I have always been surprised that there isn't a simple sleep timer for WinMo that will shut it off. Even something like on the iPhone/Touch, that you just set a time, it counts down, and then turns the unit off. Some media players include this feature, but for those that don't, I would love to be able to just have the music/podcast turn off automatically when I'm going to sleep.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Myrddin Wyllt:
MortPlayer has a built in sleep timer, as well as a screen blackout during playback feature. Both are highly configurable, as well as the skins (try the steel skin, it is definitely the best one).

I think this player is truly underrated. It can only handle a couple of formats (IIRC, it's mp3 and ogg vorbis), but it's so easy to convert your media these days, that I don't see the hindrance, and the feature set on MortPlayer is just...well, I've already said it, it's underrated. By a lot. I've ALWAYS installed it, and never had a problem with it in any version of WM. I'm running a 6.5 ROM right now, and it works just like it did for me way back in the WM5 days.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Magelumbus:
I like this idea but would refine it (for starters) to TV. I would like a BT or wifi link from my Fuze to a box near my home theater system that would output the IR codes directly to the TV/audio in my house. That way I can use my Fuze as a remote control from anywhere in BT or wifi range and I don't have to modify my existing TV/audio setup other than positioning the IR emitter correctly. The software part would obviously be the remote control stuff on the Fuze (and figuring out how to translate the instructions into the correct codes for the TV/audio).

My kids are forever losing the remotes and I like the idea of messing with their heads from somewhere else in the house.:)

i'd like a comprehensive sports statistics app for use tracking fantasy leagues. it should be able to tabulate box scores for players, teams, and groups of players over various ranges. it should be able to pull these results from various sports stats websites.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Motorious:
There are a lot of good ideas on this forum, however, will they fit in to the scope of your project? Many people don't realize just HOW much coding would go into programs such some of the ideas listed...

Here are a few ideas (yes, I admit, this idea is also fairly involved :p):

1. How about you implement a Purdue University Dating and Social service. Use the university servers to host a site, and write an app that interfaces with said servers. You don't necessarily need people to sign up for this thing, you can populate the server with data to demonstrate the functionality.

Possible features:

- the ability to search attributes of potential dates (i.e. hair colour, activity level, degree etc)

- the ability to browse and post social events with the ability to limit visibility (i.e. if there is a computing science party, and only want comp sci majors attending, send out an event invite to only comp sci majors).

- appropriate encryption and security

- live interaction (i.e. chat)

- the ability to push gps coordinates (or address) for an event or meeting place, parse a website that gives directions from either current gps location or specified location, and display and store that information.

Here is a scenario:

You go to perdue university and it's the end of the semester. It's friday night, and you have no plans. You think blonde women doing a degree in art are attractive. You use your Perdue Uni Social App to search for such a person. Luckily, it just so happens that such a girl exists and is using the service. Mustering all the game you have, you send her a message (she's allowed people to send her random messages in her security settings). Score! After chatting a bit you agee to meet up in a safe public place such as a party. After searching using her app, she pushes a party she has found to you. You agree...sweet! But you suck at directions, so you ask your applications to give you directions from your current gps location to the party. You go meet her there at the specified time (which you were reminded of by your social app) and realize you have made a fatal error: you didn't search her age or bother with a picture! She's 58 years old. You spend a night entertaining someone you're mom's age and go home, remembering to block all future correspondence from this woman in the future. Next Friday night you find yourself kind of desperate. You go through your history, unblock the old lady, and try to get laid on your second date.

*cough*

How about some audio production apps. I would love something extremely powerful like Ableton Live.

Thats, probably impossible, but I would be totally excited for a simple multitrack step sequencer so I can make drum beats when I'm stuck somewhere for a bit. Something as simple as the FL Studio Step Sequencer/Pattern Sequencer. Just give me at least 8 tracks that I can load WAV or MP3 drum samples into, volume and panning controls, solo and mute controls and each step has a velocity control. I don't even care about effects or filters, though they would be nice. Top it off with export to WAV and export to MIDI. As basic as FL shown here:

But make it look COOL. That looks like crap. I want that functionality with a cool touch UI. Optimized for finger use, not the stylus, and zoom functionality. That way I can get a good visual overview zoomed out, and then zoom back in and turn on steps with fat fingers and it will look cool and modern. MIDI on the backend is EXTREMELY old simple technology, so you could even just do one midi channel, though if each row was it's own midi channel, that would be even better. I could program drums when I'm out and impress chicks with my cool phone and music skills and then get them into Ableton when I actually have time to mess with some music.

I just looked around for an iPhone app and I'm actually so angry right now at some of the cool stuff they have. This thing, Beat Maker, is super advanced to what I'm even asking, but every different UI screen looks pretty cool. How it works, I don't care because iPhone users can kiss my @ and I will never be one of them, but I might use someone's iPhone for a few min to mess with Beat Maker.

Just a fraction of that app that looks cool would be amazing. PPC used to be the musician's cellphone of choice, but Microsoft refusing to get more modern than the stylus for too long really killed off it's niche market and no one is making music production apps at all for the Windows Phone platform. You would make my YEAR if you even consider it.

**edit, forgot i attached bedrum for iphone because beat maker made me flustered, but even an old school single track at a time drum sequencer would make me so happy. multi is better because i can program multiple minutes of drums 100% visually and they sound hot. bedrum's 1 track UI would be much less taxing for you to program**
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Spo73d:
Hmm, something I havnt seen around, but could be quite useful.

A shopping application...

Basically, lets you add items to a shopping list and saves the list, but when you reach the shops, you can add in the prices next to each good on the list, so that you keep track of your budget and know the exact cost of all your goods, before reaching the counter....

Just an idea for a everyday use kind of application.:)

Idea

Hi, just saw your post, and maybe i could give a good one.

As you can see whith much of the troubleshooting is pretty frequent to find people with raphael from all over the world.

One of the main problems, is even that englist widely spread so few people are actually bothered by using a WWE rom, but one main problem surfaces.

By flashing a WWE i loose my physical keyboard layout, and i would like to take it back without having to install the original ROM's.

So could u make a simple program that changes the physical layout for the several that exists ? If you do, that would an important application since there is a lot of countrys where the FN+key is completely different from WWE Rom's.

By the way, i can provide the spanish original ROM. Its special FN+key keys are mostly different form english and include [ç á é í ú] which in WWE Rom's are disabled. There also german finish nowergian ... etc roms whith other caracters. Its a question of obtaining the original keyboard layout for each one of them.

Plus thx for your attention.

Call Forwarder

Hi,

Many people would like a to be able to forward certain calls to another number (besides the default voicemail) yet no such program exists. I'm sure it must is possibe yet no such program exists. The program only needs to lookup the incoming number in a database an see witch number to call should be forwarded tosetup a conference call with both numbers and mute to microphone. I'd be happy if someone programed that.

Cheers,

BlueDog app

I have a simple useful idea and probably will incarnate it myself,

just do not have enough time right now. I have the name - BlueDog :)

It's an app to watch for the bluetooth headset connectivity

and launch alarm in the event of lost signal. Applications:

a) evident - do not lose headset while going away with phone alone

or do not lose the phone while going away with headset alone;

b) advanced - to use the headset as a 'watchdog' for valuables in

a bag; the headset can be placed inside the bag and the phone can

launch alarm if the bag is stolen and the phone has no connection

with the headset. The program should have an ability to block

sound redirection to headset for this mode (since the headset

is not used for conversation).

P.S.: I believe it should be freeware ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] ThaProphet:
Privet! Great idea! I would use something like this, and I know several other people who would too!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] dostra7:

Mods can we make this a sticky to stop further irrelevant threads

Please categorize your question accordingly, Anaylize which forum to post it

Development forum is only for development of phone OS related stuff

Q- My phone is stuck and the android loading or the second screen

A- your ROM flash went wrong or some system files are missing

Remedy- Flash the ROM again or try flashing some other ROM, check your SD card if its inserted properly(If you have Linux-swap or apps 2 sd activated)

Q- I cant go past the first splash screen and i cant move into recovery or bootloader

A- Say goodbye to your phone, it is bricked.

Remedy- PM me maybe i can help you get a new phone (already got a new phone after bricking)

Q- I cant go past the first screen but can enter recovery or SPL

A- Your ROM is not flashed properly or check your SDCARD maybe its not inserted (SDCARD step only if you have apps 2 sd , linux-swap or data 2 sd)

Remedy- flash a new ROM, use nandroid and and try reformatting the ext partition

Q- My phone is slow

A- Your phone is overloaded

Remedy- Try wiping, removing some apps and increase linux swap

Q- Home screen reloads after quitting Application

A- Your RAM is not enough, phone quits Launcher or Rosie to make some RAM free

Remedy- Use or increase linux swap or try increasing swappiness

Q- Sdcard says update.zip not found

A- maybe you renamed the update.zip as update.zip.zip .If you have enabled show file extensions for know file types then rename it as update.zip and if not then rename it as update

Q- Which ROM is best for me/ Which ROM is the best for 32A/B?

A- Take some time on the forums, look at the ROMs available for your device and individually assess what works for you by reading the various issues affecting them and make a decision. If that still doesn't work out for you, hey, that's what makes XDA great, try a different one and so on, till you find one that YOU'RE happy with. It's very subjective since what my needs are could be totally different from what yours are.

Q-What will/is released, When will be released, New is released

A- Post is General Forum, leave this forum for Phone Development by Developers

Any other questions or suggestions welcome

A- I suggest reading the Sapphire Wiki as it contains a lot of information about troubleshooting when you're stuck

Q- I have no data/ 3G connection

A-Check under settings ->wireless controls->mobile networks->access point names, If you have no APN set then add your carrier APN settings from this list here

Not 100% correct: if you can still load in fastboot mode (vol DOWN+POWER) you can still boot a recovery image and flash it on the device:

1. fastboot mode

2. fastboot boot myrecovery.img

3. (in the recovery) adb shell mount /sdcard

4. adb push myrecovery.img /sdcard/recovery.img

5. adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

myrecovery.img: whatever the file is called.

How do I know if I have a 32a/32b phone?

I've got a myTouch 3g and I just got it a month ago.

Is rooting illegal? I know it voids your warranty but do you get apps for free and stuff?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Super Jamie:
Boot your phone into fastboot mode:

Power phone off

Hold Back key and power phone on

It will bring up a screen which either says

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G

or

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H

There will be instructions on the screen to power the phone off so you can boot as per normal.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skrki:
Yeah but charnsingh says, if we CAN'T go into recovery.. You're assuming we can :)

The post is a bit misleading, cos we don't expect physical damage to the device (in which case, you get to the first splash, but can't reach recovery.. i.e. your Back/Vol. down buttons don't work)

Whenever I flash a new ROM I backup my data and apps using either Backup To Root or MyBackup Pro. When I reinstall my apps it never puts the apps back into the Market under my Downloads so that if the app developers update their apps it shows that there is an update. IN fac the only apps shown are the ones I've purchased.

What do I need to do, besides reinstalling each one individually, in order to have the Market get all my apps in the Downloads the way I want them?

Does my new mytouch with the more ram and 3.5mm jack have an actuall name?

Hello, I recently purchased my first smartphone. The mytouch3g with 288 ram and 3.5mm jack. For two weeks now I have been researching about rooting and roms. Most of the info that i am reading/viewing is on the oringinal mytouch3g...does this stuff still apply to mine? Will installing a custom rom give me more ram?

As a solution to the brick issue and not getting past the bootscreen or not beeing able to load fastboot or recovery here's a solution which I had tried on my magic after I lost all hope and it worked :)..Thanks to God and google :)

while on the bootlogo screen stuck, insert your datacable. it will show fastboot in red color on top corner.

run the android sdk cmd from dos prompt and enter "fastboot boot recovery_image_name.img" provided you can find the appropriate recovery image for your phone.

after updating, it will restart and you will bt good to go :)

Alt+W Wipe Data/Factory reset

Alt+B Nandroid Backup 2.1

Alt+X Console

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kski:
after you flash your DRC83_Base and rom you will then flash your kernel/port on top of that. if you are using an older recovery mode then yes you need to rename your kernel/port file to update.zip. it has to be a zip file to show up in recovery mode.
