[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryno502:
Thank you. I know some basic PHP, but I am not an expert by any means. I will look into taking some tutorials in Java, XML, etc.

I was reading into Android App Inventor, and I know its no substitute for Eclipse/Android SDK for making full blown complex applications, but do you think It would be beneficial for me to experiment with that?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jocala:
Be sure to check out Adobe AIR. It's open source and you can develop under OS X, Linux or Windows. You can also do cross-platform apps for iOS or Blackberry's new tablet.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryno502:
Is that whassup adobe air is? Basically dreamweaver for apps?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jocala:
I'd compare it to Visual Basic. You code in a combination of Actionscript 3 (basically a javascript clone) and mxml. Programs require the Air runtime (again, like old visual basic) to run, except for iOS where supposedly native code is generated.

You can code using Adobe's Flash Builder IDE or other third-party IDEs, or from the command-line.

No Android SDK or Java required.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryno502:
So can I use Air instead of Eclipse?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jocala:
No. Adobe's IDE is a modified version of Eclipse. You can also get a plugin for "regular" Eclipse.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thechicgeak:
I would imagine you would get far better results using Java (what I imagine you mean by Eclipse), but if any of you have experience developing for Air for Android, please put your experiences! I have not tried it myself, but usually those sort of "easy programming tools" are good mostly for rapid prototyping.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryno502:
Im just looking for a good place to start. I have zero programming experience.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thechicgeak:
My suggestion then would be to focus more on learning to program, and getting some experience programming in general. It would might be best to start learning Java while you learn some of those basic CS concepts I mentioned in te earlier post. In the long run, those general programming skills will help you way more than learning to code for a specific platform.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryno502:
Thanks for the advice. I will look into learning some java.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
Dont touch app inventor. Its nasty and will make you lazy. Kind of like learning vb before c. You get backwards and lazy and its hard to correct. I won't even higher developers who list vb as a language on their resume, we have no use for it and c# does all of the same things in good oop fashion. Vb should die a horrible painful death.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jocala:
I'll have to politely disagree. First, its been my experience that once you know one language, picking up another isn't a big deal.

I'm retired now, but in general business (circa 1978-2001), application development was always about selection of the best tool for the job at hand. Low-level languages like assembler ,c ,c++ were considered overkill for jobs like data entry screens, batch processing, report-writing,etc,etc. You know, the stuff that most businesses do every day :)

Tools like VB and Delphi were godsends.

Of course if you're coding kernels and compilers, it's a different story :)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edonnelly:
From my experience with it, I would say don't bother. I made my first android app with it, but I found it very convoluted and not intuitive at all. It was like they were so intent on everything being graphical that they did everything that way, even it made things ten times harder.

But here were the real problems with it, and why I would not recommend it:

1. Though you can make a functioning app with it, you cannot put that app in the market. This wouldn't be a problem if your goal was simply to use this as a learning step, but for the next item:

2. What you do in app inventor is in no way similar to writing actual code in Eclipse. Nothing I did with app inventor helped me in any way when I started using Eclipse. It might be useful for someone who's never done any programming whatsoever, since you do have to deal with variables and logic, etc., but knowledge of any programing language at all would be more useful that what you'd learn with this.

3. The functionality of an app inventor app is very limited. For example, I do not believe there is a way to have your app access anything on the internet.

It was an interesting experience, and in defense of app inventor, I was able to produce a highly useful app for my co-workers (though I've since re-written it using the standard eclipse/java method). It took no more than a couple of hours to do, which is really pretty amazing since it required no foreknowledge. But ultimately, I don't think it's worth the effort to learn to use if you have any long-term goals related to writing useful android apps, especially apps that any other people will use.

[It was many months ago that I last tried it, so it's possible they have made some improvements to it. The most useful one would be to be able to convert your app into java code --- then it might really become a learning tool for the person with coding and even java code but no familiarity with the android sdk.]
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thechicgeak:
I think app inventor is meant primarily as a rapid prototyping tool and secondarily as an aid to learning the high level view of how Android functions. I haven't used it myself, but it sounds like it is serving its purpose.

In an earlier post, I suggested that learning functional programming would be a good idea. I meant procedural programming. My bad, sorry if I caused any confusion.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QuiQNeZZ:
Can someone please figure out how to mod the code or whatever is needed to have the photos from your gallery be sorted with the latest photos up top instead of all the way at the bottom??

This drives me crazy as I have ton of pics on my phone and every time I take a new photo and I want to SMS it or upload it, I have to scroll all the way to the bottom to find the recent photo. Why did HTC make it this way? This should be an easy fix to have it sort by the latest date/time stamp right? Had this same issue on my Hero.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skydeaner:
The little slide pops up on the right and you can skip to the bottom instantly. It isn't that bad. Although someone would probably need the source to change it.

[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
:mad: i think i'm hitting my limit here.

not sure if i can last a few more months with this limitation... (keeping fingers crossed for the next best thing that runs on 1700+2100) :(

i'm using Dropbox (3 GB) to ease the pain

i'm using Fiabee (1 GB) <--- that's nothing, it's like a drop in a bucket

i'm using Subsonic (not very useful, as it still uses local storage to catch the songs)

i'm using mSpot (same as Subsonic, easier to use, no need for server)

I'm using Picasa (but is useless unless you have actual space to take pictures)

I'm also using pixelpipe (yet another media sync that catches stuff locally, which also consumes local space)

the only real solution i see is to be able to plug in an USB flash drive to the SNS, and play my medias from there.

unfortunately that is out of the question at the moment, as no one have been able to get it working yet via USB storage driver

The problem with both dropbox and fiabee is their download rate is not fast enough to make them a viable Streamer

not to mention, you can't even access the files until you have downloaded them, which also makes it pointless as you (me) have no free space left to receive the files anyways

It's not fun (a very tedious task), having to keep uninstalling a bunch of apps/games every time i want to check out another app/game, or deleting a whole bunch MP3s / Videos that you use often, only to have to download them again a few minutes later.

on the SGS the 2 GB space for Apps/Games + MKV, DIVX and other media support on the SGS was like a GOD sent, also the extra microSD support really opened up the phone to all kind of possibilities.

unfortunately the SGS has its own demons as well like dying internal SD, GPS issues, bad file system, etc, etc, just to name a few.

seems like currently i'm stuck between the sword & a rock

......... i'm slowly starting to regret getting the SNS:

- main issue limited space

- unable to natively do Video Call other phones like Nokia, LG, Samsung

- no gorilla glass (already got a deep scratch with a minor drop, the old SGS went through a lot of dips without a single scratch)

the only positive thing i like the SNS:

- 2.3 OS

- the phone actually works without dying internal SD issues
[Nexus S General] RogerPodacter:
is this a common thing are many people running out of space with the nexus s? i thought there was ample room with this phone with the new internal storage. i'm confused.
[Nexus S General] tarusdg:
looks like you have a lot of media that you use often. That should have been your number one concern when making your phone buying decision. 1gb for apps should be more than enough space but maybe im kidding myself. And if you needed a phone with more storage space for media there were/are plenty of options available. just sounds to me like you didnt do your research beforehand. IJS
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
it's just me

not every one is a heavy user like i am

lets just say the phone is replacing my laptop, and i'm trying to do everything i was able to do on my laptop on the phone (which it can)

but the problem is the limited space

if it had the microSD support like its counter part Galaxy S, then it would have been a breeze to just swap another microSD to access the files you want quickly
[Nexus S General] sstang2006:
+1

Return it before the 30 days and buy yourself a phone with an sdcard slot. There is not much that can be done after it gets full.. hopefully 32gb will be enough :D
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
not the case, i just though i could live with the limitation, but in the end it's not working out as planned.

still, i'll hang on to the SNS until a dual core with SAMOLED comes out, then i'll make my move.

this is the only Solid and stable Samsung phone so far, going back to a SGS Vibrant is like playing with fire :p

... I just needed to vent a little
[Nexus S General] nxt:
Use AudioGalaxy. I have 80gigs of music on my PC available for streaming to my NS. No caching needed.

My other suggestion, get a dedicated PMP.

-Nexus S
[Nexus S General] unremarked:
@AllGamer

Honestly, mate, I'd suggest returning/sending your Samsung Nexus S back if you still can. I've watched your post history over the last week or so and every other post seems to be a gripe about the Nexus S(like this one) or wishing that you had something from the Galaxy S lineup. Its clear that this phone is not a good fit for you and you should go back to your SGS device, whatever it may be. :)

I'm not trying to start a flamewar, call you out, or disrespect you or anything. I just think you'd be happier with a Vibrant or what have you. Different strokes for different folks.
[Nexus S General] sstang2006:
Thanks for the tip. But do you know of anything similar that doesn't require your computer to be on?
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
that's a good food for though, i'll try it out
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
don't worry mate all comments are welcome.

I did play with the idea of getting the the SGS vibrant SGH-T959, i might even trade my SGS i9000 for the SGH-T959

Currently i'm toying with the idea of converting the SGS i9000 to use the SGH-T959 radio http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=908120

in the end if i can find some Software alternative, then perhaps i can go on a few more months longer and switch to the next best phone all together, assuming they will support 1700+2100 :p
[Nexus S General] ghost010:
"i'm using mSpot (same as Subsonic, easier to use, no need for server)"

hey man,did you update mspot??? recently.

they do stream from server now,without downloading it on your phone.

all my mspot(xept covers/albumart folder) are empty even after playing 30 songs.
[Nexus S General] DKYang:
When did you sign up for Fiabee? They upgraded my account to 15 GB on new years for being "one of the first to try it" or something like that.
[Nexus S General] tarusdg:
Cool, I can understand that.
[Nexus S General] jazz145:
yeah well.. then I'm sorry but you did a bad job @ requierement engineering for your new device ;-)

well anyway. you should get some decent $$ on ebay for the nexus :)
[Nexus S General] stonew5082:
Well, you could get an android pmp like archos 43. Nice device with sd card, and can obviously download music. Its their new, smaller line. 2.1, but hey. Its a pmp.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
the Nexus S sells for a lot more here locally than on eBay ;)

so i have no problem at all letting it go, but as i posted a few message above

the SNS is the most solid device so far released by Samsung, that being said

i find it very hard to find another phone with SAMOLED display that can beat the SNS, as the Vibrant is not very good else i've swapped the SNS for the SGS in a heart beat.

i still have another SGS here with me, but it's not compatible to 1700+2100
