Bug report: Live tile notifications do not work.

Phone: HTC Trophy

Carrier: Verizon

Steps: Pinned tile to start, opened program, settings, checked live tile box, went to home screen. The only thing displayed is the program title and icon. Tested with "My Location" and a dedicated location.

Edit: Never mind, it seems to have fixed itself after 10 minutes or so.

Review: Excellent! Fast for me, and displays all info I desire on the "Current" screen. The app is perfect for me :)

Very rarely happens that some users may see a blank Live Tile with the name of the application only. It means that some problems with hosting where LT service installed. Also don't forget that LT service dependent on the AccuWeather web service which is not 100% uptime.

Don't worry, Live Tile will recover automatically after near 1 hour.

I like the live tile, but I wish it didn't have the last time it refreshed on it, looks a little odd to have a time on there that isn't the current time...

edit: something else I just noticed, if the temp gets to 100 or above, it messes up the formatting of the live tile. For example, instead of (100) under the current temp, it shows (100

Weather4Me WP7 update to the version 2.1

"Weather4Me WP7" has been updated to the version 2.1

What changes?

Usability improvements:

More readable "Current" page

More finger friendly "Favorites" page

Some graphics improvements:

Two additional icon sets are available for users.

Special thanks to Roberto Abril Hidalgo for his excellent "Simple Weather" icons.

Better graphics quality for Live Tile images (see samples in attachment)

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] zard:
Great update once again.

New icon sets - still like the default

Current page - definitely easier to read

Favorite page - seems like fonts are bigger but still difficult to select. Maybe adding some space between locations would help

Live Tile - Looks better and easier to read

Still hoping that you can look into providing hourly temp & weather icon. Current method of navigating to accuweather mobile site and 3 hourly display is troublesome and difficult to use too many steps, so I don't even want to use it.

How hard would it be to add option for metric measures, and can we expect that? Also, live tile update interval should be set to an hour or even 30min.

Application supports both Metric and US units since version 1.0 :)

It selects units automatically according to your system regional formats.

For more details read FAQ published in the initial post or on the app homepage

As for Live Tile I'll implement this variation for time interval (30min, 1hour, 2hour ...)

in the special app version for Mango OS, using specific Mango features.

Nice update, especially for Favorites page and Tap_And_Hold. Live Tile works fine, and time synced is great (not sure if this was already around previously).

3 suggestions:

1. Page for Hourly forecast in app or even better on 2nd tile (I know you had responded that I could get it from Accuweather but I much prefer it within the app)

2. 2nd tile that you can show 2nd location or 5 day forecast or hourly data

3. Multi-tile to show multiple weather locations

Thanks for your detailed feedback.

1. Unfortunately hourly data is not available directly for my free developer account. Currently it is available from the AccuWeather page (double_tap on one of the app page). AccuWeather fully redesign their site, it looks more finger friendly and more adopted to WP7. Try it now.

2. This feature will be available in the special app version designed for Mango.

3. I know, many applications show Live Tiles for different cities, but I'm not sure that this info may be useful in real life. App usability has the highest priority in my development.

I figured with the Webtop-over-HDMI hack now up and running, why not try to get a console controller, other than the WiiRemote, working to play games on Android. Full screen PS emulator with a side of PS3 controller would be nice via Webtop.

As I've been reading, I keep hearing that that Android doesn't have a kernel to support BT pairing.

What do you guys think?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WarningSLO:
As far as pairing, it is possible. There is an app called BlueputDroid that is in early beta stages, but it works. It works as a touchpad/keyboard for the PS3.

I have read the same thing in regards to the bt stack not being compatible but I don't believe it. It would be great to control my ps3 dvd playback from my phone.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJ_smooth:
I think the original poster wanted the opposite of what you guys are replying about... he wants to use his bluetooth PS3 controller as a gaming controller to control games running on his Atrix.

Don't know if what you guys want is possible but I would think that would be a lot easier through a network interface than bluetooth... have you explored the DLNA tools? You should in theory be able to control the PS3 through DLNA commands.

Sorry for the threadjack.

This is correct. I work a desk job and emulators on my phone are what keep me from losing my mind. A PS3 controller is a preference, but a controller that works will suffice.

good luck finding one though, I had to import mine for like 40 bucks from codemasters, but that was a while ago.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h8rift:
The problem is not the kernel or BT stack.

Someone has to decrypt what the codes are that are sent on button press into an input method. (See WiiMote Controller apk for an example). On top of that, the app requires the ability to pull the pairing code from the ps3 controller and pair it using the existing BT stack.

But no one has created such an app at this time.

Once full-blown webtop linux (or at least repo access), the desktop pairing app can be used while in webtop mode (if such an app exists).

If based off linux or similar then I could give out a go. If not, then I can't help. Lastly, can someone link me to a ps3 os dump (or whatever it's called).
