Dazzle is a free but slightly less comprehensive version of Extended Controls. For you, OP, it is perfectly suitable as it does have the sync on-off switch option. Just make a 1x1 widget and choose only Sync.

Description:

Here are some screenshots http://www.appbrain.com/app/org.hermit.dazzle
[Android Apps and Games] StDevious:
that looks like what I need, but I don't think it does what I need to do.

What I'm looking for, I'll try to explain in the following scenario.

1. I have mobile data turned off to save power with the mobile data that came with sense on my HTC Eris.

2. I want to hit this widget, and what it should do is turn on the mobile data long enough to refresh the HTC weather widget, twitter, facebook and other widgets that depend on internet. After that it should turn the mobile data back off.
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
So basically you just need a widget to turn mobile data on/off. You could look into JuiceDefender/UltimateJuice. While it might be an excessively complicated workaround, it does have a widget to turn mobile data on/off (I believe it requires root). The free version has a fixed on/off interval (1 min on for every 15 min off) but I think the pay one (UltimateJuice) will let you do everything manually (for ex, n minutes on for every m minutes off, where n and m are user specified amount of minutes). The free one does have the manual control widget though. I know this sounds complicated, but just try it for yourself lol

Edit: I got it, you can do it completely manually with the free version.

After you initially get it set up, change it to advanced view. Then, disable everything so that every field is grayed and says "Do nothing." Now, the mobile data can be completely controlled by the widget once you add it. The widget is called "Toggle mobile data."

I really think this app is what you're looking for.

After reading Electzik's fantastic tutorial on how to personalize the internet thumbnails, I decided to edit some of my own.

And then I got thinking...have you made any? Care to share?

Attached are the 10 I am using now...(if you like them but don't like the Anastasia look, lemme know and I will change it up...)

List: boingboing, fark, google calendar, leo, leo usa, mdcalc, NEJM, plime, total bili and xda WM general

Hope to see what others can do!

Cheers.

Hi I think the best way to do is to replace the manila files for the frame. Try this
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jsmccabe78:
thanks, mate!

think i started this before i realized how to edit manila!

will look very complete with my people's tab mod.

cheers.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Halle:
This is cool. I once tried this myself, but the Internet Tab takes way to long to load (2-3 secs), even with defaul thumbs created by opera. So, I don't use it really. :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jsmccabe78:
sam...

your manila file was off a bit (ran over). but thanks for the inspiration!

so i just redid it:

Hey I just flashed Baked Snacks 9.7 Kernel 3 and my boot sound isn't working anymore.

The audio is there in all three folders and my volume is up but it still isn't playing. Now this normally wouldn't be a big problem but I would like to add in different boot screens with different audio so if anyone could just help me diagnose the problem that would be really great.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJDuckett:
Check in the Custom/resource/ folder and make sure the mp3 is still there at all.

Also, are you using a custom boot animation? If so, make sure the desc.txt file is properly written, because if not, it won't let sound play.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pelvis92:
The sound is in the file and how should the desc.txt be written?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJDuckett:
I **believe** that the way to make sure the sound is enabled in the desc.txt is by makin sure that it ends with the animation folder's name and not numbers or anything.

Also, make sure that there's a linebreak at the bottom of the writing. Just go to the end of the text and press enter once, and then save it.

Anyone notice that it looks like the hardware for the front camera is there on the vibrant? Any chance that could be activated and used with a new rom? :)
[Vibrant General] WilliamStern:
Lol, it's not a FFC.
[Vibrant General] spiz516:
Apparently you skipped over the stickied thread at the top that says "Read Before Posting" ...this has nothing to do with development.

But to answer your question, that isn't a camera. It's a proximity and light sensor.
[Vibrant General] psyko-m1:
When I first looked at my phone out of the box, I was REALLY excited about that as well.

Than my brain kicked in out of my geek coma I was in and realized that it was just sensors.

Reports and reviews from overseas basically say the FFC is basically a POS and really never gets used much for anything.

Basically it's about as powerful as a gameboy camera with ****ty resolution.

I don't miss it.

Haha better yet gold so its balling out of control. but where are all the rom files i just got rid of my hero and used to flash that thing everyday people need to step it up and get workng on some roms so i can test them and see whats good or bad with them.
[Vibrant General] rhcp011235:
From what i am told. The little thing on the front of the phone is a proximety sensor and something else. I always thought it was the cam. and we just had to enable it :)

but, I guess thats not the case.
[Vibrant General] bestwebs:
HI,

Unfortunately, the front camera does not exist on the vibrant or captivate.

The camera hole would be located to the right of the speaker slit.

There is no hole there.

Probably left out to reduce costs.

It is only on the euro models.

Well I noticed that in the samsung widgets that it can use them, but can it run 3rd party scrollable widgets?
[Vibrant General] junkdruggler:
If not LauncherPro+ has support for it... I dont think ADW does....
[Vibrant General] gravis86:
Both Launcher Pro and ADW Launcher support scrollable widgets.
[Vibrant General] GorgiGR:
Can someone please specify what defines a "scrollable widget" ? Many HTC widgets can be scrolled (i.e. Friendstream), however Stock HTC Launcher is from what i read labelled as "scrollable widgets" incompatible...
[Vibrant General] yosup:
Scrollable Widgets are those where the window/frame stays static while you can "scroll" by gesturing up or down - ie. think of RSS, news, calendar, messenger widgets.

If "incompatible," you wouldn't be able to scroll in the widget - ie. the entire window/frame would remain static.

ADW and Launcher Pro support it. On ICS, Apex and Nova do as well. I'm sure there are plenty others.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DraginMagik:
today i started experiencing the inability to turn off the screen by pressing the power button.

when i 'short press' the power button nothing happens.

when i 'long press' the power button i get the expected menu.

after the screen turns off (by itself)..the pwr button does turn the screen on. (as expected)

i would like to be able to 'short press' to turn off the screen. no idea what i did. my nandroid is almost as new as i'd like it be, i'm more curious how i did it.

the only new apps were:

SwitchPro Widget

autostarts (has been removed0

antennas (has been removed)

Sensorly Map Viewer (has been removed)

i have rebooted numerous times

i have gone thru all settings i can think of

screen is set to auto-off after 30sec

it's like something has simply turned off that function.

any ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vbyt:
try rebooting?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neckface:
Is it only with that ROM you're experiencing this with?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkManX4lf:
If you actually read his post he said he has already reboot many times. Anyway op, did this happen right after you flashed the Rom? Or did it happen after sometime?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DraginMagik:
i think it was an app that caused it. it was not timed near a fresh ROM install. i've been on fresh 1.0.1 for several days. i finally reverted back to my nandroid from last week and its ok again.

at first i thought it was screebl but pretty sure its not that. it was odd because i uninstalled the apps that i had installed after the nandroid and that did not 'undo the change'. if i figure out which app caused it i'll update this thread...i still suspect the apps listed in first thread.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] INeedYourHelp:
When looking for my first android phone, I kept reading how documents to go was the best office app for android.

I've never even heard of the Thinkfree Office app that comes with the SGS. So, does anyone have any experience as to which one is better?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] trancelated:
Think Free Office is the only productivity suite i've ever used on any android.

I think I wont move away from that suite that easily because I feel its the best suite ever created.

I have tried and tested DOC/PDF/XLS files and the experience was awesome! 10/10!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] dan 6a:
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-qo-android-am3-jjzxj.aspx

This looks like a contender for sure!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] oswade:
Thinkfree office has been really good in my limited use. I can't imagine documents to go being much better :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] fntms:
Thinkfree is the fastest pdf viewer (faster than the Adobe one, with better reflow), and the xls viewer is also the best I've seen (it can work with recursive iterations within formulas, which quickoffice cannot).

Nice to have it thanks to the SGS...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Alpha Trion:
In purchasing my SGS, ThinkFree has been perhaps the biggest (nice) surprise. In viewing word docs alone it displays all text, fonts, bold, margins tabs etc etc very well. can view & save in docx file types & the degree of editing caperbilities I've found to be very thorough.

Still can't beleive this program comes free with the phone. It really is excellent. Haven't fully tried excell or powerpoint docs yet but certainly the word is second to none.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] oswade:
I tried out some of the other office apps yesterday (documents to go, quickoffice etc), but came away with the impression that thinkfree was still the most functional and well rounded of the lot.

Much kudos to samsung and thinkfree for providing this app to us!!! :D

EDIT: Actually, I just tried quickoffice 3. I'd say it's pretty much on par with thinkfree, except thinkfree can edit ppt and quickoffice can't afaik.

hey, why is it when i zoom pdf files, the texts are blur

before it's finished the progress, the texts were fine but when the progress was done, it's blur.

ps: it's only happen when i'm viewing a map pdf files, (adobe reader in pc works well but not in thinkfree)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] patchirl:
Slightly off topic, but is it possible to have 'talk and type' style input on any of the office apps?

It would be cool to work on documents on the go without typing.

Does anybody else have the same problem while reading PDF in Reading view that letters are really small even at the highest zoom level (100%) ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] TMReuffurth:
For reading PDF Files i think Adobe Reader is much better than ThinkFree Office. In Adobe reader i can easely open a Map with 76MB and scroll and zoom very fast. ThinkFree Office takes about 2 minutes just to open the File and even in this case it´s almost impossible to scroll or zoom in the map.

For Office Documents it´s very fast and stable but for reading big PDF Files i recommend Adobe Reader.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Mahagon Coral:
Am I the only one who is greatly disappointed by this application?

Apart from the simple fact that the pdf viewer clears the viewed pages out of the memory even when just scrolling down a bit, or the fact that the pdf viewer is awfully slow and just doesn't load all pages (on my end it just loads one or two visible pages and lags when scrolling to a non-loaded one), it takes an awful long time to start the different components.

Also, copy and paste function was made as difficult as possible, I still find myself unable to select and copy the text on my own rather than picking one of the "selection presets", which take a few too many clicks to reach for my taste....

And maybe it's just me, but the powerpoint editor completely kills my slide layout. On windows mobile I didn't have so extremely wrong renderings.

Another quite stupid limitation is the lack of different file formats to save inside the word app (only docx, seriously?!).

This app really makes me wish my old Touch Pro2 wasn't broken...

About comparisons... I still wait for documents to go 3.0 to release.

Edit: granted, things like bad pdf reader go certainly for all pdf readers out there atm.

Problems with Thinkfree Office

Hi,

Thinkfree office looks great in the begining. but there are some basic issues I dont know where I am going wrong:

1. Throws exception when trying to open a password protected docx

2. Sometimes fails to open attachment files which opens perfectly on my laptop

Anybody knows something about it?

Does ThinkFree support pinch zoom and text reflow on the Desire? I have tested it on a Galaxy and it works AOK but I have heard that some apps work differently on some phones, and I just want to make sure that it works the same way on the Desire before I buy one.

Thanks all!

Hi!

I had a "classic" android ROM, and it had ThinkFree office application.

I installed a new Rom (InDroid 5.1), and it has no TF O.

Can anybody give me a link, where I can find it? I read two books with the help of TF O, and reading is much more difficult with Adobe reader, or Polaris office.

Thanks all!

I have been a loyal HTC owner since 07 and a member here since 08 (i believe, lol). As you all can see I rarely post anything. I do however have a good reason... Everybody says search before you ask. So i did and always find the answer, every time. Sometimes it takes a bit of work but I find the answer.

It is just now that I started posting because I believe I graduated from super Noob to quasi Noob. I have flashed, installed, bricked, recovered bricked, and tweeked all my phones and finely believe that I have something to contribute.

Anyways I started this thread to simply say Thank You...

Thank you to all the members, moderators, developers, cooks, and everybody else. It is because of everybody here that we are able to take cutting edge and bend it to out will. It is because of you all that we are able to reflect who we are though electronic style, much like a hot rod designer or fashion designer.

You are right though. Just put a little effort into searching and you will find the answer.

Now on to the serious question... How do I install Android on my hd2? :P
[General Topics] Bountyhunter1000:
Hay... it was my first flash ever and something went wrong, LOL. I recovered it. I guess that does not count at bricking does it???

The easy way? Drop t-mobile and get sprint with an EVO or Verizon with the incredible. :p Other then that... Or, gotta wait till some super phone Einstein dude\dudet takes the core of the android port for the TP2 and adapts its to the HD2. Least I think it can happen like that.:confused:

Huh? It just occurred to me we have the same... issue. I want the EVO but DO NOT like android. I use my phone for business. I own my own repo company and I'm always working with PDF's, word, excel, e-mail, ect. I know android does SOME of these but I need all of them no questions asked. It should be a choice. I think when you buy a smart phone (especially HTC) you should have the choice of android or WM. Don't cha think? However, I guess that's like asking for you cake and eating it too. :(

When I purchased my phone in June, the Sprint Store (Ocoee) said that they expected 4G by the end of June. So, I purchased the phone. I was able to connect 4G from day one but, like everyone else, was unable to obtain an IP address.

Since it is now the end of July and there still isn't a way to obtain an IP address, I contacted the store again. They said that there are birds nests at the top of the towers and that is stopping them from getting the upgrade completed.

All I have to say is, "Now I have heard it ALL!". Never believe your Sprint stores. They are all full of s**t!

I heard that the deal fell through. There hasn't been any word of it really since January when the rumor came out. So no way to say for sure.
