*********************************************************
2009-07-13 PLEASE USE THE NEW MAIN THREAD FOR FLIX HERE!!!
Flix has been updated today to 1.0.7.0
*********************************************************
Hi all.
I've decided to upload the first public release of "Flix". It's a movie listings app i've written, inspired by Cinemo, but for a UK audience. Be gentle with the comments, as it's my first foray into the Compact Framework!
First off, the features:
- Yahoo based
- Search based on Postcode or town
- GPS "Where am I" lookup
- Google Maps link from Cinema Info screen
- Call cinema direct from the app.
- Movies list cast info, Synopsis, runtime, and (optionally) a poster if Yahoo has one.
There is a little more detail on my blog (along with instructions) as I've just added it on there too.
I'm contemplating changing from Yahoo as their postcode lookups seeem to be getting more vague by the day. My own (PE8) has yielded nothing for the past couple of days even though it did previously - so if you find nothing matches up, check the Yahoo page to see what it does at that end.
You'll need to have CF3.5 installed for Flix to work.
Anyway, I'm happy to hear of any comments you have - if you have problems then let me know and I will try and help of course, and suggestions are always welcome too. As ever, if you find it useful then please consider donating!
Thanks
****UPDATE 2009-06-28****
Flix has just been updated! Changes:
-Now supports France and Germany
-Google Maps loading should work if it's installed in non-std locations
-Where Am I function now uses online Geocoding to work in the new countries
-Some improvements to parsing behind the scenes
I do still plan to update it to work in North America, however the Yahoo page is quite different so it's more work. Lots of Euro countries use the same layout as the UK so it's pretty quick to adapt. Expect Spain and Italy next...
As ever, if you find this free app of use, a small donation is appreciated (link above!)
This works really well for me. Nice one!
hey
this works very well..
in fact you need to say that its for more than uk. I am in west of ireland and it picked up one cinema. So it works for me too. I would like it to pick up the other major cinema though but still its very good... well done
Hi jmbilings, nice to see this hitting the streets, Great job so far.
Working well on my Diamond.
Oh and why not in dev and hacking?
Hi James, put a heads up over in the diamond forum.

Ah, thanks for that... I guess I could have posted it somewhere more helpful in the first place of course!
hey thanks very much this app will make life a little easier for me im always at the movies
i am using a diamond and for some reason it doesn't pick up my postcode. i am EN2 and it only recognises E10?
anyone have any ideas

same and im in N13, yet it still finds the nearest one (cineworld enfield)...
an idea: For future releases would it be possilble to have multiple cinemas saved, for example, it will find one near me, but not another near me, thus i have to go through the update process and lose the first cinemas results.
other than that, great app man, really useful

I think it is a problem on yahoos end, try going to their website and entering your postcode there and see what it returns, I seem to get better results if I configure flix using the name of my city rather than my postcode.
great app but unfortunately I'm in the usa, cinemo is alright but it feels like a first step and daniel gary is great for filling the gap in the app market with a needed app like this, but his is limited so far.
would it be very hard for you to tweek this a little to make it work in the states here. I really like your interface and features.
thanks
I installed this last night. What a great app! Works a treat. Many thanks for a very useful and easy to use application!!
Hi all - sorry i've not been back to check on this thread, I'm stupid busy at work and my home-time is currently spent sorting a website for a mate who was made redundant
Anyway - I still have plans for Flix ,including support for other countries. I didn't do the US out of the box because Cinemo existed, but if it's not too hard to add I will do, as it gives folk the choice.
Thanks to all who have tried it so far!
Problem with listing by cinema
First of all: great and very useful app.
One problem though: when I click on 'cinemas' and then 'Odeon Wimbledon' and then the clock icon for listings the software just crashes. Any idea why?
Thanks for looking into this issue, Alex.

Hi, I entered "SW19 2DX" as post code and it happened, but also when entering just "Wimbledon". I'm using this app on a HTC Touch HD by the way...
I also tried updating all data because I thought it might have been a problem with the data download - but unfortunately the crash still happens...
OK, i've just tested that here and it works fine.
I think it's not a data problem but something else.
What resolution is the HD offhand? There is a little bit of code that makes the button "bounce" bigger and smaller when tapped for UI feedback and I wonder if that does something odd on a different resolution... do you get any details of the actual error? (it may have a button at the bottom for more info; although you might need to install an extra .NET cab to give full details)
Have you tried going the other way as well? i.e. look up a movie and click the clock; does the same happen?
Cheers, and sorry you're having trouble!

Thanks so much for looking into this for me. The Touch HD has a native resolution of 480x800 pixels. When I go to a movie and then click on the clock it shows the times at Odeon Wimbledon just fine.
And very interestingly it now WORKS via the cinema route as well - how odd is that? Maybe because 'Wimbledon' only uses 1 cinema, whereas the post code found quite a few?
I'm just trying the post code again just to be sure...downloading data as we speak...
That is odd; I used the postcode as you mentioned and I get several cinemas:
Cineworld Wandsworth
Odeon Streatham
Empire Sutton
Odeon Wimbledon
However they all list showtimes without problem...
If it still happens, see if you can get any details on the error, otherwise i'm a bit stumped!
All good now, data download finally finished (b****y GPRS here at work) and no crashes anymore...
Maybe me restarting the device in the morning helped.
Sorry for troubling you and thanks again for trying to help. Keep up the good work as this is a great app!!!

Sweet! I've been wanting to try this app out.
Can anyone post this cab? Can't get the download sight to work.
I tried ... but the filesize is over the limit ( 5MB ) of the forum
It is almost 6MB.
I'm trying to upload the file all zipped up and having trouble ..failed twice ... maybe it's the long name.

is it with 30 days trail version?
Accuracy - terrible
I have found the accuracy of WCM terrible. Only cool to impress your friends, not really useable. It get 3s and 8s confused. Can read the letters in graphical company names even though they are clear. OCRs different amounts of information on repeat attempts.
An app like this needs to be rock solid if you plan on quickly capturing the data from a business card and then discarding the card.

I installed this file on my Vodafoen VPA Compact V, the icon appears in programs, I launched it, but nothing happens - does anybody know, if Vodafone somehow excluded this software? Did somebody make the same experience?

My experience has been pretty rock solid, even with cards with A LOT, and I mean a LOT of small text all over the place. The 3Megapixel camera on the Kaiser helps quite a bit.
Of course it's not always 100% with very cluttered cards, but enclosing the information you want by dragging a box around it, and telling it where to put the information in the contact makes it easy to fix any wrong assumptions it makes automatically.
So far I'm impressed. Of course, your mileage may vary.
I think this program is great. However, it always imports the first and last name in the "Last Name" box in Outlook (i.e. instead of putting John as the first name and Smith as the last name, it puts John Smith as the last name). Do I have the settings wrong? Is there a fix? Thanks for the help.
Bump.......
Corrupt .CAB
Tried to install the link above on my tilt, gives me an immediate 'unsuccessful'. WinRAR won't extract it either...any ideas?
Here you go. This is from my repository. Hope it is what you are looking for.
http://dc15.4shared.com/download/37234732/5fb4d3fe/BCR_World_Card.CAB
nevermind...
Works fine
worldcard mobile trial
The trial doesn't let you export the captured information to Contacts, so it's pretty useless as a trial. It will show you approximately how accurate it is by capturing the information. I tried it on a business card with three different sets of addresses and numbers. There were a few errors, but overall it does appear to save some time. Now if I could only get Penpower to actually fulfill my online order, so I can start using it....

hope you recognize the music, It's the songs that were used in doom, which were made into midi versions in the game.
nice. the playback looks smooth. do you know what frame rate you are getting?
and, where can I get that!?
Excellent! Didn't know that existed, I've downloaded and been playing it myself for the last hour. Controls take a bit of getting used to, but otherwise its ace!
For those searching for this game, search for gfdoom to get the program then doom1.wad for the maps.
hey Mikey! would you like to release your configuration files or are you using the default ones?
this game is tha bomb. first game I played on my first PC. imho doom2 wad is the best. I just love double barrel shotgun.
thx again
bro
Download link???
Settings???
Any more info to help the rest of us re live this timeless classic???
Is there an option to make it into landscape mode?

Giles! its nice to see you on the forum!
First off, I'd like to thank danits for showing me how to configure doom with the keyboard.
ok so to make it landscape you must go into options and toggle the quality from low and high. this wont really change the quality, it rotates the screen.
as far as configuring keys, check out the other doom thread I made in the Development and Hacking section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369438&page=2
there is a program you can use, that when you press a key, it gives you a code. this code is required for assigning keys in doom. see my examples in the other thread.
and here's my skin file, with keyboard support.
the controls are the same as all my other config's if you've used them.
and keep in mine ive made the windows key the button to flip the screen.
That is soo cool... thanks for the video =)

its really a shame the author never finished his last update. he came soo close, it was literally just a a couple days away, then he disappeared.
his updated WAS going to contain a much easier way to configure keys
proper keyboard support
MUSIC
improved peformance i think
he was also working on a zdoom port.
its too slow, but that would have been worked on too if he didnt disappear.
Where is the WAD
ANy one found where you can get a functional WAD file.
THe link to Jimmy software is either dead or just a front screen.
google.com
Ok after playing with it last night, it works, BUT
it does not work with gfDOOM Launcher.exe.
it gives me an "Doom Error"
You cannot -file with the shareware version.
register!
If I start from gfDOOM.exe it works but I can not get it to landscape mode
no matter what I do.
I dont know why is everyone makes this hard to get this game with all necessary files.
Careful. If you have posted a link to the full game its against the forum rules (it is warez).
I'd remove it if I were you.

Thanks in advanc,

I love where this app could go.
Suggestions:
* Rotten Tomstoes or Metacritic ratings and sortings
* Favorite theater settingd
* Next day or week times
* Imdb link
Thanks for the program!
Wow. pretty good app. its not heavy and closes easily. is this seriously your first? the only thing it lacks that i could think of is landscape support and a mileage option so i can search a few miles outside of my zip. im in st louis so i have the option of theaters in illinois and missouri. it wont read both. but thats nitpicking on my part. great app. and good timing also. my pocket express movie showtimes expired today...
Looks like is for USA only; any plans for a worldwide version?
I tried to install in a spanish rom touch pro. The installation was ok, but when I try to open the app it gives an error...
I`m very interesting in this app...
Thank you in advance
Regards
@jesusishere
I love your ideas for the most part. I am not sure I can pull next day or next week showtimes(it depends on if a theater reports them early or not). But I certainly like the idea of a rotten tomatoes or metacritic score and an imdb link. Thanks for the input!
@justin747
I hadn't really considered landscape support that necessary since it doesn't require in text input throughout the app. What would you use it for exactly?
@DANDANA
I would love to implement a worldwide version. It's certainly something to think about
@jrbarricane
What error did you get when you opened the app?
Well, if i try to open the app without a connection, it gives me an error, but I can't tell you becouse it says that i need to have the .neterrormeseges... or something like that, installed (not the .net 3.5 that I do have it...).
If I open the app with a connetion (activesync or wifi) then it opens, but when I try to see the file of a movie, then gives me same error...
Sorry for my horrible english... I do my best...

Yes, I just found the issue with movies with no showtimes in the area giving an error. I'm working to fix it right now.
also do you think you could possibly add:
Directions to the theater?
searching by specific movie? (To see where it is playing)
Searching by specific theater? (That one special theater you like)
Ill let you know of anything else i can think of.

"Searching by specific movie"
Isn't that how it works right now? You scroll to the movie you want, pick it, and there is a dropdown box of theaters to pick from?
As to the theaters, that is certainly something I have been planning on. It shouldn't take too much work.
yeah sorry i just did not realize the drop down box lol. Good work i love the app so far.
Outstanding application! Works fine on my Touch Pro.
Many Thanks!
I was thinking about writing something just like this. Awesome job. Where do you get your theater list?

Hi,
When i close my Copilot Hero is frezing, and i have to force close it - anyone have a solusion for that ?
Mine works fine but i have read somewhere someone else had a similar problem. They ran it without sense running. It frees up some ram. Hope this helps. Try searching for sense..

Happens to me too, so instead of closing the application from within the application, just press Home button, and then close the Copilot using taskiller.
That's what I do to avoid the freezing and crashing of touch flow.
Mine crashes as well. Something about Touchflo not responding and then restarts it.
I have found a sort of way round it though. When you exit Copilot do not touch the screen but press the power button to lock the screen and then when you press it again everything should work normally.
What is a more serious problem for me is the loss of GPS during long use of which the only way to get a lock back is to exit and restart Copilot
Is copilot available only for the US?
Another way to stop the phone freezing is as soon as you exit Copilot hit the phone button on screen to go into the dialer then just come out of it, everything works as normal after that, for some reason the phone button on the screen won't freeze the phone but every thing else does.
it depends if you are @home tab. if you launch copilot from other tab than the home tab, it freezes.
if you are @ home tab, and open the launcher (all programs) and start copilot from within, you will exit from it without freezing.

Hi,
I had the freezing problem too on exit, but now copilot wont start anymore...
I tried to launch it from a link on touchflo homescreen, from "all programs", from classic startpage - to no avail. Shutdown didnt help either :<
Any pointers?

co pilot freezing
Hi
I got copilot the day I got the Hero and it froze on exit as described.. Now I havent done anything ...but it now doesnt freeze at all.
I had tomtom on my diamond and really liked it but I have to admit co pilot looks very good.
I just need speed cameras for it (anyone know if the pocketgpsworld ones will work?)
how does the traffic work? TomTom traffic was a bit poo tbh
Oh yeah one further issue.. I have found the ALK tech support to be abysmal.. took them about a week to answer my query. (They sorted the issue but.. cmon.. a week)
Same issue for me.
It works for 48hours, and now its freezing on exit.

I found them pretty efficient to be honest. Here is their reply to the same two questions you want that I had asked them. All the instructions for installation are on the site it links to.
Thank you for contacting CoPilot Technical Support.
In regards to your query, I would like to inform you that you can download the latest safetycam file for your copilot via this link below:
http://safetycam.alk.com/
The traffic is not available yet on the Androids.
If you have any further questions, or feel that this incident has not been resolved to your satisfaction, please do not hesitate to bring this to our attention.

Found the answer to my problem.
The card provider in their wisdom (read stupidity) decided the card was being used by someone else and cancelled it, Now have to wait for new one to come through.
At least I know why the card would not authorise, even though all was well in Google checkout.
Cheers.

i installed todays update from market and crashes are gone (fingers crossed xd). might have to do with reinstalling it completely though, like customer support suggested
So guys, does anyone know when australian maps will be available for copilot?
Latest update cured the crashing on exit on mine too.
List of changes in the update...
The CoPilot Android software update includes:
- Faster file download and improved user experience
- Download resume functionality added
- Faster UI responsiveness and minor improvements
- Improved language support
- Various bug fixes and map performance improvements
- Support for keyboard underscores and dashes

How can the swedish people (like me) get the CoPilot on our androids? And what is the price for it?
Name: JustAnotherMaps
It`s Just Another Maps based on OpenStreetMaps maps data. It does not use Bing maps. This app supports these features:
• Zooming
• Routing
• Searching
• GPS/Cellular/Wi-Fi location.
The main benefit is that OpenStreetMaps have a better map precision and geographical coverage especially in Western Europe, Asia and etc. The trial mode has all features except routing.
This app is built on these projects: OpenStreetMaps, CloudMade, DeepEarth, Nominatim.
Updates:
Version 1.5: Speed up the map downloading process
Version 1.4: Improved multi-touch behavior, added “follow me”, added "route here from my current position", fixed some minor bugs.
Version 1.3: Added a locate me feature and fixed non-US locale issue
Version 1.2: Added a "Locate me" feature.
Version 1.1: Added a "run under lock screen".
Download Link: http://social.zune.net/redirect?type=phoneApp&id=099fddd0-5404-e011-9264-00237de2db9e
Hi tested the test version. Please some things:
Wishes:
- Add a button for center the map to your current position (like in bing maps)
- Add to the test version a way to test the routing (maybe limited to 10 km radius)
- Add a list for "Favourite Places" and a "Home Place" (needed for fast routing)
- Maybe you can get more input here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Android
Corrections:
- If i search for the city "bingen" i get "Ooops something is going wrong. Please restart the application"
- Multiple finger zooming is a little bit slow (hangs)
- Scroll left right with fingers is also little bit slow (compared to ta maps / bing maps)
Conclusion:
Nice work. If i can test routing and it works well i will definetly buy it.
I would love to see your app getting in the future more to a nice little openstreetmap navigation app.
Hi,
thanks for this info its really great that you find a time to add some words on it.
"Locate me" feature will be added in next version right now Im testing it. I will look at scrolling and multitouching zooming.
Is this error message appear everytime you try to search something or only on word "bingen"? On my phone everything is okey with that query as I understand its a city in Germany=)
yes. its only with the word "bingen" and yes ... all the time dont know whats up there!
No problem with "bingen" on my end (paid app).
Sent from my SGH-i917 using Board Express
Hi all,
I`ve got a user that have a potential error on samsung Omnia with routing. If somebody try to use this application on omnia please replay the feedback here. It would super usefull for me because I dont have such device on hands and cannot test it.
Thanks in advance,
Victor
Hi. I bought your app and will now test routing here in germany a bit.
What really would be a benefit for routing is:
- Map targeting to position your currently driving - walking like a compass.
- To add start position by searching the start (e.g. streetname) or "current position" and also to add end position by searching.
- Could you add something like "current speed" at top right corner?
Thanks for the "locate me" ... it works, but best to add a button or?
Btw. I'am a c# developer for 8 years now. Maybe i can help?
Sounds Good! Probably a silly question but If I am in usa, does the tool load the maps automatically? If I travel to south AMerica or Europe is it the same? Do we store the maps in the main memory or should we use data roaming? Thanks and happy new year
I'm wondering when google and ms stop there noncense and bring out google maps.
tested today routing with my car. really: it makes no sense having routing enabled and not moving the map with current location in centered mode. you do not really want the car driver to push every 10 seconds the "locate me" button, or?
another thing is to fade out the from/to location box on top if you start "routing" ...
Looking forward to hear anything new from your side for further updates.
Just bought your app because it looked promising - especially the routing.
Tested three smaller cities in Germany... each time the app crashes.
- Nordstemmen
- Wankheim
- Langenfeld
Maybe OpenStreetMap does not recognize the cities, i don't know.
But why does the app crashes because of that?
Routing:
Would love to have direct input of start and end.
Right now you can search a position, then point at it on the map and hope, it's correct.
Would also be nice if the map turns in the direction of driving (if this is possible)
Can the app run in the foreground all the time?
Rest is mentioned before.
At the monent the app is unuseable for routing.
I can imagine the hard work you had so far.
I hope you can fix the problems and make your app becomming a cool one.
Sorry for my bumpy english...
Nice job, looks promising. The routing feature is a good think that was missing ! But it needs some improvements. The most important to begin :
- realtime navigation : a step by step navigation, or at least (to begin) a realtime update of the position (like said oOp)...
- distance and time estimation when making a route, with options to choose shorter or faster path.
At the same moment it is on the same level as Bing maps:
1. Can locate me but does not want to use GPS
2. When routed and located does not update to nw position when one is moving
Those two things need to come in ASAP, a indicator when it s using GPS and when GSM location would help for now so I could see if GPS sucks or it does not use it. Second point needs attntion ASAP to make it usable. There was no Bing maps update mentioned for january so you are our last hope.

In this version the application does not store data on the phone between launching its a limitation of WP7 SDK.

Thanks for comment.
I think you hit a known bug that was fixed in version 1.3 just update the app, uninstall and install it again.

You are talking about step by step navigation or only about feature that will rotate map to your driving direction?

No, its a limitation of WP7 SDK.

Thanks for comments I will look at your wishes. Time and distance estimation with different options is not a difficult to implement.
Help to pay the JustAnotherMaps app

Hi. Nice work, it really shows some POIs in Costa Rica, my country, not like Bing, it doesn't show a thing!
My big problem is that I can only download free apps from the marketplace or the trial versions. I REALLY, REALLY want to buy your app, also my girlfriend and 2 more friends that have WP7.
Please tell me if there is a way that I can pay you through Paypal and you give me some kind of workaround to install the full version. Please! I can't pay because my Credit Card needs to be from the USA, and it is from Costa Rica. Please help me, I am willing to pay twice of tha app's value.
Regards and please reply ASAP, I really need your app!

Hi,
As I understand you can use your card even it was issued outside of USA. You need to change settings on your computer: Locale, Location, In browser. And you need change it on these sites too: account.live.com, profile.live.com.

Hi Victor, thanks for the answer. I know you can use credit cards outside the US, but that is if you are in a country like UK where Marketplace is supported. In my country it is not supported (Costa Rica, Central America).
I have tried all the things you said but no luck. The only thing that works for me is setting everything to the US so at least I can download free apps.
Regards.

Its strange that you cannot buy the app. I`ve got a few friends in Russia that sucсessfully can buy apps even in Russia the phone is not supported like in Costa Rica.
