Record my dreams

Hi, i'm searching for an app to record my dreaming's words. I would like it to record only when someone talks, is there any chance to find something useful to me?

haha i know what you mean! a voice recorder activated by voice so we dont have 6 hours of audio to look through

The only thing I could find while sniffing around was an app that does sound triggered recording, but only by dialing your voicemail number and recording it to that.
Sounds like a simple enough app to write though, perhaps there's a sympathetic Dev out there that could knock up an app for you.

Lol nice idea is there anythin out there like this? Please let us know if ya can find somethin worth to try

I know what you mean.
My mother will telling me that I can answer her questions when I am asleep, but I can never remember doing that.

What you could do is just use a recorder, and record everything during your sleep. Then copy that sound file to your PC and use cool edit to open it, and look through the sound waves. When you see some big spikes on the waves go to them and see if youre saying anything. Might be kinda creepy though, who knows what kind of sounds you'll pick up lol

RL Watcher , it's in the Market.
That said, not too sure if the microphone is going to be good enough (Thanks to Samsungs settings, background sound is noisy!).

Maybe you should change your Title a bit to attract attention. You are looking at an app that can switch on the voice recording when the decibel level increases beyond pre-defined level.
Any ideas?
PS : This can be helpful in a lot of other situations too. You just need to know the minimum decibel level.

Dreams feel real while we're in them. It's only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange.
I can access your mind through your dreams using my Android.
I have done a little RnD and made a little progress.
Whenever there is a sound a number is incremented per second of sound.
It works with my galaxy S mic very well.
THERE IS NO INTERFACE AT ALL
I want you to test it.
There is no fear of any harm.
The screen stays on as long as the app is active.
But as you may or may not know a black screen on the SGS is an off screen.
The way to work the app is
Install the app.
Set the phone down on your table/nightstand.
Open the app
Don't click anything
Go to sleep (you don't really need to sleep just speak in intervals in a moderately quiet room/simulate your bed room/simulate your sleep voice)
Hopefully make noise in your sleep. Not very loud noise is needed.
Wake up
Press the menu key...you may have to wait a fraction of a sec.
A notification will give you 2 numbers.
Tell me those numbers.(You can round off NO 2 if you want to)
If first number is > 1 then you are successful else not successful.
EXIT THE APP WITH THE BACK BUTTON
If you exit with another way then you may have to restart the phone to get your mic working fine again(stupid mic implementation of mic on SGS).
Test it and tell me how it goes.

Can the wake screen be like NoLED? No really waking a partner, especially a treasured one?

Its a kind of a lazy onscreen logo floating around that if you have thrown the phone in a corner of your bed, wake up to pee, come back & know that yea, I have received this & that.

I don't know about that for now.
The app is still in its alpha stage.
We can keep it in a proposed list of features.
Right now the app only lists number of seconds you have been making noise.
The SGS has a weird implementation of AudioRecoding
I am still going through the docs.
Once I manage to implement the recorder, more features will be added.
Please reply with the values you are getting from the app.
Thanks

Gonna test the app now
EDIT: Crashes immediatly on Cyanogen Mod

Phone not displaying date on lock screen

When looking at the lock screen my phone doesn't display the date. Its cut off. All I see is Mon. May and the very top of the actual date. Anyone else have this problem? Wasn't like this any other time.
Edit.. didn't see any other posts when I started to post this earlier and didn't finish. Now that I did I see others. Mods, feel free to delete.

it does sort the apps menu... hit menu, edit , sort , save... and the lockscreen thing is easily fixed by swapping fonts

Then you are holding it wrong! LOL I have tried a lot of these voice command assistants, from the S-voice from Samsung to Dragon beta, IRIS, Maanuba, vlingo, and your speaktoit; you name it, I may have tried it. None of them comes close to utter. Which of the other apps can take a verbal instruction to take a freakin screenshot or change the governors on your phone?? None that I have personally come across.
And to boot, this app comes from an XDA member. Who doesn't love that? I'm going to throw money at him as soon as he is able to. There's a lot of work that went in to it and ben(the dev), IMO deserves some fundage. :good:

This app is so clever, just been playing around with it and Tasker, between the 2 apps I can do everything I want. Awesome.

Why does it want root access?

Reboot, set kernel, and a few other things require it.

but you do not have to be rooted to use Utter, and its not doing anything dodgy that you need to worry about, its just so that you can get Utter to do certain things which need root access, if you dont do those things, it doesnt need root access.

Why isn't this bloke working for the Google Now team??

It seems to not recognize my Minnesooooooootan accent perfectly. Some of the commands it seems not to be able to understand. Works OK for most things though. It's still a keeper.

in the customisation menu, you can change/replace words, so for example if every time you say "house" it hears "has" you can tell utter to recognise "house", that may help, or you can try one of the other voice recognition engines in the recognition and voices menu like ispeech or dragon nuance.

Looking at the latest comments on the YouTube video, it looks like Brandall will be bringing some great updates to Utter soon including a car mode possibly and more bluetooth support.

Motorola touchless control APK

Here's a link to check it out. Not sure if it works. If anybody wants to test out the APK, please report back with your results.

Thanks but the app is only installable on the ULTRA, MAXX, Mini, and Moto X.
it installs without problems, but doesn't appear in appdrawer, and playstore says it's incompatible with the One

I have installed the .apk, but can't start it, as it isn't present as an actual app. I think, we also need the settings app directly from the Moto X/Droid Series, in order to be able to set up the actual touchless cotrols app.

Application installed just fine on my Telus Galaxy S3 with CM10.2. Added the activities shortcut through Nova Launcher. Tried to launch each activity but it just crashed.
Rebooted and continuous errors.
There's something unique in Motorola's framework similar to TouchWiz/Sense etc. I know this is the HTC One forums, but I felt like trying it out

lol i like how the OP post an apk wants people to test but it too scared to test it himself

wont work...but
why not try something that really works (touchless gesture that is)

Maybe we can try by changing the build.prop of the phone. We did the same with Facebook Home and it seemed to work. Anyone can try this out?

i've got the air gestures half working (screen on, scroll through browser etc) gonna try and get the rest working later on...
as for motorola touchless control apk it will never work without the motorola chip inside

Touchless controls is going to require a Motorola Phone. It requires a specific low-core processor that allows the phone to be constantly listening, if we kept the mic in our phones on 24/7 without Motorola's specific hardware, our battery would die in 1 hour.

No luck. I give up. Had a couple of responses earlier, like opening browser when it was already opened and requesting root.

Have you guys tryd using a logcat to see what it keeps looking for before it crashes just saying then we could have a better understanding.

Talking of Tom Cruise, he's like Sense 5. Remember the sense on our desire? Sense 5 looks just like that. I wonder how mimi Rogers looks like standing next to him today.

I was at work and couldn't download it and play with it. I have since tried it (it failed for me too), and have done some more digging. Apparently, the Moto X has a core in it's processor made to do just this. We do not have that core. Looks like this is a lost cause...

Stop saying core! It's a DSP, noting 'core' about that. .
But yes, this is useless without that chip. There is a app on play store that does the same thing and you can even set the wake phrase ('Jarvis!'). Haven't tried it so I cannot comment on battery, but I'm sure it uses quite a bit.

Nexus 5
Is this going to be able to work with the nexus 5 because is has the same snapdragon 800 or will it still struggle? So disappointed the nexus 5 doesn't feature some of the moto x impressive features like touchless control and amazing battery. Otherwise it is a great phone!

Didn't anybody tell you? We're obliged to mess around with our phones, edit build.props, you know, stuff that could render our devices as, well.....paperweights really, just so the op can laugh at our expense.
How about OP, you install on your device, if it doesn't work....bad times, if it does work, post a solution. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it!

Nice app
Great app man, it works fine. But i think it should let the user select which app to make use of the function.

Thank you for the feedback
and i'm very happy to hear back..i'm working on it..will bee out soon...!

Will be updating to a new version before October 2nd
this will have features of a pro version but it just gives the feel not the functionality
Please let me know your comments

@MultiPDev V2 will give you the option to select your own app

Good job!! I love the app, the concept is great. I think the idea is better than Samsung's Smart Stay(or something like that) that never worked well enough for me. I'd surely use this app daily when it's finished. I didn't vote on the playstore because it needs some more development.
Here's a major bug I encountered: It sometimes doesn't work until you switch the feature off and on again, and switch between apps.
Also the sensibility is kinda low, i think ot should be higher(or maybe let the user select some kind of levels?).
Anyways, I call this app a good example of great use of a smartphone's sensor.
I have a question, does this app only work on Samsung devices? if not, I think you should make a thread in a general forum so any people can give you feedback, not only s3 owners.
I'm a student developer, so I hope I will submit an app to the store soon.
Cheers!!:good:

Thank you for the valuable feedback....
Its a strange issue..! Will definitely look in to the issue
When you said its not working are telling based on the Message you see on the screen when you open the app..if so that message will be displayed only for the first launch of the app.
right now sensitivity is at the best lowest as possible
you need not move the device slight angle change will also be considered

Good Luck with you app
and this will support all phones running android 4.0 and above

I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you what I meant by "it doesn't work".
Well...sometimes the screen just forgets to turn off, even if phone is on the table.
About the sensibility, I think the app should detect a trembling hand, so it knows you're holding the phone. It's just a suggestion, I don't know how practical this would be.

Yes it is, the screen timeout was actually 15 secons...just for testing. But the screen just refused to turn off while on the selected app. So I had tu turn the app off and on again few times till it worked. I think it's only the first time, after you install the app, I'm not sure. But it happened more tan once. Needs more testing.

It happened to me again. The default timeout was 15 seconds. I just started Word app and kept the phone still. But the screen just refused to turn off(I waited 2 minutes). I solved this by turning the app off and on and switching between timeout times. However, it may be a rom bug (I'm running a cm12 based rom), as I found out it happens even after I turn off the app.
Good luck!!

Hello
Thank you for the info i tried to reproduce but couldnt
please find the screen shot please check if the app is correct "Word app"
since you have the issue even when you turn off the service i think its not related to SmartScreen
