[Eee Pad Transformer General] earlyberd:
I hate trackpads that enable tap to click by default. It's near impossible to keep from hitting it while typing, and I often click on things by accident even when intentionally trying to just move the mouse. To me it's an absolutely useless feature, especially with dedicated left and right click buttons already there below the trackpad. I realize I can disable the touchpad altogether via the hotkey, but that's unnecessary unless I have an external mouse plugged in.

Now normally on desktop operating systems, there is a configuration utility for enabling and disabling advanced mouse features. This is not the case with Honeycomb, and Asus didn't see fit to include their own third party app for handling it, either. What options then do I have, if any? Can tap to click be disabled?

Edit: There now exists at least one custom kernel that can permanently disable tap to click. Grab it here. There are no options yet for those that want to be able to enable/disable on the fly.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] glgehman:
You can't disable tap-to-click, but at least you can disable the trackpad completely (top row of buttons between bluetooth and screen brightness).

Considering you can use the TF screen as a touchpad, this should solve your main problem; as it did mine.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] psufan5:
or pick up a Bluetooth mouse.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] earlyberd:
Yeah, I ordered a Bluetooth mouse yesterday. It would just be nice to have some more control over the existing hardware.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] h00ligan:
There's an API to disable it, but not updated for 3.1 yet. Afaik it's being integrated into the custom firmware too...the thread's around here somewhere, lol... Sorry, too new to this!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] earlyberd:
Just wanted to update on this issue. A dev by the name clemsyn posted a modded kernel that disables tap to click. This permanently disables tap to click until you flash to a different kernel, though you won't hear any complaints from me. :p

You'll will of course need root and a custom recovery, and I run it alongside the PRIME! v1.4 ROM. Grab the kernel here.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ageitgey:
Thanks to Samsung for the prompt update! Thanks to Google for the free tablet! :)

To update, just go to Settings->About Tablet->Software Update->Check for Updates.

If you don't have a Samsung account, you will have to create one. I'm in the US, but there wasn't a choice for that so I chose UK and it worked just fine.

It will download the update and reboot to install it. The download is pretty quick, but the update takes quite a while to apply. Once it gets to about 73% complete or so, the update inches along very slowly. So just be patient.

After the update, the lock screen background is different but all my settings were preserved.

About tablet (after upgrade):

Android version: 3.1

Kernel: 2.6.36.3

Build: HMJ37.UEKF3 P7510UEKF3

EDIT:

- The upgrade does not make you loose root access. This tablet really is a dream for developers.

- I don't see any evidence of any TouchWiz components anywhere. It still appears to be stock.

- Since this is a WiFi tablet, there's still no access to the Android Video Store (plus I'm rooted). Supposedly that is only enabled on 3G tablets for some reason. Oh well, who cares.

Have fun!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] stinky73:
Hi, has it got the awful touchwiz built in or is it still "vanilla" android?

My thanks, like you, to samsung for the update and the tab:D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tau_:
I have rooted my IO tab and froze some of the samsung system apps with titanium backup. I'm hesitant to update until I get some more information.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Nimche:
I don't think if touchwiz is ready yet. It will be updated later...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Archangel:
Does this break root or CW recovery? Or can you boot into fastboot after the update?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] stinky73:
Same here, rooted, apps frozen with TB.... not at all worried at the quality of 3.1 update versus 3.0.1 delivered on the tab at IO but would have to fall on my ceremonial sword if I updated and ruined a lovely piece of kit by subjecting it to touchwiz... More than my honour could handle :eek:

No disrespect but not interested in comments repeating ill informed speculation from" uninformed" blogs, just want a straight answer, so if you are still online ageitgey can you tell us yes or no as regards TW - thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] -Pagan-:
Thanks a ton!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cosimoss:
Downloading as we speak. :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ageitgey:
There is no sign of TouchWiz in 3.1. It looks completely the same as before, except minor differences (new lock screen background, slightly different wifi icon, etc).

Root was preserved after my upgrade. RootExplorer still works fine and was granted root permissions.

I didn't have Titanium installed, so I can't comment on that. But I doubt there would be an issue.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] onovich:
anybody else having issues updating?

I am getting

"Failed to update firmware. Try again useing PC software (Kies) or visit a Samsung service centre."

not really sure what to do from here.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] stinky73:
Concur, no sign of touchwiz, root preserved, titanium works fine. Bizarrely background color of text box when writing this has changed from white to blue and font is dark blue. Apps seem to work ok.

Well report other changes as and when found
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] borinque:
onovich, you are not alone. I get the same thing.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] stinky73:
Maybe try what it says and try kies ( latest version of course and make sure you have installed latest drivers for the tab in kies- tools menu-" install driver")
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] onovich:
I did, it doesn't connect via kies. It just spins saying connecting. although windows has no problem recognizing it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] SS2006:
oh thank god, ive been checking everyday for a month

any ideas on how to get the android video store working
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] SS2006:
any official change log

is usb host mode enabled
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Archangel:
mine says the same thing are you rooted with clockwork as your recovery?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] CrazyCoder:
Kies says that "This version of the device cannot be updated".

OTA update doesn't work because I've rooted the ROM and installed busybox.

Probably after reverting to stock ROM via Odin OTA update will work?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] NZtechfreak:
Updated here, not too many changes noticeable to the end user. Wonder about USB Host - I suppose we need an adapter of some kind because of Samsung's proprietary 30pin port?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] SS2006:
so whats the official word on updating

will it work if you are rooted , or unlocked bootloader, or both

[App] *TrackMe* GPS Tracking tool for Google Earth & Google Maps. Now avail. for WP7!

HISTORY

TrackMe is the conversion of the popular tool written originally for Windows Mobile 5 and 6. This version of Windows Phone 7 still doesn't have all the features than the original one, but if people keep interested I will continue adding them periodically. You can find the original thread for TrackMe here

WHAT IS TRACKME?

TrackMe is a GPS tracker. It uses the location services on your phone to retrieve your current position. That information is later used for displaying tracks (realtime or pre-recorded) with Google Earth, Google Maps or other tools.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

TrackMe uploads your data to a server. If you don't have an internet connection or you prefer not to use it while you are tracking, you can store your data locally on your phone and upload it later when an internet connection is available. You can use my server (free of charge) for uploading your data. TrackMe is already configured to use this server by default.

HOW CAN I VIEW MY DATA?

Once your data is uploaded you can view it by going to http://luisespinosa.com/trackme and using the web viewer for Google Maps developed by the community. You can also export your data to a KML or GPX file and use Google Earth or any other tool that accepts that format. Remember that you cannot view or export your data until is has been uploaded to the server.

WHAT'S NEXT?

As I mentioned there are still many features that are not available for WP7 yet. If there is enough demand I will keep working on this tool. Some of these features are the ability to upload pictures (extracting the GPS data and match them with your existing positions), force updates with your own custom icons and comments, extended trip summary information, send your location by email/sms, Geofence and many more.

I hope you enjoy this tool. If you have any comments or want to contribute please use one of the links located in the About screen.

Seems very cool, could perhaps use this as a way to find your phone if you lose it or it gets stolen
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Unfortunately that's something you cannot do right now because you cannot have apps running in the background in WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] mendel129:
Nice! Used this on my 6.5 device! ;)

Thx!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] _LEM_:
You're welcome. Feel free to post any comments or suggestions that you may have!

Cheers
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] _LEM_:
If you guys like TrackMe, do you think you can help me by promoting the app by writing some reviews in the WP7 marketplace? You don't have to give me 5 stars, just what you consider to be fair.

There is a guy who just uploaded an app called Track_Me that has nothing to do with me and he posted a negative comment for mine. It just says 'so bad'.

Very stupid doing that, because it's so easy to trace it and find out he is a developer.

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Pxoeb6mU:
I've been using TrackMe on my HTC Touch Cruise for a long time and have been very happy with it.

But nowadays I'm using an Android phone and haven't found anything working quite as well as TrackMe did. I guess you haven't got any plans to also produce an Android version?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] the0ne:
great, will add it to 1800pocketpc

Actually, after installing and trying it, TrackMe fails to upload data.

Is there a problem with my MySQL server? Have you changed the data structure?

Any help would be very appriciated!

Best regards! :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I think that problem is related to the regional settings on your phone. I will check it out. Thanks for letting me know.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] arvicor:
My phone is set to German/Germany.

Problem occurs on another device, too.

Thanks ahead :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I have tried changing to those regional settings and I don't get the error.

I think the problem is with your MySQL database. I have the impression that the old TrackMe sends the lat/long like x.xxxxx

This new version may send more decimals. Maybe you can make some changes on your MySQL server to accept more. That should resolve the problem.

Please let me know if you try. Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] _LEM_:
This error only seems to happen to people using their own servers. If the server is configured to use regional settings that uses a comma instead of a dot, it will cause this problem.

At this moment I don't know when I will fix that problem. I thought it was going to be a quick fix but after trying it seems to be something very delicate so I will have to spend more time on it.

So far I haven't seen too much interest on TrackMe for WP7, so I don't plan to fix this problem for now, specially because only happens to people using their own servers.

If people start showing more interest in the future for this app, this will be the first fix that I will include in the next version.

Sorry about that! :(
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] hometownnerd:
This is the reason I am considering VERY STRONGLY to go WP7

I have been waiting to make the move from WM6.5 to either Android or WP7 and now that I have seen this, I am very strongly leaning towards WP7 finally, I bike and this app makes it possible for my family to see where I am and see if something may have gone terribly wrong or even find my phone if it were to fall. I would love for this app to continue to be developed very much.

Just wanted to let you know there are a few of us WP7 users that are wanting this app and wanting to tell you THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!:D

Larry
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] _LEM_:
THANK YOU! I appreciate your comments. Please post your impressions about the app and what you would like to be added or changed.

I hope you have fun with TrackMe!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] hometownnerd:
I will definitely do that!

I will definitely do that, I am thinking I am placing the order on Tuesday so hopefully have the phone in a couple of days and then will get the app on it. And then will let you know what I think and if I find any thing that may be nice. Seems like not a lot of people are heading towards WP7 but hopefully that will change as the phones start coming out. I have developed for WM6.5 but will need to see what it is like to develop on WP7 now, is there much difference between developing on the two platforms?

Thanks again,

Larry
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] _LEM_:
That's great!

Programming for WP7 is very easy compared to WM 6.5

Everything is very well integrated, documented and easy to use. Unfortunately you don't have the same freedom that you had for WM and there are many restrictions about what your app can do or not.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] weusi2:
Is this available for android?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] _LEM_:
No. Maybe in the future.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] weusi2:
I researched this app and it has been given some very high ratings. Impressive.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] weusi2:
I'll keep checking back though.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] hometownnerd:
I have used it on my new HTC Trophy

Just wanted to let you know, I have used this on the HTC Trophy and it worked flawlessly, and this is with my own server, it had my track very accurately which is quite impressive. I will use it a bit more this weekend and give you some more feedback, I just wanted you to know I had in fact used it and loved it. One feature I would like to see, is the ability to only upload the data on a schedule to save battery life, so like only upload data every 2 minutes or so, so store the entries every so many feet and then when you have gone 2 minutes or whatever time frame is set it will upload all entries since last update. Is that a reason to not use this, HECK NO! The app is great, just throwing it out there.

Thanks _LEM_ and Luis for this great app!!!:D

Larry
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Larry,

Thanks a lot for your comments!

I have thought about that feature a few times...but I'm still not too convinced. In my opinion, the real reason you want to upload your positions as soon as you receive them is because you are interested in live tracking (somebody else will be checking on you using the viewer) However, if you are not interested on this, why don't just upload them when you have finished tracking? Wouldn't that save even more battery? Is there really an advantage in uploading them every 5 minutes?

I usually always use TrackMe in offline mode. Then when I get home and I connect my phone to the power or to the computer, then I upload whatever I have.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] hometownnerd:
I understand what you are saying

My reasoning is this, not that it is the right way to think but just my opinion, I do want people to see where I am when I am cycling, but since the distances I cover may not be that great then an update every 2 minutes or so could be enough to show I am near here while still giving them relatively live updates. I would really rather keep updating live over going to an offline mode, especially if I am taking some longer trips. Since they hide almost all information from us in WP7 I really cannot tell how often I am on a data connection and even what my battery levels are so I am not even sure that going to this method is worthwhile, maybe WP7 just keeps the data open all of the time anyway. I do know I am going to need to get a bigger battery for this thing anyway! I hope that explains what I mean enough, I know, it was in the older version and liked that, but again that is not a reason for me to stop using I love it as it is. Thanks for listening.

Larry
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] _LEM_:
That's a good reason. I understand.

However, have you tried playing with the "Movement Threshold" setting?

If you specify a bigger number there you will get less updates so you will not be uploading that often.

Anyway, I understand your point and I will consider it for one of the next updates. Thanks for your feedback!

PS: It seems the interest for TrackMe on WP7 is growing! I'm very excited about this. By the way, I added ads in the latest version. I hope you guys are ok with this...I tried not to make it too obtrusive.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] hometownnerd:
Maybe I will try that

Very good point! I might try that, although I still need to really use it to see how far I can go before I kill the battery.

Personally, I am seeing ads as a normal part of apps on WP7, and if it helps you get compensation for this app, thats great! The screen is big enough, I think, to handle ads that size. I am much more likely to use ad supported than I am to pay for apps, money is just too tight for that. Have you noticed much money in the ads, or is it still too early to tell?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Since I added ads for TrackMe I got like $1 :)

For my other app, Distant Galaxies, I got $80 the first month which was great. However this month went down to $25.

Hi

I have some question to ask you. If I need to send data of latitude and longitude, picture. How writing a code of C# ? on WP7. How work?

Thank you.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Basically what I do once I retrieve the lat and long using the location services on the phone is to make HTTP calls to a web server passing the lat and long as parameters. The web server will read those parameters and it will insert the data in the database.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] john_innova:
have some sample code or source code?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] _LEM_:
You can check the method DownloadStringAsync from the class WebClient. That's what I use to make the HTTP calls.

Here is an example

Hi LEM

First at all, thank you for your latest update - TrackMe is running with my regional settings now!

I would like to underline, that the TrackMe users I know are very interested in a option to send updates e.g. every 20 secounds only, too. This option existed in TrackMe for WM6.5... The movement threshold is a work-around, but useless if you're walking instead of driving. Maybe this will rethink of implementing such an option...

Another thing is, if you click on "upload offline" without having any offline data, TrackMe fails with

Don't bother about reviews like u got on 10.09.. Most users are not informed about the idea behind tracking software, especially TrackMe. Any live tracking software needs a server, where they have to sign up.

I really love your app! Keep on going!

Regards!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Thanks for your comments and your suggestion! I will probably add that feature soon.

I cannot reproduce the problem that you are having when uploading offline data. Did you click on the button to delete offline data before trying that? It's strange that you get that when there is no data. You should get the message 'No data available'

Maybe you have data but it got corrupted somehow. Hopefully it's not the case...

Hi. LEM

I have some qustion? How to change my password account on trackMe? Because I don't want to change my account but need to new password to sending data to web.
