I've recently switched from a Palm TX to the Tilt, and now I'm in a fix. I have been all over the internet trying to find a simple time keeping program. I've lived by "Time Card 2" for palm OS. The Program opens with 2 large buttons, an IN and a OUT. Pressing the button logs the time, and the elapsed time, between the IN and the OUT. Of course it exports the data as a .cvs. It also keeps a running total for weeks, until you reset it. Everything that I have found for WM6 has been way too complex, and hard to use. I use this while I'm driving, so having to pull the stylis out is not a good idea.
I know this request may be a little out of line for this forum...but if anyone knows....it would be you guys!
here's what i found what sounded aproximately like what you need...

hope its what you need
Thanks Pencilcase,
PPocket Time Card 1.4.01, which was the first suggestion that you listed, I have used on my old iPaq. This program would fill my needs but....it will not run on my AT&T Tilt. I contacted the developer, no plans on a upgrade for WM6.
Thanks for the suggestion....in any case.
Hey mlpoland,
It sounds like a pretty simple program. If you give me a description of what you want, I'll try to write it for you.

Help
Dave,
That would be great. I believe that it would be a simple program to write, I just wouldn't know where to get started. Do you use Visual Basic.net? Well here are the steps:
OPEN SCREEN: Two Large Buttons (one IN and one OUT)
PRESSING EITHER BUTTON: Logs the time like using the "NOW" function in Excel
"IN" BUTTON PRESS: Logs the time, starts a record.
"OUT" BUTTON PRESS: Logs the time and IF there has been an "IN" time recorded, calculates the elapsed time.
"OUT" BUTTON PRESSED: If no "IN" Button is recorded before it, a N/A is returned.
THE RECORDED FILES: The Spread sheet can be view on a second screen, allowing the records to be edited.
DATA EXPORTED: In a .csv format, giving the Day, Time, and Elapsed Time, Plus the Total of all the Elapsed time.
A RESET CLEARS ALL RECORDS:
The Palm OS program that I've used has a couple of additional features which are not critical. It records the elapsed time is 1/10 hour format, which is nice for my use, plus it turns the Palm Off after a button press.
It would be Great if you could help me with this, it doesn' seem like a very hard program to write.....I don't even know how to start!
Thanks
Marc
Ok I have something for you..
Let me know how it works.. It's writen for .Net so the compact framework is a requirement.
Just extract the PunchClock.zip to an arbitrary directory and execute the PunchClock.exe file..
It creates a punchClock.txt file in same directory as executable.. It's in CSV format with <DateTime>,<ellapsed nr. of seconds>,...
Program error
Thanks for the help. Conceptionally, the program appears to fill the need, however it faults out after any action past the first "punch in".
The details that are reported are as follows:
PunchClock.exe
ObjectDisposedException
at
System.Windows.Forms.Control.Invoke
Helper()
System.Windows.Forms.Control.Invoke()
at
RobinsFirstWM6.SimpleTimer.startTimer()
Hope this helps, I've typed it exactly as it appears on my screen. Thanks for helping with the requested program
Thanks again,
Marc
Ok.. on my kaiser it seems to run smooth.. but I'll look in to this..
I've read your description somewhat more and am planning a few changes that will make it more robust.
I only need time to sit down an code.. so stay tuned
Regards
Robin
Robin,
Thanks for your time and effort. I will be offline for a week...I've updated my signature with the info on my phone....maybe that will help you.
Thanks again,
Marc
I would be interesting in this as well, look forward to seeing the next version.
Simple Time Keeping Program
Folks,
It has been a week or so....so I thought I'd try to bring this thread back to life.
Thanks,
Marc
Hello all,
I recently started a course here at Purdue University on Mobile Software development (Windows Mobile).
I need some ideas for programs I should write. Please reply to this thread or PM me if you'd like.
I have experience with C#, VB, C++, and C, among other languages.
Thanks

how about a dedicated xda forum app?
How about a sports ticker. I'm still surprised there isn't one yet.
BTW, I think I saw a xda app when I was poking around the other night.
I'm trying to think of ideas but my minds drawing a blank...
Here's the XDApp
Gonna expose my nerdiness here, but you asked...
How about an app that accesses the D&D Insider online compendium of rules and data? Not sure what would be involved, but I'm betting that there's no API available, so it'll probably never happen.
OTOH, it would be nice to see a really high quality dice-rolling app that takes full advantage of the g-sensor and the hardware accelerated graphics...something that looks like dice inside a tumbler, you know? Maybe start with a really slick Yahtzee-style game, and build up to polyhedral dice for us game-geeks?
I'd be happy to provide you with some guidelines for building. I'm sure we could find you a suitably good graphics guy, too, if you're not up to that part (I could do that, in a pinch).
I want my phone to do this:
But until then, I would like to see an ap like Skype, but for mobile that will easily switch you from cellular network to VOIP.
I have two ideas:
#1 - I don't know if this is even possible, but an application that turns on WIFI and/or Bluetooth in a receive only mode briefly every few seconds and listens for user selected devices in range and then performs user selected actions.
The idea is that the it would use less power than leaving WIFI and/or Bluetooth on all the time, but when I get in range of my wifi router at home, it turn WIFI fully on and sync my phone. Or when I'm in range of the WiFi at work, it could turn my ringer to vibrate. Or when I get into the car, it detect my Bluetooth stero, connects to it, and opens the music player.
#2 - Probably simpler than #1, a program that turns WiFi and/or Bluetooth on automatically when the phone is plugged into a charger and then performs specific user defined actions, similar to idea #1.
I don't know if programs like this already exist, but I haven't found them.
Dylan
I like these ideas, please keep them coming. I am not sure what the requirements will be as far as our programming projects are concerned but from what I understand I have alot of freedom in project choices!
I am in another robotics programming class working with the iRobot Creates and I was thinking it would be really sweet to program something that could allow the 2 to interact in some way/shape/form!
I am also very excited about GPS technology I wouldn't mind programming something that would utilize the GPS or triangulation!
Thanks for the contributions all, please keep them coming!

With all that programing skill you could create some pretty neat apps.
Ive always liked the windows desktop interface.
How about a windows xp-like launcher?
Complete with movable desktop icons, windows, etc.
I am aware that wisbar advance desktop allows you to do this, but alot of those skins are a hassle, and they are not very complete. Plus they dont exactly take advantage of any 3d graphic drivers..
But anyways back to the point, with a windows xp desktop like interface it would be easier to use the phone.
I would not have to stretch my thumb all the way to the top left of the phone.
Oh and you could possibly utilize the touch pros capacitive touch panel for controlling the mouse.
You could also get google android working with more functionality. I am aware that there is work being done on it, but someone with so much programing knowledge could really speed up the project.(Im android crazy)
Or, if all that is too much to complete in limited time, then how about an application that will allow multi touch using the touch panel?
And also, resistive touch screens are supposedly multi touch capable.
I hope i gave you enough ideas.
Good luck.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ye s a facebook like app
But would love to see a app recreate the zoombar
on my tp
VOIP
Hi,
I have an idea and it is possible.
how about having an app on your phone to configure your SIP provider settings in it ( 5 different proxy ) and then when you want to dial a number, you can right click on it and chose " voip dial ".
Skype already gives you a the menu for skype calls when u right click on your contact .
if you can add a menu to TF3D settings->communication->VOIP and we can add 5 different proxy in it and we can activate more than one proxy at the same time in order to RECEIVE AND DIAL voip calls from our phone it would be awesome since microsoft is not allowing this kind of apps on marketplace .
Tnx

a good "made for raphael" nes or snes emulator would be great since all the other ones out there are out dated and seem to work grat on old phones but are horribly laggy on the touch pro...wierd... the only good one ive found is a jap build of nester (nesterj4u) built for an hp phone or pda im not sure but the keyboard slides out to the right so landscape mode is upside down when i want to use the keyboard >_<
a good streaming media app thats a bit easyer to use than the one that comes with the phone would be great with some tv links on it like surfthechannel or tvdome would be great.
a youporn app to copliment the youtube app would be awsome
hmmm a good compass that simply points north (true or magnetic) with degrees would be awsome for when i drop mine on the roof trying to point my sat.
a simple freeware level would also be awsome since ive only found trialware levels so far
an hourglass would be a fun pointless app for when i get bored of pouring digital beer.
a goofy clip art picture editor could be fun just to mess with. maybe with some fish eye lens and carnival mirror opptions would be fun.
a free streaming radio app would be cool too....
sorry for the long list cant sleep ... figured the more ideas the better
ps. im not sure if any of these already exist havent checked lately so if anyone know if they do feal free to point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated
ok, I'm gonna try to have this make sense, but no guarantees. how about a simple titanium plugin framework? something that **doesn't** use mortscript? as mscript is good for certain things, it's not for others. this way there is an easier way for developers to make new plugins for it without having to use a slow scripting language. does that make any sense?
How about a talking GPS
I was out on my mountain bike today. I have a Garmin unit on the handle bars for navigation and listening to music from my Touch Pro in my pocket.
I was riding a fast downhill section through the some trees when I realized I was taking my eyes off the trail to make sure I was still on course.
I've used this http://www.basicgps.co.uk/ for Geocaching but it can only take you to one waypoint at a time. You can't use it to follow a route.
How about making an application which can steer you along a route using voice commands.
(Tomtom and others can only do this on roads, not off-road)
mixture of gps and accelerometer
well can u create an app the tells u ur speed while u are travelling like there is one app which does it in i phone it uses motion sensing and gps there are apis for both you can code it in c# with .net fw 3.5 and if u require help i am available i too know c# .
sound control
What about an app. that would control all of the sound feature such as the ear speaker,speaker phone speaker,and possibily microphone independitly,like bass,trebl,vol. That way a person could tailor the phone to sound the way they want it to sound when they are talking on it or whatever.
Just a thought.
Programing Ideas
A project that I have been toying with is a "Now" button for the calendar. Those of us in consulting need a simple and quick way to insert the current time in the Start Time and End Time field, which ever is selected. I've not been successful so far.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HARDWARE: AT&T HTC FUZE (Raphael)
Hard-SPL: AT&T
ROM: AT&T
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How about that app the iPhone has where you can transfer contacts by putting the phones next to each other and shaking it to transfer or sliding it across to the other phone.
All for now will think of more
*edit* Forget this its kind of pointless when we can send contacts via sms/IR beam
How about the ability to use our Fuze's as remote controls like you could with PDA's, open your garage door, turn on your 360 or TV, forgot to turn your laptop off, send it a signal to shut down from anywhere
There're some cool applications on Android. One application changes the ringtone based on GPS location. It sets ringtone to loud at home, lower the volume in office and automatically sets the phone to vibration when you are in a theater.
Another application is about setting alarm based on location. You can set an alarm about buying some stuff in a store, next time when you pass by the store, alarm goes off.
Hi, can anyone help me with my final sticking point before possibly upgrading to the HTC One?
I have an HTC Desire Z and one facility that I use on almost a daily basis at work is in the onboard Calculator which allows me to simply scroll up (using it’s mini trackpad) to previous calculations then change individual figures and recalculate them.
The One I’ve seen demonstrated instore doesn’t appear to have a way to do this (I tried swiping up, and also holding my finger on the result area of the screen), and the assistant didn’t know if it was possible either. However, holding the “Clear” button for a couple of seconds brings up a message along the lines of the calculations history being cleared from the memory, suggesting that it must have this information stored.
Can anyone who perhaps owns a One let me know if there’s a way to access previous calculations in this way please.
Many thanks
Download holocalc, you can view history easily and it looks way cleaner.
Thanks for your suggestion. I settled with MobiCalc in the end as it has a really simple History button. Cheers :good:
I was curious how one might go about doing this. I am just starting to learn Java and Android, but have some goals and curiosities.
Basically, lets say someone has their tablet connected to Glass. They are playing a game on the tablet, which at intervals (when triggered by an in game event) will send simple animations,images or text to be displayed on Glass that will remain on-screen until dismissed with a button press (from maybe a bluetooth keyboard?).
let me know what you more seasoned folks think of such an idea.
First of all, please excuse my english.
This is the thing, Im working on two small projects.
The first one, a small retro pinball machine with a RPI3.
I need, since some games have a button that works like if you were shaking a real machine, to add this functionality.
I thought on adding some sort of sensor that activates this button input on the game.
But, I don’t know which should I use or how to implement this. No coding experience.
Also, maybe asking much, as cheap as possible for both cases.
The second one, a fightstick to play exclusively Street Fighter 3: Third Strike on PC, online on Fightcade.
And I want that, when you perform a Super Art, the fightstick to vibrate.
I have two rumble small motors that I tooked from an old joystick.
I need them to work under some of the following conditions:
If a specific set of inputs are recognized (being qcf qcf XP/XK, qcb qcb XP/XK, X standing for the three kinds of punch/kick -light, medium or heavy-; maybe later Ill add others but, for a starting point, some basic moves), or somehow interacting with the PC emulator Final Burn Alpha under Fightcade. Also I need to set an X amount of time to them to start/stop.
The stick would be connected to the PC but I thought on using a RP Zero to implement the idea.
So, would you kindly help me out?
