Hi guys,
I have to open a new thread as the previous thread is getting too long ...
We've included your all suggestions possible in new version of Mobile Online TVx.
Who have already Online TVx installed on their mobile phones, can install the new version over the previous (without registration).
Other forum members, who like Online TVx can use discount coupon: FORXDA
Great app especially with the new features.
However If I go to a new channel after watching 1 channel I always get the message "the server is busy or not responding. try again later.."
this happens both on 3G and Wifi
If i reset my device I can watch that channel.. i have a touch pro with Energy 6.5 sense 2.5 on it.
Also Is it possible to add a bit more sport channels like eurosport (with soccer and tour de France coming up?)
Thanks

Hi Fishie,
I've submitted the channels I'd like to see in the next update at: http://www.onlinetvx.com/newchannel.html
Hope, they'll add those next time. You also can stick with that, hope it will help
Will I have to re-register after I flash a new ROM?
If you guys still need testers, I can help out with that. I use my phone everywhere I go.
HTC Fuze running Energy rom-Cookie Sense 23569.

Did you see that part of the first post where he said you could get a discount if you used the code posted? You might actually want to re-read the first post. Here's a hint: they aren't giving away a 1000 free keys. Apparently, they'd like to make a little money with the app at some point.
I'd be interested in this, but for whatever reason it doesn't work for me. The application launches, but I can only get a video feed on a very few channels. Most of the channels it is able to locate the feed it'll say "Playing" but I just have a black screen in the video frame.
I assume this is probably an issue with my phone (HTC Touch Pro, Sprint's standard ROM) and Windows Media. I tried finding a cab where I can reinstall Windows Media for the streaming but I've had zero luck there. Given time it will come up with a failure message from Windows Media, so I know the player is the breaking point. But when I run Windows Media on its own I have no problems.
If I could get this working I'd snap it up with the generous discount you're giving in an instant, but as it stands the application is of no use to me.
Anyone else having this issue and any ideas on what can be done to correct it?
Edit: Resolved! Found in Windows Media that it was set to autodetect my connection speed and was stuck on 33kbs. Took off autodetect, set to fastest speed, and viola, I'm working. True to my word, I've purchased the software. Thanks for offering such a great discount to XDA

Hey bro this app is great i just bought it disappointed to see that there are no anime channels tho is there any way to add some in?
thx for discount
Hi all
I've been a member of XDA for a while (have a hero and been on the villanrom builds since they began). But I am a developer full time and so I have decided to start in Windows Phone 7. I know silverlight, I know .NET so why not.
I have started the company 'Infinite Monkey Theorem' and this is a showing of the first application.
auto-mate. This app allows you to record your cars stats at each fuel up and service to allow you to view statistics about your cars. This app will also allow you to setup service types (months or miles) and the app will schedule them for you taking into account your mileage per year. MOT and Tax renewals are stored and show when they are close.
The reason for this app is this: I drive 24,000 miles / year which means that I need to maintain the car more than just a yearly service, this app will tell me when I need to change my oil or have a minor/major service based upon the miles I drive per year and the miles I'm doing recently allowing me to budget for it accordingly.
This app syncs to the cloud so you can look over all the cars you are monitoring from your office and export the information or book a service.
This app is in beta at the moment, it is not feature complete as I need you to be able to say you have done your MOT or Tax but its almost there. Of course with it syncing to the cloud there is a cost, that I MUST pass on somehow. I looked into Ads but Microsoft in thier wisdom only allow thier ad framework in america so Im out (UK). But I'm thinking of a free version that has ads (in future) and does not sync to cloud. Thoughts on what you would/might pay for this app would be greatly appreciated.
The future of the app?
Well I am planning a pro version which is for business mileage and will export from the web site allowing business travellers to fill out expense forms. But there are lots to add to this app as well.
Take a look at the vid and let me know what you think.

Njoy.
id add light comercial vans upto 3.5tonnes as many courier use wm devices so many will upgrade to wp7
Love it and it looks superb. I dont know what you can and cannot do in regards to apps interacting with other features of the phone. But the option to put a reminder in the calendar or a pop up one month before the tax is due or service is due etc I think would be really beneficial (liked I said not sure if MS will let you do that though)
The only other thing I can think of is a field it enter a monetary value for the top up. So you put 44.66 litres in and it cost £70 for instance. You could maybe track this in the same way the MPG are, but as a Pence, or cent etc per mile.
In regards to price, there are alot of apps/games I have seen for say £2.99 that I refuse to pay for (bejwelled for one) but this I would pay for. Im not sure what price you were expecting but Id happily pay £2.99 for it which seems the average.
I know you have spoke about the cloud but is it possible to export the information to PDF or excel etc and then have the users email this to themselves, this would cut your costs but again I dont know whats allowed
Good Luck and I look forward to this being released.
4 or 5 euro isn't a bad prize .
if you could put in lpg and diesel blend (trucks that run on diesel and lpg ) then this app would be the hammer .
it would also be nice if you could ad your own car/truck .
lets say I have a scania R420 and I am driving on diesel and lpg , I would want to know if I am saving money .
normally a truck uses 32 litre of diesel every 100 KM
now it uses 22 litre of diesel and 10 litre of LPG
Diesel: costs 1 Euro
LPG: costs 0.50 Euro
it would be nice if your app could calculate my savings per 100 KM .
if you could make that happen you would have a winner .
Greetings Cees.
looks great! i would be willing to pay $5-7 for it without adds. I would also be willing to beta test for you as i am picking up a samsung focus on monday.
Keep up the good work, hopefully we will see this app in the market soon!
App showing in other games on my phone
I bought the app yesterday and couldn't find it. Today I noticed in other games. Should I uninstall and resync? I pinned to start for now.
thanks for what looks like a good app. Have another question. I have a csv file exported from a program I was using on my iphone. Any way of exporting or manually entering almost two years of data online vs the phone? You also mention website. Was is the url so I can check it out.
Thanks,
Johnny
Looks like a decent app but it also shows up in other gas for me
Thanks for comments
Hi all
Thanks for the comments, aint been on here in a while. Dont know why its showing in the games section, I've downloaded the trial and it shows in the normal menu, have purchase it and try it that way.
Answers:
1) Cost of fueling up will be coming in an update (not long)
2) Putting final touches to website then its live. it will be at www.infinitemonkeytheorem.co.uk You will be able to do everything you can do on the phone but see more information and view multiple car details over each other
3) Had to do some changes to the app to see the charts better, this is coming real soon.
4) will be adding fuel type soon.

You could try uninstaling and resyncing, as its all stored online you just re log back in.

One idea I have going is that as the data is stored online, I should be able to send a message to the phone when a service / mot /tax is due and the pic will go amber and show a 1.
The thing i'm working on right now is auto-mate (offline edition). The basic functionality of keeping track of your vehicle, store when your tax/mot is, and it will schedule the services for you, but all offline. becuase of the zero cost to me, it will be priced low. thinking £0.75...
Hope to have that out in a week.
Just checked and microsoft has put it under games, when I specifically said Tools and it was under tools originally.???
Nice one microsoft.
I could e-mail microsoft to change this but I'll just do an update which will fix it. Sorry for it being in the wrong place, not my fault.
Glad to hear. I just tried uninstall and reinstall and it didn't work. I hope I can enter my 2 years of data easily on the website. Can't see doing that on the phone. I could just get a new car and start over Those new 5.0 mustangs are nice. Add sync and I would be a happy camper
Prepare to be one happy camper, now im not saying now, im not saying in 1 week but excel import/export is always a step in the process
Just to let you know, an update was sent to microsoft over the weekend. This update will put the app back in the apps list. Include better charting, bug fixes. And ability to send error reports on some errors if they happen
Thanks for the update. Finally moved from under Games. When will the web site be up? I still haven't entered my previous data. Have been hoping to do it online and sync to phone.
Its in alpha now.... Beta next then live.
I just realized after putting in my second entry that I can't enter how much per tank or price per gallon. Any chance you will be adding this?
Yes, this is coming in an update.
Clicking on the historical button for miles/week shows the graph for MPG?
Also, whenever I enable the live tile, save the settings. The marker always goes back to disabled?
I am not sure if there is an existing thread similar to this. If there is, please feel free to remove this one.
I thought it would be nice for members to share the Apps that they are using and review them. I would start off with the ones I'm sporting in my device.

Full House Poker
Need For Speed: Undercover
Pocket God (I did not like this game very kiddish)

i also play harbor master(2.99$ i think?)/ilomilo(kind of challenging, not free)/shuriken ninja(free)
how are you liking fruit ninja? i hate it on my HD7. it's just not as smooth as on my ipod touch/iphones!!
When i click HTC HUB there is 3 apps below it under the big clock.

Please answer each of these and let me knoe wither these are available and in details please for wp7 MARKETPLACE.

IM+ ? an app where it contains yahoomessenger, MSN messenger so that i can log into one of them and stay intouch with my fellow friends.
Google Earth? Obviously we all know what this one is. So wp7 has it?
Hairstyles ? A Great app to style your hair either your male and female.. with hundreds of hairstyles to see how you would look like in real life with long and short and style hairstyles. Remember no cartoonist look hairstyles.
So does WP7 offer all of these apps too? or could it be under a similar name perhaps ? help me find out and let us know exactly the name so i can type it in the app store. All of these apps are what i enjoy in the apple store apps.
I would be so disapointed if wp7 doesnt even offer any of that. I wonder why.
By the way as i add more and more apps on my phone just where all the apps are.... it builds up alot and i have to scroll all the way down and down to find the app i want to use.... i wish this phone HTC HD7 would have them sorted in small icons just like iphone so i dont have to scroll one line all the way down to find it.
thanks love
best regards
@ SandraX2020
Looks like you already own a HD7 from two posts above. So why don't you check yourself if the listed Apps are available in the Market place.
I did not hear/see most of the apps you listed. But I'm sure MS will catch up soon enough. iPhone and Apple and the developers had 4 years to have the number of apps they have now in the market place.
Where as in less than 7 months, WP7 has over 17,000 apps. I'm sure in no time we would have all of them if not more. So, tight until then.

I can not simply believe enough how all of the apps names ive meantion obove this in this colon list and yet you say there is 15,000 apps on the qp7 and non of the apps ive meantion are not available or doesnt exsist on wp7 between the 15,000 apps thats available there.
These apps are on itunes and on android. I can not imagine more how wp7 doesnt have these apps at all. Sounds like wp7 15,000 apps are more useless apps and basic apps and nothing more then lots of apps design for other countrys. Most of the apps you find will be useless to use it in other countries....
I give you an example. you find lots of apps in relation to the the train metros... your not seriously going to download on of these if your living in a country nwith no train stations around your state. Then again all the 15,000 apps may as well be just useless apps. 80% from all i can see.
I just cant believe all the name apps ive meantion are not available. Considering there is 15,000 apps.
Then whats all this 15,000 apps? doesnt look like there is really 15,000 apps.
When i click SOCIAL i keep on scrolling it down and down and down i go.... and the further you go down and down as you scroll the page there is just 80% useless apps and not very interesting or no one using it to beging with.
But if you keep scrolling and look at all the scroll you did on the SOCIAL apps areas it sure doesnt look there isnt enough.. looks like there was only just 200 apps in there.. Yet interesting 15,000 apps on wp7 all of its content ? interesting.
Anyways WP7 marketplace should wake up and do something decent. It is lacking. I heard friends where i do go to california that wp7 is slowly dyeing from all they are concern about. And wont be popular until 3 years time.

You say there is 15,000 apps on wp7 ? And yet all of the 8 or 10 apps ive meantions are not available on wp7 ? well that is odd because you would think 15,000 apps would be value apps to beging with. And after all of the 10 apps ive meantion obove are available on itunes and android.
Then again im starting to notice and realise all of the most 15,000 apps available on wp7 marketplace is useless. Well not useless but what i meant was that most of them are not really design to help you with things because most of these apps are like for other countries or local other countries needs.. like for example india radio... or canadian radio or stuff for thier locals.
Surely in my state we dont really listern to indian channels or canadian channels or thier local tram timetable apps... well wp7 is like that really.
It is a shame because 15,000 and counting is just crab apps most of it.
I also notice as i browse quite alot.. that there isn';t much ratings on apps and most ratings are on the top list apps... but if you keep on browing down and down the apps page... no one really have rated anything on all apps. only just the most important stuff that are more value that is rated.
Again there is 1.6 million users around the world who just brought an HTC HD7 cellphone. And yet you would have thought 1.6 million users would half of them all would of rate lots of apps to beging with ?
Then i did some analys and notice that 80% of all these people in the 1.6 million users who now own a htc hd7 was that everyone was mainly downloading the GAME store and that everyone was more focus on the GAME section game then anything other then just games on the Xbox game area.
I am not a game person but i used to when i was in my 20s. Know days what i like it good intertainment and intersting apps.
Believe it or not i downloaded 3 apps and in just 3 days later ive deleted it because one of them was a social chat and no one is in it... the second app was find me on wp7 around the globe and notice in my state no one is using this app... So it is a pain killer till its dorm.
So WP7 been out aproximate 7 or so months now. And allready owns 15,000 apps and continuing.
Yet like i said in my experience of using the marketplace is that 80% of it all is crab apps because most of the apps are only more related to a specified country like singapore tram app... or the local tv guide in china.. But these things are useless in other countries. And most apps are like that.
I also notice 60% of the most apps ive encounterd and looked t are quite boring and theres nothing interesting or nice with its graphics... because most of it is just basic writen words and nothing. Its like reading a book with nothing to make it stand out.
So why is wp7 marketplace so bad ? I spoken to my old fellow friends in New orleans and they told me you shoudn't have gone with wp7 because wp7 is dying down.
Mainly wp7 phones are mainly design if you only care about just games
And that its not like what you think as in android or itunes
So to finish it up i say wp7 is crab and bad and nothing excitement out of it.
Know i am thinking of soon to buy a tablet 10.1 screen with built in android. However installing android on the htc hd7 will be not so good if you ever try to uninstall something importnantly.
Itys interesting how itunes and android has all the apps im more interesting. Yet wp7 there is upsolutely no apps that i like which seems strange. Only the app i own is the world radio live. But the rest is again useless. So why with 15,000 and counting apps on wp7 marketplace doesnt have the apps ive named as meantion obove ? which is odd.
I bet all the apps in there wp7 is crab. or at least 80% of it is useless and again apps cost alot on there too
What it is more interesting is the games that wp7 offers... just the games... nothing els.
Not everyone is into games. Think about it.
Sandrax, are you able to stay on topic in one thread without that someone report me? Eh?

So to finish it up i say wp7 is crab and bad and nothing excitement out of it.
Know i am thinking of soon to buy a tablet 10.1 screen with built in android. However installing android on the htc hd7 will be not so good if you ever try to uninstall something importnantly.
Itys interesting how itunes and android has all the apps im more interesting. Yet wp7 there is upsolutely no apps that i like which seems strange. Only the app i own is the world radio live. But the rest is again useless. So why with 15,000 and counting apps on wp7 marketplace doesnt have the apps ive named as meantion obove ? which is odd.
I bet all the apps in there wp7 is crab. or at least 80% of it is useless and again apps cost alot on there too
What it is more interesting is the games that wp7 offers... just the games... nothing els.
Not everyone is into games. Think about it.

Sounds like a flaming fanboy to me... If you dont like WP7 the DONT BUY WP7... It is as simple as that...
Well, I have to agree... At the moment WP7 is simply not the best choice unless you are a gamer. Games are awesome under WP7 thanks to XBOX Live. With android you have a bunch of free useful apps as well as great paid apps and is a growing platform with a huge future in the smartphone & tablet market with Android 3. Now with iOS, you have a bunch of slave apps hanging around iTunes and a phone with no battery to swap and no SD slot. Just telling the truth, don't get me wrong. I have a Jailbroken iPhone 3GS, an HTC HD7 chevron unlocked and a rooted HTC Inspire 4G with mike's 1986 Revolution ROM. So I have all 3 OS and in my opinion, Android is by far the best, Apple in 2nd place, and in a distant, very distant 3rd place is WP7. And again I have not one but 2 HD2 (both with custom roms) and was the owner of the HTC Tilt 1 & 2. So I am also a huge fan of windows mobile 6.x. etc... but reality is reality. And WP7 is at this precise moment still in pampers. Hope the mango update really delivers not some but many new features like multitasking as well as many others. (Hotspot, usb tethering) Flash should be priority one too, so at least they have something that iOS still don't have. Anyway, isn't this a post about new homebrew apps for WP7? LOL... take care everyone!

Agreed, make sure the youtube links work. As they say, A picture is worth a thousand words so a video must be worth a million.
I use that site to check out achivements after I beat a story, There is always a video to show the easiest way to get it.
I got the video link to work in the application bar. So it will open the YouTube page of the video. I'm looking how to just implement the video to have no need to open the page and just watch the video. But with my programming knowledge, who know how long it will take.

Is it beta worthy ? I would love to check it out even it works partly. I found myself last night on trueachivements and xbox360achievements for about 2-3 hours to get another 175 achivement points
And yes, I have been addicted to achievements all of a sudden...
I look forward to this one...
I haven't released, because I'm only have Max Payne 3 and GOW1 implemented. If you want m to add a game that you working on right now, let me know via pm and I will add it and give you the app for now.

Games that I would want for at least for next month or so...
-Spec Ops: THe Line
-MW3
-MW2
-Black Ops
-Need for Speed Hot Pursit
-Enslaved: Odyssey to the West (yea, I know, older game)
-Forsa 4
These are the games in my current stack, last night, another 115 points on MW3 and Started BLOPS on Veteran for the achievements, Spec Ops should be here today, so that will be tonights game. And most Wp7 games...
For the last week, I have had a Mini Laptop (one of those netbooks) with me when I play, on one of the sites to go through each achievement one by one...
Do you have to do each game, or are you pulling data, so you can access their index ? What would really be cool, is if you can use trueachievements.com, as they pull your data from xbox live and will show each achievement you got and what ones you missed with tips and videos for each game.

XAP Beta added to the first post.
I know your new at programming, I have been trying to learn too, I want to get there (got any advice ?). It would be great if you could find a way to index these sites and pull down the data directly from the xbox360achievements so you dont have to update it for every game.
The app looks good so far, just dont you, in time, getting board with it and not updating it (did not mean any offiense, life gets in the way), it also would make it easier, as you could update the app and not have to worry about adding every game, one by one...
I know what you mean, im just don't know how to do it at the moment. I'm trying to look how to do it but keep failing to find out. If anyone here can give me an advice it would be nice. Atleats what the process to learn.

A little practice, Try to find out what type of fourms they use there and then see if there is a way you can use that. Anyone who does a plugin of that type is based off the type of fourm they use.
And when it comes to computers, your always learning...
I'm on Vacation for a week, so no new apps (or achievements !!)for me..
I think im going to have to stop this project, because I can't get no permission to use the info from the website I used.

It's too bad. I used it and tried to give it a shot but, with out the updated posts and content from the sites (with only one video), I found myself still sitting infront of my TV with a laptop to help get those achievements.
If you got permission from the websites and could index the posts with the links to the videos for each achievement, this would be great but, with out that it does not help too much and puts a high level of work for you.
Great idea though...good luck. I wish it worked out, I really do as this is something I would use....
Hello guys & gals !
I just ordered this wonder, as it was stocked by ThePhoneHouse today.
Shipment is expected within 48 hours, but I can wait until next Friday I guess.
Anyway...I come from the Apple world, owning a 4S. So would you guys be kind and advise me on what I should and shouldnt install on the One ?
For example, must have apps that aren't preinstalled and that should absolutely be present.
I don't know much about Android, I already have a nexus 7 but I use it with very few programs installed (kindle, tunein radio, etc)
LookIng forward to read your suggestions.
Also I will answer any question you might have on this phone as soon as I receive it.

There's a section for this here for apps and here for games.
Depends really on how you want to use your phone but for me here's a list of what I recommend.
1. Adobe Photoshop touch for phones
2. ES File Explorer
3. MX Video Player
4. GSAM Battery
5. Equalizer
6. Android Tuner
7. Autodesk SketchBook Mobile
8. Power Toggles
9. Smart Tools
10. GPS Test Plus
11. Neo Reader
12. CoolReader
13. Avast Mobile Security(Not for the anti virus thingy but for your phone security)
And like I said these are my top 10 used Applications on a android phone. Depending on your usage you might find the others as bloatware.
