Can u watch tv on my phone?

If so how? or where can i download some footage to watch on my phone like films?

I'm sure _I_ cannot watch TV on _your_ phone as we're not even in the same country.
Hell... this forum going down the drain. A big percentage of the people joining currently only start threads which are answered a hundred times already... most often not even a specific topic (being much worse than in this thread). This a developer forum (hence the name!), not a "I'm a goddamn noob, much too lazy to read a thing... you all GOT TO help me. You owe me, you know." forum - well, it was.

Can you watch TV on your phone..... live tv.... hmmm.... where would you stick the ariel (answers on a post card please). IF you have a data package, maybe you could find an internet TV streaming site, not sure of the power of the device to do that though.
As for downloading footage, I have heard of this thing called the "internet" I think you can download lots of things from there.
Good luck!

You should join the gang here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=272524

WelshDragon, ignore the gripers, welcome to the forum. And in fact, contrary to what they say, you can watch live TV on your phone with Slingbox, see http://www.slingmedia.com/indexa.php , although I do not believe the European version has been released yet. I use it here and it works a treat. Also, check out sites like http://www.cbs.com/ , from where you can watch streaming video of complete shows. Also check out http://youtube.com/.

Check out orb.com I use it with TCPMP on my phone. I use orb with a TV tuner in my computer to stream my cable and movies to myself. Orb can explain how to do this in detail. Hope this helps.

While the above posts are valid, just remember that if you are using a GPRS connection or any other Pay system for internet, your costs are going to be a drawback.
I am sure I will be corrected if I am wrong, but I don't think there is yet a hardware TV solution in the MiniSD card format. The ones I have seen are on a full size SD card.
And also, welcome to the forum. Like you, we all started out as newcomers and yes, many of us, including me, used the search functions and just didn't have the time to wade through all the results. It's very daunting at the start.
All I will say on the matter is, try to search but if you don't find an answer, post a new thread. Just include, "I have searched but......" in it. If you have tried, fair enough.

Skype works fine on my Wizard, which has a miniSD card. Not sure why the card would make a difference, Skype recommends that the software be installed on the device, not on the storage card. Skype works OK with Edge or even GPRS connection, although of course much better with wi-fi. I have unlimited data with T-Mobile, but you are correct that if data is limited the extra costs could be significant if you watch a lot of TV.

Website for speeding up the Tytn

Hi guys,
I once found a website (maybe even on XDA-DEVELOPERS) with a bunch of tip'n'tricks on how to speed up tytn. Things like disabling the clicking sounds and the phone-dialing sounds, NOT disbleing the commMNGR and the battery meter on the bottom tray (which seems to slow the TYTN down).
I cant find the site now. Does any one know of it?

As a member, you should know how to use the "Search" function. I saw this thread somewhere in this forum. Please spend sometime searching the forum before you ask.

I did and I cant find it

Forums are for helping each other out right? Or criticizing one another? i forget...
Is this the site you are referring to? (make sure to scroll down past the first big post about benchmarks)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320370
I came across that one yesterday and just re-hunted it down for ya. The disabling the alarm sounds really did "brutally" increase my phones speed. Hope thats the one you were lookin for. If not, good luck searchin. maybe Ill give it another go when I get home from work.

THANKS!!! Thats the one

You gotta love arrogance on the internet. I'm just great full for the site as a whole. Its been beyond helpful. So thank you everyone from he junior members all the way to the moderators.

Finger friendly video player? (iPod Touch-like)

I'm looking for a WM video player with the iPhone and iPod Touch feel. AC did a fantastic job with S2P for audio, and I'd like a similar experience for video. I have TCPMP, and I've even tried the iPod skin for WMP, but that just doesn't match up in finger-friendliness.
Anyone know of any apps?

Mortplayer
Google Mortplayer and try the iphone skin...

Mortplayer won't work on .avi.

Mort Player plays only Audio Files!!!

try s2p by A_C

CorePlayer.Iphone Skin.

Geneal Software Questions
Please start posting these questions in the new thread at the top of this page. I'm really glad that the people are answering questions on this thread here, but thats why the thread at the top of this page was created!!!! Im no mod, so I cant do anything about it, but why encourage this stuff!!! It makes searchig for a app on here impossible. This is just my 2 cents, but just trying to help out.

Do people even read the first post?

Not Flaming
Im not criticizing for posting this thread at all. Just reccomending that instead of answering threads like this, that the people who come across it, direct them to the right place. I know that once it is posted , it is to late, but when people answer these threads, it proves to the creator that they dont have to try. Every qustion posted there so far has been answered extremely fast.
But like I said, Im not criticizing. Just reccomending. If people stopped answering these threads, and only told them where to post, eventually every single noob or anyone for that matter, would learn that it is pointless to even try to do it anymore.

Possibility to record videos in [email protected]

Hi folks,
I was wondering if there´s any possibility of making the Touch HD record videos in [email protected], just like Xperia X1.
As the Xperia is manufactured by HTC, the hardware should be very similar. So, has anyone thought about trying to make the video recording better?
It´s a shame that a pda like Touch HD, turned to media playing content (because of its huge screen), has a crappy video recording.
It´s weird because it can shoot 5 megapixel pics, but it "can´t" record VGA videos.
So, let´s try a way to discover how to make it record better videos.
Who´s with me?

ok, you can start, and all of us will see your progress
stupid post no thanks

kersh, your post was completely unnecessary. If my post is so stupid, just ignore it.
I believe I have the right of having a question and post here, I´m free to do so. And I expect that only helpful posts to be posted here from now on.
I think other people have already thought what I asked above and are also interested in the helpful answers. Please, do not polute this forum with this kind of posts.
Thanks.

Your post is not a question, is a "HEY I WANT 30FPS ON MY TOUCH HD, SO PEOPLE START TO WORK FOR ME" with a ;D for sharm.
This is a topic already discused on A LOT of threads, like video performance, or TV out, you are not the first persin that want this feature, and if you search, maybe found it.
In other side, if you want something, dont ask others to develop for you, try to help.
And by the way, it seems to be that 30fps video it is only possible on X1 processor "A" version.

Hey Kersh,
Many are interested in the answer to this question.
If you know that it has been raised before, please provide a link to it, and we will all thank you.
If you're unwilling to do so, please just ignore the post.
I have spent a lot of time already on the forum but do not have time to see every single posts. It is not unreasonable to post a question even if there is already answer elsewhere.
This forum is not just about getting answer all the time. It is also a form of social interaction. Some of us even enjoy giving help to anyone who needs it, although it is on topic where answers are already availalbe with a search.
If you do not like the topic, just skip it. Nobody points a gun on your head to read it, if you feel your precious time is wasted.

The camera hardware from the Xperia is very different then the cammera hardware from the HD... To my understanding This feauture is bound to the camera hardware, and not to the Quallcom part of the hardware.
Therefor you can't compare them, and its probably impossible to get [email protected] fps recording native on the Touch HD.

kersh, I do NOT have a Touch HD, I even haven´t got money for buying it I was just curious to know if that was possible.
Eaglesteve, thanks for the support.
Lord.Bachus, I didn´t know the camera hardware was different in both phones. Unfortunately.

rudeys
No need to chew the guy out in a rude way... we all were eeeediots once you know. Let me add to the idiocy... what if the capture was not compressed but more raw file - would this allow for better FPS?

twitter!?!

can someone please direct me in the right direction for a twitter app for my fuze. thank you soo much. im a bit stressed and tired of searching. thanks again.

Pocketwit: http://code.google.com/p/pocketwit/

Please use the Q&A section for a question like this, not the hacking and developing section. PockeTwit (Free) is one, and Twikini ($5) is another good one.

PockeTwit is good, but the best one I've used yet is Kinoma Play. Fring also has decent twitter functionality, acting like a chat contact.
