ok,
i have just got a shiny new htc hd as i thought it was the nicest smartphone currently out there:
problem i have is it seems to be left behind when it comes to apps and games like the iphone, any idea where i could go to get some good games?
cheers
HTC HD User
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Software_Games
i know all about the Wiki...
the question was WHERE CAN I GET THEM FROM IS THERE AN ONLINE STORE?
that has all these bits rather than running around the web like a numpty looking for dead end links?
Don't be lazy, just google for the name of the game and I'm sure you'll find plenty of sites. It only takes seconds..

Unfortunately there isn't one site which has all games available and you'll need to check the wiki to ensure all games are compatible full screen or not. As metioned previously, you'll just have to search for the title of game and go from there.
Would start with Pocketgear.com
thanks for the tips guys:

I would like to know where I can get this game from and how would I put it on the wing?
Isnt "World Tour" a console based game? (360,PS3,NDS) I know theres a mobile Guitar Hero 3, but I want aware of world tour.
UPDATE: Actuallly I found it within seconds of posting here. I will not post a link bc it is a licensed prgram which is supposed to be paid for, but simply go to google and type in Guitar Hero Mobile.cab and just maybe youll find something?
Well, in case tyou have good intentions you can find the the legal version of the game here.

Thanks for the help.

Hi guy's
I've started a thread over at tvcatchup.com's forum to gather support for a windows mobile application or at least access to the tv streams that the iphone uses as they have a special portal that doesnt use flash.
Just wondered if it would be possible for you to show your interest in this thread too and bring tvcatchup.com to WM
Thanks

Cant believe there arnt more people out there who want this working on WM!!, maybe its my fault for just making this post in the Leo section of the forum.
I've tried seting my user agent in Firefox to iphone 3.0 UA and managed to get the page to load where for bbc one it has this url
http://84.234.22.109:1935/iphone/iphone_bbcone.sdp/playlist.m3u8?stream=bbcone
which downloads a playlist, if you open the playlist in notpad you get this
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-STREAM-INFROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=100000
http://84.234.22.109:1935/iphone/ip...t.m3u8?wowzasessionid=431120102&stream=bbcone
But after that I have no idea what to do to make it stream on the phone

It's the m3u8 file format that's the problem there. It's not something we can play on WM devices.
I've tried to sign up to the site so I can post words of encouragement and support on the thread, but it just keeps throwing an error, so i can't
Good luck with this - I'd love to see this on WM.
Surely the playlist just directs the iphone to some H.264 stream, Im sure something like coreplayer would be able to play that? but as you say the playlist doesnt open.
I tried renaming the .m3u8 to just .m3u (as that's what coreplayer recognises) but no luck after that,
Can I ask a mod to move this to a more appropriate section to get more exposure.
Thanks
made a post on tvcatchup thread. lets wait and see if they show any interest.
Well it looks like there's been a response from them
Their are 12 versions of Windows Mobile operateing system.
Id hate to guess how many different phones are useing the variaty of Os's.
Their are massive compatibility issues within each and every OS version and Mobile Phone Type.
iPhone was chosen as our first step onto the mobile market as their is ONE operateing system and specifications between each iPhone are the same. Its one of the most sold new phones on the market and its keep selling. It was highly feasible for an iphone application.
Windows Mobile on the other hand would be very complex. It would cost TVCatchup to develop such application, and we have not yet finished the iPhone which is in Beta.
One step at a time im afraid, we can not jump into every handset from day one.
If theirs a skilled windows mobile developer reading this that uses TVCatchup, we do have an API.

No idea where they got the 12 versions of WM from but its the last sentance that perked up my ears, They have an API for a budding xda developer to use!!!

Yep... i read that and replied also (im ukbreakbeat on there)
Come on XDA Devs... you know you want to get on this!
Cheers mate, I've contacted a certain dev on here with a well know tv app, hopefully they give him the goodies
Anyone know about any progress? Is FryWalker working on it?
He let me know he had been in contact with their lead developer, and that they were very helpful, I belive he's working on it
I thought I'd bump this as Fry seems to be getting the cold shoulder from the tvcatchup guys apparently, I thought anyone interested in the development would like to know and of course let them know that us WM owners still want an app developed!
Surely all that would be needed is a codec for core player to allow it to play the m3u8 playlist??
I have done a bit of sleuthing and there is a program called pocket player that claims to be able to play m3u8 files but I've had no luck with this so far.
I just use Skyfire to watch.. and it works fine. Looks perfect especially in landscape mode.
Yeah Skyfire works but it's frame rate is low
Hi,
I'm using skyfire on t-mobile UK and get an error on the stream stating it is non-UK - has anyone else seen this and does anyone know a workaround ?

If you check on the TV catchup forums, this is because you downloaded the US version of the software and not the UK version.

I thought they were all on board for Fry to develop his MyPlayer app to include TV Catchup streams?

Hi - thanks for the tip - I checked around and had to change my DNS settings to a UK server then reinstall Skyfire so it'd pick up a UK farm. Done that and it connects fine !
Only thing (there's always something) is now that the picture is great but there's no audio - any ideas why no sound is coming through and if there's something I need to change ? I checked the IP settings and there's no compression set - not sure what else to check.
Thanks for any help,

Agree. Installed it last night, and it works albeit a bit choppy. I only tried it due to a dedicated iphone freak at work going on about tvcatchup, and that the HD2 can't do it. Can't wait to see him later
Im not new to WinMo and I'v had the HD2 for about 3 days now but coming from Android like most of u, and was wondering what solutions you have found for software. To me the Windows Market SUXs big time right now. nothing good worth downloading (free anyways) and i have noticed theres not manny, to no choices when it comes to photo editing or manipulating software
where can i get some software to make the phone more usable. seems very limited right out of the box for me and i wanna "Android it up" a bit if its at all possible... and i dont mean install android apps
i miss the:
photo editing apps in general, not just android ones
googlesky - i know, i know, its a google app but something similar should be out there.. no?
googlemaps - (see googlesky note) (winmo doesnt have turn by turn on the included googlemaps...). however, i dont blame google for the limitations, it is their software.
extra messaging apps
a working barcode scanner - very useful app
any type of flash?
so whats everyone doing/using??
thank
rlee
Take a look here for what you need, this is the real marketplace for WM 6.5.x!
For Flash Skyfire browser helps, and Smaberg has a version of Opera 10 with flash enabled.
I know there are several barcode readers, don't use it, but they're available, as are alternate messaging apps/UIs.
Don't know about photo editing apps, but I'm sure they must be out there too...
Windows mobile is a far easier platform to get software from. You just search the internet, as you would for PC software. You can always look on xda too, and remember that if you do a search in the HD2 forum, you're only searching a very small portion of the site. You're better searching the whole forum. Wacky.banana kindly posted a thread about searching. It's stickied in this forum.
Hi, You could try http://freewarepocketpc.net. It also has it's own app that you can install on your HD2 to download applications directly to it. Yes the WinMo apps are fragmented all over the place with no single point of download. A lot are crap, but the same can be said for Android and iPhone. You hear stories that developers are giving up on WinMo 6. For bar codes i use i-nigma and Mobiletag but they are far from perfect.
Not sure about your impression that most of the HD2 users come from an Android background, interesting point of view A lot are interested in porting Android to it though
NZtechfreak thanks for the replies, trying out the skyfire browser right now.
johncmolyneux, im far from a windows noob, but for this phone i have searched the web, both through yahoo and google, have searched through forums and all the software i find either isnt compatible or i dont find what im looking for exactly. As i posted above, picture editing software should be common but there is not one single app available that runs properly.

Thanks for that link - installed the appstore from that site. Cool
As someone moving from Android, I've been a little disappointed thus far too.

i didnt mean all but alot of us jumped onto the bandwagon in hopes that android will be available to us in the near future
and i wouldnt say im disapointed with the HD2, in fact i think its awesome! its just different from what i've been using for a year and a half. but this phone has features that would make it hard to go back to android hardware so lets load up the sofware and see what happens!

yeah i have seen the evo but that's coming to Sprint not to t-mobile so my options are a bit limited cause I'm still under contract with them. i got hopes that the evo will help with the development of Android on the HD2.

Resco Photo Manager - not free but not expensive either and has reasonably good photo editing capabilities. Certainly enought for mobile devices, given the assumption that hardcore editing would be done on a PC
Could anyone point me in the direction of a good ebook resource, cheaper the better or preferably free, for the HD2 please? I recently bought a couple from the WH Smith ebook site. While I admit they were a very good read, they were also very expensive. I've tried Project Gothenburg, their books aren't to my taste I'm afraid, I'm not into classical literature. I just prefer a straight forward, preferably true, read i.e non-fiction, auto-biographies, true crime etc.
By the way, I use the MobiReader software, although I'm thinking of changing this as it's not perfect on the HD2. Or either I'm not using it correctly??
I would appreciate any pointers please on both points.
Thx.

Here's the mother of all free online libraries:

I also use ereader.com a lot, and have started to use the Barnes and Noble client that came on my US version. The cab file is around since it gets updated when you first start it, so if you want it let me know if your phone didn't have it.

Thx for the reply, appreciate it. As I stated in my thread, I'd already looked at the gutenberg website and their books weren't for me. I'm not really into classical literature. Thanks all the same tho.
I'm absolutely staggered at some of the prices we're expected to pay for an ebook, an ebook for gods sake! It's not even a real book with pages and a cover that sits nicely on your bookshelf!!!
I've just looked on several uk based websites and I'm astounded at the prices!
For instance, a cricketing hero of mine, his auto-biography in ebook format is over £17!! What??!! Ryan Giggs auto is £9+! I actually purchased this book (proper) around 18 months ago and I think I paid £6.99.
What's going on? Something is very, very wrong indeed!
Has anyone tried running any of the Gameloft games on their transform especially Asphalt 6? I did see a thread on Xoom where people have supposedly been able to get it to work. I also don't just want to flush my money either.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000450
When you go to the Gameloft website with the transform it just tells you there are no compatible games. If the games work on the Xoom then I see no reason they would on our Transformers.
You can find your answers here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1108
Yes Asphalt 6 works...
OK, so I have tried this link below numerous times & it is the one referred to in the Xoom thread. When I fill out the information for purchase nothing happen when I click on buy. It just reverts back with blank field. Is there another link?

The link you posted works for me but I havent tried getting all the way to the order page. Have you made sure your browser user agent is not on Desktop? That could make a difference. Someone in a thread I posted said Gameloft may have closed whatever hole was allowing us to buy games for unapproved devices., so it could just be that.
