Hi all,
I recieved my new touch diamond today (really impressive exept for the battery)
Anyway, I wanted to add an album to the existing ones. The thing is that now, I can't brows threw the albums (iphone way). I have to enter in the library and choose an album. If I scroll up and down, it changes the tracks and does not switch between the albums.
Any ideas to get the iphone like browser back?
Thanks
Mine is the same way. Only i had some songs on the internal storage, then i updated to 1.37. Now it shows those songs in the flip, like ipod, but others i add do not show up. I have to go into library to see them.
I have the same thing. Never figured it out! I think it may only function like that if All Songs are selected and Shuffle is on.
But even that only seems to work occasionally...
I have the same. The touch flow player is just complete disfunctional crap. Dont even bother trying to get it to work because it wont. Your either one of those people which get it working straight away or one that wont ever get it to work. Its useless. Use mediaplayer instead, atleast that works. Its better too as it actually has a volume slider which the touchflow player doesnt which is annoing because that way you have to change your volume all the time and change it back again which I think is way to much trouble.
I agree. I've given up on it and have forked out for Pocket Player 3.
Audiobooster also leaves me with no bass so I can't use that anymore.
It's a real shame HTC have messed thing up so badly as I really liked the old AudioManager player.
Luckily the Diamond battery doesn't last long enough for me to get that pissed off with its functionality!
there's a wide misconception that the phone flicks through like iphone cover flow. it doesn't. what it does is flick through your current album selection or playlist. when we got the phone it looked like cover flow because there were a selection of tracks in one initial list all with different art.

This is not a bug, so why fix it ?
This is just browsing thru your "Playing Now" in stead of browsing thru an album.
If you want functionality like an iPhone, by an iPhone

what no way i'll stick with this functionality. The thing i that they sold it as an album browser (just read all the pre tests) and it would be easyer if it was in fact an album browser, keeping you from having to entre the library each time.
I have to agree, it was definitely positioned as if it performed like cover flow. In no videos or presentations I've seen does it say "look you can see the cover art" - which is essentially all we're getting unless you play all (and then all your tracks are in alpha order and not album or artist order).
Essentially it works but it was a bit naughty of HTC to position it as something it clearly is not.
I can live with it - a bigger issue for me is that my fave photo album never sticks!
In the user guide P68, they say that you can brows threw albums or songs...
And they would be right, you click library first and.... browse through albums or songs. There is no mechanic in the touch-flow music in order to browse albums by flicking and then it showing you the list of songs for that album. I'm sure it's possible but it hasn't been coded in that way.
Hi, and sorry for my english
I put some music albums on my HTC Diamond.
I don't understand how to scroll albums in touch flow.
If the actual album has 15 songs, I have to scroll 15 times to go to the next album !
Is it normal ?
Why they don't do something like :
Vertical scroll = Change album
Horizontal scoll = Change song
Thanks for your reply
because its HTC!
I know, it makes me sick to my stomach to see how slick the iPhone coverflo thing works when picking albums. Theres no reason at all why this cannot be pulled off with the Diamond.

True, could have been easier but you can still select a certain album when you press 'library' and go to albums there.
I'm glad it wasn't only me
It seems that once you have drilled down to track level, you can't go back 'up' to album view again in the main window - surely this was a mistake on behalf on HTC? left out a bit of code?
Double tap to change to next album
I found that if I double-tap (quickly) the up or down arrow it will change to the next album.
Some albums have a lot of songs and it doesn't always change to the next/previous album, but often it works.
My new problem is that sometimes when I open up the Music I don't see the other albums in the graphic windows - it only shows 1 album (square image) instead of the multiple album pics (titled image).
this is an item soooo much discussed..
I don't understand HTC doesn't do anything to make it work...
Do they follow this forum? anyone knows?

Mmmm I know so much more but what do you mean with this post.
I use HTC Streaming Media to view Orange World's TV channels. It works fine, except for fullscreen. When I enter fullscreen mode, the video stays the same size, but is surrounded by a black border that takes up the rest of the screen.
Any help would be welcome!
PS: I already googled and searched, but if you know the answer has already been posted, please give me a link to follow!
Hi ryujakk,
Please check the preferences or options of "HTC Streaming Media". Check the video size option. If the video size is set to fixed, change it. Many times, there is always problem with video option.
Hope, my post will help you.
So I've read up and tried out a bunch of different comic viewers on the Nook Color, but was wondering what everyone else is using on XDA.
I'm also curious how you read your comics. Do you keep it zoomed in and scroll across and down to read the panels, or do you fit to the page and read the tiny text? Anyone have any solutions to make reading comics easier?
That's one thing I really enjoyed about my iPad....full screen comics with no small text. I would love to replicate that experience on my nook.
Thanks ahead of time, guys!
Perfect viewer, full page unless its a two page layout, then its zoomed by height
Do you have any issues reading the text when it's full page? Maybe I'm just getting old. hahah
i have used acv and perfect viewer. not sure which one i like more. i dont read comics that much.
I typically read em full screen with no issue, 7 inches seems huge after getting used to my 4 inch phone screen. If something is double screen I just rotate my nook and continue.
I use perfect viewer, It has quick page loads, smooth transitions (if you enable them) and around 11 hotspots on the screen that can be customized to make navigation quick and easy. I used to use ACV but when i rotated to landscape the app confined the image to a frame of 600 px wide. They may have fixed it now but it is too late.
The only thing that is not ideal is that the nook screen is widescreen, better for tv shows movies and other video, and comic pages are typically fatter than that so they require black bars at the top and bottom.
I've used ACV - it works very well for me.
For other apps, I'm not fond of the Ave!Comics viewer - but Comixology works pretty well and Graphic.ly isn't bad.
while i dont read comics, there's two apps i have installed that work great. Comics and Vintage Comics.

I 2nd perfect viewer app. I've had compatibility issues with acv and other comic readers reading cbr format, perfect viewer has worked best for me. the controls feel good and you can zoom in/out and fit page to screen etc.
Running Honeycomb off the SDcard and I had problems with ACV being slow and having Force-Closes.
I found Perfect viewer, and it's name is spot on! It is FAST and clear. I changed the default settings so two page layouts auto-split and I just toggle back and forth between the pages as needed. The zoned touch locations threw me off at first, but as with anything, once you learn the interface, it becomes second nature.
+1 for Perfect Viewer

What he said!
I use manga watcher and am very satisfied. On a nook size screen I prefer landscape mode and just scroll down the page as I read the panels. Manga watcher does everything I need and has big free libraries that come with it. Of course you can side load comics off the SD also if you want to.

Perfect Viewer +1
I've always used ACV, not too many problems anymore. It used to have the memory issues so I switched to Perfect Viewer, but I hate having to touch one point on the screen instead of flipping through like pages. (I dunno if this has changed.)
I would also recommend Manga Watcher, haven't tried comics on it, but for easily downloadable (free!) mangas, it's awesome.
I've installed Perfect Viewer on my rooted NC (cm7 on sd-card) but can't access the menu! What button should I hit to get to the menu?
Please help!)
and where do buy the comics from or where do you download them.>?
I love perfect viewer. Works well for me. I like the option to use the volume buttons to turn pages. The full screen view is perfectly fine for me. Text doesn't seem small to me.
I use ACV, but most of my cbr would crash and get error. jjcomics viewer seems to do better. The size is readable unless it is a two page, then I have to zoom in. I think jjcomics viewer you can set it to automatically cut it in half to only show one page each.
But the best thing to prevent the crashing and errors is just convert all of your files to cbz format. I use Jomic to batch convert on my mac. I don't know which program works best for PC but I know there are a lot of them

i dont know where you would legally get comics in cbr/cbz format as I doubt any comics distribution would want to sell it in this format. CBR /CBZ are essentially just rar or zip files of pictures. They probably want some kind of protection on it or have some proprietary software to view them. But I know Marvel has an app on the iphone/ipad and chrome browser that you can use to buy comics and read them. Other than that, the usual suspects for cbr/cbz- torrents, rapidshare, megaupload, etc.

I don't have this app, but as with all apps on nook color - make sure softkey is running to be able to access the back and menu buttons. If you press the softkey circle (somewhere on your screen) the soft menu button should show up on the screen. This should bring up a menu if the app has one. If you are running CM7, you might not need to run softkey as it might be integrated already in there? If you dont have it, I think it's in the app store
I use perfect viewer also. But one problem I have is when I finish one comic and go to open another for some reason it just keeps returning to the one I just read. Anyone have any idea why it would do that?
