Windows Mobile Equivalent Apps (Equivalent to Symbian S60 V3) - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hello again,
As I mentioned in a previous thread, I’m due to upgrade my handset in the coming weeks from an N95 to the Touch Diamond (MDA Compact 4)... I have some really good apps on the N95 which I rely on a lot. I was wondering if anyone knew of any WM6.1 alternatives to the following apps...
Nokia Internet Radio
http://europe.nokia.com/A4668051
Hundreds of streaming radio stations over WiFi or HSDPA
Shazam ID
http://www.shazam.com/music/portal/page/default/template/pages/p/shazam_id.html
Music track identification - the app records a sample of the track and tells you the name and artist via data connection WiFi or HSDPA.
Nokia Sports Tracker
http://www.nokia.com/A4388200
GPS Tracking of my sports activity (running / cycling etc) routes viewable in google earth via KML file.
Nokia Conversation
http://www.nokia.com/A4568203
View text messages listed by contact as opposed to going to inbox and sent items separately
I've already checked my other key apps:
Shozu
JoikuSpot
Route 66
And they all appear to support HTC devices such as the Cruise and the Kaiser etc, so I should be ok there.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated - not sure if i should of used a different forum for this really.... if a mod feels ti should be moved please go ahead

1) the original wm 6.1 text messaging shows you both the send and received at the same time and you can also see them while you r typing so you could reply back to the received questions
2) there is also a program for internet radio on the htc, i have used it and it is perfect. it think it is spb radio. check it out

Excellent, thats a good start Thanks!

Anyone have any alternatives to Shazam and Sports Tracker?

Alternative for sportstracker is RUNGPS

Ah sweet! Thanks lappie!!

after some searching i found tthese....theres probably better ones but the results looked promising:

http://thinkabdul.com/2007/06/17/fr...t-album-info-of-recorded-music-clipsongsound/

Another nice Symbian application is Nokia's Lifeblog, overall due to its ability to get synchronised with the PC client... Is there any equivalent in the PPC world?

Thats brilliant, thank you very much

Ya truly something like Nokia Lifeblog in PPC will be truely appriciated..

New here and also looking into moving off Symbian and over to WM... scary stuff ;-)
We do a lot of geocaching and having Geocache Navigator installed on the N95 is great (when a phone signal is present of course) to find cache's close by or check on cache details without having to take printed pages along. It will also guide you via a compass and bearing to the Lat Long location of the cache...
Any apps specifically for geocacher's that will interact with the geocahce web site / data base ?
cheers

Shazam ID works on Diamond
I have Shazam ID working on the Diamond. One problem.... I have to reset the Diamond each time I use the program. For some reason it will not shutdown properly because it is not made for a touch phone. Maybe someone knows how to use it better???

the version you are using (musidid) looks like absolute crap on the VGA screen. very distorted. Its so sad there is no decent version of shazam on windows mobile - I used to use it all the time.

Listen to Sirius on your Wizard with SiriusWM5

If you have a subscription to Sirius Satellite Radio you can stream it on your Wizard with this great application.
To install it extract the files to your computer and copy them to a folder on your wizard. You can create a shortcut in your program menu for easy access.
SiriuCE does the same
SiriuCE does the same and has a much nicer interface. I have tried them both and much prefer SiriuCE plus it supports TCPMP which is my preference of media players. I must say that since none of the Sirius radios support Bluetooth and my 8125 does it is quite the hot setup especially with Summiters kick butt AKU 2.3 ROM providing much better WiFi speed then previous editions.
tried both and you're rite ce is the better of the 2
[g ride - why is your signature so big? It makes the board quite unreadable. I think it would be polite to resize it slightly.
]
I like SiriuCe better. Nicer interface.
Can you stream over edge or GPRS? or just wifi?
Thanks
Thanks for the SiriusCE update. I hadn't used the old one in a while and when I tried it again a few days ago, found it no longer worked. Now I know why. Between this and Sling Mobile, I barely even use this thing as a....phone?....anymore.
Any idea of how much data (kb/min?) is used?
I'm just using a 3 Meg package and wonder how long it will last...
about: SiriusCE
Thanks for share the cab my friend..
Both are dead, anyone know where to find an updated copy?
yeah nevermind found a working version of siriuswm5, http://forums.geekstoolbox.com/
so far its great ;D
Is SiriusWM5 Still Working?
It used to work on iPaq but not anymore. I get "Connection failed." when I try to login. I can login using Sirius Yahoo Widget and on sthe sirius website so I know my account is good.
Is SiriusWM5 working for anyone? I don't see any recent posts so it probably is, but I can't figure out why it stopped working for me.

Igo8 final review

Nav N Go, the makers of the iGO mapping solution just unveiled iGO8. iGO8 is unique in that it provides not just 2D and tilted 3D maps, but realistic 3D maps with building renderings in select US cities. Of course, not all buildings are rendered, but it looks realistic enough to actually help guide you along the way, especially in busier areas.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUzQkR0H2S0&feature=related
Anyone know how to make skins for the igo8 final? or if tmc works with the tilt
If it does run, it will probably run like cr*p in the 3D view w/o the display drivers that the Kaiser lacks. Regular TomTom is bad enough. My old Axim X5 runs it smoother than my Tilt!
Got it running looks nice but struggles like hell on certain parts and when you have loads of buildings showing up its working hard. I still use tomtom still.
i have it.
I have installed I Go on my Kaiser.
Works a treat and looks great. I think it is as fast if not faster than TomTom.
and i love the TEXT TO SPeach when it says the mane of the road, not just turn right. The 3D mountains look great as well.
PS i dont work for I Go either.

The iGo clearly does not come with spell-checker ;-)
iGo8 - 2008
I've just installed iGO 2008 ...
For a couple of reason ... firstly, to watch the 3D buildings everyone is raving about and secondly, to see if it will run on the TytnII (since the official site states it can).
Verdict:
Yes, iGO8 2008 does run on the TytnII and better still ... unlike the previous version, it does not object to HTC Home engaged in the today screen
The initial menu screen is split into four boxes, 'Find', 'Route', 'Manage' an 'Setting', with soft buttons for 'Map/Cockpit screen' and 'Exit'. The navigation screen is also somewhat different, almost like a flight sim cockpit view. The SD card directory structure has the buildings held seperately.
GPS locked on quickly and auto-set to port 4 but with a high baud rate .. this can be changed though, since I found Tomtom wasn't a huge fan of fast baud rate comms to the GPS.
Some nice features like a menu shortcut to add 'speed camera locations with speed limit reference' on the move, and verbally announcing the GPS dis-engaging ... it's early days and I'll feedback any major issues, but if the gossip that Tomtom are going to discontinue the development of Tomtom for the PDA are true, then it looks like iGO will be the way to go.
I've enclosed a link to the manual if anyone wants to look at it [from the official site @ 1.4mb]

Thank you for your feedback and I do like igo8 alot better then the old igo. But I wish they will add more building for the usa maps
Hi all,
I made a data.zip for IGO8 which is working with rezolution 240_240 - http://rapidshare.com/files/115724040/data.zip.html
It isn't look like the original ones, but this is just the beginning.
One bug - after pushing the button Set point as a final destination on navigate screen the program shows an FFUI error - press OK button and everything will be OK.
I'm starting to fix size ot some menu bottons and to improve the skin at all.
Everybody who like to help is wellcome.
Enjoy
outlook contacts
when i put mine outlook contacts in mine phone abouth 200 pices i wil get a error when i start igo8 when i remove the contact's from mine phone all works fine
i did try to remove htc home i won't work
when i put mine contacts on to mine sim it works all fine
i have software NoThrills_WM61_NLD_V3 on mine phone
rom version 3.14.172.0.nld
radio version 1.65.14.06
can sombody help please its to strainge
or is there a good software version that wil work dutch software is no pree
As a dedicated Tomtom user I decided to load up IGO8 and have a look to see how it was and so far I am pretty impressed.
It certainly picked up the GPS signal a lot quicker than Tomtom 6.032. It was very accurate and I like the "You are speeding" feature.
So far I have not had Text to speech operate, not sure why, might be the maps here in Australia.
I would like more choice with voices (I tend to like John Cleese in Tomtom).
It is a real memory hog though, I only run a P3600i and when IGO is running I have 3 meg of free operating memory so it really isn't practical for me at the moment. Maybe whn I can get my hands on the HTC Diamond.
I will give more feedback once I have used it a bit more.

I forgot to mention in my ealier thread
... I decided to try out the 'practical' side of the iGO and engage the voices whilst being a passenger in my Wifes car on the Motorway (autobaan/freeway)
... My Wife was not a happy bunny to hear a complete stranger out of the PDA telling her she was speeding !!
I'll have to find out if the software has a 'don't p*** your wife off' function ... mine took years to perfect
I too stopped using TomTom in favor or the latest iGO, the speed warnings, the reading of the street names and not just simple "turn left or right", the buildings and ofc, the 3d terrain is what for me played the major part in swapping over, being able to see if I should be going up or down, below or above another road, is really helpful in new places.
iGo runs fine on my kaiser, up to 3-4 building in medium distance works fine, more then that and it begins to struggle, but, since there aren't many spots with buildings displayed where I drive everyday, it doesn't really bother me.
Oh, and for the dude who asked, TMC doesn't obviously work since we got no FM tuner, and there's no TMC over the interweb in iGo from what I can see
error
i have install igo8 and found these issues.
when i exit out of igo it changes my volume to mute.
when i change the time zone it does not save and it changes the time zone on my device.
The timezone issue is known and their site as a really good explanation on how to fix it, all sites should be searched, not just this one
Just add this to your Storage Card\iGO8\Sys.txt
Code:
[timezone]
sync_os_timezone=0
reset_os_timezone=0

I know that there are version 7 maps for USA available including 3D buildings etc. but not v8 as yet.
I don't think this would be a problem as I've had iGO8 on v7 and v8 of the UK (with buildings) and they both work, so the answer would be yes, but not up to date maps.
Demo - There was a beta version that expired 1st May 2008 or there abouts.
** Note ** USA is available as individual 'States' and not in a single package like Tomtom.
So has anyone been able to get V7 US maps (state-by-state) working on V8 Final or was everyone who's had success with the At&T Tilt (seen a few Tilts in signatures) using the beta version?

I ended up ditching IGO for miomap. Runs faster
I've been using it for a week and a half now and I'm going to say that Igo8 is the best out there. I love it. It works better and faster than tomtom. Also the 3D buildings look fine and perform fine on my phone.

Music ID/Shaznam for Diamond?

Anyone got an app that works like Shaznam/MusicID for HTC Diamond? The MusicID app doesnt run properly due to the VGA screen - plus its for smartphones, so doesnt support the touch screen.
The iPhone has a real nice Shaznam app to identify songs and I would love to see this for the diamond. Anyone have a solution?
bump!! Bump bump!!!
I've installed the smartphone version of this and yeah like u say it doesn't work 100% but if you run it and you see SONG ID image you can then press the LEFT button it'll start listening to the track and ID it if possible.
Its not idle and like you I'd like a proper version of this for the diamond too but just thought i'd put my 2p in.

Im bumping again - perhaps someone could develop something that supports the Diamond's VGA screen. Sadly this seems to be a case of iPhone getting better support than Windows Mobile.. again.
it's right. the iHypePhone always have better support...
anyway, i wrote a letter to shazam and asked them if they are planning to make a vga app or release a new music id and the answer was that nothing is in plan with winmo at the moment. duh

Get used to this. iPhone has really stolen windows mobile's thunder. The once thing we WM users had over the original iphone was 3rd party software support... now hardly anything new is being developed commercially for WM.
Shazam MusicID for Diamond

Thank you
EDIT: Sadly it is a trial only :/

It is under "at&t music". I tested and the software does lock itself after the trial expired.
It can be simply unlocked by removing a bunch of registry entries in somewhere near HKLM\Software\MusicID.
It should be really simple to write a little app that whipe this out of the registry and then launch the application; but I do not have Visual Studio setuped right now and furthermore, I have no experience in mobile dev.

The entire key HKLM\Software\MusicID
This key does not exist until you ID a song, and it contains expiration informations. There may also be a way to fool expiration by replacing the values.
If one could write a very simple app that clear this reg key & then start the musicid app it would be great. It may even not be illegal because the binary will remain untouched. I would be pleased to pack everything in a shiny little cab!
Hmm 'Sorry, ID not found. Try Again!' I can't identify any song
Guys
Juste take a looh there
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423342
I did it!
I managed to have it working by myself.
Here is the working cab, it should work out of the box. If you use this cab the shortcut will be created directly in the program folder instead of at&t and it will be uninstallable.
Enjoy!

TomTom 930 SMS and profiles in Bluetooth

I see in CommManager Settings>Bluetooth>Profiles>Supported Profiles, alot of profiles. I have TomTom GO 930 with hands-free by bluetooth where I can make and receive calls...with 3G enable I can use the TomTom services (like weather, etc) but I have in TTom an option to read and send a sms and is not allowed because (maybe) fault another profile. Can you people say something about my request?!
Thanks
I would also like to be able to get my messages off my Diamond onto my TomTom, I have the GO 530 though.
Anyone able to help with this?
I have this same problem with car-ser Blue&Me (Fiat Bravo) - it cannot load sms from phone with windows mobile?
Can anybody help this (jetwaremobile nothing change). Mayby sombody can modify some settings to view effect?
I think nobody say 'I do...this' and we have a profile to read/send SMS in TomTom GPS
anything...?
http://www.tomtom.com/phones/compatibility/phones.php?brandId=22
It is not possible.....the full tomtom compatibility with bluetooth is only for few phones models
It's hard to tell what is or isn't compatible. Their list is ridiculously out of date!

How you guys got your Diamond working with go930 ?
Hi Guys
I also have HTC Diamond and ToTom go930. I can not get them working together as a hands free. They paired together first time and after i maid my first call go930 rebooted and after that it does not want to dicsover or connect to my phone properly (or at all). Deleting and recreating profiles on both devices did not help.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks

Useful Applications, Games, Task Managers, Calendars Needed

hi, I have an HTC Fuze and I'd like to add useful applications to it. What's a good task manager? Are there any free/fun games for the Fuze out there? What applications do you find useful?
I currently have TF3D, Diamond Tweak, HTorch 3.2 and Tipster.
I'm fairly new at WM 6.1 so any assistance would be appreciated.
Unfortunately my crystal ball is currently in repair, could you be a bit more specific?
You could start with reading, or use the search option.
(I don't know what you find useful or like so no suggestions)
I'd like to know what kind of applications people have on their devices. I suppose I'd Like a better task program, free games. I'm not sure which programs are useful, but could you tell me what programs you are currently running?
So far I have added Google Maps (great app for navigating and very accurate gps) and I am planning on MS Outlook for mobile as the phones built in mail program is having issues with government mail servers ( i cant send new mail).
I am also working on software to use gps to track my distance and time when I go running.
for podcasts and rss, viigo
i would recommend dashwire if you're into mobile backup and such
PANDORA free definitely (resolution is a bit funky)
tickertape for stocks
diamondcubes
pedometer on occasion
total commander for registry tweaks or just a far better alt. to file exp.
stopwatch
lightsaber
gyrator 2 for full acce. function.
lumos for better backlight manage
skyfire for faster browsing
weather database editor for more cities
herg62123 for different clocks, sliders, and a landscape tf3d
his slide to answer port from blackstone.
that's about all the helpful things i can think of. hope this helps.
Do you need GPS for google maps to use it? Where can I download google maps for my Fuze? It seems that my Fuze is a bit a sluggish, how can I up the speed for TF3D? I already have Diamond Tweak and TF 3d Config.

the best way to really wake up your Fuze is to flash with custom rom. Course HardSPL first.
How do you input your signature? What is a Hard SPL?
Dude I don't mean to be rude but you really need to search. Alot of the answers you're after can be found in the wiki or the sticky threads at the top of the forums.
This is one of the best forums around with some of the most helpfull members, but with questions like this and members who refuse to search people wont stay nice for long.

Here you go http://www.letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=site%3Aforum.xda-developers.com+raphael+hardspl. Look at the first link. You input your signature using the UserCP on the left hand side of the brown bar at the top. and as for games and such, several people have Links to 4shared accounts in their signatures. Feel free to browse, download, and experiment.

You can use NoniGPS Plot for this, it will automatically put it into a KML file for insertion to Googleearth or googlemaps. Give it a try might give you some ideas for new addons, also i'd love to see your gps software when finished GL!
As far as this post goes programs i find useful are, notepad , I don't use a lot of apps excep imap pusher service, and also for games i really enjoy G-Invaders. Manila customizer is a good one for customizing your touch flow 3D. Also Pandora, is an amazing music streaming software even over edge network it works quite well. I use that on my decomissioned kaiser, over WiFi.
Hope that helps!
