Bluetooth thru Regular headset

I want to be able to listen to mp3's, e-books, etc.... (all sound) ... thru my regular bluetooth headset. I use to have a T-mobile Wing (Windows Mobile) and used an app called BlueCast to implement just this feature.

I have done a lot of googling and reading and I have found out that if, while on a phone call, you open your media player and start playing music, you can hear it through your regular bluetooth headset. (Not Stereo - just mono)..... and I tried it and it does work.

So...from my un-programmer mindset, I precieve that it is possible to direct audio from mp3's, etc...to the bluetooth headset. The pathway is there.....

I've posted this a couple of places - no one has bitten yet ... can anyone help?

Thanks

We as a android community need a xda forum app to make the forum easily accesable from our android mobile devices. So this is my challenge to the devs, to create a xda forum based app that is easy to load, and make it able to post new threads and reponses.(let your imagination take you)...

If it already exist and I'm retarded just say so... I just though I would put my two sense in....

LED Manager

This is a idea that I think be cool.

If possible, someone should make a application that allows you to change the LED for notifications. By default, the LED blinks green. I think it would be cool if we could change the color of the notification light to our liking.

I know this is somewhat possible because chompsms allows you to change the color for text messages.

Don't know if this is possible but it would be nice when bluetooth is paired with a device to be able to send autoresponces to text messages.

For example, I use bluetooth in the car and it would be nice if when its hooked up to my bt device if it would send an autoresponce to texts saying I am unavaliable to respond because I am driving.

A bluetooth add-on which will

Pass ring tones to the headset (I assign specific tones to specific clients so I know who is calling without looking).

Idea for an app I would pay for

A music player app similar to to the Hero HTC music player. I'm not suggesting a clone neccesarrily, but rather an app that would serve similar purposes:

Browsing/playing by genre, not just artist/album/song

Pretty album art display

Touch-flow view of music by album art

Better Multi-Tasking

I'd love to see an app come to the market that allows better multi taksing, something akin to the functionality on the pre.

I know there's:

* an app that lets you play apps on your bar

* an app that lets you switch apps by shaking the phone (sounds good, but does not work well...)

Sightreading app?

Hi all, my first post - be gentle :-)

I've really been enjoying the apps available for musicians on Android, specifically Musical and gStrings, but the one thing I haven't been able to find a solution for is a sightreading app. I've searched all over and can't seem to find anything. All it would really need to amount to is an app that can provide a timed slideshow, so images could slide in time to a piece. If anyone knows of an app that does this, please let me know!

And by the way, this is a wonderful community. Big thanks to all you guys, you've made my G1 experience better than I ever thought it could be.

StickWars

I just got an iPod Touch as a graduation present and I was downloading some apps when I ran across one called "StickWars" I don't know if anyone here has played it but it was so much fun!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Sbg7qQCqYA

Also there is a game called paper toss which is really fun.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS6rc_wD294

or blowfish app.

These are all just fun games whenever you are trying to waste a little bit of time but the one I would most like to see on android is Stickwars.

Browser feature suggestion

Hello

I'm like to find out about, or suggest an idea ,for a browser which is better suited to slow internet connections on the device.

There's only GPRS available on T-mobile in my little part of Northern Ireland so loading full html pages isn't much fun.

The Greed (Google Reader) application by the dev at http://fognl.com allows you to view a mobile version of most pages parsed through www.google.com/gwt/n?u= (more on this here: http://www.marktaw.com/technology/The-Google-Proxy.html)

Anyone know of an application that would allow me to open a link via this method or feel like trying to implement it?

Example:

Orig page: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/jun/17/manchester-united-transfer-policy

GWT page: http://www.google.com/gwt/n?u=http:...2009/jun/17/manchester-united-transfer-policy

[idea] Google Drive for Android

Well, I really haven't found this in the forums. If someone knows anything about it please let me know.

Anyone used the gdrive app for the PC? I'll be great to have that functionality for android, just upload and "maybe" share files that you upload into your own google disk space. Is there any application capable of doing this?

Lots of times i've been in the need of sending a file to my Droid for an update, a good picture of my family to have as a wallpaper, a great sound for a ringtone, but no way to put it into my phone because I have a @#@#@$"·"!$% laptop that doesn't have bluetooth, or wifi or anything to communicate with the world (works laptop) :mad:. I have a good FTP software, but what if I can't use any ftp server to upload it because of my works proxy?!... :eek:

Google Drive can help with all this!... any ideas? :confused:

G1 Calendaring sucks

I'm coming from WinMo, specifically PocketInformant and Flexmail. Man, I feel like I'm back in 1996. Granted Google Calenadar is pretty simple, but PI has stuff that Outlook doesn't, but still syncs with Outlook without the extras (you have to backup your pim.vol to keep all the PI extras).

The thing I think I miss the most is the function that Flexmail and PI do together, and that's make a calendar or task from an email. It just plugs the subject from the email into the calendar subject, and the body of the email into the text/body of the calendar or task.

Really, this could be a big money maker.
[G1 Apps and Games] Janis:
Import from csv or txt

I would love to try to sell the idea of making transition from other platforms easier. If developers could incorporate a way/format to import data from a txt or csv file into thier apps, lots of other apps on other platforms will export them. Allowing export is also a great way to have a ready backup function.

Answering machine on the phone

I used to have a voicemail application for my nokia s60 phone. It recorded calls just like a real answering machine on the phone's sd-card. Maybe someone who develops software could take a look. It has to be quiet simple, because there are several voice recorders on the market. The only problem could be, that there is (maybe) no API for accessing calls (auto pick-up).

just like these:

pointers are definitely fun, being a c++ person by day I am finding myself trying to use pointers with every new function declaration, and I just have to keep reminding myself that they don't exist

thanks for the recommendations about the emulator and anddev.org, I have been playing around with the emulator resolutions a lot to make sure that my apps will be compliant across devices, and anddev.org is deinitely a great resource

thanks to everyone else for their comments and recommendations... I have 2 different android projects that I am playing with at the moment

1 project is a pretty simple game, I have the user interface up and running so now I just need to implement the game logic... should only take another day or 2. I have decided that I am not going to open source these projects, I might open source a future android project, but someone is selling my windows GPL project, which they are entitled to do, and I am not upset over it, I just sort of feel like I need to find a better license that allows for the source to be out there but also restricts the distribution to only official channels.

The other project is probably never going to be released because it is more of a test bed for me. A simple task lister / switcher... If there was a way to kill tasks I would to that too, but it doesn't look like there is a way. If people are interested I will polish it, open the source and release it for free here and on the marketplace.

Anyways... if anyone is interested in beta testing a simple game let me know, I will try to have the first packages ready by the end of the weekend, but no guarantees. I will release the betas for free here on xda and post the final version in the marketplace for a small fee ($2?). If you beta test the app I will send you the final build. I plan on charging a fee because I need to put together some money so that I can buy a device, so hopefully I can make the $400 needed to buy a G1 with no contract so that I can do some proper testing. Right now I am testing on the SDK emulator and if I can figure out how to install apps on it, the QVGA build of android for the HTC Titan, so beta testers with an actual G1 device are very much appreciated.
[G1 Apps and Games] jashsu:
Unfortunately at the current time Android Marketplace doesn't support premium downloads. Word is early 2009. Until then you can brew up your own solution (i.e. take Paypal payments and send the user an unlocking code) or go as donationware until the actual ecommerce portion of Marketplace goes live.

By the way, the Android Developers Google Group is another excellent place to get some tips or troubleshoot.
[G1 Apps and Games] mpenguin14:
ah, thank you for pointing this out, it shows how little I know and how much I have to learn about the platform. I am sure I would have found it out once I paid the $25 fee to google to post apps in the marketplace, but I am holding off on that until I actually have something worth posting there.

I have checked out the google android group, every now and then I find some useful information there, but lately I have been getting by mostly with the sdk documentation, and random googling.

I have also seen http://slideme.org/# does anyone actually use this?

Thanks again
[G1 Apps and Games] haitiankid4lyf:
slideme.org is a great site i use it. its almost like the market place (you download an app called Slidme Application Manager) and you can download apps from there, users can comment and give feedback. i'm also pretty sure you can set up payment options for apps.

Adding to the list

something that could automatically download and install downloaded apps after a factory reset,

bookmarks backup for browser or a syncing mechanism.

My first post! :D

I've just recently got a G1 ... App request:

I'd like an app that separates the 'screen timeout' from the 'pattern unlock' turning on.

Eg:

Screen timeout set to 30 seconds (to save battery)

Pattern unlock set to 5 mins (so if I walk away from my desk and someone picks up my G1 they're locked out)

1. Youtube viewer that uses the Google account info to access favorites and view subscriptions. Maybe higher quality on the vids as well?

2. digital clock widget

3. graphing calculator like Spacetime (WM) - this could be really hard

4. gym app for managing current and previously used weights like Mysporttraining (WM) - same as above

5. Usenet client. Hellanzb is good and uses python, however It's dependant on par2 and unrar.

6. Shoutcast player. I have an app called Nagare but It's very simple as you can only enter url or open a pls. The pause/play button isn't working like it should either.
[G1 Apps and Games] doubleokneegro:
im not sure if its simple... but how about 2 things:

1. removing whatever is preventing the device to download anything from the web... for instance zshare.net, rapidshare cannot download, or .zip files can not download.... because it needs to be able to open them in something... why cant it just be saved to sd card eeven if its not 'openable'

2. How about changing or adding more options for the video player... what i mean is allowing more than just mp4, and 3gp playback. idk, it would be easier with wmv, mov, avi.. less conversions

3. cant think of anything else right now.... get back to ya

thanks to everyone for all of the comments and requests...

a few of these latest requests caught my eye

Interesting ideas that should only take a week or 2 to implement

- Zip/Rar unpacking/re-packing program

- graphing calculator like Spacetime (WM)

- gym app for managing current and previously used weights like Mysporttraining (WM)

Interested ideas that would require some Research

- some way too change the upper status bars color to black

- True news program that pulls stories and info rather than directing you to a website.

- Real E-book Reader (for PDF, Docs, and/or text)

the zip packer/unpacker interests me the most right now, because I feel like that is definitely a do-able project and it really is necessary for a modern os to have a simple way to handle that.

I know I could find out by searching the forums a little bit, but is there a good "file explorer" for android out there? Something that is as simple and powerful as "Total Commander" on the Windows Mobile side of things?

I am still working on a simple puzzle game, nothing really fancy so please don't get your hopes up, I still need to read up on using apks, but I am hoping to release an alpha version of the game here on xda this weekend. I say alpha because it will be an unpolished game, but I am eager to get feedback about running it from an actual device. Since selling apps is not yet supported on the Android Market I am going to finish off a free demo version of the game and have it posted in the Market by Christmas. Once I have that app posted I am hoping to have a good idea of the full life cycle of developing, testing, and publishing an android app. So far from what I have used of the SDK I like developing for android a lot more than developing for Windows Mobile...

Thanks again for all the feedback.

[G1 Apps and Games] sputnik99:
There is a pdf reader called Jetcet pdf on the market, wich works quite well with integration in gmail etc.

What is really missing is a doc reader/editor.

A good file explorer is "Bender" from the market. It's not the same as totalcommander but has basic functions.
