[Q] Communicating with Xbox360? - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

Hey, First off I Just wanted to shout out this forum, It has been infinitely helpful with everything concerning my HTC Leo and has made me look like the coolest guy in Brooklyn NY,
I was wondering however if anyone has tried to connect to their Xbox360 and If so does it connect? I would think that If the Xbox360 Synced up with Windows 6.5 pretty well (Which it did) Windows 7 For the Leo would be fairly simple too and I'm just doing something wrong.
I just want to be able to play my Music from My phone while putting in work In COD...

Uses for an old wizard?

I have a recently retired htc wizard, and am beginning to think what I can usefully do with it. Current market value is about £50 tops I think, so not entirely worth selling. Thinking of building it in to a box adding a small amp and speakers and turning it in to a clock radio / multimedia device or similar. Has anyone else successfully completed any such projects? Any tips or suggestions?
In short, what's the best use I could put it to?

I gave mine away to my neighbor. But interesting idea you got there Probably more expansive then just buying something like that. Though I guess with some tweaking you could make it into a boombox you can take with you everywhere that could use WiFi or GPRS to stream music from your home box.
Now that, would be cool.
Does it work properly? Is the usb solid?
An old Wizard to me, means a test dummy.
You can donate it to an xda dev...to work on creating new roms.
Or I guess you can go with your idea.
Or you can give it to me!
I have plans afoot to use it as a touchscreen in my car. The idea is to have a laptop in the boot running some media software with a HD full of music and videos. Install Citrix Metaframe on the laptop and then use the Wizard as a client. Hey presto... a media centre with no wires!

Can I us my Titan as a touch pad for my computer?

I thought i saw something like that on this great forum once, but i can't find it now so if somebody could point me in the right direction i would really appreciate it.
What brings about this question? well i saw this video http://digital.xy.hk/news/?postid=729 where a dude uses his iphone as a touchpad for his shift, and i thought it was really cool and wanted to do this myself.
ps if an iphone can do it, then my titan should be able to do it correct?
I have had a good experience with
PPC Tablet Remote Control Suite
It has a ton of other stuff like remote desktop, but one of its 'modules' is a touchpad mouse control for your computer.
I don't think it uses bluetooth, but I haven't had any problems at all getting it working over the wifi connection.
It says WM6 isn't supported yet, but I used it with a custom cooked no2chem 5060 WM6.1 rom and it worked fine for me.
If you hear of a simpler solution let me know, I'd love to have something that JUST works as a touchpad without all the other junk I won't use.
thanks
Thank you, i will def try this out soonish (two organic chem midterms this week so no phone playing time only library time)

[Q] Syncing music from my Xbox 360 to my HD2 WP7

Hi guys, I did a quick search & couldn't find anything on this.
Is it possible to sync music between my HD2 WP7 & my Xbox 360? Particularly from my 360 to my phone. I've got some songs on there that I've lost the CD's of, & would like to sync them to my phone. Trying to avoid re-purchasing the music since I've already paid for it once, lol.
I tried plugging it in but it wasn't read by my 360, although it did charge my phone. It was easy enough to do running WM 6.5.x. Not sure if it is possible since the sd card is a part of the OS in WP7, but worth a try.
Gonna try a few things today/tonight & see what happens. Anybody have any ideas, at all?
*Contacted Windows Phone Support & Xbox Support on twitter. Windows Phone Support responded by telling me they didn't have any plans currently, but will pass my suggestion/question on to Xbox support & Windows Phone in house guys. Here's hoping something happens soon. Hopefully they'll fix it to where we can sync them through Zune, since both have a Zune hub.*

Loading WM6.5 (or other) onto old GPS? (running Windows CE)

Hey folks, so I have a random curiosity question. I am a bit of a noob, although I have rooted my HTC dream and installed roms, updated my HP iPaq to a newer Rom etc.... so I understand a good chunk of what to do.
My project/question? I have an old "bricked" (I guess, it gives an error upon loading) Brada brand (some house brand from the Brick here in Canada) GPS unit.
It has a large touch screen and I thought it would be fun to have a windows system on it, or even convert it to an external LCD for my DSLR for video shooting (bigger screen for live view).
My question is, how would I go about reflashing it/installing a new rom on it? Just a basic windows mobile system that would allow the use of the AV in signal, and maybe some windows mobile media player or whatnot.
What I know about it off the top of my head: It runs windows CE 4.2 I believe, has an internal CF card, and windows mobile center recognizes it on Vista (I can access files and transfer files).
I don't know what info you would need to help me out, but please ask and I will answer!
I guess its sort of a dumb idea...I'd be better off buying a new tablet and hooking that up with a new cable.....but then again, I have this lying around and wouldn't want to waste it, since it DOES have a good screen!
If its a stupid plan and not worth my effort, PLEASE STOP ME NOW. If I am going to be wasting my time, I'd rather just save up some money and buy some knock off tablet to use as an external screen, or even buy a REAL tablet for live shooting.
This is just for fun to see if I can put a new ROM on it!

DVB-T USB Possibility

Hi guys. I was wondering today about possibility to have DVB-T on HTC HD2 running on Android.
I am not going to ask if it is possible now because I know that there is some possibility that it might work.
Rather I want to make a new thread about this.
From what I know already there is possibility to have USB Host on Android HTC HD2.
The only problem is Drivers for DVB-T.
I have read on the xda forum for HTC Athena that they made it to work not fully functional but at least it worked.
Android is based on linux so if we have linux drivers it might be possible to have DVB-T Stick working on HTC HD2 with proper application to watch TV.
I know that there are already other ways of watching TV using DVB-T Stick connected to PC and have a running stream server to stream video from DVB-T on PC.
If anyone interesting and willing to help to make this work just please stick with this thread, post everything usefull for this.
I dont want anyone to develop this possibility just because I want it. In fact I want it to make it clear if it is possible or not. Lots of users would appreciate new feature on this phone to make it even bigger beast phone and now its just about to find out if it is possible or not. If its not thats not the end of the world .
Remember everybody here is doing such a things in free time.
