Does anyone know how to get books that you can read on your android? What book readers are best to use etc? Where can I download books off the net for use of reading on the dhd? I particularly want Jonathan strouds the amulet of samarkand (the bartimaeous trilogy) thanks in advance
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slvrback:
One of the best readers is fbreader, free from the market, plenty if places to get books off the net
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grimbola:
Hi! i'm definitely no authority on the matter, but here's my experience so far:

firstly you'll have to get an ebook reader, If I remember correctly there's one already on the phone made by HTC (though I may have downloaded it from the market myself) it's just called Reader, and comes with a few books built in (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland etc.). I believe it's meant to be more of a portal to an online store where you can purchase more books. I've not tried it myself yet, but have heard you can add ebooks of a certain format (epub I believe) into a folder on your SD card (you have to name the folder Digital Editions if I remember correctly) and it'll find them and add them to your collection.

I also understand that there is an Android version of Amazon's Kindle software, but have no experience with it. It looks to be available here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/feature.html/ref=red_lnd_shrt_url?ie=UTF8&docId=1000423873

The other ebook reader I have downloaded (from the market) seems to have a good reputation is Aldiko. Again this comes with a couple of books built in, and again you can import your own epubs.

both seem quite usable.

When it comes to ebooks the seem to come in many formats - .lit, .epub, .html and .pdf to name the few that I know. These can be DRM protected, to prevent piracy / sharing. Also there is software available to create your own or convert one format to the other, I recently used Calibre on my PC which seemed to work well.

As to where you can get hold of the books, there is obviously the official channels - using the stores in Aldiko, Reader, or the Kindle app (I'm sure there are many more). Then there is the shadier, less legal way - if you wish to go down this route I would advise you to be careful and that google is your friend.

Good choice with the Jonathan Stroud books, they're great fun.

I hope that helps,

Good luck,

Grim.

For ya books, get aldiko then have a look at this website, www.drinkmalk.com, the Johnathan Stroud books you are after are on there, this is not a pirate books website
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wil-j:
I have loads of books in pdf and txt formats, any readers that support them? Adobe Reader ofcourse for pdf, but it,s not as user friendly as the readers...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grant Barker:
Yeah, I like Aldiko too. Although I originally wanted something as nice looking as the iPhone app. I intend to have an ebook reader section or page when I get around to it on that site and an Android User Interface section.

If anyone recommends any - I'll add them to the pages.

Official Aldiko link.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grant Barker:
I agree. The best Adobe Reader experience I had (as far as perfect scrolling was concerned) was with Windows Mobile 6.1. (WM 6.5 wasn't as good for some reason on my ROM/phone at the time.)

Even on the Desire HD, the Adobe Reader experience seems low par.

I too would be interested in a better and especially smoother Android .pdf reader.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bestevaer:
.Epub

Make the following folder on your HTC Desire HD: Digital Editions.

Make sure your Ebook files are .epub format.

Place the .epub files in the Digital Editions folder and after that you'll find them on your bookshelf of your Reader from HTC.

That simple
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slvrback:
The thing I don't like about aldiko is that even if you set the margins to 0, you still have the side margins in portrait mode, whereas with fbreader and moon+ reader you can have books full screen
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raecarter82:
Superb that did the trick
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacDegger:
Best reading experience I ever had was iSilo. I used that on my palmpilot IIIc up through my winmo Touch HD.

Nowadays, everything seems to come in .epub format. Best readers I've found are fbReader or moon+reader. I prefer fbReader due to it not using resources/battery if you tell it not to use the accelerometers (which moon+ stills seems to use and drain battery doing so), even though moon+ is a nicer reader (and has a library which doesn't crash).

There's also an iSilo for android, but I just don't use it anymore.

There's also a great chm reader (just search for chm in the market).

As for pdf's ... exPDF wins by a MILE. Adobe just sucks for pdf's, on any platform (which is stupid, as it's their format to start with! They just can't make a half decent reader, let alone a reader worth using).

As for where to get your books: Project Gutenberg, BEan Books and any other place which publishes pdf's, epubs or pdbs.

Fbreader and Feedbooks a winning combination in my book (pun intended)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wil-j:
Good news for anyone wanting to read books in PDF format! Aldiko just released an update that added support for PDF, works extremely well! The whole app also got a lot better! I've been waiting for this! :cool:

I've noticed that whenever I turn off my wifi connection, the mobile data connection automatically turns itself on. This is quite annoying as I usually have it turned off to conserve battery.

Is there any way to disable this?

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
No as the Desire is a smart phone which always needs a connection to the Internet to update - it's working as designed
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b0ng0:
Well if the user specifically wants to turns off the APN connection and keep it off until manually turned on, I don't see why that's such a big ask. I only want to have control of my phone, not the other way around.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spannaa:
I use Honolulu Team's Extended Controls to switch both wi-fi and mobile data off when not required.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b0ng0:
I also use this, but if I have wifi turned on for example (with mobile data turned off prior), when I turn off the wifi the mobile data immediately activates without my say so.

There must be some way to disable this automatic connecting.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Wow, what a read that was. I'll have to go through and read it a couple more times since this is how Google is going to allow us to prevent our apps from getting copied from phone to phone.

It's probably not as bad as it "felt" on the first read-through and they do mention creating a library to make it easy to implement from app to app.

Anyone doing this yet? Comments?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jug6ernaut:
Yep, its not as hard as it appears, here is a good starting point.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Thank you, I'll check-out the link :)

Doesn't look too painful. As I'm somewhat new to the Market, how do you put an app up and test it without publishing it.

tia

Roots
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jug6ernaut:
implement the licensing in your app. Then once u have a dev account go to settings and u can add email address's (the ones linked to your market on your phone) and thos will your tests accounts. you can set them to return license/not licensed, errors ect.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Is it under the Settings tab and then Users? Like, add a user e-mail address there?

Still not sure how to publish it either without it being "live". And is a developer account different from the account I have for selling apps?

Sorry for my ignorance on this...it's probably in the help somewhere. I'll go look it up like I should be doing anyways! :)

Thanks,

Roots
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Ok, all done and done with licensing...woo hoo!

One questions remains, however: what about existing owners of the app...what happens when they come in and get the updated licensed version of the app?

Thanks,

Roots
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jug6ernaut:
Nothing they should be fine as when they but the app they appear as licenced afaik
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Ok, thanks. I should be good to go then as I haven't had any complaints and apparently the new code is working ok because I've had a couple sales after publishing the new licensed version.

Now, talk about irony, I have to buy my OWN app to use it!! ROFL :) :)

I guess I could hack it and create my own apk that starts the activity no matter what.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Euclid's Brother:
Wow.. wish i had seen this before implementing.. But at least now i really understand it all (almost).

Only question... "ERROR_SERVER_FAILURE" and "ERROR_CONTACTING_SERVER" both seem to call dontAllow(). Is there a way to differentiate between these and "NOT_LICENSED" so I can display a different dialog that says there's some problem connecting to the license service?

Thanks

Do I need to create classes for all of those in the license library??? Help!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marty331:
I figured this out, for some reason the library was not being built correctly. I had copied the library file into my workspace in eclipse, I moved it to a different directory and was able to build it successfully.

I'm looking for the best music app in terms of functions, GUI, and lock screen support for ASOP.

So far, I think winamp is good but its gui is ugly as hell.

Miui is beautiful but laggy and no lock screen support and no eq.

Poweramp is a memory hog.

What's your cent? :)

Sent from my GT-I9000
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jonni3:
I've tried Mixzing, Power amp, Miui, Lithium & a few othes, while they are good music apps none of them was what I was really looking for.

So for me it's 3 cubed, superb UI, album art grabber, lockscreen & the lack of an eq doesn't matter as the SGS sounds great with mixget and quality set of headphones.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] filou75:
Yeah, MIUI is beautiful but... no lockscreen...

I use : http://www.appbrain.com/app/music-mod-(froyo-only)/com.piratemedia.musicmod

winamp is okay.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] vlad11:
PowerAmp is the one, works perfectly on SGS, amazing UI, album art grabber, plus a very well done equalizer.

I never had any problems with it being a memory hog.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Babyface1985:
I will try the PowerAmp. Now I use 3D Cube, but there´s no equalizer. On some tracks i´ll miss it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] MiG123:
hmm i wonder why the SGS stock player ain't getting any love here... Imo its the best music player out there made for andriod. Wide codec support, excellent hardware eq with optional sound enhancements, colourful UI and fantastic yet simple lock screen controls. Perhaps I think performance and compatability issues in the earlier firmwares + the bad reputation of touchwiz might be the reason why its not well recieved but I feel that the player has improved in terms of performance and stabilty to very usable levels in the recent firmwares(esp the 2.2.1 firmwares). Thus for me personally the SGS music player is a winner in most if not all aspects and will be my sole music player app for some time to come...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Maddmatt:
Agreed. Stock player is great. The lock screen controls are only available if you use the stock glass lockscreen so some people wont get them.

I like using it with the "wide" effect.

Stock SGS Music Player is very decent.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] sciacallo010:
Stock Music player is great but in my opinion poweramp is better mainly because you can select the music folder

SGS Stock Music Player

I second MiG123....I have tried nearly all music players available in the market for SGS, but end up reverting to stock music player. However I recently used ipod's headphones and wao...huge a difference in the sound quality. The standard head phones with SGS are crap...try the ipod ones and you will hear the difference. I also used Audioboost2 etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] splish2010:
MixZing Pro version. Hands down.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] fluke:
Like the stock one but bothers me alot that with the phones it only allow you to pause the music, not going to the next or the previous like in btunes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] whiskeybro:
Best choice for sound quality ......it remenbers the equaliser settings for a song or album. and with my transparant skin the widget looks great too

I use this player 8 hours a day with my sennheiser PX 210 BT
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Adevem:
Imma let you finish, but I've still gotta say that PowerAMP is definitely the most kickass player of all time... of all time!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] gil80:
That's because of sound limitation by samsung. Use mixget with ALSA support to improve the sound quality. Its amazing.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] dictatorr:
Poweramp
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] gil80:
I tend ro agree with you but since it lacks the support for lock screen, it looses this time. The aosp lock screen is better therefore a music player with lock screen support is a must when driving.

Sent from my GT-I9000
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Maddmatt:
The stock music player does have lockscreen controls but you need to use the glass lockscreen for it.

I disagree about AOSP lock screen being better. That's a personal thing. With the glass one you don't have to swipe from a specific point or in a specific direction, so I prefer it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] gil80:
You can set to vibe only from lock screen and that is advantage. Music players like winamp, have an option in settings to support lock screen and its a big plus.

It's a shame cos I actually like the stock player.

Edit: Have downloaded 3 cubed and it's done the trick. Very cool player.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Adevem:
weird. run media scanner again. it should scan those songs unless you've put some unplayable extensions.

check for .nomedia in the folder too.

if all the above fails...

go settings > manage applications > all > mediastorage

clear data, reboot and wait for it to scan.

Hello everyone.

As you said, in the new versions of google maps the information stored in the cache (online first) and can return to view offline later. my trick, first at home with wifi, sailed through the area where I will go, and then normally use my gps with maps OFFLINE Since you keep everything above in the cache) (not 3g).

my question is:

As I can keep all the information stored in the cache (cache security copy .. just google maps), so that every time I install a new rom does not have to start over?

Hola a todos.

como ya habeis dicho, en las versiones nuevas de google maps se guarda la informacion en la cache (primero online) y se puede volver a ver offline despues .mi truco: primero en casa con wifi, navego por la zona donde voy a ir, y despues utilizo normalmente mi gps con maps OFFLINE Ya que se guardo todo anteriormente en la cache) (no 3g).
