Where's the non-Java race viewer gone?

I just tried to watch tonight's race on my phone as I normally do, but I keep getting directed to the Java download page.

Is this part of the Q1 patch?

Sadly yes, You need Java to run both Viewers now.

What Phone do you own?

Oh, that's a shame. It's kinda important to me be able to view the races on my phone, for the times I can't be at my computer :/

I have a Samsung Omnia7 - WP7

I'd planned to subscribe to get 2D while at my desk, but catch the other races on the move on my phone.

It was working really well, with automatic updates.

Any chance of having it as a 3rd option?

Hmm, looking into this a little bit, it appears android devices don't have a Java as such to get this working, however they use software called Dalvik to convert Java's .class files into a .dex file. Maybe it's possible Jack to turn Java into something Dalvik can use, and thereby actually creating a crude but simple and effective "IGP app"?

My ability to code is pretty shakey so I couldn't explore the idea further, but surely it's possible? It would be absolutely superb for me as I work shifts and I end up watching the timing screen wishing I could do something about my tyres!

Food for thought anyway...

Interesting! I have the misfortune of using Java in my day job, and I've never heard of Dalvik.

Of course, it'll be no use to those of us with WP7 phones :)

A simple HTML solution like we had before would be great.

The live timing was working previously for me as well.  It was nice to check the timings when I wasn't around a computer.

Live timing WAS working on 3DS before XD Maybe add an option without java for people who use phones and 3DS's?

Just as a post-though, would it be a good idea to think about possibly creating a mobile app for iGP? So that we can log into our account via the app and watch the race. It certainly would be great for me for when I'm not at home and want to still watch it :)

I also have a WP7 device (Nokia Lumia 800).  I used to be able to watch the 1d timing on the phone, but now cannot as i get directed to the java download page.  It would be good if you could create a Windows Phone 7 app to interface with iGP.  Thanks,

Ive got a Sony Ericsson X10i that I used to be able to watch the timings on.
Obviously now there are race controls available that has had to be implemented by Java and thus doesnt work anymore.

How about bringing back the previous non-Java version as a third option for just viewing the lap times?

Just tried it now on my WP7 phone - it works well! :o)

I used it to spectate a race.

Thanks for adding this feature! I feel like I won't be competing blind any more.

Thanks Jack that gives us back a great thrid option :-)
