Hi,
I've just finished work on an app for windows mobile that allows you to view the status of your friends on xbox live.
It's an actual app, rather than a web browser pretending to be an app, that shows an iPhone style list of all your friends gamertags. It allows you to see whos online, what game they are playing, what they are doing in that game, their gamer picture and gamer score.
Version 1.2.1.0
Features Added:
* Notification auto closes after 10 seconds
* Notifications have a button to take you to application for further details
* Application will notify you when a new version is available for download.
Bugs Fixed:
* Fixed memory leak
* Performance inprovement for scrolling
* Performance improvement to startup time
* Fixed problem with touch sensitivity on VGA devices
* Improved icon for VGA devices
* Minor tweeks
Version 1.2.0.0
This update adds an online notification system. Now when your friends come online you will get a Notification pop up to tell you whos just come online.
Features Added:
* Can run in background
* Auto refreshes GamerTags status, using configurable refresh interval
* Generates Windows Mobile Notifications when friends come online
* Notifications can be Enabled or Disabled
* Useability enhancements.
Version 1.0.1.2
Bugs Fixed:
Fixed startup bug, which occured on some devices
Fixed VGA QVGA display problem
Version 1.0.1.0
Features Added:
Trial mode added allowing users to test out the application.
The application requires .net 2.0, so if you are using anything thats older than windows mobile 6 you will need to download and install .net compact framework 2.0 or higher from Microsoft here
Attached is a screen shot. For more information or to download my app please go to my site: http://www.fehnerssoftware.co.uk
finally a gamer has the need.. just like me
thanks bud.. downloading it right freakin now.
Edited
ohhh wait...
i would have to see it in action before i spent a dime.. sorry mate
this would be really cool if i didnt have to buy. At least let me try it first, to see I its worth it. Funny the app store for the iphone have very good xbox friend apps all for free.
I've been dying for someone to develop a true WinMo app for XBL friends list. I'm excited to try it, but do wish there was a demo. will there be game stats and messaging integration?
Well I would suspect iPhone owners paid for it, so why not cough up- if you want it?
I'm going to have to agree with the "try before you buy" feeling going on here.
At least take a video showing how the app works on your own phone please.
Although this would be an awesome app, I have been looking for a program or script that sends me an sms whenever a specific friend is on XBox Live so I can join up, any one heard of something that does that?
Hi all,
Thank you for the positive response
I've taken on board all your comments and aim to produce a limited feature trial version, which will allow you to try it out before committing to a purchase.
I will post back here when I have made the updates.
Iphone people got it for free Micosoft stepped in and made the company give the application for free

ya i like that.. if you remember way back in the day the original xbox and orignal xbox live did that.. sent an sms, and IMed you on msn..
I like the idea of the app. But it doesn't seem to do enough for me to pay for it. I mean.. there are much more useful apps on this site(and others) for the ppc that are free.
I tip my hat to you sir. Nice looking app. You have inspired me to work on an open source version for myself.
Version 1.0.1.0 - trial mode
Hi again,
I have now updated my site with version 1.0.1.0 of my xbox live friends status app.
Version 1.0.1.0, will run in a trial mode while un-registered, so you can try it out. It is limited to displaying two gamer tags.
Hopefully this will give you a feel for the app.
For more information or to download my app please go to my site: http://www.fehnerssoftware.co.uk/mygamertags.shtml
Nice! I was waiting for something like this. Going to try it out.
Thank you!

I accidentally uploaded an early version which had a bug if you were using the app for the very first time.
The bug has since been fixed and a new version uploaded not long ago.
Are you able to try the latest version?
well my first dl was at 11pm cst.. also just re-dled same error

Hmm strange I know of a number of people now using this without issues.
What device are you using? Are you running this on a windows mobile phone?
Any chance you could scroll down on the details screen for the error so I can see the full call stack?
htc touch pro

Thanks for that.
It seems the way I get the devices unique serial number is not working for your device. I have an idea of how to get this working on your device.
I'll get working on it
Thanks.
I've put up a new level on my site which should fix the crashes on startup some people were experiencing.
Please let me know if it you experience any problems.
Thanks.
ok...
i did get this one to install and run...
however i have an issue.
you have it set to simply look up gamertags.. which is cool... however, I, like thousands of others, have set up my profile so that only friends can see if the person is online.
so genericly putting in gamercards wont work for me as i wont really know who is online..
unless the app can see its ME looking..
for example... I put in my gamertag.. and it said i was offline... but i wasnt, however if your not on my friends list.. i appear offline.
and i dont remember if it did or not, but i dont think it said what game they where playing.. again if you do fix it so i can see my friends online, if i cant see what game they are involved in.. its no good as well.
i gave you alot of negative, which is ****ty of me..
so i do want to say from what i can see it looks awesome.
Hi,
After searching for days i'm giving up. Please help ?
What i want:
I wanna have a notification icon in the taskbar, just like the BT-icon:
"if GPS is active then show GPS-icon".
I understand that the trick is to monitor the use of the GPS Intermediate Driver. Who can and will help?
Thnx!
I hate to kick this, but please, can anyone of the developers enlighten me?
I'm gonna join the bandwagon for this, I would also like this feature.

Thnx! I hope more will join us, and more will dive in to this to actually get a solution
That's one of the things I'm missing!
Or maybe flash the notification light swiftly 3 times every 10 seconds to symbolize GPS activity.. My previous phone had such led and it was great to actually be able to see what's happening, or that what should happen actually does happen.
I still want this! Is there any developer....?
I want it to
I found it here. It worked on my Topaz but it would be nice if the icon is a satelite instead of just a red/yellow/green dots
I have contacted the author and hope he responds
Hello everyone.
I too needed an application like this and since I had no luck finding one on the market, I decided to write the app myself. You can find on the market by the name GPS Monitor Free by Illyrium. What the app does - it activates itself as soon as GPS is in use and deactivates when GPS is no longer in use. While GPS is in use, the app shows a notification icon with the satellites in view. For the moment this is all that the app does, but I am working to add some other features to it.
The app is free for the moment - and will be free (even the pro version) for everyone that helps me by sending me bugs/features.
If you have any ideas, you are more than welcome to pass them to me an I will try to implement them as soon as possible.
Cheers,
Adrian

Hello dragonro! I would love to try your app but i can't find it on the market. I've tryed different key words, different countries but no joy. I've searched on OpenMarket but i didn't found it there either... Where is it?

I found it but it's for Android. I just wondered why dragonro post it here
Does anyone have Sky by Mobile working on their Desire? I get a message that it's not compatible. Doesn't it work with Android?
Sky hasn't written a Sky by Mobile app for Android (yet).
Austin Reid has though. Check out Record It and Whats On on the Android Market.
Looks very good but cannot find Record It on the market even when I click Upgrade in Whats On.
According to the change log it is a protected app, which don't seem to be currently available to the Desire.
I'm using "Remote Recorder" at the moment as it's all that I could find available, but it leaves a lot to be desired.

I havent tried this but there is an option to allow unprotected apps. think its in the privacy part of settings
I know the setting you mean - to allow you to install apps from "other sources".
However, I think the issue at the minute is the market place. I believe, but could be wrong, that they don't currently allow Desire users to even see copy protected apps. I think that once they've updated the market place to know about this handset the app should show up.

I've installed it on mine and it works a treat!!
Only problem is that it doesn't have a programme guide, you have to search for the programme which isn't too much of an issue...!!

I logged in to the sky website the other day and used the web based remote-record function. This was just about workable on the phone.

Hiya,
go to Android Market and type - Remote Recorder...
It seems to do the job
Weird problem here. Since the update OTA, whenever I press the address part of a contact in People it opens the address in the HTC Locations app. Before it used to open it in Google Maps. Ideas?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I have this also. Can't find out how to switch the thing back either. Kind of annoying really because I just don't seem to click with the locations app.
ability to pick between Locations and Google Maps would be great. I am having the opposite problems with addresses in my Calendar opening in Google Maps instead of the HTC Navigation.
My suspicion is that HTC are attempting to put their app (which has potential to make them money via licenses) front and centre.
Sure, you can still use Google Maps but don't expect it to be integrated with Sense!

I've emailed HTC about this. If you're reading this, could you reply and say whether you're experiencing the same behaviour, please?

Yep. Address opens Locations. Don't know if it used to open GMaps, though, because I never use that feature (usualy I know how to get to the people in my address book ).
try going to the locations app and checking if there are any default settings set.
You can't change it.

Just checked and mine does the same. It used to open in Google maps. As you say, HTC are probably just pushing their own SW.
It would be be nice to be able to choose which mapping SW opened BUT it'd be even nicer if you could just *view* the full postal address in a window if it's too long for the one line in the People app! (There's another thread on this somewhere). When it opened Google maps you could touch the 'flag' and it would then open a text window with the address but I haven't found a way to do this with Locations yet .......
Why is such a simple thing not included, even as an option????? As someone here said, we usually know how to get to people in our *contacts*. Mapping is to find unknown addresses!!!!!
I feel a *request* to HTC coming on.....

Sygic Aura doesn't work on 1.72 either. Just keeps erroring out. Same software works fine on 1.32 and on Cyanogenmod. Not sure if its a coincidence but its a very strange one.
Ok found the problem.
Go to:
Settings
Locations
Check "Integrate google navigation with locations"
Then everything will be back to normal.

which Aura do u mean? I have tried 2.1 and it works perfectly... to be honest - not so perfectly while it crashed 2 times while browsing the maps and switching views (not normal driving usage); however it starts and goes well. Maybe u have to update the soft - there was an actualization a few weeks ago.
HTC replied:
Dear Dean *******,
Thank you for your email today.
I would advise on deleting the OTA update you received, to restore the firmware version back to the previous version. This then should allow you to access contacts from the previous settings.
If this does not work, you can always call our support centre on +44-845-890-0079, we are open Mon-Fri 9am-6pm, and Saturdays 9am-1pm.
Any further problems, don't hesitate to contact us again,.
To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number ******************.
Sincerely,
Steve
HTC
They have got to be kidding, right?
Definitive answer from HTC on this....
Dear Dean XXXXXXX,
I confirm that it does not integrate with google map application after the recent over the air update. I trust that this resolves your query, please do not hesitate to contact us again if required.

So there you have it. They did it deliberately!
i have the same problem. first of all google maps is faster loading and for me more convinient, because i am used to it. and the ****ty htc locations does not even reconize one of my adresses. always says adress xxxxxxx not found. they wanna push there own stuff i can understand it, but at least they should make sure it works
Any update for this problem ?
So I've recently published an application to the Android Market and I'm trying to get the app to pass Amazon's approval process, but they keep citing a force close bug on only the Motorola Atrix, which I don't have access to.
If anyone could help me out with testing the application on an Atrix and could possibly send a log or something, that'd be great. We could do some tweaks and then send it back to you to test again.
Really need your help guys.
The application is called GPS Phone Tracker in the Android Market; I would post a link, but this account hasn't reached the post threshold yet. Sorry!
If you're willing to help, just let me know in this thread and we can get started.
Thanks.
can't really find your app on the market.

Search for "gps phone tracker" and it should be within the top 5 results. When I search for it on the web version of the market it is 3rd. The publisher is "Cell Phone Solutions"
I wish I could link it.
On cm7 it launches fine. Not sure about stock.

To be more specific, the bug would occur when you click on the map button at the bottom of the main screen to view your (or your friends') positions on the map.
If you can get to the map without a force close, then maybe only the stock rom is affected by this bug.
Thanks for all your help so far, guys.

I'm stock. no problems with the map feature. checked my own location and had my friend install it on his phone so i could see if it was a problem with checking on someone else.
worked fine for me.
Tested on Atrix with CM7. The app crashed during the registration process after clicking on the send info button.
Registration completed successfully anyway, since I received the activation code.

Thanks a lot! I assume you sent the bug via the force close dialog, so it will show up in the dev section of the Android Market, correct?
As a side note, we've been trying to use an Atrix virtual device to debug the app and have had trouble launching it because the virtual machine doesn't like some of the GPS calls or something. You guys are helping me out a lot.
Anyone else that wants to try, it would still help to have a larger sample size.
Thanks!
Tested on Atrix running RedPill Hybrid, no issues.
