yes, for a profile manager it would be a little bit much. but this application can do much more, just read the press release ;)

and you will get all updates for free...

but maybe i will lower the price until the release, depends on the feedback i get now.
[General Topics] Slartibartfass:
I absolutely agree, it's more than a simple profile manager, but there remains the fact that if you do not really need all the advanced options on a regular basis, it's too expensive.

For me a range between 2,50 EUR and 5 EUR (regarding upcoming updates) would be O.K. That's an amount of money that is easily spent, even without consideration.
[General Topics] Slartibartfass:
I think you should consider that in most cases manual selection of the phone profile is more useful than an automatic setting. Especially if it is based on a not really exact position sensing.

At the moment, your tool afaik lacks manual override and a convenient manual change of the settings. How about adding an CP on/off-Button and a few profiles selectable via tray-icon?
[General Topics] k_kirk:
I agree with Slartibartfass. I think I would continue to use Pocket Zen Phone even if I had the 'Cell Profiler' on my XDAII. Given how much time is invested into Pocket Zen Phone its too hard for 'Cell Profiler' to catch it on the profile management arena anyways.

It was interesting to note that dutty seems to be doing the same. I am sure I spotted the 4 buttoned interfance of jgui's Phone Seriously on dutty's Today screen.
[General Topics] dutty:
exactly. you can use both applications and they will not conflict with each other!

i'll add an CP on/off button which you can use to enable or disable CP usage no problem - that's why the release is delayed to the 5th.

keep in mind that you do not have to use CP for volume changes you can also send SMS to your girlfriend on your way home, you can play music when your train arrives in it's destination time.. maybe Cell "PROFILER" was the wrong name, everybody thinks of volume profiles and only volume profiles when they hear the word "PROFILE"

EDIT: btw, and I do think that 5$ is far to low for such an application. a lot of time has been spent on it and i'm a student with no money..
[General Topics] Slartibartfass:
Nice try. But I don't think that there are many users outside who really need those features. Of course there are lots of people who might like to try that - but are those really willing to spend 20 to 25 bucks ??

I think that would be an appropriate price. A price I would be willing to pay for a software that is more some sort of proof of concept than a sofware I would really use on daily basis.
[General Topics] Slartibartfass:
Let me illustrate my point of view:

It's O.K. for me to pay 9$ for vBirthday 3.2, because I like the option to have birthdays shown on the tody screen without having appointments in my calendar. But I wouldn't pay 25$, I would rather ignore birthdays or have a few appointments in my agenda.

Maybe my threshold of pain is slightly lower than that of others (must be like that, there seem to be many people buying ringtones and logos for 3€ each).

If the trial-release is crippleware like the demo I think most people will install - have a short look, uninstall and forget your software seeing the price tag.

But if it only costs a few bucks, maybe they invest the amount and try the real thing, no matter if they really use the application later or not. I think it is easier convincing 20 peple paying 5$ than 5 people paying 20$.

If you really want to make money with that product, you should try to develop a complete application, for example some sort of "kid's mobile" which automatically phones mummy when Bob is leaving the homezone...
[General Topics] dutty:
well, okay. i asked most people and they said 20? would be a good price, i asked people i don't know in person they only knew waht the programm will be able to do.

please don't mix up things. the thing you call demo was a proof of concept beta release.
[General Topics] tde:
considering that birthday is an out-of-the-box feature and that you're ready to spend 9$ on a software that does nothing but what already exist, I don't really see what's the issue with paying a litlle extra for a soft that can do *really* much than what exists in standard.

unless you consider of course that you can do the same by a simple configuration of your device.

I'm not skilled enough on the PPC development to estimate the exact development effort for this tool, but it should be in the range of a zillion more than for a birthday software.

my 2 cents
[General Topics] Slartibartfass:
please don't mix up things. the thing you call demo was a proof of concept beta release.[/quote]

It said "DEMO" on my screen. :D

And it only allowed editing only one cell, setting the volume on all other cells to 100%, which isn't really useable even as a trial, especially if your phone continues to switch between two cells at your house.

Btw. - pretty heavy restrictions for a "proof of concept beta release"??
[General Topics] Slartibartfass:
[Offtopic] For me knowing birthdays without having them in my PPC and Lotus-Notes-Agenda ist something really useful, which can't be done with the standard-application. I also use Pocket Informant, because the calender is a bit better than the integratedone (month-view with mini-text).

The main difference to Phone Profiler is, that for me the tools mentioned above really simplify the everyday-handling while PP is nice to have, but more the kind of goodie like a nice ringtone.

So what? Nobody forced "dutty" to develop this tool and not a calender-plugin.
[General Topics] dutty:
well it was a beta demo.. yes maybe it said demo because it is build using the same compiler defines as the demo (if youknow little about coding)

i just wanted to show the world that it is possible to do what minigps is doing for symbianos because everybody said it was impossible.

btw, people are paying 25$ for minigps and it's ok. and cell profiler can do much more,and a today plugin like zenphone or jgui phone seriously is planned. i think that 20$ is ok.

oh and, i all my co-workers and friend who use cell profiler think it's one of the best applications and they say that's how phone edition should be. so it's an everyday application, plus i use it to wake me up in the train or tell me friends when i'm arriving at mcdonalds or the cinema.

ofcourse if you don't want to pay 20$ you don't have to
[General Topics] wiredup:
debate about value...

Just my .02 worth...

There's a debate about whether the application is worth $20-25.

In basic terms, value is based on the perception of the individuals who use it. While it may be worth $25 to one person, it may only be worth $5 to another.

Dutty has to identify a price that will target both individuals. Too high, few will purchase it, too low and he will make little money off of it.

And, if a competitor designs an application with the same features and just as reliable, well competition will deal with the pricing.

As such, let competition roar on.

Offtopic, but how many kids do you know are leaving the homezone with an PPC Phone Edition device? ;)

zendrui vs jgui... I rest my case. Not saying dutty should go donationware but ultimately market makes or breaks products not the developers contrary to popular belief.

Lets leave dutty be for now so he meets his 5th May commitment and avoids joining the ever increasing list of pocket pc vaporware hall of fame.

PS. Pre-announcing products and starting a price debate really takes guts. Apple barely survives each time (ref ipod min debacle etc...). Well done dutty but do please show us you can deliver too.

Cheers
[General Topics] dutty:

Excellant program, go ahead and keep updating your nice software... It is the first of its kind for PPC and it is very important for some tracking companies to have one like this... Good luck...
[General Topics] Arkobad:
Navigation using cells

There is a group of enthusiasts maintaining a list of GSM cells (BTS) in our country.

The list also contains coordinates of each cell (resolved by GPS).

So could you modify your applicaton to calculate the position from few closest cells?

Because if you know your distance (calculated from time advance - signal delay) from closest cells (at least 3) and if you also know coordinates of those cells, you can calculate your position.

Each GSM phone knows the closest (active) cell, and the distance from it. It also monitors few (usually 6) other cells and distance from them - because of handover.

The best solution would be to write a "GPS" driver - driver which will retrieve the list of closest cells (and distances) from radiostack and also the database of cells (silmle XLS with cellID and coords). This driver will calculate the position and will be compatible with other GPS drivers - so it would be able to communicate with all map applications (but with not that good precision).

There is also a service called "T-Mobile Locator" which does it all - but it costs money and is not compatible with PocketPC. You can obtain your coordinates (or coordinates of other phone - if you know its LocationPIN). And if you have installed the map software (provided by TMO), you can see phone's position on the map. But only on desktop PC.

Hey All,

I was trying to use NFC on my Samsung Galaxy S3 with Cyanogenmod nightly 4-22-2013. I have been looking all over the settings of the phone, and from what I can see there aren't any options for it. Does anyone know if this is a bug or if Cyanogenmod just doesn't come with NFC?

--Ubuntuuser

Settings right under WiFi and Bluetooth there is "more" try that.

Thanks for the idea though!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Seen this before wipe system and reinstall rom and gapps, I think that was the fix.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Ubuntuuser1400:
Will try

I will try then as soon as I can. Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] danielrod:
Did you take the stock battery out? Because I think that has the NFC built into it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
The option should still show, removing the battery doesn't remove things from the rom, just the functionality of it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
I never use NFC and I have the stock battery. But he poses an interesting theory. It is programmatically trivial to hide a feature that cannot be used. It's not removed, but hidden.

Do you know said theory to be incorrect from personal experience?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] danielrod:
You know what you're right, just confirmed it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Ya I use a couple anchor batteries stock size but not NFC capable, it still shows the option nothing happens with NFC though. Always forget I have the other batteries when people tell me to sync with them lol.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DsturbD:
just flashed 4/22 nightly and the NFC option is there.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Ubuntuuser1400:
fixed!

Hey all,

I do have the stock battery. I was going to reflash my phone, but then decided that I would try the newest nightly. The newest nightly put NFC back. I am curious what caused it to disappear on the 4/22 for my phone. Probably a bad install.

Now to find the Bugs in 4/25 ;)

Thank you everyone for the support.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] phatfire6:
I had no idea the battery was crucial to the NFC part of the phone. If my battery no longer functions, my only option to keep NFC is the Samsung battery? I ask because the aftermarket ones are much cheaper than the original equipment.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
Either stock or any battery that has NFC capabilities. It would normally tell you on it's original packaging.

Is there some kind of magnetic closure? So that when i hold the phone upside down, the front part doesn't open?
[One (M7) Accessories] coastalmikey:
Nope, it just flops open... Try a rubber band... :)
[One (M7) Accessories] h.oosterhuis@casema.nl:
Got the FlipBook today and it is a very nice sleek case. The cover is heavy so it closes very nicely. It lookes luxury. It fits mutch better than the original HTC flipstand cover I have. The original I like to both it's a bit to loose in my opinion.

Got the clear Poetic case to that one fits so tight that it hard to get it of again. It's very nice.

Came with a letter from Poetic that all costumers how both one will get a free update in may because the remote control does not work with the case because of block by white button.
[One (M7) Accessories] dinamael:
I've had it for about a week. Very nice fit and finish. Very slim. As one poster mentioned, there's no mechanism to keep the flap closed (no magnet or snap). There's a fair chance it'll flap open if dropped and not provide much protection. However, I got this case primarily to protect the glass face in my pocket etc. and it's definitely less slippery than the naked phone.

:good:

I have the same one on my n10,however this doesn't. There's an application called smart cover which works quite well.
[One (M7) Accessories] exavion:
I've been using the Poetic FlipBook case for about 2 weeks now. It's great -- the cover is heavy enough that it stays shut except when upside down, and is nice because I can 'swing' it open with one hand with a little force.

I usually take my phone out of it at night or at work (I have a dock for work) - it pops right out if you peel back 2 corners, but holds it very sturdy otherwise. I've dropped the phone once, and it protected the corner that hit the table - better yet, it didn't leave a single mark.

The cover and back feel nice to the touch, and it's nice not worrying about using a screen protector or anything when it's in my pocket. Adds very little weight to the phone.

I like my phone naked, but if I'm out and about, that's not exactly 'smart' so this case keeps the phone classy, gorgeous, and has a practical application. Just make sure not to get sand or something on the inner front cover!
[One (M7) Accessories] regP:
Do you guys find the cover lays flat when shut even after being folded backwards during phone use? I have a Nilkin flip case on my Nexus and after fold it backwards it wont lay flat when closed anymore. I just ordered the flipbook for the m7 and am going to be really bummed if it suffers from the same problem.
[One (M7) Accessories] Bryan05:
I've had mine for about 3 weeks and I always fold it back and still lays very flat. It's a nice well made case and seems like the more I fold it back the flatter it lays.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Shibby87:
I have to say, after 8 years with VZW, I'm finally throwing in the towel and moving onto another network who actually respects their customers. With the lack of updates and feature support to their tiered data plans, it just doesn't seem logical from a consumers perspective to stay with a company that's hell bent on invading your privacy while offering little to nothing in return. If you're in the same boat, what network are you planning on joining and why?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cell128:
I really wanted to go to t-mobile so I can cut my bill in half with them but they don't have lte where I live yet and their 4g does not penetrate my work area. I just preordered my gs4 with verizon and its the last phone I will have with them unless they give us our early upgrades back and also let us upgrade from our unlimited data lines. For now I am very satisfied with their service but my days with them are definetly numbered
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Tunameltsalad:
I've only had Verizon now for about 9 months, and I've been regretting getting it since about 3 months in when I realized that you can pretty much only use these phones on Verizon (I've seen threads where they use them on other carriers, but it looks really complicated). Not to mention I pay roughly $55/ month just for data alone, which is just 1 GB. I dont even want to get started on how stupid that tiered data is--I know it makes them money, but I also know it doesnt cost them nearly as much as what they charge for it. I will most likely cancel my contract as soon as I get some cash to get out of it. As far as 4G is concerned, its nice to have and all, but it seems to just blow through my whole 1 GB of data in no time flat. Not to mention I use maybe 50 minutes of talking/ month, and about the same text messages. I only got Verizon so I could have a fancy phone, and I got that, and now I'm seriously paying for it. If I could get this bastard to work on Straight Talk I would be set, but I'm pretty sure the easiest way is to buy a TMo or ATT variant (you know, unless someone has a tip they would like to share ;) )

TL;DR

**** Verizon, and I'm totally jumping ship ASAP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mcapozzi:
Would like to change, but stuck with Verizon in Upstate NY. AT&T is EDGE speeds at best outside the cities. Most houses act like Faraday cages and since I am on call I need voice and data to work almost all the time. AT&T would constantly drop calls. Sprint isn't bad for voice, but high speed data is lacking in most of the boonies. T-mobile is like AT&T (but worse).

So yeah, I'm rocking a $230/mo family plan for 4 smartphones, a dumbphone, and a measly 4GB of data a month (that is with a 21% corp discount).

Woohoo!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] podspi:
There are lots of reasons to hate VZW, but there is one reason to love them: Network coverage. A few months ago I was in ruralish Virginia, and I had 4gLTE. Those towers don't pay for themselves...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xs11e:
Verizon = bad, others = WORSE!

I rate 'em like this, on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the best:

VZW = -2

T-Mo = -1.5 (slightly better CS but poor coverage)

AT&T = -6,593,865,432

Sprint = Will they be in business tomorrow?

NOTE, all carriers suck, nobody even rates a zero and I'm in a really good mood so I rated AT&T's "We don't care" CS and "Oops, we dropped your call" network much higher than they really deserve.

I'm sticking with VZW.

I pay 55$ a month. 2gb internet, unlimited calls to cellphones , 500 landline minutes (unlimited on weekends and weekday nights I think) unlimited texting, 4g is good here in Houston. I've been thinking when my contract is up, T-Mobile. Maybe back to cricket even. I just don't know anymore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mawells787:
I have really been contemplating switching to T-Mobile. I'm in NYC and LTE in Manhattan during the middle of the day is no better than att/tmobile hspa. I rarely get over 10mbps with my galaxy s3. But the overall coverage is great and I really don't want to give that up. I hope that with metro pcs T-Mobile can expand their service.

Same here. I've been with Verizon for probably ten years and although their custom firmware settings on phones and fairly high prices grinds on me a bit where I live they're still the best game in town. Just renewed with them for two more years when I got this pair of i535s from Best Buy.
