NBA Close Up... Review+Screenshots

Well, no I dont work for T-mobile, nor am i working for the NBA... this we know. But I took some screenshots and thought id post this here..
Believe me I searched, multiple combos to not double post.. although I read somewhere about it, but couldnt find that post..
screenshots are below
Layout of App:
1. 4 cam main menu (Home Player Cam, Away Player Cam, Close Up Cam, Scoreboard Cam)
2. there should be pictures of each camera angle... these were taken at the half of the cavs vs magic game 2.
Review:
It could be better, from the clear details that LUKLUK and Youtube HD (on Wifi), its kinda upsetting.. but it does give you great angles..
As for the delay, Id give it 10-15 seconds behind... i thought one time it was maybe 5 seconds, but no, played myself.
Overall, its not a bad deal for .99 cents. Hopefully there can be a better video quality and i guess a more user friendly UI.
By the way this is being used on JFv1.5.
Not in any way am i trying to boost T-Mobile's sales... they got enough of my money with my bills.

Thanks.
Super appreciate this post. Was thinking about getting this app, even though my beloved Blazers have gone fishing.
The screens don't look half as bad as I thought they would. Hows the feed? Choppy? Thanks again.

the feeed isnt too choppy... but i was using wi-fi... i mean i guess its not a waste of a dollar... but you "expect" more i guess, compared to other video streaming apps... but it could get better
But its not really choppy during playback, i havent tested it on 3G i will next game.
but video is watchable and runs smoothly with good connections or wi-fi of course

DAMN CLEVELAND lol good game by the way. anyways yeah i was really tempted too and by the screen shots the clarity is pretty decent so i might have to pick it up even though the seasons almost done lol. but im sure it would be pretty cool to have when you cant watch the game.
Im sorry i kinda looked over it quikly but does it show stats and does it update the score pretty quikly? does it show any instant replays or anything else? j/w
thanx for reviewing this by the way

I would have definitely gotten this app if my Celtics had advanced. Oh well.

Just remember that this will most likely only work for the Eastern Conf. Finals. The four camera angles are what TNT provides on their website so I guess this is linked to that. ESPN covers the Western Conf Finals and ABC will do the Finals.
Though it was still worth it, this series is most likely going to 6 or 7 so 99 cents is definitely worth it so I can watch it in class or away from home.

ya know what, i dont think i even saw the score on there.. lol, ill have to double check... you do have the announcers commentating all game.. i believe its backed by T-mobile through their TNT connection, cus it doesnt do the west coast...
but NBA Game Time has pretty damn accurate scores and complete updates of scores etc... like 5-10 seconds delay... if that

yeah i agree with you, it could be worth it since damn near every game is a last minute shot and all the series are 7 games with twists n turns... sheesh

Yea I didn't think it would be so competitive, thought Cavs would win easily at home, but now I don't know whats gonna happen. Can't wait for the game tonight.

those screenshots are great,
i might buy it

Task manager like the Palm Pre

Stumbled across this nice little app called "Itching Thumb" (Link goes to android zoom for overview http://tinyurl.com/29p9g8x)
It is a task manager that looks like the "card view" that some maybe familiar with from Palm.
It looks nice, runs smooth. been installed for a couple hours, no FC's. Thought others would like to know of this.

I tried this and really liked it. The one thing I couldn't stand was when you hit home from any app, it would take an extra second or two and show a black screen in order to create the screenshot for Itching Thumb. Annoying.

ya i saw this last night and decided to give it a try. it has a LOT of potential, but im gonna wait for it to be a little bit more polished. i also wish you could get it to work by long pressing home somehow so if you have it, it actually does replace the stock one. (unless i was missing something and you can long press home with it somehow)

Wish it had the flick to end apps like on webOS though. I'm sticking with powerstrip app. It was money well spent

This actually does the flick to end.
It would be nice to have it hit on a long press. All who use should msg the developer to see that added in a further build. Once more bugs are ironed out, I would totally pay for this. Its pretty solid so far. just minor kinks

[Q] [REQ] Camera Gunsight

Hey all,
So I've thought of using my android phone as a gunsight on my airsoft g36, and so far, I've gotten away with the standard camera app, and a plastic sheet with a dot in the middle. However, an app that uses the camera and overlays a cross or a dot that is moveable would be nice! Particularly if the camera can be soft-hacked to see IR light more readily. Let's see if anyone cooks something nice.
Regards,
Eliwu26

Sorry to not really answer your question, but you have an airsoft G36 too?? Awesome, man! I have a Classic Army G36E. Really love that thing. Hasn't seen any action in quite some time though... Pretty sad, but I haven't had anyone to play with around here.
But have you tried looking at some of the camera apps on the market? Some might have some random things you could throw on the screen as guides or assists for taking pictures. And with the stock camera you could press the screen to put the focus box at a certain part of the screen. Only problem is that it could fail to focus if you're moving too much... Hmm...

Yeah, too bad it's only an Echo 1 though. But it does have a 6.03 tightbore, a silencer, and a custom doublemag hicap I built. The camera app's square is much too big for aiming. As for nightvision, I tried taking apart the camera, but the darn lens is way too small to take the IR filter off. Maybe someone can soft-hack or cook something for us.

Oh very nice. At least it's still something. I actually got some new mags for mine too. The hicaps they give you are just annoying. Got like a box of 5 170-cap mags that are spring-fed.
As for the camera, it might not be too hard to go into it and just edit the actual pictures for the square in the .apk itself. I might even be able to have a look at it...

One App To Rule Them All - Pics

I take a lot of pics, and videos. I've got a 2 yr old and another child on the way, so my snap shots and videos are going to increase. I like to share this media with family across the country. But I dislike using two or more apps to do it.
I don't like the stock Android ICS gallery and although I do like the older 3D gallery, I dislike the lack of any real options. ie I want to be able to specify which folders it looks at.
Picasa is a great "picture sharing" platform but doesn't have the ability to upload/share video (as far as I could tell), nor is there a stand alone app for it....you need the stock gallery to view your photos.
QuickPic is pretty sweet, but lacks the ability to syn with Picasa. And, also is doesn't have its own upload ability. You need to upload to Picasa, Photobucket or the likes.
Photobucket has pretty great upload / sharing abilities but doesn't really function as a gallery.
Sooooooo considering how great the camera function is becoming in our phones, can't we just have one darn app to handle all of this?? Maybe I'm missing out on something, but I think we're still coming up short in this department.

That's kinda of alot to ask for, but we never know what the future holds.

You're bringing me down bro I hope its in the future. The hardware on smart phones is progressing in leaps and bounds. I needs an everything app

book page photo

I tried in a mall the samsung note 8 and was disappointed by how the pages of a paper book where not clearly taken.
I do not know if is the autofocus or the small distance. I basically use a lot this feature and find annoying while I maintain the page open with one hand to make a photo if the zoom does not work properly. Usually I block the book and click on the screen so to take a photo. Does someone has recommendations? I wrote here because on the internet cannot find nothing, and for me is an important use case

I take lots of photos of documents and pages of books and magazines, and they are ok

well no actually, I bought it, best device ever, and the pics are spectacular, but still if i maintain with one hand the book, and make pics with the other hand some are great others like that
maybe I move my hand while I am doing the picture, maybe I should find a way to stay with the phone immobile

a bit of a low light enviroment for auto mode and text but just tap the screen once where the text is and then take a picture.
In pro mode there are tons of other adjustments. try to use the software to adjust the focus functionality and lightning to take photos on the go. once you find the right mix, use that mode from now on for those particular tasks.
try AF area multi in pro mode

for personal use. I have thousands of books (paper) and thousands of ebooks. Once in a while I need to bring some pages with me, as you would do some photocopies in the old times

you were right, the problem was my hand that was moving. If I remain with the arm locked, the pictures are perfect, far better than the dozens of devices i had so far.

to press the screen is something i cannot afford, because with one hand I maintain the book. Anyway the pictures are perfect without touching any pro setting. The problem was I did not maintain my arm immobile when I was shooting.
just did one hundred pages really clear, book with 8 and also 7 fonts size, big format, every pic two pages. Amazing

Ok, do you also use the optical character recognition ? Never used this myself but just curious.

I used optical character recognition just to play and works quite well, independently by the language
But I do not need it, just want to read something that for various reasons I do not have as digital.

its a shame that the camera voice control option cant also do other actions:
"zoom"
"focus"
"flash"
etc

true good intuition, would make perfectly sense considering one hand use
