Newsland

I always used AvantGo on my old PPC, so wanted something similar for my Exec. I found Newsland on MS's website (yeah, I know, I deserve everything I get) and it had some good reviews.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work, and the website I'm supposed to register with is no longer in existance. The only site I can find is in Russian.
I thought "Stuff it" and tried to remove the software. I used settings>remove on the Exec. It has gone from the program list, but the software is still there. I tried removing it through Activesync, same result; gone from the program list, still on the Exec. I've tried a soft reset, it's still there, taking up room. Any ideas?

Newsland Remove
Hi,
I think the following is happened:
The Today screen plugin of Newsland was still active wen you tryed to remove Newsland. What you need to do is, try to install the software again, and when this is done deactivate the today plugin. Than remove the program again. After that you can look with the File Explorer and look at Program Files if the map Newsland still excist's. If so, you can delete it!
Hope this helps,
Cheers Leo

Does this mean AVantGO does not work in our Universal? Any other alternative to get NEWS REPORT on our Universal?

@cktlcmd
Hi,
If you want to use a good newsreader!

For me this is the best, tried Newsbreak and SPB Insight but this one is much faster and better designed.

Thanks. I checked the site. I do have a question. Does it support landscape view on our Universal? All the screen shots I saw were portrait view.

Landscape view
Hi,
Yes it does, I love this app, works smoothly!

Thanks very much.

Thanks Laurentius26, I'll try it now.
To the person asking if AvantGo works - it does work, just fine, in landscape or portrait. Just go to the AvantGo website and download the latest version. Annoyingly, it insists on syncing through it's own software rather than going through Activesync, and it seems slower to upload than it was on my 3 year old RX3715.
Still, it does the job just fine. I wanted to try something a bit different, so I may have a look at the other suggestions.
Edit - worked like a charm. Thanks again.

Video Cam use

Hi,
Just wandering, I have recently bought a mda Vario II on T-mobile. I haven't got any mates with video phones so was wandering if I can use front video cam for anything else ?
Maybe with Pocket Messenger maybe as a webcam ?
Or even just a piece of software that I can use to "test" it's working at least ?
This maybe a silly question, but i am sure some of the smarties here can help
Cheers

Get a hold of the coolcamera software from ateksoft and you can use the camera inc. such things as web cam etc. (Not a free application though)

Since Ateksoft split up the coolcamera software from one\application to 3 or 4 it may be that you need the webcamera app.
There are loads of threads on this if you use the Google search sticky and put in- TyTn front camera coolcamera, you'll find them.
By the way you have to enter the menus to tell it to use the front cam.

orait..thanks mike it works =)

Webcamera Plus

Someone tested Webcamera Plus on the X1?

if you go to ( http://www.warelex.com/products/webcam/ ) and then have a look to the right of the page you will see options to download but obviously you will need to get the windows mobile version which once downloaded is a cab, so easy install but only downfall its a trial. But i belive if you was to google it you may find a torrent of the full version. but once installed you will need to use active sinc to get it running but it runs quite smooth and generally well

Hey I m looking for a prog that allows me to use my xperia as a webcam when connected to my Laptop! ... this thread seemed the closest match so .. has anybody tried the software or knows of software that would allow me to do this?

Works on x1
http://qik.com/

[WEBCAM} Use your HTC HD2 as a webcam ??

Is there any software other than Mobiola that works well with the HD2 ?
Mobiola doesnt work well on Oovoo .. I get all kind of green scanlines in the picture.
Does anyone know a software that actually works and connects using BLUETOOTH ?

There is WebCamera Plus, but doesn't work well either.
Is there any other software that works?

Yeah I tried WebCamera Plus, not the best software =\

I guess we are still waiting for proper tool that works with HD2.

I use qik before it works great on my Xperia..

Did you try it on the HD2 ?

WAtch this for a how-to

no but I think it should work fine.

Ahh thanks for the replies guys, but it seems there is no direct software that can connect through bluetooth other than mobiola ?

you have any news?

Bump! This would be useful, does anyone have a solution?

Bump!
Nothing new that has come up?

would love this. please find.

=( i Want to know too

mmh, i never used webcamera plus on my hd2, but on my omnia it worked very well Oo

Nothing happens, its a shame. Softwarecoders sleeping on trees. Since many years there are Phones with intrgrated cameras and wlan and bluetooth, but developers don't think ahead and are not able to calculate 1+1.

rebump. ild love 2 have this.

Hi,
what's wrong with Webcam plus?
i tried it and it worked for me. Ok, there seems to bee a bug if you set to very high resolutions. Than sometimes there is shown only a black windows and i had to restart. Did you get any more failures?

tinyCAM worked on my stock rom but not on my current Energy rom anymore...

Nice app, thanks! However tinyCam is not exactly what's of interest here. The idea is to have a regular USB web camera functionality in HD2, so you can connect it with Skype for example. tinyCam is video server. Ideally it would be great to have a simulation of some generic video camera, so you don't have to install any third party drivers/software.
