[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MV10:
Is anyone aware of a location-aware app to enable and disable the lock screen? I'd actually prefer to trigger it based on WiFi availability, but I'd consider other location schemes.

Via e-mail, I have potentially sensitive business information on my phone.

However, I primarily work from a home office which makes the code-based lock screen a minor hassle. (I don't use the pattern, the finger marks on the screen make it too easy to guess.)

So obviously I'd love it if my lock would kick-in when I head to lunch or need to physically visit the "real" office or whatever -- but not when I'm at home.

Any ideas?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ColorNapkin:
I've no suggestions but I've thought of the exact same thing. I'd love for it pattern lock when I'm anywhere but my home.

I would even pay for that app.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] phatdan123:
I would recommend looking into Tasker. I haven't personally used it, but I have heard many great things about it. On their website it lists some examples of what you can use it for, one of them is changing phone settings based on location. You can download a free 7 day trial from their website. It costs 3.49 GBP direct from their website or 3.99 GBP in the market.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MV10:
Forgot all about Tasker. Good idea.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] tjhart85:
I've used Setting Profiles to do the same.

When I'm at work the pattern gets set, but when I'm at home, it's not on.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MV10:
I just downloaded Settings Profiles, but none of the security settings can be adjusted in a profile (at least, not in the Lite version). I'd prefer something more straightforward like that, but none of the profile apps I checked have that setting available.

It appears Tasker can do this with the aid of a plugin:

http://groups.google.com/group/tasker/browse_thread/thread/35f0c3d6dcf4a644/964318b8f77810fc

Haven't tried it yet, though.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MV10:
Ah. Apparently this is never going to be possible as of 2.2 and higher.

Google blocked programmatic access to the Secure Settings provider as of Froyo.

<sigh>

First we lose GPS control. Now this. Hell, by the time Android 4.0 is out, we'll probably have to check with the Google front desk just to place a call.

(Yes I understand why... but it seems like they could provide some kind of authorization mechanism in case, you know, we pesky old users consciously decided to give access to those settings to a particular application...)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] untermensch:
It wouldn't be difficult to add a way for a service or application to communicate

with the lock screen, like Settings can choose which lock screen to display.

the application would at least have to be installed to /system/app but may

have to be signed with the same key as the ROM, if that is the case then

files could be used instead of the system settings db.

this would only protect from a casual attack like some nosy person picking up the phone

and browsing through your stuff, Odin is the ultimate root kit, so a prepared attacker could

probably get what they want in 5-10 min.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MV10:
Yeah, but vulnerability to ODIN is going to be the case no matter what. I'm a lot more worried about "Some Random Idiot in a Bar" than I am about the several hundred people across the country who can actually use ODIN well enough to go all Wargames on my phone.

I've prepared a version of PSA with live scanning from video... the focusing could be tweeked a little bit, but it works very well.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaD33QtOeqA

I've forgotten to switch the ui culture to english so the app in the video is german, but it is availiable in all marketplace supported languages too.

Please feel free to comment...

Update to version 2.0:

The new version (will hit the marketplace in a few days) supports live tile notifications for observed products and will notify you over the psa icon on your homescreen about new offers for watched products.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] james2k2:
I've been trying this app since your first version as it was something I was looking forward to having. It has, since then made leaps and bounds and works very well. I've just updated to the latest version, but the video mode isn't there? When will you be updating the marketplace version?

Thanks, James.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] HerrVorragend:
Hello James,

the version with live scanning from the video will be ready tomorrow (I've included the possibility to activate the flashlight to scan under bad light conditions and have tweeked my barcode detection algorythm a little bit).

but... using the camera api is not "legal", so I dont't know if this version will pass the marketplace certification. If it will not I, will upload this version in the moment MS takes down the restictitions on the camera api.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] mirabear:

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] toolsche:
Thanks for the nice app. Just bought it. Hope the live scanning features gets approved!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] HerrVorragend:
At the moment QR-codes are not planned to implement, becaus "Personal Shopping Assist" was designed to optimize your real world shopping experience. And EAN/UPC-barcodes are the world wide most used barcode types for product ids. And every new barcode type makes the scanning a little bit slower.

Are QR codes used for product id's? if yes can you make an example?

Thanks for your help

[Optimus One, P500, V General] sujal:
hey.. I just took it to the LG service center after I got tired of trying for 10 hours straight. They have promised me a brand new phone by thursday. My advice would be that you do the same. If they ask you how it happened and stuff, then tell them that you tried to upgrade to the newer firmware and then that happened. Just don't let them know that you rooted your phone. Good luck!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Djinn Moto:
I got the same situation before while using ROM Manager and Clockwork Mod. All I saw was just the LG blinking at the start up screen.

I brought it to the LG Service and told them that the power was not working. They kept my phone for 24 hours and called back and said that I had upgrated the firmware. I lied to them that I didn't :D

By the way, they still made the prepairation for you.

PS: I think your situation is that I suppose you read this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=883314 carefully or if you are not sure what you are going to do, please, take it to LG Guarantee Service.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Spikeia:
I really wanted to fix this by myself, but if I cant, I'll be doing the same. The Rom Manager really sucked.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] nk_blu:
This exact same thing happened to me, I Installed ROM Manager and Clockwork Recovery, then the phone rebooted on its own, and then was stuck on LG Boot logo. I haven't set up custom recovery yet at this point to create a back up, so I thought I was screwed. But I have successfully recovered it.

To recover your phone:

Follow the instructions on the sticked threads about flashing original firmwares: Setup KDZ (or whatever updater), grab your original firmware file, boot into Emergency Mode (I think the key combination is Up+Back key, not sure on top of my head) let the updater flash your firmware, and voila!~

Hope this helps.

I didn't have those errors happen to me but I noticed on your 3rd last line it says LoadCDMAPhone() Error, and wondering if you didn't set your phone type as 3GQCT in KDZ Updater. If The_Error's guide doesn't work, I may have to say you're SOL, and should try to return/exchange the phone if you can or send to LG for "warranty" repair.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lahitsitely78:
Hi everyone,

Let's go straight to the point here's what took my phone down :

I had HTC Desire that I rooted with unrevoked. A several days ago I was notified that a new OTA update (the 2.29.405.2 version, the 28.89MB zip file) was available, so I downloaded it and tried to install it. The update wouldn't install as my phone was rooted. I found on some forum some guy that said he had the same problem and managed to install the update by renaming the zip file update.zip and moving it to the root of the SD card so this is what I did.

Now my phone is stuck at the HTC white boot screen, keeps rebooting. When I boot it in recovery mode it displays an error message (see attached file) like :

SD cheking....

Loading...[PB99DIAG.zip]

No image!

Loading...[PB99DIAG.nbh]

No image or wrong image!

Loading...[PB99IMG.zip]

No image!

Loading...[PB99IMG.nbh]

No image or wrong image!

I'm really new to all this and any help is more than welcome!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ahatius:
Well as far as I can see that's not an error message, since I get the same messages when booting into my Recovery mode on Nexus One (and mine is working).

Did you try wiping the phone and / or flashing your previous ROM again?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lahitsitely78:
Thx for your reply.

Yeah I tried factory resetting it. To flash a ROM do I need to have a working phone, or just a working bootloader ? And how do I know my bootloader is still working ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lahitsitely78:
From what I understood the bootloader is the menu you get in when pressing [Volume down] while turning your phone on. If so, I do have a working bootloader, and the last (but not least) thing I need to be working is a recovery.

So I tried to re-install unrevoked while running Linux, but Linux doesn't recognize the device. I'll give it another try while running windows since it recognizes the phone if it's in recovery mode.

In case it doesn't work, is there anything else I can try besides sending the phone back to HTC ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RobertVanHagar:
The same thing happened to me several weeks ago while working on some settings and updates. I freaked out a lot, but this is what worked for me. It may work for you:

1. Remove the battery from the handset

2. Press & hold the power button on the handset for 10 seconds

3. Re-insert the battery

4. Press your volume down/up button (depending on what device you have) and while holding it, press the Power button.

I would suggest making a Nand Backup once you're in the HBOOT screen, but before you do it, chose the USB-PC Toggle option so that you can go into your phone via Windows Explorer and remove any flashable zip file your SD may have other than the ROM you want to flash.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kasalamite:
what happend when you enter the recovery menu by selecting it with volum button and then power button to enter ? does it reboot into a green menu called clockworkmod ?

did you ever download a custom rom, such as for example defrost.zip and copy the file without unzipping it to your sd card, then select wipe all stuff you have and install that rom (zip) file. did you do that ?

i am also new to it and i have the same phone as you, but all works great for me, just needed to read many posts and tutorials here, then i did it and i am happy with it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lahitsitely78:
Can you explain what it's gonna do and what are the risks ?

It enters a menu with 4 items :

FASTBOOT

RECOVERY

CLEAR STORAGE

SIM LOCK

Then when I select RECOVERY it enters the HTC boot screen endless loop...

I tried using unrevoked but it didn't work, then I tried using a RUU but it didn't work either.

I'm kinda loosing hope here any other idea what I can try?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lahitsitely78:
SOLVED

It's alright I managed to run a RUU while the phone was in the fastboot submenu of the HBOOT
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] HorNet505:
well I got the same problem.

Is there a real solution to it?

entering in nandroid just wont work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lahitsitely78:
As I said running a RUU worked, even though it wiped all the data off the phone.

So I updated to the official JPY firmware on my Samsung Galaxy S. Everything works OK apart from today I went to scan a Barcode with the Barcode Scanner app, and it crashed. The logcat output shows it's the camera preview that is causing the problem. Layer won't display its AR view, ixMAT scann and Shopper both have the same problem (3 vibrates and a force close).

Tried uninstalling/reinstalling the apps, clearing the data, rebooting, etc.

did you run autostart or something else that stops apps from starting up on boot.. because email normally starts up every boot. and if you disable that somehow.. (not just remove it) you will have the same problem..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] extorian:
Good catch! Yes - that's exactly what I did. As I never used it, and as it was sucking like 15MB of RAM for no good reason, I did prevent it from starting on boot_completed with Autostarts.

The annoying thing is, it's still set like that, and as I no longer have root and z4root that I used previously no longer works for 2.2.1 I'll have to start it manually for now until I root again.

Just for pedagogical reasons: some body knows why there is such a dependency?

Thank you for your help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] extorian:
No idea, but apps that use the camera absolutely 100% require the email app to have loaded first.

I lost root when I updated to 2.2.1. Prior to that I'd disabled the email app starting automatically using the AutoStarts app (as I never use it).

I do use K9 now, but that doesn't make the apps that use the camera work. It must be the email app for me. I've just told Tasker to start the email app on startup, wait 3 seconds, and press the Home button, so now it starts automatically again and I don't have to do anything.

Interestingly, the Camera app itself works fine. It just any other app that uses the camera that crashes.

Yes nandroid is the backup in Clockworkmod.

No idea what the first part of the second sentences means, but it is safe to do it via a virtual machine. Just make sure that after every reboot the device is properly passed on the the virtual machine.

Winmo was nice coming from iPhone but no matter what cooked ROMS I'd try, it would still require a weekly Soft Reset and typing was a nightmare.

Have since flashed the DFT Android Rom using Magldr and will never go back. IMO you have nothing to lose and all to gain flashing or using an SD Card Android Build, besides if you miss Winmo you can always go back.
