Music + Video Tile

I'm having the same issue as the OP.

I'm not sure if this is all related to Country Code or not, but this is my experience:

When I first got my Samsung Focus, I initially used a Windows Live account with a country code of USA. Under this account, Zune for WP7 worked as expected. It grabbed all the artist pics, bios etc from the Zune.net.

Due to a Windows Live Contacts issue, I decided to hard reset my Focus & use a Canadian Windows Live account. Since then, I've noticed that Zune for WP7 does not load any of the artist pics, bios etc from Zune.net.

I guess the only way to verify this is to perform another hard reset back to the USA Live account & see if the artist info loads again.
[Focus General] Rcon942:
Music + Video Tile Works again

I've managed to get the WP7 Zune to display all the extra artist details. From what I can tell, this functionality is dependent on your country code. What I'm clear on are the bare minimum settings that are required to get this to work.

For me, I factory reset my Focus. After the reset, I added a primary Windows Live account with a United States country code. At this point, I loaded some music but Zune wasn't pulling any artist info yet. I'm not sure if Zune just needed time to download the info or not. I didn't wait very long for the next step so this could be the only requirement to get this working. The 2nd country code change I made was in the Marketplace & it prompted me to choose a country. Canada was the default value but I changed it to USA. Even after this change, it took a few minutes before I started to see artist info. If everything is configured correctly, you should see the option to buy music in the Marketplace which I don't think Canadian accounts see.

At any rate, I hope this helps.

Cheers.

Similar problem

I get an artist image to show up on the tile, but on my phone it's a different artist than what's playing.
[Focus General] SuperSport:
I shouldn't ask this, as I'm sure you know what you are looking at, but could it be another photo of the artist, not the one on the front of the album? I've noticed that a few times. It will sometimes show them in different situations.
[Focus General] ITDRAGON:
Is there a way just to turn off the album covers showing and just use the artist images zune sends to the phone?
[Focus General] bennyj71:
I'm sure. The only picture that shows up is B.G. No matter what I'm playing. When I another artist Zune will show the artist picture and bio but when I exit to home screen there's the picture of B.G. Matter of fact most of "live tiles" aren't like the videos I would see before the release.
[Focus General] wrxdrunkie:
I get that also when I am playing in underground artist, it will show a live tile of the last major artist that was playing.

[Android Apps and Games] pepetrovski:
Hi dudes!

I just bought my first Android phone - Huawei U8150 IDEOS. It has Froyo on it and it is "with Google" on the back, which by the reviews means that is with bold Android 2.2 and not with some apps from the manufacturer.

But, as this is my first phone on Google, I would like some recommendations for apps, security maybe, what to do with it, and of course some basics about the Android itself because I don't know nothing about it. Don't be angry at me for that, and I know that this is not the COOLEST phone (by coolest probably means most expensive :P) but it is enough (given the money amount spent on it). BUT THANK GOD, I FINALLY BOUGHT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyways, this may be some useful informations for the newbies also, not only for the IDEOS model.

And.....also I live on the Balkan so probably some apps for US region may not work for me.

Any tip and info will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Am.....sorry if there is some other thread like this one out there, I searched and - no results, but again, I may be mistaken. So if there is something like this, please let me know and then close the thread. THANKS!

Bye!
[Android Apps and Games] Glenbot3000:
Congrats on the purchase.

Recommend Angry Birds, Guns 'n' Glory and Pocket Legends straight off for free games. Other good apps include Mini Info, LED me know, ES File Explorer, Foursquare, Bump and 8pen. You'll find some sort of barcode scanner essential (Google Goggles, Barcode Scanner, etc) as there's no App Market available on your computer, so many developers use barcodes that link to the marketplace on your phone instead. As you'll swiftly find out, most of the best apps are free, it's just a case of finding them.

Good luck! :D
[Android Apps and Games] pepetrovski:
Great

Haha, thanks! Those birds are really fun :D. And that 8pen is crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaazy!

Is there any app for tracking the net traffic?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Glenbot3000:
Ahaha. I use 3G Watchdog, as it gives you notifications when you approach your limit.
[Android Apps and Games] Izkata:
The current battery percentage (rather than just a simple graphic) is accessible in the Settings -> About Phone -> Status. The number of apps on the market to display the percent as a widget probably number in the hundreds.

But since that's not too amazingly helpful, there are 3 apps I know of that try and see your usage to predict number of hours remaining on the battery: JuicePlotter, Battery Snap, and my own new one Battery Diviner, which has its own thread in this forum. ;)

Other apps I use often:

ASTRO File Manager, by Metago

Quick Settings, by Sergej Shafarenka

Tasker, by Crafty Apps (tons of automation)

Barcode Scanner, by ZXing Team (for the QR codes you see everywhere online)

FBReader, by Geometer Plus (an e-book reader)

WeatherBug

Winamp

Dolphin Browser

Games I suggest:

Solitare, by Ken Magic (includes Solitare, Spider, FreeCell, and Forty Thieves)

Robo Defense, by Lupis Labs Software

Trap!, by Matt Wachowski

EDIT: I just noticed you seem to like 8pen. I tried it out, probably will again, but in the meantime, SwiftKey is my favorite software keyboard.

[Android Apps and Games] pepetrovski:
Wonderful!

Thanks mates!

That's one cool app, swiftkey. Only one problem though that I forgot to mention, looking for free apps. Not that I wouldn't pay couple of bucks for it, but IF I had more money maybe. And I will try using it your own new one Izkata, just I must wait to go to WiFi area, as I already am near the end of the MB provided for free (300MB for the lowest cost package).

I like to do more with this Android phone, just more time to pass, :) to get use of it and know how the OS works.
[Android Apps and Games] Izkata:
Well, SwiftKey does have a free trial version on the market that works for 2 weeks. I wouldn't have bought it myself if I hadn't used it for free during the Beta, but then again, I don't know your money situation ;)

I apparently Thanked your post by accident trying to hit Quote. Oops. Oh well, Thanks for checking out mine, I guess?
[Android Apps and Games] Tennis11:
Smart Keyboard Trial - Can't post links yet... lol

In my opinion, this is the best keyboard. I never really got good at swype, and this just lets me type so quick, and the auto correct feature is always spot on. You can change it so the long-press duration is shorter, so you don't even have to go to a second screen for punctuation and numbers, they're just alternates...

And the trial lasts forever, with a "bother" message that lasts 3 seconds that pops up like once a day.
[Android Apps and Games] pepetrovski:
Isn't the smart key trial better for bigger screens? I have 2.8 inch, so maybe the swiftkey or the 8pen will be better for me, but I will have to try to compare.

And are you using some apps for the camera guys? Is it going to be better to use some app because I don't have flash and it is only 3 MP?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] pepetrovski:
Are the apps up to date? And are they free to install them, and also secure?

I saw some interesting thing there but still didn't copied to the sd card.
[Epic 4G General] AndroidMilos:
When I first got my Epic, on an incoming phone call, there would be a voice announcement of either someone on my contact list or a phone number if not on my contact list. I don't remember if this came this way or if somehow a friend of mine set it up this way. Anyway, after I installed the leaked dk28 or sometime after, the phone now does not do voice announcement-is just rings. How can I get back the voice announcement?

Thanks in advance
[Epic 4G General] MojoSwag:
Go into settings, accessibility and then check talk-back
[Epic 4G General] AndroidMilos:
Thanks for the reply. That program was not installed so I installed it. But now the Epic talks about everything. hahhahah. I just want the Epic to announce phone calls. Thank you again.
[Epic 4G General] MojoSwag:
I know that its in the stock Tom by default. You could try Vlingo too. I know that you can configure it to read just calls, text, emails, or all of them. It doesn't announce EVERYTHING like talkback does
[Epic 4G General] scrihfield:
Go into settings...text to speech....and then speak incoming caller ID.
[Epic 4G General] AndroidMilos:
I tried Vlingo and every screen it had but could not find a way to configure voice announcement of incoming call. ug
[Epic 4G General] AndroidMilos:
I tried this too but could not find the above and I really spent a lot of time looking at all the settings but to no avail. Maybe they left it out in Froyo 2.2 that I installed??
[Epic 4G General] rhca50:
There is an app called talking caller id
[Epic 4G General] AndroidMilos:
Perfect! That's the application I needed. I must have somehow put it on before and erased it??. Thank you very much!:)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gr8Danes:
This may be a dumb question, but am curious why our Captivate dev's don't use ROM manager as a place to download their ROM's from? I know that the EVO devs use it and there is a nice big list on there for people to choose from. Is there a reason that they prefer not to use it? Is it cost related? Not that it is a big deal at all, just curious. ;)

Is it possible there is a app tht just does this for the Nook? I love my nook, but would like the ability to adjust font color (in the bn app) on my Eris, I ca do this.

If there is such an app, would I need full root to run it?

Looks like you'll want to SBF the device. Google search on how to SBF the Droid X and you should come up with some really good guides.

I have rsd lite and SHADO_X6_2.3.34_SYSTEM-ONLY.sbf I open the RSD and choose the sbf file but RSD doesn't find the phone. there are drivers loaded says Motorola Flash Interface v. 3.2.5.0. I have it in the bootloader says ok to program transfer mode usb. Thoughts

Thanks
[Droid X General] amasse:
Windows 7 64bit pro gives some difficulty with recognizing the phone. I suggest removing the motorola drivers and downloading them again.

I got it to work by plugging my phone in, then installing the drivers immediately after. It is screwy sometimes though.

Also RSD has device ID options. change that and see if it recognizes it. I also find that sometimes if I plug in my phone after RSD is open it finds it.
[Droid X General] Bigstew33:
wow this has been a long process. after not able to get the phone to get recognized on Win7 I moved everything to my win xp comp. while it was in the provess of creating the image file ( took like an hour) the battery on my phone died. So I am charging the phone still. it's still creating a image file. Hope I can resume once phone is charged. I am not sure why the phone doesn't chrge while plugged into the USB port but ok. Thanks for the ideas so far. Will update later
[Droid X General] amasse:
FYI it shouldn't take over an hour to create image. I flashed the .320 SBF 2 days ago and the whole process from start to finish was under 10 minutes.

Also, I don't believe it charges when in bootloader mode. You could power it via USB if necessary (involves stripping a USB cable). I've never done it but there are various tutorials. I'll look around.
[Droid X General] amasse:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-x-hacks/68222-unbricking-your-droid-x.html

See code corrupt error section.

The easiest option is to charge your battery in another X.
[Droid X General] Bigstew33:
yes I charged the phone to 100% and tried again and again the battery died before it finished. the sbf file I have is 280 Mb. If there is a smaller one then maybe it will work
[Droid X General] amasse:
It's more likely that the SBF file you have is bad or there is still some sort of USB driver issue going on. Try downloading it again from wherever you got it.

The phone should not go from 100% to dead in an hour. Also the SBF flash shouldn't take nearly that long.
[Droid X General] Bigstew33:
for now I am stuck. I can't get the phone to charge the battery any more. When I plug the phone into the wall it just goes to the bootloader screen by its self and has an error number and a message that the battery is low. So I ordered some batteries with a wall charger. Once those arrive I will try again. thanks for all the help you guys are giving me. update later date

xakep turbo cam works

the camera work but on some roms with ezinput, the shutter button will not work. there's a fix but its kinda buggy.

workaround - install any small keyboard app i.e pcm keyboard.

2 - remove all skin from pcm to save space.

3 - turn on sip menu from htc menu manager @ use programmatix sip menu to change keyboard

4 - change to pcm keyboard

5 - change back to ezinput... use the keyboard once in any app.

6 - turn off device

7 - boot device and shutter button will work.

the camera seems to behave really bad under low light. no fix there, untill acer releases new driver or some schmuck manages to write one.

because of the letterbox limitation in the camera app, a full 5mp photo will never be achieved. explored registry to change resolution but to no avail. its hardcoded into the camera app.

pictures taken will be displayed in the camera app with some line and image distortions but these artifacts will be gone as soon as the photos are transfered to pc or uploaded to the net.

sorry fro talking gibberish.

To delete all the pics you took with the phone's camera, go into the Pictures hub, select ALL, hold on the Camera Roll icon, select CLEAR.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
You do realize, right, that your phone can sync your camera roll pics to your PC via the Zune wireless link, and that you can set that up to remove them from the phone once they have been synced? Then you can "mass delete" the ones you don't want using your PC, and just drag the folder onto the phone icon in Zune and it'll re-sync the remaining photos back to your phone.

It's not that big of a deal. :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
So basically you can't easily select let's say 76 pictures from 600 you have on the device and delete them?

You can just do ALL or ONE BY ONE?
