[EVO 4G Accessories] AllanonMage:
The problem is the HDMI out: there is no "dock" connector, just USB (which IS host capable, somewhere on that chip) and the HDMI connector.

HDMI encodes the audio into blank space of the video stream, so you need signal processing to seperate the two: that's too close to the DO NOT CROSS line for manufacturers. There aren't many products that do that (right now), and I don't know if there will be. However I found this one in my travels:

http://hinen.gmc.globalmarket.com/p...switcher-4-port-with-audio-output-165992.html

Is the only thing I can find that comes close to an audio extractor for HDMI. And it has an extra 3 inputs!

So you could get the HDMI dock, the HDMI adapter cable, this doodad, a receiver (or a digital audio to analog converter and THEN to a receiver), and then go out to your speakers. Of course that assumes the software/firmware on the EVO can just play audio out that end: because it is HDMI you would have to have a video signal of some kind going down the wire to activate the link. I suspect that last part would be the easiest part. Though, as developers would probably love something like this too.

Yet another case of DRM being a pain in the ass. in this case, we can thank Intel for being able and willing to sue companies into the ground for not following the HDMI rules.

One final note: if there is HDMI plugged in, all other audio stops (ie bluetooth, headphone jack and builtin speaker). I have not tested this, but this is what HTC said on their tech support forum when I asked.

*EDIT*

Just noticed it has stereo out, but the description is in some funny Engrish, so there is no telling if it is actually available.

*EDIT 2*

Appears to have been around for ~3 years, but almost $300 too!

Does not seem to be vaporware, and on the first link, is $128, which is a steal coming from the pro A/V market. Kinda high for us regular consumers, but for that market it's almost free.
[Gen8 General] @xDeepS:
I just paid for it on eBay :)

I hope we got Devs here, I am coming from a G1 xD
[Gen8 General] ExploreMN:
Hope you are not buying a defective unit. Even if it is new in the box. Archos will not recognize eBay as a valid seller and will not honor a warranty through them. So if it is DOA or dies within a few days of getting it, you are SOL.
[Gen8 General] Rhodizzle:
I ordered one off of Tigerdirect last week. Can't wait for it to get here.
[Gen8 General] @xDeepS:
Yeah I made sure it isnt defective. The seller had a good rep. Should arrive on Monday.
[Gen8 General] T Mac:
I just ordered mine from Amazon.com and got a leather case from mp3technology.com

I hope I didn't make a mistake with this device. It seems to have everything that you would need though besides GPS. I don't need honeycomb or dual core processors and ecspecially not 3g. Wifi is all I care about. I'm wondering if pdanet works from android to android?
[Gen8 General] cajl:
great idea !
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Alcibiade:
Wondering whether I am the only one with this issue

I SMS a lot and like keeping the SMS on my device. I had recently an extremely unpleasant surprise: my total list of conversations was back to... ONE conversation with my last SMS and... That's it!!! Thousands of SMS gone

I happen to save everything with mIQ and hopefully it's not lost. However I had the experience already twice in the past 2 weeks so I am wondering:

Is this a feature from Android? Big SMS file --> autoarchive? If then how do I disable it or how do I recover my SMS?

Is it a bug? In which case this is extremely severe and not serious for such an expensive device or for an OS that is expected to be a safe one

Is it from Samsung implementation? Or Android itself?

Please share your experience, I'd like to know if I am the only one and if there is any solution (My "old" Touch Pro 2 with WM 6.5 never lost a single SMS although having more than 30,000 SMS in the box)
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Alcibiade:
Am I the only one? Several years without any loss os SMS on different WM devices and I wiuld be the only one losing them on my shiny new device with the wonderful android OS?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] GANJDROID:
Ive never let my SMS get to more than 500, mainly because I don't like scrolling through congressional. Never had this issue though.

Sent from my GT-P1000
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] scottprotege:
you really shouldnt keep that many sms around anyhow with android, its likely to cause some issues but did you check the settings on the sms app? mine has settings to delete threads after a certain number and is set to 200 by default.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] zeb crs:
I use a program called Backup to Gmail. Works excellent.

It let's me delete sms'es on the phone while my Gmail account keeps them all even if I delete them on the phone.

It can also restore sms'es.MMS restore is not supported yet but backup works good.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Alcibiade:
Yes of course... Besides If I had it set at 200 I would expect to keep at leats 200, not 1

I shouldn't let many with Android ? So with WM6.5 it's ok to have 20,000 SMS but Android cannot handle them ? Hum... Somethng is seriously wrong
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Alcibiade:
Thanks, I know a few of these. Without being able to restore --> kind of useless for me... Actually as far as I remember some CAN restore

I am already using mIQ that works ok (though a bit slow to handle too many SMS)
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] natious:
why would you even want that many, its not like you are going to read through 20k sms
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Alcibiade:
It's funny like the answers are more about having less SMS or why wanting that many rather than why the SMS client or the OS Re broken...

Hey man why do u need a car, just take your bicycle!

I have more than a thousand conta ts I converse regularly with. Then add a certain number of sms per conversation and u get there

Anyway I do not even have that many on my Tab... Far less than on my previous device. And this disappointing device/os/client combination cannot even manage them... What do you expe t me to do or say? Go back to my TP2? Honestly this is ridiculous

meanwhile I'd like to know if I am the only one and if someone knows some fises (other than delet my SMS or but an iPad...)
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] natious:
give handcent a try and use their backup service, ive never had a problem with the stock sms app, currently theres around 300txts for 20 contacts, and 50 or so for the rest.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] e654777:
No problem here as I don't keep a lots of sms. But had a problem with new sms going into the wrong contact profile. So, have to be extra careful not to reply to the wrong person.

Anyone faces the same problem?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] AlexTheStampede:
Deleting would help more than the purchase of an iPad, as that uses the 3g chip to get a data connection, while both the texting and voice service are ignored.

That said... I never got this issue, but my brother has a relatively similar one: long messages tend to be split, mixed and (why not, since we are at it) partly deleted. That is on Eclair using an Xperia X10 mini pro.

Never had this kind of issue when i was at my peak of sms usage: store on the MMC, and there you go, thousands of sms on a puny Nokia 3650.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jayenoh:
Is there a way to edit NV Items through an android application or SDK? Where are these settings stored? How does the EPST program edit this data?

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] a042349:
Can't get Slingplayer to run, buffers to about 50-70% or so and then says "another user is connected do you want to disconnect them?" and whether or not I click "yes" it crashes me back to the home screen. It is working fine with my other Android devices.

Also Splashtop Remote just launches and then crashes back to home screen.

I'm guessing it's either the odd resolution or some problem with the Tegra processors.

Or maybe it's all AT&T's fault!

:)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] irus:
Its not working for me either. I says loging in then buffering and just quits out :(
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] JD914:
I'm getting the same issues, bummer :(
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] rlm1967:
I have my Atrix rooted and installed Slingplayer and I have had no problems.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] johnnobts:
the dish network app works great for me on the atrix.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] a042349:
That's odd, wonder why yours works? What model Slingbox? Over wifi, 3G or both?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] JD914:
I'm rooted re installed the app and it doesn't work for me.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] martyotaku:
they just updated app it should work now
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] a042349:
Yep, they did thanks!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] hadoyle:
Win Mobile

I'm still pissed that I can't just transfer my license from my windows mobile phone.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] fincan:
I couldn't agree more.
[HTC Aria General] Brainded:
OK, silly trivial question here. Does anyone know where to get the wallpaper that's on the phone in the picture on the HTC Aria official site (HTC site, products section - I can't post links here yet)? It was not on the stock ROM (that I saw, anyway), it is not on FR008.
[HTC Aria General] DroidRunner:
No one really knows where to find that wallpaper. I've tried. It looks sweet though. Ever since I've got my phone I have tried.
[HTC Aria General] Brainded:
That makes me sad. :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricksvill:
What's the best Tom to use? I'm seriously thinking of routing again.

RICK
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
By Tom you mean Rom and by routing you mean rooting :P

This is what people fail to realise. There is no such thing as the best rom. A rom is for your liking, your personal preference. Think about which one you would like to have, like Sense, Non-Sense, etc then pick one. You can only try them out.

The main ones that people go for are CyanogenMod 6/7, Oxygen 1/2, LeeDroid. Have a look here.

And before you start a thread, make sure you search for another thread because there are loads of threads like this one.

feed me

feed me has been temporarily removed from the marketplace. I hope to get a new version out towards the end of the first quarter of 2012.

Details: http://www.wpcentral.com/feed-me-removed-marketplace

Full details: www.forty3degrees.com/apps/feedme

When I first got my HTC Mozart I looked for an rss reader but couldn't find one that suited. RSS Central from Adam Dawes came close, but still didn't quite have the structure I was looking for. I always like to look at my subscriptions in groups. If I am tracking two or three blogs related to the same thing then I don't want to have to look at all three seperately. I just want to look at the newest entries from all of them together. So I got to work, and feed me is the result.

Please give feedback about any missing features or possible improvements.

There is currently no video of version 1.11 as I am spending all my spare time getting a mango version up and running.

Here's a video of Version 1.11:

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Chewitt:
Calum you are a legend, looks great.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] _calum_:
just a quick update...

I'm on holiday for a week and am doing the last few bits for the next update... Just got the last bits of live tiles to go, then the tests and it's done.

For the live tiles I will show the total number of new items since the last time the app was open (like the stock e-mail app). You will be able to select which feeds are used for live tiles, so certain feeds with frequent updates can be excluded.

This won't work for backdated items. For example, BBC likes to post items that are backdated to yesterday, these will not be seen as new as the publish date is older than the date of the last refresh.

Feeds included in the live tiles update will always be updated on startup.

Let me know what you think.

I have also set up a page on facebook. And you can follow progress on twitter.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] _calum_:
So I've finished the next update... here are a few of the new features:

A live tile showing the number of new items. This is restricted to showing the total of a maximum of 5 feeds at the moment (or 1 in trial mode). I hope to increase or remove this limit but I want to see how the server handles things first. The tile can be updated in 10, 15, 30 or 60 minute intervals.

You can now add a feed from your google reader subscriptions. They are shown in a flat list similar to the feed search in the current version.

I now check the http headers for feeds before downloading. If the 'last-modified' header is present and the feed has not changed then the download is cancelled.

I added a pivot to the start page. Now you can swipe from the list of feed groups to a list of all the new items (these are grouped for easy browsing).

There is a backup and restore function for the feed settings. This backs up the settings to a SQL server so you can restore even after a factory reset. In this version an anonymous device ID is used so you don't need to log in.

I have also improved caching and done quite a bit of work on performance. The limits for the trial version have been increased to 4 groups of max. 4 feeds.

Unfortunately I have had to do away with backwards compatibility for the settings. This means that all settings in the previous version will be lost. I really didn't want this, but due to the live tile implementation, backup and cache management I had to change the storage format for the settings. The main problem is that it is impossible for me to simulate an upgrade as a developer so I couldn't event try to implement a settings upgrade. This is quite annoying and I hope microsoft will do something about it, but at the moment all I could do was add the google reader support mentioned above, and ensure this never happens again due to the new backup/restore feature.

This only really affects the few paid versions out there (unfortunately, or fortunately in this case :o the actual number is pretty small). Trial versions won't update so you need to uninstall it before installing the new version - this is another microsoft 'feature'.

I will post a full list of changes on the forty3degrees.com website after the update hits the market. This should be towards the end of next week. I have decided to run the final build on my phone for the weekend as there is not point in submitting tonight (nobody will start testing it until monday morning anyway), and you never know... there may just be a bug or two still lurking ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] _calum_:
V1.2 just got published... a load of improvements and new features.

Check out forty3degrees.com for all the details.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] _calum_:
Just submitted the next version. A few bug fixes but a nice new 'tweet article' feature as well. The new version supports all the European and Middle Eastern encodings I could find (I will post the full list as soon as the app is certified)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] _calum_:
Feed me version 1.3 has been published to the marketplace. This version has Twitter integration, improved encoding support and a few fixes. See the site for details:

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] prdonut2k7:
Hey i've been trying out your app for a day or two now, seems to work great so far. If its something i find myself using often, I'll be sure to buy it (first time using an RSS reader, so I don't know how useful it will be for me). Also, I'll let you know if I notice anything/have any suggestions
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] _calum_:
Thanks for the feedback. Feel free to pm me if you have any questions/ideas.

Calum
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] bdotr:
Great app man! Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] _calum_:
Glad you like it :) I'm always looking to improve things, so any constructive criticism is welcome...
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] _calum_:
Version 1.4 is out.

- Podcast support

- Instapaper/Read it later

- Run under the lockscreen

Details here
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] gerrymad:
Nice looking app. With the podcasts, can they be downloaded to be listened to later or do they have to stream? I like being able to download several episodes via WiFi and then listen to them even if I have no data connection or if I have a bad connection.

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] _calum_:
Just streaming in this version... I did think of doing a download, but it didn't make the deadline :(

I will add this to my todo list, and it will almost certainly make it into the next version. I just need to sort out the cache management for the downloaded media, or see if I can add them to the media library. Would you want the media to be available in the media library, or just in the app?

On a related note, I wasn't really sure if I should add the viewed media to the media player history. In the end I decided against it. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the feedback.

Calum
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] gerrymad:
I don't really need it to show anywhere other than from withing the app. I have been doing podcasts through Zune right now and one thing that I don't like is that once I listen to a podcast it just sits there. It gets marked as listened to within Zune and I can delete it, but I kind of like having them just go away. This might be good as a user setting.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] _calum_:
Yeah, I thought that too. I prefer them to disappear as well, and this happened to be easier to implement as there are extra certification requirements if I add them to the history.

I think I'll go with the setting for V1.5 with no history as the default. Thanks again for the feedback.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] kwill:
Thanks a lot for the app calum. It's really fast and nice. Especially the animations and such. I haven't seen one (and I've tried them all and still use Flux) and this one gets it about perfect as for look and feel. One thing I have seen that I'm not sure you could have implemented is a tile view for articles, showing them as an image. That's the one thing I really like about flux (as you've already got the other best part..categores:D), is the overall look when you go into it. Don't want to make you a copycat, just that one option would be great. Or at least an "HTML view" like Feedreader has. That gives the app that last piece of visual appeal. As the rest of it is perfect. Thanks once again as for right now you make it tough for me to choose between this and Flux.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] _calum_:
Hi,

thanks for the feedback. I did think about switching to a panorama with images for the main page, although I would add a setting to allow the current main page to be used instead. Good to know that somebody would like this sort of view :)

Adding images to the article lists would slow things down too much. Scrolling performance would be pretty bad with more that 50 items. (I still don't have NoDo :( so don't know if it's any better with that...)

I am working on an update for this week, but it will not change the UI much (maybe a new transition for the main page... don't know yet). The main improvements will be podcast downloads and hopefully facebook integration (time permitting - the update needs to be submitted this week to try a fix a marketplace search bug... feed me doesn't turn up at the moment).

Thanks again for the feedback :)

Calum
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] kwill:
Yep, someone does want it (tile view):) as that is one thing that stands out about the rss readers on WP7. Flux has seemed to integrate it quite nicely and I believe it's achieved because it has an option to automatically load more items or not. And it only loads 6 tiles initially to keep scrolling smooth for the most part. I like the main page as it is, and having a tiled view of what's new on to the side of that would be cool also. Well, looking forward to any updates for sure and good luck with continued development.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] _calum_:
feed me 1.5 is out.

You can now download podcasts. You can also pause the downloads and resume them later (they are paused automatically when exiting the app).

I also added some new animation for the page transitions. I'd be really interested in any feedback as to whether it still keeps the clean look... if not then you can disable them in the settings.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] _calum_:
Here's a little preview of the changes made in version 1.6 (currently being certified). I added HD youtube support and facebook integration. I also changed the settings pages so that you can now add youtube feeds... making it probably the first app where you can subscribe to a youtube users channel and show the number of new videos on the live tile - correct me if I'm wrong :)

[YOUTUBE]Yg6aQqczvvc[/YOUTUBE]
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] dkp1977:
@Calum

You should really update your initial post. Lots of points there are no longer valid. Like podcast support, trial restrictions etc. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] _calum_:
Still valid at the moment, as soon as 1.6 hits the marketplace I'll update it :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] _calum_:
feed me version 1.6 is now available :) See the first post for details.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] mrbel87:
now is the best app...;)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] dkp1977:
Wait until you get your hands on feed me 2.0 :D This is gonna be amazing.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] _calum_:
A free, ad supported version of feed me is now available. The only restriction compared to the paid version is that the maximum number of feeds for the live tile is 4 instead of 10.

I will lift this resriction in the next release if the ads bring in enough to pay for the server time.
