Black Box Recorder Use

This would be very useful as a dash cam, vehicle black box, plane log app. Put your device in a holder and attach to the dash or windshield. Start app and set it to record when GPS detects motion and stop after x minutes of non-motion. Record outside the vehicle or plane straight ahead with the main camera. Record inside the vehicle or plane with the front camera. Sync to same timeline for recording/logging purposes.

Could be a good use for an old Android phone if capable of doing it.

Just an idea.

not a bad idea at all....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justin94:
I no longer have the nexus as I have gotten the s3. That being said 4.1.2 is suppose to have the ability to have the ability to use split screen..... just saying open up the camera on one screen and open it again with the front camera on the other screen.... maybe even some screen recording in there to capture both on one clip

I don't remember any show I have been to.
[Off-topic] boborone:
Two I wish I had seen.

Best show

GWAR

Hardest hitting

Lamb of God. Pantera, devildriver, and many more bands came out to play with them at the end of the show.

Best surprise

Metallica closing for ozzy. Then King Diamond came out and played with them. They played tons of old punk songs. The sheriff's dept ended up having to come out and close the show. They played for two hours after the show was supposed to end. Noise ordinance killed the party.

A week before Buddy Guy inducted in the Rock n Roll hall of fame, I saw him play with Double Trouble, the band from Stevie Ray Vaughn. That was pure greatness.

I probably see about 40 shows a yr. Come from a college town known for music. Blues, rock, and jazz greats come every year for the Denton arts and jazz fest. I love all music.

Saw "38 Special" at a medium size club/bar on Pensacola Beach. Simply amazing. (the club was so tightly packed that I felt as if I was in a can of sardines) They sounded "live", as tight as their studio recordings. You could have put a pair of good mics in that room, and cut a record with little to no editing. I've also seen G3 (Satriani, Malmsteen, and Vai) who also put on a great show.

Saw Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention at the Fillmore East, Blood Sweat & Tears (but was too young to remember much). The Blues Breakers at Max's Kansas City. Van Halen, Whitesnake, Dokken and the Scorpions.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tricurious:
Hey all,

I’m thinking of switching from my Galaxy SII to a Windows Phone 7 based phone. As of now, the switch is temporary till SIII comes out but maybe who knows if I like it, I might just stick to WP7 after all.

Major usage of my phone is in Emailing, Messaging, VOIP, Calls, Navigation, Music, Browsing and News reading. I’m dependant on the following apps on the Android :

Swype

Google Reader

Gmail

Google Docs

Google Maps

Google Talk

YouTube

Any.do (Task management Application)

Dropbox

Polaris Office (Full fledged document editor)

IMO (Multi-messenger)

Skype

Teamviewer (Remote desktop)

My Data Manager (App to keep a track on bandwidth consumption)

and some less frequently used :

Zedge (just an easy to use source for wallpapers and ringtones)

SoundHound

Facebook

So given the above usage pattern and apps that I’m on dependant on, do you think I could switch to WP7 painlessly ? Are there any alternatives available for my apps ? (Swype or something similar is a must)

Couple of more queries..

Also, I’m thinking of getting the Samsung Focus so if I get an unclocked device would there be a possible scare of getting it locked again once I update the firmware (either officially or custom) ?

How is the battery life on the Focus ?

I am not much aware of Sideloading/Jailbreaking of a WP7 device and the Custom ROM scene , is it similar to Android ?

Can I debrand Focus or should I consider Omnia 7 instead ? (I’d prefer Focus as its thinner than Omnia)

What is the best ROM out there and when updating to a newer ROM does it wipes all the data ?

Is there any lag in the phone ? Maybe after installing too many apps (like how some Android phones lag)

Is multi-tasking experience (apps/services running in the background) similar to Android ?

are there any other limitations worth mentioning on WP7 / Samsung Focus?

and what about the plus side of WP7 when comparing to iOS and Android ?

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anseio:
There is currently nothing remotely similar to Swype on WP7.

WP7, currently being a closed OS, does not have the option of swapping the native keypad for a Swype version. There's an app called Slyde that attempts to be like Swype, but it cannot until the ecosystem changes.

You will have access to document editing for Word and Excel docs via Office. It's quite handy, especially being able to pin files to your home screen.

Dropbox isn't so dandy yet, IIRC, but you will have access to 25GB of SkyDrive storage.

With what you've mentioned, I'm not sure WP7 will be a smooth transition for you. It's definitely worth a shot to see if you might like it, but will take some getting used to. See what you can live with and what would be a deal breaker.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drupad2drupad:
Swype -None, WP7 native keyboard prediction works impressively!

Google Reader - 6 or more apps available. Fuse seems to be popular.

Gmail - Syncs natively without any glitch.

Google Docs - You might have to save your docs onto Skydrive which integrates natively on the WP7 (free 25GB storage too!)

Google Maps - GMaps Pro or Bingle maps. But Bing works fine, integrated too.

Google Talk - IM+

YouTube - YouTube Pro or Prime Tube.

Any.do (Task management Application) - don't know this app's functionality.

Dropbox - BoxShot for Dropbox, 3rd party client, works without any issues for me.

Polaris Office (Full fledged document editor) - I've heard of this one. But Office built-in won't make you feel the need of Polaris. However, what sort of editing do you normally do?

IMO (Multi-messenger) - again IM+ (?)

Skype - there is a beta that won't run in background, but otherwise very much working, excellent call quality. It should come as an app in a month or two and hopefully integrated with Apollo (rumour).

Teamviewer (Remote desktop) - RemoteDesktop7

My Data Manager (App to keep a track on bandwidth consumption)- Very limited apps, one that might work is - Call Credits, but never tried it. Only read a review.

Zedge (just an easy to use source for wallpapers and ringtones) - Plenty of these sort of apps and can easily sync other websites too other than Zedge. Ringtones is an app that uses 3 different clients in a single app.

SoundHound - Yes, you won't need it though, music search is inbuilt.

Facebook - Yes inbuilt and there is an app.

Plus side of any windows phone in my opinion is, it's rapidly developing new platform which is a fresh UI, security is top-notch, integration works well, it's never frozen on me, I did not have to restart my phone once in last 7 months of using it, Zune and Xbox integration is amazing if you are a music freak or a gamer, 25GB of Skydrive access from your phone for documents, pics, music streaming - will only get better once you start using it. Integrated Bing maps, local scout, music discovery and search, accessing camera without unlocking the phone, search from lockscreen etc.

"You don't need an app for this or that and it just works!"
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tricurious:
Thanks a lot for the indepth response, it cleared a lot.

When you say that apps can't do pretty much anything, I hope at least apps like IM+ and Whatsapp can retrieve and send messages in the background.

I sometimes edit Word and PPTs on the move.

Not much but basic formatting in word and the ability to edit the layout and slide design is what I need.

Yeah thats the most exciting part of WP7. Its a rapidly developing platform and on top there's gonna be a unification of the mobile and desktop OS. I hope they build a deep seamless integration between the two and they play well with each other.

I couldn't find any info on Slyde app ?

Well, the responses here have cleared a lot for me. I m definitely gonna give it a shot. Now my only gripe is Swype, I'm far too dependent on that. I hope there is something out there in the homebrew community.

Btw, is there a possibility that the current generation phones would get the WP8 update ? Well there are rumors that it wouldn't but then Windows Tango is primarily being released to make sure WP7 can run on lower spec devices.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chicagolive:
It is confirmed all WP models will get Apollo update will pretty much be like with iOS some features will not be available. The next major update is no promise but that is over 2 years so if you have not updated your phone by then not much can be said.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anseio:
My bad. It's called Slydr, not Slyde.

It is NOTHING like Swype. Since it cannot replace the native keyboard, in order to use it you have launch the app, type what you want, put it on the clipboard or choose an option to send it as sms or email.

It does not work from within SMS or email, so replying while using slydr will mean that you have to leave the message, open the app, type what you what, copy it, return to the email using back arrow long press and then paste.

Looking forward to the options that WP8 may make for.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
IM+ and Whatsapp and the like can use Push Notifications to receive messages while the app is not in the the foreground. Technically it's not the app doing the receiving (it's not running); instead the app tells the OS to listen for messages from a specific server, and to mark them as being intended for that app. When the messages arrive, the phone will display a notification and, if the app's tile is pinned to the Start screen, can also show a number of waiting notifications (typically, the number of messages received). When the app is run again (either resumed, or launched anew, or launched directly by tapping on a notification "toast" popup) the app will check with its server for all the messages that arrived while it was "out".

The overall effect is very much like the app continuing to receive messages in the background, except in weird edge cases (for example, if you try to resume the app while there's no data connection available, it won't be able to retrieve the messages that arrived earlier). On the plus side, the push notification system is much easier on the battery than almost any third-party app running in the background would be. It is technically possible to have apps actually run in the background (there are a couple ways, with varying degrees of official support and different limitations) but the battery hit for doing so tends to be pretty harsh (one reason why Android has a reputation for awful battery life).

Still unlocked and stock but phone has become so slow in loading apps and just opening home screen I'm ready to try something. Car dock for me is a must have tho. Does cm9 work? If so any reason not to use it? It works well on my tab 10. On attrix I have always used go or adw and these do not seem to be the source of the problem. I'm off topic now.

Roms with functional car dock?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJPollard:
From my own experience, CM7.2 RC1 works perfectly with the car dock (I use it every day). Sure, it's not any of the "CM9s," but unlike the "CM9s," it actually works well and doesn't require a new bug-fix version to be downloaded and flashed every two hours. :D (I kid, but it's still a lot more stable than the "CM9s.")

I accidently installed cwm on my phone with Rom manager and let it die. Obviously it wouldn't charge up because i was using cwm. So I popped in the extended battery and installed amon ra 3.15 with Scotts cleanflash tool. The dead battery still won't charge. How do I fix it?
[HTC Rezound] randpost:
have you tried turning your phone off then putting in the dead battery. place it on the charger while the phone is still off and try to charge it. enable/disable fast boot may help also.

when testing cwm a few months back I ran into the same issue, but it was solved by switching to amon ra and charging the dead battery once in a standalone charger.

excerpt from another post:

"I had this happen for the first time today. Phone wouldn't start,battery wouldn't charge. My fix.... Open command prompt. Plug phone in to computer. Type " adb reboot recovery" when recovery opens the battery starts charging. Push reboot and Pooooof! A charging phone!"

If it comes down to it, just take the battery into VZ and get a defect replacement.
[HTC Rezound] pmania:
I did something similar to this. Reboot phone to bootloader while plugged in, then swap to the dead battery then rebooted. Then I let it charge to about 40% before I had to take it off. It died a while ago and the charging problem persists.
[HTC Rezound] randpost:
try the recovery method with the battery in question, meaning: don't use the extended. just throw the the phone onto usb with the dead battery and try adb recovery.

hopefully you can save yourself a trip to VZ.

I will tomorrow. I don't have computer access now. I'll keep the extended charged though :D
