I believe the HTC Hero has a softkey-menu called "share" in the camera-function, for instant upload to facebook, twitter, youtube and so on.
Is there any way to add this to the TD2? A dedicated share-menu, without the hazzle of browsing your way to the site and then uploading. Or maybe a little upload-app could be written?
anyone?
i know shozu can achieve this - but it would be good to have something built into the manila software...
For others interested, I found a solution to this one, at least for me. I've used ShoZu earlier, on symbian, in which you had to open shozu, click upload, browse your album, and then upload. So I didn't bother trying that at first, because for that I could just use the Microsoft Facebook app.
But, I downloaded ShoZu yesterday, mostly for fun to see how it is on winmo. Nothing apparantly different.
BUT, when I snapped a picture later in the day, I discover that ShoZu is automatically linked with your camera! As soon as I'd taken the picture, within a second, a ShoZu-menu popped up, asking if I wanted to share the photo(to facebook, which is my default in ShoZu. You can however choose whichever social site you prefer). And Shozu was not running beforehand.
As neat it would be to have this in the manila-menu, I think this was even better. You don't even have to click your way to a share-menu, all you have to do after taking a pic/video, is press "yes" and it's instantly uploaded!
You can also choose to add tags and info before uploading.
anyone know why zune dosnt display all of my album backgrounds? how can i fix it. some albums work others dont. help!
Been wondering this myself, all my music has the correct tag data and album art. However the tile still dislpays the artwork for a track I played days ago
I've played dozens of albums/tracks since
I have the same thing ?
I like joe cooker put to see his face for ever .
WP7 Zune really needs an update to sort out these sort of issues. it would be better if it had the same "find info" and "find album art" option which it has on the PC zune software. theres got to be a way......
You will have to subscribe to Zune Pass to see this working. The backgrounds change when you're streaming music from different artists. There is a free 14 day trial. I have subscribed & its amazing. Give it a try.

You don't need the pass for the backgrounds. However to save memory power network use or something it only downloads the art when you go to play the track and then it will only do that if you are on wifi or have a great connection. This is at least how i have come to see it.
I have also found though if you leave zune open on your pc and sync a again a couple of mins later it pushes the art across. I had a similar thing with my zune hd where it took a few syncs to get all the data but this i think is because it has to download more and so to keep it fast just gets the basic data then picks the rest up afterwards.
Same problem here...
I have a zune hd..and 90% of my songs on my zune hd have background and artist information...
Then, i bought my Mozart...and I made a sync with my computer...but only 2% of my music have background!!!
What's going wrong? Same computer, same library, same music...but on my zune hd, i have the background...but nothing on my mozart!!
Same here as well.
Strange thing is, it worked fine for the first day, now it's stopped? I'm stuck with the same background picture on the music hub of my Mozart.
I also can't get Zune on my laptop to change backgrounds? Tried playing music from marketplace, playing from my collection, buying a track from the marketplace. Nothing seems to work? \i've tried with and without Zune pass as well.
Also, does anyone else have a problem with album art displaying on the now playing screen? I can see my album art everywhere else on the music hub, just not on that screen? It's just a black square which if I tap shows the 3 symbols (repeat, shuffle and the heart symbol I think)
Same problem here. Zune really needs to be updated to correct this issue.
I nonetheless found a way to improve things:
- When you open Zune on your PC select "Collection":
- Right click on each of the Album of ur Collection and select "Find information on this album" then save the info.
Bu anyway, many artists are missing and do not appear (e.g. Sparklehorse)
I also tried a soft names "Zune Social Tagger" but it messed up my tags because some Tags used by ZUNE are actually wrong (weird but true) (e.g. it will replace Smog by Bill Callahan)
I tried the Wifi Thing like someone mentioned and it worked but only for one artist paolo nutini. will keep trying. what might be of note is that it worked for one of his albums but not another of his albums. anyway in case peole are not sure what i mean i have now uploaded 2 dics to show the difference....please help! Zune looks so much cooler with artists backgrounds ....... as you should see, the muse album has no background pic. that image is just a reflection of my head. sorry.

Thanks for the info and pics. I'll keep trying as well!
1 thing tho, on your pics, you have the album art showing on your now playing screen, did you do anything different to get the art showing there or did it work automatically once you synced with Zune on your computer? I still can't get this to show for any of my albums??
ah sorry thats my now playing screen but it does also work on the album screens. some pics worked automatically and others dont. i really cant find a reason for this. i think syncing may be the best option though but cant prove it yet
Cool. Glad you've managed to get it working!
I'll keep at this and will post if I find anything interesting. I'm in 2 minds whether to take all the music off and start from the beginning!
it still only works for some albums hoping someone knows how to really make it work though im sure wp7 Zune needs an update

Thats the way the Zune HD works and is documented (works that way on mine, took about 5 days to load them all). After the sync ends, backgrounds, bios etc are slowly loaded. In the HD's case it is evident on the screen, where it goes from Syncing to Sync Complete (downloading data) to Connected (once it has stopped downloading).
What they recommend is to leave connected to the Zune software overnight. Of course, when it downloads from the market while streaming, it keeps them.
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/zune/thread/d0019422-1eb2-4604-8a81-7dedd04935d5 (for the HD)
another thing that helps aside from leaving the zune device or phone connected overnight a few times is waiting until you see the status as "Connected" vs "Sync Complete" Sync complete means it has the songs and basic data, Connected means it isn't doing anything. (on the phones you'll need to go to zune, pictures, or anyplace that brings up the sync status, while on the devices, you have no choice it goes there as long as its talking to the software)
I could be that your not letting the sync finish, i know with the zune HD
while it syncs it says syncing
once the music is on the zune it says sync complete
But you have to wait until it says just "complete" to get the backgrounds
also make sure all of the artist are tagged correctly
EDIT: i didnt see ckacey post, my bad
damn, i hope this all gets straightened out. That's a big thing for me. It's really frustrating when u spend all that time organizing and getting all the info correct for your deviced and then it still doesn't work.
This may also have to do with how your artwork is organized on your pc. I find that following a similar setup to iTunes (giving each artist/album) their own folder, really helps things like WMP and other devices to get the album art right.
Hi.
I solved the problem.
Go to Zune (at your Desktop) and select the album with the missing cover than right-click there. Now you should see "Add cover" (or something similar)(I have the German Version). You can now add the cover and after the next sync with your Windows Phone you will see cover at your mobile device.
Hope it works for you, too.
getting the album art isnt the problem, the problem is getting the Artist background working. some albums will only display the cover, when they should show both the cover AND the artist background. i have yet to try leaving my phone attached to the pc and leaving it on all night as this seems really silly. but will do it anyway.
most apps have the nearby feed, a great feature..
but most apps somehow get them wrong or have errors...
the ofiicial twitter app only works for a couple of times untill i get "error since date or id is too old" and i have to reinstall it to have it working again.
but it get the best results when it comes to local tweets,
still i would like to see on first sight where the tweet comes from.
so ive tried a couple of other good lookin clients.. but results got worse.
it maybe because of the api, but "nearby" is supposed to be in a radius, not 2 countrys away.
lets say motweets for example, im from germany but only shows netherland tweets, but it grabbing the right street, it just wont find nearby tweets...
anyone feel me?
Hello guys!
I've been looking for an app that will help me keep track of the tv shows I'm watching... When the next episode is due on, what episodes i've already seen and an episode guide of the episodes so far.
I haven't been able to find one so far... Do any of you have any suggestions??
Thanks you

I love TV Show Favs as well. It is the best app of its kind that I have seen on either the Android or the iOS market. I love how it syncs all your favorites to "the cloud". The widget is great as well. I'm not that interested in keeping track of what I've already seen, but this will even do that as well. I also love that it tells me when one of my favorites has been canceled or is "on the bubble", but do wish it had better options to alert me for season/series premiers. Ones that I have tried that do that though what to totally fill up my Google Calendar with so many cable repeats and such that I had to delete it and spend a lot of time cleaning up my calendar.

That is what I used on the iPhone as well. Really liked it. But I had issues where I'd have to totally set it up from scratch on a number of occasions. It's a real pain when you had as many favorite shows as I did.

oh ya me too, Atleast on Tv Shows it allows me to backup and restore.
By now all the search engines are getting annoyed with me. I've tried Sync [INSERT EVERYTHING HERE] Screens and not found what I'm after.
I have nice small Samsung Galaxy Mini that sits on my cars Dashboard, all nice and happy and enjoying the great floods of the UK. I have an Unknown MID Tablet with a large screen. What I''m trying to do is Write text on my small screen that sends Bluetooth message to my large screen android which is sat in the back of my car so that the person driving behind me can read it.
It sounds so simple when you put it like that.
The idea I had in mind was to show messages to the people behind, like, TURN YOUR LIGHTS ON, GET YOUR HEADLIGHTS OUT MY GEARBOX, etc etc...
Everything sounds so simple yet I can't find any app that doesn't anything like this. The nearest I can get is remote desktop and file syncing. Both miles away from what I want. Also it would be cool if it has speech to text, because Google loves my voice and gets it right 100% of the time.
Game on, Rage on.
So now that I've vented a little anger out on bad drivers and bad search engines. Where can I find or request/buy (but not make myself because jumping into Android is quite hard).
Thanks, XDA, you make me Happy,
Paul.
Sounds like something that billboard bot would come in handy for.

I'm not sure how you could get the message from your phone to tablet though.

Looks like a nice shinny app. I'm installing it now to see if there is anyway to import data into it. Maybe an RSS feed which is hosted on my small screen phone running PAM.
The amount of effort I put in to road rage.
I've started looking at LED Ticker apps but they all look the same, "here is some text that looks like LED and nothing else" sort of thing.
I'll keep hunting
