Thanks for the suggestion. I've installed the app and played around with it a bit. A few things noted:

- Doesn't integrated with Pure Calendar Widget (?).

- The widgets are not customisble (colour, etc).

- A very basic Task application. I currently use Astrid for this and it works well.

- Integration with existing calendar other than Google is very limited (important when it comes to sync'ing).

Definitely better than the HTC Sense Calendar in terms of interface and certain features.

I guess, just like anything else, when you're used to using something that almost does everything (Pocket Informant) any else will just not do :p
[Android Apps and Games] reedsw:
Thanks for the tip on Jorte. Wish it had a more interesting widget layout but other than that it looks to be what I can live with. Smooth Calendars 3 even outlook was bad considering I hold baseball games on my calendar.
[Android Apps and Games] gobak:
Widgets in Jorte are totally customizable... infinite possibilities of recolouring. To get into settings you must choose a scheme first, then you can edit it. It is a kind of minigame first but you will quickly get it right.
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
I think I found what you're talking about: choose a style, then customize. But the only things I saw adjustable for the widget were 2 things, one of which was the widget border color. I just want to enlarge the text on the widget! IMO it's way too small.
[Android Apps and Games] marvin02:
I have three issues with Jorte as a replacement for google calendar.

The text in the widgets needs to be adjustable.

If you copy your existing calendar(s) from google you can not edit the events

It does not import ics files
[Android Apps and Games] sh500:
Yep, agreed with many of the issues raised. We need the best bits from all existing apps rolled into one and then just a few features thrown in for good measure.

Many argue that the Android is not a 'business phone' (hence the basic functionality) and also not have features such as proxy settings. I totally disagree with that reason, many 'business' functions seem quite simple to implement and the OS is more than capable. Oh sync'ing is another one where WM wins (!)
[Android Apps and Games] DatacomGuy:
I need a better calendar app too. My needs are better notification options. Ability to change length of snooze for an eventis one feature I need.. and to be able to snooze specific notifications while being able to dismiss others..

Needs to be more blackberry like.

Dear Members,

It's a wierd thought but can WP7 be installed on NexusOne. I would live to test out the WP7, but i have the N1 unit.

Any thoughts ?

[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
Ask again in a half year.

... but it's the correct CPU architecture (Snapdragon) iirc.
[Windows Phone 7 General] daniel-t:
I doubt it would be possible...

There are no drivers for it, and I dont think it meets the minimum spec for WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] samvaid:
That's what i think, its the same processor, i dunno the Jargin for the detailed tech comparison, but from the looks of it, it shoudl be do-able, but is it worth the effort ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
Depends how much effort is required. To get started someone need to buy a WP7 phone, which isn't possible for another 3 months. (Or someone from Redmond to leak one).

Ask again in a half year.
[Windows Phone 7 General] OndraSter:
You bought Android device that has Android bootloader and Android radio and what not hoping you would run WindowsCE base on it? Are you serious? Chance of getting WP7 or any WinCE kernel running on this (without any emulation or software like haret, even that would be hard to boot CE6 (I prefer "CE6.5" :) ) kernel) is like... Zero. Only HD2 (mostly TMOUS version due to 1GB ROM) has way bigger chance of getting unofficial update (since our top CE platform expert here aka DaG is working on it).
[Windows Phone 7 General] lordcanti86:
Maybe, depending on the driver coding for the N1 when compared to shipping HTC WP7 devices.

Hello.

Can I install the stock Eclair on my SGS?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] unfnknblvbl:
Hi.

First of all, you should post general questions like this one in the general forum.

Secondly, if you want to take the time to compile the AOSP with the Samsung drivers, there certainly appears to be nothing stopping you. Nobody's done it that I know of though (not to say I wouldn't like to see that happen)... but give it time. It's only a new device.

Hi all.

I find quite often I end up missing calls because the volume has accidentally dropped.

is there any way or app to lock it and ignore the button presses, and maybe re-assing to something else?

thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] xd4d3v:
responding to myself here.

I found volume locker in the market which does that.

However, it'd be nice to be able to remap the buttons.

any ideas where to get an app for that?
[XPERIA X10 General] metcard:
I hate that feature on the X10.

Who the hell though it would be a good idea to have those buttons control the ringer volume at all times?

I have never required to toggle the volume of the ringer so often that I needed hardware keys for it. Just set it once and forget.

Sometimes I'm in the media player and because a video or song isn't playing I will accidentally turn the ringer volume up or down. :mad:

I would love to have those buttons bring up the phone's status when pressed on the standby screen ala Sony Ericsson Dumb phones.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] culturelol:
Hi!

I feel the stock Samsung keyboard has potential but the word correction just seems meh (could be due to danish dictionary).

I'd like to see a comparison of the keyboards and what people feel about each one.

Swiftkey

Samsung keyboard (multi touch)

Swype (drawing type keyboard)

HTC_IME (the xda one with online kitchen)

Handcent

Droid X (multi touch)

Currently i feel the HTC_IME is best for me atleast, since it supports danish and it has some added features (XDA). It's slower than the Samsung Keyboard though, probably the multi touch making Samsung faster. I'd like to try Swype or SwiftKey, but danish support seems a while off. Handcent i haven't tried, but as far as i remember it looks alot like the HTC_IME one?

If none of them improves soon, i guess i'll try to code one myself. Swiftkey prediction with multi touch would be pretty awesome :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Intratech:
I love the vlingo keyboard, it pwns all the others I've tried.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] emelie:
text using profile: mails/notes/todos/sms, typing rather fast, languages: german & english

HTC_IME, Handcent (is that built into the app?), Vlingo - haven't tried those

Swype

- unique feature: swipe to type

- my favourite; i nearly can type as fast as i can on a real keyboard, which is quite fast ;)​

Samsung keyboard (multi touch)

- unique feature: none that i know of

- nice, seems to be a lookalike from the iphone keyboard; works good, just 2 points at once though

- if i want to use multitouch typing while wanting to type as fast as i can i always switch over to this one:​

Droid X (multi touch)

- unique feature: multitouch with more than 2 points

- IMHO best multi touch keyboard out there​

Swiftkey

- unique feature: text prediction

- useful: using several languages simultaneously (HUGE benefit for me! TouchPal does this as well)

- just installed it while it's in beta, can't say much about it

- using it for just a couple of minutes doesn't reveal much about the real benefit of this keyboard (text prediction)

- looks amazing, i'll definitely use this regularly to see where it goes!​

ThickButtons

- unique feature: keyboard-buttons get enlarged when being predicted by the dictionary as possibly the next letter in the current word

- tried this for a couple of text messages, need more time for a thorough test

- runs stable but a bit slow​

TouchPal

- seems to be a very good chinese input keyboard, although i'm far from able to confirm that ;)

- useful: using several languages simultaneously (like Swiftkey)

- just testing this for a couple of minutes, seems to be very good!
​

my wishes :

Swype should implement multi touch support & easy language switch while simultaneously using he built in keyboard - then it's the only keyboard i'll ever need

Swiftkey should come out of beta as soon as it's ready and be as cheap as possible ;)

UPDATE

added Swiftkey & TouchPal
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Robin.B:
Er really? It's identical to the default Android keyboard, doesn't support multi-touch.

So far, I think the HTC keyboard would rock with multi-touch, but without it it just cannot keep up with fast typing, rendering it useless!

Advantages of default Samsung Keyboard:

- Multi-touch

- Decent text prediction

- Arrow keys appear when you long-press on symbols (big plus)

Disadvantages:

- You can't capitalise random letters in a word!!! (You can't write something like McDonald's for example, because pressing shift will either capitalise ALL letters in the word or the first letter only. This is also painful when you have to type in a username for some app but the text field has prediction enabled.)

- The numbers/symbols layout is dreadful! Seriously, why is the colon on the 2nd page? And why does the last used page open instead of the first one when you press symbols?

Advantages of Droid X keyboard:

- Better multi-touch than Samsung (shift + many keys is possible)

- Much better symbols layout

Disadvantages:

-Auto-capitalisation doesn't work

- No control of the dictionary! And the dictionary has random incorrect words in it like ob and od and im which get substituted when you make a typing mistake.

I'm using the Droid X keyboard right now but desperately looking for something with better dictionary control
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] INeedYourHelp:
Do any of these keyboards have the ability for speech-to-text like the nexus one? I don't see the speaker icon on the samsung keyboards.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Robin.B:
Droid X one does :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Intratech:
Vlingo does and I can type fast on it without worrying about it missing my letters and the auto correction is good on it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Intratech:
I don't care about multi touch just about typing fast and accurately.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] gravis86:
I like the standard Android keyboard, if only it had multi-touch.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] copo:
The Samsung keyboard is capable for multi touch? Even if it does the multi touch implementation doesn't seems to her close to the one of Droid X, at least I can't feel it. Also the ptedicion and correction doesn't works well. I'm using an IME called CEDIME which I need the Chinese input, the English keyboard included us even better than the Samsung one.

The Droid X multi touch keyboard works well but the prediction will need some improvement, although by using it more you can add more words to it's dictionary.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] sany:
Is Multi-tasking currently supported in 2.1? I get this doubt because everytime I open a new application the previous goes hidden. This apparently takes up or keeps eating the resources in the background.

Instead, if 2.2 (froyo) comes up with something like the iPhone 4 handles it will be simply superb. I know even now there are add ins from the market, still they are not easy and friendly as iPhone 4 handles multi-tasking - where we can simply scroll through the application and open or close or minimise the different applications that are already open.

Please someone confirm this...or am I missing something until android 2.2 comes out.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vijaykanth:
Your right... whenever I am running an application and I press the menu button then start another application, I can see the old application running in the Services (or background).

When I quit the new application and go back to the former app, it shows me where I left off... Now, this is "technically" multi-tasking but of the sucky kind... :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bayerischbeer:
To minimize just press the homebutten. To switch between the last 6 task just press the homebuton for about 1 second.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
In 2.1, you still long press the home key to show the most recently run applications. This is not necessary the running application. You could have manually closed an application but it will still be shown. Similarly, you could have application actually running and yet not shown there.

Another point to be aware is that although long press of home key brings up the most recently used application and allows you to jump to them, there is no facility to force close an application from there; unlike in iOS4, where on the multitasking application dock, you can force close it, as well as jumping to that application.

Another key difference between the two is that in Android 2.1, only the last 6 used applications are shown, although most of the time, I find 20+ applications running, often started by themselves mysteriously (that's another story though). So, for the running application not listed as one of the six, you can't jump to them via long pressing home. Instead, you have to go back to the desktop, find your application, and launch the application in order to switch to them.

So yah, 2.1 is a little "backward" still compared to iOS4. Hopefully 2.2 improves on this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] maverickzero:
As far as I know the multitasking from android is better than the one in iOS4. Multitasking is not complete on iOS4, there are some applications that you are not available to use as multitasking application.

http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/04/multitasking-android-way.html

Here is the link to why and how the android multitasking works.

http://www.pcworld.com/article/199528/multitasking_with_ios_4_is_horrible_apple_blew_it.html

Here an article of PCWORLD giving negative feedback about iOS4 multitasking
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sany:
..now that's one place where we look ancient than iOS4, are there any words that this will be improved in 2.2?

Instead it could have just been without multi-tasking so when we start a new app the previous one to get closed atleast that saves on the RAM. I hate iPhones but just this feature makes me disturbed why android hasn't dones this yet as this is so very basic.

I know the third part app in the adroid market does this but not as elegant as the iphone 4 handles this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
Actually, the way iOS4 handles it is not even half as elegant as the way jailbroken phones do it. It is even better to disable iOS4 task switcher and use Cydia task switchers (there are 5 or 6 different method, you pick the one that you like most). If I'm the developer at Google, I'd copy jailbroken iPhone's switcher called the Circuitous. With it, you can swipe the task bar left or right to go to the previous or next active application!!! You can also double press the home key for example to show a list of task actually running (rather than most recently launched applications). You press home key to truly quite the application, and long press to make it run in the background while in both case show the desktop.

I personally don't like the task switcher in iOS4. It does not let me force close the application with the same act of quiting it. Instead, one has to bring up the task list and remove it there in order to force close. This is not productive. Also, very often I toggle betwen two or three application, and I find swiping the taskbar to be a lot more fun and productive.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Chrilleee:
How do I know if there's programs running in the background or not?

And how do I shut down programs where I can't find any Quit button (mostly of the programs I think is like this).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
Samsung's stock widget will tell you if anything is "running" other things will be idling that the widget may or may not pick up on. You can pick up a 3rd party task killer to see more details.

3rd party task killers would be one way to quit the programs after closing. The way Android operates, if you hit the "back" button out of your program it quits running but will stay in memory if there is available room in your memory.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] darnap:
Actually the Android 'idea' is that you don't close applications. Android will keep applications around in case you want to go back, and only close them when memory is needed. Before closing them outright it will try to close secondary activities and recover memory elsewhere, so that closing an app is the last resort.

Android applications are explicitly organized in autonomous activities so that they can be stopped independently.

Keep in mind that the fact that an application is 'in background' does not mean that it is actually doing something, and empty memory does you no good unless it's actually needed, so it might as well be used to keep an application loaded.

Only applications that stay active in background have a quit button, like IM clients for example. The others don't have it because ideally you don't need to close them. Of course when the system does need to free memory you might experience some delay as applications are closed.

On the iPhone OS there is a similar model, with the difference that applications don't have 'activities' that can be independently closed. In case of memory starvation the OS first asks applications to free some memory, if possible, then starts killing them outright, but it has no means to force applications to free memory.

I stopped using task killers and found that they are not that needed unless you really can't stand small delays now and then. I didn't find the iPhone multitasking any friendlier at all...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sany:
Is there anything similar to Circuitous available in the market for use.

thanks

S
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ivas75:
I really do not understand how people say that iOs 4 is better in multitasking than 2.1 android. I've used the "multitasking" feature of iPhone and it is for sure not multitasking. It behaves as it should only for native apps and I believe it will not finally work for every application of the appstore.

On the other hand, multitasking on android is better. Every app you choose to re-start comes at the state you left it. Not on the first screen. Of course there is a lot of room for development, but it actually is multitasking and not multitasking in quotes.

P.S. I kind of laugh with Jobs's enthusiasm for things that already exist in the market even for years (for example videocall). It is like they invented something revolutionary and actually there are many people who totally fall for all these...

Uneducated sheep...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
Damap,

In both iOS 4 and jailbroken iPhone running backgrounded, any activities other than the telephone application can be manually closed rather then left running in the background, in order to free up memory.

I don't know about the other Android phones but I find SGS unbearably slow, whether if I do not use task killer to manually kill off the application every now and then. Not sure how much of it is due to the way Android multitask though.
