Talking clock compatible with S3? - Galaxy S III Themes and Apps

Hi,
I've tried different talking clock apps, but fail to find one compatible with S3 without bugs or lack of key features. I was wondering if anyone had better luck?
Key features:
- speaks time every 15 or 30 minutes
- Silent period (shuts up between X pm and X am)
- won't drain battery like there's no tomorrow!
Whatever you do, don't buy Audio Clock by SURFSOFT LABS. Junk.

Thank you, will try right away. I had read a review that said it gives time at random, any problems with that?

Well, I didn't had that problem. It just don't always start itself after a reboot. If I start it manually it works.

Well, I tried a few, but they all have bugs/annoyances:
EQ STime : mutes all three audio channels after a while, need to reboot.
Audio Clock : randomly gets out of sync with your time interval. Not reliable at all.
Speaking Clock: TellMeTheTime : No way to set silent hours (don't speak time when I'm sleeping). Otherwise, this app seems to be the most stable.
Talking Clock: Can't remember why, but it wasn't very good
Still looking...

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.

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

Things you don't like in GS4

Well lets duscuss.
Personally I do not like that using NOVA launcher instead of Touchwiz doesn't allow to get transparent status bar.
It could be NOVA issue, but developer responded me that "Unfortunately the status bar is a function of the system software/rom and cannot be changed by a launcher"
BTW stock Touchwiz has awesome transparent status bar.
Also I do not like new Settings organization in groups. Before if was much more convenient.
I dont like too.

the transparent status bar is coded in a way that it's part of the SecLauncher. this is the same for the wallpapers. if you use a non-stock wallpaper, it won't be transparent up there even if you are using the stock TW Launcher SecLauncher. my first mod for the phone will be with the SecLauncher to improve it so more will like using it. later i will just mod the SysUI for those that want a transparent status bar while using a 3rd party launcher.
in regards to Settings grouping, there may be a firmware update later that will allow you to change it back to non-grouping. was it LG that did something similar with their Optimus G line? they had this option to change from day 1 so i don't see why Samsung wouldn't enable it in a firmware. however it's possible that they never allow this. but i'm with you on that. i had to look for things longer than normal on my bro's phone because of this.
Sound quality when listening to music... is absolutely horrible. Spent a few months with an iPhone 5 and got used to awesome sound quality. Decided that I ultimately couldn't stand the limitations so I switched back to Android. Only to realize that, as a music lover, sound quality means a lot. And this device needs some serious tweaking.
I tried the Equalizer app from the Play Store. Still has a lot of crackling and popping in the background when playing music via Play Music.
If anyone knows an equalizer app that works flawlessly on this device please let me know. Otherwise I'm stuck waiting for CyanogenMod and their awesome EQ.

[Q] HOX - International - 4.2.2 - Voice Record

Hi there people!
I know about the root + txt file method with 4.1.x, but I've been wondering if the 4.2.2 update changed anything.
Anything as in some option that allows a voice recorder to work.
Even client side record would be great (two-way would be heaven).
Anyone been experimenting with this?
If it's absolutely non-doable... could you link me a ROM that is 100000000000000% stable/works and got voice recording?
I'm willing to root the phone as the warranty is over anyway. But the user is my father, and he is an 'old guy'. The rom should be 100% working/stable/etc, if I don't want him to have a heart attack because some 1337 h4xx0r thought messing up core apps is a good idea.
(^ The above is just an example, I respect the work of the fellow XDA hackers.)

Most of roms with good support will works just fine without any restart for weeks, but after some time (or after instaling some apps) something can go wrong.
I've got ProBAM v4.4.1 and call recording is working but it's not a good choice for "old guy"
Try sense 4+ roms like Viper or ARHD - they were good looking, easy to use, rock stable and call recording (2way but without bt) was working fine.

Thanks for the link, will check soon.
(Also, f.ck HTC. I mean, what the hell. Premium priced phones with subpar experience. My girlfriend's Note works like a CHARM with voice recording. It's the damn stock rom without anytihng, and it works both ways, clearly. I hate HTC. Never again.)
(I'll also have to make sure his data won't be lost. I had to return his phone. Backed contacts up with 2-3 apps. All failed and he lost 20+ people. :/)
Update:
@ Recording: Ah I saw that TXT weeks/months ago. But people been saying that the notification and other sounds were sped up and there been other problems with this workaround. I wonder how it works/why that happens. I thought there are mods where they fixed this somehow else. ( I saw mods which included this "fix". )

Yep, all hardware works but to make 2way sound recording you have to unlock, root your phone and apply "Sound_Phone_Original_REC.txt" patch.

Unlocking my phone was one of first things I've done after buying it (because of blated operator software), so it wasn't a problem for me.
I agree that everything should work with stock firmware without unnecessary things to do.

Contacts, app list, wallpapers, photos, wifi pass list and many others are backing automatically using your google account.
Utils like Titanium Backup or Helium can also backup program data and settings.

I also has this *bug with speed up ringtones and voice recording files using PA3.6 rom.
Complete shutdown and powering up phone (not standard restart) fix it.
Fortunately recordings are working fine when playing them on PC/MAC, so it can be problem only with amr files (didn't try mp3 yet)

Could you enlighten me about this bug ? (thank you very much for your replies, they help, a lot.)
I mean, how are the sounds different? How do you notice?
The backup: The problem was due to the app my father uses and the different way to store contacts.
Basically, he thought a smart phone, is a smart phone.
He had a Nokia before, and used it to contain every detail about people. Like 3-5 numbers.
When he got the HTC, he started to input contacts by using the online interface.
It sucked. It messed up everything. Like the numbers got mixed up and such.
Finally, MyPhoneExplorer let him to create his contacts.
But then... he needed a Contacts app too. (The default sucks.)
So I went on the market, and GOD BLESS the creators of Contacts+. It IS what the default should look like.
The rooting: It's a business phone so to say, he works on it/with it all day. Well, he relies on it as he relied on the Nokia.
You know, like you would rely on your dog, the best buddy. And that's why I didn't want to risk it.
Warranty is the other problem. The phone already had a yellow tint, and a few weeks ago he dropped the phone and the corner of the protective glass got cracked. It's nothing, but it voids the warranty. (There is insurance on the phone, so I'll just return it when the company goes out of stock from the One X and ask for a One. Seriously, they ask for a high insurance price monthly, and they would give you an "obsolete" phone.)
SO YOU WERE SAYING... (the post got tl;dr, sorry)
Which rom you say I should install?
I rooted phones and such, but f... I almost bricked a friend's Milestone. (Lucky it had two recovery ways to fix things.)
So... yeah. Any "non-ricer", standard, rock-solid rom.
Thank you!
I already owe you a beer.

When playing recorded call on phone it plays 2 or 3 times faster, so you cannot understand a world.
The same thing is with ringtones (played much faster than it should be).
Files are working fine(normal speed) when played on other devices.

About rely on Android phone:
For more than a year I use HOX like a normal phone (calling, sms) about less than a week, and as a normal phone it's OK - battery lasts for 4-5 days (not close to Nokia: week or two
Almost everyday I'm using mp3, gps, mail, camera and it has drastically impact for battery life.
Phone lasts for max 2 days with 2-4h onscreen time.
So, except battery life you can relay on it

They're stable, easy and quick to use (lighting fast camera comparing to AOSP/CM), lot of custom options with as good or better battery life comparing to stock HTC rom.
Or wait a month and see what people will tell about sense5 roms.
I've got some issues with cpu freq lock to 1,5Ghz, 8h daining battery to shutdown wakelocks and call recorder doesn't want to work on MaximusHD 20/21 with sense5.

Okay, last two:
- How is that ringtone speed up? Is it annoying?
(He certainly won't reboot the phone all the time as there are times when he is receiving calles each minute for hours.)
- So I'll stick to the simple root method, and wait for Sense 5. (It looks neat. I mean, damn, it is slick.)
Which root method should I follow? The one in the recording thread post (you linked)?

It depends.
After beer or two or after a joint you don't care a lot;P
Seriously: just check by yourself.
Take any ringtone and play it with fast forward mode (most of media players has that feature) and imagine that you hear this when someone is calling.
I had this issue only once, just after applying patch. After complete shutdown and powering up it was fixed for me - phone worked about 2-3 weeks without restart or any kind of problems.

I will apply the fix on this weekend.
But damn, it already creeps the hell out of me.
- I will lose every data again. I don't even know how to backup anymore. I used apps, desktop apps, HTC"s tool, everything. Then I still lost some really important data.
- I have to provide the unique ID of the device. I fear. If I ever break it (got insurance on it), will they claim it as a jailbreak problem?... I mean, of course software and hardware got nothing to do with each other if the glass breaks on the display for example, but we are talking about big evil companies.
How comes Samsung phones works perfectly (like they can record OOTB), but HTC sucks this much?
And HTC can design a proper phone (One), while Samsung uses a plastic crap body (S4/Notes).
Life isn't fair I guess. (But functionality > design, so this was our last HTC. Ever.)

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

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.

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!

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

this will have features of a pro version but it just gives the feel not the functionality

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.

Thanks!
cool...from the last movement detected phone will wait for (defaultscreentimeout - say 3 seconds) to actually turn off the screen..
is the screen staying on for more than defaultscreentimeout value...!

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

No buddy, I meant the "Word" application. You know...the one from Microsoft. Lol!! Anyway, the bug happened also with firefox...
Yeah maybe it's my rom's fault. I'll give it a try again when I switch to another one.
Good luck with the app!!
Ooops sure let me know if you come up with any issues..working on optimizing it so may be an update with minor improvements will be out later some time...
Thank you
V2.4 is out...!
V2.6 is out...Check it out
