I am very concerned about the ability to use basic applications on the Xperia's WVGA screen. I love the screen for DVD watching, but will it prevent me from using my favorite applications?
Can someone tell me if these will work:
Slingbox
Log Me In
Skyfire (when available)
Garmin Mobile XT
I know for the Toshiba G900 there is a program called WVGAfix or something that allows you to convert your screen to 640x480, I think.
Any insight into this problem would be helpful!
Thanks
Rick
If you hook me up with some links where i can download the apps, i can try 'em.. got a X1 infront of me..
Can do the same as well if you want. Currently using Opera and it works great. Wish you could use the pad to scroll around like a mouse though.. too bad.
Where are you guys getting your xperia's from, I'd love to get hold of one albeit pre-production.
Thanks
I am sorry, I don't have that software yet. I was going to wait until I got the Xperia.
In any event, can somebody make a program which you run on Xperia that can make all those VGA specific programs work? LIke there wvgafix for Toshiba G900?
EDIT: wrong thread!
Yeah, where do you guys get your X1s from!.

They might be tricking you - maybe they are like the rest of us - we don't have one yet!
Garmin Mobile XT is working without any problems on X1.
I don't think there will be much problems except navigation software.
I have a Toshiba G900 sind a good year with just this 480x800 and all standard software runs fine. AgendaFusion, TCPMP, TotalCommander, WisbarAdvancedDesktop (most important to me), the SBSH-collection, not to forget the great Softmaker Office which is very usefull with the screen -only navigation software is a problem that sometimes work, sometimes not.
Anyone tried Iguidance 4 with this resolution?
bump, we need to update this thread!
Btw, can someone tell me what are the differences between SPB Mobile Shell and SPB Pocket Plus?
is there any differences between SPB MS panel and the original SPB MS app?
Garmin Mobile XT is working just fine on X1, without any problems.
is advanced configuration 3.3 working for X1?
Yeah, advanced configuration 3.3 is working fine on my X1.
New version of Kinoma play is out and it is compatible with X1.

- Slingbox works OK. The video stream doesn't fill the whole screen (even with the aspect ratio set to 'wide'), and the interface buttons are kinda displayed correctly, but seemed to be actually shifted to the left, as when you press the power button for example, it's in reality a few buttons down. It's kinda hard to explain, but it seems like it's not being displayed at the right resolution, even tho all the images files, seem to be made for VGA (at least they're labeled that way).
- LogMeIn looks beautiful on this screen. And there's A LOT less screen scrolling compared to a QVGA screen, obviously. But compared to my old Tilt, it's a pleasure using LMI on this phone.
- Skyfire doesn't work yet, but you probably already knew that. It immediately crashes or closes down as soon as you try to load it. Hopefully, they'll add W/VGA support, because sites also look amazing on Opera.
- I don't use Garmin, but TomTom 7 looks and performs great. It looks as sharp as it should. Don't know if it's really scaling to the full resolution, but it sure looks like it.
Could you Please Post Pictures Of What The SlingPlayer Mobile Client Looks Like

That was my main concern, how the SlingBox would work with the Xperia X1, so that's good news. If possible could you please post a few pictures of how the SlingPlayer mobile client looks on the Xperia X1, thanks in advance....!
The developer of BeyondPod - possibly one of the best podcatcher/RSS readers available - has decided to focus more on the Android platform and less on WinMo. As anyone who has tried to use BeyondPod on any of the 6.5 builds knows, there are a number of issues with the way it renders feeds (missing scroll bars, no text size control, no finger scrolling, etc). Basically the program needs to be updated to support the new version of IE in 6.5.
This would also be an oppurtunity for anyone interested in the future of BeyondPod on WinMo to take over its development. The project is open source, and there are a number of possible improvements that could make this app even better (feed search, apptodate support, homescreen plugin, etc). The dev would be more than happy to have the help.
Couple links here:

Discussion on 6.5 issues
http://beyondpod.codeplex.com/Thread/View.aspx?ThreadId=53878
Anyone interested in tackling this project? Or is there an even better alternative out there for those of us who want to get our podcast on?
No one cares? Or maybe I'm one of the few that do?
Guess I need to teach myself some programming skills . . .
Im using BeyondPod, great podcast software!

You might be using it now, but won't be for long . . . if you upgrade to WM6.5 or many cooked ROMs of WM6.1. That's the point of this thread.

At least write an app for wm 6.5.
Than that will be ok.

Speedreader is no comparison to beyondpod. Beyondpod is the best software i've found by far for managing audio podcasts, multiple auto downloads, intuitive interface and integrated player with great playback and bookmarking features. I'm surprised more people are not aware of this awesome software and if anything out there is close or better I would like to know. I would almost abandon 6.5 just for Beyondpod, but 6.1 scrolling is so terrible that i cant do it. Beyondpod is one piece of software that would actually be worth paying for if it weren't already offered for free.

The name defines, BEYONDPOD.
So yeah, this app is good.
Runs quite well on wm6,5, have to use the Dpad to scroll up and down though.

Was there an update? I have had at least 15 6.5 roms flashed and the content view in beyondpod was not working therefore rendering it useless for downloading. Sometimes you could see content view the first time you brought it up, but it would not refresh if you scrolled and would be blank the next time.
I would be up to adding to a bounty if necessary

Oh, I dont notice this issue, as what you mentioned work perfectly fine, (Surprisingly) on my device.
I will check out and see how it goes.
Cheers.
Hi All,
jeremy89632 is right, if you just use your Dpad then the error doesn't occur. Another option I have found is that if you use the update and download option then that works as well.
I'm a .NET programmer and I think this is written in .NET. Let me take a peek at the source code for a few days and then I'll let you know if it is something I might want to tackle. I do a TON of development work in .NET but nothing on the mobile platform yet - this might be interesting. Plus, I've been looking for a good RSS/podcast reader myself!
/Chimp (Tom)
Tom, Def check it out it rocks for audio podcasts.
I seem to have found a temp workaround, which tells me a solution cannot be far off. When I go into content view and cannot see the content or it is messed up. I just switch my touch pro to landsacpe and the view is fine abd I can use the dpad to scroll. I will ususally just shift right back to landscape and the view remains perfect but dpad wont scroll until I first touch the screen, then it will dpad scroll with no problem. I can click and download feeds with no problem. I reduced the large text size in beyondpod settings. All the podcasts manage and playback fine but the volume is much lower than normal hard to hear even with mediaplayer and system volume at max. Volume in my other apps and mediaplayer is very loud as normal.
It it more complex than I thought. Also, is this only for a SmartPhone? Or is also for a WM Professional device? When I finally got it loaded into VS2008 it only showed a SmartPhone device.
I'll keep playing with it.
Chimp (Tom)
Definitely PPC touchscreens. On 6.1 it was pretty flawless and fairly finger friendly.
Hmm... It is definately showing up as a Smartphone only when I load it. I'll have to figure out how to switch it over to a PPC device (and also support a SmartPhone).
Well, as this app is for the touchscreen users, it is easier to squash bugs for users rather than to create a smartphone version and cause issues.

I downloaded the code, as well... I got it to successfully compile and run in the WM6.5 Pro emulator (with the stated problems). You need to change the target platform to WM 6 Pro.
Like you said, the code is really complex, but I kind of understand why, it's a great program, and I've missed it since I finally got 6.5 on my i910...
I don't have a lot of spare time, but I'll try to tackle this thing...

maybe enabling multi touch is a trivial matter. i seriously doubt that HTC modified all these apps in such short notice. so far i have seen the following apps demonstrate multi touch:
IE
opera mobile
google maps
Igo,
TF3D,
all office aplications
media player
anybody has any idea about that

cool (would be even cooler if you still have it), was that video shot in Gitex or Riyadh?
for multitouch on IE look at this video http://pocketnow.com/tech-news/ie-mobile-supports-multitouch-on-htc-hd2-windows-mobile-65 its probably just a newer software revision than the one in gitex. that was a very nice video btw
oh and i found this interesting answer

PMI'm willing to bet that the multitouch is provided by an HTC service that's integrated with the touch screen driver, and is nothing to do with MS. My Diamonds zoom wheel zooms in in IE, that was an HTC "Innovation".

You must be kidding - I've been using iGo before the iPhone even appeared, and the iPhone version is a rather dumbed down one. I don't know where you can (legally) download it though.

How do you deal with the need to keep the software on the original SD card? I install most of my software on an 8GB card. Switching between the two seems impractical. And from reading the info at the site, it doesn't look like you can transfer their card data to a larger card. Or is there a way to do that which NavNGo would rather not make generally public?
Thanks.

Does this multi touch pinch zoom functionality work while reading Mircosoft Exhange Email?

You can't run a legal copy from anywhere except their card, you can't just copy the data over to another one.

Just noticed that an 8GB card is available, so I'm assuming there's more than 6GB of free space. I could work with that.
I tried to find a functioning demo showing the maps AND offering examples of the voice directions. No luck. Any suggestions?

Hello guys,
I've gotten my hands on an SWF version of this game I quite like and was wondering if there were any solutions for how I can play this game on my HD2?
The game is here: http://www.adamatomic.com/canabalt/
try it with IE or better yet, use skyfire web browser.
Thanks for the advice
I'm worried that might not work because the game requires you to press "x" to jump.
It's probably possible to remap a key, but I was wondering if there was any standalone SWF player for the HD2?
any solutions to playing swf files guys?
i'd also like to know this
Flash Lite Player....
Works fine on my HD2
Hi, I tried Flash Light Player to run version of canabalt (*.swf file that is controled with mouse). It said:
There is an error in the flash content, the flash content will close. Gonna test more games. How is it going for others?
Would be great with a fullscreen flash player that allows you to have onscreen controls and customize them for controls on the keyboard/mouse. Would LOVE that!
so, is there any solution to get Canabalt running on Windows Mobile devices? or do i have to swap my HD2 against an iPhone? ;-)

iPhones don't support flash AT ALL, nor will they ever, due to Apple's policy of not allowing third party programming environments on their (not your) phone.

i agree, it would be a very nice game to play on the hd2, simple control but fun. I've also been thinking about playing swf's, it would certainly make up for the somewhat lacking library of free games for win mobile.
Canabalt won't run as is on your HD2 for two reasons - the controls are strictly keyboard, and touching the screen translates to mouse clicks on flash at the moment (that means you won't be able to control the character).
The second reason is that if there isn't a full standalone flash player (and not just lite), you won't be able to even run the SWF since flash lite only support as2 and Canabalt is as3.
If you hack your own version of canabalt with mouse controls, running it from Skyfire will probably be problematic since I've noticed there's a significant delay between touch and flash receiving the touch. In a game like canabalt that won't be tolerable.
Hi,
Some versions of canabalt work on mouse clicks instead of button presses. I think the one I have here might be the mouse click version, I'm not sure.
I tried playing it on skyfire, but as you say, there is a lag between clicking and jumping. Also, the frame rate is awful.
Here is the click-only version. I don't know how it runs on the HD2 because I don't have mine yet, but here it is.

It doesn't work mate. Not in Opera 10, not in IE, and not using Flash List as a local SWF player.

It's works in any browser on the PC. You can even download the SWF and play it locally (if you have FlashPlayer installed).

It's not mate - it works a treat.
it works. it just takes a copy of your screen from the server (your pc) to the client (your phone), over TCP.
Worked quite slowly for me though.
It also adds your phone as a monitor, so you can extend your desktop onto it like a second monitor. It's a shame it's purely a visual thing, as it would be perfect if you could perform mouse clicks with it. Imagine having a media player on there, as in the video, but being able to control it from your screen!
If it was slow, I'd recommend chaning the frame rate. I had it on 20fps and it worked really smoothly.
I personally see a more relevant use by switching to the phone as server, and then having your phone screen open as a window on your desktop...
