Can anyone recommend a good RSS reader for my Vario II? I'm looking for something that can access RSS feeds and render them nicely on the Vario's screen.

If anything worked with Bloglines (I have lots of subscribed feeds on Bloglines) then that would be really ideal.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Lurker0:
Spb Insight though lacks of many features found even in freeware readers (like pRSsReader), but has a unique feature that allows to write a script (template) to download and parse web pages. It is at version 1.01 currently, and I believe it will grow to a better product soon. But after I used it, I don't want to return to "plain" RSS readers.

If you want to try pRSSReader, do NOT install version 1.3.2, try the current 1.3.3 beta instead. 1.3.2 has a serious problem overwriting a system DLL on Hermes devices.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] robt2379:
pRSSReader is great, I didnt have a problem with 1.3.2 but the current beta is the best and very stable

I like Egress.

http://www.garishkernels.net/egress.shtml

Note - "Support for Bloglines and NewsGator synchronized channels - NEW in 2.3"
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] brmcguire:
Newsbreak is IMO the best.

http://www.iliumsoft.com/site/nw/newsbreak.htm
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] SkizZO:
i agree, it also cache web podcasts ;) now v 3.1.0
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ZzFDKzZ:
I try 5-6 different ones back when I had a Cingular 8125. Egress was the best one and I'm still using it now with my Cingular 8525.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] URPREY:
+1

Egress gets my vote also :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Time has come:
I am a Hubdog user and it's good as well as free.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bobbyelliott:
I've installed Egress twice - and had to deinstall it both times because it crashed on my Hermes (Vario II). Does anyone else have this problem with this program? It looks like a nice piece of software.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] URPREY:
Are you running the latest version? It works great on my 8525. I installed the program to main memory, and store my channels in main memory also. If you're trying to use the today plugin while storing the program and/or channels on your storage card, you're going to have issues.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] gravejoker:
Only pRSSReader provides a decent today screen plugin which scrolls the new items as a ticker ..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lmychajluk:
I'm currently running Egress on my Samsung i730 (trying to get my hands on a 8525), and I have the program installed in main memory, but the channels and enclosures I store on my SD card. Works fine, though every once in a while there will be a particular article in a feed that causes it to lock up, but I suspect that's just a badly formatted feed (or one with a huge inline image) rather than being completely the reader's fault. As long as I skip that particular article in the feed, it's fine.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] URPREY:
Egress does this too...
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avrokephren:
Hi, my carrier is Rogers in canada model d852 and they never update software. Inside of the back of my phone it says d850 like the att version and everyone seems to think it's pretty much the same. Is it a way to update manually my software with other carrier software without screwing anything?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] xda rocks:
Which of the missing feature you feel more disappointed?

I truly feel disappointed that there is no Water-Resistance and no USB 3.0 as there is in S5.

What do you feel that it is more essential but missing... Post your comment.:confused:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] chamberc:
Agree with the water resistance.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] chong67:
I thought the speaker is going to be on the side instead of at the back. I Skype and video alot and I dont like to wear headphone when talking. I am so mad!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sohebq:
I don,t care about usb 3 or 2 or even speaker, i badly wanted to have water resistant feature. Really disappointed to see samsung left it. This is probably the first time i am going to skip a series or i might go for edge version.

Sent from Galaxy Note 3 (The beauty & beast)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] xan3x:
When will the Edge be available in US Vwz?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] kersh:
Same here, no water resistance, no upgrade, simple as that.

Samsung dropped here hard with the note 4, it is not a worthy upgrade. They will ask themselves later why they sell less and less every year when they launch almost the same phone and people can buy nexus, oppos or similars with almost same hardware but 50% cheaper.

ois, 4gb of ram, water resistance, 3500mah and I was sold, they did nothing but ois, so no thanks.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] artorelis:
At the end of October.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] akdenizx:
[MENTION=4263937]xan3x[/MENTION] As i know they will launch it 26th of October.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Deleted member 5963088:
I'm still confused why they took off USB 3.0 since the Note 3 and the S5 have it :mad:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sohebq:
Is Spen the reason why no water resistant?

Sent from Galaxy Note 3 (The beauty & beast)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] skills2015:
That's a good question, that might have something to do with it.:confused:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tWoBrO:
Not sure if this is the reason. But in the begining of this year it was aproved a law in EU that every phone had to use an universal charger port, micro USB.

If that has anything to do with it, i don't know. But it might.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] xda rocks:
If its just a opening that bothers it from becoming a Water Resistant, wouldn't be a closure just like Galaxy S5 battery covering solve this problem? :confused:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] kersh:
No. A wacom device can also be water resistant.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] xda rocks:
USB 3.0 does support charging from 2.0 as well. Hence there is no reason for stopping Note 4 from upgrading it to version to 3.0
[Galaxy Note 4 General] markysd:
I hate listening to music with screen face down I cant see my notifications or screen wake up ...speakers on back sucks.. I like my note 3 speakers on side.. anyone else hate rear firing speakers?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sohebq:
Fingerprint scanner also gone?

Sent from Galaxy Note 3 (The beauty & beast)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tWoBrO:
I know.

But i don't know exactly what the law say, so i'm not sure if that's enough.

Anyways, i was just trowing that info out there. I didn't state that was the reason, because, again, i don't know.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Jiyeon90:
No waterproof, single speaker and on the back.. No thin bezels, same boring design, touchwiz still looks ugly!

Yeah I was expecting more but will most likely buy it anyways, if only the Z3 had at least a 5.5 screen ?

[Galaxy Note 4 General] @SidDev:
let's wait and watch.

But I would expect nexus to be better than note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] BlueChris:
Maybe i need to clarify something, i do 150klms daily with my bike to go and come back to work. I own a 1000cc varadero and i have a bar in windshield with a RAM mount that i had alter it with qi charger and in there i put my note3. The reason i have the phone in there constantly is that i record for security the ride.

This is why mainly i wanted the water proofing but i will wait the n5 that i hope it will have it.

send from my N9005 with tapatalk
[Galaxy Note 4 General] NLS:
Start by replacing the Varadero with something better. :P
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ewingr:
In my case, I don't worry about 'benchmarks', but I do worry about RAM. I'm definitely disappointed in 3 vs 4 on the RAM. I have a lot of apps on my phone, and the RAM is always what bites me on performance. With 4, I would expect quite a bit of future preservation on the phone. Android that supports 4GB is just around the corner.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] barondebxl:
So 3gigs of ram aint enough? The note 3 has never had any performance issues. I think 3gigs of ram is plenty but that's just me.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ewingr:
It's enough now. But not in the future. And I got my SGS3 I thought 2 was great.

And android L isn't supporting 4GB if there's no reason.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] SeanPlunk:
Have you heard anything about a Dev. Edition Edge?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] CZ Eddie:
I was really hoping for an IR receiver like HTC has, so I could learn remote controls on the fly.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] patriotaki:
Does the Note 4 have the feature to control tv/aircondtions/projectors etc..?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Techngro:
I am disappointed that the screen is not larger than the Note 3. That's the one thing I wanted. Or for them to release the second version of the Galaxy Mega.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sohebq:
Yes IR blaster is not removed.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] oneandroidnut:
agreed. i dont believe nexus 6 will have 64 bit either. way to early we need a snapdragon 810 i think for 64 bit?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] barondebxl:
Yeah, that one or the 808 i believe.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] oneandroidnut:
yeah i know the 808 is coming but i feel that will be overrated just like the 801 you know?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] barondebxl:
I have to read about those 2 SoCs, i totally forgot the details besides the fact that they are 64 bit SoCs.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] oneandroidnut:
yeah according to snapdragon's website 808 supports 64 bit as well as 810 of course
[Galaxy Note 4 General] NLS:
There are already a couple of mid-range 64bit devices announced (series 6XX CPU).

High-end I expect around March in the market.

Android L doesn't HAVE to use 64bit.

So possibly for S6 and surely for Sony Xperia Z4.

I wouldn't wait for them if N4 was water-proof though. Would be too much of a killer device to pass.

I know this is like blasphemy to some, but I would trade stylus for water-proof.

(and this comes from a Note 1 owner and someone that actually argued about how fantastic having a stylus is, back when capacitive screens started replacing the older technology)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] oneandroidnut:
Temp sensor removed though right?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] joexda75:
Water proof missing!

Hell yeah,

i do miss the IP67 or waterproof stuff in Note 4 and maybe just speaking for myself...

I have a note 3 it did took some water abuse i did not foresee during my holidays this summer. and sadly did not make it.

Actually, it was in my back bermuda pocket when i got showered by continuous water from above very strongly and though it could survive a few minutes before i decided to move away.

Short story short, i had to get my note 3 repaired,i have ordered a waterprooof case but it will add some extrabulk.

So it is a pity the Note 4 is missing this...otherwise QHD could be great in view of the Galaxy Gear VR and OIS for itss rear camera could help for our low light photos and 4K recordings.

USB 3.0 was nice but the microusb 3.0 is a poor standard...i think they could have make usb3.0 speed in the same microusb 2.0 connector

So waiting for the Note 5 with the newer usb 3.1 connector

And even better than the Edge make the screen a little bigger by replacing the hardware buttons by some extra screen.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] 2xbass:
Although I'm thinking of getting one, the battery capacity is a bit of a disappointment. The rapid charge capacity make up for it somewhat but I believe that won't work for wireless charging.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] beka1982:
Of course water resistance.:crying:

But I'm not worry about it anymore check amazon or ebay you will find around $20-$30 beautiful water resistance cases :)

I may switch from Note 3 to Note 4 :p
[Galaxy Note 4 General] patriotaki:
Note 4 has faster wifi and lte than note 3?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] NLS:
No and yes.

WiFi supports the fastest "ac" on both.

LTE is cat.4 (150Mbits) on 3 and cat.6 (300Mbits) for 4. As long as provider supports this speed.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] SaschaHa:
Cat 6 only in S805 modell. The Exynos 5433 variant only supports Cat 4 like Note 3.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] NLS:
True but "only" is not a good word, as the Snapdragon model will be like 95% of the market (Exynos will be in select markets like Korea).
[Galaxy Note 4 General] CLARiiON:
Not really. Exynos is sold in countries where LTE isn't very popular. Many Asian, African and few EU countries get Exynos.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] NLS:
I think new Exynos has LTE enabled.

In any case maybe 95% is off the mark but still the majority will get the Snapdragon.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] radicalisto:
Yeah it has LTE apparently.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mercyisfortheweak:
Im quite impressed actually

I'm impressed on this new specs on Note 4 despite the hate on not adding water resistance but it is actually understandable since Note Series has a Pen. Hardware wise thats a little hard to configure to make it a water resistance phone. The Specs are actually Nice, I just wise they make a make a smooth Bessels and a Saphire Screen and a Metal Edgings.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] NLS:
Why it's hard to make water resistant because of pen?

The edges are metal.

The screen is Gorilla Glass 3. Even iPhone doesn't have Sapphire glass.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] CLARiiON:
Yes, 5430/5433 will be LTE compatible.

I was referring to previous Exynos-based devices. Though there are exynos-based LTE devices also in past like GN2, but most of them didn't have any LTE modem.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] opethianskies:
Well it is not as innovative as it seems to be, nothing much different from Note 3.... And I'm still using my beloved note 2 with note 3 features (Thanks to Ditto Rom) So why I should bother myself... I'm gonna wait for Note V, I assume it will be the best ever.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] NLS:
Yeah, and Note 6 even better. And Note 20 to rule them all.

We either wait forever or jump in at one point and get whatever is best at the time.

As for N4 "nothing much different from N3"... Sorry I don't see what you see (you are not the first to say it also).

Sorry I read this only as an excuse to "keep what I have". If you want your N2 (and me my N1) you don't need excuses, it is your decision. As simple as that.

Most things bumped up at least a bit in N4 from N3 (and N3 from N2). What did you expect?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] opethianskies:
Why do you feel as if I sworn your mother dude... It was a personal opinion that was the point that's the reason the forums exist... Yes according to me there's no innovations compared to the time I watched live Note 3 presentation... There were Air Command and I said that time wow... Then I searched the ways and some dude here made it to work in Note II... And I was here... began to use custom roms first time... and helped a bit to build up gave the users info about... Note 3 was the reason all of the existence of me in this forum... That was innovative but not Note IV
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tft:
decided to pass up on this device.. mostly due to it not being water resistance. once you've had a device that was, you'll most likely not want another one that isn't. to me it doesn't make sense why the S5 is and so is the old S4 (sport) yet they decided not to on the note for whatever reason. the last straw for me was the lousy speakers/sound samsung refuses to improve.. a nearly 6 inch device with 1 tiny tin-can rear speaker just isn't cutting it for me anymore. samsung needs to stop adding sensors and start improving on areas that actually make more sense to improve.. i'm due for an upgrade in a month so looks like i'll be going with the Xperia Z3. it has a slightly smaller display, but has everything that is more important to me in a phone than many redundant sensors that i never use.. like seriously how many people use air view/gestures and any of the other eye sensors? even things like the finger print scanner is half-a** because you have to do some magical swipe rather that just touching the screen (something obviously apple did better) yet samsung has made no effort to improve this, i don't even bother using it anymore because while it had a nice cool factor, it's just poorly implemented and often time i found myself having to try multiple times just to unlock the device.. overall i think the note 4 is a nice device, it's just samsung has their priorities backwards and they think putting all these fancy sensors and the fastest CPU is what going to sell phones. they haven't figured out how to add something and keep refining it rather than forgetting it's there.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
I have never had water damage in 20+ years of cell phone useage, so I dont care about that, but you did hit on one thing I am concerned about.

Not sure why a phone like this will have a tin car, lousy rear speaker on it..

I have been spoiled by the fantastic sound on my htc m8, so I dont know how the N4 sound is going to be.

Anyone familiar with the sound on the Z2 or the Z3? I know sony has 2 speakers on their phones now, but not sure if thats made a big difference
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Jiyeon90:
I have the Z2 and the stereo speakers are a pleasure, it's not as loud as the m8 but it's miles better than mono speakers.

The Z3 however is said to be on the same level as the m8, in terms of loudness and sound quality.

Sent from my Xperia Z2
[Galaxy Note 4 General] NLS:
I do not defend N4. I probably won't buy it (because it's not water resistant and because we are too close to moving to 64 bit CPU).

But what you say it is not personal opinion. You IGNORE numbers. It's not subjective to compare the hardware.

You seem to compare software features. N4 still runs Android with TouchWiz, like N3, like N2, like Note. Hardware has dramatically changed though, how can you say "nothing much changed"? It is plain wrong. It's not a matter of opinion.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
thats good to hear!

so, I guess the Z3 has to be considered right along with a note4

I never used my Spen much, so that doesn't hold alot of interest with me, although it looks like the software on the Note 4 really used the Spen alot more than ever..

plus, I wonder if the note4 screen will be alot nicer than the Z3..and, will the 805 chip blow away the 801 on the Sony..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] RCJ89:
I think the heart rate monitor should be done away with an replaced by a dual camera flash (true tone).

Would prefer for the speaker to be on the bottom ala note 3.

Water-proof/resistance doesnt matter to me.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ipmanwck:
Wanted more from the rear camera. Better f. Wider angle and more improved optics. Although the S5 has a good camera low light is still poor like all Sammy phones. My Z2 has an outstanding camera and massive lens / sensor so am able to get fast moving shots and decent low light ones (when it doesn't overheat) was planning on getting N4 but will have to have a test first. Looks like they put all their efforts into front camera this time (apart from ois) I got news for you Sammy not everyone is selfie obsessed.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] aulwes:
Since samsung is big on security I have to assume that swiping is more secure than just touching the screen. (Swiping captures a better view of you finger print)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] fatboypup:
IP67
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tft:
no, i highly doubt that has anything to do with it, and it's probably quite the opposite. i think the reason why samsung finger print is garbage is likely due to some patent apple has on touch ID.. samsung was probably scared of more lawsuits so the only option was to swipe rather than press for finger print to get around the patent. i don't really see any other explanation.. it's much harder to read/identify a moving object which explains why there are times i have to swipe multiple times to get it to read.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
Nice spreadsheet :good:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] CLARiiON:
Nice work. A few things like Note 4 uses 2X2 MIMO for WiFi. Apple have 64-bit SOC, which is good. Though those using Exynos will also have a 64-bit SOC. A8 and Exynos are on 20nm, rest on 28nm.

We don't have detailed specs for Note 4 yet.

Z3 here: http://dl-developer.sonymobile.com/...ria_Z3_D6603_D6633_D6643_D6653_D6616_WP_1.pdf

iPhone 6: http://www.apple.com/iphone-6/specs/
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Dat Noob:
There's an error there with the pressure sensitivity. The Note 4 has a level of 2048, not 1024, which is the level the Note 3 had.

Also it's important to note that the Z3 and Note 4, have USB v2 MHL3. The Note 3 had v3 MHL2. I don't know what MHL the iPhone has, but I doubt it's MHL3.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pete4k:
Waterproof is the main missing thing for me, also USB3 (fixed with autodetect), not only faster data transfer, but also faster charging from computer port, USB3 is rated at 900mA, where USB 2 rated for 450mA, without USB3 connector Note4 probably will not know it's connected to USB 3 computer port and probably will limit charging current to 450mA.

I was ready to order Note4 on the release date, but without those 2 I don't think so. At least I like my Note3, so shouldn't be so bad.

I don't understand why everybody wants metal frame, it kills the signal. I think even Iphone 6 now has small plastic part where antennas are.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
Its got that special "fast charging" feature built in, so they must have done something internally to allow usb 2.0 to pass more current, or at a faster rate..

As far as a metal frame killing signal, I haven't noticed that on my htc M8, but I will say the signal is not as strong as my LG Flex(all plastic) was. so you may have something there.

Only reason to upgrade my note 3 was for ram so I won't be buying
[Galaxy Note 4 General] EP2008:
Can you expand on that? I'm I big multitasker with my note 2 and hope that an extra 1gb of ram will be enough. What apps used up 3gb of ram on the note 3?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] d12unk13astard:
touchwiz ui alone gobbles up most of the ram, apps not too much.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] EP2008:
Nova Launcher FTW!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] wing_addict_usa:
Actually that's one of my annoyances, nova keeps reloading.

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 PM ----------

I'm using my laptop less and less. I'm doing a lot of work on my note 3, rdp, vpn, ssh, virtual machines, etc. After a bit every application keeps reloading. I definitely need more ram.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] EP2008:
For the first problem, go into your Nova settings -> advanced -> enable "aggressive desktop".

I was doing all my work from my Note 2 due to illness for many months and ram was mostly "enough". I think an extra 1gb would do me a lot of good. If you've used Xposed, you can find modules that will force apps to stay in RAM, so your "must have" apps can be always loaded there while other, lower-priority stuff gets auto-killed. Depending on your remote desktop app, you should be able to tell it to keep the connection alive for a certain amount of time before it disconnects - set that up to whatever you need.

I find that Chrome, especially with many tabs, takes up the most memory. On my desktop, I use no less than 20 tabs at a time, in two separate monitors using two different profiles (my person profile and one I use for blogging). I'd expect to take that kind of use to the Note 4. We'll see :o
[Galaxy Note 4 General] wing_addict_usa:
Honestly you should get the note 3 for like half price. The note 4 only has a better processor and the one in my note 3 never hit max, ever. So all I personally needed was ram and it's the same as the note 3.
