Web based locator for Winmob phones.

Ok fellas, I searched and i found many apps that help you, if (God forbid) you lose your phone. They are all great and do the job.
-If you use Outlook you can wipe all info on your phone etc...
But.... Wouldn't it be nice if we had a web based app that could show the position of your phone. Similar to the fruity one. (threw up a little on my keyb sorry)
Thanks and greets to all.

i'd also be interested in this.
like your sig pic btw.

Searching Friends problem on Facebook by using my HD2

hey guys,
I'm trying to add some new friends from Facebook by my HD2, but I can't search any new friends!! ;(
However, it works on IPhone but why not windows phone.
Anyone know about these?
Let me know Please
Thank u in advance

anyone can help??

You've not given us enough information to help you.
How are you trying to add friends? How do you expect it to work, and in what way does it not?
Incidentally, silly comments like "it works on my iPhone" will get you nothing other than silly comments like "use your iPhone then".

Thanks John,
Well, i go to "Friends" Tag, and click "Search" then i input the person's name which i'm trying to search, however, there is no other results come out apart from the person which i have added.
But my friend show me on his IPhone, once he input the name and then click search, there are numbers of results come out even he didn't add.
Did i make it a bit clear now??
Very Sorry if i confuse you guys, because English is not my first language

I have had this problem before on my TP2, it will search for people in my friends but not people I do not know.
Never managed to get to the bottom of why this happens, Sorry.

As far as I'm aware, the search function is for searching within your friends, not for searching for new friends. I don't think you can do that with the application.
The application is not meant to be a replacement for the facebook website, but rather a sort of middleware app that gets information from the site for you, and allows you to do some minor updates.
You'll still need to use the main site to do lots of things.
If it helps, you can use http://m.facebook.com/ on the phone to get the mobile version, which is a lot lighter than the full version and doesn't use any ajax or flash (which would slow the browser down considerably!)
Hope this helps

eagerly waiting for my HD2 have some questions

Hi I sold my telstra touch hd and briefly went to google for a month and had the droid. It was a fair phone and had a great UI and i liked certain things such as google navigation the handcent sms, google voice. However certain deal breakers started to arise, I could not surf the internet and talk on the phone at the same time, there was no sirius radio application, the soft keyboard was terrible, the mms still needed work, i missed copy and paste, i didnt like all the "green" that was everywhere, no decent attractive music player. Anyhow I went promptly back to ATT and ordered the hd2 telstra. I know how to hard spl my phone put in roms etc, my questions are:
1. what is the most commonly used navigation software for winmo or what is the best to use with the hd2? I have been searching but can't seem to pick one, is there a cab around here? is it already bundled with hd2?
2. what roms are being offered that do no include htc messaging? I seem to have only found one. Does anyone know which chefs there are that offer this? i went on htc pedia and it seems like miri and dutty dont offer this removal yet for hd2.
3. is there a voice to text cab available much like google 2.1's voice to text?
4. i want to install facebook panel onto the hd2 and i think i found a thread that tells you how, or does anyone have a tutorial?
5. google just released a web app for iphone for their google voice, has anyone tried this web app on their hd2? or what is the best gv dialer to use at the moment?
6. is pandora now available for hd2?
i think thats it your help is most appreciated, please dont attack me if these are similar questions asked before, i did go over the forum and searched thank yu

is there anyone that can help

You can just remove it yourself. That's what I did.

I don't know if the "Oz" version comes with it but in the UK it comes with a trial version of Co-Pilot as part of the rom although its not that hard to add other apps instead of this...at the moment Igo,Tomtom,GarminXT and Navigon seem to be the most popular add ons (tried them all myself and TT's winning for me so far as I'm pretty familiar with it although I do like the "live" services you get with Garmin )

i read about that however if you remove it you lose the mms functionality and they havent figured out how to put that back, im looking for a rom where the chef got rid of it themselves and its just the pocket outlook sms with mms as well

can anyone else answer my questions?

Are there any news app for the HTC HD2??

Can someone tell me what is the best application for news on the HTC HD2?
It is best if it can update news in real times on the homepage with compatible font for the HD2 screen.
I look but cannot find such program thus it would be great if someone can help? Thank in advance.

I don't know if it's the best but you might check out the AP News app. It's free and very easy to find. on the Microsoft Marketplace.

I have been using it for a while now. I like it a lot. Another thing you might want to try is some rss reader app.

Decided to look on the Marketplace and cannot find that AP News app on the UK Marketplace.
Is there anything else that is suitable or am I being useless in my ability to find it on the MS MP?

snaptu has a few news channels on it not very consise & not totally utd but for a basic news feed try this

i have not come across any winmo rss reader that is even close to what you get for the iphone or android devices (i have an iphone 3gs, nexus one, samsung i8910, archos 5IT and motorola milestone - and i consume news from all these devices depending on which one is the closest!).
anyway, after having tried multiple apps on various platforms, i find myself returning to google reader's mobile version.
i would suggest you set up your feeds one-time in google reader using a desktop, and then from your phone access the mobile version located at google.com/reader/i (note the "i" at the end of the string).
you can use opera 10 - the formatting is a bit off, but the headlines wrap properly. you could also try skyfire.
if you consume lot of feeds, you will love the way stories expand in place, and flicking down takes you to more headlines. this vertical approach is much faster and elegant than the horizontal approach implemented by dedicated rss apps. those apps take you to the story in a new window and then you have to retract back to get to the list. you are always backing in and out, rather than flicking downwards seamlessly...

I have tried Daily News and AP News app and gotta say Daily News was better - until I found Yomo Media... Take a look at it...
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-yomomedia.html
BTW - you want to install OMarket as well as it stores about 500 free apps for WinMo devices....

More devs should start developing apps with the ManilaSDK. It is pretty much aweseome, and makes us able to create state of the art apps for the, in my oppinion best mobile plattform!
Freewarepocketpc.net is an awesome plattform to share the products!

Weather App HTC

No HTC Weather and no navigator Copilot. Camera looks like crap also.
I just upgraded to W7 not because i wanted to but because I got so sick and tired of 6.5 not working. Not a thing I could do, 3/10 times I had to reset.
But Now where is all the applications? Where is the HTC weather application and the games and everything else my phone use to have. Maybe I am missing something or it is so obvious i have not seen it. BUt I want my home page to display critical info like it did in htc with 6.5. And I need my navigator maps back also. Co-pilot cannot find any navigators anywhere.
And is there a work around for the market place issue.

read the stickied threads in this forum and all questions will be answered.
Here is the short answer.
You can get full Live services working (with Market access) to download all of the apps you want with the simple tutorials in this forum

you can use navigon with uk maps.
New camera full resolution is available plus htc weather is downloadable also you can get the weather channel on app market.
Wp7 is excellent for my hd2 you just need to search & yee shall find my friend.

HTC weather app link
Do you have a direct link to download the HTC weather. I use this app a lot as I do photography in different countries.

either download HTC Hub after you get marketplace access or just flash this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944995
it's cooked into the ROM, as is chevron etc.. so all you have to do to get market access is call MS and get a code.

God help u another issue
Now that problem has a solution I have to spend 3 years in PhD School just to sync the dam thing. Why would i want my contacts and agendas in cyberspace? Sensitive info is between outlook and my phone.
These guys are forcing us into a place I am not comfortable with. Too much is syncing with too much. I visit Imdb and all my friends know. I go to the toilet and it comes up on skype "In the toilet"
Soon they will just digitize us into F.B.

More reading existing threads and less *****ing please.

I am venting because I though technology should make it easier. Drop the device on the cradle it syncs and that is that. Why is it so hard to sync. Why change a good thing? I have no idea why improve trivial things like the aesthetic and lose the things business people need (the entire reason for the smart phone is not music and videos)
I can vent cant i?
My Business HTC has now become a Toy Iphone, better at music than anything related to work. I think after reading the sync issue is a deal breaker, let me get this thing off my phone I have work to do.

http://www.companionlink.com/windowsphone/outlook/
maybe a fix for the sync issue

bravo.... afraid of syncing with the cloud, and solve it by syncing with g**gle? lol...

I think in your case its going to be alot longer than 3 years!
You've just installed an OS on your phone that you know nothing about, did you not think of doing a little bit of "reading" about WP7 before you put it on your phone
I'm not going to tell you whats just happened to your SD card

honestly why did they make it so hard?
Why force people to depend on the internet?
Why stop all the features that made me get rid of my Iphone.
Yes the UI is a dream, and 6.5 was a punishment but the good thing was flexiblity. Drop stuff on your SD card. And what happens when you are in some strangers house and need to give them a photo or a file?
Document sync needs another PhD.
I am on teh fence cuz I like the user interface because it works so fast and clean.
W7 the best way to convert your Business HTC into an Iphone.

I read about it, and the reviews didnt tell me about the sync issue or the office issues. Would it be so stupid to assume that a bloody smart Phone (i.e not a stupid phone) should be able to sync with easy. Now I have owned every smart phone known to manking even the good old Psion and the XDA o2, for the first time I have seen a smart phone turn into a normal phone.

Sell the phone, leave this forum. It will only mean fewer pointless spam threads like this one for the rest of the members who actually are able to read.

You can set WP7 to sync that stuff automatically with your skydrive. You can just give people the URL...

@ chumaj001 if you dont like a thread why are you replying Is communism forcing you to make useless remarks? NEVER understand these kind of people. You dont like it but you feel good by talking trash. Some of us actually buy these phones for their applications in the real world not for gadget boys toys.

I do have the solution to all you problems.....
Send me your HD2 and I will give you my old Nokia 6110 phone. It has no issues at all and does a great job calling and receiving calls. Seems perfect for your needs and level,
Cheers !
