Doesnt work like that unfortunately. i have a couple of apps on the marketplace now. And still learning more on the way Wp7 os handles alot of stuff.

first of to create the hub like experience the app its self has to be a hub, So you can like create an app that will create a new hub n the phone. The phone does not allow alot of cross applications. As of right now i dont believe its possible for you to access the and pic the details of apps on your phone to your application.

Also upon my studies on the os, if you app takes longer than 10 sec to load the os will terminate the app ( this is good info for all the other developers out there). there are lots of ways around it like using multithreads and make sure your ui thread never gets bogged down.

I will research more on the issue. But as of right now from my knowledge i have to say that its not possible to create the app hub you are referring to.

[Q] Compass? Where?

According to the minimum hardware specs for WP7 devices, they all have to have a compass. So far I have not seen any apps using it. Is there a technical reason behind this?

[Q] My Dream App

Hello there!

I'm obviously new here so please don't be put off by my lack of knowledge in relation to this topic.

I'll be honest here, I have absolutely no programming skills what so ever.

So I have a request! Now that the unlocker is actually out, is it possible to change a few necessary things on WP7?

Look don't take it too seriously, but can I be selfish here and request somebody out there to do us all a favour and stop creating more games for this phone and instead work on some kind of a project/application or applications that will enable this operating system on our phones too:

-Copy/Cut and Paste

-Create a new Media player that will enable us to skip to a specific 'part' of song/video using our hands to point to where we want to go! Instead of being forced to hold down >> or <<!

Also a search option with typing wouldnt hurt for songs!

-Get a FLASH PLAYER ASAP!

-This is a Windows Operating system right? Can you create a media player that will play FLV? Also enable downloading off Youtube etc!

- Get rid of this ZUNE PLEASE! ASAP! Is it possible to actually simply plug USB and GO!? I downloaded it and all of a sudden it's trying to make me play all my media files with it! Come on Zune wheres the respect!

-File MANAGER! PLEASE!

- Please, let me change my RINGTONE PLEASE I SAY!*MOST IMPORTANT*

How on earth seriously, do you manufacture a phone and not enable the user to choose his or her own ringtone?

So I know it's asking for a bit, but pretty please?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Ren13B:
The only thing you can do with an unlocked phone is side load applications without having a paid developer account. It's not a root or jail break or even close to one.

Trucker's Cheat Sheet

An untapped market is the ladies and gentlemen driving the semi's all over getting your good from the ports/manufacturers to the warehouses and eventually the stores. I am one of these such people and would love to integrate my phone more into my work.

I have a very simple XLS I kinda threw up to help in the interim but I would love to have a more feature filled app.

I would like to keep track of my various trips, mileage, fuel economy, pick up and delivery locations. With the ability to add multiple stops to either pick up or delivery. Right now my XLS can't do this.

If anyone is interested in the sort off information I need to have you can PM me for a link to my google doc spreadsheet to get an idea.

[Q] HTC WP7 Apps for non-HTC devices?

Hi there,

I've been a fan of HTC ever since they developed their custom UIs for WinMo and Android, making their devices much more affable than those from other manufacturers.

But now that WP7 is out I must admit that the Samsung Omnia7 would be my favourite device.

Would/will it be possible to get the HTC WP7 Apps (like the weather-app, notes-app etc.) installed and working on other devices such as the Omnia7 ?

The availability of those apps are definitely not a "show-stopper" or knockout-criterion to me, but I do like them somehow ^^ !
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] -WP7User-:
I'm not a Dev, but I don't think that that'd be so easy. I'm sure it's not impossible, but you have to find a dev who can AND wants to do that :D

No, HTC has some baked DLLs in the rom. If their app can't interface with 'em, they wont work.

inSSIDer

Just been into doing a lot of wireless site surveys and demos... I was thinking it would be sweet to have some sort of wifi info app such as inSSIDer for doing site surveys with. Seems like i heard something about the TCP IP stack not being accessible, I don't really know anything about programing... If this is an issue, does Microsoft have any plans for allowing access to this part of the os. it would also be nice to be able to ping locally on a wifi network, as well as telnet...

[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] thesecondsfade:
I searched for a post regarding this to make sure it wasn't already requested so I hope I'm not reposting an idea that has already been discussed.

USB Mass Storage is not an option natively with WP7 so would it be possible to make an App (sideloaded or on the Marketplace) that has a designated area of the WP7's storage for storing whatever types of files a user wants? It would not need to allow use of these files for other applications, just so a person can store files on one PC and recall them on another... basically a USB Mass Storage device that can only be seen by a PC, not by the phone's other resources.

IS there a streaming app?

As this is a windows phone I kind of assumed it would better my Nokia N900 and have the ability to connect to my PC using WiFi and stream my music or videos like my N900 does. I open the media player select my PC and can see all my windows media player shares and play them.

Sadly this seems not to be a feature of devices, only the N900 does it as standard.

Is there an app that can do this?

I would LOVE a shopping ap that has location/gps built in. Not for navigation per say but as far as using it to pop up a reminder.

In the ap you could put "pick up milk, better, eggs" and have it stored in a Walmart category

Then you could have USB cable, Hard drive, etc and have that stored in a CompUSA category

Socks, Shoes at a Target Category

The lists could be endless...

As you come close to a "Walmart" the notification could then pop up saying pick up bla bla bla. For each store any time you come close to one a different reminder could pop up reminding you you need to pick up whatever specific items you put in that stores category. It would be really cool to just be driving around and be passing a walmart and have that pop up come up... Might even work for all the locations of the stores so no matter what one you are driving by the pop up would still show up untill you check the stuff off as purchased.

I know myself I would find something like this INSANELY handy. A lot of the times I have things I need but never go out specifically for just those items. I know I find it really frustrating knowing I meant to pick up something one day and drove past the store 3 times and never went in.

This would be one super super complicated ap I'm sure but well worth it I think.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] djinfamousflo:
What do I want from my Windows Phone?

Wireless and/ or USB tethering.

Voice-to-text for everything from searches to SMS.

Official Google and YouTube apps. YouTube should be fully integrated and it should be as easy to upload a video to YouTube (or Facebook) as it is to share photos to your SkyDrive or Facebook.

I'd love all the other Google apps and maps.

Bing had turn-by-turn voice navigation on Windows Mobile just recently. Why not on WP??

Also, I'd love it if we could set your position on the map to be shown as an arrow pointing either North with a rotating map or if the arrow is relative to the direction you are traveling which leads me to...

A good compass app. The HTC one on my last HD2 was great.

Also, I think it would be cool if we had a WebMD symptom checker app. I'm a new father and always go nuts wondering if my baby's showing symptoms of being sick or not and a symptom checker like the one on www.webmd.com would be great.

I have other ideas for apps but those I'm saving for myself if I decide to start making apps soon.

an app to know what cross platform apps/games/ have been released with ratings also various update info from the world of microsoft to know what new things they are adding to the platform,

funnyjokes app from android on wp7 would be awsome as the current ones are pretty lame and charge to much for the amount of content inside

Hi Aaron,

I was just thinking about your idea and it is a novel one. I have couple of questions that I'm curious to know:

a. When you say "while passing by", how close?

b. What if there are multiple stores that match your category list within the "passing by" radius?

c. When done with one store, how would you want the app to notify you of the next one if there are multiple stores that match your list and that lie within the radius?

Just curious to know about these to see if it is feasible to write an app.

Thanks.

I am a complete newb programmer (if you discount that adventure game I wrote in Basic back in the eighties on my C64 lol after being inspired by Zork.)

Im waiting on;

A. A learning C# programming book from amazon (still hasnt arrived grr) &/or

B. Appmakr for WP7 beta testing approval.

What I want to create (I don't think it will be super hard) is a dedicated server Game checking app. One that allows;

- Live tile update (we have a US based hosted game server & website) with http Game server selected displaying name, number of players and map being played.

- Detailed App showing Server info, Player list, live scores and other details accessible from current gametracking websites (like stats, top scores-players etc).

Example of Basic App layout I want:

http://tinyurl.com/4nfvrza

Example of Live Tile info (not gfx):

http://tinyurl.com/45j9epk

What do you think ? Too ambitious ? (yes I know you can just load up much of this info in a webpage – but that can be said of heaps of apps in the marketplace).

Be interested in any feedback.

It is a niche app idea – but one that works for any online game that uses dedicated servers....

:)

PS the IP address for the server in the 1st pic is for the Day of Defeat Server in the US I help run from Melbourne...
