if I know that it's impossible .... but let me dream :p

@junkk29:

It's better to try the LITE/TRIAL version before buying the FULL one. By doing so, you'll know for sure if you want to take the paying one ;)

As for your issue, I'm not quite sure what's doing this. First, I'll tell you to wait the new version coming in a very few time on Android Market. This version fixes many many many bugs from US phones!! I hope that your issue was one of these bugs. Then, I must tell you that french Xperia X10 works very well with WakeVoice (one of the best just after the better : Nexus one which seems to has the best success rate at voice recognition). However, US Xperia X10 must be different from the french version. It's very odd that you can't speak. Have you tried a "Voice recognition test" in the settings? Reminder: go to the app's home, hit your phone menu button and then select "settings". You'll see a "Voice recognition test" item. Click on it and try to speak. Let me know what happens next....

Note : A various number of XDA requests have been treated in the incoming version.... for instance, AM/PM mode has just been added in WakeVoice ;)
[Android Apps and Games] lazyboy0172:
looking forward to the update! i'll keep an eye out for it. I am still too scared to use this as my primary alarm and because of that I haven't purchased yet. But if this update helps with the stability I will gladly purchase. Thank you for the support!
[Android Apps and Games] ADNFX Mobile:
WakeVoice "Zoé" 1.5 has just been released to the market!!! Enjoy it pals'!

The changelog is impressive (many many many bugs fixed, few improvements and few new options) and the first feedbacks seems to be good! If the app is really stabilized from now, I'll be adding many features (own news rss feed for instance).

I'm waiting for your feedbacks :p
[Android Apps and Games] dfine1966:
1.5 seems a little more stable and AM/PM is a nice fix for us in the U.S. If I had requested this in the past, could you add landscape support and possibly different looking clocks and weather displays as options would be nice. Support for different wallpapers as backgrounds would also be nice. Of course wake to music, Pandora, Slacker and Podcast player support would also be nice. But WakeVoice looks very promising.

But first should be landscape support.

Thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] ADNFX Mobile:
Hi dfine1966,

Thanks for your response. I've already charged yesterday the UI designer (LegZ on XDA) to make a landscape support on WakeVoice. But only on the alarm clock interface (where you have weather, news and others). It'll be on the next version I hope. Own news rss feeds also. As for the skins (UI customization), LegZ will maybe add them on the next version. It's not sure yet. But they're definitively coming on WakeVoice. For Pandora, Slacker and others .... it's not yet coming. We have some features to add first ;)

Thanks again for your message.

Note: What is your phone and Android version again? What did you find more stable on this version? Does voice recognition work well for you (stop and snooze)?

EDIT:

For Droid X : always an unknow issue when selecting a ringtone ... it doesn't seem to come from the app according to the errors log. Howether, there must exist a workaround for this issue. I'll work on that.

For Xperia X10 : it seems that you can't hear the ringtones now. However, speech synthesis works well on the same volume. I'll search a workaround for this odd issue.
[Android Apps and Games] Mr. Scary:
just my .02! :)

I'm trying the Lite version on a stock Droid/froyo/2.2

It has some interesting possibilities for sure and i'm hoping upcoming releases will get it pretty much ironed out. i have no problem paying for the Full when that happens.

1. Landscape Please!!!! I use a Dock!!

2. still can't seem to get the 'stop' & 'snooze' to work or be recognized.

3. a simple am/pm would also be nice, but not really a must.

4. waking to a morning current news feed would be great.

I've tried to read through the entire post, but probably missed some things. if that's the case and these sugg's are in the works, that's great!

Keep up the great work!

Anxious,

[Android Apps and Games] lazyboy0172:
Love the new version! reviewed on the market, and purchased the full version. Thank you for the continued support! can't wait to have landscape support, rss support and other little things. One suggestion I havent seen here is a 'default' alarm setting. Whenever adding a new alarm, i have to go through and change my settings even though it is usually to the same settings from my previous alarm. It would be nice if there was a way to save a default scheme and each alarm I add after that includes those settings that would be nice.

Again, thank you for the wonderful app and can't wait to see some more updates!

Happy Buyer
[Android Apps and Games] mad_vtak:
Has the trail been updated as well?

Will be using this tomorrow, <3ing the app!!
[Android Apps and Games] ADNFX Mobile:
@Mr. Scary:

Sorry, I don't understand all the abbreviations :(

"just my .02!" ... what does it means? :confused:

1/ For the landscape, it's already at work by the UI designer ;)

2/ What was recognized by the app instead of "stop" and/or "snooze"?

3/ Are you sure to be on the latest WakeVoice version??? am/pm mode was added on WakeVoice 1.5. The mode is based on your locale.... so maybe you're not in "English (USA)"? What's your locale then? Otherwise, go to Market to take the "1.5.1" (newest since a few minutes).

4/ It's coming ;)

Thanks for your message :)

@pansy22:

Not yet at work but for 2.2+ phones, it will be definitively possible.

@maschm:

Yeah, the 1.5.1 Version fixed your issue. In fact, if for your test the day(s) of the alarm wasn't (weren't) today ... huumm... it's not english what I'm saying .... an exemple: your alarm was at "sunday" but you tested on "monday" ... there was your bug. It's now fixed ... well ... I hope .... so is it? :p

@lazyboy0172:

Thank you very much for your comments on the Market ;)

For your suggestion, I think that you already told me that because it's in my todo list :)

Thanks again !!! :)

BTW, fantastic app!
[Android Apps and Games] odl:
I just installed it on my not branded HTC Desire 2.2 and found following issues..:

- voice recognition starts and waits for anytning for unlimited period of time. even if it will record something and not find any matching, it will stay in this status and not start again. not mentioning that alarm is silenced all that time. (shortly - alarm stays muted untill I manualy cancel voice recognition).

- not possible to set wakevoice to turn off itself after reading the weather - it stays active forever with screen turned on and I have to switch it off manualy.

- alarms selection is limited to ringtones sounds.. I'd prefer to chose from alarm sounds on my phone ;-)

- when cancelling alarm sound selection it returns message: "an error has occured while selecting...." but I can still use it, so it's not a big issue.

- as I'm using english language, but I'm not living in UK or USA, I would like to have possibility to switch to 24h time format... (I found that it depands on language selection)
[Android Apps and Games] xiaomei:
Great app, but when I tested it the Text-to-Speech for Weather was a little bit awkward sounding. I know the dev probably isn't a native English speaker, but maybe in the future there could be an option for customized Weather announcements? :)
[Android Apps and Games] redvexx:
CUSTOM ALARM TONES PLEASE!!!! Please let that be a feature. I hate waking up to a alarms.
[Android Apps and Games] ADNFX Mobile:
Hi all,

After more than a month (sorry for the delay), I'm back with good news :D

The next release will be hitting Android Market within 7 or 8 days. It's currently in alpha 1 version and one new feature is simply astonishing : recording your own voice commands!!! I can't tell you how much fun it is at wake up. Since last monday, I'm waking up by saying "soleil" (means "sun"). It's really impressive and far better accurate than before. With this option, even not english or french users will be able to record their own voice commands. Of course, it's better if your language is one of those allowed by Google voice recognition. Howether, I think that you would be able to play with it even if you speak greek, danish, hungarian or others, as long as you're telling approximatively the same thing.

I'm currently working on one other good feature : own rss news feeds.

@DodgerFan:

I hope that you've appreciated it.

@frostering:

I'll be glad yes! We've got some translators working on italian, portuguese and greek support. We've opened a group to make things easier through crowdin : http://crowdin.net/project/wakevoice/invite :cool:

And thanks for your reply frostering :D

@xiaomei:
