I updated the App today. I'm really sorry that I haven't updated it in such a long time but I'm really busy with school and work at the moment.

Changelog:

- Native Android ActionBar

- Better support for Honeycomb (3.0)

- Supports Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0)

I struggled a bit with the new ActionBar but it now works great. Now that I got full support for Tablets and all kinds of new devices I'll get on the other requested features like having multiple widget skins etc.
[Android Apps and Games] speedy_11:
Great app, clean, lightweight, no shady permissions.

The 12 hour time format seems broken. It still gives 24 hour military time in date time selection.
[Android Apps and Games] slonn:
Now, even better with the transparent widget option :)
[Android Apps and Games] cTrox:
The 12 hour setting doesn't affect the dateslider unfortunately. The dateslider should use the android locale settings (US should result in 12 hour format). It's a bit hard for me to change that as I didn't code the dateslider myself (https://github.com/bendemboski/DateSlider).

Thanks! Just noticed a bug with the transparent widget, it wasn't updating properly.

Fix (1.22) is already on the market. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] slonn:
A request: can you modify it so it can sync across devices? I have a Nexus S and a Motorola Xoom and Notifier is installed on both. Would be nice if it's possible to set a notification on the phone and it will show up on the tablet as well.
[Android Apps and Games] jolas:
In last version (1.22), when a notification comes up and try to open it through status bar, I always get a FC.
[Android Apps and Games] cTrox:
That would be really cool but I would need some kind of webservice to do this. At the moment I don't have the ressources (server etc.) but it's something I always wanted to do and I will keep it in mind.

Thanks, I can reporduce that and will look into fixing it soon.

Edit: Put up version 1.23 with fixed click on notifications.
[Android Apps and Games] slonn:
I'm no techie at all, but I think it's possible via the Dropbox api. So users who want the sync option available must have a Dropbox account. There's a dev who managed to sync texts via users' Dropbox accounts. Dunno if this'll help you :)
[Android Apps and Games] cTrox:
Thanks for that tip! I looked through the API for a bit and it seems to be a great platform to do something like this. I'll look further into it when I got some more time, on the weekend.
[Android Apps and Games] cTrox:
Alright, just published a big update.

This version is currently only for Android 3.0+ devices. You can still use the app with older versions of android, but some features won't be available.

Version 2.0 Changelog:

- User Interface updated to match the Android Holo-Theme

- Action Bar now uses native Android functions

- Dropbox Sync Beta: this lets you sync your notifications accross multiple devices

- Fixed crash when clicking on notification

Please try out the new Dropbox Sync feature and let me know if it works alright.
[Android Apps and Games] motodroidfreak:
great app.

can we see version 2 on non honeycomb and ics devices?

if you need help testing/coding let me know!
[Android Apps and Games] cTrox:
Thanks!

The problem is that I wanted to implement the native action bar. There is a compatibility pack that allows the action bar on older versions of Android but it doesn't support ActionMode.

But I will release a version with the Dropbox feature in the near future.
[Android Apps and Games] Skreedi:
Nice app, works great on LG O2X with CM7-KANG. Geat work!
[Android Apps and Games] slonn:
Tried to sync to Dropbox but when clicking on the green Allow button it gives a network error.
[Android Apps and Games] cTrox:
Works over here, tested on several devices. The dialog with the allow button is a part of the Dropbox app. Check if the Dropbox app itself works fine. Also, what Dropbox version have you got? I'm on the latest one 2.0.1.

Edit: Nevermind, I just found out why it doesn't work for you. I have to use different app keys for the release version. Sorry about that will update it ASAP.

Edit2: Totally forgot that I have to get an approval from Dropbox so I can get the public keys. (Facepalm) Uploaded a new version which greys out the Dropbox option until I get the approval.
[Android Apps and Games] cTrox:
Ok, I implemented ActionBarSherlock today and some other support libraries to make it compatible with older Android versions.

One thing that isn't working with the new version is the white/light theme. I'll have to wait until it is ported over to the new ActionBarSherlock.

I haven't gotten the approval from Dropbox yet, but as soon as I get it I will unlock that feature.

Edit: Huh funny, just as I finished this post I received the approval from Dropbox ;)

Will upload the unlocked version ASAP.

Edit2: New Version is live, should appear any minute in the market :) Please test the new Dropbox feature and tell me how it works for you.
[Android Apps and Games] slonn:
Received the update from Market but the version with sync was not among the features. That setting is still locked.
[Android Apps and Games] cTrox:
I updated the app twice in about 20 minutes, I guess the market got a bit confused by that. You can try reinstalling it from the market. I unlocked the Dropbox feature in version 2.02 and you probably got 2.01. If you still can't get the new one I can upload you the APK File.
[Android Apps and Games] slonn:
Uninstalled and reinstalled it and sync now appears to be working, though I haven't checked it on my Xoom yet as I'm still at work. Will check tonight.
[Android Apps and Games] slonn:
OK, I've tested the sync function and couldn't get it to work. I enabled Dropbox Sync on my Nexus S phone and my Motorola Xoom tablet. When setting up a notification on one device it does not show the notification pop up on the other device. Both devices are running ICS and synced to the same Dropbox account.
[Android Apps and Games] cTrox:
Just uploaded 2.03 to the Market.

Fixes a few bugs:

- Fixed widget layouts and buttons

- Fixed bugs with checkbox selection

- New popup notification dialog for 3.0+

Thanks for testing!

Dumb question, but have you tried pressing the refresh button? Automatic sync isn't implementet yet.

Also could you check if it created new folder in your Dropbox? (MyDropbox/Apps/Notifier Sync/)
[Android Apps and Games] slonn:
Where do you refresh? I'm using the widget when setting up notifications. I checked in the Dropbox account and there was a new folder created as you described, but nothing in it.
[Android Apps and Games] cTrox:
Ah, there's the problem. It doens't sync yet after creating a notification from the widget. Will be in next build though.

To sync now just open up the app and press the refresh icon (the two cirle arrows).
[Android Apps and Games] slonn:
Is it necessary to refresh on both devices? Eagerly awaiting the next version as I only use the transparent widget when setting up a notification.
[Android Apps and Games] cTrox:
Yes it is right now. I will implement a option to let it update automatically every hour or so. Won't have a lot of time today though.
[Android Apps and Games] cTrox:
Updated the app with the following changes:

- New option added for automatic Dropbox sync

- Fixed a bug with the widget time and date

And also it syncs now as soon as you create a notification from the widget.

It took me a bit longer because testing with recurring sync intervals is pretty time-intensive. Please report back how the new auto sync option works for you.
[Android Apps and Games] slonn:
Have sync set up on my tablet and phone. Every now and again I get a pop-up message like "path/notification.db set" (along those lines). Not sure what this means.
[Android Apps and Games] cTrox:
This message appears on your PC? If yes then this is totally normal. The app updates a file on your Dropbox (Dropbox/Apps/Notifier Sync/notifications.db) and the Dropbox client on your PC just informs you about that.
[Android Apps and Games] gabx:
Hi,

I can't install from market, maybe coz of cm9.

Any download link, as I do think your litle app could help me in managing all my daily tasks (buy milk, call Dr, etc).

TY
[Android Apps and Games] cTrox:
I'm also running CM9 over here. The market probably doesn't like your build.prop. Does it say it isn't compatible if you try to install it from the market website?

I sent you a download link to the apk via PN but you should try to fix it because like that you won't receive any updates ;)
[Android Apps and Games] slonn:
It appears on the tablet and the phone. Not sure if it's any good to you but it says the notification path is not found.
[Android Apps and Games] cTrox:
But the sync still works? I'll look into it, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] slonn:
Yeah, I think it does. Perhaps those pop ups are just notifications every time the sync process runs
[Android Apps and Games] cTrox:
Ok, I guess I know what the problem is then. It displays a message after a sucessful sync so I guess that message is somehow broken for you. I'll look into it tomorrow.
[Android Apps and Games] xantoy:
Nice App! I tried it and it worked, i'm going to use it instead of other To-Do-Apps now. It also looks really great, well done! :)

[Android Apps and Games] slonn:
When setting a notification a second later an error message saying "Unfortunately, Notifier has stopped" appears. But the notifications still seem to work.
[Android Apps and Games] cTrox:
Thanks for that report, found the bug.

Version 2.1.2 is up with the following changes:

- Light Theme is back, you can enable it in the settings

- Fixed crash with uploading to Dropbox for the first time

- Fixed database leak

Sorry that it took me a week, I was on skiing vacation ;)
[Android Apps and Games] slonn:
Is this bug fixed in 2.1.2? I have that version but still get the error message.
[Android Apps and Games] cTrox:
I'm unable to reproduce your problem. It only crashes if you set the notification time to the current time? From the widget, application or both?
[Android Apps and Games] cTrox:
I released a 'plus' Version of the app two days ago.

It costs 1$ and adds the following features:

- Additional notification icons

- Ability to dock notifications, 'remind later' button (Android 3.0+ only)

- Dropbox Sync, to you sync notifications across devices

- Removes the ad

Google Play link:

Looks great!

[Android Apps and Games] thatothergirl:
Repeating notifications?

Hi,

Nice app, good job so far! Any plans to add repeating/recurring notifications? I would totally use this for things like my twice-weekly reminder to park on the correct side of the street for street-sweeping days. (Right now I use my task manager, but things like that really aren't tasks.)

Thanks,

Jamie
[Android Apps and Games] cTrox:
Yes, this feature is already on my to do list for Notifier+. I'm not sure if it will make it into the free version though ;)
[Android Apps and Games] thatothergirl:
Good to know! I already paid for the plus version so that works for me! :)
[Android Apps and Games] zachjen:
First off this app is great. Clean look, very simple and just works. I used to use COL and now I bought the + version of Notifier.

One request I have is when you press "remind later" for the notification could we have the option to pick different amounts of time to "remind later" right from that button press? i.e. press Remind Later and have a wheel to choose 10 min, 30min, etc. or tomorrow (which would remind 24hrs later).

Also if there are reminders currently in the notification bar and I reboot the phone the notifications are gone from the notification bar and show completed in the app when phone boots back up. Any way to make them show still show them as active reminders after a reboot?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] cTrox:
Thanks you!

Thank you too for buying the + version!

1. Great idea! It will be hard to implement a wheel on the popup without cluttering it to much. I will look into it though.

2. Should be possible to implement, will look into it if I have some time.
[Android Apps and Games] cTrox:
Just released version 1.0.3 of Notifier+:

- Added repeating notifications

- Adjusted list layout to fit better

- Fixed icon choose dialog background for some devices

Feedback is very welcome as always :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baritoneguy:
All,

I am hoping someone can provide the Bell Canada NAPDEF xml file from one of the phones officially supported by Bell. I have a Samsung Focus which is not supported.

The NAPDEF will allow me to get the MMS properly working. I will use one of the provxml methods to load the settings.

Thanks in advance

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Genesis3:
Ok, I don't get it.

Porting CM7 and I have an odd one - the stock email application blows up when an account is added. Tracing it down I found the problem - the Sqlite schema is defective. Here's what I have in /data/data under the appropriate directory, examined by Sqlite3

sqlite> .schema account

CREATE TABLE Account (_id integer primary key autoincrement, displayName text, emailAddress text, syncKey text, syncLookback integer, syncInterval text, hostAuthKeyRecv integer, hostAuthKeySend integer, flags integer, isDefault integer, compatibilityUuid text, senderName text, ringtoneUri text, protocolVersion text, newMessageCount integer, securityFlags integer, securitySyncKey text, signature text, accountColorinteger);

Note the last field. There's supposed to be a space there; when the table was created the type statement was obviously keyed next to the field name without the required space. It also appears that SQLite is perfectly happy to create a field in a table without an explicit type declaration, which disturbs me, but it is what it is.

Here's the thing - obviously somewhere there's a declaration of that variable and type in some file somewhere. Right?

Well, where is it then - because I can't find it with a complete pass through the source using find / grep!

Nevermind - found it. The android guys were cute with the defines in the code and it indeed was a missing space in the email provider source.....

---------- Post added at 03:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 AM ----------

where are you getting your info from?

Looks to me that it will exactly the same as the Transformer plus a sliding keyboard.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] thebadfrog:
I'm really interested to see if it has the new sbk
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
Just google hands on reviews by people. Supposedly, it's slower and sluggish compared to the TF.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Thrillhouse847:
Keyword being "supposedly".
[Eee Pad Transformer General] asdfuogh:
I don't see why they'd use weaker hardware specs if it's basically the same size.. Isn't it the same thing with a built-in keyboard, maybe some reshuffled parts to balance or lighten it up?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
No argument here. We'll just have to wait and see.

That said, I wouldn't want one. When I use my transformer as a tablet, I like the light weight and the thinness of it. I like the option to be able to turn it into a laptop when I want it to.

With the slider, it's either a very thick tablet or an awkward notebook.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tubular:
I agree with GoodIntentions. You're locked into either a very think and clunky tablet or an awkward netbook with a fixed angle.

Neither are good.

But with the Transformer you aren't locked into any, you can either have a free tablet which s lightweight and easy to carry or a good netbook with adjustable angle.

I don't know what they were thinking when they devised this.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] phoranix:
But slider makes the change way faster - i prefer tf though (tablet less heavier and the extra battery).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SwiftLegend:
Dropping into the dock takes 3 seconds. Sliding up the stiff screen takes 2 seconds..Is that really a big difference?

Asus pulled a Motorola with this one. Delayed it and took forever to launch, and when they finally did, it is outdated. They could've atleast put a OMAP 4460 in there instead of the now old Tegra 2..Hell as long as it has taken, they could've delayed it for another month or two and put a Kal-El in it..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
Haha, here we've been joking about the moto xoom. Moto engineers really did it this time. As a way to compete with the ipad and ipad 2, moto engineers managed to cook up a tablet that's twice as thick and twice as heavy at twice the price as an ipad :p

My Slider arrived from Circuit City Tuesday 9/27. Been playing with it and have my review with photos up now. It is top of my blog until the next review, but nothing in the works right now. Click on photos to enlarge them. Enjoy.

Can you please tell me if Viewing angle can be adjusted or not? If want to watch the streaming movie in bad, could I move display more upright?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] spyderman33:
When open it is fixed... just close it and watch it the same way you would a Transformer.. no a big deal.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Xavion2004:
I love my Slider, I got it from BestBuy last night and I havent put it down. Those saying its clunky obviously havent held it. Its thick, sure, but for me it feels just right Not sure what the obsession people have lately with paper light products. The screen is fixed but with the IPS display you barely even care. Then again this is my humble opinion and Im one of the guys you passed on the EVO because the Epic had a keyboard I love physical keyboards and imho Asus has a winner here.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 4dthinker:
Yes, the screen is fixed at one angle (about 38 degrees above horizontal) when up. Magnets hold the two together when closed. The Owners Manual suggests keeping credit cards away.

Nicely engineered IMO. The top and bottom were designed as one, and the shape flows from one to the other when closed.

Link to my review.

Happy to answer any questions about it.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] caanda45:
Saw the slider today and I am liking it....but not sure if I should wait for the tegra 3 chip that is supposed to be out this fall....ugh but I think if it does come out, it will not be in the slider form factor which is nice. But if they follow suit with Samsung I think the transformer 2 will be lighter and thinner.

Help to sway me one way or another!!!!!!!!???????
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Erusman:
Same here waiting for Transformer 2. Should be out few months. Using Gtab for now.

Its back.......its for low memory devices. Has zero impact on performance on our tabs.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Danzano:
No it's not it also has memory management settings for over one gigabit of ram

And a few handy tools like engine flush to drop all system caches etc
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lilstevie:
one gigabit is low memory, and I hear roms like prime already drop all system caches
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mb02:
Its not a matter of whether the script is made for low or high memory devices. The fact is that only lower memory devices with third party skins have memory management issues (constant need for killing apps to keep launcher running, accidentally killing launcher due to memory intensive apps, performance bogged down over time, etc.). Transformer doesn't seem to have memory management problems and neither do most Honeycomb tablets because memory is abundant and management of it is significantly better than in Gingerbread and earlier. Not to mention having dual core processor vs single. Anyone using this script with a Galaxy Tab or Transformer and claiming any sort of performance increase is simply experiencing placebo effect.

[Galaxy S II General] dav08094194:
Ive had so many phones over the past year it unbelievable but the screen on the galaxy s2 is so much better than what they mention in reviews. Theres no friggin way this comes second to the iphone retina display, Resolution isnt everything.

I took a picture in the dark the other day without the flash by mistake so when i clicked to preview the image i though for a moment that my screen had turned of because of how true the blacks were.:cool: . Im sticking to Samsung for as long as they make phones because i am impressed with what they make, just a shame really that apple are having there products banned in some country's :mad:

Give your opinion It will be nice to see what all you think aswell?
[Galaxy S II General] dullah:
yup! top notch screen. When they add high def to it..it will be scary!
[Galaxy S II General] schriss:
Galaxy Note has the same type of screen, but with 1280 resolution :D
[Galaxy S II General] DarkDvr:
Super AMOLED, not Super AMOLED Plus.

Quite a big difference, actually.
[Galaxy S II General] nunomeneses:
This display remindes me of old ferrari engines. The sound and the rev fantastic, a pleasure to drive, but some of them had early problems and the lifetime where actually quite low compared to others.

This display has great things, vivid colors, contrast and real blacks, the viewing angle... but some have yellowish tint or blue, strange paterns on grey or similar colours, and if you go and see the displays of S2 exposed on stores that stay on during days you can see the display doesnt live long withou shadows and yellow spots, and the known ghost problem...
[Galaxy S II General] schriss:
Well, I don't experience any of these yet. Read that color tint was software problem. Anyway, my display needs to last 1-2 years max. After that I will be using new device.
[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
The colour tint isn't a software problem, but it can be "masked" by software so that it's not noticeable. Either way though, you're right. It is a great screen and other than resolution I can't see anything better about. It'll last me my contract for sure.

When I take a black photo and show it on the phone in the dark I can see the screen light up a little. Is this how it is supposed to be or is it just my phone?
