Hi,
Recently upgraded to froyo, the embeded adobe flash is great, but i can't seem to work out how to fast forward/skip. I have tried draging the time bar but this doesn't work.
For an example, bbc iplayer on my pc web browser is able to fast forward by dragging the time bar, but it won't work on my desire. Any ideas? Is this just a missing feature?
Thanks
Apparently there are issues at present with some of the flash apps, i.e. BBC iPlayer, might be worth keeping an eye on the General Chat section for possible answers as well

Hi Guys,
Just downloaded and installed ORB. Brilliant piece of software. Only problem being im not a techno whizz so im struggling a bit. Is the only way i can gain acces to my pc from my touch hd by using opera and opening up the orb site?
Thanks
Nichio
yes
You can ad to favorites www.mycast.orb.com
Then you don't have to type your password all the time.
It's indeed a great piece of software.
I'm streaming my satelite from home on it
Also music or movies(even vob files) he plays.
regards stef
Thanks Stef. I have already done that, just didnt know if any of the genius techies on here had came up with some kind of App if its possible.
Thanks Nichio
I am now looking into connecting my sky box to my. once i have done that would it be possible to stream that to my touch hd?
if it has an ethernet and it can stream ike my dreambox,then yes you can stream.
Open notpad and make an line with your sky box/drea,box ipadres like this 192.168.1.10/video.m3u and save it to anyname.mp4
The configure orb.
and add that mp4(video)file.
regards stef
Great Thanks.
I have another problem with orb now. i installed it and all was fine. How ever first time i tried to reboot my compter i am now missing a windows system config file. Anyway around this?
Nichio
I used Orb for a while but found it was caining my cpu randomly so had to remove it. I'm now using TVersity. The interface isn't as cool but when browsing from you mobile it's perfect cos you don't have to render loads of graphics etc. The only thing about TVersity is that you need to open ports on your router and use something like dyndns if you've not got a static wan ip.
What I liked the most was that you don't need to go through a third party website to access you stuff. I also use it to access music on my PC from my Wii.

I have Opera 9.7 Beta runnign on my HD, I cannot get the Mobile version of the BBC iPlayer to work, address is www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/iplayer this worked fine when running 9.5 (albeit with the Samsung spook in the preferences......anyone got any clues? When I got to that addrerss it just loads a thick black line and thats all???
any help??
Check out myPlayer. An excellent app for both BBC and ITV. You will need Core Player to make the most of this. I think it it is in Development & Hacking forum but a quick search of all forums will get it for you.
I have found this to work regardless of the ROM I have installed.
PS: Great thing about this app is that you don't have to tweak anything. It just works and with voice synced to video.......
Since the device and the ROM are out. Shouldn't we be getting some hot APK's heading our way?
There aren't any really...not on the stock ROM
Even the DLNA remote app "Conntected Devices" is a disappointment, Twonky (free server) and Remote Media (server and client) apps provide this much better. HTC Locations ("powered by Route66") online navigation is not replacing Gmaps either.
One can assume that if there were any interesting apps they would have made it to the Desire already
I would like HTC Locations on my Desire.
So it packs the exact same stuff as on our Desire...? Couldn't we like atleast get the improved media player with equalizers?

all the sence .apk's media player, wigets, camera ect arnt compatible with our version of sence anyway.....
All the new apps can be used on a Desire HD Rom port.
They are all HTC apps so require sensev2 frameworks to run anyway.
Damn... Too bad..

Twonky works for you? It keeps crashing on open when I try it.
Yes, Twonky works perfect for me on RCMixHD 0.7a SenseHD ROM. BTW with the next update of HTC Locations Tomtom will take over online map display, with routing (turn-by-turn navigation) offered as a premium feature, for Europe and Asia only. I guess the TT Android navigation app announced over a year ago will not materialise then.

i was holding out for TT for a good couple of months, then i got fed up and thought id try sygic... asides from being *slightly* less "im driving make it simple", i think overall its a better navigator.
only the ETAs are a bit retarded on sygic, TT always was pretty damn close. sygic doesnt allow for traffic or lights i dont think.
I would like Htc likes and HTC HUBS apk ported to us.

I thought it might be useful to put together a list of apps that aren't compatible (either partly, or at all) with ICS.
If this thread gets enough responses, perhaps it can be stickied?
Post your findings, and I'll try to update the first posts with updates so prospective Nexus buyers can see what may not work.
Adobe Flash - doesn't appear in market. Available from end of 2011
BBC Iplayer - Doesnt Show in Market
BBC News - doesn't appear in market at all. Now works
Blood and Glory crashes
Calendar pad won't open
CalanGoo not working/syncing. Due to new Calendar APIs?
Dolphone Browser - multiple reports of freezing etc.
Evac HD and Radiant HD by Hexage don't work. They install and launch, but you just get a black screen.
Facebook - Doesn't implement menu button, so can't set options/contact sync Update adds menu button back (but no contact sync still)
Flickr - you can't get past the signin process Update available to resolve the login problem now
Go Contacts has issues with themes
Google Earth - Loads but won't respond (multiple reports of this, although some users find it works?) Now working for me too. Maybe it needed a rest.
Google Tasks Organiser - see CalanGoo
London tube status widgets also broken
MX Video Player - Installs but says device isnt supported
RemindMe also doesn't work. It too installs, but you get a weird black screen when you start it
Root Explorer - Now updated in Market
Skype works, video calling does not.
SwiftKey doesn't bring up predictions? Several users now confirming this does work okay
Sygic (Sat nav) can do initial setup, but won't display nav screen (reverts to home). Now working
Tweetdeck - When posting, dropdown options don't appear for location, contacts etc doesn't appear. Posting box just fills screen. TweakDeck in the Market sorts all problems nicely!
Urbanspoon hangs at the loading cuisines screen
Urban Dictionary by Tim Clark FC's in use Now fixed, update in Market
- Note, I've not added every single report to this list; as some are "intermittently crashes" etc. This could be just random bad luck, but if several people post the same kind of issue I'll add it. Sorry I don't update this as frequently as i'd like!
(reserved)
BBC Iplayer
MX Video Player

Seems to run okay. Not tried all features, and not tried it actually driving, but so far so good.
Has anyone tried running LBE Privacy Guard on the GN?

Yeah i tried co pilot yesterday. After it opened it closed down immeadiatley.
Alk sent me an email with my serial key and i am now able to use it. However it still opens and then hides itself and i have to re open from the icon in the notification tray.
Im kind of gutted coming from a fully compatible Gs2. Feel like a beta tester!
So far ive have issues with
Shazam
Lack of adobe flash
Ebay app - get random network error message which stops me from viewing listings
Most decent movie players.
Citrix reciever
If you have gs2 think hard before making the jump, as nice as the device is it is lacking a whole host of useful features added by touch whiz i.e
video codecs - mkv , divx xvid
all share - decent dlna app
ability to add individual callers to a block list
split view mailboxes
flash - for now

Hey, thanks for your response. I have just tried Vplayer and it played 3 out of the 5 files that i had transfered. Thats better than nothing!
Just finding it a hard transition from the Gs2 it did everything out of the box!
Thanks again
So I've ran into a couple of instances where it would be nice to have a browser on my FireTVs. Just curious what browsers have already been tried and how they worked? I'm partial to Google Chrome but more than willing to try something else if it runs better on the Fire or has better navigation. Would also be nice to have some integration with XMBC but that is not a must since I can launch just about anything from Favorites. I have a keyboard and mouse but would be nice to be able to do a little bit with a remote if possible. I am rooted and have the Play Store installed.

Dolphin is the browser I use the most on my AFTV. Chrome blows, firefox blows.
.
I have tried several web browser E.g. firefox, chrome, javalin, and Naked. Most annoyed is FTV keyboard popped and I couldn't see background of browser. However Naked browser is awesome speedy no bloatware or junk and most respected privacy.
I might try install the null keyboard (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fevdev.nakedbrowser&hl=envoid) and test if it will allows me run null keyboard as primary input then it will rock!
When using naked, the keyboard pops up like on the cell? Any mods to hide it?
