This would be a cool web program/service. It would certainly take a lot of input from all of you, but I could write a php script that puts vital information in a SQL database, then one that searches it. I can tell you right now though that I don't want to be the one to maintain it:)

If you had an exe to turn it on, and one to turn it off, would that be good enough? I will look into it and see what it is that changes.

Since you already tackled some GPS stuff, how about taking this idea from Android:

http://www.localeandroid.com/

I would love having a GPS based profile switcher. How nice would it be to have your phone automatically go to silent when you leave work. Turn on your Wi-Fi radio when you get home. Turn off all sound when you get to the local movie theater...

I dont even want the mapping portion of the locale software. If you could just set something like a radius from your current position, then set all your volume/radio options, that would be great.

Obviously battery might be a bit of an issue, so I dont know what the GPS polling interval would be (order of minutes maybe?).

portait/landscape animations

i would love to see a simple app that gives you portrait/landscape switching animations expecially like the ones found on the Samsung Omnia if it can be ported or at least the Iphone

who knows? maybe some new animations will be created if the app exists
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bedaweed:
Someone should make an app like the app store on the iphone but with all the apps on xda..would take long but would be cool
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mjg7876:
that would be sweet. Even if I polled every 10 minutes, the battery drain would be brutal. Not to mention, not sure how reliable it would be in a pocket, may not get a position. Might be worth playing with...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mjg7876:
Actually, if I could get everyone here to help load and maintain the database (online), writing the program to poll the data from it wouldn't be that bad. The problem would be keeping it up to date!

Gudy
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bedaweed:
im sure if you make a thread everyone will post their favorite apps and for keeping it up to date we could have a team that could do that like one person per day/week or something
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nmeister:
I know nothing about the resources available, but an option using A-GPS (isnt that always present) might help save some battery. Would probably be good enough for most people (except those who live a block away from work).

actually, on my phone, the A-GPS doesn't always work, mainly in my place of employment, but would bet other places wouldn't work either. You could code that in as a default setting when location can't be determined though.

What about a really, really cheap submission fee for shareware developers (1$) instead of royalty fees? They pay once and don't need to pay anything after. It's a great opportunity for them to get their applications distributed without royalty free.

As for freeware developers it's free.

You don't need a FTP server, only a table file(CSV? XML?) with the following info:

-Price

-Link to screenshot

-Link to up to 3 mirrors (direct link to open .cab in PIE or Opera)

-Short and long descriptions

-Version, date of update, date submitted

With a single downloadable file, anyone could make their own repository client. We might even change the address of the file and get different repositories.

You have a search and a browse function. When you select an application, you see the info page and are presented the following options:

-Download

-Report broken link

-Rate

-Leave a comment

So you don't need a big server for files, we get paid a bit and everyone is happy.

Should I start a thread?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bedaweed:
sounds like a plan:)

but we should get the actual program running first then create a thread

i dont really know much about programming so i would be no help

i could do some graphics
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] N1c0_ds:
Sorry to hijack your thread ;)

I'll get started on that project, but what file type should I use to import data?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mjg7876:
N1c0 and bedaweed, I LOVE IT! How big would this (file) get? XML is not good file size wise, CSV is a pain in the ass to search, sort, etc, but with either the updates would be a snap! I suck at graphics, but could write or help write the program and a web interface to submit programs for inclusion. I say we write up a plan and go for it. Start a new thread and get some community feedback for a project like this, see if it is something worth proceeding with.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mjg7876:
No biggie, but start a new one so we can move on with this one!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] N1c0_ds:
I looked at what XML was and that's what I will take.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mjg7876:
It's easy programming wise too. File size is my only concern.

How About....?

How about a simple gps prog to store one location then return to it ? Two buttons and an arrow with distance. Often struck me would be useful for things like when you park your car on a large car park, or if you visit a shop or somewhere your not sure about and have to return in an hour or two . Idea came from parking at alton towers ! one button says locate, other button says return, push to store the location, return to get directions back.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] paalkr:

Not sure I fully understand it, you want voicemails downloaded to your phone to play with? I have no idea how you would get the voicemail from your provider short of calling it and recording it. Not sure I am the right person for this one.

ID3 music quiz

I first want to say i love that you are doing this. As a avid ppc user with no programming skills i appreciate your work.

A fun program for you to develop is a ID3 music quiz. it is detailed in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=422897 . I am not sure how hard it would be but it would be awesome.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Iceman692:
OK, so this idea has been on my mind as well as many others for a long time. Some type of online storage that would work between the PPC and the PC. This way you have a networked drive between both devices, can store large files (both in size and quantity) and access them anywhere. It would also give you the ability to keep one single updated file.

So far we can up with 2 ways to do it. Xdrive (5 Gigs of free storage!) and Gmail

Hey,

Although I still voted for the event driven application launcher I hope you will include more types of events. Some (if not most) are already doable by adding to the notification queue.

Anyways, thanks for your efforts and I hope something beautifull comes out of it!

what other events would you like to see?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sinara:
Headset state (plugged in or out) or something of that sort. (remember my post regarding music stop when headset suddenly removed, or change from vibrate to normal when headset plugged in).

Your goal should be supporting htc (newer) devices. So all the devices should use the same addresssing and etc...

Gudy
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tatnai:
Thanks for looking into this, Gudy. I'll keep checking back.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] le_cactus:
Hi,

In no particular order:

Event when a specified bleutooth device connects

Event when the device changes from portrait to landscape and vice verse

Event when you are at (or near) a specific GPS coordinate

Event when a specified program becomes the active program

Event when a phone call ends

Event when a specified WIFI network is connected

Event when a specified registry value changes

Event when a specified file changes (timestamp?)

I would use all these events in scripts/B4PPC applications. So it would be great if such an event could start a program and parse a parameter to it. And maybe also write to a registry value.

I'm sure all can easily be done in C# or C++, but that just beyond my knowledge. And mortscript and B4PPC lack these event type. Sure you can program a loop of some kind (most of the time the registry give enough information) but that a drain on both performance and battery life.

Thanks, cheers,

Cacti
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mjg7876:
The bluetooth, portrait to landscape, and Wifi Network won't be a big deal. The majority of the others would require polling, and would effect performance. Still, could be added then optionally turned on/off perhaps.

I am not sure what type of message is sent. I'll let you know if I find anything on this matter.

Hi, I recently installed a Joying head unit, JY-UQ135N4G (7in 2Din with physical volume knob). When I tap the app switcher button on the home screen, it resizes all the apps windows really small, centred within the screen. How do I get these app windows to fill the screen like normal?

Hello,

I'm using a pixel 6 with two cards sim.

When I go to sleep the phone is fully charged and internet/wifi is turned off.

When i wake up i have 88% battery (I lose 1,5% per hour).

In battery use i see Ims Service.

I did a test and in airplane mode the battery loses 2% throughout my sleep.

somebody know how to fix problem?

[Google Pixel 6] NavySpark:
Many functions could be causing this. I have used accubattery in the past to see what is causing my drain. A few things to think about, do you have "hey google" and always on display active? I have seen these are large drains in past Pixel devices. It could also be an app that won't let the phone sleep properly.

[Google Pixel 6] WibblyW:
1.5%/hr is in the realms of power consumed when in weak cellular coverage. What's the signal strength for each of your SIM's networks?

Also an app or two may be sucking data or keeping the phone out of deep sleep more than it should. You have Bluetooth devices like a watch connected too?
[Google Pixel 6] Kamil90:
I don't use anything connected via bluetooth. I did not check the signal strength but I live in a big city so it should be ok.
[Google Pixel 6] WibblyW:
Either way, the impact of low signal strength alone is likely to be similar regardless of the model of phone.
[Google Pixel 6] sic0048:
Keep the phone plugged in while sleeping......

Years ago keeping a phone plugged in at 100% battery capacity would actually reduce the battery's life expectancy. However today phones have special charging circuits that actually disconnect the battery from the charging power when it reaches 100%. Once the battery reaches 100%, any power that the charger is providing is directly powering the phone's functions - it does not go through the battery to do this. This means having a phone plugged in for extended periods of time does not reduce the battery's life expectancy anymore.

This may help explain it better....

In the old days.....

When the battery is less than 100% power looks like this:

Charger ---> Battery is taking current --> Battery supplies power to phone function (releasing current)

When the batter is at 100%, power still looks like this:

Charger ---> Battery is taking current --> Battery supplies power to phone function (releasing current)

Today's phones look like this.....

When the battery is less than 100% power looks like this:

Charger ---> Battery is taking current and Charger --> supplies power to phone function

When the battery is at 100%, power looks like this:

Charger ---> supplies power to phone function while the battery is idle (not taking or releasing current)
[Google Pixel 6] 3dd1:
I don't profess to know about this topic bit have recently installed accubattery where charging the battery to only 80% for example gives less cycles which as a layman I assume would increase the longevity of the battery?
[Google Pixel 6] bobby janow:
I've just noticed something odd that didn't happen on my P5. From 100% down to around 80 the battery is draining relatively quickly. At 80 it hardly budges. The P5 was steady drain throughout the cycle. I'm going to keep an eye on that one. Curious if anyone else sees that.

As for determining draining apps I've used BBS for years. I look at alarms and partial wakelocks. Overnight anywhere between 0.5 and 0.8% / hour. Same apps same everything the P5 was 0.1 - 0.4. I think it will get better but overall not horrible.
[Google Pixel 6] RetroTech07:
Yes. The app explains this, saying that the more you charge your battery to 100 the more damage you do to it. Charging to only 80% or whatever amount of power you need is ideal and prolongs the overall health of your battery.
[Google Pixel 6] Kag:
I have similar issues just not Ims service.

Just waiting for a day when I have time to factory reset.
[Google Pixel 6] RetroTech07:
Try using a battery app to see more detailed information about what's causing battery drain.

Have you taken any steps to try and resolve? How old is your sim card, and what kind of cell reception do you get?
[Google Pixel 6] Kag:
I thought it was the SIM card and then i moved to eSIM which made no difference.

I generally done nothing to resolve as i started to suspect the drain was due to the migration causing some setting to mess up. I'm thinking of doing a factory reset setup from scratch would help as there were similar problems with Pixel 5 upgrading to Android 12.

Just that the reset will take a lot of time and effort.
[Google Pixel 6] RetroTech07:
It's been reported that a factory reset has helped some folks who had large battery drain or issues with mobile network standby after migrating from their old phone to the new 6. I may attempt as well.
[Google Pixel 6] jawamdame:
I had a problem with excessive battery consumption, I already know that it was caused by data transfer from my Pixel 5. The factory reset helped.
[Google Pixel 6] RetroTech07:
Do you have numbers to share regarding battery drain or battery life in general?
[Google Pixel 6] jawamdame:
I had 3.5 to 4 sot, I was losing 15% of battery overnight without using 5g
[Google Pixel 6] RetroTech07:
What numbers are you getting now? I'd like to not lose 1-2% an hour when the phone is asleep and not in use. I'm also annoyed with mobile network standby being in use all the time, despite never having an issue with it on my prior phone and even work phone, both pixels.

[LG V50 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Royaltiger:
I recently bought an LG V50 from an overstock warehouse. The phone is brand new and was in sealed box with all the retail contents. The problem is it is operating on Android Pie. The bootloader instruction for this phone requires Android 10. When I tried to flash it with the "engineering abl" to access the fastboot mode, the screen just stayed at LG logo.

So the question is how to get this phone to upgrade to Android 10. And hence do the bootloader unlock on the way to rooting it? I don't have a Sprint/T-Mobile account and plan to use it for music listening only. When I tried to activate it on T-Mobile site, the site tells me that the phone is incompatible and can't be activated.

So I am stuck with the Android Pie that is stopping me from unlocking the bootloader. Any insights?

Many thanks.

Some problems apeared using banking software and auth tools because of root. I dont need to mask or hide anything, I just want to unroot the phone leaving current software. In case i'll need it i can root it again. Reverting back to MIUI is not an option. So, the question is: how to unroot my phone?

- I found that sotware tool like Root Checker or SuperSU says that it's not rooted (WTF?)

- I cannot find any files in BIN or XBIN folders (crap, I love simple solutions)

Hope that you'll help me.
