Thanks for the reply :)

The episodes was changed since the first version, I can't disagree that it looks exactly like yours... I'm sorry but logically the grouping should be done that way :( I'll implement a way for users to change the grouping according to other criteria, such as Month, day of week, or others that I could think of. And I'm waiting for Telerik to integrate CheckBox into LongListSelector (such as the one we see on native email client), so I guess in the future that part will change.

The home screen episodes design didn't change at all, I just added a grouping header above the episodes. It was also the original design for "show page" but that was truncated to give users more screen estate. LOL! For the ContextMenu it was a mistake but it was done intentionally, I think you might thought of the same, writing "mark all previous and current episodes as watched" is just way way too long!! My ContextMenu has changed though, no group header specific MenuItem because of memory leaks :(

The current version isn't exactly useful in my own opinion, starting off with thetvdb.com was a big mistake :( Sorry to say this, and sorry to all TVDB enthusiast, they just don't have the proper API and database asides from a full set of posters/banners/wallpapers to choose from. It took so long for the upcoming version because I'm integrating both databases for information. Still I don't know how could you pull information that fast, it was almost instantly! Really really great job!

English is not my native language too :)
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] theoce2n:
@sayonical, the feature you requested (group according to day of week) is in the current version i submitted to marketplace today!

Tombstoning and resuming have been redesigned, it should be much much more smoother now! I even tried it with "Good Morning America" with has 8750 episodes, works fine :)

Data provider has been changed to use tvrage.com as the main provider, and if result couldn't be found thetvdb.com will be used instead. And because of the changes to tvrage.com, everyone now has much much much more shows to choose from, don't believe it? Try it out when it's released :)

SpoilerTV and Twitter is being implemented for the next version, but I'm still looking for a larger database for news feeds :) Do you have any other suggestions?

Notification will be a major feature for the next release too,

And by the way, trailer/preview (video) of episodes is implemented in the submitted version too! :)
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] theoce2n:
Hi, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to do that though, won't I be cross posting then? Or do you mean moving it to App Release thread?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] nick109:
Hey, good work on the latest version

The app still runs fast even with full setting and constantly sorting collection by newest ep

I noticed that the unwatched episodes counts the upcoming ones - I think I should just count the missed ones and ur rest should remain greyed out maybe
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] theoce2n:
Hi, thanks for the feedback nick :) It took so long for me to release this version because of all the little small usability issues and full changes to tvrage.com :) I hope everyone will be happy with this release :)

Hm... interesting, I didn't think of what you suggested, but won't it be a little confusing though? How about like "5 upcoming & 22 unwatched"? I'll see how it fits into the UI and I was thinking changing the color of that on the show page to phone accent color, what do you think?

I don't wanna grey out upcoming episodes though, cos that way it'll look absolutely exactly like rudy's TVShow app.

Hey does your version have a list of number on the right side of the phone? I think I forgot to switch off developer testing mode when I submitted the update, and I just submitted another one for certification.

Good news for everyone, the next release will include basic push notification (live tile update), tv news integration like tv.com, tvguide.com, and spoilertv. Besides that I've found a way to pull trailer off zune.net, so major american shows will now have videos with better quality.

And I'm thinking of integrating zune account with Prime, like your zune card, bought tv series/episodes etc on zune, what do you think?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] sayonical:
Great update!

One my app though a line of numbers is visible vertically that's probably related to the frame rate...anyway to remove that?

The group by days are done nicely. One niptick instead of this sunday can it say Today or Sunday(Today)? The days of the week are done well otherwise

Can the settings be giving its own page not on the panorama? Sort of like how the ebay app has a setting button up in the corner where users can change a setting when needed.

Hi,

looking forward to 1.9, but have 2 requests if possible:

1. a possibility to mark shows as seen directly from the "aired" view

2. a possibility to backup in the app and/or edit the shows online on a webpage

thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] sayonical:
Installed the update: Very nice live tile!

Kinks I noticed...I selected mark all previous epiodes as read for the celebrity apprentice now it shows -12 unwatched episode :confused:

The live tile updated to show modern family was (tommorow) then on the day its suppsoed to show, it updates as "just aired" before the actual time its supposed to air...I missed a show becuase I assumed it aired! :p

The organizer still needs some ironing out i think. I checked order by next epsiode to air and its ordered incorrectly...

Keep up the good work! While I know you and Rudy may have some disagreements I have supported both of you guys becuase you both do good work. Dont be discouraged either of you!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] behh:
can u make a live tile as big as calendar tile for an option ? , those little square tiles doesnt look nice when picture of the show is presented
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] theoce2n:
Hey behh

I'm sorry, developers are not allowed to use rectangular (bigger) live tile, we're only allowed to use regular square tile. That's a Microsoft policy so I'm afraid until they changed their mind it's not possible to take advantage of that.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] sayonical:
Nice update!

I took advantage of the categorize by genre and it classified "Rupaul's Dragrace" as Adult/Porn :eek:

Sorting by next episode to air doesn't quite work for me.

Nice work!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] theoce2n:
Hi Sayonical, thanks. Try to refresh the collection on main page a few times, quit and run the program again and it should do the trick to fix sorting. To refresh, hit the "refresh button" on "main page" (beside "upcoming").

I'm working on the categorizing, you will be able to select category on version 1.11. Also version 1.11 has a few surprise functions, but best of all, performance will improve up to 65%!!!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] behh:
You mean u are not allowed to make rectangular tile or rectangular live tile , im asking because a guy who made touchxperience made bigger tile for that .

Thanks for a nice piece of software :)
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] sayonical:
TouchxExperience would never be approved in the marketplace ;)

Julien is basically doing things his own way for the homebrew scene
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] pencilcase:
sounds awesome :) will 1.11 also fix the un-seen counter? some shows update incorrectly and show "-4" or similar. very annoying. also would you be able to implement a "mark seen" option to the "today's shows? this would save a lot of time in marking them ... or maybe an "unseen episodes" tab where you can do this?

thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] theoce2n:
@behh, sayonical is right, regular developers aren't allowed to do that, but we actually can. Just that all apps that do that won't be approved in Marketplace certification process.

@pencilcase, to fix the watched/unwatched counter, try tapping on the show to get to show page, that should fix the negative number. Yes I'll implement an option on main page (by tap and hold) to mark aired episodes as watched.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] pencilcase:
i noticed that but it makes it hard to scan the list for unseen eps :)
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] theoce2n:
Version 1.11 has been submitted for certification just a moment ago.

New features in 1.11 include:

- 65% faster load and resume time

- Shake to change tile image (paid users only)

- Image gallery for shows

- More screen captures/images for episodes

- Much more stable saving and loading mechanism

- Fail safe mechanism to detect missing shows and automatically re-add them

- Ability to change default genre for show grouping

- Setting menu is moved so users could have more screen real estate for content

- Fixed show missing bug

- Fixed negative unwatched counter
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] sayonical:
Just updated and I must say, this app has been getting better and better. Love that the settings has its own page away from the paranoma. I can now edit the genres so Rupaul is no longer grouped as porn :D

Could the shake feature aslo update the hub photo? I assumed this was the case but only the live tile changed.

Otherwise very smooth, visually appealing and worth the money.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] theoce2n:
Thanks sayonical :) What do you mean by updating hub photo?

Oh and also check out this new artwork!!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] pencilcase:
Love the update, way better now !

Warehouse 13 still has the "-1" counter though, can't seem to get rid of it ?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] theoce2n:
@pencilcase, sorry for the negative unwatched count bug. When you go into the Warehouse 13 show page, it'll recalculate your unwatched episodes and will get fix it.

Due to performance consideration, I didn't include a fix to immediately scan though all shows, cos that'll cost about 1-2 seconds each show :( I've been looking for better data storage besides IsolatedStorage built into Windows Phone. Spent last 2 days moving to third party SQL database but the performance was an absolute nightmare, so I ended up moving back to the default storage :(

Please do report back to me if the going into the show page doesn't fix the unwatched episode counter.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] unconformist:
Hi!

Hi, I bought your great app today! Just two things:

- Can you check a whole season of a TV show? If it's not possible, would you add that feature?

- How are background pics chosen? I follow an anime (Toriko) which has a low-res pic... Looks kinda ugly!

If you need some help to translate in italian, feel free to contact me :)
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] theoce2n:
Hi @unconformist

Thanks a lot for the offer! Yup I will absolutely need your help on Italian transition, can you PM me your twitter/email or any way I can contact you more directly?

I assume by "checking the whole season" you mean "mark the whole season as watched" right? If that's the case, go into the show, swipe to "episodes" section, tap and hold on an episode for 3 seconds, and the menu with option "mark previous as watched" will show up, hit that option and it'll automatically mark the current and all previous episodes as watched.

To illustrate that, look at the picture below :) Have a nice weekend!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] pencilcase:
tried this, also tried marking all previous as shown again but it does not seem to fix the issue.edit: deleting and re-adding the show fixed it though :)

The unwatched counter now does not show at all unless I open the show. So if i want to mark all of yesterday as seen, I need to "know" what shows were on so I can go into the show and then see them update and mark as seen. very annoying :(
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] theoce2n:
Exclusive preview for Prime TV version 1.13

- trakt.tv integration

- twitter integration
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] pencilcase:
will this release include the bugfix for the "unwatched shows not showing at all until clicked" ?

Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] LawofA:
I enjoyed using your app. Great work!!!

You can do double square tiles so that they can be placed side by side. check out 'World weather & World weather 2'

Keep it coming.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] theoce2n:
@pencilcase, I am testing that feature, am pretty sure it'll be in the upcoming version.

@lawofa, thanks a lot for the suggestion! it'll be coming to version 1.14! i never thought of that, so thanks again!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] lomdar:
Any chance we get a ratting feature like in the app "TV Show"? Really missing this together with the abillity to post ratings to Facebook and Twitter...

lomdar

Hint: Also the calendar view in "TV Show" is nice ;-)
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] theoce2n:
Sharing via twitter is a huge YES! Facebook and rating will come later. Calendar view was originally planned but pushed back, it'll also come in 1.14.

If you're wondering why 1.13 is taking so long, it's because I'm implementing almost 50+ new features & improvements to it. Not only you're able to post to twitter, you're also able to see what people thinks about show & episode.

I'm finalizing it so it'll be up on Marketplace soon.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Audio:
Bit of a late comer but just thought I'd say a huge thank you for this app.

I've actually been after a TV Tracker app since WP7 launch back in October, and even took it onto myself to learn Visual Studio to try and put an App together myself. But after buying your app I can clearly see everything i need is already available!

The amount of information you've managed to provide within this app is amazing, and it's speed and fluidity are on par with the Native OS. I have about a dozen or so Shows that I track with the app and it's speed doesn't seem to have decreased whatsoever. It's also incredibly easy to use. What really impresses me is the little things you've thought of such as adjusting the time zones, even for each individual TV Show, so us in the UK don't have to be woke up at 02:45 am by a toast notification saying Dexter is about to start in the US.

Really well done and thanks for such a brilliant App. You've got a well deserved 5 stars in the marketplace.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] spikeymouse:
I bought your app yesterday, it's really great!

just one question: is it possible when you go to a list of episodes to make the listbox jump to the first episode that I haven't seen?

I have a show with 150 episodes that I need to see, everytime I saw one I have to scroll a lot. thx :)
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] theDante:
This app is awesome.. I love aesthetics of the whole app, the UI is very intuitive.

Are the tooltips from Telerik? I can't seem to find anything like them.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] mapleleafs89:
Well done app. I will definitely be purchasing this.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] aussiedog:
This is becoming more and more delightful with each new version. Great work.

I have two suggestions/requests for you to entertain:

1) On your live tile, can you please make the text size smaller for "Prime TV"? Between that and the show listings, it's hard to see the background image and makes the tile look cluttered.

2) On the "News" page, can you please add the accompanying pictures in the story so I don't have to open it up in IE to see them? It's a bit of a pain.

Other than those two areas, I am very happy with your program and am glad that you continue to improve your app and have not abandoned it like other programers seem to do with their apps.

Thanks again.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] buffalosolja42:
Can you make a backup utility?

With all the custom flashing coming up and changing device this is the only feature I need with your app. Having to manually check in some cases 60 per show tracked can get tedious over time.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] BellPego:
I agree that would be great..

BTW my live tile stoped updating and my background service keeps turning itself off... Any ideas? Is it a server thing...? :S

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demonblod:
I don't believe that for a second. Captivate 2.1 Stock loses 15% battery just from cell activity over about 6 hours. And a half hour voice call would suck up about another 30%

That is pretty insane. Are you UC/UVing the crap out of the ROM too? I'm running Precision 3.5 and I get at MOST 28-29 hours a single charge but I'm a moderate to heavy user. Maybe if I was a light user I may squeeze another 5-10 hours i suppose...but nothing like yours...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beny The Kid:
I am going to decond that, since I am a moderate to heavy user as well. However, i would like to put in a good word for DG's Cognition 4.1.1. Battery time is better than most that I have seen.........except in my case (having power issues with my suckerpunch kernel at the moment).

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChillyWilly72:
I have only used a few roms (various versions of cog, percep, androm, paragon and twinger) over the last couple of months and my best so far is twinger. I don't use custom kernals or modems or whatever, as it is uploaded is how I use it. I keep everything enabled and updating, have plenty of widgets and 100+ apps. Heavy/Moderate/Light, not only is it relative I don't waste time worrying about it. The most important thing for me is to use my phone as it was meant to be used without all the fussing over settings and make it through every day no matter the useage and no matter how early or late I get home and the only one to last longer than me has been twinger. I rarely use GPS because no matter what I have used, it sucks, even plum bobs fix, freakin samsuck!

Using Dilligaf's 7.0.1

Stats in screenshots

35% left after over 1 day 7 hours

Still on the replacement battery I got in Sep '10.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeymopar:
Why do people dwell on battery usage? Use the phone lightly and there isn't much usage. Use it more and there's more usage. Have GPS, WiFi, updates, etc running non-stop and it drains even faster.

During the week with fairly low usage, I recharge every night with between 60 to 70% remaining. Then from Fri morning at 700 am until Sun evening at 1100 pm (64 hours) it'll be down around 20% remaining. BECAUSE I rarely use it on weekends, GPS off, auto-rotation off, WiFi off, no texting/email, maybe 1 or 2 phone calls.

Been roughly the same with all three ROMS I've been on (Andromeda, then Di11i's, now Darky's 9.3 Extreme)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QuarkGluonSoup:
Even though it is still beta, I seem to have the best battery life with CM7 and TheEscapist's kernel overclocked to 1.2ghz and UV'ed. Gingerbread should use less battery life than Froyo so maybe this shouldn't be a surprise.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevalin:
60% after 17:25, moderate usage. Cognition 4.1.1 with Speedmod's K13c and KP1. Animated screen saver, gmail synching, a bit more than three hours of onscreen time, including surfing, music player and games.

This is so different from Cog 3.02 and earlier, when I was lucky to squeeze out 16 hours total, and the phone burned 10% of the charge in 5 hours when idle. Now it burns 1-2% when idle, and KP1 seems to burn a bit less battery when I'm actively using the phone than JK4 did. And, oh, yeah: everything works! I couldn't be more pleased.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
You have less than an hour of screen on-time. The screen is the biggest drain on these phones. Still, not bad considering Dilli's is currently last in that battery test in the General forum.:D

I cant seem to get Anything in android that comes close to coreplayer for video performance or codec support. Stuff that was silky in coreplayer on winmo either doesnt play, is jerky or it blocky. I play mainly TV Hd rips and 700-1.4 gig dvd/bray rips (avi, not mkv's)

Anyone have any ideas, solutions for this. tried all the latest and greatest android media players, none seem to cut the mustard.

come back winmo 6.5/coreplayer, all is forgiven.
[Galaxy S II General] MAJED.y:
as i believe the short answer is NO

unless in one case, using CM7.
[Galaxy S II General] AJerman:
Just install a different launcher. Most of the apps they modified are actually pretty nice in their TouchWiz versions, otherwise wait for an AOSP ROM. There are always solutions to problems.
[Galaxy S II General] sindrefyrn:
This is why we have XDA. ;) Someone will bake a vanilla ROM.
[Galaxy S II General] buttes:
The concept of giving us vanilla Android without crapware is actually one that eludes practically every Android phone manufacturer, not just Samsung.
[Galaxy S II General] AJerman:
Yeah, it's kind of annoying in a way, but in a way it's the spirit of Android. Android is open and allows anyone to modify it how they choose. The manufacturers use it as a way to brand the devices in their own way, but it is kind of annoying when their UIs are bloated and slow. Now that we are moving to dual core with more memory, the speed will be less of an issue regardless of the launcher you use, so it will make it better at least. I've never found TouchWiz to be overly offensive, but it certainly isn't the fastest.
[Galaxy S II General] Bernardos70:
I want touchwiz enhancements, are you kidding! Nicer dialer, nice MMS, nice little brightness adjustment shortcut, nicer camera. A gingerbread launcher will help get the phone to look like you want it to, and obviously, custom ROMs will make it feel like gingerbread AOSP.
[Galaxy S II General] AJerman:
That's my opinion. A lot of the TW apps are nice, I just don't like the launcher, so a simple install of LauncherPro and we're ready to go!
