Hello everyone!

I've just built and released pressureNET 2.0, an app that collects user-submitted barometer readings with hopes that I'll be able to use the data to improve short-term, local weather prediction and eventually give users a personalized, 30-minute-range weather forecast. While only the Galaxy Nexus and Motorola Xoom have barometers, all Android devices 3.0+ can run the app and view the map.

Currently we attempt minimal interpretation of the data since we have only about 1,200 active users. However, as we grow our user base we will overlay useful weather information on the map, such as changes in atmospheric pressure over time. This can be correlated with radar imagery to provide improved weather forecasting.

The source code for both the Android app and the server side is on our blog at cumulonimbus.ca. Thanks,

Jacob

Testing now....

I am downloading it now to check it out.
[Android Apps and Games] 0vermind:
This app is pretty dang cool!! There are a lot more devices with a barometer now. Galaxy Nexus is one of them. Everyone who has a Galaxy Nexus should download this. Once it gets big enough cool things are going to happen from it I'm sure!

The OP has asked me to post the market link:

https://market.android.com/details?id=ca.cumulonimbus.barometernetwork

and his blog post announcing the 2.0 release:

[Android Apps and Games] cumulonimbus_ca:
Hi everyone,

I want to update you quickly: we are now receiving almost 500 barometer readings per hour from our users, which means we have grown massively since the launch of 1.0 and even since the 2.0 launch. For some perspective, just two weeks ago we were receiving only 80 per hour.

We really want to grow this to be a large network that will enable us to improve short term weather prediction as well as contribute to collecting global climate data. And so, pressureNET 2.0 has a whole bunch of new features:

- My Info button to show personalized statistics and your recent submission graph

- Log Viewer to see your last day’s worth of submissions

- Pressure tendencies viewable on the widget

- Export user data now available in CSV

- Multiple UI improvements and fixes, including a fully revamped widget

You can read more in the blog post and download the app from the link 0vermind posted above. Thanks!

[Atrix 4G General] billyblonco:
Im thinking about getting the A2 but the OG seems good enough for now. If i get the A2 I would lose, Finger print scanner, dual band WIFI (5ghz),dual L.E.D flash, 48gb (w/ 32gb sd card), 1930mah battery, and tricolor notification light. The only gains i see with the A2 is 4.3" screen,1080p recording (only 24fps) and 8mp camera. Is that enough to make the switch? what do you guys think?
[Atrix 4G General] Chubby_Skunk:
Get the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II. It's better than both the A2 and A1 in every way. Plus it has waaaaay better ROMs.
[Atrix 4G General] malickie:
Truthfully from having just got the A2 I really barely notice anything missing at all and the UI is so much smoother even without a custom rom and kernel. As for the SGSII people tend to forget the AMOLED Screens have burn in as well as the fact that you have to spend extra money to get the HDMI Cable well you do with the A2 unless you already have a micro HDMI cord which I did. Dual L.E.D Flash is whatever thats personal preference. Finger Print Scanner I Never Used, never noticed wifi and if your using that much memory you should stick with a Real Laptop. Either way the A2's build quality feels a lot sturdier than the original and don't get me wrong the SGSII is a good device just not That good as far as I am concerned.
[Atrix 4G General] craigbailey1986:
It just depend on if you want it or not... I never owned a atrix so I wouldn't know but the atrix 2 is a great phone. I chose it over the gs2 because samsung has yet to make a phone that GPS works out the box. Motorola makes great working phones hardware wise and for someone like myself who was a flashaholic I am finding myself just wanting a phone that works....lol... the atrix 2 so far has.... but if the og is good for you, then wait to see what google says!
[Atrix 4G General] lilhyper:
I use fingerprint scanner exclusively. It's amazingly convenient for me and usually I swipe as I am taking it out of my pocket and by the time I have it up to my face it's unlocked and ready to use. Just for that alone it would not be worth it for me to go to A2. I almost feel like Motorola helped me develop this dependency and the scanner and now they are abandoning me... It'll be tough to go back to pattern locks and all those that require me to look at the screen to unlock.

End of the day A2's got almost the same hardware. I don't see it as much of an improvement. I am personally holding on the the Atrix and waiting for a better phone to come along next year.

If I were forced to upgrade, I would go to GSII just for the developer support. I can't find a single reason to go to A2.
[Atrix 4G General] shanghei:
I am not the biggest samsung fan, but I had no problems with the sgs2 gps.

Captivate is a different story though.
[Atrix 4G General] rodger-sp:
It records video at 29fps on 1080p and 29fps on 720p just so you know.
[Atrix 4G General] Rayan:
My thoughts exactly...

Also I NEED the fingerprint scanner since I have control of several cars from within my Atrix 4G thatnks to Tramigo M1. It would be VERY BAD to have my phone stolen or lost with that application in there.

Fingerprint scanner and Lapdock accesory alone, make me stay put with the Atrix 4G..

Also, I will try my best to stay away of any AMOLED based phone, period.

Cheers!

Hello xda!

ive just upgraded from the evo shift to a evo 3d i unlocked the hboot 1.5

i know that i have to use fastboot to flash roms/kernels

im just wondering what everyones best setup is?im looking for something with good battery life and alot of tweaks.I dont really really care for eye candy or themes lol they would be nice but i noticed the themed roms ive tried have bad battery drain.ive tried pretty all of the recent ones on xda but im wondering if there are any older ones or something that are stable and have tweaks with good battery life?

let me know what you guys use as a everyday rom

im tired off always flashing new roms lol
[HTC EVO 3D] b1gsby_02:
Scrosler's CleanRom if you like your stock rom, but want a few enhancements, cleaned up, and much better battery life.

[HTC EVO 3D] Rob_ec:
lol which version of viper rom?and whats a good kernel to go with it?

i tried synergy but it went from 58% too 34% WHILE I WAS ASLEEP this is what i meant ive tried alot of roms and most of them dont sleep!!!

oh yeah and i know what u mean about the beats lol its just a little eq u need
[HTC EVO 3D] dementio:
I've tested almost all of them, and I'd have to recommend either InfectedROM Eternity or Warm TwoPointThree. Those two offer the best stability and speed without sacrificing battery life.

Or do like others have and spend some time testing all of them.
[HTC EVO 3D] YoungSinema:
No one can tell you because we all have our own personal preferences. All you could do is test them out. ROMs are like food to me. I can't tell you what you will like because it taste good to me.

[HTC EVO 3D] Rob_ec:

[HTC EVO 3D] Digglerwolf:
you can't go wrong with either warm 2.3, eternity, or clean rom. I jump between those 3 roms. if you are looking to overclock I suggest mwalt2's bcblend however I personally run with the stock kernal as my daily. my phone is the in house dj at my work so run pandora all day long connected to wifi. I average between 12-16 hours of battery.

e3d mirroring

does anyone knows if the infected rom support hdmi mirroring
[HTC EVO 3D] willfck4beer:
infected seemed to support mirroring via mhl.

*Infected eternity is the sexiest (IMHO) especially with that default background!

*WTSB 1.9 is awesome (seems to be the only one with the 1080p 3d and 2mp FFC?*)

*Myn Warm twopointthree now seems to have the same 1080p/2mp that WTSB had and it has nice themes, mods, community of Mynions.

Still waiting patiently for CM7.1 for the 3d!!! I want me some HID and HDMI out... thin client! sucks having to reach for the phone to interact with netflix, hbo, etc while watching on the pico projector!

*CM7alpha3 is great - but not a daily driver, my home button doesn't even work, no 3d?, no hdmi? BUT - HID BT mouse/kb work?

*MIUI is VERY cool and interesting - but no 4g yet!
[HTC EVO 3D] jerofld:
I ROM hopped for awhile. I'm on CleanROM now, as it is rock solid stable. Synergy and Viper kept random rebooting on me, even with stock kernels and the bcblend kernel that I'm running on Clean. Clean is also far more customizable than any other ROM. Infected was just a complete pain in the ass when it came to SU. I had to run the SU fix, then SU would update and completely **** up everything that required SU. I'd clear the updates and then everything would be fine. Then SU would re update the next day and repeat. I even formatted /system, /data, and /cache then reflashed Infected, got the same problem. Infected looks nice, but the whole SU thing was a PITA.

So I'm thinking I'll stay on CleanROM for awhile.
[HTC EVO 3D] Fantarrific:
i think you have to try out each rom with each kernel because even though you might have the same phone as someone else, roms/kernels/mods work differently on each phone for some reason. i wish it wasn't like that :(

i'm in the same process as you right now, trying to find a good rom/kernel combo for a stable battery efficient phone. i'm on about day 5 of straight reflashing and testing. wasting so much time! but so much fun! and so frustrating!

i'm on hboot 1.50 and i just rooted my phone about 5 days ago, but i had my EVO 4G for a year and I've been rooting that thing like it's going out of style.

i'm gonna try Warm TwoPointThree now.

[Sony Tablet S] DW14:
Is it possible to use the tablet S (paired to a driod X) as a speaker phone in the same manner as as using a bluetooth headset?
[Sony Tablet S] unclespoon:
I think headsets were designed specifically to act as bluetooth speakers with your phone and contain all the necessary hardware and software to do such. Your tablet s has no such hardware or software; yes, it has bluetooth, but it is not designed to operate that way. Maybe if somebody wrote a software program to do it, it could, but for the mean time, no your tablet will not work as a speaker for your phone.
[Sony Tablet S] Vancelot:
I have been able to pair my droidx with the tablet, but not much else. Has anyone been able to stream or transfer files between the two?
[Sony Tablet S] Lunat1c:
I use FileExpert for it. Rightclick on file --> Share via Bluetooth

Rarely use Bluetooth tho, mostly ftp share (also possible with FE)

Well I'm sure thats not what u meant, but its the only way afaik. U could get urself an online number (e.g. Swype) and just forward all calls from ur droid X to this number.

Works fine, but I was told the caller didnt understand me as clear as he did with my phone's speaker turned on.

not the answer to the OP's question, but its the answer to the thread question is

"Acase" case for Evo 3d, similar to otterbox commuter. The case comes with 2 screen protectors as well.

I really like this case more then the commuter. The back shell has a nice touch to it. It feels well protected and thinner then the commuter. No problems with sound from speakers. And the one thing i like the most is the camera is protected.

Pics are now up, enjoy!
[HTC EVO 3D] wardfan220:
Me too, lol.

Nice pictures and review. I personally use the defender because of how hard I am on the phone at work, but that would be a great case to use if you want a little smaller phone (as most know the defender makes the phone HUGE.)
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
Looks really nice, thanks for sharing! I have to many cases already, but I may end up buying this one too anyway... I'm a bit of a case whore...
[HTC EVO 3D] mozman:
I received my case last week. Here are my thoughts..... I like this case a LOT.

Pros

- Fits great, like a glove. There is nothing loose.

- The case is fairly thin. I previously used a generic version of the case mate barely there, which is thinner that this, obviously, but this case does not add that much thickness to it.

- Buttons for power and volume as very easy to push and feel the clicks when the buttons are depressed

- If you notice the pics from jtgarza3, you'll see that the silicone wraps around nicely onto the screen. Unlike other cases, there's more of a 'bump' at the front of the case. I think this makes the case feel less bulky when holding (A PLUS IMO) and it keep the screen off the table when face down.

- Hard shell case has the soft touch paint and wraps around all side of the case... more so than the Otterbox and CaseMate versions (which I think are bulkier)

- 2-layer protection should offer some protection from drops [cushioning of the silicone and hard case protection] ... at least better than my generic barely-there case.

- Thin - yes again.... That's my biggest requirement to have a good case with protection, yet as thin as possible. It think this case gets me there.

- Price - For $10 you cannot go wrong!

Cons

- The silicone does attract some dust and lint, but not a magnet by any means. But you will notice a layer and with a quick wipe will restore it to the nice slick black silicone look..... this is really the only downside that I have so far.

If I had to rate this I give a 9 of 10. Knock a point for my only con.

Hope, this is helpful for those on the fence or those looking for a nearly perfect case.

Edit: Just to add that I also own a TPU case from TPU-Cases.com (smoke matte style). While I like that as well, I still prefer this from Acase. Plus I found the smoke matte TPU case to not have any real grip.
[HTC EVO 3D] shortyboy:
for those with the case,is it sticky when putting or removing from your pocket?i have the commuter and noticed its hard to remove from pockets...also noticed that it has actual plastic protecting the four corners...as opposed to the commuter which uses the silicone to protect,which is useless cause i dropped mine and the silicone compressed back and the ground scratched my phone..thanks for the post...will be picking this up..

Sent from my HTC Evo 3D
[HTC EVO 3D] jtgarza3:
it is real easy to remove from pockets and does not stick or peel like the commuter. I have the commuter and prefer the Acase over it.
[HTC EVO 3D] mozman:
+1 The hard case, despite having soft touch paint is not tacky or sticky.
[HTC EVO 3D] Marty:
I just got this case in today and while I like it a LOT, its probably not going to replace my TPU matte back black case for daily use.

Pros:

- The case is really high quality, well worth the $10 and should probably be sold for more than it is.

- Case fits really well, all the cutouts line up perfectly.

- Case adds minimal bulk, similar to the TPU cases.

- The buttons are extremely easy to push (vs the TPU cases which require a little bit more effort IMO) and you definitely get some nice tactile feedback.

- On the areas of the case where it isn't covered by the hard shell (camera module, around the ports/buttons, etc), the silicone is significantly thicker/reinforced.

- The soft touch paint feels really good in the hand.

- Like the fact that the cameras are protected to the max vs other cases that just have one giant cutout for the entire module.

- Easy to take in and out of pocket.

- Comes with a screen protector and microfiber cloth (already have a screen protector installed so didn't try out the included one)

Cons:

- Like most silicone-based cases, the silicone liner is a major lint magnet.

- I also don't like how the silicone lining comes right up to the edge of the LCD on the left and right sides (covers the black rim that surrounds the screen). This may arguably provide more protection but aesthetically speaking, it doesn't look as good to me as the shiny black rim from my TPU case that only comes up to the edge of the device (and not the LCD).

- Speaking of that rim, the one provided by the TPU case feels slightly thicker/more substantial than the rim provided by the silicone liner around the LCD. This is important to me because I feel the TPU material would provide an ever-so-slightly larger buffer between the LCD and the ground if the phone ever got dropped face first (but I'm really splitting hairs here). The silicone also feels like it would compress more vs TPU material if dropped, so that thin buffer/lip created by the silicone around the edge of the LCD might not be as good as TPU material at keeping the screen out of contact with the ground if the phone was dropped face first (pure speculation on my part though).

Aesthetically speaking, I like the TPU case better but that's just my opinion. The Acase may provide slightly better protection if the phone was dropped on its back or on its side due to the silicone/hard shell combination. But the TPU case may be better if the phone was dropped face first due to the slightly larger buffer/lip the TPU case should provide between the LCD and the ground. In the end, both the TPU case and the Acase are fine options and I don't think you can go wrong with either one (I will probably end up switching between the two of them every so often).
[HTC EVO 3D] ColdH33t:
Just got this case in the mail today. I used to use the Commuter case and I just figured that I would get used to the flap. Got annoyed and just took off the case eventually.

This case better than the Commuter in almost all regards. The only point where the Commuter is better is that the USB port on the Commuter is covered. Sans that, this case is great.
[HTC EVO 3D] mozman:
Glad you like it. What flap are you talking about? Also is it a lot thinner than the Commuter?

[HTC EVO 3D] ColdH33t:
Well the Commuter has a really bad habit of loosening out along the top and bottom because it's not supported there. It's pretty much solved on this case.

And yeah I think it's thinner than the Commuter but it's not so thin as to feel bad. It's feels quite solid. Much better than the Commuter IMO.

[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
Got my case... i think this is damn near a perfect case for me.

It feels slim and durable, I love how it covers the camera lens area. Only gripe is, I think the rubber wraps just a tad too far around the front of the phone..I may take a hobby knife and trim it back just a tad.

All in all, thanks for posting.. I was in need of a case like this. It's an obvious Otterbox ripoff, but, as far as the 3D goes... it is miles ahead, not even close.
[HTC EVO 3D] shoffman00:
IMO, Otterbox make the best cases. I am currently using the defender and it has already saved my phone multiple times.
[HTC EVO 3D] mozman:
Dropped my phone from about 3 feet up. It hit the bottom of my car door entrance and then the ground. All is fine, except for a couple scratches in the bottom corner of the hard case. Still a satisfied owner of the Acase.
