So what's the easiest way to receive reminders based on my location? I'd rather not use something that requires as much setup as Tasker. Setting reminders using the calendar or alarm app is quick and simple, that type of interface would be perfect.
For example: I need to ask the local coffee shop owner about a fundraiser. I want to be reminded to ask him the next time I stop by for some coffee.

You could try Llama. I think it has an option for that. It is location aware.
I search the same thing and someone advices me to use Astrid Task/To-do List with the locate plugin... But I don't use it, because Astrid wasn't good for me, so I stop my search for the perfect app for this kind of needs.

I'm a developer and I want to develop my first official market app. I've developed a couple of applications but just for personal use and experience. I have gathered a group of very talented developers and we are onto something big.
What would be an app that you would like to see developed? The app (or apps) with the most popular demand will get started on immediately.
We've been considering a couple of ideas. Anyone down for Airplay for android? tun tun tuuuuun..or maybe not. Maybe a crazy cross platform game?
We are open to suggestions.
Thanks

This is an easy one
Develop and apk that fully integrates your Contacts with your Calendar. So if I want to schedule an appointment with John I just go to is contact record and select "make appointment". It then creates a link between John and the Calendar for that appointment. So if you are looking at the appointment you can easily call John, navigate to using address or add notes to his record.

Thats not a bad idea. I understand where you are coming from. It would actually come in handy. It would have to be an extension to the original android operating system. Unless I were to make an entire new contact app that would integrate these features easily.
Towards the end you say "..looking at the appointment you can easily..."
do you want to be able to just click his address from the calendar and open up navigator?
I'm too lazy to pick up the books and relearn what all I need to know, but, I've had this idea tossing around in my head for awhile.
Make an app to basically create a data set and determine your battery estimated maH, and if you need to recallibrate it. Once you have all that data, there are tons of things you can do with it as well, its just a matter of making the program light weight enough to run in the background so it doesn't re-do calculations and eat up juice.

Considering most TVs use IR, and the evo lacks an IR port, there is quite a substantial hardware limitation.
How about a torrent app? Utorrent?

The concept is so that you can create an appointment for a contact in your calendar that is linked between the contact and the calendar.
For instance, when I make an appointment with Joe, Joe's information such as his phone number and address are instantly accessible from the calendar. That way if I need navigation to Joe's address I can access it directly from the appointment without having to manually type it into the calendar program.
These links could also easily allow me to say "show me all appointments for Joe". Or if I am on way to Joe's and running late I can call or text Joe from the appointment record instead of having to look it up.
The idea is to automate and reduce duplication of effort. Never type the same information twice - link to it instead. There is an app called "Contact Event" that comes close to doing this the but it doesn't actually create a link, it just pastes contact data automatically into the calendar record when creating it. The difference would be the link which would make it a relational database concept as opposed to just cut and paste.
When creating a new contact your app should also generate a Primary Key that uniquely identifies that contact. Then when you make an appointment for that contact, you simply drop their Primary Key into the appointment record, link the two tables and you are done.

Phajen is absolutely correct, the problem comes with the hardware limitation. It's almost ipossible unless the tv itself is on wifi

Trust me if I knew how to develop something like this I wouldnt be looking for ideas on forums.
What you CAN do is take one dollar bills remove the metallic ink they have on them if you put them to soak in sodium combined with carbon...ehhhh.....never mind.

Interesting...I'm gonna check Contact and Event and see what it's like, I would just have to beef it up a little bit. I will get back to you one this but I like the idea.
An app that lets you add on to the existing code to your liking.
Or a series of apps, a basic twitter client, a home launcher, a clock widget. Something easy we could build on *from the phone* without the use of Eclipse. If that's at all possible.
We now have Stericson's Signapktic app that allows us to sign zips, apks, and jar file from our phone so we're slowly getting closer to something like that.
Stericson's apps are pretty awesome.
How about and app that lets you dynamically re-arrange your homescreens without havin to drag icons around?
You can do this in the MIUI Rom but I hate the apple-like interface so I dont use that rom.
I know u woild get rich off the apl alone lol

Hi, do we have a similar app like Reminders for iOS?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Don't know really what features Reminders has. But when I think about all the ads ..."Remember me to buy some milk, when I' leaving office"... appropriate apps for you could be: Tasker, Locale, AutomateIt, Llama
These are all apps to automate process (e.g. reminders based on your current location) - unfortunately all without speech recognition.
Hope this is what your are looking for...
What about Wunderlist or AnyDO?
They don't look exactly like Reminders for iOS, but are easy to use, yet powerful.
COL reminder is good
i use Any.Do. Pretty good.
I just started using S Voice, and its pretty cool. I was wondering is there a way to use it with apps other then the default apps. For example, if I use it to create an alarm, it will use the stock alarm to create the alarm where I would normally use the "Alarm Clock Ultra" for all of my alarms. Same thing for notes. Instead of using S memo, I would like to use Evernote. Any ideas? Thanks
Bump....any ideas?
im sure its possible
However I would imagine a bit difficult. The lack of responses to this just adds to that suspicion. I would reccomend, (after searching a good bit and making sure its not already covered of course) that you take this question to the i9300 forum. Bet someone there knows. Good luck
I am looking for an NFC task to wipe all text messages and wipe browser history and stuff, anything like that exist or can be created?
Cool use if that is even possible.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
yeah I'm still looking for a way to do this.
You'd have to look at Tasker/Locale, with the NFC plugin. I don't use either, but I know people have been asking for SMS delete for a while.

I've been playing with tasker and I can't figure it out, maybe someone with better tasker skilz can, in the meantime I will keep looking.
Perhaps the DEV of NFC Task launcher and the new feature that is releasing in the next update of app will allow this. Referenced here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30263230&postcount=8
It would be easy if you say, found an APP that deleted message and browser history, and then set up a simple task launcher activity for that app to execute the activity. That way, you wouldn't have to use tasker (which I personally don't like- i dont want all these middle-men apps controlling everything)
Hello everyone,
My dad has purchesed the new nexus 7 and he's very pleased.
since he's eyesight is not what it used to be
he bought the new nexus 7 so he could read emails in landscape mode (wide view)
and he wants to see the mail message on the whole screen.
Too bad in the gmail application you see on the far left side all the other messages taking about a 1/4 of the screen
size.
is there a way to disable it or use a 3rd party application so my dad could see he's emails in full screen?
Also,
Since i'm new to tablets how do you use the gps nevigation,
I mean there is no 3g so I cant use waze and so on.
Would be helpful to understand how can we use the gps to nevigate while driving.
thanks alot you guys!
You could install an offline map. I use OSmand, an open-source map, which means that it tends to have a lot more detail than proprietary maps. It includes maps for the whole world but you need to pay if you need more than 8 installed. It also includes navigation, setting your own POIs, a Wikipedia layer if you have enough storage space, etc.

Once the maps are installed it does only use GPS.

you wouldnt know by any chance any 3rd party mail application
who can help me with the other issue?
I don't use third-party mail apps. But any mail app should be able to retrieve mail from Gmail, either as a POP3 or IMAP client. I suggest you search the Play Store for "email" then do a Google search for "Gmail POP settings".

use IMAP not POP for battery saving

andOSM is good, and allows for caching. I also highly recommend Orux maps if you want to do treking etc it is my favourite.
E-mail App's I recommend k9 mail (it is FL/OSS - and support a bunch of cool features) You can change font sizes etc within it. Also don't use POP3 for collection in gmail. Turn on IMAP and use that instead - as it allows push notifications and you won't each up your battery with having to check with the server if mail has arrived as you would using pop3.
The OP said, "My dad has purchased the Nexus 7" so I recommended POP settings...
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
K9-Mail has everything full screen in landscape and you can set font sizes for everything too. You can turn off the split screen in settings.
