RDF Seeker (Android Edition) Updated 1-18-2012

RDF SEEKER
Now with more android!
For details on the windows version of RDF Seeker see my XDA thread here
Hello everyone!
Say hello to the newest RDF Seeker!
This puppy is an all new concept designed specifically with Android in mind!
Who wants to search for rdf files? I sure don't! I say let your phone do the searching! RDF Seeker for Android is designed with this exact concept in mind!
Unlike the windows version of RDF Seeker which is designed for batch rdf searches,
RDF Seeker for Android checks for the latest rdf file automatically and then notifies you when a new RDF is found!
>>Features List<<
Automatically checks for new RDF's so you don't have too.
Supports downloading RDF files into a reading friendly format
for viewing in a text editor on your phone.

Hey, I am jumpinh over here from the Epic Touch side. You have a popular following over there. Anyways, I had a feature request.
Would it be hard to add a custom box to search for a device that is not thought of yet. Suppose there was a SPH-XXXX that was coming out or even a HTC device. It would be great if there was a custom field. I know how to search it in the browser but your app would add some convenience for that purpose. Especially since it automatically checks.
Thanks

Sorry for bringing back a thread from the dead, but there are many new devices out there with RDFs...
Galaxy Nexus - http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-L700/
Galaxy S3 - http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-L710/
Boost Galaxy S2 - http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D710BST/
Nexus S 4G - http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D720/
Transform Ultra - http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-M930/
Conquer4G - http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D600/
Confirmed LG RDF for Viper - http://device.sprintpcs.com/LG/LS840/LS840ZVG.rdf LG appears to just go up one letter/digit ie LS840ZVD, LS840ZVE, LS840VZF, etc
Here is a guess on a Motorola variant of the rdfs....
Photon Q - http://device.sprintpcs.com/Motorola/XT897/
I don't know what the Motorola releases are named, but its worth a shot...
Basically if you go to http://device.sprintpcs.com/*manufactuer*/*model*/ a 404 means bad request and a 403 is forbidden, meaning there is a folder there, but file listing is not available.
It would be nice if the search was variable, IE give the user the opportunity to input the Device Manufacturer and Model into the search string. Let's say the Galaxy Note 2 becomes rumored as SPH-L720, give a search where the user can select Samsung and enter a model number and your app search on it.
Also, a submission option would be great to get new model numbers to the developer for addition to the app.
Maybe make a free and paid version with the paid version being able to search for user entered strings. I'd pay a few bucks for that...

Love all of the suggestions. Some have been previously mentioned and I had begun to look into them (User specified model number) but due to life getting in the way (Read having a full time job) I have been unable to make any headway towards another update.
If and when I get some time to get to work on this app again, I intend on doing a full rewrite in order to implement many of the features you have specified here.
Thanks for letting me know that there is still an audience out there that finds this app useful.
Thanks for the reply, I'll keep digging and adding info here.
Here are two confirmed Motorola rdfs for the Photon Q
http://device.sprintpcs.com/Motorola/XT897-SPRINT/771Q6SPR89ASA36.rdf
http://device.sprintpcs.com/Motorola/XT897/771Q6SPRASANTIG33.rdf
You can also do the following to get the latest RDF (not sure how accurate this is)
http://device.sprintpcs.com/*Manufacturer*/*Model*/latest
http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D710/latest
http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-L900/latest
http://device.sprintpcs.com/Motorola/XT897/latest
http://device.sprintpcs.com/LG/LS840/latest
http://device.sprintpcs.com/HTC/APA9292KT/latest
Quick update.
I've started some basic work on a new version of RDF Seeker for Android.
The new version will include many of the features requested by users as well as some I have been thinking of since I first started RDF Seeker.
Some features which will be in the new version are:
1. User defined devices. No more hard coded devices!
2. Ability to view the latest RDF for a device.
3. Multiple device searching! No longer will you be forced to choose a single device to monitor. Monitor as many as you want!
One thing I would like to make people aware of is my intent make this app ad supported. Ad's will be minimal, and there will be a paid version ($1) which will remove them if you want. I know it's a bit of a bummer, but hey I have bills to pay ya know.
Do to the amount of changes needed to implement many of these features, I am going to have to re-imagine pretty much the whole GUI/Workflow so there still isn't an ETA.
Just wanted to let anyone out there who still uses this app know that work is being done!

Amazon Alexa on Samsung Gear/Galaxy Watch (Alexa Gear) - Beta thread

Hello everyone,
This is the announcement of our new Gear (Galaxy) watch app. It is basically a full-featured voice assistant using Amazon Alexa voice service running on your watch.
Today, we will be starting a closed beta and hopefully if we can solve all issues, the app will be released in 10-15 days.
The application consists of a GUI on the watch and a companion app which should run on the Android phone. (only Android , no IOS unfortunately)
The Android companion app is released at:
Alexa Gear
Without the watch app, the companion Android application is useless.
We have a few known issues, and before a full release including watch side application, we would like to identify and solve all issues.. That's the reason of this closed beta.
The app supports following Samsung Watches:
Samsung Gear S2
Samsung Gear S3
Samsung Gear Sport
Samsung Galaxy Watch
If you are interested in beta testing, please see below notes for beta testers, and provide your information in the form of following example by sending an email to mrmrmrmr(at)gmail.com
Email Subject: Application for AlexaGear Beta Test
Email body:
Name: John Smith
Email: [email protected] (your email address used to login for Samsung Galaxy/Gear App Store)
Phone Brand/Model: Samsung Note 9
Watch Model: Samsung Gear S3
Phone OS: Android 8.0
Notes for beta testers:
Beta application will be open from now on and will be closed when we believe all required type of users are selected.
Applying for the beta does not guarantee that you will be selected as a beta user. We would like to keep the beta group small with enough sample of various watch/phone models.
Beta process may continue untill the application is released.
Beta download link will be provided to selected users starting later today.
Notes about the current state of the application - also important for beta attendees:
The app is not fully released and this is a closed beta. It may cause application force-close on your phone.
The debug version of the app may cause high battery usage on your phone since it is not optimized.
You may have to install Amazon's official "Amazon Shopping" application on your phone to login, if it is not already installed.
The current version of the app outputs the voice response from Alexa on your phone and not your watch. Voice response will be sent to watch in a later release.
We expect from beta users to share their experience in the form of following only. All other communication attempts may be missed (i.e. different mail subject or wrong form of mail body);

SMR Update Schedules and Bulletins

Here is a list of the major Canadian carriers and flankers update schedules. They should be similar for the rest of the Americas at least.
Please add to this list for your region or carrier.
Some are more thorough than others, some less.
I've also included LG's SMR bulletin and Android AOSP SMR bulletin.
Google devices will almost always get updates first. SMR, OS and otherwise.
I actually think LG isn't doing too bad for this device, glad I chose Android one.
Anyway, here's some stuff:

Don't bother trying the link, both the OP's post and the link are fake and misleading.

New firmware 6.7115 for x900f and tv 2018

Greetings to the experts here at the forum. I have one question for you. About three days ago Sony released a new fw for tv advice 2018. So far only for the US region. According to Reddit, it's going to be Android 9 after F900X. Doesn't have any experience with this update. Alternatively, it could not someone confirm that it's android 9. Change log writes that it's just Ui from Android 9.But people on reddit post screen with new Kernel a Android 9.Link to a thread from reddit here https://www.reddit.com/r/bravia/comments/iz0e77/new_firmware_released_for_sony_905f_in_la_with/
Here, too, the google play dev. consoleI says that MT8591 receives support for Android 9 https://twitter.com/androidtv_rumor/status/1309429630177341450?s=09. Philips TV also uses this chipset but uses 1.5ghz clocks. There's someone in the U.S. who could try it. The information is very small. Sony is still silent. Could someone confirm this information to me or disregard android 9 for tv series x900f. Thank you in advance.
I was wondering the same thing.....I have a XBR-55A8G (2018) and it's listed to get this update but I wanted to see if people are pushing the update ahead of scheduled release
