[Off-topic] Confused Stu:
My wife had hers done about 10 years ago - cost her about £2000 I think. She was really pleased and didn't need glasses, until a week ago and now she needs them for driving. This reminded me laser surgery can only get your eyes to perfect, it cannot fight natural aging too.

I went 18 months ago, attracted by the adverts saying "from £395 per eye". Turned out my eyesight was bad enough that I didn't qualify for the cheapest option, and that my pupils were 1mm too large to qualify for the second cheapest (!). This left me with only the final option available to me - £3300 all in. Couldn't afford that, so used the grand I'd saved to buy a Thunderace instead.

Wish I could get my eyes done as I'd love to be able to see when I first wake up, and when swimming, however, I cannot afford it at the moment. One day.... :)
[Off-topic] Paitor:
I did it 1½ year ago on both for ~2000 USD here in Sweden. It feels like my eyesight is getting worse again so I think that I did it too early before my eyes had stabilized. They did warn me about doing it to early so I can't blame them. I did it when I was 22 years old. Of course my eyesight is much better than before but when you pay that much you will easily get a bit picky.

Yeah I'm getting mine for $3,700 (insurance won't cover it) with one of the best on the west coast..

Sorry to hear about the onions situation lol :D
[Off-topic] Shizzx:
I had mine done last month.. I LOVE IT.

Costed me $3700 for the lasik which was cleared for at the last min but was going to get the prk which the price for that was $3200. BUt it had a longer recovery time.

All in all the lasik is the best. ITCHED LIKE HELL FOR THE FIRST DAY. (make you wanna rub the stuffing out of your eyes) but after you put some drops in there and goto sleep by the time you wake up your vision is clear as day.

* Its actually clear as soon as you get out but not as clear*

I now have 20/15 vision.

I must say is the best volunteered money i have ever spent.

Good luck when you get it done..

FYI. they gave me tylenol pm before my surgery to help me goto sleep afterwards... ( word to the wise - Bring something a little stronger)

the procedure only take 7 mins if that for both eyes and you want to goto sleep as soon as possible, trying to stay up and enduring the pain till the meds kicks in isnt a good feeling at all

GOOD luck to all those are getting New eyes...
[Off-topic] kennethyip:
I had been considering too, but I dont want to risk both eyes, so I think I will do my left eye first, wait until it "recovered' then do the right eye.

One eye at a time is more expensive.
[Off-topic] oldsap:
does age affect the lasik operation decision making? i mean im 37 now and everybody says that it's a waste of money coz by the age of 40 everybody will surely have poorer eyesight. i've been considering lasik for 5 years now.
[Off-topic] leobox1:
is it painful? during or after?
[Off-topic] Chainfire:
Interesting thread. I've been thinking about having this done for a long time but scared to do it (I have an eyephobia... there's probably a decent word for it but eyes do really freak me out). Do you have to be awake during the procedure?

BTW it's a couple of thousand Euro's here.
[Off-topic] Ather:
afaik, yes you'r awake during the opt. it only takes ~10 minutes to complete it :p
[Off-topic] sguerra923:
Finished!!!!! 20/20

Surgery finished! 20/20 vision!!!! :D :D :D :D :D

And came out with some good drugs! haha j/p :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

:) :) :) :) :) :)
[Off-topic] galaxys:
congrats and be careful with the drugs :eek:

keep us posted on any side affects like dryness, etc.
[Off-topic] oldsap:
any oldies out there who could relate to this??? :D
[Off-topic] the-equinoxe:
Since this is part of my Real world job:

When 40+ presbyopia will kick in, and hence you ill be needing reading glasses (in most cases anyways).

Next to that, Lasik has some unpleasant side effects:

-when the cornea is sliced so that the lower part of the cornea can be lasered, lots of nerves are cut too. This can result in dry eyes (less nerves-> less stimulus for tear forming).

-the higher correction needed, the smaller the surface of the applanation will get (Myopia will be corrected by flattening a part of the cornea).

This can result in a cornea that has good sight in daytime environment, but when looking in a darker environment (driving at night) the pupil can get bigger than the part threaded.

This can result in halos and nightblindness.

So before getting Lasik, please get Informed, talk to your Optomotrist and weigh the pros against the contras.

A better alternative to Lasik is an implant Lens (eg. artisan/artiflex)This is an artificial lens that is placed in the eye (over the iris).

Pros: less invasive, correctable, for myopia as well as for hypermetropia (from -23 to +13), less side effects, reversable, far less pain after surgery.

Contras: Costs.

EqX

thnaks for the heads up mate, im flying after tomorrow for the opt. :p

my doc's says my tests are great, and i'd have "eagle's vision" lol, atm my eye sight is 6/36 :O
[Off-topic] sguerra923:
Yeah I have some dryness.. but the doc said its normal.. I know im just messing about the drugs its just vicodin which I only took one pill after the surgery..
[Off-topic] oldsap:
coming from a Mod in the XDA-Dev world AND an eye doctor in the REAL world, this is a very very helpful info. Thank you very much.
[Off-topic] sguerra923:
Update..

So its been about a week already, tomorrow I go in for my week check up. The doctor told me to take it easy on working out etc. So I have and tomorrow hopefully she clears me.

The dryness has calmed down.. im still on my meds for my eyes but its still cloudy but I can still see 100000x better than before. It's just going to take about 3 more months (Hopefully sooner than later) but overall best thing I did at my age 27.

[G1 General] Thegovernor:
does anyone know where i can find this for free? i wanna do apps 2 sd....thx
[G1 General] jdwme:
you can download a trial of the software, but most likely will cause you to have issues later on with it not wanting to work any longer. I found it easier, even with a full version of paragon, to just use a linux live cd to format my card. I used parted magic, check it out here http://partedmagic.com/
[G1 General] Thegovernor:
so this can be downloaded here???
[G1 General] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
You can also use my appstosd2 app to do this from your phone(or MartinFick's SDSPLIT script since my app just provides a gui overlay for it).

If you do use my app, please make sure you have a steady connection(it downloads MartinFick's script), be patient, ignore any notifications and press "wait" if it asks to force close.

Most

of the time it ends up working perfectly if you do all that though sometimes it freaks out because the connection seems to time out before it finishes downloading the script and tries to run the script even though it's not complete. At any rate, if it freaks out, just take a deep breath, reformat the card(the phone can do this automatically) and try again.

My app isn't 100%(obviously, since it does occasionally freak out) but when it does work, it works perfectly, unlike paragon.
[G1 General] Mikey:
For one NO it can not be legally obtained for free.

There fore do not ask on these forums where you can find it for free.

Strange issue with my Tilt... when my apps try to connect to the internet using MEdiaNet they just close out... when I use them on a wifi connection they work with no issues.... Internet connection sharing also works fine when I tether to my laptop....

Currently using ROMeOS 3.5

Any ideas?

---UPDATE----------

After a hard reset this is the current status-

Apps are no longer closing out but some are getting a "cannot connect with current connection settings" message

PIE- connects with no issues

Google Maps- connects with no issues

Internet Connection Sharing- connects with no issues

Skyfire- Does not work... keeps on checking for flight mode

Email- Does not work- "cannot connect with current connection settings" message
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Rudegar:
is

settings->connections->connections->advanced->select network

set to my isp or whatever your device have named the gprs settings profile

if not change it so it is
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kaiserII101:
Also if you have at&t go to start/settings/connections/connections. You should see MEdia Net with options underneath and My Work Network with options underneath it. Underneath MEdia Net, click the option set up my proxy server. Disable the option that says "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet." Hope this helps

Hey,

I've just stumbled upon this community and I'm really grateful to see so many developers working on HTC Android devices. That said, I would like to ask for some info on the custom ROMs that work on Magic (features, differences, etc.).

Could outline them quickly or point to somewhere I can read that info?

Thank you so much!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Fatal1ty2787:
Let me try:

Haykuro6.0r1 ROM:It's an HTC no Brand ROM, it still has problems like:volume of the micrphone(for the otherone on the phone it's difficult to hear you), and it's slower than the others.

Roger's ROM: it's still an HTC no Brand, but has some ION's improvements, that means it's faster than the 6.0r1, it has some apps pre-installed, microphone bug fixed, and other stuff (read the thread).

Hero ROM:it has Rosie, so it's graphically ahead of the others ROM, but it's not released yet by HTC, it means that it's incredible slow (compared to the others), and has lot of bugs (again: read the thread for more info)

France ROM: Never tried, but it should be (the releaser forgive me if I'm wrong) a Vodafone ROM , with ION's improvements, and JF kernel, that means it's fast, but you can't install HTC2s apps.

Every ROM's should ( not sure about it, again: read each thread) have tethering enebled, and everything working (except for the bluetooth in the Hero's ROM, that is not working yet)

If I've forget other ROMs sorry for that, but it's quite late here!

I'm sure somebody else could be more specific...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jackye:
Thanks!

So what are the advantages of each ROM when compared to the default one? What's the difference between ION and the current ROM?

Also, just to make sure, rooting and installing custom ROMs doesn't void the warranty, does it?

Salve, sto avendo dei grossi problemi con il palmare perchè spesso quando accendo si blocca all'accensione, e appaiono strane linee verdi sullo schermo..stessa cosa se faccio lunghe chiamate ho avvio applicazioni pesanti..

Probabilmente il suo decesso è imminente ma stavo pensando nel frattempo si salvare il salvabile con una rom più leggera.

Adesso ho la claros6.1

Cosa mi consigliate? anche una versione precedente va bene, l'importante è che sia leggera

grazie
[P3600 ROM Development] FeRoX80:
scusa la domanda... ma si vede spesso lo schermo male, come se i pixel perdessero il colore, e a volte lo schermo non si accende proprio??? a me succede ultimamente purtroppo.. sto aspettando un pò e lo mando in garanzia per vedere se lo aggiustano.

a te che problemi dà?
[P3600 ROM Development] Gamempire:
si, spesso si vede male, si blocca totalmente lo schermo e sono costretto a staccare la batteria e rimetterla..manco con il soft reset riparte bene
[P3600 ROM Development] FeRoX80:
Stesso problema mio... guarda io sto aspettando che mi arriva un muletto e lo invio in garanzia... ancora ho 3 mesi di garanzia... per adesso ho provato a mettere la Rom con windows mobile 6.5 per vedere se funziona meglio, e mi sembra di si, ma devo ancora testare bene. Cmq il prima possibile rimetto tutto originale e lo mando in garanzia...

sto pensando cosa scrivere come problema al centro assistenza, in modo che lo riparino, perche non sempre lo schermo si vede male oppure non si accende.
[P3600 ROM Development] Gamempire:
vedi che la tua garanzia non è più valida sin dal giorno che hai flashato la rom e messo una rom cooked o non originale

e anche rimettendo il sistema operativo originale, dubito che quelli ti facciano valere la garanzia perchè lo vedono che lo hai flashato
[P3600 ROM Development] FeRoX80:
tranquillo, ho già inviato il palmare in garanzia 6 mesi fa perche non vibrava più, e avevo installato 3000 rom diverse, ma prima di inviarlo ho rimesso tutto originale e mi hanno aggiustato tutto, quindi lo puoi inviare in garanzia. L'importante è che metti tutto originale, rom, hard spl, radio, ecc. Figurati che mi hanno anche cambiato la cover perche se ne era andata la vernice.
[P3600 ROM Development] franjanko:
Stesso identico problema, schermo a linee e illegibile, se fosse un pc direi che i driver della scheda grafica andavano aggiornati perche' sotto il cell continua a funzionare me non aggiorna piu lo schermo, ho provato a chiamarmi con un altro telefono e squillava, ma non appareva nulla nello schermo e non suonava ne vibrava...questo spesso mi sta succedendo a batteria mezza scarica, ma e' stranissimo perche' ho questa rom(wm 6.1 Kamba 8.0) da svariati mesi ormai e ho cominciato ad avere questo problema da tipo 2 settimane ormai...

Provero' a installare una nuova rom...
[P3600 ROM Development] FeRoX80:
Si si è questo il problema... il mio ha gli stessi problemi vostri.

La rom con WM 6.5 sembra andare meglio per quanto riguarda il fatto dello stand by del monitor che poi non si accende più. E per adesso non ho avuto problemi di display.

Io sto cercando un muletto per mandare il mio in garanzia, appena lo trovo lo invio.

caso mai lo inviate pure voi ditemi cosa ci scrivete... e poi aspettiamo per vedere se lo aggiustano. Mi sento meglio ora che so che non è un problema solo mio.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WDawn:
Very usefull! Great work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lit2fly:
very nice program... but I have been wondering.... under what situation you need that software except that

1. it extended the range of a remote (but if you're too far away from the computer, you probably can't hear the music)

2. you want to scare away someone when you're not at home (provided that you actually know the situation at home)

my idea is, to make the software more "meaningful", you may consider to add the ability that, streaming the the song to your device from the host computer.

therefore even you don't have the physical files on your phone (maybe space limitation?) you can still listen the songs as long as you have them on your playlist. does that make a little bit more sense?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Freckle:
It is indeed an option I will look into.

However many people reported this to be very useful when you're sitting outside and u got the speakers turned up, or you are in the living room and would like to put on another song without walking to the pc.

I find it very useful to train with, I don't have a mirror upstairs so I go downstairs, but I don't have speakers there and I hate to run up and down to change/replay a song.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chris10230:
This app is awesome and to have a remote app that works of the internet work a genius. Something i thought should have been created ages ago.

I just have one small issue when i go to retrieve playlists the server on the pc crashes. It gets the information from the 'client Says: Playlists' but then windows says 'dServer has encountered a problem and needs to close' etc .

If there is a debug file or need more info ill give it to you as i would love to have this app working for me :D

Also im running XP SP3 if that has any bearing.

Also probably a stupid question but do you have to have the server running to use the other programs such as itunesm, wmp etc?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Freckle:
Thanks for your appreciation!

Alright, let's run through the procedure shall we :)

You have extracted dRemote_Server_v0.3.1.zip to a folder on your pc.

Make sure you put the DLLs in the same folder.

Now start the server, specify the ports and click "Enable"

Now click on Add Playlist, locate a .wpl file (Windows Media Player Playlist).

Now you can load the client and try to refresh the playlists.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chris10230:
Yeh ive done that exactly and i still get the issue heres what i get

Also i am using a .wpl playlist
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Freckle:
Thanks, I've been able to re-create the problem.

It's fixed, download dRemote_Server_v0.3.2.zip from my first post:

very cool concept. Ill try it as soon as i can
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chris10230:
woop woop it works and it is awesome, part from the slight lag but i can understand that as it uses the internet to work

Also i found another bug :) when i select a song from the playlist to play i get an error as well on the server and it crashes and exits??

And a small request on the server can you make an option to minimize to tray as i would run it in the background constantly and therefore like to not have it taking up space on the old taskbar.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Freckle:
Can you be a bit more specific on the crash?

It works fine for me :S

I will make a tray option, I love programs that have minimize to tray enabled so why not make it for dRemote :D

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sbp:
Hi thank you for this software. This is just what I was missing (I think).

I'm trying to build me an audioplayer (a thin client), which is connected to my HIFI system. The client will play my music which is stored on a server which is located upstairs (Windows home server) in FLAC format.

My problem was that I didn't want to turn on my TV (or use another monitor) in order to navigate my music files. I had been thinking something like a Squezeebox Duet, with this little hady remote.

BUT now I think that maybe I can use your software and then use my phone (or even an old PDA that I don't use anymore) as a remote.

Therefore I have a few questions:

1. Can I browse the musicfiles via my client (the files are on the windows mediaplayer).

2. I had been thinking of using the FooBar audioplayer - is that possibel.

3. Which players are supported by your software (MP classic and also windows mediaplayer version??)?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Freckle:
1. you can only browse music files while using the built-in Media Player.

2. Never heard of FooBar Audio Player. I can give it a shot though.

3. Mp Classic, iTunes, built-in media player and WMP (I don't know which versions work, but 11 is what I'm using, I'm pretty sure other versions will work as well)

Could you try explaining your situation again?

I didn't really get what you mean.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Azure465:
Something really good would be to be able to browse itunes library:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sbp:
Thank you for your reply.

I will try to explain it better.

I have ripped all my music from CD's to Flac files, which is stored on a computer running Windows Home Server (WHS). This computer is located far away.

Then I would like to play my files using my HIFI equipment - therefore I made a very small computer running windows XP and FooBar (the audio player). This little computer (a thin client) is connected to my HIFI amplifier and the sound is comming out of my HIFI.

It plays the files which is located on the WHS-computer and can assess these music files via UPnP or dlna connection.

But as I have no screen (monitor) connected I can't navigate and find the music files I want to play - and this is where your software can be used. Now I hopefully can use a PocketPC to find the music files and start playing it.

So now it will function as a Squeezebox http://www.slimdevices.com/pi_duet.html
