I don't know why this hasn't been made so far, but applications like Penetrate for android is really needed for any platform...

So, the idea is that a simple applications searches for wireless networks and if it's one of the usual hotspots SPEEDTOUCH, THOMSON etc then the code is found from the dictionary or the algoritm (http://www.gnucitizen.org/blog/default-key-algorithm-in-thomson-and-bt-home-hub-routers/)

Dictionary and details for the similar android application can be found here: http://underdev.org/penetrate/thomson-dictionaries/

Anyone know a good place for a tutorial for 3D gaming? and my 3d models, what kind of resolution do I need, I assume I don't need super smooth 3D models as the phone can't handle it right?

Metacritic Tile

I'd love to see an app that display a Live Tile of the currently playing album and discreetly (already done the design) display the Metacritic rating of the album. I would code it if I knew that could be done (do we have access to the currently playing album title, is it possible to scrape Metacritic album rating?)

App request for a temporary full bright screen "switch".

I have a Focus with a SAMOLD screen, so I usually keep my screen brightness to low+auto to reduce screen burn in and save battery. Ocassionally, I have been outside and wanted to share photos, so I go through the settings menu, set the screen to full bright, and hand the phone over to show off the pics. More than once, I have forgotten to turn the settings back down again and the battery gets killed...

I just wish there was a tile that sets it bright, but returns it to the previous state after a time out...

Prolly not possible, but thought I'd throw it out there.

Running App with interval timer

There are several running apps. Silly thing is they all have the same basic feature set. And none of them seem to have the basic needs of a runner. I need a GPS enabled, media playing running app with an Interval Timmer. Why on earth would you make a running app with no interval timer.

Back ground: Most serious runners know that for training, you should be running with short walking breaks (eg. 10 min running 1 min walking, repeated 3 to 5 times, this would be call 10and1s). This allows your training session to last much longer. Apperantly, even marathon runners do this. It actualy imporves there overall time because the never "hit the wall".

App idea: aetherphone - a musical theremin on your phone.

"Turn your phone into a robust musical instrument."

I am an artist and can do UI if a developer wants to tackle this. A theremin can be described here:

Here is a demo screenshot I made:

in this demo picture it is showing the "R" reverb filter being scrubbed to 54% the text on screen quickly fades away once the affected button is released.

How to play:

The screen will be able to operate with the vertical axis as pitch and the horizontal axis as volume. Optionally these axis can be switched by the user in "settings". Also you can have a split screen mode for two independent instruments OR spit screen with pitch in one window and volume in another is so desired. If the latter sound will only come out when both fingers contact the phone.

Waveshape Selection Circle:

Toggles sine, triangle and square waveforms.

Filters:

You have three filter slots that you can customize with 15 different effects. Swap out filters in the settings mode.

• Tap a slot to toggle it on and off while in play.

• Touch and drag side to side on a slot to change the intensity of the effect. While you scrub a large number shows up in the middle of your screen to show you what its value is.

Loop:

Tap loop once and it inverts. While it is inverted it is recording.

Tap a second time and the loop is stored and a number comes up at the top of the screen 1-9.

Tap the numbers to toggle on and off loops. to clear a number drag the number to the settings gear at the bottom of the page. Loop auto snaps to the closest logical length of measure (guided by bpm and time sig settings)

BPM & time signatures can be set by scrubbing left and right. The text pulses gently to the beat and the time sig pulses to the appropriate scale.

Particle effects change under your finger depending on how long you have held a ante and how quickly your finger moves:

Tap a note/vol and a ripple happens like a drop of water.

Sustain a note and you will get many concentric rings fading from that spot.

Zip from one note to another and a line will appear to tell you were you came from. it will fade in one a couple measures.

App Idea/ Gauge of interest for a WP7 Local Sync App

I have seen a plethora complaints about the lack of USB/local sync capability with Outlook. So what I need to know before investing much more time is: Would there be any interest in a "local" Outlook sync application? It would most likely be wireless, but wired may be possible, it would be loaded on the PC just as activesync used to be, and would basically be an third party Activesync replacement. I have done enough of the basic research to say that it is technically possible, now I need to know if there is enough interest to justify taking the time to actually do the development.

App Idea/ Rewards Card Management

This is just an idea that I have for an App. I have never developed an application before and will be attending the Windows Phone Garage training and need a good idea, someone mentioned this to me and I wasn't sure how useful it would be.

Basically, the app is for people that have too many rewards cards on their keychains, ie: Best Buy, Local Grocery Store, CVS, Radioshack, cards like that. My idea is to create an app that you can use to take a picture of your card and store the picture in an organized manner, like Alphabetically or by a particular Category say Food or Electronics. Then you would be able to pull up the picture once you are at the store and use it instead of carrying the card around. Thus freeing up the clutter on your key chain for what they are actually meant for Keys!! lol.

The only thing that I am not entirely sure about is how well the laser scanners will work with scanning the phone screen for the barcode. Other thing that I am not sure about is how practical this solution could be, like how many people would use it? I myself do not have many rewards cards but I know there are members of my family that just like to collect them pretty much.

What I am curious about is if this is a good idea and if it is something that people would buy. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

WP7 app for prepaid

I live in a country slow internet speeds and relatively high data cost. I normally use Wifi and sync manually. I know that I am far from the target market for WP7 but here is my request...

Live Tile to toggle Wifi

Live Tile to toggle data connect and 3G

Live Tile to Sync all email accounts

I don't know what API's are exposed but this should be a simple app. If Live Tiles are too much bother, a simple app that allows the above would be great.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] KonAitor:
This should be possible with the 7.1 SDK, have not played around with the new API's though.

Req: App for streaming Live PCTV from tv tuner at home

A few years ago, when wm6.5 was still the one and only smartphone os that matters, there was this little program, wich is called: mytinytv (http://www.mytinytv.com/).

It consists of a server on your computer and a client on your mobile. The program streamed your incoming tv signals from the tuner to your mobile device, this way, you could watch live tv anywhere. Pretty much the same as slingbox, but slingbox will cost a few hundreds, while a tv tuner for the pc costs far more less. Other solutions like Orb, doesn't let me configure the quality settings, while Mytinytv does.

So what's the deal. Basically, we only need to write the client app, as the server software will still send the incoming signal somewhere on the internet.

We just need a WP7 app/client to pick up that signal and we're good to go.

So, is anyone familiar with this? Has anybody used this app in the past?

The website has not much activity anymore, but the files are still there to grab.

We can use the server software to broadcast the signal and write a client app for wp7.

This, actually I was, and still am considering taking up this project. I need to work out a few details, Like controls for a fully touch screen phone like my HD7... It would need to be able to use a keyboard as well (HTC Pro 7). Plus I need to see how to emulate using C# and silverlight....

Does anyone know where I should Start?

This should be possible with the 7.1 tools... I believe mango opens up the camera API, unless that was NoDo..

Absolutely yes. I've been a user of windows mobile since way before it was called windows mobile! Bought my first CE device back in the mid nineties.

So yes, an application like this would satisfy lots of people from what i've read on the net.

Screen Timeout App and Connection Manager App

If any developer knows how to do it or knows that it is impossible, please let us know. If it is possible and you would make app for us, I will name my first child after you. I am sure there is enough interest here and in the market for these features for you to get some donations. App or hacks, either would work.

1) Screen Timeout App: Keeps screen alive when charging. This will allow us to enjoy the artist images in Zune while we are charging our phone.

2) Connection Manager App: Gives quick access to WiFi, Bluetooth, etc... In App toggles will be awesome, but even if it provies deep-links to settings, that should work. Should work with all phones and not just phones from particular OEM.

Please feel free to discuss possibility of such Apps. If you are an end user and would like to have such Apps, please post as well. Unless there is enough interest I do not think any developer will step up.

Please for the love of our existence please can someone enable an app to be able to sync your apps through Zune automatically?

I would like an application or something which will allow me to play .avi files and give me support for Xvid/Divx codecs. Also if I could play .mkv files will make life much easier and will be much better, can just copy and watch the HD movies and series I make for my media centre straight off my phone instead of placing them into .mp4 containers.

So basically support for .avi and .mkv files/containers.

As well as Xvid/Divx codec support. The Xvid and .avi is more important than .mkv containers IMO as we have support for .mp4 which is similar to .mkv

I have 2 ideas/ requests:

1. An app which can be used to send text messages from a WP7 device from PC. Like http://www.efficasoft.com/mobileexpress/index.html

2. An app which includes tiles to:

- turn the screen off

- change profiles

- toggle wifi on/ off without going in detailed settings

- increase/ decrease brightness

- increase/ decrease volume ... etc.

I hope a developer find these interesting :)
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] bbbbqq:
How about:

1. Phone ring profiles, so if you set it to say, work mode, it'll vibrate but be silent, and if you set it to home, it'll ring and vibrate, and if you set it to sleep, it'll be completely silent ?

2. Application to change WP7 notification. I figure It'd be something for PC to push an xap

3. Swipe right notifications. Right now, the left screen is the tile screen, and the right screen is the application list. How about making the left screen for notifications, then the middle for tiles, and the right applications ?

4. Battery percentage

5. Something that shows you what applications are new. I like to go into market and install a bunch of apps, but after that I don't remember what I've installed.

6. App to keep wifi alive even when screen is off

Larger Font Size - File Manager - MS Outlook

Increase Font Size: I have been unable to find a way to increase the font in WinPhone 7.5. An app to do so will be very useful to those visually challenged.

File Manager: Windows CE from the beginning through V6.5xx had the normal file manager as found on Windows PCs. Where is a version for WinPhone7? The Zune interface does not always cut it.

Syncing with Outlook on the PC: I miss editing my phone contacts from my PC.

Proximity Sensor

I've read about a number of other HTC Mozart 7 users who are experiencing problems with the Proximity Sensor. Specifically when I make a call the proximity sensor immediately thinks the phone is next to my ear and turns the screen off. It doesn't come back on again even after the other party finishes the call and the only way to end the call from my end is to remove the battery. I gather other devices have suffered the same problem

My request and idea

Hello Xda-Developers,you´re the guys i think who are the most capable developers of wp7-World

my whish,suggestion,question and idea is:an app or alternatively a setting where i can preperare my Wp7 for 1. to act like an usb-wirlessstick for my desktp-pc with the current runnning router and 2. to let it act like as if it´s itself an router,taking it´s connection from 1.the usb-cable 2. the wifi 3.the Dataconnection?(i know that the last point is already done by thetering available atm and that i can use my Omnia as a modem ,but this is not satisfying the way it runs!!!)

Here are my reasons for why i wish the points so how discribed:

1.0:Because atm only by dataconnection of my net,but my housewalls are very thick so i have most times no connection,but router always running with good signal

2.1:Because when it´s connected to pc and the dsl-modem has wifi so that for e.g. my brother or a friend can connect with his netbook

2.2:So for e.g. that if a friend is there i can give him a shorter wifikey and not the routerkey

2.3:Just to complete the app/setting

Last Point: give it a nice livetile

Last but not least it would be nice for all of us Wp7 users

I was thinking of a WIFI Signal Meter (range, strength).

That you can tag a spot where the wifi client is and when you walk outside you can measure or hear ( with beeps or tones) when the signal becomes weak.

Possibilities: you can put an overlay (like a bullseye) on the tagged wifi client that indicates 25, 35 or 50 meters.

Wireless Devices claim a signal range on the boxes. But every house and environment is different.

I'd be very interested in an app that saves money and extends battery life. What I would like is something along the lines of Phone Alarm, which runs under WM 6.x The basic features are:

1. Turn BT, GPS, WIFI, data connection and phone on or off at specific times.

2. same as one but based on charger presence (turn BT on when I'm in the car and the phone is in the charging holder.

3. Schedule email sync to specific times (when I'm at home, through WIFI). This saves money for those who don't have a data flatrate.

4. setup profiles to do the same as 1 plus change volume and vibration settings. Example: "Meeting" turns off all sound as well as BT, GPS, WIFI with one button. These should optionally lock and override timed settings so your radio doesn't turn on in a plane just because it's 11:00 am.

[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] sulehri:
What do you think about these ideas:

An app like Efficasoft Mobile Express

An app which puts shortcut of turning the phone off/ changing profiles and standby on a live tile

A GTD based Task Management app which works offline and syncs with Google/ Hotmail calendar or any app like nirvanaHQ

An app which picks up calls automatically when handsfree is plugged in (i.e. which gives a couple of other options too)

An app which enables MS Tellme even when the phone is locked

Is the list enough? :)

Could some one do a autolunch app based on events?

For example phone is aware when it is plugged just to charger or via USB cable (even without zune).

My idea is an app that does fallowing:

You select event - I am interested in phone plugged to charger or via USB to sync

Then you select action for event - Start an app lets say HTC Dock mode

Then you select aditional criteria - For example if it is between 22:00 and 8:00 start Dock mode ASAP and make the screen highlight at 0 and mute all sounds.

Any other time start Dock mode if no other action is done after pluggin in (like touch screen) after 30s. The delay would need to check what is a screen lock delay and give lower values only.

In my dreams it would also allow for specific actions when phone is in specific position programmed by us. So for example Dock mode starts if phone is at 30 degrea lean but if it is flat on ground start go to app 2 or what ever.

In short a real dock mode without docking station. I often plug my phone in, open the flip stand and have it like that over night with dock mode on but highlight at 0 and I have to do all that manually which makes no sense as phone is always in the same position over night with the same app.
