I am in love with AlReader! Just perfect!

Im attaching the (freeware) English version. Hope that's okay (it's so hard to find on the web)
[HD2 General] chris_ah1:
I'll give it a try tomorrow and update my post :)

p.s. I am reluctant to give htc's ereader a whirl as apparently it is quite buggy.
[HD2 General] youmeus:
I also like this one...but it would be soooo cool if we got a fingerfriendly version for our HD2...anyone up to the task.

I admit I still have a longing for the tabbed interface and large book covers that you get from the HTC e-reader :)
[HD2 General] hector_huerta:
Yup that is the one is perfect for the HD2 and I love how you turn pages (I inverted top tapping to forward a page and bottom tapping to return to previous page) I found it to be very good, fast and with a lot of extra options

try it! you will not regret it!
[HD2 General] abogdan:
I install the attached file it but it is in Russian ....
[HD2 General] smeddy:
Hmm apologies for that... Sure it was the right file...

I don't believe I will be able to fish it out in the next 36 hours (wprking both days and v. busy tonight), but if you can wait a day or two (or someone else comes through) then please check back!!
[HD2 General] Beefheart:
The best Ebook reader on Windows Mobile is Allreader+. Unfortunately it isn't free but is worth the money, it can read all the important formats as far as I'm concerned and it has so many options that allow you to set it up exactly as you want.

Other options which are good are uBook and Mobireader.
[HD2 General] Jim Chapman:
Of course Freda already has finger-friendly navigation (configurable swipes and taps) to change page etc. As for finger-friendly settings screens, bookmarking and table-of-contents navigation, I am working on it ...

Other feature requests are welcome - so if there are features you'd like to see in Freda, please post here, or email me at home@jim-chapman.net

Thanks,

Jim
[HD2 General] smeddy:
Thanks for Freda by the way, it really is gorgeous. I think I will end up using it over AlReader when it loads a little faster and can open in fullscreen mode by default.

But love it!
[HD2 General] Jim Chapman:
Working on this now - expect better performance from the next version (particularly when opening a book for the first time, which right now is sloooow!).

Can you check the build number on your start-up flash screen. If it is less than 804, it might be worthwhile for you to download a new version (use the dropbox link on my website) - because build 804 should be capable of starting up in fullscreen mode.

Cheers,

Jim
[HD2 General] snowblind2142:
+ 1 to that. I've been looking for a stand alone cab for it myself.

If you find one let me know, Visa versa of course :o.

Thanks,
[HD2 General] Marne Jr:
Anyone knows if there is some reader for CHM format?
[HD2 General] MrGubby:
Hi Jim,

any chance of Freda supporting the .pdb format ?, All my old scifi books are in that format & I can't find any updates for them :)
[HD2 General] Jim Chapman:
To be honest, adding support for extra formats is not one of my priorities for Freda development - because it would make the program bigger, slower and buggier, and in the long run I expect EPUB to become the format of choice.

That said ...

1) As Freda is open-source, someone else might feel differently, and might develop a version to read additional formats. I'm doing some refactoring at the moment, so that adapting Freda in this way will become fairly simple.

2) Calibre is a good (PC based) package that can convert various formats into EPUB; it might be a good solution for you.

[HD2 General] anubis1126:
I am using mobireader from mobipocket

[HD2 General] athar13:
Thanks for the tip! Will check it out on my HD2 1.66 WWE :)
[HD2 General] rcrust:
Big thumbs up here for Freda! Finally an e-reader which natively supports epub format. No more hassle of converting with Calibre and using Mobipoicket (although not a bad e-reader).

Some minor naggles but I can live with those...
[HD2 General] MrGubby:
Thanks :)

I'll go and have a play now :D
[Nexus One General] creepinshadow:
So, i have my Alarm on my nexus One set up to go off at 6:45AM every Workday (Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri)

Today it didn't go off, i woke up at 6:47AM as my alarm didn't go off (my internal watch is pretty good :p)

Usually it vibrates and gives the alarm tone. This morning.. nothing.

So after reading the news i saw that there was a huge Date Bug in the Playstation Network due to the leap year.

So i jumped to the conclusion that Android or the alarm app has a similar date bug.

Anyone experienced something similar? Any dev input here?
[Nexus One General] bobtentpeg:
No date bug here. I literally watched it go from Feb 28 to March 1.
[Nexus One General] cymru:
My alarm went off today.
[Nexus One General] creepinshadow:
strange.

what networks are you guys on?

I'm on AT&T.

EDIT: one more question, do you have the alarm set for every day or is it like me for each single day?
[Nexus One General] McFroger3:
I am on t-mobile USA and I have my alarm set for 11am every day. And today it went off like normal and with me hitting the snooze button repeatedly lol.
[Nexus One General] viiddee:
haha same thing happend to me.. live in sweden.
[Nexus One General] Kermee:
Weird. I have my alarm set for 6am PST today (M-F) and the alarm didn't go off either... Woke up at 6:24am after realizing my "rooster" alarm didn't go off.

I thought it was a fluke until I saw this thread. WEIRD.

(On T-Mobile USA, locked Bootloader, Stock ROM on this unit).

Cheers,

Kermee
[Nexus One General] creepinshadow:
so i guess it's carrier unrelated..

but something's wrong there :)

would you mind posting your incident here kermee?

[Nexus One General] altarity:
My Alarm did go off. I have my alarm set for 6am MST (M-F). I'm on Cyanogen 5.0.3.1.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
My alarm went off at 06:50 (GMT) as per usual.
[Nexus One General] rjhay22:
Mine worked the way it was supposed to, who needs alarm if internal alarm us as good as that? LOL.
[Nexus One General] malicious85:
all stock nexus, alarm went off at its normal time today
[Nexus One General] zitseng:
I've alarm set for Mon-Fri, it worked fine for me...
[Nexus One General] ralexand:
May be a shot in the dark, but if you're using a task killer be sure to have 'clock' excluded. Being that your alarms usually go off this is unlikely, but possible.

FWIW my alarm went off as scheduled at 745 EST
[Nexus One General] Mi|enko:
I have a weekday profile and a weekend profile. Alarm went off today at 7:30 per my weekday profile. No problems. Running Cy's latest 5.0.4.1.

Windows Phone 7 on HD2 update coming in March?

A Tuesday Twitter update aims to assuage rumors floating around the net regarding an HTC HD2 handset allegedly running the recently announced Windows Phone 7. Believed to originate from Microsoft itself, the Twitter update hints that more information on the handset running on the new OS may arrive sometime in March. WP7 will bring many upgrades compared to its predecessor, WM6.5, including multi-touch support and a Zune-like interface, among many other more modest improvements.

HTC had said last year that the HD2 is its only handset that will qualify for upgrading to the next-generation Windows Mobile operating system. This is likely due to its fast 1GHz CPU and high resolution capacitive touchscreen, both of which are necessary to meet Microsoft's requirements. Any updates won't appear until closer to the end of the year.

- - - - - - - -

i want the Windows 7 =)

damn ... i want it so much )
[HD2 General] Archer:
Yawn.

There will "apparently" be an "official" message from HTC that is "allegedly" a response to many questions about WM7 being available on the HD2, when it comes out in December. Since HTC have said nothing more than "we're making an announcement in March", it could be anything to do with anything and I think we should just all speculate and assume that the HD2 will have WM7 in March. Ah mate - you beat me to it.

Incidentally, you mention "Microsoft's requirements". You've never read them - ever. They've not been released. There are rumours all over the internet that are as believable as "fake moon landings" and Bush planning 911.
[HD2 General] Moandal:
It's this simple. A WP7S phone must have 3 and only 3 buttons. Any phone with more or less than 3 does not qualify as a WP7S phone and so will never get an official WP7S software upgrade.

Count the buttons on the HD2.
[HD2 General] lude219:
I have a leaked WM7 beta rom on my HD2. Using it right now....who wants a dump of this uber rom?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
lol, you wish
[HD2 General] Archer:
Booooooring. Mate - d'you want a copy of WM9 off of my HD3?
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
if you have it post it or make a video
[HD2 General] Archer:
lol :)
[HD2 General] pedroxxx:
Put a sticker on 2 buttons with note "don't touch this" and HD2 will not have more or less than 3 buttons :) How simple it that :)

Two buttons will not be used by firmware, that's all. Another point is if the update will be delivered :) There are so many rumors, let's wait till the end of the month and we will know for sure :)
[HD2 General] lude219:
I will..I can't post anything until HTC or MS announces it for the HD2 in a few weeks :) A guy in-the-know told me that it'll come out this summer!! OMGZORZ!!:D

stay tuned guys,

xoxoxoxo
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
why you will wait ( and it will come out this summer for what )
[HD2 General] lude219:
Because i'm not supposed to spoil it until after they've announced it, or else ill be in deep doo doo :(

You'll find more copies of WM7 coming out this summer!1 Yup you heard it here first!!
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
finally do you think we will get it official
[HD2 General] Archer:
No. We will not. I don't think this.
[HD2 General] XDA mark:
Not true? The LG device shown on the Engadget show last Saturday had the 3 required buttons + a camera button, volume control buttons and a power button.

The requirement is to have AT LEAST these 3 buttons: Back, Windows (home, whatever) and Search. You can add whatever you want to that.

[HD2 General] mazzarin:
Ha, I figure you're trolling, but you're not that far away from me. Excuse to swing by OC if you will :) Let me stop by and demand proof/obtain WP7 :P
[HD2 General] aethelbert:
Lucky lucky Lude :P.

As for the the button debacle, I'd like to think it it 'at least 3 buttons' (being start, back and search) but it is probably 'only 3 front facing buttons'. This is to probably give all Windows Phones a distinctive, unified look.
[HD2 General] un1ucky:
Rumors or not winmo7 will reach hd2.
[HD2 General] cyberkid2002:
some interesting news here

Doesn't look like it will be coming officially then

I noticed that on Fresh1.1 that I am running that Weather is still left on here...I don't plan on using it so is it ok for me to complete remove weather and it's widgets? Just wanted to ask because on fresh he removed a lot of stuff and since this wasn't removed I am thinking there is a reason behind it...

Will I get any FC's or anything like that?

Thanks much,

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
Do a nandroid backup and try it...only way to find out...

yes, you won't get any fc's or anything.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seraph321:
So there are a number of Android-based tablets on the horizon. These are presumably envisioned as intermediate devices to fill a niche between the smartphone and laptop, similar to the iPad. I'm not starting a thread to debate whether this niche exists, or the design of any specific device, but rather on how well Android and its apps can adapt to being used across multiple devices by the same user.

For me, when I try to envision a tablet in my life, I find it difficult to think of things that it could do but my phone (a Nexus One) can't. I think the point is a tablet doesn't really do new things, but it does them slightly better because of a larger screen. The thing is, I will likely want to switch back and forth between my phone and tablet depending on my real-world context, and I will generally want the state of those applications to stay in sync.

Take reading an ebook, for example. I will still want to read on my phone sometimes, when I just have a minute to spare and don't have the tablet with me, but when I sit down to a more lengthy reading session, I want the tablet to remember where I am in the book. This should be automatic. Similarly, any games I play should have my progress saved, and my bookmarks/history/etc should be synced too. The simple fact is, the additional value of a tablet seems so small, that if I have to put up another non-synced device in my life, it won't even be worth bothering. I'll just keep using the smaller screen of my phone.

Now, of course there are already things that DO sync. Email, calendar, contacts, etc. But those are distinct things with custom implementations specific to that type of data. Certainly every app developer could add a web service that syncs their app data, but why make everyone do that individually. Does anyone know of any plans to create a generalized Android app sync solution? (let me know if there's something out there and I missed it) This seems like something google would want to build at the OS level, but I haven't heard of anything like it.

Thoughts?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spuniun:
I just came across this post after running up against this problem in the real world. Just received my Notion Ink Adam and quickly started looking for a solution to sync things like my eBook placement and game save-state between my Nexus One and the tablet. Titanium Media Sync looked promising but as the product description indicates, it is only capable of one-way synchronization. This means you would have to manually run the sync task each time you started using one device or the other. Perhaps something that could be achieved with tasker and some scripting, but that's more management overhead than anyone would want.

I wish I was better at software development cause this is not a solution that could be tackled with the app inventor.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alostpacket:
This is going to be a big shakeup for awhile... SugarSync, Dropbox, Bump, Hoccer, Titanium, Listables/BlueMuze (my apps), Amazon cloud sync, Google Books -- there are 100 solutions coming from different directions and for different puposes.

Then there will be video (which is even more insanely competitive) as everyone trys various DRM, cloud hosting and streaming. Then you have the carriers sitting in the middle putting data caps on stuff wondering if they can get a slice of the pie. Roku, SlingBox, Tivo, Boxee, TimeWarner, Viacom, NBC-Comcast, Verizion, Cablevision, ATT, Apple, --- SO MANY companies in this market.

This is partly why I created my apps, so that people could send data without the cloud sync ideology/methodology forced on them. But that's sort of tangential to the conversation, and specific for types of media as you said above.

Anyways, I think the competition will be good mostly. But we'll have to be careful to reward those who dont try to restrict usage arbitrarily. And be sure to punish those that stand in the way.

Also with regards to programming sync oneself, beware that it's one of those things that's deceptively simple sounding until you try and work out the actual code/details of how to do it. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigtexan99:
We need this now more than ever!

Any new products out there that can help me synch my Captivate with my Color Nook?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cingall:
I can't agree with you more. I came to the same conclusion when I was looking at tablets.

However there are certain things I don't use right now because my battery temp will exceed 103°F when I'm using them (music apps, navigation, etc.) Phone is overclocked to 844 MHz so that obviously plays into the battery life, but if I had a tablet I could use those apps on the tablet to conserve my phone battery; currently my phone battery won't last more than a day :^(

There's also the possibility that because tablets would be more powerful than my MyTouch 3G Slide that I could scale back my phone CPU and use certain things on the tablet.

I'm holding off on tablets right now, I want to see where they go with the capabilities first before I jump on board.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigtexan99:
You said "I'm holding off on tablets right now". If you want to get your feet wet on the cheap, pick up a Color Nook of Craigslist. I've bought 2 now for $170 each.

At that price, who cares where the tablet market goes. When something comes along you like better, buy it, and give the Color Nook to someone as a gift.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] initialjdg:
I'm pretty confident the community will make a tablet more than worth owning. Even without the source code the xoom has been pretty handy. But from the first day of ownership I was wondering why it wasn't built in to have the phone and tab sync up. Even something more basic like chrome to phone for the phone to tab would be nice.

Just thinking out loud mostly.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fit333:
My favorite tab sync mod,

Grab Google voice and grooveIP and have texts and voice calls come to the tab at the same time as the phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rootstonian:
Great topic! As a developer and Droid X owner, I've been debating about getting a tablet, but my tablet would be an iPad so I can cross-platform develop.

Still, a very valid issue as to iPhone/iPad or Droid/Xoom synching. Haven't given it much thought, but the OP brings up some valid points.

If you have an e-book, grocery list manager and any other number of apps, *physical* synching would be a PITA in my opinion. I think some cloud-based solution like DropBox would be the best solution.

How this gets implemented is surely open to debate. :-)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jesusice:
I haven't tried it yet but there's an app on the market called SyncIt Beta:

https://market.android.com/details?id=jug6ernaut.net.syncit

It's supposed to be able to sync your app data across multiple devices.

^ Shift Faced
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plunkstah:
I am sorry for bringing back a dead thread, however this is still something i am in looking for. I have a nexus S and a toshiba thrive tablet. As opposed to cloud based or something along those apps, i think an even easier solutions would be a device direct streaming type service so to speak. Have the devices communicate directly with each other over wifi or bluetooth. I mean to be perfectly honest, if i use it on the road, my phone is with me anyway so bluetooth is perfectly acceptable. and when i am at home, both are connected to wifi even if they aren't close enough for bluetooth. That would remedy the need of a cloud based service, and the issue of data privacy. As long as the data gets synced locally to the device, i should be able to break the sync and still continue to operate, then when the 2 devices are reconnected to each other they can just update the changes. I am not a developer, so i apologize if these requests seem monumental. However i was going to make the change to webOS because it natively had support for these features, which were immensely helpful. Until webOS sort of fell off the grid obviously (even though it was never really on it to begin with)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aujbman:
Old thread. New Idea.

I came across this thread while searching for a solution to my problem. Thought it appropriate to post here.

Does anyone know of any virtual assistant apps or anything of that sort that will sync with other versions of the app on other devices?

For example, I have two android devices. I want to be able to talk to one and set a reminder at the house, and have the reminder come to a different device i have on me elsewhere.

So far the only way I can come up with to do this is to set a reminder through Google Calendar but was wondering if there was any other less clunky alternatives.

I have blinking orange (amber) and green lights. They alternate...

What does this mean?

Thanks
[HD2 General] Archer:
I think, from what I've seen on similar posts, that it means your battery is knackered. You may want to try a replacement, but if you do, get a real one and not a cheap copy. You'll regret the cheap copy.
[HD2 General] ez2remember:
Thanks.

The battery still seems to work as norm i.e. slowly dieing.

I just ordered a genuine one. I hope it all works out okay and it's not my phone that is the problem.
[HD2 General] Archer:
There've been a few posts of a similar problem, and they've all turned out to be the battery not charging. Obviously, I'm not saying that's what's wrong this time, but it has been every other.

if i set up a bunch of stuff to download, then reboot the phone, they start downloading.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohspaceman:
I've had this problem before, with downloads stalling and never starting.

Possible fixes:

-Open up Gtalk and log in. Sounds weird but I've heard reports of it working

-Try booting into recovery, going into the terminal, and running the fix_permissions.sh script (alternately, if you're running Amon_RA's recovery at least, there should be an option in the recovery menu for 'fix APK UID mismatches' - try this as well)

Last time I had this problem I ran fix_permissions and all was well :)

I reboot the phone and they just start by themselves.
