Data + battery = love ...NOT

Hey guys, i'm not that new to this formu but i usually don't post ... call me lazy maybe.
I have been using a HTC Diamon for the last 2 years, and now proud owner of a Desire. Along me, 4 of my best friend have the same devices.
ALL OF THEM expept me have 3G enabled all the time ... WHY ? I mean i work in IT, so i have Internet access all the time (work or home), so why keep 3G and data going all the time ? wifi, bluetooth, and so on ? I mean i have a 24 inch screen in front of me ... why do i need to update twiter from phone? or facebook, or whatever? I use data when i am not at the office ? YES ! Do i turn it off when I am in front of a pc? YES! does my phone outlasts all of my friends phone? YES ...
So besides the fact that Android, doesn't really work as WM, you don;t really need task killers, switchers and all that in my own opinion.
What i would really need would be some productivity, like a good VPN client for example.
If you look at early threads on thif forum, when Diamond was the stuff you wanted, everyone said, (when asked "why don't i have this cool thing that rotates that does nothing but looks nice LIKE ON THE IPHONE ... on my HTC?) that HTC does phone bussiness oriented, HTC and smartphones in general are for ppl that really need emails, vpns, charts, office tools and what ever on the go and that the Iphone is for kids ...? looking here and everywhere else ... somewhere ppl forgot that a phone should enable you to talk to someone ... a PDA is a usefull TOOL ... a tool not an iphone ...
Anyway ... i haven't sleeped in about 16 hours, my English ... sucks sometimes (sorry about that) and i don;t really know what i wanted to say but point is that if you want to save battery ... stop using the F**ing mobile internet while you have a pc in front of you.

What can i say...
Thanks for this long and pointless post.
If you want productivity then stop writing nonsense such as this and find something to do.

Child locks?

I picked up a Samsung Epic for my daughter who is 6, has helped her a ton with reading and spelling by the excitement of sending and receiving text messages from some family members.
On her phone I would like her to be able to access select items that I create widgets or short cuts too on her screens, however I would like her to not be able to access any "settings", market or any app I haven't set on her desktop.
Anyone know a great app to do this with?
The apps that I have on her desktop are:
Phone/Contacts/Messaging
Camera/Gallery
My Coffee Card (widget)
Picture Frame (widget)
Zoodles
Chess
Pure Weather Widget
Pure Calendar Widget
and a Flash light widget.
She quickly figured out the phone, how to work the market, change her wall paper, change her ring tones and most everything else..Would just like to limit her access and use of the device.
Thanks a ton!

Thanks for the links, but not really what I am looking for. More of something that won't let her create any short cuts or widgets, not not access any settings and not be able to open the app drawer without a code.
Something like this might not be present yet, however I think it is something many parents would pay for.

You could try using a custom launcher for example adw launcher
U can place whatever u want on the desktop and there's a "lock desktop" option so nothing can change wich can b found by pressing menu on the homescreen
And then u can go to the adw settings > general behavior > system prefences. And over there u can uncheck any option u don't want to show up on the menu button so uncheck "lock screen" so it won't show up and ur daughter won't b able to unlock the homescreens to change stuff
Also u may creat a category for the app drawer and remove any apps u don't want her to open so it will only show the ones you chose to show up
And I guess that will solve ur problem..?

Why not? My 4 year old daughter is rockin' CM7 on her Nook Color and she's got my old Moment too. These are great educational tools as well as toys for big boys.

I have to agree. We considered it for a while, the pros and cons. After all consideration we went with it as an educational tool.
We didn't want her to feel dependent upon it or become overly obsessed with it however there was a void in her spelling and reading abilities.. Almost over night her ability to spell and read increased greatly!
She has played Angry Birds and watched Hanna Montanna vids from YouTube (uncle and aunts doing), however her options to text message and play Zoodles has been great! One of the cool things as well, we went out to a Starbucks and she set up the Chess board for us to play, she has Chess on her phone.
Thanks for all the feedback, will try out that idea with a launcher tomorrow.

Adw launcher would have the better options I guess for what you seek. Glad to hear someone else realize the benefit of android for kids!

It locks phones homescreen, calls, sms, settings everything which you don't want to allow the kid. it has a facility to create separate 'kid area', where kid can access only allowed apps.

Useful app... offline voicecommands

Hi,
I think there is a very useful app needed in all smartphone...and specially in the fantastic galaxy s2: the offline voicecommands.
People, like me, that have not the possibility to get always connected to the net, need the offline voicecommands like the mororola smartphones. We just need a porting of that app as the vivaldi 4season team did, but working for all the roms and in particular that app have to work...
Who is the dev that can do this for the "disconnected" community? He will help the people that need to call someone whilst is driving a car... No accidents trying to do a call whilst driving car, no money spent in a special contract to be always connected.
We need a hero!

Dont we have that already with the Built in Samsung Voice actions powered by Vlingo which also has a drive/car mode

Vlimgo requires Internet and to be honest is not greatest when dialing contacts especially if they are not typical English names.
Just do what I do as soon as I install rom, delete vlingo and put original android voicedialer.apk in system (note: not voice search) app from nexus s gingerbread or cyanogen rom. Works offline and much better for contacts recognition. Responds fine to bluetooth dial as well.

Could you post that apk please?

Here you go!
Remember put this in system/app folder with root explorer (do not install as regular apk) and remember to delete vlingo voice to go apk from there cause it will clash on bluetooth dial.

Istituto tris app multilanguage?
Is this only for dialing or sms too?
Inviato dal mio GT-I9100 usando Tapatalk

It's name is voice dialer! Ask me again if this is for dictating sms!
Or are you asking if you can start text message with this?
There's voice actions for that or vlingo or whatever but they all need to be connected to the net.
With this you can basically start any app installed on the phone with command open * (open MESSAGING or open OPERA MOBILE) or dial contacts on the PHONE or command redial.
You can not say 'send text to "contact name"'. If you want deeper than that then use online ones I mentioned.
Iono if it's multilanguage? I why don't you try it then tell us? What I do know is that I have plenty non English contacts and it dials them correctly even though it repeats them weird with English phonetics. It is able to learn as well so if it's confused between 2 contacts, manually selecting correct one, will not prompt again with same pronunciation. I have had few names that I had to gradually train like that going from English phonetics to native tongue pronunciation and now it's perfect.
I save data with titanium so don't have to train it again between flashing.

Calm down. If you insist, so i ask you again: is it for dictating sms?
A forum need people able to talk gently with others and if they can and want, to answer to the question, and not to be arrogant.
If you are nervous go to sleep.

So Dumb
So Dumb to not understand plain English.

Lol! Yeah all we need in forum are lazy people that post request in wrong section and won't do **** for themselves even when the help and explanation is being offered several times, but are easy to offend!
This was a waste of fingers. I'm off to sleep as you suggested and you wait for another soft spoken fellow or a gall.
But I'll throw you another bone. None of the solutions to date offer offline dictation on any smartphone platform and you ponder...

Stupid as usual. Nothing better to expect from you and useless people thinking like you. Enjoy you and your friends with the bones by yourself.
Poor you...find a girl and be less nervous, and maybe a mother so serious you will be polite.
Inviato dal mio GT-I9100 usando Tapatalk

Lolz! And this is how needy but polite people become not so polite but still lazy.
Point being: instead of finding ways of being offended maybe you should have read more carefully and see I and others had tried to help you throughout this topic. You have 4 posts and look what they are.
Anyways ill stop now and leave your thread alone.

Application help [request]

Hello
since I'm new in developing apps,I have a request.
I work in a sale store as an IT salesman,and I have lots of tablets and phones exposed on a stand...I wanna create an app that keeps the display always on,and which shows a little presentation of our store,like the Retail Mode application the one Samsung has (http://retailsamsung.com)
Something like
- a presentation,and when you touch the screen,you can use the tablet normaly,but when the screen is off,the presentation should start by itself.
I would really apreciate some help .Thank you
(I know this isn't the place to post this,but didn't know where to.so if a mod can guide me to the right topic or something,it would be great)

First: this should be in the Android development and hacking section.
Second: I say, make a video for your store and play it on every device with Repeat: ON. You don't need an app for that.
But then again, every device I've had in my hand has a 'store demo' app installed. Look into that, might come in handy :3

thx.I used an video as a presentation,but ppl keep closing the video and tested the tablet,and when they were done,I had to start the video again.and trust me it's not easy to do that 32438 a day on 57 tablets and phones....that's why I wanted an app that started by itself.
I'm gonna look on other apps,but I'm not that good

Haha...

Sideloading App on Galaxy watch running off an iphone

Hi, so I am handcuffed by my work to use an iphone. I couldn't stand the apple watch, so finally upgraded to to the Galaxy watch. I love this watch. Disappointed at the limited apps available, which i understand fully. I am curious if there is a way to sideload these apps? Particularly the myroundpro watch app.
Really appreciate any feedback.
Regards,

I don't understand the problem here. Is it that your iphone is locked down and cannot access the Apple app store?

sdb connect ip : port then youre connected to watch but buletooth off and on same wifi then you can do more

I'm not sure sideloading is the answer. I know that's the question that was asked but the application he mentioned is on the galaxy wearable store and has an iOS companion app on the iOS app store. That's why I asked my questions above. What exactly is he trying to resolve by sideloading? It doesn't make sense.

I didn't go in depth but once you connect you have to root then a little easier tinzen has dev exe to Port apps on dev website I've been trying to do with Spotify lite made for gear not Samsung 2nd B's market we get non-samsung owners

i wasn't trying to be a [email protected]@@, but ive ported and signed different apps on my watch this thread will help multiple links to tinzen dev and it works look at post #53 we need all the help we can on watch https://forum.xda-developers.com/sm.../questions-sideloading-apps-tweaking-t3917082 hope this helps if not ill try to help if i can
