Hey all, I was wondering how the media share plays out with the Bionic.
I have a friend who is very interested in that feature of the phone (as well as myself)
Anyone have any feed back on it, more specifically speed and reliability of this feature, thank you.

It's called ZumoCast, and it's sick. Easy to setup, and you can access anything on your computer. I highly recommend it. I use it to stream my entire music library and view my pictures - without having to store any on my memory card.
It works good, but when I try to skip more than 1 track in a row, it hangs and force closes on me. Does that happen to anyone else? Other than that though, it's great for getting files quickly. I use it to share programs and games from my computer and just get them when I need it.
zumocast is awesome but i also have issues with fc. and does not support alot of video formats or subtitles.

Is there any way that at least music, Like Slacker or Music Player, can work in the background? I know that's what "not able to multitask" is, but this is a BIG downer for me. I like having Slacker or Pandora (HD2) running all day with my headphones in, but still be able to perform basic functions on the phone,
No unfortunately not at the moment. It will play with the phone background off but that is it. If you have to go to another program and then hit back it will resume/stream again.
Zune obviously plays in the background but so far not another player. I wonder when pandora will finally release the WP7.

I loved Pandora. But I would take any music program that would play in the background while still being able to text/surf the web like I used to on the HD2.
Small drawbacks to getting a brand spankin' new software. Gotta wait for these small things to hopefully change.
zune natively.does.that right now. I love zune and how on this phone its awesome. Signed up for a year pass. Can't beat it. Unlimited streaming of any song they have and 10 songs to keep forever is great.
Try zune if you are looking for a music player that will play while surfing, emailing etc.

Thanks for the advice. I was looking more into a free way of doing it like Pandora or Slacker, FM Radio ect (well as far as not pay for a membership to like Zune ect) I'd pay for an app.
Guess time will tell on what there chef's can do for the new windows...
I use Zune without a pass and I have transferred all my music and download all my podcasts and everything works a teat
CD (UK)
Yea, it's good for once you get your music on it, but I don't have a computer that I can use Zune. All my music is at work and i opnly have iTiunes, on a MAC, and can not download any programs.

I'm sure I read MS have loosened the controls on running apps in the background as long as it meets certain targets on battery usage, so it really depends if winmo gets enough mindshare for pandora etc to make an app for it
Yeh they did, I remember reading that spotify said they are making an app for WP7 and that it will run in the background
That would be reat. Sounds like they didn't allow it due to they didn't want the phone to run slow, and the performance going back to them? I'd rather my phone run a little slow to be able to at least multitask so music frm a free program such (slaker, pandora ect) can run in the background than hnave a super fast phone that i can only use one program at a time. For now, I'd be happy with just music running in the background. But I'm sure some apps could make use of this as well.
Wasn't this an iPhone problem at first (or current) too? Not the music, but multitasking in general?
I understand and appreciate the rationale behind the lack of multitask support for third-party apps in WP7, but I have already encountered two major inconvenient situations caused by it.
1. I can't run Messenger (which sucks for now) and browse the web or play games at the same time.
2. I'm playing a game half way, and I receive a text message. If I want to read and reply to the message, I'll have to reload the game all over again.
I do not know when or if Microsoft would support multitasking in an update, but I sure hope it will be soon. WP7 is such a sweet platform as far as development is concerned, yet the lack of third-party multitask support could be a dealbreaker for me.
Droid Life has posted the .apk for the upcoming Honeycomb (Android 3.0) Music player. I have tested it on the G-Tablet (running TNT Lite 3.12) and on my Droid 2 and it works great. Please keep in mind that not all features are working yet...it is still a work in progress.
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/12/27/download-honeycomb-music-player-from-google-io/
yeah i saw this too on droid-life since i look at that site every couple mins as i do with this site, been watching that site for years. that music app does look like its going to be some great stuff once its completed.
Can anyone be kind enough to host the file somewhere else, I've trie to download the .apk on my tablet and pc and the file dosnt download correctly
TIA
Downloads ok on my advent Vega.

Yeah, I had problems downloading from my Droid 2 as well... I had to connect to the PC as Mass Storage and download it that way instead.
Here is another link

I bet the streamed music has to do with Googles purchase of simplified media. I used it back in my iPhone days and it allowed me to stream my whole iTunes library to other computes or my phone.
Thanks for sharing.
Have you guys looked at Audiogalaxy? There was a post today about it. You download a free app from the market, setup a little tiny program on your pc. Tell the pc program where your music is and stream away. I am using it and it works great... I just used my Facebook login with it and it worked..

With this audiogalaxy is it possible to have music on my droid and send it to the gtab? and like remote control the music PLAYING on the gtab from the droid? cant seem to get any program to work the way i need/want it to. tried twonky but it wont recognize the gtab as a player when using the droid app on the droid. main goal is to be able to pretty much control music on the gtab while its plugged into speakers from across the room or anywhere in the house.
Per the subject line, I need to be able to start working on videos using my photos to put together stories. SO I need to be able to import my photos, show how long they should show before transitioning to the next one, and support a music track and an audio (voiceover) track. I have looked at what is available online, but the only thing that even sort of works on Android is Jaycut, and I'll be darned if I can figure out a way to get it to do two audio tracks.
Anything (!) out there, or do I need to accept that I have a use case that requires iOs rather than Android?
There is movie studio.

Umm... have you actually tried using that program? Not only is there 0 documentation (the Google web page for it literally just lists that it comes with Honeycomb), but it does not seem to support any of the items I need.
Of course if you've figured out how to make it work, PLEASE tell
I have used it moderately. And to be honest from what I can see, it can probably get by to your needs. But would need some work. Honestly if you really need all that, and know the ipad can do it, get the ipad.
I didn't see a thread for the Crackle app from Sony that is free in the Market. This app gives you access to a lot of free movies and television shows. I have it installed on both of my gTabs (one running VEGAn 5.1.1 and the other running CyanogenMod 7.0.3 (stable)) and it runs great. I have noticed that during some times of the day it seems that the network connection between Crackle's servers and my house come to almost a crawl. Other than that it's another great free way to watch movies and t.v. shows on our gTabs.
Can you please share the latest version of the apk, all searches outside US gives us the 1.0 version (which don't run on the gtab).
TIA

I'm runnuing BOS from Roe with the latest edition and this will load and install.
Had audio for a while and no video.
Now nothing but a white screen when I hit the watch now button for Silverado which was the first movie listed.
How's this supposed to work-download the movie or is it streaming etc??
Saw a add to Que but don't know how this works.

I've never ran that ROM so I can only speak to my experience with a gTab running CM 7.0.3.
It streams the video like Netflix/Hulu/Fox TV, it doesn't download it like the BlockBuster app.
Like I said on my original post, at certain times of the day or with certain videos it seems the network connection is super slow which can lead to white or black screens with only audio as the app is trying to buffer the video. Try it when you have the best WiFi connection possible. When at home I have 12 mb downstream and it plays fine for me 90% of the time.
As for the queue, it's just that, a queue like on Hulu. It's sort of a playlist so if you have several shows or movies in your queue they will play one after the other automatically.

Well I'll try again and thanks for the info.
I must say, I'm pretty unimpressed with it. Its organization is a mess, and it looks like it just has rather unpopular shows and movies on it.
I might be wrong. But it seems to me that I'm sticking with Netflix for the time being.
Some of us are too cheap to pay for Netflix.
It's still got a few decent movies on there, and Seinfield and Married w/Children are a hoot for quick watching. It's at least worth a download, even if you only watch a couple of movies and uninstall it.
Pretty awesome Running G-Harmony and watching Ghostbusters as I type this! Thanks for posting!!
Thanks OP Great App. Works great on my GTablet and Droid X phone

It sounds like Crackle is using Flash. And it's a well known issue that flash only kind of works in Bottle of Smoke. Flash will play audio but not video. Knowing this I will not bother trying to install this on my tablet which is running GTabComb (which is a 1.1 bootloader derivative of BOS). The only reason YouTube app works on BOS is because it is probably using html5 instead of flash in the app.
Could you u post the latest version?

I would if I could find where the apk was saved to. I didn't find it in the usual \data\apps folder like all of my other apks.
Like this app. Just watched Resident Evil. Good flick.

Ok so I am on FireKat v11 and it is amazing, of course.
Just wondering what all I am missing out on? As far as tweaks/mods and even cool apps that I am unaware of.
I use my phone quite a bit, Mostly for browsing the web and also watching movies and listening to music, So maybe anything that would enhance my experience doing those things?
This thread may seem kind of odd but I am fairly new to all of this and am just looking to expand my knowledge and enjoyment of this phone. Any idea's would be much appreciated!!

Definitely check out Viper for a serious boost in audio quality if you haven't already. The app is built into firekat but you need to install the audio driver from inside the app. There's an updated version here
I use Plex to stream movies/tv shows/etc from my computer to my note...the setup for that is kind of a pain since you have to install and configure plex on your computer but I use it across my note 3 note 10.1 and nexus 10 and it has full stop/resume support so if you've got a lot of movies on your computer it might be worth checking out
