I found this app on the Market for anyone that came from or is coming from Android. It's probably the best Google reader app.
Syncs and everything!
Has anyone downloaded or bought the app? What does the paid version do?
Thanks
Is it better/faster that NextGen Reader?

I don't know. I'll download NextGen and let you know though!
You can also check out this article that came out on PocketLint:
http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/43624/best-windows-phone-7-apps
I'm throttled on my HTC Radar (T-Mobile slowed down my Internet) and the app still downloads e articles pretty quick. I love it.
What is the diff between The trail and full version ?

With paid version you get:
Multiple Live Tiles, you can pin any feed/folder to start
Full image caching, with Trial version the caching is limited to images of the newest 25 articles per sync
Option to change font size in article-reading
Hope this helps,
edoardo
PS: I'm the developer of Flux, with your purchase you also receive lots of Flux Love!
Thanks/ I think you can add this on the market place listing.
Second I am not able to make this app work since 4 days now. It is stuck at Syncing Subscription. Any idea ?

I'm using omnia 7 and works fine, I like it Very useful, also in the trial version
I downloaded NextGen, and I guess it's all about tastes.
I found Flux satisfies me more.

Unfortunately we're using the Google ClientLogin Authentication, which doesn't support 2-step verification.
We'd need to adopt OAuth, maybe we'll add in a future release.

images not working
Hi edonistart.
I have downloaded your app Flux today as it look like a great google reader app. Their is one problem I can't get the images working on the tile view for articles or on my live tiles. How do I set this up in the settings?
Thanks

Hi Mike, thanks for your support!
Go to settings and check these settings:
caching tab
- Cache images: wi-fi only (or always if you're not on a wi-fi)
- When not cached, download images: always
live tiles tab
Show image of newest unread: Yes
For the images to be shown, the article must have at least one image in the "preview" (the html got by the feed).
Hope this helps,
edoardo
PS: I'll follow up in email too, so to be sure that everything is working as expected.

Was the new marketplace for Gingerbread as well? Because it basically uses the same tech as the "Send to phone" app

The new marketplace does not need an OS update after Froyo. Froyo already have the "send to phone" feature included. Now it's just a matter of when Google will put the new marketplace online (maybe in a few weeks as they are still testing it).

Yeah someone above just said it was for Gingerbread and not Froyo which is why i asked
Marketplace is updated in froyo.. you can do automatic updates and stuff. Slight changes here in froyo land but more significant than 2.0 -> 2.1. Its not as revolutionary as you think based on some of the stuff they were giving as sneak peaks for gingerbread. Still.. i can get flash beta on my phone and have it set to auto update. still messing with it all now.
Edit: I could be wrong on the send to phone thing.. my understanding was ginger bread. My bad if i gave out wrong info.
Send to phone is part of Froyo, its a developer API so until some devs implement it it won't work
Found it: http://code.google.com/p/chrometophone/

Just downloaded it, awesome app. HQ playback on 3G.
I was able to find it via the device market place. Just go to Apps and do a search for YouTube and you would find it in the list.
But I am not sure about the app's search functionality. I have tried searching for a video in native WP7 YouTube app, which gave me a bunch of results, but the same search did not come up with any results on the HTC YouTube one.

Hello!
We (3 Microsoft Student Partners) created a free (yes, free!) WP 7.5 application, Good Morning.
Here is the description:
"Good Morning is an alarm clock using your personal musics. Browse your favorite tracks, choose one and let it act as an alarm.
Coming up:
- Enable multiple alarms
- Create a playlist as an alarm clock"
Here is the link: windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/a3144459-4a33-4aab-b81f-ff030ee92281
We currently released the V1 of the app. If you have some ideas for another version, or if you saw some problems with the app, your feedback is welcomed!
Pierre
Hello Guys!
We have updated the app:
Changelog:
-pictures are not pixelized
-possibility to add a reminder when the alarm is active
-the alarm can be started from any slide of the app.
As usual, your feedbacks are welcomed !
Good app, works perfect on HD2 with the latest build of WP7.5
Thanks! I'm not sure if you all are open to suggestions, but I would kill for an alarm clock that could use a podcast, audio or video, as an alarm clock. For example, I'd love to wake up to the latest edition of the "Wall Street Journal This Morning" podcast!
Great App! I'm testing it & i love the UI (clean & metro).
Hope we'll see next version soon.
EDIT: Could you make this App works in background? Will be better.

Hello! Our latest update has been accepted, and you'll be able to download it in the next hours.
Here are the modifications:
v1.2 :
- "Shake to snooze": delay the alarm during 5 minutes
- settings page added
- start/pause button deleted (for managing the music)
- pin an alarm on the phone's home page
- icons of the application use the phone's accent color

I know you guys are Student dev's and congrats on your App but I am here to let you know you can actually run your app as a background process. You need to create a separate program in general and add it in to your current project as now your app has 2 projects.
Yes, you could turn the other project in to a control but I don't recommend it as this way you can edit better and no need to re-compile out of project.
With your second project, it runs in the background allowing the other project to be the "brain". If you add a reference to your main app, you can do quite a bit in your bg app, for example... Have it detect the time and than send the function of an alert someone sent...
It's the same idea as if you were going to do TOAST/LIVE Tile updates.
Hope my 2 cents didn't offend you, just trying to help you .

Hi lseidman,
Thanks for your feedback.
You're right, I can add another project to my solution to implement a background agent.
Unfortunately, afaik :
1/ The player uses the Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Media namespace, which can't be referenced from a Task Agent project.
2/ Tasks are handled by the system. We can't defined the scheduled interval. As mentioned on msdn [I can't post any outside link - sorry] a periodic task can run every 10mn at least.
I don't know every APIs and I may be wrong, but I don't think what you described is a solution. Please let me know if i'm wrong.
Thanks again for helping me make this app better !

1).
Have you tried using using System.Windows.Media and doing something like (in XAML):
<MediaElement x:Name="mediaControl" Source="soundfile.mp3/wma" AutoPlay="False" Width="0" Height="0" Margin="240,60" />
* Note the 0's so it's hidden.
** You can replace source's defined file location (assuming your not copying the file they select to local storage, renaming and defining it as one specific item name) to Source="{Binding filetoplay}".
Obviously when using binding your going to need to have something to bind to it (even if you did a "public string itemname {get; set;}" in a class).
Which you could always use IsolatedStorage like I said above in which you could do:
using (isolatedStorageFileStream)
{
SaveFile(e.Result, isolatedStorageFileStream);
//error is null function, go and do:
media.SetSource(isolatedStorageFileStream);
}
* Just know other steps are needed before you even get to that point but just an example. This is obviously where you previously grabbed the file, "created" it, saved it and set for playback (hence the .SetSource).
Then for playback wherever you needed it, you just throw: mediaControl.Play();.
Again, just an idea to get around XNA. It won't be simple if you're not familiar with IsolatedStorage and other aspects around it but you can get away from XNA.
2). Take a look at these, maybe they'll help you...
ScheduledNotification Class
Alarm Class
Reminder Class
Also check out the other items around the PeriodicTask.
Either way, good luck and best of luck with future development!
Thanks,
Lance

Hi, everyone. I'm currently trying to set up my NST using 1337 ROM and make everything works the way it should.
I am trying to get Google Voice to work. I have everything working except for the keyboard. I just cannot get the keyboard to pop up. Is there an alternate keyboard I can install or should I install an older Google Voice APK? I'm not sure where to go from here.
Amazon Appstore cannot be parsed properly. I am assuming that this is because the apk is the most recent version. I cannot seem to find any NST compatible APK so I'm wondering if anybody here could share a link to it for me please? Thanks
I am also not able to find the right opera APK. I want to replace the UC browser that came built in.
Is there any RPG games you can recommend for the NST? I'm currently checking out Andor's Trail. And a few RPG GameBoy games via an emulator. Just trying to get some simple games. Especially some that are two players so I can play with my wife too.
Thank you for any responses.

'Course! Here's how to do it:
1. Install the .apk I attached below. It's for an app called Terminal Emulator.
2. Execute the commands displayed below:
Code:
$ su
# cd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases
# sqlite3 settings.db
# sqlite3 > delete from system where name like 'lock%';
# sqlite3 > .q
# exit
$ exit
3. Enjoy.

Let me do some research on these and get back to you.
Pro tip: If you want to change the theme of Hacker's Keyboard to something else, open up Terminal Emulator and execute this:
Code:
$ su
# am start -n org.pocketworkstation.pckeyboard/.LatinIMEDebugSettings
Then, use the Theme drop-down menu.

The menu background issues have been addressed by altering images in the framework-res.apk. There are two versions around, one with lighter backgrounds (still darker than the original) and one with darker backgrounds. These changes are global so they will affect the overall appearance of even B&N menus. I chose the lighter ones.
The installation is described here and you can examine more of that thread for additional info. The files described are no longer available at the links given in the thread, but I believe mergen3107 recently reposted them.
Thanks! I did everything suggested and it seems to have fixed everything. Still getting used to the new barely visible menu text but I think I can handle that.
Thank you both! the Nook is a lot more usable now
@Deafcyclist, I just updated my SBM Theme (which is used in yattaro's and my 1337 ROM) to include nmyshkin's and mergen3107's fix for the barely visible menu text. Go check it out, if you like. The .apk there with the fix is called framework-res.alt.batterypercentage+graymenu.apk. Follow the installation instructions, and you'll be good to go.
Hi
It seems that the RD client app is no longer able to display remote computer like the S8 or S9 were.
I applied exactly the same settings (including Dex MAX) from my S8 Plus but it is not possible for me to match it to full screen. Actually the application widow is matching full screen but remote computer view is limited to a quater of the screen in the top left corner.
Anyone encountering the same issue
cheers
Just a work-around for now. If you don't require the functionality to launch apps directly through enterprise connections, there are 3rd party free apps on the market that are vanilla RDP capable. Maybe give one of those a shot? I believe the one I use occasionally is Remote RDP Lite: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.toremote.rdpdemo

Sure For now, submit a detailed bug report to the the RDP app developer (M$) directly. I'm sure they will come up with a fix relatively soon since it's a popular flagship device.

I have the same issue, closest I have found for a replacement is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devolutions.remotedesktopmanager
Application looks very promising and offers far more configuration vs. RD client but critically the bluetooth mouse is not supported for scroll / click and windows key also not supported
Support ticket here if you would like to track / contribute:

How did you report this bug pls? I would like to report the same.. RD client was my most used app and the best use case for DeX, right now I feel like Note9 is a downgrade vs. my Note8 experience because of this.
I have created a bug here, please vote if you have this issue https://social.technet.microsoft.co...rd-client-resolution-scaling-bug?forum=winRDc
In the meantime I have moved to VNC and have setup an Ubuntu 18.04 VM to try and remove dependence on Microsoft https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.realvnc.viewer.android - modified the app to be full screen using expert mode in DeX Max.
Only issue I have remaining is copy / paste is currently not working between phone and the VM

I reported the problem on the google play "RD Client" page (in fact, I e-mailed the developer who apparently don't give a Sh... about this bug)

on the beta version of RDclient the developer responded "Thank you for your feedback. We are aware that the remote session can't span the entire screen of Chromebook and Samsung DeX for some specific resolutions. We will address this issue in our future release before WVD goes live."
I have installed the beta version so when it is hopefully fixed i will find out by noticing the update
It seems that the note 9 DeX mode handles the resolution differently to the Note 8 - I wish Samsung would not change and break things like this
while waiting for rd client to work correctly under DeX, I've been using :

2 bluetooth mice work but right click dont register as r click but as regular left click. plus you cant hold click and select multiple icons. in the dex itself all of this works.
its a shame because that app is really nice.

Thanks for checking and feedback, I agree and have opened a feature request for the app, link above.. Maybe adding your feedback will help prioritise the fix.

nit sure why but getting error on the link you provided. i did register an account though
edit
i tested the other app i posted a link to and it is a nice alternative.
it does have issues with multi select and stuff. it is also a bit costly but when i use my hp lapdock, the mouse does behave a bit better meaning on the integrated touch pad i can get the right click. an inherited issue with the lapdock is actualy left click and right click dont work. only single finger tap and 2 finger taps react as L click and R clicking.

Strange, I have updated the link now..
In the meantime I am using the official VNC viewer modified with DeX max app
