Checkbook app?

i was wondering if anyone knows of a good simple free checkbook applicatoin..
all i want is ability to make catagories, put in + or - amounts and make notes, i had one a long time ago i liked but lost it when my last phone died. the one thing it didnt do was pass the balance to the next month. would be nice if it has some form of stats and ability to text to a emal account a spreedsheet of some sort.
just curious if anyone knows of anything thanks..

What about Excel Mobile....

thats an idea i didnt think of. but i never have worked with spreedsheets much. was hoping something simple was already made. i was using money manager by 8mobile for a long time, but it is acting weird in my phone. the input screen numbers are tweaked out, and for some dang reason every number i enter in the thing adds a 0 to it. so 1 =10 10=100 never had that problem with it on my behold and since its a java app i thought it would run fine on here.
thanks for the input ill look into it was just looking for something simple and really easy lol

you can try millomoney. its simple and free

i have seen that one listed but out of the 10 links i found for it everyone of them is dead no page...
do you know of a good link or anyone got it to send to me?

here ya go. better than other links. may not be the newest one but give it a try.
when adding a new entry u cant see the description line but just scroll down and it will let you edit it even tho you cant see it all.

thanks but after installing its not saving anything, even installed it to the phone not the sim. i input a + or minus then goto view and it shows nothing.

MMS resizing too small still...

I have seen this question brough up but after looking didn't see any answers. I have tried using the stock mms as well as Handcent and Chomp. I have changed the settings to 1mb but still out going message ends up 7kb to 20kb. The person on the other end gets a picture that you need bottle caps to see.
I did a search on this and found resolves for other phones as well as a simple check your settings but nothing else.
I did come across this link below but don't know of anyone else that has done these steps.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. If there is already a thread on this I'm sorry I must have over looked it.

Too funny. Yeah I posted this originally and no answers.

I called Sprint and asked them why I have a HUGE screen, BIG Camera and tiny MMS. They told me this is a known issue and will be fixed in next release. I personally think they just saying that to satisfy my curiosity. They told me it was an Evo only thing. They could save lots of money if people send 16kb MMS instead of 300kb to 2mb which the phone should allow. I think most phones and providers allow 300kb to 1mb.
I did read a thread where they modified it for the G1.

It looks like other people are starting to get annoyed with this also, but nobody has attempted to modify.
I am sure if you want to modify the mms.apk, which I looked at and could not find any settings regarding the size limit, you would still have to root your phone and unlock NAND to modify it.

I am opening up grabbing the information off my phone now to dig deeper. If I get anything working I'll repost what I did.

I have the same experience using handcent. Even sending the pic to an email causes the same behavior.

Im surprised by the lack of posts in this thread? Does anybody not have this issue?

I can't even send MMS, for some reason. I get them ok, but sending does nothing. Dont even get an error. Could someone post their APN settings? It is grayed out on my phone, but at least it will tell me if that is the issue.

i guess nobody uses mms? lol i certainly dont haha if i take a picture worth sharing i just upload it to facebook right then and there...i mean we have really fast 3g and if you want super speed use 4g. i was able to upload 25 pictures all at once to facebook using 4g in about 4 mins...

Yeah...haven't sent a MMS since I got the Evo on June 4th...

My Palm Pre (Sprint) was able to send an MP3 to another phone 2-4MB no problem, but this darn phone.... So I know it's possible just gotta find the right segment of code to change.

Wait a second...never heard of this before. So I just ran a test...a 1mpixel photo mms'd to my other phone. Right off the bat it resized it for the message..something about 'photo too large'. But it went so fast I couldn't read whole message.
When I open the sent message, the photo is now only about 2/3's size of the screen and only 70k.
This is crap!

Damn it. Tooke a photo from the Raphael and sent back to Evo. A 3mpixal pic left the Raphael no problem...and showed up on Evo at 60k. WHAT THE HELL?!?!
Calling Sprint first thing. I bailed on the iphone 3g for three major issues. One of which was no MMS. This is huge to me. CRAP.

Here is a thread with mms .apk stuff. I do not have root and still not OTA...so this won't help me yet, but maybe for someone else?
(Hint, they modified mms_config.xml-files ??)

Ok, ran another test today...sent pics from my two phones to a friend...and had her reply with pic from her phone to my two.
Both pics from me were taken at 1mega pixel....she got one at 40k (Raphael) and one at 17k (Evo).
She sent same pic from her camera to both my phones...Raphael got one at 210k (1600*1200) and the Evo got it at 77.9k (640*480).
Now I kinda just glossed over the FPS issue...but now I am seriously getting upset about having my phone with this wonderful screen get messed up shrunken images. I have a high quality camera and I can only send out tiny azz'd pics. Now I have reached the point of being upset with a super/smart phone that has been crippled.

You gotta love how they have great specs on the phone and the programmatically dummy it down.

I thought it was only me. I hate sending a 720p photo abs the person I send them to replies with...."the photo is really small" and yes the phone does resize the images. It blows

bump on this mms does suk on the evo

Yes it does suck I sent an 8mp photo to a friend and I swear it looked like she got a cif res photo

I brought this up in the store last week...they just kinda went...'Uh huh.' Seemed like they knew but weren't interested in discussing.
We need to hack this as it seems ONLY the Evo does the pre-resizing and then Sprint's system has an auto resize on tope off that.
I am learning android as fast as I can....as this doesn't seem to bug a lot of people...and I'll just have to look at it myself.
(Unless someone else knows more?)

Here's a workaround until I can actually find how to fix it in the HTC version(I've only been able to decrease image quality so far )

MMS Resizing on EVO
Hey - I know the last post was 3 days ago... Just wondering if anyone made any headway on it? I'm going to go to the last link that was posted for the AOSP MMS program, but it looks like there might be some issues with it... Rather stick with stock SMS/MMS program without any of the issues... And have this darn resizing thing fixed. It's a load of bull.
The most advanced phone on the market and seems to be the most limited when it comes to doing what it's made for! Being a multimedia device! I feel horrible sending someone a picture the size of my thumbnail when they can send me something that can be zoomed in 10x without any deterioration lol.
Def lookin forward to hearing what you find @Caulkin.

idea for app or home page

I have no idea how to write or develop apps or anything but I had an idea I thought would be cool if someone could develop it. I have tried the new windows 7 phone and think the idea of looking quick to see everything is a great idea. I'm a car guy and think working gauges and graphs would be cool to use instead of the boxes. There could be gauges or graphs that show: 1) Battery Level 2) Memory for RAM, ROM and SD Card 3) How much the Processor is working 4) Missed Calls 5) Emails 6) Messages 7) Wi-Fi signal or whatever else. I have looked and found 2 apps that had a few of these together but they looked a bit simple, and there are a few out there for the battery. I thought it would be nice to see these on one page for a quick look to see whats going on. I'm not sure if it would work with android having different pages like it does or even if it's possible. It's just an idea I liked and thought others might also. I know I would pay a little something for it if it worked and looked good. If there is something out there I missed or someone does this give me a private message, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks

So like... What phone are you using currently?

There is an app called eRay, I'm not sure if it is on the marketplace or not but I have used it and it works well for this. Very nice graphical statistics. Do a google search to see if you can find it.

[Q] Change google now "google" to something else

This may seem like something of a longshot, but I figured it was worth asking. I don't know about anyone else but I would personally love to be able to change the voice prompt word on google now to something other than well....google. I would like to name it like, Kelly, or Sheila, or just about anything other than saying google every time. If anyone thinks this can be done I would love to hear some ideas as I will be working on figuring it out as well!!

This is the one instance where I think "computer" would be perfect.

or even droid, or nexus, or android, or anything lol....just not google. I just think to myself, if iPhone users were like ....Apple, whats the weather like? Just seems very bland.

I've also been waiting for someone to hack this (or s-voice or any of the others) to respond to "computer". I figure it's only a matter of time.
Bonus points if confirmation prompts can be responded to with "make it so".

seeing as this is just the first version of their Siri-type functionality, I am sure there will be advancements, features and funny responses added in due time. They always seem to make things easier to use as time goes on.

speaking of funny response.... after saying google, say : do a barrel roll

HAh, it does a barrel roll! I love easter eggs.

Jarvis
Every time I watch Iron Man or Avengers, I want my phone/tab to respond to Jarvis.
Hopefully when this hack is implemented, someone will post it here.

can s-voice speak text for confirmation instead of visual preview?

Hi.
S-voice seems to work more accurately for my "accent" than google's program so I've had a decent success rate with it for daily use this last week.
That said, I cannot tell whether this feature is available: when I ask it to send a text or email and give it the content, it asks me for a visual confirmation that it got the words right. is there a way to get it to speak back what I asked it to type up? I've spent last three days searching without luck, which suggests this doesn't exist yet so I'm just paying to obtain confirmation and closure.
Thank you for your time.

I found it strange it did not do this. Its almost all hands free up until this point if your using Bluetooth you have to look at your phone. Almost makes it pointless. I have not found away around it yet but I do agree it should read the text back to you.

Thanks for confirming. The one time I got google now to write a text message for me, it, too, did not repeat it outloud. Well, I just won't use that feature then, it's already gotten me in trouble with incorrect word.
I found a an application called "assistant" which sort of does it well, but it's just so.. rough. Always a compromise, isn't it?
Bummer.
