Everyone At XDA has given me so much I feel like I need to Give a little back.
I learned this when I had my treo 650, If you hate the tiny radars and satelite pictures you get on your phone, or don't want to load the whole weather page from your local news site, here is my fix for that.
1) on your computer find the local radar or Satelite that you want on your phone. (if you want animated view, animate 1st.)
2)Move cursor over map and right click mouse. Select properties.
3)High lite the Address (URL) right click mouse copy and paste in an E-mail and send it to your phone.
4) once on your phone you can open the e-mail and just select the URL address and your browser will load it. Save it to favorite's and you got it.
You only have to do this one time is seems that updates and changes are automaticaly saved to the same URL address.
5)the following web sites I know work where I am. P=Pic/A=Animate
Wungerground.com (P&A)
Accuweather.com (P&A)
bigblue marble.com (P&A)
Intellicast.com (P)
(intellicast and big blue marble sat's photos are huge(date size) but pretty and detailed)
Noaa Radars USA (Use Standard Version link below NOAA Emblem) (P&A)
National Hurricane Center Sat's (P)only
Localwireless.com USA (P&A)
I used them during the 2005 hurricane season and was well informed
Try your locals and nationals good luck' Jami J
Java loads and Flash will not work on my phones (TREO 650) Or (TILT)
dose anyone know how to make them work?
Nice tip, thanks. I check Weather Underground every day on my PC but hadn't thought to try it yet on my Tilt.
Hello,
I want to announce just another sudoku game for android: OpenSudoku. You can install it via Android Market or download installation package from project's homepage:
http://code.google.com/p/opensudoku-android/
Main motivation for me in creating this game was to learn android's SDK and also existing sudoku games didn't meet my requirements (but honestly I haven't tried them all ;-).
Feature highlights:
- Preloaded with 90 puzzles, you can also enter your own puzzles.
- Optimized for control by finger and keyboard.
- Game time tracking and history.
- It's open source.
Any feedback is welcome.
One thing I would love for a sudoku game is instead of a screen popping up with numbers to choose from is have them already laid on the bottom of the screen. A good sudoku app I've seen for the ipod is like that and also makes the numbers unclickable when you have used them 9 times. The only thing I would change from your app is the aesthetics from the beginning menu. Good start!
New version with multiple input modes
Thanks for your feedback. As you've suggested, I've added support for multiple input modes - now you can choose whether to use popup or numbers in the bottom of the screen.
I think I am the first one to create a real wake-on-lan app for WP7.
This one doesn't use a intermediate proxy server or whatever, but opperates directely from your device thanks to the sockets in WPMango
The user interface is maybe a bit ugly
Anyway, this is how it looks:
V1.0
You can download it trough the marketplace
V1.1: updated with live tiles (not yet available in marketplace... They're pretty slow at the moment ^^ )
There is an update waiting in the marketplace's queue which brings live tiles to this app. Using them you can wake your computer with one click of a button
V1.2 will look something like this:
Further changes are per-device different icons
V1.3
Some gui improvements
User can add icons
Suggestions, comments, bug reports, ... Everything is welcome here!
Enjoy!
Nice, good work. Keep it up!
Marketplace approval process is sloooow!
Still waiting for 1.1 and 1.2 is already standing in line...
1.2 features different pictures per device as live tile
and a rework of the existing icons is done (thanks to Abdelouahab Rachyd)
thanks for this information mate
Any way you can make it traverse the interwebs and use WOL away from your network?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I tried it many times before with any kind of web-based applications in the past, but it never worked. Probably this is an issue with my router.
So I actually can't test it...
But I could actually try to add an IP-address with it
I'll come back to it ;-)
1.1 is live! (at last )
submitting 1.2 this evening!
version 1.2 is the coolest!
Sounds good. I'll have to try it out when I get home.
Version 1.2 is live since yesterday!
New icons, live tiles with different pics per device
Version 1.3 will bring some animations between page transitions, which makes the app nicer to look at
If there are issues, let them be known!
jeeej, version 1.3 is in the marketplace!
made some gui improvements!
and from now on you can add your own images!
enjoy!
I got WoW (wake over wan) working with my router. I had to add a few commands in DD-WRT. Now I would prefer to use your application, but I need a field for IP address. The application I found that works is called WakeonWan if you want to take a peak.
Also, I can't ever seem to find your app when searching the marketplace on my phone or Zune. I have to use the link in your OP.
Hi,
I also made one some month ago, first using an external webservice to send the packet, and now using sockets.
Its name is Wake my PC. The UI is a bit more complete but the overall features are the same (except the Wake-on-WAN process is more evident as you can directly specify an IP/port).

Name: Notepad
About the app:
The Office app is powerful, but its syncing features slow it down. Notepad by AppsForMe is a great app to choose if you just want to take plaintext notes without the wait. It’s also the only text editor that supports folder structures, and the look of the app makes it feel like a part of the operating system (animations included). You can also pin documents or directories to the Start screen and send documents as emails or text messages.
The app has 4.6/5 stars over 48 reviews.
“Amazing app and it does what it says without any problems. Easily the best Notepad app on the marketplace and the fastest” 5/5
“Superb. You can store email and SMS templates. It makes life a lot easier. Don't miss it.” 5/5
“Very, very, very well done. Thank you.” 5/5
Developer's notes:
I'm always looking for more feedback on Notepad. Unfortunately, I don't get a huge number of support emails, so I'm left up to my own devices to figure out what could be added or needs to be changed.
Please give the application a shot. If you like it, great! If you don't, let me know what's up (in the comments). Chances are I can do something about it. Thanks for reading!
Possible future features (not guaranteed in any way, and not listed in any particular order.)
+ change keyboard theme
+ password-protect
+ lists
+ quick folders (swipe in directory view)
+ "emtpy trash" button
+ scroll sideways on long filenames
+ "import all" to parse "backup all"/"export all"
+ "export all" -> skydrive
+ import from url (skydrive/dropbox)
+ "are you sure?" -> "ready to send?"
+ title of note title -> "document title"
+ custom-name "root"

I'll be watching this thread as well as my developer email, [email protected], for any questions, comments, complaints, or concerns. Thanks!
Some screenshots (attached).
Thank you!!!
Glad you like it!
Please let me know anything about it that seems weird or cool. I do things a lot differently than all of the other text editor applications, and I want to know what's good and what's not.
Wow really good Idea ! I have searched this for Quick Notes ( i use on the PC often the Editor ) and I would use a similiar App on the Phone ...
Thank you!!! i need this for school
simple and does what it says, good app
Notepad Suggestion
First, great Notepad app. I would just like to add a password to a note file.
Thanks!
It's good to see interest in the application! Notepad just hit 15,000 downloads today, and I'm always looking to make that number higher, so the more suggestions you guys have the better.
So far I'm seeing requests for:
(1) a new live tile, particularly for pinned documents/directories
(2) change the name of the "root" directory (to what, though, I wonder?)
(3) password-protect documents
(4) implement lists as well as documents
Anyone have any other suggestions, or want to plus-one a feature?
--AppsForMe
Guess you had missed our review. Skydrive Integration and ability to send notes as attachment.
Yes, I definitely saw your review! I actually did implement two of your suggestions (preview of content when pinned, ability to move folders).
Here's how I feel about your other requests:
First, the Windows Phone operating system prevents third-party developers (read: me) from sending email attachments. Same goes for speech-to-text.
Second, as soon as you want SkyDrive, you should just be using Office. The Office app supports either (a) local files without folders, or (b) SkyDrive files with SkyDrive folders. Goodness knows that I can never match the Office app for stability, integration, features, or UI. Plus, Notepad's other sell is that it's fast--loading notes, saving notes, navigating folders--implementing web functions would slow everything wayyyy down. I see the lack of SkyDrive as a selling point.
(Side note: Office supports sending documents as attachments. Two birds with one stone!)
Notepad for WP the best
I think the requests thus far are pretty much what is missing although it seems it's going to be an uphill battle due to OS restrictions. Installed the app last week on my Lumia and it's amazing, clean and easy to use. Keep up the good work.
I used to use this app, but it had this bug where i could not scroll to the bottom of the longer note. Has that been resloved in the meantime?
Also, I think skydrive sync is important (or even dropbox). When someone changes phones, how is he going to transfer notes?
thank you i need this apps
All the problems with long notes have been fixed.
I'm going to leave the auto-syncing between SkyDrive and the phone up to the native Office application--it does it better, faster, and more reliably than I ever could.
If you need to back up your documents, use the "backup all" feature to email yourself the text of the documents.
Hi Isaac,
Great app. I registered here just to say that, and thank you. I'm a note taking person but one that wants to keep them organize and your app is the only one that does it with ease. (I must of downloaded a dozen to try and removed..only one other did folders, the rest was just one giant list of notes).
If you're serious about taking users feedback, here are some of mine...all are minor little things that are mostly ui based and these are just my opinions. I think your application here is quite impressive so take these only to help out for those you agree with..
- replace 'root' with 'home' or 'my folders' perhaps?
- replace 'Remarks' when creating a new directory with 'Note: ' or remove the word entirely and place the remark note under the text field.
- titles of Directories and Notes become all lower-cased when viewing
- clicking the back button when in Search mode hides the keyboard only, so it requires clicking the back button again to exit the search function..this may be an OS thing I've seen and not something that can be changed unless you can find a way around this.
- add a Folders button at the bottom when in a non root directory to take you back, just like how it appears when in a note to take you back to its directory.
- when in a directory, can the word Notepad and the Directory name on top take you back to the folder list view or one folder out if in a subfolder?
- possible to allow user to choose which directory(ies) to list mango-syle to the right where they can swipe to the right and to go into that directory (sorry if this is unclear, I'm not too familiar with WP terminology yet)
- Button to empty trash when viewing trash directory. btw, how does the trash work..deletes automatically after so long?
- when viewing a file that has a long filename (and the feature is turned on), can it scroll?
- reduce space between documents filenames ..currently lists 5 before needing to scroll?
- backup all..cool feature. I would change 'Are you sure?' which sounds a little scary to something like 'Ready to Send?' btw, can you import back into Notepad? If note, perhaps call the feature 'email all' instead for now..
- when creating a new note it shows 'new document', the next screen where it ask for the file name it displays 'new note' ..just a consistence thing
- are all notes saved as txt files on the device? what if you remove the .txt? does it need to be displayed if it's automatically saving them as txt files.
- Can titles of notes and directories names be the system's accent color and turn black when choosing them? ..the reverse essentially.
- when adjusting toggle sliders in Settings, the phone wants to swipe to it's neighboring page a little too freely (btw, love all the settings you have here!)
- remove the larger 'root' when in the root directory list to gain some real estate back to see more directories and so it's not repeating perhaps?
And if you need any simple graphics help, I can help out.
I'd love to see Dropbox support with everything being saved to dropbox and loaded from dropbox. I'd even pay for a dropbox enabled version.
Can it handle long text file ?
Can it import text file from skydrive?
Can we Password lock the app or folder?
thanx
First: Thanks, Lumiame, for the excellent feedback. You've greatly extended the set of features I'm considering adding, and you've noted UI inconsistencies and confusions that I'll make sure to address in the next update.
To everyone who's commented so far: thanks for the good feedback. This quarter at my university is slower than my last quarter, so I should be able to get to work on the app.
Look for a good number of changes in the next updates.
thanks for sharing
Hello the Nokia Transit Beta are out now:
Here is the Download Link
Please test it and help Nokia to make it better....
Official link:
http://www.windowsphone.com/fr-FR/apps/2a006d06-08c0-4728-9635-474661226a14
As with all Nokia apps for WP7, the 'enter' key is not highlighted like it is in native apps. For apps that the enter key is a necessary step, it's always white. Based upon the 'common sense' formed from the rest of the WP7 UI, it takes a small leap of logic to realize that a single grey button must be pressed. I digress.
Needs to be able to browse contacts. Manual entry and/or paste will keep me from using it, when I can access my address book via Mango Transit.
Integration into Local Scout would be handy, too. Again, reliance on copy/paste isn't as productive when I can flick over to apps and get immediate transit routing using Mango Transit.
I look forward to Nokia Transit getting bigger and better. I do like the swiping left/right of the different routes when one is in view.
