Develop Bugs

Besides use as a cell phone...

What can it do? I was going to activate it on Sprint, but its way too expensive. I decided to just get an HTC Maple on the SERO plan.
So what can this do? I have it controlling my music on the PC already, but I don't know what else I can do with it. So far I keep either this or my iPhone4 in my pocket for use as a:
Music player
Flashlight
Music switcher
Camera
Web Browser
Game player (rather Doodle Jump player)
Clock
What else should I make it do?

Isn't the maple a Windows mobile device? Geeze...

How about a paperweight?

What else would you need it do...? Short of controlling your car and printing money.

if you got a maple, why are you posting here? do you just have an unactivated evo?

The Maple is indeed WM. I hated the phone until I got my Droid stolen and was pleased by the battery life that it had, and I realized it I didn't hate it at all, I did prefer the older stupid-smartphone for various reasons, it works better as a phone to me anyways and I always preferred the keyboard to a touchscreen. I do have an unactivated Evo that I don't think I'll use for cellular service and I'd like to make the best of it. I realize that its like castrating the phone, but I really don't know what else to do with it. Is there a way to forward texts to it and reply from my Evo?

You could just give it to me and I'd make really good use of it.

I can't give it away, I already spent like 100 bucks on it fixing and stuff.

why did you buy this instead of the new itouch? why are you in the Evo forums without a real service providing Evo?
This is dumb

Because it was on sale? I bought it and an iPhone since they were bundled. Why are you so mad? Ignore me if you don't have anything useful to say.

The GPS should work. It's an expensive alternative to a TomTom, but you already have it.

Do I need data to use the GPS? I didn't know there was an offline way to use it!

Haha, I think I would have to convert a lot of videos!

Download CoPilot via WiFi and you can use that offline, just download the maps on to a SD card and you're golden!
I use CoPilot all the time during road trips and is awesome!
Also, not sure what area you're in but if you're in an area that has MetroPCS you can activate the EVO on their service. I know in Jacksonville, Florida they had this thing where they would charge you 10 dollars for flashing your phone over to MetroPCS as long as it had a clean ESN.

Man, I'm confused. Are you planning on using it for some of the things it's intended to do? Or are you planning on using a crappy WinMo phone?

[Q] Orange swappables UK

Has anyone managed to get the game one to work on their handset?

The game swappables are now available to use, although as a bit of advice don't bother choosing it as the selection is awful. Next month i will be swapping to a different one.

Could you take some screenshots or something of the selection?
The web page suggests things like Fifa 12, but doesn't actually state it (so I assumed they were using that as some crap Marketing Pull)..
http://pantherplan.orange.co.uk/swapable/7 - You see?

I shall try and get a screenshot up in a bit, but it lists games for the one x and atm there are not many at all. I tried the who wants to be a millionaire and it is shocking.

It was cool, but I dont really use them like I hoped I would

I got a set but I've only played with them. It's a neat novelty but at the cost not really practical. If they were cents each rather than dollars I might use them more.

Just register your phone on Samsung.com and you'll get a 50% off coupon...buy your TecTiles with that. I have mine by the door to toggle WiFi, in the bathroom to launch Play Music, and by the toilet to launch YouTube.
I use mine a lot, but my only gripe is that the phone has to be on and unlocked in order for it to work...but its better than nothing I guess.
I have thought about putting one in the living room for guests to use to connect to WiFi without asking for the password.

There.....Meh....
I got them for 50% off, so the price was more of a non point for me. Honestly though, I've only used one of them and then sort of forgot about them. They're nothing you can't just do as well on the phone itself. Fun to show off for a second I guess.

I got 10 of them off eBay for under 11bucks but only found my self using 3 of them lol they cool to play with but i hardly find my self using it everyday lol

How is that not legitimate? Oh that's right, that is simply an opinion. Luckily, I live in America, and I am free to choose what is legitimate for my needs. I guess you missed the connect to WiFi without having to scrummage through to find the password.
What are your expectations? You want it to brew, make, and deliver your coffee to you in the morning?

woah buddy, lighten up, lol. of course that was "an opinion", and mine obviously. sorry that I think having an NFC tag setup to launch YT when I'm taking dump is ridiculous. if you don't want conversations that are inherently going to have opinions, and possibly opinions that are not yours, don't post in a public forum, maybe?

and while that sounds great, NFC is not ubiquitious enough to make that worthwhile. in my opinion.

no... just want to it things I would expect a phone to do. I'm not even sure how that statement is a "witty comeback", as it's contextually nonsense.
seriously, relax.

Not ubiquitous because people like you keep saying it isn't. Buy it, try it out...you may find something interesting that will intrigue another to do the same. My local mall uses NFC to give out free songs or magazine articles. What's a couple of bucks gonna hurt? You already bought a $300+ phone...might as well use its features.
You don't have to use the Samsung TecTiles...you can buy any of them, and download an NFC programmable app.

lol, fair enough, actually.
believe me, I wish I could think of uses for them that would do something I thought was functional, because gawdamn, the idea is cool. and I do love anything new tech-wise. i'm always an early adopter.
(and I bought the phone outright. $700 bucks w/ tax. worth every damn penny.)
so far, the only implementation I am seeing make NFC worthwhile is sBeam/filesharing, and google wallet (if it worked right now).
I will be keeping a watch on the tech, and I tend to make frivolous purchases (like the AllShare TV dongle), and perhaps I'll keep an eye on you, see if you come up with anything that sparks some ideas.

Anything useful for my personal routine (turning off ringer at work etc.) I have set up in tasker. For little stuff like opening you tube while on toilet, (lol) it just doesnt seem more convienent to tap phone to a tag than to click the app on my homescreen. Tasker really does all of the automation for me for work, my car etc.

Jelly Bomb has nfc with the screen off built in. I tried pulling the Nfc.apk from the 10.20 build and putting it on my own deodexed LJC rom but it didn't allow nfc with the screen off.

One thing that I thought would be useful is if I could set it up as a proximity sensor. Ex: when I put the phone in my car dock it turns on blue tooth and when I take it out it turns it off without having to touch another tag?

It does with a little tweaking. It took me a little while to get working correctly but there is a how to thread floating around here.

That is the one I use. You can setup toggles with only one nfc label. For example. Scan it and it will turn off the alarm. And if you scan it again it will turn it on. It really expand the uses of the labels. And you can program e series of actions with it. Hope this help you

We got some demos (and extra for us) at work, it's a tectile arm band, but I could fully program it and everything, my co-worker thought it was cool since he couldn't do it (lol iPhone) so I was thinking about keeping one, never know when I could wanna "wow" a friend

yes, just set it up to Toggle the bluetooth - that way if it's on it will turn off and visa versa.
I have similar setups and it works like a charm.
and the tiles will work with Every phone that has NFC, so even when you get a future phone, the tiles will continue to work. I think they are the bees knees.

they become more useful once you mod the phone to work with nfc screen off (someone posted a mod but it only works from lockscreen not screen off hopefully that will be fixed soon)
I have one each on my washer and dryer. they set a "timer" that goes off and tells me when the washer and dryer are done (30 minutes for washer 70minutes for dryer)
I have one on my car to auto set my car locator position one the dev for car locator gets that working right.
I also plan to use them for geo caching. I hope geocaching.com integrates NFC functionality into their service soon is VERY ideal for that.
I also plan to use them on "bins" in storage. I store what is in the bin in the tag. tap and now I know whats inside (working on that soon)
you can use QR codes but they are a pain (have to load an app) and then wait for camera to focus AND they don't like low light. NFC don't care tap done.
also plan to put on on my Radio Transmitter for my competition rocket gliders. tap and 15minute countdown timer starts.

[Q] A retired Evo..

Was a good evo. but ive "upgraded" love to stay on the evo i know it well. Ive Gone to a HTC one.
I refuse to ignore my evo though so just curious if anyone needs a test bedder or know of a good use for an evo without service.

You can use it for a media player. It it way better than an iPod plus it can call 911 in a pinch. I set one of mine up for my daughter. She watches netfilx, plays movies, games, facebook, etc.
Or you could use it as a backup. It is legal to clone your own device as long as you don't sell it. I have 3 phones (personal) using the same esn.

Media player would be the number one thing I would use an old device for. Although... I'm currently looking for a phone to replace my LG Optimus V on virgin mobile, and I've head you can flash this phone to virgin mobile.... hint. hint.

yea im using it for music n stuff now but the htc ones audio proccessing will blow the evo out of the water and shoot it into space and put it in orbit around jupiter lol. (not beats audio thats just software) im saying its a newer device its general an improvement.
and yea i dont doubt anything with the evo XD alot of developers have contributed alto of respectable work on the evo. heck its a miracle 4.2.2 is runnin on it the way it is XD
aaah ima miss coming to the evo 4g development threads :'D
now only if someone had a android 3.0 ROM for the evo i could just make it a lil 4.3" tablet :3...not a very powerful tablet but still...

I hope you have google music or a limited number of songs you want to put on your phone.... the htc one is a great phone, the lack of a sd card would make me never buy it, though.

Ubersonic is made for inactive devices. It's main one is for ICS, although if you want JB he does have some experimental builds in this post.

yea i had it on my evo for a while dint like it that much it was great but it felt too much like a refined just for music type deal. however id love to put android 3.0 on my evo :3 i might just put a 4.2.2 rom on it and drop the DPI to 120 and use it like a tablet XD

I am looking for something for my OG Evo as well. I have Ubersonic on it now, but it just does not play well with my bluetooth speaker, so I want to try something else.
Ideally, I'd like to slap a JB ROM on her so I can use profiles to share it with my daughter... but I'd also like HDMI out to work - which I am not so sure is possible on JB.
Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?

I think cyanmobile has profiles. It is a highly modified gingerbread rom that has many ics/jb features added in. Everything works correctly except for mms. Which I am still working on a fix. Most users have been able to make mms work by using go sms.

Hey HTC one owners

I just added a line to get the blue model from best buy and my other phone is an s4 rooted and unlocked. I know this one isn't but so far this one beats my s4 by responsiveness and smoothness. Barely any lags which my s4 had quite a bit. Love this phone.

As solid as this phone is, compared to the S4, I felt I didn't need a case for that phone and could toss it around, with the htc one it's like a baby, I am very gentle, just ordered a cruzerlite case, gotta love amazon points, $16 item shipped for $1.46

Just finished setting everything up, migrating from a Galaxy Nexus.
Phone is rock solid however all the bloatware + HTC Sense is killing this device.
Can't wait for root, I really really hate Verizon's crapware!

Glad to have you guys here in the community!
S-OFF is coming alive thanks to Sonic, hoping to get a card myself to help the remainders and those not willing to ship phone as far.
I just don't want to take a $1,300 loss...

Those cards are that ... wallet thumping? Good lord, either way there's got to be some way to jack it aside from the card. I mean, look at crApple products like the iPod and iPhone, even those can be modified (even if it's next to pointless anyways). I remember a couple years back they said that the HTC HD7s wouldn't ever be "unlocked" but alas it was. And some of those modifications to the Windows based OS were really cool. Aside from all that though; if you're close to me I'd drive there and get it done and drop a few bones your way for the service of course. But I believe someone out there has at least figured out a little bit. There's got to be something, if we can "hack" the PSP, we can sure "hack" this phone. lol

Yeah man I read that the prices were high for a 500-credit card, which can do 250 S-Offs at 2 credits a piece. Still that's brain-cramp inducing. I'd buy a couple credits to get mine S-Off'ed but I can't be without my phone for what will wind up being about 10 days between shipping and waiting for it to be processed. Kind of wish I'd hung onto my RAZR M for a couple weeks. lol
I can't be without my phone. I got a One without there being a known unlock because I can live with Sense. Swapped my Galaxy S4 for one when Amazon marked the Droid MAXX as "we don't know if we'll get this in stock again or not". Bleah. Anyway I love the One, way more responsive than the S4 I returned. Gonna hang onto this baby for a while.

I might buy a card and set a day to have everyone close meet at like a Starbucks in NYC, it would save stress, time, money (shipping to and from) you also not without your phone for 4-10 days and it never leaves your sight, you can watch me do S-OFF.
