[Q] Is there a Zune controller?? Like the iTunes controller? - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello again everyone,
Always come here when all searching fails! So thanks!
Subject sort of says it all...but is there one out there?? Can't believe theres one for iTunes and not a proper one for Zune....I mean one that looks built in so we can get some WP7 and Windows 7 integration going on here.
Thanks again all!!

Any news out there devs???
I think theres a lot of people who want this!!
thanks

yup Zune desktop is awesome, I now use it religiously for music and videos.

Remote Control on the Marketplace does it and even shows the album art in the background. It also controls VLC, WMP, WMPC, Sound Mixer, and PowerDVD.

Theres an app called remotely possible. You can control most media programs. It costs $5. Its not as responsive as youd like but it does work

Which one are you talking about I cannot find it. The ones I've seen none of them look as slick as the iTunes one....
Hopefully someone out there is making it

Ah, one would think that MS integrates across platforms. They don't and this is a major cause of frustration by users. Save yourself the aggrevation and only think of MS as providing stove-piped solutions. This will make your life better. Of course I haven't been able to do this and I get frustrated at least once a day because of it. I'm guessing that I'm too far down the caring path and it's going to take a major effort to get over this affliction.

its called remote control and the icon is a broken up antenna in white on a black background. Dev. name is Jerome laban I believe. It works great and looks fine. I don't give a crap what it looks like. It works awesome for all the programs it controls and is easy to setup. That's what matters.

It's still a work in progress, so that feature is probably to come and/or not implemented yet. My guess ..

Just put an "01-" in front of the first track file name, "02-" in front of the second track file name, and so on...

Note Taking Program ~ Finger Friendly

Guys,
I'm looking for a decent 'Note Taking Program' and was wondering what you would recommend for the HD2?
What I need is something that I can drop into the favorites on the Home Tab.
Some of the Note Taking Programs don't appear to look 'finger friendly' so I suppose that would have to be the main criteria.
Thanks in advance.
I've been just using the inbuilt Notes app to draw/write my notes. Not perfect, but it gets me by for the time being. until someone creates a good touch based one.

Are you talking of the OneNote App?
Only trouble with OneNote for the Phone is it's not a 'finger-friendly' application (as in I can't find a way to draw directly on the screen).
Thanks..
I think he means notes
( think its in a folder called Outlook, otherwise /windows )

it's not that brilliant on the HD2, but you can get by with it.
I was going to suggest PhatPad, I mean c'mon what could *sound* any more finger friendly? but it's not that good

Yes... I agree with both Nighthawk and your good self. It's not that good of a program.
You can't really do any 'finger-writing' properly unless you have the zoom at max (which then hampers it's use as a quick note taking program).
Nice to have the audio recorder there though...... but ohh do I so wish there were something better.
Would to know one as well!!! Need to take notes!
Think this may be what you are looking for! Very simple, very small file size, very finger friendly and freeware plus it looks alot better on our HD2's than what it looks like on the authors web site! Cab attached.

You can get evernote for windows mobile. I'm just about to try it out.

If you want a cool drawing 'touch' app, this might just be it.
I am buying this right now.

Agree......Nice one Nighthawk.
I too have been searching for a much friendlier art tool. This could well be it.
I know we are going off-topic here (deserves it's own topic) but one thing I like is it's not cluttered, quite simplistic but very good at dynamic drawing.
The only thing I have noticed that needs addressing is when you role back any mistakes (unlimited Undo), any ink that was drawn on screen outside of the 'Undo' box is left on screen and you can't get rid of it.
Did you notice this too Nighthawk?
Edited:
I've just sent off a message to DynaInk Support explaining the above problem.

It is sort of strange. When I was using WM5, the OneNote can draw. In fact it defaults to draw. So everytime I need to switch mode to type text. Now in HD2, I can't find a way to draw anything.
PS: the version I currently have on WM5 is 12.0.4518.1010; the version that came with HD2 is 12.0.4518.1155. However, neither of them can draw! I am still trying to dig up where I got the draw-able OneNote on WM5.

in my post you were replying to.
But maybe I was mistaken. The drawing application I used was the Outlook Note program, which also exists on HD2. However, the line drawings are very ugly.
While trying to use EverNote again (last time I tried it on Windows), I notice the forum messages on EverNote for WM and decided I had better stay away from this software.

[REQUEST] [APP] Looking for "TV Forecast" like app

I've been looking for a LONG time for an android app like this. Anyone have any idea where I might be able to find one.
This is a pic from the iphone app which basically shows when the next new show airs on only specific shows you enter in the app.. nothing else is there like on the TV guide app where you browse channel/time..
Thanks for all your help.
I'm looking for something smiliar... Would be awesome if someone could create an app that works a bit like http://www.pogdesign.co.uk/cat/
Of course I could always load up the website, but would be better to have it as an app. If someone has the time and skills to do a proper app with a good UI I'd definately donate a beer or two.
tvguide.com has an app on the marketplace. There's also tvlisting from jersey productions.
I tried those apps and they arent really what I'm looking for, for anyone who has had an iphone and used "Tv forecast" you will know what I mean..
Instead of sifting through channels 1-900ish trying to find the right show you input it into the program and it comes back with the next NEW showing.. nothing more, no bloating of other random channels you dont care about.
I'm just looking for a similar android app, that would make my iphone -> n1 transition really complete!
the tvguide.com one allows you to put in favorites and it shows you the next showings.
Shoot an email to the dev of TV Forecast, maybe they'll port it.

Great suggestion, missing some features from tv forecast but the best I've seen yet.

Okay, this is bad a**! I always forget when shows I like will be on. Thanks for the heads up on it.
try TV Show Favs from the market, there is a free ad supported version with 14day premium trial inside.
this app in my experience blows tv forecast out of the water, and is so good i opted to pay for the premium version. even though all the features you want and need are free!
Check this App out. Works perfekt for me. SeriesGuide:

Windows Phone 7 Style Music Player

[via Engadget]
This music player looks GREAT on the transformer:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/20/windows-phone-7-style-music-player-for-android-arrives-from-the/
nice...looks really nice on a tablet...hope the albumart will be a little bigger, but really nice...
It's brilliant! Amazing on my Galaxy S as well!
Even though it's not even Beta, It's one of the best 3rd party Music apps there is on Android.
It looks and works nice but I don't really like how small it is on the big honeycomb screen. Plus Plus some reason my album arts are not going in full screen for me. I definitely would wanna try it on my phone though.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
cannot view its control(Start,Pause...etc) on Wildfire
what's the actual name of this music app......the link on engadget goes nowhere.
found it, FEDE MUSIC is the name of the .apk you download.....nice of Engadget to actually give the name of the app, sloppy journalism, as usual.
thanks for posting that...interesting app.
Once Albumart and controls get proper fitting, this will be a spanking app!
Thanks.

The reason engadget didnt mention the name, is because the developer who made it, hadn't named it yet.

Sorry, bad form on my part. I should have included a link that refers to the app in the original post... I was lazy - BUT it seems the developer has removed his tweet with the download link.
Because of this, I hesitate uploading anything as it is against forum rules to post files without permission.
Sorry, bro. Do some searching, you may be able to find it.

[Q] News360

How do you configure this app? I love the concept of this app, and it looks like it has a lot of potential, but I would love to just get news that I want to get, and delete the other news.
Can someone help a brotha out?
There is no functionality for configuring the sources, sadly. You can, however, do so through other apps such as Pulse.

That's a shame. This is a very good app, but the limitations of it puts it in the "meh" category.
The best Ive done with it it to add custom categories, and move the ones you dont want all the way to the bottom. It kinda helps
I like News360 a lot, although I have problems with the widget not loading.

It's more of a newsreader than a feedreader. It's like buying a newspaper. You get everything
If you want to add your own sources, try Newsr, Pulse or Taptu.
