[Q] Zune on DHD? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If anybody could help me with this in anyway at all please.
I was just wondering if anybody knew if there was a way of using Zune pass subscription service on the DHD?
Whether it be creating offline files to listen to on your mobile on the go like spotify, or software downloaded to the phone.
This would be a great help for me as I want to subscribe to this service.

Zune is a windows only service, you only get it on zune devices and windows phones

Thank you for the help.

Looking for a newtwork client

Hi folks, this is my first thread I started.
I'm a kind of windows mobile maniac. Now I'm looking for a software that allows me to access shared data in my personal network at home.
To say it clear . I am looking for a cab that allows me to get access an music , videos and pictures that are stored on my pc.
Has anyone got an idea about doing this ?
Currently I'm using the HD2, HTC Snap, Xperia X1, touch pro, and so on...

AirVdeo like application for WM

First of all thank you guys for such a great apps environment you created for our lazy WM platform.
Second of all I hope I am posting my request in the right place. Could someone start developing an application similar in functions with AirVideo for iphone. Its a basic app with a server(PC) - client(device) side that allows you to play on the phone any video stored on the PC (and any other storage media connected to the PC) without having to actually transfer the video on the device itself.
For more info please check : http://www.inmethod.com/air-video/index.html
It would be amazing if someone could achieve this. I would gladlly pay for such an app as I oftenly like to review my video courses I have stored on my PC from the convenience of my phone.
PS: I gave up the iphone platform 6 months ago and I am so much happier with my HD2.

Try orb. i use it on my HD2 and it works great. There's no need for a client app either! Just a browser (built in IE will do).
10x for the suggestion, I wasn't aware of this software.
Does it provide access to my content through my wireless router (under a local connection - PC and phone using the same WIFI) or do I have to stream everything through my broadband and their online servers?
All you need for airvideo is that the phone and the pc are connected to the same WIFI. All the streaming is done using the local connection which is good for privacy and there is also the option to convert a video file on the fly.
This sort of functionality I would like on the windows mobile platform if a developer would like to give it a go.

Orb basically turns your PC into a media server. You just use whatever means you want to connect to your PC. I have a use one of those services that gives your PC a name, and I just connect to it via that, so I can do it via my internet connection if I want to, or connect via wifi and use the local IP address (192.168.x.x) to connect that way, but I don't tend to do that much, as I'm obviously in range of my PC if I'm in range of the router
Orb gives you access to specified folders on your PC, and all the media within them. It does images, video and music, so it really is a great addition to any device.

[Q] Using Zune Pass

Hi I am using a Zune pass, and when using the Zune software on the PC or the Xbox I have no problems downloading songs and listening to them, but when using the marketplace on the HTC Mozart, all I get is the option to buy the song/Album or listen to the 30 seconds clip. I’m logging into the Zune marketplace with the same live id as the Xbox and the PC software on the phone any ideas?
Regards
Dogo
same for me !?

Just change your location to Great Britain or US it works fine in Germany

Tap and hold on the song or album and you should get the option to download, it works on my phone anyway. You need to make sure that the Zune Account's Live ID was the first you registered with the phone though, otherwise it won't work.

Smart DJ

I loved this function on my Zune HD, also works fine on my PC. Two questions:
a) Do you manage to create a Smart DJ Mix from your phone?
b) What do you make of this function in general?
Doesn't work on my Omnia 7 in Germany, sadly. Does it work for anyone without a Zune Pass?

You can try checking off 'pick music from mp' in setting and than try smart dj.. maybe than it will pick only from ur collection.. but wont that be like playing music on a shuffle mode..? cos than their is noone telling it to be 'smart' and pick music with similar tastes.. thats where data connectivity and zunepass thing comes in..
I have a Zune pass in the UK and when I do smart DJ on my pc it just picks tracks from my collection
edit didnt even know it was meant to pick from zune content as well, a little bit of googling and in the uk it will only show non collection content if you start the smart dj off from inside marketplace
UK people get ripped off, no 10 free tracks and no proper smart dj by the sounds of it
I've never had a Zune Pass and on my Zune HD I could use Smart DJ just fine, it would work within my own collection. On my phone it doesn't work at all. Zune Support on twitter told me I had to make the mix on my PC first then sync it with my phone. Either he was talking out of his butt or this is a totally stupid move by Microsoft.

Have you made sure you have gone to settings--->applications---->music and video checked "use music from marketplace" when using smart DJ.
All working fine for me - some of th choices it comes up with are a little esoteric, but hey............UK HD7 (I have a Zune Pass)

God, that's stupid. I bet it won't even update the playlist on the phone in realtime, e.g. I dislike a song on my phone and it isn't removed from my playlist without syncing again.
no problems of any sort with smartDJ on my arrive and I've been using it since the first mango beta but then again I also have a Zune pass but there is an option that can be unchecked from picking music from the marketplace.
No problems here. Works fine on UK HD7 with Zune pass. Also found out something I didn't know. When playing the tracks if you tap the name of the track below the album cover it shows the playlist that has been chosen for you & this can also be saved. Neat feature.

I'm talking about using it without a Zune Pass which again, I could do on my Zune HD (and can still do on my PC). Has anyone tried that on their WP?

I recognized that the artist artwork/background is gone from my phone too with Mango. I have smart dj and artwork in Zune on my notebook, but nothing on my phone anymore, nada. And I think there were biographies in the player too?
What the hell, why do they disable features? I can't even buy a Zune Pass in Germany...

Same problem here and I'm in the UK and have the Zune Pass 14-day trial. I didn't have a phone before Mango so can't comment on functionality before the update.

[Q] Can I play songs on Mobile from Laptop through Bluetooth?

Hi All,
I have a question which I looked everywhere but didn't get any answers, so I registered to ask the same.
I have Laptop with Win 7 and Mobile Note 2. I have connected them through Bluetooth and I can play on mobiles and listen songs on Laptop. Now, I want to do vice versa, so it means that I want to play songs or videos on laptop and want sound to be played from Mobile. Please let me know if this is possible and there is a way of doing the same.
Regards,
Gaurav

I dont know about Bluetooth but Samsung Link Application installed on the Note II will do just that through the WIFI simply by rgistering your PC at Link.Samsung.com and downloading another application on your PC.
