Very Cool, I like the ideas already coming in!

If your app takes off, google should buy it and integrate it into navigation or google now!

I can see the google assistant saying "speeding will save you X amount of time, but you will spend X$ more than usual on your commute" haha!
[Android Apps and Games] Blodhrgam:
I've got a problem I don't know how to solve. I created HERE Maps dev account to get more acurate speed limits but I don't know how to eneter app id and so on. I typed it in but it has not been saved, there is no login button whatsoever. How do I do that? (Great idea for the app by the way)
[Android Apps and Games] weehooherod2:
If you're on Android 6.0+ the data is auto encrypted and backed up to your Google Drive account.
[Android Apps and Games] weehooherod2:
Fantastic idea. Anything automatic is better.

Open the settings of the app. Put the appid and apptoken in there. Then, to make sure your account is activated click the "HERE MAPS" button at the top of the screen so switch from OpenStreetMap to HERE. Now on the main screen you should see the HERE logo like in this screenshot.

[Android Apps and Games] Blodhrgam:
I came up with that myself to be honest :) but when I go to the settings page again the App ID is not showing, so I assumed it's not working. So, if the HERE symbol is on the front page, then everything is set up correctly?
[Android Apps and Games] wilsonic:
Integrate with Driving Mode?

This is a cool idea! Will be trying it out this weekend for sure.

I was just wondering if it was possible to auto recognise when driving mode is enabled/disable and therefore start and stop recording?
[Android Apps and Games] weehooherod2:
If the main screen shows the HERE logo and you aren't seeing any pop up errors while running the app then you are indeed using HERE (and should see more accurate speed limits).
[Android Apps and Games] samisax:
Fuel consumption is more a function of your RPM, not your speed. In order to give an estimate with some relevance, you'd have to tie into the car's OBD-II port.
[Android Apps and Games] Alcolawl:
As an angry New York commuter, I shall give this app a shot. One does not only do 65 MPH on their morning commute.
[Android Apps and Games] weehooherod2:
Are you talking specifically about Android Auto? Regardless, I do want to put in something to detect when the user has stopped driving. I often forget to turn Speedr off when I get out of the car so it remains running in my pocket.
[Android Apps and Games] wilsonic:
Yes android auto is the app I use but I'm suggesting a broader recognition system to include all apps that enable and disable "Car Mode". Maybe via Bluetooth connections? Regardless it sounds like you're already thinking about it so that's good to hear. Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] weehooherod2:
Good call out on various car modes. I see now that a few OEMs include their own car modes. I've been using Nexus devices for so long I had no idea.
[Android Apps and Games] opticyclic:
How does it do the calculations?

Does it just use a simple speed/time calculation or does it take into account stops as well?

e.g.

If I travel for 1 mile at 40 mph it will take me 90 seconds.

At 30 mph it will take me 120 seconds.

If at that mile marker I am stopped at a traffic light for a period of time that overlaps the 2 time periods above I can potentially have gained 0 seconds by speeding.
[Android Apps and Games] weehooherod2:
Speedr takes into account the moments when you choose to drive over the speed limit. If you drive over the speed limit for a while and then are forced to slow down because of traffic the 'time saved' number is not lowered when you slow down. Red lights can be tricky since many stretches of roads have timed lights that only work if you're going the speed limit. This is not taken into account. If you speed between red lights you will increase the 'time saved' number since you're going over the speed limit. In a timed light scenario the moments you spend stopped at the next red light would effectively negate the time saved, though the app would not show that.

Here is the relevant code snippet that calculates the time saved from StatsCalculator.java

double currentDiff = ((location.getTime() - prevLocation.getTime())
* (location.getSpeed() - speedLimit)) / speedLimit;

if (currentDiff > 0) timeSaved += currentDiff;
[Android Apps and Games] shadowhacker27:
Does your app use OBD2?
[Android Apps and Games] weehooherod2:
It currently relies GPS on location and speed readings. I've had a number of users on xda suggest integration with OBD for gas consumption info so I'll certainly be looking into it.
[Android Apps and Games] Random Username:
This is a killer app. Literally.
[Android Apps and Games] bel57:
As others say, killer app. Every driver need it to realize driving carefully is more important than speeding for a few seconds/minutes. Hope it can save lives :good:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] FlowingAway:
Got the Nougat update this morning like everyone else.

Immediately I notice a problem. Not a big problem in itself, but over and over this becomes pretty annoying.

Here is a hangout message notification:

Notice anything? The reply button is missing.

It only appears when the notification is expanded, as seen below.

Ok no big deal. But this means you have to expand your hangouts, messenger, and who knows what other messaging apps to get the reply button to be displayed. Every single time.

One of the big selling points of Nougat was being able to reply directly from notifications quickly. While this is still possible to do with this update, it will require expanding the notification every time. My wife's Nexus 6P has nougat installed and the reply button is immediately visible, no expanding notification necessary.

Is there a setting buried deep down somewhere that changes this back to how it should be? Even on Marshmallow the reply button was visible immediately, though not implemented as gracefully as Nougat, the button was still there without having to expand anything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] carlosfig:
Lol the world is going to end without a simple reply button! We are all doomed! ???
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] FlowingAway:
I realize it's pretty trivial, but this is not the behavior of stock Nougat. Samsung decided to give us an extra step for no real reason.

Thanks for your input carlosfig.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] radink:
Is it there on stock android, and could it be just an issue with hangouts?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] FlowingAway:
Unfortunately it looks like Samsung just decided to implement it this way. It happens with all messaging apps I've used thus far. My wife's 6P has the reply button instantly available, no expanding needed.

I'm finding it difficult to organize grouped icons in the app drawer. If you already have 9 icons and you hit edit and try to bring one to another page it just won't drop.

For example http://i.imgur.com/WbpjOIv.jpg

I'm holding onto the play games icon soon as I let go to drop it goes back to the first page in the group. Yeah you can remove it and add it again but it'll be difficult to organize them to preference order.

Also did they take away the option in settings for your default launcher? I guess you can get to it by opening the launcher itself but I'm curious if it's just me or was it moved?
[Touch Cruise General] ianl8888:
A news report I read today (Thurs Jan 03, 2008) stated that a US Federal Court judge has ruled that Qualcomm must cease immediately selling 3rd generation WCDMA cellular chips that infringe on patents held by Broadcom.

The news report did NOT list which exact chips these are.

So, obvious question: does the P3650 Polaris CPU fall into the "banned for Qualcomm" category ?

Does anyone have reliable, accurate knowledge of which chips are actually affected by this ?
[Touch Cruise General] hqqh:
Hi,

I found this article:

http://www.eetimes.com/news/latest/...d=HVYWDP3Q0PICWQSNDLSCKHA?articleID=205206967

It contains the following statement:

"Shipments of chipsets for devices intended for international markets were not affected by the ruling."

Regards,

hqqh
[Touch Cruise General] ianl8888:
Yes, thank you for that. I'd found 2 other similar reports.

"Shipments of chipsets for devices intended for international markets were not affected by the ruling."

This is a comment from Qualcomm - perhaps Broadcom doesn't believe it !?

The situation seems critical enough. It's very hard to believe any of the reports tell all of the truth.
[Touch Cruise General] hinz:
Read this http://www.broadcom.com/docs/press/12-31-07_Permanent_Injunction_Order.pdf

in brief the MSM7200 chipset (in the polaris) has been banned in the ruling, but as far as I know it only affects devices sold in the US
[Touch Cruise General] bluebee:
Oh my God. I got TC only this new year and i am in US. What does that mean if it is banned.... Can any one tell me what should we do if this ban news is correct..
[Touch Cruise General] RaptorRVL:
I don't think there will be big problems. Also considering the amount of phones the chipset is in already. Most likely Qualcomm will be using the same chipset with some modifications to avoid legal problems. Or they make a deal and pay some (a lot) of money to continue using the current chipset.

If they are wise they keep most of the stuff the same (it would cost a lot of money to design a completely new chipset). And as I've read it now, the legal problems with the chipset don't include the parts where we have problems with (video driver). Only time will tell... But so far I'm not that worried.

By the way, the ruling als states (as far as I've read) that they can keep on selling the chips to their current partners where they already have a deal with. So there won't be an early end to the HTC phones with this chipset.
[Touch Cruise General] Rudegar:
a ruling in us only goes in us companys have to sue in every country to enforce patents

so one can just buy a qualcomm based phone from another country then usa have it ship'd that they cant sell them in usa dont mean feds will be comming round collecting know qualcomm owning offenders ;)
[Touch Cruise General] RaptorRVL:
But in what country is the HQ of Qualcomm? A quick look at wikipedia shows that's in the US. (or ofcourse I'm looking at another company, who knows :D )

That could make it difficult with this ruling. However they would be stupid not to find a solution because it will be difficult for them if they can't continue. They've tried legal action so far and that hasn't payed off. But I can imagine there are still other options they can explore and probably will explore as well.
[Touch Cruise General] SoberGuy:
Nope, that's them. If you're ever in the area (lol), I'll cruise you by and show you their little complex of buildings.
[Touch Cruise General] ianl8888:
Thank you for the link to the actual ruling.

Yes, I agree that the ruling is quite clear - the MSM7200 chip (in the Polaris) is subject to patent restriction, but limited to the US. (That is a puzzle in itself). Unless Qualcomm pays Broadcom the prescribed royalties for US-sold products, the Polaris as it is currently fabricated is dead-in-the water in the US.

This is not to say that Qualcomm won't appeal the ruling. My hard experience over many years is that when lawyers and judges become involved, they are the only end-winners.

Qualcomm also maintain that they have pin-to-pin equivalents that do not infringe, but the Polaris as currently manufactured does not use these alternatives.
[Touch Cruise General] ianl8888:
Now I also wonder at a question I have asked in another thread - UK retailers that are currently claiming stock or "real soon now" stock (eg. Expansys UK) have also recently edited the spec list to quote ONLY 2100Mhz for UMTS in Europe.

The US and other countries (including Aus) use 850Mhz outside the cities. So if we accept that newly-arriving retail stock is limited to 2100Mhz (ie. single, not tri-band) then the UTMS capability is very limited.

And then I lose interest in the thing.
[Touch Cruise General] butzchan:
The HTC website still says HSDPA/UMTS: 2100 MHz (Europe), 850/1900 MHz (USA).

Wonder if this will change...it did for the S730 (has the same chipset as the Polaris).
[Touch Cruise General] ianl8888:
Thank you for your comment. That is exactly what I have been asking of current owners for 3-4 days now (up till now, no answer).

BUT I will not lay out $$$ until I am absolutely assured that the device as now retailed now is tri-band.

There still remains the distinct possibility that retail stock before and after this court ruling are differently configured.
[Touch Cruise General] kevinrirvine:
@ianl8888,

I think truthfully your making a mine out of a molehill. Htc or no oem can change the spec's after a device is released and this whole quaLcomm situation is stll filled with uncertainty and it will take possibly yrs for the courts and lawyer's to resolve. I bought mine just 3 dys ago at www.onthegosolutions.com and they are very reputABLE and I have done bsuiness with them for yrs and you will get the Polaris triband and all I assure you. No one in the country USA has stock now yet they do and it will ship the same day however you like. As for expansys UK, NEVER, REPEAT NEVER GO BY ANYHING THEY SAY OR DO FOR I HAVE DEALT WITH THEM BEFORE AND IT WAS A NIGHTMARE.
[Touch Cruise General] Abbsta:
Really? in what way? I have it on back order with them.

Side questions: Am I allowed to use my credit card for multiple back orders? I might have to place another back order with a different retailer if they are really that bad.
[Touch Cruise General] kevinrirvine:
They really are that bad and it is a long and complicated story. Deal with Clove Tech and Tell them Kevin Irvine sent you and they will take very good care of your order and keep you up to date about stock pricing etc. A very honest company. Simply put, I sent several e-mails to them to cancel my order for the toshiba g900 when it was first released and they never had the courtesy of a reply back and then out of the blue stock came in and they shipped to me, charged my card illegally and to top it all off did not declare the device properly for US Customs so it was held for days until I not they had to solve the problem. Then when I finally received it I refused delivery and expansys never returned any of fed ex's calls to return the item to them and you probably get the point by now.

Yes, to your first question but be careful here for if the companies your placing your backorder's with get stock on the same day for example your in trouble. Kevin
[Touch Cruise General] Abbsta:
Sorry to hear about that and I better cancel it then. Cheers for the advice Kevin.
[Touch Cruise General] ianl8888:
Again, thank you for your comment. I had no doubt that earlier retail supply was tri-band; I have much doubt about later supply - the Court order states "IMMEDIATE STOP ..." and turning off available UMTS frequencies is a fairly simple ROM change. That's not a molehill. Perhaps the ROM cookers here can bypass that !

The only bright spot here is the limitation to US-only sales. Purchasing a fully specced device from elsewhere bypasses that, with the downside of Warranty service also being elsewhere.

I agree with you on marketing - marketers are to be trusted even less than lawyers, if that were possible. UK retailers other than Expansys have also changed the spec list in the last 3-4 days.

Supply is still in the "real soon now" category for most of the world. So we only have to wait for "real soon now".

Lastly, I'm not panicking in the slightest. If the thing really is crippled by Qualcomm's Court-decided patent infringements, that's simply too bad. Another "thing" will turn up eventually, without the rain clouds, in response to demonstrated world-wide demand. But the impact of this Court decision will be felt - we can't yet predict how.
[Touch Cruise General] bluebee:
how to check UMTS

Hello Everyone, I am using HTC touch cruise for the last one week and it is such a cool device. got from On the go solutions. But after lots of confusions in the thread, is it any way to check what frequency of UMTS that my phone supports. I m with T-Mobile and there is no 3G. Is there any where can i check.. Please...
[Touch Cruise General] skara:
Mates, think waht you're discussing 'bout!

Qualcomm is forbidden to sell it's chips - since the beginning of this week!

HTC may have ordered a few 10.000th items of this chip for the polaris which are obviously already delivered.

The polaris is assembled in taiwan.

And last the devices have to be delivered all 'round the world (hee - something like santa hoohoo).

You thing, the time from delivering the chips from qc to htc and the device in the stores is less than one week?

All devices, which are sold till now are fully functional!

All other will do well too ...

Designing a mobile (any so called hightech) lasts several months. If they change the umts-functions they will to it by firmware change ;) they won't be able to simply replace the chip. Or they leave it like it is, maybe some compensation will be payed to Broadcomm.

greetz

a happy polaris owner :D
[Touch Cruise General] RaptorRVL:
Well, please search for some articles and read them people.

From reuters:

Qualcomm can use rival chip patents till 09

From news.com:

Qualcomm says Broadcom ruling to hurt in short term

From what I've read there (and on some other sites) they can keep on using the chips till '09. At least for the deals they already have made, but they have to pay royalties.

Qualcomm can already deliver a workaround chipset quite soon (so they were already prepared) but as it seems the court/judge wants have a look at that and how.

Read it and make up your mind yourself I'd say. Personally I don't think it's all that bad. They can keep on using the current chips for some time while paying royalties for that. And they already have a workaround chipset which is available for device manufacturers.
[Touch Cruise General] mbeijer:
so there is something to do with the 3g connectivity...

i've had the phone now for over a week and noticed that i have to set my band specific to gsm (normally on 'auto') to be able to call en get calls... then my 3g only doesn't work... if i put it to auto again i have 3g but calls are redirected to voice mail i cannot callout and messages are delayed...

anybody an idea of a solution... has this to do with rom? or is my opperator settings wrong?
[Touch Cruise General] ianl8888:
RaptorRVL

Thank you for your contribution. I had already read most of Qualcomm's published replies, but had not realised Motorola was involved here as well.

It isn't simply that Qualcomm has to pay royalties on whatever they sell now - it's dated from May, 2007 when a jury found them guilty. So obviously units already sold will be subject to royalty payment but cannot now be re-priced to the customer ... it's not hard to guess how Qualcomm will cover these debts.

Workaround chipsets are subject to Court examination in about 6 weeks and there cannot be a reliable prediction (especially not from Qualcomm) on the result of that. Once such an examination has occurred and some sort of Court sanction negotiated, device fabricators have to re-gear. This implies a futher long-enough time lag in release dates for products using the current infringing chipsets.

You will also notice, I'm sure, that the end consumer is not considered at all in these shenanigans. Far from "not too bad", I think it's a complete and probably cynical f***-up in order to try and cash in on 3.5G.

The most irritatingly depressing part is that this is not atypical of the industry.
[Touch Cruise General] jgermuga:
This is quite common. At one of my former gigs I built a forcasting system for patent filings, and esentially, every country has their own rules, with some overlap for European Common Market filings. Very complicated! This is why patent attorneys make mad money.

Seems this should be the same case for the Kaiser. In addition, I thought the result was a royalty for some products whcih were intorduced before a certain date (June 2007??) and a complete injunction against products introduced after that, meaning they would need t be pulled from production and the sotre shelves.

So this definitely has me wondering if the reason HTC has not come up with drivers yet is that they were wating to see how this case played out. I could see where they may decide to drop the chipset entirely because it complicates thier distribution process and perhpas they didn't want to invest in a chip set that is going to be retired.
[Touch Cruise General] RaptorRVL:
Manufacturing multiple new devices with this chip doesn't exactly sound like 'waiting and see how this plays out'.

The Touch Dual, Touch Cruise ánd S730 all come with the Qualcomm chipset. I don't think they are waiting with the drivers because of the Qualcomm situation. It's quite stupid to wait with the drivers but start shipping out three new models.

Also I think it's highly unlikely HTC will pull back their products because of this. It's not directly their problem but Qualcomms problem. The main thing HTC has to worry about is the future, what chipsets can Qualcomm deliver. And will Qualcomm be able to make a chipset with a workaround that can be used immediately by HTC. I'm sure manufacturers are not waiting for a completely different chipset that costs a lot of time to implement again. If Qualcomm is smart they make a workaround chipset that can be used exactly the same as the other chipset. Most 'easy solution', but only the future will tell if that's possible.

But who knows, maybe I'm too optimistic. In that case I'm here to try and even out the pessimistic posts a bit :D
[Touch Cruise General] ianl8888:
Thank you for that. I also stated that when lawyers and judges become involved, they are the only winners !!

I worked once for a very large multi-national mining company (several, in fact) as a Geology Manager. These people had several in-house lawyers - and a very cool bonus concept for them: the end-of-year bonus depended on how well they had stayed out of court that year ... love it, love it.
[Touch Cruise General] kevinrirvine:
Go to phone, options, settings, band selection and there you will see what frequencies your device supports. However, I also bought mine from on the go about the same time you did and am on ATT AND i can absolutely assure you in spite of what other's have said in this thread your's has TRIBAND UMTS/HSDPA. Mine flys on HSDPA so to be honest I am a bit confused why you would pay $799.00 for such a high end device and being with t-mo you can't access the advanced features of this device. Hope this helps.
